Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 75 "The Generalist" Rockland (Please read~)

Rocklan Schaech, the "universalist"?
When he heard this name, Luo Xiu's expression was slightly stunned.

He had heard of this name when he was in Sina City in his previous life, but he probably had no intersection with this "universalist" Lord Rocklan.

What Luo Xiu cared about was...

The surname of this "universalist" - "Skarchi" is the same as Saint's surname!
Some thoughts emerged in Luo Xiu's mind. After some thought, he roughly organized his subsequent words.

……

"This is the third floor of the 'Square Monument'. We have reached the 'Room of True Knowledge', sir."

The middle-aged scholar nodded to Luo Xiu and said, "Please come in. Lord Rockland is waiting for you inside."

After saying that, the middle-aged scholar stepped back, bowed slightly, and looked at Luo Xiu calmly.

He’s not going in with me…?
Luo Xiu’s thoughts moved slightly.

His identity is the "Holy Judge". As a member of the "Holy Court", visiting the academy under the "Tower of Sages" should not pose any real danger...

But since the middle-aged scholar was not prepared to go in with him, this only meant another thing.

——Ordinary “scholars” are not qualified to attend the conversation that is about to take place.

The next moment, Luo Xiu's panel suddenly jumped, and a new item appeared in the task panel.

[Trigger hidden tasks]

[Hidden Mission: Hidden Secrets (Normal Difficulty)]

[Recommended level: lv.1+, first level of destiny and above]

[Task type: serial task]

[Task Description: After resolving the crisis encountered by the "Golden Iris" caravan, you took a brooch from the body of the looters' leader, the "Alchemist" Sainte Skarchi.

Sensing that there might be some secrets hidden in it, you brought this brooch to the Alchemy Institute in Sina City and successfully attracted the attention of the "Generalist" Rocklan Skarchi. 】

[Mission Objective: Learn the secrets about Saint from Rocklan Skarchi]

[Completion Reward: Basic Experience +1200, Free Attribute Points +1]

"It is indeed a hidden mission..." Luo Xiu murmured secretly.

This is a hidden mission of the ring running type.

Completing the [Hidden Mission: Poisoned Iris] and obtaining the "Saint Schaech" brooch seems to be a prerequisite for triggering this hidden mission.

Generally speaking, the first round of missions is always the easiest to complete and the rewards are relatively ordinary.

But as the tasks are completed and you move on to the next round of tasks, the rewards will become more and more generous.

When he saw the [Hidden Mission: Hidden Secrets (Normal Difficulty)] was triggered, Luo Xiu knew that he had come to the right place this time...

"Okay." Luo Xiu responded to the middle-aged scholar, "Thank you for your help."

"It's just my job."

The middle-aged scholar smiled and said, "Then please allow me to take my leave, sir."

After saying this, the middle-aged scholar turned around, went downstairs, and left the "Room of True Knowledge".

Luo Xiu turned around and walked into the "Room of True Knowledge".

……

After passing through a slightly dim corridor, Luo Xiu's vision suddenly became clear again.

In front of him was a space with a wide view and an interior designed purely by geometry. There were round white-edged window frames hanging on the walls, and rectangular, diamond-shaped, and rhombus-shaped light blue tables and chairs were arranged in a planned manner; a light belt like a conveyor belt connected the two sides, and many alchemical creations driven by "runes" were neatly arranged next to the light belt, performing complex alchemical operations.

After looking around, Luo Xiu heard a sharp metallic buzzing sound.

The next moment, a thin alchemical puppet, almost as tall as a human, staggered out from the side of the "Room of Truth". It walked in front of Luo Xiu and made a mechanical imitation sound:
"——Hello, please, please, please, please, follow me..."

"..."

The puppet then turned around, with a "squeaky" friction sound coming from its body, and it staggered towards the interior of the "Room of True Knowledge".

Luo Xiu followed behind the puppet, going deeper into the "room of true knowledge" and observing.

The puppet that led Luo Xiu into the depths of the "Room of True Knowledge" was an alchemical creation whose [Threat Level] had reached "Distortion".

If the soul of a transcendent with at least a triple destiny is not invested, then the creator must have at least a quadruple destiny level of [Intelligence].

Within the Alchemy Academy, "universalist" is a respectful title for the "great XX masters" who have the quadruple destiny of [Intellect]. For example, the highest level of the "Alchemist" profession is "Grand Alchemist", and the highest level of the "Rune Master" profession is "Grand Rune Master".

Although the Alchemy Academy is named after "alchemy", not all of its members are extraordinary people with the "alchemy" profession.

The Alchemy Institute only operates with the "alchemy" process as the main focus, and many "Rune" professional extraordinary people will also participate in the alchemy process as auxiliary.

……

When it reached a fitted white metal door, the puppet stopped moving.

Then, the puppet raised its dark yellow ring arms and gently touched the metal door.

A dark blue light surged, and the metal door panels that were interlocked with each other opened a slight gap. With a "swish, swish", the doors opened to both sides.

"...Come back, number thirty-three."

A slightly older middle-aged man's voice sounded, "Well done, number 33..."

Luo Xiu looked in the direction of the voice.

In the room behind the door that had just been opened, a middle-aged man dressed neatly and simply was sitting behind a long gray table.

That was the "universalist" Rocklan Scratchi... As soon as Luo Xiu saw him, he detected him through the panel.

Just like when he was detecting Leonard, the "priest" of the church, Luo Xiu could not see the occupation of Rocklan Skarchi, but since he was one of the "generalists" of the "Alchemy Academy", Rocklan should be the "Great Alchemist" or "Great Rune Master".

The puppet called "No. 33" retreated into the wall beside the room, and the "squeaky" sound of the puppet's body also disappeared.

The "generalist" Rocklan raised his head and glanced at Luo Xiu with his eyes slightly narrowed.

"You are a guest, come in." Rockland said, waving his hand gently.

Luo Xiu then walked into the office that belonged to the "generalist" Rockland.

And when Luo Xiu completely stepped into the room, a "swish" sound came from behind him.

The white metal door closed, creating an enclosed environment with only Luo Xiu and Rocklan.

"Okay, please take a seat."

Rockland said slowly:

"My name is Rockland. You can call me by my first name. I am the manager here."

"My students told me that you came here for the matter of 'Saint'."

"...I want to know, where did you know this name?"
