Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 41 The Mastermind (Please Read!)
"——Who is the real mastermind behind this?"

Luo Xiu asked Saint in a deep voice.

Saint scratched his head in a daze. He looked puzzled for a while, then said intermittently:
"Yes... yes... Na-Naif... Arud..."

"Nayef Alood?"

Luo Xiu's eyes narrowed with a playful expression.

This is exactly the name of the senior warrior [Ku Tu] who had raised the price in front of the leader of the "Golden Iris" caravan, Alardin!

"...Go on." Luo Xiu said in a deep voice.

"Nayef...is our...informer...uh..."

Saint said somewhat hesitantly:

"He brought us news about Alardin..."

"He... also wants... 30% of the... stolen goods..."

"..."

Luo Xiu nodded. He probably understood what Nayef was up to.

——Nayef colluded with horse bandits to rob his employer and participated in the division of the spoils; at the same time, he raised the price from his employer and charged multiple times the hire fee!
Luo Xiu was simply astonished.

When Sainte finished his last sentence, his soul began to vibrate violently, and bursts of white mist emerged from the surface of his soul.

Saint's body began to melt and disappear, and finally turned back into a gel-like soul.

This is the longest time that Saint's soul can remain active...

Luo Xiu felt a little regretful, as he originally wanted to ask more questions.

Luo Xiu then used the "Soul Manipulator" to take Saint's soul back into the copper-forged ring.

These are all good things that can be used as "Fenrir feed"...

As he thought about it, Luo Xiu leaned over Saint's body and began to search.

……

After a while.

Luo Xiu began to count the spoils he had obtained.

A bag of money, estimated by weight, contains about twenty Nolan gold coins.

A few bottles of primary or intermediate potions can just make up for the gap in Luo Xiu's potions.

At the same time, Luo Xiu also found a letter without a signature.

The content of the letter was similar to what Saint had told me before, except that the name "Nayef Arud" was not signed on it.

It records the complete itinerary of Alardin's "Golden Iris" caravan and a list of all the goods.

It seems that this is not the first time that Saint and his gang of horse bandits have done this.

If a traveling merchant is always robbed but never killed by the robbers, this can only mean that greater and longer-term benefits can be obtained from him.

For example, Alardin, maybe Nayef has already made a lot of money time and time again by playing both sides...

……

Finally, Luo Xiu took out an exquisitely shaped brooch from the front of Saint's clothes.

Using this as proof of his identity as "Saint", Luo Xiu pondered while quickly going down the mountain with Index and Fenrir.

Right now, Luo Xiu is more concerned about another thing——

That was the movement of "Naif Arud"! He and "Curser" Cavill rode their horses straight to the leaders of the other two "horse bandits". Luo Xiu thought that it would not be a problem to fight two against two.

...But now he feels that the problem is huge!
If Nayef is the traitor, it will only result in a situation of three against one Cavill. Even if Nayef does not want to be exposed too obviously, he will definitely let Cavill win in the fight.

Regardless, Cavill is now in danger.

Luo Xiu was indeed worried about Cavill's safety - but in fact, this was more of a consideration of interests and his own safety. If Cavill died, he would be in a situation where he was alone against three!
At that time, although Luo Xiu would be able to protect himself, he would definitely be restricted!

……

Luo Xiu quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain, rode on a fast horse tied to a tree, and galloped to the other side of the battlefield.

Half of the caravan's carriages were destroyed, and the looting horse bandits were still rampant, but the only remaining horses had been surrounded and protected by the guards.

Therefore, the horse bandits could not cause more serious damage to the caravan for a while.

And the small steel cannon perched on the top of the mountain had also been destroyed by Luo Xiu...

——He had originally wanted to try to use the small steel cannon to "return the tables", but he found that if he was not a transcendent with the destiny of [Intelligence], he would not be able to drive this alchemical creation at all...

It is better to destroy it to prevent the enemy from using it to launch a second attack on the caravan.

Luo Xiu galloped across the battlefield quickly. A few bandits on horseback wanted to chase them, but they were all blown to the ground by Luo Xiu's "Holy Light Annihilation".

After that, the bandits consciously made way for Luo Xiu.

Among the bandits, they have a very clear consensus - the extraordinary people can only be dealt with by the extraordinary people...

……

Luo Xiu soon saw four blurry figures at the end of his vision.

In the distance, black light and red light were constantly intertwining, and cold weapons hit each other with loud clanging sounds. The sound could be heard from far away, and the dull sounds were like waves hitting rocks.

The figures of Nayef and Cavill gradually became clear in Luo Xiu's field of vision.

In the four-man battle group, they all saw Luo Xiu rushing towards them at the same time.

However, neither Nayef nor Kavir showed the joy they should have shown. Instead, their faces became increasingly solemn.

However, they did not take Luo Xiu seriously.

The four people in the regiment are all extraordinary people who have reached the second destiny. They are very clear about the characteristics of the [Glory] second destiny profession "Consecrated Priest".

That is a purely auxiliary profession, and it can only learn rare output sacred arts. These sacred arts alone cannot pose any threat to the battle.

Naif laughed inwardly, glanced at Cavill on the other side, and casually smashed the giant sword in his hand onto the face of the "monk" with the second destiny of [Ku Tu] opposite him.

The "Warrior Monk" held two long black meteorite staffs, with the ends of the staffs turned upwards and smashed heavily on the blade of Naif's giant sword, and roared in a low voice: "Fuck you, do you really want to kill me?"

"Didn't you see that there was a priest there?" Naif said calmly, "He should pretend to be more convincing. In the territory of the Nolan Empire, it's better not to mess with the extraordinary people of [Glorious]..."

While plotting quietly, Nayef glanced at the "Spellcaster" Cavill.

Unlike Nayef, Cavill's group was in a real fight!

Opposite Cavill is the "assassin" with a double destiny, [Ku Tu].

Under a series of bombing-like carpet attacks by "Spellcaster" Cavill, the assassin was agile and avoided the fatal attacks from unimaginable angles time and again.

"Your good brother is in trouble..." The monk said with a smile, "Big sister Zadaza, the 'Poison Scorpion', is the strongest among us."

"Take care of yourself first."

Naif glanced in Luo Xiu's direction and whispered:
"Hey, the priest is coming soon... Do you mind if I give you some scratches?"
