Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 78 Before leaving (Please read on)

Outside the city of Sina, within the boundaries of the Woubo grassland.

In a hidden cave, boxes of goods were half covered by thick cloth.

The other half is exposed on the surface of the box, with some kind of mark in slanted fonts.

If you open these boxes, you will find that the goods packaged inside are not actually ordinary goods.

——It is full of coins circulating in the Norland Empire and commercial bonds issued by the ‘Golden Country’!

…

A slender figure was counting the stolen money hidden here.

The amount of stolen money hidden in this cave is huge, almost equivalent to the accumulation of ten years of hard work by the middle class of the Nolan Empire and hundreds of years of hard work by the civilian class without eating or drinking...

This is the cave where the "traitor warrior" Naif used to hide his stolen money.

According to Intis's rough estimate, the amount of stolen money hidden inside this cave is worth approximately 10,000 Nolan gold coins.

…

Suddenly, Intis felt a severe headache.

Intis then stopped the counting work she was doing. She supported the cave wall and walked tremblingly to the edge of the cave.

This is a reaction to the temporary effect of "Family Engraving"...

Intis knew this, but didn't know why now.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from her mind.

"——Intis..."

"——Yin...Tis..."

"..."

Intis could recognize that this was the voice of her new Lord, "Roseux Carlos".

"Lord...Lord..." Intis sounded a little panicked, beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead, and her body began to tremble slightly.

The process of "family engraving" taking effect is accompanied by a certain amount of pain - from severe headaches to the whole body being as hot as a bath of fire. Therefore, under normal circumstances, this is torture for the person being inscribed.

"——Intis, I'll keep my story short..."

Luo Xiu's voice still echoed in Intis's mind:

"Just within the boundaries of Wowubo Grassland, we found the lair of the horse bandits who previously robbed us..."

"Based on the two names 'Saint' and 'Sed', bring me a purple parchment notebook..."

When he finished saying this, Intis felt that the severe headache suddenly eased.

Her body gradually returned to its normal state, but she still inevitably fell into a period of weakness.

"Saint... Said... Purple Parchment Notes..."

Intis lowered his head and kept murmuring these nouns, thoughtfully.

…

After cutting off the connection with Intis, Luo Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

There was no need for him to go out of the city to the Wawubo Grassland. Even if Intis successfully brought back the code for him, he would have a sufficient alibi in front of the "generalist" Lockland.

I just need to think of a way to avoid Lockland's "Net of Perception"...

Rockland's "Net of Perception" can sense the state of the spiritual master by distinguishing subtle changes in spiritual fluctuations.

This is a very common method among high-level extraordinary beings, and is a method of conducting some kind of "test" on low-level extraordinary beings.

To a large extent, this can be very effective in detecting whether the other person is telling lies or the truth.

"...Sigh." Luo Xiu sighed.

"How to avoid", this question gave Luo Xiu an inexplicable headache.

Because in the future, he will not only have to face one "generalist" Rockland.

Carrying a huge secret, he will inevitably attract prying eyes from other quarters.

…

There is no particularly good method for now, so Luo Xiu simply doesn't think about it so much.

He is still in the second level of destiny, so the attention he can attract at present is still quite limited.

Luo Xiu then relaxed his mind and body, shifted his attention, and began to take stock of this harvest.

Completing the first link of [Hidden Mission: Hidden Secrets] will give you 1,200 points of basic experience and 1 point of free attributes.

After storing the experience points and free attributes first, Luo Xiu took out the "Mysterious Rune Armband" given to him by "General Knowledge" Lockland.

Wearing the "Mysterious Rune Armband", Luo Xiu poured his own spirituality into the armband.

Immediately, the rune carvings on the armband emitted a light blue luster.

Luo Xiu could feel that he seemed to have become wiser.

His perception of the outside world has also become more nuanced.

And this is just the feeling from the improvement of attributes.

In addition, this "secret rune armband" can also provide single injury reduction and single attack damage increase, which has a very good auxiliary effect.

…

Luo Xiu then opened his character panel.

After being officially equipped with this "Mysterious Rune Armband", Luo Xiu's "Wisdom" attribute becomes 15 (+3), and his "Perception" attribute becomes 7 (+3).

The numbers in parentheses are the attribute enhancements given when the corresponding weapon or armor is equipped.

Luo Xiu was not equipped with extraordinary weapons at this time, so the weapon's attribute value was not included in the calculation.

After feeling the intensity change brought about by the "Mysterious Rune Armband" for a while, Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

He felt more and more that he was racing within the intensity range of his "second destiny"...

With his current true strength, he can already compete with most of the "triple destiny" extraordinary beings.

…

While thinking about it, Luo Xiu also started practicing today's "skills".

He began to repeatedly use the "Consecrated Priest" buffing skill on himself, improving his skill proficiency and accumulating experience points gained from practice.

In the past day and a half, Luo Xiu had done a lot.

And he spent the remaining day and a half at the Bailing Hotel.

While temporarily avoiding the limelight of "Blood of Thorns - Shadow of Slaughter", Luo Xiu began to concentrate on familiarizing himself with many of his new abilities, consolidating his own strength, and stabilizing his strength level.

…

The three-day holiday flew by in a flash.

On this day, Luo Xiu got up from the bed very early and put on the formal priest's robe.

After carrying all the extraordinary equipment with him, Luo Xiu packed the daily necessities and some daily clothes into packages and stuffed them into the cabinet, then came to the front desk on the first floor of the "White Ling Hotel".

"...I need to leave for about half a month, so I came to pay the rent in advance."

Luo Xiu said gently to the blond girl with freckles on duty, "I used to live in Room 4 on the second floor."

"Ah, okay! Please wait a moment, let me do the math..."

The blonde girl scratched her hair, counted carefully on her fingers, and then said:

"You stayed here for seven days, seven days is one week..."

"...I'm done! Sir, if I need to reserve the room for you for half a month, you can just pay me four gold coins including the deposit..."

…

After paying the money, Luo Xiu left the "White Antelope Hotel" and headed to the Glory Church in Sina City.

This day was the date that Leonard, the "priest" of the Holy Inquisition, had notified him in advance that he was going to Red Maple City to carry out the "judgment of heresy".

Luo Xiu then came to the Holy Inquisition and came to the door of Leonard's room.

He knocked gently on the familiar old wooden door.

"Come in." Leonard's old but tough voice came out.

Luo Xiu then opened the door and walked in.

"..."

"You're on time."

Leonard, who was working at his desk, raised his head, glanced at Luo Xiu, and said:

"It looks like you're ready?"

"...Yes." Luo Xiu nodded.

Leonard then stood up, walked to Luo Xiu's side, and patted his shoulder.

"Then cheer up."

Leonard said with an unprecedented serious expression on his face:
