Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 105 Son of Glory
Under the platform, Luo Xiu, Pamier and Connor mixed in the boiling crowd as "guards".

Looking at the body of Lord Rodif hanging high on the gallows, the "Holy Inquisitors" felt unprecedented comfort in their hearts.

This is not as simple as just sanctioning the cancer of a city.

Rodif's death has a deeper meaning - the rulers of the [Supreme] made concessions and compromises to them on the matter of Rodif!
This means that their team of "Holy Inquisitors" led by Anthony will gain more reputation in the "Holy Court" and will receive more resources from the church.

After all, this was a rare "escalation" incident in the history of the Holy Inquisitor, and it was resolved perfectly. Once such incidents involved the background of the [Supreme], they would most likely be taken over by people from the "Attorney General's Office".

And the way those [Supreme] people solve problems is often contrary to [Glory].

For example, they would probably only put Rodif in jail and let a new candidate take over the position of "Lord of Red Maple City", but as for those pagans of the "Ancient Hermitage", the [Supreme] would let them leave freely, because in the eyes of these rulers, "eliminating pagans" would not affect their domination and rule over the secular society.

"Finally..." Connor sighed, and said to Luo Xiu beside him, "Lodifu has finally been killed. Do you want to write a letter to your teacher, the Great Priest Ivan, and tell him about this?"

"I'll find some time." Luo Xiu responded with a smile, "I will tell him about Rodif sooner or later, and he will definitely be happy."

……

Rodif's body will hang on the gallows for seven days and seven nights.

This is the authority displayed by the Supreme to the people, a sign of the end of a conspiracy, and a warning to those with ulterior motives.

However, the "Holy Judges" will not stay any longer. They will soon leave Red Maple City and return to Sina City.

As for "who will take over the position of 'Lord of Red Maple City'" and a series of follow-up issues, the Supreme Arbitrator Randall has other arrangements.

This is a completely "secular" matter. The Holy Judges of [Glory] have no right to intervene and are not interested in it.

……

Red Maple City, Glorious Church.

The Inquisitors packed their luggage for the return journey, and the presiding priest Colen saw them out of the church gate.

"Thank you for your help, Coren." Anthony patted Coren on the shoulder. "May you be blessed with eternal light. The church will send someone to deliver the holy reward you deserve in a few days."

Colen nodded in thanks, feeling a little frightened.

He just felt that he seemed to have only taken a serious approach in this mission of "Judgment of Heresy"...

But Colen didn't say much. He just watched the "Holy Judges" walk onto the main street of Red Maple City and disappear at the end of his sight.

……

Three days later.

The Inquisitor's carriage passed through the jagged mountains and returned to the city of Sina.

Anthony took Rossouw, Connor and Pamier and immediately went to the room in the Inquisition where the "Priest" Leonard handled affairs.

When the "Holy Judges" pushed the door open, Leonard had a barely perceptible smile on his face as he looked at everyone returning.

"It seems that you have done a good job in judging those heretics."

Leonard said this, pushing aside the small mountain of files he was working on and looking at Anthony.

"You all should leave first." Anthony said to Luo Xiu and other members of the Holy Judge, "Next, I will report to the High Priest alone."

……

Bringing all the staff to see the high priest, and then Anthony will report to him alone. This has become the tradition of the "Holy Judge" of the Sina City Church.

The purpose is to allow Leonard to confirm that everyone is alive, or to confirm who died in the mission.

This time, all members of the "Judgment Cult" survived, and it can be seen that the old priest was quite happy.

Rossio, Connor and Pamier then left the "Holy Court" and parted ways in the courtyard of the church.

They each had their own itinerary plans after returning to Sina City.

Luo Xiu went directly to Triumph Square, turned a street and came to the "White Antelope Hotel".

In the White Antelope Hotel, the blonde girl with freckles on her face lit up with excitement when she saw Luo Xiu enter the hotel.

"Ah! It's you!" the blonde girl greeted with a smile. "Are you back from your journey? The room I reserved for you has been cleaned for you."

"Thank you." Luo Xiu nodded and took the room key from the front desk.

But he did not enter the room immediately. Instead, he went to the bathroom of the hotel, locked the door, and then summoned the "Mist Raven", separated the mist shadow and conducted a survey of the room.

After confirming that no one was there, he returned to the original room and locked the door. At this time, Luo Xiu had already started thinking about another very important thing.

——About Anthony’s ongoing “report”!
Anthony, he will definitely tell Priest Leonard about the "Holy Flame Wolf", and Priest Leonard will definitely ask Luo Xiu to meet him soon and ask him in detail about his "Contracted Holy Beast".

For Luo Xiu, this was both a rare opportunity and a fatal trap.

Although Anthony already regarded Luo Xiu as a true teammate, he would not interrogate him with "spiritual pressure" again.

However, if he were to receive further attention from the church and even the "Holy See".

What he is about to face is questioning from higher-level and more powerful extraordinary people!

Luo Xiu's eyes were dark. He leaned on the edge of the bed and thought, while reaching into his arms and taking out a prop that he had never actually used.

He was ready to rely on this prop to deceive the world.

If he can successfully pass the upcoming interrogation, he will be greeted with the greatest possible resources and support from the entire "Church" and even the "Holy See".

……

In Priest Leonard's room.

Anthony sat opposite Leonard and told Leonard about the process of completing the "Judgment of Paganism" mission in Red Maple City.

"I didn't expect it..." Leonard pondered, "This mission turned out to be a trap set by the Lord of Red Maple City and the pagans of the Hermitage."

"Yes." Anthony nodded, his face a little heavy, "We were almost killed there."

"Although I know that the [Lost] pagans do have incredible rituals and secrets..."

Leonard sighed, "But... the Killing Cage, they actually made something like this."

"However, fortunately, you have successfully completed the task of adjudication, and all of you have returned safely without missing a single one."

Leonard said with relief, "You did a great job, Anthony. This is not only a blessing from Su Moment, but also your credit."

“…But this is not my credit.”

Listening to Leonard's comfort, Anthony did not show any joy, but said with some shame:
"The reason why the mission of 'Judgment of Heresy' was successfully completed this time was because of Luo Xiu..."

"He was the one who discovered Rodif's conspiracy and perfectly exposed all the enemy's plans and traps."

"Rosius?" Leonard's tone was a little surprised, "Rosius Carlos?"

"Yes, it's him." Anthony nodded. "Master Priest, it's the young priest you are so optimistic about... I now sincerely feel that your vision is really sharp and your judgment is quite correct."

Priest Leonard nodded. His expression showed surprise for only a moment, and then he returned to calm.

"Is that so... I can indeed tell that he is not an ordinary priest."

Leonard praised, "I didn't expect that he has such extraordinary wisdom."

"Master Priest."

Anthony organized his words and continued to speak to Priest Leonard:

"Not only that... Ross Carlos summoned the 'Golden Sacred Beast' while cooperating in the battle against the pagans."

"Well, as it should be—"

Leonard nodded, but he didn't finish what he was saying out of habit, and the expression on his face was replaced by strong shock.

"What did you say? Holy beast?"

Leonard said loudly: "You said Luo Xiu, he, he summoned the holy beast?"

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Anthony said slowly, "Rosius Carlos, he is the only clergyman in the church below the fourth level who has made a contract with the 'holy beast'..."

"I think that Ross Carlos might be a 'Son of Glory' that only appears once every fifty or even a hundred years among the clergy of our Sina City Church."

"He has every potential to become the new bishop of the Sina City Church."

"He even has the potential to become the future authority holder of the Holy See and the Pope."
