Chapter 319 Interview
After completing the commissioned mission [Night of Molten Iron and Burning Steel], I obtained two specialties [Iron Heart Hunter] and [Burning Steel Destroyer]. They are both very practical specialties.
The rare specialty [Iron Heart Hunter] further enhances the intensity of Luo Xiu's output, and has a suppressive advantage against enemies with lower health;
The [Burning Steel Destroyer] is even more heavyweight. It brings Luo Xiu a good "strength" and "resistance" attribute bonus, and the "physical attack" and "defense reduction" are also improved to a considerable extent.
In addition, its biggest improvement is that it allows Luo Xiu to gain up to 80% immunity to "fire" attribute damage! And 40% of the damage can be converted into a shield or used to counterattack the caster!
The harvest this time was quite sweet for Luo Xiu. Although he did not get the "legendary" expertise, one "rare" and one "epic" expertise were both hard upgrades.
After browsing the contents of the panel happily, Luo Xiu closed the panel and looked at the old blacksmith Balin who was still dazed in front of him.
"You really brought... the head of 'King of Burning Steel' Harris..."
Balin stared blankly at the head with blood-soaked hair in his hand, an expression of disbelief and loss appeared on his face.
"I have fulfilled my promise, Bahrain."
Luo Xiu looked at the old blacksmith in front of him and said in a calm voice:
"So, what about you, Bahrain? Do you still remember what you promised me?"
"..."
"I will also fulfill my promise."
Bahrain nodded slightly, organized his words, and said:
"I said, if you can bring me the head of 'King of Burning Steel' Harris, I can stay here with peace of mind and do things for you..."
"There is also the 'Steel Shield Mercenary Group' behind me. In the name of the group leader, I will write a letter to my deputies and ask them to follow you, just like they once followed me."
"Very good." Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction.
"I'm glad, Bahrain, I'm glad you have this understanding."
"I said, I won't treat you badly - after that, I will ask my apostles to send you all the materials, equipment and weapons seized from the 'Burning Steel Furnace', you can study them at will , smelt them, reforge them, whatever you like.”
"In addition, there is the 'Burning Steel Forge' - my apostles also recovered it from the depths of the Burning Steel Furnace's stronghold. Although it was originally an evil furnace used for flesh and blood sacrifice, it is also powerful. You should be able to use it for its casting and enchanting functions.”
"Steel-burning furnace..." Balin muttered the name of this furnace in a daze.
He suddenly realized that the "Holy Abyss" did not just kill Harris, the "King of Burning Steel", but completely destroyed the entire "Burning Steel Furnace"!
This was more thorough than Bahrain expected... and he once again realized deeply that the power of the "Holy Abyss" might be beyond his imagination.
"I understand." Bahrain nodded and said solemnly:
"I will smelt them and recast them as you say."
"I will definitely forge them into better and more powerful tools, I promise in the name of 'Master Craftsman'."
……
After that, Luo Xiu left Bahrain's manor and returned to the direction of the Royal Palace.
On the way, he met "Executioner" Koros again - Koros was leading several other second- and third-level apostles, carrying the forges, weapons, and weapons seized from the "Burning Steel Furnace" stronghold. The equipment and various materials headed towards the "Bahrain Blacksmith Shop" that Luo Xiu had just left.
Luo Xiu left the decision to Bahrain on what to do with these trophies.
He believed that Bahrain could handle them well, and all he had to do was wait for Bahrain to give him feedback on the finished product.
……
Until Luo Xiu returned to the royal hall.
He activated the engraved mark on the back of his hand, teleported back to the real world from the Forgotten Royal Court, and returned to the room in the Wolfhound Tavern.
After the affairs of Koros and Bahrain were finished, Luo Xiu had no other arrangements for the time being in the "Holy Abyss".
He could then concentrate on preparing for the trip to the main church. After sorting out his image, he walked out of the room and left temporarily towards the outside of Songyuan City.
……
About ten o'clock in the morning.
At the gate of Songyuan City, the guard on duty saw the figure of a knight in gorgeous clothes from a distance.
The man was wearing clerical attire from the church, but the holy emblem he wore on his chest was a five-pointed ring carved in gold, which symbolized the identity of a "bishop"——
The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately cheered up. Before the "bishop" arrived, they all stood in two rows under the city gate. They held the long gorilla in their right hand and stood on the ground. A "bishop" administered the crude sacraments.
Until Luo Xiu approached the city gate, he took out the church bishop's ultimatum from his arms and said to the guards with a smile:
"I am Luo Xiu Carlos from the Red Maple City Church. I came to watch the ceremony at the invitation of the main church and to see the archbishop."
After speaking, he handed the document to the soldier at the front, who took it with both hands respectfully.
The soldier quickly confirmed the authenticity of the ultimatum, handed it back to Luo Xiu, and then said piously and respectfully: "Welcome, sir, who has come all the way from Red Maple City! Please come into the city, I will inform us right away Captain, let him introduce and guide you!”
"No need to trouble you." Luo Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "I want to move around by myself. You can just stay at your posts and there is no need to alert other people."
"Yes, we understand." The guard soldiers saluted Luo Xiu again, and then returned to their original guard positions. Together with other guard soldiers, they watched Luo Xiu walk into the city, and watched his back disappear on the road into the city. The end.
……
This can be considered as "coming to Songyuan Castle"...
Luo Xiu rode the "Golden Pegasus" Pegasus and galloped towards the main church, thinking about these during the journey.
Show the "bishop's ultimatum" - that will be the time to truly arrive at Songyuan City. If the General Church later needs to organize and sort out the various affairs processes after the Bishop of the Red Maple City Church, "Luo Xiu Carlos" arrives in Songyuan City, this is the place to start.
About twenty minutes passed.
Luo Xiu has arrived at the main entrance of the main church established by the Holy Court in Songyuan City.
A majestic cathedral stands majestically in the middle of the city.
It was a huge church with an almost Byzantine style.
The first thing that caught Luo Xiu's eyes was the huge door made of pure white and sacred gold; on both sides were exquisitely sculpted icons, who were quietly watching the believers coming and going.
Above the door, the spire of the eaves almost pierces the sky; behind the door, rounds of towering arches overlap each other in the field of vision, lifting up and extending the long stone steps that shed golden light, as if Will lead to the sacred and solemn kingdom;
The long rows of slender pillars on both sides are carved with complex and gorgeous gold patterns, and every detail reveals a noble, solemn and sacred atmosphere.
There were two paladins guarding the door of the church, so Luo Xiu took a step forward and walked towards them.
In Luo Xiu's panel detection, the two paladins were both "fourth destiny" guardian knights. They also noticed Luo Xiu very early - because the priesthood clothes he wore were too dazzling and eye-catching. .
A paladin then came forward, and a clean, young male voice came out from under his silver-faced helmet:
"Greetings, fellow comrades of [Glorious]. I am 'Silver Knight' Hume, who are you?"
"Red Maple City Church, Luo Xiu Carlos." Luo Xiu answered him briefly.
——Roseux Carlos! When he heard the name, Hume was obviously stunned, and a long intake of breath came from under his visor.
"Are you the newly promoted bishop?" After being stunned for a moment, Hume made a somewhat excited voice, but still maintained restraint and said to Luo Xiu, "We did not receive any prior notification from the Red Maple City Church...but it doesn't matter. , please show me the 'scepter'"
What "Silver Knight" Hume said was that when Luo Xiu held the bishop's ordination ceremony, "Holy Priest" Hubert gave Luo Xiu the sacred scepter in the name of Archbishop Sid.
Luo Xiu nodded, and as "Silver Knight" Hume requested, he took out the scepter symbolizing the status of "Bishop" from his bracelet and handed it to him.
Hume took it with both hands, rubbed it for a while, then handed it back to Luo Xiu, and said piously and respectfully:
"Welcome again, Bishop of Red Maple City Church, Lord Rossiu Carlos. Please come with me, and let me guide you to the 'Noble Temple'."
After saying that, he turned around, handed over his post to the "Golden Knight" on the other side, and walked towards the church door.
Luo Xiu slowly followed him and entered the church door.
When they reached the end of the long steps, the scene in front of them suddenly became clear, and the main body of the sacred church came into Luo Xiu's field of vision——
Inside, there is a huge courtyard.
Different sacred buildings are located in their own corners, and they are cleverly designed to guard the main building.
——The "Noble Temple" is the core building. It is mainly the residence of the Archbishop, and it is also the place where the highest level meetings or decisions of the General Church are held.
Its status is equivalent to the "Bishop's Holy See" of the Red Maple City Church, but it is endowed with more sacred meanings.
That was also Luo Xiu's destination, where he was about to meet the Archbishop.
Following the footsteps of "Silver Knight" Hume, Luo Xiu and him quickly arrived at the door of the "Noble Temple", calmed down their expressions and steps, and walked in quietly.
The light shines through the tall windows and onto the ground covered with a long white carpet, casting two long and narrow shadows on the corners of the corridor.
Holy paintings filled with glorious spirituality are hung on the walls on both sides of the corridor.
Their picture frames were emitting a light golden glow and had been sacredly enchanted - just passing by the holy paintings, Luo Xiu felt a warm feeling rise from the inside out, and his [brilliant] Spirituality seems to have become more active and purer as a result, which is also the influence of sacred paintings.
On the way, Luo Xiu heard the low and solemn prayers - the sounds of prayers from a group of believers, accompanied by the thick and long bells from the bell tower, and the music played by the organ and harp, intertwined into The ethereal and melodious melody echoed between every pillar in the temple.
"It's right in front, Lord Luo Xiu."
When Hume led Luo Xiu to a pure white door at the deepest part of the corridor, Hume stopped, turned around, and said to Luo Xiu:
"Please wait a moment while I go in to inform the Archbishop."
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Luo Xiu nodded slightly. Hume then turned around, pushed the pure white door open by a corner, and walked in sideways.
Luo Xiu waited quietly outside the door.
The waiting time was not too long, only about two minutes passed. "Silver Knight" Hume came out, said the sacrament to Luo Xiu:
"Please come in, Lord Luo Xiu. The Archbishop hopes you will come in immediately. He wants to see you immediately."
After Hume said this, he stood still on the left side in front of the pure white door, pulled out a silver-white long sword from his waist, and leaned on the ground.
He was not going to accompany Luo Xiu in. Luo Xiu knew that as a Paladin of the "Fourth Destiny", Hume had the duty to report, but he was not qualified to accompany him to see the Archbishop.
He is now fulfilling his duty - the duty of waiting and guarding as a "Guardian Paladin".
Luo Xiu nodded to Hume again, and then walked into the pure white door alone.
After entering this door, the scene in front of him changed again——
The huge empty palace appeared in his field of vision. If he hadn't been here, it would be difficult to imagine that there was such a large space here.
Various sacred utensils and ornaments are displayed on both sides. They have activated spirituality and are ready for use at any time. Various ritual arrays and sacred inscriptions are "inlaid" on the walls wherever they can be drawn. Here It is an absolutely "sacred" field.
At the end of Luo Xiu's field of vision, at the highest point of the white carpet under his feet, a man wearing a pure white robe and a pure white crown was sitting on the pure white Holy Seat.
That is the "supreme authority" of the entire Songyuan Church, the archbishop in charge of the main church!
——Archbishop "Sid Lawrence"!
Next to Archbishop Sid, there seemed to be a slender figure sitting on the holy throne nearby.
Because he was standing too far away, Luo Xiu couldn't see clearly who the man next to Archbishop Sid was.
While thinking, Luo Xiu put his left hand on his right chest, raised his right hand in an arc in front of him, bowed slightly, and paid the most standard sacrament of audience to Archbishop Sid.
Later, according to the record in "Glorious Listening", Luo Xiu greeted Archbishop Sid on the Holy See:
"Praise be to you, beloved Archbishop."
"I am Luo Xiu Carlos from Red Maple City. I have come all the way from the border to see you and admire your sacred grace."
"I ask you to clear away the fog of teachings, and I ask you to give me sublime revelation."
"..."
"Come closer, Luo Xiu."
A peaceful, not old voice came from the distance, and Archbishop Sid said:
"Come closer and let me have a good look at you."
"I follow your instructions." Luo Xiu nodded, then stood up straight and walked step by step towards the Archbishop's throne.
He gradually saw the Archbishop's appearance and the details on him clearly.
"Sid Lawrence" Archbishop, his face looked solemn and peaceful, and the years had left traces of calmness on his brows.
Under that solemn face, an imperceptible smile was curling up on the thin lips. The eyes staring under the sword-shaped brows contained both majesty and kindness. He was calmly watching the body of 'Roseux Carlos' who was walking towards him. shape.
In a daze, Luo Xiu seemed to see the archbishop nodded lightly.
At least the first step of the interview was taken correctly... Luo Xiu thought to himself.
His eyes then fell on Archbishop Sid.
The distance at this time was enough, and Luo Xiu had already seen clearly who the slender figure sitting next to him was.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank——
Luo Xiu did know the owner of that figure, but he never thought he would see her here...
That is the saint of the "Holy Court"!
——"Glory Saint" Franya!
