Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

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

Luo Xiu murmured, his eyes showing yearning.

However, this yearning gesture was actually done deliberately for Gawain to see. From the previous conversation, Luo Xiu could tell that this Lord seemed to have a strong sense of vanity in a strange place.

Gawain nodded, he was increasingly satisfied with Luo Xiu's shock and obsession.

At the same time, Luo Xiu also focused on the "Holy Grail" in front of him.

It was an exquisite stone cup engraved with exquisite gilt patterns and carved entirely from chalcedony. Luo Xiu could feel the thick and ancient aura on it; it was wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and there was still a trace at the intersection of the gold patterns. It is inlaid with several precious agates that are shining with dazzling light; if you consider its functionality, its shape is more like the 'Holy Communion Cup' used by Christian believers in Luo Xiu's previous life; of course, it is also related to a certain The "holy grail" of anime that makes all wishes come true is very similar to.

And in that ancient stone cup, it was filled with clear liquid that reflected the blue, and the pure and mind-shaking spiritual aura leaked out of it, as if it was brewing in the cup, an eternal spring of spirituality - " This is why the "Spring of Spirits" got its name.

"How is it?" Gawain asked with a smile, "Seeing the 'Spring of Spirituality' for the first time, a normal extraordinary person will inevitably be yearning for it."

"……Yes."

Luo Xiu nodded, looking forward to it, and said: "That is the 'Spring of Spirituality'... It is so beautiful. I think, if it is not a 'divine object', but just a 'artwork' If so, it is still worthy of the value of the two hundred thousand gold coins."

"Hehe...yes, yes."

Gawain smiled and said: "However, in the extraordinary world, 'art' is only a very secondary thing in our eyes... Probably only the chaotic ones in [Nothingness] will pursue them blindly."

After hearing what Lord Gawain said, Luo Xiu put his hand on the storage bracelet and took out two large cash boxes from it.

"My lord, according to the agreement, these are the total of two thousand platinum coins that I will pay you."

Luo Xiu said: "Please count."

Hearing this, Lord Gawain glanced at Luo Xiu.

"Very good... very good." Gawain nodded, and a blazing golden light flashed in his eyes. The air behind him suddenly spread out like water ripples, and his "spiritual body" floated in a pale gold Emerging slowly.

Lord Gawain's "spiritual body" has a spiritual aura almost equal to that of Gawain himself. Were it not for its translucent image, it could almost pass for Lord Gawain himself.

"——[Count these money and belongings]." Lord Gawain ordered to his "spiritual body".

The spirit body bowed slightly, then walked to Luo Xiu, took the two large money boxes from Luo Xiu's hands with both hands, walked to a clean table next to it, placed the money box on the table, opened it and carefully Take inventory.

Seeing that the counting of "spiritual bodies" would continue for some time, Luo Xiu asked Lord Gawain:

"My lord, why do you want to sell this sacred object at auction?"

This is indeed a question Luo Xiu has always wanted to ask before.

When hearing Luo Xiu's question, Lord Gawain seemed stunned for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on his face and said:

"At the previous auction, I remember saying that this was the last wish of its original owner, my friend."

Just because of this...? Luo Xiu did not hear the answer he wanted, but based on the memory of his previous life, it seemed that Lord Gawain indeed had no respect for the new owner of the "Spring of Spirituality" in his previous life, Qiao Dewen, the president of the Bank of El Dorado. Make something.

"If I have to say one other reason, it would be that I also need money."

While Luo Xiu was thinking, Lord Gawain suddenly said this.

Uh... you are a "saint" of the [Supreme] fifth level destiny... Is this reason too worldly? But this is indeed more reasonable than "friends' wishes"... Luo Xiu kept thinking, and outwardly he showed the identity of a "businessman" and said:

"I understand you very well."

"..."

"You should also know that the current empire is not peaceful."

Lord Gawain said slowly: "Plague and famine, they swept in like a storm from remote places. And in the 'Round Table Hall', the other [Supreme] people also had to face up to a fact - The haze of 'war' has loomed over everyone."

"The haze of 'war'..." Luo Xiu looked thoughtful and repeated the words Lord Gawain said.

"..."

"Since it is you who bought the 'Spring of Spirituality' from me, there are some things I need to remind you."

Lord Gawain no longer extended the topic of "war". He changed the topic and said:

"Of course, you can also interpret my next words as a 'warning'."

"Please give me your instructions." Luo Xiu nodded solemnly.

"First of all, if you want to transfer this sacred object, the 'Fountain of Spirituality', to someone else, you must come to the 'Black Sword Mansion' again and report to me."

Lord Gawain said, "Secondly, if you have indeed found the hidden power from the 'Fountain of Spirituality', I hope you can serve us and the empire, at least, not become our enemy."

"This is all I ask for." Lord Gawain paused, a deep light flashed in his eyes, "Now, before my 'spiritual body' has been counted, you can still withdraw from this transaction, I I don’t blame you for that.”

"..."

"No, no need."

Luo Xiu shook his head and said: "Your request is reasonable. I promise you that the 'Spring of Spirituality' will only be used for my personal collection. As for the second item...please rest assured that if war really comes, I will never I will not become an enemy of the empire, because here is the industrial foundation that I have been operating for many years, and I cannot watch them be destroyed.”

"..."

"That's a very 'businessman' answer."

A smile appeared on Lord Gawain's face and he said: "Well, it seems that selling the 'Fountain of Spirituality' to a 'businessman' seems to be more reassuring than I thought before, at least in the 'supernormal' world." ’ level, you are quite simple.”

"You are very grateful, my lord."

Luo Xiu also responded with a smile: "However, in our eyes, 'innocence'... is indeed a beautiful virtue and a very high praise."

"..."

While Luo Xiu was chatting with Lord Gawain, the Lord's "spiritual body" had also completed its inventory work.

It closed all the money boxes placed on the table and locked them. Then it came to Gao Wen's side, nodded to its "owner" and said:

"The task of [counting] has been completed... They total two thousand platinum coins, and there is no fallacy."

"Very good." Gawain nodded, with a satisfied expression on his face. He looked at Luo Xiu with his deep eyes and said, "Now, you can take the 'Spring of Spirituality' away."

When he heard Lord Gawain's words, Luo Xiu immediately stood in front of Gawain and bowed lightly to him.

Then, Luo Xiu turned to the "Spring of Spirituality", walked slowly over, leaned over and picked up the divine object.

Just when he touched the wall of its stone cup, Luo Xiu felt a cold feeling on his fingertips. At the same time, he could feel that there was a large amount of surging "spirituality" stored in the "Spring of Spirituality", which might be the legacy of its previous owner.

But Luo Xiu did not immediately delve into the use of the "Spiritual Fountain". He just used the panel to confirm the authenticity of this divine object, and then put it away.

As a "divine object", if there is no corresponding spiritual guidance, the blue liquid filled in the "spiritual spring" will not be poured out, so Luo Xiu stored it in the "storage bracelet" and then left. When he came to Lord Gawain, he bowed to him again and said:

"Thank you again, my lord."

"..."

"No, it should be me, thanking you for your generosity."

Gawain smiled slightly and said, "Now, you can leave here with the 'Spring of Spirituality'."

…

Walking along the way he came, Luo Xiu soon came to the main gate of Lord Gawain's manor and saw the back of Becas, the "Knight of the Throne" who led him to meet the Lord.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Becas turned around and glanced at the guest he brought in before, Mr. Hammer. Then he walked to the statue of the knight on the throne beside him and reached out to touch the base.

The same dark red mist as before emitted, and the secret barrier was briefly lifted. Luo Xiu then walked out of the door and came to the knight Becas.

"Thank you for leading me the way before." Luo Xiu nodded to Becas and politely thanked him.

"It's just my job, sir."

A low voice came from under Becas's visor, "You should be grateful for your luck. Your Lordship did not convey to us an order to obliterate you."

...Fuck, this is like the style of the [Supreme]... Luo Xiu thought before that maybe Lord Gawain's personality was gentle enough, but now that he thinks about it, that is probably his disguise as a high-ranking person...

If his previous answer in the courtyard did not satisfy Gawain, Gawain might not show anything on the surface. He would also accept the two thousand platinum coins he brought, and then he would do it himself or let him The knights under him took action to nip his potential enemy in the bud...

These thoughts flashed through Luo Xiu's mind, and he was glad that he had not taken the worst step. He also said to Knight Becas:

"Then I should be more grateful to your Lordship for not treating me as an enemy."

After saying that, Luo Xiu no longer waited for Knight Becas to respond, but bowed slightly to the gatekeeper knight again, then turned around and walked towards the "Tower of Night".

…

Having obtained the "Fountain of Spirituality" from Lord Gawain, there is another transaction that requires Luo Xiu and "Night Witch" Niaf to connect again.

——The Broken Spiritual Heart of "False Pikara", Luo Xiu needs to pay another 13,000 gold coins to Niaf, which is one hundred and thirty platinum coins.

Compared to the sacred object "Spring of Spirituality", this amount of money is small money, Luo Xiu thought to himself.

At the same time, he had also arrived in front of the "Tower of Night" and saw the graceful figure he had expected.

"Night Witch" Niaf, she was lazily leaning against a tree in front of her courtyard, her black hair hanging to the ground, becoming more and more like a black waterfall flowing down.

Suddenly, Niaf opened her eyes and straightened her body.

"Ah... you came out of Gawain's place alive..."

Ni Yafu smiled slightly, she patted the ground beside her, Luo Xiu followed her movements and looked at the shrine next to Ni Yafu, which had already sealed the "Broken Heart of the God".

She knew... or guessed that I would come to her later? Luo Xiu thought to himself, and he took out a bag of money from his bracelet at the same time, which contained 130 platinum coins that Luo Xiu had counted before.

Then, Luo Xiu came to Ni Yafu, sat down generously, handed the purse to the witch in front of him, and said:

"This is the 130 platinum coins of the 'Broken Heart of the God', please keep it, Ms. Ni Yafu."

Ni Yafu was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the purse, but did not open it to count them, but smiled and said:

"Here, it's here, just take it~"

"I have a hunch that we will meet again soon."

"..."

"Thank you, Ms. Ni Yafu." Luo Xiu nodded and said with a smile.

Then, he stood up, walked to Niafu's side, picked up the shrine containing the "Broken Heart of the God", and stored it in the storage bracelet, then turned and left.

So far, there was nothing else to do in the "Black Sword Mansion" in Songyuan City... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and he walked towards the exit of the mansion.

When he was near the exit gate, a white two-tailed cat suddenly jumped out of a bush next to Luo Xiu.

It was covered with leaves and its hair was also attached to mud. The cat Intis jumped directly into Luo Xiu's arms and curled up in a safe and comfortable posture.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu just shook his head slightly, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and gently wiped the stains on the white cat.

Then, he took a step and walked out of the door of the "Black Sword Mansion".

...

Wolf Hunting Tavern.

When Luo Xiu and Intis returned here, it was already night.

Deep inside the tavern, the sound of "Knight of the Throne" Isaac and his chess friends playing chess in harmony and warmth was constantly heard. Civilized and beautiful words lingered on the beams of the tavern, as if lifting Luo Xiu up to the second floor.

Luo Xiu then returned to his room in the tavern and took out the divine object "Spiritual Spring" from his bracelet.

Until now, he was able to completely relax, carefully observe this divine object, and become familiar with its usage.
