Chapter 218 Torture and Settlement
When "Death Teller" Grayn fell to the ground, the glowing wings behind Luo Xiu gradually dissipated and converged, and then slowly landed towards the position where Grayn fell.
A huge deep pit suddenly opened up on the ground, and in the center of the pit was Geran's withered body that was riddled with holes.
At this time, half of his body, which contained the power of death, was completely broken; the horrific wounds on the other half of his body had leaked out the smashed internal organs. Blood gushes out uncontrollably and gathers into a pool of blood in the deep pit that emits a fishy odor.
Greg was already dead, and Luo Xiu had already determined the death of the enemy in front of him from the extra red dots of the kill reward in the mailbox on the panel.
Luo Xiu immediately landed on the ground, cleared several sacred realms, recalled the ravens and wolves that had been left in the ritual place, and walked towards the direction of Gerien's body.
Relying on the blocking authority of the "Seal of Broken Rings", Luo Xiu directly interrupted Gerien's last trump card. This [Lost] priest who feeds on death died in Luo Xiu's hands with almost no resistance. in hand.
Of all Luo Xiu's battles with the "fourth level of destiny" enemies, this battle is the easiest... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
The glorious authority he possessed just perfectly restrained the ability of "Death Teller" Gray, so that even before Gray could really launch a counterattack, he followed the real death.
He then walked up to Gray's body, quickly extracted his soul with the "Soul Manipulator", and then cast a holy spell of annihilation on Gray's corpse, erasing the "darkness" left by the Soul Manipulator. Eclipse” spiritual traces.
Then, Luo Xiu turned his back and looked at the corner of Alley No. 6.
"It should be almost there..." Luo Xiu murmured in a low voice.
All the Holy Inquisitors who were arranged to block Alley No. 6 should have seen the scene where he grabbed the "Death Teller" Gray and rushed into the air before.
If nothing else goes wrong, they are all rushing here at this time, and they will arrive soon.
…
Sure enough, just a few seconds later, Luo Xiu heard the sound of dense footsteps coming from the corners at both ends of the deep alley.
Palmier led the Holy Judges to arrive, and they all saw the scene in mid-air before.
Until this time, they once again saw the broken body of "Death Teller" Gray in the pit, and all the Holy Inquisitors couldn't help showing shocked expressions on their faces.
Their young Lord Daiji, at the beginning, just asked them to station themselves around Lane No. 6 and blockade them, while Lord Daiji went deep into the stronghold alone - he was the only one who killed through the entire [Lost] Large base! He even killed the enemy's leader "The Teller of Death" on the spot at high altitude!
Powerful...The "Grand Ceremony" of their wartime church was unexpectedly powerful... Such a consensus emerged in the hearts of all the Holy Inquisitors. When they looked at Luo Xiu, their expressions unconsciously added to their reverence.
Pamier, wearing the heavy armor of a paladin, walked up to Luo Xiu. She took off her heavy helmet, and looked at Luo Xiu with her golden-green eyes, and then at the body of Grain in the pit next to her. The expression on her face became a little complicated.
"You... Luo Xiu, I understand. It turns out that the 'fourth level of destiny' is so powerful..."
Pamier murmured in half astonishment and half yearning. She then asked Luo Xiu, "Is that the 'Death Teller' Grayn? The [Lost] Transcendent who is at the same level as the priests..."
"Well, he is the 'Death Teller' Gray."
Luo Xiu nodded and said:
"He is suspected to be a transcendent of the 'Hidden Eye'. Before I entered that stronghold, he was performing some kind of promotion ceremony with dozens of heretics."
"I interrupted their ceremony, judged all the heretics, and finally shot down Gerion here. The biggest threat has been killed... Pamier. After that, it is your mission."
"Pamiai, you come and assign the Holy Judges to clean up this battlefield of judgment. In addition, there should be a lot of recyclable materials in the secret warehouse of their stronghold. Send people to sort and organize them and bring them back. ”
"Then, this neighborhood remains under martial law, Pamier. Don't let civilians get involved, and if [Supreme] and [Intellect] send people to ask, you can truthfully share the situation here with them."
"I understand." Palmier nodded. She then put on her helmet again and turned to the other Holy Judges to issue new orders.
While Pamier was leading the Holy Judges in their respective duties, Luo Xiu also left this street and walked towards the more hidden deep alleys.
…
Pender Street, Lane 33.
Luo Xiu came here alone. After confirming that no one was prying and almost no one would break in here, the dragon claw mark on the back of his hand lit up with red light patterns, and the surrounding scene became illusory.
He activated the key to the "Forgotten Royal Court", and when the illusory scene in front of him settled back into reality, he had arrived at the throne of his own "Forgotten Royal Court".
This was his temporary arrival at the Forsaken Royal Court without notifying the other apostles in advance. They were busy recruiting new "Holy Abyss" believers and presiding over the construction work of the abandoned royal court, so no apostles appeared in the main hall to greet them.
Luo Xiu also had no time to inspect his royal court at this time. He immediately stood up from the throne and notified Intis alone with the "Family Crest" to see him.
After waiting for a moment, in front of Luo Xiu and in a place belonging to Intis in the main hall, light patterns of the teleportation array appeared on the ground.
Intis' figure soon appeared on the magic circle, and gradually became clear and real from being blurry and illusory.
"Lord." The moment she saw Luo Xiu, Intis knelt down on one knee and saluted Luo Xiu as a servant, "I will obey your call."
"Intis, I need your bell."
Luo Xiu said to Intis. He touched the mithril ring on his finger at the same time. A trace of dark purple luster emerged from the ring surface, and a black soul light group filled with the aura of chaos and death emerged from the ring. Drilled out and gradually transformed into the form of "Death Teller" Gray.
——That is the soul of "Death Teller" Gray! Luo Xiu now released it from the ring because he wanted to borrow the Intis bell to torture Grean with some questions.
"You...you..." Gray's soul seemed to recognize the young priest who killed him before. The outline of his soul's light group began to tremble unnaturally, exuding a trace of fear. breath.
Before Greg's soul was possessed by Intis's "bell", Luo Xiu had no intention of asking him any questions. Intis, who was on the side, immediately understood what the Lord meant, took out the "Civet Soul Bell" from his arms, and shook it gently at Gerien.
——Dingling bell, dinging bell... After a series of crisp bells rang, the outline of Grayen's soul "stabilized", and its facial features reappeared in life, and a confused, godless, and crazy expression immediately appeared on its face. Stunned expression.
At this point, Luo Xiu took out two letters from the ring - one was a threatening letter to Lord Nelson, and the other was a secret letter exchanged between Grean and "Priest of Death" Asvis.
"Let me ask you, 'Death Teller' Glenn Bruiser. Were these two letters written by your own hand?"
"..." Gray stared blankly at the letter in Luo Xiu's hand for a few seconds before replying in a hoarse voice:
"……Yes."
"Heh... So, Starro, the 'Spiritual Beloved One', is your disciple?"
"……Yes."
Luo Xiu nodded. He could at least confirm that the content in the letter was true and not fabricated by a third party.
However, he still had some doubts, such as why Grean chose to send a cursed letter to Lord Nelson while being promoted, which would only increase his risk of exposure.
He then asked Gerien this question, and heard Gerien reply:
"...for a perfect death from the inside out."
"Death from the inside out?"
Luo Xiu thought with some doubts, but he could probably understand the meaning of Green's words, that is, in addition to those believers who were willing to die as martyrs, Green also needed "external death" to ensure the success of the ceremony.
And this conjecture was quickly confirmed. Luo Xiu heard Gerien continue to say: "I need more...more death...death turns into power...this is perfection..." "Curse...the curse to that city lord is a gift... …The fear that facilitates my revenge for my disciples and brings death to perfection…”
"And besides him...except for the Nelson City Lord...I also planted more, more seeds of 'death'..."
"It's a pity, it's a pity..."
When he said this, Greg stopped talking. He fell into silence again, waiting for Luo Xiu to ask questions later.
And Luo Xiu quickly understood the situation behind this.
Unknowingly, the threatening letter with the imminent curse that City Lord Nelson received was actually part of Grean's promotion... But what he didn't expect was that the traces he had hidden had already been exposed, and he He would die in the hands of a church chief priest the moment before his promotion was completed.
This information is unknown to the [Supreme] people who are suspected of revealing to themselves the hiding place of the "Death Teller". And if he hadn't come to Red Maple City and served as the church's "master of ceremonies", it would never have been so easy to destroy such an enemy.
Even "Death Teller" Grean himself said that in addition to Lord Nelson, he also planted the seeds of death in other places in Red Maple City - those may be the nobles of the city, or they may be civilians. If the confrontation with [Lost] Grain is delayed for a few more days, when all the seeds of "death" bloom, Red Maple City will suffer even greater losses.
Luo Xiu thought about this, and his eyes gradually became deeper as he looked at Gray's soul.
At this time, the rich pitch-black color of Gray's soul light group was gradually becoming lighter, and there was not much time left to maintain his complete consciousness.
Luo Xiu judged that he could probably ask two questions to Gerien.
After thinking about it, Luo Xiu quickly made a decision. He first asked Gerien about the locations of the other "death" seeds he had planted, and soon got the answer to the question.
Most of them were residents concentrated on Main Street and Mawei Street, with a total number of about a hundred people.
They were sown with death curses in advance by Grein in various ways. In about two days or so, at the same time as Grein's original "promotion ceremony" is completed, the residents who were sown to death will collectively Death suddenly, in order to "offer" external death to Grayn.
After Luo Xiu wrote down this, he immediately asked Grean the final question:
"Where is 'Priest of Death' Asvis hiding?"
"..."
"'Death Priest' Asvis... He is in the largest stronghold of 'Death Secret Prayer' on Rust Street..."
After answering Luo Xiu's last question, Gray's soul color completely disappeared, and his illusory body also dissipated, turning back into a soul light group without intelligence, just a collection of pure spirituality.
Luo Xiu then put Gray's soul back into the ring, and after verbally praising Intis, he activated the key to the secret realm again, left the "Forgotten Royal Court", and returned to the reality on Pender Street. world.
After walking out of the shadow of the hidden alley, the first thing Luo Xiu had to do was to return to the church and inform the priests of the church's "preaching place" about the "crypto" buried by Gray. Seed of Death” place.
Although Grean is dead, the curse he imposed on the civilians has not expired. As soon as two days pass, the death curse will be activated immediately, taking away the lives of those civilians.
But Luo Xiu no longer needs to personally "save" those civilians. As soon as he returned to the church, he went to find Mayyev, whom he had newly appointed as the head of the mission house, and gave him the task of dispatching clerics to go to the scene of the incident to inform him. He told the residents of Main Street and Mawei Street like this -
"If there are any symptoms of syncope, intermittent fever, coldness or even convulsions, it may be a sign of being cursed. All residents with one of the above signs came to the church within one day, and the clergy of the church , will drive away the filth for you.”
Maiyev wrote down these, and then went to the missionary place. After organizing the clergy, they left the church to carry out the tasks assigned to them by the Luo Xiu Institute.
After that, just wait for those residents who may be cursed to come to the church, and use the holy magic of "Pure Glow" to lift the curse for them... Although this method does not guarantee that all the curses can be lifted, it is enough to lift some of them. Most of it.
And this can also improve the church's credibility among civilians, and it will also be of great benefit to the integration of beliefs... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
After dispatching Mayyev to perform the task of informing the civilians, Luo Xiu finally finished all the tasks for the time being, and then went to his high priest's residence for a temporary rest.
After that, he only had to wait for Anthony, Pamier, and Mayev to return from their missions. At that time, he would make subsequent plans.
While Luo Xiu was thinking about this, he came to his bedroom and lay down on the bed.
He immediately opened the panel and opened the interface of his mailbox. After a routine of righteous single sacrifice, he clicked on the reward settlement option of "Death Teller" Gray.

【……】
This is the reward for killing "Death Teller" Grean...the epic quality specialty "Death Praiser". Luo Xiu is quite satisfied with this harvest.
He has since become immune to "instant death" at depths and below, which may play a vital role when facing [Lost] believers who also advocate the way of death.
As for the "death" spell power increase in the second half and the "instant death" effect that is easier to trigger, they are not of much help to Luo Xiu. But even so, "Death Praise" is still a qualified and practical "epic" quality expertise!
Luo Xiu thought about this, and then closed the panel with satisfaction, preparing to seize the rare rest time.
He was not prepared to leave his residence again until the clergy he had sent came back.
…
Until half a day later.
As soon as Luo Xiu woke up, he received Anthony's spiritual transmission through the "enchantment medium".
He had returned to the church from the side court and immediately came to the residence of the high priest, preparing to report to Luo Xiu the feedback and information he had received from the [Supreme] person.
