Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 111 Rockland's Doubts
A pendant that seals the core of the "Second Order Golem"? !
Luo Xiu's eyes suddenly brightened.

On the way to the Alchemy Academy, although Luo Xiu had thought about what Rocklan was going to give him, he didn't expect that Rocklan would just wave his hand and give him a puppet directly!

It's a second-level puppet! This is much more valuable than the "blue rare" quality rune equipment!

Luo Xiu knew that the reason why Rockland was so generous was probably because of the book "Said's Notes". He didn't know that "Said's Notes" had actually been tampered with a long time ago.

But! Since Rockland voluntarily gave the "Second Order Magic Puppet", Luo Xiu accepted it with peace of mind.

Luo Xiu looked at the three pendants.

These three pendants are of the same style. They are all beautifully carved with exquisite craftsmanship under the silver-white metal chains. The only difference is the color of the inlaid gemstones.

"Gem" - this is actually some kind of magic crystal that seals spirituality, which is the core of what Rockland calls the "second-level magic puppet."

The red magic crystal contains a "flame puppet" that can perform various "flame attribute" attacks and has extremely strong destructive power;
The green magic crystal contains a "life puppet" that can expand a certain range of "creation field", provide a certain amount of shield for friendly units within the field, and slowly restore lost health points;
The blue magic crystal contains a "totem puppet", which can summon a "totem" at regular intervals. The "totem" has a taunting effect, and can give random buffs to friendly parties and random debuffs to enemies.

……

After thinking about it, Luo Xiu took off the blue crystal pendant from the arm of the metal puppet.

"Oh, what an unexpected choice."

Rockland looked surprised. "I thought that as a 'priest', you would choose the more vital green color."

Rockland did not tell Luo Xiu in advance what kind of puppet each pendant corresponded to. He thought Luo Xiu chose the pendant based entirely on "intuition."

Luo Xiu smiled and responded: "Well, I did want to choose green, but blue is more in line with the style of the Alchemy Institute..."

A light flashed across Rockland's lake-blue eyes. He did not notice any of the flattery that Luo Xiu had casually said. He just felt that Luo Xiu's words made him inexplicably happy.

Rockland nodded and said, "That's a good choice. Then, Luo Xiu, you can leave. On behalf of the Skarchi family, thank you again."

After saying that, the "universalist" Rocklan stood up, humbled himself, nodded slightly to Luo Xiu, and personally escorted Luo Xiu out of the "Room of True Knowledge".

……

Sina City, Triumph Square main street.

Luo Xiu found a classic coffee shop, ordered a cup of hand-ground coffee, and sat down in a corner.

At the same time that Rocklan sent Luo Xiu away from the Alchemy Academy, the hidden mission of the running ring [Forbidden Notes] was completed.

[Completed the hidden mission: Taboo Notebook (Difficult Difficulty)]

[You successfully found "Side's Notebook" and decided to return it to "The Universalist" Rockland.]

[Completion reward: Basic experience +3100, free attribute point +2]

【…】

When the panel popped up to complete the second round of tasks, it did not directly pop up the third round of hidden tasks as Luo Xiu expected, but instead a new line of waiting prompts popped up:
[The “Generalist” Rockland obtained “Said’s Notes”, and unknown influences are fermenting…]

“……” Luo Xiu held his forehead and fell into deep thought.

This is an abnormal situation, but it has happened to Luo Xiu in his previous life.

This is a prompt that will pop up when the player completes the task in a way other than the "task objective".

In other words, Luo Xiu tore off a few pages of "Side's Notebook" first, and then handed the notes to Rockland to complete the task, and once again successfully burned the panel's CPU...

However, Luo Xiu didn't care about these. The "serial hidden tasks" would still refresh the three-ring tasks, just a little later.

Luo Xiu then crossed his hands in front of his forehead and lowered his eyes.

His sight began to connect with the "Mist Hidden Raven".

Before Luo Xiu entered the Alchemy Institute, he asked Wu Ye to separate a "fog shadow" and put an eye in Rockland's room.

At this time, through this "fog shadow", Luo Xiu could see clearly Rockland's every move.

After sending Luo Xiu away, Rockland returned to his original seat and grabbed "Side's Notes" impatiently.

When Rockland opened the notebook, his eyes rolled back and he twitched like he was electrocuted for a while before returning to normal. This was because his "divine" attribute was too low, which led to the "mental pollution" of forbidden knowledge.

Luo Xiu felt inexplicably happy.

Rockland, a "universalist" with a quadruple destiny of [intellect], doesn't even have 14 points of divinity!

Rockland! Dish!
Luo Xiu sipped his coffee as he watched Rockland walk to the wall of the room.

Rockland clapped his hands, and the walls opened to both sides, revealing the puppets that kept the rune equipment inside.

Rocklan took several pieces of rune equipment from the puppet and put them on himself.

Afterwards, Rockland sat back in his seat and opened "Side's Notes" again.

With the large amount of "divine" attribute bonuses granted by the rune equipment, this time, Rocklan successfully avoided mental pollution and saw the forbidden knowledge recorded in the notebook.

Rockland's eyes were bright, and he flipped through the notebook page by page, his face full of thirst for knowledge.

However, as Rockland flipped through the notebook, his expression gradually changed from excitement to confusion.

"Why does it feel wrong..."

Rockland murmured in confusion: "Something is missing... something is missing. Why is it that one page is still preparing materials, and the next page is directly drawing the Black Devouring Rune..."

After seeing this scene, Luo Xiu cut off the connection with the "Mist Shadow" vision.

Rockland's reaction was obvious - he had discovered that "Said's Notes" was incomplete.

Rockland would inevitably wonder whether someone had tampered with the "Said's Notes".

Previously, Luo Xiu had passed the detection of Rocklan's "Perception Network", which prevented Rocklan from suspecting him at the first glance.

Rockland would have an association - the incompleteness of "Said's Notes" should be related to its previous owner, Saint.

And Saint's horse bandits and pagan friends are Rockland's main suspects!
As for the candidate that Rockland was about to "suspect", Luo Xiu had already chosen one for him.

——"Shadow of Killing" of "Blood of Thorns"!
The outline of a plan had already been formulated in Luo Xiu's mind.

All it takes is a simple opportunity to turn these two against each other.

……

Luo Xiu finished the rest of the coffee and then returned to his room at the White Antelope Hotel.

He locked the doors and windows and pushed the bed towards the wall, leaving a large empty space in the room.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu summoned the "Shadow-Eating Wolf" and the "Mist-Hidden Raven", and rubbed the ring on his finger for a while.

After Index returned, she returned Naif's soul to Rosh.

The "Soul Manipulator" dragged all the sealed souls out of the ring, including a total of one "triple destiny" and five "double destiny" souls of extraordinary people.

This is enough for Fenrir and Wu Ye to complete "racial sublimation" at the same time and evolve into more powerful abyss beasts.

This is also necessary preparation for Luo Xiu to fight against the "Shadow of Killing" later.

"Fenrir, come here."

Luo Xiu waved to the shadow wolf covered in scarlet flames. Fenrir wagged his tail, his eyes full of unknown expectations.

Just as Fenrir walked to the open space prepared by Luo Xiu in advance, Luo Xiu used the "soul manipulator" to drag the souls of five "double destiny" extraordinary people in front of Fenrir.

"Awooooooooooooooo!" Fenrir roared excitedly, his shadow mist body suddenly expanded, swallowing all the souls.

The next moment, an unusually surging spiritual energy emanated from Fenrir's body, and black mist and red mist intertwined and enveloped him.

The black and red fog became thicker and thicker, eventually forming a substantial "cocoon". A strange whistling sound came from inside the "cocoon", and an unknown terror was brewing inside.
