Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Red Maple City, Glory Church.

The clergyman here is a priest of the second destiny of [Glory].

After confirming the identities of Luo Xiu and his party, the priest led them to a small courtyard deep in the church.

Captain Anthony, he was sitting by the fountain of the "Valkyrie Statue", reading a book quietly.

He was a middle-aged man with brown curly hair and a gloomy temperament like a poet.

He carried a steel warhammer of the same model as Connor on his back, and the reflection of the scales under his velvet robe revealed his profession to some extent.

And through the detection of the panel, Luo Xiu also confirmed his guess.

——Anthony is a [Glory] triple destiny, and his profession is "Purifying Priest".

This is one of the optional professions for the promotion route from the "Holy Light Priest" of the second destiny, which further enhances the physical output strength of the "priest".

Not only that, Anthony also has a secondary profession.

He is also a "trainee priest" of the first destiny of [Glory]!

In the game "God's Destiny", the native NPCs are not limited to one main profession. They can also practice the secondary profession of "Second Destiny", or practice other professions of this destiny as "secondary professions".

After quickly browsing Anthony's panel, Luo Xiu was thinking quickly at the same time.

"Captain Anthony would choose 'apprentice priest' as his second career route... Well, there should be a reason for Leonard." Luo Xiu concluded.

After all, under the strict selection of "Priest" Leonard, the normal second destiny "consecrated priest" has no chance to join the "Holy Judge".

Perhaps it is for this reason that Captain Anthony wants to do a part-time job.

...

"You are here."

When he noticed that Luo Xiu, Connor and Pamier entered the courtyard, Anthony closed the book in his hand and stood up with a smile.

"Pamier, Connor, long time no see..."

Anthony greeted them and then looked at Luo Xiu.

"You are the new 'consecrated priest', Luo Xiu Carlos, right? I have heard about it from Priest Leonard." Anthony greeted with a smile.

"Yes, I am Luo Xiu Carlos."

Luo Xiu nodded slightly, "Hello, Captain Anthony, may you be glorious forever..."

Anthony's eyes lingered on Luo Xiu for a long time, then nodded and said:

"You are indeed a unique 'consecrated priest'."

"I now sincerely feel that Priest Leonard's vision is correct."

"..."

Extraordinary people like Anthony, who have more than three fates, can detect Luo Xiu's strength range with their outstanding perception.

Although they do not have a data panel that is detailed to "values", they also have self-built concepts such as "vitality contained in the body" and "muscle reaction power" for attributes such as "physique" and "agility".

Anthony felt the magnificent vitality from Luo Xiu's body.

He soon understood why Luo Xiu was called "special priest" by Leonard in his letter, and why Luo Xiu was the only one who could be recognized by the sharp-eyed priest.

"Welcome to join, Luo Xiu."

Anthony smiled and said:

"If it were normal, I should hold a welcome party for your joining..."

"But now is a special period, we still have the task of Holy Judgement to perform..."

"So, I hope you can enter the working state of "Holy Judge" as soon as possible, and cooperate with us to complete the work of "Judgment" this time..."

Then, Anthony added:

"Don't worry, Luo Xiu. After the task is completed, I will make up for this welcome party for you."

He is quite nice...

Luo Xiu couldn't help thinking so, and at the same time he saw Connor coming over and whispering in his ear:

"Don't believe what he said, he also said so when he borrowed money and didn't pay it back..."

"..."

Luo Xiu was speechless for a moment, thought about it, and nodded politely to Anthony.

"Okay."

...

In a room that was not ventilated in the church courtyard

Anthony sat at the head of a round table, with a stack of files in front of him.

"Then, let me explain the current situation."

Anthony said with a serious face, "Our enemy is a secret organization called the 'Ancient Hermitage'. They suddenly appeared in Red Maple City because of an undiscovered 'ancient existence'."

"Regarding the relevant matters of the 'Ancient Hermitage', I have entrusted Priest Leonard to relay them to you."

Anthony stretched out his hand, pulled out a file with his fingers and spread it out, handing it to Pamier, Connor and Luo Xiu to circulate between them.

This is an investigation report on the "Ancient Hermitage" and the "Ancient Seal".

The general record is that the seal of the "Ancient Existence" somewhere in Red Maple City suddenly loosened for some reason, and the escaping breath was sensed by the people of the "Ancient Hermitage".

The "Ancient Hermitage" that sensed the breath of the ancient existence immediately sneaked into Red Maple City and searched everywhere for the traces of this "ancient existence".

However, they had not yet found the sealed entrance, and after searching in vain, this group of "Lost" hermits resorted to a more radical method of obtaining intelligence.

They sneaked into the palace of the city lord, slaughtered a group of palace guards guarding the treasury, and stole many key information such as maps and a large amount of money from the city lord of Lodiv.

…

While everyone was circulating it, Luo Xiu had an inexplicable idea in his mind that "the Ancient Hermitage is an ally."

"so."

Luo Xiu asked, "The Lord of Suffering... ah no, the Lord of Lodiv, is he stingy with his money, so he asked us to 'judge' this group of heretics so that we can help him find his money?"

"..." Anthony was stunned, looked at Luo Xiu with a confused look, and asked:

"Do you have any grudge against the Lord of Lodiv?"

"Kind of."

"..."

Feeling that he seemed to have asked unnecessary questions, Captain Anthony coughed twice and said:

"Ahem... I support resolving personal grudges on the spot, but this must be done after the mission is completed."

"Now, the common enemy between us and the City Lord's Mansion is the Ancient Hermitage. This gathering is to convey this information to you in advance."

Afterwards, Captain Anthony relieved himself of his serious state and said to Luo Xiu and the other three people:

"Okay. You just arrived, and this is the end of this first meeting."

"The church has arranged accommodation for you, so you can take a short rest. When night falls, we will go to the identified pagan strongholds to explore their details..."

After saying that, Captain Anthony let out a long yawn.

Before Luo Xiu and the others could respond, Anthony walked out of the room.

…

Luo Xiu, Pamier, and Connor also dispersed immediately, and Luo Xiu went to the prepared bedroom in the church.

The familiar church-style decoration came into view. Luo Xiu was lying on the hardwood bed, thinking about the information about the "Ancient Hermitage" and the Lord of "Lodiv".

Luo Xiu recalled over and over again that there was indeed no memory of this secret organization and the Lord of "Lodiv" in his previous life.

This shows that they have indeed failed to stir up any disturbance worthy of their attention, so it should not be considered a big deal.

But, just when he was thinking.

Luo Xiu suddenly felt a burning heat coming from his chest.

He then unbuttoned his lapel, took out and opened the handful of cloth bags in his arms.

This is where the fever comes from.

Opening the cloth bag, what was sealed inside was the "Fragment of King Isol's Crown" taken from the armor mound of "Immortal Rider" Greville.

Above the fragments of the crown, a strange spiritual surge was coming out, as if being attracted by something.

Immediately, a new panel prompt appeared in front of Luo Xiu.

[King Isol’s crown fragment (1/4), resonated]

[Trigger hidden mission: The End of Hesitation (Hard Difficulty)]

【……】

"Is this...the resonance of the same origin seal?

‘Ancient Hermitage’…ancient seal…”

Luo Xiu rubbed the crown fragment in his hand, thoughtfully.
