Chapter 22: The Admirer of Cthulhu

Previously, Dane was in the Ghost Knife Harbor camp, helping with camp construction. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Info suddenly saw a flare flying in the distance, which was in the direction of the outpost where Golobo was.

The flare of the Dread Mercenary Group has two specifications, one is to call for help, and the other is to warn.

Asking for help means: I have enemies here, there are not many of them, there are no more, no less, I can't eat alone, I can do it with a little help.

The warning means: a large number of enemies are coming to you through me, I can't handle it, you can do it yourself!

At that time, he saw the signal flare sent by Golobo calling for help, and without hesitation, he rushed over with an entire squadron. Twenty minutes away, he met the group of twenty or so faceless beings who were coming on his way. Without saying much, Dane roared angrily and led the charge. Golobo, who was following behind all the way, also took the opportunity to lead people to kill from behind, and under the attack from both sides, he had a big advantage in numbers, and quickly annihilated this faceless team.

This kind of monster, which has never been heard of on the mainland, is actually difficult to deal with. Their strength is very strong, although they are unarmed and have no armor on their bodies, but those two thick tentacles are a headache. Once entangled in their tentacles, it becomes very difficult to break free. In Dain's team, there was a mercenary who accidentally got entangled in his neck, and although he was rescued immediately, in just an instant, the human mercenary's neck was already broken.

This discovery made Dane's brows tighten. If the ghost-feared mercenaries and this kind of monster are one-on-one, they may not necessarily win, and they will even face certain disadvantages.

He had personally severed the head of a faceless corpse, but what was supposed to be just an act of venting his anger gave him an unexpected bonus.

In his field of vision, a tooltip popped up: "You have obtained the 'Head of the Worshipper of Cthulhu', sacrifice it to the gods, and you will receive an unknown reward." ”

"Cthulhu admirers? Is it the name of this monster? Dane thought with a frown, and at the same time, he was surprised by the pop-up box.

He had tried countless times to summon the game interface of "Hearts of Dynasty" in the real world, but he had not succeeded even once. There is only one way for him to see the game interface, and that is to find a safe place, close his eyes, and imagine that he is sitting on the chair in the Imperial Tower, and then, when he opens his eyes, his mind appears in the Imperial Tower, and the game interface will naturally appear in front of him.

But in the real world, he can't summon the game interface, and even anything related to the heart of the dynasty never appears. And this tip is the only time.

This made him quite interested in the head of the so-called 'Crusu admirer' that he was carrying. Obviously, this must be a very important thing, otherwise, "The Heart of the Dynasty", which has never appeared in reality, would not suddenly jump out of such a prompt.

It's just that the so-called sacrifice, Dane doesn't understand what it means.

Sacrifice, in general, is a religious term. But...... Hell, Dane himself has never believed in any gods, and religion has something to do with him?

The world of Orodic is a world where gods exist. The most obvious manifestation of this is that among the complex religious sects on the mainland, the vast majority of them profess to believe in the true God, and almost most of the slightly larger religions show signs of the spirit of God every once in a while. Moreover, many, many people claim to have listened to the teachings of the gods.

But Dane was the unbeliever. Although, almost every religion is propagating that believers will return to the kingdom of the gods after death, every believer has its rightful home. And the unbeliever, who has no kingdom to go to after death, will be taken to the wallβ€”nailed to the wall of the unbeliever, and will not be reborn forever until his soul is gone.

Dane was actually quite afraid, although this was a legend, but he was really afraid that his soul would be taken to the wall after he died. However, there was no need to rush this thing, he wasn't going to make a decision so quickly until he had chosen what kind of god he wanted to believe inβ€”he still had a long, long time to live, anyway. It's really not good, when it's time to die, it's not a big deal to find a random god and be his pan-believer.

The question, then, becomes: As an unbeliever, to whom is he going to sacrifice this head? Moreover, this sacrifice prompt was sent by the game system of "Hearts of Dynasty", can he sacrifice to the gods of Orodic casually?

There's no way to solve this problem for the time being, but there's no doubt that the head of this monster is quite important. So, Dane issued an order: "Cut off the heads of all this monster, and we will take these things back as trophies!" Hmph, I'd like to see how many Faceless Beings there are on this island that we can kill! ”

The crowd shouted yes, and Dane and his men dragged the heads of the Faceless Ones strung with tentacles back to Ghost Knife Harbor.

……

Over the course of two days, Dane harvested more than thirty Faceless heads. This means that more than thirty monsters named 'Admirers of Cthulhu' by the Hearts of Dynasty system have died at the hands of the Dread Mercenaries.

Dane didn't know if the tribe of the Faceless had discovered himself or not, he hoped not, and it didn't seem to be. Dain gave a death order, once traces of the Faceless Ones are found around the Ghost Knife Harbor, then no matter how much effort is expended, all the Faceless Ones found must be killed. Golobo, who was in charge of guarding the outpost, was also asked to kill every faceless one who approached from the east, and if he was not sure that he would be wiped out, then he should not do anything, just send a signal and wait for help.

All in all, just one strategy: everyone who sees us with their own eyes must die.

This strategy greatly allows the traces of Dane and others to be well hidden. The Faceless Settlements were apparently not particularly well organized, and after losing more than thirty men in a row, they still hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary. This is not an incredible thing, on the deserted island of Komya, the Faceless have no enemies, they often form groups of a few or a dozen, leaving the settlement to wander around, and it is not a great thing to wander around for ten days and half a month. Their loose organizational form also gave Dane a lot of advantage.

But this will not last long, and the faceless ones, no matter how slow they may be, will realize the gravity of the problem if they have a little wisdom in their heads, as long as they continue to lose people - and in the same area. Dane never expected to be able to hide for much longer under the noses of these Faceless Ones. All he wanted was to delay discovery as long as possible. He needs time to build two territories, and as long as his construction work is initially completed, then these monsters will not be taken into account by him!

As for the system prompts about the cultists of Cthulhu and the sacrifices, he kept them in mind, but he didn't pay much attention to them for the time being. What he needs to care more about now is the Divine Guide Tree Tower that has been built, as well as the first batch of elven population extradited from the Divine Guide Tree Tower.

After receiving the message from Sacco, Dane was already in a state of resignation. He instructed Golobo and Delin to protect the Ghost Knife Harbor, and set out on his own journey to Orinedu.

After walking for almost half a day, the tree of life Orinadus, which he hadn't seen for two days, but which made him feel that he hadn't seen for a long time, appeared in his field of vision. Not far away, Sacco was standing at the edge of the grass waiting for him with a dozen mercenaries and six elves.
