Chapter 414: Initial Contact
Mu rested silently. Although his heart was as anxious as being bitten by countless insects, he had to suppress his urge and regain his strength. Soon, my great Lord, I will soon come to you. The tattoos on the presiding priest of the Mother of the Crypt flow in a pattern that occurs to all cultists who have not yet been converted into smugglers. As they go deeper underground, they can all feel the call of the evil gods they worship through the "divine lines" on their skins. The throbbing throbbed them further in, beneath the surface, awakening a being that had been sleeping for too long. Unlike Mu, most of the cultists have no way to control themselves in this throbbing, and the overly strong desire is enough to destroy the fragile sanity of ordinary people, and they may become uncontrollable madmen at any time, which is the main reason why the Order has to convert a large number of ordinary cultists into Radno.
On the other hand, although the collapse of the Molten Iron City made it impossible for the Hammer Grand Duke and his soldiers to stop the Order, the violent concussion also changed the underground passages beneath the city, and the map they had originally obtained from their underground people was completely useless, and Mu and his priests had to find a new way to the lower levels. This is undoubtedly a difficult thing to do, the dwarven-designed underground labyrinth still retains quite a few remnants even after the collapse of the surface structure, and they greatly confuse the sights and ears of the Mother of the Crypt, not to mention the other inhabitants who have been intentionally or unintentionally thrown into this sewer and the nezumi who have sniffed the blood and followed the Order.
It would be nice if the witch had left later. Mu sometimes wondered if the witch named Kuyla could drive insects to explore places that normal humans couldn't reach, which would make them much faster. Thinking of the witch, the priestess remembered that he had promised Kuira to retrieve her two companions who had infiltrated the Molten Iron City. He lifted the top of his smooth head and reached out to catch the dripping water from the crevices in the rocks above, it would be easy to find two witches in such a place, and it was uncertain whether they were still alive or not. If you miss the appointment with the other party, you will have to suffer the revenge from the Heartless Witch Clan, and the irritability grows in Mu's heart, and you must wake up the Lord faster, as long as you have the protection of the Lord, these problems will not be a problem. The chief priest of the evil god opened his eyelids, which were also tattooed with strange patterns, and silently listened to the sound of footsteps approaching him.
"Lord Priest, a brother came with a girl who claimed to be a witch. The priest who still maintained his human body trembled and reported that the believers who still maintained their human bodies at this time were all senior and extremely powerful existences, and in normal times, they might all serve as the regional leaders of the Mother of the Crypt faith, but in Mu's place, they were like Protestants on the first day of their initiation.
The tattoos on Mu's body stopped trembling, and his relationship with the existence he worshipped was much more than mere faith, which made him a little calmer than these fanatical believers in front of him. "I see, take me to see it. He got up and tidied up the brown robe on his body slightly, unlike ordinary believers, there was no decoration on the robe of the main priest. It's just that this simple brown robe is worn on Mu's body, but it makes people feel as if they are staring at a secluded cave, and what is in the shadow is completely unpredictable.
The informant soon led Mu to a junction where a large number of Earth Mother believers had gathered, and when they sensed the arrival of the priest, they voluntarily bowed down to make way of a road, revealing Peg and Karus beside her. "Miss Peg, it is a pleasure to see you again. A warm smile appeared on Mu's face, but it looked eerie on his tattooed face.
The witch gently lifted the corners of her skirt with both hands, and said hello to the other party. Even the Demon Descendant had to sigh at the composure that Peg showed at this time, and there was no clue at all from her, was she a natural actor? This can't help but the killer began to think about how much of the fear that the other party showed for himself before was real. "I should be glad that without you and your kind parishioners, I would have fallen under the minions of those savage ratmen. The witch laughed, unable to tell how much of what she said was true or false. However, the blood stains on Peg's clothes provide quite strong support for this statement.
"That's our pleasure. Mu nodded, his gaze on Radno beside the witch. The demon disguised as a snakehead was also covered in a large amount of blood, which he had dug up from the nezumi corpse and wiped it on his body after discussing it with Peg. "You too, my brother. You have provided protection to our allies, and your merits are known to the Lord. Krus bowed in horror, and his heart sneered.
The priest looked back at Peg, and he quickly realized that the girl in front of him, although indeed the witch he knew, seemed to have something wrong. "With all due respect, Miss Pegg. It's a bit rude, but can you still unleash your magic now?" Hearing this question, Peg and Clarus were nervous, and they knew that whether they could make a passage to the ground depended on how to answer the question.
The long-haired witch looked embarrassed, and she even looked away at the ground at her feet. After a moment, he spoke, "I'm sorry, but my magic was sealed by the gray-robed mage on the Molten Iron side when I was caught. Although I managed to escape from those goddamn fools after the city collapsed, I can't cast the spell right now. At this point, Peg's statement was no different from what she and the Demon Descendant had prepared, and then as long as she naturally continued the topic, she proposed that the other party send a few people to send her back to a safer ground first, so as to get the exit information. But the witch's next words shocked Clarus's heart, "Can you help me break this seal?" asked Peg as he looked at Mu with an expectant expression.
Damn, what is this witch going to do? Fortunately, the muscles on the snake's head are difficult to make subtle expressions, otherwise even the killer's heart will inevitably show flaws when he hears the witch's speech that is tantamount to betrayal. Rao was like this, and the demon was really a little surprised, he never thought that this witch named Peg would have such courage, wasn't she afraid that she would immediately give up her disguise and kill her on the spot? Or was she sure that she would not dare to give up this operation for the sake of those people in the Molten Iron City? either way, she would have to pay for it.
The brown-robed priest thought for a moment, and he stretched out his right hand, "It's rude." With that, she put it on Peg's forehead, and as the tattoo on Mu's body fluttered, the witch could feel that something different from magic was probing her body. Of course she didn't like this kind of peeping, it was far more uncomfortable than physical nudity, but Peg was fed up with the days of no power, she was born with the ability to cast spells! If this cultist could lift the curse of the cursed crow immediately, she would not hesitate to tear up the deal with the demon descendants, and Peg believed that as long as she got her magic back, she would have the strength to fight even in the face of Krus.
The probe didn't last long, and when Mu removed his hand from Peg's forehead, both the witch and the killer were ready to make a move with each other. However, this did not happen after all, and the main priest shook his head at Peg with a somewhat helpless expression on his face, "I'm sorry, Miss Peg. But I've never seen the shackles on you, and I can't guarantee what will happen if you try to break them by force. "Of course this is a lie, the Mother of the Crypt is much more powerful than magic and curses, and Mu also has the ability to control the divine power with precision, but he is not willing to do so. There is no need to waste a lot of energy on regaining the magic of this little witch, and awakening Mother Earth as soon as possible is the most important thing to consider now.
"That's right. Peg said smugly, but without showing much disappointment, she glanced at the snakehead disguised as Korus, intentionally or unintentionally, and winked mischievously. Of course, no one knows whether the Demon Descendants will accept such an apology.
