Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 98 Hidden Seal

As for the explanation of "Holy Flame Wolf - Fenrir", Luo Xiu temporarily covered it up with a mythological story that had not yet been circulated.

Although Anthony and the others did not ask much, Luo Xiu knew that this matter would not be resolved so easily.

Now that the battle has just ended, Anthony needs to arrange the next task immediately, and he has no time to review the battle.

Anthony had not yet raised any doubts to him regarding the details of the "Advent of the Holy Abyss".

In the scene filled with golden light at that time, Anthony did not see the secret prayer that Luo Xiu was performing behind Starro, the "incarnation of evil".

——No one saw what Luo Xiu did. They only saw the golden eyes suddenly opened from the top of "Starro's" head.

Anthony and the others probably thought that this was some kind of abnormal state caused by "Starro"...

"This is good..." Luo Xiu thought secretly.

If Anthony hadn't asked him about the "Advent of the Holy Abyss", Luo Xiu wouldn't have taken the initiative to tell him.

……

Red Maple City, Glorious Church.

In the small secret room, Lord Rodif was sitting by the wall with a pile of dry hay behind him.

Although Rodif's soul was almost "dead", the Inquisitors still put a "holy shackle" on him according to custom.

Those were golden shackles condensed from "holy light" that bound Rodif's hands and feet tightly. If he tried to break free from the "holy shackles", the shackles would immediately grow thorn-like spikes that would pierce the flesh of the shackled person.

The "Holy Judges" were holding their routine meeting in the next room.

"Regarding the disposal of Rodif."

Anthony said, "Connor, tomorrow morning, take these two secret letters to the 'Law Office' in Songyuan City. Give the letters to the Supremes there, and they will know what to do."

As Anthony spoke, he handed Connor two secret letters that served as evidence of "Rodif's collusion with the enemy."

"Okay." Connor took the letter and nodded.

"Pamier, Rosseau, and Colen..."

Anthony turned his gaze to the three people on the other side and said, "The rest of us will take turns going to Alley 16 starting tomorrow to guard the bodies of those pagans."

"I will go first tomorrow, then Rosseau and Collen will be on duty the next day, Pamier and Rosseau on the third day, Pamier and Collen on the fourth day..."

"We will take turns on duty in this order until Connor comes back. Tomorrow, the three of you should have a good rest."

"Okay." Luo Xiu and the other two nodded, indicating that they had no objection.

The short meeting ended here again. Everyone returned to their respective rooms and caught up on the last bit of sleep.

……

The next day, Connor rode on the fast horse from the city lord's mansion and rushed towards Songyuan City with two secret letters.

Pamier's negative state caused by the "divine punishment" has not yet subsided. She rarely went out for training and just lay in her room to rest.

Anthony went to Alley 16 early in the morning to guard the bodies of the pagans.

Colen is the presiding pastor of the Red Maple City Church and he also has church affairs to attend to.

Only Luo Xiu - he woke up from a nap and now felt refreshed. As a "holy judge" but without any specific tasks, this day was like a paid day off for him.

But Luo Xiu knew that although the task of "judging heresy" had been completed, he still had other things to do.

Regarding the "ancient seal" that the Ancient Hermitage was looking for, Luo Xiu planned to find the specific location of the seal within this day.

And the "Spirit Descendant" Starro who faked his death must still be secretly searching for the trace of this "ancient seal".

Because the "Ancient Seal" is the biggest goal of their hermitage in coming to Red Maple City. Although Starro has been killed by the Holy Inquisitors and has become a lone commander, this does not prevent him from still coveting the inheritance and gifts of the "ancient existence".

While thinking, Luo Xiu put on his regular clothes, took the "Crown Fragment of King Isol" and went out. When Luo Xiu wandered around in "Red Maple City" with the Crown Fragment, the "Crown Fragment" would always send back the ups and downs of spiritual fluctuations.

"Crown fragments" are roughly equivalent to a fantasy version of GPS positioning. When the "spiritual fluctuations" transmitted back by the crown fragments are strong, it means that the distance to the "resonance" target is getting closer, and vice versa.

Relying on the spiritual fluctuations transmitted back by the "crown fragment", Luo Xiu spent the entire morning searching for the true location of the "ancient seal" in Red Maple City.

……

Finally, he came to a deserted hill near the border of Red Maple City.

From a dry well surrounded by four huge rocks, a spiritual surge emanated from the same source as the "fragment of King Isol's crown".

When approaching the dry well, the fluctuations transmitted back by the "crown fragments" reached their peak intensity.

At this moment, the "crown fragment" felt like a red-hot iron when held in the hand.

"...It seems to be here." Luo Xiu murmured.

After a morning of searching, Luo Xiu finally found the exact location of the "ancient seal".

However, although the specific location of the "seal" has now been confirmed, Luo Xiu did not rush into the dry well, but returned to the church calmly.

Luo Xiu prepared all the weapons, potions and equipment. Then, he asked "Fog Night" to create a "Fog Shadow" to conduct round-the-clock surveillance of the area near the dry well.

After completing these, Luo Xiu went to the vicinity of "Mawei Street" again.

He climbed up the tallest windmill tower on the block, took out the "fragment of King Iseult's crown" from his arms, and slowly infused his own spirituality into it.

A strange spiritual surge began to emanate from the crown fragments, spreading rapidly around like water ripples.

When he confirmed that the spiritual surge of the crown fragments had completely dissipated, Luo Xiu left a "mist shadow" on the top of the tower and then quietly left the windmill tower.

After completing all this, Luo Xiu was ready to set off and officially enter the "ancient seal" under the dry well.

……

In a dilapidated little house in a deep alley on Mawei Street.

It took Starro, who had "resurrected from the dead", a whole day to clean the dusty room almost completely.

He was just about to suppress his nausea and force himself to eat a loaf of moldy bread.

Suddenly, Starro's heart began to beat wildly for no apparent reason.

The familiar spiritual fluctuations quickly spread from a very close location to the surroundings.

Starro's eyes flickered. He put down the moldy bread in his hand, closed his eyes and began to carefully feel the surging spirituality.

That ancient breath was exactly the same as the breath he had felt before, which came from the "Ancient Seal", which made Starro feel ecstatic.

"It must be... the seal must have loosened again..."

At this moment, Starro no longer cared about the hunger in his stomach.

He then put down the bread in his hand, opened the door, and ran towards the origin of the "spiritual fluctuation" he felt.

At this time, Luo Xiu had just left the windmill tower.

When Starro came to this "windmill tower", his face, which was originally filled with fanatical excitement, gradually became confused.

"How come... there's nothing..."

"I shouldn't be wrong..."

Starro looked hesitant and murmured to himself.
