Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 330 Kill Reward Calculation
Songyuan City Church.

After Bishop Luo Xiu and Bishop Raymond escorted Babolon back to Songyuan City, they went straight back to the Cathedral Church, went to the church prison, and imprisoned Babolon in the deepest cell.

In addition to the multiple sacred restraints that Bishop Raymond had previously imposed on him, Raymond also added dozens of seals to the cell where Baberon was held - the seals were so strong that they could be described as an iron hoop wrapped around a dumpling - even Luo Xiu could not imagine any possibility of Baberon's escape.

Unless the hidden sage of the "Hidden Omniscient" personally leads people to rescue the prisoners, he may not be able to defeat Archbishop Sid, and he will have to recruit another saint with at least "sixth destiny" to join him... But if the situation really develops to that point, the Grand Council of [Wisdom] and the [Supreme] Department of Law should intervene.

As for how to deal with the "hidden elder" Baberon, it will also need to be discussed and decided by the General Church.

Because of Baberon's special identity - when he was in Red Maple City, Luo Xiu had already learned from the two "generalists" Alvan and Eureka that he was once the "Sage Attendant" of the Grand Academy.

Therefore, Luo Xiu understood one thing very well—Baberon had higher political value.

If the Archbishop learned that Baberon had fallen into the hands of the General Church, it would definitely send someone to negotiate with Archbishop Sid. At that time, the General Church would be able to use Baberon to exchange for more valuable things from the Archbishop.

This is a high-level transaction, and Luo Xiu, who openly "followed" Baberon all the way and finally cooperated with Bishop Raymond to detain Baberon, has the right to participate in this transaction and get a big share of it.

Luo Xiu was not in a hurry about this and just had to wait.

When the time is right, the church will naturally send someone to inform him.

What he had to do now was to follow the clergy who were guiding him to the recuperation room and recuperate with the other [Glorious] saints who had just returned to the church...

After all, Luo Xiu was covered in wounds... When he and Bishop Raymond walked out of the church prison, Luo Xiu saw his guiding clergyman and looked into his slightly worried eyes for three seconds.

"Excuse me, are you free now, Lord Raymond? And... Lord Luo Xiu?"

The guiding clergyman in front of him said timidly, "Please follow me. Archbishop Sid has already told us that both of you need to have a good rest."

"If we delay the adults' rest, Archbishop Sid will blame us..."

"..."

It seems that in Archbishop Sid's instructions to them, the top priority was to let these saints who participated in destroying the "Black Crystal Factory" rest and recover. As for meeting the Archbishop and reporting to him, it was secondary...

Luo Xiu looked at Raymond next to him. Because he did not really go deep into the bottom of the factory, his injuries were much lighter than Luo Xiu's, but he was also "ordered to rest" by Archbishop Sid, and he seemed to be used to this kind of thing.

"Indeed, if there is anything, we can talk about it later."

Raymond turned his head and looked at Luo Xiu, and said, "Let's go with him first, Luo Xiu. After all, this is not the frontier, and some things don't need to be urgent."

"Archbishop Sid must have heard the general situation report from Olivia, Krull and the others. After that, it will be our turn to make a detailed report to the archbishop, and we also need to prepare."

"I understand." Luo Xiu nodded.

Of course, he did not resist this, and even agreed with it... He then looked at the guiding clergyman, took a relaxed step, and said gently:

"Then please lead the way, my comrade. I think I really need a good rest."

……

Songyuan City Church, a place of healing.

The sanctuary is dedicated to "healing". It was separated from the "missionary place" of the church and is one of the dozens of sanctuaries of the general church.

Standing in front of Luo Xiu at this moment was a magnificent building consisting of a pure gold dome and pure white wall corridors.

The guiding priest bowed to Luo Xiu and then led him into the healing sanctuary.

The main building of the sanctuary was quietly bathed in the dappled sunlight. Luo Xiu stepped into the corridor and saw the thick stone walls that separated the courtyards. The years had carved fine patterns on them, and vines were slowly climbing along the walls.

Along the cobblestone path, there are neatly trimmed shrubs on both sides, which form an open walkway leading into the depths of the courtyard.

Along the way, you can hear the sound of birds singing one after another, and the rustling of leaves in the breeze, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.

After passing through the outer courtyard and the middle courtyard, and finally the porch leading to the inner courtyard, the first thing that caught Luo Xiu's eye was a carefully carved statue of Xu Yu.

It is a six-meter-tall statue of the Holy Spirit. Its function here is similar to that of an altar - it is both the core of the sanctuary and a place for believers to pay homage.

Water flows slowly from the bottom of the sculpture, forming a small pool. Aquatic plants in the pool float and bloom quietly. The water surface reflects the sky and has a slight luster.

"Please come in, Master Luo Xiu."

The guiding clergyman led Luo Xiu's steps and introduced him, "This is the heart of this sanctuary. The archbishop has arranged a room for you. You can rest in peace."

Several glorious saints who had participated in the destruction of the "Black Crystal Factory" had already come here to rest. The guide priest led Luo Xiu into the corridor, walked into the quiet courtyard inside the sanctuary, and stopped in front of a room on the right.

Luo Xiu nodded slightly, then walked in under the devout gaze of the guiding clergyman.

The decoration in the room was very simple and elegant. A bunch of bronze keys tied with a rope were hung on the wall next to the door, and Luo Xiu took them down casually.

He smelled a strong, but not pungent, but rather refreshing, medicinal scent - right in the middle of the room, there was a large bath tub filled with golden soup, with light white mist rising from the surface of the soup.

This is also what Archbishop Sid prepared for their returning [Glorious] saints... the medicinal bath in the "Holy Spring", which can effectively heal the injuries of the bather, curb most of the "curses" suffered, and alleviate most of the negative abnormal status effects.

Luo Xiu heard footsteps - the priest who had led him to the room had left. Luo Xiu then closed and locked the door, changed into bathing robes, and then soaked himself in the bathtub -

A strong sense of being enveloped suddenly surged up from all directions. Soaking in the scorching medicinal soup, Luo Xiu felt a refreshing warmth from the inside out. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, as if all his troubles and hardships had been swept away.

After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Luo Xiu felt a tingling sensation as if the wounds on his body were healing. He then opened the panel and checked his current condition.

He did see that his maximum health points, which had been reduced due to his injuries, were slowly returning to normal while he was soaking in the medicinal bath, so he safely closed his character panel and opened the mailbox panel instead.

He was ready to do another thing, which was also a pre-established plan - the reward for killing the "Hidden Elder" Elius and Gattuso, it was time to settle the accounts!

Luo Xiu then lightly clasped his palms together, lowered his eyes to look at the two bright red dots on the panel, and "praied" in a voice that only he could hear:

"I'll sacrifice Connor to be single for ten years..."

——It has been a long time since he performed such an "evil sacrifice"!

When leaving Red Maple City, Connor had already entered the state of "no woman in his heart, swinging the hammer to the God of Nature" - whether he still cared about the old priest's daughter, little Marilyn, Luo Xiu didn't know... But they had indeed not seen each other for a long time.

The ritualistic "sacrifice" session ended, and Luo Xiu gave instructions on the panel to settle the reward for killing "Hidden Elder" Elius. The panel in front of him then began to float with light and shadows.

[Kill "Hidden Elder" Elius (lv.46), gain 11532 basic experience points]

[“Hidden Elder” Elius (lv.46) is 6 levels higher than you][Kill him at a higher level! Gain 60% extra experience points…]

["Burning Soul" takes effect, gain 20% additional experience points]

["Evil Soul" takes effect, gain 30% additional experience points]

[Rewards settlement, actual experience points gained: 24217! ]

【…】

[“Hidden Elder” Elius is a disaster-level boss]

[Rewards for killing the disaster-level boss are being generated...]

【…】

[Kill rewards generated]

[Obtain the expertise "Blood of the Forbidden Spellbinder (Epic)", free attribute points*10]!
[Blood of the Forbidden Spell (Epic): You are stained with the blood of the Forbidden Spell, which grants you the power to transcend, but also grants you the pain that cannot be relieved.]

[Your "Wisdom" attribute increases by 36 points. The strength or effect of the 'Alchemical Golem' created by you or the 'Inscribed Rune' drawn by you will be increased by 30%~50%, but it is easier to be damaged and out of control.

You will pay a price for this - when you create an 'alchemical puppet' or draw an 'inscribed rune', you must use your blood as the stain.

The 'Blood of the Forbidden Spell' flowing in your body will be the key material for making 'Puppets' or drawing 'Rune'. You must strip at least 5% of the blood volume at a time. The higher the blood volume you strip, the higher the quality of the 'Puppets' and 'Rune' you make. This expertise is disabled when the blood volume is less than half. 】

【…】

"..."

Looking at the new expertise refreshed on the panel, Luo Xiu frowned slightly.

Connor's ten years of being single is no longer useful... sad.jpg
Luo Xiu smacked his lips, and once again put his palms together, muttering something as he changed the object of "sacrifice" -

"I sacrifice Anthony's ten years of singleness..."

Afterwards, he reset the result of this settlement with the effect of his specialty "Lost Seeker". The content on the panel in front of him disappeared, and the changing light and shadow appeared before his eyes again.

【…】

[Kill rewards generated]

[Obtain the expertise "Divine Thinking (Epic)", free attribute points*10]!
[Divine Inspiration (Epic): Inspired by the Truth, your way of thinking has changed considerably, and you are increasingly able to see the subtle images.]

[Your "Wisdom" attribute increases by 24 points, and your "Spell Attack" attribute increases by an additional 10%. The spiritual power (experience required) you need to study, read, and draw scrolls has been reduced due to the change in your way of thinking. Under the influence of "divine thinking", you only need to spend half of your spiritual power (pay half of the experience) to successfully study, study, and draw. ]

【…】

This is not bad...it seems that Anthony still has hope for love!
Luo Xiu couldn't help but let out a faint smile.

The epic-quality specialty [Divine Thinking] gave a certain improvement in the "wisdom" attribute value, and made Luo Xiu's "spell attack" value even higher.

And its side effects can also be said to be versatile - it is equivalent to reducing the experience points required for Luo Xiu to learn skills from other places, and correspondingly reducing the experience points required for Luo Xiu to "create his own skills". In the long run, it can indeed save a lot of experience.

After settling the reward for killing the "Hidden Elder" Elius, it was time to settle the reward for killing another "Hidden Elder" Gattuso.

As per convention, Luo Xiu still "sacrificed" Anthony on the altar with a sense of ceremony, and then gave instructions for the panel settlement.

[Kill "Hidden Elder" Gattuso (lv.49), gain 13346 basic experience points]

["Hidden Elder" Gattuso (lv.49) is 9 levels behind you]

[Kill above your level! Gain 90% extra experience points...]

["Burning Soul" takes effect, gain 20% additional experience points]

["Evil Soul" takes effect, gain 30% additional experience points]

[Rewards settlement, actual experience points gained: 32030! ]

【…】

[“Hidden Elder” Gattuso is a disaster-level boss]

[Rewards for killing the disaster-level boss are being generated...]

【…】

[Kill rewards generated]

[Obtain the expertise "The Fallen One (Epic)", free attribute points*10]!
[The One Who Sinks into All Things (Epic): You know all things, and you know a tiny fraction of the truth from all things, but you cannot help sinking into them, and tend towards transition.]

[Your "Wisdom" attribute increases by 36 points, "Perception" attribute increases by 24 points, and "Resistance" attribute decreases by 24 points. The skill scrolls you draw will have a 10%~20% higher success rate than normal, and the skills learned from them will have a skill level of lv.2~lv.3 at the beginning.]

【…】

Huh... After calculating the reward for killing "Hidden Elder" Gattuso, the final result was not bad for Luo Xiu. At least he did not get any negative expertise, and he did not need to wait for another three days for the reset time of "Lost Explorer".

This new "epic" quality specialty [Fallen All Things] will be very helpful for Luo Xiu to create his own skills in the future, and it is also a very practical specialty.

Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction, then closed the panel and began to fully enjoy the process of soaking in the "Holy Spring".

Until about an hour had passed.

In the hazy white fog, Luo Xiu heard footsteps again. His guiding priest seemed to have returned.

"Lord Luo Xiu, are you available now?"

He heard this voice:
"Archbishop Sid wants to see you first - if you are in good condition, please follow me to the Holy Temple."
