Chapter 174 New Template Specialty: Lord of the Evil Serpent!

After casting the skill "Colorful Offspring" of the epic staff "Poisonous Bite", Luo Xiu closed the door, isolating the wailing of the "Venomous Snake" behind the door.

As the wailing of the "Venomous Snake" gradually died down, Luo Xiu also walked out of the mansion and came to the dilapidated courtyard of the manor.

This was originally the manor of the wealthy merchant Guilford. No one has taken care of it for a long time, and it will no longer attract too much attention in the future... Luo Xiu thought.

But out of caution, he still released the "Thunder of Judgment", destroying all traces of the battlefield, the bodies of the "Black Fangs", and the "Silver Sundial Compass" held by the enemy, as well as the entire manor.

After completing all this, Luo Xiu really left with peace of mind, and his figure disappeared at the end of Guilford Lane.

...

Outside Songyuan City.

The dark hidden camp.

"Executioner" Koros, he was standing in front of an ancient long table with strange hanging lamps, staring at four of them intently.

Suddenly, the blue flames in the four hanging lamps jumped suddenly, and one of them became dim in an instant, and then went out.

"The gargoyle... is dead." Koros murmured.

Koros's eyes suddenly became deep. He raised his arm and rubbed his chin with a playful expression.

Under his gaze, the dim flames in the second and third hanging lamps began to sway violently.

The next moment, the two balls of fire exploded with a "pop" sound, and then they were completely extinguished, and the lamps returned to a dark and dead silence.

"'Mist Demon' and 'Razor'... they are dead too."

Koros's eyes became deeper, his shoulders slightly raised, and the invisible spiritual surge flowed out from the outline of his body.

His sight fell on the last hanging lamp.

It was the hanging lamp of "Viper".

Koros stared at it for a long time, his eyes carrying a certain hope, as well as the sharpness and ferocity of a vulture.

Suddenly, the flame in the "Viper" hanging lamp shook violently, and the dark blue light flickered, appearing to be shaky.

As expected, the next moment, Koros saw that the flame sealed in the lamp symbolizing the "Viper" soon extinguished all the light and entered a dead silence.

"..." Koros's expression became complicated, and his face gradually revealed a hideous look.

He stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said in a deep voice to the quiet place behind him:

"Is the prophet... awake?"

"..."

"No...no."

The low and hoarse voice responded to him, accompanied by layers of ripples in the air.

"...Wake him up." Koros ordered in a deep voice, "As long as he is still alive, do everything you can to wake him up."

"I want him to perform the third divination ceremony as soon as possible."

"Then, you...'Night Owl'. I want you to find the 'Guillotine'."

"It's time to send out the 'Fang Head'... Don't let me down."

...

...

After Luo Xiu killed the four Black Fangs, he did not return to the Wolf Hunting Tavern immediately.

He first went to an old restaurant, where he spent lavishly and had a feast. Finally, after putting the bill in the name of "Arbitrator" Randall, he left in a leisurely manner under the respectful and admiring eyes of the owner.

The double happiness of delicious food and free sex brought Luo Xiu double pleasure to his body and mind.

After that, Luo Xiu wandered around the streets, squares and parks of Songyuan City, half for leisure and half for buying some props and materials in the extraordinary field.

He did not plan to see blood in Songyuan City again within a single day. It was not until the evening that Luo Xiu confirmed that there were no suspicious enemies following him, and the faint smell of blood on his body had almost dissipated, and then he walked back to the Wolf Hunting Tavern.

…

Wolf Hunting Tavern.

This time, when Luo Xiu came to the door of the tavern, he finally did not see the scene of the burly former "Knight of the Throne" sitting in front of the door.

Luo Xiu then walked into the door, and as soon as he stepped into the tavern, he heard a series of loud shouts.

"My **, chariot! Kill his horse!"

An old but excited voice came from the depths of the tavern. The source of the voice was separated from Luo Xiu by a door curtain, but Luo Xiu knew very well what was happening inside.

That was the "Empire War Chess", the full name of which was "Nolan Empire Total War Simulation Military Chess", which was originally a chess prop used by the army to simulate war, but later evolved into a form similar to a sandbox board game, and gradually flowed into the desktop of every military or chess enthusiast in the empire.

"Oh! Brother Isaac! You can't do this... Long spear! Stop his chariot!"

--Snap! A light sound was the sound of the wooden chess hitting the table, and Isaac's voice came again, and he shouted with a trembling laugh:

"Haha! Bruyère! You've been fooled!"

"Cavalry! Break through his archer formation!"

--Snap! Another light sound, this time louder than the previous one, accompanied by the frustrated voice of "Bruyère":

"...Oh no! I actually neglected...You won, brother Isaac! Here, these are two gold coins for the bet, it's your turn, old Card!"

"..."

Listening to the constant voices coming from inside, Luo Xiu smiled and shook his head, and stopped listening to their next game of chess, and walked up to the second floor with light steps.

He came to the door of his room in the tavern, took out the key from his bracelet, and opened the door.

"Meow~" The lazy cat cry came into Luo Xiu's ears. Intis, in cat form, was still curled up on the windowsill, and she had not moved from the position in Luo Xiu's memory. She had not moved from the windowsill all morning.

"Intis, come here." Luo Xiu waved his hand and sat on the edge of the bed.

The white cat with two tails stretched its body, and then jumped lightly onto Luo Xiu's lap.

She was too familiar with it - every time her Lord greeted her like this, he probably stretched out his palm and stroked his cat for a while...

Although Intis still didn't understand the meaning of doing this, she always believed that the "Lord" must have his deep meaning in doing this, and she didn't resist the numbness when being stroked, and she even felt a little enjoyment.

As Intis expected, when the white cat with two tails curled up lazily on Luo Xiu's legs, Luo Xiu stretched out his hand and gently stroked her plush back.

At the same time, Luo Xiu opened the mailbox panel.

This time, Luo Xiu killed four Black Fangs of "Triple Fate". Their kill rewards were still lying quietly on the panel, waiting for Luo Xiu to claim.

Although the "supernatural rank" and "spiritual level" of these Black Fangs were lower than his own, Luo Xiu knew that these enemies of the "elite monster" level of the triple fate still had a certain probability of exploding some good things.

The last time he killed the Black Fang codenamed "Hyena", Luo Xiu's "luck" had reached an unprecedented 6 points. He was full of confidence in his luck, so he chose to draw a miracle.

As expected, no specialties were drawn. He only gained more than a thousand kill reward experience points, and nothing else.

But now it's different.

This time, Intis is right next to him! A righteous cat-stroking person, his luck will definitely not be bad!

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu was folding the two-tailed cat on his knees back and forth at the same time. When he felt the blessing in his heart, he clicked the settlement!

The first time, the reward was 2323 experience points, 1 free attribute bonus for killing, and 3 free attribute bonuses for "Glorious Judgment".

The second time, the reward was 2146 experience points, and it was still 4 free attribute bonuses in total, but no expertise appeared.

Calming down, Luo Xiu made the third settlement.

This time, he suddenly felt that the spirituality in his body began to jump up actively.

Delivery! A blue light appeared!

Luo Xiu got a new expertise! Expertise from the Black Fang "Mist Demon"!

——[Get the expertise "Hidden Mist (Rare)"]

[Hidden Mist (Rare): You are a people of the mist, an elusive mist walker. After being in a normal state of stillness for a certain period of time, your spiritual surge will naturally converge, and it will be difficult to be perceived and difficult to be detected by the "supernatural" means of the same level and below. 】

"It's a stealth expertise..." Luo Xiu thought.

He did lack some means of hiding and sneaking. Although the rare expertise from the "Mist Monster" was not very powerful, it also made up for some of Luo Xiu's missing functions.

There was still one last kill reward to be settled, which was the reward column page from the Black Fang "Viper".

Luo Xiu stared at the panel for a long time, and finally at a certain moment, he gave the "settlement" command.

In the next moment, Luo Xiu suddenly felt that his spirituality began to flow freely.

The light and shadow floated in front of him, and the kill reward of "Viper" quickly skipped the experience value and free attribute points. Then, a colorful stream of light like a kaleidoscope appeared, and new text content emerged.

——Template expertise! A brand new "rare" quality template expertise!

Luo Xiu's eyes lit up and began to carefully browse the above content.

——[Get the expertise "Lord of the Evil Snake (rare, special)"]!

[Lord of the Evil Snake (rare, special): You are recognized as the master of the "Evil Snake", and you can enslave its power. Your poison attribute damage increases by 15%, and the attacks you make will cause an additional 15% of the total amount of poison attribute damage; the duration of abnormal status such as "poison" and "venom" caused by you doubles, and can only be removed by corresponding higher-level purification spells and higher-quality antidotes. 】

[……]

"Hiss..."

A clear light flashed in Luo Xiu's eyes.

The moment he finished reading this template rare specialty "Lord of the Evil Serpent", Luo Xiu clearly realized that this specialty would improve him by more than just the "rare" quality.

The "special epic" level staff "Evil Poison Bite" that he currently uses as his main hand has the ability to convert "poison" attribute damage into real damage, and "Lord of the Evil Serpent" will undoubtedly once again amplify the effect of Evil Poison Bite, allowing Luo Xiu's output ability to get a considerable leap!

"I didn't expect... 'Black Fang' could produce such good stuff..."

Originally, it was to advance the progress of the hidden task [Filthy Wail], but I got two specialties, one of which was a powerful template specialty. These were unexpected gains and unexpected surprises!

Luo Xiu smiled, feeling happy and comfortable.

...

The next day, early morning.

After a night's rest, Luo Xiu woke up naturally after fully recovering the energy consumed by the battle the day before.

This was the third morning he had spent since arriving in Songyuan City.

According to the original plan, he would go to the branch of "Black Sword Mansion" in Songyuan City to participate in their antique auction.

So far, everything has been going according to plan and in an orderly manner. After he finishes the auction and gets rid of the troublesome Black Fang subordinates of "Executioner" Koros, he will return to Sina City from Songyuan City in triumph.

At that time, he will tell Priest Leonard and Bishop Fabion the truth that he has been promoted to the fourth-level destiny "Holy Judge"... Luo Xiu can't wait to see what kind of surprised expressions will appear on the faces of the old priest and the old bishop.

Getting up from the bed, glancing at Intis who was still taking a nap on the windowsill, Luo Xiu grabbed the clean robe on the support frame and put it on, then walked out of the room with light steps and went to the bathroom on the second floor of the tavern.

After quickly finishing washing, Luo Xiu went to the tavern restaurant and enjoyed the rough but hearty "Isaac's special breakfast".

Then, Luo Xiu returned to the room and woke up Intis who was still in a daze.

...

When leaving the "Wolf Hunting Tavern", Luo Xiu happened to meet Isaac.

The owner of the tavern, who had just returned from outside the tavern, held the exquisite wooden box of "Empire Chess" in his left hand and a basket full of empty bottles in his right hand.

When Isaac saw Luo Xiu, he frowned slightly.

"Be careful." Isaac said in a deep voice, as a greeting.

Then, Isaac walked into the deep room without saying anything more.

...

Songyuan City, Gawain Street.

This is the most prosperous block in Songyuan City, second only to Wind Bell Main Street and Golden Street.

And the name of this block comes from the name of Lord Gawain Gawain, the eldest son of the lord "Vezia Bakar", the Marquis.

All the residents of Songyuan City know that "Gawain Gawain" is the pride of Marquis Vizia. He is now in his early thirties, but he is already a "Knight of the Throne" with the fifth level of the [Supreme] destiny. He has truly entered the realm of "Saints" and has a promising future.

However, few people know that this [Supreme] noble knight is actually the biggest behind-the-scenes supporter of the "Black Sword Mansion" in Songyuan City.

Luo Xiu and Intis entered Gawain Street, and with Randall's token, they passed through one blockade after another of the guards, entered a semi-military restricted area, and came to a magnificent building with black and mysterious styles as the main style.

That was the main building of the "Black Sword Mansion" branch in Songyuan City. Who would have thought that the specific location of the "Black Sword Mansion" in Songyuan City was actually in a military restricted area under the control of Lord Gawain!

The most dangerous place is indeed the safest place... Luo Xiu thought so, so he put on the copper mask given by Mir, and took Intis into the black mysterious building.

…
