Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 38: Golden Iris Caravan (Please read on!)
"—Father!"

Alardin shouted loudly at the door of the Glorious Church.

"Is the priest here? Father! I am Alardin..."

"..."

——With a creaky sound, the door hinges turned and the door of the Glorious Church opened.

Ivan glanced at Alardin, then at the magnificent carriage behind him.

"Good morning, Mr. Alardin..."

Ivan said with a complicated expression, "Your caravan is really... really luxurious..."

Hearing the sound coming from outside, Luo Xiu also walked out of the church.

He immediately noticed the blinding ornament on Alardin's neck.

He immediately understood why Mr. Alardin said that his caravan was always vulnerable to being robbed by bandits.

...If you don't rob me of this, you're wasting the natural resources! You're unworthy of being a bandit!
Ivan looked at Luo Xiu, then at Alardin's carriage.

Finally, Ivan turned his gaze back to Luo Xiu, indicating that he should make his own decision.

Ivan's intuition told him that if Luo Xiu followed Alardin's caravan, he would probably encounter a lot of trouble.

He felt a little regretful that he had agreed to Alardin too early...

But Luo Xiu acted very calm. After thinking for a while, he asked:
"Mr. Alardin... I heard that your caravan is also planning to go to Sina City?"

"Yes, this little priest."

Alardin was in a very good mood. "Are you the one who wants to go with us? I have heard from Father Ivan."

"Yes, it's me."

Luo Xiu nodded and said, "I swear in the name of 'Xu Yu' that I will protect you and ensure you reach Sina City safely."

……

Ta-ta, tap-ta.

——Squeak, squeak…

On the post road leading to Sina City, the sound of horse hooves rose and fell rhythmically.

The sound of hooves accompanied by the sound of the wheel axles turning was like a symphony without melody.

Luo Xiu sat in the carriage at the back of the caravan - the "Golden Iris" mainly stored valuable goods in the back half of the caravan, while the front half carried merchants, ordinary guards and rotating grooms.

Luo Xiu was not the only one in the carriage where he was.

Opposite Luo Xiu, there were two other people sitting, one was a stern man wearing a wizard hat, and the other was an old warrior holding a huge steel sword.

The man wearing a wizard hat had the brim covering the upper half of his face, while the lower half was full of ravines and maggot-like bumps, making him look quite scary.

From time to time, he would reach out and lower the brim of his wizard hat, as if he didn't want others to see his face clearly.

On the other side, the old soldier was resting with his eyes closed. The breeze coming through the car window made his silver hair frizzle, but he remained calm and unmoved.

The three people in the carriage maintained a strange silence for a while.

……

While observing the two people opposite him, Luo Xiu sent out detection signals to them.

The panel gave feedback quickly, allowing Luo Xiu to know their details at a glance.

First is the stern man in a wizard hat, and the panel shows almost all his information.

[Cavel Stitch (lv.19, ordinary NPC)]

[Race: Human]

[Rank: Extraordinary]

[Health: 140/140, Mana: ? ]

[Physical Attack: 12, Spell Attack: 28, Defense Reduction: 6]

[Attributes: Strength 6, Constitution 14, Agility 7, Wisdom 14, Divinity?, Perception 8, Resistance 4, Luck 6]

[The First Fate: Lost Fate (Second Level)]

[Main occupation: Spellcaster]

【…】

His name is "Kavel Stitch", he is a transcendent with a double destiny of [Lost], and his profession is "Spellcaster".

——The destiny of the Lost is the destiny that advocates "spirituality over everything". They connect themselves to the sea of ​​spirituality and are able to skillfully control the elements of nature...

They can also use themselves as a medium to perform many incredible spells, sorcery and magic. And another old warrior, named "Naif Arud".

The sum of Naif's various attribute values ​​is almost the same as Cavill's. He is a transcendent with the second destiny of [Ku Tu], and his profession is "senior warrior".

——The destiny of [Ku Tu] is to advocate "the sanctification of the physical body". They admire a physical body as hard as iron, constantly hone their martial arts, and truly infuse extraordinary spirituality into the growth of the physical body, in order to temper the physical body to the extreme.

For example, Balin, the old blacksmith in Chenxi Town, is a transcendent with the destiny of [Kutu]. This destiny is completely opposite to that of [Honglian] who believes in "flesh, blood, bitterness and weakness". Therefore, the believers of [Kutu] and [Honglian] are like water and fire.

They are all extraordinary people hired by Alardin...?
Luo Xiu pondered, in the territory of the Nolan Empire, [Lost] and [Bitter Tea] are both illegal fates...

So they all came from other countries following Alardin's caravan?

Or, did Alardin hire illegal superhumans from the superhuman black market of the Nolan Empire?

In accordance with social etiquette, Luo Xiu spoke first and greeted the "Spellcaster" Cavill who was sitting opposite him:

"……Hello?"

"...Hello."

"..."

Cavill just uttered two words and remained silent.

Luo Xiu felt that around Cavill, the air seemed to be filled with a cold atmosphere that seemed to "keep people at a distance."

"Hello? I'm Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu Carlos."

Luo Xiu extended his hand to Cavill, "What's your name?"

Cavill was stunned for a moment, and his sight, which was blocked by the brimmed hat, seemed to rise slightly. After a while, he reached out his hand, shook Luo Xiu's hand and said:

"...Kavill."

"..."

Oh my god... Luo Xiu felt that if he said a few more words to Cavill, his toes would be so awkward that he could dig out a three-bedroom apartment...

At this moment, Nayef, the soldier sitting next to Kavir, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Oh...a new friend."

Nayef smiled and said, "I am Nayef. Sorry, I was just practicing 'breathing'..."

"Breathing control"... Luo Xiu thought that among the extraordinary people of [Ku Tu], there was indeed a skill similar to "meditation" for practicing.

Luo Xiu nodded and extended his hand to Naif: "Hello, I am Luo Xiu Carlos."

Naif also reached out his hand and shook Luo Xiu's hand vigorously, then asked curiously: "From your appearance, you should be a priest of [Glorious]? How did you get hired by Alardin to be a caravan guard?"

"I'm just passing by." Luo Xiu replied with a smile, "What about you two?"

"We all come from El Dorado."

Naif smiled and said, "You know the Golden Country, right? It's the Golden Country of the Merchant Confederation. The Golden Iris Caravan led by Mr. Alardin came all the way here from the Golden Country."

"I see." Luo Xiu nodded. It seemed that it was not illegal employment, so there would be no big problem.

Naif continued, "Kavill and I are both extraordinary people who have signed long-term employment contracts with Mr. Alardin. Well, Mr. Alardin is really generous. Even if he almost loses all his money every time he goes on a business trip, he will definitely give you a lot of employment money..."

"..."

...Wait, all the money lost?
Luo Xiu keenly captured the key words and glanced at Nayef with a slightly suspicious look.

Nayef still kept smiling, waved his hand calmly and said:

"Don't be so surprised, my friend... You should be able to see that Alardin actually doesn't know what a 'real' businessman is. He is just following the will of his family to accumulate 'traveling' experience..."

Oh... now I totally understand.

Luo Xiu's expression was a little dull. Isn't this "If you fail in starting a business, you can only go home and inherit billions of assets"...

"Okay, I understand." Luo Xiu nodded. "However, since we have been hired by Mr. Alardin as guards, I think we should still fulfill our duties."

"Yes, you are right." Nayef smiled, "But if you really encounter someone robbing the caravan, I suggest you protect yourself first..."

He didn't finish his words.

--boom! ! !

Outside the curtain window of the carriage, a huge explosion sounded.

Luo Xiu felt that the carriage he was in suddenly shook violently.

Outside the window, there were the neighing of horses, occasional cries of people, and the sound of cloth tearing.

Luo Xiu's pupils shrank slightly. All this showed one fact -

"...Fuck! The looters came so quickly?!"
