Chapter 52: The Place of Holy Judgment (please read it!)
"...Please wait a moment."
The middle-aged priest looked serious, "I'm going to ask the 'priest' for instructions. You stay here and don't move around."
After saying that, the middle-aged priest walked deeper into the church and soon disappeared among the crowd.
Luo Xiu watched the middle-aged priest leave, knowing that this was a necessary process.
…
After a not too long wait, the middle-aged priest returned to the front yard of the church.
"plz follow me."
The middle-aged priest said to Luo Xiu: "Be careful not to disturb other believers."
"Understood." Luo Xiu nodded, followed the middle-aged priest, and walked deeper into the church.
…
Luo Xiu followed the middle-aged priest through the front yard and atrium to the inner courtyard at the core of the church.
The feeling here is completely different from that of the front yard. The core courtyard is not open to ordinary believers. It is considered an internal place for those who have extraordinary destiny in [Glorious].
Luo Xiu and the middle-aged priest took a different path.
After walking around along the path for a while, a building like a courtyard appeared in Luo Xiu's field of vision.
But it didn't look like a religious building, but more like a barracks. On both sides of the entrance to the courtyard, there were huge statues of knights.
One of the two knights holds a sword and the other holds a yue. The weapons in their hands have golden light flowing from the blades, making them appear sacred and heroic.
"This is the Guardian Knight Colossus."
Seeing Luo Xiu's eyes lingering on the two knight statues, the middle-aged priest smiled and explained: "This is the Holy Inquisition that belongs to the 'Holy Inquisitors'."
While talking, Luo Xiu saw another familiar figure.
The visitor was carrying a fine steel war hammer and was waving in Luo Xiu's direction.
"——Luo Xiu! Luo Xiu..."
Luo Xiu recognized that it was the "Holy Light Priest" who had been to Dawn Town before, Connor Luen!
Luo Xiu greeted him. He saw an excited look on Connor's face, so he smiled and greeted, "Long time no see, Connor."
"...We thought you would come later."
Connor looked at Luo Xiu and said in surprise: "Have you been promoted to extraordinary?"
"Yes."
Luo Xiu nodded, "Shortly after you guys left Chenxi Town, I applied for a 'key' from the church, and I opened the door."
As he spoke, Luo Xiu asked in a puzzled tone: "I applied to Sina City, don't you know about this?"
"...Oh, I don't have enough authority." Connor smiled sarcastically, "I don't have the authority to know this, but I still congratulate you."
"..."
The two people walked into the Holy Inquisition side by side while chatting.
The interior of the Holy Inquisition, contrary to the sacred style of the church, is more like a police station with various files scattered around.
The internal environment seemed a bit messy, but Luo Xiu knew that, combined with the "Holy Judges"'s duties of suppressing cultists and resolving "extraordinary events", such an environment was still acceptable.
"By the way," Luo Xiu asked Connor, "Where is Pamier?"
"Pamier is in the back room. She said she wanted to train alone."
Connor said: "She usually doesn't go out. I'll take you to Leonard first. He is one of the 'priests' of the church. You need to pass his assessment first."
"OK."
Luo Xiu nodded and began to think about the knowledge about "priests" in his mind.
Generally speaking, within the "Holy Court", the "priest" is the middle-level authority.
"Priests" can usually only be held by extraordinary people who have reached the fourth level of [glorious] destiny. They work with the "church bishop" to manage the church and are in charge of at least one function within the church.
"... Luo Xiu."
Connor's voice interrupted Luo Xiu's thinking.
Luo Xiu came back to his senses and saw Connor saying to him with a serious expression: "We are here, you knock on the door... After Priest Leonard allows you to go in, you go in alone, and I will wait for you outside. ”
Hearing this, Luo Xiu took a deep breath.
In front of him was a slightly old wooden door, which gave Luo Xiu the feeling of being an old leader's office.
He still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"OK."
Luo Xiu nodded to Connor, took another deep breath, and finally raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.
"..."
"……Come in."
An old but energetic voice came from inside the door.
Connor patted Luo Xiu's shoulder lightly and took two steps back.
Luo Xiu then opened the door and walked in.
The first thing he saw was an old man with white beard and hair.
That is Leonard, the priest of the "Holy Inquisition".
Then, at the second glance, Luo Xiu noticed the tangled muscles on Priest Leonard's neck and arms.
Leonard's eyes were as sharp as knives. Although his beard and hair had turned gray due to age, his fierce energy and fiery temperament made Luo Xiu feel an inexplicable feeling even from a certain distance. shudder.
And this Priest Leonard also made Luo Xiu recall his previous life, the second creation of a character in an anime...
——Like Li! Norima Kojiro! .jpg
Luo Xiu then closed the door very sensibly.
Then he turned around and faced Priest Leonard with a smile.
"Hello...priest..."
Luo Xiu's attitude was unprecedentedly gentle, "I am Luo Xiu Carlos, from the Glorious Church of Morningside Town..."
"Um."
Leonard said a calm "hmm", only raised his head to glance at Luo Xiu, and then continued to look through the information at hand.
Looking at Leonard's silent face, Luo Xiu always felt that in the next second he would suddenly burst into flames and burst into flames, and give Luo Xiu a show of "conquering people with virtue" full of martial virtue...
While Leonard was browsing the information, Luo Xiu secretly threw the detection at him.
However, because the gap in the depth of fate is too large, Luo Xiu can only get minimal information from the detection.
Leonard Bambers, the fourth life path of [Light], can’t see his profession...but he should be the upper level of "Holy Light Priest" or "Holy Knight".
Luo Xiu was thinking while observing Leonard's image characteristics.
"Are you Rossio Carlos?"
Finally, Leonard put down the information at hand and asked.
"Yes, it's me."
Luo Xiu nodded, "Excuse me...will my assessment start now?"
“It starts from the moment you walk in the door.”
Leonard said solemnly, "I heard that you once saved Connor's life? You did a good job."
"...It's just within my responsibilities." Luo Xiu said modestly, "Master Priest, may I ask, what do you need from me?"
Just when Luo Xiu asked this sentence.
Leonard suddenly stood up.
He rolled up the sleeves on his arms and swung his thick arms.
The next moment, Leonard's sharp eyes looked at Luo Xiu.
Priest Leonard slowly walked towards Luo Xiu.
