Chapter 247: Victory in the decisive battle, rewards settled!
Red Maple City, wartime church.
After winning the final victory in the previous decisive battle, Luo Xiu, the "presiding priest", led the priests who participated in the battle back to the church.
Maiyev, the chief officer of the mission, rushed into the sanctuary as soon as he returned to the church and made arrangements for many new tasks. The clergy of the "missionary" who originally stayed behind in the church suddenly became Busier than ever.
They need to treat the clergy who were injured in the war, and at the same time, they also need to prepare a prayer ceremony for the dead.
The acolytes of other sanctuaries received the signal from Luo Xiu, who was "presiding over the great ceremony", and went to meet in the Holy Office.
At this time, in the Holy Office.
In addition to Mayev, seven of the nine "deacons" in the three major sanctuaries of the church have arrived.
Luo Xiu, who was at the front seat, no longer waited, and said slowly and solemnly:
"Everyone, I invite you here to review the previous decisive battle."
"...But, before that."
"I hope to pay my respects to the victims first."
"We will always remember the 'Fire Priest' Graydon, and we will also always remember the six priests who were martyred with him."
After saying that, Luo Xiu stood up, caressed his left chest with his right hand, and nodded with a low expression.
The seven deacons of the church also followed Luo Xiu's actions and stood up, nodding in memory.
The wordless silence lasted for a minute before Luo Xiu gently put down his right hand and said slowly:
"May their souls go to eternal heaven."
After saying that, Luo Xiu sat back in his seat.
The other "deacons" of the church also followed Luo Xiuxian and then sat back to their respective positions.
Afterwards, Luo Xiu glanced at Anthony. The understanding Anthony immediately said:
"Then, let me report to the high priest first."
"This time, among the priests who went to the battlefield to participate in the decisive battle, seventy-seven of them actually left and seventy were returned."
After a pause, Anthony continued, "Although seven of our colleagues have gone to the Kingdom of Heaven, we still severely damaged the enemy and sentenced a total of one hundred and thirty-seven [Lost] heretics."
"This should be a great victory. In the face of the enemy's massive invasion offensive, Red Maple City's victory will be a highlight in the trial war."
"……Um."
Luo Xiu nodded, and then looked at the other aide next to Anthony.
It was a woman from the mission, a triple-destined pastor, "Sesia Solomel," who came to listen to the meeting in Maiyev's place.
Sethia pondered for a while and then said:
"I will make a report on behalf of Chief Majev."
"In the previous decisive battle, we seized a total of more than 2,300 gold coins, 83 doses of various medicines, and 56 'rare' and 13 'rare' items from the 'adjudicated' heretics. Rare', four pieces of 'Master' quality equipment, and several 'Rare', 'Rare' and 'Master' quality materials."
"This is enough to replenish our damaged equipment and replenish the church's inventory, Master Daji."
"Also, there is one more thing. When most of the clergymen went out to fight in the city, the church was invaded by the pagans who were dormant in the city. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the clergymen."
After speaking, Sethia said no more, but maintained her original dignity and silence.
"Well, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded again.
His eyes immediately turned to the chief officer of the "Secret Place", waiting for his final report.
Right where Luo Xiu's sight fell, there was a taciturn priest named Olga Schaefer.
But unlike ordinary "triple destiny" priests, Olga did not wear clerical attire, but instead wore exquisite robes that symbolized the status of the imperial nobility.
Olga, who was originally silently listening to the reports of the other "deacons", slowly raised her head and said after feeling the gaze from Luo Xiu, who was "presiding over the ceremony", and said: "The 'secret place' has always been maintained. The connection between 'Bianting' and 'Fangbeiyuan'.
"I heard that while you and other priests were participating in the decisive battle, the 'Bianting' and 'Fangbeiyuan' were also attacked by heretics who infiltrated into Red Maple City."
"However, apart from some damage to buildings and injuries, there were no victims in the side courtyard and Fangbei Courtyard."
"However, in addition to these, enemy infiltration forces have also taken action against civilians."
"At the same time as the enemy's attack on the church, the side courtyard and the obelisk courtyard, they launched a vicious attack on the shops in the main street. Although the guards of the mansion killed the thugs in time, three merchants died in the riot ”
"Now, the secret base is assisting the 'Bianting' and 'Mansion' to quell the negative public opinion among the people."
"In addition, due to the impact of previous vicious attacks, we have received new dissatisfaction and condemnation from private business organizations."
"Many businessmen on the main street have signed a petition saying that the church's 'judgment' against heretics is not thorough. They demand that we take responsibility for the deaths of the three businessmen and fully disclose the church's information to the outside world and maintain transparency. Better accept social supervision.”
"..." When Olga finished reporting this, all the clergymen present fell silent. Luo Xiu, the leader of the group who was "presiding over the ceremony", also had an almost invisible twitch in the corner of his mouth.
He is really unruly... Luo Xiu cursed.
But his face did not reveal what he was thinking, but he said calmly:
"I understand. So, Anthony, Cecia, and Olga, listen up."
“We have just come out of a war, and the church now needs a break.”
"In addition to the necessary aftermath work, I will give all clergy of the church a total of two days of leave. During this period, although the clergy cannot leave the church, they do not need to carry out the church's regular schedule."
"The name of the holy holiday is 'celebration' and 'remembering' - we celebrate a new victory and remember all those who lost their lives due to war."
After a pause, Luo Xiu continued:
"Wait for two days, Anthony. You organize the Holy Inquisitors of the Holy Inquisition. I want to investigate the coniferous forest that was burning on the battlefield."
"And, Olga, about what you said."
"You asked the secret office to draft a notice. The church sympathizes with the sufferings of the three businessmen who were killed, but it is not responsible for the matter, and it is even less likely to disclose the church's information. Ordinary thugs who have not yet entered the extraordinary need not be 'adjudicated' and stopped. Their atrocities should be the job of the palace guards."
"But, in the name of the church, Olga. I hope you will 'donate' a hundred Nolan gold coins as condolences to the family of the businessman who died, and disclose this matter to other civil organizations in Red Maple City. What will happen next, the mansion Will help us finish."
"Well... let's arrange it this way for the time being."
After explaining this to the 'deacons' present, Luo Xiu gently put his right hand on his forehead, with a tired look on his face.
After hearing what Luo Xiu said, the other "deacons" in the church stood up, bowed to Luo Xiu and left.
Following the signal of the 'Great Sacrifice', they each returned to their respective sanctuaries. Soon only Luo Xiu was left in the Holy Office.
After staying for a while, Luo Xiu also got up from the main seat and left, returning to his "Grand Sacrifice Residence".
…
The inner courtyard of the church and the residence of the high priest.
When he returned to his room, the first thing Luo Xiu did was to lie down on the bed, close his eyes, and fully feel the touch of being wrapped in soft quilts.
A feeling of fatigue suddenly surged up like a tide. In the decisive battle in the previous half day, he had fought for too long, and his body was already overloaded.
Luo Xiu almost forced himself to hold on until now and explained the future arrangements to several other 'deacons' in the church. Now, he can finally rest at ease to make up for the sleep he has been in debt since he became the high priest.
However, before that, he opened his own panel.
——He will first conduct three reward settlements.
That’s the reward settlement for killing “The Cursed One” Haqiz, “The Beast Tamer” Claure, and [Limited Time Mission: Red Maple City Decisive Battle]!
At this time, there are still about two hours left before the limited time limit of [Red Maple City Decisive Battle] ends.
Before the time limit expired and the tasks were automatically settled, Luo Xiu planned to settle them first to avoid long nights and nightmares. After temporarily eliminating the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Luo Xiu symbolically completed the ritualistic "sacrifice", then opened the mailbox panel and gave the panel the "receive" instruction.
[Kill "The Cursed One" Haqiz (lv.37) and gain 2989 basic experience points]

You will pay a corresponding price: whenever you apply a "curse", you will immediately suffer 30% of the power of the "curse" backlash, which is "original" damage and cannot be purified, offset or blocked by a shield. 】
【……】
"...Grass." Luo Xiu's eyes darkened.
There are no "curse" related skills in his skill bar, so getting this expertise can only be said to be something he can expect in the future.
In addition, its side effects are quite serious - the "original" damage that cannot be purified or offset is backlashed, plus several other self-mutilation specialties possessed by "The Cursed One" Haqiz, Luo Xiu finally understood , the reason why the "Bound One" would explode with blood while fighting.
It can only be said that this is the exclusive expertise of the "Lost" fate "spell masters", but for the current Luo Xiu, it has zero improvement... Luo Xiu was a little entangled, and finally confirmed the settlement result this time, Obtaining this expertise is an early investment in the "curse" means that you may have in the future.
After that, Luo Xiu settled the kill reward of "Animal Tamer" Claure.
[Kill "Beast Tamer" Krall (lv.38) and obtain 3022 basic experience points]
["Judgement of Glory" takes effect, gaining 4 free attribute points]

When you look at "monster" creatures, monsters with a lower level than you will feel fear and obedience to you, and monsters with a higher level than you will feel kind and intimate with you. This effect expires when the monster's level is more than 20 levels higher than yours. 】
【……】
"...Grass." Luo Xiu frowned again and his eyes went dark.
Among the rewards obtained from killing boss-level enemies this time, the two rare specialties obtained are both types of limited professional specializations.
Luo Xiu also confirmed the results of the kill reward settlement of "Beast Tamer" Crowl, and regarded the specialty of "Beast Tamer's Eye" as a special solution for special situations that may be encountered in the future.
After completing the settlement of the kill rewards for "The Cursed One" and "The Tamer", Luo Xiu immediately closed the mailbox panel, opened the task panel, and opened the task details page of [Limited Time Mission: Red Maple City Decisive Battle] .
After reaching the bottom, Luo Xiu also gave the panel a "settlement" command.
[Completed the limited-time mission: Decisive Battle in Red Maple City (Nightmare Difficulty)]
[Your camp won this decisive battle, and you made an indelible contribution to this. 】
[You have completed the current main mission objective]
[You have completed additional mission objective two]
[You have completed additional mission objective four]
[The task is being settled...]
[Get the main completion rewards: basic experience +29800, free attribute points +29]
[Obtain additional completion rewards: basic experience +10,000, free attribute points +8]
[Obtain special completion reward: Adapt to destiny’s ‘epic’ quality expertise*1]
【……】
After the settlement was confirmed, new content quickly appeared on Luo Xiu's panel.
After briefly glancing at the regular rewards obtained, Luo Xiu focused on the "special completion rewards".
The 'epic' quality expertise that suits the destiny, that is Luo Xiu's biggest goal this time!
"Settlement."
Without hesitating for too long, Luo Xiu continued to give instructions on the panel settlement expertise, and there was another wave of light and shadow floating in front of his eyes.
【……】
[Adapting "epic" quality expertise is being generated...]
[Acquire the expertise "Spiritual Controller (Epic)"]!
[Spiritual Controller (Epic): Your control over ‘spirituality’ has been analyzed to every detail. You are gradually understanding its nature and realizing that body, mind and soul are becoming one.
Your "divine" attribute increases by 24 points, and other attributes increase by 8 points. Your mana is calculated as the base, and you gain an additional 5 times the value of the "divine" attribute. At the same time, your "mana" and "spell attack" will receive an additional 20% increase. 】
【……】
"……hiss!"
Luo Xiu's eyes lit up!
Of the three settlements today, he was most satisfied with the settlement of the last "epic" quality specialty.
With the new specialty "Spiritual Controller", his mana depth will jump to another level. At the same time, as a legal profession, his "spell attack" value will also break through to unprecedented heights!
After confirming the last settlement expertise, Luo Xiu closed the panel with satisfaction.
Turning the spirituality in his body and experiencing the real feeling every time he became stronger, Luo Xiu gradually felt his consciousness blur.
As the last moment of wakefulness dissipated, Luo Xiu also fell into a deep sleep.
Until the next morning.
…
The next day, early morning.
On the first day after Luo Xiu gave the church two days of "holy leave", the guidance priest Colen, who was forced to work overtime, received a special guest.
"Old regular customer" Lord Nelson suddenly visited with "Grand Inquisitor" Baines. This frightened Column and he couldn't help but flinch when facing Baines.
"There is no need to panic, Lord Column. Lord Baines is kind and friendly. Just treat us like ordinary visitors."
Lord Nelson smiled slightly and said:
"Excuse me. We are here to visit Lord Luo Xiu of the Great Sacrifice. Isn't it convenient now?"
