Chapter 546: Strange Magic Array
The group trekked again, making a large circle around the large tribe, passing several small orc tribes along the way.
After looking at all these tribes, Ji Ran's face became very bad, and the others were equally stern.
"Those True God Cultists, they're arranging a magic array." Ji Ran came to this conclusion.
As an alchemy master, coupled with the many formations he had mastered in his own alchemy, there was almost no doubt that Ji Ran had made this conclusion. Those True God Cultists are arranging magic arrays in those small tribes!
But why? What's the use of arranging magic arrays in those small tribes?
"Those magic arrays are not stored separately, but they should be looked at together."
Ji Ran took the map and pointed it with his finger.
"Where those little orc tribes are, here, here and here...... These are the locations that envelop the Tooth tribe...... formed a garden. ”
Following Ji Ran's fingers, everyone did find that those little orc tribes had formed an irregular circle. And the center of this circle is the Giant Fang tribe that they have entered before.
"I don't know exactly what the effect of these magic arrays is, but once they are running, it is very likely that all the energy will be concentrated in the middle of the Giant Fang Tribe. What happens then...... I don't know. But according to my understanding of the Order of the True God, it is definitely not a good thing. ”
No one refuted Ji Ran's words. Indeed, has the True God Order done anything good by arranging such a large magic array? Sacrifice, sacrifice. and sacrifices.
There weren't many orcs in the small tribes out there. There are only more than 100 people in one person. But there are quite a few orcs in the Giant Tooth Tribe...... At least tens of thousands!
Even if the orcs are stupid. Tens of thousands of orcs sacrificed at the same time can definitely summon a powerful true god clone. Even if the true god clone is not as good as an orc, it will definitely have a strong body......
Even if this body can't be directly used by the True God to descend, it can be devoured by other True God clones to enhance their own strength.
Speaking of which, regarding the matter of the true god clone, Ji Ran and the others also heard from the elf queen.
"In the past, the True God Cult made trouble, and there was almost no official appearance of the True God Clone. As you can imagine. They must have hidden all the true clones summoned by the sacrifice. It is said that the ultimate goal of the True God Order is to fuse these true avatars together and form a container for the true god to descend...... But this process takes time. ”
When the elven queen talked about this topic, she was also very solemn.
"Moreover, those true clones themselves have their own wills, and they will definitely not willingly let other clones devour them...... It is said that this is also the character of the true gods, and even their own doppelgangers do not want them to be too cowardly. And in the process of devouring each other, this vessel will become more powerful, which will make his arrival more smooth. ”
When Ji Ran heard this, he was still thinking in his heart. Isn't this similar to the Gu cultivation in the original world......
"After all this time, I suspect that the clones have begun to devour each other and merge with each other. Because we have received some information. It is said that in some places, the corpses of groups of True God cultists were found, as well as things like altars, and there were traces of battle. But no one admitted that they did it...... You know, there is now a reward for the extermination of the True God in human nations. ”
The Elven Queen's eyes were full of worry as she said this.
"Those True God clones were not very strong at first, but after being devoured, although their number will become smaller and smaller, their strength will become stronger and stronger, and the process of devouring will become faster and faster. If it goes on like this, it won't be too far from the container appearing......"
The Elf Queen's worries are not groundless, and Ji Ran and others can also come to this conclusion through analysis. Therefore, even the clones summoned by the orc sacrifice are quite a threat now.
The true god needs soul energy, so the orcs were not in his consideration at first. But now there is no need to think about that, the strength of the container is more important, and the clone obtained by the orc sacrifice is not unacceptable.
The sacrifice of tens of thousands...... Even though it's an orc, it's definitely an unprecedented spending. If it succeeds by the Order of the True God...... That would be an absolute disaster!
It is a disaster not only for the orcs, but also for other races...... Such a powerful doppelganger is no longer something that the powerhouses of other races can deal with lightly......
"We're going to sabotage their plans! Go and destroy those magic circles now! Rice clenched his fist hard. However, Ji Ran shook his head and denied his thoughts.
"No, we can't startle the snake. Maybe we destroy one or two magic arrays and ruin the True God Order's plans, but it will definitely make them suspicious...... When the time comes, they will hide and do something, which will be more troublesome. ”
"So what's the really? Do you just watch? Rice was furious. This approach of the True God Order reminded him of the ...... back then His lover died in a mass sacrifice more than ten years ago.
"We ...... Go to the orcs first and let them know about it. Ji Ran thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind.
"To find the orcs?" Everyone else was stunned.
"Is it useful to find orcs? Can their brains understand such a complicated matter? Maybe they can't even see the anomalies of their own people, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to let those True God cultists do things like this! Baker pursed his lips, clearly looking down on the orcs.
Ji Ran shook his head: "I have checked a lot of information, most of the orcs do not have a high IQ, but there are also some orcs whose IQ is not worse than that of humans." It's just that their way of thinking is different from that of humans, and they can't communicate with each other...... But believing in this kind of thing, those orcs will definitely not be uninterested. ”
Lydia thought on the side: "Brother Ji Ran, what are you talking about...... Orc shamans? ”
Ji Ran nodded approvingly: "That's right, it's the orc shaman." If anyone understands this, it's the wise among the orcs. ”
Although the orcs are generally stupid, there will always be a few wise men who can guide the orcs forward. Otherwise, this race would not be able to be called intelligent creatures, let alone occupy such a large land as the Western Plateau. This kind of thing can't be done by fertility alone.
The population of small tribes is too small, and it is difficult for shamans to appear. Only when the population base reaches a certain level can a shaman be born in an orc tribe...... And once there is a shaman, the orc tribe is equivalent to having a protector.
The birth of an orc shaman is very peculiar, usually an orc suddenly receives the protection of his ancestors, and then becomes a shaman. Of course, there is a tradition among shamans, but this inheritance often depends on talent. It is easier for the big tribes to find gifted children, but it is more difficult for the smaller tribes.
It is also possible for a shaman to be born in a small tribe, and when that happens, it is the beginning of the path of growth for that small tribe. They will conquer the other small tribes around them one by one and turn them into large tribes...... If the other great tribes hadn't defeated them.
This kind of thing happens from time to time in the western highlands, but it has become less and less common recently...... Because those big orc tribes now have too much force and power, and they are more dominant. According to the inference of the human state, if the orcs were given a little more time, maybe they would also be able to develop a real state and make a leap forward in their civilization.
Ji Ran naturally couldn't care about such distant things now, what they were thinking about now was how to talk to the orc shaman of the Giant Tooth Tribe.
After spending one gold coin per person again, Ji Ran and they entered the orc tribe again. The dwelling of the orc shaman is easy to find, after all, it is an orc who has the same status as the chief in the tribe, and it is natural that the residence is more luxurious.
Ji Ran and what they were looking for was naturally the great shaman of the tribe, who would sit with the chief. Although other shamans also have considerable power, they are not qualified enough for this kind of thing.
But if you want to get in touch with that great shaman, it will naturally be even more difficult.
"You're here to tell the Great Shaman about your fate? The entrance fee is ten gold coins per person. And what the great shaman has to ask, another count. ”
In fact, it is not too difficult to talk to the great shaman......
Ji Ran and they didn't expect that the orc shaman would actually work part-time in the fortune-telling business! When they got the news in the tavern, everyone was stunned for a moment.
"Hehe, don't look at those orcs who are stupid, stupid, lazy and greedy, but their shamans still have real materials. Fortune-telling is also quite accurate...... Although only for a short period of time. But sometimes, it's important to have a short period of time, right? ”
After receiving the news from the tavernkeeper, the group went directly to the great shaman's residence. The price of ten gold coins per person is absolutely outrageous, if it is in the human world, ten gold coins is enough for a family to live comfortably for a year......
Of course, Ji Ran and they were not short of money, and they were pressed for time, so after they spent the money, they quickly entered the room.
The orc's great shaman's business doesn't seem to be too good...... Because the entry fee is really too high. It is also said that the Great Shaman's demands are often so strange that even experienced adventurers find it difficult to meet them. Anyway, there are other shamans in this tribe, and the results of divination, except for a little vagueness, are similar to the great shamans, and they are cheaper and simpler, so why bother to come here to find sin?
Except for those who really need the strength of a great shaman to divinate something, very few people will come here. Of course, everyone who comes here will pay a lot of money...... After all, the Great Shaman is genuine.
However, Ji Ran and the others did not plan to pay more prices here.
This matter is not only their business, but also the business of this orc tribe...... To be precise, they're here to report the news. If the great shaman knows a little bit about what it means to repay kindness, it is only natural to give them some thanks.
So, after entering the house and going up to the second floor a few times, they saw the orc's great shaman. (To be continued......)
