Chapter 37: The Egg of the Faceless
Dane stared at a ball of meat in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Four hours earlier, Dane had set out from Ghost Knife Harbor with his troops toward the eastern freshwater lake, intending to wipe out the Faceless Settlement. After several hours of marching, they quickly reached their destination and also found the Faceless tribe near the Freshwater Lake.
There are only a few dozen faceless ones who have escaped from Ghost Knife Harbor, and they are not a threat to the army led by Dane. Even if they were still trapped in the beast, when Dane and Lanstrow took the lead, using thirty sword dancers as arrows, and attacked the charge of two hundred mercenaries, those faceless ones did not survive even a single face-to-face effort, and were instantly defeated.
There is no need to repeat the process of the battle, all in all, the result is that none of these sleepless people who escaped from the Ghost Knife Harbor survived in the end, and all died at the hands of Dane.
After eliminating all of the Facelesss, Dane led his party into the Faceless settlement, intending to see if they could collect some loot.
These Faceless Ones still seem to have their own civilization. In this settlement, which had been slaughtered by Dane and the others, Dane saw buildings that looked like houses.
Although Dain couldn't believe that these round, seemingly organic things, were his conceptual 'houses', he had to admit that this was where the Faceless lived when he looked inside and found things like beds, tables, chairs, and the like.
The loot was not found, but something very special was found: these balls of meat in front of Dane.
The ball was about half a human tall, oval-shaped egg-shaped, and its purple-red color looked quite eerie. On the surface of the meat ball, there are small granulations that grow out like barbs, and mucus is secreted from the granulations. Overall, this meat ball is disgusting to watch.
Dane, who had never seen anything before, asked, "Can anyone tell me what the hell this is?" ”
Delin, who was on the side, pulled out his arrow from the head of the faceless man he shot in the head, and casually replied, "It's an egg." ”
"Eggs, you're big!" The orc Golobo scolded as he spoke, but at the same time gave his own answer, "It's a tumor, like a human being who is sick and grows from his body, I have seen it in my previous tribe, and it looks like it." ”
Sacco said solemnly: "You two, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. Old Mr. Faro, you have seen a lot of things, come and see, what is this? ”
Faro, who walked not far away with a wooden staff, approached the meat ball in front of Dain's eyes, looked at it carefully, and reached out to touch it twice, but his hands were covered with slime.
Dane looked disgusted and couldn't help but stay away from him. Fallo himself, unimpressed, wiped the slime off the brown robe on his body, and then said to Dane, "This should really be an egg." ”
"Haha!" Before Dane could speak, Golobo on the side burst out laughing, and the brainless orc said to Delin, "It's still your luck that you're right." ”
Delin shrugged, not going to see this guy at all.
Golobo didn't find it boring, Delin's casual appearance of not caring about anything, he had long been used to it.
Dane said, "Golobo, open this egg, and let us see what is hatching inside this egg." ”
This kind of thing, Golobo likes to do the most. He smirked and raised his axe, walked up to the half-man-tall meat egg, mustered up his strength, and with a single axe, he split the barbed, purple-blue half-man-tall meat egg in two. Large puffs of slime sprayed out of the shaved flesh and eggs, splashing Golobo.
"Bah, ......" Golobo hurriedly retreated, this mucus was not poisonous, but it had a foul smell, and the sticky sticky sticky to his body was very disgusting.
Not bothering to care about this reckless fellow, Dane saw a scene that surprised him: he saw that in the flesh egg that had been cut in half, there was a creature curled up, as if it was a faceless one shrunken one!
"What a!" Delin leaned over from the side and said in amazement, "I didn't expect those faceless ones to be born from this kind of egg, no wonder, I can't see any gender differences from their settlements." ”
Sacco said, "This is the Realm of Sin, Dane, and I suggest we destroy all the flesh and eggs, lest a new Faceless One be born out of it." ”
His proposal was quite plausible, and Dane was planning to do it. However, Faro on the side had a different opinion.
Just listen to the druid say: "Collect these things and keep them, all the adult Facelings have been killed by us, and these meat eggs are probably not hatched." And, as I told you earlier, Dane, these Faceless Ones are supposed to be worshippers of some evil god, and these meat eggs are good sacrifices to the gods of the good camp, and they will be useful. ”
"Huh?" Dane remembered that when he cut off the head of the Faceless One, he had also received a prompt from the system that it was the 'head of the Worshipper of Cthulhu', which was a sacrificial item. In this case, this thing may really be useful.
So, Dane decided to keep all the meat and eggs.
No one would question his orders, and soon, all the unhatched meat and eggs throughout the Faceless colony were collected, strung together with hemp rope, and ready to be taken back to the warehouse in Ghost Knife Harbor.
Now, there are not a few sacrifices in Dane's hands. After a few battles, he had accumulated more than two hundred heads of Cthulhu worshippers, and together with these eggs, there were about three hundred sacrifices in total. It wasn't a problem to keep these things, he had to find a way to use them.
This method also has to be decided from Orina. He remembered that there was one building in Orinedu's list that should help him: the Temple.
As you can tell from the name, the temple must be related to the construction of faith. Originally, Dane didn't pay much attention to faith building - he hadn't even solved the problem of his own safety, so what kind of faith did he think? Moreover, he himself is a complete unbeliever.
However, now that he had to think about using up the sacrifices, the temple had to be built. He had a vague feeling that there would be surprises waiting for him.
