Chapter 202 King Isol's Gift (5k4)

"In the seventy-sixth year of the God's Fall...the Kingdom of Isol was destroyed by disaster..."

Luo Xiu subconsciously murmured the contents of the panel, and many doubts began to surge in his heart.

God's Fall...the end of the disaster? These are words that Luo Xiu had never heard in his previous life.

It turns out that the Age of Gods had this chronological system..."Death of Gods"...did any pillar gods or gods fall? And He is the "god" believed in by the Kingdom of Isol... Luo Xiu thought divergently, while his eyes continued to wander over the panel, browsing the next content.

[I am King Isol, Long En Isol. I have been in power for eighty-three years. My legacy is inscribed on this monument. 】

["Authority" has fallen, and "authority" has disappeared; "disaster" has arrived, and "shadows" have followed it. 】

[The royal family has declined, all surnames have perished; the knights have lost their news, and the restoration of the country is far away. 】

[When I enter the torrent of spirituality, I leave nothing behind in my kingdom; I hide in the sand and dust of time, only to shatter the royal court. 】

[The diviner predicted for me that those who hold my crown will eventually return to this place. 】

【My knight! By the time I see this monument, I will be gone. 】

["King of Swords" Mordred, "War Riding" Greville, "Flame Riding" Miklos, "Mystical Riding" Arpad...]

【My knight! Don't mourn for me, you are the fire. 】

【And my crown is the key to the restoration of the country. 】

【……】

The inscription ends here, but Luo Xiu also has a general understanding of the "Kingdom of Isol", an ancient country in the age of gods, and the situation it faced at that time.

The gods they believed in, the "authoritative" gods, have long since fallen, and the "disasters" - the monsters of the [Abyss] have also destroyed most of their territory and "devoured" most of their children. civil.

Until the abyss tribe defeated the Kingdom of Isol until only this "royal court" was left, King Isol used a secret method to plunge into the "spiritual torrent".

This may be some kind of "replacement"... Luo Xiu guessed at the principle of this secret method.

King Isol finally "returned to the sea of ​​spirituality", and the spirituality he released separated the entire royal court from the real world and opened up a new "secret realm".

This is what King Isol said in the inscription, "Hidden in the sand of time" means... The "Kingdom of Isol" has long been turned into sand in the real world, but in the cracks of time, it has become a "secret realm". Preservation of form, in a sense, is also a continuation of civilization.

Looking at it this way, maybe King Isol - "Lon Isol" is the strongest transcendent in the entire Kingdom of Isol?

Being able to take the initiative to return to the "spiritual torrent" is like "cutting off the meridians and returning the true energy to heaven" in the fairy novels of the previous life... If it were not a powerful transcendent, it would really not be possible to do such a thing... Luo Xiu went deeper thinking.

The key to this secret realm of "The Forgotten Court of Isol" is King Isol's crown.

From the inscription, Luo Xiu could roughly deduce that King Isol should have divided his crown into four parts and given them to his four knights who protected the country respectively.

After that, King Isol "exiled" them again, but this may be just a pretense that King Isol wanted them to survive as fire.

Under the circumstances at that time, the Kingdom of Isol was gradually unable to recover in the face of the "Shadow of Disaster", and the fear of national destruction must have shrouded the heads of all Isol people.

If "exile" is not used as an excuse to allow the knights who serve as "Guardian" to leave the kingdom willingly, they will just end up martyring their country on the battlefield like all the Isolites, thus dashing their last hope. .

But Luo Xiu didn't know the specific situation. He only knew that the four "Guardian Knights" also met their death in the end.

Over a long period of time, "King Isol"'s last order has become the knights' biggest obsession.

During their "wandering" career outside, except for Mordred, the knights all experienced death, and then became undead due to "obsession", and finally sublimated into guardian spirits... But until the end, the knights still will "Isol" is regarded as their final destination of souls.

What those knights experienced in the long and lonely journey that followed were unique and evocative stories. But everything has been settled so far. Although King Isol's "divine" predicted the return of the "Crown", he failed to predict the outcome of the knights.

As for the "Crown Holder" who finally returned... Luo Xiu glanced at the content on the inscription and silently took out the four crown fragments from the bracelet.

After closing the panel, Luo Xiu walked slowly to the stone platform and placed the four crown fragments into the grooves on the table.

--bass! Miso miso miso......

A high-pitched sound, like the friction and trembling of iron pieces, came from the stone platform.

Immediately afterwards, the statue of King Isol also changed simultaneously.

The statue's eyes suddenly emitted a light red light, and the exquisite patterns on his crown and robes also appeared with mottled light.

Luo Xiu felt that the gentle and deep spiritual surge was slowly radiating outward from the statue in front of him. These spirits condensed into threads, half of which converged on the scepter in the hand of the statue of King Isol, and the other half converged on the body of Luo Xiu as the "new master of the Forgotten Royal Court".

These spirits that poured into Luo Xiu's body were just pure energy states. They were originally supposed to be a legacy left by King Isol to his knights.

Then, a new content prompt popped up on Luo Xiu's panel.

["King Isol's Legacy" has been opened]

[Gifts received: Experience +130,000, All Attributes +12, Free Attribute Points +33]

[Gifts received: King of Isol (Epic)]

[King of Isol (Epic): You have been recognized by King Isol and become the new owner of the "Isol Lost Court". ]

[Slots received: "Level I Authority" skill slot +1]

[……]

The next moment, Luo Xiu saw that at the tip of the "scepter" in the hands of the King Isol statue, circles of crimson, ripple-like spiritual waves suddenly burst out.

The spiritual waves radiated outward in a circular shape and reverberated in the air of the entire Lost Court.

Gradually, the aura of the entire Lost Court also changed synchronously.

The originally dead and lifeless Lost Court suddenly had the reaction of other "life".

On the empty front yard, lush green trees were slowly "growing" along the avenue; and in the gardens of different sizes on both sides, the flower beds were no longer withered yellow leaves and soil, but tender new buds and plump buds.

The originally windless space began to blow with a refreshing breeze, and a few melodious chirping sounds were heard from places beyond the sight.

"The Lost Royal Court of Isol" is alive, and the remaining spirituality of King Isol has been "released" in a gentle way and began to nourish this long-lost secret space.

Breathing the fresh air filled with the breath of "spirituality", Luo Xiu felt a sense of physical and mental comfort.

At the same time, new knowledge was "transmitted" into his mind, which was an "ancient inheritance" from King Isol, as well as the spatial structure and specific layout of this lost royal court.

[Obtain the skill "Isol · Time Lock (Ancient Heritage, Level I Authority, lv.5)"]

[Isol · Time Lock (Ancient Heritage, Level I Authority, lv.5): The authority of "authority" mastered and inherited by successive Isol kings. Consume mana to block the passage of time in a certain space (up to 5s). During the duration of the blockade, the space cannot be affected by any external factors. (This authority can only be used once every 24 hours)]

[……]

"It's authority...!"

Luo Xiu was shocked, and his joy could not stop surging.

The gift from King Isol was much richer than he had imagined. It was an unexpected gain to be able to get an ancient inheritance skill of "Level I Authority" here.

With this skill, Luo Xiu has a "field" that can absolutely control the enemy to death or protect himself from any harm! Luo Xiu had already imagined the scene of the enemy being "locked" when using a big move, or the teammates being protected by "locking time" when their lives were in danger.

"Lock of Sequence Time", this is a magical skill for Luo Xiu now! It is a genuine magical skill that deserves the name of "authority"! Even compared to many other types of "authority" skills, it is much more practical.

Luo Xiu secretly thought about this, and he closed the panel at the same time, turned around, and said to his apostles:

"Okay, my most pious apostles... my shadows."

"I allow you to leave, or observe this new "holy land" at will. After that, I will let the "Faceless" issue you a new task to "build" this holy land."

"I only ask one thing-don't damage anything you see."

"..."

Luo Xiu prepared to send his apostles to build a large-scale construction in the "Lost Royal Court".

After learning the structure and layout of this secret realm from the statue of King Isol, Luo Xiu no longer needed to "patrol" it himself.

In addition to the "main hall" and "forecourt" in the core position, this secret realm also has a large area of ​​space to be developed, which can carry out many regional construction works with different functions.

That is the development of territory... Luo Xiu, who was also a loyal player of farming games in his previous life, still has a lot of experience in how to build a territory from scratch.

——The main hall is the "audience place", and the forecourt can be used as the "square" of the Holy Abyss...

After that, a large number of "residences" will be built to store "divine objects" to cut the leeks of players, ugh, "offering halls" for players to use, and "treasure houses" that can store resources and treasures...

Various plans and arrangements for the subsequent construction of the Lost Royal Court flooded into Luo Xiu's mind. As he thought about these, a subtle arc rose at the corner of his mouth.

Although the "Lost Royal Court of Isol" secret realm has boundaries, the vast land inside is enough to support such construction.

As for the work of building the territory, Luo Xiu didn't actually need to do it himself.

He still clearly remembered that behind the "bloodthirsty werewolf" Buzer, there was a whole tribe of werewolves, the "Zagun" tribe, which could be absorbed into the "Holy Abyss" and build the Lost Royal Court, and they were all very good laborers.

Buzer had also expressed to Luo Xiu a long time ago that he wanted to join the whole tribe.

And the other apostles also had their own forces behind them, which could be taken into the "Isor Lost Royal Court".

But there was no need to tell Buzer and other apostles about this... Luo Xiu thought about this, and then looked at the apostles crawling in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his face again.

Then, the mark on the back of Luo Xiu's hand began to emit a red light, and his figure gradually became dim, and at a certain moment, he completely disappeared in front of the apostles and left this secret place.

...

Outskirts of Sina City.

The ruins of Xifeng Village, in a ruined church.

A dark red magic circle appeared on the ground, and a young man's figure slowly condensed above the magic circle.

After Luo Xiu poured spirituality into the red mark on the back of his hand, his eyes fell into darkness, and the surrounding environment immediately began to swirl rapidly. They blurred, shattered and disappeared, and then the real scene in the ruined church appeared. .

"When you teleport back from the Forgotten Royal Court, you will return to your previous location in the real world..." Luo Xiu looked around at the familiar scenes and murmured to himself.

The moment he was transported back to the real world from the secret realm, Luo Xiu began to observe the changing characteristics of the surrounding environment, and secretly rejected certain ideas in his heart.

For example, Luo Xiu first rejected the plan to use the "Forgotten Royal Court" as his permanent residence - when he was in the secret realm, he was very alert to discover that he could not feel the outside world and the "real world" Any breath makes it impossible to detect changes in the outside world.

When he teleports back to the real world from the secret realm, a corresponding and obvious teleportation array will appear on the ground. This means that if an enemy locks his position and deliberately ambush around him, Luo Xiu will be hostile to the enemy. The attack was caught off guard.

These are very fatal dangers. Once the enemy grasps and targets you, you will be in danger instantly...

However, in addition to these potential dangers, the transmission from the secret realm to reality may actually play some special role in battle...

For example, for enemies who don't know that they have the special ability to teleport to secret realms, this ability is equivalent to the "shadow travel" used by assassins, which can kill the opponent without anyone noticing...

Luo Xiu thought about this, and at the same time he turned around his spirituality and started to make some new attempts.

Later, Luo Xiu discovered that as the "Lord of the Forgotten Royal Court", as long as he adjusted his spirituality to the correct position and shifted his attention to the "Forgotten Royal Court", he could see the "God's perspective" in his mind. A real-time picture of "Isol's Forgotten Royal Court" emerged.

This is equivalent to installing a wide-angle camera in the "sky" of the Forgotten Royal Court, allowing Luo Xiu to see clearly any movement inside the Forgotten Royal Court.

Luo Xiu "saw" at this time that after receiving his order, his apostles began to move freely in the Forsaken Royal Court, patrolling and observing.

His apostles are very interested in this "new stronghold", which is a good sign... Luo Xiu thought to himself, while turning off the "live broadcast" in his mind.

His eyes then looked to the side, where the "Faceless One" Intis had stood in the open space before.

After a moment, a black, small teleportation circle appeared in the open space where Luo Xiu's eyes fell.

A slender figure gradually emerged from the magic circle. It was Intis.

She was lowering her head, closing her eyes tightly, and frowning at the same time, as if she was a little dizzy due to the change in the scene during the teleportation.

After feeling that the surrounding environment had returned to calm and the dizziness was no longer rising, Intis opened her eyes and saw a taller figure in front of her, looking at her with peaceful eyes.

"...Lord." Intis' voice was weak. She half-knelt on one knee, raised her hands in front of her, and performed the servant salute to Luo Xiu.

"Let's go, Intis."

Luo Xiu walked lightly and passed by Intis, and said in a calm voice:

"It's time to go back to the White Antelope Hotel."

"It's getting late, and I have new arrangements tomorrow."

"...Yes." Intis stood up, nodded gently in the direction of the Lord, and responded in a low voice.

Afterwards, Intis followed closely behind Luo Xiu, and the two figures left the ruined church and Xifeng Village one after another, and disappeared at the corner of the hillside.

…

The next day.

When Luo Xiu woke up from his room at Bailing Hotel, it was just dawn.

So he got up from the bed, went to the clothes rack, grabbed the priest's robe that he had not worn for nearly half a month, and put it on.

Now is the time for the church's daily prayers. Luo Xiu has learned from other guests staying in the hotel that the church of the Sina City Church has dealt with the aftermath of the previous invasion by the original sect and has reopened to believers.

This is pretty good news... The church in Sina City is back on track, Luo Xiu thought to himself.

At the same time, he had walked to the door of the room. He did not wake up the Intis cat taking a nap on the window sill. Instead, he gently turned the door handle, walked out of the room alone, and walked into the corridor outside the hotel.

According to Luo Xiu's arrangement today, he had to go back to the church to report to Priest Leonard the "surprise" that he had been promoted to a "four-fold destiny" transcendent.

As for whether Leonard will be "surprised" or "scared" when the time comes, it's not up to him... Luo Xiu thought with some joy as he arrived at the restaurant of the hotel.

After enjoying breakfast in the restaurant, Luo Xiu left the hotel and headed to Triumph Square. He followed the crowd of people going to the church to pay tribute and came to the door of the church.

The clergyman responsible for ushering him in on this day was a "trainee priest".

The trainee pastor saw the figure of the church's "deacon", Mr. "Rosio Carlos" from a distance.

A smile appeared on the face of the trainee pastor. When Luo Xiu approached the church, he lightly pressed his left hand on his right chest, saluted Luo Xiu solemnly, and said respectfully:

"Master deacon, you are finally back. The master priest has always told us these days that when we see you come back, we will ask you to see him immediately."

"I understand." Luo Xiu nodded in response, with an indifferent smile on his face, and asked the trainee priest, "How are things going these days?"

"Are you asking about the situation in the church?" The trainee pastor organized his speech and replied respectfully to Luo Xiu:

"The church has dealt with the aftermath of the previous cult incident, compiled the list of deceased clergy, and issued corresponding pensions to the families of the deceased clergy..."

"Some time ago, the church also received a large amount of material compensation from Songyuan City's 'Department of Justice', which indeed relieved a lot of pressure on the church. We heard from the priest that it was you who facilitated the compensation. This is yours. Achievements..."

"Also, the original Holy Inquisitor 'Pamie Skadia' has been successfully promoted to the third level of destiny. After you, our church has added an 'Acolyte' and a new 'Holy Inquisitor'! "

"..."

During his absence, Pamier successfully promoted to the third level of destiny? Luo Xiu showed an expression of joy, nodded and said, "This is a good thing."

"Yes, deacon, yes! This is the gospel of the church, which shows that we are on the right and glorious path."

The trainee priest nodded, and then said solemnly to Luo Xiu, "May you be blessed with the holy light forever, my deacon. Please go see the priest as soon as possible."

"May you be bathed in holy light forever."

Luo Xiu responded politely and gently to the trainee pastor, then said goodbye to him and walked deeper into the inner courtyard of the church.
