Chapter 334 Sacrifice Array, Evil God’s Choice Plan
That night, the Dark Night Sect held a regular meeting.
In the dim hall, believers wearing black cloaks and whose faces could not be seen clearly sat around a fire pit burning with purple flames.
Priest Chloe stood up and announced the order from the high priest to the leaders of each group.
“Shylock made meritorious service against the fishmen, and performed outstandingly in the duel with the five-ring heroes. He was promoted to bishop. When he returns to the empire, he will separately discuss the matter of Shylock commanding the diocese,
"In this grand ceremony, Sherlock has full authority to host the banquet. Barton, Matt, you two must cooperate fully. No matter what Sherlock orders, you must use your full strength. Understand?"
Yeats Sit in a corner of the hall, lower your head and remain silent, secretly observing the two people named.
The sinister man and the rich middle-aged man looked at each other, a strange look flashed across their faces, and they quickly covered it up, saying in unison:
"I will obey the will of the high priest and bishop. !”
The surprise in the two people’s hearts cannot be described in words.
How many days had it been since the last time I met Sherlock?
He has actually jumped from a newcomer to a bishop who leads a party?
What is the promotion speed? It's nothing more than getting on an airship!
The Yinwu man couldn't help but look at the young man in black robe sitting quietly in the corner of the hall, as if blending into the shadows, with envy and longing in his heart.
I’m afraid he didn’t get involved with the high priest, so he was promoted to the coveted Bishop of the Night in just a few days!
Becoming a bishop means that you are no longer bound by the shadow contract and can be free. Even if you leave the sect, you will not suffer the backlash of the shadow.
And because the high priest will personally give the bishop an obsidian bracelet named [Dark Night Embrace], holding this blessed holy object can make the practice of dark night magic twice as effective!
“Stop looking, pay attention to your attitude.”
Matt couldn’t help but tuck Barton’s clothes next to him, and whispered:
“Straight Staring at the bishop is also an offense.”
Upon hearing this, Barton immediately realized the disparity in status between the two sides.
The other party is no longer the junior with junior qualifications a few days ago, but has suddenly become his immediate boss!
Barton sighed complicatedly.
Even though Barton was arrogant, he also secretly suspected that there was something going on between him and the high priest.
But I have to admit that the strength Sherlock showed when he killed the Eight-Eyed Demon Squid that day was indeed worthy of being named a bishop!
"Sherlock, do you have anything to say?"
Priest Chloe asked Yeats.
Yeats put on an expressionless expression and shook his head silently.
At the same time, Yeats felt that all the eyes in the hall were focused on him.
There was suspicion, awe, flattery, and a few fiery glances, as if they saw an opportunity to get promoted.
In order to break the shadow contract and gain freedom, the Dark Night cultists will obey the bishop's orders and make many crazy moves.
In other words, as a bishop, Yeats can use [Dark Night's Embrace] to activate the Shadow Pact at any time, causing the opponent to suffer the backlash of the shadow, and possessing the power of life and death over ordinary believers!
The Duke also needs to follow the laws of the kingdom, at least, Yeats did so.
But there is a set of laws within the Dark Night Sect, that is, the higher the rank, the more lawless.
The upper echelons of the Dark Night Sect are filled with fanatics, people with split personalities, and serial criminals... It can be said that the stars of humanity are shining brightly.
In comparison, Magosha, the high priest who holds the highest position in the sect, looks like a normal person.
Yeats remembered that in the original work, Margotha's concept was quite pure... Let the night cover everything, and from then on all living beings will be equal, and let all life be under the protection of the night goddess, ignorant, peaceful and happy.
Famula of the Holy See Tribunal is a crazy woman who is guilty of all witchcraft. She is a devilish person who would not hesitate to shoot even her mentor who raised her.
"Soon, the three forces of the Dark Night, the Holy See, and the Fishmen will clash."
Yeats' eyes flashed slightly, thinking to himself.
"This scene of a river of blood must be something Daisy would like to see!"
Priest Chloe looked around the crowd and said:
"Since everyone has no objections, let's break up the meeting... Sherlock, you stay.”
The crowd dispersed.
Barton and Matt came forward, respectfully said goodbye to Yeats, and immediately left the hall.
In the silent hall, the shadows cast by the flames on the stone walls were like ghosts, making Chloe's voice seem to have a chill.
"Since you are already a bishop, you already have the right to know about some more important things... The high priest has given instructions, so just follow me."
In Yeats's heart Startled, I thought to myself, I'm afraid I'm about to touch the secrets within the Dark Night Sect!
“What are you waiting for?” The shadow crow that Chloe transformed into had scarlet eyes and spoke human words.
Yeats came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "Come here!"
Transform into Shadow Crow and follow Chloe.
Yeats came to a spiral staircase leading deeper.
The steps were extremely long, as if leading to an abyss. After an unknown amount of time, his vision suddenly opened up, and a huge square came into Yeats' eyes.
"This is..." Yeats's eyes widened in shock.
The square is located deep underground in the fishing village of Plymouth. Four towering obsidian pillars stand around a huge altar. In the center of the altar stood a statue of the goddess of the night.
Beautiful, coquettish, mysterious, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth.
Yeats's Adam's apple rolled, he swallowed hard, looked up, and saw bright diamonds embedded in the black stone wall, like the night shrouding his head.
Crack!
Chloe snapped her fingers.
The light in the entire square dimmed, and the obsidian pillars emitted a deep shimmer, as if absorbing all the light. The central altar emitted a purple light, reflecting the taller and deeper statue of the goddess of the night. Unpredictable.
At the same time, the dome becomes deeper, and the diamonds are like artificial stars, shining slightly, bringing a shocking beauty.
“This is the altar of the Night Goddess.”
Chloe smiled slightly, seeming to be equally proud of this altar, and said softly:
“It’s the sect that spent the money. It was built under Plymouth in the past five years.”
It has not been discovered by the local lord in five years. This lord is probably a believer of the devil... so lazy!
Yeats said: "So this is not a temporary stronghold?"
"Who told you that it is temporary?" Chloe glanced at Yeats and then said to herself, "The reason why the high priest ordered This altar was built in order to one day sacrifice the entire fishing village to the goddess of the night.”
Thousands of people’s lives are behind this understatement.
As a new young man from the 21st century, Yeats felt uncomfortable with living sacrifices, but he also knew that living sacrifices were a part of the rituals of gods since ancient times. He paused and said:
"Why choose Plymouth?"
"Because the people here have sinful blood."
Chloe said indifferently: "The fishermen here trade with the fishmen and serve the fishmen for generations in exchange for the fish given by the fishmen. Goods, gold, jewelry.
“Even sacrificing virgins, combining with fish-men, and then giving birth to deformed products. ”
Yeats shuddered.
Hybrid deep divers, right? The elements of the gram series are here!
"The high priest once told me that the more sinful the soul, the more precious the delicacy is to the goddess of the night..."
Chloe looked at Yeats and said:
"Can you Do you understand? Just like some humans have light tastes, and some humans don’t like spicy food. The Dark Night Goddess has a special liking for sinful souls.”
I understand, the Dark Night Goddess has a strong taste!
Yeats said: "So, the high priest will build an altar underground in Plymouth and wait for one day to perform sacrifices?"
Chloe nodded and said:
"Instead of sacrificing ignorant humans, it is better to sacrifice these sinful souls to get the attention of the goddess of the night——"
"This place The grand formation on the altar has been prepared for three years and is large enough to cover the entire fishing village."
Chloe looked back at the statue of the Night Goddess with reverence and worship in her eyes.
"At that time, the blood of sin will no longer exist, and all deformities and blasphemies will return to the eternal night!" Yeats finally understood.
Although the goddess of the night is from the evil camp, she also has her own rules of conduct.
When the gods were born, they also had their own corresponding races. For example, the gods of Dark Night and Moonlight corresponded to humans.
To be more precise, human beings are a race created by gods in their own image.
Races such as elves and dwarves were not created by gods, but originated from older existences - the Titans.
Between fish and humans, the Night Goddess is obviously on the side of humans.
Of course, the goddess of the night does not eliminate evil in order to save mankind. She simply feels that the evil souls are more to her taste, so she asks believers to sacrifice evil people...
The intention is bad, Once executed, it belongs to yes.
Yeats looked to the sky.
The goddess of the night, you are so kind!
Looking at this coquettishly beautiful statue of the goddess of the night, Yeats felt that the statue had a soul-stirring magic power, as if it was trying to absorb his consciousness into it, and he quickly shook his head.
I am already the chosen god of magic, art, and illusion.
The temptation of the goddess of the night to me is not worth mentioning!
Writing this to himself, Yeats withdrew his mind and expressed his question:
"What will be the result of the sacrifice?"
"What do you think?" Chloe asked with a smile.
"Getting the gaze of the goddess of the night...no, getting a blessing?" Yeats asked tentatively.
Believer, Gaze, Blessing, God's Choice...the four are ranked in order from low to high.
"It is a higher favor than a blessing."
Chloe paused and said earth-shattering words.
"The high priest wants to sacrifice the entire Plymouth so that the Chosen of the Night will come!"
Yeats was stunned on the spot, his eyes wide with shock. For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The memory in my mind conflicts with the current plot!
Yeats clearly remembered that Margotha was the chosen one by the Night God, and she was also the vessel chosen by the Night Goddess. When necessary, the Night Goddess could use her body to descend in the material realm.
Judging from Chloe's words, at this point in time, the Dark Night God's Chosen has not yet been born?
Looking at 'Sherlock''s surprised expression, Chloe smiled and said:
"When I first heard the news, I was as shocked as you, but now, I can understand the high priest's intention. Well-intentioned... As long as the plan succeeds, the influence of our faction will be further enhanced, and these minions of the Holy See will definitely be defeated by the Chosen Ones!"
What evil plan is the Chosen Ones?
Yeats calmed down, looked at the obsidian altar, and said:
"Then when this magic circle is opened, how to determine whether we are the enemy or not? Will it be effective against the Holy See troops currently stationed in Plymouth? ?”
"This is the brilliance of the high priest."
Chloe said: "The magic circle she designed will determine the target of the sacrifice based on the dark night divinity in the soul...also That is to say, as long as the minions of the Holy See stay in the formation long enough, their souls will be burned by the shadows, and finally they will be sacrificed to the goddess of the night!"
Sacrifice to a certain god! When you have faith and awaken the corresponding profession, the corresponding divine seeds will be born in the soul realm.
For example, if you want to release the moonlight spell, you must have the corresponding moonlight divinity in the soul realm.
Hearing this, Yeats's heart skipped a beat, and he was about to say that I am not a Dark Night believer.
When I thought about it, I realized that the divinity of the dark night in my soul realm was only much more than the five-ring warlocks who followed the way of the dark night.
That’s okay!
"Although the magic circle has been fully arranged, the necessary feasts and ritual utensils in the ceremony are still indispensable." Chloe smiled slightly, "You don't have to be nervous. With your culinary skills, I want merit, but I will definitely make no mistakes in the feast ceremony... As for the ritual utensils..."
"The Fishman King will personally deliver this ritual utensil to us," Chloe said strategically. .
“The fish-men tribe also has royal-level monsters to help them, so they should not be underestimated.” Yeats reminded.
To be fair, Yeats hoped that the Dark Night Sect would get the Heart of the Ocean. After all, if this ritual fell into their hands, it would be easier for him to get it than for the Holy See to get the Heart of the Ocean.
“This, the high priest and I have our own plans.” Chloe said calmly, “You just need to think about how to use your expertise and prepare the feast properly.”
The Dark Night Sect can quietly set up this large formation underground, so it must have other trump cards.
Yeats thought to himself that instead of secretly targeting the emperor-level monsters, it would be better to use the hands of the Dark Night Sect to obtain the ingredients openly.
Thinking of this, Yeats said frankly:
"To be honest, I want to use the imperial monsters as ingredients to make a feast!"
The words just finished.
Chloe froze on the spot, looking at Yeats in disbelief, and tilted her head slightly.
“Huh?”
Emperor-level monsters are extremely dangerous existences.
After learning that the murloc forces had royal-level monsters as allies, Chloe and High Priest Margotha discussed countermeasures overnight, and finally came to the conclusion——
We must rely on the help of the Holy See and Famula. Hope, repel it!
But even after deciding on the strategy of "driving the trouble eastward", the high priest only hoped to expel the unknown emperor-level monster, and did not expect to kill it.
And this kid actually opened his mouth like a lion and wanted to make royal monsters into delicacies?
If this wasn't the nonsense he was talking about after getting drunk, Chloe suspected that he really didn't know the strength of the imperial monster, and he was an ignorant person who was fearless!
Yeats coughed dryly.
An emperor-level monster like the Lieyang Fighting Lion is already the top among the emperor-level monsters, equivalent to the peak of the sixth ring.
The emperor-level monsters among the fish-men tribe will definitely not be as strong as the Liyang Fighting Lion.
If you are lucky, it will be enough to use "Part Destruction" like a monster hunter, pick up some of the meat of the imperial beast, and make it into a feast.
“I don’t want the whole imperial beast, just a part of it.” Yeats made a little gesture.
Chloe glanced at Yeats complicatedly and said:
"Even if I can bring back a little bit of the meat of an imperial monster as you said...are you sure you have the ability to handle it?"
"Don't worry!" Yeats said confidently, "My culinary skills have been affirmed by the goddess of the night, and I can also cook imperial-level monsters!"
Chloe shook her head, He said helplessly:
"Okay, I understand, I will report this matter to the high priest... If she can agree, try to prepare all the feast materials you want!"
Yeats nodded, his eyes fell on the beautiful statue of the goddess of the night again, and he fell into deep thought.
The purpose of this magic circle is to sacrifice thousands of lives in Plymouth in exchange for the arrival of the Dark Night God's Chosen...
But which Dark Night believer will the Dark Night Goddess choose to become her? The choice of God depends entirely on your mood.
The reason why Margotha wants to obtain the Heart of the Ocean is because when she offers the Heart of the Ocean to the Night Goddess, her probability of becoming the God's Chosen will be greatly increased.
"So, if I offer a feast to the goddess of the night..."
Yeats thought to himself and was slightly surprised.
“Don’t I really have a chance to become the Chosen One of the Night God?”
Yeats shook his head again.
No, the divine choice is the agent of the gods in the human world. Except for special circumstances, there will be no co-election of multiple gods.
The goddess of the night and the goddess of magic are both powerful gods and live together in the divine world. She must know that I have become the goddess of magic's choice. There is no reason to lower my qualifications to me.
Yeats discussed his thoughts with Zuan Ya in the demon pet plane, and said:
“Zuan Ya, what do you think?”
Zan Ya thought for a while and said: “Words You can't say that. Maybe the goddess of the night has a strong taste and likes to steal the chosen ones that other gods have chosen?"
Yeats: "..."
Likes to dance vigorously? A prophet, right? I'll kill you sooner or later!
