Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 222: Placement and Preparation (Updated)
"..." When Mil's expression froze again when he saw that the familiar "old friend" in front of him turned out to be the "high priest" of the church.

It took him a long while to come back to his senses. He stretched out his hand in a daze and shook Luo Xiu's right hand tightly.

"Are you really... the 'high priest' of the church?" Mir asked in a hoarse voice, "In other words, you already have the 'fourfold destiny'... just like the high priest of the church, the knowledgeable people of the Fangbei Court, and the judges of the Law Department, you have the fourfold destiny..."

"Yes." Luo Xiu nodded and said, "Not long after you forged the 'Poisonous Bite' for me, I also glimpsed and opened my 'door'."

"Now, I am the 'Holy Judge' of the fourth destiny of [Glory]."

Just as Mir explained to Luo Xiu his promotion to the "Fourth Destiny", Luo Xiu told Mir his true destiny number and occupation in the same sincere tone, and no longer concealed anything from Mir about the spiritual level of the [Glorious] destiny.

When Mir heard Luo Xiu reveal this, a surprised expression appeared on his face, and he blurted out:

"Are you a 'priest'? I always thought you were a pastor..."

"No wonder... No wonder you need the 'Heart of the Gods'... Are you going to use it to summon the 'Holy Beast'? Or..."

Mir murmured. After Luo Xiu personally confirmed the authenticity of what he saw, his doubts quickly dissipated, and the joy of reuniting with his friend and "loyal customer" prevailed.

"I guess so." Luo Xiu replied with a smile.

He then changed the subject and said to the dwarf Mir, "I have already found it for you. It is on the main street of Red Maple City. I have bought a shop suitable for the new 'authentic dwarf blacksmith shop'."

"I also contacted the Rune Academy of the Sage's Tower in Red Maple City. The generalists there promised to provide me with a full set of rune tools and refining equipment, and I have already asked someone to install them."

"Mir, the only thing I haven't prepared for you is the various materials you need as a 'forger'. But I know you still have a lot of these things in stock, and I also need to purchase a lot of materials from you..."

"..."

Luo Xiu told all this to Mir, and Mir listened very carefully. An expression of longing appeared on his face, and his eyes were gradually filled with excitement.

When Luo Xiu finished speaking, Mir responded excitedly: "Good! Good... That's enough. You are now the 'high priest' of the church. Your words in front of those knowledgeable people seem to carry a lot of weight."

Luo Xiu looked at the expression on Mil's face at this moment. He seemed to be impatient to go to his own "new blacksmith shop" as soon as possible.

"Well, let's go take a look now." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "I'll also take you for a walk on the main street so you can get familiar with this city."

……

Luo Xiu and Mir then left the high priest's residence, and under the watchful eyes of the clergy in the inner courtyard, they left the inner courtyard and walked out of the gate of the church.

When the clergy in the church saw that their "high priest" was walking side by side with a dwarf and having a good conversation with him, they were all amazed.

However, the scene of Luo Xiu's admonition to "Great Blessing of Qihui" Qilanta was still vivid in their minds. In addition, the news that the high priest had recently sentenced "Advocate of Death" Grion had spread throughout the church. The clergy now felt awe for the high priest, so no one dared to ask any more questions.

Luo Xiu took Mir to the main street of Red Maple City, during which he briefly introduced the current situation of the three major destiny transcendents in Red Maple City, as well as the distribution of the pagans that had been discovered in the city. As they chatted, they arrived in front of the prepared "store".

It was a medium-sized manor on Auxiliary Street, originally owned by a minor nobleman.

A few days ago, the guards of the city lord's mansion suddenly surrounded and sealed off the manor. The reason was that the owner of the manor, the noble, was secretly in debt of hundreds of thousands of gold coins. The noble abandoned his property and fled for fear of crime.

All the properties under his name were thus confiscated, part of which was taken over by the city lord's mansion, and the rest would be auctioned after being publicly announced.

Luo Xiu, who had been keeping an eye on the situation on the main street, soon learned about this. He then used his connections to send someone to the mansion to find Lord Nelson, hoping to skip the judicial auction and purchase the manor in the name of the church.

Although he was curious about what the church was going to do by suddenly purchasing the manor, Lord Nelson did not ask too many questions, but generously agreed to the church's request.

This is well within Nelson's direct authority. The church has needs in this regard, and Nelson is happy to help.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu bought the manor for 8,000 gold coins. He used the church's funds to pay for it, so the manor was registered in the name of the church and belonged to the church's branch in the Red Maple City.

But this didn't make much difference to Luo Xiu. His promise to help Mil find a suitable shop was perfectly fulfilled. This manor indeed met all of Luo Xiu's expectations for the "New Mil Blacksmith Shop".

First of all, it was spacious enough to support all the forging land needs of Mir, who was already a quadruple destiny 'Rune Magic Forger'. Even if Mir planned to recruit people and expand the scale of the blacksmith shop, the area of ​​the manor would be enough to accommodate these.

As the church expands, Luo Xiu will inevitably establish a deeper cooperative relationship with Mir. Even if Mir has no intention of expanding the blacksmith shop for the time being, Luo Xiu will consider and arrange these advance plans in advance.

Secondly, the manor and the church are close enough - whether it is Luo Xiu or Mir, they don't need to travel too much between the church and the blacksmith shop, which is convenient and fast. You know, as a fourth-level "Rune Magic Forger", Mir is an important hidden combat power for Luo Xiu.

In the current Red Maple City, except for the Supreme's 'Border Court' which has two "Fourfold Fate" extraordinary people in charge, no organization or force has more than one "Fourfold Fate" strongman. Mir's arrival is extremely critical to the configuration of Luo Xiuwei's church's potential combat power.

……

"This is... the shop you prepared for me?" Looking at the manor in front of him, Mir's expression froze three times in one day.

"This is too big... My blacksmith shop shouldn't need such a large space."

After staring at the manor in front of him for a long time, Mil said in a daze.

But even though he said this, his legs had already taken big steps honestly and walked into the manor.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu just smiled slightly, and entered the manor with Mir, and "inspected" the site of the blacksmith shop with him.

The core building of the manor is a two-story villa with an Italian style.

The first floor of the villa was mainly used for Mir's work, and the space was divided according to functions such as "runes", "forging", and "storage". The second floor was a living place, and the largest exquisite bedroom was reserved. In addition, there were many vacant rooms left for Mir to plan on his own. As a "Rune Magic Forger", Luo Xiu knew that Mir must have many unique insights and ideas about the design of the blacksmith shop.

After inspecting the manor from top to bottom, Mir was very satisfied. "This is enough for me to indulge in many forgings that only existed in my imagination before," Mir commented, and then he began to rearrange the manor according to his ideas.

He first took out the most important "Authentic Dwarf Blacksmith Shop" plaque from a "storage bracelet" and hung it directly above the facade of the villa.

Afterwards, Mir took out all the equipment, props, and materials he brought with him from his bracelet. After spending quite a while sorting them out, he moved them to different rooms for storage according to their categories.

Afterwards, Mir confirmed whether the facilities in the "blacksmith shop" could be used normally, and in front of Luo Xiu, he took out a series of forging tools including "smelting furnace", "forging table", "forging hammer", etc. from the bracelet, which made Luo Xiu feel an extremely strong sense of visual contrast for a moment.

Luo Xiu patiently waited for Mir to finish the preparations. When the new "blacksmith shop" had taken shape, he smiled and asked Mir, "Are you ready?"

"Well, everything is ready."

Mir wiped his forehead and said, "We need to buy some tools later, but the basic functions of a 'blacksmith shop' are already complete..."

"That's good." Luo Xiu nodded. He felt that Mir had a strange sense of belonging, so he continued, "From now on, if the church has any forging needs, I will come to you. In addition... Mir, I need some materials, 'epic' level materials."

When Mir was sorting them out, Luo Xiu had already seen some of the materials of 'epic' quality. They should be the materials that Mir bought with the balance of the 'Heart of the God' and other ancient materials that Luo Xiu paid. As a 'Rune Magic Forger', the quality of the materials he has now is much better than when he was just a 'Rune Forger'.

"The material of an epic?" After a brief thought, Mir answered directly:
"I only have two such materials in my hand at the moment. The other half of the 'Broken God's Heart' from the 'Spirit of Ritual Fire', and a mad magic crystal from the mad monster 'Thousand-Faced Shadow Demon'."

"Do you need it? I can give you one. You will need to pay real money for the other one. I will give you a suitable price... well, it's still two thousand gold coins."

"Then I should thank you for your generosity, Mir."

Luo Xiu smiled, took out a bag of money from his bracelet, threw it to Mir, and said, "I want them all. Here are twenty-two platinum coins, and the rest is my kind gift."

Mir took the purse, felt the bulge of the gold coins inside, and weighed it slightly, and he knew the type and amount of gold coins inside. So he no longer poured them out to count, but generously put them away and said to Luo Xiu:
"I should thank you for your generosity, Luo Xiu. The two materials are in the storage room, you can take them away. Now, I can't wait to forge something."

After saying that, Mil dived into the "forging room", and then from the room came the crisp sound of "ding-dang-dang" of hammers hitting metal.

Mir had already started his "forging" work, so Luo Xiu no longer disturbed him, but went directly to the room where he stored the materials and took away the two pieces of "epic" quality materials.

Afterwards, Luo Xiu left the manor, returned to the church along the main street, and returned to his high priest's residence.

He re-enacted the barrier, temporarily prohibiting anyone from entering, and went straight to the bedroom. After closing and locking the doors and windows, he took out the two newly collected "epic" materials from the bracelet.

Mir had arrived in Red Maple City, and Luo Xiu finally had a stable channel to obtain precious materials. And now, he could finally start to complete the two things he had planned for a long time.

——Complete the strengthening of "Nightmare Wolf" Fenrir and "Mist Raven" Misty Night, and summon new "Holy Beasts"!
Now, Luo Xiu prepared to use these two pieces of "epic" quality materials to complete the racial sublimation of the former first.
