Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

——Women will only affect the speed of my hammer swing.

When Connor said this, his whole temperament changed.

Luo Xiu seemed to see the figure of a sword master in him.

Connor is also a rising hammer master... In a sense, sacrificing Connor's singleness actually urged him to take the right path!

As Luo Xiu thought about this, the last trace of guilt in his heart disappeared.

After that, Luo Xiu said to Anthony, Pamier and Connor:

"In fact, the original candidate for the 'high priest' in the diocese was Priest Leonard. But the priest has been in charge of the affairs of the 'holy judgment' of the Sina City Church for a long time, and it is difficult for him to completely give up his position there and come to Red Maple City to take up a new priesthood."

"You also know, Captain Anthony, Pamier, and Connor."

"All of us, the 'holy judges' of the original Sina City Church, have been selected and transferred here. The diocese will arrange new clergy to fill the vacancies of the 'holy judgment' of the Sina City Church. If Leonard leaves again, then the Sina City Church will The affairs of the "holy judgment" of the church will be in trouble. "

"At that time, I just came back from Songyuan City, and I just happened to have some adventures in Songyuan City, which gave me the opportunity to be promoted. So, I took the place of Priest Leonard to accept the assessment above the diocese, and came here to serve as the "presiding priest" of the wartime church. "

"By the way, before leaving, the priest also asked me to say hello to you on his behalf. "

"..."

Luo Xiu then told his former comrades in detail about the reasons why he came to the Red Maple City Church, and conveyed Leonard's greetings.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu repeated to Anthony and others about the process of his promotion to the "fourfold destiny" as he told Leonard.

After listening to Luo Xiu's story, the complicated expression on Anthony's face finally disappeared, and was replaced by a strong shock expression.

"You said... you killed dozens of Black Fangs in Songyuan City, and even killed a '砠头'... With such achievements, no wonder you can find an opportunity to be promoted and become a fourth-level destiny.. ."

Anthony thought about the process of Luo Xiu's promotion in his own life. He thought he couldn't do such a thing - Anthony had indeed fought with the "Black Fangs" under the executioner, and knew that none of those enemies were good.

As an elite priest, Anthony could deal with one or two Black Fangs at the same time. But if he wanted to fight dozens of such enemies in a short period of time like Luo Xiu, let alone kill them, Anthony felt that he would only face death.

Seeing Anthony's thoughtful expression and Pamier's eager expression, Luo Xiu smiled helplessly and said:

"I don't recommend you to try something similar to mine... After all, I had the 'Knight of the Throne' as my bodyguard at that time. If it doesn't work, I can also let those [Supreme] people clean up the mess for me..."

"..."

"You're right... Luo Xiu."

Anthony smiled bitterly and dispelled the thought in his mind that "although it is extremely dangerous, I still want to try it", and said to Luo Xiu: "You are the 'Son of Glory'... Even if something really happens, I think the Sun will protect you in a moment..."

"..."

"But it is still worth trying."

Pamier suddenly said something from the side, which made Anthony shudder again.

After saying these words that he was going to tell his former comrades in the form of a greeting, the smile on Luo Xiu's face immediately withdrew, and he said solemnly in a serious tone:

"However, although I have replaced the priest Leonard's priesthood here, I do not intend to perfunctorily do things, but want to really make some achievements, so as not to disgrace the reputation of us priests from the Sina City Church."

"Red Maple City Wartime Church... Captain Anthony, Pamier, and Connor, we have been here once before. Among all the other priests transferred here, we are the most familiar with the situation here, which is our advantage."

"War is coming soon, this is a foreseeable fact... I need your help, just like when we fought side by side."

"..."

When Luo Xiu finished speaking, he immediately raised his head and looked at his former comrades with a sincere look.

Sensing Luo Xiu's sincere gaze, Anthony sighed slowly and said:

"I understand... I, Pamier and Connor, we, the clergy of the 'Holy Tribunal', will definitely support you. But the clergy of other offices are not familiar with you, so you will more or less encounter some resistance."

"For a position like the 'High Priest', Luo Xiu, you are still too young. You are even a few years younger than most of them... I think, Luo Xiu, you need to do something to prove your ability to them and prove that you are qualified to lead everyone in the Red Maple City Wartime Church."

"..."

"I understand, Captain." Luo Xiu nodded and agreed with Anthony's words.

What he said was indeed the truth. Luo Xiu actually felt the suspicious atmosphere from other clergy from the beginning.

And Luo Xiu was also waiting for the opportunity to establish his authority over all the clergy in the future - it could be an invasion by foreign enemies, or a high-ranking clergyman breaking a taboo, etc. Perfectly solving these events would help him establish his prestige in the wartime church.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu and Anthony chatted about their previous experiences for a while, and the brief reunion ended here.

Luo Xiu stood up and was about to leave the main hall of the Holy Inquisition, but Anthony stopped him at the last moment and said to him:

"In fact, we are very glad that it is you who came to the Red Maple City Wartime Church to serve as the 'High Priest'. We all believe in your ability, Luo Xiu."

"But, there is one thing I want to remind you..."

Anthony paused and then continued:

"Don't call me 'Captain' anymore, Luo Xiu, just call me Anthony. You are now the 'High Priest' of the church, equivalent to the acting bishop, and it is not appropriate to use the title you used to be in the 'Holy Inquisitor' team..."

"..."

Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood, nodded to Anthony, and said:

"I understand, then do as you say, Anthony."

...

The gathering ended, Anthony and Pamier returned to their posts, and the "Guiding Pastor" Colen led Luo Xiu to his "High Priest" residence.

It was a newly built dome building deep in the inner courtyard of the church, divided into upper and lower floors. Its architectural style is similar to that of Roman churches, which is balanced and solemn, but the details have more designs that symbolize "glory" and the image of the sun casting moment, and the selection of materials and colors are more flamboyant, which can better highlight the high status of the "presiding high priest" who lives here.

When this "high priest residence" was built, the clergy of the wartime church called it the "small church" in the inner courtyard of the Red Maple City Church, and other inner courtyard buildings were also built around this "high priest residence" as the origin, forming a unique arch and guard pattern.

The "guiding pastor" Colen, who led Luo Xiu to the high priest residence, bowed slightly to Luo Xiu and said:

"This is your future residence, Lord Luo Xiu, the 'high priest'. The diocese has left you with the medium of the barrier, you only need to infuse it with spirituality to activate it."

"The medium of the barrier" is the "switch" that can activate the two protective barrier barriers inside and outside. Just like when I was in the church in Sina City before, the "golden sphere" suspended in the small tower in front of the "Bishop's Seat" of Bishop Fabion was a kind of "medium of enchantment".

Luo Xiu then looked in the direction of Colen's finger, and there was also a small tower beside the entrance of his future residence, but the shape was smaller than the tower of Fabion's Seat.

In the tower, a palm-sized golden sphere was suspended. There was no trace of spirituality flowing on the surface of the sphere, and it was still in an unactivated state.

Luo Xiu then walked forward, raised his arm, gently pressed his palm on the surface of the sphere, and slowly infused the spirituality of "glory" into it.

——Buzz! Suddenly, a loud buzzing sound came from the inside of the sphere, accompanied by a rapid vibration of the surrounding air, and the surface of the sphere also changed significantly.

It began to emit a soft golden glow, and several spiritual threads diffused and dissipated from the sphere, lingering and circling around, forming a hazy and illusory light mist.

At the same time, Luo Xiu also felt a warmth on the back of his right hand. He raised his arm and found that the "holy seal" inscription on the back of his hand was also emitting a light golden light at the same time.

The spirituality contained in the "authority" granted was now closely connected with the "medium of the barrier", which allowed Luo Xiu to "open" or "close" the barrier at any time without having to come to the tower in person and touch the suspended golden ball.

Until the completion of this "high priest certification", Pastor Colen's guidance work was completed. He then bowed deeply to Luo Xiu again and left.

Luo Xiu then walked into the courtyard of the residence on his own and activated the inner barrier. The light golden curtain completely enveloped the residence, isolating the entire residence from the outside world.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu walked straight into the "church" building of the residence and carefully observed the surroundings.

The first floor of the residence is mainly a place of faith and diplomacy, with "prayer hall", "offering hall", "secret hall" and "holy scroll hall" and so on. There are also rooms such as "reception room" and "conference hall", but these rooms are usually closed. They will only be opened when important guests arrive or when some internal meetings are to be held with the church's top leaders.

Luo Xiu then came to the second floor, which is the place where the "host of the high priest" really lives.

The high priest's residence is not more spacious than the bishop's throne. Half of the space on the second floor is the bedroom, and the other half is dedicated to studying holy arts, meditation, and practice.

Luo Xiu, who was not sleepy for the time being, did not go to the bedroom first, but went directly to the holy room and sat down in front of a back chair.

Then, Luo Xiu took a long breath, looked at the surrounding environment, and calmly said to the empty air in front of him:

"Show yourself, Intis."

"..."

In the empty air, a layer of dim blue light suddenly flashed, and Intis' figure slowly appeared from it.

"...My Lord." Intis nodded, saluted Luo Xiu slightly, and said, "I have cleaned your new residence for you."

Intis, who has a strong ability to "hide" and was endowed with spirituality by Luo Xiu with the "Family Emblem", quietly hid in the carriage in the form of a civet cat when Luo Xiu's carriage left Sina City, and then came to Red Maple City.

During the whole process, Mayyev did not find anything unusual.

As Luo Xiu's "family", Intis's application of the ability to hide is now superb. She has been able to make it difficult for most of the extraordinary people with triple destiny to detect her existence without actively using other skills or emitting spirituality.

Before, when the clergy of the entire church went to "welcome" their new host high priest, Intis quietly left the carriage, entered the inner courtyard of the church, and sneaked into the residence of the high priest in the inner courtyard.

"Intis..." Luo Xiu said to Intis in a serious tone, "You should be more careful. This is the forbidden land of [Glory], you should know the consequences of being discovered."

"...Forget it."

Luo Xiu shook his head, and then said to Intis, "Have you made any progress in the things I asked you to do?"

"..."

"I have found the architect you asked me to find."

Intis said, "He is a scholar who believes in [knowledge], but he did not join the Tower of Sages or the Hidden Omniscient. Instead, he simply embarked on the path of [knowledge] through the secret scrolls and knowledge inheritance left by his family."

"Now, the family behind him has declined, and he does not intend to join any forces. He has been running the ancient building business alone in the city of Sina."

"..."

"Where is he now?" Luo Xiu asked.

"The werewolf Buzer has taken him away. He is now in the 'Lost Royal Court' and is under the care of Buzer's half-wolf tribesmen." Intis replied.

"Very good." Luo Xiu nodded, "You tell the architect to complete the construction of the 'Lost Royal Court' according to the drawings I gave him. In addition, you can give him more money so that he can stay in the Royal Court with peace of mind. I don't want to let go of an architect with a clean background easily."

"Of course, if he doesn't want to, use the soul plundered by the 'Soul Manipulator' to brand him, and let Pior clear his memories of the 'Holy Abyss' and the 'Lost Royal Court'. I don't want the extraordinary people with the fate of [Intelligence] to discover our whereabouts too early."

"..."

After speaking, Luo Xiu taught Intis the skill of "Soul Manipulator" through the "Dependent Emblem".

Intis, who accepted the teaching, soon showed a fanatical look on her face. She then prostrated herself and said to Luo Xiu humbly and respectfully:

"I will follow your will, my lord."

Intis then transformed into a spirit cat, jumped out of the window, left the church, and went to carry out the task assigned to her by Luo Xiu.

…

After Intis left, Luo Xiu leaned over the table and took out three "holy scrolls" and more than a dozen "blank scrolls" from his bracelet.

These holy scrolls that he brought out from the church in Sina City before leaving, they recorded the "four-fold destiny" holy arts, which require more experience and longer learning time than the holy arts of the third and lower destiny depths.

After completing the promotion of "demon scholar", the experience value storage and skill slots are relatively abundant, Luo Xiu is ready to learn these holy arts and create some new skills.

His current experience value storage, after a large consumption in Songyuan City, has returned to a value of nearly 200,000, which is enough for him to learn these holy arts and successfully create several new skills.

Luo Xiu then spread out the first holy scroll, and new content appeared on the panel.
