Chapter 435 Melkor’s Vision
It didn’t take too long to prepare for the ceremony. There were corpses and skulls everywhere here, and this environment was very suitable for establishing the conditions for communication with Melkor.
Under the command of Soul Controller Cresa, the corpse servants began to pick up those bones that met the requirements from the ground and built them into pyramid-like piles of corpses.
Although the corpses seem to be unintelligent zombie corpses in name, they are actually not so. They are undoubtedly living people. The corpses are the lowest-ranking ordinary members of the Death Cult. No matter what kind of ceremony the sect holds, the corpses have to be left to arrange the scene. When the corpses have completed setting up the ceremony's frame, the skull-beaters of a higher level than them are also surrounding them. Come up.
They surrounded the ceremonial place set up by the corpse, holding a specially made skull with cold candlelight in its lower jaw and eye sockets, and chanted in praise of Melkor, the god of the dead, around the ceremonial site. Eulogy.
"The smile of the pale skull!"
"The regret of the ruined body!"
"The turmoil of thousands of dead!"
"The king of bones! The king of the dead!" God! Lord of graves and years, Lord of dust and dusk, lower your gaze!” The breath also drifted out from the surrounding bones. It was the negative energy fluctuation that belonged to the God of the Undead. Melkor had begun to notice the situation here, and at this moment, Catheric Thom Then he walked into the center of the ceremony, raised his hands and embraced the sky.
"My lord Melkor! Lord of Bones! Lord of the Dead! Your loyal followers pray for your guidance! Please send down the oracle to guide us through the confusion!"
"Catheri Gram——"
A withered, old and hoarse voice suddenly reached Kesrick's ears. On top of the pile of pyramid skulls in the middle, an intact human skull suddenly burned. In the dim yellow flames, the skull floated up, and then slowly drifted in front of Catheric. Melkor's will appeared in the skull.
“My lord!”
The surrounding believers instantly fell to their knees, and even Kesserick immediately knelt down.
Although the kneeling general's spine is still straight, which retains his last dignity, his head is also humbly lowered, because the gods must not be disrespected. As Melkor's chosen one, Catheric only Be able to listen humbly to the teachings of the God of the Dead.
“My elect—I already know your worries, but there is no need to worry or be alarmed. The difficulties you think are not real problems. On the contrary, these tiny tadpoles are the ones we are about to face. The beginning of the rise.”
The skeleton carrying Melkor’s will continued to speak.
"My lord, please forgive my ignorance. I don't understand. The mind flayer tadpoles produced by the master brain are becoming increasingly scarce. If this continues, our originally planned army..."
"Catheric, my chosen one, an army of mind flayers has never been the most important thing. Those soulless monsters have no value in my eyes, but those tadpoles, those killed by Karthus The tadpole imbued with the crown has infinite potential, and I have already foreseen the future..."
"Great Master, what kind of future will that be?"
"The birth of a new god, Catheric, the crown of Karthus has the potential to turn mortals into gods, and when it After the wearer becomes a monster, this potential has been amplified to an unimaginable degree. "My master, do you mean that the mastermind will become a new god?" How is this possible..."
"Catherick, my elect, you have to remember that the future is a vague and foggy road, even for me Even the true gods dare not claim to be able to control the direction of destiny, but we can still make certain predictions about the future with our otherworldly vision. And this time, I have a hunch, Kesrick, Ben and I Well, there have been changes in the transaction between Baal."
Melko's words suddenly changed.
"Those tadpoles, I can feel that the crown of Karsus is transforming them, just like transforming the main brain. This is an evolutionary process leading to the unknown, and when this process is over, these tadpoles will also have the ability to transform into decay. For the magical power! My elect, the only thing you have to do now is to wait for a suitable opportunity, and when the time is right, directly seize control of the mastermind from the other two elects.”
'Do you want me to find an opportunity to break my covenant with them? ...Forget it, this alliance is full of loopholes anyway, and there is no trust between the members of the alliance. Even if there are contractual restrictions, under the intervention of gods, it is not difficult at all to betray each other. '
"As you command, my master, I...I will wait for the right time."
Catheric humbly lowered his head again, Melkor once gave him He had the one gift that none of the gods could give him, his daughter. Melkor made her heart beat again, and in return for this gift, Kesric gave him unbounded loyalty, as If necessary, he would even be willing to judge the death of all Faerûn for Melkor.
“Very good – but not until then.”
Melkor's skull suddenly turned 180 degrees, and his vision was facing a deep dark cave, which was probably less than 200 meters away from him.
At that moment, Nohir, who transformed into an invisible little devil and had just been hiding in this cave for ten seconds, was discovered by the Lord of the Undead in an instant.
“First kill the little thief who is snooping around, Keswick. You have been chased here without being discovered. I am somewhat disappointed in you, my chosen one.”
< br>'! How is that possible? ! Something has been snooping around here! I actually never noticed it! ’
“I’m sorry, my lord, but that little thief won’t live much longer, I assure you.”
...
'It's really unlucky that this happened to me. Even though I made so many preparations to prevent being discovered, I was still discovered before launching the raid...'
Nohir sighed helplessly. There was nothing he could do about it. He thought that his preparations were as good as those of a mortal. But facing the gaze of a god, even if he hid in another dimension, he would probably still be the same. It will be seen through directly.
“In the end, you still have to fight hard!”
