Chapter 204 Promotion Assessment and Arrangement
Afterwards, Luo Xiu and Leonard chatted for a while about some details and the process of "adjudicating" Black Fang in Songyuan City, and then prepared to say goodbye to Leonard.
This time he came to the "Holy Inquisition" to find Leonard, and his main purpose was actually to inform the old priest that he had been officially promoted to the "fourth level of destiny".
For priests who have reached this level of destiny, priesthoods such as "deacon" and "holy inquisitor" are no longer enough to accommodate their talents. They should report to their "former superiors". This is also within the "holy court" system. A necessary step before promotion.
Before Luo Xiu officially served as the "priest" of the church, Leonard had already raised the salary to the highest level for Luo Xiu within the scope of his authority.
Luo Xiu's original salary was fifty gold coins per week. Leonard temporarily raised Luo Xiu's salary to one hundred and fifty gold coins per week based on the standard of "candidate priest".
When he officially takes up the position of "priest", his salary will be doubled, and it will be even more if he goes to Red Maple City to "host the ceremony".
This can be considered a relatively stable income, Luo Xiu thought to himself.
Although the income from investing in the "Golden Country Bank" is much lower, it can also be used as a minimum salary to ensure that your normal capital flow will not be broken and will not affect the operation of the "Sacred Abyss" and its own Extraordinary planning and daily life.
In Leonard's room, Luo Xiu watched Leonard finish the application letter in his own hand.
In the letter, Leonard described in detail the experiences of the clergyman "Roseux Carlos" from joining the church to being promoted to the fourth destiny of "Judge of Holy Glory", and mentioned it in key positions. I have the intention to let Luo Xiu go to Red Maple City and serve as the 'host of the grand ceremony'.
Until Leonard stamped the holy seal, put the application envelope into the envelope, and then stamped it with the gold and fire seal, the application letter had a very high priority and would be given priority by the diocese.
"Afterwards, I will deliver this application letter to the church messenger."
Leonard said, "The journey to Songyuan City and Shengting Diocese will take more than a day at the fastest. After about three days, they will send out deacons to review whether you have the qualifications to 'preside over the high ceremony.'" qualifications."
"When it comes to the assessment of the appointment of a 'officiant', the diocese should send out a senior deacon, which may be quite strict. However, I believe in your strength."
"..."
This was the final ending of the conversation between Luo Xiu and Leonard.
After that, Luo Xiu exited the room and went to the bishop's seat of the church bishop Fabian.
…
Sina City Church, the inner courtyard of the Glorious Church, and the Holy See of the Bishop.
Just like the purpose of talking to Leonard, it was also necessary to tell the old bishop personally about Luo Xiu's promotion to the "Fourth Destiny".
This is what Leonard means. Although Fabian is in a bad state now, Fabian still has to make the final decision on all important matters in the church.
After getting Fabian's permission, Luo Xiu went straight to Fabian's room and saw the old bishop half lying on the bed.
Bishop Fabian, his face has become paler than when we met before.
Fabion's body is getting weaker and weaker due to the erosion of gray blood. Even if he can use the power of "brilliance" or holy magic to delay the process of erosion... But if the effect of gray blood erosion cannot be completely eradicated, he will eventually suffer The day when flesh and blood revolted and the body disintegrated.
"Ah... Luo Xiu, you are back."
When he saw Luo Xiu, a faint smile appeared on Fabian's pale face.
"I...ahem...I heard Leonard say that you asked him for leave..."
"..."
"Yes, Bishop."
Luo Xiu nodded and said, "But what I have to do has been completed. I think maybe the church needs me more now."
"Ahem...Okay, good boy..."
Fabian coughed a few times, with a gentle expression on his face, "So... why did you come to me this time... for?"
"..."
Luo Xiu didn't speak, but silently took out a letter from his arms.
That was another copy of the letter of application Leonard had written to the diocese before, and it was given to Bishop Fabion.
When Leonard asked Luo Xiu to find Bishop Fabian, he also asked Luo Xiu to take this letter to him.
It would save a lot of energy and time than describing the process of promotion to the fourth level to Bishop Fabian again.
…
Fabian took the letter from Luo Xiu, opened the envelope and started browsing.
As he read on, Fabion's originally calm face gradually showed a complex expression of surprise, shock, puzzlement and confusion.
But as a "fifth-level destiny" bishop, Fabian, when he learned from the letter that Luo Xiu had been promoted to the fourth-level destiny in less than three months, his reaction was calmer than Leonard's. Many do not rise to the level of self-doubt.
After reading the letter, Fabian folded the letter and stuffed it back into the envelope. He looked at Luo Xiu again with his deep and peaceful eyes and said slowly:
"Leonard's letter... You have reported this to Leonard first."
"And now, Leonard's application submitted to the diocese requires my final confirmation..."
"My child, you really... exceeded my expectations again. I think Leonard must have been extremely shocked when he learned that you were promoted to the 'Fourth Destiny'."
"You can be more proud of this, kid. It's a miracle of a moment's grace."
"..."
While saying this, Fabian returned the letter to Luo Xiu and said:
"Son, of course I agree with this. I agree with your promotion to the position of 'priest' in the church, and I have no objection to your willingness to go to Red Maple City to serve as 'host of the high priest'... In fact, as long as your abilities are sufficient to do them, I will not Objection."
After a pause, a faint sadness appeared on Fabian's face, and he said worriedly:
"It's just that, Red Maple City...that city located on the border, at the junction of the empire and the principality, have you really thought carefully about the dangers you may face in the future?"
"The bishops above the original diocese, as well as myself, all want Leonard to go to Red Maple City to hold this priesthood... After all, he is experienced enough and can lead the 'wartime church' to make the right decisions at critical moments. decision……"
"As for Leonard, who was born as a Templar, he is also the most powerful among all the priests of the Sina City Church..."
"You are still too young, Luo Xiu. You do not have as much experience as Leonard, nor are you as proficient in spiritual control of the 'fourfold destiny' as he is... To be honest, I am very worried."
"..."
"Don't worry, Bishop."
Luo Xiu nodded slightly and said, "I know that I am inexperienced, but I think... the priest still needs to preside over the important tasks of the 'Holy Judgment', and I want to try my best to share some of it with him."
"Please also testify, Bishop, that I will pass the assessment of the diocesan deacon to prove that I am capable enough to shoulder these responsibilities. This will definitely be a better result for me and the priest."
"..."
Fabian was silent for a moment. He looked at Luo Xiu again with his deep eyes. After staring for a long time, he slowly said:
"...Okay, Luo Xiu."
"I promise you, I will 'witness' all this, and you can let go and do what you think is right."
"..."
"Thank you, Bishop." Luo Xiu nodded slightly and said solemnly to Fabian:
"Please believe, Bishop. In the light of the Holy Light, I will never let you down or let down your trust in me."
…
It was already noon when I came out of Bishop Fabian's seat.
Luo Xiu completed his report to Leonard and Bishop Fabian, and his schedule in the church could come to an end for the time being.
Now Luo Xiu will not have any formal mission arrangements from the church until the "diocese deacon" arrives three days later, which is equivalent to extending the three-day holiday in disguise.
This allows him to make some subsequent schedule arrangements more calmly.
Previously, Luo Xiu expressed to Leonard that he wanted to succeed him in Red Maple City and serve as the "host of the ceremony" for the soon-to-be-established "Wartime Church". This is also an important part of Luo Xiu's follow-up arrangements.
After all, the future Red Maple City will be the "player's main city". Luo Xiu will naturally not let go of the opportunity to seize the high ground of the "Wartime Church" early.
According to Luo Xiu's memory in his previous life, Leonard was not the 'host of the ceremony' for the original 'Wartime Church' in Red Maple City.
He will receive a diocese transfer order and prepare to go to Red Maple City to take up a post, perhaps because he and Anthony solved the Lodiv incident before. "It really has a profound impact..." Luo Xiu thought to himself.
But this is a good thing. At least the Glorious Church in Red Maple City is still under the jurisdiction of the Sina City Church. If he or Leonard go to serve as the 'host of the high ceremony', it will not fundamentally change this. .
Judging from the current situation, the "Wartime Church" in Red Maple City will not be directly removed from the jurisdiction of the Sina City Church and operate independently as a special church like in the previous life.
And if it is really divided into "independence", being able to serve as "hosting the grand ceremony" is enough as insurance... Luo Xiu is planning in advance for this.
…
Luo Xiu was thinking about many possibilities for the future, and he walked towards the direction of the 'Sacred Reserve Hall'.
He now holds Leonard's latest certification and is a "quasi-priest" of the church. He no longer needs special permission to enter and exit the Holy Treasure Hall.
Luo Xiu then went straight into the Holy Treasure Hall, took out several architectural drawings in the style of the 'Holy Court', browsed them briefly, memorized the contents, and then put the drawings back to their original positions.
Later, Luo Xiu went to the storage hall where the sacred scrolls were stored, and selected several sacred scrolls suitable for the priest profession and the 'fourth life path'.
After taking them out of the display shelf and storing them in the bracelet, he took out twenty "blank scrolls" from the storage hall next door where materials were stored, and walked towards the door with these "harvests" loaded with them.
Returning to the main entrance of the Holy Treasure Hall, Luo Xiu immediately left the information that he had taken out these sacred scrolls and blank scrolls to the priest responsible for guarding here. This was a necessary record.
The priest on duty carefully browsed the list that Luo Xiu had taken, and said respectfully to Luo Xiu:
"May your holy light shine forever, Lord Luo Xiu. I hope these scrolls can really help you."
"Thank you for your blessings, and may you be bathed in holy light forever."
Luo Xiu nodded lightly, responded with a smile to the priest on duty, then turned and left the Holy Treasure Hall.
…
Afterwards, Luo Xiu walked along the nearest path to the door of the church, left the church, and walked towards the Triumph Square.
Suddenly, he felt a tremor in the spirituality he had left on the "fog shadow" of the "Misty Raven" on the foggy night.
It was a communication request from a certain apostle, waiting for the "Lord" to access his spiritual transmission.
Luo Xiu then raised his arm and gently pressed his fingers on his forehead, "connecting" to the spirituality.
"...Greetings, Lord."
A low and rough voice reached Luo Xiu's ears. It was the voice of the "violent swordsman" Bagri.
"According to your order, I will report to you the recent developments of 'Executioner' Koros and the 'Dark Camp' he is in charge of."
"Yeah." Luo Xiu responded to Bagri on a spiritual level, "Just tell me, I'm listening."
"Okay, Lord."
Bagry's voice remained low:
"Three days ago, according to your instructions, I conveyed the news to Koros that the 'Fragment of Pages' was in the hands of the 'Purity Order', and that the target priest was a member of the 'Purity Order'."
"Koros believed it and had no unnecessary doubts. Then, he asked me to find the 'Hidden Omniscient', get in touch with one of their 'Hidden Elders' Babron, and asked me to tell him about the 'Purity Order' 'The thing about 'broken pages'."
"The elder Babram, after learning about "Said's Notes", he showed quite a surprise."
"His original words at the time were, 'Said actually left a handbook, and that handbook actually fell into the hands of Kross. This is our [intellectual] property and should never fall into the hands of outsiders. '..."
"Baberon seemed to be quite dissatisfied. He blamed Koros for hiding the matter for so long. As an 'ally', Babron believed that Koros should have told him this earlier."
"Subsequently, Babylon asked me to tell him back to Koros, telling him that the 'Hidden Omniscient One' agreed to Koros's request and would help them deal with the 'Purity Order', but there were additional conditions."
"And the additional condition is - 'Koros needs to pay a large employment fee to the Hidden Omniscient and return to them the original "Saed's Codex"... But because it was Koros who found the code first , Babylon then allowed Koros to keep a copy, but did not allow him to spread the contents of the code. "
"Cross seemed troubled by this, and he did not agree with the conditions proposed by Babylon."
"In the end, Koros and Babylon reached a new agreement - after taking back the few fragmentary pages from the 'Pure Order', Koros will share the codex with the 'Hidden Omniscient One', but the ownership of the codex will It’s still in the hands of Koros, and Koros is willing to pay a higher fee for it.”
"Baberon represents the 'Hidden Omniscient One' and agreed to what Koros proposed."
"And just yesterday, the 'Tushou' and 'Black Fang' led by Koros, in collaboration with the warlocks of the 'Hidden Omniscient', had found a large stronghold of the 'Purity Order' nearby and started a battle with them. The first confrontation."
"In this first confrontation, each of the three parties suffered damage, but in the end, Koros and the 'Hidden Omniscient' still destroyed the large stronghold, but they did not find what they wanted from the stronghold of the 'Pure Order' thing."
"...That's all I want to report to you, Lord."
"..."
"Very well, Bagry."
Through spiritual transmission, Luo Xiu affirmed Bagri.
"Keep an eye on Koros carefully and report any important news to me at any time."
"...I obey your will, Lord."
When Bagri's voice finally heard these words, Luo Xiu broke off the spiritual link with him.
After "hanging up" the communication with Bagri, Luo Xiu's face suddenly showed an expression of gloating.
With his own encouragement, "Executioner" Kross and the "Purity Order" actually started fighting...
And their fight even involved the "Hidden Omniscient", which was an unexpected bonus!
When the horn of the "Judgment War" really blows, whether it is the "Dark Principality", the "Hidden Omniscient One" or the "Pure Order", they are all enemies of the Nolan Empire...
Luo Xiu was thinking about this in his mind. His current apparent camp was the 'Holy Court', and he was on the side of the empire for the time being.
As for the enemies fighting among themselves now, they are all wasting away their strength and alleviating the resistance that they may encounter in the future.
Luo Xiu kept Koros's movements in mind, and then sent a communication to Intis using the ability of "Family Crest".
After the outgoing spirituality was connected and Luo Xiu "heard" Intis's voice on the spiritual level, he issued a new command to Intis:
"Intis, I will use the spiritual method to , to instill some images of drawings in you.”
"I need you to reproduce them on paper and find an architect with a clean identity to plan and build them in the 'Forgotten Royal Court'."
"Before you find the architect, I need you to pay attention to the movements of other apostles. To expand the power and scale of the 'Holy Abyss', the native forces behind those apostles also need to pay more attention."
"...I will arrange the follow-up matters later. Intis, this is your current task."
"..."
"Your will be obeyed, Lord."
Intis responded to Luo Xiu's order at the spiritual level, and then Luo Xiu interrupted the link.
He has no other arrangements for the time being. Among the relatively important matters, the only one that he has not sent people to investigate is the hidden mission [Disappearing Gravel] entrusted by Mir.
But now Luo Xiu has no idea how to complete this task.
For this "hell-difficulty" hidden task, he was not prepared to leave it to his apostles to collect information easily, so as not to alert the enemy and attract the attention of some difficult beings.
And Luo Xiu was not prepared, so he just left this task vacant.
He then personally explored various taverns and adventurer guilds in Sina City, hiding his identity and asking for relevant information, but he did not get any useful information.
…
Three days passed by in a flash.
In the morning of the fourth day, when Luo Xiu left the Bailing Hotel and went to the church for a routine report.
The priest who was responsible for guarding the church door told him an important news.
——A "high deacon" from Songyuan Diocese had arrived in the evening of the previous day.
