Chapter 256 The End of the Investigation
...The body is big and the back is weak, and the body is big and the door is weak.
Huge and bulky monsters like the "Three-Headed Demonic Cow" Epiros always have similar weaknesses no matter which game they are placed in in their previous lives... Luo Xiu, who was a senior soul player in his previous life, was thinking about this. He then walked towards the drop of Epiros.
A piece of deep purple magic crystal, which is the crystal core of Epiros as a "natural disaster" level monster.
In addition, a "Horn of Epiros" was also dropped, which is also an extremely rare material and can be used to forge "legendary" level weapons or equipment.
These are both good things, but it's a pity that the former needs to be used for other things in advance...
Luo Xiu leaned over to pick them up and put them into his storage bracelet. After preparing to go out, hand over the "Horn of Epiros" to Mir for forging.
He should also renovate his equipment to be able to adapt to the strength of his upcoming "fifth destiny".
After that, Luo Xiu said to his holy judges:
"Anthony, and Pamier, you lead the Holy Judges to search to see if there are any remaining hyena monsters here. I need to stay here for a while to deal with this seal."
"Yes." Anthony and Palmier responded at the same time, and they immediately dispersed in two directions, leading the Holy Inquisitors to conduct a carpet search.
After sending all the Holy Judges away, Luo Xiu walked to the place where the "Three Demonic Cows" Epiros had disintegrated, and leaned over to observe the exposed "big seal".
It was a seal formed by numerous "chain"-like loops of lines, which were shining with a bright or dark crimson luster.
Many "chains" have been broken, and the deep breath pours out from the cracks in the seal. The source is the source river from the "abyss" at the other end.
Luo Xiu stared at the broken seal in front of him, thoughtfully in his heart.
He knew that the "Seven Abyss" was not connected to the real world in a real physical sense, and that the "Great Seal" was equivalent to blocking the spiritual connection between the abyss and the real world, making it impossible for the two to transmit any information in any way, and between the real world and the real world. Complete isolation is formed between the "seven abyss".
Now that the "Great Seal" has become loose, this phenomenon may not only happen here... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
While thinking about this, he also vaguely understood another thing.
...He can summon the "Shadow Raven" Wu Ye and the "Ember Wolf King" Fenrir from the abyss. This is essentially a "smuggling" from the abyss to the real world, and there is a high probability that it is also influenced by The impact of the loosening of the big seal.
For a moment, Luo Xiu was not sure whether this was a bad thing or a good thing for him. He could only temporarily judge that it was a situation that "can be exploited".
Luo Xiu thought about this in a divergent manner.
And the "ancient seal" like the one he was in at this time is most likely one of the "tunnels" that can connect the abyss to the real world.
After "peeping" at the exposed seal for a while, and first confirming that there would be no more monsters like the "Three-Headed Demon Bull" Epiros emerging from the broken seal, Luo Xiu stood up and began to explore the surroundings. stand up.
Monster corpses are everywhere around, and most of the traces of the original "ancient seal" have been wiped out, but some traces can still be found.
In the deepest part of the cave, on the broken stone tablet whose surface has been eroded away by the monster's blood, there are still traces of seal carvings.
Luo Xiu stepped forward and gently touched the surface of the broken stone tablet, and his panel immediately displayed the content on the tablet.
【——Hermoro Kingdom·Exotic Immortal Master·De Oliveira】
[——I am willing to dedicate myself to the supreme ‘Apocalypse’ and become a heroic spirit to guard this place to prevent the division between black and white]
"..."
In other words, this place was the ancient seal of De Oliveira, the national advisor of a certain country in the "age of gods".
And he is also a believer in the "Ring of Apocalypse", or "Balance".
"Exotic Immortality Master" De Oliveira is considered one of the "creators" of the Great Seal. From the brief content on the inscription, Luo Xiu already understood what his final outcome would be.
——De Oliveira dedicated his body and soul to the "Ring of Apocalypse", and he eventually became part of the Great Seal.
But now except for this stone tablet, there is no trace of his existence in the world. Luo Xiu couldn't even find his corpse - he was promoted from a transcendent person to a "guardian spirit". After death, he would return to spirituality and dissipate. The "spiritual sea" was his final destination.
"..." Thinking of this, Luo Xiu's palms emitted a faint golden glow, and he gently stroked the stone tablet.
The bloodstains on it were washed away and dissipated the moment they came into contact with the light. The background of the stone tablet was revealed, and there was a clear separation from the bloodstains around it.
After cleaning up the blood stains on the surface of the tablet with the words written on it, the light emanating from Luo Xiu's palm gradually faded away. He stood up, turned to the location where the seal was originally broken, and left step by step.
This can be regarded as a tribute to this "Exotic Immortality Master" de Oliveira, who has spanned tens of millions of years.
Afterwards, Luo Xiu came to the broken place of the great seal and took out the deep amethyst core of the former "Three Demonic Cows" Epiros from the bracelet.
He gathered the spirituality in his palm and instilled it into the crystal core of Epiros, causing it to emit a strange deep purple luster.
But the luster quickly faded, and the pure white light of "brilliance" replaced it, and a holy color burst out from this deep purple magic crystal.
After completing this step, Luo Xiu placed the Epiros crystal core on the ground and meditated on the relevant technical knowledge in his mind.
——That was the knowledge about the "Great Sun Golden Barrier" that Bishop Fabian entrusted to impart to him in a letter!
That can be either a "boundary" or a "seal".
Although Luo Xiu does not know the knowledge of the ancient [Balance] skill of the Great Seal, but since it is to repair the broken seal, the [Glory] skill "Great Sun Golden Barrier" can also do something similar to a certain extent. things.
This technique requires materials that are strong enough to serve as spiritual containers and media, and the "Epiros Crystal Core" is just right.
…
After completing everything before, Luo Xiu took out the magic staff from the bracelet and instilled the spirituality of [Glory] into the magic staff again.
After that, he used the magic staff as an extension of his right hand and leaned over to "engrav" the formation pattern of the barrier on the ground.
After completing the inscription according to a series of complicated processes such as three outer circles, three inner circles, overlapping of positive and negative triangles, Luo Xiu had some beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.
He checked that the inscription was correct one last time, put away his magic staff, and came to the center of the Yaojin Formation.
Then, he raised his hands, gently placed a right triangle on his chest, and prayed in a low voice:
"——I pray here for a moment of sunshine."
"——I pray that the wall of radiance will be lowered to protect all believers."
"——I pray that the wall of brilliance will be lowered to block all evil."
"——I pray again for a moment of sunshine."
"..."
After reciting the prayer seven times in a row, the formation patterns on the circle formation at Luo Xiu's feet suddenly lit up with a golden light.
The light spreads out layer by layer from the inner ring to the outer ring, from shallow to deep, spreading around like ripples of water.
The deep amethyst core of Epiros placed in the center of the circular array also disappeared as if melted, and the spirituality of "dark eclipse" and "holy light" intertwined and mixed within it was evenly dispersed. "Smeared" on every line of the barrier formation. Gradually, the small broken parts of the seal were "sewed up" by the golden light curtain, and the largest broken part, where Epiros had emerged half of his body, was slowly covered with a thin layer of thin curtain, visible to the naked eye. "heal".
After that, Luo Xiu stepped out of the range of the Yaojin Seal, waiting for the seal to be completely repaired and reinforced.
…
This process lasted for nearly half an hour, and it was not until the last bit of scattered light became stable that the repair of the large seal was truly completed.
At this point, if there is no existence that is much stronger than Luo Shujia's "Three Demonic Cows" Epiros to try to break the seal from the outside, there is almost no risk of breaking the seal again.
And to do such a thing, it must be at least the sixth level of destiny... Luo Xiu thought about this.
The entire continent of Fanor still does not understand the "Seven Abyss", and Luo Xiu led the Holy Inquisitors to investigate the matter, which is a secret shared by the church, the side court and the Fangbeiyuan. People who can reach such a level, There is no incentive to do so.
After completing the repair of the seal, Luo Xiu found a flat rock, cleaned up the blood stains on it, and sat on it to wait for the other Holy Judges to return.
…
Ten minutes later, Anthony and Pamier led the Holy Judges one after another back to the cave where the "Great Sacrifice" Luo Xiu was.
"I have eliminated eighty-six hyena monsters here, and no traces of the remaining monsters have been found." Anthony reported to Luo Xiuhui.
"...I have seventy-seven here." Pamier said concisely.
This tunnel, the source of the "blood corpse hyenas", has been completely cleared of monsters hiding in it, and the threat to the defense of Red Maple City has been greatly reduced.
There may still be a handful of blood corpse hyenas hiding in other crevices, but having lost their leader, they will first devour each other, consuming most of the surviving groups themselves.
Even if Gu is raised in the end and a much more powerful individual is produced compared to the same kind, it is limited by the limitations of their race itself - the low-level 'Blood Corpse Hyena' group, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot break through the shackles of the race.
Unless they can complete "racial sublimation" like Fenrir and Wuye, even the most powerful individuals among them can only reach the level of "distorted", that is, "triple destiny" extraordinary beings. The threat to Red Maple City's security has been minimal.
Now that things are done, it’s time for the knights in the side court to take over the finishing work...
Luo Xiu was thinking about this, and he immediately led the Holy Judges out of the tunnel and back to the ground.
After briefly explaining the following situation to the guard knights on duty and instructing them to take over the finishing work, Luo Xiu immediately received respectful praise and thanks from the knights.
"There are actually "natural disaster" monsters there, my supreme God... Thank you, Lord Luo Xiu of the "Great Sacrifice". You and the Holy Judges of the church have helped us eliminate this huge hidden danger."
"I will arrange the following matters as soon as possible. Please rest assured, Lord Luo Xiu. I will also send someone to inform Lord Baines of these matters as soon as possible and ask the 'Bianting' to send more people."
"Thank you again, Lord Luo Xiu...Both I and 'Bian Ting' are sincerely grateful for your help."
"..."
The knight thanked him so much, and Luo Xiu just responded to him with a few words in a gentle manner, and then led the Holy Inquisitors back to Red Maple City and the church.
…
late at night.
After thoroughly completing the investigation of the coniferous forest outside Red Maple City, Luo Xiu and the Holy Inquisitors returned to the church and made their final farewell in the inner courtyard.
Everyone returned to their respective homes to try to catch the tail of the little sleep time left.
Luo Xiu also returned to his high priest's residence. After changing some of his stained clothes and doing a simple wash, he also lay down on the bed.
Before going to bed, he opened his mailbox panel and glanced at the new content.
The reward for killing "Three Demonic Cows" Epiros has appeared on it, but Luo Xiu is not in a hurry to receive it. Instead, he is preparing to receive all the rewards at the same time after completing the hidden mission [Seal Hidden in the Forest]. All settled in one go.
After confirming the mailbox panel, he immediately closed the panel, and sleepiness came over him like a tide.
Soon, Luo Xiu fell into sleep, catching up on his sleep before the dawn came.
…
early morning.
After waking up from his sleep, Luo Xiu put on a new high priest's robe and walked out of the high priest's residence.
He first went to the Holy Office to handle the day's affairs, and then prepared to leave the church and go to the Monument Court to complete the delivery of the previous commission to "Acting Dean" Alfan.
Anthony and Pamier were both busy with matters at the Holy Inquisition, so Luo Xiu took the guiding priest Colum with him and asked him to visit the Tablet Monument with him.
…
Red Maple City, Fangbeiyuan.
Luo Xiu went straight into the Fangbei Courtyard, and after explaining his purpose to the scholar on duty, he was quickly introduced.
"Lord Alfan, you have been in the Tower of Knowledge these days." The guiding scholar said to Luo Xiu, "Dear guest, if Lord Alfan knows your purpose of coming, he will definitely be happy."
This time, Luo Xiu didn't talk much with the scholar he was guiding. He quickly came to the Tower of General Knowledge by a familiar route.
The scholar resigned to Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu took Column directly into the interior of the tower and directly went up to the third floor of the tower.
The last thick door, rolling with a sluggish sound, slowly opened to both sides in front of Luo Xiu.
The sound of "——Puff, Puff" flooded into Luo Xiu's ears just like the last time he came here.
Irfan is still persisting in his previous research... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
However, the "blood corpse hyena" group of abyssal beasts should not appear in a certain period of time. Irfan's research may only fill some academic gaps, but it does not have any practical significance...
While thinking about this, Luo Xiu also arrived at the door of the room where Alfan was.
Irfan, who entered Luo Xiu's field of vision, was still covered in blood as before. He was sharpening his knife on a bloody hyena. He was so focused on his research that he didn't seem to notice the visitor.
It wasn't until Luo Xiu deliberately increased the sound of footsteps that Irfan noticed and raised his head and took a look.
When he saw it was Luo Xiu, a surprised expression appeared on Irfan's face.
"Greetings to you, Lord Irfan."
Luo Xiu nodded and saluted Irfan, and then said:
"I have brought you what you want."
