Doomsday Harvest of Cthulhu

Chapter 20 Dagon
Scott sat by the bed, looked at Father Lynn lying on the bed, and asked Ren Xingzhi anxiously: "What's going on?"

Ren Xingzhi placed his fingers on Father Lynn's wrist, waited quietly for a while and said, "The magic fluctuations in the body are completely exhausted. Burn your own vitality to cast spells. Fortunately, the consumption is not much. Just rest for one night."

Scott nodded, obviously understood, and didn't say anything else. He turned around and took a hot towel to wipe Father Lynn's face and arms.

The casting conditions of each spell may be easy or difficult. If a spell with strong effects or harsh conditions requires an extremely large source of magic power, and the caster's own magic power is not enough, some powerful wizards can use their own vitality replaced.

This is the case with Father Lynn. To a certain extent, such a spell that can heal others can be said to consume itself to make up for others, which is why it consumes so much, causing this situation.

In the living room, everyone was eating steak and bread, everyone frowned and remained silent.

Ren Xingzhi took the lead to break the silence and said: "This underground cave is bigger than we imagined, and even the Dagon Esotericists have opened up many new passages."

"With so many deep divers out there, it's getting more and more complicated," Wibson said.

Allen said: "The most urgent thing is to find the statue first."

Fischer swallowed the bread in his mouth and said, "There will be no statues under the cave, I'm sure of that."

Everyone asked: "Why?"

Fischer wiped his mouth and said: "First of all, the statue needs the protection of many deep divers. I can feel that there are not many underground people, and the number is very scattered. Secondly, I have also gone down to that cave, and I don't feel it. To the breath of the statue."

Wipsen asked suspiciously: "Why can you feel their breath?"

Fischer said in a deep voice: "Please don't discriminate against me, friends, because I am a semi-deep diver."

The expressions on everyone's faces were very rich, and they didn't know what to say.

Fischer continued: "I don't know who my parents were, but Tom Callas, the captain of the Wind of the Sea, picked me up on the dock and adopted me."

Fischer sighed and continued: "I drifted with him on the sea, transporting goods, until one day, a group of deep divers boarded the ship, and they told me that they wanted me to return to the group and take me away. , How could I accept that I am this kind of monster, my captain, my father, he fought with those deep divers."

He held his head, and this memory gave him a splitting headache and excruciating pain: "The first mate, Eli Hanpri, and the second mate, Iaquino Brito, they died one by one in front of me to protect me, and we finally The gang of deep divers were repelled, but except for the three surviving crew members and me, everyone else on the ship died."

"What happened later?" Ren Xingzhi asked softly.
"Later? Then I hugged the dying captain, and he told me that the boat was given to me. He told me not to go to sea again, and asked me to sell the boat and use the money to do something I like. Gone." Fischer finished with tears in his eyes.

Wimpson poured him a glass of wine, pushed him in front of him and said, "You are a man, our origin is not something we can choose, but the ending is something we can choose."

Fischer gulped it down and said: "Thank you, you didn't look down on me because of my unclean blood. For so many years, I have been looking for things related to deep divers, and I only hope that I can replace the deceased on the ship." revenge."

Allen looked at the big wooden stick held by the Deep Diver in his hand and said, "What is this?"

Fischer replied: "That's a sacrificial stick that can only be used by the deep diver priests. The deep diver priests are all deep divers who have been blessed by Dagon. This wooden stick has also been enchanted, and its hardness is comparable to iron. .”

Allen asked again: "Does this wooden stick have any effect?"

Fischer said: "The stick appears to be enchanted with a sea breathing magic, as long as it is hit by the stick, the lungs will continue to produce sea water."

Allen blinked his eyes: "Then this is a good thing! It belongs to me."

Ren Xingzhi asked, "Do you know anything about Dagon's Secret Cult or Deep Divers?"

Fischer said: "The Dagon Secret Cult is an evil church composed of a group of humans. They will contact the deep divers and complete the tasks assigned by the deep divers. The deep divers will give them rich gold or fish as rewards. The Dagon Esoteric Cult will also mate with deep divers to give birth to semi-deep divers," he paused at this point: "Maybe, that's how I came here too."

Ren Xingzhi comforted him, and then continued to ask: "The Priest of the Deep Diver appeared here, is this normal?"

Fischer said: "Of course it's not normal. If the Priest of the Deep Diver appears here, Dagon may also appear here."

Fischer continued to add: "Dagon is a title. The leader of every deep diver is called Dagon, and he was born from the priests of the deep divers. Dagon is extremely large in size, and its destructive power is even stronger. It is estimated that Only heavy artillery can pose a threat to it."

Ren Xingzhi said worriedly: "It seems that the statue is very important this time. Dagon and the Familiars of the Stars have all appeared here. We need to plan carefully when Arias comes back."

Everyone nodded, cleared the dining table, took a hot bath one after another, and waited for Arias.

A crescent moon hangs above the sky, and the white moonlight shines on the calm sea.And under the surface of the sea, the corpse of a deep diver priest who was thrown into the sea by Ren Xingzhi and others was being carried by an undercurrent towards a certain place.

After an unknown amount of time, the corpse was sent to a stone platform on the seabed by an undercurrent. Countless bubbles suddenly appeared in front of the stone platform, and two huge creatures squeezed out of the bubbles.

The creature in front was about five stories tall, with a sharp dorsal fin like barbs on its back, and every sweep of its thick tail in the water could set off waves of undercurrents, huge scaled claws, sharp fangs, It's like a killing monster described in mythology.The creature in the back is slightly smaller, but its features are not bad.

This is what Dagon Esotericism believes in, the most loyal race of Cthulhu, the father and mother gods of the deep divers, Dagon and Hydera.

With a sweep of Dagon's thick tail, countless blisters wrapped the dead Priest of the Deep Diver, and the wound continued to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Priest of the Deep Diver opened his eyes at the same moment, And got up and knelt down on the ground.

The Priest of the Deep Diver said respectfully in La'lye language: "Respect the Father God and Mother God!"

Dagon said flatly: "Incompetent waste, you are no longer worthy to be a member of the priests, go kill them and make up for your mistakes."

The muscles of the priest's whole body swelled rapidly, his eyes changed from green to deep blood red, and sharp claws continued to grow from his hands.The intelligent agility in its eyes disappeared, replaced by endless killing.

It becomes a more powerful, more brutal killing machine, and the price it pays is its intelligence.
