It has been a troubled time for the Abyss Temple in recent years. Four Abyss Apostles died, and there were insiders inside the temple who provided intelligence to outsiders. Mutual suspicion prevented the three apostles from being as close as before. There was strife within the temple, and a large number of Abyss mages were sent away.

Imprisoned or put to death.

In the war against the Empire, the Temple of the Abyss, which was hampered by internal problems, failed to play its due role. The defeat on the battlefield made the Celtic Duke no longer rely on the Temple of the Abyss as much as before.

Providing Bloodsworn Barbarians to the Barbarian Legion is one of the places where the Abyss Temple can still reflect its own value.

Who would have thought that storm barbarians would appear at this time.

If the Celtic Duke obtains this barbarian transformation technology, the Temple of the Abyss will lose an important bargaining chip in negotiating terms with the Celtic Duke.

Therefore, the Temple of the Abyss must exclusively possess the Storm Barbarian transformation technology.

Facing the still aggressive Victor, Luke replied: "Apostle Victor, if the Temple of the Abyss exclusively possesses the Storm Barbarian technology, you will definitely kill me. Even if you don't kill me now, after tomorrow's game, you will

Do this.

But selling this technology to the Celtic Duke is different. Storm barbarians need to be selected from barbarians, and Tedga Hills is the place where barbarians are most concentrated.

Technical leakage will not cause much loss to the Duke. After I complete the transaction, I can leave Tedega Hills safely."

Being rejected without mercy again, Victor's red eyes burst out with murderous intent.

"Do you think that the Temple of the Abyss will let you go after you leave Tedga Hills? Give me the Storm Barbarian transformation technology and promise not to leak it to anyone. I guarantee in the name of the First Apostle that the Temple will never

Threaten your safety."

Luke shook his head and smiled: "If this sentence is said to someone who does not understand the Temple of the Abyss, he may believe the promise of the first apostle. But I was invited by Priest Egbert to join the temple to receive the power given by the arrival of the Abyss.

, now we have a certain understanding of the situation inside the temple.

Even Priest Egbert has been worried about his own safety for a while, how can you guarantee my safety?"

Victor looked at Priest Egbert standing aside.

Egbert immediately bent down and answered in a very humble manner: "Sir Apostle, I owe Mr. Luke a large sum of money because of the Nirvana Egg, so I want to take him to welcome the coming of the abyss as compensation.

I asked you for permission on this matter and received your permission."

Victor didn't say anything to Egbert, but instead said to Luke in a gentle tone: "The Temple of the Abyss has always been open to the outside world, and we welcome anyone to join and embrace the Abyss.

When we welcome the coming of the abyss together, we will all be servants of the abyss.

If the Celtic Duke asks you for Storm Barbarian transformation technology tomorrow, can you postpone the transaction for two days?"

Luke asked, "Why?"

Apostle Victor replied: "The abyss is very close to us, and its arrival will be in the next two days. I believe that after you embrace the abyss and accept the power given by the abyss, you will definitely stand firmly on the side of the temple.

Because we are all servants of God and share the same faith."

The cracks in the abyss are finally being opened by them.

Luke pretended to think about it and said: "Well, anyway, this deal cannot be decided in a day or two. I have always had respect for the Abyss. Every time I enter the Temple of the Abyss, I can feel that I have surpassed it.

A growing sense of admiration.

Its power exceeds our understanding of the upper limit of its power. I believe that its arrival will definitely make me far beyond my current self."

Luke's words immediately eased the very tense atmosphere in the room. Everyone was a believer in the Abyss. Even though Luke's initial goal was just to gain power, Victor, who had a deeper understanding of the Abyss, knew that once he accepted the Abyss, he would become firm.

Unwavering faith.

Let’s talk about the storm barbarian transformation technology after the abyss comes.

You will definitely get a satisfactory answer at that time.

So Victor used the storm barbarian transformation technology as a guide and began to discuss magic with Luke. In just a few words, Victor discovered that Luke's knowledge base and depth of understanding of magic far exceeded his expectations.

.

Then Victor asked Luke many other academic questions, and Luke was able to answer them, and he had very unique insights. Not only did he learn a lot of things, but he also learned them very well. Even when talking about new steam machinery technology,

Victor was a little scared. The current situation of the Tedga Hills made it difficult for him to access the most advanced steam technology.

In order not to cause embarrassment in the academic field of steam machinery, Apostle Victor shifted the discussion to the secret art that he was best at. As a result, Luke was able to have an almost equal discussion with him.

genius!

Victor could only use this word to describe the young man in front of him.

And he is not a professional academic scholar.

He is an adventurer, and all knowledge is learned in his spare time. If he no longer takes risks, but spends more time studying and doing research, what achievements can he achieve?

Fortunately, I didn't have the urge to kill him just now.

Fortunately, he was waiting for the abyss to come.

As long as he accepts the abyss, he will definitely dedicate his all to the abyss.

Apostle Victor's attitude towards Luke is changing rapidly.

After the Abyss Temple went through several major purges, the loss of personnel was extremely serious. Moreover, he and the other two apostles became more and more suspicious of each other. If it hadn't been for the coming of the Abyss, which made everyone stop the criticism tacitly, there would be no contradiction.

What will happen if no one gives in?

One of the other two apostles must have colluded with Qingkong. He asked Qingkong to steal the Book of Disaster and kill the other apostles of the abyss, hoping to exclusively enjoy the divine grace of the abyss!

I will never let them succeed!

This coming of the Abyss is a division of the Abyss Temple, and all the Abyss mages will take sides. Whoever has more people, who has stronger people, will have a chance to win in the end!

Luke was a gift from the abyss.

"I want to promote you as a priest of the Temple of the Abyss..."

During the academic discussion, Victor suddenly said this to Luke. But before Luke could answer, Egbert objected: "Apostle Victor, Luke is still just an Abyssal."

Mage reserve. Promoting him to a priest is too many levels."

Victor was in a very good mood now and did not care about Egbert's transgression. He looked at Luke with a look of talent-loving in his eyes: "The Temple of the Abyss has never looked at the rules of seniority promotion. Talent is what I value."

Whose only standard?

No matter what misunderstandings the outside world has about the temple, in my eyes, the temple is a research institution. Taboos in the world are no longer taboos here. We can study whatever we want to study, and we can use whatever materials we want.

Your talent and wisdom are enough to serve as a priest in the temple. Even...I can make you an apostle of the Temple of the Abyss."

Hearing that Victor was tempting Luke with the idea of ​​becoming an apostle, Egbert became extremely anxious.

This time the abyss descends, there are only four apostles.

Victor grabbed two spots by virtue of being the first apostle. One was reserved for Egbert, and the second was given to another priest who was loyal to Victor.

If Victor gave Luke the position of apostle, Egbert would have a half chance of being removed.

But no matter how worried Egbert was, he didn't dare to speak anymore, because he might really die.

One can only hope Luke refuses.

Victor waited for Luke's answer.

Luke said: "But I like adventure and am not prepared to stay in the temple."

Victor believed that the influence of the Abyss would change Luke's current thinking, so he said: "You can do whatever you want. The Temple of the Abyss is a free place."

This time Luke thought about it seriously.

The meeting with Victor was as he expected. He just wanted to use the storm barbarian transformation technology to sow discord between the Abyss Temple and the Celtic Duke. He really didn't expect that Victor would promote himself as a priest and even become an apostle of the abyss.

one.

But since we are preparing to destroy the coming of the abyss, of course the higher the status in the temple of the abyss, the better.

Only when you have power can you do things better.

So Luke agreed: "I never refuse a false position that does not require responsibility. It may come into play one day. I also serve as the inspector general of the city militia Wolf Brigade in Holy Mountain. If it does not affect me

During the adventure, I can serve as the priest of the Abyss Temple.

It’s not impossible to be an apostle of the abyss.”

Victor was very happy when Luke agreed. Without knowing which apostle was the traitor, he regarded both apostles as threats.

The other two apostles must have thought so too.

Since neither of them can be trusted, it is better to get rid of them both. One of them must be true.

The situation that Apostle Victor is most afraid of now is that the other two apostles establish a temporary alliance and join forces to deal with the strongest him.

The probability of this possibility is very high.

After getting rid of the strongest self, the two of them can give it a try!

Therefore, Victor seems to be the strongest, but he is also the weakest. He is eager to expand his power and is a bit hungry.

Victor had no doubts about Luke's identity.

After all, before this meeting, he himself didn't know that he would invite Luke to become a priest of the Temple of the Abyss, and then become an apostle of the Abyss.

It's impossible for anyone to plan ahead.

Luke agreed to serve as a priest in the temple, and Victor immediately asked Egbert to take Luke and go through the relevant procedures with his letter of appointment.

And let Egbert lead Luke around the interior of the temple to let everyone know that the new priest was appointed by the first apostle and that he was a member of the first apostle.

At this time, Egbert felt 10,000 regrets. If he had known that this would happen, he would have sold everything to get the 50 million Reichsmarks together.

Now the position of the apostle has become a matter of suspense. This deal is such a loss!

However, Egbert did not dare to complain. He could see Apostle Victor's love for Luke. He had just listened to their discussion and had to admit that this adventurer had real knowledge.

Besides, he is so young and his main occupation is still adventure.

The achievements that such a genius can make at will may be a level that others cannot reach in a lifetime of hard work.

I can only be jealous, there is no other way.

Egbert took Luke to go through the procedures for promotion to priest with a special appointment letter written by the first apostle Victor.

After receiving a set of sacrificial clothes and certificates, Luke also had a high-end room inside the temple.

Then Egbert took Luke to visit the Temple of the Abyss, telling him the names and functions of each department in the temple. At the same time, he reminded Luke who belonged to the first apostle and who belonged to the other two apostles.

"As a priest, you can apply to the temple for funds, personnel, equipment, and laboratories to conduct your own special research.

Here, you don’t need to consider outside taboos, any experiment is allowed. This is also the main reason why I came to Tedga Hills to join the temple. All ethics and morals are under the truth. This is what we are like.

A holy place for scholars..."

As Egbert excitedly narrated to Luke, he waved his hands and told how he had dissected a living pregnant woman and replaced the baby in her belly with a sterile egg he had cultivated.

He even described in detail the growth process of the twin egg in the pregnant woman's belly. It hatched into a larvae that fed on the pregnant woman's flesh and blood, used the pregnant woman's skin as a cocoon, and finally broke out of the cocoon and turned into a beautiful larvae with heads on the front and back.

ripper butterfly.

monster!

The people who join the Abyss Temple, except for a few who are curiosity hunters, are mostly monsters with twisted minds.

Luke listened to Egbert's proud description of his experiments, and looked at the abyss mages who had turned into all kinds of weird and ugly things.

Is their abyssal state a reflection of their inner being? They have given up on being human from the bottom of their hearts, and their bodies are no longer human.

This was no longer the Abyss Temple of the game copy, which gave Luke more thoughts.

When he reached a passage tightly guarded by an abyssal mage, Egbert stopped narrating his experiment and said to Luke: "This is the prison of the temple, and the abyssal mages who betrayed the temple are all imprisoned in it.

Of course, not all of them are traitors, most of them are unlucky ones."

At this moment, Luke remembered the inside story of his own development...the wizard.

He was imprisoned inside.

Although the wizard has given away the map of where he is being held, it is still a bit difficult to rescue him safely.

And Victor said that the abyss will come within these two days. The wizard must be rescued before the abyss comes, and the abyssal weapon must be destroyed. Only the wizard knows the location of the abyssal weapon.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, in order to rescue the wizard accurately.

Luke felt it was necessary to personally visit the location and determine the location of the wizard and the layout of the prison.

Luke stopped at the door of the prison and asked Egbert: "Can I go in and have a look?"

Egbert originally wanted to take Luke directly across the prison, but Luke unexpectedly asked to go inside the prison to take a look.
Chapter completed!
