Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 120 Leonard: Huh?

In the spacious room, the only sound that could be heard for a moment was Leonard's suddenly heavier breathing.

Shock, suspicion, confusion... all these strange emotions condensed on Leonard's face. The high priest's mouth did not close for a long time, and he obviously forgot to control his expression.

What Luo Xiu said was still too magical for this high priest...

He still remembered this high priest clearly.

It has only been a month since Luo Xiu was promoted to the "consecrated priest" of the "double destiny" and passed Leonard's assessment to join the "holy judge".

In just one month, he was promoted from a person with a "double destiny" to a person with a "triple destiny".

In the history of [Glorious], the number of people who have been able to achieve such a fast promotion speed can be counted on one's hands.

This can be called a miracle!
After a long while, Leonard asked hesitantly:

"You...you said you were promoted to 'Triple Destiny'?"

Although Leonard could already "sense" the answer, he still habitually wanted to make a final confirmation.

"Yes, Master Priest." Luo Xiu nodded, and he narrated calmly as always, "As you can see, I have opened the 'Silver Door' and glimpsed the world behind the door."

Leonard was silent.

A few days ago, Luo Xiu did apply for a "Silver Key" from him.

This is not a big deal, because every extraordinary person with a low destiny will basically prepare in advance for the key to open the "Extraordinary Door" of the next destiny.

So from Leonard's perspective, he just thought that Luo Xiu simply wanted to relieve himself of some worries.

What Leonard didn't expect was that others applied for the "Super Key" in advance in order to save it for future use, but Luo Xiu, Luo Xiu Carlos, really used it to open the door directly!
Even more, the strong spiritual surge emanating from Luo Xiu made the High Priest realize that what Luo Xiu said was not a lie.

——That is the genuine breath from the extraordinary being of “Triple Destiny”!

"..." Leonard wanted to say something, but the words were choked at his lips.

Leonard then used the sacred art of "calming the mind" to calm his agitated mood, and then said to Luo Xiu:
"Luo Xiu, you really are... beyond my expectations."

Leonard sighed.

"You have been promoted to a transcendent of the 'Triple Destiny'. Well... some of the contents in your file need to be updated..."

As he spoke, Leonard had already pulled out the file on Luo Xiu's file from the mountain of files.

"Luo Xiu, your stipend will be increased from 20 gold coins per week to 50. This is the basic treatment of the Holy Court for the clergy of the Triple Destiny."

"And, regarding your position in the Holy Judge..."

While Leonard was editing the file, he raised his head and asked Luo Xiu:

"After you were promoted to a 'Triple Destiny' transcendent, did you choose 'Sacrificial Fire', 'Judgment of Sin', or 'Enlightenment'?"

"Master Priest," Luo Xiu replied, "I am now the 'Great Judge of Sins'."

"I see... you chose 'Conviction'."

Leonard showed a relieved expression on his face, "Well, well... this is indeed the choice that the Holy Judge should make."

When you are promoted from the second-level destiny professions of "Consecrated Priest", "Holy Light Priest" and "Holy Knight" to the third-level destiny, you will be promoted in three directions. For example, Anthony's "Purifying Priest" and Luo Xiu's "Judgment Priest" are both "Judgment of Heresy" standard career routes.

The same route also includes the "Holy Knight"'s higher-level job "Conviction Paladin". This route is almost always inclined towards comprehensive development, and is the only promotion route that has "increased damage to different destinies".

"I understand the mission I shoulder." Luo Xiu nodded and said, "As a 'Holy Judge', becoming a 'Great Judge of Sin' is the best choice."

"Yes, that's right..." Leonard nodded in agreement, and then continued:
"So, Luo Xiu, let's talk about your position in the Holy Judge."

"You are no longer a member of the ordinary 'Holy Inquisitors'. From now on, you are promoted to 'Holy Inquisitor', the same position as 'Deacon', and have the same authority as 'High Shepherd of Purification' Anthony. You can choose to continue to stay in Anthony's Holy Inquisition team, or you can apply to me to form a new team."

After saying this, Priest Leonard looked at Luo Xiu, waiting for his reply.

"For the time being, I will just stay in Anthony's team."

Luo Xiu then answered seriously, "It's just that I hope to apply for the right to carry out the 'Judgment of Heresy' mission alone."

Hearing this, Leonard was slightly surprised.

"…You mean you? Alone?"

There was a certain disbelief in Priest Leonard's tone:

"Luo Xiu, I want to remind you. Even if you have signed a contract with the holy beast and are now a 'Great Judgment of Sin' of the triple destiny, as a priest, it is still not a very wise choice to act alone."

This is a friendly reminder, because there is indeed no precedent for the Holy Inquisitor, who is a "priest", to choose to carry out the task of judging pagans alone.

As for those "priests" and "high priests" who were forced to "fight alone", almost all of them died in the mission without exception.

"I understand, Master Priest." Luo Xiu nodded and said, "And this is exactly why I want to apply to carry out the mission alone."

"You know, my physique is considered excellent compared to the average priest."

"and……"

Luo Xiu suddenly began to chant an obscure prayer in a low voice.

This made Leonard's expression pause slightly.

Because he didn't understand what kind of sacred art the prayer Luo Xiu chanted was referring to.

But Leonard did not feel the aggression or threat from Luo Xiu.

He therefore chose to wait quietly, waiting for Luo Xiu to finish the chant.

……

The short chanting soon ended, and Leonard suddenly felt that the temperature in the room seemed to be rising at an abnormal speed!
"What did you do?" Leonard asked in surprise. He casually prepared a defensive sacred spell, ready to stop Luo Xiu's next move at any time.

But Luo Xiu did not do anything else. He just raised his arms slightly and placed them across his chest.

Leonard only saw that, just opposite him, a light golden glow was constantly flowing on Luo Xiu's robe, and then, a dazzling golden light suddenly bloomed!

A golden raven has appeared on Luo Xiu's arm!

It was a raven with golden feathers. Its pupils were hidden in the dazzling golden light, and its feathers were burning with extremely pure holy flames, emitting bursts of scorching breath.

An extremely strong spiritual surge is emanating from this golden raven, and it is also the source of the rising temperature in the room.

"This this……"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Leonard's brain crashed again.

He could no longer think about what Luo Xiu had done.

"As you can see, Your Excellency..."

Luo Xiu was very satisfied with Leonard's reaction, which was exactly what he wanted to see.

As there was only one day left to experience the "resistance" attribute to the maximum, Luo Xiu simply decided to fool people all at once.

"…This is the second holy beast I met in the Silver Gate."

"I have also made a contract with him."

Luo Xiu stated calmly with a nonchalant expression.

But Leonard's expression at this moment twitched as if he had been electrocuted.

He felt as if his worldview collapsed in an instant.

——The second sacred beast!

——Before the "Fourfold Fate", he was able to establish a contract with the second sacred beast! ——This has never happened in the entire history of [Glorious]!
"..."

Leonard hesitated to speak.

But after thinking about it, the old priest felt that he should still say something.

At least, there should be some response.

"..."

"……what?"

Leonard's thousands of words came together into one sentence.

Looking at the dull-looking priest Leonard across from him, Luo Xiu continued:

"As you can see, Master Priest."

"'Burning Feather Raven', this is the second sacred beast that I have established a contract with."

"It is very powerful, even more powerful than the 'Holy Flame Wolf' that I had a contract with before."

"..."

"...I feel it." Leonard sighed.

Leonard felt an extremely strong fluctuation from the "Burning Feather Raven" that was resting on Luo Xiu's arm.

That was a surge of spirituality that was even more intense than that of a holy beast of the 'distorted' level. Even Priest Leonard, who had the 'quadruple destiny', could sense the considerable danger from it.

Although they are "holy beasts", the way their strength is assessed within Glory is the same system used in Warcraft, with just a different name.

For example, a sacred beast with a threat level of "distortion" is called the "Spiritual Brilliance" level in [Glory], which is higher than "Faint Light" but lower than "Auspicious".

"Well... it is a 'Spiritual Glory' beast, but it is higher than 'Spiritual Glory' and is about to reach the level of 'Auspiciousness'..."

Priest Leonard murmured, "In terms of 'Contracted Holy Beast', you have far surpassed me..."

"My 'Sunburning Flame' has been with me until now, but it is still just a 'Glimmer' beast. This shows that my potential in 'Glory' has indeed reached its limit..."

"..."

Leonard's tone was a little lonely, but as an old extraordinary person who has already lived most of his life, he also has an open-mindedness that ordinary people cannot match.

Soon, Leonard found a new topic that could cheer him up again:
"Luo Xiu, you may not know what the two sacred beasts you have contracted mean..."

Leonard put himself in Luo Xiu's perspective and soon felt extremely excited: "You may be a genius that has never appeared in our generation, or even in the entire history of [Glorious]. You will definitely be able to make a great achievement that changes the 'laws'!"

"..."

As Leonard spoke, he wrote furiously on Luo Xiu's file, modifying the entry regarding permissions.

"Luo Xiu... I cannot fully agree with your request to 'carry out a mission alone'. This is because it is indeed too dangerous."

Leonard said as he wrote, "However, if it is just a mission involving Triple Fate pagans or below, I can let you do it alone. You just need to report to me afterwards."

After seeing the 'Burning Feather Raven' that Luo Xiu had just summoned, Leonard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the Spiritual Brilliance-level "Burning Feather Raven" and the Glimmer-level "Holy Flame Wolf", plus Luo Xiu who has been promoted to "Grand Judge of Sins", he alone is already comparable to an entire Holy Judgement team.

After hearing Leonard's answer, although he could only carry out the judgment mission against the pagan enemies of the "Triple Fate" alone, this did not fully meet Luo Xiu's expectations, but it was enough.

"Thank you, Master Priest." Luo Xiu thanked Leonard, "Then please allow me to take my leave."

"..."

Leonard didn't say anything else, just said "hmm" lightly and continued to bury his head in his work.

It was not until Leonard saw Luo Xiu leave the room and close the door out of the corner of his eye that he put down the files and pen in his hands and lay back dejectedly.

"what……"

Leonard's thoughts had been turned into a mess by Luo Xiu.

"I didn't expect...I didn't expect..."

Leonard whispered.

"Rosius Carlos, such a person actually appeared in our church..."

"This must be a gift from Xu Moment..."

"Even, even..."

Inexplicably, blasphemous thoughts emerged in Leonard's mind.

"Luo Xiu, he might even be Xu Yu's illegitimate son..."

"Or the reincarnation of His will..."

"..."

……

Sina City, Triumph Square.

It was almost noon when we came out of the Glorious Church, the Place of Holy Judgment.

The sun shines softly on the streets of the square, and the brilliant white light and shadows dance on the shoulders of pedestrians. This is a rare warm moment in the day.

Luo Xiu strolled along the streets of the square, crossed the crowded main street, and entered a side alley.

At this moment, Priest Leonard should be mending the common sense that was shattered by Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu still has half a day to complete the cooling down of the "Two-Faced Doll" and return to his normal combat state.

At this time, Luo Xiu no longer had to worry about being "censored". At the same time, he also obtained permission from Leonard to carry out the "Judgment of Paganism" mission alone.

This is the main purpose of Luo Xiu's visit to Priest Leonard this time to reveal some of his cards.

——The authority to carry out tasks alone! This means that Luo Xiu can finally let go and kill as much as he wants!
At the same time, the team of fanatics he will gather through "Insane Piety" can also join his "Judgment of Paganism" mission without hesitation.

The deeds of the pagans "judged" in this way could also be reported back to the church and be counted entirely as his merits.

As a player, Luo Xiu can gain experience points one after another like cutting leeks.

As the "Holy Judge", he can gain more contributions and achievements in the church.

——This is a win-win situation!

It means Luo Xiu won twice in a row!
Luo Xiu has already gradually built up a plan in his mind to quickly defeat the pagans.

While thinking, Luo Xiu had arrived at his destination in a deep alley.

——[Authentic Dwarf Blacksmith Shop].

In the last moments of the "Two-Faced Doll"'s cooling down, Luo Xiu prepared to find the dwarf Mir to replace and refurbish his equipment.

As the "Great Judge of Sin" of the "Triple Destiny", Luo Xiu is already able to wield weapons and equipment of higher quality.

——Boom, boom, boom.

Luo Xiu gently knocked on the door of the blacksmith shop.
