Chapter 51: The Sacrifice of Extravagance
"The auspicious time has come, the door of the devil is wide open!"
The whole square fell silent in an instant.
With the sound of gears smashing, a dozen workers on the platform struggled to pull down the huge switches that were lined up in all directions.
The lifting platform shook violently, and the valves of the four giant steam pipes below were wide open.
Su Ding felt that the ground began to shake slowly and regularly.
Immediately after, a mysterious gray pattern gradually appeared in the circle of the square, and the Taiji diagram in Su Ding's brain began to rotate wildly.
A strange aura appeared out of thin air, and everyone could clearly sense that some indescribable power was enveloping the world.
Countless townspeople wept bitterly and even fell to their knees.
The most terrifying thing about mystery is that in addition to protecting you, it can also affect your mind, and even make you gradually crazy and become a slave to secret.
Su Ding could see that at least half of the people were crying not excitedly, but because they were too close to the secret and had a brief loss of mental control.
I guess the business of the clinic will be quite good in the future.
On the ground, mysterious rays of light from four directions streaked a brilliant line on the ground, and layers of clearly visible gray mist appeared from all directions, encircling the entire circular square.
This time, even some people on the platform began to exclaim, and more people had already knelt down respectfully to express their submission, hoping that the power of the demon lord would not let their hearts continue to sink.
And the few townsfolk below were already roaring, roaring.
A scene of demons dancing wildly.
Su Ding found that there were not many people who could still maintain a peaceful mind at this time.
The old man who drank tea, Su San who was reading a book, the mayor who looked like he was asleep with half-squinted eyes, the captain of the guard who looked nervous but was normal, Wei Qingyan and Steward Liu who kept smiling, Wang Fugui who was expressionless, and an old man wearing a torn leather jacket behind Wang Fugui.
The fog completely enveloped the place.
Whispering everywhere, mysteries pervade the air.
A kind of loneliness and horror for no reason came out of my heart.
At this moment, a loud whistle sounded in the sky.
The shaking of the ground began to intensify, and the lifting platform weighing 10,000 tons swayed slightly, and the thrilling sound of metal squeezing brought by each shaking made everyone's hearts tremble.
In the center of the circular square, opposite the lifting platform, a huge metal structure covered with a red cloth rises from the ground and points to the great sky.
Su Ding was dumbfounded, he didn't know that there was such a big thing hidden underground countless times from here.
This is the idol of the Grey Mist Boss.
At this time, the townsfolk finally woke up from the endless mystery.
Everyone unanimously looked at the platform opposite the statue.
The white man who presided over the auspicious ceremony turned around, with a strange and confused smile on his face, as if he had lost control.
His originally shrill voice suddenly became as strong as metal: "The sacrifices of all people have been placed, now please ask the merchants who worship the demon lord to offer their piety." ”
Su Ding felt a lot of staring gazes.
There's curiosity, there's banter, there's ridicule.
Wang Ergang of the steel workshop got up first, he carefully took a small box from the hand of the man who followed, and then held the bottom of the box with both hands, bowed his head and walked forward respectfully.
Walk to the edge of the platform and gently lower it, then open it.
Inside was a badly worn, rusty part.
When the mayor saw it, he chuckled and said, "The heart guard of the second generation armor of the forbidden army is a very early exoskeleton armor." ”
Wang Ergang nodded hurriedly and said, "Mayor Zhen has good eyesight, this heart guard is the heart guard of a certain Praetorian Guard warrior when the Janissary Army quelled the Baiyue Rebellion on the southwest border thirty years ago, and it is stained with the blood of the warriors. ”
The mayor of the town approving: "It is the spirit and blood of the warriors who protect the country, and after desecration, they will definitely be able to please the demon lord." ”
Su Ding looked at Wei Qingyan, but found that she was not abnormal.
sighed in his heart, it seems that everything that Old Man Wei has done is unknown after all.
At this time, the person in charge of the auspicious ceremony was already loudly announcing the sacrifices and meanings of the steel workshop, and many people below let out exclamations.
Thirty years ago, warrior items are indeed rare.
Wang Ergang hesitated for a moment, but then continued: "Master Wang, the town chief, there is a reluctant invitation from the small shop this time, and I hope the two adults can agree." ”
The mayor smiled cutely: "Boss Wang is polite, I am just watching Jili, and it is up to you to decide what you do." ”
Wang Fugui was very simple: "Say." ”
"In fact, this time the shop plans to cooperate with Boss Liu Dewang to sacrifice, let Boss Liu explain what it is. ”
Liu Dewang got up, first bowed flatteringly to Wang Fugui and the mayor, and then carried a large box up by three people, which seemed to be not light.
Su Ding was a little curious, what was hidden in this thing?
Liu Dewang said: "Two adults, I bought this thing from Baiyue with great effort. ”
The mayor smiled curiously, "What is this?"
There is an iron lock made of a seal on the chest.
Liu Dewang opened the iron lock carefully, and the seal flashed slightly.
The lid is lifted.
There was a burst of exclamations from the audience.
Even Wang Fugui, who had been expressionless, showed a hint of surprise.
Liu Dewang was very satisfied with the current effect, and he said proudly and respectfully: "This is the remains of the 200,000 soldiers of the southwest border army who died in battle that I bought from Baiyue at a high price, but unfortunately the head has been sacrificed by Baiyue at that time, leaving only half of the body." The bones of the strong man and the heart goggles are believed to be sure to satisfy the Lord of the Gray Mist. ...... like this"
Bang.
A crisp sound interrupted Liu Dewang's words.
Su Ding grinned: "Boss Liu, go on, I accidentally broke the cup." ”
Liu Dewang rolled his eyes, and said in his heart for a while, how can you, a broken household that has lost favor, still have the face to sit on it.
He continued, "This ......"
Crash.
Interrupted again.
Liu Dewang looked at Su Ding angrily: "What are you doing?"
Su Ding held the debris in confusion: "I'm afraid of sticking my feet, clean up the debris!"
Liu Dewang sneered: "I think you are afraid that the Lord of the Gray Mist of Jili will not respond for a while, and you are afraid in your heart, right?"
Su Dinghehe: "Who said that the Lord of the Gray Mist didn't respond to me? A few days ago, the big guy almost asked me to go down to drink tea with his old man, don't you know?"
Liu Dewang was speechless, there were people who were so brazen.
If you don't have any resistance, you'll faint!
Liu Dewang glanced at the old Xuantou who was silent while drinking tea, gritted his teeth and said, "Boy, you are the apprentice of the old Xuanshen Doctor, it stands to reason that I will call you Xiao Su Langzhong." But today is the town's blessing gift, and we only talk about favoring and nothing else. If your Su family loses favor this time, don't blame me Liu Dewang for stealing your family's business without mercy. ”
Su Dinghehe: "Boss Liu is so confident?"
Liu Dewang raised his eyebrows: "Don't believe it?"
"Okay!" Wang Fugui suddenly spoke: "Receiving blessings is an old rule set for many years, whoever receives more favor will prove that whoever has the best seal parts in the future, will naturally get orders and get the support of the mayor and me." Boss Liu's sacrifice is announced, go on. ”
