Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 37 White Oak Staff

The fragment of King Isol's crown is engraved with extremely gorgeous patterns and several hollows for inlaying gems.

But these gems have now been lost, leaving only the broken quarter of the crown itself...

It seems that Greville has always treasured this crown.

Luo Xiu frowned, vaguely feeling that there were other secrets hidden here.

Because, if it were just an ordinary dropped object, the panel would not pop up a prompt at all...

This shows that the "Fragment of King Isol's Crown" is most likely the key to unlocking a hidden mission.

"What will happen when all four fragments of the 'Crown of King Isol' are collected...?"

Luo Xiu couldn't help but think of the "motherland" that Greville had been murmuring about before.

That was the Forgotten Kingdom during the Age of Gods. There might be some connection between the "Crown" and the Forgotten Kingdom.

…

While Luo Xiu was thinking, he took the "piece of King Isol's crown" back into his arms.

Obviously, existing knowledge and intelligence alone are not enough to discover anything...

But this could be a target for future exploration.

Luo Xiu was thinking in his mind as he led Intis and Fenrir back along the original path.

They came to the portal they came from, and Luo Xiu reached out to touch it.

There was a flash of light and shadow, and several figures disappeared from the underground mausoleum.

…

When he returned to the familiar Chenxi Town, Luo Xiu immediately inspected the boulder that served as the entrance to the seal.

The boulder has completely cracked, and the ancient inscriptions carved on it have also disappeared.

Ritual formations, spiritual surges...these external objects as "seals" have not left even a trace.

This means that unless they know this place in advance, it is impossible for anyone to enter the seal of the "Immortal Rider" Greville.

After confirming that the seal had been completely destroyed, Luo Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It is only at this moment that the biggest hidden danger of Chenxi Town's destruction has been completely resolved.

…

Late afternoon.

Dawn Town, Glorious Church.

After Priest Ivan led the believers to complete the praise in the morning, he closed the door of the church, took two bottles of wine by himself, and went to the side hall of the church to drink alone.

When Luo Xiu returned to the church and came to the side hall, he saw the already drunk Ivan at a glance.

There were two candles burning in the side hall. The wine cup on the ancient wooden table had been knocked over at some point, and the sweet wine flowed all over the table, and was still falling on the ground drop by drop.

Luo Xiu then went to Yiwen's room, took out his usual bedding, then went to the side hall and covered Yiwen with a quilt.

Then, he picked up a dry rag and gently wiped the poured wine.

Maybe it was the sound of footsteps or the sound of wiping that was too loud. Ivan blew his nose and woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw a familiar but vague figure, leaning over to wipe the table.

"Ah...it's you, Luo Xiu, you're back."

Ivan rubbed his eyes and let out a long belch. Feeling a little more awake, he asked Luo Xiu with a smile:

"What are your plans next..." Ivan said in a relaxed tone, "I mean, when are you going to set off to report to the Sina City branch church?"

"Tomorrow." Luo Xiu replied briefly.

"Well, that will be soon..."

Ivan nodded and suddenly smiled bitterly, "If you leave, I will be bored alone..."

Boring... Luo Xiu recalled the previous scene of watching Ivan among the flowers, and just smiled and shook his head and said: "You can come to Sina City to find me."

"Haha, if there is a chance." Ivan nodded and said thoughtfully, "Maybe after you leave, I will accept another student..."

"That's best." Luo Xiu smiled and said, "If you drink less, maybe the Holy Court will consider transferring you to the Sina City Church."

"Impossible," Ivan shook his head, "I mean quit drinking..."

"Then you are really..." Luo Xiu smiled and said, "It's hopeless."

"..."

The two of them chatted until midnight.

"It's time for me to pack my bags, teacher."

Luo Xiu stood up, bowed slightly to Ivan and said, "It's time for you to rest too."

"……good."

Luo Xiu helped Yi Wen stand up. Suddenly, Yi Wen seemed to have remembered something and said to Luo Xiu:

"Wait for me, I'll give you something."

"What?" Luo Xiu was confused, watching Ivan stagger back to his room, and then there was a sound of rummaging.

After a while, Ivan walked out of the room, holding a white short-spelling staff in his hand.

"This is for you." Ivan handed the magic staff to Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu reached out and took it.

It was a magic staff made of white oak. The body of the staff had been "engraved" in a very complex manner. The inscription symbolizing "brilliance" shone with golden lines and was vaguely visible on the surface of the magic staff.

As Luo Xiu took over the magic staff, his panel simultaneously refreshed the information about the magic staff.

【……】

White oak staff... Luo Xiu nodded, this is a good thing.

"Thank you, teacher." Luo Xiu expressed his sincere thanks to Ivan, "I will make good use of it."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you something..." Ivan nodded, then remembered something and said to Luo Xiu.

"What?" Luo Xiu was stunned.

"In the morning, there was a believer named Alerdine..." Ivan said slowly.

"He is a merchant who leads a caravan named "Golden Iris", and the next stop of his caravan is to go to Sina City."

Ivan took a sip of his wine and continued: "He told me that his caravan was often robbed by horse bandits, so he needed to hire extraordinary beings as his guards."

"I have contacted him for you. You can ride on his caravan as a guard as a second-order 'consecrated priest'."

"This can save a lot of travel expenses and receive a lot of employment compensation..."

"..."

"...I understand." Luo Xiu nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, teacher."

…

Early the next morning.

More than ten carriages from the Golden Iris caravan stopped at the door of the church early.

A bearded man wearing rugged desert folk costumes with strings of gold and silver ornaments hanging around his neck stepped out of a gorgeously decorated carriage in the middle.

He is the leader of the caravan.

——The caravan leader of "Golden Iris", Alerdine.
