Chapter 63: The Sacrifice of the Beast God
"My plea finally touched the gods, and his voice sounded in the heavens and the earth: You are indeed innocent, and I can give you another chance, but it is up to you to fight for it. So...... I have established you as my messenger on the continent, acting in my place, just as the Pope of the Holy See of the Human Apocalypse. I will give you some of the power of God, and you will need to unite the orcs for me, so that all the orcs will come and worship me and offer their faith to me. When I see your sincerity, I will once again shed the light of protection on you!"
Baroque's voice echoed through the cave hall of the Ancestral Altar, telling of what had happened when he encountered the Light Envoy Rabonmore, and he had spoken to the shamans again with the words he had deceived the orcs of the Frostwolf Clan. All the shamans were listening quietly, whether they believed the Baroque words or not, they were silent.
"For the sake of the promise made by the gods, I have unified the White Deer Clan, and I have also had secret talks with the Great Chief of Plottoya of the War Bear Clan, and I will soon discuss the merger of the War Bear Clan and the Frost Wolf Clan. Then I sent an invitation to all the beast tribes, large and small, to go to the grassland of the horse land, and I will hold the grandest ceremony to worship the beast god, in order to use the unity of the entire beast tribe to win the beast god to shed the light of protection on us again. And the most important of these is undoubtedly the shamanic priests of the Valley of Miracles. As the guides of the beasts, they are the most suitable candidates to become servants of the beast gods. Therefore, I sincerely invite you to go to the grassland of the horse farm to preside over this ceremony of sacrificing to the beast god. But what did Honziktu do? Not only did he conceal my invitation, but he even wantonly insulted and desecrated the ceremony we were going to have. If the gods are angry because of what he did. Take this last chance out of our hands, and Honziktu will be the eternal sinner of the Orcs. I had no choice but to kill him to ask forgiveness from the beast god. ”
The shamans listened to the Baroque explanations. Still silent, they were still digesting the shock of the news. After all, there has never been a record of the beast gods in the history of the beasts, and they don't know if the Baroque is talking nonsense or if it is true...... Back then, there was really a beast god who was protecting the beast race, but then something happened that no one knew about, so that the beast god abandoned the beast race, so that the beast race was overthrown by humans and overthrew the hegemony. And then it has declined to this day.
If what Baroque says is true, then naturally Honziktu is innocent of death. But if what the Baroque says is false, then Honziktu must not die in vain.
Another great shaman who is unwilling. The blue-robed Hassinger glanced at Baroque. But the tragic death of Hong Ziktu just now really shocked him, so that he did not dare to act rashly, because he knew that his strength was not much stronger than Hong Ziktu, since Baroque could kill Hong Ziktu with one punch. You can easily kill him. Their die-hard shaman elders glanced at each other. Then they all looked at the High Priest of Silo.
Silo is also recalling Baroque's words, others may be suspecting Baroque of lying, but Silo is skeptical. Because he inherited the position of the white robed high priest, he was also the one closest to the altar of the ancestors. His shamanic powers also became much sharper, though he was unaware of the ...... looming on the altar The orcs believe in this strange power of their ancestors, but they can also feel its wonders. From the moment Baroque entered the ancestral altar this time, Silo felt that Baroque was different--Silo, of course, Silo would not know that Baroque was looming the power of releasing the fragment of Godhead left by [King Maudun].
The godhead was condensed by King Maudun with the help of the power of faith, and the divine power and terrifying aura would naturally shock Silo. That's why he heard Baroque's words. In fact, I already believe it in my heart. However, the other shamans did not have his keen sense, and they needed to be more clearly demonstrated by the Baroque.
"Ahem. Baroque, we can't just listen to what you say and believe it. Since you said that the beast god chose you to be his spokesman, can you show us miracles again? Even the smallest miracles are fine, and we are not doubting and blaspheming the gods, but we are just trying to strengthen our devout belief in the gods. Siro finally spoke everyone's heart.
Baroque hesitated for a moment: "Of course I can show you miracles, but the beast god told me that he had been conspired by some gods led by the god of light in the past, and his divine power has not fully recovered. If we reveal his miracles too often, if we alarm the God of Light, it will pose a threat to us orcs. The God of Light may immediately let his minions, the Heavenly Apocalypse Holy See, come and attack the northern tundra in a big way!"
"We are mortal enemies of the human race, even if we don't provoke them, will the humans still let us go?" Elder Orum, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his gaze eager: "Baroque shaman, show a miracle! Let's believe your words." I sincerely hope that what you say is true, even if it will lead to a massive attack by humans, we are eager to know that the beasts are also protected by gods, and that we are not a lonely and helpless race......!"
Orum's words stirred up the excitement of all the shamans, yes, if there really were gods protecting the orcs, then they would have great self-confidence, and they would know that they were no longer alone and helpless. Their faith has been supported since then, and it is worth paying some price for it.
Baroque wanted to shout happily in his heart, but his face was still cautious, and finally when the high priest of Silo also cast an eager glance at him, Baroque had to nod: "Okay, I can let you feel the power of the gods, but you better be prepared, because ...... The coercion of the gods is not so easy to bear!"
The totem beast Rak is not around, and the Baroque will naturally not release the totem beast. Moreover, shamanic sacrifices are a powerful group of people, and if you want to deter them, you need a more terrifying and powerful force. After all, this is the ancestral altar of the beast clan, and it is also inside the cave hall of the Valley of Miracles, and with the support of the simple version of the Star Totem Array built around, Baroque secretly opened the small black box containing the fragments of the godhead, and then released a trace of faith to excite it.
All shamans are waiting for the Baroque to perform miracles, the next moment...... Without warning, a stormy force struck. It's like the furious waves on the sea slapping a flat boat fiercely, all the shamans can't control their bodies, and they are all subdued by this force, they are drenched in cold sweat, their breath is miserable, and the mental oppression is even more terrifying. It's as if a giant lifted his foot and stepped on top of their heads, and the next moment it would be crushed into powder!"
Baroque was ashamed, he was protected by the purple thunder power of the Soul Sea, so he was naturally not afraid of the divine power invasion of the Godhead fragments, and in order to deter the shaman sacrifices, the power released was a little bigger. Hurriedly withdrew the power of faith, and at the same time closed the black locket and quietly put it away. It's very good, the release of divine power is just right, neither breaking through the scope of the ancestral altar, nor being perceived by external forces.
The terrifying suffocating divine power gradually subsided and subsided, and everyone including Shaman Siro was lying on the ground panting, and none of them could stand up!
However, these old guys, who seem to have been ravaged 10,000 times, have experienced this torture, not only are they not afraid, but their faces are full of surprise and fanatical brilliance. Even those who were with Honziktu, the die-hard priests, led by Hassinger, completely changed their minds. -- They are certainly conservative and paranoid, but once such people are impressed by the true divine power, they will become the most staunch and fanatical believers.
Baroque succeeded, he knew that he had completed all the layouts for the creation of gods, and the most critical moment was left!
Sira slowly stood up, and all the shamans looked at Baroque, their eyes already full of awe. The High Priest with a hint of respect: "Baroque Divine Envoy ......"
"High priest, you should call me Baroque, I am not a divine envoy, I am only a spokesman of God. When the orcs resumed their faith and worship of the beast gods, I was still just an ordinary orc. And the Beast God Temple, which will definitely be built in the future, naturally needs the presiding of you and the shaman elders. ”
Baroque's words immediately won the favor of everyone. Yes, the beast clan has a god to believe in, so it is natural to build a [Beast God Temple]. The shamanic priests have been transformed into sacrificial servants of the beast gods, which is not unremarkable. Even if the Baroque dominates the beast race in the future, even if he becomes the king of the beast race, he still has enough respect for the beast god temple. In other words, the shamans will not suffer much loss in terms of influence and rights. What could be more perfect?
There was no objection, and the shamans were eagerly looking forward to rushing to the grassland of the horse farm to join the Frostwolf Clan...... No, it should be a ceremony held by the entire beast clan to sacrifice the beast god!
All shamans salute the Baroque...... He is the spokesman of the gods at the moment. Then the shaman elders departed to prepare for the rush to the grasslands of the horse farm. As for the dead Honziktu............ He was quietly carried away and buried by his apprentice, and no one cared about him anymore. This is the same chicken that was used by the Baroque as an example to kill chickens and monkeys!
After solving the big problem, Baroque suddenly remembered that he had another thing, the gray dwarves were still waiting for news from him!
Regarding Baroque's proposal to let the gray dwarves migrate to the Valley of Miracles, Sirosa was full of promises, and was even very happy, and said with a teasing smile: "Baroque, I thought you were going to hide the gray dwarves from others! Haha, let them come, anyway, we orcs don't know how to mine and forge, and the mountains around the Valley of Miracles are too rich in ore veins, which will make the gray dwarves like it." As the only friendly race of the Orcs, we will welcome them warmly. ”
Well, all the problems are solved, and the Baroque is in a good mood. Just wait to return to the grassland of the horse breeding land and prepare for the so-called 'sacrifice to the beast god' ceremony! )
