Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

After saying that, Luo Xiu rubbed the storage bracelet with his fingers for a while, and pulled out a constantly beating robot heart that was a mixture of blood and flesh.

"Heart?" Hubert looked at the newly taken out thing by Luo Xiu and raised his eyebrows, "Is this... the heart of the 'Dragon Hunter' Los?"

"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded and said, "This is an important means to control him."

"It is the core of a certain [intellectual] forbidden technology. On the previous battlefield, the golem knight named Los gave it to me personally in order to win my trust."

"I will hand it over to you. During the period when I leave Red Maple City, if 'Dragon Hunter' Los has any signs of losing control, please do not hesitate to crush it. This will greatly damage the city. It has the function of armor."

After saying that, Luo Xiu handed over the beating heart in his hand. Hubert hesitated for a moment, then took it solemnly.

"I understand, I will monitor it." Hubert nodded slightly, "Don't worry, go to Songyuan City."

"..."

Afterwards, Hubert and Luo Xiu chatted about other things, then stood up and left to prepare for the upcoming enthronement ceremony.

Luo Xiu continued to deal with church affairs in the Holy Office, and issued some new orders to the apostles in the "Holy Abyss" court. This lasted until noon, until the sun hung high at the top of the sky.

…

noon.

Church, a moment before the altar.

When the church bell rang three times on time, hundreds of clergymen from all over the church had gathered here.

They temporarily put aside all their priestly work and came to participate in the ceremony where their respected "priest" Rossio Carlos was officially appointed as the "Church Bishop".

At this time, the door of the church has been closed and is not open to the public for the time being. The church has also opened two layers of Great Sun Gold Barriers inside and outside to prevent any possible external interference.

"How deplorable, Lord Hubert."

"Grand Inquisitor" Baines, who was invited to participate in the promotion ceremony, lamented to Hubert, who had not yet come to the stage to preside over the ceremony:

"I didn't expect that Luo Xiu Carlos would be the first among us stationed in charge to advance to the fifth level of destiny and become a saint..."

"On behalf of Bianting, I would like to congratulate Lord Luo Xiu. In my own name, I donate 60,000 gold to the church to show our support for the church's sacred cause."

"You are too polite, Mr. Baines." Hubert nodded to Baines, "I would like to thank you for your generosity on behalf of Luo Xiu."

On the other side, two generalists from the "Fangbeiyuan", Erfan and Eureka, were also invited to participate in the ceremony. Alfan said:

"The Fangbeiyuan also congratulates our firm and reliable ally, Rossio Carlos. Since the 'Bianting' has donated 60,000 gold to the church, we also represent the Fangbeiyuan and donate 40,000 gold to the church. , to thank the church for its support of our past research.”

"I hope that the alliance between the church, Bianting and Fangbeiyuan can be maintained for a long time."

"Of course, Your Excellency Irfan, Your Excellency Eureka." Hubert also nodded to the two knowledgeable people, "I also thank you for your generosity on behalf of Luo Xiu."

The greetings between several people did not last long. Hubert saw from a distance that the figure of the "protagonist" of this ceremony had appeared at the edge of his field of vision.

"Luo Xiu is here, your Excellencies." Hubert said with a smile on his lips, "Please take your seats, the ceremony will begin soon."

After saying that, Hubert gracefully made a "please" gesture to the empty seat next to the chief, then turned around and left, boarding the altar for a moment.

Luo Xiu had put on the bishop's robe and walked quickly towards the altar.

In Luo Xiu's eyes, "Holy Deacon" Hubert was dressed in gorgeous robes and a golden triple crown. Perhaps it was the blessing of the clothes that made him look particularly sacred and solemn.

In Hubert's hand, he also held a finely carved sacred scepter made of white oak and gold. The top of the scepter was inlaid with strands of golden threads symbolizing divinity, like an engraved sun.

It was an [Epic] quality magic staff, named [Sacred Grip], which had the skill effect of greatly enhancing the power of the [Glory] holy magic. Its symbolic meaning far exceeded its actual value.

The priests stood apart with piety and respect on their faces, and Luo Xiu, bathed in longing and reverent gazes, followed Hubert onto the altar.

After Luo Xiu officially ascended the altar, the priests in the inner courtyard saluted with both hands, made the sacred gesture of an equilateral triangle on their chests, and began to chant the sacred praise.

Hubert held the sacred scepter lightly with both hands, looked at Luo Xiu calmly, and asked him in a high-pitched but gentle voice:

"Are you ready, Luo Xiu?"

"The sacred road has been extended for you, and the door of glory has been opened to you!"

The hymn rises.

When Hubert asked this question, Luo Xiu looked pious, half-kneeling on one knee in front of Hubert, and raised his hands in front of him like a consecration.

"I have made all preparations, Lord Hubert."

Luo Xiu said: "My soul will be with the glory, and my life will be a sacred bridge. I swear in the name of 'Luo Xiu Carlos' - I am the most devout believer and the most loyal person of the Great Sun." The defender of the Way, the most humble servant.”

This is the sacred sentence in the "Glorious Listening" that must be recited when a "bishop" is promoted to the throne.

When Luo Xiu chanted them, a faint golden light emanated from his body, as if the sun had put a veil on him.

Huberte nodded, then he looked up at the sky, raised the sacred scepter high, and declared devoutly:

"In the name of the 'Holy Deacon', I make a sacred declaration to you - the Great Sun is above, and you will receive the noble gift of the Sun-Forging God's Glory! He will be with you, will guide you, protect you, save you, and sublimate you!"

"Your soul will be blessed by heaven, and your name will be engraved in the mortal world - Luo Xiu Carlos, this is the grace of the Great Sun."

Then, he lowered his arms and held The scepter was slowly handed to Luo Xiu's hands, which were raised upwards, and he said:

"——Luo Xiu Carlos, take the scepter in my hand that symbolizes [Glory]."

"I declare the Holy Grant in the name of Archbishop Sid Lawrence. From now on, you will become one of the bishops of the Holy Court and hold all the power of the Red Maple City Church!"

"..."

When Hubert finished speaking, the voices of the clergy chanting became louder and more passionate, and the hymn reached the climax of the ancient tune.

Hundreds of burning golden eyes were looking forward to the moment when Luo Xiu Carlos took over the scepter and was officially promoted to "bishop".

Luo Xiu's hands had touched the handle of the sacred scepter. He slowly stood up, took the scepter from Hubert's hand, and took up the [Holy Grip].

Feeling the heavy weight of the scepter in his hand, Luo Xiu turned around and raised it high.

A golden light suddenly emanated from the scepter, accompanied by the voices of the clergy under the altar that surged like a tide--

"Bishop!"

"Our Bishop!"

"Ah! Luo Xiu Carlos!"

"Praise! Luo Xiu Carlos!"

"..."

Amid the shouts of "Bishop" and his name, Luo Xiu raised his sacred grip, and the knowledge of the art of "Divine Glory Oracle" emerged in his mind.

At this time, the spirituality of [Glory] has been filled to the highest point, and the time to communicate with "Casting Sun Moment" and ask Him to bestow the oracle is now the best.

Buzz! Multiple buzzing sounds overlapped in one place, and the light from the scepter continued to overflow and echoed in the sky.

The invisible existence descended, and the sacred will enveloped it, turning into a clear and broken picture, an ancient and low whisper, flashing in front of Luo Xiu's eyes and echoing in his ears.

He saw a town on the verge of destruction. The flames burned everything in sight. Countless deformed and twisted [Red Lotus] exterminators emerged from the cracks in the ground. They killed everyone they met, dismembered their bodies, and sewed them up to become their own new flesh and blood.

[Wongsika Town...]

[Wongsika Town...Wongsika Town...Wongsika Town...]

In Luo Xiu's ears, repeated words were murmured over and over again.

"Wongsika Town", it was a small border town in the Nolan Empire, not far from Hongfeng City.

A new panel appeared in front of Luo Xiu, showing the content of the guidance of the "Divine Light Oracle":

[He grieves with mercy and grace——]

[Where the holy light cannot reach, wailing will permeate the wilderness, and thorns will bloom with flowers of destruction]

[Go to Onsika Town and strangle the unreachable disaster in the cradle——]

[There is a conspiracy brewing there, and deformed death is lurking underground. The light can no longer dispel the haze——]

[Let's go, as the "Apostle of Divine Light" let's go! Go to Ongsika Town to investigate the reasons for the emergence of a large number of "destroyers" and save fellow countrymen from misfortune]

[Complete it, and a divine gift that matches the merit will be given in a moment]

[Countdown to the appearance of disaster: 14 days]

[After completing this "Divine Glory Oracle" or before the countdown ends, no new "Divine Glory Oracle" can be carried out]

[……]

"Divine Glory Oracle" is essentially a divine mission from "Casting Sun in a Moment". It just can't see the difficulty of the mission, nor the final reward. It only guides where to go and what to do, but this is enough for Luo Xiu.

He then raised his scepter and said loudly:

"--I have received the divine proclamation!"

"--Wongsika Town! He guides us there!"

"I heard His voice. He said: 'There is a conspiracy brewing there, deformed death is lurking underground, and the glory can no longer dispel the haze'!"

"To save our compatriots who are entangled in disaster, that will be our holy deed!"

When Luo Xiu finished his last sentence, he held the scepter in his hand high and did not put it down, but solemnly scanned the people under the altar with his burning golden eyes.

The clergy were jubilant, they were in high spirits, staring at the figure of "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos in the center of the altar, and the excited voices covered one wave after another:

"--That will be our holy deed!"

"--That will be our holy deed!"

"--That will be our holy deed!"

All the clergy were repeating the last words of their leader-"Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos.

Until the sound like a wave gradually subsided, the "promotion ceremony" successfully ended in a solemn and boiling atmosphere.

This is an extremely important day for the church.

A day that is enough to be recorded in the history of Red Maple City.

…

Late at night.

"That Luo Xiu Carlos, he has officially been promoted to the bishop of the church..."

Having completed the mission [New Home], he was officially invited to join the church, and exchanged the [Glorious] initial skill "Glorious Inscription" for "Thomas the Tank Engine" from the church missionary station with his merits. As a novice clergyman, he participated in the entire process of the promotion ceremony.

At this time, he and other players who became "Saint Guardians" were carrying out the night patrol mission issued by the church.

But he was still thinking about what happened in the previous ceremony, and the last scene always appeared in front of him.

He saw that Bishop Ross Carlos exuded a sacred glow, raised his scepter high and "summoned" the arrival of the will of a great existence - that seemed to be the "divine revelation"? It seems to be a very high-level glorious skill...

However, what Thomas could not forget the most was not the almost free holy light special effects, but the declaration made by Luo Xiu Carlos with the "divine oracle":

"There will be a 'disaster' in Onsica Town... I heard from other clergymen that it seems not far from Red Maple City..."

"'There is a conspiracy brewing there, deformed death is lurking underground, and the glory can no longer dispel the haze'! What will happen? Ah ah ah ah! I really want to know..."

"I really want to go, I really want to go, I really want to go..."

Thomas vaguely guessed that it might be the next "big event" that players can participate in, and he, who has already touched the extraordinary, is now more eager to fight than ever before.

He looked at the mithril straight sword in his hand. After replacing the weapon from the "Forging Manor", he was full of confidence in his current combat power.

However, at the previous promotion ceremony, the "bishop" made a brief declaration and then there was no further news. After the ceremony, the normal process returned. It seemed that several clergy had changes in their clergy, but that was not important in Thomas' eyes.

"I have to find an opportunity... to see if I can apply for a place to go to the 'Wongsika Town' to perform the mission..."

Thomas murmured, and he was also planning in his mind.

Because he was too focused, Thomas did not notice.

Just in front of him, at the corner of the street.

A hidden figure in a black cloak was quietly watching them in the dark.

"It's the 'Adventers'..."

A vague murmur came from under the cloak.

On a skinny arm, the black dragon claw mark was flashing alternately.

Then, he shook his cloak, and his figure floated towards the direction of the "Adventers" like a ghost.

...
