Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Luo Xiu glanced at Anthony beside him, and he saw an extremely solemn expression on Anthony's face.

"...What happened? What are they talking about?" Luo Xiu asked tentatively.

Anthony's face was solemn. He kept monitoring at the same time, organized his words and said:

"They seem to be talking about something that I don't quite understand... war, sacrifice, 'twilight' ritual..."

After Anthony pondered for a while, he continued: "Luo Xiu, your guess is indeed correct. They are indeed planning something bad."

After speaking, Anthony stopped talking and continued to focus on monitoring, trying to pry out more information.

And Luo Xiu no longer disturbed him, but secretly chewed on these new words.

Luo Xiu can probably understand that "war" refers to "revenge war", that is, "judgment war"! As for the "sacrifice" and "twilight ceremony", Luo Xiu was not very clear about them. They should also be related to the trial war.

I wonder what other important information Anthony can eavesdrop on... Luo Xiu thought to himself, and at the same time spread his perception to the surroundings to guard against unknown dangers.

…

In Anthony's perception.

At the same time, he kept monitoring the enemy, and the old and vague voice he heard before quickly disappeared. The next moment, another voice sounded.

It was a sharp and high-pitched male voice. The voice lowered its tone as low as possible and said:

"It is indeed necessary to restart the 'Twilight' ritual. However, the 'container' you mentioned, that Fabion... How sure are you that you can capture him and hold him in your hands?"

Fabian...Bishop Fabian? ! Anthony subconsciously wanted to exclaim, but his reason stopped him from doing so in time.

The voice of the person who was speaking now had a sharper tone than the old and fuzzy voice before. Therefore, it was easier for Anthony to distinguish what he was saying and be able to hear the complete sentences clearly.

"It turns out that the incomplete name of 'Fabi...' that the old voice mentioned before turned out to be our bishop..."

Anthony thought to himself, and at the same time he heard the sharp voice continue:

"Don't underestimate the revenge of the 'Holy Court'. At this point, we have all suffered a great loss from them, especially you, the 'Blood of Thorns'."

"……yes."

The old and vague voice sounded again, but this time it was in a humble and respectful tone: "Lord Koros... I... was... the bishop was seriously injured... in the past... now... it is different."

Every time this old and fuzzy voice sounded, the sounds Anthony could hear would become intermittent, and he could only barely distinguish part of the speech.

"Container... don't worry... the gray blood curse..."

"..."

The old voice stopped abruptly. Then, the sharp voice of the man known as "Koros" sounded again:

"...The Gray Blood Curse. Over the years, the blood in his body should have transformed into enough gray blood."

“This has already met the conditions required as a container to welcome the coming of ‘dusk’.”

"It's just that I still have the same problem."

"Are you sure you can capture Fabian and firmly control him?"

"..."

When Kross asked this question, all the sounds disappeared in the next moment, and the scene fell into a strange silence.

After a long time, the old and vague voice suddenly raised its tone and said:

"...In fact, we are preparing to conduct a large-scale sacrificial ceremony. I will let my Thorns go to attack the [Intelligence] Sage Tower in the Alchemy Yard in Sina City, where I am eager to Something that needs to be taken back.”

"..."

"You want to attack the Alchemy Institute?"

Kross sounded confused, "'Lord of Blood Sacrifice', shouldn't you directly attack the church of [Glory] Holy Court? According to the information obtained by my 'Black Fang', Fabian has not left the church for a long time. We It is speculated that his condition no longer allows him to be active outside. "

"This is the best opportunity." Koros added, "If you all go out, Bishop Fabian of the Holy Court Church will definitely be unable to resist. This is in line with our interests and purposes."

"..."

After being silent for a while, the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" said:

"Sir Executioner, I want to launch an attack on the 'Alchemy Institute'. Naturally, I have higher priority interests and purposes. Even for the Dark Principality, this is a better and more effective arrangement."

"If I can achieve my goal this time, I can see the light of day again from the 'bottom of the blood cave'! Believe me, Mr. Executioner, wait until the moment of revenge comes so that I can go to the battlefield. This is better than letting me go to the battlefield." 'Twilight' falls on Fabian's body, which is more valuable."

"If my idea can be implemented and my purpose can be achieved, we can also firmly control Fabian in our hands. And it is you who arranged all this, Mr. Kross. You may be able to rely on With this credit, he became one of the twenty-three chief executioners!”

"..."

This time, it was Executioner Koros's turn to be silent.

After a long while, Kross's voice continued:

"Lord of Blood Sacrifice, I think I need to tell you that restarting the 'Dusk' ceremony is the request of your master, the chief executioner, Lord Fafnir. I am just passing on the message."

"But, Lord Koros."

The voice of the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" suddenly laughed strangely and said, "You are moved by my proposal, right? Otherwise, you would reject me in a tougher tone."

"In fact, you don't have to consider Lord Fafnir's orders. Now you are the actual controller of all the hidden organizations directly under the principality of Sina City. You have the power to handle special matters. You only need to report to Lord Fafnir afterwards."

"..."

"Executioner" Koros, he was indeed moved.

As if thinking about something, Koros finally spoke:

"You may be right."

"'Lord of Blood Sacrifice', let's assume that I agree with your idea."

"Then tell me. What are you going to do?"

"..."

"It's actually very simple."

"Lord of Blood Sacrifice" said: "In fact, as long as my 'Blood of Thorns' goes out in full force to harass the 'Alchemy Institute' first, the 'Holy Judges' of the Holy See Church will not sit idly by."

"I have already investigated clearly. In the morning of three days later, the great generalists of the 'Alchemy Institute' will go to the main city of Songyuan to participate in a large alchemy festival. By that time, the Alchemy Institute's defense will be unprecedentedly empty, which is very beneficial to us. Action. "

"I will divide two groups of people, one led by Setis, to hunt down a great universalist. The rest of the thorns will take the opportunity to capture the Alchemy Institute and let their alchemists spread the news to the church. "

"Humph. At that time, the holy judges of the church will definitely not sit idly by. And in such serious situations, their "priests" will also be dispatched. At that time, the church of their Holy See will be left empty. "

"Then... our people of "Blood of Thorns" will hold back those holy judges. And the friends of the "Original Sect" will help us deal with the empty church. "

"..."

The scene fell into a strange silence again, and everyone was thinking deeply.

At this moment, the one who was most frightened and surprised was Anthony!

-They were actually planning such a terrifying conspiracy! Their spearheads were not even directed at the Holy See Church or the Alchemy Institute, but were terrorist attacks on the legitimate forces of the two empires, the [Glorious] Holy See and the [Wisdom] Sage Tower, which were no less than a declaration of war!

What exactly were they doing? The war they were talking about, a war of "revenge"... Is this their purpose?

Anthony was thinking rapidly in his mind at this time.

Fortunately, he happened to hear the content of their conspiracy!

If their conspiracy was successfully put into action, the consequences would be disastrous...

Thinking of this, Anthony suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Luo Xiu, who was beside him, watched Anthony's expression change several times in the dim moonlight, and secretly guessed that he should have heard something that was not very good.

However, Luo Xiu was not in a hurry to ask, Anthony was focused at this time, and he seemed to be ready to eavesdrop on more information.

...

In Anthony's perception, after the "Executioner", "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" and others were silent for a while, the third voice finally sounded among them.

"...We, the 'Original Sect', have an indelible blood feud with the Sina City Church that believes in [Glory]. We don't care what you want to do. We have only one goal, which is to destroy the Sina City Church."

"Haha, this is exactly why I invited you here." The executioner Koros suddenly laughed and said, "Bishop Zuling, the Principality and the Church have always been enemies in the open and friends in the dark."

"...I said, I don't care about these." The voice of the Bishop Zuling said, "I can participate in your plan, but I want you to pay the price. This is our law."

"That's no problem." Koros said, "I can, in my personal name, give you five copies of the ancient heritage scrolls above 'rare', as well as two copies of the 'epic' and one copy of the 'legend' ancient heritage scrolls. And you need , capture Bishop Fabion of the Sina City Church and hand him over to us. "

"...I agreed."

Bishop Zuling said: "Then, the agreed time is at noon three days later."

"'Blood of Thorns', first occupy their Alchemy Court and attract the attention of the Holy Judge of the Holy See Church. We will wait until and confirm that the Holy Judge and priests of the church have taken action, and then we will attack their church and Fabion's bishop's seat."

"...Okay."

The voice of the executioner Koros sounded, and he continued: "Then, let me be a witness. 'Original Sect' and 'Blood of Thorns', you are on the road to revenge for victory."

"But before that..."

The voice of the executioner Koros suddenly became a little sharper, and in an instant, the terrifying spirituality in his body spread outward, covering the surrounding area with his spiritual pressure!

-Not good! Anthony and Luo Xiu's hearts were alarmed at the same time!

"The Executioner" Koros, he is a saint who has entered the fifth level of destiny of [Ku Tu]. He radiates spirituality in an instant, which means that he has entered a state of combat!

The muscles on Anthony's limbs stiffened suddenly. Facing the high-ranking transcendent who crossed two levels, Anthony instinctively wanted to escape.

However, just when Anthony was about to stand up and prepare to run away in the direction he came from, he suddenly felt a hand grabbing his arm.

Anthony looked at the owner of that hand with suspicious eyes.

He only saw the owner of that hand, Luo Xiu Carlos, looking at him with firm eyes.

"...Don't panic, let alone move."

Luo Xiu said in a very low voice: "Calm down, you can see clearly."

"..."

Hearing this, Anthony struggled internally for a while, but finally followed Luo Xiu's instructions and crouched down again.

When Anthony forced himself to calm down and became calmer, he realized how stupid his previous impulse caused by fear was.

Before he came here, he had discussed with Luo Xiu that even if the situation really deteriorated to the point where he needed to run away, he should stay as concealed and evacuate as quickly as possible.

The way to evacuate is definitely not to run wildly. That will only increase the risk of being discovered, overtaken and eradicated by the enemy!

Moreover, when Anthony looked at Luo Xiu, although there was a hint of fear in Luo Xiu's eyes, he remained calm and collected on the whole.

"……call."

Anthony then took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Luo Xiu's finger.

From the cracks in the ruins, Anthony could vaguely make out the figures of the enemies.

Anthony only saw that the eyes of the enemies were all on the left side of the stronghold, which was in the opposite direction to where he was lurking.

Then, a man in the field, wearing pitch black armor and a windproof hood, pulled out a long knife burning with black flames from the scabbard behind him, and then moved it toward the front of him. Cut down heavily on the dangerous wall!

——Shua! boom! The chopping waves of burning black flames instantly blasted the three-story dangerous wall into powder! And behind the dangerous wall, two panicked figures flashed out at the next moment!

These two figures are wearing robes and clothes belonging to the "Alchemy Institute", the tower of [Intellect] sages. Their identity is a "senior alchemist" with the third destiny of [Intellect], and An "alchemist" with a second destiny.

"Haha..." Executioner Kross's face was full of joy at this time.

"I have discovered you a long time ago, the little bugs of the 'Alchemy Institute'..."

"Let you hear our plan, and then let you die in despair... Tsk, how wonderful..."

"……you!"

An alchemist cursed loudly in the direction of Kolos: "You dirty criminals... your plan can never succeed! It will never be possible!"

"Oh? Really?" Koros looked playful, and the long knife in his hand ignited with ominous black flames again.

The deep light of the black flame only flickered in front of the alchemist who had just shouted, and he suddenly felt the world spinning. A chaotic black mist shrouded his eyes, and he lost all consciousness.

"Executioner" Koros took action, and in an instant, his sword cut off the alchemist's head!

As for the "senior alchemist" next to the alchemist, who had the third level of [intellect], he had no time to feel sad for the sacrifice of his colleagues. He only saw one person in front of him, wearing a crimson striped robe. The old man waved his arm lightly.

——Bah! A skeleton with a strange green light suddenly emerged from the air and flew towards the senior alchemist at high speed!

The alchemist was about to resist, but as soon as his hand touched the devil's sealed object at his waist, the skeleton flew in front of him!

--boom! The skull exploded suddenly, releasing a terrifying tremor of destruction, which instantly turned the senior alchemist's body into dregs!

"...Okay. Now, all the eavesdropping mice have been dealt with."

"Executioner" Koros took back the black flame sword, with a ferocious smile on his face, and said:

"Everyone, I wish you a happy cooperation."

"...I wish you a happy cooperation." The ancestral spirit bishop and the master of the blood sacrifice echoed in unison.

…

…

"Huh...huh..."

Anthony held his knees with both hands, and the cold sweat on his forehead and back couldn't stop breaking out. The panic and fear in his heart made his body tremble uncontrollably.

Just now, "Executioner" Kross and Bishop Zuling took action to kill the two [intellectual] alchemists. Taking advantage of the moment of spiritual chaos at the scene, Luo Xiu quickly evacuated the scene with Anthony.

"In such an environment, being able to escape alive is already the greatest luck..."

Beside Anthony, Luo Xiu spoke.

His face was no longer forced to be calm, but showed the same expression of fear.

"I heard... quite important information."

After a while, Anthony felt calmer and said to Luo Xiu:

"What exactly did they say... Luo Xiu, I will tell you one by one on the way."

"Now, our top priority is to meet with Bishop Fabian immediately!"
