Zuatu is divided into three areas: upper, middle and lower.

The outermost part of the lower area is built on flat ground.

On the repaired stone platform in the central area, it was originally a rock mountain, which was greatly developed, and the quarried stones were used to build the city and walls, and the stone mountain was cut into the foundation of the core building of Zuatu little by little.

The location of the blood festival is in the middle of the city, where most of the official activities are organized, and this area is also the area with the highest concentration of city-state facilities.

Kane and Semia climbed the stairs, and when they arrived at the Blood Sacrifice Square, it was already crowded.

This square is not the largest in Zuatu, but it is located in a good location and is very popular, so blood festivals are basically held here. The large square is generally only used for super-large events such as launching city-state wars.

People stand in the square casually, looking chaotic, but no one talks to each other, and they don't even make a loud noise, so they don't feel noisy.

In the center of the square, there are the temple warriors of the god of poisonous snakes, Hirhis, whose armor looks gorgeous and sophisticated, shoulder armor is the style of the snake's head with a large mouth open, and the helmet is made of the skull of a giant python, and the eyes are inlaid with precious stones, which look lifelike.

And once you look closely, you will find that the practicality of those equipment is actually not high, and there is no constant magic effect, just the simplest magic attachment, which looks bright.

When Kane arrived, the 13 trolls who were to be sacrificed by the blood had been escorted to the center of the square by the Hirthy warriors, and they had only the most basic shroud covering their private parts, and the rest of the place was naked, but they were painted with white paint.

Kane can only parse the content of these oil paints probably, the most conspicuous of which is the green bone snake logo, which means that this is a sacrifice to Hirsch.

The 13 trolls were tied up and couldn't move, their eyes shining with despair and fear.

One of the Hirsch warriors was already reading the verdict, according to which most of the sacrificed were guilty of felonies, and two were spies of other city-states who had been exposed.

In Kane's eyes, however, there is a clear problem with his claims.

Among the sacrificed, there were at least four of them, who were usually pampered, and even if two of them were spies, and two of them were from the noble class and above, it was obvious that the conflict between the people in the upper echelons of Zuatu was very cruel.

After the samurai confessed the guilt in public, it was time for the officiant to appear.

There is a special facility for the priest to rest temporarily, and at this moment, under the protection of the samurai's guard of honor, he walks out of the facility.

At the back of the guard of honor is the musical instrument team, mainly the tambourine and the characteristic instrument bagpipes, they play and play, which sounds a little unusual to Kane, but it is not difficult to hear.

But when the second section of the music looped, the Hirschs in the square began to sing carols, and those who were not believers also sang along. This is said to increase the likelihood of receiving the blessing of the viper.

Kane naturally scoffed at such a statement, but some believed it.

So the atmosphere in the square quickly became richer, even if you can't sing and don't know the words, you can hum a few words, and many hums converge into a buzz, and the effect can catch up with the concert scene of the superstar of the origin world.

In the midst of this chorus, the priest cast a spell to summon a bust of Hirsch from the round platform in the center of the square.

Kane noticed that the priest was not using a summoning technique, but a technique to activate the mechanism, which meant that the bust of Hirsch was somewhere underground in the square, and when needed, activate the mechanism and the idol would rise.

He reckoned that the other gods were like that,

Seeing the idol raised, the believers of Hirsch took the lead in prayer.

So the singing quickly faded and was replaced by prayer. The prayers became more and more neat, and the solemnity gradually developed.

Eventually, it was the drummer who ended the prayer with the beat of the drum, and the square soon fell silent.

On the altar, the sacrificial ceremony officially began, and the chief priest danced the sacrificial dance in front of everyone, twisting his waist and swinging his hips and arms, which was very slow and hilarious in the nightclub, but unfortunately Kanson did not have this memory.

Kane thought that the sacrifice had officially begun, and it would not begin until after the troll-style rope had been jumped, but he didn't expect that people were dancing, killing and killing, jumping up to one of the sacrificed people, pulling out a fang-like dagger from his waist and stabbing it in the chest of one of the sacrificed.

Kane looked at his technique and knew that the main priest had not fought with a sword in the battle array, but the pig-killing knife technique used by the blood sacrifice was very slippery, clean and neat, and the entry point was also well chosen.

Blood splattered, and the sacrificed let out a wail of pain.

When its wailing subsided, the priest stepped forward to dissect it on the spot, and while the body of the sacrificed person was still convulsive, he skillfully took out his beating heart, held it high, and then held it in front of the altar directly in front of the statue of Heshis with both hands, and placed it on it.

After that, the priest danced again, this time with a marked difference from the previous one, appearing insane, and bringing up the afterimage, cutting the sound of a hissing viper spitting out letters.

Yes, the court is large, but the voice is clear, as if it rings in everyone's ears, which is a divine quality.

Kane's spirits lifted, and for him, it was only at this moment that the priest took out a little dry goods, simply put, using divine power to perform the ritual.

The previous ones were nothing, and they could even be equated with the performances of those witches and gods, but once the divine power was used, it was to truly build a bridge between humans and gods and interact with each other. It's dry goods.

It not only represents technology, but also feeds back some information that Kane is concerned about through specific phenomena.

With the dance of the priest's divine power, some miraculous things happened, such as the heart of the sacrifice from a new powerful pulsation, and then from the veins gushing blood, its blood volume far exceeded the volume of the heart.

The blood gushing out first filled the grooves on the altar, and then unconsciously connected the Statue of Hexis, and in the end, it looked like the two fangs of the Statue of Hexis, constantly spewing out blood-like venom, forming a gushing of blood in the grooves.

It's a unique connection, and it's hard to tell where the source started, but it's always working.

After this step was completed, the priest was freed from the dance of madness, sweaty but excited, took the back machete inlaid with gold and silver, chopped off the head of the deceased with a single sword, and then carried the head around the crowd so that the people could see the expression that still showed the painful details like a living person, and loudly told the people that the sacrifice had pleased Hirsch, and that Hirsch was punishing the sacrificed with venom, so that his soul could not rest.

The trolls in the square cooperated with awe and muttered prayers.

Kane knew it was. After establishing the connection between man and God, it is all nonsense, which can be said to be deceiving in front of the gods and pulling the banner of the gods.

Some believe that the main purpose of the blood sacrifice is that the gods are so weak that they need to survive by absorbing the life energy from the blood.

This is a misconception that God is a spiritual energy body, and it also absorbs spiritual power.

On the basis of knowing this information, looking at the blood sacrifice, we can draw a conclusion that it is an artificial establishment of faith channels to transmit the power of faith to the gods.

This operation is not a good way, it is equivalent to forcibly feeding the gods.

Because the power of faith transmitted in this way is negative. Emotions such as fear, fear, and even resentment are inevitably mixed in, and even the noisy become the main ingredients.

In Kane's view, this is like constantly giving people prescription drugs with large side effects, and good people can toss and be disabled.

At the same time, it can also be understood as an act of selling inferior liquor with water. The positive faith is not strong enough, so use this kind of thing to make up.

This is a kind of harm to both sides, and for the gods of the faith system, they are always washed away by the power of this inferior faith, and their thinking and state will inevitably not be good. Over time, it is easy to fall and distort.

To say that the God of faith is man-made is to refer to this.

The god of faith is the embodiment of all thoughts, which are mixed with impurities and even all kinds of negativity, and can they be expected to bear good fruit?

And for the believers, it is also painful to do so.

Any forced thing will make people unhappy, and the same is true for faith, coercion and temptation to make you perform, which is completely another sense of black coal kiln as a coolie, how can it be a difficult word?

After talking for a long time, both ends are not good, but those who are able to play this trick are cheaper?

The answer is no.

The divine power of the fallen god is like dirty water, as a priest who uses it as a stream, and uses this sewage every day, can he be fine?

Then the question arises again, why do some people do this kind of thing that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves, and they are still happy to do it?

Because that's at least a road. Even if it is to drink water to quench thirst, it is still running. Even if power has negative attributes, it is power. People are hungry, and the dirty bread in the trash can is placed in front of them, do you want to eat it?

That's probably what it means. There is no way to come up with this set from a certain point of view.

Of course, in Kane's view, they do not deserve sympathy.

Because there is no way to be the general trend, under this general trend, it is encompassing the individual's desire for profit.

In general, the situation is very complicated, with the pressure of the general environment, but also the greed and ambition of individuals, all kinds of factors are combined, and such a deformed thing is born.

I've long heard that trolls make gods, as well as kill gods, it's better to see than to hear, but today I see it, in addition to killing gods, you can also slip cabbage-like gods. There is a good way to raise it, and it depends on the usage.

To put it bluntly, this is a play with the belief system, Luoa God may have been beautiful, and the image is relatively positive, but now the scenery is no longer beautiful, weak, only a shell of faith = divine power, let others fiddle, as if it is an enema machine, once produced the famous lean meat red sausage, and now produces fat starch sausage, the machine is still the same set of machines, but the raw materials and products have changed.

Kane, who was hidden in the crowd, looked expressionlessly at the interactions between the trolls who either believed or forced themselves to believe and the main priest on the altar, quite like the feeling of being drunk and watching the monkey show alone.

The Blood Sacrifice had just begun at this time, after all, only one had been killed.

Kill one, you can establish a connection for a period of time, and then just like the scene of the promotion, the main priest is like the host, throwing off all kinds of burdens, stirring up the atmosphere, you can send a wave of mixed faith power over, and then get divine power feedback.

After receiving the divine power feedback, the main priest will scatter a wave of 'sugar', that is, the blessing of divine power. Further enhance the atmosphere of the scene. And then there was another wave.

That's basically the process, and of course it's not dead. For example, if you can't look at the atmosphere of the scene, then send a wave of 'sugar' first, this is your own divine power first, and then take it back, in short, there is a big account to manage, as long as it is profitable, it is not in vain, and you can still play in the future.

And the audience below is also from the embarrassing scene, the cold field to the hot field, excited, several waves of 'sugar' sprinkled down, like intoxicated, I want me to want me, the power of faith is contributed in this state of excitement, infected by the atmosphere of the scene, blindly obedient, rather believe in it, believe!

"Looking at it now, I thought too much about it before, the Luoa gods are not only weak, but also confused by the consciousness of fake wine, and there is no way to distract to see if there are any external gods approaching. As long as it is not the one who is fighting with the open flame, then you may not be able to find out if you pass by. As for the priests, the routine is quite deep, but how much the serious skills have inherited depends on ......," Kane said to Alexstasa and Ysera in his aftermath summary.
