Chapter 050. Familiar faces in the offerings
The unruly group of thieves from the Ketuf River also looked in shock at the rickety figure on the high platform, especially at the burning fireball in the thin palm of the hand that was floating and spinning against their attempts. The www.biquge.info rumors they had heard in the past subconsciously appeared in their minds, and they couldn't help but slowly take half a step back, and their tones were extremely shocked and whispered softly: "Demon... Enchanter! ”
"High Priest, this is the power given to the High Priest by the God of Drowning!"
The burly figure before was showing a fanatical gaze, he eagerly looked at the fireball in the hand of the rickety figure, his whole body trembled slightly with excitement, he didn't care about the short-handled axe in his hand, and knelt heavily on the ground directly towards the rickety figure, and praised loudly on the ground with great piety: "Great High Priest, you walk on the earth instead of my god, you are the embodiment of my god, spreading the glory of my god." ”
"Spreading the glory of my God!" The surrounding drowning believers were also eagerly looking at the thin figure on the high platform, although they could not see the expression on their faces because of the hood, but they could also feel the faintly crazy religious atmosphere when they heard the voice. Many of them had already knelt down and prayed loudly, as if they were true believers, and bowed to the high priest, and the pious appearance moved even ordinary people.
Even Levi's face had a slight look of amazement, his eyes were firmly fixed on the fireball slowly floating in the high priest's hand, and the fist of the whole person in the trench coat was subconsciously clenched tightly. It was the first time he had seen the power of magic, and even the impact on him had left him in a daze, and his head was as chaotic as flax thread, unable to organize effective thoughts at all. Because when this magic, which seriously violated his scientific values, appeared, Levi's heart suddenly felt a certain sadness for the flintlock pistol pinned to the cowhide belt around his waist.
"This is the power of magic?" Slowly clenching his hands, Levi's knuckles were slightly white, but he looked up at the still burning fireball, floating in the hands of the high priest like a docile bird, and his heart was a little shaken. There is no such thing as such a violation of the law in scientific values, how can such magical power appear in this world when people manipulate fireballs so easily?
"Pull our holy woman up, the will of our god awaits to come."
And on that high platform, the wilted figure waved the fireball back into the bonfire, and with a crackling sound, the fire burned more and more vigorously. But the high priest looked at the road, a carriage was slowly coming, and the dry chin under the hood showed a solemn smile, and the eerie laughter like a night owl reappeared: "Also, present our sacrifice before my gods!" ”
Near the carriage, a burly man walked over, stretched out his hand and carried a linen bag from the carriage behind him to his shoulder, and then walked briskly towards the wooden platform. And there seemed to be something in the bag, which was shaking wildly on the strong man's shoulder, and even the black hood he was pulling to the side a little, and the action was extremely intense.
"A woman, not very old."
First Officer Green nudged behind Levi, and suddenly woke him up who was still frowning and pondering. Levi looked up suddenly, and the sack that the strong man was holding on to was also walking not far from him, and at the same time, the whimpering sound that was obviously a woman continued to come out with the struggle. It seemed that someone had blocked something in his mouth, and even if he was whimpering and roaring, he couldn't hear it really, but First Officer Green still approached Levi, looked at his current state with some solemnity, and asked slowly: "Captain Levi, maybe your current mood is a little unstable." ”
"It's fine." Li Wei exhaled slowly, and his whole expression calmed down, looking at the sack that was carried onto the wooden platform, his face was also a little solemn. The faint opening comforted the first mate Green, and Levi's hand also subconsciously clenched the handle of the flintlock musket in the trench coat, which was the source of strength that brought him. Although he was shocked by the magic, Levi's memories of his previous life also made him quickly come back to his senses in this shocked thought, after all, in his previous life, the earth even had that terrifying atomic bomb, and now he saw such an ordinary fireball, what could he do?
Levi didn't believe that a fireball could be as powerful as a 32-pounder cannon, and he didn't believe that a so-called magician could withstand a salvo of hundreds of cannons. At least he has proved in this world that in a world that is still dominated by cold weapon combat, in the face of his artillery from the modern era of the earth, it still seems to be much behind. And judging from the conventional combat power of this world, at least the artillery and flintlock pistols from Levi are not synonymous with being outdated and weak!
"Hmm... Woooooo
On the stage, the flax bag was violently opened, and the burly strong man directly put a petite woman inside on the stage, allowing her to struggle to climb out of the bag, the whole pretty face was full of horror and tears, looking up at the dim starlight and the strange crowd around him, he was tied hands and feet and struggled more violently, and the gagged mouth was also whining and screaming, and tears were rolling in those two big eyes.
It seems that this is a girl from a good family, about eighteen or nineteen years old, and her white and tender face is also synonymous with beauty, and with that frightened expression, people can't help but feel pity. But the high priest who was lying on his back did not have the so-called mercy, he stretched out his shriveled hand without care, grabbed the white neck and slowly lifted it forward, and the whole person's voice was like a night owl with a terrifying smile: "The holy woman who communicates with my god is willing to sacrifice her life to let the power of my god come down." ”
"Glory! Glory! Glory! ”
The group of drowning believers below also shouted frantically, and their faces under the hood were all fanatical. They didn't care that the woman was now bound and her face was extremely frightened, but they already thought in their hearts that this was a gift from our god to her, and even many people were still praying and envy in their hearts, wanting to become the so-called saint themselves, because they had already become fanatical believers, and they had already lost their minds in the face of faith!
And on the three crosses next to them, the three people who were originally tied to them had also been put down, but they were also carried by the burly strong man on his shoulders and thrown to the edge of the wooden platform like piglets. The three men who were tied to the cross were also removed from their hoods, but they were two young men and an old man, also with ropes tied all over their bodies, and their mouths were stuffed with rags and they wanted to say something.
"Old Harvey?"
But Levi couldn't help frowning slightly, because the old man among them was the old man who was still communicating with him on the dock during the day. Levi would never mistake the old guy who liked to drink more than his own life, and his eyes swept over the two young men next to him, except for an unfamiliar face, the other honest young man also made his brow furrow. He also knew this young man, and Levi looked at the faces of these two people, and couldn't help but say slowly: "Little Soros, who sells silver-plated tableware, and that kind-hearted militiaman?" ”
"The three of them are sinners who have blasphemed my God, and their sins need to be washed away with their blood."
The high priest, who was hunched up, spoke slowly, and a sharp dagger appeared in his hand at some point. The sharp blade had slowly rested on the girl's white neck, and his voice was still hoarse with an eerie coldness: "She came from the city of sinners, the city of gray fog full of depravity and greed, but our god gave her the grace to become a holy woman, to communicate with us in this world, to rain down silver coins, and to lead us to eternal life. ”
The high priest's voice began to read slowly, as if he were speaking the poetic teachings, and his face, hidden under the hood, brought a playful look to the fanatical believers below, and there was a certain disdain in his eyes. The shriveled hand under his black robe was also moving slowly, and some mysterious power also appeared with his hand, but the things that had been calculated made him feel empty, and the high priest's face became distorted, and he turned his head to look at the corner of the wooden platform behind him, only to find that there was nothing.
Anger instantly appeared in his mind, and in the memory of this high priest, those rogue thieves who only had the outer harbor of Grey Mist City or Baal Town actually stole his important and valuable items at the most critical time of today. His mind was filled with anger, and he didn't care about his words at all, but shouted angrily at the drowning believers below: "Damn, you have mixed in with despicable thieves who have stolen my things!" ”
