Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

An "epic" quality staff, this is exactly what Luo Xiu came here for.

Before, Luo Xiu entrusted the epic material dropped by the "Colorful Royal Spider" Gofenna to the dwarf Mir for forging, and agreed with him to pick it up in a week.

Now, although there are still two days left in the "one week" appointment, in this special period, Luo Xiu also wants to get this "epic" weapon as soon as possible.

This is his guarantee to deal with certain potential dangers.

"As expected of Master Mil."

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "It seems that I can take it away today."

"..."

"Yes, I can."

Miel pondered for a while and said, "It is an 'epic' quality weapon made of 'mad evil' monster material. Normally, I need to guard it for three days to prevent the magic from leaking out and forming a curse..."

"But, um."

Mild paused for a moment, and then looked at Luo Xiu with a sharp gaze, and continued, "But since you are a priest... Even if it is cursed, it should not be a problem for you..."

"..."

While speaking, Mil turned around and walked towards the forging room in the depths.

Luo Xiu did not follow him, but detected him while Mil was talking before.

The panel quickly gave feedback, allowing Luo Xiu to see the expected content.

-Dwarf Mil, he has indeed advanced to [Intelligence] "Fourfold Destiny", and his profession has also been promoted from "Rune Forger" to "Rune Magic Forger"!

According to Luo Xiu's memory of the dwarf Mir in his previous life, "forging an 'epic' quality weapon or equipment" is indeed one of the task conditions for his promotion to the fourth level of destiny!

Luo Xiu gradually became excited, looking forward to seeing the finished product made by Mir.

...

Two minutes later, the dwarf Mir came out of the deep room.

He was holding a half-person-high rectangular silver box in his hand, and waves of heart-pounding surges were emanating from the box.

The box contained the 'epic' magic staff...

Luo Xiu watched from afar, and he swallowed unconsciously.

When Mir walked in front of him and put the rectangular silver box on the table, Luo Xiu came over from the side.

"To be honest, this is the most satisfying work I have ever made in my life..."

The dwarf Mir said so, with an extremely proud expression on his face, and then opened the rectangular silver box.

Emerald green light emerged from it, and the surging spirituality was surging in it. When the lid of the silver box was opened, Luo Xiu immediately felt the coolness coming towards him.

He finally saw the magic staff made of the epic quality material "Mad Magic Crystal".

It was a gorgeous staff about half a person's height, and it looked more like a cane in terms of shape; the core material "Mad Magic Crystal" was inlaid in the middle of the staff head, and there were fine and exquisite bright gold inlays around it. This was also an extremely expensive material used to guide the surging spirituality inside the Mad Magic Crystal.

The body of the magic staff was carved from a columnar crystal, exuding a cold breath throughout the body, and a trace of green could be seen flowing in it.

On the body of the staff, other magic crystals of different colors and sizes were also inlaid to balance the surging spirituality contained in the "Mad Magic Crystal", allowing this magic staff to exert its maximum strength and function.

There is no doubt that this is definitely an excellent work, and it deserves the name of "epic".

"...Are you satisfied?"

Beside Luo Xiu, the dwarf Mir suddenly asked, interrupting Luo Xiu's careful observation.

"I am satisfied." Luo Xiu smiled and replied.

But he thought about it and asked Mir: "What are you going to call it?"

"..."

"To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet." Mir shook his head.

As the forger of this epic staff, "naming" is the most basic power of the forger.

"... This staff also has a very special meaning to me."

Mir's face was solemn, and he said seriously: "In the process of forging it, I vaguely understood something, which allowed me to go further and open my next 'door'."

"You opened the 'door'..." Luo Xiu made a surprised expression on his face and responded, "That is to say..."

"Yes." Mir nodded.

"I am now a 'Rune Magician' with a quadruple destiny of [Intelligence]."

"..."

Before Luo Xiu asked him about this, Mir told him about the "promotion", which surprised Luo Xiu a little.

However, on the other hand, he had already gained enough trust from the dwarf Mir.

This is a good thing... Luo Xiu thought so, so he proposed to the dwarf opposite:

"In this case, I have a suggestion...'Poison Bite', this is a name I suddenly thought of just now, and I think it is quite suitable..."

This is the name that Mir gave to the "epic" quality dagger in his previous life. At that time, the dagger was called "Poison Phantom Blade".

"'Poison Bite'?...Poison Bite..."

Mir chewed on the name, his face flushed slightly, and he nodded gently.

"Then do as you say...I like this name very much." Mir said.

When Mir finished his last sentence, a flash of light and shadow floated in front of Luo Xiu, and the specific panel of "Poison Bite" emerged.

[Equipment Name: Poison Bite (Special Pink Epic)]

[Equipment Type: Spell Staff/Extraordinary Weapon/Rune Weapon]

[Equipment Efficiency: Spell Efficiency Increased by 30%, Spell Effect Increased by 30%]

[Equipment Bonus: Wisdom Attribute +22, Divinity Attribute +28, Perception Attribute +16]

[Equipment Requirements: Any Fate Level 4, Divinity Attribute 68+, Perception Attribute 32+, Resistance Attribute 15+]

[Equipment Features]

[Poison Source (Inherent Skill/Special): 50% of the damage caused by "Poison Bite" is converted into "Poison" attribute damage; and all "Poison" attribute damage caused by the caster is regarded as "Original Damage" (can be turned off or on)]

[Colorful Offspring (Active Skill/Rune): You can consume a certain amount of mana to transform into a large number of "Colorful Demon Spider" offspring to bite and chase the enemy. The number of "Colorful Spider" offspring is determined by the caster's "divinity" and "perception", and their health is constant at 1. "Colorful Spider" offspring will cause continuous "poison" attribute damage and are considered "summoned creatures". The source of damage caused by "Colorful Spider" is considered to be the caster. 】

【Venomous Fang (Active Skill/Inherent): All attacks made by the holder of "Poisonous Bite" will apply a layer of "Poisonous Bite" to the target each time the actual "health" is reduced. When "Poisonous Bite" reaches 20/50/100 layers, you can choose to burst it all, causing "origin" damage equal to 10%/20%/50% of the target's health limit (each time "Poisonous Bite" is applied, there is a 1s cooldown, and after "Poisonous Bite" is burst, it cannot be burst again for a certain period of time). 】

【Mad Hell Core (Passive Trigger): Weapons forged with "Mad Hell Crystals". When equipped with this weapon, the amount of damage caused is increased by 30%, and the mana consumption is also increased by 30%. 】

【Residual Magic (Conditional Trigger): This staff is forged with monster materials as the core. The residual magic has not been completely eliminated, and there may be a certain risk of condensing curses or alienation. 】

【……】

Luo Xiu quickly browsed the contents on the panel.

As he expected, "Poison Bite" was the key to the dwarf Mir's promotion to "Rune Magic Forger", making it a "special" epic quality weapon.

And this "special" is reflected in a key ability - "Poison Source", which converts half of the damage caused into "poison" attribute damage, and then converts it into "origin", that is, true damage. This ability has a very high shield penetration efficiency.

At the same time, the "Poison Source" effect, which can be turned off or on at will, also gives Luo Xiu more choices in the battles he may encounter - targeting the enemy's weak attributes, or facing enemies with thick shields and thin blood, often can play a miraculous effect.

The other two skills are standard "epic" staff skills, which summon a large number of demon spider offspring to bite the enemy intensively. The attacks of these "demon spider offspring" are combined with the inherent skill "Poisoned Fangs" to stack "poisonous" layers, which can quickly stack to the detonation point and cause a huge amount of "origin" damage to the enemy!

This is a weapon with a very high "kill line". In Luo Xiu's eyes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a divine weapon.

"... Then, 'Poisonous Bite', I will accept it."

As Luo Xiu said, he picked up the green staff from the silver box and put it into the storage bracelet under Mir's reluctant gaze.

"... Please cherish it."

Mil said in a low voice:

"... To be honest. If you hadn't brought the 'Mad Evil Crystal' and entrusted me to forge it, I would definitely not be willing to sell it. Instead, I would hide it and treasure it."

"I understand."

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "It has a special meaning to you, but also to me."

"... Okay."

Mil didn't want to extend this question, he turned to Luo Xiu and asked:

"By the way. You said before that you came to me for something else...?"

"Yes."

Luo Xiu then stood up and said to Mir seriously: "I need to buy some... no, a large amount of materials that reach 'rare' quality or above, and the 'Heart of the God'."

"'Heart of the God'... and a large amount of 'rare' materials?" Mir was stunned.

"Yes, I need these materials. You should know about the 'Heart of the Gods', and these materials need to be relics from the 'Age of Gods' period, which can come from those ancient creatures or from minerals... In short, I hope to entrust this matter to you."

"..."

"I understand." Mir nodded, but did not immediately agree to Luo Xiu. Instead, he looked thoughtful and murmured, "But..."

"I will advance you five platinum coins."

Before Mir could finish the sentence, Luo Xiu said:

"This is the deposit for the 'Heart of the Gods'. And I plan to buy from you a total of 20 platinum coins worth of rare materials from the 'Age of Gods'. When you collect enough, you can come to the church to find me, and just report the last name 'Carlos'."

"..."

"I accept your commission."

Mir nodded and took the purse containing five platinum coins from Luo Xiu.

"But, twenty platinum coins..."

Mir still looked a little embarrassed, and he said in a low voice, "'Rare' materials from the Age of Gods are not difficult to find. The main problem is the 'Heart of the Gods'. If you can name this name, it means you should also understand it. , the scarcity of this thing..."

"That's why I came to you, Master Mir."

A bright smile spread across Luo Xiu's face, "I believe in your ability and connections, Master Mir."

Mir: "..."

The dwarf master was silent for a while, then he suddenly turned around and walked towards the back room again.

There was a sound of rummaging, and about two minutes later, Mir walked out of the back room. He was holding a bronze key and a bluish bronze engraved mask in his hand.

"...These are for you."

Mir put the bronze key and the bronze mask into Luo Xiu's hands, and then said:

"I will try to find the things you entrusted, but there is no guarantee that I can find them or find them all..."

"So, I suggest you try your luck at the antiquities auction at the Black Sword Mansion. Maybe you can find the things you want there."

"...This is my room key and mask at their place."

"..."

"'Black Sword Mansion' antiquities auction?"

Luo Xiu's expression was slightly stunned, and his eyes became playful.

It was not that he was unfamiliar with the term, on the contrary, he was quite familiar with it.

In his previous life, Luo Xiu was a frequent visitor there.

"Black Sword Mansion" is also one of the secret associations in the Nolan Empire. However, they have a special background and have always maintained a neutral position with the three legal fates.

It was an organization that controlled many secret underground auction houses. There are many products that are simply unavailable on the market or difficult to circulate, and you can often see them here.

And Mir could actually have their room key, and at the same time, he also had a mask that showed his qualifications... This made Luo Xiu a little surprised for a moment.

It seems that Mir's background may be deeper than he thought...

Seeing Luo Xiu looking thoughtful, the dwarf Mir seemed a little dissatisfied. He snorted with a heavy nasal voice and said:

"This is not a gift to you! If you buy the 'Heart of the Gods' there, remember to return both the key and the mask to me!"

"..."

…

Sina City, Triumph Square.

At dawn, Luo Xiu returned to the Bailing Hotel and his room.

He locked the doors and windows, and a beam of golden light rose from his fingertips. Then he took out the bronze key and mask and began to look at them carefully.

This was an unexpected surprise. He unexpectedly obtained the qualification to enter the "Black Sword Mansion" auction...

Entrusting Mir to purchase the "Heart of the Gods", Luo Xiu was indeed not completely at ease. He would go to the auction to try his luck himself. This was a safe insurance...

"Heart of the Gods", as well as those "rare" materials from the Age of Gods, these are Luo Xiu's preparations to summon and contract the "gods". He must complete this before the trial war officially comes.

Obtaining the specialty "Lord of All Spirits" revealed by the "Ancestral Spirit Bishop", this plus one "god" contract slot has inexplicably increased Luo Xiu's workload... Luo Xiu smiled bitterly and shook his head gently. Shake his head.

He secretly decided to go to the "Black Sword Mansion" when he finds time later. Maybe he would gain something else.

After that, Luo Xiu put away the keys and mask, and opened his character panel.

A burst of light and shadow floated in front of his eyes, and densely packed words and data appeared in front of him.

Luo Xiu's eyes then fell on his nearly 200,000 experience value storage.

"It feels like it's almost time..."

Luo Xiu pondered, and then he focused on the "upgrade" option.

The old storm has just subsided, but a greater disaster is still brewing, and it will eventually fall on everyone equally.

The time has come.

Luo Xiu Durant, he is ready for the third promotion of [Glorious] destiny.
