Chapter 354 New skills acquired!
[Deathrattle Demon·Mourner], after Luo Xiu touched his finger, and the spirit had turned into a bitten snake as a link to the contract, his complete panel also appeared on Luo Xiu's panel at the same time. Appearing in the middle——
That is the devil who controls death.
For Luo Xiu, such a powerful demon can be more useful to him, provided that he has enough control over him and obtains enough interest or loyalty from him.
After the snake of the contract merged into the body, the mourner withdrew his finger.
"...I am waiting to be sent."
He said.
And his four hands returned to the clasped posture, and he bowed slightly to Luo Xiu, performing some weird etiquette, and then his figure gradually faded and disappeared.
He has returned to the abyss.
The surrounding chaotic light also dimmed immediately. The moment the mourner disappeared, a shrill cry like a ghost's cry filled Luo Xiu's ears.
The surrounding temperature dropped suddenly, but this phenomenon did not last long and soon returned to normal.
Luo Xiu then turned around and left the altar.
The dragon claw mark on the back of his hand floated, and then he returned to the real world.
……
When I opened my eyes again.
He has returned to the Red Maple City Church and his "Bishop's Holy See."
It is still late at night in the real world.
Luo Xiu recalled the real phantom created by "Shadow Raven", and then went to the "Holy Cultivation Room" where the blank scrolls were stored in the bishop's throne.
He has just promoted [Abyss] to the fourth level of destiny, and has mastered several new skills and knowledge. In his plan, now is the time to expand his skill bar— —
After a while, he arrived at the Holy Cultivation Room, took out a blank scroll, and began to invest and inscribe several technical knowledge.
It's not just the [Abyss], but also the new [Glory] skill that was obtained before. Luo Xiu has roughly drafted several skill items that he will invest in creating his own skills.

【……】
So far, Luo Xiu has successfully completed the inscription of four blank scrolls.
He obtained two new [Glory] skills - [Soul-Captivating Holy Eyes] and [God's Silence]; and two [Abyss] skills - [Shadow of Divine Glory] With [Embrace of Blood River]. And getting them also completely drained Luo Xiu of his remaining experience points. This is the whole harvest.
That strengthened the [Glory] control holy skill that Luo Xiu had been lacking, and also allowed him to obtain the first [Abyss] fate field skill, and also gave him a series of skills in [Abyss] Finally, it can be used with the special effect of [Glory], and the number of tactical combinations he can use on the open battlefield has increased a lot.
Luo Xiu is quite satisfied with the results of this self-creation, but he also has some regrets - he originally wanted to try [Demon Summoning] and [Brilliant Inscription] and [Holy Light Affinity], try I tried to make the [Glory] form vest of "Deathrattle Demon - Mourner", but failed for the time being...
Perhaps it is because your [Abyss] is only in the fourth level of life, or it may be that you lack a certain key [Abyss] or [Glory] skill knowledge. The success rate displayed on the panel is only 3%~5%, and The amount of experience that needs to be invested is huge, and Luo Xiu has already completed all the blank scrolls in the holy training room for this purpose.
This is not something that needs to be completed urgently. It is something that can be expected in the future and will definitely be done next time... Luo Xiu put it aside for the time being, then left the Holy Cultivation Room, returned to the bedroom on the third floor of the Holy See, and grabbed The last sleep between early morning and dawn.
……
Early morning.
As soon as the sun's rays reached the outline of the eaves, and the morning fog had not yet dispersed, Luo Xiu woke up.
He then got up from the bed, went to the bathroom, washed up, changed into the "bishop's" robe, and then went to the church's sacred hall.
Red Maple City Church, inside the Holy Office.
After entering the "bishop room" and sitting down on the main seat, Luo Xiu asked "Guiding Pastor" Colen to summon Hubert, Anthony, and the three "priests" Fran , Grasa and Howard came here to hand over some affairs. After a not-too-long wait, Hubert, Anthony, Fran, Glasa and Howard arrived one after another and took their seats opposite Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu first asked Hubert about the current situation of the church, and Hubert gave a detailed answer.
Luo Xiu has learned.
During the days when Hubert served as acting bishop, he made some new adjustments to the church's priesthood.
The current number of clergy in the church has exceeded 300, officially entering the threshold of a "large church".
Therefore, Hubert determined the church's priesthood system with reference to the regulations of the General Church and the resolution left by Luo Xiu before leaving - the "bishop" is in charge of the church, and there are "priests" "The system in which each sanctuary is in charge and the "high priest" supervises other priests.
Previously, Luo Xiu had already made the appointment of priests - 'Knight of Enlightenment' Fran will serve as the priest of the secret place, and 'Fire Blesser' Grasa will serve as the priest of the mission. Priest, and the "Purification Patriarch" Howard serves as the priest of the Holy Inquisition.
Now that they are basically familiar with church affairs and are qualified for the holy office of "priest", Hubert canceled the position of "chief official" of the sanctuary and appointed Pamier and Maier. Yev and Olga, the former "chief officials" of the sanctuary, arranged more specific priesthoods.
For example, Palmier now serves as the "Holy Inquisitor", commanding the other "Holy Inquisitors", and the other "Holy Inquisitors" command the "Holy Inquisitors".
Connor, who had just been successfully promoted to the third level of destiny, was promoted to "Captain of the Holy Guard".
When he was still in the second life, he had been appointed as the "Captain of the Holy Guard" by Luo Xiu - but the players who were the "Saint Protectors" suddenly disappeared, causing Connor's priesthood to disappear. It became false, but this was what Luo Xiu meant, and Hubert just followed it.
For example, Maiyev, the former chief officer of the "Missionary House", now manages the church's finances, props, equipment and material reserves as the 'Grand Treasurer'; Olga, the former chief officer of the "Secret Base" As the "Holy Secret Envoy", he is responsible for diplomatic matters between the church and the "Supreme" "Side Court" and the "Intellectual" "Fangbei Courtyard".
To a certain extent, this can be regarded as "demoting" Pamie and Mayev, but it actually gives them more real power.
Because they are still the priesthood center who are most familiar with church affairs, and many executive-level matters also need to be completed by them, Hubert also raised their stipends respectively.
As for the "priests" and the current "priests" Fran, Glasa and Howard, they completely replaced the management, single-handedly took over most of the church's planning and decision-making matters, and Distribute them according to the situation.
In this way, the church's authority configuration has become clearer and its efficiency has also improved.
After listening to Hubert's narration, Luo Xiu nodded in approval.
The arrangements he made were reasonable decisions based on his status as "acting bishop". Although Palmier and Maiyev are no longer involved in the management of the upper levels of the sanctuary, Anthony still occupies the position of "high priest", so the three priests will not threaten Luo Xiu's influence and control over the church. .
Luo Xiu looked at Anthony, and then at the three priests Fran, Grasa, and Howard sitting next to him. Their expressions were as usual, and their spirituality was as stable as ever. Luo Xiu did not feel that they There is a sense of "disrespect" in it.
It seems they get along well... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
He was originally worried that the three priests might put too much pressure on Anthony, but now it seems that this worry will not be fulfilled.
"...Bishop."
Just after Hubert explained the current situation of the church to Luo Xiu, Anthony said:
"There is something, I wonder if you know about it."
"What?" Luo Xiu turned to him and asked.
"That's about the refugees you asked the clergy to bring back from outside the city."
After organizing the words, Anthony said:
"Just now A few mornings ago...one day after you left Red Maple City and headed for Songyuan City, they disappeared, and no trace has been found yet."
"Disappeared?" Following Anthony's words, a slightly surprised look appeared on Luo Xiu's face, and he asked, "You mean... those 'Saint Protectors' disappeared? No wonder I didn't see them in the church. them.”
He. Saying this, Anthony, Hubert and the three priests beside him did not suspect anything, but Anthony nodded and continued:
"...Yes, disappeared. . It was not a 'disappearance', it was witnessed by a priest. Without them, their bodies became illusory and transparent, and then they scattered like cocoons, and quickly disappeared."
"This is a vision, but it's a good thing to see these visions. There are not many priests, Hubert Your Excellency has ordered that all the clergymen who saw that scene must remain silent."
"I am still investigating this matter, Bishop...but we are all a little confused and don't know what to do. How to do it.”
"..."
Anthony said, Luo Xiu's eyes immediately looked at Hubert, and the holy deacon also nodded lightly.
"Let's keep the 'Holy Guard' for now, we can wait."
Crossing his hands and putting them in front of his chin, Luo Xiu said to Anthony and the three "priests":
"Recruiting those refugees was the instruction given to me. We have already witnessed their 'immortality' vision, and now it seems that that miracle does have a secret and a price."
"Just continue to investigate, Anthony, but there is no need to panic about this. This does not affect us, at least not now."
"...Yes." Anthony nodded and responded:
"Then, press your You said it, I will organize people to continue investigating these."
"Also, Howard."
Luo Xiu looked at the "Purification Patriarch" in front of him and looked at the new appointee. The priest of the Holy Inquisition said:
"The residences built for the 'Saint Guardians' in the outer suburbs should be reserved for them first, as well as the identities and names of these 'Saint Guardians'. Give them a month. If they have not come back by then, we will Make other decisions.”
“Me. Understood, Bishop." Howard nodded in response and said with piety and respect:
"Glory will not give up on every believer, and neither will you"
