Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Captain Anthony, he began to suspect Lord Rodif.

This was the result of Luo Xiu's deliberate guidance.

——When he mentioned that the information about the exploration of the "Ancient Hermitage" base may have been leaked, anyone who was rational and sober would think of "there is a ghost inside".

Then, after eliminating the suspicion of teammates, they would naturally go up or downstream and make deeper speculations.

——For example, the "information provider", Lord Rodif.

And what the truth is, in Luo Xiu's eyes, is not important.

All he has to do is just to plant a seed called "doubt".

...

"Luo Xiu..." Captain Anthony's eyes suddenly turned to him, "I remember that at the beginning, you seemed to be dissatisfied with the 'Lord of Rodifu'."

"Can you tell me why?"

"...Of course, Captain."

Luo Xiu sighed and said, "It's about my teacher, the retired former Holy Judge 'Ivan Jimel'."

So, Luo Xiu shared with his teammates how the "Lord of Rodifu" deceived Ivan to help him 'clean up the filth' and how he humiliated him in public.

...

As Luo Xiu stated, Anthony and Connor's faces gradually became ugly.

Pamier's face could not be seen clearly under the helmet, but it was not difficult to hear from her heavy breathing that the mood of this cold female knight was also experiencing some ups and downs.

"That fat bald man... He is openly challenging the majesty of the 'Holy See'." Anthony's tone became unusually cold.

When Anthony changed the title of "Lord of Lodifu" to "Fat Baldy", Luo Xiu knew that his teammates had officially stood on the same front with him.

Anthony turned his eyes to Luo Xiu, his face became kind again, and he said comfortingly:

"Luo Xiu... I can understand your anger."

"'Ivan Jimei', um, I have heard of this name. He must be an excellent priest, so that he can teach such an excellent student like you."

"Even if he is not the 'Holy Judge' now, it does not mean that the majesty of the 'Holy Court' can be trampled on at will."

"Don't worry, including this 'information leak', plus the experience of your teacher, the 'Ivan' priest, we will go to the mansion early tomorrow morning to hold Lodifu accountable."

"..."

Anthony's words have already reached this point, and Luo Xiu has nothing to add.

After discussing some minor trivialities, the gathering of the "Holy Judge" team was disbanded again.

Before dawn, the "holy judges" should seize the last sleep.

...

Luo Xiu returned to his room.

He lay on the hardwood bed, thinking about his previous experience.

If, apart from the guidance given to his teammates, he only analyzed the truth from the information he knew, he could almost get the answer.

Those ordinary people who disguised themselves as "holy servants" are actually criminals.

This is a crucial point.

And the "criminals" should be the underground prison in the mansion.

This can be understood as a direct instruction from "Lord of Lodifu".

But this cannot be directly confessed to Anthony and others, because the identity of ordinary people cannot be judged by the exposed spiritual fluctuations like the extraordinary people.

Then, if it is determined that "Lord of Lodifu" did intentionally mislead and lure them to the "disguised" base.

... Then what is his purpose? What benefits can he get from it?

Luo Xiu is mainly thinking about this question.

If we analyze from many TV dramas and movies I have watched in my previous life, one of the most likely motives of "Lordif City Lord" is to disguise "death row prisoners" as "hermitage" believers and deliberately give the "Holy Court" holy judges performance to expand his own personal connections.

This is indeed a very common trick in the aristocratic class.

I say you are a bandit, then you are a bandit, and you will be eliminated.jpg

Then, the nobles can use these "head performance" to exchange for praise and rewards from higher levels.

But if it is just like this, the two genuine "holy servants" who have lost their first fate should not be left in front of the entrance of the "Ancient Hermitage" base... That will only really leave a handle for "collaboration with the enemy".

Therefore, in Luo Xiu's view, if we only analyze the motives of "Lordif" from the perspective of political interests, it seems that we will only get countless paradoxes.

He has vaguely realized that "Lordif City Lord" does not seem to be simply pursuing some kind of political or financial interests.

If, if the two "holy servants" who had lost their lives, and the entire "holy judge" team including himself, were all "consumables" in the eyes of Lodifu.

——This is more like some kind of evil sacrifice.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu felt a sense of fear.

If the truth is indeed like this, then if the previous "probing" of the pagan stronghold had gone deeper, it might really have encountered great terror.

…

"Fog night." Luo Xiu called softly.

From the beams of the church room, an inconspicuous dark mist suddenly trembled.

The fog-hidden raven flew out of the shadows and hovered on Luo Xiu's shoulder.

Luo Xiu gathered his spirituality and connected himself with the raven's vision.

He gave the raven "Fog Night" a new command, letting it fly out of the dome of the church and fly to the main street of Red Maple City farther away.

Luo Xiu's vision overlapped with "Fog Night". He lay flat on the bed, sensing the vision when flying, just like playing VR in his previous life.

He decided to "see" the truth himself.

...

Fog Night finally landed on the windowsill of a reddish-brown building.

——The "City Lord's Mansion" of Red Maple City, where Rodif lived.

A hazy mist began to spread around Fog Night, and it completely hid its figure in the mist.

It hid all its breath and flew into the interior of the City Lord's Mansion, looking for the specific location of "Lord Rodif".

Da, Da, Da——

There were footsteps coming from a room on the top floor.

Fog Night turned into black mist and drilled in through the crack of the door, then hid in the corner of the curtains, peeking at everything in the room.

This is a room with quite luxurious decoration.

The room was filled with furniture made of various precious woods, and a dazzling array of exquisite jade and gold utensils were placed on the antique shelves against the wall.

Behind a large golden nanmu desk in the middle, there was an oil painting called "Noble on a War Horse" framed with exaggerated jewelry inlay craftsmanship.

The armored noble in the picture did not wear a heavy knight's mask, but fully revealed his face - a round face, wavy curly hair, and two small upturned mustaches, which was a very fashionable style among the aristocracy.

When Luo Xiu moved sideways with the perspective of "Fog Night", he saw the source of the footsteps that had been heard before.

...That was a piece of fat meat covered in a noble velvet suit.

His hair was long gone, but his beard still retained the upturned shape in the portrait.

The panel detection showed that it was "Lord of Lodifu". He was looking worried and looked at the letter he was holding tightly in his hand from time to time.

——A secret letter from the "Ancient Hermitage".

I will update another chapter by surprise =w=, and when I wake up, I will update another chapter this afternoon, and then I will clean up and put it on the shelves tomorrow.
