Chapter 109: Troll Sacrifice
Morel Castle.
Baron Pastor walks into a mysterious room, and a breath of death hits his face.
The room was very high, a small altar occupied the central position, next to the altar a wooden gallows, under the noose hung a pitch-black figure, the figure was brown and green, the head was very large, I don't know how long it had been hanging, but it was not dead, there were hundreds of wounds on the body, gurgling blood, the blood red was tinged with blue and green, very penetrating.
It's a 4-meter-tall troll!
In the altar, the maid, who was bubbling with blood, and who had long been lifeless, was thrown into the altar by the black-clothed attendant beside Pastor, and soon turned into blood.
Paster gave the troll a disdainful look, as a descendant of the Morel family, he had the same brown-yellow hair, small eyes, and straight nose as most of the family.
The servant withdrew, and Paster recited a prayer calling out to his "Great Lord"!
The troll couldn't stop dripping blood, Past's heart was ruthless, a vine technique, firmly bound the troll, under the squeeze of the vine, countless blood full of vitality was poured into the altar, and the altar suddenly became active.
It's been a week since the troll was captured, and for the past week, Paster has been feeding the altar with its blood every day, and having the priest next to him treat it. Repeatedly, just to prevent the trolls from dying, such a torturous method, even many people around Paster are also terrified, fearing that one day if they do not do well, they will become sacrifices in this altar.
Pastor didn't care about that.
If it weren't for Wen Li's existence, he would have sat on the throne of the earl at this moment. But Wen Li is too tenacious, and in the past three years, Wen Li has been cautious and walking on thin ice, which has provoked Pastor countless times. Even if a plan is hatched in secret, it cannot be completely overthrown.
Even the more and more voices in the family support Wen Li to lead everyone forward, and Wen Li's actual reputation is getting higher and higher, which makes Paste feel boundless pressure.
Just over a year ago, Pastor attended a gathering of nobles in the City of Gold, after that party. Pastor found that many nobles were secretly carrying out some kind of mysterious sacrifice, through which they could gain more and stronger power.
Pastor did what his friend told him to do, erected an altar, and continued to offer sacrifices, and over the years, Past's strength has skyrocketed. In the Earl's Court, there is no one who can easily shake himself.
When Paster's sacrifice surpassed that of many of his fellow nobles and became the most sacrificed in the Golden City, Victor noticed him. The Death Knight once descended on the altar and met his faithful servant in person. Only then did I know that Pastor was a baron.
Since then, Victor has given Paz a lot of secret methods of the Abyss. Past, under Victor's instructions, secretly eliminated many forces that disobeyed him. Over the years, Baron Pastor has firmly controlled 80% of the fiefdom knights in the family through co-optation, framing, assassination and other means, and has become the ruler of the Morel family behind his back.
All the time. Pastor was looking for an opportunity to bring down Wen Li, but this woman was too cautious, and with the support of the family council that held Morel's actual wealth and secret methods, even Pastor had no way to talk to her. Bite the flesh off her.
But tonight is different!
Mrs. Wen Li secretly went out, this was really a rare good thing for Past, he couldn't help but be secretly excited, if he hadn't put eyeliner next to Wen Li two or three years ago, he would have missed such a good opportunity in vain.
Observing the activity of the altar, Pastor glanced at the troll again, and his heart was ruthless, this troll had been hanging for a week, and it was useless to leave it alone. However, its flesh and blood are also full of endless breath, which can be used to invite the master to come.
Pastor's spell slashed, and with a bang, the troll fell heavily from the reins, and countless stinking blood rays rushed towards Pastor, making the middle-aged baron's face bloody, and the next moment, the altar completely devoured the troll.
Gollum, Gollum, the blood from the altar emitted terrible black smoke.
Just as the troll disappeared into this world, in the mysterious room, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and a colossal death breath came to ask for his life.
Baron Pastor knelt in front of the altar with a body of mana, and said respectfully: "Great Lord Victor, your loyal servant Pastor greets you. ”
Stress, fear, silence.
On the gallows, a gray-black knight's figure volleyed out of the sky, this figure was 2 meters tall, and his face was unclear, but he could vaguely feel this person's madness, contempt, and arrogance. This inverted phantus is the Death Knight who will rule the northern lands for nearly a hundred years in the future, Victor!
On the Divine Grace Continent, at least hundreds of millions of living beings have completely lost their lives due to his existence, and even their souls do not exist.
"Why did you call me, Paster?"
Victor's voice was low and seemed to be stressed, due to the peculiar structure of his larynx. For a long time, no one knew what Victor's voice was all about. It wasn't until the Holy Son descended and the Divine Grace Continent set off a battle between the demigods and the new gods that his secret was exposed, and it turned out that the special structure between Victor's throat was a fatal wound left by his death thousands of years ago, and it never healed in his life.
It's his shame.
"The hosts! I have something to say! ”
"Say"
"Back to the master, according to reliable sources, Wen Li's absence from the Earl's Court tonight is a good opportunity to get rid of her!" Pastor said with some smugness and excitement.
"Wen Li?" Death Knight Victor groaned. In order to occupy the northern part of the Divine Grace Continent, Victor has been laid out for many years, and the Morel family is a chess piece for him. The Morel family owns more than 30 fiefs, the combined area is comparable to a principality, and the family industry is countless, how could Victor let go of such resources.
After more than a year of layout, Victor started from the bottom, encroaching on the power of the Morel family little by little, and finally completely emptied Wen Li, the countess. This behavior is not actually Victor's usual style, although the Death Knight is cautious. but prefers to crush opponents directly.
It's just that now the plane barrier is not stable, and there is an agreement in the abyss, and every lord must keep a low profile and not attract the attention of the truly powerful people on the continent. If it attracts the wrath of the powerful and joins forces to destroy the dimensional passages, then all the layout will be in vain.
Over time. And Victor reaffirmed that the Heavenly Divine Mansion would not intervene in the plane dispute, and the Death Knight was becoming more and more impatient.
Facts have proved that the Divine Grace Continent is not a monolith, and the various races on the continent, after thousands of years of peace, have become less convinced of war, only suspicious of each other and check and balance each other. If the powerhouses of the continent want to really join forces to destroy the space passage, they are afraid that it will be difficult to make the trip, and at that time, it is very likely that the abyss has already invaded on a large scale.
"What's going on?" Victor asked.
When Pastor heard this, he immediately told him how he threatened the maid a few years ago, how he placed eyeliner next to Wen Li, etc., and said: "Over the years, I have arranged a lot of eyeliner around Wen Li. Several disappeared for no apparent reason, except for this maid. It has been lurking to this day! The news she brought is very credible! ”
"Okay, you've done a good job in this matter, since Wen Li is exposed, let's bring her down." Victor Road.
"Dear Lord Victor, what should I do!" Baron Past's heart was excited. After waiting for so long, my chance has finally come.
Victor paused for a moment and thought for a moment, "Although you currently control most of the lower-level forces in the family, the secrets and resources of the upper level have not been obtained after all, so you still need some prestige. Take control of them. Wen Li doesn't have to die for the time being. “
"This ......" Past's heart jumped suddenly, he never thought that Victor would want to keep Wen Li, how can this be good?
"I don't really understand, Lord Victor, why don't you take advantage of today to kill Wen Li, there is no strong man around her, I won't be exposed!" Pastor asked, somewhat surprised.
"Paster, it seems that you are still too stupid, sometimes, it is not just the fight and the killing that can decide the matter." Victor said, "A sick and dying Wen Li is more useful than an assassinated earl, and by mastering her, you can deter more people!" ”
Yes! Paster was not a fool and quickly understood what Lord Victor meant.
"I give you a curse technique, this curse can make Wen Li sick and live for more than 100 days." Victor Road.
This curse was recently obtained by Victor from the "Banshee of the Night" Dorisna, and he was about to arrange for the forces in the Divine Grace Continent to do something, but he didn't expect Pastor to take the initiative to find him.
After Victor finished speaking, a terrible light fell on the Staff of Past.
"This curse can only be used once, don't fail!" Victor Road.
"My subordinates know and promise not to make mistakes!" "There's another thing for my subordinates to tell me. ”
"Say."
"Wen Li didn't leave alone tonight, but followed a warlock named Allen."
"Alan? Who is this person? Victor asked.
"Lord Victor doesn't know, this warlock is a young warlock who rose to prominence in the attack on the Dragon Knight of Cayton not long ago, and he is said to be of good strength."
As soon as Pastor's words came out, Victor's phantom suddenly shuddered coldly. It turned out to be him, no wonder the name is so familiar! Okay, I didn't expect you to show up on your own!
In order to enhance concealment, the cautious Victor laid out on the Divine Grace Continent, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not let the characters of each stronghold meet each other, so Pastor didn't know that the attack on Cayton was actually Victor's handiwork, not only him, but even several other knights who led Pastor to build the altar didn't know about it.
When Victor heard about Cayton, he was stunned for a while, if it wasn't for the failure of the sneak attack on the Dragon Knight, he would not have endured this small month and missed many development opportunities. At that time, Victor paid attention to the warlocks and dwarves that appeared in the battle. In Victor's opinion, this warlock seems to be fine, and if it weren't for the dwarves dispelling the chaotic effect of the Earth Walking Dragon, the final battle would not have been turned around.
The matter of the gods in the void, Victor has basically figured it out, these days he began to rethink this matter, and assigned forces, looking for warlocks and dwarves, ready to retaliate, I didn't expect this warlock to have some ability, to be able to take away Wen Li, it seems that the strength is really good.
"Okay, I know about this, a group of people will come to you tonight, and bring back the warlock when the time comes." With that, Victor let out a low, angry laugh and disappeared above the altar.
(When I woke up, I was stunned to see the reward, thank you for your support, and there is a change today, thank you for your monthly pass, subscription, and reward!! (To be continued.) )
