Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest

Chapter 382 On the Importance of Waistcoat (Third update 9k+! Happy New Year to everyone in advance!)

After returning to the dinner party with Albert, Luo Xiu went up to the second floor of the auditorium with him, and then came to the balcony where he could see the entire audience from a high position, and came to an exquisite square table with four seats.

The table was already set with silverware, expensive red wine and desserts. The four waiters stood beside the square table and saluted respectfully to Albert and Luo Xiu who had just arrived.

When they arrived here, the two principals and deputy deans of Fangbeiyuan - "Irfan" and "Eureka" had also arrived, sitting on the two seats slightly inside.

The two positions with good views and close to the balcony are reserved for Albert and "Bishop" Luo Xiu. Just when Luo Xiu and Albert returned to the second floor of the auditorium, the two [Intellect] Great Knowledgeers of the Monument Court also stood up and greeted them.

After that, the four highest-ranking people in Red Maple City took their seats one after another and began to enjoy the melodious music during the dinner and the dance of the graceful ladies and ladies on the dance floor below.

Albert, Irfan and Eureka began to chat about business in a half-casual and half-formal manner. Luo Xiu also participated, but he was always a little uneasy.

He was always thinking about the reason why the "Night Witch" Niaf wanted to spy on him.

There are several possibilities he can think of -

Being born in Sina City, he may be inextricably linked to the former Bishop "Alfonso Durant". This is the easiest thing to cause the [Supreme] to be wary of, and it is the greatest possibility.

Then, there was the "Fountain of Spirituality" that he had purchased from the "Black Sword Mansion" - since then, he pretended to be a businessman from the Kingdom of Gold and disappeared. It is possible to investigate oneself regarding that matter, but the possibility is lower than the former.

Because no matter how you put it, it is just a matter of a divine object and "a mere two hundred thousand gold coins".

Since Gawain is willing to put the "Fountain of Spirituality" up for public auction, it means that he actually doesn't understand what kind of bugs there are in this divine object——

Moreover, judging from the experience of Qiao Devin, the real winner of the "Fountain of Spirituality" and the president of the "Golden Country Bank" in his previous life, he lived well until the end of the Trial War. Lord Gawain did not use "divine objects" to Fishing enforcement.

Lord Gawain indeed only regarded the "Fountain of Spirituality" as a commodity at that time, and he was indeed short of money at the time. This was a matter of one willing to sell and the other willing to buy.

But it is also difficult to connect with myself as a "bishop". Whether it is the line of the "Iron Hammer" or the line of the "Golden State Bank", it is difficult to implicate myself——

Because Mir's mask is not his own, but shared with several dwarves with different fates, it has changed hands many times.

"Bank of El Dorado" is even simpler. Since President Qiao Devin was dragged onto the pirate ship, all financial reports about the "Carlos" family have been triple-encrypted, and only President Qiao Devin himself knows.

For security reasons, "Vice President" Gonzalo's memory has been tampered with by Qiao Dewen using [nihility] means.

In fact, President Qiao Dewen didn’t know what Luo Xiu was doing with the loan of more than 200,000 yuan at that time. Unless the [Supreme] found Qiao Dewen to make a confession, it would be difficult to compare the "spring of spirituality" with being a "bishop" Think of it yourself.

In fact, there is another possibility - that is, Gawain knew that "Velino Bakar" was his father's illegitimate son, and his half-brother was killed by himself who had just visited Songyuan City. thing.

But this possibility is even lower, and if the incident really comes to light, Gawain shouldn't be the one to test him. Marquis Vizia should have sent people to dismantle the entire Red Maple City Church...

"..."

Luo Xiu thought about these carefully, as if peeling off a cocoon, and thought about all the things about himself that deserved the suspicion of the [Supreme] "Lord" Gawain.

He roughly listed a variety of possibilities, and came up with specific ways to deal with them. He decided to go back to the "Bishop's Holy See" to put them into practice immediately after returning.

At this time, he was holding the wine glass lightly, thinking, and chatting normally with Albert, Irfan, and Eureka.

While talking about the pagans who are still running rampant in Red Maple City, Luo Xiu suddenly heard Albert say:

"It seems - I heard that the refugees who have recently joined the Guards have talked about it. Recently, there is an organization called 'Holy Abyss' in Red Maple City, and its activities have been quite frequent."

"..."

Luo Xiu pricked up his ears.

"Before, when I first handed over the sovereignty of the 'Side Court' to Baines, Baines also mentioned them to me."

"Yeah, I remember that too."

Alfan nodded. He forked a piece of beef and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said:

"They appeared on the battlefield where the Dark Army attacked the city. But they were not enemies, but friendly forces - they helped us severely damage the Dark Army and blocked the terrifying beast tide at that time."

"..."

After Irfan finished speaking.

Luo Xiu also put down his wine glass and said eloquently:

"They claim to be the 'Apostles of the Holy Abyss', and the church has received many witness reports about them."

"We already know that those 'Apostles of the Holy Abyss' serve a 'Lord of the Holy Abyss', and that Lord of the Holy Abyss should have the strength of the unknown destiny fifth level, or even the sixth level."

"As for whether they are enemies or friends - it is true that as Mr. Alfan said, they have helped us and have not shown any hostility to us yet."

"The church has put them under observation, but has not yet put them on the list of those who should be judged."

"..."

After hearing what "Bishop" Luo Xiu said, Albert pondered for a while.

His calloused index finger subconsciously tapped the table again and again, making a short muffled sound of "Tuk, Tuk".

After pondering for a while, Albert said:

"Then ignore them for now."

"But... Luo Xiu. Since they are heretics, your church still has to investigate them and find out their details."

...I investigate myself?

Luo Xiu couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he still kept a solemn expression on his face, nodded and said:

"Yeah, I know."

…

until the end of the dinner.

The night has completely fallen, and the hazy moonlight is pouring down on the treetops, on the eaves of the building, and on the guests who are leaving the door of the chief auditorium one after another.

Luo Xiu said goodbye to Albert, Irfan and the others, and took the church's clergy out of the main hall, left the side courtyard, and got on the chariot returning to the church.

Albert personally bid farewell to Luo Xiu. Under the gaze of the Thunder General, the "Bishop"'s chariot drove into the street and soon disappeared at the end.

Half an hour later.

The chariot has arrived at the church, Luo Xiu went straight to his "Bishop's Holy Seat", returned to the bedroom, and pulled up Yao Jin's barrier.

He opened his panel, and the [Mark of the Night Witch] in the "Status" column was still flashing an eye-catching dark red light.

Looking at this abnormal status entry, Luo Xiu summoned the "Shadow Raven" Wuye at the same time, causing the room to be filled with a thick black mist filled with a profound aura——

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

A pair of curious, scarlet eyes emerged from the dense and rich fog, all looking at Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu's field of vision was also connected to the "Shadow Raven" Wuye at the same time - it had the "Mark of Dominance" specially applied to it by Luo Xiu, and it shared perception and sight with Luo Xiu.

Adapting to this dizzying "shared perception", Luo Xiu gave Wu Ye the next "instruction".

——Wow!

The thick fog that filled the entire room faded by half in an instant.

Right in front of Luo Xiu, hundreds of "fog shadows" had gathered and intertwined together, outlining a figure of the same height as Luo Xiu.

He asked Wu Ye to create his "real phantom" again - but unlike before, which was just a simulated appearance, this time, as much power as possible that belonged to the "Lord of the Holy Abyss" was poured into it. ——

Therefore, the progress of creating the "real phantom" this time is particularly slow. Condensing at least one third of the spirituality shared by Luo Xiu into the false body also requires a considerable degree of concentration.

Until an hour passed.

The deep black mist that filled the room had completely dissipated, and in front of Luo Xiu, another "completely true" version of himself appeared.

It is more real than the "real phantom" that is usually created, and its full spiritual response is almost the same as that of the original owner.

Looking at and feeling his "clone" in front of him, Luo Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

He specially created a new "self", which obviously has its own uses.

During the week when the real master was monitored by the "Night Witch" Niaf with the mark, his "clone" could represent himself, constantly traveling between the "Holy Abyss" and reality for him, and would not be affected by the mark's surveillance. Forced to be grounded.

It also bypassed Niaf and Gawain's surveillance.

They still couldn't find any clues.

"..."

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and he raised his right hand at the same time.

The other "Luo Xiu" also raised his right hand at the same time. The only difference was that the dark red dragon claw mark was flashing on the back of his hand.

A ring of red light patterns appeared on the soles of its feet, which was a magic circle that could be teleported to the "Holy Abyss" and the "Forgotten Royal Court of Isol".

And its figure quickly faded and disappeared with the flash of light from the magic circle. It had been teleported to the Holy Abyss by Luo Xiu and teleported to the royal court.

As his "incarnation", as a complete one-to-one replica of the "vest", he made the necessary announcements to the new influx of players on his behalf.

No one will see any flaws.

As for Gawain, there is also the witch Niaf of the "night".

They won't find anything.

Nothing.
