Chapter 244: Sacrificial Tower
In the afternoon, the Desert Duke's Palace, in the underground secret room.
The bodies of four dead bodies, two men and two women, were transported here.
Li Jun arranged them in a row, brought a vessel filled with mixed beast blood, and placed it in front of the four corpses.
The four bodies had died just a few days before, their bodies had become cold and had been stored in freezers, all of whom had been executed by the leaders who had been executed for a deliberate riot.
During Li Jun's retreat, Shu Ke interfered in the political affairs of the principality without authorization, increasing taxes for nearly four years, until the moment Li Jun left the customs, ordered the city hall to reduce taxes by six layers, and removed four officials from their posts and sent them to other places for retirement.
In this regard, the church chose to remain silent, and the people's resentment reached the highest, after seeing Li Jun so strong, he vented all the resentment in his heart, and no longer feared the clergy, but sneered, and secretly called them "Bharata".
(Note: The legendary ancestor of the Gong pig in the mouth of the desert people, named Bharata)
Angry Shuke, ordered the knights to hang up more than a dozen civilians who were the most happy and whipped, until Li Jun arrived with his personal guards, he saved the more than ten innocent civilians, and each of them was compensated with fifty gold coins.
"Praise the merciful Duke, these gods are so bullying, that they have been preaching the light?ahh
The people of the desert peoples, such as the Tucker, Ilife, and Panmei, were all indignant, including the aborigines of the desert capital, who had been resentful of Shuke for a long time.
Li Jun comforted him in a good voice, and then he coughed lightly and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the taxes increased by Bishop Shuke before have been exempted by me, and from now on, the Principality of the Great Desert will be reduced by six layers under the existing tax base! Three years later, the original tax will be restored...... During this time, I have been struggling with cultivation and neglecting the problems of the governance of the principality, but I promise that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future......
"Today, I took out 10,000 gold coins to hold an ale wine festival in Modu, and all ale wine and barbecue are free!
"Long live the Duke!"
"Hooray!!"
......
At night, more than nine o'clock, people still did not disperse, drinking and eating in the ale square, the lights of the whole desert were bright, the night was not closed, tonight, it was the carnival day of the desert, with a series of measures launched by Li Jun, countless opposition forces suddenly collapsed and ceased to exist.
Those who have bad intentions and resist are all pressed into prison to await trial.
Anyway, it is impossible for the church to make the desert people believe in the light in this generation, and regard the goddess of light as the only 'true god', the best way is to start with the children, to the next generation of small citizens, to instill the doctrine of light, and brainwash.
And during this time, there are ten or twenty years, and who knows that during this period, some changes will not happen?
In the underground secret room, Li Jun put nearly 100 kinds of medicinal materials and dozens of kinds of beast blood into the utensils one after another, and the blood was bubbling and boiling, bursting with bubbles, extremely gloomy and weird.
The vessel was steaming with a mist of blood, and Li Jun took off his coat, revealing a black sacrificial robe, and the sacrificial scepter rested horizontally on his legs.
Li Jun closed his eyes, his lips hummed, the mysterious sacrificial language kept spitting out, and the utensils in front of him suddenly trembled.
"Rebellion: Blood and soul return, mental power to die......"
"Hum~~"
There was a humming sound, and four thick wisps of blood mist turned into filaments, floated out of the vessel, and went down the nostrils of the four dead corpses.
Rumble!!
The night sky suddenly exploded with a thunderclap, triggering the screams of countless people.
"He's a Bharata!, why did there suddenly thunder on such a good day?" a merchant scolded, shuddering and getting dressed and getting up from the bewitching Yanji.
In the underground secret room, Li Jun closed his eyes, but he clearly saw four light sources, floating aimlessly in the endless plane.
Gradually, one, two, three, four...... Countless soul origins floated out from the major material planes, life planes, and even the destruction planes, just like a stream flowing into a great river and several great rivers converging into a sea, and with the passage of time, they finally arrived at the same place or the same plane.
"Is that the hell plane?" Li Jun muttered softly, this is a kind of speculation of his, and it has not been confirmed, although the canon of the church clearly states that there is indeed hell in this world, there is an evil god of hell, and it is the place where evil heretics will eventually go, but as a modern person who has crossed here from the earth, Li Jun does not believe in this trick at all.
In the previous life, those sects always preached something like this, deifying the pioneers, founders, and developers of the sects, deceiving the ignorant people, and acting as a savior and a guide to the saints.
Beji once called on the god of hell, and was willing to sacrifice her body and soul to the god of hell, and took Angela into hell with her, but there was no movement at all.
As the daughter of light, Becky is undoubtedly one of the beings closest to the light, and before she died, she cursed the goddess of light, and for the first and only time, she questioned her beliefs, which shows that the hell plane should not exist, and the god of hell should also be a trick made up by the church to deceive people.
Li Jun no longer hesitated, reciting the sacrificial language, and the sound of cordial calls suddenly resounded through the endless dimensional space.
The four groups of soul origins, which were no longer conscious, suddenly stopped, as if hesitating, and then turned around and floated back following the sound of the call.
Boom! Boom!
Outside, there were three earth-shattering thunderstorms, and in the south of the Tulip Empire, there was an ancient temple in a magnificent city.
In that ancient temple, there was an old man who had been meditating and meditating, and his eyes suddenly opened.
"Coro...... No, there is a blasphemous power in the Tulip Empire!" the old man shouted, and several shadows suddenly emerged from the void, bowed down at the old man, and then disappeared out of thin air like a ghost, and in the vast night, like a messenger from hell, drifted away into the distance.
Burst!
The utensils exploded, and the hot beast blood sprayed out, Li Jun coughed up a mouthful of blood, and after snorting slightly, he covered his bleeding eyes and flew out.
Bang, bang, bang!
The four bodies of two men and two women caught fire on the ground, and in an instant they were reduced to ashes, and not a single bone residue remained.
Li Jun was slightly stunned, and then silently, it seemed that with his current strength, he could not succeed in 'going against his fate', and he was attacked halfway, and almost got into trouble.
Took out a warm towel and carefully wiped the corners of his eyes, the whole towel was dyed red, and his eyeballs were covered with bloodshots, which was terrifying.
Li Jun took a light breath, lit a mark, and rested against the wall for a while.
All night, Li Jun kept conducting divination experiments, and after a few days of almost forgetting to sleep and eat, he walked out of the underground secret room.
"Master, are you alright?" asked Blaise with a frown, a little worried.
Li Jun pale face, stretched his waist, rubbed her hair with a smile, and said, "Go, prepare a plate for me...... No, four plates of barbecue, six barrels of ale wine, sir, I want to drink wine and eat meat. ”
Blaise laughed and hummed, in her opinion, since the master can drink wine and eat meat, it proves that there is no big problem, the two rough little hands, wiped the apron, trotted all the way to the kitchen, and began to ask the maids to prepare food.
"Lord Duke, are you looking for me?" Toll walked in and bowed respectfully to Li Jun's chest.
"Thor, you now go and gather some experienced craftsmen and arrive at my castle on time at one o'clock in the afternoon. Li Jun said.
Thor nodded, and then walked away from the Duke's castle.
The midday lunch was sumptuous, with a plate of fruit salad, a plate of cheese, four plates of roasted meat, six barrels of ale, and a small glass of white wine...... Taste wine and think about the old people.
Blaise chewed slowly on the side, raising his head from time to time to look at Li Jun.
After taking a sip of the ale, Blaise coughed lightly and asked in a low voice, "Master, it's 4835 A.D......."
Li Jun glanced at her obliquely, and sighed.
Blaise bit her lip lightly and said, "Miss Mok'er's filial piety days should have passed......"
Li Jun was silent for a moment and said, "I'm ...... Ask. ”
Blaise was stunned, blinked his eyes, and asked cautiously, "Could it be that the master is afraid...... Miss Kerr?"
"Three years...... I need to inquire. Li Jun whispered.
Blaise buttoned her apron and swallowed a piece of barbecue, her heart was extremely complicated, she not only hoped that Li Jun and Mo Keer could achieve a positive result, but also secretly cursed Mo Keer to empathize and not fall in love......

In the afternoon, a large number of craftsmen stood solemnly on the square in the Duke's castle, like soldiers, waiting for Duke Li Jun's review.
Li Jun rubbed his stomach, slowly walked out of the shadows, squinted his eyes, took a sunhat from Blaize's hand, held a mark, and lightly spit out a mouthful of clouds.
"Lord Duke, these craftsmen are the top craftsmen in the entire desert capital, and each of them has been in the business for decades. "Tour.
Li Jun swept his eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and then took this group of craftsmen to a high hill outside the Modu City.
"Is it difficult for me to build a high platform here?"
"It's not difficult at all!"
"I want to build the tallest tower on the continent, is it difficult?"
"Uh...... How tall does the Duke want to be?"
"You can get as tall as you can!"
......
The craftsmen looked at each other, lowered their voices, and exchanged words for a moment, and an elderly craftsman stood up, stroked Li Jun's chest and said, "Dear Duke, we can give it a try! Although we dare not guarantee that we can build the tallest tower in the whole continent, the height of five hundred meters is still possible. ”
Li Jun smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, please start construction now, the sooner the better." (To be continued.) )
