Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

The pupils of the "bloodthirsty werewolf" Boozer gradually dimmed.

He vaguely heard a strange whisper from the depths of his soul.

And the "nightmare" that was playing in his mind seemed to become illusory and disappear with this strange whisper.

For Boozer, the greatest salvation for him was to make the "nightmare" disappear.

"——Save me, save me..."

Boozer murmured.

"——Please...save me..."

...

The "crazy piety" brainwashing of Boozer went quite smoothly.

Boozer's consciousness gradually declined, and soon he fainted again.

Luo Xiu then drew out the "White Oak Staff", completed the "Healing Spell" and the "Blessing of White Oak", and healed Boozer.

The golden and pure white glows intertwined, turning into pure life energy and pouring into Boozer's body. The horrifying scars on Boozer's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the panel detection of "Werewolf" Boozer, his status has been out of "near death" and recovered towards moderate trauma.

After a not-so-short wait, "Werewolf" Boozer slowly woke up.

At this time, Boozer's eyes were revealing a tired gloom, and a faint golden light flashed in them, as a proof of the "Crazy Pious" recipient.

In Boozer's character panel, a new entry has also appeared in the "Status" column.

——"Crazy Pious (stable, permanent)"!

This means that "Werewolf" Boozer has officially become the second "Crazy Pious" conquered by Luo Xiu, and has become Luo Xiu's third "shadow".

Boozer slowly opened his eyes.

He looked at everything around him in a daze, and the "invader" in his field of vision was standing calmly in front of him.

However, at this time, Boozer no longer had any hostility towards the person in front of him.

Even when Boozer looked at the other party, he actually had the impulse of "yearning", "reverence" and "wanting to kneel down" in his heart.

In Boozer's mind, two words were like fire in the night, engraved in the depths of his soul.

——【Holy Abyss】 and 【Shura】!

"I... I am..."

Boozer, who had just woken up from a near-death coma, murmured incoherently.

"I am 'bloodthirsty werewolf' Boozer..."

"I am... Holy Abyss... Boozer..."

"..."

Looking at "bloodthirsty werewolf" Boozer, who was gradually "reshaping" his cognition, Luo Xiu nodded imperceptibly.

"—— Boozer."

Luo Xiu then spoke in a low voice:

"I am 'Shura', I am the master of 'Holy Abyss'."

"—— And you, answer me. Who are you?"

"..."

When Luo Xiu's voice fell, Boozer's face showed a confused expression. But this confusion only lasted for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

"I am the apostle of [Holy Abyss]... Apostle..."

Boozer murmured. His eyes gradually returned from turbidity to brightness.

"I am the 'apostle' of [Holy Abyss], Boozer! I know who I am, I know..."

Boozer looked across, at the man wearing a "black-patterned puppet mask" under a wide cloak, and his expression gradually became fanatical.

It was an irresistible instinct from the depths of his soul to follow the person in front of him.

"You, you are [Shura], you are my guiding light, the fire of salvation..."

Boozer struggled to stand up. His huge body had not yet fully healed. The scab on the wound broke again with the violent movement, and the bright red blood flowed out like a spring.

The next moment, Boozer half-knelt on the ground and knelt in front of Luo Xiu.

Boozer raised his right hand and presented a gesture of "dedication" to Luo Xiu. He said:

"--You are... the new 'lord' of our half-wolf people."

"--I swear my loyalty to you in the name of 'Werewolf Chief' Boozer. I and the 'Zagun' tribe behind me will all regard you as the new master..."

"..."

Luo Xiu seemed to have heard an unexpected answer.

--'Zagun' tribe.

Luo Xiu didn't know much about the life experience of "Werewolf" Boozer. The original intention of coming to subdue him this time was also because of the powerful fighting power that Boozer showed in his previous life.

But now, Luo Xiu felt that he seemed to...

have other gains.

Luo Xiu thought quickly in his mind, and he looked at the character panel of 'Werewolf' Boozer at the same time.

Sure enough, in Boozer's panel, his full name should be...

--"Bloodthirsty Werewolf" Boozer Zagun!

The "Zagun" tribe should be a large werewolf settlement represented by Buzer. And this settlement is led by Buzer...

That is to say, I might have accidentally poked the werewolf nest.

This was information that no one knew in Luo Xiu's previous life.

Luo Xiu's mind was racing, and he could not see any changes in his expression from the outside while wearing the "black pattern puppet mask".

Luo Xiu looked at Buzer who was half-kneeling on the ground, and then said in a low voice:

"Very good, Buzer. You have such cognition, which is worthy of admiration..."

"Then, now, I will give you the first task."

Hearing this, Buzer raised his head, showing a firm and pious expression on his face and said: "Please show me, my lord."

"...This cave."

Luo Xiu then said slowly: "As the stronghold of the original 'Beast Cult', I want you to clean up this place. Then, you will still stay in the Beast Cult as the 'Warrior Captain', waiting for me to issue new orders."

Luo Xiu gave Boozer the same task as "Burner" Byrne. Boozer and Byrne had the same reaction on their faces.

When Boozer looked at the corpses of those former orc "warrior men", there was no longer an angry expression on his face, only emotionless indifference.

Those were not Boozer's tribe, but orc warriors who also belonged to the "half-orc" race. Even though he was not brainwashed by "Crazy Piety", Boozer was not greatly touched by their deaths. For Boozer, who is somewhere between a "plunderer" and a "mercenary", "emotion" is a very redundant product.

"——I will obey your will."

Boozer finally said.

…

Sina City, White Antelope Hotel.

At midnight, Luo Xiu had returned to his room in the hotel.

Luo Xiu locked the windows and doors and lay quietly on the bed, taking stock of the gains from this trip.

——Conquered two extraordinary beings with "three-fold destiny", and the "bloodthirsty werewolf" Boozer is a rare super combat power; in addition, he also killed those heretics with one and two-fold destiny, and looted A lot of gold coins and medicines were obtained, and a harvest of rich experience leeks was harvested. At the same time, Boozer swore allegiance on behalf of the 'Zagon' tribe behind him, which was also an unexpected joy.

And, in the challenging situation, he defeated "Burner" Byrne and "Bloodthirsty" Boozer, and at the same time satisfied the triggering conditions of "Scorching Soul", allowing his "divine" attribute and " The "Physique" attribute has been slightly improved!

This is the beginning of Tianhu.

At the same time, Luo Xiu also removed a "token" that could prove his identity from "The Flame Burner" Byrne and "The Bloodthirsty" Boozer. After a few days, he went to see Priest Leonard to report that he had successfully completed the task of "adjudicating heresy".

That can accumulate one's contribution points in the "Holy Court" church in exchange for some precious scrolls and books belonging to the "Holy Treasures".

Although Priest Leonard has stated that he will provide him with certain resource support within his ability, his authority as a "priest" is ultimately limited.

And Luo Xiu had a clear premonition that he might take over the position of the priest in the near future.

Previously, Priest Leonard had said to Luo Xiu, "My time is running out."

This made Luo Xiu feel concerned.

And this priest does indeed have the intention to train himself as his successor.

By then, if I really take over the position of Priest Leonard, I will have to rely on myself for many things.

And since "Red Maple City" Rodive fell into law.

Luo Xiu was already aware of the hidden undercurrent.

Those [Supreme] people have not yet sent anyone to the church in Sina City to express anything to their "Holy Judge" because of the Lodiv City Lord incident;

As for the power behind the "Ancient Hermitage" - behemoths like the "Holy Tower Theocracy", they seem to be indifferent to this.

This isn’t that the storm has disappeared, it’s just that it’s still brewing.

Luo Xiu knew very well that hidden organizations such as the "Ancient Hermitage" must be closely related to the secret sect directly under the Holy See of the Holy Tower Theocracy.

As for the strange turmoil before the outbreak of the "Judgment War", there were many figures from the activities of secret members of the "Dark Principality" and the "Holy Tower Theocracy".

And the members of these secret organizations, everything they do has only one purpose.

——For the "trial war"!

There is less than half a year left before this protracted war breaks out.

Luo Xiu could already feel a strong sense of crisis.

And on the eve of the outbreak of the "Trial War".

That's the most dangerous time.

In the previous life, the trigger for the outbreak of the "Judgment War" was the horrific incident known as the "Night of Wailing".

——A duke, three marquis, and a dozen earls of the Nolan Empire had their hearts and souls stolen overnight, and they were wailing all day long.

On the morning of the third day, the bodies of these nobles were found in their respective mansions. They died in a miserable state, with black and purple erosion lines spreading all over their bodies, indicating that the voodoo curse broke out and died.

This is the work of members of the "Lich Order" from the Holy Tower Theocracy.

At the same time, various abnormal and terrorist riots broke out in various parts of the Nolan Empire - the "September Plague", the "October Famine", the horrific assassinations of the "Black Knife Incident", and the "Bloody Declaration" of border independence. Sports, "Rolling Stone City Sacrifice"...

At that time, the Nolan Empire was already on the verge of collapse.

And all of this is the result of the simultaneous outbreak and joint promotion of hidden organizations affiliated with the "Holy Tower Theocracy" and the "Dark Principality" that are deeply rooted in the Nolan Empire in a very short period of time.

Later, when the time was right, the [Dark Principality] launched a "War of Revenge" against the Nolan Empire!

This was the beginning of the "Judgement War".

Without the appearance of the "Adventors", the Nolan Empire would have almost collapsed.

And those "coming ones" are "players"!

They were "summoned" and randomly landed in various corners of the "Apocalypse World". Fanol Continent, "Broken Continent" and even "Storm Continent"... In that instant, they landed all over the world like projections from outer space.

And the existence that "summoned" the players to land was not the high-ranking people of the "Nolan Empire", nor even any force in Fanol Continent.

——It was the sky island "Apocalypse Ring" of the gods!

The appearance of the "Adventers" was the "Pandora's Box" finally opened by the most loyal [Balance] destiny believers of the Apocalypse Ring who would never change their faith.

——From then on, the "Adventers" were all over the world of Apocalypse. They started out as "saviors" with high hopes, and finally became the "descending disasters" that all local forces avoided!

Luo Xiu fell into deep thought.

Since Luo Xiu traveled to this world, all the known world backgrounds are indeed consistent with those in his previous life.

As for the existence of "players", Luo Xiu's intuition told him that they would inevitably appear in the near future.

——As "adventers"!

Luo Xiu looked at the [Internal Beta Start Countdown] on his panel and fell into deep thought.

[Internal Beta Start Countdown: 153 days and 4 hours...]

Luo Xiu had already vaguely guessed that at the moment the countdown reached zero, the players would descend on this land as "adventers" just like in the previous life.

If the original plot in "God's Destiny" continues, when the believers of [Balance] activate the "Ring of Apocalypse", the appearance of "adventers" will be an inevitable result.

If Luo Xiu can prevent the believers of [Balance] from activating the "Ring of Apocalypse", perhaps the process of the players' advent can be stopped.

But Luo Xiu does not have this ability now, and he has no reason to do so.

Because the appearance of "players" is a great benefit and advantage for Luo Xiu!

Only Luo Xiu truly knows the nature of "players". Only he truly understands how to condense and forge this scattered power in the early stage into the sharpest sword!

"The Adventer" will be the power that Luo Xiu can truly use to compete with all the giant forces in Fanol Continent.

However, before the "Judgment War" really breaks out and the "Adventer" really appears.

Luo Xiu wants to become as strong as possible and establish his own influence and power as soon as possible inside and outside the "Holy Court" to accommodate those players with "righteous" and "evil" tendencies.

In the name of "Church" and "Holy Abyss", accept the light and darkness in the hearts of the players.

Luo Xiu secretly pondered and calculated how he should spend the less than half a year left.

As he thought, he gradually fell asleep with a tired body.

But before falling asleep, Luo Xiu had made up his mind.

In the next two days, Luo Xiu will continue to clear and hunt those "pagan strongholds" and absorb the number of his "crazy believers" to about six.

This is the most basic combat power.

"Holy Abyss", as the tentative name of the secret organization he is about to establish, this is the "first apostle".

...

At the same time, Songyuan main city.

The blue moonlight casts a faint glow on the eaves of thousands of households. When the wind blows through the treetops, the swaying branches make a "rustling, rustling" sound, which is a melody that can calm people at night.

A white cat is lazily lying on the branch, swaying up and down with the branch.

Intis Fugne, she has just arrived in Songyuan main city.

Although her master is now the deacon and inquisitor of the "Holy Court" Church, this is not enough to apply for a legal identity certificate for her that can only be issued by the [Supreme] Law Office.

However, Intis naturally had other ways to sneak into the city unnoticed and quietly come to the most central street.

Just opposite Intis, the magnificent building shrouded in the night still reflected a dark golden light under the slight moonlight.

That was a brilliant facade made of pure gold, and behind the facade was the purpose of Intis's visit this time.

——"Gold Country Bank"!

Before, Luo Xiu had given the emblem of the Manston family to Intis, and Intis's task was to find someone from the Manston family and connect with him.

This was not a difficult task.

Intis thought so.

…

The next day, morning.

On the wide street in front of the "Gold Country Bank", a beautiful scenery suddenly appeared.

It was a girl with a slender figure but elegant temperament.

The silver-gray soft long hair fell down the girl's shoulders, and the delicate face like a doll was stunning enough without any makeup.

The girl, wearing a layered tulle dress, walked towards the door of the Golden Country Bank in small steps.

At this time, the Golden Country Bank just opened in the morning.

When the waiter noticed the girl, he walked towards her with a smile on his face, bowed slightly and asked:

"My beautiful lady, what can I do for you?"

Seeing the waiter coming, the girl stopped.

"Please help me inform Lord Manston."

The girl smiled faintly and said:

“My brother asked me to come and discuss important cooperation matters with Lord Manston.”
