Chapter 307 Three days passed quickly
The next morning.
Luo Xiu woke up from his short sleep, walked to the clothes store as usual, grabbed the bishop's robe and put it on his body, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
Midway, he opened the "Spring of Spirituality" panel, and the accumulated experience points in it increased by more than 500,000. The first wave of experience gained from the players was considered to have passed the peak of the first round.
Almost two-thirds of the players in Red Maple City have chosen to join the Holy Abyss. After most players raise their level to the upper limit of lv.10, their excess experience points will be "given up" It was given to the Fountain of the Holy Abyss, and now there really is not a drop left.
However, despite being drained of experience, the majority of Shengyuan players are still very happy - it is a "deleted internal beta" anyway. This wave of consuming experience in exchange for extraordinary knowledge can save many detours and avoid many detours during the official open beta. Pitfalls, you can also experience the thrill of becoming a transcendent in advance, which is an excellent gaming experience...
This wave is a win-win! This is true for both players and "Holy Abyss".
But Luo Xiu always felt that he had won twice.jpg
However, a blowout harvest like last night was rare. If you want to gain the second wave of great experience, you must give players more time to develop. Luo Xiu clearly knows this.
In order to reach the climax of the next wave of harvest as soon as possible, he has also prepared quite a lot of incentives for players - the disaster of the body destroyers in "Oncica Town", the darkness still lingering outside the city The remnants of the army, the various esoteric strongholds in the city that have not been completely cleared, etc. are all important experience fields for players to gain experience points in the future.
In order to better guide his players, Luo Xiu will also issue various tasks to them. However, the mission rewards given to players will not deviate from their current level - it not only allows the players in Red Maple City to be at an upper level compared to players in other regions, but also keeps them from going beyond control. Luo Xiu is maintaining This delicate balance.
This feeling is indescribable, just like printing money - allowing players to always have a balance, but not too much. The strength of the players is not as high as that of most ordinary natives in Red Maple City. It will expand too fast, and players will have no hope of continuing to play.
This is called sustainability... Luo Xiu had a smile on his lips. He had finished washing in the bathroom, left the bishop's seat and walked towards the inner courtyard of the church.
At the intersection of the Bishop's Cathedral and the Holy Inquisition, he saw Anthony head-on - there were two slightly deep black spots hanging from the corners of his eyes, and his face looked a little tired, as if he had stayed up all night look.
Anthony also saw Luo Xiu, and he walked towards Luo Xiu.
"Good morning...Luo Xiu." Anthony greeted Luo Xiu, "You seem to be in good spirits."
"But you don't seem to be in good spirits, Anthony."
Luo Xiu looked at Anthony, stared at him worriedly for a long time, and said:
"You stayed up all night last night?...I remembered. I remember you said that after you go back, you will make a plan to go there. The arrangement of the Holy Judgment mission in 'Oncica Town'..."
"Yes." Anthony nodded, with a reluctant smile and said, "It's okay, this is my responsibility. ”
"I have planned everything, including the selection and mobilization of the accompanying priests, as well as the specific arrangements for the itinerary."
"During the time when I left the church and went to the town of Oncica, All affairs of the Holy Inquisition will be left to Pamier, and I have already completed the handover work with her."
"...Okay," Luo Xiu nodded and asked. "When do you plan to set off?"
"Noon." Anthony replied, "At that time, fifty caravans heading to the town of Oncica will stop at the door of the church, and four 'deacons' , fifty 'Holy Judges' and one hundred and fifty 'Saint Protectors' will board the carriage and arrive at the town tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded solemnly again, put his right hand on his left chest, offered the sacrament to Anthony, and said, "I and other clergymen of the church will see you off and wish you a triumphant return."
……
Noon came quickly.
Fifty caravans were parked densely in front of the door of the Red Maple City Church.
They did not carry any goods on this trip. The owners of these carriages had received commissions from the church, so they waited patiently and seemed quite calm.
Anthony, the four acolytes, and the fifty "Holy Judges" who will perform the mission have arrived at the door, and the "Saint Protector" players who have received the mission have also come online one after another. Before the agreed departure time, we rushed to the gate to gather.
At the appointed noon time, Anthony let the others get in the car first, and Luo Xiu and the church clergy lined up in front of the church door to see them off with solemnity and piety.
"Bon voyage, Anthony."
Luo Xiu patted Anthony's shoulder, swept away the dust for him, and said:
"I will protect you in a moment, I wish you all the best and come back soon."
Anthony nodded, and after saying goodbye to a few people, he boarded the last carriage and closed the curtain.
The drivers raised their whips, and the axles of the fifty carriages began to rotate, making a "squeaking, squeaking" sound, and slowly drove out of the street.
It was not until the last carriage disappeared at the end of the street that the clergy returned to the church and returned to the sacred post they held day after day.
……
One day passed.
In the early morning, Luo Xiu had learned from the chat channel that Anthony and the others had successfully arrived in the town of Oncica.
Just like when performing the mission of the Holy Judge, after entering the town of Onsica, the Holy Judges disguised themselves as businessmen from other places and scattered and hid around the Destroyer's stronghold.
With the prophetic information Luo Xiu obtained through the "Divine Prophecy", Anthony and the others carried out the siege of the enemy in a concealed and smooth manner. Luo Xiu no longer worried about that, and went straight to the Holy Office to start Handle the business of the church for the day.
When he came to the Holy Office and entered the room between the bishops, Olga, the chief officer of the secret base, rarely took the initiative to report on his work.
He brought "fresh" information to Luo Xiu, Olga said:
"Your Excellency, I got the news from the side court as soon as possible-'Execution Officer Koros had retreated in the early morning, leaving only a small number of remnants, led by the newly appointed 'Executioner' Bartlett, still stationed thirty miles outside Red Maple City."
"According to reports from the spies placed in the Black Army by the side court, Koros is about to go to Fafnir City in the Principality of Darkness to station and recuperate. The Dark Duke seems to be planning to send two other executioners here to increase the attack on Red Maple City. Military investment. "
"However, because Red Maple City cannot be captured for a long time, the Dark Principality's front line in the Songyuan Territory has become tight, and it is not easy to urgently mobilize a sufficient number of troops... and the Empire's The most elite force - the 'Knights of the Divine Seal', commanded by Emperor Augustwell himself, has arrived at the border and is having a decisive battle with the main force of the Dark Army on the battlefield of Kuma Territory. Therefore, the Dark Lord originally wanted to further attack Hongfeng. The city's plan was forcibly put on hold again."
"As soon as I learned of the news, I came to tell you, Lord Bishop, that Red Maple City has been safe for a while. , we have enough time to recover from the pain of the previous battle."
"..."
"I understand, Olga" Luo Xiu nodded. Lu smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for telling me this." After thinking about it, he added to Olga:
“Go to the side court again and relay a few words to Baines in my name——‘Executioner’ Koroth and ‘Hidden Elder’ Babron have both retreated. It was an opportunity to counterattack. Rossiu Carlos suggested that he should take this opportunity to destroy the dark garrison outside the city and prepare to build defensive fortifications. If the empire can win the final victory in the decisive battle of Kuma Territory, Hong Maple will win. The city is preparing to change from a defensive posture to an offensive posture. "
"I will follow your instructions, Bishop. If there is any new information from the side court, I will report to you as soon as possible. "
Olga bowed deeply to Luo Xiu, then stood up and left, not forgetting to close the door gently when leaving the room.
After Olga left, Luo Xiu leaned back, with a deep light shining in his eyes.
He had actually known for a long time that "Executioner" Koros would withdraw from the battlefield, and Koros had already reported this to him.
The reason why it is delayed until now is, firstly, to deceive others, and secondly, to delay Babelun’s journey to the Sombra Factory, and to provide more kills for players who join the “City Wall Guard”. The achievements of the remnant army.
Under Luo Xiu's instruction, Koros has delayed Babylon long enough. It wasn't until Babylon finally agreed to a certain "condition" proposed by Koros that Koros finally "agreed" to let him go.
The deal between them is this - Koros will give up the siege and withdraw to the city of Fafnir in the Dark Principality. On the way to withdraw, Babylon needed to escort him all the way until he arrived safely.
In exchange, Koros would hand over the fragments of "Said's Codex" to Bablon. This was the thing that Bablon cared about most, so he did not refuse.
Of course, what Babylon didn't know was that the maker behind this so-called "deal" was actually Luo Xiu... When he transformed Koros into a "crazy believer", he did not directly take back "Said" from Koros. The reason for "Notes" is to wait for this moment.
As a fishing bait, "Said's Notes" is particularly useful at times like this. He can control Babylon to do almost anything for him, but Babylon is still unaware of it.
……
Another day passed.
As the morning bell of the church rang for three rounds, Luo Xiu got up from the bed, put on the bishop's robe as usual, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went to the Holy Office.
During this period, he paid attention to the movements of all parties through the [Player Forum] and chat channel, and everything went smoothly as expected.
In the town of Oncica, Anthony's side has made first contact with the lurking "Destroyers". They took over a small stronghold outside the enemy and confirmed an important item from it. Intelligence——
They are indeed the remnants of the "Blood of Thorns"!
After the General Church’s all-round sanction against them, a small number of “body-killers” did hear the wind, so they moved their bases and hid themselves in the main building of Oncica Town. It's a hidden one.
In the town of Oncica, these "Blood of Thorns" destroyers incited blood followers to promote the ideology of flesh and blood among poor refugees, and encouraged batch after batch of refugees to join. Became a new "blood disciple".
In addition, they also secretly kidnapped potential people and raised them as blood slaves. Relying on the blood sacrifice ceremony granted to them by the Lord of Blood Sacrifice, they performed sacrifices to the "Destruction Seat" again and again. A lot of power has been secretly strengthened.
Anthony and the others have roughly figured out the number of enemies.
They have a total of one "fourth-level destiny" leader, nine "three-level destiny" body destroyers, and the number of blood disciples and blood slaves totals hundreds. Such numbers are still in the hands of the Holy Judges. within the range that can be dealt with.
Luo Xiu felt relieved about them.
With a special killer weapon like the "Adventurer" in hand, Anthony and the others will basically not encounter much resistance.
Luo Xiu then no longer paid attention to Anthony. He had already arrived at the Holy Office, entered the room between the bishops, and started working.
After reviewing the files, there was a knock on the door between his bishops, and Hubert then pushed the door open and entered.
Behind him were three clergymen, all wearing the clerical attire of "priests" affiliated with the General Church.
"The three 'priests' sent by the General Church arrived this morning, Luo Xiu."
Hubert introduced Luo Xiu:
"They are 'Knight of Initiation' Frank, 'Fireblesser' Glasa, and 'Patriarch of Purification' Howard. They are all excellent clergymen and will assist you in the church from now on. "
"Knight of Glory" Fran is wearing a gorgeous paladin armor. He does not wear a helmet, and has long brown hair as smooth and flowing as a woman;
'Fire-blesser' Glasa is a nun. She has well-proportioned features and good-looking appearance, but she reveals a hint of divine coldness. At this time, she was holding her hands on her chest, nodding and silently reciting sacred prayers;
'Patriarch Howard' was a middle-aged pastor, with scars all over his face. , if he is not wearing the priestly attire that symbolizes the status of a priest, he looks like a battle-hardened [Ku Tu] warrior.
Flan, Glasa, and Howard are all priests with the fourth destiny of [Glory]. Their position in the priesthood is "priest", and their power and position are equivalent to "priest".
Looking at the three "priests" behind Hubert, Luo Xiu recalled that Hubert had mentioned this matter before when he refused Hubert to go to the main church to join the bishops.
Sending "priests" to the church was also a compromise proposal put forward by Luo Xiu - they only came to the church two days before he was about to go to Songyuan City. This may also be after the discussion of the main church. decision made.
I always feel like there are some secrets hidden inside... Luo Xiu thought about it for a moment, then a calm smile appeared on his face, he nodded to the three new "priests" and said:
"Welcome, Fran, Grasa, and Howard. Welcome to Red Maple City, and welcome you to join the sacred cause of the Red Maple City Church."
"Praise to you, Your Excellency, Bishop." "Knight of Qihui" Frank bowed to Luo Xiu first and said:
"We have been familiar with the great achievements you have established since we were in the main church. We have long been fascinated by you and Red Maple City."
"It is our honor to work with you, Your Excellency Bishop." Glasa also said, "Your faith is like the sun, bathing us in its radiance."
Howard's eyes shone with inexplicable excitement, "We will become your arms and your sanctuary." The Hammer of Sin and the Shield of Saints will wipe out all the heretics that stand in front of you, paving the way for the future of the Red Maple City Church."
