Chapter 250 Project Preparation and Banquet
The Church in Sina City does not have the "Obsidian Key". Bishop Fabian has forwarded his application to the General Church - and the Archbishop of the General Church has sent "High Deacon" Hubert to assess and examine himself. Are you qualified to be granted the "Obsidian Key" and be promoted to become a saint of the "Fifth Path of Destiny"...
Luo Xiu summarized this in his heart, and he had some vague ideas.
Originally, to receive the "Obsidian Key", one had to go to the Songyuan City Church in person to meet the archbishop, but Leonard also explained in the letter that this is a "special period" and the Siena City Church has also Having received new rules and regulations, this should be the reason why Hubert is coming to Red Maple City to assess him.
In this way, there is no need for the "Master of Ceremony" who may be promoted to leave his original position. As for why "Senior Deacon" Hubert came to take the assessment, it is probably because he passed the assessment to become the "Master of Ceremony" and was also in charge of it. of……
Luo Xiu was thinking about this, his eyes fell on the ink on the letter, and he continued to read.
Leonard continued to write in the letter:
"About another thing about your application, you hope to gain relevant knowledge about 'Defense Barrier'. There is no problem with that."
"Professor Fabian asked me to record the knowledge of the 'Guardian Knight Colossus' and the 'Great Sun Golden Barrier' in a volume and send it to you."
"At the same time, Bishop Fabian also delegated to you the seal of authority of the 'Lightless Cage'. He also asked me to tell you by the way - if you can successfully pass the assessment of the 'High Deacon' Hubert, you might as well Grasp one more authority as a 'bishop'."
The Guardian Knight Colossus, the Great Sun Golden Barrier, and the "Lightless Cage" of authority... Seeing Leonard writing these in the letter, Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with surprise.
As expected of a member of his own family, they are so arrogant when they run a small stove... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
Luo Xiu had seen two of the three "knowledges" enclosed by Leonard, and had a clear understanding of their practicality.
Regarding the "Lightless Cage" of authority, Luo Xiu had seen Bishop Fabian use it.
During the previous invasion of the original sects that the Sina City Church encountered, Bishop Fabian used it to isolate the inside and outside of the Sina City Church and sealed the "ancestral bishop" Sandos and a group of heretics from the "original sects" In the church.
If he can truly control this authority, then if the Red Maple City Church encounters the previous "Russian Head" invasion again, it will no longer have to worry about the enemy possibly escaping from the church... Luo Xiu thought about this.
And to be able to obtain an "authority" in this way is a bloody gain for him.
As for the "Guardian Knight Colossus", it is a good thing that once severely damaged "Ancestral Spirit Bishop" Sandos. Just in front of the original "Holy Inquisition" of the Sina City Church, those two huge bottles of Knight Holy Statues The statue is the "treasure of the town meeting".
With a feeling of surprise, Luo Xiu continued to read Leonard's letter.
There was not much content left after that. Luo Xiu saw three lines of writing with pale golden light, which were words that sealed the technical knowledge and received the "sacred seal".
Luo Xiu then raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, pressed the pads of his fingers on the words "Sainted", and at the same time turned his own spirituality.
His index finger immediately emitted a faint golden light, which resonated with the glorious spirituality contained in the words "Holy Seal". A warm touch followed, and the words on the page burst out with a slightly dazzling light.
A spiritual "spring" then poured into Luo Xiu's mind, and the knowledge of "Guardian Knight Colossus", "Great Sun Golden Barrier" and "Lightless Cage" were stored in Luo Xiu in a spiritual way. Xiu's memory.
After completing this, Luo Xiu stopped instilling spirituality, and the pale golden light emitted by the writing on the page slowly dissipated.
He continued to read Leonard's letter and now reached the end of it.
"These are all what Bishop Fabion and I want to say to you, Luo Xiu."
"We can often hear stories about your deeds in Sina City, Luo Xiu. Everything is in good order in the Red Maple City Church where you serve as the 'master of ceremonies'. Bishop Fabian and I are both proud and gratified for you."
"We heard that you, 'Bianting' and 'Fangbeiyuan' collaborated to repel the vanguard of the Dark Principality, and the parish has regarded this as your outstanding achievement. Luo Xiu, we look forward to hearing more good news from you. News, remember to write to us often, Bishop Fabion will always miss you.”
"—Leonard Bambers."
"..."
The content of the letter ends here. Luo Xiu read it again, feeling some subtle ups and downs in his mood.
After that, he folded the letter, stuffed it back into the envelope, and solemnly placed the envelope into the letter box next to it.
Thinking about writing a reply to Bishop Fabian and Priest Leonard in a while, and also writing a letter to Teacher Ivan who was far away in Dawn Town, Luo Xiu then stood up from the soft chair and left. He left the holy seminary and the residence of the high priest.
…
Luo Xiu went straight to the church's mission and entered the room where the mission's "chief" Majev was.
During the two-day "holy holiday" after the decisive battle, Mayiev was one of the few clergymen who "worked overtime." At this time, he was dealing with the tedious affairs of the missionary in his room. It was not until he heard the footsteps of someone walking in that he raised his head and took a look.
When he saw that the person coming was Luo Xiu, the church's "master of ceremonies", Mayev put down his work, stood up and nodded to Luo Xiu.
"You can continue, Maiyev."
Luo Xiu waved his hand and said, "I know that the mission house has been very busy recently, so I won't take up too long of your time."
"I'm sorry for your concern, Mr. Luo Xiu." Maiyev responded, "Is there anything important you have to do when you come to the mission this time?"
Luo Xiu nodded, walked to Maiyev's desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, and motioned for Maiyev to sit down as well.
It wasn't until Mayev sat down that Luo Xiu said to him: "I told you before about strengthening the church's defenses."
"Colen just brought me a letter. It was from the Sina City Church, Priest Leonard."
"He clearly recorded the knowledge of the 'Guardian Knight Colossus' and the 'Great Sun Golden Barrier' for me in the letter. I need the missionary to prepare a medium for me to inherit."
"..."
"Have you received a reply to the application letter you wrote to the Sina City Church before?" Mayev said with some surprise, "Time flies so fast... I still clearly remember when you sent the letter Scenario.”
"I'm too busy these days, as you know, Master Luo Xiu. Originally, I should have handled the matter of receiving important letters personally, but..."
A guilty look appeared on Mayev's face. Seeing his appearance, Luo Xiu felt a little teased in his heart.
He then said in a relaxed tone: "That's not your problem, Mayev. You know, Column is my auxiliary priest, and the letter is also the highest level of confidentiality. It was issued by the Sina City Church. A courier was specially sent to my residence..."
After hearing Luo Xiu enlighten him in this way, the guilty expression on Mayev's face dissipated a little. He returned to his usual serious state and said to Luo Xiu:
"I understand, Lord Luo Xiu."
"Then, as for the spiritual media that you have delivered, preparing Chengyi's 'Guardian Knight Colossus' and 'Great Sun Golden Barrier' for you, I will make arrangements as soon as possible."
"Well, that's good." Luo Xiu nodded, and then asked Mayiev: "Do you have any blank scrolls or drawings here? I will record the knowledge I received, and you can dismantle them. Divide it into different parts and hand them over to the priests and craftsmen in charge of the project. "Okay, please wait a moment," Mayev responded, then turned around and bent down to rummage through the low cabinet on the wall. try to find.
About thirty seconds later, Maiyev pulled out three wide and thick yellowed architectural drawings from the cabinet and spread them out on the table.
After Mayev finished doing this, Luo Xiu took out the ink-dipped pen from the ink bottle on the desk and began to draw on the drawing.
…
Two hours later.
Relying on his newly acquired memory about the knowledge of "Guardian Knight Colossus" and "Great Sun Golden Barrier", Luo Xiu completed a scaled-down disassembly drawing on the drawing.
At the same time, Luo Xiu also recorded all the relevant details on the drawings regarding what kind of materials needed to be used in each place, and where detailed "brilliance inscription" needed to be done in advance.
After checking himself again and confirming that it was correct, Luo Xiu handed the final draft to Mayyev and said: "Just like this, prepare the spiritual 'medium', Mayyev. I estimate that I will need three bottles of 'Guardian Knight Colossus' and two 'Golden Barrier Altars'."
"...Okay." Mayev was stunned for a moment and nodded.
He briefly calculated the approximate costs in his mind. To temporarily customize these, it would cost about more than 40,000 gold coins worth of materials, which would just put the church's existing savings at the bottom.
It will be a long time since then that we will no longer be able to carry out "large-scale construction projects" like this... This Grand Priest may not have any idea about the church's finances. We can only hope that he will not get too excited and come up with any new ideas that require large expenditures... ...Maiyev thought this in his heart, and he watched Luo Xiu, the "presiding priest", leave his room and the preaching place at the same time.
…
After completing the delivery of the reinforced defense project to Maiyev, Luo Xiu went to the Holy Office and began to deal with many affairs of the church.
The time passed quickly while sitting at his desk. It was not until it was getting late that Luo Xiu finished his work and returned to his grand sacrificial residence to rest.
When he woke up the next day, he went to the Holy Office again and was forced to work overtime in a happy mood.
Applications for the aftermath of the decisive battle were put on the table among his bishops one after another. There were also many diplomatic matters in the external 'side court' and 'Fangbei Courtyard' that needed to be dealt with urgently. While working, Luo Xiu was actually in a trance. I have a certain illusion that my workload seems to be getting more and more every day.
Luo Xiu didn't finish his work until the afternoon, and Column, the guiding cleric, also introduced new guests to him.
A familiar face walked into the "Bishop Room" of the Holy Office, that was Lord Nelson.
He first bowed humbly to Luo Xiu, and then said:
"'Master Luo Xiu, I'm sorry to disturb your work."
"Lord Baines has asked me to prepare my car and wait for you outside the church door. If it is convenient for you, please go to the side courtyard to participate in the celebration feast with the church's 'deacons'."
"I understand." Luo Xiu nodded, "You go and wait outside the church first, Nelson. I'll come back later."
After hearing this, Nelson saluted Luo Xiuqian again and responded, "Okay, Lord Luo Xiu. I will wait for you respectfully."
Nelson then withdrew from the meeting with the bishops, left the church under the guidance of Pastor Colen, and waited respectfully in front of the car outside the door.
Luo Xiu returned to his high priest's residence, changed into a high priest's robe suitable for the banquet, and then went to the Holy Inquisition, missionary and secret offices to notify the "deacons" of each office to accompany him, and then walked out of the church door and came Go to Lord Nelson.
Just as Lord Nelson said before, two luxuriously decorated carriages had stopped at the door of the church. There were eight carriages in total, which could accommodate Luo Xiu and the seven "deacons" accompanying him to the banquet.
"You are here, Lord Luo Xiu." Seeing Luo Xiu's arrival, Lord Nelson went up to greet him and greeted Luo Xiu, "Please get on the bus. Lord Baines has been waiting for you in the side courtyard for a long time."
Luo Xiu nodded and walked towards the first carriage in the queue.
Nelson opened the car curtain for Luo Xiu, and Luo Xiu stepped into the car in two steps.
Anthony and Pamier from the "Holy Inquisition", Maiyev and Sethia from the "Missionary", as well as Olga and the other two "deacons" from the "Secretary" also boarded the board one after another. The carriage carriage in the back row.
After all the church guests boarded the carriages, the servant driving the carriage waved his whip, and the eight carriages churned past the side courtyard and disappeared at the end of the road in a short time.
…
Late afternoon.
The carriage carrying Luo Xiu and the "deacons" of the church had arrived at the door of the "side court".
Lord Nelson, who was riding a horse nearby, got off his horse next to Luo Xiu's carriage and opened the door curtain of the carriage for Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu immediately walked out of the carriage. He first took a breath of fresh air, and then nodded lightly to express his approval of the attitude of Lord Nelson.
A humble smile appeared on Lord Nelson's face. He then went to the carriage carrying the "deacons" of other churches and opened the curtains for them one by one.
Anthony, Pamier, Maiyev and other deacons got out of the car one after another and came to Luo Xiu, waiting for his subsequent instructions.
"We have arrived at the [Supreme] Side Courtyard." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "Not only will all the [Supreme] people with triple life paths and above in the 'Supreme Side Courtyard' be present, but the two knowledgeable people from the Fangbei Courtyard will also be present. Their senior warlocks will also come."
"This can be regarded as a meeting of the 'pillars' of Red Maple City. Leaders of the church, I hope you can understand what I mean."
After saying that, Luo Xiu turned around and walked towards the entrance of the side courtyard.
The guard knights who originally crossed their long swords to block outsiders, this time held their long swords vertically on the ground. When they saw the church's "Grand Priest" arriving, the knights all bowed slightly to show their respect for the church's dignitary.
This should be the instruction of "Grand Inquisitor" Baines... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
He recalled that in his previous life, as a player in the [Glorious] destiny, he was always stopped and questioned when he wanted to enter the side court, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
City Lord Nelson led the way, while Luo Xiu and the "deacons" of other churches followed behind him, slowly heading deeper into the side courtyard.
The gorgeous and stern trial hall soon came into Luo Xiu's sight.
But that was not their destination this time. Lord Nelson led Luo Xiu and others around the corner in the side courtyard to a gorgeous building on the outside of the side courtyard.
——The "Grand Secretary Auditorium" is a gorgeous palace with a similar Byzantine style. Its exterior walls are painted in ocher red, supplemented by regular black and white lines. At the same time, the windows are decorated with glass inlaid with exquisite patterns, and the main entrance stands The two statues of sphinx knights look majestic and solemn.
This is the main building dedicated to entertaining important guests.
It is also the place where the "celebration banquet" was held.
