Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 304 The spring breeze of leeks blows all over the ground——

Red Maple City Church, the bishop's seat.

In the bedroom, Luo Xiu, who returned from the "Lost Royal Court", reached out and took off the mask he was wearing.

His goal has been achieved - as the "Lord of the Holy Abyss", he briefly appeared in the players' field of vision, showing them powerful abilities like a real "god", and then announced to them some "oracles" that they couldn't understand but seemed high-end - the image of the "Lord of the Holy Abyss" will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the players from now on, and the "Holy Abyss" will truly become one of the preferred options for players to join the forces.

In order to achieve the main goal of attracting players, Luo Xiu issued a [Hidden Task] to all players in the Holy Abyss while making the "announcement"...

——[Great! Holy Abyss! ]!

The reward for this task is quite a fatal temptation for the players. It is the knowledge that can truly touch the extraordinary. It is the first "extraordinary knowledge" that the players who have descended on Red Maple City can actively contact!

Although it requires a certain price tag - according to Luo Xiu's settings, players who want to obtain the "Engraving Method" of the six major destinies, [Glorious], [Intelligence], [Red Lotus], [Lost], [Nothingness], and [Bitter Tea], need to pay 2,000 experience points.

For current players, 2,000 experience points is still a considerable amount, but Luo Xiu believes that the majority of players will be willing to pay for this "first extraordinary skill".

This is also an important part of Luo Xiu's "experience recovery" - he has set up the "mall" through the panel. When players go to the "Holy Abyss Spring" and trigger the relevant panel of the "Spiritual Spring", the corresponding mall panel will pop up, which lists the skills and knowledge corresponding to the six major destinies, and clearly marked the price.

At present, Luo Xiu has made public to players all the skills and skills that can be learned and used in the "First Destiny".

"Inscription" as a "knowledge commodity" is just the beginning. If players choose to take the path of [Red Lotus], [Lost], [Nothingness] and [Bitter Tea], and are not prepared to join other secret societies, the "Holy Abyss" will form a monopoly on the dissemination of the skills and knowledge of these fates among the player group, and will bring Luo Xiu a steady stream of experience value benefits from then on.

Unless players choose to "teach" each other - that is, the ability to teach the skills or knowledge of the previous fate mastered to the corresponding fate players, but players cannot use "experience" as a medium of transaction. On this basis, "Holy Abyss" will always occupy an important market.

Therefore, Luo Xiu and his "Holy Abyss" will inevitably be the first to obtain "experience". "Holy Abyss", which has an absolute advantage in intelligence, will always lead the trend.

When thinking of this, Luo Xiu, who was peeking at the reactions of players in the [Player Forum], had a smile on his lips.

[Player Forum] has exploded. Several players with peripheral identities in the Border Court, Church and Square Monument Court of Red Maple City have a certain amount of experience points saved because of participating in several previous major events. So they took the lead in choosing to join "Holy Abyss". They have come to the "Holy Abyss Fountain" to pay experience and start to choose the destiny they want to embark on.

Luo Xiu did not prohibit such players with open identities from joining. It is better to say that "Holy Abyss" is a transit station prepared for all players. All players have two identities, open and hidden. It is Luo Xiu's most fundamental purpose to firmly bind their interests with the Holy Abyss.

Among the players with open identities, some want to choose [Red Lotus], [Bitter Tea] and other illegal empire destiny as the first destiny, and Luo Xiu does not stop them.

The Border Court, Church and Square Monument Court crack down on heresy. If a player "steps into the pit", it can serve as a warning. At the same time, it allows players who choose illegal destiny to truly gain a sense of belonging in "Holy Abyss", which is also part of the plan.

Many "individuals" had only a few thousand experience points because they had not participated in the previous major events. Therefore, many of them discussed with each other and prepared to "pay two people's experience" and "obtain one person's knowledge" to make one of them extraordinary first.

This is also an operation allowed within the rules. Luo Xiu did not stop them, but just watched them looking for teammates to cooperate in the royal court with a smile.

They cooperated in various ways - some exchanged experience points with money; some simply "loaned" and promised "you help me pay 1,000 first, and I will pay you 2,000 when I become rich".

For a time, small advertisements looking for teammates were flooded in the chat channel and player forums. More and more players finally gathered enough experience and obtained the first extraordinary skill of the chosen destiny.

Luo Xiu opened the panel and looked at the "Spiritual Spring" that had been bound to him. The accumulated experience points were rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

This is the right way to harvest the leek field - in a short period of time, the experience points accumulated in the "Spring of Spirituality" have increased by more than 480,000 points, and 240 players have embarked on an extraordinary destiny.

...

"What are you laughing at?"

While looking at the panel, Luo Xiu heard a silver bell-like voice in his ears.

It was the "Fallen Angel" Tatia. Although he had only summoned her for one day, Luo Xiu was already familiar with her voice.

Although she shared "senses" with Luo Xiu, she could not see the panel.

So Luo Xiu closed the panel, smiled and said:

"I thought of something happy."

"Happy things?"

Tatya's voice sounded a little confused, "Is it because of those 'Adventors'? I can feel that although they have some differences, they are not extraordinary yet. What's there to be happy about?"

Luo Xiu was about to answer, but Tatya didn't seem to want to give him a chance to answer.

Suddenly, he felt a soft, cold touch from behind him, and a pair of slender arms wrapped around his neck from behind.

Luo Xiu felt his ears being blown gently, and Tatiya's lips seemed to have touched the earlobe, making the ear flaps a little red and itchy.

"You don't need to tell me the answer, Luo Xiu, I want to get it myself~"

As Tatya spoke, the slender arms hooked around Luo Xiu's neck tightened. A faint fragrance filled the air from behind. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the teasing and seductive amber-like eyes of the fallen angel behind him. Hitomi.

"...Tadia."

Luo Xiu looked calm on the surface, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his hand gently placed on Tatia's arm, and he broke away from her arms in a gentle way:

"Sometimes I do wonder, aren't you really a succubus, Tatya?"

"Fallen Angel" Tatia, who exudes the aura of fatal temptation, is really dangerous... This was the first feeling in Luo Xiu's heart at this time.

This feeling of having to fight against "charm" every moment is a thousand times more dangerous than fighting against the taboo temptation of the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" when you were still in a low life...

That doesn't even come from His ability, it's just the seductive charm that He exudes from the inside out. His flawless face and body deepened this charm exponentially.

Luo Xiu sighed inwardly, but he heard the voice of "Fallen Angel" Tatya coming from behind again. Her silver bell-like laughter floated in every corner of the room, and she said softly:

"Yeah, do you hope so, Luo Xiu?"

"As long as you wish, of course I can be a succubus~"

"...Better say goodbye, Tatya." Luo Xiu's mouth twitched slightly.

As if she got enough pleasure from it, Tatia, as an "angel", was just joking and was not prepared to actually do it. Luo Xiu heard him yawn and said in a tired voice:

"Don't worry, Luo Xiu, I'm just making a little joke with you, um, little~"

"I'm very happy, Luo Xiu. I hope I can be equally happy in the future~"

When He finished speaking, Luo Xiu felt that the breath of the "holy" existence behind him disappeared, and Tatia had returned to the "Eternal Kingdom" where He should be.

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Luo Xiu cut off the sensory sharing with Tatya and lay down on the bed.

After clearing his thoughts, Luo Xiu lay on his back on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling.

The influence of "Holy Abyss" among players will take time to fully ferment.

As the bishop of the church and the "Lord of the Holy Abyss", Luo Xiu also needs to seize the last remaining sleep.

What he knows is that he has more important things to do tomorrow.

After taking one last look at the forum to confirm that everything was going as normal, Luo Xiu fell into a deep sleep and fell into a sweet dream soon after.

…

The next day, early morning.

The church's morning bell rang three times, and Luo Xiu woke up from his sweet dream.

After he fully regained consciousness, he got up from the bed, walked to the window and opened the curtains, letting the first ray of sunlight shine in, sweeping away the accumulated air conditioning in the room, and raising fine smoke that continued to rise and fall.

Afterwards, he walked to the clothes rack, grabbed the robe symbolizing the status of "bishop" and put it on himself, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.

Today was the day he and "Holy Deacon" Hubert agreed that he would be officially promoted to "bishop" and the ordination ceremony would be held.

Several "deacons" who knew about it in advance have informed the whole church about the incident. According to normal arrangements, the enthronement ceremony will be held at noon, when the "sun" hangs at its highest point.

Before that, Luo Xiu went to the Holy Office to handle the day's affairs as usual.

After finishing washing, Luo Xiu left the bishop's throne and walked towards the Holy Office.

…

On the way to the Holy Office, several church clergymen passed by Luo Xiu. When they saw the bishop's robe he was wearing, the expressions of piety and admiration on their faces immediately became more respectful.

Luo Xiu smiled and nodded at them, but did not slow down the pace towards the Holy Office.

At the same time, he opened the [Player Forum] and browsed the fermentation of "Holy Abyss" among players.

Hundreds of players who have joined the "Holy Abyss" have left hundreds of posts on the forum, introducing the various sights they saw and the various characters they encountered in the Forgotten Royal Court.

The most important one is the post introducing the "Lord of the Holy Abyss" and the "Fountain of the Holy Abyss" that can pay for experience and absorb extraordinary knowledge.

When the players who got up early saw the major event that happened the night before, they all exploded——

【Thomas the Tank Engine】:woc? What is ‘Holy Abyss’? I just slept and this happened?

[Minimalism]: Huh?

[Ciallo~(∠ω\u003c)⌒★]: I really like the words of the player of "God's Destiny"...

[Minimalism]: Fuck!

[Waiting Party]: Are you there? Who knows how powerful the "Lord of the Holy Abyss" is? Damn it, it’s all question marks! What a mess, family members!

[Waiting Party]: Who knows! It seems that even the would-be bishops of our church can't defeat him, he looks so strong!

【Bush Gomen】: Bush Gomen......

[Pure Love Yellow Hair]: Laxative, I feel so good (cool/cool/cool.gif)

[Pure Love Yellow Hair]: I suggest everyone to join my Nihilism, open up a new world (cool/cool/cool.gif)

[When I hit?]:?

[When I hit?]: What is the gameplay? Detailed

[Listen to the Wind]: Uh... I was thinking, do you think I still have a chance...

[Listen to the Wind]: It seems that the first batch of brothers who joined Shengyuan were wandering around the streets of Hongfeng City at night and met those "Apostles of Shengyuan"? Brothers, is there anyone who wants to team up to try their luck?

[White Knife In Green Knife Out]: +1, take me one

[High-quality Human Repeater]: +1, take me one

[...]

The discussion about "Shengyuan" is more heated than expected, which is a good thing for Luo Xiu.

So far, the hidden task [Great! Shengyuan! 】There are more than 700 players, among whom the majority choose to pay experience to the "Spiritual Spring" in exchange for knowledge of destiny. Including the situation where two people provide one person with extraordinary knowledge, nearly 500 players have learned the "engraving method" and truly embarked on the extraordinary destiny.

And in Luo Xiu's "Spiritual Spring", nearly one million experience points surged overnight. Including the amount stored before, the experience value savings have reached more than one million.

Luo Xiu then closed the panel and felt in a good mood for getting up early.

Afterwards, he arrived at the Holy Office, stepped into this magnificent building full of sacred atmosphere, opened the door of the "Bishops' Room", and prepared to start handling today's church affairs.

And the moment he opened the door, he saw another figure sitting in the side seat, looking up at himself.

Luo Xiu was not surprised - he saw the "Holy Deacon" Hubert. In order to hold the "promotion ceremony" of the bishop, Hubert would come to him to confirm the situation first, which was normal.

"You are here, Luo Xiu." Hubert nodded to Luo Xiu and greeted him.

Luo Xiu also nodded slightly in response, and then came to the main seat and sat down.

"How is the preparation for the promotion ceremony?" Hubert asked Luo Xiu, "I mean, how are you?"

"Everything is fine, Lord Hubert."

Luo Xiu smiled and responded, "As you can see, I am in good condition now."

According to the agreement between Luo Xiu and Hubert, he will perform a sacred ceremony to ask "Zhu Ri Xu Yu" for an oracle at the "Promotion Ceremony" to show his holiness as the "Apostle of Divine Glory".

Hubert was mainly concerned about this matter, and he was quite worried that Luo Xiu's ceremony would fail. But Luo Xiu knew that he had never really communicated with "Xu Yu" since his promotion, so he did not enter the ceremony cooling time. This was also his preparation for special occasions like the promotion ceremony.

Just like he had deliberately stuck to the cooling time of the "Consecration Ceremony" for the "Promotion Task"... It was essentially for the same purpose.

"That's good, Luo Xiu." Huberte nodded.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Then, just as Luo Xiu always had the impression of him - the serious "Holy Deacon" began to talk about serious topics.

"Regarding the previous 'Dragon Hunter', well, I remember his name was 'Los'..."

After organizing his words, Hubert said, "I took him to the 'Fangbei Courtyard' and he underwent a comprehensive examination by two generalists. Last night, Dean Irfan completed the final examination and believed that 'Los' was indeed completely out of Baberon's control and could be regarded as an individual with independent thinking."

"Regarding 'Dragon Hunter' Los, the two generalists said that Baberon's technology for making him was really advanced and weird. They wanted 'Los' to stay in the hospital for a long time for research, and for this they needed to seek the consent of the church, especially yours."

"And 'Los' also showed at the right time that he seemed to have some knowledge of [Intellectual] alchemy and runes. Dean Irfan wanted 'Los' to serve as his assistant temporarily, so he wanted me to ask for your opinion."

... Rockland "slightly understands" alchemy and runes? Luo Xiu suppressed his smile, nodded to Huberte, and said:

"I understand, Lord Huberte. Please tell Dean Erfan that I have no objection, but I hope he will be more cautious and careful when interacting with 'Los'."

"Whether the 'Dragon Hunter' has independent thinking or not, he is always an unstable factor for us."

"You just happened to mention this, Lord Huberte. You know, I will go to Songyuan City in a few days. Therefore, I would like to hand over the heart of 'Los' to you, and ask you to monitor and keep it for me."
