Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Hidden task [Liberation from Ignorance] - After Mir made a request to Luo Xiu, the panel really triggered the next round of tasks!

And the final reward of this round of tasks is the two "Ancient Dragon Secrets"!

[Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] - Luo Xiu, who has the memory of his previous life, knows that they will be the secret treasures that can awaken the ancient dragon "Quesanx" in the future.

And it is still about three months since the "Quesanx Disaster" in the previous life.

The "Ignorance Seal" in the body of the "Gravel" dwarves - this rune seal that cannot be purified or removed can only be forcibly purified by the Level II authority [God's Holy Seal], and this authority seal can only be used once a day, that is to say, it will take at least thirty-nine days for all the "Gravel" dwarves to return to normal.

Excluding the number of times the [Divine Seal] was used when necessary, there should be more than enough time to purify the "Ignorance Seal" in the bodies of the thirty-nine "Gravel" people before the disaster caused by the ancient dragon Quesanx actually occurred...

"Of course, Mir, my friend."

Looking at Mir's sincere eyes, Luo Xiu nodded and said:

"This is also my original plan. Ordinary "purification" cannot cure your people, but I have other ways."

As he spoke, Luo Xiu raised his arm, and the back of his hand flashed with golden light patterns. He gently pressed his palm on the top of a "Gravel" dwarf's head, and uttered a sacred Sanskrit prayer-

The outline of his body was soon covered with a faint golden light, and the figure of an "archangel" had already condensed behind him!

He held a white bell in his hand, and with his golden eyes he looked at the ignorant dwarf in front of him with pity. Then he slowly flew to his head, rang the holy bell, and uttered an ancient divine proclamation that did not belong to humans:

"——You will be baptized!"

"..."

At the moment when the archangel's divine proclamation fell.

It was visible to the naked eye that the dwarf who received the divine proclamation had a painful expression on his face, raised his hands suddenly, and pressed his head tightly!

"——Hum...Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

He screamed and wailed, and the exposed skin on his forehead and neck also showed erosion lines that were sometimes dark blue and sometimes dark green. That was a symbol of the full activation of the [Ignorance Seal] rune!

And the dark blue and dark green lines were detached from the dwarf's skin in a strange way that was visible to the naked eye, isolated in mid-air, and gradually broken and dissolved in the air!

As Luo Xiu detected the dwarf in front of him, the abnormal status of [Ignorance Seal (cannot be purified, cannot be removed)] in his status bar gradually faded and faded as the lines dissipated, and finally disappeared!

...

Until the lines on the dwarf's body completely disappeared, his originally empty and pale eyes finally had a little more wisdom.

He seemed to be a little confused about the situation in front of him. He just looked at Luo Xiu and then at the dwarf Mir beside Luo Xiu. He felt familiar and strange.

"Who am I..."

"Where am I..."

He murmured like this, and his reason quickly returned to his soul at the same time, making him finally recognize who the dwarf he was "familiar with" was -

"You are... Mir?"

"Why are you here... No... Why do I see you..."

"..."

"It's me, Karad..." Mir nodded.

He tried his best to restrain himself and not let the surging excitement and excitement in his heart swallow him up. He looked at Karad Sand, who was still confused and vague about his situation, and began to tell him about his previous experience in the most tactful tone possible.

During this process, Luo Xiu just remained on the sidelines and waited calmly.

He knew that both Mir and Karad needed time to adapt - and this was all he could do now.

The once-a-day [Divine Announcement Seal] had been used up, and if the second "Gravel" dwarf was to recover his spiritual awareness, he could only wait until tomorrow.

...

About five minutes passed.

As Mir told the story, the dwarf "Karad Sand" was first confused, then distressed and sad, and finally realized and confused.

"That's true... Indeed..."

Although Mir's words about the experience of their "Gravel" tribe before being enslaved to the "Black Crystal Factory" were all guesses, Karad, as the first person involved, finally confirmed Mir's guess.

When he learned that it was the bishop of Red Maple City, ‘Luo Xiu Carlos’, the young bishop in front of him, who rescued them, Karad cast a grateful look at Luo Xiu.

After slightly adapting to the feeling of “resurrection from the dead”, Karad said:

“I don’t remember what happened before, but what you said…about the things before I lost my memory…”

“That memory is indeed vivid. Under the leadership of the Great Patriarch and the Second Patriarch, we, the tribesmen who believe in [wisdom], did join the Sage’s Tower at the beginning and prepare to seek an opportunity to go to the Golden Kingdom.”

Karad said:

“I still remember…I remember…there were traitors of the cult in that ‘Sage’s Tower’…”

“They regarded us as rare goods to live with, and lured most of our tribesmen to the wild under the pretext of a mission.”

"Then... we encountered a shameful ambush. The big clan leader, the second clan leader, and the third clan leader were all killed, and I... I finally lost consciousness..."

"This is all I know. I don't know...where should I go from now on..."

"..."

"You can stay, Kalad."

When Kalad said that, Mir patted him on the shoulder and said:

"The three patriarchs are gone, and you have no new place to go, so why not stay here. Kalad, I need you, if you don't mind that I am an 'exile'."

"That's what this 'bishop' meant, right?"

As he said that, Mir looked at Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu just nodded slightly.

"..."

"Of course I don't, why would I mind this?"

Kalad sighed and said:

"I don't have anywhere to go, and so do the other tribesmen."

"I will stay, Mir. As long as you can use my words."

"..."

…

Afterwards, Mir and Kalad chatted a lot more.

Kalad agreed to Mir's invitation and was willing to stay in his forging manor and run the industry with Mir.

At the same time, Kalad and Mir asked Luo Xiu to continue treating other "Gravel" tribesmen, but Luo Xiu declined politely and truthfully stated that the [Saint Seal of God's Admonition] could only be used once a day. inform.

But they were not discouraged, but still had hope. They reached an agreement with Luo Xiu to rescue one compatriot one day with the [Divine Admonition Seal], and then got busy, saving others who had not yet been rescued and were still trapped in [ The compatriots of the "Ignorance Stamp" were arranged.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu no longer delayed, and after saying goodbye to them, he returned to the carriage with the other clergymen, left the forging manor, and drove in the direction of the church.

…

It's close to noon.

In the Red Maple City Church, several clergymen traveling with Luo Xiu had arrived in advance and informed other clergymen of the church that "Bishop" Luo Xiu had returned.

The return of "Bishop" Rossio Carlos immediately spread to every corner of the church. At this time, the bishop's "holy deacon" Hubert was also in the church. He immediately organized the whole church's "threefold destiny" and above Priests, go to the main entrance of the church and wait.

And the carriage carrying "Bishop" Luo Xiu also drove into the street after a short wait and entered the sight of all the clergymen waiting to greet them——

"The Bishop is back!"

"Luo Xiu... our bishop is back!"

The waiting clergymen were all excited. They watched the carriage approaching before them, and their eyes couldn't help but light up brightly.

Even "Holy Deacon" Hubert felt a little excited - he was indeed very happy. Luo Xiu's return means that he is finally freed from the position of 'acting bishop', and does not need to consider many trivial matters, let alone face the new general over there who is looking for power again and again. trouble!

Until those carriages stopped in front of the church, the clergyman who was driving came to the middle carriage, opened the door curtain of the carriage, and bowed to welcome their "bishop" as he stepped out of the carriage——

The priests who were waiting to greet them all extended their most sincere and respectful greetings to Luo Xiu, while Luo Xiu nodded slightly with a smile on his face and glanced at the priests in front of him.

Hubert stood quietly at the front and nodded slightly to Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu already knew that the people selected by the Holy Deacon to "welcome" were all the outstanding figures of the church, all the priests with [Glory] third-level destiny and above——

Old acquaintances such as Anthony, Pamier, and Mayev are all here, as well as the three "priests" sent by the main church, Fran, Glasa and Howard. They are all well, so Luo Xiu A little relieved.

Among the clergymen of "threefold destiny" and above who came to welcome him, there were fewer familiar faces and more unfamiliar faces.

It seems that the church has undergone some new changes under the operation of Hubert, but in general, the number of clergymen above the "triple destiny" is indeed more than before leaving Red Maple City.

Among them, Luo Xiu also saw a face that surprised him——

That is Connor Rune, who has become the "Sin Purifier"!

He stood just behind Pamie and Mayev. During the time he left Red Maple City, he finally completed his promotion and became a transcendent of the "triple destiny"!

Although he is now considered one of the weakest among the church's "three-fold destiny" priests, he has successfully completed his promotion, which makes Luo Xiu quite happy.

Hubert came to Luo Xiu and said in a relieved tone:

"You are finally back, Luo Xiu..."

"How is it? Did the meeting with the archbishop go well?"

"..."

"It went smoothly." Luo Xiu nodded.

He then walked towards the church, Hubert walking beside him, and the other clergymen following behind them.

While walking into the inner courtyard of the church, Luo Xiu said to Hubert:

"Regarding the 'Black Crystal Factory' that hid the All-Knowing Ones, we have completely destroyed it. Lord Hubert, you no longer need to worry about the threat from there."

"So what's going on here in Red Maple City? Has anything happened?"

"It's no problem." Hubert said:

"You should have heard about it - perhaps because of the news of your departure, a certain executioner in the principality thought there was an opportunity, so he gathered his troops and launched an siege."

"But the result was a bit exaggerated - the new general on the side court, 'Thunder General' Albert, led the Guards Knights to take the initiative and beheaded the executioner in front of the two armies. Almost wiped out all the enemy troops.”

"This made Albert's reputation in Red Maple City rise for a while, and the executioner's head is still hanging on the city gate."

That was the city gate on the side near the border battlefield. Luo Xiu came back from the road leading to the interior of the empire and did not see such a spectacle.

"That's it." Luo Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "It seems that 'Thunder General' Albert is indeed very strong, which is a good thing."

"But that may not be the case for you." Hubert reminded him, "It is completely different from the previous 'Judge' Baines. Albert is too strong. You have just come back, and the general may look for you." Your trouble..."

Looking for trouble with me? Luo Xiu chewed on Hubert's words. He had already thought about this.

As a believer in the [Supreme], and as the chief 'Divine Seal Knight' of the round table of the Songyuan Legal Department, Albert naturally has a strong tendency to control and dominate, and Luo Xiu has long been mentally prepared for this.

"Let's talk about it then." Luo Xiu spread his hands and said to Hubert:

"At least I haven't offended him...well, probably not. If he wants to cause trouble for me, so be it."

"..."

…

While chatting, Luo Xiu and Hubert arrived in front of the bishop's throne.

Luo Xiu dismissed the priests who followed him and said to Hubert:

"I'm really a little tired. Regarding the handover-related matters - I want to rest first, so it's not too late to wait until tomorrow."

"Okay." Hubert nodded, "Since you are back, I will go back to the main church within three days. We all have enough time."

After that, Luo Xiu said goodbye to Hubert. He entered the courtyard of the Bishop's Holy See and went straight to the third floor of the Holy See, returning to his previous residence.

He was indeed a little tired, and his first thought when he returned to the Red Maple City Church was to have a good sleep - it was impossible to work, no matter what, it was impossible to work...

In addition to the handover work, he also has other arrangements for himself.

He returned to the bedroom, changed into his nightgown, lay down on the bed, and closed the barrier - after completing these tasks in one go, Luo Xiu closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

…

Until hours passed.

Time passed from noon to night, and Luo Xiu opened his eyes.

Having regained enough energy, he sat up, closed the door and window, put on the "Black Pattern Mask", raised his arms, and exposed the back of his hands——

The red dragon claw mark on it shone with a frightening light, and as overlapping teleportation circles appeared under his feet, his figure gradually became illusory and transparent.

"It's time..."

While being transported to the Forsaken Royal Court, a dark purple light gradually appeared in Luo Xiu's eyes.

That is the color of the [Abyss], the light of "eclipse"!

He had made all preparations and had no worries at this moment.

——Promoting [Abyss] to the fourth level, he finally waited for the best time!

…
