Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

第485章 最后的准备（7k7！加更进度6k14k）

When Luo Xiu placed the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter], two ancient dragon secret treasures, back in front of Mir, a complex expression appeared on Mir's face for a moment.

He gave the two ancient dragon secrets to Luo Xiu at that time, and he was still reluctant to give them up... But soon, the complicated expression on his face was hidden, and he stared at Luo Xiu and said:

"You still want to strengthen them? If these two ancient dragon's holy weapons are strengthened further, only the 'Sixfold Fate' can be used!"

"Have you encountered a powerful enemy? Do you need to strengthen everything that can be strengthened as much as possible? If so, I have some other things I can recommend to you..."

"..."

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

Then, the smile on his face faded, his expression became serious and solemn, and he said to Mir -

"I have been promoted to the 'Sixth Level of Destiny'."

"..."

"...?"

Mir's expression froze when Luo Xiu said this.

The complex expression he had just suppressed now emerged even more strongly. After a long while, he uttered a short voice full of shock.

"……what?"

Mir made such a puzzled sound.

Luo Xiu simply nodded and said again with certainty:
"I have been promoted to the 'Sixth Level of Destiny'."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and extended two fingers upwards.

——Wow! !

The surging and terrifying spiritual energy poured out from Luo Xiu's body!

It enveloped him like a hurricane, and then swept around - Mil, who was still only at the "fourth level of destiny", was even a little unsteady on his feet, and fell backwards with a "thump".

But he quickly rubbed his butt and climbed up, with a complex expression of disbelief on his face, and sighed:

"You actually...really...really have the sixth level of destiny..."

"..."

“…Shh.”

Luo Xiu lightly pressed his fingers in front of his mouth, making a "hush" sound, signaling Mil to be quiet.

"That is why I have returned, my friend - and my advancement to the Sixth Fate remains a secret."

"I'm only telling you now - so that you can help me with the next thing."

This is the reason why Luo Xiu first revealed his true level to Mir.

In order for Mil to perform deeper and more suitable enhancements on the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] for his own use, he needs to tell Mil about his own spiritual state.

However, in fact, the matter of concealing the strength of being promoted to the "Sixth Destiny" is mainly concerned about the "Holy Court" and the General Church - if there is a situation where it is better to show the other party the true state, Luo Xiu will tell the other party his true level just like he told Mil.

"Now, can you strengthen these two ancient dragon secrets for me - strengthen the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and the [Dragon Breath Scepter]?"

"..."

"I'm not sure, Luo Xiu."

Mir finally calmed down from his shock. He said with a constipated expression:

"I am only the 'Fourth Fate'. It's a bit of a stretch to ask me to strengthen the legendary weapons for the 'Sixth Fate'—"

"But if you can lend a hand, such as helping me with the important steps of engraving, purification and infusion of spirituality, etc., maybe it can be possible."

"Anyway, let me see what other materials you brought first."

"..."

After Mir finished speaking, he saw that Luo Xiu in front of him had already put his left hand on the storage bracelet on his right wrist, and then took out the "legendary" and "epic" quality materials one by one.

There were materials brought back from the front line of the Holy Expedition and also from the Holy Storage of the General Church, a total of thirteen pieces of "legendary" and more than forty pieces of "epic" quality materials, which were taken out from the bracelet one by one and placed in front of Mil!

Looking at the materials that Luo Xiu took out, which were very difficult to find normally, Mir was stunned again.

The expression on his face became constipated again, and even more serious. After a long while, he raised his head mechanically and sluggishly, staring at Luo Xiu with sharp eyes, and asked:
"You...robbed the Attorney General's Office?"

"Guess." Luo Xiu smiled.

"..." Mir's eyes twitched, and he quickly moved his gaze away from Luo Xiu's face and fell back on the dozens of "legendary" and "epic" materials that Luo Xiu had taken out and placed on the table.
Now, Mir only felt that the surface of these materials was flashing with dazzling light, making him feel that he was about to be blinded by the light.

Even in the [Forge Manor], Mir had never seen so many "epic" and "legendary" quality materials at the same time.

I have never fought such a rich war! .jpg
"So," while Mir was still "appreciating" these rare materials on the table one by one, Luo Xiu's voice came from in front of him and asked him:

"This is enough material for you to use as a scapegoat, right, my friend?"

"How about accepting my commission?"

"..."

"I'll take it." Mir nodded.

…It’s hard not to pick up.

Mir struggled to move his eyes away from the high-quality materials on the table. He looked at Luo Xiu and said:

"Then it's a deal. This is an expedited forging commission, and it's the most difficult forging commission I've ever received."

"… Let me make it clear in advance. Even if you and the church usually take good care of my business, it's not free. I will charge twice the normal commission!"

"Also, you have to stay here and help me, Luo Xiu."

"I need one day... no, it would be better if I had two full days. During these two days - you come here in the afternoon and evening, Luo Xiu. I will tell you what you should do to help me."

"..."

"Okay." Luo Xiu nodded.

Mir wanted to charge twice the commission fee - but Luo Xiu actually said at the beginning that he would give him three times the commission fee. Mir was giving him a discount.

But for Luo Xiu now, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem... Double the commission, in Luo Xiu's estimation, is about 60,000 gold coins, which is actually one month's dividend of Songyuan City-Golden Country Bank shares.

Luo Xiu then agreed to Mil's request, and at the same time promised him that he would go to the Forge Manor to assist him in the afternoons and evenings of today and tomorrow.

……

After that, Luo Xiu left Mil's forging room and the forging manor and walked towards the Red Maple City.

He did not go to the church. Instead, after changing his body shape and appearance through the foggy night, he went to a not-so-popular tavern and booked a room for two days.

In this way, the real "Bishop" Luo Xiu Carlos has never returned, and will not attract the attention of the hostile eyes hidden in Red Maple City.

However, Luo Xiu still stopped by the church to take a look.

As the "high priest", Anthony managed the affairs of the church well during the time he was on the holy expedition.

The church was still able to operate in an orderly manner without him temporarily. Although more than half of the clergy had been transferred to the front line, Luo Xiu was still quite satisfied with Anthony's performance in taking over the church.

After that, Luo Xiu went to the tavern where he stayed for a short time. After returning to the reserved room and closing and locking the doors and windows, he activated the "Isol Royal Court Seal" and went to the Holy Abyss.

There is still some time before the afternoon and evening appointment with Mir.

Luo Xiu then teleported to the "Holy Abyss" to deal with some other matters.

When colors returned to his field of vision and the scene in front of Luo Xiu became clear again, he was already sitting on the golden throne that symbolized the "Lord of the Holy Abyss."

Afterwards, Luo Xiu took out the "High-level Blank Scroll" he got from the General Church and engraved the "Authority" skill into it. This was something he had to do every day.

I took some time out to do the engraving of "authority" the past two days but all failed and gained nothing.

But this time - after finally engraving the skill inscription related to "authority" into the blank scroll, he finally achieved the first success in three days!

[Successfully created a skill]

[The "Glorious" destiny authority skill has been generated...]

[Obtain: Seal of Severance (Glorious, Level I Authority, lv.1)]

[Already have the authority "Seal of Severing Vows (Glorious, Level I Authority, lv.1)"]

[“Seal of Severance (Glorious, Level I Authority)” skill level increased from lv.1 to lv.2]

【…】

[Seal of Severance (Glory, Level I Authority, lv.2): Make the unclean and heterogeneous things confess and separate!
After applying the "Seal of Severance" to the designated target, if the target has a different spirituality, 40% of the different spirituality connection will be blocked. (This authority can only be used once every 24 hours)]

【…】

This time, the "Engraving of Authority" was successfully carried out, and what he obtained was the authority he already possessed - which raised the authority skill level of the "Seal of the Broken Rings" to lv.2. Luo Xiu was quite satisfied.

Skills that belong to "authority" cannot be upgraded by investing experience points. The normal way to upgrade it is to use it repeatedly, day after day, to temper the authority;
Another way to upgrade "authority skills" is to "create" or learn the same authority skill knowledge again to get an upgrade.

After Luo Xiu upgraded the authority skill level of "Seal of Broken Rings" to lv.2, he confirmed the result of this creation, then closed the panel, rubbed the storage bracelet on his right wrist with his left hand, and extracted another thing from it.

He took out the divine object - "God's Prisoner's Chain".

Luo Xiu was going to place the divine chain that imprisoned the "Spirit of Authority" Hastia on top of the "Holy Abyss" and seal it with the "Great Sun Shining Golden Barrier".

It was still too dangerous to carry this divine object with him... Luo Xiu thought. And above this "Holy Abyss", if a new "Incarnation of Hastia" appeared, he could always mobilize people to handle some emergencies.

While thinking this, a fierce golden light burst out upwards from the palm of Luo Xiu's left hand, which was holding the "Divine Prisoner's Chain"!
From the surface of the "Divine Prisoner's Chain", golden light patterns spread out like thorns.

It will wrap up the entire "Divine Prisoner's Chain" and eventually cover it!
Luo Xiu had already begun to apply the miniature barrier of the "Golden Barrier" to the "God's Prisoner's Chain" -

And in the cracks of the "Divine Prisoner's Chain", the dark red spirit began to make hoarse "hiss, hiss" sounds as if it had sensed the threat from the outside world.

Luo Xiu's palms felt a strong burning sensation at the same time, as if Hastia, the "Spirit of Authority" imprisoned in the divine chain, was resisting.

At the same time, a low, hoarse voice filled with strong anger and resentment came into Luo Xiu's ears:
"Durant's...bloodline..."

"I will definitely...hunt you..."

"..."

He could indeed sense the movements outside—

Luo Xiu thought to himself, and he clenched his left hand holding the "God Prisoner's Lock". At the same time, an increasingly blazing and rich spirituality burst out from his palm. He stared at the divine lock and asked the existence sealed in it indifferently:

"Hestia, the Spirit of Authority, I have a question for you—"

"What do you know about 'Alfonso Durant'?"

"……""……snort."

"The Spirit of Authority" Hastia was obviously unwilling to answer any questions that Luo Xiu asked her.

Afterwards, the dark red spirituality completely disappeared into the depths of the cracks on the surface of the "God's Prisoner's Chain". The scorching hot feeling disappeared, and the golden light that permeated the surface of the "God's Prisoner's Chain" finally completely closed, reinforcing the seal for the "Spirit of Authority" Hastia.

The "Golden Barrier" has been applied.

Now, in the panel of the divine item "Divine Prisoner's Chain", its blocking of India is 66%.

Only when the blockade of India is lower than 20%, the "Spirit of Authoritarianism" Hastia will be in danger of escaping from the "Chains of Divine Prisoners". At least now, Luo Xiu no longer has to worry about the possibility of Hastia escaping.

Luo Xiu stared at the divine lock in his left hand and thought about this.

After a while, he put down the sacred object in his hand, and a compartment popped out from under the armrest of the golden throne he was sitting on. It was a hidden compartment.

Luo Xiu then put the divine object "Divine Prisoner's Lock" into the secret compartment.

If the "Spirit of Authority" Hastia is unwilling to communicate with me, I will lock Him up for a while. After I break dozens or even dozens of "Incarnations of Hastia" that He has differentiated, He will be willing to speak and tell me what He knows.

Luo Xiu was thinking about this.

After thinking for a while, he stopped thinking about Hastia and Alfonso Durant. He had opened another panel, which was his "NPC panel".

He then opened the branch panel of the "NPC Panel", which was the panel of the "Holy Abyss Mall" - since he was promoted to the "Sixth Level Destiny", the "Holy Abyss Mall" should also be updated with new items so that he could gain experience points from players more quickly.

By the way... the first divine item he obtained, the "Double-Faced Doll", is almost ready for players to use -

Now, it has been almost two months since the public beta of "God's Destiny" was launched.

The distribution of free attribute points among players has almost been finalized at this time. At this time, opening up the "two-sided doll" to them is a rigid demand among players.

In Luo Xiu's previous life, there was an important NPC "Index Fugne" who possessed the key function of "resetting points". She charged players 300 gold coins to reset points once.

Luo Xiu thought for a moment, entered the price of "500 gold coins" and "50000 experience points" into the panel, and gave the panel an "OK" instruction -

This is the initial pricing decision.

Luo Xiu knew that he was the only one in Songyuan Territory who had the magic items or props related to "resetting points". Therefore, if the players in Songyuan Territory had related needs, they had to come to "Holy Abyss" -

On the importance of monopoly! .jpg
Luo Xiu closed the last confirmation panel with satisfaction, then went to the "Holy Abyss Mall" to add new items and adjust some skills, knowledge and other products. Then he closed the mall panel and opened the "Spiritual Fountain" panel, from which he withdrew all the nearly 30 million experience points that were almost accumulated.

Until all of this is done.

Luo Xiu heaved a sigh of relief. He had completed everything he wanted to do when he came to the "Holy Abyss" this time. Then, he activated the seal of the Isol Royal Court and teleported himself out of the Holy Abyss and returned to the real world.

……

After that, it was afternoon.

Luo Xiu left the tavern where he was staying and secretly went to the [Forging Manor] and came to Mil's forging room.

Throughout the morning and noon, Mir had already decided on a plan to strengthen the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter].

Some of these steps require Luo Xiu to perform spiritual purification, infusion and engraving on behalf of others. Luo Xiu assisted Mil and participated in the entire process of forging the enhanced ancient dragon weapons.

……

Until the evening of the next day.

“——Shh…”

Mir, wearing heat-insulating gloves, grasped the handles of the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] with both hands and dipped them into the quenching oil.

"Hiss, hiss" sounds kept coming out, and at the same time, there was a thick dark red mist, and the whole room suddenly became as stuffy as a sauna room.

The "strengthening" of the two ancient dragon weapons and all the previous processes were completed in a full day of forging. Now only the last process is left - that directly determines the success or failure of the "strengthening".

Luo Xiu, who had also endured a day and a night like Mil, stood by and looked at Mil with some nervousness, watching him dip the magic sword and scepter into the quenching pool.

It was originally agreed that I would only come here to help in the afternoons and evenings... but after arriving at Mil's forging room the afternoon before, I had inexplicably stayed with Mil until now.

And the "assistance" that Mil asked him to do was not just a few things, it was dozens!

Luo Xiu had been checking his mana value, and at the peak - his mana value even dropped below 30% once!
This is a terrifying loss of mana... Luo Xiu inexplicably felt like he was being drained dry. At the same time, he once again inexplicably recalled his past life, recalling the time when he was a corporate slave at Party B and was asked by Party A to come up with six versions of the plan in one day.

...is also very lively.

Now Luo Xiu only felt a little tired and... weak. He now felt that Mir might have owed him wages, but the "strengthening" was indeed carried out perfectly to the end. As for the strength of the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] after the strengthening was completed, it all depended on Mir's final quenching step.

"呲呲..."

The ear-piercing “hissing” sound was still being heard, and the dark red mist emanating from the quenching pool was becoming increasingly dense—

But the feeling of heat was indeed subsiding, until Mil lifted the two ancient dragon weapons from the quenching pool with both hands. A wisp of red mist finally appeared on their surface, and the last step of "quenching" was completed.

The [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] had just been taken out of the quenching pool, and their surface color was still dull at first.

But soon - the first ray of deep red light rose from the magic sword and the scepter!

Then, like peeling off a cocoon, an increasingly rich and bright light burst out from the surface of the magic sword and the scepter!
There was not only a dark red light, but also a bright golden light - the magic sword and scepter were engraved with Luo Xiu's [Glory] spirituality, and strengthened with a lot of materials that had been tempered by the [Glory] spirituality, so that the [Dragon Flame Magic Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] both gained a very high [Glory] suitability!
The "enhancement" was successful.

There was a bright light in Luo Xiu's eyes, and Mir looked left and right with satisfaction at the two ancient dragon weapons that had been successfully "enhanced", as if he was admiring the two most satisfying works of art that he had created throughout his life.

"…Done. Luo Xiu."

Mir said with a trembling voice.

Finally, he took the "enhanced" magic sword and scepter in his hands and handed them to Luo Xiu with a look of reluctance.

Luo Xiu raised his hands and took them.

The enhanced [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] are not that different in appearance from the original ones.

But there are indeed many places with more details, such as the spiral blade of the magic sword has overlapping traces of "Suncasting Inscriptions" that have been carried out at least seven times; and the surface of the dragon stone at the tip of the scepter is also emitting a light golden light, and the spirituality of [Glory] has been well integrated into it.

Although they didn't look much different from the original ones, Luo Xiu's most intuitive feeling was that they had indeed become more refined and more powerful.

Just like the same skin in a certain game in the previous life, if it can be "upgraded", the special effects of krypton gold at different levels will be different - Luo Xiu indeed felt that the "special effects" of the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Dragon Breath Scepter] in his hands now have become more high-end and gorgeous.

But this was not Luo Xiu's primary concern. The detailed panels of the two weapons after they were strengthened had already popped up in front of him, so Luo Xiu began to browse the contents carefully.

First of all, the [Equipment Name] - the names of the two ancient dragon weapons have been changed to [Glow·Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and [Glow·Dragon Breath Scepter] respectively.

Secondly, [Equipment Efficiency] - Both ancient dragon weapons have gained the new effects of "Holy Light" attribute damage +15%, and "Holy Light" resistance penetration +15%.

The additional attributes of the equipment have also increased by about half compared to before, and the equipment requirements have also changed to "Sixfold Destiny", and the requirements for each attribute value have also increased by half.

This is the improvement of basic attribute, but what Luo Xiu is more concerned about is the improvement of [equipment characteristics].

His eyes then moved downwards and saw the [Equipment Characteristics] column of the two ancient dragon weapons. The first item, [Ancient Dragon Burning Soul], had changed to -

[Ancient Dragon's Burning Soul (Weapon Characteristics/Inherent): "Dragon Flame Demon Sword/Dragon Breath Scepter" initially has 3 layers of "Ancient Dragon Residual Soul". When the holder uses "Dragon Flame Demon Sword/Dragon Breath Scepter" to fight, every time 20% of the upper limit of health is consumed, or 20% of the upper limit of mana is consumed, a layer of "Ancient Dragon Residual Soul" is added, with a maximum of 9 layers.

Every time a layer of "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" is added to the "Dragon Flame Demon Sword", the equipment holder's all-attribute damage increases by 10%, the "Flame" attribute damage increases by an additional 10%, and the "Flame" resistance penetration increases by an additional 10%. 】

【…】

——The initial "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" has been increased from 2 layers to 3 layers, and the number of "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" layers that can be stacked at the same time has been increased from 6 layers to 9 layers!

This is a big enhancement!
This means that Luo Xiu will be able to use "Ancient Dragon's Fierce Breath" and "Ancient Dragon's Bite" once at the start, and when the maximum number of layers are stacked, relying on the two ancient dragon weapons themselves, he will be able to instantly use "Ancient Dragon's Fierce Breath" and "Ancient Dragon's Bite" three times!
With the help of power skills that burn blood and mana, such as "God-Forged Flesh and Blood" and "Guardian Seal", the murderous breath and devouring slash that can be blasted out instantly can become more. It can be said that this is a considerable enhancement!
Luo Xiu thought about these things with joy.

When he saw the great success of the enhancement, he felt that all the fatigue just now was swept away in an instant, as if all the overtime work was worth it——

And the strength increase brought by "strengthening" is not over yet.

Luo Xiu then browsed down and found that the basic damage type and multiplier of [Ancient Dragon's Breath] and [Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash] had also been greatly improved!

[Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash (Active Skill/Inherent): When "Ancient Dragon's Remnant Soul" is stacked to 3 layers or above, the inherent skill "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" can be activated.

消耗1/2/3层“古龙残魂”，对前方大范围施以燎原斩击，造成800％/2000％/4500％物理攻击+500％/1200％/2500％法术攻击的“火焰”属性伤害，并附加一次“古龙之噬斩”总伤害量20％的“圣光”属性伤害，古龙之噬斩不可被抵消，不可被阻挡。】

【…】

[Ancient Dragon's Fierce Breath (Active Skill/Inherent): When "Ancient Dragon Remnant Soul" is stacked to 3 layers or above, the inherent skill "Ancient Dragon's Fierce Breath" can be activated.

消耗1/2/3层“古龙残魂”，对前方大范围喷涌出蕴藏龙吼之力的凶息之焰，造成40*30％/40*70％/40*150％法术攻击+40*10％/40*25％/40*60％物理攻击的“火焰”属性伤害，并附加一次“古龙之凶息”总伤害量20％的“圣光”属性伤害。期间，令受“古龙之凶息”影响范围内的所有目标陷入移动力减缓的“震慑”状态。】

【…】

"Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" and "Ancient Dragon's Evil Breath", in addition to the original "Fire" attribute damage type, also have an additional "Holy Light" attribute damage type!
This is also a huge improvement for Luo Xiu. Because the gain of his "Holy Light" attribute damage is much higher than that of the "Fire" attribute. Although the basic damage of "Holy Light" only accounts for 20% of the total damage of "Ancient Dragon's Fierce Breath" and "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash", if various improvements are taken into account, this part of the "Holy Light" attribute damage can reach half of the total damage, or even higher.

The basic damage multipliers of "Ancient Dragon's Evil Breath" and "Ancient Dragon's Devouring Slash" have also increased a lot. Luo Xiu roughly calculated that using the strengthened magic sword and scepter to blast out Evil Breath and Devouring Slash will cause 60% or even 70% more damage than before!
"..."

After reading the detailed data and content on the panel after the successful "enhancement", Luo Xiu closed the panel with satisfaction.

"I am very satisfied."

He looked in front of him, at Mil, who was exhausted and weak, and said:
"I can feel the unprecedented surging power hidden in them."

"Thank you, Mir, my friend."

"Then, I should go."

"..."

After saying that, Luo Xiu put the magic sword and scepter into his bracelet, and then took out a coin box from the bracelet. Inside the coin box were six hundred neatly arranged platinum coins. He handed the coin box to Mir.

Mir took it and put the coin box on the table beside him without opening it.

He was quite satisfied with his current state. Then, Mir yawned and said:

"Haha——walk slowly, Luo Xiu."

"I've accepted the money, and you should go back to where you belong."

"And I...I just want to get some sleep now..."

"..."

……

Afterwards, after saying goodbye to Mir for the final time, Luo Xiu left Mir's forging room and the forging manor.

He then left Red Maple City without stopping for a moment. After leaving the city, he summoned the "Golden Pegasus" and then flew towards the war-torn city of Fafnir.

Now, after he successfully strengthened the [Dragon Flame Demon Sword] and the [Dragon Breath Scepter], he had to rush back.

In the afternoon, the executioners who were lurking beside Fafnir brought news to Luo Xiu -

The "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir is about to arrive.

In the early hours of the morning, the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir Rochester will arrive at Fafnir City!
Time is of the essence now.

……
