69. The Achilles' heel of the Green Cross

Valentina listened intently to Dardo's story. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis is the first time she has come into contact with the detailed information about Wanyuan Ancestral Pool. Previously, the low-ranking Green Cross cultists could only provide very vague information.

It is said that Wanyuan Ancestral Pond is a regular pentagonal pool. The area of the pool is small, and each side of the pentagonal shape is only five meters long. The pool was filled with a green viscous liquid rich in strange energy. It is said that just one drop of this liquid can cause a person to undergo a radical mutation.

According to Dardo, the Green Cross cultists' method of expanding their ranks was to raid civilians everywhere. These captive civilians will face a terrible process of elimination. They would be kept alone in pits without any food or water.

This process lasts for three days. Every day, the Green Cross cultists check on the condition of these people. Those who died after the first day and those who died were sent to make flesh golems. And after the second day passes, those who are not in good shape will be made into cult puppets. Only those who survive three days and are still alive will be chosen to transform into a new corrupt practitioner.

Only male civilians go through this process, and female civilians are screened directly. Both the ugly and the old will be sent to make flesh golems. The rest will suffer terrible experiences until they grow old and ugly, and are consumed as materials for flesh golems.

According to Dardo, only men can be transformed into corrupt walkers or cult puppets. As long as the women touched a little of the liquid in the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool, it would melt on the spot. So far, there have been no successful examples of women being transformed by Wanyuan Ancestral Pool. The only exception may be the Reverse Rakshasa, a method of transforming women using the Ancestral Pool of Ten Thousand Sources. Archbishop Amal has always been obsessed with creating an anti-rakshasa. This is because the Reverse Rakshasa is a legendary-level combat power as long as it is manufactured. This is crucial for the Green Cross cult, which is in a state of lack of high-end force. In Amar's opinion, once the reverse rakshasa can be mass-produced, then the Green Cross cult will conquer the entire plane and spread the great cause of true god belief will be very promising.

The process of turning a normal person into a cult puppet is very easy. The victim is completely unaware of anything, and has completely lost his will and has become a living puppet who obeys his orders. Only a drop of liquid from the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool was needed to transform hundreds of people. Dilute the liquid in the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool a hundred times, and then go through the mysterious processing of the Green Cross Cult, you will get a terrifying potion. If a victim to be transformed into a cult puppet is given a sip of the potion, the tongue in the victim's mouth will shrink away, and a disgusting and strange creature will grow in the same place as the original tongue. The creature's tail will be inserted directly into the victim's brain, destroying the victim's memories and feelings, and manipulating the victim's body. The whole victim seems to have become the movable armor of such a monster from then on.

However, the intelligence of the puppets created in this way is very underground. Because the part of the human body disappears, leaving only the basic intelligence of the monster, which can only carry out simple commands such as attacking, fleeing, guarding, and carrying.

It is precisely because of low intelligence that even the Green Cross cult only creates a small number of such living puppets. More often than not, cultists would rather spend more resources to create flesh golems for simple jobs than to craft a fleet of fragile living golems.

The real workhorse of the Green Cross cult is the low-level cultists. That is, people who have participated in the transformation of the Corrupt Walker, but have not been able to become a Corrupt Walker.

The process of rehabilitating the Corrupt is nothing short of a collection of tortures. In order to completely erase the humanity of the reformed, each reformed person will be subjected to inhuman torture in a row. The first step is to peel off all the skin of the modified person except for the face. It is then soaked in a container filled with a weakly corrosive liquid. After this step, there is also the torture of a live barbecue. The Green Cross cult calls these three steps the Three Tests.

These steps are not necessary, just to make the victims feel the greatest pain, to crush their will, and to turn them completely inhumane and insane.

The vast majority of people will have a nervous breakdown during these three ordeals.

And the Green Cross cult is exactly the one who needs such a mental breakdown. They will brainwash these people who have a nervous breakdown into crazy sadists who believe in the true God of the future.

Next, after three tests, the victim who has completed the brainwashing will be allowed to undergo the Corrupt Walker Reform. They will be thrown directly into the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool. Inside, the bruised victims will mutate. Some of them won't survive the mutation and will melt into the pool. Others have survived, but their bodies are not corrupt enough. These people will become the most basic low-level cultists of the Green Cross cult, and there will be no room for improvement.

Only when the entire face is completely mutated, the disgusting guy without a trace of human appearance will be considered to have been successfully transformed and become a real corrupt walker.

The corrupt walkers born in this situation were all middle-level members of the Green Cross Cult, and they were transformed by the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool, which was rich in strange energy, and directly became professionals above level ten. Fortunately, the chances of success are low. Most of the time, the chance of a corrupt walker being born is less than 1 in 10.

In addition to this method of expanding the manpower by forcibly abducting civilians, there are also special classes within the Green Cross cult.

This special class is the children and students of the fallen druids and alchemists who founded the Green Cross cult in the first place.

They are considered to be an absolutely trustworthy group of people, absolutely loyal to the Green Cross cult and the so-called true gods. They don't need to go through horrific torture before they can be directly reformed by corrupt practitioners.

This view has been proven wrong today. Because Dardo is one of such a special class.

"Having said all that, then how come you don't have any rotten appearance?" Valentina carefully examined Dardo, discovering that he was completely normal in appearance.

"This is because I have surpassed fifteen levels of the evolution level of the Corrupt Walker. At this point, I don't show any outward anomalies. ”

"In other words, as long as the level is more than fifteen, the corrupt practitioner can't be distinguished from the appearance!"

Because of this news, Valentina felt that it was difficult to completely eliminate the Green Cross cult. Those high-ranking cultists can easily blend in with the crowds on the surface. It seems that we still have to use the bottom of the kettle to cut off the fundamentals!

"Okay. So where is the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool?"

"Actually, I don't know the specific location of Wanyuan Ancestral Pool. Daldo's answer made Valentina feel fooled. But soon, before she could get angry, Dardo's next words surprised her.

"But I'm sure Wanyuan Ancestral Pool isn't on our plane. It should be in a separate half-plane. I have been in and out of the place where the Wanyuan Ancestral Pond is located several times. I don't see much from the outside, but when I walk through that door, I always feel like I'm traveling in a dimensional dimension. ”

Dardo said a lot in one breath. He looked at Valentina and saw that the other party showed no signs of annoyance that he couldn't provide the exact location of the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool. This reassured him and raised his voice a little.

"This half-plane belongs to the Green Cross's top secret. I've only heard about it from a teacher who passed away. But this half-plane is most likely to be opened and closed by an object. It was a golden scepter that Archbishop Amal carried on him at all times. ”

"The Golden Scepter, are you sure?"

"Yes. My lord. I'm sure. That scepter was accessible only to the archbishops of each generation. And the archbishop never reveals it lightly. But every time he entered the half-plane where the Wanyuan Ancestral Pool was located, the archbishop would hold this golden scepter in his hand. ”

"Good. You provided very important information. "Valentina feels like she's found a way to eradicate the Green Cross cult once and for all. Just find the archbishop and snatch the golden scepter. Then the Green Cross cult will never be able to give birth to new corrupt practitioners. This is the death penalty imposed on the Green Cross, with a suspended execution.

"Tell me where the archbishop is?"

"The archbishop is in the Temple of the True God. However, it is heavily guarded, and the Archbishop himself is a legendary powerhouse of the Druid profession. It is very dangerous for you to go alone, my lord. Dardo heard that Valentina was planning to kill the archbishop directly, and hurriedly advised her not to take risks.

"You have a point. Valentina nodded, thinking that Dardo had a point. The Archbishop of the Green Cross, Amal is much older than her, and has been a legendary powerhouse for many years. This means that the other party's professional level must be higher than hers, and it is likely that they are all close to the high-level legendary level. In the face of such an enemy, even if she can inspire the dual realms to fight, she does not dare to say that she will have the upper hand in a one-on-one battle. What's more, the other party has presided over the Green Cross for many years, and must have mastered many sinister and vicious strange spells. In addition, all kinds of equipment and props accumulated over the years and a large group of subordinates. If she really single-handedly and stupidly killed the True God Temple, then the best result would be to escape in disgrace.

There is only one chance of such a raid on Archbishop Amal Amer. If you don't succeed once, the other party will definitely transfer. Now the Green Cross cult does not yet know that Dardo has surrendered to itself. This is your greatest advantage. This advantage must be ensured to be played in the most important place.

Where can I find some help?

Valentina misses her men and women. It's a pity they couldn't have come here. The area she passed through along the way would be considered a Jedi for most people.

"By the way, Daldo, what are you doing in this area?" suddenly a thought popped into Valentina's head. How could a high-ranking Green Cross cultist like Dardo appear alone in a cave, and he had escaped from a journey to another dimension?

"This. My lord. I was ambushed by your men. I used a spell to escape. Dardo's face turned a little pale, and he clearly thought of the stalagmites that had been smashed down with a roar.

"Where's the ambush? There's our team around here?" Just guess that there might be other problems nearby. Sure enough, isn't this a helper?

Dardo pointed in the right direction. "It's over there. There is a deep valley prison. It was conquered not long ago by a team from outside. That's what I'm leading the team to counterattack there. As a result, I was ambushed on the way, and I was the only one who escaped. ”

"How strong are the people who ambushed you?"

"I don't know. We're done with it all at once. They threw dozens of tons of stones on the heads of my team. As he spoke, Dardo shuddered with palpitations.

"You're useless. Valentina could see that she was a coward. "Now, take me to that prison. ”
