Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 505 Arrangement and Return (5k)

While browsing the panel of "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx, the light surging from Luo Xiu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After being able to clearly see the various attribute values ​​​​in Quesanx's panel and His abilities, Luo Xiu was able to confirm that the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx was indeed very strong. His strength had already met the upper limit of the "Sixth Fate" and had even reached the level of the "Seventh Fate".

Although according to what Quesanx said, gods like them who have lost their authority have experienced long-term wear and tear, that does not prevent Quesanx from still having extremely terrifying strength.

Establishing a contract with Him can indeed greatly increase the combat power on our side.

"..."

Luo Xiu was thinking about this.

After completing the contract with the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, Luo Xiu actually had some other arrangements for him.

Later, he will bring Quesanx back to Fafnir City and reunite with the expeditionary force.

Under his identity as the "Holy Winged Messenger" of [Glory], he really needs Quesanx as part of his combat power.

But when the time comes, I might have to think about how to explain what happened to Lord Gawain, Stuart the Knight of Heaven's Will, and Darwild the Knight of the Sun.

In Luo Xiu's opinion, if he could discard or reduce the wariness of the Supreme against authority as much as possible, he could use the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx, with whom he had signed a contract, as a symbol of his own identity.

This is not without precedent in the "Holy Court".

In the "Holy Court", the "Knight Templar" Demosthenes, whose combat power and status are second only to the "Pope of the Holy Crown" Lorenz, is the "Knight Templar" Demosthenes - he is the "Knight Templar of Dragon Blood" stained with the blood of ancient dragons.

It is said that the "Grand Master of the Knights Templar" Demosthenes once hunted and killed three great ancient dragons in the Broken Continent. They were all lost dragons of the same status as the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx.

After hunting them down, Demoster was nourished by the ancient dragon's blood which contained extremely rich spirituality, thus completing his transformation and sublimation at the "bloodline" level.

As a result, Demoster obtained some of the power of "authority" - although Luo Xiu in his previous life did not know what it was, he had only seen a few times that the attacks launched by the "Dragon Blood Knight" Demoster were a mixture of golden and red light - but now Luo Xiu can be sure that it is the power of [authority].

However, the Supreme did not seem to say anything about this.

In the eyes of most of the Supremes, the vast majority of the "ancient dragons" that exist in the world today are actually not much different from powerful but ignorant monsters.

The era of "ancient dragons" has been gone for too long.

For the [Supreme] - only beings like Hastia, the "Spirit of Authority", can truly subvert the [Supreme] and are the forbidden evil gods belonging to [Authority].

This is also a kind of preconceived prejudice.

In the eyes of the extraordinary people in the current extraordinary world, "dragons" are more like "magic beasts". They are "magic beasts" that can be hunted or controlled and are much more powerful than ordinary individuals.

But in a sense, this actually gave Luo Xiu a certain degree of room for maneuver.

It may not be a convenience.

And there is another thing -

That was about Mir. Since Mir in his previous life was able to advance to the "Fifth Fate" and become an "Ancient Dragon Magic Forger" through the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, it should be possible now in theory.

According to Luo Xiu's knowledge, to be promoted to "Ancient Dragon Magic Blacksmith" one does not need to sign a contract with a big ancient dragon like the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx. That promotion requirement will be triggered after at least being promoted to the sixth level of destiny, or even the seventh level of destiny.

To be promoted to "Ancient Dragon Magic Forger", it is likely that one needs to master some ancient dragon forging skills, which only Quesanx possesses;

And if he can truly forge legendary ancient dragon equipment that can be called "holy weapons" such as the "Dragon Flame Demon Sword" and the "Dragon Breath Scepter", then with the assistance of Quesanx, Mir should be able to accomplish it.

That being the case.

Luo Xiu thought that after he brought Quesanx back to Fafnir City, he would send an envoy to Red Maple City to bring Mir to the front line.

He planned to let the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx give Mir some special training, and during this period, he would use the "Spring of Spirituality" to give Mir some special treatment.

If this can allow Mil to be successfully promoted to "Ancient Dragon Magic Blacksmith", it will also be beneficial to the development of himself and the church.

"..."

Luo Xiu was thinking about this.

While he was thinking, he was also looking up at the sky.

At this time, Quesanx was soaring in the sky above the "Holy Abyss", patrolling this secret realm where [Authoritativeness] had been lost, and Luo Xiu was not in a hurry to recall him.

Because he also has some other things to do in Shengyuan.

After standing there and gazing for a while, Luo Xiu stopped staring at the direction where the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx was flying. He immediately turned around, tightened his cloak, and walked towards another area of ​​the Holy Abyss.

Soon, he arrived in front of a hidden forging workshop.

That was the workshop of the "Ghost Craftsman" Balin, the special craftsman for the "Holy Abyss". His main responsibility was to forge weapons and equipment for the apostles of the Holy Abyss, as well as forging the things that Luo Xiu entrusted him to forge.

Balin was not in the workshop at this time, and Luo Xiu was not looking for him, but was specifically looking to use the "Steel Furnace" that he had given Balin.

That was the loot that Koros had brought out from the Steelburner's base.

Luo Xiu had come to the huge red copper furnace that was like a giant crucible. At the same time, he took out the divine heart of the "Silver Blood True Dragon Hogsmoth" that he had just obtained from Fafnir's treasure cave from his bracelet and threw it into the boiling furnace.

Then, Luo Xiu rubbed his left hand on the surface of the mithril ring on his right hand, and tentacles emitting dark purple light emerged from the ring, dragging out the soul of the "Hidden Sage" Hoffman at the same time.

The deep blue soul light had become turbid, so Luo Xiu threw Hoffman's soul into the furnace. Finally, he sealed the entire furnace with a layer of barrier.

This is a necessary operation before using the [Heart of the Silver-Blooded True Dragon Hogsmoth] and [Hoffman's Soul] to sublimate the "False Guardian" Amber.

These two materials, which are completely different from the [Lost] nature of the "False Guardian", must first be reconciled with each other, and the manic and disordered spirituality in them must be tempered into pure and intangible spirituality, and then they can be used to upgrade the "False Guardian".

It will take about a week to half a month to reconcile them.

According to Luo Xiu's estimation, this shouldn't take too long.

After Luo Xiu put the Heart of the God and Hoffman's soul into the furnace, he gave orders to the Apostle of the Holy Abyss who stayed in the workshop, asking him to take good care of the furnace, and then left the workshop.

He then returned to the main hall of the royal court, activated the royal court seal that teleported back to the real world, and began to repeatedly "teleport" the wealth and treasures in Fafnir's treasure cave back to the Holy Abyss.

In the next half hour, Luo Xiu kept traveling back and forth between the "Holy Abyss" and the real world, continuously emptying the wealth and treasures in the Fafnir Treasure Cave, and gradually piles of gold and silver mountains appeared in the hall of the royal court.

The wealth accumulated in that treasure cave was truly frightening... Not until the last pile of treasures was finally teleported back to the "Holy Abyss" did Luo Xiu sit back on his golden throne, and then, he summoned Intis through spiritual conduction.

Soon, another slender figure emerged like a shadow in front of the royal hall.

That is the Faceless One, Index.

She was wearing a crimson blue cloak and a noble court dress underneath - it was an elegant and formal outfit. Luo Xiu knew at a glance that she must have been in the Iris Chamber of Commerce just a moment ago, discussing cooperation or business with someone.

When Intis received the notification from her "Lord" Luo Xiu, she returned to the "Holy Abyss" immediately. Luo Xiu also saw that the moment Intis came back, her eyes blinked because of the sudden dazzling light.

Then, Intis also saw the mountain of gold and silver that almost filled up half of the hall.

"...?!"

Index's pupils trembled a little, which was also a reaction that Luo Xiu was happy to see.

Luo Xiu then took off the black-patterned puppet mask, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he said to Index:
"Arrange some apostles, Intis."

"Designate an area above the Holy Abyss to store these wealth and treasures."

“I propose to divide it into three parts.”

"At least half of these wealth and treasures will be left in Shengyuan for emergency use; some will be taken back to the Iris Chamber of Commerce; and the rest will be contacted with the Golden Country Bank and let President Qiao Dewen invest and manage it on our behalf."

"It's up to you to arrange them, Intis. I trust your arrangements."

"..."

"I will follow your will, my lord." Intis bowed respectfully to Ross and responded respectfully.

……

At this point, all important arrangements regarding the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx and the Holy Abyss have been completed.

Intis then left with Ross's orders to make arrangements for her Lord's will.

Luo Xiu used spiritual conduction to send a message to the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx, with whom he had signed a contract, telling him that he would be returning soon.

The "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx has been soaring in the sky above the royal court of the Holy Abyss for a long time.

In Luo Xiu's perception of His spirituality, this time should be the most enjoyable time He soared after regaining His freedom.

The secret realm of the royal court left over from this country that worships [authoritarianism] did make Him feel comfortable, and in Luo Xiu's detection of Him through the panel, several of His attributes had even increased slightly in an instant.

He is indeed “reclaiming” the power of His “authority.”

As Luo Xiu was thinking, he also felt that the spiritual aura of the "Ancient Dragon" Quesanx was approaching him.

He came back from the sky - and soon, he flew back in front of Luo Xiu. He was still the dark red "fire dragon"-like figure, and his dragon pupils were flashing with excitement and spirit.

Then, Luo Xiu activated the Royal Court Seal and teleported himself and the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx back to the real world.

Afterwards, the man and the dragon returned towards Fafnir City.

……

A few hours later.

It was already evening.

The sun hanging high in the sky had just set behind the mountain, and the blue moon rose up instead.

A bright light had passed over the outline of the walls of Fafnir City, and the pale blue moonlight flowed down, causing the expeditionary guards stationed on the walls to shiver and feel a bit of a bone-chilling cold.

Two days ago, a section of the city wall that was destroyed by the terrifying dragon controlled by the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir has now been repaired by the "Sage of Secrets" Dukeler and his scholars and warlocks.

Now those stationed on this section of the city wall are the "Adventers" from the church and the border.

Thomas, Crocodile, Alicia, Huangdou and others were leaning on the edge of the wall, warming themselves around a bonfire.

Howard, the "Priest of the Holy Inquisition" of the church, issued a mission to the "Saint Guardians" around noon:

Because the terrifying dragon that appeared in the morning had returned, the entire city of Fafnir was put back into the highest level of combat readiness and alert.

All the "Guardians" replaced the original defenders on the city walls, ready to face the possible attack on Fafnir City by the "Dragon of Destruction" Fafnir at any time.

This task also appeared in the form of a "panel task" on the panel of Thomas and other players. Thomas was very happy to see it.

Because he felt that he was extremely strong now, and he couldn't wait to witness the next scene of a river of blood!
After completing the task of [Disaster of Quesanx], Thomas gained a large amount of experience points and free attribute points, as well as an "epic" quality specialty that enhanced his output ability.
In addition, the "Holy Abyss" mall has recently launched a lot of skills and techniques applicable to the triple destiny, and even a new "reset points" function. Thomas, who has sufficient experience reserves, has made a big purchase in the Holy Abyss mall, and now he is in his prime with the optimal configuration.

Not only that, as if to prepare for the possible air raid by Fafnir at any time, the Border Court agreed for the first time to open up the control of the colonized "Flame Red Dragon" to the "Adventers".

The two strongest "guardians" of the church, Thomas and Crocodile, each received a flaming red dragon.

"……Roar."

On the city wall where Thomas was leaning, a red fire dragon was lying beside him.

The red dragon was coiling its long neck, a small flame spurting out of its slightly opened jaws, and Thomas had stretched out his hand toward it.

Thomas gently stroked its forehead and looked at the fire dragon, his eyes flashing with bright light.

——That is the fire dragon belonging to him, Thomas!
He had wanted to "tame" a monster since his time in Ratama City. Now that he could finally ride a dragon, he had finally fulfilled one of his wishes.

Actually, Thomas originally wanted to ride the "black dragons" captured from Fafnir - but according to the news sent back by Fangbeiyuan, it seems that those black dragons have not been fully domesticated, and Fangbeiyuan has not yet researched the corresponding rune breeding equipment. Therefore, Fangbeiyuan rejected all the applications of Thomas and other "Guardians".

But Thomas is satisfied now - he stares at the fire dragon beside him, his hands constantly stroking its smooth scales, and the corners of his mouth gradually rise in a strange arc.

“Hehe… Hehehe…”

"..."

"Your smile is a little perverted... Little Train."

Alicia stretched out her hands and approached the campfire in front of her to warm herself by the fire. She looked towards Thomas with a helpless look and said with some contempt.

"And you, iron pot stew."

Then, Alicia turned her gaze to the other side, looking at the crocodile who was also stroking the dragon——

"Your smile is even more perverted."

"Please, please ...

"..."

"Hehe...hehehe..."

"A crocodile stewed in an iron pot." He seemed to have not heard what Alicia said at all, and a rather obscene laugh came out from under his helmet.

Alicia actually didn’t quite understand. It was just that they were finally assigned two fire red dragons, so why were they laughing so pervertedly?

But she didn't intend to understand. She just curled her lips, turned her palm over, and continued to use the warmth of the campfire to dispel the coldness in her body.

However, the next moment——

"Roar!!!"

Almost at the same time, the crocodile and Thomas's red dragon both raised their slender necks, their black and yellow dragon pupils looked towards the distant sky at the same time, and let out extremely excited roars -

"Roar!!!!!"

Thomas and the crocodile didn't realize what was happening at this time.

They just felt that their respective fire red dragons seemed to have fallen into a state of excitement and even frenzy - then, they spread their wings at the same time and were about to fly into the sky!

Bang, bang, bang!

A crisp collision sound was heard, and the two red dragons flew about three or four meters into the air. Then, they were restricted in their further flying height by the chains bound to their hind legs. They had also pulled the chains straight.

At the same time, Thomas, Crocodile, Alicia, Huangdou and others all felt a palpitation in their hearts.

They suddenly realized that the "excitement" of the two flaming red dragons was not due to excitement, but rather to some kind of intense fear.

As Thomas gazed, he finally saw a dark shadow emerging in the farthest sky.

"--roar!!!!!"

The black shadow let out a roar that seemed to shake the heavens and the earth!
Compared to it, the roars of the two flaming red dragons were as small as the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Thomas has now recognized what the black shadow is.

"Shit, that's the 'Ancient Dragon' Quesanx!"

Thomas stood up and shouted excitedly to his companions:

“It’s coming back!”
