Chapter 345 Before the Return
The two days since the "Burning" in Gowan Street.
Songyuan City has always been in a state of high tension. It can be seen with the naked eye that the patrols on various streets and the inspection of the entrance and exit of the city's population have been much stricter. There are many shadows lurking under the city. Then it was dug out three feet into the ground.
Of course, since such a disaster broke out in the Loggins mansion where [Supreme] belongs, there are also esoteric organizations trying to use this incident to increase their influence——
For example, named Clandestine organizations such as the "Handband Party", "Black Hawk Brotherhood", "Supreme Red", etc. claimed to be "responsible for this matter" - but in less than a day after claiming responsibility, the bodies of the leaders of these organizations were found. Appearing on the streets, their heads were hung from street light poles.
Only then did they realize that this was not a "little fight" like usual... a certain big shot was really angry, and these insects hiding in the shadows of the city disappeared for a while.
......
After that "observation", Luo Xiu went directly back to the Wolf Wolf Tavern, keeping a low profile and waiting for the incident to pass.
After that, he continued to report to the church once in the morning and evening as usual, in order to dispel possible suspicions from all aspects as much as possible.
In the past two days, a lot of things happened at the main church.
For example, "Saint" Franya has secretly returned to the imperial capital under the arrangement of Archbishop Sid; and the [Supreme] almost never stops sending people to question them, asking them why they did not prevent "Logins Mansion" from being destroyed by heretics. Invasion and so on, but they were all put back by Archbishop Sid and other "holy" clergymen.
However, the matter of [Supreme] has nothing to do with Luo Xiu on the surface. What he cares about more is the elders sent by the "General Academy".
These deans of the church came specifically for the former "Servant of the Sage" Babron. After Luo Xiu and other [Glory] saints completely destroyed the black crystal factory, the chief priest The hospital got the news, and today they finally sent the "elder group" there.
The "Presbyterian Council" of the Archdiocese has negotiated again and again with the "Bishop Council" headed by Archbishop Sid, regarding the transfer of Babylon to the Archdiocese.
In the afternoon after the [Intellectual] elders arrived, Luo Xiu got the news - it was said that the General Academy finally issued 160,000 gold coins, five "Ancient Heritage" scrolls, As well as reimbursement of the cost of treating the injuries of [Glory] saints.
The request from the General Academy is also quite clear and simple - transfer Babylon to the custody of the General Academy, and at the same time transfer all kinds of golems recovered by the church from the Black Crystal Factory, as well as the [intellectual] parts. Scrolls and tomes.
There is also a clause that will be witnessed by Archbishop Sid of the church and the sages of the Archdiocese, and the scrolls and books that record forbidden knowledge collected from the black crystal factory will be burned. Includes "Said's Notes".
Luo Xiu has no objection to this. Destroying "Said's Notes" was originally his plan. Rather, it was the only way to cut off future troubles... What he cared more about was that he, who was the first to destroy the "Black Crystal Factory", could learn from this "negotiation". How much to get.
And this was confirmed that night.
Archbishop Sid's waiter told Luo Xiu when he came to the main church to check in as usual - Archbishop Sid had decided what reward he would give him.
Luo Xiu was able to obtain one-fifth of the 160,000 gold coins and five "ancient inheritance" scrolls paid by the General Academy to the church. Thirty-six thousand gold coins and an "Ancient Heritage" scroll will be given to Luo Xiu when he leaves Songyuan City.
As for the "Ancient Heritage" scroll - Archbishop Sid did not let Luo Xiu participate in the selection this time, but directly selected one of them for him.
That is an ancient inheritance called [Cloud of Wrath], which is an offensive skill that can be released by hand - summoning a high-energy calamity cloud within a certain range, greatly reducing the damage of all targets within it by 80%. Perception, every 1 second, periodically releases a raging thunder chain. A single thunder chain will cause "fire" burning damage of 200%~300% of spell attack, and the damage to the shield will be doubled, lasting 30 seconds.
Luo Xiu has no objection to the ancient inheritance of [Cloud of Wrath] given to him by Archbishop Sid. It is better to say that this skill is quite practical for him, and it is a specialization for the battlefield environment. Killing move.
……
Two days later.
The early morning in Songyuan City was as usual. Except for the fact that there were fewer pedestrians on the street than before, the birds on the branches were still singing happily, and the chilly wind never stopped blowing.
In the Wolfhound Tavern.
On this day, Luo Xiu got up very early.
According to his agreement with Archbishop Sid, he will leave Songyuan City and return to Red Maple City today. He is preparing to go to the church to have a final say with Archbishop Sid and other [Glorious] colleagues. farewell.
After that, in his real itinerary plan - he will first go back to Sina City to visit the old priest and bishop; then go back to Dawn Town to see his mentor, the great priest Ivan... To be honest , Luo Xiu hasn’t seen them for a long time.
Thinking about this, Luo Xiu went to the bathroom, quickly finished washing, returned to the room, put on the sacred robe symbolizing the status of "bishop", and began to wait for the clergy to be ushered in. arrival.
Before leading the clergy to arrive, he had another thing to do——
About the settlement of the kill reward of "Sequlayer" Velino Bakar !
Luo Xiu tried to resolve it before, but failed to get anything good. Now that the cooldown on "Astray Seeker" has expired, he decides to bet on the dog again.
Sacrifice Anthony single! .jpg
After performing a routine evil sacrifice, Luo Xiu opened the reserved settlement interface and activated the reset effect of "Wrong Path Explorer".
There was a flash of light and shadow in front of his eyes, and soon, the new settlement content appeared in front of Luo Xiu——
[Kill the "Rebel Judge" Velino Bakar (lv .41), gain 9830 basic experience points]
["The Rebellious Judge" Velino Bakar (lv.41) is 1 level behind you]
[Leap-level kill! Get 10% extra experience points...]
["Seering Soul" takes effect, get 20% extra experience points]
["Corruption Soul" takes effect, get 30% extra experience points Value]
[Reward settlement, actually gained 15728 experience points! 】
【……】
["The Rebellious Judge" Velino Bakar is a natural disaster-level boss]
[The natural disaster-level boss killing reward is being generated...]
[...]
< br>[Kill reward has been generated]
[Acquire the expertise "Demon of Order (Epic)", free attribute points*10]!
[The Demon of Order (Epic): Order breeds you, but it will eventually destroy you - or if you rebel, you will destroy the order. 】
【Your "Strength" and "Perception" attributes are increased by 18 points, and your "Physical Attack" and "Magic Attack" attributes are increased by an additional 10%. When the target you attack belongs to the [Supreme] destiny, the damage you cause to it is increased by 30%, and the damage you receive from it is also increased by 15%. 】
[…]
“Not bad…” Luo Xiu murmured.
The "epic" quality specialty "Demon of Order" gives a considerable increase in pure numerical value. When attacking enemies in the [Supreme] destiny path, there is an additional damage bonus.
It just needs to bear some negative effects - when attacked by the [Supreme] destiny enemy, the damage received will also be increased by 15%... However, for Luo Xiu, the increase in damage caused is much higher than the negative susceptibility to damage. He was quite able to accept this negative effect.
He then confirmed the result of this settlement. The "epic" quality expertise in the panel was increased by one, and he immediately closed the panel.
Shortly after confirming the settlement results, there was a knock on the door of Luo Xiu's room.
"Come in." Luo Xiu stood up, straightened his robes, and looked at the door.
He did not lock the door, and the person who came immediately opened the door of the room gently. It was Luo Xiu's guidance priest.
That was the "Medium Deacon" Prolet who had guided Luo Xiu before. When he opened the door, he first bowed respectfully to Luo Xiu, and then said humbly:
"I hope I didn’t disturb your rest, Lord Luo Xiu.”
"Archbishop Sid ordered me to pick you up. The chariot is waiting outside the courtyard."
"..." "Okay, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded and said:
"You go down and wait first, Prolet. I'll go later."
Prolet bowed respectfully to Luo Xiu again, and then walked downstairs. His back quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
......
Luo Xiu finally sorted out his clothes, packed all the things he wanted to take away, and walked out of the room.
This is his last day in the hotel.
Luo Xiu then went down to the first floor of the Wolfhound Tavern, and as expected, saw the old knights Isaac and Blueyere——
The two [Supreme] old knights were still in the room just now They were playing war chess inside, but the arrival of a "middle-level deacon" instantly broke their interest. They thought they were teaching... What did the meeting need to investigate? Unexpectedly...
"Knights of the Throne" Isaac and Blueyere, with confused expressions on their faces, looked at the aircraft outside the tavern courtyard [ The glorious chariot and the "medium deacon" driving it, then looked at Luo Xiu, who was wearing bishop's attire.
This was the first time they saw Luo Xiu wearing a "bishop's" robe.
This is also the first time I have seen the “middling deacons” of the church waiting like attendants!
"You...Luo Xiu...you..."
Issac murmured with a stutter, his eyes filled with some kind of disbelief——
The man named "Luo Xiu" The little brother who "repairs", he will actually be...a bishop? !
He had always thought that this cleric brother who lived in the hotel should be the "Holy Judge" of the church, and at the highest level he was just the "priest" of the church...
Luo Xiu Still with that gentle expression on his face, he walked up to Isaac and Blueyere, bowed slightly to them, and said thanks:
"Thank you for taking care of me these days, Mr. Isaac and Mr. Blueyere."
"My mission in Songyuan City has been completed and I will leave."
"Before I leave, I would like to invite you - if you can come to Red Maple City in the future, I will treat you with the highest standards of 'Bishop' I will treat you with the utmost courtesy."
"Mr. Isaac's barbecue is delicious, and Mr. Blueyere... I wish your chess skills will improve by leaps and bounds, and you will beat Mr. Isaac sooner or later. ."
"Well, farewell, two respectable old knights."
"..."
After saying this, Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and shook hands with Isaac and Blueyere.
Then, under the confused and reluctant gazes of Isaac and Blueyere, Luo Xiu turned and left, walking out of the courtyard of the tavern, supported by the "medium deacon" Boarded the chariot.
The cries of the horses rose up one after another, and the sound of the turning of the axle also came. The chariot squeaked and drove away into the distance, and soon disappeared in Yi. In the field of vision of Sac and Blueyere.
……
"He's gone, old friend..."
Issac murmured, and suddenly he turned around and stepped on the stairs, and went up to the third floor.
He saw that the room that originally belonged to Luo Xiu was indeed hidden. The key was hanging on the wall near the door of the room, and there was an exquisite money box on the table.
Isaac opened the box, and a dazzling white light suddenly flashed out from the box. Ten platinum coins were neatly placed there.
“…Ouch.”
Looking at the platinum coins in the box, which were more than ten times more than the room fee, the old knight sighed.
"I clearly promised not to charge money..."
...
Songyuan City, within the main church.
In the sublime hall, Luo Xiu had paid his last audience to Archbishop Sid and said goodbye to the archbishop.
On both sides of the Heart Palace, almost all the [Glory] saints who could be present were present. This final interview and farewell was a grand event. Luo Xiu did not expect that the Archbishop would value him so much...
The archbishop looked at Luo Xiu with a somewhat complicated look - he still didn't want to let Luo Xiu go back, but Luo Xiu's attitude was firm and he couldn't say anything else.
"Okay... Luo Xiu."
The archbishop finally sighed long and said to Luo Xiu under the Heart Hall:
"I have already done this for you. You have prepared your carriage and horses, Luo Xiu”
"When you set off and prepare to return to Red Maple City, the ten priests of the 'Triple Destiny' will go back with you."
"They will assist you and help you on the way. Take care of the dwarves of the 'Gravel' clan on the way."
"There are also a total of 120,000 gold coins and various items. The sacred materials, scrolls and equipment of "rare" and "epic" quality have been loaded onto the truck. They are a holy gift for your achievements and support for the Red Maple City Church."
"Luo Xiu, I hope you will not live up to our expectations of you.”
“…”
"Please rest assured, Archbishop."
Luo Xiu performed a sacrament devoutly and humbly to the Archbishop, responding to his expectations:
"I will not disappoint your expectations, please You testify that the Red Maple City Church will always practice the teachings of [Glory], today and in the future."
...
After that, the archbishop gave Luo Xiu a few final words of advice, The two bishops guided Luo Xiu to leave the Holy Temple.
He finally went to the altar of the church and used it to preside over a sacred ceremony to "resurrect" his "holy beast" Golden Pegasus.
Riding the newborn Pegasus, Luo Xiu arrived outside the main entrance of the church. As expected, the carriages and horses prepared for him by the archbishop and the priests were already waiting here.
He then said his final goodbyes to the two leading bishops, then boarded the carriage, and the six carriages slowly drove towards the end of the street.
……
“Go, Luo Xiu.”
"I will protect you for a moment, and may you be bathed in holy light forever, my colleague."
"Bishop Qihui" Richchester, one of the guiding bishops, paid his final farewell to Luo Xiu from a distance. :
"Go and pursue that sacred cause, Luo Xiu."
"Go and end that sinful and blasphemous war..."
"Hope...we There will be a day when we meet again.”
