Chapter 111: Lunatic Cult 1
"Lunatic?"
"Has anyone already begun to worship the Death Omen Star as a god?" Stephen tapped his fingers lightly on the table and fell into deep thought, and Yan next to him had a cautious expression on his face.
Stephen doesn't have much to do with this kind of cult.
However, the nature of this sect should be similar to the dragon worship in the books, and it is more of an evil organization born out of fear and fanaticism.
Clang.
Stephen threw the blood-red emblem into the drawer, then stood up and said, "They're actually capturing beasts? These cultists want to do something here!"
The Death Omen Star is a pan-conscious combination.
Theoretically, if someone really worships him as a god, they may really be able to connect to the vast spirit of the ancient evil creatures and gain the power of the Death Omen. It's a bit like the magic that the priests get from the gods, but at the cost of being affected by the crazy consciousness of the ancient evil creatures, and it's hard to say exactly what it will become, depending on the fact that the Death Omen Star is not interested in their souls.
"Let's go. ”
"Go and see if the woman is alive. Stephen said, standing up.
This matter actually involves ancient evil things, so he can't completely ignore it.
Although Stephen's current demand for the north is not very high, this is also a rear base anyway, and if those cult organizations that worship ancient evil things grow stronger, he will also have a headache if the north is made into a miasma.
Underground caverns.
Under the busy work of the Zela workers, a large area of the mountain below the floating tower has been excavated, and the range and passage of the nest are closely monitored by Taling 1, and must not go beyond the area divided by Stephen. In this regard, the queen larvae of the Zela ant clan also abides by it very well, and does not dare to cross the line at all, and even the activities of the Zela ant clan are in the area. Wizards are more general in curing diseases and saving people, many of them use necromantic spells to rescue them, and the wizard tower's real salvation is still those inconspicuous Zela worker ants.
By the time Stephen arrives with her, Catwoman's injuries are almost healed.
"The hosts. ”
"She fell into a deep sleep. Do you need to wake her up?" the figure of the queen of the Zela ant clan appeared in the shadow of the female ant.
Stephen glanced at it, and said without the slightest pity: "Wake her up." ”
A soft tentacle from the depths of the Zera Ant Empress's hatchling touched Catwoman's forehead, and then a suppressed moan came, and Catwoman in front of her opened her eyes a little confused.
"You're awake!" Yan cried out happily.
Brigitte opened her eyes and looked around, and when she saw the Zela ant clan in front of her, this never-before-seen creature immediately made her subconsciously reach out and touch the weapon on her waist, but then she saw Stephen next to her, and she stiffened as Stephen watched her, and slowly put her hand down.
A powerful coercion enveloped her body.
"We meet again. Stephen smiled.
Brigitte seemed to remember who Stephen was and knew where she was, there were many legends about this wizarding tower in the north, but no one dared to provoke the wizards there. Occasionally, someone who is not afraid of death wants to spy on the information, but all of them end up mysteriously disappearing.
No one is alive, no corpse is dead.
Stephen wasn't very kind to those who dared to sneak into his wizarding tower, and the spell traps and golems outside alone were enough to crush a large number of people.
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving me. Brigitte leaned slightly in respect.
Stephen waved his hand for the others to stand back, and then got straight to the point, "I'm interested in the Lunatic Cult thing. What should you know?"
Hearing Stephen's words, Brigitte's eyes moved slightly, and then she opened her mouth to tell information about them.
No one knows when this organization came into being.
But it is certain that they have been lurking in the world for a long time, the members of the Lunatic Cult are quite complex, there are commoners, nobles, killers, villains, robbers, etc., they join the Lunatic Cult for many reasons, but a large part of them are the fear of the String Moon and the thirst for power.
"Strength?" Stephen asked with a frown.
Brigitte said cautiously, "Yes." If they join the Lunatic Cult, they will be able to gain the power of the String Moon as long as they go through some special sacrificial ritual. ”
"A power that is said to rival that of a wizard!"
Stephen's brows tightened when he heard this, it looked like the scale of this Lunatic Cult had taken shape.
"Blood sacrifice?"
"They seem to have been linked to the spirit of the Death Omen...... Stephen fell into deep thought.
He is well aware of the respect and pursuit of wizards in this world, and if he can obtain the power comparable to that of wizards, then presumably many people who have not become wizards may be tempted to fall. Although the end of these people is certainly not good, the trouble they cause after gaining power is estimated to be not small.
"Are they powerful?" asked Stephen.
Brigitte hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "I don't know. All I know is that they lurk in many places, and that many nobles are members of them. ”
"The Lunatic Cult's stronghold is in the south. ”
"In charge of the North is a priest who is sending my people to capture them, intending to control them with a terrible ritual of sacrifice and turn them into some kind of twisted monster. ”
"Your Excellency!"
"I pray that you will save them......"
After saying that, the catwoman in front of her actually knelt down towards Stephen.
"Huh?" Stephen looked down at Catwoman in front of him, the other party was very impressed with him when they met for the first time, and he was able to say that even Bichi was the most beautiful Bichi woman, and at this moment he would actually kneel down and pray for his help in order to save the other beasts.
But Stephen didn't agree, he said slowly: "If you want to get something, you have to give something." ”
"Do you have anything to pay for asking me to help?"
Brigitte quickly took out a brilliant and huge gem and said, "This is the Emerald Star, one of the most famous gems in the history of the North, and it is said to have some special magical powers!"
Stephen reached out and took the gem for a look, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing magical about this thing. It's just a beautiful gem that's relatively large. ”
"That alone won't pay me for help. ”
Hearing Stephen's words, Brigitte couldn't help but bite her lip, her expression was a little hesitant and hesitant, and finally said slowly: "What if you add me? I am willing to swear eternal allegiance to Your Excellency! A high-level assassin should have some effect on Your Excellency, right?"
Stephen looked at Catwoman in front of him with interest, and his expression was playful: "You can consider this." ”
