Chapter 343 [Lofty Prayer] and [Lofty Judgment]
...give me some recommendations?
You are quite a nice person.jpg
Luo Xiu thought to himself, and he immediately thanked "Bishop Qihui" Lawrence in front of him:
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lawrence. In fact, I also want to take a look at the classics about [Supreme Prayer] and the sacred skills of [Supreme Holy Judgment]. Do you know where they are?"
"[Noble Prayer] and [Noble Holy Judgment]?" Lawrence was stunned when he heard this, then thought about it for a while, and said:
"That should correspond to "Hymn that Illuminates the World" and "Salvation of the Lost." It's placed on the display shelf over here. Please follow me."
After saying that, Lawrence led the way, and Luo Xiu followed behind him, walking towards the right column of the secret volume hall.
In fact, he knew where the classics corresponding to these sacred skills were placed, but he could not make Lawrence suspicious too much - he went directly to the deepest part and browsed "A Hundred Years of Hongdao's Journey", which was an easily suspicious behavior. That's enough, never a second time.
Following Lawrence to the aisle on the right side of the secret volume hall, Lawrence stopped in front of the newly decorated gilt display shelves, turned around, and said to Luo Xiu:
"This is it - "Hymn that Illuminates the World" is in the middle column on the third floor, and "Salvation of the Lost" is in the right column on the second floor. Please do as you please, Luo Xiu."
After Lawrence finished speaking, Luo Xiu nodded and walked to the place where he said the books were stored——
"Hymn that Illuminates the Mortal World" is a newly compiled sacred book. Its book cover shows two winged angels descending into the world, and they are surrounded by believers who sing loudly hymns.
Luo Xiu quickly flipped through the books in his hand, and new text content appeared on his panel at the same time——
[You have discovered the skill - "Noble Prayer (Glory, lv.1)"]
[The experience value required for learning is 160000]
[The epic feat "Divine Thinking" is in effect, reducing the required experience points by 50%]
[The experience value required for learning is 80,000. Do you want to learn? 】
【……】
When these contents were refreshed on the panel, Luo Xiu heard the voice of "Bishop Qihui" Lawrence at the same time:
"The book you are looking at, "The Hymn that Illuminates the World," Luo Xiu—it was edited and edited by Archbishop Sid himself. It contains complete knowledge about the sacred art [sublime prayer]. And I was fortunate enough to be chosen by the archbishop to be the first proofreader of this sacred book..."
“In the Diocese of Songyuan, if you want to master the sacred skills with the word ‘sublime’, you can only do so here, in our Songyuan City Church.”
"..."
When introducing this to Luo Xiu, Lawrence had a rather proud expression on his face.
Luo Xiu nodded politely in response, while still looking at the sacred books in his hands.
While Lawrence was introducing, Luo Xiu also gave the panel the instruction to "confirm learning" and paid out 80,000 experience points.
[Current learning progress: 33%...]
"Luo Xiu, I suggest you... the sacred skills named 'sublime' are not that easy to master. Although Archbishop Sid agrees to let you read three books, you only have ten minutes left..."
While the "Learning Progress" in the panel was still dragging forward, a kind reminder from Lawrence once again reached Luo Xiu's ears.
[Current learning progress: 66%...]
"I suggest you, Luo Xiu. You should focus on reading this part, write down some of the key points, and wait until the next time you have established a sacred merit, then come to the main church and apply to the Archbishop to enter the 'Secret Volume Hall'. Get the chance to read them..."
"..."
[Current learning progress: 100%...]
[You have acquired the skill "Noble Prayer (Glory, lv.1)"]
[Sacred Skill: Sublime Prayer (Glory, lv.1)]
[Supreme Prayer (Glory, lv.1): You have mastered the ancient sacred prayer and are fully familiar with the sacred Sanskrit sounds circulated in the recent era of gods. 】
[Before you prepare to "pray" to activate the holy spell, you can recite ancient Sanskrit texts to make your "prayer" divinely sublimated - your use of the holy spell will consume more mana, depending on how much you consume. With the level of mana, the effect of "holy spell" will be increased by a certain percentage, up to 150% of the original value. 】
"..."
While Lawrence was still giving "kind reminders", Luo Xiu had completed the learning process of [Subtle Prayer].
"Luo Xiu, so..."
Lawrence seemed to want to say something more, but looking at Luo Xiu's very focused look, he was about to remain silent and not disturb him anymore——
But then he saw that the Bishop of Red Maple City, "Rossiu Carlos", suddenly closed the book.
"You are right, Sir Lawrence."
Luo Xiu smiled and said to Lawrence:
"I really should save time..."
As he spoke, under Lawrence's somewhat confused gaze, he stuffed "Hymn that Illuminates the World" back to its original position, then leaned down and took out the "Salvation of the Lost" from the second row.
…
Well……
Seeing that Luo Xiu was ready to read the second holy book, Lawrence sighed.
He felt that his "suggestions" did not seem to be listened to by Luo Xiu. He felt that the young bishop in front of him was still a little impatient, and he would not learn anything from this...
But soon, Lawrence suppressed such thoughts and widened his eyes——
The voice of Luo Xiu speaking before suddenly echoed in his mind. It was a tone mixed with some kind of "holy Sanskrit sound" - although it was slight, Lawrence could hear it!
And the young bishop in front of him, the faint spiritual aura he exuded unconsciously, also had some subtle changes in the previous moment.
Under Lawrence's somewhat suspicious and stunned gaze, Luo Xiu had already opened the second book in his hand.
"The Redemption of the Lost" is a book with a cover showing pictures of the "Holy Judges" punishing heretics. Its internal content is similar, and the sacred skill [Supreme Holy Judgement] recorded in it is also related to this.
[You have discovered the skill - "Noble Holy Judgment (Glory, lv.1)"]
[The experience value required for learning is 180000]
[The epic feat "Divine Thinking" is in effect, reducing the required experience points by 50%]
[The experience value required for learning is 90,000. Do you want to learn? 】
【……】
"——Study." Luo Xiu immediately gave the instruction to study and paid 90,000 experience points to the panel.
The panel in front of him immediately surged with light and shadow, and the panel of learning progress unfolded and advanced at a considerable speed as Luo Xiu continued to flip through it.
"..."
"Bishop Qihui" Lawrence, he originally wanted to give some advice to the newly promoted "Bishop" Luo Xiu as a senior, but seeing Luo Xiu fall into concentration for the second time, Lawrence, who was about to speak, soon showed a subtle expression. He closed his mouth——
[Current learning progress: 33%...]
【……】
[Current learning progress: 66%...]
【……】
[Current learning progress: 100%...]
[You have acquired the skill "Supreme Holy Judgment (Glory, lv.1)"]
[Sacred Skill: Sublime Holy Judgment (Glory, lv.1)]
[Supreme Holy Judgment (Glory, lv.1): You know the way of salvation, and use your sublimity to bring down the radiance of judgment. 】
[You gain the experience of "Supreme Holy Judgment" - the more pagans with non-"Glorious" fates who are judged by you, the more free attribute points you will get. 】
[If you rule against a "first-fold destiny" heretic, you will get 1 free attribute point; if you rule against a "second-fold destiny" heretic, you will get 2 free attribute points; if you rule against a "third-fold destiny" heretic, you will get 4 free attribute points... …By analogy, the higher the fate of the heretic in the judgment, the free attribute points obtained will be doubled. 】
[The maximum number of free attribute points obtained through "Noble Holy Judgment" is 500 points, currently (0/500)]
【……】
Huh... After quickly browsing the detailed introduction on the [Supreme Holy Judgment] in the panel, Luo Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He then closed "The Lost Salvation" again, leaned over and put it back on the second floor of the bookshelf, then turned around, smiled at "Bishop Qihui" Lawrence and said:
"Thank you for your guidance, Sir Lawrence. I have indeed benefited a lot."
At the same time, the pocket watch in Lawrence's hand also made a "click, click" sound and started to chime the time every half hour.
"..."
Seeing Lawrence's stunned expression, Luo Xiu reminded him in a gentle voice:
"Half an hour is up, Sir Lawrence?"
"..."
"...Oh, I'm sorry, Luo Xiu. I was a little distracted."
Lawrence murmured in response, raised his head at the same time, and met Luo Xiu's scorching golden eyes for an instant.
He clearly felt that at a certain moment - the "Bishop" Rossiu Carlos in front of him, the spiritual aura exuded by him had the same subtle change as before!
He must have "opened" something or "enlightened" something in the process of reading the sacred classics, but Lawrence was not sure, so he could only cast an inquiring look at Luo Xiu and couldn't help but ask:
"Luo Xiu...your spirituality seems to be different from before?"
"Just ten minutes - what did you learn from those two sacred books?"
"..."
"I don't know, Sir Lawrence."
Luo Xiu spread his hands and responded with piety and humility:
"I just purely want to see the holy relic of [Glory], and my small wish has finally come true. I feel more satisfied than ever before."
"..."
You don’t know…Lawrence was a little stunned, but he didn’t think much about it.
Maybe he really just came to "visit" the sacred classics. How could something so outrageous happen? How could someone learn the sacred skills in less than ten minutes...
Seeing the sincere look in Luo Xiu's eyes, Lawrence convinced himself like this, and a calm smile appeared on his face.
"So, Luo Xiu."
Bishop Lawrence said:
"You are indeed a devout colleague, and your faith is obvious to all."
"It's a pity that the time has come...According to the Archbishop's instructions, you can't stay any longer. But it doesn't matter. I look forward to your new achievements and the day when you come to the Secret Volume Hall again."
…
After that, Lawrence accompanied Luo Xiu to leave the "Secret Volume Hall" and the "Sacred Reserve".
Luo Xiu had completed the "divine revelation" ceremony as requested by the archbishop, so he no longer needed to stay in the church. Lawrence then sent him out of the church and accompanied him back to his original residence in Songyuan City. Go to the "Wolf Hunter Tavern".
After watching Luo Xiu walk into the courtyard of the tavern and his back disappearing behind the door of the tavern, Lawrence returned along the original path and went straight back to the church and to the "Noble Hall" where Archbishop Sid was.
Holding the token of Archbishop Sid, Lawrence went directly to the door of the "Heart Court", pushed open the pure white door in front of him, and went to the "Heart Court" to see——
Archbishop Sid was still sitting on the Holy See. Seeing Bishop Lawrence return, he looked at him with his deep eyes and said in a calm voice:
"You're back, Lawrence."
"So... Luo Xiu, how is his performance?"
"..."
"The Bishop of Red Maple City, he has indeed read only three sacred books according to his agreement with you."
Lawrence first offered the archbishop a devout sacrament, and then said:
"He browsed "A Hundred Years of Hongdao's Journey", "Hymn that Illuminates the World" and "The Redemption of the Lost". Among them, he browsed the "Hundred Years of Hongdao's Journey" which records history for the longest time."
"History..." Archbishop Sid looked solemn.
He knew that "Rosio Carlos" was a priest from the church in Sina City. Almost every priest who came from there would be interested in that hidden history. Archbishop Sid was not surprised. .
"Then what?" the Archbishop asked.
"Then..." Lawrence organized his words and answered the archbishop:
"In the last ten minutes, he only briefly glanced at "Hymn that Illuminates the World" and "The Redemption of the Lost", and seemed to have an epiphany. I can feel that there are some subtle changes in his spirituality..."
"That's normal, Lawrence."
Archbishop Sid nodded slightly, "Well... after all, it records the knowledge of sacred skills. Does he have anything else to say?"
"Yes, Archbishop."
Lawrence replied:
"He said - he just purely wanted to see the [Glorious] Holy Relic, and this wish finally came true, and he felt unprecedented satisfaction."
"..."
"That's it." Archbishop Sid nodded slightly.
Later, Lawrence saw the Archbishop sitting on the Holy See. A trace of gloom seemed to have disappeared in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"I'm relieved."
"Roseux Carlos..."
The Archbishop murmured, half to himself:
"He is not 'Alfonso' after all."
"He doesn't have that kind of ambition, at least he won't repeat... the same 'disaster'."
…
The main street of Songyuan City, Wolf Hunter Tavern.
When Luo Xiu said goodbye to "Bishop Qihui" Lawrence who was seeing him off, he walked straight into the door of the tavern and entered the courtyard of the tavern. At the same time, the familiar voice of "Knight of the Throne" Isaac came to his ears. sound.
There is also the voice of another "Knight of the Throne" Blueyere. They have returned from temporary recruitment and are having a peak battle of war chess in the room——
The kind words from Isaac were wrapped in Blueyere’s annoyed voice. In Luo Xiu’s impression, Blueyere seemed to have never won...
So he walked directly into their room. Isaac saw him at a glance and was quite happy and just about to say hello to him——
But Blueyere took the lead. He raised his arm in an exaggerated manner and "accidentally" overturned the war chess on the table:
"It's you, Luo Xiu!"
Amidst Isaac's sweet scolding, Luo Xiu responded to their "greetings" with a smile and asked them casually:
"I heard that there seemed to be a riot on Wind Chime Main Street."
"You just didn't come back—what happened there?"
"..."
"Humph, something happened at a mansion."
Isaac glared at Blueyere and said:
"The cultists who came from nowhere invaded a mansion belonging to the Department of Justice and killed a 'Grand Inquisitor'."
"I don't know why, but the Marquis seemed quite angry about this. We originally just went to the 'Round Table' for a routine meeting, but we received the highest-level call."
"The highest level of recruitment?" Luo Xiu asked in agreement.
"Yes - the highest level!"
"We turned the mansion upside down and found some unusual things."
Bluyere nodded, emphasized his tone, and said solemnly:
"I didn't expect..."
"——[The Order Slayer] was actually involved in this matter!"
