Chapter 1637: Transformation in the Battle (Forty-two)

A group of choir children walked towards the assembly hall under the guidance of the congregation. Compared to when I came here, there seemed to be a lot more decoration in the venue, and the number of candlesticks had doubled. However, it was still quite dark, and the smell of incense in the air was getting worse, irritating Husky's nose very unpleasantly. The canine boy endured the pungent scent while looking around absentmindedly, trying to find the figure of the previous aunt from the crowd that kept gathering. That was the only clue he had to find his dadby, and he couldn't miss it anyway.

The Starlight Dragon, who was hiding in Husky's hood, also looked out through the gaps in the rough stitching of the hood, trying to find Kai in the crowd, so as not to be able to immediately identify friend and foe in the ensuing melee.

As the congregation gathered, the assembly began. Someone also played the recorder and strings, and to the rhythm of the music, the choir children began to sing carols. However, this wonderful carol sounds like a kind of trickery that makes people feel cold, the content of the ode does not seem to be in English in the first place, it is estimated that it is Latin, anyway, Husky and Hal don't know anything about the lyrics or the meaning of the song, so they can only follow the other children, learning to lip sync, but in fact, the two orc boys sing without making a sound, or only humming in a low voice.

After the wonderful, lethargic carol, Husky felt like his eyelids were about to fall. Fortunately, the high priest of the church who was the abbot of the assembly snorted and silenced the choir, and then the assembly was opened.

"Brothers, sisters, good afternoon. The high priest of the church spoke in a dignified tone: "It's time for the weekly assembly again." First of all, let us praise the Lord of Silence and all that lies in the darkness and depths. Pray, children, and may silence and tranquility surround us, and let us find peace in the darkness of the night. ＂

"May silence and tranquility surround us, and let us find peace in the darkness of the night. The congregation followed as if they were reading.

"May the wisdom of silence illuminate us, and let us walk in the darkness without fear. The high priest said again.

"May the wisdom of silence illuminate us, and let us walk in the darkness without fear. The congregation continued to speak as if they were reading.

Hiding in Husky's ear and only listening, the evil star couldn't help but wonder in his heart. He didn't have much affection for these religious members in the first place, even if there was nothing wrong with the content of the rally so far. In the history of dragons, in addition to being hunted by dragon hunters in ancient times, there are several religious groups in humans who call themselves dragon hunters and seek trouble with dragons. Even after the dragons are hidden and no longer have any conflicts of interest with humans, these guys still make trouble with the dragons from time to time. There are at least ten dragon-hunting Templars who broke into the dragon's lair of the Evil Star for various reasons a long time ago and wanted to hunt the Starlight Dragon (which was still the Red Fire Dragon at the time). The number of Templars killed by the Evil Star is estimated to be in the triple digits.

One of the most annoying things about these dragon-hunting Templars is that they don't know how to give up. Knowing that they couldn't defeat the Star Light Dragon (Red Fire Dragon), the religious lunatics still attacked in an endless stream, watching themselves scorched by the flames, but praising their gods that didn't even exist.

So, human beings are really stupid.

Even in an era when science is advanced and there are no gods, some stupid and weak people still want to believe in gods that do not exist at all, but are only fabricated by human beings themselves. This is the same as a group of unclothed fools huddled together in winter to keep warm.

Those madmen think that they believe in a god that will lead to eternal life and salvation, but they only focus on an uncertain event in the distant future, ignoring the present. Even the evil star who is just a dragon knows that people live in the moment. But why do some people just don't understand? No, it's not that they don't understand, maybe it's just because they're desperate and can't do anything about the current situation, so they are seeking in vain fantasies, hoping that they can really be redeemed in the distant future, right?

But had the Templars who had been charred by the flames of the Evil Star ever been saved?

As if hearing something, the High Priest's brow furrowed.

"Now, offer your pure blood and pray for the blessing of the Great Lord of Silence. The high priest said.

Some of the cultists began to patrol the crowd, and the stupid congregants stretched out their arms one by one, allowing the patrolling disciples to cut their palms with daggers. The dagger cut through people's palms, and the wound was not really deep. But the dagger seemed to be coated with some kind of venom that prevented the wound from healing, so the small cut in the palm of the person kept bleeding, and the blood dripped on the floor, and along the small pit in the floor, all the while trying to gather in the center of the assembly hall. Even Husky and Hal stretched out their arms as if they were enchanted at this time, allowing their palms to be cut and blood flowing.

This is...... Is it some kind of blood donation ritual?" Evil Star frowned, something seemed to be wrong. But judging from the plot so far, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly wrong. Although the church did take blood from the hands of the congregants, it was not a lot, and the star looked at the wound on Husky's palm, and after about a third of the blood flowed, it stopped.

"Aren't you in pain?" asked Starlight in a whisper in the canine boy's ear. Husky didn't answer, as if the timing was not the right time to answer the star. The choir children were all lined up in the center of the room, and in full view, Husky would be exposed when he talked nonsense.

But even if this kid doesn't speak, he should always give a reaction. Starlight was very upset with Husky's unreasonable attitude, and he mischievously bit the canine boy's ear.

Of course, now that the star has shrunk to the size of a gecko, this bite will not hurt too much, at most it will only be a pinprick pain. Evil Star was originally going to teach Husky a lesson, who let that kid ignore Evil Star at all? But the problem is, Evil Star bit Husky like this, and the canine boy still didn't react at all, as if he didn't feel pain at all. Was it because he didn't bite hard enough? The slightly dissatisfied Starlight Dragon opened his mouth and bit Husky again.

Still no response. Husky's ears seemed to be anesthetized.

No, it's not. Evil Star began to feel uneasy. Husky, and even the congregation at the scene, I am afraid that they were all hypnotized!

Is it the smoke that ignites in this venue?

Or is there a hypnotic hypnotic language in the sleepy prayer that the high priest kept reciting during the assembly?

But then the question arises: why wasn't Shaser hypnotized? Was it because he was a dragon and had a strong resistance to hypnosis? Or was it because he was so distracted by something else that he didn't hear the high priest's prayers? There must have been a lot of passage in that long and boring prayer --

In any case, the situation is very bad.

There were about thirty hypnotized congregants in the venue, and the rest of the people who were not hypnotized were church officials and internal people. These guys have put the cultists in a hypnotic state that allows them to manipulate at will, even using knives to cut their palms to collect blood, and the ignorant cultists are unaware of it, and will even reach out to let someone collect blood. Seeing this, the evil star can basically identify this as a cult organization. The problem is that they haven't done anything but collect blood, and it is estimated that Kai will have to wait a little longer if he wants to get information from this cult.

What should I do? Is it right now to rush out and kill all the cultists? Does Kai have any other plans? If the evil star acts like this, Kai's plan will probably be ruined. And Husky came to the gold worshipper to ask about his father from the gold worshipper, if the evil star made a big mess in the venue, the woman would either escape, or be implicated in the attack of the evil star and die, and Husky would probably make a fuss afterwards.

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Starlight Dragon's forehead. No way. I can't do it yet. Keep watching for a while. When the two children are really in danger, it's not too late for the evil star to start killing again.

So, Starlight Dragon Evil Star forced himself to be patient and wait and see.

He had planned to see what new tricks the cultists were going to play next in the assembly, and what bad things he was going to do to the hypnotized cultists. However, after the high priest had finished reciting a few inconsequential prayers, the cult assembly ended in this way.

"Good. The high priest snorted and instructed the church officials present, "Take these people down and let them suck up the agarwood of God, and then give them food and send them away." The rally went smoothly and we would like to thank them for their cooperation. ＂

What?—and the star was even more puzzled, as if he had been struck in the head by a hammer.

Since this is a gathering of cultists, there must be something more "exciting" next, right? For example, the gods who first worship the living human sacrifices, or the evil gods who summon and devour innocent people, and so on. Shouldn't this be the nature of cultists?

But why, is it all over here? Shatterstar feels insulted by his intelligence. The cultists just took a little blood from everyone, and the amount of blood didn't even reach a critical health level, and this cult assembly ended in such a boring way?!

"Ah," but the star was still too worried, and the high priest gave Husky and Hal a second glance as he retreated, and began to die: "These two little imps...... Is it an orc?"
