Chapter 347 Journey to the Old Land
Thousands of abnormal conditions of [Grey Blood Curse], even if they are forcibly purified with Level II authority [Sacred Seal of Divine Admonition], only 3 to 6 of them can be purified at one time .
The purified [Grey Blood Curse] will soon split and be replenished - this is why even Archbishop Sid feels helpless.
Even for curses that can proliferate on their own, the lower the total number, the faster they will split... Even if Archbishop Sid and the entire Songyuan Territory control Level II authority [divine report] The two bishops of the Holy Seal successively gave Fabian divine advice. It would take at least a year to completely purify the curse on Fabian.
And this is obviously unrealistic... Regardless of the fact that the Holy Seal of Divine Prosecution must be used on other more important occasions, just letting Bishop Fabian tie up at least two bishops for a year will The current dangerous situation in the "Holy Court" is also difficult to do.
What's more, Archbishop Sid doesn't have such a thing as a "panel". He doesn't know the true state of the [Gray Blood Curse] in Archbishop Sid. That archbishop must have also tried to castigate him, but Several [divine warnings] had no effect, so I had to give up the idea in the end.
But Luo Xiu knew it.
The diocese also wants to completely solve the curse on Bishop Fabian, but they are not prepared to use [divine admonishment], but want to use other methods.
——Kill the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice"!
That is the source of the curse. As long as the source is cut off, the [Grey Blood Curse] can be solved once and for all!
They indeed think so. The Holy Court’s pursuit of the “Lord of the Blood Sacrifice” has never stopped, and the clergy of the Sina City Church and even the Songyuan General Church have never given up on killing the “Lord of the Blood Sacrifice”. "Lord" goal.
It’s just that the other party has disappeared since the “Holy War”.
Although the "Blood of Thorns" is still rampant in the Norland Empire, their leader "The Lord of Blood Sacrifice" has never appeared again, as if he has disappeared from the world——
But The "Holy Court" also gradually grasped the specific location of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" from intelligence from all parties.
That was in the Dark Principality, underground in Fafnir City - Luo Xiu, who had the memory of two lifetimes, also knew this, but there was nothing he could do against the Lord of Blood Sacrifice.
Because there was no opportunity to invade "Fafnir City" before, there was no opportunity to enter the "Blood of Thorns" lair and face the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" -
But the situation is different now.
……
“Old Priest…”
Luo Xiu then said to Leonard:
"I want to give it a try. Although it can't free the old bishop from the [Grey Blood Curse], it should be able to relieve some pain."
He looked into Leonard's eyes, and Li A complicated look flashed across Onard's eyes. After thinking about it, he nodded.
“Try it, Luo Xiu.”
Leonard reminded: “If the situation is wrong, stop immediately.”
……
After getting permission from Priest Leonard, Luo Xiu took out the [Holy Grip] and poured as much of the [Glory] spirituality in his body into the scepter.
The scepter in his hand immediately pointed at Fabian, the back of his hand lit up with the golden holy seal light pattern, and he uttered a sacred Sanskrit prayer in his mouth.
The outline of his body was quickly covered with a layer of faint golden light, and the light pattern of the [Divine Admonition Seal] also flashed quickly on the back of his hand, and an "angel" body had condensed behind him. shape!
He held a white rattle in his hand, looked at Fabian with pity in his golden eyes, and then slowly flew to Fabian's head and to the bed where he was. Half empty.
He shook the holy bell at the same time, 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 in Fabian’s body, the most dazzling light quickly emerged, condensed, and lingered. The light became more intense and warmer——
The whole room It was filled with pure and bright light, just like the last time Luo Xiu used the [Divine Admonition Seal]. He felt as if the whole room was placed in pure white fire, but he did not feel hot.
While he was maintaining the panel monitoring of Fabion, he saw at the same time that there were five abnormal conditions of [Grey Blood Curse], which were broken and faded under the wash of light. ——
The holy seal of [God's Annunciation] has taken effect. At the same time, Luo Xiu also used auxiliary holy arts such as "Pure Glow", "Purification Technique", "Healing Technique", "Group Healing" and so on to heal Bishop Fabian's injuries.
Although it is only a drop in the bucket, it can still play a minor role in helping Bishop Fabian die.
"Well..."
"..."
As the sacred brilliance filled the air, visible to the naked eye, the painful expression on Fabien's face eased slightly. Some.
At least——his breathing no longer had a rough sound like sticky phlegm. Leonard, who was observing this from the side, immediately had an expression of surprise on his face.
“You have the authority of the Holy Seal of [God’s Admonition], Luo Xiu…”
Leonard murmured:
“At that time, Archbishop Sid , when I came to treat Bishop Fabian, I also tried to use the Holy Seal of [God's Admonition] to treat him... It can indeed relieve some of the symptoms of the curse."
"But it is only 'relief'... ..." His expression immediately became disappointed.
Looking at Bishop Fabion, who was still sleeping deeply, and then at Leonard, who was a little lonely, Luo Xiu said half-comforting and half-assured:
"I will find and let Fa... Bishop Fabion's method of recovery."
"Believe me, old priest...I assure you."
...
After that, Bishop Fabion is still there. As he fell asleep, Luo Xiu stopped disturbing him.
He knew Fabian's current condition, and roughly estimated that the old bishop still had three months, which was enough...
Three months - Luo Xiu had made a decision .
After returning to Red Maple City, he will start preparations for a "counterattack" on the border of the Dark Principality.
And his first target is "Fafnir City" - he will definitely kill Bishop Fabian with his own hands before he is tortured to death by the [Grey Blood Curse]. host".
At that time, "God's Destiny" will also usher in the official open beta, and its lovely players will truly return - with the foundation laid in the previous closed beta, I believe that most players will "arrive" for the first time. One thing is to join the church, which will be of great help to the "counterattack" plan.
"..."
Thinking about this, Luo Xiu and Priest Leonard came out of Bishop Fabian's room, and Leonard closed the door gently.
“Thank you, Luo Xiu.”
Later, Leonard solemnly thanked Luo Xiu:
“Thank you for coming back, and, thank you. Made this for the old bishop.”
"You want to save Bishop Fabian's life... We all want to, Luo Xiu. I can feel your sincerity, but don't force yourself too hard."
...
Afterwards, Leonard accompanied Luo Xiu and walked out of the courtyard of Bishop Fabian's "holy seat".
He tried to keep Luo Xiu for a few more days, but Luo Xiu just shook his head and said that there were still many things waiting for him in Red Maple City, so Leonard had to give up.
Leonard sent Luo Xiu out of the inner courtyard and returned to the door of the church. He saw the priests who came with Luo Xiu. They followed Luo Xiu’s instructions and waited patiently at the door of the church. With.
He then watched Luo Xiu get back on the carriage, watched Luo Xiu lift the curtain, and waved goodbye to him.
Leonard also waved his hand, and the priests driving the car raised their whips at the same time.
"Creak, creak", the six carriages gradually disappeared with the sound of the axles turning one after another, and finally disappeared at the end of the street and disappeared from Leonard's sight.
……
One day later.
The "Business Traveler" convoy, according to Luo Xiu's instructions, stopped at the outskirts of "Morning Town", which belongs to Sina City.
Luo Xiu still asked the team to wait where they were. He got out of the car, changed into regular clothes, and walked towards the "Glory Church" at the beginning.
Compared to Sina City, his impression of this place was not that profound - he just wanted to come and see the current situation of his old friend and see how his former "mentor" High Priest Ivan was doing now. .
Following the path in his memory, he gradually saw in his field of vision the bell tower on the dome of the "Glory Church". It seemed to have been repaired and looked very new.
When the "bell tower" gradually became clearer, he heard the voice of reciting scriptures.
The voice was quite young and obviously did not come from Ivan, but from another young priest.
Luo Xiu could see his back - he was standing in the church, praying devoutly towards the statue of Xu Mo. That seemed to be a young man with black hair, about the same height as himself when he was young...
Luo Xiu thought to himself, and an indifferent smile appeared on his face, guessing that Ivan Sure enough, as he said, he accepted another student...
And behind the "trainee priest", there were many believers from Chenxi Town.
They all held a copy of "Glorious Listening" in their hands and were chanting along with the young priest's prayers, and the former "Mayor Rupert" was the most pious among them.
I just didn’t see where Ivan was... Luo Xiu, who was among the believers, followed him in prayer and looked around, but he didn’t see the teacher.
The appearance of Luo Xiu seemed to attract the attention of the young priest.
He turned around, glanced at Luo Xiu a few more times in the crowd with some confused eyes, closed the "Glorious Listening" in his hand, walked to Luo Xiu, and asked:
< br>"Hello, dear sir, I don't seem to have seen you?"
"..."
"Don't pay attention to me, I'm just an ordinary believer who came to participate in the praise."
At this time, Luo Xiu was wearing a short hat to cover his forehead. The scarf around his neck covered the lower half of his face. The believers around him also looked at him, but no one recognized him.
Luo Xiu smiled and asked the young priest in front of him:
"Excuse me, where is Father Ivan? I heard about the priest's good reputation and wanted to come and visit him..."
"Are you asking the teacher?"
The young priest said suddenly, "It turns out that you are the teacher's friend, but the teacher is not here. He received the commission and went to a nearby town."
"That's it..." A look of pity appeared on Luo Xiu's face.
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out a somewhat heavy letter.
"Then when Father Ivan comes back, please forward this letter to him. Just say that...well, Mr. Alerdine's friend came to visit him. Please, little one Fr.”
"Oh..."
The young priest looked at Luo Xiu, and then at the letter in his hand. He always felt that the person in front of him did not look like a good person, but he still took the letter from his hand.
"I will deliver it to you." The young priest stuffed the letter back into his arms and said.
Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand and touched the head of the "junior" in front of him. Then, under the somewhat resistant gaze of the young priest, he turned and left, and soon turned the corner of the street. Disappeared.
……
until evening.
Morning Town, in front of the Glorious Church.
The melodious sound of horse hoofbeats came, and the priest of the church returned happily on his pony.
"Hi, Salco!"
"Priest" shouted into the closed door of the church, "I'm back, Salco!"
Creak, creak, the sound of the door latch being moved came from behind the church door.
The young priest named "Sarko" opened the door of the church from the inside. He looked at the high priest Ivan who had just tied the horse and greeted him respectfully:
"You are back, teacher."
"Haha, good boy." Ivan smiled and nodded.
After tying the horse, he walked towards the church, then entered the church and closed the door again.
"Over in Saas Town, the 'exorcism' ritual in Mrs. Holmer's mansion was really difficult...haha."
Ivan said casually, and then he asked Salko :
"How are you today, Salko?"
"Today...is not bad, teacher." Salko replied respectfully.
But after saying this, he quickly recalled the "weirdo" he saw in the morning, so he truthfully said to Ivan:
"There is just a strange person. Well, he said that he is just an ordinary believer, and he seems to have come to visit you specially."
"Visit me?" Ivan was stunned.
"Yes, he said he seemed to be...a friend named Alai...Alai, what kind of friend? Seeing that you were not in the church, he left a letter for you."
"Aletin...haha, Salko."
When he heard that Salko couldn't even pronounce his name clearly, Ivan smiled and teased him:
"You kid is good at everything, but your memory is a bit poor, and you don't even know your name..."
Suddenly, Ivan stopped talking and just looked at Salko, his expression seemed to be stunned. seconds.
Sarco had never seen a teacher like this before. He instinctively felt a little scared, thinking that something big was going on.
And then he heard Ivan murmur:
"Alerdine..."
"Is it 'Alerdin'?"
"Yes, yes! Teacher," Salko nodded quickly, "that's the name."
"That person I left a letter for you?”
“Yes, yes...teacher...”
Salco quickly reached into his arms and took out the heavy letter. , the unopened letter, handed it to Ivan with both hands.
Ivan stretched out his hand to take it, and his eyes immediately fell on the golden fire-lacquer seal on it -
That was the fire-lacquer seal representing "Bishop", in which was engraved a name that was so familiar to Ivan that he was no longer familiar with it.
——"Bishop of Red Maple City, Rossiu Carlos"!
Zarco saw that there seemed to be some kind of brilliant light flashing in the eyes of his "teacher".
He watched the teacher take the cutting knife and carefully cut open the envelope, revealing the shining silver light inside!
Those are all imperial platinum coins!
One... two... Salko counted them, there were ten platinum coins in total!
That was equivalent to a thousand gold coins... Sarko's mouth opened subconsciously out of surprise and could not be closed for a long time.
"I have never seen so much money..."
Sarko looked at the platinum coins blankly, but his teacher did not hear it, just looked at his hands The opened letter was muttering something to itself.
"Luo Xiu..."
Zarko heard it, his "teacher" was murmuring this name.
"Don't wait for me when you come back, just meet me, really..."
"At least eat before leaving, what are you doing with so much money..."
< br>“……”
"Go, Salko, buy two bottles of wine."
"I want to drink."
"What?" Salko looked at the teacher Ivan, suspecting that he might have heard What's wrong -
"This is against..."
"Go quickly, Salko." Ivan interrupted:
"Now, Justa's Tavern is open. Salko, go buy two bottles of pure wheat craft beer."
"You also have a bottle with me, Salko."
"Talk to me, I will tell you a story about another student of mine..."
