Chapter 227: Sacrifice

Supernatural Balance Committee.

As soon as this sentence came out, Tang Bai immediately understood who was behind it.

Vampire progenitor Klaus.

Founder of the New Orleans Commission on the Balance of Occult Creatures.

"What did Klaus tell you to do to me?" Tang Bai asked again.

"I don't know." Makad Bell shook his head. As soon as her words came out, it obviously proved one point from the side, and it was Klaus who targeted Tang Bai.

"Who knows?" Tang Bai asked.

"Lilia. Klaus did not allow us to sit in on the hearing. Makad Bell murmured back.

"Makad, are you crazy? How dare you! A shrill female voice suddenly rang out, "You're going to kill us!" ”

Tang Bai looked at the source of the voice, and a middle-aged witch with her hair trimmed into pigtails was looking at Makad Bell with an angry expression. Tang Bai lightly rested his fingers in the center of his lips and made a silent gesture.

"Quiet."

The shouting was accompanied by a [faint] spell, which fell on the enraged witch. Then there was another [Faint to the Ground] spell, and after knocking out the remaining witches who were still conscious, Tang Bai was satisfied and refocused on Makad Bell, who was still lying on the ground.

Although the witches around Makad Bell were also harmed by Tang Bai's spell, there was no doubt that the connection spell was not disturbed by the damage and was successfully lifted. Tang Bai just caught up with the end. Now under Tang Bai's hands and feet, he can still stay awake, that is, Makad Bell.

"Lilia, is that the one you are in charge of, the leader of you witches?" Tang Bai thought of what Makad Bell had said just now that Lilia was the first person in power here.

"Yes. She is the most powerful witch among us. Makad Bell's eyes swept over her unconscious companion on the ground, she tried to control her body and mouth, but to her horror and powerlessness, no matter how much she tried to control it, the effort was useless.

As long as Tang Bai opened his mouth, his voice was like having the magic power of a devil, and he could easily get all the secrets they wanted to know from his mouth. Her consciousness was still there, but she just couldn't control her mouth and facial muscles, as long as Tang Bai asked, she couldn't help but answer.

"Where is she now?" Tang Bai asked.

"I don't know, she doesn't like people to find out about her affairs and traces." Makad Bell shook her head in panic.

"I don't know? How could you not be clear? Is she not your leader, not your leader? Tang Bai frowned.

"Lilia is our leader, but she's very different from us." Makad Bell muttered.

"What's the difference?" Tang Bai asked unrelentingly.

"She never lives here, and she rarely enjoys being with us when she's not on business. In her eyes, we are not her companions, but mere servants and subordinates. Makad Bell spoke slowly, "We see our power as life, and she sees it as a means to be used. ”

"Oh~!" Tang Bai whistled: "You don't like her very much." ”

"It's not just me, not many people here like her. It's because of her that we're here. "Makad Bell has clearly given up on resistance completely, and is no longer fighting with the mysterious force flowing through her for control of any body.

After giving up resistance and completely relaxed, Makad Bell's body, which had been twitching slightly, became calm. After taking the elixir, there is a difference between resisting and giving up resistance, and it depends on how much you say.

If you consciously resist, it is to ask and answer, and only answer the question that is related, and one more word will be forcibly retracted and pressed back down. But after losing resistance, it's not just a question and answer, if you don't suppress the kind of export, you can't stop saying more.

It's like the current Makad Bell.

"Can't you resist?" Following Makard Bell's narration, Tang Bai also identifies Lilia as a key figure in wooing and recruiting witches.

"No, Lilia is strong. And she has her own witch servant. The witches recognized Lilia's ideas. Makad Bell shook his head and said, "We don't want any conflict with her. Our strength comes from our ancestors who lay down here. We can't leave this area. Once you leave, it means giving up your power. ”

Makad Bell paused as he spoke, and said with a very solemn expression: "No witch would be willing to do this, willing to give up her power. Once a dispute with Lilia starts, it will inevitably not be the result of one party staying and one being expelled. Because there is no one on either side to retreat. The witches here don't hurt each other easily. ”

"How do you know about her conspiracy with Klaus? According to what you say, she should not trust you. Tang Bai had a faint trace of incomprehension in his heart.

"I happened to be there that day on the Supernatural Balance Committee. I saw Klaus. Makad Bell said seriously.

"Why are you hostile to each other? There are werewolves, vampires, and even immortal vampire ancestors in this city, so shouldn't you witches be tightly united? Tang Bai asked.

Makad Bell, who was originally calm, suddenly trembled again. His pupils constricted, and his lips trembled, as if he was forcibly suppressing something. Tang Bai's eyes lit up when he saw her appearance. Makad Bell looked like this, apparently trying to avoid revealing any secrets. Obviously, Tang Bai's question is the last thing Makad Bell wants to reveal in his heart.

"Say it, don't hide it. I'm listening. Tang Bai's voice was soft and soothing, unhurried.

For Makard Bell, Tang Bai's soft and soothing tone, like a hazy voice that went straight to the bottom of her heart, carried an irresistible magic that loosened her body, weakened her resistance, and tricked her into surrendering to the owner of the voice.

"Lilia wants to gain greater power, and that power is based on sacrifice. What she shouldn't do. Makad Bell said dejectedly.

"Sacrifice?" Tang Bai immediately thought of a certain possibility, and immediately asked tentatively.

"Yes, sacrifice! Through the ritual of sacrifice, more and more power is gained. Makad Bell was clearly resistant to the question being answered.

"I know you have a ritual called the Harvest Sacrifice. It is to satisfy one's ancestors by sacrificing one's own bloodline. Then your ancestors will give you a great power. It allows you to use magic freely. Isn't this ritual part of your customs? Why do you feel resistant? Tang Bai, who had received a definite answer, immediately thought of the memories of his ancestors' magic in his mind.

As he said, ancestral magic is a ritual of gaining power through blood sacrifices. In Tang Bai's impression, this ritual seems to have always been a tradition for witches who use ancestral magic. Theoretically, if you don't want to lose your power and become an ordinary person, then it seems that witches such as Makad Bell should not be disgusted and resistant to this traditional ritual.

But the Makad Bell in front of him did not hide his disgust and resistance, even a little fear.

"Nope! I don't know where you, an outsider, heard about this, but the ritual that Lilia prepared was not a ritual of the harvest sacrifice! Makad Bell denied: "The ceremony of the harvest offering is only held once every three hundred years. Moreover, the steps and incantations of its rituals are only understood by the elders of the witches. ”

"Lilia is not an elder. It has only been about 200 years since the last harvest ceremony was held. There are at least 100 years left until the next harvest begins. It's another kind of sacrifice. ”

Makad Bell obviously didn't want to say more, and he only reluctantly answered Tang Bai's answer. Obviously, she is also restraining what she says.

"What kind of sacrifice? I need to be more specific. If you can answer well, I might be able to help you out with some of your problems. Tang Bai gently seduced Makad Bell and encouraged her to say more.

"The spells and steps of the ritual are known only to Lilia and a few of her henchmen. As for us? She doesn't trust us. But any type of sacrifice requires sacrifice. The stronger the sacrifice, the more satisfied the Holy Spirit was with those sacrifices. Makad Bell seemed to recall something she didn't want to recall, and her face tinged with a hint of iron as she spoke.

"What kind of sacrifice did Lilia choose? Mankind? Or is it some other supernatural creature? Tang Bai sensitively sensed that the reason for the rift between Makad Bell and other witches and Lilia was probably the sacrifice.

"Witch." A flush appeared on Makad Bell's face.

"She used witches as sacrifices?" Tang Bai was also stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

The harvest sacrifice is also used by witches, and there are still young witches with special talents. Sacrifices are also required, but according to the steps and sayings, those young witches who died in the harvest sacrifice will be reborn and resurrected with great power and the gift of their ancestors after the ceremony.

And the inexplicable sacrificial ritual that Lilia used, the sacrificial witch, is likely to have really gone to another world. (To be continued.) )
