Master the Abyss, starting from an apprentice priest.

Chapter 541 Skadia
Pamier and Connor in the courtyard were watching the rising black shadow.

It was no longer possible to conceal the shock and desire that stirred their hearts in their eyes.

It is a kind of infinite desire for power - even as [Glory], at certain moments, one will also yearn and yearn for a powerful force beyond destiny.

Especially when that power comes from Luo Xiu, who is also a [Glorious] and already an "Archbishop".

"All right."

After watching the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx carrying Mir disappear into the clouds and disappear, Luo Xiu turned around and looked at Pamier, Connor and others.

These two were the first Holy Judges of the Church that Luo Xiu had met since he traveled to the "Apocalypse World". He could sense that they had also reached the threshold of being promoted to the "Triple Destiny" -

The levels of Pamier and Connor have both reached the upper limit of the triple destiny level 30. And the "Dragon of Justice" Quesanx that they just saw seems to have touched their hearts even more.

For the indigenous people of the Apocalypse World, this kind of inspiration is good and it is indeed helpful for them to find the opportunity and key to a breakthrough.

"Thank you for your hard work, Pamier and Connor."

Luo Xiu looked at his old friends in front of him, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to them jokingly:

"Mil...his personality may be a little strange. However, he seems to get along well with you."

"Not bad." Pamier nodded slightly.

She did agree with what Luo Xiu said. While escorting Mil and his dwarves here, they did find that these dwarves of the "Sand and Gravel" clan, who either followed [Wisdom] or [Bitter Tea] but were essentially forgers, were all very stubborn.

But just don't question them too much and don't get involved.

Normally, when Mir and his people start to "discuss" a certain forging technique or process, the originally harmonious communication will quickly take a sharp turn for the worse and turn into red-faced scolding and quarreling.

At this time, if outsiders try to mediate the fight, it may make the dwarves of the "Gravel" clan become united and face the outside world together. The outsiders who try to mediate the fight will become the target of scolding or attack by these "Gravel" dwarves!
However, this dispute ended quickly.

They seem... really rigid and nitpicky when it comes to forging skills and the inheritance of knowledge.

But Pamier was then surprised to find that the dispute among these dwarf craftsmen did not seem to affect the "friendship" between them. After a quarrel, it only took a few minutes for them to raise their wooden wine glasses to each other, and their faces would turn into laughter and drinking.

So... the dwarves who came from the "Broken Continent", the "weirdness" that Luo Xiu mentioned is real, but Pamier also felt something else.

"correct."

While Pamier was thinking about these things, she heard Luo Xiu's voice again, and Luo Xiu was looking at her.

"I haven't seen Anthony in a while either."

Luo Xiu asked Pamier:

"How is he now?"

"..."

"He is very busy," Pamier replied.

"Since you led half of the church's clergy on the expedition, Anthony has not had a day's rest. As the 'high priest' of the Red Maple City Church, he is always busy dealing with various temporary wartime affairs in the rear, and every three or four days, he has to report to the Songyuan General Church."

"It seems that he hasn't rested for a day... Hmm. But he is now much more energetic than before. The sentence he says most often now is, 'Work enriches me and enables me to find my own value. This is the path of dedication that the sun guides me to in a moment...'"

"..."

"...?"

Pamier's words always gave Luo Xiu an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

It seemed as if Anthony had also awakened something strange... After the expedition is over, I should go back to see him and give him a few days off.

Luo Xiu thought to himself.

He chatted with Pamier and Connor for a while longer, and got a general understanding of their status and recent situation. He then personally escorted them out of the Rochester Manor courtyard and headed to the church station in Val Fortress.

……

In addition to welcoming Mir to the Laival Fortress and settling him in, the more important thing of the day was that the Songyuan Expeditionary Force was about to set off.

However, because the two "Shining Knights" under Davild who went to Fafnir City to investigate - Elias and Pasior - have not returned yet, Ross, Davild, the "Saint" Franya, the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine, and several elite priests under their command also temporarily stayed in the Val Fortress.

At the marching speed of the main force, it would take about half a month to reach the plain outside the dark capital and set up camp.

At this rate, it would take Luo Xiu, Davild and the others to catch up with the main force of the expeditionary force, and the time could be shortened to three days.

According to Luo Xiu's time plan, they can stay in Val Fortress for about ten days at most. This will give Franya and Monine enough time to investigate the deeper part of the "scar", and during this time, Mir will be able to more fully understand the ancient dragon skills and knowledge taught to him by Quesanx.

I planned these in my heart.

Luo Xiu, Pamier and Connor were walking one after the other on the dilapidated streets of the Val Fortress.

Watching the expeditionary soldiers coming and going, they knew that Lord Gawain had already given the order that at noon, the entire expeditionary army would line up on the plain west of the Val Fortress, and make the final mobilization and speech before the battle.

The soldiers who were still rushing around on the streets of Val Fortress were making their final preparations before the battle. When they passed by Luo Xiu, they would stop and salute their respected "Archbishop".

The respect and devotion on the faces of those soldiers were, in the eyes of Pamier and Connor, their sincere longing from the bottom of their hearts.

Connor knew it, and even Pamier had heard of it, that their "Archbishop" Rossouw had a huge influence in the expeditionary force, even higher than the honorary leader Lord Gawain, and was almost reaching the level of the spiritual leader of the entire army.

Luo Xiu only felt that the two pairs of golden and golden-green eyes behind him were gradually becoming hotter. He didn't know what Pamier and Connor were thinking at this moment, and he was about to pass the edge of the restricted area of ​​the "scar".

In Luo Xiu's field of vision, he saw that under the observation tower built by the "Secret Sage" Dukeler, it was the "Holy Deacon" Hubert who was dispatching the clergy on duty there.

Today, the "Scar" forbidden area is still under a high level of martial law, and Luo Xiu heard early in the morning that the "Saint" Franya and the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine had led the "God Hunting" Knights Templar into the forbidden area early to investigate the deep blasphemy and mystery therein.

When Luo Xiu just passed by here, Hubert was dispatching the clergy to open the heavy steel gate - the "God Hunter" Templar Knights walked out of the restricted area one by one, including the "Saint" Franya, and the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, it seemed that this investigation was quite fruitful, and that the "Saint" Franya also had something more in her hands.

It was a [stone slab]. On it were web-like patterns like the roots of a giant tree, emitting a dim light.

Luo Xiu had seen them from afar and was ready to go up and say hello to them.

But he suddenly felt that Pamier's body seemed to tremble behind him, as if she had seen something that had greatly shaken her heart.

"Homeowner..."

Pamier murmured almost silently.

Her golden-green pupils were staring in the direction of Monine in a daze.

"..."

Homeowner?

Luo Xiu heard clearly what Pamier was muttering.

She was looking at the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine, but Monine hadn't noticed her yet. This made Luo Xiu suddenly realize that they seemed to have the same last name -

Pamier and Monigne, they are both "Scadi"!
When Luo Xiu was still in the Sina City Church as a "Holy Inquisitor", he noticed that Pamier possessed many qualities that ordinary Holy Inquisitors did not have.

For example, when she was only in the Second Fate, her Paladin Armor was of "Epic" quality, as was her Holy Sword.

But Luo Xiu didn't think too much about it at the time. He just thought that the family behind Pamier should have a considerable influence on the fate of [Glory] and the "Holy Court".

At that time, Luo Xiu was only between the second and third destiny, and was still far away from the "Sword of the Holy" and "Monine Scadija".

But now I suddenly discovered that there seems to be a family bond between Pamier and Monigne?
He was thinking about these things, and opposite him, the "Saint" Franya and the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine were walking towards him.

"Greetings, Luo Xiu."

Soon, Franya came to Luo Xiu and nodded to him to express her greetings.

During the two days, Luo Xiu often saw Franya and had some communication with her.

Luo Xiu and Franya often discussed the experiences and progress of the Holy Expedition to the Abyss, the Holy See, several cardinals and Pope Lorendo, and gradually became familiar with each other.

"Greetings, Her Majesty Franya."

Luo Xiu performed the sacrament to Franya, then he looked to Franya's side, to the side of the "Holy Sword" Monine, and greeted her as well:

"Greetings to you as well, Master Monigne."

"Yeah." Monine nodded slightly.

She had a smile on her face and was obviously in a good mood.

And her gaze immediately fell behind Luo Xiu.

Monigne also saw Pamier, and a slight surprise immediately appeared on her face, obviously she had recognized her.

They are indeed from the same family, the same "Skadia".

Luo Xiu thought to himself.

He recalled his past and present life's knowledge of the "Sword of the Most Holy" Monine Scardia, and he was not completely ignorant of the Scardia family.

There are many people in the empire with the surname "Skadia", and not all of them are derived from the "Skadia" of Monine.

The "Scadija Family" of Monigne is a family that truly worships "Glory" and has an ancient heritage. It has indeed produced many "Knights Templar" who have assumed holy duties in the "Holy Court".

That is actually a major inherited family of the "Knights Templar".

The branch of Monine Scardia is the main branch of the Scardia family. Monine is the head of the Scardia family. She is also the strongest person in the family and the highest person in the "Holy Court".

At that time, it was thought that Pamiers was not a member of the Scardian branch of Monigne, but now it seems that Pamiers' family should belong to a branch of the Scardian family, a branch that split from the main branch, migrated to Songyuan Territory, settled there, and developed.

But I didn't expect that Monigne actually knew Pamier.

"Greetings, Master Monigne."

Pamier took a step forward and saluted respectfully to Monigne, the "Sword of the Most Holy".

There was a gleam of admiration and respect in Pamier's eyes. She had been exposed to the deeds of Monigne, the head of the Scardia family of this generation and the "Sword of the Holy" who was second only to the Templar Grand Master Demosthenes in the "Holy Court".

Although Pamier was born in a branch of the Scardia family and only met the head of the Scardia family, Monine Scardia, when she was very young and accompanied her father, Palad Scardia, a "Glorious Knight" under Archbishop Sid, to the Scardia main house in the imperial capital, Pamier had already remembered her firmly.

Not long after that, Pallad was martyred in an action to judge heretics.

The Scadian branch of Songyuanling gradually dispersed and eventually declined, and Pamier did inherit his father's legacy, such as the "epic" Paladin's armor and sword, but that was almost all Pamier inherited from his father.

For example, after Pamier, he only stayed in the church in Sina and received training and instruction from Bishop Fabien, and never had any contact with other branches of the Scardia family.

"Yeah." Monine nodded slightly in response.

He looked at Pamier with a certain scrutiny in his eyes. Luo Xiu could sense that Monigne seemed to nod slightly.

But regarding the head of the "Skadia" family and the younger generation of the family, they did not say much about family matters in such occasions.

Monigne and Pamier's eyes shifted away, then looked at Luo Xiu and said:
"We did find some very valuable findings during this investigation of 'Scars'."

She pointed to the [Slate] that Franya was holding.

"Because the 'scar' here is deep enough and close enough to the initial point where the abyss beasts and demons broke through the Great Seal, we can finally measure and outline the veins of their spirituality flowing along the earth veins."

"As long as we survey enough of these 'veins', we will be able to predict where the next 'scar' will appear!"
