Chapter 126 The Surge of Judgment and the “Adventors” (4k8)
The pupils of "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer's eyes gradually dimmed.
He vaguely heard strange whispers coming from the depths of his soul.
And the "nightmare" that was playing on a loop in his mind seemed to be becoming illusory and disappearing with this strange whisper.
For Boozer, having that "nightmare" dissipate is his greatest salvation.
"——Save me, save me..."
Boozer muttered.
"——Please...save me..."
…
The brainwashing of Boozer's "crazy piety" went quite smoothly.
Boozer gradually lost consciousness and soon passed out again.
Luo Xiu then drew out the "White Oak Staff", completed the chanting of "Healing" and "White Oak's Blessing", and then healed Boozer.
The glow of gold and pure white intersects, turning into pure life energy and pouring into Boozer's body. The horrific scars on Boozer's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
During the panel detection of "Werewolf" Boozer, his state has moved away from "near death" and has returned to moderate trauma.
After a not too short wait, "Werewolf" Boozer slowly woke up.
At this time, Boozer's eyes were showing a tired gloom, and an imperceptible golden light suddenly flashed through them, as proof of the "crazy and pious" recipient.
In Boozer's character panel, a new entry has also appeared in the "Status" column.
——"Crazy believer (stable, permanent)"!
This means that "Werewolf" Boozer has officially become the second "crazy believer" subdued by Luo Xiu, and has become the third "shadow" of Luo Xiu.
Boozer slowly opened his eyes.
He looked at everything around him blankly. The "intruder" in his field of vision was standing calmly in front of him.
However, at this time, Boozer no longer had any hostility toward the person in front of him.
In fact, when Boozer looked at the other person, he felt the impulse of "longing for", "revering", and "wanting to kneel down" deep in his heart.
In Boozer's mind, two words were engraved in the depths of his soul like fire in the night.
——[Holy Abyss] and [Shura]!
"I...I am..."
Boozer, who had just woken up from a near-death coma, was mumbling inarticulately.
"I am 'Bloodthirsty Werewolf' Boozer..."
"I am... Shengyuan... Boozer..."
"..."
Seeing that "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer was gradually "reshaping" his own understanding, Luo Xiu nodded imperceptibly.
"-Boozer."
Luo Xiu then spoke in a low voice:
"I am 'Shura', and I am the Lord of the 'Holy Abyss'."
"—And you, answer me. Who are you?"
"..."
When Luo Xiu finished speaking, Boozer showed a confused look on his face. But this confusion only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.
"I am the apostle of [Holy Abyss]...the apostle..."
Boozer muttered. His eyes gradually returned from dull to bright.
"I am [Holy Abyss] 'Apostle' Boozer! I know who I am, I know..."
Boozer looked across the way, at the man wearing a "black patterned mask" under a large cloak, and the expression on his face gradually became fanatical.
It was an irresistible instinct coming from the depths of his soul to follow the person in front of him.
"You, you are [Shura], you are my light of guidance, the fire of salvation..."
Boozer struggled to stand up. His huge body had not yet completely healed. The scabs on his wounds had cracked again with the violent movement, and bright red blood flowed out like a spring.
The next moment, Boozer was half on his knees, kneeling in front of Luo Xiu.
Boozer raised his right hand and showed a gesture of "dedication" to Luo Xiu. He said:
"——You are... the new 'lord' of our half-wolf people."
"——I swear my loyalty to you in the name of 'Werewolf Chief' Boozer. I and the 'Zagon' tribe behind me will regard you as the new master..."
"..."
Luo Xiu seemed to hear an unexpected answer.
——‘Zagun’ tribe.
Luo Xiu didn't know much about "Werewolf" Boozer's life experience. The original intention of coming to conquer him this time was also because of the strong combat power shown by Boozer in his previous life.
But now, Luo Xiu feels that he seems to be...
There are other gains.
Luo Xiu was thinking quickly in his mind, and at the same time he looked at the character panel of 'Werewolf' Boozer.
Sure enough, in Boozer's panel, his full name should be...
——"Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer Zagon!
The "Zagon" tribe should be a large werewolf settlement represented by Boozer's back. And this settlement is headed by Boozer...
In other words, he might have accidentally stabbed the werewolf's den.
This was information that no one knew about in Luo Xiu's previous life.
Luo Xiu's thoughts were spinning. He was wearing the "Black Pattern Mask" and could not see any change in his expression from the outside.
Luo Xiu looked at Boozer who was half-kneeling on the ground, and then said in a low voice:
"Very good, Boozer. You have such an understanding, which is worthy of praise..."
"Then, now, I will give you the first task."
After hearing this, Boozer raised his head and said with a determined and pious expression: "Please show me, my lord."
"...this cave."
Luo Xiu then said slowly: "As the stronghold of the original 'Beast Cult', I want you to clean up this place. Then, you will still stay in the Beast Cult as the 'Warrior Captain', waiting for me to issue new orders."
Luo Xiu gave Boozer the same task as "Burner" Byrne. Boozer and Byrne had the same reaction on their faces.
When Boozer looked at the corpses of those former orc "warrior men", there was no longer an angry expression on his face, only emotionless indifference.
Those were not Boozer's tribe, but orc warriors who also belonged to the "half-orc" race. Even though he was not brainwashed by "Crazy Piety", Boozer was not greatly touched by their deaths. For Boozer, who is somewhere between a "plunderer" and a "mercenary", "emotion" is a very redundant product.
"——I will obey your will."
Boozer finally said.
…
Sina City, White Antelope Hotel.
At midnight, Luo Xiu had returned to his room in the hotel.
Luo Xiu locked the windows and doors and lay quietly on the bed, taking stock of the gains from this trip.
——Conquered two extraordinary beings with "three-fold destiny", and "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer is a rare super combat power; in addition, he also killed those heretics with first- and second-fold destiny, and looted A lot of gold coins and medicines were obtained, and a harvest of rich experience leeks was harvested. At the same time, Boozer swore allegiance on behalf of the 'Zagon' tribe behind him, which was also an unexpected joy.
Also, in the challenging situation, he defeated "Burner" Byrne and "Bloodthirsty" Boozer, and at the same time satisfied the triggering conditions of "Scorching Soul", allowing his "divine" attribute and " The "Physique" attribute has been slightly improved!
This is the beginning of Tianhu.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also removed a "token" that could prove his identity from "The Flame Burner" Byrne and "The Bloodthirsty" Boozer. After a few days, he went to see Priest Leonard to report that he had successfully completed the task of "adjudicating heresy".
That can accumulate one's contribution points in the "Holy Court" church in exchange for some precious scrolls and books belonging to the "Holy Treasures".
Although Priest Leonard has stated that he will provide him with certain resource support within his ability, his authority as a "priest" is ultimately limited. And Luo Xiu had a clear premonition that he might take over the position of the priest in the near future.
Previously, Priest Leonard had said to Luo Xiu, "My time is running out."
This made Luo Xiu feel concerned.
And this priest indeed has the intention to train himself as his successor.
By then, if I really take over the position of Priest Leonard, I will have to rely on myself for many things.
And since the "Red Maple City" Rodive fell into law.
Luo Xiu was already aware of the hidden undercurrent.
Those [Supreme] people have not yet sent anyone to the church in Sina City to express anything to their "Holy Judge" because of the Lodiv City Lord incident;
As for the "Ancient Hermitage" The power behind it, a behemoth like the "Holy Tower Theocracy", seems to be indifferent to this.
This isn’t that the storm has disappeared, it’s just that it’s still brewing.
Luo Xiu knew very well that hidden organizations such as the "Ancient Hermitage" must be closely related to the secret sect directly under the Holy See of the Holy Tower Theocracy.
As for the strange turmoil before the outbreak of the "Judgment War", there were many figures from the activities of secret members of the "Dark Principality" and the "Holy Tower Theocracy".
And the members of these secret organizations, everything they do has only one purpose.
——For the "trial war"!
There is less than half a year left before this protracted war breaks out.
Luo Xiu could already feel a strong sense of crisis.
And on the eve of the outbreak of the "Trial War".
That's the most dangerous time.
In the previous life, the trigger for the outbreak of the "Judgment War" was the horrific incident known as the "Night of Wailing".
——A duke, three marquis, and a dozen earls of the Nolan Empire had their hearts and souls stolen overnight, and they were wailing all day long.
On the morning of the third day, the bodies of these nobles were found in their respective mansions. They died miserably, with black and purple erosion lines spreading all over their bodies, indicating that the voodoo curse broke out and died.
This is the work of members of the "Lich Order" from the Holy Tower Theocracy.
At the same time, various abnormal and terrorist riots broke out in various parts of the Nolan Empire - the "September Plague", the "October Famine", the horrific assassinations of the "Black Knife Incident", and the "Bloody Declaration" of border independence. Sports, "Rolling Stone City Sacrifice"...
At that time, the Nolan Empire was already on the verge of collapse.
And all of this is the result of the simultaneous outbreak and joint promotion of hidden organizations affiliated with the "Holy Tower Theocracy" and the "Dark Principality" that are deeply rooted in the Nolan Empire in a very short period of time.
Later, when the time was right, the [Dark Principality] launched a "War of Revenge" against the Nolan Empire!
This is the reason why the "Judgment War" broke out.
Without the appearance of the "Adventors", the Nolan Empire would have almost collapsed.
And those "coming ones" are "players"!
They were "summoned" and randomly descended on every corner of the "Apocalypse World". Fanor Continent, "Broken Continent" and even "Storm Continent"... In such an instant, they descended on all parts of the world like projections from the sky.
The existence that "summons" the players is not the high-ranking people of the "Nolan Empire", or even any force in the Fanor continent.
——But the "Ring of Apocalypse", the sky island of the gods!
The emergence of the "Adventors" is the "Pandora's Box" that is finally opened by the most loyal followers of the [Balance] destiny of the Ring of Apocalypse, who are absolutely impossible to change their beliefs.
——Since then, "Adventors" have spread all over the world of Apocalypse. From the beginning, they were the "saviors" who had high hopes, and in the end they became the "natural disasters" that all local forces were afraid of!
Luo Xiu fell into deep thought.
Since Luo Xiu traveled to this world, all known world backgrounds are indeed consistent with those in his previous life.
As for existences like "players", Luo Xiu's intuition told him that they would inevitably appear in the near future.
——As "Adventors"!
Luo Xiu looked at the [Countdown to the start of internal testing] on his panel and fell into deep thought.
[Countdown to the start of internal testing: 153 days and 4 hours...]
Luo Xiu had vaguely guessed that at the moment the countdown reaches zero, the players will descend on this land as "adventors" just like they did in the previous life.
If the original plot trend in "God's Destiny" is followed, when the believers of "Balance" activate the "Ring of Apocalypse", the emergence of "Adventors" will be an inevitable result.
If Luo Xiu can prevent the believers of [Balance] from activating the "Ring of Apocalypse", he may be able to stop the process of the player's arrival.
But Luo Xiu now does not have this ability, and he has no reason to do so.
Because the appearance of "players" is a great benefit and advantage to Luo Xiu!
Only Luo Xiu is the one who truly knows the nature of the "players". Only he truly understands how to condense and forge this scattered power in the early days into the sharpest sword!
"Adventurer", that will be the power that Luo Xiu can truly use to compete with all the giant forces in Fanor Continent.
However, before the "Judgment War" actually broke out and the "Adventors" actually appeared.
Luo Xiu must become as strong as possible, and establish his own influence and power as soon as possible both inside and outside the "Holy Court", so as to be able to accommodate those players with "righteous" and "evil" tendencies.
In the name of "Church" and "Holy Abyss", we fully accept the light and darkness in the hearts of players.
Luo Xiu was thinking secretly, calculating how he should spend the less than half a year he had left.
As he thought, he gradually fell into sleep with his tired body.
But before falling asleep, Luo Xiu had already made up his mind.
In the next two days, Luo Xiu will continue to clear out and hunt those "pagan strongholds" and absorb the number of his "crazy believers" to about six.
This is the most basic combat power.
"Holy Abyss" is the tentative name of the secret organization he is about to establish. This is the "original apostle".
…
At the same time, the main city of Songyuan.
The cyan moonlight casts a faint glow on the eaves of thousands of households. When the leisure wind blows through the trees, the swaying branches make a sound of "rustling, rustling". For people at night, it is a melodious melody that can calm the mind.
A white cat was lying lazily on a branch, swaying up and down with the branches.
Intis Fognier, she has just arrived in the main city of Songyuan.
Although her Lord is now the deacon and inquisitor of the Holy Court Church, this is not enough to provide her with a legal identity certificate that can only be issued by the [Supreme] Law Office.
However, Intis naturally had other ways to sneak into the city without being noticed and arrive at the most central block quietly.
Just opposite Intis, the majestic building shrouded in night still reflected a dark golden light under the slight light of the moonlight.
It was a glorious facade made of pure gold. Behind the facade was the purpose of Intis' visit this time.
——"Bank of El Dorado"!
Previously, Luo Xiu had given the emblem symbolizing the Manston family to Intis, and Intis's mission was to find the Manston family and complete the connection with him.
This is a task that is not difficult.
Intis thought so.
…
The next day, morning.
On the broad street in front of the "Golden State Bank", a beautiful scenery suddenly appeared.
She was a girl with a delicate body but an elegant temperament.
The long, silky silver-grey hair hangs down the girl's shoulders, and her delicate, doll-like face is stunning enough without any makeup.
The girl wore a layered tulle dress and walked towards the door of the Golden State Bank with broken steps.
At this time, it was the time when the "El Dorado Bank" just opened its doors in the morning.
When the waiter noticed the girl, he walked towards her with a smile on his face, bowed slightly and asked:
"This beautiful lady. What can I do for you?"
Seeing the waiter approaching, the girl stopped.
"Please help me and notify Lord Manston for me."
There was a calm smile on the girl's face and she said:
"My brother asked me to come to discuss important cooperation matters with Lord Manston."
