Chapter 306: The Blasphemer
No, I definitely can't get caught here! β
John Dana touched his left eye, and with a fierce heart, he turned his head and ran to the other side.
It leads to the center of Lancaster, where the city guards are most numerous, and now that most of the residents have gone to the western suburbs to watch the game, the bustling streets have become empty and deserted, unable to blend in with the crowds, and the effect of the dyed balls has rendered John Dana's stealth illusion useless, and running there at such times is undoubtedly self-defeating.
At this time, the three Leahs, who were chasing after them, also got out of the sewers and ran into several players who had promised to help them contain the cult leader John on the forum.
"That direction...... In the end, he went around and ran to the embassy where the new emperor's envoy was placed...... "Edward couldn't help but be amazed at how things had turned.
"It's just a matter of panic, and there's no choice under it. After all, that guy's purpose doesn't seem to have anything to do with the new emperor's envoy. Moreover, the new emperor's envoy himself has guards, so he shouldn't worry too much. That guy can't escape. Manny lifted his helmet and took a big gulp of air, looking panicked: "Compared to this, does anyone know that the blacksmiths in the blacksmith shop in the novice village can help modify the size of the armor?" I seem to have gotten a little stronger lately......"
Edward looked at his belly speechlessly, not breaking it in the spirit of not offending the owner of the mission.
"No, we have to stop him as soon as possible!"
But Princess Leah uncharacteristically showed a serious expression: "Have you forgotten what he said before?" β
"What......" Edward was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted: "You mean, the 'Devouring City Sacrifice Array' he mentioned?" But isn't that unfinished, his ritual site has already been discovered and destroyed by us......"
"I used to learn a little heraldry, and the so-called sacrificial array is essentially a kind of magic array, which contains part of heraldry...... My teacher once said that the core part of a formation is often very simple, and then most of the things that are added and improved are just the parts that ensure that the array can be activated, maintained, and controlled, and even used to guide and bind the energy in the array or something. β
Princess Leah explained to the players who were following her while chasing in the direction where the cult leader had fled: "The reason why that guy chose to run to the center in this situation, instead of trying to sneak away through our eyes, is definitely because the core part of the sacrificial circle has been completed and can be directly activated by some special means!" β
"Isn't he afraid that the sacrificial array will get out of control?" Edward was stunned.
"After all, this kind of failure that is almost completed but destroyed by unexpected circumstances is more unacceptable than failure from the beginning, and it is not impossible for these cultists to do anything!" The well-informed Manie supported Princess Leia's statement: "It's like holding your pee, it's good to hold it all the time, but once you're halfway through it, it's very uncomfortable to hold it again." β
"I think your metaphor is fundamentally different from the current situation."
Edward complained calmly.
As they spoke, they had already arrived in front of the embassy and saw the cult leader, John Dana, who had climbed directly onto the roof of the embassy from somewhere, and was crawling towards a lightning rod carved into a thunderbird totem in the center.
"Is there anything special about that place?" Edward looked at the other party's behavior and wondered a little: "Could it be that the mechanism that activated the sacrificial array was set up in that kind of place?" β
"It's right in the middle of all of Lancaster!"
At this time, Gerald, who was still the lieutenant of the city, arrived here with his city guards: "Originally, Lancaster was built around the city lord's mansion, but later because the commercial street was more prosperous and expanded faster than the slums and residential areas, the city center became here before you knew it. β
"Gerald, why are you here?"
Manny asked curiously to the boy who had served as his bodyguard, but had not been able to stop his dog.
"I was given the task of the system." Gerald, who has just become a new player, but starts directly from level 15 (in fact, his combat power is roughly equivalent to that of a player around level 25, but Sivi's system has no intelligence, and only looks at basic attributes) replied: "There is a cultist who plans to carry out an evil plan, let me do a ...... to stop something"
"Really...... I was busy chasing that guy just now and didn't find out, so I also received a task! Edward opened the system task page, and saw a new task message.
Side quests investigate and capture the Cultists
"Cultists? Aren't they worshipping the evil god called the Lord of the Great Evil Eye? β
Mane, apparently receiving the same task, muttered strangely after glancing at the system page.
By this time, Gerald had ordered the city guards to line up and began to shoot arrows at the rooftops.
As a commercial city, although the quality of Lancaster's city guards is uneven, and the standard is even lower than the average level of ordinary cities, but the weapons and equipment of the city guards are superior to other cities.
After all, as a commercial city, the city owner Kaoliff is not short of that money......
It didn't take long for John Dana to be hit by three arrows, bleeding profusely, and his whole body looked a lot weaker, as if he would fall from the roof at any moment because he couldn't pick up the tiles.
"Strange...... That guy obviously has level 32, but his real strength is inevitably too weak, right? Edward suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Although the opponent's template is not a boss, or even an elite template, even the most ordinary creature template, level 32 must have stepped into an extraordinary situation, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to be shot by a few arrows......
Just when Edward was wondering, John Dana finally climbed to the top, panting and turning his head to look at the people below, a fearless smile on his face, which was a little pale from excessive blood loss.
"I hate you lackeys of the gods! I hate even more of the so-called gods who only exploit the world! β
"I have seen many families fall prey to the gods for their faith, their families displaced and refugees, and countless innocent people who have been reduced to ashes by the wrath of the gods!"
"There is no reason for the existence of the gods, they have no meaning other than to deprive the world of possibility!"
"Whether it is a mortal, an extraordinary, a human, or an elf, the creatures of this world are like animals raised by them, and everything is in their hands!"
"The gods are the enemy of all living beings in the whole world! They are the cancer of this world! β
His expression grew hysterical, and he pulled out a small and delicate silver knife from the pendant on his chest, grasped the short handle with both hands, and aimed the tip of the knife at his face.
"And I, we! It's going to expel all these high-flying monsters from this world! β
The next moment, the tip of his knife stabbed into the socket of his left eye.
"For the glory of Faniaββ! Silver mistletoe never fadesββ! β
