Chapter 410: The Rite of Sacrifice
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect King Ryan to be such a person, it's a shame!" Yurius denounced and studied it carefully by the shelves. For the first time www.biquge.info he felt that too many choices were not a good thing - what a power of all evils!
Then a book slammed into the back of his head.
"I'm not going to say it, only the two of us know about it today!" Yurius smiled understandingly, though he was smashed.
King Ryan didn't want anyone else to find out, and they didn't want anyone to find out either.
If the people of the kingdom of Tarun knew that their beloved old king had hidden so much from everyone, one can imagine what they would denounce.
"Look at this. Lin Qiu turned the first page of the book and reminded Julius to daydream less. The first page of the book reads "The Rite of Sacrifice Volume XXIII" instead of "The Energetic Argonian Maid", a religious title that is very different from books that are not suitable for children.
Suspiciously, Julius took out the book in his bosom and turned the first page.
Mary and Kane.
"What is this?" he said, huffing, shoving the book back into the distance. If he's not mistaken, Mary and Kane is a once-best-selling war novel, famous in the early days of the Kingdom of Talen. However, this book has nothing to do with religion and children's suitability.
Lin Qiu looked around and found that there were thousands of books on the shelves, and the covers of these books were almost the same. And after he casually flipped through the basics, he realized that except for the "Gift of Sacrifice" in his hand, most of them were some irrelevant novels or poetry collections.
It seems that King Ryan not only went to great lengths to build such a hidden underground palace, but also set up multiple defenses inside the palace. If it weren't for Lin Qiu's luck and coincidentally taking out the twenty-third volume of "The Rite of Sacrifice", maybe he and Julius would have regarded this as an ordinary library after turning over the basics.
"Maybe he put this book in his own right. Julius guessed. In the case of such a prosperous civilization of order, it is not uncommon for the people to give birth to some books full of religious meaning.
"But the book was turned over. Lin Qiu pointed out the difference in this book. and the word sacrifice immediately reminded him of the boy named Celt he had met in the transit village. Through Ravenhall's pills, he learns what happened that night - the teenager's parents have given Celt powers similar to Doron through a self-sacrificing ritual.
But the question they didn't solve was why Phoenix had empowered the cultists with such rituals.
Generally speaking, living monsters are not willing to share their power with humans, and the more high-level monsters are, the more they look down on humans. It is understandable that Doron, the son of God, has gained power, but Celt's parents, who are at best a little more religious, have a similar power for their children.
"Oh-! you didn't say I almost forgot, that Doron!" exclaimed Julius.
"What's wrong with Doron...... Hey, you shouldn't have met him!" Don't talk about Julius, even Lin Qiu himself almost forgot about Duolun.
"I settled him in the hotel of the royal capital that night, and I wanted to go to him the next day!" Julius had always had a bad memory, and the next day after the Empress held a banquet, a series of unexpected events occurred, and the incident between Mr. Salfin and the Assassins had already made him anxious, who was in the mood to care about the strangers in the hotel.
Lin Qiu and Julius stopped at the same time, and they rarely thought of one place: "Oops!"
"If he catches Duolun, he must know what these books are trying to say!"
Or you can read it patiently and you will know. ”
"Who's there!" The sudden voice startled Lin Qiu and Julius, and after Liya and the others ran away, the palace fell into a dead silence. They didn't hear any footsteps, and it seemed to come from a short distance from the door.
The two of them looked out the door, but it was still pitch black.
The voice ignored them and continued, "Congratulations on finding the clue as soon as you came...... There are thirty-one volumes of this book, and when you have read the thirty-one volumes, you will understand the purpose of the sacrifice. However, it is probably not a small project to find thirty-one volumes of the same book from more than 1,600 of them. By that time, your little empress had already been assassinated. ”
- "So...... What will you do with the truth and Leah's life? ”
......
Lin Qiu and Julius glanced at each other and chose to remain silent.
"How? It's a tough choice, isn't it?"
"I have a question. Lin Qiu tentatively spoke to the voice outside the door.
"Say it. ”
"Why can't we investigate this library while protecting Leah?"
"Huh?"
"Julius, the plan is this, let's go to the banquet hall to protect the empress, and at the same time you have a few trusted men to find out all the books with the title 'The Rite of Sacrifice'. ”
"Oh, it's you, Mr. Tyre. Lin Qiu's plan was highly praised by Julius. In the depths of his heart, Lin Qiu's strategy had quietly risen by one level—four or five levels away from catching up with Mr. Salfin.
"Wait...... Wait a minute, you can't do that!" The voice outside the door was anxious, she stomped her foot in some anger, and a dodge walked into the room.
Brown leather boots catch your eye, and a small piece of exposed leg skin is wrapped in white stockings. She wears an old-fashioned maid's uniform, and the different skirts are red, and the skirt swings with every step she takes, which at first glance looks like a burning flame. The woman's features exude a seductive beauty, two brilliant rubies hanging from her earlobes, and expensive jewels adorning her red hair that is held high up, making her look nothing like a maid.
Her glowing red streamer pupils glanced at Lin Qiu and Julius with a slight bewitchment: "If you do that, you will attract those terrible enemies. ”
"Oh!?you are!"
Lin Qiu and Julius exclaimed almost at the same time—"Chief maid Kalian!?"
Except for the difference in hair color and eye color, this woman looks almost exactly the same as Kalian. To be precise, the person standing in front of them is a bewitching version of Kalian.
