176 Meetings (II)

The last important meeting that would affect the future of the continent took place in Dergaon, a small city in the Dark Realm near the Orc border. The www.biquge.info fact that it was unknown before this meeting, and that was probably unknown for decades after that, does not hide the importance of this conference, and it is no exaggeration to say that it magically changed the balance of power in the dark realms, leaving many analysts puzzled as to why two forces that had never spoken to each other - the orc militants who followed the Lord of the Beasts, Ainemeo, and the gods who ruled the conspiracy, assassination, and crime - The evil priests of Tarkus' actually united without warning, and the countless experts who predicted that the two sides would soon break up and fight spat blood and grief and indignation......

No one knows, it was all about a ring, a ring that was so realistically counterfeited that it would later spark a widespread religious debate - Kashmeo's Favor @ Imitation (made by Fifian).

Of course, the presiding priest of the Temple of Tacus, Dikai @ Xin@ Krieem, who was now sitting quietly in the room of the inn, looking at the ring with a sad face, did not know that the ring was a fake - because the ability it showed was so convincing, although it seemed to be 'sealed' with some of its abilities, but the ability to transcend all obstacles and directly control people's hearts was real, and with it, Dikai had already subdued dozens of puppets who were even more powerful than himself.

But now the heart-pounding ring was lying quietly on the table, a strange light slowly flowing on the ring, and it seemed to be a flowing set of arcane incantations, clinging to the ring as if protecting it.

"Alas......"

This set of runes is where Dekai's heart is located. After the date set by the Stygian Flame Lich expired, in his fearful waiting, there was no tragedy of the Stygian Fire rising and completely burning his soul out, and the ring seemed to know that he had indeed succeeded in tempting the vice-priest of the Temple of Death, Fusek@Ersesent, so he thought he had completed his mission and automatically fell off his fingers.

But then came the ordeal. Looking at the 'Kashmeo's Favor' that appeared after it fell off, a set of incantations wrapped around it, and the evil sacrifice was tortured - what does this mean exactly? The key is, can this ring be worn again?

It stands to reason that such a treasure, a character like the Hellfire Lich, could not have left such a big bargain for him...... But everyone has a fluke mentality, what if they can really take it for themselves? Even if they are forced to return it to the Stygian Fire Lich in the end, at least they can add countless more powerful and loyal puppets...... With the number and quality of the puppets he has now, he can already subdue a strong opponent, and if this 'virtuous circle' continues, it is not impossible to get the powerhouses of the Holy Rank!

He had already captured civilians and tried it, and there would be no problem just touching it, it was very safe, and after a few days of contemplation, he also had a way to deal with the Stygian Fire - but he did not dare to test it directly on himself, nor did he dare to let others wear this ring casually, the last time he put it on and couldn't take it off, the scene he couldn't take it off is still vivid, and this treasure is automatic, in case someone else wears it and casually says, 'Don't hurt me', then he can only wait with tears and wait to become someone else's minion.

It is under the pressure of this pressure that Dekay, who has never had any trustworthy friends, finally remembered the old orc McVendish @ Steel Horn and the big man Heiko @ Bergmasou, who had lived and died together, and suffered together. In the misunderstanding, in order to save his life, he signed an honest contract with the orcs at a huge price, and they could not deceive and betray each other, and then they were forced to support each other back to back in that terrible disaster, and they already had a foundation of trust between them, so they were good people to discuss...... Of course, whether people are willing to take risks is another matter.

Speaking of which, why haven't these two guys come yet?

Dekai @ Xin @ Corriem walked anxiously to the window of the small hotel and looked out covertly. For the sake of the concealment of this meeting, he even did not hesitate to reduce his strength and removed the pure black bandage on his body - he and McVendish @ Gangjiao are both big names under their own gods, and in this chaotic time when the gods are coming, if people find out that they meet in private, it will be a terrible thing, and it may become the fuse of a war......

Bang bang...... Bang...... Bang bang!

The door of the small hotel was suddenly knocked according to the code, and Dikai @ Xin @ Corriem took a deep breath, put away the ring on the table, and cautiously walked to the door and opened a crack in the door.

"Who?"

He asked in a deliberately hoarse voice. Looking through the crack in the door, there were two burly orcs standing outside the door, their young skin mostly exposed, and their muscles bulging, which looked very powerful.

"Open the door, you trash!"

One of the orcs shouted loudly and slammed the door: "Don't think that you can escape Uncle Kane's debt by running to this rural place! If you don't pay it back today, watch me screw your head off!"

Yes, everything was arranged in advance, but why are there two young orcs who are so tender? Do those two guys have any other plans?...... Still don't believe me?

Dikai opened the door hesitantly, and the two young orcs swarmed in, shouting loudly and slamming the wall in a pretended manner, and only after the curiosity of the onlookers had been satisfied did he stop, and sat down at the table in a big way.

"I said bed bugs, you can't just pick a place that tastes better?"

One of the taller young orcs whispered dissatisfied, the familiar tone that made Dikai pause for a moment, then look at the two people in front of him suspiciously, the expression on his face slowly changed from suspicion to thoughtfulness, then to abruptness, and finally to a thick sense of disbelief and envy.

"You two are ...... Tacus is on top, that's jealous!"

That's right, the two people who came were McVendish @ Steelhorn and Heike @ Bergmarsio himself, but after receiving the blood and divine power of Ainemeo, both of them had returned to the peak of their youth, their plump and young skin was full of elasticity, faintly exuding the brilliance of life, which made Dikai almost want to kill with envy.

Even if he could also gain the charism of Tarkus, it wouldn't have been like this. Orcs are a race that fights by the flesh, so with the powers of Enermeo rejuvenating them and Tarkus in charge of intrigue, assassination, and crime, the charisms only make Dekay even more gloomy and rotten......

"Well, time is precious, don't talk about useless things. ”

The rejuvenated McVendish @ Steelhorn is quite handsome, because he is a shaman, he is much more delicate than the other orc warriors, only the experience and wisdom contained in those eyes have not changed: "Why did you go to such lengths to call us here?"

"There's something I want you to help with. ”

Dekai tried his best to suppress the malice in his heart, and it was useless for him to be jealous in the face of the person who signed the honest contract.

"Oh?

Heiko @Bergmass O smiled a little: "You haven't paid your fees last time!

"Shut up, Heiko. ”

McVentish@Steelhorn glanced at the big man calmly. What can you get from a priest asking for help, and you don't care what you do with that little money, it's a waste of time!" ”

"It's this ring. ”

Dekay generously placed the ring on the table.

"......'Cusmear's favor'?!"

Even an old guy like McVendish @ Steel Horn couldn't help but take a few deep breaths after seeing this ring, obviously a little out of shape. After all, in the legend, this is a super treasure that even low-level gods can tempt!

"That's right, that's it. ”

Dekay sighed, "I need someone to help me determine what will happen to this ring when I wear it - let's be honest, just to see if it will cause a fire." ”

"Can anyone help you try this kind of thing?"

McWendish's face sank as @ Gangjiao. The great shaman of the orcs is also well-informed, and he also knows a little about the situation of the Hellfire Lich: "Once you come into contact with the Hellfire, your soul will burn!"

"It's okay, I'm ready, the danger is there, but it's never fatal. ”

Dekay smiled as if he was confident. It's just that his face that has not seen the sun for many years is really ugly, and he laughs like crying: "I have brought Fursec @ Ersesente here, he is now completely my puppet, but his death divine power has not been damaged at all, I can order him to adjust the soul of the tester a little, and once the hellfire is activated, he will immediately cut off that part of the soul, so that although there is some damage, there will be no serious consequences." ”

When it comes to manipulating souls, who in this world is more adept at manipulating souls than the followers of Fahalu?, but while it can save his life, it will also hurt his vitality, and he will not tell them that clearly.

“...... What price are you prepared to pay?"

To Dekai's surprise, after listening to his words, McWendish @Steelhorn thought for a moment and then asked about the reward, which made a lot of rhetoric he had prepared suddenly come to naught - were they so strong that they didn't care about 'this' loss?

"I heard you're scavenging for food...... The surrounding small countries have been robbed by you, and the remaining powerful countries will have a hard time attacking, right?"

Di Kai, who has an honest contract and can't deceive the other party, didn't play any more word games, and directly made a bid: "I will mobilize all the evil sacrifices to help you cause a series of events such as usurpation, mutiny, panic and so on in those countries, so that they will not be able to fight against you, or even be torn apart - are you satisfied with such a price?"

In fact, although this price code is very attractive to orcs, it is not a loss for Dikai at all. It seems that the evil priests toiled and did 'voluntary labor' and received nothing, but don't forget that Tarkus is the god of conspiracy, assassination, and sin, and all three of the above things are indispensable, and just stirring up these chaos in these countries is enough to make the lord of evil happy and give him a lot of divine power, and it is definitely not a loss.

"I still need a batch of food, and it's huge......"

After judging the gains and losses, McWendish @ Gangjiao put forward an additional request. The pressure on the orcs from the amount of food on Ainemeo was too great, and there was already a discordant murmur among some of the tribes that had suffered more losses in the raids, and he was now in dire need of a grain to calm the people.

"It's a lot, but I should be able to get it for you if I try my best. ”

Listening to the numbers drawn by McVendish @ Steel Horn, Dekai calculated for a moment and gritted his teeth in agreement. Because of the honest contract, the parties cannot deceive each other, and there is nothing in the negotiation at all, it is just pure bargaining, which is very reassuring - in fact, such a meeting would not have been possible without this basis.

"Although it cost me a lot of money to sign an honest contract with you, it seems that I have done a beautiful thing now......

Dikai, who had fulfilled his wish, sighed with some emotion. Although he gritted his teeth and blood was dripping from his heart at the time, after the arrival of the gods, this contract became a great luck - no more such an agreement can be signed now, because Ernest and Leir, the twin gods of truth and lies, have come in person, and you may not meet anyone in the temple now, the two gods are completely indistinguishable from outsiders, in case it is Laie, you can cry, and the agreement will magically disappear when it comes to the critical moment to test loyalty.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get started. ”

McVindish @ Steel Horn interrupted his exclamation impatiently. "Hecker, go. ”

"I knew you were going to betray me when the time came. Heiko @ Bergmasio seemed to be mentally prepared, muttering closer to the table: "It's been like this since we first met a hundred years ago!"

McVindish @Steelhorn ignored him, staring at Fursec @Ersysent, who had just been dragged out from under the bed by Dekay and chanting a spell in his eyes.

The reason why the great shaman is willing to take this risk is also to rely on it. No matter how powerful the hellfire is, it's only for mortals, Heiko @ Begmasio just received the blood of rage, and there is a certain amount of divine power left in the body, the effect of the hellfire will be greatly weakened, and the 'blood of rage' He still has two on him just in case, and at the critical moment, he can also save the life of Heike @ Bergmasou - In the eyes of others, the blood of rage is an incomparably precious treasure, but McVendish@Steelhorn, who has seen the truth with his own eyes, knows that the batch of food that he knocked out of Dikai's hand later is enough to make Enemmeo scratch his body twice more and bleed.

Cushmeio's favor is indeed worthy of being a top-level artifact, although Fusek@Ersesent has a dull gaze, the corresponding spell-casting skills are not affected at all, and the soul of Heike @ Begmasio slowly changes under his operation, and the entire arm part has turned into a thin wisp, and the power of death has condensed three points on it, which is used to cut off the part that is 'ignited' by the underfire.

“...... Let's get started!"

Dikai picked up the ring excitedly, gasped twice, and then put it on the thick finger of Heike @ Begmasio, the spell on the ring instantly lit up, and a slight flame suddenly rose, and in the blink of an eye, the soul of the entire upper arm of Heck @Begmasio began to burn-

"Hmm!"

With a muffled snort, this part of the soul was immediately cut open by the power of death, and the fire was extinguished instantly, while Heike @ Bergmasio suddenly felt an indescribable weakness, his arms hung down limply, the muscles of his entire upper arms atrophied, and his complexion was defeated.

"Ding!"

The ring slipped from Heiko @Begmasio's shrunken finger, and the spell on it vanished.

"Try again! I'll give you the same amount of food in next year's harvest!"

Dekay gritted his teeth and snorted. Now he completely looked like an ordinary person, and even a hint of blush appeared on his pale face. McVindish @Steelhorn frowned for a moment, then slowly nodded to Heiko @Bergmasio, who swore and stretched out his other arm.

After doing the same thing, nothing happened this time.

"Hah...... Ha...... Hahahaha......"

Dekai eagerly snatched the ring from Heik@Bergmasio's finger and put it tightly on his finger, waiting for a moment and nothing happened, the high priest of the Rotten Temple, who was extremely majestic in front of his subordinates and worshippers, laughed like a madman.

From this moment on, the orcs, who are good at violence, and the evil sacrifices that habitually conspiracy are closely linked.
