Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

When Rockland finished telling about the past of "Saint", Luo Xiu's panel popped up the completion prompt of the first ring [Hidden Mission: Hidden Secrets].

At the same time, the panel automatically accepted the second ring mission [Forbidden Notebook].

Luo Xiu quickly browsed through the mission introduction. There are two options for the second ring mission.

With "retrieve the forbidden notebook" as the basic goal, Luo Xiu can choose whether to return the notebook to Rockland.

The forbidden notebook from "Ced Skarchi"... As the filthy knowledge of [Intellectual] destiny, it is actually not very meaningful to Luo Xiu. Luo Xiu has something more taboo than this thing.

As for whether to return the notebook to Rockland... Luo Xiu is still a little hesitant.

Because this also involves another problem-if Rockland wants to retrieve the notebook through him, does he want to prevent the filthy knowledge inside from leaking out? Or is there another purpose...

While Luo Xiu was thinking, he heard Rockland say:

"The information you know about 'Saint'..."

"Well, I hope you can tell me in detail. I will give you the reward you deserve on behalf of the 'Skarchi' family and the Alchemy Institute."

"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded after a little thought.

Then, Luo Xiu told Rockland in detail that "Saint" became a bandit leader and robbed caravans; he made some rune transformations on the small steel cannon; the weapon he used was a double-edged sword with some ominous things crawling, etc.

"..." Rockland listened carefully, frowning at the same time.

After Luo Xiu finished telling what he knew about "Saint", Rockland said slowly:

"The...squirming ominous double-edged sword you mentioned is the product of filthy knowledge."

"However, now that we know, Saint was a horse bandit in the Woupo grassland..."

"I think his hiding place should be nearby, and Sayde's "forbidden handbook" is also hidden there."

Luo Xiu nodded, and didn't say anything else, just waiting for Rockland to say the next words.

"Then, Luo Xiu." Rockland said, "I will give you a reward as I said before..."

Rockland clapped his hands, and a "--boom boom" sound came from the wall on one side.

After a while, a secret door opened in the wall, and a sturdy puppet with a round body walked out.

The puppet slowly walked towards Rockland, hugging its copper arms with complex circuits, and its metallic hands holding a silver-gray armband engraved with light blue runes.

When the puppet walked to Rockland's side, Rockland took the armband and handed it to Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu reached out to take it, and he listened to Rockland saying:

"This is the rune equipment recently developed by the alchemists of the Alchemy Academy - the 'Mysterious Rune Armband', which can increase your wisdom and inspiration..."

"I think, although our fates are different, it should be helpful to you."

"..."

At the moment when he took the armband from Rockland, Luo Xiu's panel refreshed the data of the "Mysterious Rune Armband" at the same time.

[Equipment name: Mystical Rune Armlet (Blue Rare)]

[Equipment type: Wristband/Superb Equipment/Rune Equipment]

[Equipment efficiency: Skill cooldown time reduced by 20%]

[Equipment addition: Wisdom attribute +3, Perception attribute +3]

[Equipment requirements: Any second-level destiny, Wisdom attribute 14+, Perception attribute 6+]

[Equipment characteristics at a glance]

[Mysterious thirst (active skill/inherent): When the wearer attacks, the single damage value is increased according to the "Wisdom" attribute. ]

[……]

This is a "Blue Rare" quality superb equipment.

So far, this is the third "Blue Rare" quality superb equipment that Luo Xiu has obtained.

"White Oak Staff" and "Moon Scythe" are both weapons...but this "Mystical Rune Armlet" is the first "Superb Armor" that Luo Xiu has obtained.

"Thank you for your gift, Lord Rockland." Luo Xiu nodded in thanks.

Rockland nodded, and then continued:

"Well, Luo Xiu. There is one more thing..."

After completing the gift of the "Mysterious Rune Armband", Rockland started a new topic.

Luo Xiu keenly realized that what Rockland was going to say next might be about "retrieval of the notebook"...

"Next is my personal commission. I want to entrust you to help me retrieve the notebook of Sayde." Rockland said sincerely.

"..."

Sure enough, it was such a commission...

Luo Xiu thought, this is the basic goal of the hidden task [Forbidden Notebook].

"Now you are the only one who really knows where 'Saint' might be hiding. You are not destined to [intellect], so it is most appropriate for you to retrieve the notebook for me."

A kind smile appeared on Rockland's face, and he asked Luo Xiu in a requesting tone:

"Are you willing to do me this favor? Don't worry, I will give you a more generous reward when you retrieve Sayid's notebook."

"..."

"I can try... but I can't guarantee that I can do it."

Luo Xiu answered honestly, "Because, as you know, the Woupo grassland is really too big..."

"Then I will take it as that you agree to accept my commission." Rockland smiled.

Luo Xiu did not answer, but nodded gently.

Then, a serious expression appeared on Rockland's face, and his voice turned low, saying:

"For this commission, I hope you can keep it secret as much as possible... You should understand what I mean."

"Okay, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded.

Seeing Luo Xiu's statement, Rockland returned to his original friendly face again.

"Then I'll leave it to you... Now, I can only hope that 'things are in people'." Rockland said at last.

...

After that, Luo Xiu left "Between True Knowledge".

The purpose of his trip to the Alchemy Academy was to try to trigger the hidden task.

Now, the hidden task has been triggered, and the first ring of the task has been completed on the spot, and he has officially received the commission from the "General Knowledge" Rockland.

"Find the taboo notebook of 'Sed Skarchi'..."

Luo Xiu was walking and thinking on the main street of Triumph Square.

He did have a ready-made method to retrieve Said's "taboo scroll" without having to go there himself.

Luo Xiu then returned to the White Antelope Hotel and returned to his room.

He sat on the edge of the bed, meditating on the technique of "Abyss Inscription" in his mind.

A variant of "Abyss Inscription"...

--"Family Inscription"!

After a moment's wait, Luo Xiu made a brief contact with Intis, who was hundreds of miles away.
