Chapter 80 "The Sin-Purifying Priest" Anthony
Red Maple City, Glory Church.
The clergyman here is a priest with the second destiny of [Glory].
After confirming the identities of Luo Xiu and his party, the pastor led them to a small courtyard deep in the church.
Captain Antony, he was sitting by the fountain of the "Valkyrie Statue", reading quietly.
It was a middle-aged man with brown curly hair and a gloomy temperament like a poet.
He carries a steel warhammer of the same model as Connor's on his back, and the reflection of his scales flows under the velvet robe, which to some extent reveals his profession.
Through the detection of the panel, Luo Xiu also confirmed his conjecture.
——Anthony is a [Glorious] third-level destiny, and his occupation is "Sin-Purifying Great Shepherd".
This is one of the professions that can be chosen by the "Holy Light Priest" with a second life path, and further up the promotion route. It further enhances the physical output intensity of the "Priest".
Not only that, Anthony also has a side career.
He is also a "trainee priest" in the first level of [Glory]!
In the game "God's Destiny", the indigenous NPCs can not only take on one main profession, they can also practice the secondary profession of "second destiny", or use other professions in their own destiny as " Sub-professional" practice.
After quickly browsing Anthony's panel, Luo Xiu was thinking quickly at the same time.
"Captain Anthony will choose 'trainee priest' as his second career path...well, there should be Leonard's reason for this." Luo Xiu came to the conclusion.
After all, under the strict selection process of "Priest" Leonard, the normal second-level destiny "consecrated priest" has no chance to join the "Holy Judge".
Perhaps it is for this reason that Captain Anthony wants to take up a part-time job.
…
"You are here."
When he noticed Luo Xiu, Connor and Pamier entering the courtyard, Anthony closed the book in his hand and stood up with a smile.
"Pamier, Connor, long time no see..."
Anthony greeted them and then looked at Luo Xiu.
"You are the new 'ordained priest', Rossio Carlos, right? I have heard about it from Priest Leonard." Anthony greeted with a smile on his face.
"Yes, I am Luo Xiu Carlos."
Luo Xiu nodded slightly, "Hello, Captain Anthony, may you shine forever..."
Anthony's eyes lingered on Luo Xiu for a long time, then he nodded and said:
"You are indeed a unique 'ordained priest'."
"Now I sincerely feel that Priest Leonard's vision is correct."
"..."
Extraordinary beings like Anthony, who have a third level of destiny or above, can detect Luo Xiu's intensity range simply by virtue of their superior perception.
Although they do not have a data panel that is detailed to "numeric values", for attributes such as "physique", "agility", etc., they also have self-created attributes equivalent to "the vitality contained in the body", "the reaction power contained in the muscles", etc. concept.
Anthony felt the majestic vitality coming from Luo Xiu's body.
He quickly understood why Luo Xiu was called a "special priest" by Leonard in his letter, and why Luo Xiu was the only one who could win the approval of the priest with vicious eyes.
"Welcome to join you, Luo Xiu."
Anthony then smiled and said:
"In normal times, I should hold a welcome party for you to join..."
"But now is a special period, and we still have the Holy Inquisitor's mission to perform..."
"So, I hope you can enter the working state of the 'Holy Judge' as soon as possible and cooperate with us to complete this 'judgment'..."
Immediately, Anthony added:
"Don't worry, Luo Xiu. After the mission is completed, I will make up for this welcome party for you."
Others are pretty good...
Luo Xiu couldn't help but think this, and at the same time he saw Connor coming over and whispering in his ear: "Don't believe what he said, he also said the same thing when he borrowed money but didn't pay it back... "
"..."
Luo Xiu was speechless for a moment, thought for a while, and nodded politely to Anthony.
"OK."
…
In the church courtyard, in an airtight room. Anthony sat at the head of a round table, with a stack of files in front of him.
"Then, let me state the current situation."
Anthony said with a serious face, "Our enemy is a secret organization called the 'Ancient Hermitage'. They suddenly appeared in Red Maple City because of an unexplored 'ancient existence'."
"I have entrusted Priest Leonard to tell you about the matters related to the 'Primordial Monastery'."
Anthony stretched out his hand, pulled out a file with his fingers and spread it out, passing it to Pamier, Connor and Luo Xiu to pass around to each other.
This is an investigation report on the "Ancient Hermitage" and the "Ancient Seal".
The rough record is that the seal of the "ancient existence" existing somewhere in Red Maple City suddenly became loose for some unknown reason, and the escaping breath was sensed by the people of the "Ancient Hermitage".
Sensing the aura of the ancient existence, the "Ancient Hermitage" immediately sneaked into Red Maple City and searched for traces of this "ancient existence".
However, they had not yet been able to find the entrance to the seal. After searching to no avail, the [Lost] Hermits adopted a more radical method of obtaining information.
They sneaked into the palace of the city lord, slaughtered a group of palace guards guarding the treasury, and stole many key information such as maps and a large amount of money from the city lord of Lodiv.
…
While everyone was circulating it, Luo Xiu had an inexplicable idea in his mind that "the Ancient Hermitage is an ally."
"so."
Luo Xiu asked, "The Lord of Suffering... ah no, the Lord of Lodiv City, he is stingy with his money, so he asked us to 'judge' this group of heretics so that we can help him find his money?"
"..." Anthony was stunned, looked at Luo Xiu with a confused look, and asked:
"Do you have any grudge against the Lord of Lodiv?"
"Kind of."
"..."
Feeling that he had asked unnecessary questions, Captain Anthony "cough" twice and said: "Ahem... I support resolving personal grudges on the spot, but this must be done after completing the mission."
"Now, the common enemy between us and the City Lord's Mansion is the Ancient Hermitage. This gathering is to convey this information to you in advance."
Afterwards, Captain Anthony relieved himself of his serious state and said to Luo Xiu and the other three people: "Okay. You have just arrived, and this first meeting ends here."
"The church has arranged accommodation for you, so you can take a short rest. When night falls, we will go to the identified pagan strongholds to explore their details..."
After saying that, Captain Anthony let out a long yawn.
Before Luo Xiu and the others could respond, Anthony walked out of the room.
…
Luo Xiu, Pamier, and Connor also dispersed immediately, and Luo Xiu went to the prepared bedroom in the church.
The familiar church-style decoration came into view. Luo Xiu was lying on the hardwood bed, thinking about the information about the "Ancient Hermitage" and the Lord of "Lodiv".
Luo Xiu recalled over and over again that there was indeed no memory of this secret organization and the Lord of "Lodiv" in his previous life.
This shows that they have indeed failed to stir up any disturbance worthy of their attention, and it should not be considered a big deal.
But, just when he was thinking.
Luo Xiu suddenly felt a burning heat coming from his chest.
He then unbuttoned his lapel, took out and opened the handful of cloth bags in his arms.
This is where the fever comes from.
Opening the cloth bag, what was sealed inside was the "Fragment of King Isol's Crown" taken from the armor mound of "Immortal Rider" Greville.
Above the fragments of the crown, a strange spiritual surge was coming out, as if being attracted by something.
Immediately, a new panel prompt appeared in front of Luo Xiu.
[King Isol’s crown fragment (1/4), resonated]
[Trigger hidden mission: The End of Hesitation (Hard Difficulty)]
【……】
"Is this...the resonance of the same origin seal?
‘Ancient Hermitage’…ancient seal…”
Luo Xiu rubbed the crown fragment in his hand, thoughtfully.
