Chapter 328 After the Disaster
"I understand." The weak expression on Luo Xiu's face faded slightly and he said, "I will take a short rest and then go look for our comrades."
After Luo Xiu finished speaking, "Glory Knight" Olivia nodded, then turned around and jumped into the deep chasm not far away.
Luo Xiu then sat down on the relatively smooth stone surface, breathed a long sigh of relief, and at the same time prayed for the holy healing spell.
After applying several healing spells to himself to get himself out of the "severely injured" state and into a moderately injured state, Luo Xiu opened the panel again and conducted a more detailed examination of himself.
In the panel, the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus had died in the previous explosion.
But due to its racial characteristics of "glow beast", it will not really die. It just needs a certain amount of time for resurrection and some sacrifices for resurrection summons.
This is also the reason why Luo Xiu recalled Tatiya, Fenrir and Wuye in advance, but did not recall Pegasus... It is one thing to ride it to run faster and suffer less damage; The reason why Luo Xiu is relieved is that it will not really die.
The first time Pegasus died, it took three days to resurrect him, and there was also a sacred material of "epic" quality as a sacrifice. These were all small problems... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
This should be considered a work-related injury in the Holy Court. After he returns to the main church and reports to Archbishop Sid, he can ask the archbishop to reimburse him...
While Luo Xiu was planning this, he then moved the panel down to his [Status] column.
He always felt that the power of the previous explosion was unusual, and when the "polymer golem" exploded, he seemed to have been hit by a scarlet ray.
In addition to the physical injuries, something seemed to have invaded his mind... His brain was throbbing faintly at this time, like a worm squirming inside, sucking at his brain.
Moving to the [Status] column, he saw the cause of his mental discomfort——
[Taboo infection·Deep ignorance (cannot be purified, 173h, 36min)], [Deep ignorance (abnormal deepening, 23h, 48min)], [Deep ignorance (abnormal deepening, 16h, 22min)]...
A halo of wisdom! .jpg
As expected, something dirty appeared in his [Status] panel. It might be the explosion of forbidden knowledge hidden in the explosion, or it might be the forbidden infection hidden in the scarlet ray of the polymer golem.
[Taboo Infestation·Deep Obscuration], this is an abnormal state that cannot be purified. Its effect is to reduce the "wisdom" attribute of the owner of this state by 20%, and there is a certain probability of deepening it every 1 minute, which is the owner of the state. Added a new [Deep Obfuscation] state with random duration.
Luo Xiu knew that the "Hidden Omniscient" did have similar attack methods, which was to "stuff" taboo knowledge directly into the brains of normal people in some way, so as to achieve the purpose of making them insane, in the spirit and even the soul. weaken the other side.
At worst, it can disgust the other person for a while. In Luo Xiu's mind, it is very similar to the experiment he did in the early days - directly using the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" to dirty people's eyes.
Luo Xiu didn't know how long he had been unconscious in the explosion... He now saw that he had three abnormal states of [Deep Ignorance]. Under the reduction of the "Resistance" attribute, his "Wisdom" attribute was also reduced due to this. The three abnormal statuses have been reduced by about 20%.
He did feel that his thinking was obviously sluggish, and this state was likely to deepen every minute.
"..." This time, Luo Xiu experienced firsthand the feeling of being contaminated by "taboos".
He then raised his arm, and a bright golden holy seal light pattern appeared on the back of his hand, and the light pattern of the [Divine Annunciation Holy Seal] flashed rapidly in it.
Luo Xiu then put the back of his hand against his forehead, and the Holy Seal of [God's Report] was completely targeted at himself!
The outline of his body was suddenly coated with a layer of bright golden light, and the pure white "angel" phantom quickly condensed behind him. He held a white rattle and shook it slightly above his head.
He looked at Luo Xiu with pity, and uttered an ancient divine message that did not belong to humans:
"——You will be baptized!"
After the archangel announced the [divine announcement], his figure slowly disappeared, but the light surrounding Luo Xiu's body did not fade away, but became more intense.
He felt warm - as if he were in pure white fire, but he didn't feel hot.
In a daze, the creeping feeling in his mind gradually disappeared. What was reflected in the panel was that the colors of the three "deep ignorance" abnormal state entries gradually faded and finally dissipated.
Luo Xiu felt that his mind had become much clearer as a result, and he had returned to his original normal state.
And the [divine warning] has not disappeared yet, and is still acting on Luo Xiu——
In addition to the three states of [deep ignorance], he also has another non-[brilliant] buff state at this time.
It was the status "Mark of Dominance" that came from the specialty "Domination of All Spirits". It was originally imposed on Wu Ye, but it gradually dissipated with the effect of [Divine Annunciation].
For Luo Xiu, this is even a side effect of the [Divine Admonition] Seal imposed on himself... but it's okay. This Seal of Authority only locks the status bar for one hour, and then he can add new seals to them. .
……
After purifying his hidden abnormal state, Luo Xiu stood up from the ruins and dusted himself off.
Olivia, the "Glory Knight" who had been in contact with him before, had gone down to the depths of the ruins, so Luo Xiu fulfilled his previous agreement and went deep to find his "comrades".
The originally secret black crystal factory has now been blown to the ground.
Amid the thick smoke, all that was left of the former black crystal factory was a mess. The dome used for cover and concealment no longer exists. Among the ruins of the wall, the prototypes of the demon dolls, various machines and alchemy vessels are now just fragments and debris scattered on the ground.
When he came to the ruins of the outlying factory, Luo Xiu saw the broken limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere, as well as the unbearable bright red smeared on the ruins——
Those were the "slave workers" who worked in the peripheral factories before. The "spiritual vision" did not capture the color of any living creatures, and most of them were completely dead.
The surrounding air was filled with the smell of sulfur and burning. Luo Xiu followed the location in his memory and went down to the deepest place. He saw Krul, another "Glory Knight" who was searching from a distance.
Next to Krul, on a relatively smooth broken stone surface, the messy "Glory Knights" Granbaatar and Harder were leaning there, breathing heavily.
Their bodies were also covered in blood, but they seemed to be in similar condition to Luo Xiu before. At this time, they had taken the healing potion prepared with holy water to stop the deterioration of their injuries.
They also saw Luo Xiu from a distance, with expressions of surprise and relief on their faces. Luo Xiu walked towards them, and Gulambaatar waved to him.
"You're okay, Luo Xiu, that's great...ahem."
Gulambaatar greeted Luo Xiu, then coughed twice, coughing up a mass of black pus and blood.
According to Luo Xiu's panel detection on him, he was indeed seriously injured...but he was a relatively minor type of serious injury, and there was no risk of further deterioration.
And his [Status] column also has the status abnormality of [Forbidden Infestation·Deep Obscuration], but it has not deepened into a new [Deep Obscuration]. This is due to the higher "resistance" of Columbator itself. .
"I'm fine...you should rest first. Where are Richchester, Evans and Adele?"
Luo Xiu squatted down and applied a healing spell to Gulambaatar, making his pale complexion slightly rosier.
"Evans and Adele should be fine...Olivia is looking for them."
Hard, the "Glory Knight" next to Gulambaatar, responded to Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu looked up and saw that his condition was slightly better than Gulambaatar.
Luo Xiu also pinched a healing spell and gave it to him. Hader nodded and expressed his gratitude, then frowned and said:
"...The most dangerous person now is Bishop Richchester."
"He was closest to the center of the explosion and the most vulnerable among us...I am very worried about him."
"I'll go find him." Luo Xiu nodded and responded.
"Then I and you will split up." Krul looked at Luo Xiu and said, "I will go to the east to search, and you will go to the west, please."
The west side of the ruins... that is exactly the direction where the "Shelter of Sky Lake" gathers to protect the gravel tribe dwarves... Luo Xiu thought, he saw Krul stood up, stepped on the broken stones of the ruins, and headed towards the ruins to the east Go deep.
After settling down Columbator and Harder, Luo Xiu also stood up and searched deeply toward the west side of the factory ruins.
Along the way, he opened his "spiritual vision" and tried to find the spiritual color that belonged to Richester, but he had not yet found any trace of Richester. He had already arrived at the place where the "Gravel" dwarves had been settled. place.
The hidden room, the door and half of the building were completely destroyed by the explosion, leaving only the other half crumbling among the ruins of the walls, with short, fat and thin dwarfs lying in disorder inside.
Thanks to the protection of the "Shelter of Sky Lake" barrier, the dwarves of the "Gravel" tribe have not been too seriously affected. Except for the four dwarves who only have two lives, they are too fragile and are located in a barrier. Except for the fact that they unfortunately died in the explosion, the other thirty-nine dwarves all survived the explosion.
It's just that they have more or less injuries on their bodies, and their consciousness is even more blurred due to [Taboo Infection]. Even if such a horrific disaster happened before, they seem to be unaware of it, and they still look at it with dull eyes. Staring at the air longingly.
Luo Xiu reunited them and used "Group Healing" on them to slightly stabilize their injuries. He temporarily placed them in the current room and continued to search for the whereabouts of "Enlightener" Richester.
……
It wasn't until twenty minutes passed that Luo Xiu and the "Glory Knights" Olivia and Krul who were responsible for the search passed each other several times and exchanged the progress of the search. Only then did they find the missing person in the deepest and most remote corner. The dying Ratchester.
The bishop of "Qi Hui", who was closest to the center of the explosion at the time, was directly blasted a hundred meters away, and his waist and abdomen were pierced by a thick and sharp steel bar.
The bishop's robe on his body was already riddled with holes, and most of the area was stained with turbid blood. And he had already lost consciousness, and his face had a sickly luster like gold paper. Every unconscious breath was accompanied by a wisp of black blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth.
"The Enlightener" Richchester, he was the one who was truly on the verge of death... Luo Xiu and Olivia who discovered him did not dare to neglect and treated him urgently.
Olivia is a radiant knight with the "Great Blessing of Glory" as her second profession. Together with Luo Xiu, he cast several holy healing spells on Richard and saved him from dying. Pulled away from the situation.
But Ratchester's condition is still not optimistic - he is most affected by [Taboo Infestation], and the deepening [Deep Ignorance] has been superimposed eight times, and Ratchester's "resistance" is not high either. , his "wisdom" attribute has been almost wiped out by 80%.
If this [taboo infection] is allowed to deepen, when Richester's "wisdom" is completely wiped out, he will become a real "mentally retarded", unable to be saved, and even if he is cured, he will drool... …
But Luo Xiu has already used the Holy Seal of [God's Admonition] for himself. To completely purify Richester of the [Forbidden Infection], he can only send him back to the main church first and let the archbishop or other holders The bishops of [Divine Admonition Seal] treated him.
Luo Xiu then pinched the "purifying" light group, first purifying three layers of [Deep Obfuscation] from Richester's body, and first stabilizing his condition.
Afterwards, Olivia supported him and went to meet up with Granbaatar and Hader. The "Glory Knights" who were injured a lot then escorted Richester to the direction of the main church. Return.
Luo Xiu went to find "Glory Knight" Krul, and found one seriously injured and one lightly injured Adele and Evans. After giving them emergency and simple treatment, Yu Ke Ruel escorted them first and left the ruins of the battlefield first.
Before leaving, Krul confessed to Luo Xiu:
"Please, Luo Xiu. I have to take them back first. Please find Raymond and help him escort the 'Hidden Elder' Babron back."
Escorting Babelun... Luo Xiu recalled that when he first woke up, Olivia of the "Glory Knight" once told him that "Hidden Elder" Babelun had been killed by Raymond. Imprisonment】......
But his condition was quite bad at that time, so he didn't think much about it. Now Krul mentioned Bablon's name again, Luo Xiu nodded slightly, agreed to him and said:
"I understand, I will meet Bishop Raymond, you can rest assured."
Since Krul said this, then Barberon is probably still alive. I can just confirm his situation and recover "Said's Notes" from him...
After Luo Xiu agreed, Krul nodded.
Afterwards, under Luo Xiu's gaze, Krul turned around, supported Adele with his left hand and Evans with his right hand, and led them limping back towards the main church.
