It's been an eventful time for the Abyss Temple in recent years. Four Abyss Apostles died, and there was an inside inside the temple to provide information to outsiders. Mutual suspicion made it impossible for the three apostles to be as close as before, and the temple was overwhelmed, and a large number of abyssal mages were sent to prison or executed.

In the war against the Empire, the Abyss Temple, which was hampered by internal problems, did not play its due role. The defeat on the battlefield made the Duke of Celtic no longer rely on the Abyss Temple as before.

Providing the Barbarian Legion with the Blood Oath Barbarian is one of the places where the Abyssal Temple can still manifest its own value.

Who would have thought that at this time there would be a storm barbarian.

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

Therefore, the Abyss Temple must have exclusive access to the Storm Barbarian Transformation technology.

Luke faced Victor, who was still aggressive, and replied, "Apostle Victor, if the Abyss Temple had exclusive Storm Barbarian technology, you would definitely kill me. Even if you don't kill now, you'll do it after tomorrow's game.

But selling this technology to the Duke of Celtic is different, the storm barbarians need to pick from the barbarians, and the Tedgar Hills are where the barbarians have the highest concentration.

The technology leak won't cause much damage to Lord Duke, and I can safely leave the Tedgar Hills after I complete the transaction. ”

Rejected again, Victor's red eyes burst with murderous aura.

"Do you think that if you leave the Tedgar Hills, the Abyss Temple will let you go? Give me the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technique and promise not to leak it to anyone, and I promise in my name as 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 doesn't know about the Abyss Temple, he may believe the promise of the First Apostle." However, I was invited by Egbert to join the temple and receive the power of the abyss, and now I have some knowledge of the inner life of the temple.

Even Egbert Sacrifice has been worried about his safety for a while, how can you guarantee my safety? ”

Victor looked at Egbert Priest, who was standing aside.

Egbert immediately bent down and replied in a very humble manner, "Lord Apostle, I owe Mr. Luke a great sum of money because of the Nirvana Egg, so I thought of taking him to the abyss as compensation. I have consulted you on this matter, and I have your permission. ”

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

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

If the Duke of Celts asks you for the Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology tomorrow, can you delay this deal for two days? ”

Luke asked, "Why?" ”

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

Because we are all servants of God and share a common faith. ”

The abyssal rift was finally about to be opened by them.

Luke pretended to think about it and said, "Well, anyway, this deal is not something that can be decided in a day or two. I've always had a reverence for the Abyss, and every time I enter the Abyss Temple, I get a growing sense of adoration for it.

It's more powerful than we know the limits of what we can do. I believe that this time it will definitely make me far beyond my current self. ”

Luke's words eased the tension in the room immediately. Everyone is a believer in the Abyss, and even if Luke's goal is to gain power at first, Victor, who knows more about the Abyss, knows that once he accepts the Abyss, he will develop an unwavering faith.

Storm Barbarian Transformation Technology, let's wait for the abyss to fall.

At that time, you will definitely get a satisfactory answer.

Victor then uses the Storm Barbarian's transformation technology as a guide and begins to discuss magic with Luke. In just a few words, Victor discovered that Luke's knowledge and understanding of magic far exceeded his expectations.

Victor then asked Luke a lot of other academic questions, and Luke was able to answer them and had a very unique insight. Not only does he learn miscellaneous, but he also learns well. Even when talking about new steam machinery technology, Victor was a little apprehensive, and the current situation of the Tedgar Hills made it difficult for him to get access to the current state-of-the-art steam technology.

In order not to get into trouble with the steam mechanics, the Apostle Victor shifted the discussion to his best secret art, and as a result, Luke was able to have an almost equal discussion with him.

Talented!

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

And he's not a professional academic.

He is an adventurer, and all his knowledge is learned in the time he has not yet taken on adventures. What would he have achieved if he had stopped taking risks and had spent more time studying and doing research?

Fortunately, there was no impulse to kill him just now.

Thankfully, he was waiting for the abyss to come.

As long as he accepts abyssalization, he will inevitably give his all to the abyss.

The attitude of the Apostle Victor towards Luke was rapidly changing.

After the Abyss Temple underwent several major purges, the loss of personnel was extremely serious. And he and the other two apostles are more and more suspicious of each other, if it weren't for the fact that this abyss came and everyone tacitly stopped attacking, I really don't know what the contradiction would intensify into when no one is willing to give in.

Of the other two apostles, there must have been one who colluded with Clear Sky. He had Clear Sky snatch the Book of Calamity and kill the other Abyss Apostles, wanting to enjoy the Abyss's divine grace for himself!

I'm not going to let them get away with it!

This Abyssal Descending is a division of the Abyss Temple, and all Abyss Mages will take a side. Whoever has more people and who is strong will have a chance to win in the end!

Luke was a gift from the abyss.

"I want to elevate you to the sacrificial ...... of the Abyss Temple"

During the academic discussion, Victor suddenly said this to Luke. But without waiting for Luke to answer, Egbert preemptively objected, "Lord Victor the Apostle, Luke is only a reserve of an abyss mage now. To promote him to a sacrifice, there are too many ranks. ”

Victor was in a very good mood now, he didn't care about Egbert's arrogance, he looked at Luke, and his eyes were full of love for talent: "The Abyss Temple has never looked at the rules of seniority promotion, and talent is the only criterion for me to reuse."

Whatever misconceptions the temple may have, in my eyes, the temple is a research institution. The taboos in the world are no longer taboos here, we can study whatever we want, and we can use whatever materials we want.

You are gifted and wise enough to perform the duties of sacrifice in the temple. Even...... I can make you an apostle to the Temple of the Abyss. ”

Hearing that Victor actually tempted Luke by becoming an apostle, Egbert was extremely agitated.

There are only four apostles for this abyssal coming.

Victor grabbed two places by virtue of being the First Apostle. One was given to Egbert, and the second to another sacrifice loyal to Victor.

If Victor gives Luke the apostle spot, Egbert has half a chance of being brushed down.

But no matter how anxious Egbert was, he did not dare to speak again, because he might really die.

One can only hope that Luke refuses.

Victor waited for Luke's answer.

Luke said, "But I like adventure, and I'm not going to stay in the temple. ”

Believing that the influence of the Abyss would change Luke's mind, Victor said, "Do whatever you want." The Temple of the Abyss is a place of freedom. ”

This time Luke thought it through.

The meeting with Victor was expected by him, he just wanted to use the storm barbarian transformation technology to provoke the relationship between the Abyss Temple and the Duke of Celtic, he really didn't expect that Victor would actually elevate himself to a sacrifice, and even become one of the Abyss Apostles.

However, since it is preparing to destroy the Abyss Descending, of course, the higher the status in the Abyss Temple, the better.

It's easy to do things when you have power.

So Luke agreed: "I never refuse a false position that does not require responsibility, it may one day be useful, and I am also the inspector general of the Blue Wolf Brigade of the city militia in the Holy Mountain." If it doesn't interfere with my adventures, I can serve as a sacrifice for the Abyss Temple.

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

Seeing that Luke agreed, Victor was very happy. Without knowing which of the apostles was the inner ghost, he saw both apostles as a threat.

The other two apostles must have thought the same way.

Since neither of them can be trusted, it is better to get rid of both, and one of them is always true.

Now the situation that the Apostle of Victor fears the most is that the other two Apostles form a temporary alliance and join forces to deal with the strongest self.

The odds are very high.

Get rid of the strongest self, and the two of them can give it a go!

So Victor seems to be the strongest, but also the weakest. He was anxious to expand his strength, and he was a little hungry.

Victor has 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 Abyss Temple, and then become an Abyss Apostle.

It is impossible for someone to lay out in advance.

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

And let Egbert lead Luke around the temple so that everyone would know that the new sacrifice was appointed by the First Apostle, and that he was the first apostle's person.

At this time, Egbert's heart was 10,000 regrets, he knew that this kind of thing would happen, and he would have to gather the 50 million Reichsmarks even if he was smashing the pot and selling iron.

Now the apostle position has become a suspense, and the deal is too much of a loss!

However, Egbert did not dare to complain, he could see that the Apostle Victor loved Luke. I was just listening to their discussion, and I have to admit that this adventurer has real knowledge.

Besides, he is so young, and his main business is still adventurous.

Such a random achievement of genius may be a height that others cannot reach in their lifetime.

There is no other way but jealousy.

Egbert took the special appointment letter written by the First Apostle Victor himself, and took Luke to go through the formalities of promotion to the sacrifice.

After receiving a set of sacrificial clothes and documents, Luke also had a set of high-class rooms inside the temple.

Egbert then takes Luke on a tour of the Abyssal Temple, telling him about the names and functions of the temple's various departments. Also remind Luke who was the first apostle and who was the other two apostles.

"As a sacrifice, you can apply to the temple for funding, personnel, equipment, and laboratories to conduct your own specialized research.

Here, you don't need to think about the outside taboos, any experimentation is allowed. This is the main reason why I came to the Tedgar Hills to join the temple, all ethics and morality are under the truth, and this is the holy place for scholars like us......"

Egbert recounted to Luke with an excited expression, waving his hand about how he had dismantled a living pregnant woman and replaced the baby in her womb with his own raised eggs.

He even described in great detail the growth of the eggs in the womb of a pregnant woman, which hatched into a larva to feed on the flesh and blood of the pregnant woman, and used the skin of the pregnant woman as a cocoon, and finally broke out of the cocoon to become a beautiful disembowelment butterfly with a head on the front and back.

Monster!

Most of the people who joined the Abyss Temple, except for a few who were curiosity hunters, were psychologically twisted monsters.

Luke listened to Egbert smugly talk about his experiments, looking at the abyssal mages who had turned into all sorts of weird and ugly things.

Is their abyssal appearance the manifestation of their hearts? They have given up being human beings in their hearts, and their bodies are no longer human.

This is no longer the abyssal temple of the game copy, which makes Luke think more.

When he came to a passage where the Abyss Mage was tightly guarded, Egbert stopped his experiment and said to Luke, "This is the prison of the Temple, and all the Abyss Mages who have betrayed the Temple are imprisoned.

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

Luke then remembered the inside line of his own development...... Sorcerer.

He was kept inside.

Although the wizard had already sent out a map of his detention location, it was still a bit difficult to rescue him safely.

And Victor said that the abyss will come in these two days. The rescue of the wizard must be completed before the abyss descends, and the abyssal weapon must be destroyed, the location of which is known only to the wizard.

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

Luke felt the need to step on the spot himself to determine the location of the wizard and the arrangement of the inside of the cell.

Luke stopped at the door of the cell and asked Egbert, "Can I go in and have a look?" ”

Egbert wanted to take Luke directly over the prison, but he didn't expect Luke to offer to go inside the prison to take a look.

He thought for a moment and said, "Yes! Check it out! ”
