Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 48: Settlement Time! (Please read on~)

"..." Luo Xiu was silent for a while, feeling that he was not quite clear-headed.

He seemed to have heard some magical sounds just now.

"...Mr. Duo?" Luo Xiu asked without thinking.

But Alardin was stunned for a moment, then answered in an affirmative tone:
"Mr. Luo Xiu, I will pay you three times the hiring fee. After all, since the deaths of Mr. Naif and Mr. Kavir, you have completed three times the escort for them..."

"..."

Suddenly, Luo Xiu jumped off the carriage.

He took Alardin's hand and held it tightly, then shook it vigorously twice.

"Mr. Alardin...you are really a good man."

Luo Xiu said sincerely, "If there is a chance, we can cooperate again next time..."

Luo Xiu inexplicably thought of his experience as a corporate slave in his previous life.

Do three times the work and get three times the salary... There really is such a good thing!

"..."

……

Sina city, the entrance to the city gate.

Luo Xiu raised his head and looked at the towering solid wall.

The towering stone walls are like a giant embracing the entire city. The well-defined lines on the wall surface allow you to clearly identify each brick used to build the wall.

The surface of this sturdy city wall still retains many traces of knife and axe carving, which serves as an important symbol of the glorious years that this city has experienced.

The guards stood in two rows at the gate, conducting meticulous and detailed inspections.

Alardin walked in front, and Luo Xiuan followed quietly behind Alardin.

Behind them were eight carriages, the first two carrying ordinary guards and the last six carrying the surviving cargo.

When it was Alairdine and his caravan's turn to be inspected, Alairdine showed the guards his merchant credentials.

"Oh, you are a caravan from the Golden Country."

After the guard checked Alardin's ID and found it correct, he smiled and said, "Dear guests from afar, welcome to Sina City."

These guards of Sina City often encountered travelers from foreign countries.

The guards were extremely enthusiastic about merchants like Alardin who could promote the city's economic development.

……

Afterwards, the guards checked the passes of Luo Xiu, the caravan guards, and the grooms in turn.

When Luo Xiu showed his "Priest's Certificate", the guards immediately showed respect and solemnity, and said to Luo Xiu respectfully:
"So you are the Lord of the Holy See Church. Please forgive our overstepping of authority..."

This is the status of the believers of [Glory] in the Nolan Empire... Luo Xiu couldn't help but think so.

……

The Golden Iris Caravan quickly passed the entrance inspection.

Luo Xiu, Alardin and the caravan parted ways in the center of Sina City.

"This is the agreed reward." Before parting, Alardin handed four bulging bags of money to Luo Xiu:
"Mr. Luo Xiu, here are three rewards. Please count them... In addition, there is one more, which is my personal thank-you gift. I hope you won't refuse it."

"...?"

For a moment, Luo Xiu wondered if he was hallucinating again.

Not even just triple the pay...but quadruple the pay!
At one point, Luo Xiu began to wonder if he had accidentally fallen into some capitalist trap.

He took the purse handed to him by Alardin, but did not count it in front of him. He just put the purse in his arms and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Alardin. I trust your credibility as a businessman."

Alardin nodded, then took out an ornament from his pocket and handed it to Luo Xiu, saying:

"Mr. Luo Xiu, this is the emblem of our Manston family... If you come to the Golden Kingdom in the future, you can show this emblem and someone will receive you on behalf of the family."

Luo Xiu nodded and took the emblem from Alardin.

"It's been a pleasant journey with you, Mr. Alardin." Luo Xiu finally nodded and smiled.

At this point, Luo Xiu understood that he had truly gained Alardin's trust.

If he really planned to go to the "Golden Kingdom" in the future, then this family emblem symbolizing the Manston family would become an important proof for his smooth journey.

……

After that, Luo Xiu officially parted ways with Alairdin's "Golden Iris Caravan". According to Alairdin, he needed to go to the local Adventurer's Association in Sina City and hire a few more transcendents with legitimate destiny.

It’s just that the hiring price of this kind of extraordinary people is relatively high...but for Alardin, this is not a big deal.

……

After officially parting with Alardin and others, Luo Xiu did not rush to the church branch, but first found an inn to rest.

After paying the corresponding accommodation fees, Luo Xiu moved into a spacious bedroom.

He lay on the soft bed, completely relaxing his tense mind and body.

After relaxing, Luo Xiu took out the purse given by Alardin from his arms and began to count it carefully.

One gold coin, three gold coins, five gold coins...

Thirty-one, thirty-three...

……

When Luo Xiu counted the last gold coin in the bag, his eyes already exuded a gluttonous look.

——There were fifty gold coins in the purse!

And Alardin gave four bags of money like this... Luo Xiu finally understood the happiness that Nayef and Cavill had before.

After finishing counting the rewards, Luo Xiu opened the player panel he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Above the "Mailbox" icon, a huge red dot is constantly flashing. The rewards for killing extraordinary people such as Zadasha have not yet been claimed.

And the [Limited Time Mission: Poisoned Iris] has not been concluded yet!

"Intis." Luo Xiu called in a low voice.

The figure of a white cat slowly emerged from the window of the hotel bedroom, then it jumped out of the window and landed on Luo Xiu's legs.

Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and stroked the white cat's fur gently.

——Pan cat!
——This is still indispensable metaphysics!

Luo Xiu didn't notice at all that the white cat's eyes now showed a look of three parts confusion and seven parts enjoyment.

When he had petted the cats for a while, Luo Xiu clicked on the settlement of all the "kill rewards" in his mind.

[Kill "Fallen Warlock" Saint (lv.19) and gain 592 basic experience points]

["Fallen Warlock" Saint (lv.19) is 9 levels behind you]

[Kill above your level! Gain 90% extra experience points...]

[Rewards settlement, actual experience points gained: 1125! ]

【…】

[Kill "Poison Scorpion" Zadash (lv.20), gain 628 basic experience points]

[Zadasha (lv.20), the level difference between you and "Poison Scorpion" is 10 levels]

[Kill above your level! Gain 100% extra experience points...]

[Rewards settlement, actual experience points gained: 1256! ]

【…】

[Kill "Monk Butcher" Hurik (lv.18), gain 562 basic experience points]

[“Monk Butcher” Hurik (lv.18) is 8 levels behind you]

[Kill above your level! Gain 80% extra experience points...]

[Rewards settlement, actual experience points gained: 1012! ]

【…】

【…】

After receiving the rewards for killing five second-level extraordinary people, Luo Xiu's experience savings had already exceeded 10,000 points!

Looking at the rich experience pool, Luo Xiu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu finally focused his attention on [Limited Time Mission: Poisoned Iris].

Having already played with the cat once, he was quite confident about his luck at this moment.

"——Mission accomplished." Luo Xiu gave new instructions in his mind.
