Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 91: The Shadow of Judgment (First order required per day!)
When he saw the priest of the "Holy Inquisitor" suddenly appear in front of him, a trace of panic appeared on Rodif's face.

But Rodif quickly hid his unfavorable expression, and a fox-like cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Who let you in?"

Rodif shouted in a deep voice, "This morning, I could consider you as being on official business. But now, according to the law of the Supreme Being, I can apply to the Attorney General's Office to charge you with trespassing."

"Don't be so nervous, Rodif."

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "My companions have surrounded this place because the 'Alonso' that you have been thinking about has accused you again..."

Lodifu: “…”

Rodif's eyes suddenly became fierce, but in the current situation, Rodif was like a roaring beast caught in a trap.

"What on earth did this damn pagan say?!"

Rodif cursed in a low voice, but Luo Xiu shook his head.

"Lord Rodif... I think you should have seen the scene outside the window just now."

Luo Xiu stopped joking with Rodif and said, "Rodif Walden, I think we don't need to continue."

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Luo Xiu Carlos. I am a student of Ivan Jimeier, the presiding priest of the 'Glorious Church' in 'Dawn Town'. I wonder if the city lord is familiar with this name?"

Luo Xiu chose to reveal his identity at this point. He looked calmly at the fat and big-eared city lord opposite him with an indifferent expression.

Rodif's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking hard about something.

Suddenly, his brows relaxed, and he said to Luo Xiu in a relaxed tone:
"Ah, I remember now. It was the priest who came to Red Maple City a few days ago and presided over the ceremony... If you hadn't told me, I would have thought he was a charlatan."

His expression was full of joking:
"So you are his student. No wonder, no wonder... We were all very happy that day. Your teacher brought endless joy to everyone. I think, isn't this the meaning of your existence?"

When talking about "Iven", the clouds on Rodif's face suddenly dissipated. He smiled and said to Luo Xiu: "If, if your teacher, the High Priest Iven, is dissatisfied with me, I can compensate him, no matter how much it costs..."

"..."

Luo Xiu watched his performance calmly.

Rodif, it is quite ignorant for him to challenge the authority of the "Holy See" so brazenly.

In fact, like most ordinary "officials" of the Nolan Empire, their awe of the Holy See of [Glory] only remains at the level of "church" members at the town level.

In the "Nolan Empire" under the rule of the [Supreme], even though the [Glorious] Holy Court controls the authority of the "sacred faith" of the empire, it cannot shake the ruling position of the [Supreme].

This has also produced ignorant and fearless "worms" like Rodif.

Although Rodif is not a "superhuman", he is an official at the "city lord" level.

If divided according to the level of secular power, the actual power held by "Lodif" is roughly equivalent to that of Priest Leonard.

And he is just a dog raised by the Supreme Being, a minion extended from the Supreme Being.

Therefore, Luo Xiu was quite cautious about how to deal with "Lodifu".

Because the identity represented by Rodif is not just an "ordinary person", if you play your advantage rashly, it will easily lead to endless troubles.

This trouble does not come from "Lodif", but from the [Supreme], from the "will of the empire".

Even if it can be proved that "Rodif committed treason" or "Rodif collaborated with the enemy", the truth is often that the [Supreme] does not care about these.

Exceeding authority in handling the matter of "Lodifu" when there is insufficient evidence, even if "Lodifu" can be executed by legal means, it will easily arouse the resentment and suspicion of the Supreme.

Therefore, Luo Xiu chose to "wait" before, waiting for Rodif to reveal a bigger flaw.

It has reached a point where even the Supreme cannot stand it anymore, and there will be no problem for the "Holy Judges" to "judge" Rodif.

And only by forcing Rodif into a desperate situation in this way can Luo Xiu avoid alerting the "Ancient Hermitage" and thus achieve a thundering blow to this group of real enemies!
Luo Xiu now no longer has any worries.

... "Lodifu...you really made a good suggestion."

Luo Xiu nodded slightly and responded to Rodif with a smile.

"But you're wrong. I'm not here to negotiate with you..."

Luo Xiu looked at Rodif calmly, while gently rubbing the ring on his finger.

Then, he said indifferently:
"——I'm here to kill you."

……

As Rodif's eyes changed from amusement to suspicion and then to horror, countless dark purple tentacles burst out from the ring.

These tentacles rushed into Rodif's body at the same time, causing him to lose all ability to move. His body was shaking as if he had been electrocuted, and his eyeballs had completely rolled back.

The "Soul Manipulator" has locked Rodif's soul tightly. Under Luo Xiu's instructions, these "tentacles" began to stir his soul constantly, and finally mashed it into a paste.

This was a method that almost completely destroyed Rodif's consciousness, but Luo Xiu still retained the last "surviving" memory area.

"——Rodifu, speak out." Luo Xiu said in a deep voice.

"——Tell me the true location of the headquarters of the Ancient Priory."

"..."

"In the……"

"In... Mawei Street... Lane 16..."

"...Mawei Street...Alley No. 16..."

"...Ponytail...Sixteen..."

"..."

Rodif, whose will had been mostly destroyed, just kept repeating these few words.

After confirming that Rodif was equivalent to "brain dead", Luo Xiu retracted the "Soul Manipulator" and turned to leave the room.

Once again, Rodif was the only one left in the room.

At this moment, he was drooling and repeating vague sentences.

……

Red Maple City—the City Lord’s Mansion.

Outside the courtyard.

After Connor intercepted a secret letter from Rodif from the Hand of the Mage, he headed east to reunite with Captain Anthony.

The original assignment of the "Inquisitors" was that Anthony guarded the east side of the mansion, Pamier guarded the west side, Connor guarded the south side, and Luo Xiu guarded the north side - except for Luo Xiu who temporarily stole the house, the other three guarded their positions meticulously, not willing to let go of any disturbance.

When Connor found Anthony and told him that he had intercepted "Rodif's secret letter", Anthony showed a relieved smile on his face for the first time in a long time.

"… This means we have successfully caught the old fox by the tail."

Anthony said, while glancing towards the north of Luo Xiu's mansion, he said:
"Go and join the others. We already have sufficient evidence."

"Then the next step is to confront Rodif face to face and state his crimes in person."

"Rodif Walden, he must have run out of things to say..."
