Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 78 Before Leaving

Chapter 78 Before Leaving (Please Read Meow)
On the outskirts of Sina City, within the boundaries of the Woupo grassland.

In a hidden cave, there were boxes of goods, half covered by thick cloth.

The other half was exposed on the surface of the box, with some kind of marking made in crooked fonts.

If you open these boxes, you will find that what is packed inside is not actually ordinary goods.

——It’s full of coins circulating in the Nolan Empire and commercial notes issued by the ‘Golden Country’!

……

A slender figure was counting the stolen money hidden here.

The amount of stolen money hidden in this cave is huge, almost equivalent to the accumulation of ten years of hard work and a hundred years of hard work by the middle class of the Nolan Empire and the civilian class, without eating or drinking...

This is the cave where the "traitor fighter" Nayef hid the stolen money.

According to Intis's rough estimate, the amount of stolen money hidden in this cave is worth nearly 10,000 Nolan gold coins.

……

Suddenly, Index felt a severe headache coming up.

Index stopped the inventory work at hand, and she held on to the wall and walked to the edge of the cave tremblingly.

This is the temporary effect of the "Family Inscription"...

Index knew this, but she didn't know why now.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from her mind.

"——Intis…"

"——In...Intis..."

"..."

Index could recognize that this was the voice of her new master, "Roshu Carlos".

"My... Lord..." Intis' tone was a little frightened. Beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead and her body began to tremble slightly.

The process of "Dependent Inscription" taking effect is accompanied by a certain amount of pain - from severe headaches to the whole body feeling as if it were burning with fire. Therefore, under normal circumstances, this is torture for the person being inscribed.

"——Intis, let me make it short..."

Luo Xiu's voice still echoed in Index's mind:

"It's right inside the Wowubo grassland, and we found the lair of the bandits who robbed horses before..."

"Based on the names 'Saint' and 'Said', bring me a purple sheepskin notebook..."

When she finished saying this, Index felt that the severe headache suddenly eased.

Her body gradually returned to normal, but she still inevitably fell into weakness.

"Saint... Said... Purple sheepskin notebook..."

Index lowered her head, murmuring these words over and over again, as if she was thinking about something.

……

After cutting off the connection with Index, Luo Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't need to leave the city to go to the Woupo grassland by himself. Even if Index successfully brought the notebook back for him, he would have sufficient alibi in front of the "knowledgeable" Rocklan.

I just need to think of a way to avoid Rockland's "Network of Perception"...

Rockland's "Net of Perception" can sense the state of the spiritual master by distinguishing subtle changes in spiritual fluctuations.

This is a very common method among high-level extraordinary people, and it is a way of "testing" lower-level extraordinary people.

To a large extent, this can be very effective in detecting whether the other person is lying or telling the truth.

"......Alas." Luo Xiu sighed.

"How to avoid it?" This question gave Luo Xiu an inexplicable headache.

Because in the future, he will not only have to face one "generalist" Rockland.

As he carries a huge secret, he will inevitably attract prying eyes from other parties.

……

There is no particularly good method for the time being, so Luo Xiu simply doesn’t want to think about it too much.

As he still has the second destiny, the attention he can attract at present is still quite limited.

Luo Xiu then emptied his mind and body, diverted his attention, and began to take stock of his gains.

Completing the first round of [Hidden Mission: Hidden Secrets] will give you 1200 basic experience points and 1 free attribute point.

After storing the experience points and free attributes first, Luo Xiu took out the "Mysterious Rune Armband" given to him by the "Generalist" Rocklan.

Wearing the "Mysterious Rune Armband", Luo Xiu infused his own spirituality into the armband.

Then, the runes on the armband emitted a light blue glow. Luo Xiu could feel that he seemed to have become wiser.

His perception of the outside world has also become more subtle.

And this is just the feeling that comes from the improvement of attributes.

In addition, this "Mysterious Rune Armlet" can also provide single-time injury reduction and single-attack damage increase, which has a very good auxiliary effect.

……

Luo Xiu then opened his character panel.

After officially equipping this "Mysterious Rune Armband", Luo Xiu's "Wisdom" attribute became 15 (+3), and his "Perception" attribute became 7 (+3).

The numbers in brackets are the attribute enhancements given when equipping the corresponding weapons or armor.

At this time, Luo Xiu was not equipped with any extraordinary weapons, so the weapon's additional attribute values were not taken into account.

After feeling the change in intensity brought about by the "Mysterious Rune Armband", Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

He felt more and more that he was soaring within the intensity range of "Double Fate"...

With his current true strength, he can already compete with most of the extraordinary people with the "triple destiny".

……

While thinking, Luo Xiu also began to practice his "skills" for today.

He began to repeatedly use the enhancement skills of "Consecrated Priest" on himself, improving his skill proficiency while storing the experience points gained from practice little by little.

In nearly a day and a half, Luo Xiu has done a lot of things.

He spent the remaining day and a half at the White Antelope Hotel.

While temporarily avoiding the limelight of "Blood of Thorns - Shadow of Killing", Luo Xiu began to concentrate on familiarizing himself with his many new abilities and consolidating his own strength so that his strength level would become stable.

……

The three-day holiday passed in a flash.

On this day, Luo Xiu got up from bed very early and put on the formal priest robe.

After carrying all the extraordinary equipment with him, Luo Xiu packed up the daily necessities and some common clothes and stuffed them into the cabinet, then came to the front desk on the first floor of the "White Antelope Hotel".

"…I need to be away for about half a month, so I came to prepay the rent."

Luo Xiu said gently to the blonde girl with freckles at the front desk, "I used to live in room 4 on the second floor."

"Oh, all right! Wait a moment, please. I'll calculate..."

The blonde scratched her hair, counted carefully on her fingers, and then said:

"You stayed there for seven days, and seven days is a week..."

"...I've finished the calculation! Sir, if I need you to reserve the room for half a month, you only need to pay me four gold coins including the deposit..."

……

After paying the money, Luo Xiu left the White Antelope Hotel and headed for the Glorious Church in Sina City.

This day was the date that Leonard, the "priest" of the Holy Tribunal, had informed him in advance of when he would go to Red Maple City to carry out the "Judgment of Paganism".

Luo Xiu then came to the Holy Inquisition and arrived at the door of Leonard's room.

He knocked gently on the familiar shabby wooden door.

"Come in." Leonard's old but strong voice came out.

Luo Xiu then pushed the door open and walked in.

"..."

"You are very punctual."

Leonard, who was working at his desk, looked up at Luo Xiu and said:

"From the looks of you, are you ready?"

"...Yes." Luo Xiu nodded.

Leonard then stood up, walked to Luo Xiu's side and patted him on the shoulder.

"Then cheer up."

Leonard's face was more serious than ever before as he said:
"...This will be your first time facing enemies who believe in the Lost."
