Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 52: The Place of Holy Judgement

Chapter 52: The Place of Holy Judgement (Please read on!)
"...Please wait a moment."

The middle-aged priest said solemnly, "I'm going to ask the 'priest' for instructions. You stay here and don't move around."

After saying this, the middle-aged priest walked deeper into the church and soon disappeared among the crowd.

Luo Xiu watched the middle-aged priest leave. He knew that this was a necessary procedure.

……

After a not-so-long wait, the middle-aged priest returned to the church's front yard.

"plz follow me."

The middle-aged priest said to Luo Xiu: "Be careful not to disturb other believers by keeping a low profile."

"I understand." Luo Xiu nodded and followed the middle-aged priest into the depths of the church.

……

Luo Xiu followed the middle-aged priest, passed through the front yard and atrium, and came to the inner courtyard of the church.

The feeling here is completely different from that of the front yard. The core courtyard is not open to ordinary believers. This is considered the internal place for the activities of the [Glory] extraordinary people.

Luo Xiu and the middle-aged priest took a forked road.

After walking along the path for a while, a building that looked like a villa appeared in Luo Xiu's sight.

But it didn't look like a religious building, but more like a barracks. On both sides of the entrance to the villa, there were huge statues of knights.

One of the two knights holds a sword and the other holds an axe. The blades of the weapons in their hands are shining with golden light, making them look sacred and heroic.

"This is the Guardian Knight Colossus."

Seeing Luo Xiu's eyes lingering on the two knight statues, the middle-aged priest smiled and explained: "This is the Holy Court of the Holy Judges."

As he spoke, Luo Xiu saw another familiar figure.

The person who came was carrying a fine steel war hammer on his back and waving in the direction of Luo Xiu.

"——Luo Xiu! Luo Xiu..."

Luo Xiu recognized that it was the "Holy Light Priest" who had been to Dawn Town before, Connor Rune!

Luo Xiu went to meet him. He saw the excitement on Connor's face, so he smiled and greeted him, "Long time no see, Connor."

"...We thought you would come even later."

Connor looked at Luo Xiu and asked in surprise, "You have already been promoted to Extraordinary?"

"Yes."

Luo Xiu nodded. "Not long after you left Dawn Town, I applied for the 'key' from the church, and I opened the door."

As he spoke, Luo Xiu asked in a puzzled tone: "I applied to Sina City. Don't you know about this?"

"...Alas, I don't have enough authority." Connor smiled awkwardly, "I don't have the authority to know this, but congratulations anyway."

"..."

The two of them walked side by side into the Holy Tribunal while chatting.

The interior of the Inquisition, contrary to the sacred style of the church, is more like a police station with various files scattered around.

The internal environment seemed a bit messy, but Luo Xiu knew that considering the duties of the "Holy Judges" to eliminate cultists and resolve "supernatural events", such an environment was still acceptable.

"By the way," Luo Xiu asked Connor, "where is Pamier?"

"Pamier is in the inner room. She said she wanted to train alone."

Connor said, "She usually doesn't go out. I'll take you to see Leonard first. He's one of the 'priests' of the church. You need to pass his assessment first."

"Ok."

Luo Xiu nodded and began to ponder the knowledge about "priests" in his mind.

Generally speaking, within the "Holy Court", "priest" is a middle-level authority.

Usually only those extraordinary people who have reached the fourth level of [Glory] can serve as "priests". They work with the "Church Bishop" to manage the church and are in charge of at least one function within the church.

"... Luo Xiu."

Connor's voice interrupted Luo Xiu's thoughts.

Luo Xiu came back to his senses and saw Connor saying to him with a serious expression: "We are here, you come and knock on the door... After Priest Leonard allows you to enter, you go in alone, I will wait for you outside."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu took a deep breath.

In front of him was a slightly old wooden door, which gave Luo Xiu the feeling that it was the office of an old leader.

He still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Ok."

Luo Xiu nodded to Connor, took another deep breath, and finally raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

"..."

"……Come in."

An old but powerful voice came from inside the door.

Connor patted Luo Xiu's shoulder gently and took two steps back.

Luo Xiu then pushed the door open and walked in.

The first person he saw was an old man with white hair and beard.

That is Leonard, the priest of the Holy Inquisition.

Then, Luo Xiu noticed the muscular neck and arms of Priest Leonard.

Leonard's eyes were as sharp as a knife. Although his hair and beard had turned gray due to aging, his fierce energy and fiery temperament made Luo Xiu feel inexplicably chilled despite the distance between them.

This Leonard priest also reminded Luo Xiu of his past life, a second creation of a character in an anime...

——Like Li! Fan Ma Kongjiro! .jpg
Luo Xiu then closed the door gently and sensibly.

Then he turned around and faced Priest Leonard with a smile.

"Hello... Mr. Priest..."

Luo Xiu's attitude was unprecedentedly gentle. "I am Luo Xiu Carlos, from the Glorious Church in Dawn Town..."

"Ah."

Leonard said "hmm" calmly, just looked up at Luo Xiu slightly, and continued to look through the information at hand.

Looking at Leonard's silent face, Luo Xiu always felt that he would suddenly jump up and explode in the next second, and use his martial virtue to "conquer others with virtue" on Luo Xiu...

While Leonard was browsing the information, Luo Xiu secretly sent a detection to him.

However, since the difference in the depth of destiny was too great, Luo Xiu could only obtain minimal information from the detection.

Leonard Bambers, [Glory] Quadruple Fate, his occupation is invisible... but it should be a "Holy Light Priest" or a "Holy Knight" above.

While thinking, Luo Xiu observed Leonard's appearance.

"Are you Ross Carlos?"

Finally, Leonard put down the information in his hand and asked.

"Yes, it's me."

Luo Xiu nodded, "Excuse me... Regarding my assessment, does it start now?"

“It starts the moment you walk in the door.”

Leonard said in a deep voice, "I heard that you once saved Connor's life? Well done."

"…It's just within my job duties." Luo Xiu said modestly, "Master Priest, may I ask what you need me to do?"

Just as Luo Xiu asked this question.
