Chapter 306 An unexpected surprise
Late at night.
In the vestry hall of the church, between the bishops.
Luo Xiu, Hubert and Anthony gathered here to discuss some follow-up matters about the church.
After the previous promotion ceremony of Luo Xiu, the priests returned to their posts. Luo Xiu, Hubert, Baines from the "Bianting", Alfan from the "Fangbei Yard", and Eureka were very late in negotiating the follow-up direction of Red Maple City, and they were not sent back until not long ago. respective locations.
After that, they had time to gather in the Holy Office late at night and begin to formally discuss important decisions related to the church.
The original secret meeting between Luo Xiu and Hubert, this time there was one more person - Anthony, who had been promoted to the "Fourth Destiny", officially took over Luo Xiu's "before" at the end of the ceremony. "Grand Priest" position, he has the qualifications to participate in top-level decision-making in dealing with matters related to the Red Maple City Church.
“The ceremony went very smoothly, Luo Xiu.”
Hubert smiled and said to Luo Xiu:
“Sincere congratulations to you, you have officially I am the 'Bishop' of the Red Maple City Church, and I have completed my duties on this trip."
"It's just that about the oracle you received from the 'Divine Prophecy' before..."
"About 'Oncica Town', what's going on?"
Hubert asked.
Luo Xiu knew that after the promotion ceremony was over, Hubert would definitely ask about this matter.
He did not reveal all the true facts of what he saw or heard to the other clerics during the ceremony, but he did not intend to hide it from Hubert and Antony.
He then said bluntly:
"Lord Hubert, and Anthony, regarding the 'town of Oncica', it is indeed the 'oracle' I received from the Great Sun."< br>
“He showed me a quite tragic scene - the earth was torn apart, and the calamity fire was rising. The town was on the verge of half destruction, and a large number of [Red Lotus] body destroyers were slaughtering civilians, dismembering their bodies, They enjoyed stitching together new flesh and blood and never tired of it."
Seeing the seriousness on Hubert and Anthony's faces, Luo Xiu solemnly recounted himself to them." The content of the oracle obtained by "Divine Prophecy":
"I heard His voice"
"He guided me like this - [The holy light will not shine everywhere, mourning will fill the wilderness, and thorns will bloom flowers of destruction];"
"He also warned me - [There is something brewing there. There is a conspiracy, abnormal death is hidden underground, and the light can no longer dispel the haze]..."
"——[...]"
Report the content that appears on the panel to Huber After Erte and Anthony repeated it, Luo Xiu finally said:
"I got such a prophecy from the 'Divine Prophecy'. However, all this has not happened yet. What I saw, That’s what will happen if we don’t interfere.”
"That scene is absolutely real and not a fantasy in my mind. I think you should understand that as the 'Apostle of Divine Glory' I will not and have no need to exaggerate on such a matter."
"..."
"A large number of [Red Lotus] body destroyers?" Hubert murmured, his brows gradually furrowed.
"Well, in my guess, that may be the remnants of the 'Blood of Thorns'."
Luo Xiu added:
"After all, in the oracle of the Great Sun, He mentioned that 'thorns will bloom with flowers of destruction.' And the Pillar God that [Red Lotus] believes in is the Seat of Destruction."
"Although We have carried out large-scale adjudication and eradication of the 'Blood of Thorns', but it may not have been thorough. There are still a considerable number of 'Body Destroyers' who have gone into hiding, and a new group of flesh and blood cultists have developed. "
"Blood of Thorns"... When Luo Xiu mentioned the name of this association again, memories of the past came flooding back.
He will always remember one thing deeply - the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" is not dead yet, and the "Blood of Thorns" has not been completely eliminated from its roots. The first hidden mission he received when he came to this world, [Dusk Ends Night], is still sitting in his taskbar gathering dust until now.
Perhaps we can take advantage of this "divine revelation" opportunity to completely eradicate the "Blood of Thorns" stronghold in Songyuan Territory. When he returns from Songyuan City, if everything goes well, You can also directly launch a counterattack against the Dark Principality, attack Fafnir City, and drive straight into the lair of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice"...
It just so happens that I can complete the hell-difficulty hidden task [Dusk Ends the Night] at the same time, so as to avoid long nights and dreams.
Luo Xiu was thinking about this, and he heard Hubert ask him a worried question:
"Luo Xiu, you know the prophecy of 'disaster' and what will really happen. Time? "
"..."
"In His prophecy, that will happen in fourteen days."
Luo Xiu said, "This is enough for us to be fully prepared. I don't plan to wait until then. We can organize the Holy Inquisitor's team now and go to Oncica Town to solve it."
"..."
"Fourteen days..." Anthony pondered, his eyes showed determination, "Let me lead the team, and I will judge them."
I'm just waiting for your words, Anthony Captain... Luo Xiu looked at Anthony, nodded and said:
"Of course, Anthony. This is a task tailor-made for you."
"At that time, all the newly formed 'Saint Protectors' will go with you. You can also choose half of the 'Deacons' and fifty 'Dual Destiny' priests to accompany you. Wipe out all the evil gangs of [Red Lotus].”
In Luo Xiu’s plan, Hubert needs to stay in Red Maple City temporarily, and he is ready to go to Songyuan City. Seeing the archbishop, Anthony is indeed the most suitable candidate to rescue the town of Oncica at the same time.
Already a "Bishop", Luo Xiu does not need to personally share his energy with enemies who are only "Destroyers" with three levels of destiny. This is one of the reasons; and Anthony has just been promoted to "Presiding the Grand Ceremony". Luo Xiu simply asked him to take this opportunity to gain merit and accumulate prestige, so that the authority hierarchy of the church would be much more stable. This was the second reason.
In fact, there are more personal reasons mixed in - after the previous major events, the majority of players need to use new events to divert their attention - the hidden disaster of the body destroyer in "Oncica Town", It is a very good target that can attract players' firepower.
This is almost equivalent to the "main mission" that Luo Xiu "gives" to the players, so Luo Xiu wants to complete it in a hurry - now there are only four days left before the end of the "Deleted Internal Beta" When the time comes, Luo Xiu must also seize the time.
"I understand." Anthony nodded solemnly.
"I will solve them. I will break the disaster in Oncica Town."
Anthony said, "I will formulate tactics and itinerary when I go back next time. If the conditions are met, I will lead the team and set off tomorrow morning."
...
The high-level secret meeting in the Holy Office ended in about half an hour.
Afterwards, Hubert left the church and returned to his residence in Red Maple City, while Anthony returned to the Holy Inquisition and made arrangements for the "Holy Inquisition" task that would be carried out the next day.
Luo Xiu also left the Holy Office and returned to the bedroom in the "bishop's room", lying on the bed relaxed physically and mentally. He teased out several important tasks that will be carried out in the future - he will go to Songyuan City, meet the Archbishop, and participate in destroying the secret "Black Crystal Factory"; Koros will destroy the "Steel-Burning Furnace" on his behalf. "; Anthony is preparing to go to Oncica Town to quell the brewing disaster... Everything is developing in an orderly and step-by-step manner, and it is all under Luo Xiu's control.
After confirming that the subsequent itinerary was correct, Luo Xiu temporarily cleared all these heavy matters in his mind and began to post new posts in the [Player Forum].
Compared with the previous day, the number of players on the streets of Red Maple City at night doubled. Many players sum up their "experience" and want to try their luck and "encounter" the apostles of the Holy Abyss and get the opportunity to join the "Holy Abyss".
For Luo Xiu, this is a good development.
Earlier before the update, he had asked Intis to arrange dozens of second-level and third-level apostles of the Holy Abyss, who were specifically responsible for haunting the streets and alleys of Red Maple City and bringing the people they encountered The "Adventors" were brought back to the Holy Abyss.
Because the clothes of the descendants are basically specially customized, even if they have not joined the three major stations, the refugee clothes they wear are easy to distinguish, and the "adventors" brought back are basically not seen. error.
However, there are very few exceptions. A small number of "civilians" were brought into the Holy Abyss as "Adventors". The memories of these poor children were washed away by the Apostles of the Holy Abyss in [The Void] and then sent back, as if nothing had happened.
So far, nearly two thousand players have been brought into the "Holy Abyss", and they have all received the initial task of joining the Holy Abyss [Great! Holy Abyss], the vast majority of players chose to complete it as soon as possible and obtained a pass to enter and exit the Holy Abyss.
As for the players who are still waiting and watching, or even unwilling to join the "Holy Abyss", they will not be able to get the "Isol Royal Court Seal" that can enter and exit the secret realm of the Royal Court, and they will not be able to leave the "Holy Abyss" - they will Being unable to return to the real world is equivalent to the house arrest and threat imposed on them by the "Holy Abyss".
In a sense, "Holy Abyss" is a 'secluded neutral organization' and a 'secret mall' for most players, but for a few players it is a real "cage"—— After being beaten and defeated, and unable to escape, he was finally forced to "become a good person" and apply to other "Apostles of the Holy Abyss" to join him in order to obtain the seal of entering and exiting the royal court.
Otherwise, the accounts they deleted for the closed beta test will be considered useless... but most players will not care about this.
Joining the "Holy Abyss" can unlock a secret mall that exchanges experience for extraordinary knowledge. This exchange is not something that most players would like to do.
Luo Xiu was flipping through the increasingly lively discussions on "Holy Abyss" in the [Player Forum], and at the same time looking at the panel of his "Spiritual Fountain", the accumulated experience points were flying like a rocket. Pull it upwards.
[Current experience value storage: 1743285/5000000]
[…]
[Current experience value storage: 2834226/5000000]
[…]
< br>[Current experience value storage: 3779263/5000000]
[...]
The accumulated experience points are increasing at a terrifying speed. The business of "Shengyuan Mall" was booming at the beginning of its opening, and the initial skill of each destiny "Inscription Method" is very popular!
So far, more than 1,500 players have chosen to spend 2,000 experience points to learn the inscription method at the "Fountain of the Holy Abyss", thereby truly touching the extraordinary.
Saint Guardian players who have already learned the initial skill of [Glory] "Brilliant Engraving" in the church can also further learn the skill and skill knowledge of [Glory] in the first level of life at the Fountain of the Holy Abyss. ——The skills and knowledge currently open to them by Luo Xiu include [Holy Light Affinity] and [Spiritual Vision], and the skills and knowledge include [Elementary Healing], [Elementary Prayer]...
Among them, [Holy Light] [Light Affinity] and [Spiritual Vision] are skills that can be learned automatically after being promoted to the "Second Life Path", but if taught in advance, they can also be learned during the First Life Path. Luo Xiu priced them all at 1,500 experience points, so he could make the difference in information!
As for skills and knowledge that can be used directly, Luo Xiu's pricing is more expensive - [Basic Healing Technique] is priced at 2,500, [Basic Prayer] is priced at 3,000, and there are also "Saint Guardian" players who are willing to pay for their experience.
——Making money! This wave is really profitable! .jpg
This is the first feeling of the majority of "Saint Guardian" players when they gain new knowledge, and it is also Luo Xiu's truest mood at this time.
In addition to the skills and skill knowledge of [Glory], other knowledge that can be exchanged for fate is also arranged in the same way, but the sales volume is lower than that of [Glory].
But it doesn't matter - it always takes a certain amount of development time for players to become "rich". The big leek field has just been harvested, and Luo Xiu is not in a hurry.
When the accumulated experience value in the "Spring of Spirituality" panel exceeded 4 million, Luo Xiu extracted all the experience.
[Current resonance level: Level II]
[Level II resonance level: When taking out the stored experience value, it is effectively converted to 60%]
[……]< br>
【Extracted experience: 2408023 points】
After effective transformation, the accumulated experience value in Luo Xiu's character panel instantly exceeded 3 million!
I have never fought such a rich battle... Looking at the cold seven-digit number lying in his experience tank, Luo Xiu could no longer hold back the corner of his mouth, and raised the arc of pleasure.
At this time, his level is still lv.40, and the experience required to upgrade is "310480" points. The upper limit of the level of "Fifth Level Destiny" is lv.60, and he can upgrade from lv.40 to lv. 50 requires about 5 million, and the upgrade from lv.50 to lv.60 is several times this number. Luo Xiu is not prepared to use all the experience to improve the level.
He has actually already planned where this batch of experience will go - to fill up all the skills and skills that he has mastered in [Glory] and [Abyss]! That roughly requires nearly 1.5 million experience points.
Then, use the remaining experience points to upgrade "Void Guardian" Amber, "Winged Angel" Tatia, "Ember Wolf King" Fenrir, "Shadow Raven" Wuye , and the level of "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus, raising their levels by about 2 levels on average, just enough to use up all the experience.
And that's not the end.
After Luo Xiu completed this series of self-strengthening, brand-new content suddenly appeared in his "Spiritual Fountain" panel -
[Father: Spiritual Fountain]< br>
【Resonance level increased! 】
【Current resonance level: Level II→Level III】
[Level III resonance level: When taking out the stored experience points, it is effectively converted to 70%]
[Experience value storage capacity increased! 】
[The storage capacity is increased to: 5000000→10000000]
[The efficiency of condensing natural spirituality is improved! 】
【Condensation of natural spirituality efficiency: 7/min→15/min】
【……】
Ouch!
Looking at the new content that was refreshed in the "Spring of Spirituality" panel, the smile that filled the corner of Luo Xiu's mouth became even more unbearable.
What an unexpected surprise!
