Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Early morning, Wolf Hunter Tavern.

After returning from the Golden Country Bank, Luo Xiu only had a light sleep and woke up from the bed very early.

He had been thinking about the matter of "Villino Bakar" -

Although he had already discussed with Qiao Dewen that the illegitimate son of Marquis Bakar must die, Luo Xiu was thinking about something deeper.

In the previous interrogation of Holdwell, Holdwell had confessed everything he knew.

But this was far from enough - because in the secret note that Anthony brought back from the Holy Judgment mission in Onsica Town, it also recorded the arrangement for the "Blood and Flesh Festival" to secretly send the new exterminators to the imperial capital.

Luo Xiu, who had sat up straight on the bed with a solemn face, began to think deeply about something.

Obviously, the illegitimate son of the Marquis, "Villino Bakar", did not have the ability to reach out to the imperial capital, which means that there are other "order killers" above Velino and in the imperial capital, and their power and level are far higher than him.

But this is not just the information that the "Fire Bronze Knight" Holdwell with the fourth destiny can access.

Even Luo Xiu clearly remembered that the secret note also allowed "Blood and Flesh Festival" to treat Holdwell as a discarded child when necessary. Obviously, Holdwell was not important in the eyes of the person who wrote the secret note.

But would "Villino Bakar" be the one who wrote the secret note?

Luo Xiu expressed doubts about this, but did not quickly confirm this, but kept this possibility.

But whether the person who wrote the secret note was Velino or not, for the sake of safety and the consideration of hidden task rewards, Luo Xiu would kill him and completely eradicate this evil.

As for the Order Killer in the "Imperial Capital", Luo Xiu did not consider investigating more for the time being - the unknown danger was one of the reasons. If he attracted the attention of the high-ranking people of the Seventh Fate of the Supreme, or even Emperor Augustville himself, it would be more trouble than gain.

His current plan was to kill "Villino Bakar" himself - directly cut off the link between the "Order Killers" from the Imperial Capital to the grassroots, so that the communication between them would be broken, and there would be no extra sight to investigate the whereabouts of the secret note in Onsika Town.

Luo Xiu planned this for the time being, and he was also recalling whether there was a related plot in his previous life.

But no matter how he searched his memory, he did not have even the slightest impression of a major "Order Killer" disaster in Songyuan City.

Perhaps the "Order Killer" had already happened in secret, but was quietly resolved by the Marquis...

Because of the special identity of "Villino Bakar", it is possible that the lord's mansion would not make it public, or even keep it as a secret that needs to be strictly guarded.

At that time, the players were at most at the third level of destiny, far from the authority to access such intelligence.

Or.

Maybe the "Ordinal Murder" did not happen at all?

Because in the previous life, Marquis Bakar was going to Kuma Territory to participate in the rebellion later, and "Thunder General" Albert did not go to Red Maple City.

Lord Gawain and Albert, two "saints" at the top level, at least one of them stayed in Songyuan City at any time.

If "Villino Bakar" had just been promoted to the fifth level of destiny "saint", he would have absolutely no chance of winning against either Gawain or Albert.

His only advantage was probably his identity as the eldest son of the bloodline of the real Marquis Bakar, but this identity was not even recognized by the Marquis...

According to the progress of the previous life, this little Bakar could not cause any trouble. He might have stopped because he could not see the chance of winning.

And now this little Bakar is obviously floating... Luo Xiu thought.

But no matter what, the fact that "Villino Bakar" is a killer of order will not change.

Therefore, Luo Xiu is equally determined to kill him.

Under Luo Xiu's arrangement, Intis and other Saint Abyss apostles lurking in Songyuan City have already investigated his address and put him under close surveillance.

But to be on the safe side - just as Luo Xiu and President Qiao Dewen discussed, Luo Xiu will not act immediately.

That will wait until three days later, until the spiritual remnants of Qiao Dewen's "soul-stealing" of Holdwell are completely dissipated.

That is the safest way.

And a well-prepared attack is the most fatal.

...

While thinking about the matter of "Villino Bakar".

Luo Xiu has gotten up from the bed, walked to the window, and opened the curtains with a "swish".

The sunlight suddenly shone in, making the room much brighter in an instant. His mind temporarily cleared his thoughts about Velino, and instead thought about today's arrangements.

Luo Xiu took out the "Silver Sundial Compass" from his bracelet and looked down.

The mercury needle on it had begun to swing very slightly, indicating that the "Hidden Elder" Baberon was getting closer to his location, and it was only about half a day's journey from Songyuan City.

According to what Luo Xiu had said to "Saint Deacon" Huberte before, his plan for coming to Songyuan City - when Baberon approached Songyuan City, he would temporarily stop tracking Baberon and enter Songyuan City to meet the Archbishop first, so as to inform the Archbishop about the "Hidden Elder" Baberon and the Black Crystal Factory as soon as possible.

This kind of timing card is perfectly matched, and there is absolutely no risk of leakage in advance. It can catch Barberon and Sombra Factory off guard and achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.

"It's almost time..."

Luo Xiu murmured, he looked at the silver dial compass in his hand again, and then put it back into the storage bracelet.

Just this morning, let’s go to the main church to meet with the Archbishop…

Luo Xiu planned this, this was his top priority when he came to Songyuan City.

But before he finished eating and washing, and prepared to actually leave for the main church,

He suddenly felt a tremor in his spirit——

That is the spirituality of the "Holy Abyss" that is connected to him and his "Holy Abyss Apostles".

This tremor is pure and strong. It belongs to the same level as Luo Xiu, and there is only one "Apostle of the Holy Abyss" at this level...

——"Executioner" Koros!

Koros initiated spiritual transmission. He seemed to have something that he wanted to report to his "Lord".

Luo Xiu had a vague suspicion, so he closed and locked the doors and windows, summoned the "Shadow Raven" to create a real phantom of himself, and then sat back on the edge of the bed, with a deep red color appearing on the back of his hands. The dragon claw mark.

The crimson rings of transmission floated one after another, and Luo Xiu's figure became dim and gradually dissipated between the flickering of light and shadow.

And the scene in his eyes also underwent huge changes, as if the world was distorted.

The real world disappeared from his eyes, and the world belonging to the "Holy Abyss" slowly condensed.

Until all the lines coincided and overlapped with the scenes in his memory, Luo Xiu had arrived in the royal hall that belonged to him alone. He saw "Executioner" Koros kneeling there, with a look on his face. Showing enthusiasm.

"Lord!"

After seeing the arrival of "Lord" Luo Xiu, Koros bowed devoutly to Luo Xiu, and then said excitedly:

"I've finished! I've completed the commission you gave me!"

really……

Luo Xiu understood completely in his heart.

The commission he had previously entrusted to "Executioner" Koros to complete was Bahrain's mission [Night of Molten Iron and Burning Steel]. The "completion" that Koros said could only be this matter.

He then nodded slightly and said in a slightly approving but still indifferent tone:

"I see."

"You did a great job, Kroos."

"So, where is what I want - the head of 'King of Burning Steel' Harris?"

The moment Luo Xiu finished speaking, Koros reached into his arms and took out a bright red bracelet.

The surface was as bright red as blood, and light like broken cinnabar was flowing in it. It is also a kind of "storage bracelet", but it is more evil. It can be used to store corpses with extraordinary spirituality... Through panel detection, Luo Xiu has understood his physical nature.

This is a creation of the combination of [Red Lotus] and [Intelligence], and is prohibited in the empire. But Luo Xiu was not surprised that Koros would use it to contain Harris's body.

Koros held the crimson bracelet in his left hand, and his right hand was already rubbing its surface. Tiny spells lit up where his fingertips touched it.

A head - the head of "King of Burning Steel" Harris, was pulled out from the "ring" of the bracelet while the spells were flashing!

It was a middle-aged man with a red beard and braids. His hair was also braided like his beard, and the color was as if it had been dyed after being soaked in a vat of blood for a long time.

The expression of despair, doubt, fear, and unwillingness before his death still remained on his face, and this expression was finally fixed at the moment of death.

"He is 'King of Burning Steel' Harris, Lord."

Kross grabbed Harris's head with one hand and said to Luo Xiu enthusiastically:

"According to your instructions, after I led the army to station in Fafnir City and sent away Babelun, I immediately led the 'Haws' to the border settlements and locked the 'Steel Burners' trace!"

"Late last night, in the name of 'execution', I launched a clearing campaign against several strongholds of the 'Burning Steel Furnace'. We bloodbathed them, and their leader, 'King of Burning Steel' Harris, was also killed by me. Kill it with your own hands!"

"..."

Koros talked enthusiastically about his achievements, but Luo Xiu didn't pay much attention to what he said after that.

Because the moment Kroos took out the head of "King of Burning Steel" Harris, Luo Xiu's mission panel suddenly jumped, and the mission progress of [Night of Molten Iron and Burning Steel] was advanced!

As long as Harris's head is delivered to Bahrain, Luo Xiu can complete the settlement of this commissioned task.

So, when Kroos wanted to describe in detail the details of his killing of "King of Burning Steel" Harris, Luo Xiu interrupted him:

"That's enough, Koros, that's enough."

He looked at Koros and said: "You have done a good job, Koros. So, do you have anything else to report to me?"

"Of course, of course! My great Lord."

Koros said: "We seized a large number of cursed weapons and equipment from the stronghold of the 'Burning Steel Furnace'."

"Then we can better arm our colleagues in the 'Holy Abyss', or we can smelt them and reforge them into more powerful cursed weapons!"

"Also, we have captured the most important thing of the 'Steel-Burning Furnace' - the 'Steel-Burning Furnace'! We have captured a 'Steel-Burning Furnace'!"

Even the burning steel casting furnace was seized? Luo Xiu was quite surprised when he heard Kross's report.

"I understand." Luo Xiu nodded and said:

"When the time comes, send the cursed weapons, equipment, and the cauldron furnace you captured to the manor of 'Ghost Craftsman' Balin. It just so happens that I also have something to talk to him about."

"I will obey your will, Lord." Koros knelt down again and said piously.

…

Holy abyss.

"Ghost Craftsman" Balin, after he was brought into the Holy Abyss by the mourners and promised Luo Xiu to stay here, he was placed in a classical manor in the abandoned royal court.

Just like the "Forging Manor" of the dwarf Mir in the real world, Bahrain also has a similar forging manor, and the name is still named after "Bahrain Blacksmith Shop".

When Luo Xiu came here, the sound of "dang, dang--" was heard continuously from the depths of the manor. He had already seen the strong old man swinging the hammer again and again with his bare arms. It fell into the smelting furnace.

And in the hot smelting furnace, there are rows of molds of "bronze" keys.

That is Balin's main job in the "Holy Abyss" - since he came to the "Holy Abyss", he has forged nearly a thousand prototypes of keys, but it is not enough for Luo Xiu.

When he saw the "Lord of the Holy Abyss" arriving, Balin stopped swinging his hammer and walked towards Luo Xiu.

"how are things?"

Luo Xiu smiled and greeted Balin, "Are you still used to living in the Holy Abyss?"

"...Not bad." Balin nodded.

"To be honest, I have seen a lot of new things."

"Orcs, humans and dwarves can live together so harmoniously, and even opposing destinies can find a corner to coexist here... This is indeed incredible, and it can also be called a miracle."

"Just get used to it." Luo Xiu smiled and nodded, and then said to Balin:

"I brought a gift for you, Balin. I hope you like it."

"What gift?" Balin tilted his head.

Luo Xiu no longer answered him, but took out the crimson bracelet that Koros had given him earlier from his arms, and handed it to Balin's hand.

"Open it." Luo Xiu said, "You will be happy."

Balin was stunned for half a second, but still followed Luo Xiu's instructions and activated the spell on it.

Then, one or two drops of blood dripped from it. When Balin pulled out a head from the bracelet, the expression on his face instantly stiffened.

First there was doubt, then astonishment, then shock, then ecstasy...

And at the same time.

In Luo Xiu's task panel, the commissioned task [Night of Molten Iron and Burning Steel] has also been completed simultaneously——
