Chapter 196 You have arrived at the "Land of Exile" (5k2)
"Guardian of Falsehood" Amber gave Luo Xiu a sense of security.
After completing the contract with him, in Luo Xiu's panel, a new skill "Guardian of Falsehood" was added to the skill column of "Ancient Heritage".
It was a skill that could summon the "Guardian of Illusion Amber". The time it could manifest was closely related to the length of Luo Xiu's mana.
Now, after truly completing the contract with the "Guardian of Illusion", Luo Xiu does not intend to summon the "Guardian of Illusion" immediately to confirm his status.
Unlike the "Nightmare Wolf" and "Misty Raven" who are abyssal beasts, as the "Void Guardian" of the gods, there is not a clear master-slave relationship between him and the contractor.
They have their own will as "gods", and if they are dispatched at will without special matters, it may bring misfortune to themselves as contractors.
Luo Xiu thought about it, and he also understood the importance of "having a good relationship with the contracted gods". This is an important topic that all people who establish contracts with the gods must study.
Of course, if the contractor's hard power is completely superior to the "god", these restrictions or restrictions can be ignored to a large extent.
But Luo Xiu obviously hasn't reached this step yet. Therefore, after confirming the attributes, abilities and status of "Guardian of Illusion" Amber through the panel, Luo Xiu no longer summons him, but lets him quietly stay where he belongs. He recuperated in a piece of "illusion" gray space so that he could recover the spiritual energy consumed in the "test" and return to his previous perfect state more quickly.
For Luo Xiu, establishing a contract with the "Guardian of Falsehood" is only the first step.
Once he is fully prepared, Luo Xiu will put together the three "Fragments of King Isol's Crown" and go to the "Land of Exile" to face the exiled Knight Commander of the Protectorate, "Ride of Exile" Mordred.
When he thought of this, Luo Xiu raised his gaze slightly and glanced at the Intis cat curled up on the window sill, whose eyes were full of panic and yearning.
…
Intis witnessed the whole process, but said nothing.
But in her fiery eyes, everything she was thinking at this time was clearly revealed.
However, Intis did not see the true form of the "Guardian of Falsehood" with her own eyes. She was just enveloped in the gray mist from the ceremony arranged by the "Lord", and felt an extremely powerful feeling from it. , a terrifying spiritual surge that is extremely coercive.
That terrifying spirituality made Intis feel fear in his bones, as if he was facing some transcendent and great existence, making Intis, who only had three lives, feel longing, awe and fascination from the bottom of his heart.
However, that ancient and powerful aura disappeared when the gray mist dissipated. Intis saw her "Lord" and opened her eyes at the same time, and simultaneously felt the breathtaking aura from Luo Xiu's body. A spirituality that awes and aspires to.
"That's the 'god', Intis."
Suddenly, Luo Xiu smiled and said to Intis: "That is the ancient, real 'god'. And now, he will walk with me."
"..."
When Luo Xiu said this to Intis, Intis jumped off the ground lightly, and then turned into a human form after a burst of blue mist filled the air.
"Gods... you said 'gods'..."
Intis looked dull and kept muttering in his mouth.
The concept of "gods" is still too far away for Intis now.
But even so, Intis also knows some extraordinary common sense about "gods".
There are only two paths that Intis knows about that can summon the gods independently and establish a contract with them.
The "angels" summoned by the [Glory] destiny and the "gods" summoned by the [Lost] destiny are the two known destiny paths in the world that can directly summon "gods".
As for the "saints" with destiny paths such as [Supreme] and [Intellect], they obtain the "Heart of Gods" not to summon "gods", but to strengthen their "spiritual bodies" or "golems" ”, so that they have the power equivalent to the real “gods”.
"You...so, you summoned an 'angel'?"
Intis was stunned for a moment and asked Luo Xiu in a daze.
"However, you are not yet a Saint of [Glory]... nor are you [Lost]..."
"..."
"That's a neutral god, Intis."
Luo Xiu nodded and said in a gentle tone.
As the "Lord" and "Lord" of Intis, Luo Xiu simply took this opportunity to transmit some new knowledge to Intis:
"'The Guardian of Falsehood', that is what I summoned , and the gods of contract.”
"You will see Him in the future. At that time, you can just call Him 'Amber'."
"He is more inclined to [Lost], between the 'Angel' of [Glory] and the 'Devil' of [Abyss]."
Luo Xiu paused for a moment, observing Intis's reaction.
When he saw Intis listening intently with a yearning expression on his face, Luo Xiu continued:
"That's why I didn't summon 'angels' or 'devils'."
"It is easier for me to gain recognition from the [lost] gods who are neutral, exist in the eternal origins, and are spread across the broken space, and it is easier for me to control their power."
"And He, the 'Guardian of Falsehood' Amber, will be my hub for reconciling the 'Angels' and the 'Devils'. I will completely control them and let them become my power and part of the [Holy Abyss]. "
"..."
When he said this, Luo Xiu no longer extended further.
He knew that this information was enough for Intis to digest for a long time, and Intis' somewhat confused and confused eyes also proved this very well.
In fact...it was because of the legendary expertise "Lord of All Souls" that he procured from the "Ancestral Spirit Bishop" for free... Luo Xiu thought with some pleasure that now he is just a person with the fourth level of [Glory]. With the dual fate of [Abyss], he is not yet qualified to contract with "angels" and "devils", nor does he have a way to truly "reconcile" them.
But Luo Xiu always needs an explanation. From the perspective of the "Lord" of Intis and the leader of the "Holy Abyss", he can weave a reasonable explanation for his new power.
This is not only a necessary choice to maintain his own high-ranking image, but also allows his "dependents" and "shadow apostles" to have a clear reference route on the road to serving the "Holy Abyss".
"demon……"
Intis murmured, "You said 'devil'...a demon from the [Abyss]..."
"That's the power you gave me before... right? That's the [Abyss]..."
"..."
"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded.
At the same time, the corner of his mouth slightly raised a subtle arc, and said: "You should be lucky, Intis. This is the only thing I have told you. You are the first successor I selected, and you are the only qualified one." The person who receives the power of [The Abyss].”
"When you become a 'Demon Scholar' and promote it to the fourth level of [Abyss], I will teach you how to summon and contract a 'Demon'."
"..."
When he heard the words "Lord", a look of fanaticism flashed across Intis's face.
Although Intis currently does not know what kind of [Abyss] professional system "Demonologist" is, it does not prevent her from yearning for it.
Soon, under the guidance of the "Lord"'s words, Intis confirmed her new goal.
While becoming the "Shadow of Murder" in [Red Lotus], Intis will be promoted to the fourth level of destiny in [Abyss], which is also included in his own plan. She believed unswervingly, believing that this would make her stronger. After all, the power of the "Lord" was right in front of her, and that was exactly what she wanted to pursue.
"...I understand, Lord." Intis nodded and responded softly.
In front of the "Lord", she restrained her desires as much as possible, showed the humility and calmness that a "favorite" and a "subordinate" should have, and said in an enthusiastic and respectful voice:
"I am deeply grateful, Lord. I am grateful that you have chosen me."
"I will not let you down, and I will follow the path you expect."
"..."
"Very good, Intis." Luo Xiu nodded.
When he realized that the words explained to Intis had an effect, Luo Xiu said no more, but changed the subject and issued a new instruction to Intis: "Then, now, Intis.”
"I have a new task for you."
"..."
Intis raised her head, her green eyes met Luo Xiu's, waiting for her "Lord"'s next order.
"As usual, 'Faceless' Intis. I want you to inform the 'shadows' in Sina City and let them go to the 'promised place'."
Luo Xiu said in a low voice: "I have prepared a trial, a battle with an unprecedentedly powerful enemy."
"That will be the beginning of their transformation. I will give special rewards to those who survive that battle."
"..." "I understand, Lord." Intis nodded and said:
"Your will be obeyed."
…
Then, Intis transformed into a white two-tailed cat again and jumped out of the window. Her figure disappeared from the tree outside the window after a few leaps.
After Intis left, Luo Xiu began to make the final preparations before the decisive battle with "Ride of Exile" Mordred.
He first opened his character panel and added all the 67 free attribute points he had accumulated over a long period of time to "divinity".
Just in Luo Xiu's character panel, his "divine" attribute quickly jumped from 182 points to 249 points. At the same time, with the blessing of various specialties, his "health value", "mana value", "physical attack" and "spell attack" values have been greatly improved.
After that, Luo Xiu emptied all the souls stored in his mithril ring, and raised the "threat level" of "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir to the same "distortion +" as "Misty Raven" Wuye. Rating. At the same time, all their levels were raised to the threshold of "Distortion +" - the upper level limit of lv.40.
Finally, Luo Xiu drank a few bottles of buffing potions, applied several auxiliary holy spells to himself in advance to improve his status, and then used "meditation" to restore his mana to full, then left the "White Antelope Hotel" and went to Set off for the "promised place".
…
late at night.
Outside Sina City, the ruins of 'Xifeng Village'.
The "Desolated Church" in the center of the ruins is the location of the "Promised Place".
As a place where the first generation apostles of the "Holy Abyss" regularly gather, this place has not yet received the attention of the three orthodox people with extraordinary destiny, so Luo Xiu has no plans to change the location of the "promised place" for the time being.
The first person to come here was Intis, the "Faceless One".
She has followed Luo Xiu's instructions and issued the "Honored Lord" summons to all the "Holy Abyss Apostles" in Sina City.
And Intis, who had just stepped into the ruined church, walked very skillfully to the stone seat in the middle, took out the silk handkerchief she carried with her from her arms, and gently wiped off the dust on the surface of the stone seat.
Afterwards, she stood beside the stone seat like a sculpture, waiting for the arrival of other "shadows" with a calm and indifferent expression.
About ten minutes later, Intis sensed that two spiritual auras belonging to the [Holy Abyss] entered the ruins of Xifeng Village.
The "Twins" Emera and Elena arrived at the agreed place first. After making eye contact with Intis, they consciously stood on the left side.
Subsequently, "Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer and "Hunting Blade" Undertaker also arrived one after another and stood in the front position on the right side.
At the very end of the left and right sides, there were originally the positions of "Flame Burner" Byrne and "Dream Stealer" Pior. Byrne had died in the previous mission, but Pior was still performing steadily. Too late.
However, although Pior was the last to arrive at the "promised place", the deadline had not yet passed.
Facing the unkind gazes from Intis and the other four "Apostles of the Holy Abyss", Pior showed a sly smile on his face and consciously stood at the end on the right.
After all the "Apostles of the Holy Abyss" from Sina City were in place, they only felt that the surrounding air suddenly became gloomy and cold at a certain moment.
The next moment, a biting wind blew violently, accompanied by a piercing scream, which began to echo on the dilapidated beams of the ruined church.
The apostles' vision went dark, and a strange deep purple mist filled the air, suddenly blocking their sight.
But soon, their vision became clear again, but the scene in front of them had changed in some way.
Boozer was the first to see that on the stone seat in front of him, the vague figure of the Lord of the 'Holy Abyss', their Lord "Shura", was already sitting on the stone seat!
When they realized that the "Lord" had appeared without anyone noticing, all the apostles knelt down and saluted Luo Xiu.
While the apostles were saluting, extremely shocked expressions appeared on their faces facing the ground.
——It's different, completely different... "Hunting Blade" Undertaker was the first to realize that compared with the last time they met, the spirituality of the "Lord" was much deeper, darker, and more unpredictable. , he became stronger again...
The Undertaker secretly peeped at the reactions of the other shadows, and the faces of the others also showed expressions that were almost the same as his.
Luo Xiu waved his hand lightly, signaling his "shadows" to get up, and then said:
"My shadows, tell me."
"During my absence, the progress of your hunt for 'Black Fang' has been made."
This was exactly the task Luo Xiu had given his "shadows" before heading to Songyuan City.
At that time, Luo Xiu had not yet unlocked the hidden mission of "The Wail of the Dirty One" and asked the shadows to hunt Black Fang, just out of the consideration of eliminating the hidden crisis.
However, looking at it now, cutting off the minions of those "executors" in advance is indeed a very necessary measure, and Luo Xiu is also concerned about the completion of his "shadows" hunting Black Fang.
"Report to you, Lord."
Undertaker spoke first: "I hunted eight."
Eight? Luo Xiu was slightly startled. This was a pretty good record.
But on the surface, Luo Xiu did not show any fluctuation in his mood. He just nodded slightly and said:
"Well, it's very good."
Immediately afterwards, Werewolf Boozer also reported to Luo Xiu: "I only killed seven, but I also seriously injured two others."
For a moment, Luo Xiu seemed to feel the intense eye contact between Boozer and Undertaker.
In Luo Xiu's eyes, there was not much difference between killing eight "Black Teeth" and killing seven and seriously injuring two "Black Teeth". He then looked at Boozer and said approvingly: "Yes, that's pretty good too."
After that, it was Emera and Elena's turn to report. They bowed slightly to Luo Xiu and said in a voice that was so calm that it was almost emotionless:
"I'm sorry, we only buried three... Lord, you know, we are not good at similar assassinations."
"...Well, I know."
Luo Xiu didn't blame him, just nodded slightly and looked at Piol, who was in the last place.
"...I, Lord, you know that I...I am not good at this either."
Pior smiled timidly and said: "I'm very sorry, I only strangled two, and even spent three days recovering from this injury."
"……Um."
As a "dream stealer", that is not a profession that is good at fighting. Piol killed two Black Fangs, which was considered qualified in Luo Xiu's judgment.
"very good."
Luo Xiu then said, "You have lived up to my expectations, which is very good."
With that said, Luo Xiu stood up and slowly walked to the center of the apostles below.
Seeing the "Lord" stand up and leave, all the shadows hurriedly took a few steps back and bowed their bodies slightly, not daring to be on an equal footing with Luo Xiu.
When the five apostles in the audience and Intis formed a perfect circle around Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu slowly said: "I think the 'Faceless Man' has already told you. In this meeting, It is to give you the test of trial.”
"I need you to help me fight a battle and face an unprecedentedly powerful enemy together."
"And I also promise that you will benefit from it, get rewards from me, and have the qualifications to share the secret treasure with me."
"..."
When Luo Xiu said this, fanatic expressions appeared on the faces of all the "Apostles of the Holy Abyss".
"We will follow you to the death, Lord."
Boozer was the first to declare, and the other shadows also agreed.
Seeing this situation, Luo Xiu no longer said any more words, but took out the three "Fragments of King Isol's Crown" that had been prepared from his bracelet.
All preparations were complete, and the apostles were already within the teleportation range. Luo Xiu no longer waited, raised the three fragments in his hand above his head, and completed the final splicing of them.
——Buzz!
A sharp whistling sound floated in everyone's ears.
The scene in front of them disappeared in an instant, and the fierce wind and sand immediately blocked everyone's sight.
【You have arrived at the "Land of Exile"】
In Luo Xiu's panel, a brand new prompt box shone with a dark yellow luster and appeared in front of him.
