Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

When he saw the priest of the "Holy Judge" suddenly appearing in front of him, a trace of panic appeared on Rodive's face.

But Rodiff quickly hid his unfavorable expression, and a fox-like cunningness flashed in his eyes.

"Who let you in?"

Rodive asked in a deep voice, "In the morning, I can count you as 'on official business'. But now, according to the [supreme] law, I can apply to the Department of Justice to convict you of breaking into a private house."

"Don't be so nervous, Rodive."

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "My companions have surrounded this place. Because of 'Alonso', who is obsessed with him, he accused you again..."

Rodive: "..."

Rodiff's eyes suddenly became fierce, but in the current situation, Rodiff was like a roaring beast trapped in a trap.

"This damn infidel, what did he say?!"

Rodive cursed angrily in a low voice, but Luo Xiu shook his head.

"Lordif City Lord... I think you should have seen the scene outside the window just now."

Luo Xiu no longer laughed with Rodive, but suppressed his smile and said: "Lodiv Walden, I don't think we need to continue acting."

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Luo Xiu Carlos. I am a student of the priest 'Evan Dimel' who presides over at 'Morning Town - Glory Church'. I don't know, City Lord, are you still familiar with this name?"

Luo Xiu chose to reveal his identity at this point. He calmly stared at the fat and big-eared city lord opposite with an indifferent expression.

Rodive's brows furrowed tightly, as if he was thinking hard about something.

Suddenly, he relaxed his brows and said to Luo Xiu in a relaxed tone:

"Ah, I remembered that it was the priest who came to Red Maple City a few days ago to preside over the ritual ceremony... If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was a magician."

His expression was full of joking:

"It turns out that you are his student. No wonder, no wonder... We were all very happy that day. Your teacher brought endless happiness to everyone. I think, isn't this the meaning of your [Glory] existence?"

When talking about "Ivan", the clouds on Lodiv's face suddenly dissipated. He smiled and said to Luo Xiu: "If, if your teacher, the great priest Ivan, is dissatisfied with me, I can make up for it." His, no matter how much it costs..."

"..."

Luo Xiu watched his performance calmly.

Rodive, he is quite ignorant in defying the authority of the "Holy Court" so confidently.

In fact, like most ordinary "officials" in the Nolan Empire, their awe for the [Glory] Holy Court only remains at the level of town-level "church" members.

As for the "Nolan Empire" under the rule of the [Supreme], even though the [Glory] Holy Court controls the empire's "Holy Faith" authority, it cannot shake the dominance of the [Supreme].

This also breeds ignorant and fearless "worms" like Rodive.

Although Rodive is not a "superhuman", he is an official at the level of "city lord".

If divided according to the hierarchy of secular power, the actual power held by "Lodiv" is roughly equivalent to that of Priest Leonard.

And he is just a dog raised by the [Supreme] man. He is the extended claws of the [Supreme].

Therefore, Luo Xiu was very cautious about how to deal with "Lodiv".

Because the identity represented by Rodive is not just an "ordinary person", if he plays the advantageous card of his hidden hand rashly, it will easily lead to endless trouble.

This trouble does not come from "Lodiv", but from the "Supreme", from the "will of the empire".

Even if it can be proven that "Lodiv is treason" and "Lodiv is a collaborator," the truth is often that the [Supreme] doesn't care about these.

The matter of "Lodiv" was handled beyond his authority when there was insufficient evidence. Even if "Lodiv" could be executed by legal means, it would easily arouse the hatred and suspicion of the [Supreme].

That's why Luo Xiu chose to "wait" before, waiting for Rodive to show his bigger flaws.

To the point where even the [Supreme] can't stand it anymore, if the "Holy Judges" take action to "trial" Lodiv, there won't be any problems.

And only by forcing Rodive into a desperate situation in this way can Luo Xiu avoid alerting the "Ancient Hermitage" and achieve a thunderous blow against this group of real enemies!

Now Luo Xiu no longer has any worries.

…

"Lodiv...you really made a good suggestion."

Luo Xiu nodded slightly and responded with a smile to Rodive.

"But you made a mistake. I'm not here to negotiate terms with you..."

Luo Xiu looked at Rodive calmly, and at the same time gently rubbed the ring on his finger.

Then, he said with an indifferent expression:

"——I'm here to kill you."

…

In Lodiff's eyes, from amusement to suspicion to fear, countless dark purple tentacles spurted out from the ring.

These tentacles poured into Lodiv's body, causing him to immediately lose all ability to move. His body was shaking like an electric shock, and his two eyeballs were completely turned upward.

The "soul manipulators" have firmly locked Rodive's soul. Under Luo Xiu's instructions, these "tentacles" began to stir up his soul, and finally smashed it into a ball of paste.

This was a method to almost completely wipe out Rodive's consciousness, but Luo Xiu still retained the last "surviving" memory area.

"——Lodiv, say it." Luo Xiu said in a deep voice.

"——Tell me the true location of the stronghold of the 'Ancient Hermitage'."

"..."

"In...in..."

"In...Mawei Street...Alley 16..."

"...Mawei Street...Alley No. 16..."

"...Ponytail...Sixteen..."

"..."

Rodive, who had lost most of his will, could only repeat these few words.

After confirming that Rodive was already "brain dead," Luo Xiu withdrew the "Soul Manipulator" and turned around to leave the room.

Rodive was once again alone in the room.

He was salivating at the corner of his mouth and kept repeating vague sentences.

…

Red Maple City—the palace of the city lord.

Outside the courtyard.

When Connor intercepted Lodiv's secret message from the "Mage's Hand", he headed east to meet up with Captain Anthony.

The original assignment of the "Holy Judges" was that Anthony guarded the east side of the mansion, Pamier guarded the west side, Connor guarded the south side, and Luo Xiu guarded the north side - except for Luo Xiu who temporarily stole the house, the other three They all guarded their position meticulously and refused to let go of any disturbance.

And when Connor found Anthony and told him that he had intercepted "Lodiv's secret message", Anthony showed a happy smile for the first time in a long time.

"...This counts as success in catching that old fox by the tail."

As Anthony spoke, he glanced at the north of the mansion where Luo Xiu was, and said:

"Go and join the others, we have enough evidence."

"Then the next step is to confront Lodiv and state his charges face to face."

"Rodiff Walden, he must have run out of words..."

Work hard every day!

Today is the fifth watch of Liuli! (forced truth)

The update will be resumed at 9pm tomorrow, I have to take a break =w=
