Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Lockland's information is true. Luo Xiu has confirmed this through the feedback from the panel.

For mission objectives such as "collecting clues" and "finding whereabouts", as long as the "suspected" correct information is told to the mission client, and then the authenticity is confirmed through the feedback from the panel, this is a confirmation method unique to players.

After confirming that the information is correct and knowing that the dwarves of the "gravel" clan are indeed trapped in the "black crystal factory" of the hidden omniscient, Luo Xiu closed the panel and looked at the dwarf Mir who was still in a daze.

His right hand still maintained the hand shape of holding the bronze dragon scales before, and the water cup in his left hand was shaking slightly, but Mir didn't notice it at all.

After a long silence and astonishment, Mir asked with a trembling voice:

"Where are they?"

"..."

"According to the clues I got, they are trapped in an underground factory."

Luo Xiu considered his tone and said, "That is the factory secretly built by the 'Hidden Omniscient' outside Songyuan City, and your compatriots... the people of 'Sand' seem to have been abducted by them, working day and night as the basis for the operation of the factory."

"However, it's not too late now. I'm ready to go to Songyuan City, and I should leave within a week. At that time, I will also participate in the operation to destroy the factory."

"..."

"So that's it..." Mir came back to his senses and nodded in a daze.

"Why can't I get any news from them? It's because of this... 'Hidden Omniscient'? They..."

"You can calm down first, Mir." Luo Xiu comforted him, "I will intervene in this matter and protect their safety as much as possible."

"You can wait for my news with peace of mind, Mir. Hongfeng City still needs you. As for the affairs of your people, you can leave it to me with confidence."

"Okay, okay..." Mir nodded heavily.

After that, he exhaled a long breath, returned to his normal state of mind, and said:

"You are right, Luo Xiu... I am too anxious. I wanted to put down my work here and go to Songyuan City with you... But it's unrealistic to think about it."

"Then, everything is up to you, Luo Xiu."

"By the way, wait for me, I have something for you..."

As he said, Mir jumped off the stool, turned around and walked into the small room at the back, and then there was a sound of rummaging.

Two minutes later, Mir came out, holding a necklace inlaid with azure gems in his hand.

"This is the 'Shelter of the Heavenly Lake', Luo Xiu."

Mil shook the necklace in his hand and said:

"It can continuously provide a shield for the wearer, and after crushing it, it will create an invincible field that suppresses spirituality, thereby protecting the wearer from harm for a certain period of time."

"If you really meet my people, please give them this necklace in the interval between your battle with the enemy, so that they can protect themselves enough..."

Looking at the pleading expression on Mir's face, Luo Xiu did not say much, but silently took the necklace from Mir.

What he did not tell Mir was that his "gravel" people had actually been planted with rune steel seals... They may not have self-awareness, and this necklace is useless to them.

But there is no need to tell Mir these, Luo Xiu nodded and said: "I will try my best."

...

After that, Luo Xiu stopped disturbing Mir's work.

He wanted to confirm the authenticity of the information, so he left Mir's room.

When he went down to the courtyard of the forging manor, he saw a girl with delicate features and short hair jumping into the manor. She was wearing the clothes of a forger's apprentice and holding a thin-handled forging hammer in her hand.

That was the "Adventer" with the ID "Shuangyue 123".

Luo Xiu looked over and met Shuangyue's eyes.

In Luo Xiu's memory of his previous life, this was also a very famous player -

Her ID during the internal test was "Shuangyue 123", and after the public test was launched, she finally got "Shuangyue".

Whether it was the internal test or the public test, she took the [Intellectual] destiny route and was a famous beautiful forger in the player circle.

However, Shuangyue in the previous life did not join Mir's forging manor, but directly joined the "Fangbeiyuan"... The reason why he could see her here was also because of his interference, which led to a major change in the plot of Red Maple City.

When he met Shuangyue's eyes, Luo Xiu showed a faint smile on his face and nodded slightly to Shuangyue.

After that, Luo Xiu naturally moved his sight away, passed by Shimotsuki, and walked out of the gate of the manor courtyard under her gaze.

Shimotsuki was stunned. She turned her head and looked at the gradually receding back of the church's "high priest" Luo Xiu Carlos, her face slightly flushed.

"——Is that the church's... high priest?!"

Shimotsuki murmured. This was the first time she saw the appearance of the high priest "Luo Xiu Carlos" up close, and she was a little surprised that he was so young.

He looked like his peers. I don't know if it was a psychological factor, but he was more mature and more handsome than most of his peers.

Looking closely, Shimotsuki felt a strong sense of intimacy from Luo Xiu.

"But... that Luo Xiu Carlos, what is he doing in this manor?" While daydreaming, Shimotsuki also had doubts in her heart.

She didn't think much about it and quickly put it behind her mind, preparing to experience her apprentice life today.

Shimokie looked around and found that her master, the senior forger "Kannad Vimas", had not come yet. As an apprentice, she didn't have any orders that she could complete independently, so she found a small stone pier to sit down and wait.

She didn't wait for Canard first, but for another player.

"Thomas the Tank Engine" appeared at the door of the manor. He looked around for a while, found Shimokie, and trotted towards her.

"Hey, guess who I saw on the way here?" Thomas said excitedly, "I saw the high priest of the church, and saw 'Roshu Carlos' himself!"

"He just left the manor." Shuangyue raised her head, "I guess he might be here to find Master Mir. If the bishop-in-chief of the church wants to make equipment, only Master Mir is qualified in the whole manor..."

"Well, let's not talk about this for now." Shuangyue stood up, patted the dust off his clothes, looked at Thomas and said, "You said yesterday that you were going to make a weapon?"

"Oh, yes! I said yesterday that I would customize a weapon of 'green rare' quality!" Thomas nodded vigorously, and saw Shuangyue walking towards the first floor of the manor villa.

As she walked, she said, "Come with me, Thomas. My 'master' hasn't come yet, I'll take you to the storage room first."

"Although you probably can't afford most of the extraordinary weapons or equipment there... but there are a few inferior items in the custom orders delivered previously, which don't meet the delivery conditions, um."

"So they are stored here, and the manor plans to sell them at a discount. You might try your luck and see if you can find some good things."

...

After talking to Mir about the "gravel" clan, Luo Xiu returned to the church the same way.

Along the way, he saw many players who went online early after sleeping in their "real world" and were ready to finish their respective [new home] tasks.

This group of players "arrived" here, and it has only been a day now, and they are still in a stage of being curious about all kinds of things.

At that time, Luo Xiu designed a task goal for them to complete 12 hours of work, and a large number of players only had the last few hours left.

Now is the final sprint stage for players, just for the opportunity to "join the Border Court, the Church and the Square Monument Court" in the task reward.

And through the background panel to monitor the completion of the task acceptors, Luo Xiu has also determined the candidates who are ready to be officially accepted as members of the church, as well as the list of people recommended to the Border Court and the Square Monument Court.

In fact, it is basically the most simple way of drawing lines - for example, the first 30% of players who complete the [New Home] task will be qualified to join the church, the Border Court and the Square Monument Court.

As for the remaining 70% of players, Luo Xiu will also give them the next [New Home·Two] task, slightly increase the task reward, and continue to show them the opportunity to join the church, the Border Court and the Square Monument Court.

His ultimate goal is to allow as many players as possible to have an official identity, but before that, it is indeed necessary to "stratify" the players - more active and powerful players will enjoy better treatment earlier, and can also explore the way for later players and stimulate the enthusiasm of players.

This can also reduce the pressure of supporting these players... Luo Xiu thought.

After that, he needs to consider more things. A large number of players will soon touch the supernatural. How should the first supernatural skill, "engraving", be taught to the players? And how should the keys for players to "promote" be prepared...

In Luo Xiu's plan, these two arrangements are important stages of recovering the cost.

The former will allow Luo Xiu to gain a large amount of experience points through the "Spiritual Fountain", and the latter can "recover the salary" of the players. They are also very important means of controlling the players.

But these are all subsequent arrangements...While thinking, Luo Xiu has returned to the church and walked into the door of the church.

...

Put aside these arrangements about the players in his mind for the time being.

Luo Xiu is going to do another more important thing first-

The materials he will use to summon the "angel" have completed the spiritual nourishment!

On the Suyu altar in the inner courtyard, those materials are already filled with the spirituality of [Glorious], and they can be used to summon angels.

Luo Xiu walked quickly to the Xuyu altar and the holy pillars built around the altar. In the stone altar on the top, the materials of "rare" quality or above were filled, and the surface was already glowing with hazy golden light.

Picking them up one by one from the altar and putting them back into the storage bracelet, Luo Xiu finally walked to the statue of Xuyu.

Under his statue, in the largest altar, the heart of the god of "Spirit of Heavenly Fire" was quietly placed there. The original bright red flame light inside it had now been condensed into dazzling bright gold.

Luo Xiu held the heart of the god in both hands and put it back into the bracelet. After that, he went straight to the "Holy Seat of the Bishop", came to the bedroom, and pulled up two layers of Yaojin barrier.

After completing these, Luo Xiu activated the dragon claw imprint and teleported to the Lost King's Court.

The hall was empty, and all the "apostles" would not be allowed to enter here without permission.

Luo Xiu then stood up from the golden throne and walked out of the hall.

The scene outside the temple was completely different from that in the main hall. Dozens of apostles with third and fourth fates were urging their thousands of followers who stayed in the royal court to work on the construction in the royal court.

Luo Xiu saw Intis from afar. She was concentrating on directing other "apostles" and seemed not to notice the arrival of the "Lord".

Luo Xiu did not interfere with them, but ran straight to a building that had been built long ago - another glorious altar built here in imitation of the church's "Moment Altar"!

This was originally built for the apostles with the fate of [Glory] in the "Holy Abyss", but now it is a backup place for Luo Xiu to secretly summon "Angels".

When he came to the altar, Luo Xiu took out the "Heavenly Fire Spirit" divine heart and placed it in the center of the altar.

After that, other materials were placed from high to low quality, from the inner ring to the outer ring.

According to the ritual required to summon the "Angel" in his memory, Luo Xiu has arranged the materials into the prototype of the ritual formation.

But this is not the end. Luo Xiu then took out a black magic crystal from the bracelet.

——That is the "Death Birth Spirit Crystal" dropped by the "Death Birth God Heir" after his death!

What Luo Xiu took out was an "epic" quality "Death Birth Residual Crystal".

Placing the Death Birth Residual Crystal next to the "Heart of the Sky Fire Spirit" God's Heart, feeling the death spirituality contained in it like a reef, emitting waves of deep fluctuations under the surging [Glorious] spirituality around, Luo Xiu nodded imperceptibly.

Then, he took three steps back to the outer ring of the formation, and gradually raised his hands to both sides.

After completing the arrangement of all the materials, the technical knowledge related to the "Angel Divine Contract" immediately emerged in his mind, and the [Glorious] spirituality madly dispersed and swept from his body to the outside, until it completely covered the entire altar site.

The surface of all materials also revealed dazzling golden light, which resonated with the [Glorious] spirituality emanating from Luo Xiu's body.

Luo Xiu's eyes also burst out with golden light like the sun, and the noble divine light has covered the outline of his body. He uttered a sacred, low chant:

"——I chant in the name of divine glory!"

"——I pray for the divine revelation!"

"——The guardians of the sacred, glorious kingdom,"

"——The noble wings, the eternal followers!"

"——I pray for your response, I praise with piety;"

"——I pray for your coming, I dedicate my soul!"

"——I chant in the name of Luo Xiu Durant!"

"..."

——Buzz! ! !

Suddenly, there were waves of ethereal humming in the air. The materials on the altar had turned into spiritual threads and flowed into the "Heart of the God" in the center, forming a giant cocoon woven with golden light.

Everything around seemed to be still, leaving only the dazzling golden light surging in front of Luo Xiu's eyes, which gradually gathered into the incarnation of another great existence.

At the same time, new words appeared on Luo Xiu's panel at the same time -

[You have summoned: "Two-winged Angel" Tatia]

[He is the 'Fallen Angel', you have caused the advent of taboo. ]
