Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 182 Gawain Bakar (5k2, 10,000 per day!)

When Intis regained some consciousness, Luo Xiu stared at her with a smile and asked harmoniously:

"How does it feel?"

"...Very good." Intis nodded and said somewhat absentmindedly.

She had already felt that the "tough" feeling contained in her body before had disappeared, replaced by a new power that was lighter, more sensitive, and more precise.

This is the normal power that Indis, as the "body destroyer" of [Red Lotus], should have.

When Intis gradually returned to a fully awake state, Luo Xiu said to her:

"Now, you have lost the 'shackles' of the double-sided doll, but this also means that you will no longer have the corresponding protection... From now on, you must use at least five pieces of 'scarlet' before traveling every day. The magic crystal conceals the breath, this is my new order to you."

After saying that, Luo Xiu took out the exquisite wooden box containing the scarlet magic crystal from the storage bracelet and handed it to Intis.

Intis reached out to take it and opened it. There were twenty scarlet magic crystals inside.

She then took out five of them and crushed them with her fingertips. A dim crimson light curtain instantly covered Intis' body, restraining her originally scattered spirituality through external force.

"Very good." Seeing that Intis followed his instructions, Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Then, there is another thing."

With that said, Luo Xiu took out two "master" quality weapons and two "rare" quality equipment from his bracelet.

"This is the 'Black Thorn Blood Whip', Intis. The sharp thorns on it can usurp the enemy's blood as long as they pierce it, leaving them with broken wounds that are difficult to heal."

Luo Xiu introduced them one by one: "This is the 'Phantom Dagger'. The attacks launched with it are difficult to predict, and every once in a while, the person holding this dagger can temporarily disappear. "

"And this 'Mysterious Rune Armband' and the 'Night Cloak'... Intis, I will give them to you."

"..."

After hearing what the "Lord" said, Indis' expression was stunned and he was silent for three seconds.

Then, her eyes burst out with joy.

"You...you said, these...you want to give these...to me?"

Intis asked in an uncertain tone.

"Yes, I said, give them to you."

Luo Xiu nodded, an indifferent smile appeared on his face, and said:

"The shackles of the 'double-faced doll' have disappeared, Intis. Now you are truly a 'triple destiny' transcendent. You should have new weapons and equipment. This is your reward."

"..."

"I understand." Intis nodded.

She then knelt on the ground, bowed deeply to Luo Xiu, and said excitedly:

"Thank you, Lord."

"I will always, always be your loyal servant."

…

Early the next morning.

The night before, after Luo Xiu taught Indis how to use the new weapon, he confirmed the movements of the enemy "Black Fang" again and then went to bed early to sleep.

The "Black Teeth" seemed to be much more cautious this time. On the "Silver Dial Compass", the position where they stayed for a long time was very different from the previous one. They should be constantly changing temporary strongholds.

Therefore, Luo Xiu did not immediately find trouble with them.

Luo Xiu knew that he had more important things at the moment - first go to the "Golden Country Bank" to obtain the loan, and then go to the "Black Sword Mansion" to complete the final transaction and transfer "False Pikara - Heart of Broken God" " and "Fountain of Spirituality" are in his hands, he can deal with the group of enemies dormant in the dark more calmly.

While making plans for today, Luo Xiu also woke up the Intis cat that was taking a nap on the windowsill.

After tidying up their clothes, Luo Xiu and Intis crushed five "Scarlet Magic Crystals" respectively, then left the Wolfhound Tavern and headed for the Bank of Gold.

…

Bank of El Dorado.

As soon as he stepped into the door of the bank, Luo Xiu was warmly welcomed by the bank waiter.

That was "Waiter" Qiao Dewen. His clean face was full of smiles. He bowed deeply to Luo Xiu at a ninety-degree angle and greeted him enthusiastically:

"Mr. Luo Xiu! And Ms. Index! The 2.3 million has been prepared and counted for you!"

"Mr. Luo Xiu, as per your request, the 2.3 million commercial coupons have been exchanged for you into 2,300 platinum coins. You are welcome to come and accept it!"

...Is this old guy addicted to working as a waiter? Luo Xiu complained in his heart, but his face remained calm and he responded with a smile:

"OK."

"Waiter" Qiao Dewen led the way, Luo Xiu and Intis followed him, and the three of them immediately arrived in front of the bank's vault.

When the bank staff responsible for counting saw the "waiter" leading Luo Xiu, he pulled the wheel on the side wall and slowly opened the stainless steel door of the vault.

Through the door, Luo Xiu saw that just inside the treasury, on a stand made of pure gold, three open exquisite money boxes were placed quietly on it.

"Please follow me." Qiao Devin stretched out his hand and made a guiding gesture, and the three of them entered the vault.

It wasn't until he actually entered the treasury that Luo Xiu noticed that the money box was emitting an extremely dazzling white light.

Two thousand three hundred platinum coins, they are arranged in three money boxes in order. Among them, two large money boxes contained one thousand platinum coins each, and the other smaller money box contained three hundred coins.

"Please check, Mr. Luo Xiu." Qiao Devin bowed slightly and said.

Luo Xiu took a quick glance and saw that the three money boxes were full of platinum coins. It was easy to calculate their specific number, which was roughly "two thousand three hundred coins".

"No need to check, I believe in the credibility of the bank." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "The efficiency of the bank is indeed satisfactory."

When Luo Xiu said this, the bank staff present showed proud expressions on their faces.

"This is our job, Mr. Luo Xiu." Qiao Devin responded. He and the other two staff members walked to the three cash boxes at the same time, closed them, pulled the locks, and then carried He followed them to Luo Xiu, held the money box in both hands, and said:

"You can take them away."

Luo Xiu nodded, took the cash boxes from Qiao Devin and the other two bank staff, and stored them in his bracelets.

"Then, it's time for us to go." After putting away the cash box, Luo Xiu said to Qiao Dewen, "Please say hello to Mr. Gonzalo for me. I'm busy today, so I'll come to visit another day."

"Okay." Jordan nodded and responded with a smile, "Please walk slowly, I will convey my greetings to Mr. Gonzalo."

…

After leaving the Golden Kingdom Bank, Luo Xiu and Intis' next trip was to go to the "Black Sword Mansion" to pay the balance and obtain the "False Pikara - Heart of Broken God" and the divine item "Spiritual Heart". spring".

But this time, they did not go immediately.

Luo Xiu took Intis to wander around Songyuan City. It was not until the evening when the "Black Sword Oath" state disappeared that Luo Xiu actually left for the "Black Sword Mansion".

After arriving at the mansion, Luo Xiu went straight to the "Tower of Night" where "Night Witch" Niaf was located.

Just like before, Luo Xiu asked Intis to wait outside. He entered the "Tower of Night" alone and came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Following Niaf's completely undisguised aura of the [Lost] Witch, Luo Xiu once again came to the third floor of the attic and saw the graceful back.

Sensing the arrival of someone, Niaf turned around with a charming smile on her face, yawned lazily and said:

"Ha... it's you. Are you here to pay the balance? Or do you just want to chat with me?"

"..."

"...Ms. Niaf. I have completed the formalities at the Bank of El Dorado. Now I will pay the final payment for the two lots."

"Oh... what a pity. I thought you were here to chat with me."

"Night Witch" Niaf, although she showed a lack of interest, the excitement in her eyes did not fade away. The next moment, she stretched under Luo Xiu's gaze, then stood up, came to Luo Xiu, and said:

"Come with me, and I will take you to see Gawain. You need to personally hand over the two hundred thousand gold coins to the sacred object 'Spring of Spirituality' into the hands of that lord."

After saying that, Niaf passed by Luo Xiu, twisted her waist and walked down the attic.

Luo Xiu followed her, and out of caution, she did not say any more unnecessary words to Niaf.

Gawain... Lord Gawain Bakar... Sure enough, if you want to take away the 'Fountain of Spirituality', you will inevitably and definitely meet that Lord.

While Luo Xiu was thinking about what he might encounter next, he and Niaf had already walked down the attic and walked out of the "Tower of Night".

Intis saw from a distance that her "Lord" and the "Night Witch" walked out together. She recalled what Luo Xiu had told her before, so she left early in a direction to avoid Niaf.

Niaf didn't notice Intis. She just hummed a cheerful tune and walked in front of Luo Xiu to lead the way. She didn't notice the silver-gray figure in the distance that turned into a cat and burrowed into the bushes.

…

Luo Xiu and Niaf walked silently. They passed through the deep path in the main courtyard and came to a manor like a paradise.

It was a manor that replicated the architectural style of a lord's mansion. Two statues of "Knights on the Throne" guarded both sides of the main entrance, and four real "Knights on the Throne" guarded on all sides.

These "Knights of the Throne" are all guard knights led by Lord Gawain Bakar as the "Knight Commander of the Throne" himself.

When the knight guarding the main entrance saw "Night Witch" Niaf arriving with another guest wearing a bronze mask, he took a step forward and raised his sword to stop the visitor from continuing. The steps forward.

"Ms. Niaf, please stop."

The low voice of the throne knight came from the gorgeous silver-shielded helmet, "My lord has an order, and only Mr. Hammer is allowed to enter."

"Okay, okay...I get it."

Niaf's voice sounded a little bored. She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, let out a long yawn, then patted Luo Xiu's shoulder and said:

"Haha...Gawain is serious. Well, he is the Hammer. You can take him in, and I will go back first."

After saying that, Niaf turned around and left in the direction of her "Tower of Night", leaving Luo Xiu alone.

But when Niaf walked away, Luo Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I am the 'Iron Hammer', and I am here to settle the payment for the sacred object 'Spring of Spirituality' to your lord."

While making the statement, Luo Xiu could feel that under the visor of the knight in front of him, he was looking at him with scrutiny.

The knight looked at Luo Xiu carefully for a while, and seemed not to notice an overly dangerous aura from Luo Xiu's body, so he nodded and said:

"I will take you in to meet the Lord. Remember, after entering the Lord's manor, don't look around, let alone touch things."

"I will pay attention." Luo Xiu nodded.

After explaining this, the knight turned around and touched the base of the knight statue next to him.

A burst of dark red mist suddenly spread out layer by layer. Luo Xiu could feel that a certain barrier seemed to have faded and a new path was opened for them.

When the knight completed the activation ceremony, he turned around again, his silver arm armor shining, and pressed on Luo Xiu's shoulder, saying, "Please follow me."

Luo Xiu felt a slight pressing sensation coming from his shoulder. The knight seemed to limit his possible hostile actions in this way.

In the Nolan Empire, this is indeed a necessary process when meeting the [Supreme] superior...

But Luo Xiu still kept an eye on it and used panel detection on the knight in front of him.

Detection showed that the knight was a [Supreme] fourth-level destiny, with a level of lv.32. There are four knights like this in Lord Gawain's manor house. Luo Xiu calculated it. If he sensed something was wrong, Luo Xiu was confident that he could still evacuate safely.

"Please lead the way." Luo Xiu then said with a smile.

…

The knight put a hand on Luo Xiu's shoulder, and at the same time "supported" Luo Xiu, walking deeper into the manor.

They passed through the overlapping landscape gardens and finally saw the figure of the Lord in a deep garden.

Lord Gawain Bakar, who was currently wearing a gorgeous gilt robe, leaned over and sniffed the blooming roses in the garden.

"My lord."

The knight who brought Luo Xiu here gave a standard knightly salute to Lord Gawain Bakar, "That Mr. Hammer, I brought him here."

"Very well, Becas."

Lord Gawain smiled, then stood up, patted the dust on his body gently, and said:

"Stand back, Becas. If anyone comes to visit, tell him that I am not available to receive him now."

"Yes." The knight named Bekas raised his head, stood at attention, and replied sonorously.

Afterwards, Knight Becas left the garden and returned to his original guard post.

When only Gawain and Luo Xiu were left in the garden, Gawain said:

"Well, I think I've seen you before...oh, I remembered."

"Before the auction started, in the main courtyard, you and Niaf were both there at that time."

"I didn't expect that as a newcomer, you would actually take a picture of that magical object... I'm curious, what was your motivation for taking a picture of it? And, aren't you afraid of its 'price'?"

"..."

"...My lord, that is a 'divine object', and that is enough."

“I believe that the true value of a ‘divine object’ cannot be measured by money.”

Luo Xiu calmly said to Lord Gawain with a pre-planned answer: "My lord, to be honest, I am a businessman. And in the eyes of businessmen, the 'price' is not something that should be feared."

"So that's it." Lord Gawain looked surprised at first, but soon returned to his usual gentleness and said, "No wonder... In other words, the reason why you bought the 'Fountain of Spirituality' is because it is in your In your eyes, is it worth more than 200,000 gold coins? "

"Yes, Lord." Luo Xiu nodded and replied in a solemn tone.

According to the experience in the previous life, if the "Spiritual Fountain" in the previous life was eventually owned by Qiao Dewen, and the person who bought the "Spiritual Fountain" in the previous life was the businessman from the Golden Kingdom, and that businessman also met Lord Gawain If cross-examined like this, then it might be easier to pass the Lord's temptation or test by trying to act like a real "businessman".

Luo Xiu thought so, so his words and actions were subconsciously moving closer to a real "businessman".

And now, the "Asset Certificate", "Manston Family Emblem" and "El Dorado Bank Certificate" and other items held by Luo Xiu are enough to prove his identity as a true "businessman".

"Okay, I agree."

Lord Gawain spread his hands, with a relaxed expression on his face, and said:

"If you just want to find more from the 'Spring of Spirituality' and its potential value from the perspective of an 'investor', then I am quite relieved about you."

"At least, you are not one of those greedy, powerful cultists who can do whatever it takes to pursue taboos."

What you are saying...I am a dignified priest! Luo Xiu felt pride inexplicably in his heart, but he quickly restrained it and replied to Gawain:

"No, no, your lord. Excessive pursuit of taboos is just like those businessmen who pursue temporary profits. They will gradually lose their true heart and sink into depravity."

"Well... you're right, friend."

Gawain nodded, his golden eyes glowed, as if he had confirmed something important in an instant.

"Very good, I am very satisfied with your answer."

Gawain said: "Your breath is stable enough, and your words are sincere enough. Although you are not my ideal buyer, but... there is nothing wrong with it."

After speaking, Gawain raised his arm, and the golden light in his eyes became blazing instantly, and at the same time, he said in his "command":

"——【Remove the illusion】."

Suddenly, the surrounding "garden" disappeared, and the scene in front of Luo Xiu became like a misty valley.

Through the mist, Luo Xiu seemed to be able to see many illusory and beautiful creatures, they were happily swimming in it.

Their images were exactly the creatures that Luo Xiu had seen in the "Sea of ​​Spirituality", those flying in the starry sky!

Luo Xiu's pupils widened, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

Gawain turned his head and glanced at Luo Xiu. He seemed very satisfied with his reaction and smiled faintly.

He raised his hand again and "commanded":

"——【Mist disperses】."

The next moment, the mist that carried spirituality dissipated. A translucent, shining "holy grail" appeared in front of Luo Xiu.

"That's the 'divine object' you bought with 200,000 gold coins."

Gawain smiled and said:

"——That's the 'spring of spirituality'."

...
