Chapter 256: The Ritual of Worshipping the Gods
The poster features four gilded characters for the gods, and below are the portraits of four gods, Rawls, the god of rivers and lakes, Woking, the goddess of wealth, Dakor, the god of travel and exploration, and Temorrah, the goddess of luck.
Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, since they live on the rain and the lake, of course there is no problem in sacrificing Rawls, as merchants, Woking and Sandakor will of course pray, and the lucky Temorrah can also be on the side.
But if you put the four gods together and sacrifice them, aren't you afraid of causing the opposite effect?
glanced at the time, it was today, and the organizer was the host of the station, Huaihe Business Alliance, well, it was really full of Chinese style.
It's so complaining, but this kind of excitement can still be made up, especially Maghe, the old man who has shown a lack of interest all the way shows his curiosity for the first time.
The venue of the celebration is the merchant ship docking point in Yuxia Lake, and neither players nor NPCs have ever seen such a sacrifice to the gods, so the onlookers have surrounded the dock into three layers.
By the time Sherlock squeezed in, Waujin and Temorrah had finished their sacrifice, and it was Sandakor's turn.
I saw a middle-aged man with a big belly followed by four tall female elves in cheongsam, and walked to a pillar covered with red cloth.
After a round of nonsense, the four elves ripped open the red cloth, revealing a huge perforated stone pillar.
Then, not far away, a mage's gale spell blew, causing the surrounding air current, and a low sound like a trumpet came from the hole in the stone pillar.
The previous unveiling ceremony was already nonsense enough, but I didn't expect the subsequent development to be even more unexpected.
Sherlock, the temple of Sandakor, has seen in video footage that the perforated stone pillars in it emit an ethereal and melodious sound when exposed to strong winds, and several of them can be combined according to certain rules to compose a single song.
There's only one in front of you, but if you imitate it a little, this timbre can be said to be blasphemous.
Sherlock was busy complaining about the Huaihe Business Alliance's behavior, but he didn't notice Makje standing beside him, and the look on his face suddenly became solemn.
The next symphony was very serious, and it seemed to be a real orchestra, but he had never appreciated the rhythm, and if it weren't for a few violin beauties in the orchestra, he would have fallen asleep.
After the sacrifice to Sandakor, it was Korors, the god of rivers and lakes, and the process was not much more interesting than the previous one, but the next activity aroused Sherlock's interest.
The Huaihe Merchant Alliance actually held a diving competition, they would release a water demon bat in the rain mite lake, whoever can catch it first will win the final victory, and the prize is a high-rarity pet egg, or 100,000 gold coins.
Forget about pet eggs, but 100,000 gold coins, he really can't refuse this reward, he has a blue frog transformation, and he really hasn't been afraid of anyone in the water.
The event finally caused a commotion in the crowd, and players and NPCs who wanted to participate in the tournament came out one after another.
That's right, this event is organized by the players themselves, and the Huaihe Business Alliance only requires participants to be below level 30, and they can't attack others, as for race, occupation, identity, etc., there are no regulations.
100,000 gold coins is very tempting to players, and the same is true for the vast majority of NPCs, the civilians on the Feron continent will never be able to touch this amount of money in their lifetime, even ordinary professionals, 100,000 gold coins are enough for them to fight for life.
However, for the Huaihe Business Alliance, 100,000 gold coins is really just a trivial matter, and the appearance fee of that symphony orchestra is more than this price, not to mention this perforated stone pillar that has just been excavated from the temple.
In the end, thousands of contestants crowded on the edge of the dock and followed the water devil bat to the bottom.
The Demon Bat is a small elemental creature born from the basic elements, and their nature depends on the origin of their element, and there are currently fourteen known to be composed of different elements.
Born in water or rain, the water devil bat is a dexterous creature with an undiminished sense of humor, they can sometimes make you laugh and sometimes make you nervous, and you need to be nervous enough to get along with them.
Since it is in the name of water, the ability of the water demon bats to move in the water is naturally not bad, in the water, their speed can be maintained for a long time at about 30 feet per second, and now they are put into the water two seconds earlier, this gap directly eliminated 95% of the players.
At the front, in addition to Sherlock in the form of a blue frog, there is also a druid player who transforms into a fork-tailed ferret, a warlock player who gives birth to fish gills and fins, and a warrior NPC who swims purely by his own strength
Although the remaining 46ers still bite them tightly for a short time, if there is no secret hole card trick or something, it is only a matter of time before they are thrown away.
In less than five minutes, all the people behind Sherlock were gone, and even the warlock who had been with them before had chosen to give up due to his inability to follow.
Seeing that there were only two competitors left, the three people present also began to show their true abilities.
The druid player who transformed into a fork-tailed weasel was the first to attack, and the fork-tailed weasel was also an agile creature, and its movement speed under the water was no slower than that of the water demon bat, and at this time, the two forked tails turned quickly, and the body sped up violently by the reaction force of the water.
The warrior was not willing to die, but his changes were much more terrifying, his skin became red, the scales covered his limbs, and the two horns that grew from his forehead.
This change is somewhat similar to Sherlock's previous dragon transformation, but you can see the slight difference between the two by looking at yourself, the most obvious is the horn on the forehead, the dragon's horn does not look like this.
The two of them exerted force one after another, and Sherlock did not spare his hand, tearing open an acceleration scroll, and the tongue curled in his mouth was also thrown out.
The red, yellow, and blue beams shot straight away, and in a moment, they caught up with the water demon bat not far in front of them, and the two hands and a tongue reached out almost at the same time and touched the body of the water demon bat.
Then with a flash of white light, the three of them were teleported to the shore where the celebration was held by a teleportation spell, and the game was over at this moment.
The people of the Huaihe Merchant Alliance actually had a constant range teleportation technique on a water demon bat, and Sherlock could only sigh at the trench that this guild embodied all the time.
