Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 320 Holy Gift, Level II Authority!

Why did the Saint come here? ... Luo Xiu thought to himself, he had come to the throne of Archbishop Sid and Saint Flanya.

He did not look directly at Saint Flanya, but just glanced at her general image with the corner of his eye.

She was wearing a pure white cloak, and her snow-white hair fell from both sides of her cheeks, fluttering gently; she sat dignified and peacefully, with her hands folded on her knees, like the most exquisite doll or sculpture.

The gauze edge of the cloak just covered half of her face, and the complete face could not be seen clearly, leaving only a delicate outline like porcelain. It is not difficult to imagine the beautiful face under the veil.

Through the layer of gauze, Luo Xiu could vaguely see that the Saint in front of him was slightly closing her eyes, as if she didn't see his arrival.

Luo Xiu could feel that a tranquil, peaceful, pure and sacred spiritual aura was emanating from around Saint Franya.

It was as if that was the natural domain of Saint Franya. Just by being close to her, Luo Xiu felt a faint sense of security from the bottom of his heart.

Luo Xiu was not unfamiliar with this Saint of [Glory].

Based on his memories of his previous life, Luo Xiu knew that "Saint of Glory" Franya Mayerling was a saint of the sixth destiny, and would soon break through that shackles and reach the true "limit of man".

She was the Pope of the "Holy See" and the designated successor of the "Holy Crown" Lorente Mayerling.

And Franya was discovered to have a high Glory suitability by a cardinal of the "Holy See" when she was twelve years old. Since then, she has been adopted by Pope Lorente himself.

Because Franya was born as an orphan whose parents died early, even Franya herself did not know her original surname. Therefore, she was given the surname by Pope Lorente himself and obtained the complete name of "Franya Mayerling".

Pope Lorente and the cardinals of the "Holy See" had high expectations for Franya.

Under the dedicated training of Pope Lorente and the cardinals, Franya's growth far exceeded the original expectations of the "Holy See" for her-

In just one year, she was promoted from a mortal who had never come into contact with the extraordinary to the fourth level of destiny; after that, it took her only two years to break through the bottleneck of "entering the saint" and be promoted to the fifth level of destiny; two years later, she was promoted to the "sixth level of destiny" again, and from then on she truly entered the core of the holy power of the "Holy See"!

With such a fast promotion speed, Franya has left almost all the clergy of the "Holy See" far behind.

Even Pope Lorente's promotion speed was far slower than hers. That is why Pope Lorente and a group of cardinals saw unlimited potential and a bright future in Flanya.

She was therefore named "Saint", and Pope Lorente personally awarded her the Crown of Laurel, and announced that she would be the only successor to the position of the Pope of the "Holy Court".

That is why Pope Lorente had higher expectations for her - he hoped that Flanya could surpass him and achieve the "Eightfold Destiny". Above the demigod, there is a higher realm that exists or can be reached - promotion to the "Ninefold Destiny"! That exists in theory, and it is also the end of [Destiny] that no one has ever touched!

That may be the realm that truly belongs to "God"... It belongs to the pillar gods of the nine great destinies, and the mystery that will be revealed at their level.

But that is also a very, very distant thing.

At least now - Saint Flanya, who is 18 years old like Luo Xiu, has been a saint of the sixth level of destiny of [Glory] for a year.

She should have come for something... to seek an opportunity to break through the "sixth level of destiny" and advance to the seventh level? Or for other things...

Luo Xiu kept guessing in his heart, and he glanced at Saint Flanya on the holy throne from the corner of his eye. She still maintained her previous sitting posture, maintaining that cold, dignified sacred feeling, and seemed indifferent and indifferent to everything around her.

Luo Xiu did not disturb her for the time being, and first performed the sacrament to Archbishop Sid and extended a sacred greeting to him.

"Greetings to you again, may the sun protect and bless you for a moment, and may you be glorious forever, dear Archbishop."

Luo Xiu greeted him so devoutly and respectfully, and Archbishop Sid nodded slightly.

"Well... Luo Xiu Carlos."

"Hubert told me about you. He always said you were excellent. Now it seems... well, what Hubert said was right."

"You have made great achievements in Red Maple City, Luo Xiu. I have always wanted to meet you, hehe... Now the war on the border is basically settled, and you are finally here..."

Sid's voice was steady and heavy, and had a special magnetism. He said:

"Your [Glory] is spiritual and pure. I can feel it - it is like a cloud hidden in the clouds. The light of the sun always radiates a warm glow that warms the world."

"You are the 'Apostle of Divine Light', I was still doubting it, but now it seems... what Hubert told me in the letter is indeed true..."

"You were promoted to the 'Fifth Fate' at the age of 18... You have achieved what you have now, um. This is quite rare in the entire 'Holy Court'."

"Hehe, Luo Xiu. I was wondering what kind of young man could make Hubert praise him and say that he has a talent almost like a 'Saint'... Now, I finally understand."

"You are too kind, Archbishop." Luo Xiu nodded slightly and responded humbly.

"You are very humble, Luo Xiu." Sid nodded, "That's good, but you should also know what kind of reward you will get for your achievements."

"-- Luo Xiu Carlos, you have crushed the offensive attempts of the Dark Principality Army several times, repelled the "Executioner" Koros and the "Hidden Elder" Baberon, and cooperated with Hubert to purify the "Death Birth God Heir" that was raging in Red Maple City..."

"Heh, Luo Xiu, you don't know how many clergymen are inspired and excited by your achievements."

He remembered it very clearly... Even though they were separated by two places, Archbishop Sid knew clearly about the things related to himself as a "bishop"... Luo Xiu thought to himself.

"Even if you say that, it is my duty."

Luo Xiu remained firm and responded calmly, "It is my honor to receive such praise from you."

"Haha, very good, Luo Xiu..."

Sid smiled and nodded again.

"I have felt it, your piety and enthusiasm for the Way of [Glory]."

"Hubert was right about you, you are a talent worth cultivating."

"..."

This time, Luo Xiu did not respond to Archbishop Sid immediately.

His intuition told him that Archbishop Sid would soon say the next words.

Just as he expected, Archbishop Sid continued:

"Luo Xiu, although Hubert has asked you once, I still want to invite you again-"

"Are you willing to stay in Songyuan City, stay in the General Church, and become a member of the 'Bishops'?"

"Luo Xiu Carlos, Hubert should have told you that we will give you the most resources and the best teachings."

"And if you are good enough, we can also report you to the 'Holy See', and you may get the Crown of Laurel from His Holiness the Pope, and give you the name of 'Son of the Holy Son'."

"What do you think, Luo Xiu?" Sure enough... before coming to meet the Archbishop, Luo Xiu thought that Archbishop Sid might invite him again.

But his ambition did not change because of this. Just as he had said to Hubert, he also said to Archbishop Sid:

"I am grateful for your kindness, but I cannot leave, dear Archbishop."

"You know, Red Maple City is located at a critical point. Even if Koros and Baberon temporarily retreated, they are still surrounded by powerful enemies, and there are enemies like the "CEO" who are eyeing them covetously."

After a pause, Luo Xiu continued:

"Therefore, the high-ranking officials of the church are not suitable for temporary replacement... Moreover, the path I can feel and the path I should take is "Judgment" ——The borderland, the battlefield of judgment is the most suitable destination for me. "

"I can feel that it is because I am doing things that are in line with my own path that I can keep improving and continuously receive His power..."

"So, respected Archbishop."

"I still hope to stay in Red Maple City. For the sake of the empire and the "Holy Court", I will judge all the invading heretics until there is no more darkness and haze in my sight."

"..."

"Alas." Archbishop Sid sighed deeply, his eyes drooping, as if he was quite disappointed with Luo Xiu's answer.

"I understand, Luo Xiu."

After that, Sid said slowly:

"According to the precepts of the "Holy Court", I will respect the choice of a "bishop"... But remember, Luo Xiu. If you change your mind at some point in the future, the bishops of the General Church will always keep a seat for you."

Huh... The archbishop did not insist on the invitation, which finally made Luo Xiu relieved.

After that, Archbishop Sid said to Luo Xiu:

"Although you rejected my invitation, Luo Xiu, your achievements are still indelible."

"I will give you the holy gift you deserve - the 'legendary' holy weapon, the second-level authority seal, or the secret sacred skills... Choose, I will give you all."

Legendary equipment, level II authority, or the sacred knowledge of [Glorious]... Sid asked Luo Xiu to choose between the three, and Luo Xiu fell into thought.

To be honest, he doesn't need much equipment now, as for the [Glorious] skills... In Luo Xiu's memory, most of the "Glorious" skills of the five-fold destiny that he can learn will not bring qualitative changes to the improvement of strength, and they are not too rare, Luo Xiu has other ways to obtain them.

What he is most interested in is the level II authority that Archbishop Sid promised to give. This is also the most rare item - even if it is only level I authority, Luo Xiu has only mastered three, and level II authority is even rarer. For Luo Xiu now, there is almost no way to obtain it.

Without much hesitation, Luo Xiu said to Archbishop Sid:

"Thank you for your gift, Archbishop."

"In that case, I hope to get a second-level Holy Seal of Authority."

"Okay, I promise you." Archbishop Sid nodded.

Then, under Luo Xiu's gaze, Archbishop Sid raised his arm and stretched out two fingers.

His fingertips shone with golden light, and golden threads full of [Glorious] spirituality surged, lingered and gathered on them, and finally formed three groups of light chasing each other.

Sid pressed down his fingers, and the three groups of light flew towards Luo Xiu, stopped in front of Luo Xiu, and unfolded into a golden light curtain with complex patterns.

There seemed to be ancient inscriptions written on it. Luo Xiu didn't recognize them, but his panel did--

[Saint Seal of God’s Admonition], this is the first inscription, representing the ‘intermediate authority’.

That is the authority of the Holy Seal that can use a body other than God to declare God. Those who are declared by [Saint Seal of Divine Admonition] will forcibly remove 3~6 status buffs or debuffs that are not [Glory], lock the current status, and ignore the "cannot be purified" and "cannot be expelled" attached to the status. ” entry effect.

[Holy Seal of Redemption], this is the second inscription, representing the ‘intermediate authority’.

That is the authority of the Holy Seal that allows the owner of the authority to "redempt" the sacred realm on a large scale. The field of "Redemption" will last for 10 seconds, which can invalidate most skills that are not [Glory]. At the same time, the intensity of the [Glory] skills that will be used in the "Redemption" field will be greatly enhanced.

[Spirit Seal], this is the third inscription, representing the ‘intermediate authority’.

It is the power of the Holy Seal that can seal off the spirituality, and can suppress the spirituality in the body of extraordinary people who are not [Glorious] destiny within a certain threshold range for a long time. If this threshold is exceeded, the overflowing spirituality will turn into "violent spirituality", causing extremely serious backlash to them.

…

Generally speaking, these three authority imprints correspond to the three aspects of "purification", "domain" and "weakening" respectively.

And the [Saint Seal of Divine Admonition] among them made Luo Xiu suddenly aware of the threat.

If this second-level authority is not obtained from the [Glory] path, it would actually be a huge threat to Luo Xiu - because the "crazy believers" status of the "Holy Abyss Apostles" can be "controlled by this authority" "Divine Admonition" can be lifted, but fortunately, the Archbishop Sid currently holding this authority is [Glory], and he cannot lift the effect of "Crazy Piety" which is also [Glory].

As for the second item [Saint Seal of Redemption], it is not bad, it is a relatively standard domain authority.

As for the third item [Seal of Souls], Luo Xiu was familiar with it - because during the crisis in Sina City, he had heard Bishop Fabian talk about it more than once, the predecessor Alfonso Duran. The special bishop once held this second-level authority, and the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" was also deeply tortured by this holy seal of authority and has still not been able to get rid of it.

Because it was related to Bishop "Alfonso Durant", Luo Xiu originally wanted to choose [Spirit Seal], but after thinking about it, there seemed to be not many occasions where he might be able to use it, so he gave up in the end. idea.

Suppressing spirituality is tantamount to solidifying the opponent's bottleneck, which is more suitable for a protracted battle, or makes it more difficult for a seriously injured opponent to recover from a serious injury... But that is not Luo Xiu's fighting style.

In the end, he chose the first authority, the authority of [God's Holy Seal].

He then mobilized his own spirituality, allowing his spirituality to "fit" the light curtain of the first holy seal, and gradually "integrated", "digested" and "understood" the content of this authority.

At the same time, the other two light curtains inscribed with the holy seal that appeared in front of Luo Xiu gradually became dim and finally disappeared.

When Luo Xiu chose the second-level authority [Saint Seal of Divine Admonition], a new second-level authority skill also appeared in his skill column.
