Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 340 The world line has long changed——

--【abyss】!

Franya, who is the "Holy Maiden" of the Holy Court, indeed already knows this name... Luo Xiu thought to himself.

This is much earlier than in the previous life - at least one or two years earlier.

In Luo Xiu's memory, according to the normal timeline of "God's Destiny", [Abyss] will not appear until at least version 2.0 of the "Scarlet Moon".

But now... the situation in this life is obviously completely different from that in the previous life.

And in what Franya said, Luo Xiu was keenly aware of another message——

As for how Franya learned the name of [The Abyss], it was the oracle that bestowed upon Pope Lorende, the "Holy Crown", at the end of the day. And all of this started half a year ago - at that time, it was The "Holy Court" discovered traces of suspected "Abyssal Beasts" from an ancient ruins near the imperial capital!

And half a year ago - that happened to be the time when he traveled into "God's Destiny" and came to "Fanor Continent".

At this point, Luo Xiu is basically certain that the early appearance of [The Abyss] must be related to him...or, in other words, it must be related to the "Sacred Code of the Abyss" he holds!

And from this point we can deduce further.

It is not difficult for Luo Xiu to guess that the 2.0 version of "Scarlet Moon" may arrive early, and even the 3.0 version of "Abyss Echo" will also arrive early!

"..."

While thinking about this, Luo Xiu's brows frowned slightly unconsciously, and there was a slightly deep luster in his eyes.

…

Archbishop Sid also glanced at Luo Xiu at this moment and noticed the sad expression on Luo Xiu's face.

But he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Luo Xiu felt some surprise and astonishment after hearing the word "Abyss".

Beside Luo Xiu, the other "Bishops", "Glory Knights" and "Holy Deacons" also had expressions similar to Luo Xiu's on their faces, and they all looked at "Holy Maiden" Franya. I was extremely shocked and shocked by this big news——

This completely subverts their traditional understanding - because in their always "holy" concept, [Glory] has always been sublime, and there is never anything completely contrary to it - let alone the appearance of something completely consistent with [Glory] 】Another fate of betrayal!

Whispering discussions began to be heard from every corner of the Heart Palace. "Saint Maiden" Franya looked around with pale gold eyes, raised her right hand slightly, and pressed it down gently——

Buzz! The invisible and pure divine spirituality instantly burst out from Franya's body, permeating and filling the entire heart palace.

All the [Glory] saints present instantly felt that a surging spirituality seemed to envelope their whole bodies in an instant. The sacred spirituality warmed them, comforted them, and calmed their originally restless and shaking hearts.

The commotion and whispers gradually stopped, and all the [Glory] Saints in the Heart Palace looked at Franya and listened intently to her next words:

“About the [Abyss]—that shouldn’t be explained to you, but now, some unexpected changes have occurred.”

Franya's cold voice then said slowly:

"The evil spirit of [The Abyss] - 'Devil' - has now appeared in Songyuan City."

"I have witnessed Him with my own eyes, and my 'four-winged angels' have confirmed His identity to me."

"It's just that he escaped...I couldn't keep him. But I am still convinced that he is in Songyuan City."

"..."

He escaped... Listening to Franya's explanation, she did not say anything about the "blasphemous demon" Tatya helping her to rescue her...

And it seemed that Archbishop Sid didn't know either.

Franya is hiding all this in order to maintain her divinity as a "radiant saint" in people's eyes?

Luo Xiu was thinking about this, and someone else's voice sounded next to him:

"Your Highness the Saint, what do you need us to do?"

A "bishop" asked Franya loudly.

He had a loud voice and an eager expression. "Saintess" Franya glanced at him and said slowly:

"I need you to pay attention to all clues in Songyuan City that may be related to the [Abyss]. Once you find something, report it to me or to the 'Holy Court' as soon as possible."

"Also, to comply with the 'commandments', I need you to make an oath - an oath to never spread the affairs of the [Abyss], and never to be contaminated by such chaos and taboos."

"Especially our colleagues, those who have embarked on the [Glorious] destiny, but have not reached the 'sainthood' at the extraordinary level, we must not tell them about the existence of the [Abyss]. This is the mandate of the Pope. Consideration is also an early warning from the 'Great Sun'."

"We understand." The bishop who asked the question nodded and retreated to the "bishop" row.

That "saint" asked us to swear an oath... Luo Xiu looked at Franya in front of the Holy See, and silently opened the panel.

For an iron-blooded heretic like him, who had already embarked on the fateful path of the [Abyss] before the "Holy Court" was aware of it, it is impossible to swear an oath, and it is impossible to swear an oath in this life...

He could only use the pseudonym "Roshu Carlos" and just pretend.

But in order to prevent being discovered, he still needs to take some insurance in advance——

It just so happened that Luo Xiu had accumulated more than 200 free attribute points through various task rewards and kill rewards. All of these attribute points were added to the "resistance" attribute!

His "resistance" attribute soared all the way, from the initial 465 points to nearly 700 points.

This attribute value was enough for him to smoothly withstand the spiritual inspection from two "six-fold destiny" saints... Luo Xiu thought.

And he also planned to upgrade [Abyss] from the level of three-fold destiny to the fourth level after returning from Songyuan City.

To cover up the deep spiritual aura emanating from his body, a high value of "resistance" is also the key among the keys.

And when he quietly raised the "resistance" attribute, the [glory] saints around him had already taken the "holy oath" posture and were ready to take the oath.

Luo Xiu also made the same move. He then saw Archbishop Sid raise his right hand and extend three fingers upwards——

"——I swear in the name of Sid Lawrence."

The other [Glorious] saints in the Heart Hall also followed Archbishop Sid to repeat:

"I swear in the name of Luo Xiu Carlos..."

"——I will never step into the spiritual strange path."

"I will never..."

"——I swear to strictly guard the secrets of [Abyss]."

"I swear to..."

"..."

After Archbishop Sid finished reciting a long oath, Luo Xiu's body outline emitted a faint golden light under the effect of the "Holy Oath", and the oath was engraved on the name of "Luo Xiu Carlos"——

But that was obviously not the real name. With the extremely high "resistance" attribute value as a cover and the "fallen angel" Tatia's sin ability blessing, even Archbishop Sid and "Saint" Franya did not see any clues.

When the holy oath was made, "Saint" Frenya watched all the saints complete the oath, and then nodded lightly.

Then, she bowed slightly to all the saints, saluted, and said in a soft tone:

"I know that this may be a bit forced - but please, this is related to the future of the "Holy Court" and even [Glory]..."

"I don't hope to be recognized, I just seek understanding. I hope you can understand that as comrades who believe in and follow the path of [Glory], we can't stay out of it."

"..."

"We understand you, Your Highness."

A "Glorious Knight" returned the holy ceremony to Frenya.

And his words also caused other saints to echo.

The "force" mentioned by Freya is nothing more than asking them not to deviate from the destiny of [Glory] and embark on the forbidden road of [Abyss], and not to spread what they heard today about [Abyss]. These are all reasonable and easy things for the saints of [Glory] in the Heart Hall to do.

Luo Xiu also joined in the response, which made the frosty expression of the "Saint" in front of the Holy Throne gradually melt a little, and a faint smile seemed to hang on the corner of her mouth.

Then, she signaled her fellow robes in the hall to be quiet, and performed the sacrament to them again, saying:

"Thank you for your understanding. And that's all I want to say."

"Please."

"..."

...

After saying the last sentence, Freya sat back in the Holy Throne that belonged to her, and Archbishop Sid stood in the host position unconsciously.

He took over the words of the Saint, and roughly explained the posture of the "devil" to the saints in the hall, as well as some information and clues about the "Holy Court"'s investigation of [Abyss].

But Luo Xiu was not very interested in what Archbishop Sid said afterwards... It was mostly second-hand information, many of which were actually wrong at present, and the amount of information was not much.

When Archbishop Sid finished explaining this, he continued to tell the saints about the problem that the Songyuan City Church urgently needed to face at present - the dangerous situation of the "Hidden Sage" and the "Chief Executioner" appearing in Songyuan City.

Putting aside the unknown crisis of the [Abyss], how to deal with the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman and the "Chief Executioner" Fafnir is the focus of the Songyuan City Church at present.

When Archbishop Sid mentioned this matter, the [Glorious] saints in the Heart Hall began to discuss it enthusiastically, and most of them were some "holy judgment" strategies formulated against these two biggest enemies.

Luo Xiu did not participate in their discussions, but just listened quietly and kept silent.

Because he was going to return to Maple City after the Supreme and the case of the Loggins mansion had a preliminary conclusion, and he did not intend to intervene to help the Songyuan City Church solve the problem of the two "six-fold destiny" enemies.

That was not his obligation - he had actually done everything he should do in Songyuan City, and returning to the Red Maple City Church as soon as possible was his duty as the "bishop" of the Red Maple City Church.

…

"…"

Archbishop Sid, who wanted to hear what Luo Xiu thought about this, looked at Luo Xiu who always remained silent and could only sigh secretly.

Archbishop Sid originally thought that if Luo Xiu could make some suggestions or opinions, he could follow his words and give him some reasonable time - after all, the ability of the "Shenhui Apostle" is very helpful in settling the current dangerous situation. Great help, but the archbishop has also discovered it, and Luo Xiu doesn't seem to want to get involved in this matter.

After the saints of the main church discussed for a while, Archbishop Sid stopped the discussion at the right time and delivered the final speech for this convocation.

"That's it, my comrades - what I want to tell you today are mainly these three things."

"Being prepared to deal with the [Supreme] and the two dangerous enemies is a top priority. As for the [Abyss] - just follow what Her Highness 'Saint' Franya said, collect as much relevant information as possible, At least don’t let it spread outside.”

"We understand, Archbishop."

The saints then offered the sacraments to Archbishop Sid, and then exited the temple in an orderly manner under the watch of the archbishop.

…

And when Luo Xiu followed a "bishop" in front of him and was about to leave the Holy Temple.

"Wait a minute, Luo Xiu."

Archbishop Sid suddenly stopped him, and Luo Xiu stopped.

He turned back, looked at the archbishop with his calm eyes as always, and asked:

"What's the matter, Archbishop?"

Being suddenly stopped by Archbishop Sid, Luo Xiu couldn't help but feel nervous for a moment, but he felt relieved when he saw that Archbishop Sid and the "Saintess" Franya beside him had no strange expressions on their faces.

"You didn't participate in their discussion just now. Do you have any concerns?" the archbishop asked.

"…I beg your pardon, Archbishop."

A slightly apologetic expression appeared on Luo Xiu's face, and he said to the Archbishop in a slightly lower voice:

"After all, I am the bishop of the Red Maple City Church... I think I can't stay here forever, so I can't say too much, and I can't participate in the implementation of opinions or suggestions."

Just like when he was a "social animal" in his previous life, he hated his boss who always planned tasks for him in an unreasonable way - if he didn't intend to go too deep into these, Luo Xiu wouldn't say anything more.

"Okay." Archbishop Sid spread his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"In this case, Luo Xiu..."

Archbishop Sid asked Luo Xiu: "When are you going to go back?"

"About three days later." Luo Xiu responded to the Archbishop, "I still have some injuries on my body, and I will be able to fully recover at about that time."

"Three days..." Archbishop Sid nodded, "That's okay."

"Before that, Luo Xiu."

The archbishop immediately changed his tone and said:

"As the archbishop, I hope you will do one last thing to help Songyuan City Church."

"You say it, Archbishop."

"I need you-"

After a pause, Archbishop Sid's expression became serious and solemn, and he said:

"I need you to preside over sacred rituals as the 'Apostle of Divine Glory' and pray to the Great Sun for a moment - to ask Him to send down an oracle to guide us in the future."
