Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Looking at the expression on Mir's face, as if he had seen a ghost, Luo Xiu smiled lightly.

"I'm just an ordinary guest." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "Is this how you welcome your guests?"

Mir: "..."

"Hmph, come in first." Mir snorted and turned his short body slightly to make way for Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu walked into the shop, while Mir closed the door of the blacksmith shop.

…

"so."

Mir held the hammer in one hand and rubbed the hammer's surface with the other hand. He asked with a straight face: "What do you want to do when you come to my place this time?"

"I told you in advance that I will never sell you anything above 'rare' quality at a loss."

"And don't ask me to draw runes for you for free!"

"..."

Facing Mil's cautious gaze, Luo Xiu shook his head slightly.

"In that case, I'm leaving."

Luo Xiu said with a rather regretful tone, "Sigh... I originally wanted to ask you to help me build an 'epic' quality magic staff..."

"Since you don't want to, then I will find someone else..."

With that said, Luo Xiu stood up and walked towards the door of the store.

At the same time, Luo Xiu counted the numbers silently in his heart.

——Three, two, one...

"--Wait a moment!"

Mir's voice suddenly came from behind Luo Xiu at the moment the silent countdown ended.

Luo Xiu turned around and looked at him with a smile.

"...What did you just say?"

Mir's tone was mixed with doubt and excitement, and he asked in a confirming tone:

"You said you wanted to 'ask me to forge an [epic] level magic staff'?"

"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "Are you excited?"

"...That's what you said."

Mir snorted angrily. Although he did not admit it, the red light on his face due to excitement betrayed his current state.

At the same time, Mir also showed a somewhat embarrassed look.

"I'll think about it... um. However, I don't have 'epic' quality materials. I also don't have the channels or funds to purchase main materials of this quality..."

"So, if you really want to entrust me with forging, I will charge you a purchase fee in advance! It won't be too high... it only costs about fifteen hundred gold..."

"Stop, stop."

Luo Xiu interrupted Mir's words, and facing Mir's dissatisfied eyes, Luo Xiu took out a silver square box for packaging from the storage bracelet on his wrist.

"I have 'epic' quality material right here."

Luo Xiu smiled slightly and said, "Master Mir, you know that I have always believed in your craftsmanship."

"..."

Mir did not speak, his eyes were staring directly at the silver square box in Luo Xiu's hand.

"..."

"You, you said you have 'epic' quality material?"

After a long while, Mir finally said in a somewhat impatient tone:

"Quick, let me see!"

At this time, Mir's eyes were constantly gleaming with excitement.

For this dwarf blacksmith, "epic" level materials are quite rare.

Luo Xiu then walked to a long table and gently placed the silver square box on the table.

Mir came to the opposite side of Luo Xiu. When Luo Xiu's hand left the square box, Mir reached out to take it and opened the square box with a "click".

A bright crystal green light instantly shot out from the square box. The complete dark green magic crystal in the shape of a regular dodecahedron entered the sights of Luo Xiu and Mir at the same time.

That is the material of [epic] quality - "Colorful Emperor Spider·Crazy Magic Crystal"!

…

Mir's eyes gradually became dull and straight as he carefully examined the "Magic Crystal of Madness".

In the eyes of the "blacksmiths", the dodecahedron crystal with deep crystal green light in front of Mir is the most beautiful and perfect thing, far better than any other scenery.

…

After looking at it for a long time, Mir shook his head and focused his attention away from the surface of the Mad Evil Crystal.

"My God..."

Mir couldn't help but admire, "This is a quite complete Magic Crystal of Madness... Just looking at it, I can imagine how beautiful the finished product made from it will be..."

"So?" Luo Xiu said with a smile, "Master Mir, do you have any thoughts about my commission?"

"..."

Mir pondered for a while, then he raised his head and met Luo Xiu's eyes.

"You said you wanted to entrust me to help you build an 'epic' quality magic staff, right?"

"Yes."

Luo Xiu nodded, "This is the mad magic crystal from a 'Colorful Emperor Spider'."

"You don't need to worry about the source of the material being incorrect. This is a trophy that I, as the 'Holy Judge', got in my battle with the infidels."

"I think using it as the main material should be enough to create a magic crystal wand with 'epic' quality."

"..."

"Believe me, that's enough."

Mir nodded, his eyes now full of warrior-like determination and belief.

It was as if he was a soldier of the empire, preparing his troops and preparing for an expedition at any time for the glory of the empire.

"You can leave it to me with confidence. I promise you that my craftsmanship will never let you down."

Mir said firmly, "Believe me, in the entire 'Sina City', you can't find another person who is more suitable to forge it than me."

"..."

"Of course I believe you."

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "This time, I hope you can use the best auxiliary materials as much as possible. From your perspective, you should understand what kind of materials to choose to maximize the power of this 'Crazy Magic Crystal'" value."

"Of course I understand."

Mir nodded, and under Luo Xiu's gaze, he closed and put away the silver square box on the table.

The dwarf Mir, his expression at this time was full of anticipation, he was already gearing up and eager to try.

Seeing that Mir accepted the forging commission, Luo Xiu took out five more platinum coins from the "storage bracelet" and handed them to Mir.

"This is the funds used to purchase auxiliary materials." Luo Xiu said, "Please feel free to select those auxiliary materials. I will come again at this time next week."

"..."

Mil suddenly felt a little strange about the familiar "Holy Judge" opposite him who suddenly became generous.

This "Holy Judge", when he came here a few times before, he either bargained or prostituted for nothing, which made Mir already have an inherent impression of him.

But this time, he actually paid himself five platinum coins at once...

This made Mir stunned for a moment.

This is already more than what he paid the previous several times he came here combined!

"...Okay, I understand, this is quite enough."

After a while, Mir nodded and accepted five platinum coins from Luo Xiu.

"You'll be here this time next week."

Mir said firmly:

"I'll show you what true art is!"

…

…

After successfully handing over the forging commission of "Beautiful Emperor Spider·Crazy Magic Crystal" to Mir, Luo Xiu returned to "White Antelope Hotel".

Now, Luo Xiu's total consumption on Mir's side has reached more than 1,000 gold coins.

This is in addition to some equipment, materials and props that were purchased sporadically before. The total consumption is getting closer and closer to the goal of "3000" gold coins.

How to maximize the value of the epic-quality material "Magic Crystal of Madness" is what Mir should consider in the future. And Luo Xiu just needs to wait for the news from Mir.

The reason why Luo Xiu chose to hand over the "Crazy Magic Crystal" to Mir with confidence is because in his previous life, this epic quality material was also forged by Mir——

An epic-quality light weapon and dagger "Evil Phantom Blade"! This is the product created by the "Beautiful Emperor Spider·Crazy Magic Crystal" in the previous life!

Only this time, the direction of forging weapons was changed from daggers to magic staffs.

In addition, there is another, more important reason.

In Luo Xiu's memory, Mir in his previous life, after successfully forging this "epic" quality material, was officially promoted to the "Fourth Destiny" Great Blacksmith!

This is a milestone for a "blacksmith".

What can be guessed is that "successfully forging an 'epic' quality weapon" is Mir's promotion task.

In Mir's subconscious mind, he really yearned to forge an "epic" quality weapon with his own hands. And when Luo Xiu mentioned it, Mir showed great excitement.

This just proves Luo Xiu's guess!

And extraordinary weapons that meet the "promotion mission" conditions and are forged, this kind of equipment that has special meaning to the blacksmith, will be given "special" entry abilities!

From "normal epic" equipment, become "special epic"! This is just like the "template expertise" with the "special" label, it is completely rare!

"Special epic" equipment will gain additional and more powerful capabilities than ordinary weapons!

Luo Xiu still clearly remembers that in his previous life, the player who got the "Evil Phantom Blade" forged from the "Beautiful Emperor Spider·Crazy Evil Crystal" dominated the regional player rankings for a long time.

Just because the effects of the "Poison Phantom Blade" weapon are so abnormal, one of them is - 50% of the damage caused by the "Evil Poison Phantom Blade" is converted into "poison" attribute damage; and the holder All "poison" attribute damage caused will be regarded as "original damage", that is, real damage!

The player who is equipped with the "Evil Phantom Blade" happens to be an assassin of the Assassin genre. At that time, this assassin player used special skills to convert all damage into "poison" attribute damage, and then used the "Poison Phantom Blade" to convert all "poison" attribute damage into real damage.

After that, the player then overloaded the assassin's high-explosion buff, which was enough for him to completely ignore any shields and damage avoidance, and directly kill almost all non-human shield professions of the same level with a single blow!

Therefore, this weapon had been shining brightly for a long time in its previous life. For Luo Xiu, weapons like this must not fall into the hands of others.

Luo Xiu has the idea and the ability to reproduce the operations of the assassin player in his previous life.

According to experience, even if the category of weapons forged from "Colorful Emperor Spider·Crazy Magic Crystal" is changed from daggers to magic wands, their basic characteristics will not change.

In other words, assuming that "Colorful Emperor Spider·Magic Crystal of Madness" successfully forges an epic-level magic staff, it will still have the ability to convert part of the damage into "poison" attribute damage, and then convert all "poison" attribute damage into For the ability to do real damage!

Coupled with the rare quality "Ghost Faced Scale Armor" that Luo Xiu had purchased from Mir before, and its poisonous damage enchantment and "poisonous corrosion", this has formed a relatively complete set of output methods!

…

Putting aside the tactical ideas surrounding the quasi-new weapon, Luo Xiu leaned up and lay down on the bed.

After handing over the "Magic Crystal of Madness" to Mir, all that was left for the day was to meet up with Captain Anthony and the others at night, preparing to investigate whether the locations of the "Blood of Thorns" strongholds were true.

Luo Xiu knew in advance that there was basically no danger in this mission. Luo Xiu, who maintains high-intensity surveillance on the "Shadow of Killing", will try his best to avoid this most difficult enemy.

While waiting until night, Luo Xiu planned to learn a wave of newly obtained scrolls of [Holy Imprisonment] and [Holy Judgment], and simply use them to "create" some new [Glory] Destiny skills.

Now, Luo Xiu's skill column still has four vacancies, leaving two positions for backup, and he can also create two times.

Before that, though.

Luo Xiu first took out the letter sent by his teacher "Priest Ivan Dimel" from the storage bracelet on his wrist.

The slightly yellowed envelope has the wax seal on the seal still intact and has not been opened.

Priest Leonard did not open it. However, with Leonard's ability, he did not need to open the envelope to inspect it... Since the letter could be handed over to him, the cautious old priest must have checked it in advance. There is nothing dangerous or inappropriate about it.

Luo Xiu then found a letter cutter, cut the envelope along the seal, and pulled out the quarter-folded thin letter paper from the envelope.

Opening the letter paper, I saw Priest Yiwen, who wrote in scrawled handwriting——

[To Rossio Carlos:

I have received your letter about the Lord of Red Maple City-Lodiv.

The only thing I want to say at this moment is——

Luo Xiu! You are really my good student! What you did is really right!

Ha ha ha ha! This is a real pleasure! 】

【……】

【Who would have thought! The Lord of Lodiv, who was usually aloof and condescending, turned out to be a half-disabled man without sex!

You deserve it! Deserve it!

Luo Xiu, thank you for giving me a good mood for one day, oh no, three days! 】

【……】

[By the way, about recent events.

Now, everything is fine in Dawn Town.

It's just that without you drinking with me, sometimes I feel a little bored...

But it doesn't matter, now more often, Ms. Higwig drinks with me. Well, so don't worry about me. 】

【……】

[Oh, there’s more.

There is new news, I think you may be surprised to hear it.

That Mayor Rupert actually converted to our "Glorious Church" and became the most loyal believer in Zhurixuyu!

Think about how bad his attitude towards us was before. I just thought, this is really amazing...]

【……】

【at last.

I'm afraid you don't have enough money, so I'm enclosing 20 gold coins.

May you always be blessed with holy light, and may everything go well.

——Ivan Dimel (handprint)]

"..."

"It's really Teacher Yiwen's style..." Luo Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

When he saw the end of the letter, Luo Xiu grabbed the envelope and shook the seal downwards.

——Clang, clang, clang, many gold coins fell out of the envelope. After counting, there were twenty coins in total.

"Yi Wen doesn't know yet, but I am already the 'Holy Inquisitor'... My weekly salary is only fifty gold coins..."

However, Yi Wen's weekly salary was only ten gold coins. In other words, Yi Wen was afraid that he would not have enough money to spend, so he immediately sent half a month's salary with the letter...

For a moment, Luo Xiu was actually moved. So he found new letter paper and envelope, wrote a reply to Ivan, and stuffed a platinum coin into it.

Although Luo Xiu knew that Ivan would probably use this platinum coin to stock up a house full of wine.

But Luo Xiu felt at this time that as long as Teacher Yiwen could be happy. After all, there is not much time left to simply enjoy a comfortable life.

…

After stamping the reply letter to Ivan with a fire seal, Luo Xiu put the letter back into his bracelet, planning to hand it over to the church messenger when he went to church in the evening.

After that, Luo Xiu took out the scrolls of [Holy Imprisonment] and [Holy Punishment], paid a certain amount of experience points, and learned the two [Glory] skills recorded in them.

"Then, next, it's time to create your own skills..."

While thinking about it, Luo Xiu took out a stack of blank scrolls at the same time.

After thinking for a while, Luo Xiu unfolded the blank scroll and began to meditate and prepare to invest in his own technical knowledge.

…
