"Now, you go and prepare, we should start a new sacrifice immediately, and thank the great Lord of Ashes for his gift."
In fact, the high priest knew very well that it was rare for the Lord of Ashes to bestow a gift in a hundred years.
Therefore, if the sacrifice is held again, there will be no new gifts, and it is even less likely that the Lord of Ashes will come.
He was just trying to encourage investors to pay for everything of the Chaos Embers Cult.
Although he looked down on these fools, the high priest knew that if the order wanted to develop in Nolan, it had to rely on the so-called upper class.
As for the divine descent that Aina mentioned, the high priest is still very suspicious until now, after all, she was the only person in the church at that time.
Gifts are more common, but few words, the gods who have been too lazy to talk to humans for thousands of years have really come?
The high priest went to check just now, and he has never heard of any large-scale natural disasters happening around the world, which is completely inconsistent with the records in the book.
The proof is clear, the little girl is just lying.
No one raised any objections. What happened tonight has already made the greedy people even more greedy, and they can't wait to ask for more gifts.
Supernatural forces have always been strictly controlled by the Anti-Magical Bureau.
But no matter what kind of society it is, there are always some people who are just around the corner, trying to touch those forces that can drive them crazy or even perish.
-
A few days later, the new sacrifice ceremony was ready.
The location of the sacrifice this time is in the hall of the villa.
This villa is not only luxuriously decorated, but also occupies a large area, accommodating dozens of people is no problem at all.
Tonight is still a night of heavy rain, white lightning flashes outside the window, and rumbling thunder resounds outside the window.
The hall on the first floor of the villa was dimly lit, only the flickering candles were lit on the altar.
People wearing black cloaks formed a circle, forming a circular ancient magic circle, chanting ancient spells in their mouths.
Aina is not a priest's apprentice, so she is not qualified to chant spells.
She knelt in the crowd further back, without even a gleam in her eyes, as lifeless as she was at the beginning, and no longer had any vision for the future.
The priest knelt in the center of the magic circle, as the presiding officer, with a wrinkled face hidden in a black hood, and obscure incantations constantly appearing from his shriveled mouth.
"Endless calamity, the source of catastrophe"
"The Miserable of the White Mist"
"Lord of Ashes Who Destroyed the Stars"
"I present you with an ever-changing mask"
"Show your great body and make the world fear"
After chanting all the spells, he said in a deep voice, "Offer a sacrifice to the great Lord of Ashes."
Two men in black stepped forward, holding a rectangular dark red case.
On top of the case is a pure white mask with a black tear drawn under its right eye.
This time the sacrifice was no longer a girl, but a "relic" that had been sunk for a long time, and the provider was naturally the sponsors of the religious order.
Their financial resources are unimaginable for ordinary people, and most things are easy to get, even the "relics" are not so out of reach.
"Relics" are items that are strictly forbidden by the Anti-Magical Bureau to be touched by ordinary people. Most of them have magical powers, but they are also extremely dangerous. Most of the "relics" are sealed by the Anti-Magic Bureau.
It is said that some of the highest-level "relics" can even destroy human civilization.
The sacrifice this time was not a living sacrifice, and the members of the Chaos Ember Cult did not leave, but stayed in the villa.
The candles on the altar suddenly went out one by one.
The high priest trembled slightly, subconsciously feeling something was wrong.
Immediately afterwards, he found that the sound of the rain outside the house had completely disappeared, and the surrounding was abnormally quiet, and a strange atmosphere filled the villa.
"Could it be that......"
Is the Lord of Ashes really coming?No, this is impossible. There have only been two arrivals in the past thousand years. Why did it come at this time?
His heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Aina. Could it be that what she said was true?
But if what she said was true, how could the Lord of Ashes descend twice in a short period of time?
The believers were still praying, and only the high priest was the first to feel a huge sense of oppression, like a boiling sea falling from the sky.
For hundreds of years, as the only leader of the Embers of Chaos Order, he has already dealt with countless real despairs, but he has never experienced such an incredible horror.
"Ah! Above!" Suddenly a believer shouted.
Thick gray mist drifted down from the second floor of the villa, filling the hall, and the surrounding temperature continued to rise.
An indescribable voice filled people's minds, and an extremely huge figure emerged from the gray shadows, revealing an extremely terrifying appearance.
Like a volcano-like serpentine body, the shaking wings condensed by black flames, the shape of the body is changing every moment.
Because of His influence, the entire villa became extremely bright, and from the outside, it looked like a burning house.
People's faces were full of horror, and when they saw Him for the first time, many people lost the ability to act, fell to their knees, and fell into extreme fear.
The high priest himself was also terrified, trembling, lying on the ground and not daring to move.
"God..." He almost buried his head in the ground.
The burning body stood on the second floor of the villa, looking down at the terrified crowd.
Aina also stared at him blankly, as if she had been frightened, but the light in her dim eyes rose again.
Chapter 7 Facing the Gods
Standing on the second floor, Shen Yi took a deep breath.
In the past few days, the sound of calling finally stopped, and the vibration did not continue. He thought that things had eased.
Tonight he was called again.
Traveling through the gray mist, Shen Yi found himself in a luxuriously decorated, simple and elegant villa.
There were many people kneeling in the lobby on the first floor, obviously very afraid of themselves, and from the summoning words, it could be judged that these people were all followers of the Lord of Ashes.
"Again..."
The gravitational force behind him still exists, Shen Yi knows that he only needs to hold on for ten minutes.
Shen Yi once again noticed the little girl with silver hair.
Fortunately, the little girl is still alive.
Has this little girl been promoted from a sacrifice to a believer?It seems that the "oracle" issued by him is effective.
The high priest was trembling with fright, his mind became chaotic, and he didn't know what to do.
It has been hundreds of years, he has presided over the ceremonies of the religious order for hundreds of years, and he is familiar with the classics about the Lord of Ashes, but this is the first time he has seen the god he believes in.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, prostrated himself on the ground and raised his hands.
"Great Lord of Ashes, we will offer you the hidden treasure, the endlessly changing mask."
As the high priest of the Lord of Ashes, he is now terribly scared, and even has the idea that the Lord of Ashes will take the sacrifice and leave quickly.
As for God's gift...surely nothing matters.
He is very clear that the Lord of Ashes is the god of endless disasters, and his existence is already the source of disasters.
Standing on the second floor of the villa, Shen Yi heard the words of the high priest.
He didn't answer but speculated secretly that this person was wearing a delicate black robe, and from his position and speech, he should be the priest presiding over the ceremony.
At the same time, he had noticed the mask placed on the altar.
The nearly pure white tear-eyed mask, with its mysterious and ancient charm, drew his attention, surely their new offering to the Lord of Ashes.
If you want to pretend to be the Lord of Ashes, you have to accept the sacrifices so as not to show your feet. Once the disguise is exposed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Before being summoned, Shen Yi had thought about the worst outcome.
The moment he was summoned, he was immediately pressed to the ground by the cultists, tied up and dismembered.
The current situation is much better than he imagined, and these cultists look terrified to death.
I have to say that Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the cultists can accept the setting that the Lord of Ashes appears in human form.
As long as you stay steady and don't break the rules, you will be safe if you succeed in fooling around.
Shen Yi stood on the second floor and didn't go down. On the one hand, he knew that keeping a distance is very important for the sense of mystery, and on the other hand, he didn't want to get in close contact with the cultists.
He had thought about it a long time ago. After he was summoned again, he was not questioned, so he directly followed the wishes of the summoners.
Shen Yi said calmly: "You stupid mortal, I accept your sacrifice."
Everyone knelt on the ground, and the oracle of the Lord of Ashes appeared in their minds. The inhuman voice was like a flame. Although it was not a human language, everyone could understand the meaning.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yi was thinking about how he would take away the sacrifice.
But before he finished thinking, the pure white tear mask automatically floated up, and it flew directly towards Shen Yi in mid-air, and landed in his hand.
what happened?
Shen Yi was a little puzzled, he looked at the mask that flew into his hand, could it be that this mask could fly by itself?
-
Everyone saw the "relic" mask as a sacrifice, picked up by the wings of a black flame of the Lord of Ashes.
The high priest breathed a sigh of relief, and the Lord of Ashes accepted their sacrifice. He knelt for a while but found that the Lord of Ashes hadn't left.
He suddenly understood.
The Lord of Ashes has only come a few times in thousands of years, and as long as he comes, there must be a big event. Obviously, He also came this time for something.
Could it be that He wants to destroy this city?Or even the whole of Nolan?Or have plans to overturn the world?
The more the high priest thought about it, the more frightened he became, but he still bit the bullet and forced his mouth.
"Infinite calamity, the source of calamity, the lord of ashes who annihilated the stars, please send down your oracle and let the world run according to your will."
