Chapter 17: Blood Sacrifice

Arriving at the sentry post, Sylvanas had not yet returned, and Shane opened the passage to enter by himself.

If Sylvanas asked, he would say bluntly, "Yes, I have mastered runestone technology and can open passages on my own." So what, Aurelia's plan is already half the battle. In fact, even if it is concealed, the indentation caused by the puppet Tiger at the door will arouse suspicion

Windranger and Dawnblade are natural rivals! Shane has been isolated these days, and some understand why the seniors would summarize the relationship between the two clans in one sentence, without a third party to insert space, and the obsession of the four seas is difficult to peace.

"Wenresa is an exception".

Sean misses the female elf who stole food in his yard, and it is estimated that there will be no contact until he returns to Silvermoon City.

The defensive barricade was opened again, and Sylvanas returned. As usual, they didn't pay attention to Shane, and Shane was at ease. The indentation at the door, Sylvanas didn't mention it, and Shane didn't say it.

"Eye of Truth, how much pure energy can be absorbed to reach the promotion standard?"

"Absorb five times the pure energy of today, to the bare minimum standard."

The Five Rings can have a mage tower outside of Silvermoon City, and although it will be a lot of money, it will always be used when the time comes. Place, I don't know where the Royal Mage Corps will arrange for him to go.

"Consumers, Discovery Monitors"

"Ignore it" surveillance has become the order of the day.

"It's the Sylvanas female elf that the user cares about, and she's watching the user."

The Eye of Truth displays Sylvanas' image in the brain. She was looking at Shane through the window, far away, and used the Eagle Eye technique. A smile hung on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were playful, and his ears trembled slightly like Wenresa.

"She's still suspicious?" Shane's hands didn't stop, he cooked delicious food as usual, and he didn't forget to blow the aroma of the food to the Ranger's side. The rangers were patient, and Sean knew they were waiting, waiting for the day when they ran out of ingredients, but it didn't bother him, and he had a way to get them.

"The device believes that the user should communicate with the female Elves of Sylvanas to clear up misunderstandings. After probabilistic analysis, it is likely to succeed because the user succeeds in arousing the curiosity of the other party. ”

"Why"

"She's also one of the user's male romances."

"Shut up"

"Understood"

At night, the light of the Arcane shines in and out of the outposts, and the defensive barriers use the energy of the leylines to isolate the outposts from the forest through rune stones embedded in the ground, and the environment inside is as pleasant as that of Quel'Salas.

The hot liquid glass floated in front of Shane, and under his control, the glass was molded into a convex lens, and the frost technique on his hand kept cooling the glass.

The plan to build a stargazing observatory was slowly underway, and every night he would melt some magic glass and shape it into a convex lens. The knowledge of physics learned in his previous life has not forgotten the light, and he once made his own 100x astronomical telescope. In this life, because of the relationship between magic and the world, he wants to make the telescope magnification to 500 times, and the objective lens must be 500mm.

'The true function of arcane is to explore the truth of the world,' the Mentor had said to Shane, and he believed his teachings.

After cooling, it was scanned with the Eye of Truth, and the accuracy and clarity were all up to standard, and it was received in the magic pocket. Today's work is done, and Shane sleeps.

Since Sylvanas didn't mention going out to Shane, the solo troll hunt wouldn't stop. As the sun rose, Sean waited for Sylvanas to get out of the sentry post, and then went out himself an hour later.

As soon as he got out of the barrier, he noticed two elves nearby.

"It's the watchman left behind by Sylvanas." Shane thought. The Wraith Land is in the wooded season, and the layers of broad leaves are the best cover for the rangers, and the two elves hide in the trees, just as they see Shane open the magic barrier and come out of it.

"Shake them off, or knock them out?"

"It is advisable for the user to stun them, as wherever we go, they will follow the indentation of the puppet Tiger and may have a negative effect on the user's hunting plans."

If Shane cultivates the Confusion Control School, he can use the Human Immobilization Technique to immobilize the two rangers and slowly concoct them. But if he doesn't learn it, the method will be violent. The puppet Tiger rushed to the two rangers' hideouts, immobilized them with an ice ring before they fled, knocked them out one by one, and threw them back into the barricade.

One of them shouted before fainting, "It's this trick again." ”

It's the one named Luo or something, Sean can remember his looks, but he can't remember his name.

The soft mud of the Wraith Lands not only exposes Shane's traces, but Sylvanas also leaves a large number of chocobo footprints on the ground. It is easy to judge the patrol direction of the rangers from the footprints, and it is easy to avoid the rangers' patrol routes by choosing different directions at key forks.

Bloodstains, a lot of dried blood. Shane found a troll camp with blood stains and ruins, broken spears, and arrowheads. I didn't see any elven creations, the trolls did it themselves. Judging by the extent of the destruction of the camp, the losers had nothing left. Shane subconsciously covered his nose, and the air was filled with the stench of hexism left behind by the battle spell.

"Eyes of Truth, can you estimate the number of trolls?"

"Judging by the size of the camp, the number of trolls on the losing side is about three hundred, and judging by the bloodstains, the death toll on both sides is about one hundred. The total number of people fighting on both sides ranged from several hundred to a thousand. ”

"Tracking"

The trolls didn't have the slightest intention of hiding the bloodstains, and fresh blood stains kept coming in on the way. The sun sets, the moon rises, and there are surprisingly no troll sentinels on the way.

Ahead was a valley, the dull sound of leather drums and the smell of blood was disgusting. Shane conceals himself with a ring of concealment, observing the troll camp from the hill. The trolls were sacrificing, countless trolls dancing around the fire, and dozens of cauldrons erupted white foam. The tallest building in the valley is a brown stone platform. Three masked priests wielded their staffs and commanded the captives to be pressed down.

"Blood Sacrifice!"

Prisoners in groups of twelve, they were pressed to the top of the altar by the troll warriors, as if appointed, without a struggle. The executioner used a giant axe to chop off the heads one by one. Blood poured out of the severed neck, and there was no leakage, all of which flowed into the grooves carved out of the edges. The blood ran down the grooves, outlining a labyrinthine picture, and finally pooled in the middle of the altar to form a pool of blood.

With each group killed, the trolls resounded through the valley.

The number of living sacrifices grew, and a scarlet mist rose from the altar. The mist was very uncomfortable for Shane, and if the arcane energy animalization was a mana dragon, then the scarlet mist was maggots, maggots that rotted all over their bodies.

The trolls slaughtered twelve groups of captives before the entire sacrifice entered the **. The three priests knelt down and prayed to a certain god, and before long, the blood mist suddenly contracted, and a small blood-red hole opened in the air, sucking the mist in. At this moment, all the trolls bowed in the direction of the altar and chanted a certain name in unison: "Aragu Yusa"

"Spatial interference has been detected, and a divine being has responded to the call to receive a troll sacrifice."

Sean frowned, the sacrificial process was very disgusting just to look at: "Are their gods immortals?" ”

"No, no large-scale interference has been detected here."

Towards the end of the sacrifice, the head was stacked on top of the altar while the corpses were distributed to the tribesmen. They're going to eat! Dozens of cauldrons were used to cook corpses. Opened the intestines and cleaned the internal organs, and the high-ranking trolls scooped the bloody water from the pool of blood and drank it heavily.

Later, Shane didn't look any further, there were more than 600 people in the Troll Valley from civilians to sacrifices, and there were only three sacrifices, more than 100 warriors, and two troll berserkers with combat power.

"All creatures will let their guard down after they are full, and the user will attack in the second half of the night, and the chance of winning is more than seventy percent."
