Chapter 123: Ancient Magic Array
"I lost, so ......completely," Bella VII nodded bitterly, then turned to Lihid and asked, "Lihid, I did underestimate you, but I really can't imagine that you have been captured by us in the first place, and your magic is restricted, how did you escape under my nose?"
"Oh, Your Majesty, it's actually nothing, after all, I want to thank you for lending us the ancient magic array under the obelisk white tower, it is really a relic of the era of the Dark Horse Empire, and the effect is very unusual. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Elder Liched was extremely kind at the moment, and if it weren't for the bloody human head on the table, he would have looked as amiable as the uncle next door.
"Could it be that you have repaired the Ancient Magic Array!" Bella VII couldn't help but shudder, as the ruler of the kingdom, he knew better than anyone else the power of the Ancient Magic Array after it was completely restored.
"It seems that I still underestimated you too much, and I didn't expect you to be able to repair that magic array that even the magister was helpless about......" Bella VII smiled bitterly, "It seems that the purpose of borrowing the magic array from the beginning was not so simple. β
"Hehe......" Liched stroked his beard and smiled, "each other, Your Majesty's purpose of taking us in at the beginning is probably not so simple." We can't talk about who deceived whom, we just take what we need, but it's a pity that Your Majesty made a bad move and misjudged the situation, so he ended up like this......" Lihid waved his hand, and several heavily armed guards immediately put Bella VII out.
"Your Majesty, I'm really sorry, the morale of the army in the city is fluctuating, and your life still has some surplus value for us. β
The next morning, the rebels had completely taken control of the situation, and Lihid secretly put the king under house arrest, and while the crowd was in turmoil, the rebels wasted no time in announcing that a miracle was about to befall the city of Crete, and that the true gods would bless them with victory.
The crowd gradually settled down, expecting the miracle to come, and the morale of the people, which had been reduced to freezing, gradually increased. After all, most of the city's inhabitants were Moses, and anything related to the Lord God of Moses would drive them into a frenzy. As for King BΓ©la VII...... He had betrayed the Lord God of Moses at an early age, and when Elder Lichd ordered him to be beheaded for apostasy, blasphemy, and heresy, he received a lot of applause from fanatics.
"Elder Lihid, the remaining units of the City Guards have sworn in the Holy War and pledged allegiance to us. With a beaming face, Garg brought good news to Lishid.
"Well, that couldn't be better. Lihid clapped his hands and laughed, "After all, the Iliad is a Mosesian country after all, as long as they see hope and strengthen their faith, many things can be solved for us." β
"You're right, Elder. Garg glanced faintly at the fanatical crowd in the distance, "But we can't rely on empty promises to expect everyone to die for us, now that the St. John's Imperial Army is in the city, if we can't reverse the unfavorable situation on the battlefield, the morale of these Cretan soldiers and civilians may collapse again." β
"Hehe, don't worry, Garg. Elder Lihid smiled and said, "The soul of the Holy Maiden is far more powerful than you think, and as long as the sacrifice ritual is completed, the divine power of the true god will be able to help us complete all the restoration work." β
"Elder, when will the sacrificial ritual be completed?" a complicated look passed through Garg's eyes.
"As soon as tonight. Lihid unhurriedly pulled out a scroll, "You just wait to see the show." β
At night, Elder Liched walked into the obelisk tower with a black package in his hand, and Garg followed him from a distance, as he walked into the obelisk with a solemn face in his hand.
The bottom gate of the obelisk was opened, and the group followed Elder Lihid up the steps, and in the light of the fire, a huge magic circle engraved on the ground loomed.
Lihid tore open a scroll in his hand and whispered a spell, and a moment later, with a fluctuation of heart-pounding energy, a large green six-pointed star pattern flickered in the ancient magic circle.
"God is great!" everyone knelt on the ground and cheered loudly, and the Moses symbol that appeared in the ancient magic circle made everyone look extremely excited.
As the incantation was chanted, the six-pointed star shone brightly, and when Lihid finished chanting, almost the entire obelisk white tower was illuminated by the six-pointed star.
With a long breath, Liched carefully opened the black package beside him, revealing a dark brown box carved with intricate strips.
"Garg, I still have a spell to cast on my side, please put this soul box in the six-pointed star, and the sacrifice will begin. Without expression, Lihid handed the box containing his daughter's soul into Galg's hands.
Garg reached out to catch it, but was stunned for a moment.
"Why, you can't bear it?" Lichd sighed in disappointment as if he had read through his thoughts, "I know you like her and are reluctant to give up, but you must know that after Isis betrayed Moses, my father's heart is not good, but faith is above all else, and those who blaspheme the true God will be punished, and this is already the best destination for my rebellious daughter." β
Seeing that Garg was still staring at the soul box in a daze, Lihid couldn't help but burn a wave of anger in his heart, and pointed at Garge's nose and shouted: "Garg! You are a jihad! Dare to make trade-offs at critical moments! Don't blindly indulge in the love of children!"
"I don't indulge in my childlike affection anymore, Elder Lishid. Garg held the soul box and stood up straight, his eyes staring directly at the magic circle in front of him, his face engraved with determination, "I confess, I do love your daughter, the former saint Isis, I still loved her after she betrayed her faith in the true God, and even at the last moment I tried to save her life. β
He bowed his head, gently stroked the soul box in his hand, and said with regret: "It's a pity, I love her so much, but she has always been cold to me, and after learning that she finally committed suicide for that infidel, I no longer have any attachment to her......
"Well, it's good that you can think like that......" Lihid nodded, but wondered, "But why are you hesitating, this is an opportunity to turn the tide of the holy war!"
"Elder, I'm just wondering if the former saint Isis had adulterated with heretics during her lifetime, and her words and deeds blasphemed the great true God, and the true God would still accept her unclean soul?"
"Hehe, don't worry!" Elder Lihid smiled with a hint of relief, "I had such doubts before, but after hundreds of trials over the past few days, I have found that my rebellious daughter's soul can fully meet the requirements of sacrifice!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Let the sacrifice begin!" When they heard this, they were all impatient and ecstatic.
Garg no longer hesitated, and strode into the radiant six-pointed star, placing the box that held Isis's soul in it.
Lichd's eyes were slightly closed, and he chanted another unknown incantation. The soul box was slowly opened, and a translucent figure gradually emerged, only to see her flying up and down in the six-pointed starlight array, sometimes turning into a hazy white mist, sometimes showing a beautiful shadow, she continued to struggle, trying to break free from the terrible bondage, but the powerful magical energy limited her range of movement to the miserable green six-pointed starlight array.
As the incantation was chanted, the sacrificial ritual gradually began, and Garg turned around and walked out of the ancient magic circle without looking back.
After a long spell from Lihid's mouth was finally chanted, he breathed a long sigh of relief and shouted to the crowd with amplification magic: "The sacrifice has begun, the soul tribute has been offered, please pray with our priests, that the Almighty God will absorb the souls we have sacrificed for him, and may the blessing of the True God make us invincible!"
"God is great!" A large group of Moses in black robes in the obelisk white tower raised their arms and shouted wildly, and they all took out the "Ancient Book of Moses" prepared in advance from their sleeve robes.
Looking at the frenzied crowd, Lihid couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, these Moses who were allowed to enter the Obelisk White Tower were almost all extremely fanatical mujahideen, and many of them were magic apprentices with rough magic, which greatly increased the chances of a successful sacrifice.
Surrounded by the crowd, the six priests came over in turn and slowly sat down next to the ancient magic array, their positions corresponding to the six corners of the six-pointed star.
After sitting down, the six priests took out their wands one after another, applied a amplification magic to themselves, and then began their chanting, the six-pointed star in the magic array gradually expanded with their chanting, and the ancient magic array seemed to be activated, bursting out with bursts of strong magic element fluctuations, and after a while, it actually began to slowly rotate around the outer edge of the six-pointed star.
The chanting of the six priests resounded throughout the obelisk white tower with amplification magic, causing hundreds of holy warriors in the tower to exclaim feverishly, shouting that the true God is great, miracles have come-------- and the six priests are not chanting any magic spell at all, but the "Ancient Book of Moses" that all Moses are extremely familiar with!
For a time, encouraged by this, all the jihadists consciously opened the Book of Moses in their hands, and recited in unison to the rhythm of the six priests, and Elder Lihid raised his wand, still half-kneeling, and prayed sincerely: "Creator of the world, Almighty God! Listen to our prayers, and your faithful believers are willing to sacrifice the holiest soul in exchange for your infinite divine power...... I swear by my soul, and I will spread the teachings of the true God with my life!"
"I will spread the teachings of the true God with my life!" the surrounding jihadists fell to their knees and chanted reverently.
The light of the six-pointed star gradually spread to the outer magic array, but the white soul in the array suddenly couldn't move, the translucent body continued to tremble, the handsome face was distorted in pain, and the mouth let out a silent wail.
A moment later, the sky above the obelisk white tower suddenly brightened as day, and the tower body exuded a charming seven-colored luster, and in the exclamation of everyone, countless complex runes on the ancient magic array began to flicker, like the stars arching over the moon, slowly rotating around the dark green six-pointed star.
The struggling soul in the center of the circle was gradually becoming blurred, but at the last moment of her disappearance, the earth trembled slightly, and Lihid and the others were overjoyed---------, and the coveted ancient magic array was finally repaired with the assistance of the magic of Lord Moses.
Lihid cleared his throat and shouted excitedly to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, a miracle has befallen the city of Crete! With the blessing of the Almighty God, we will be able to turn the tide once and for all, and win!"
The crowd burst into enthusiastic cheers, some shouting praises for the kindness of the true God, and some frantically kissing the Book of Moses in their hands.
Lihid waved his hand, signaling the boiling crowd to calm down, his face full of irrepressible excitement, "With the blessing of the true god, we have completely restored this ancient magic array from a thousand years ago, everyone wait a little longer, the messenger of the prophet will soon descend in front of you!"
Amid the wild shouts of the crowd, Lihid sat around the ancient magic circle with the six priests and a group of magicians. With the chanting of dozens of magicians, the golden runes in the array gradually floated in the air, forming a half-moon-shaped arch.
"O messenger of the Prophet, listen to our call to support the Iliad's crusade!" Finally, with a loud cry from Lichd, the half-moon-shaped arch slowly opened, and a dazzling white light suddenly shot out from the door, piercing the eyes of the people.
"O believers of the Iliad, your devotion has been rewarded with the gift of the true God, and I, the Magister Ahmet, will come to fight alongside you by the will of the Prophet!" a majestic voice resounded from the center of the ancient magic array, resounding throughout the obelisk white tower.
"Lord Ahmet, it's actually Lord Ahmed, the Magister of Boko Haram!" After the dazzling white light dissipated, people saw a white-robed Magister with crane hair and a childish face standing tall in the ancient magic array, and once again couldn't help the excitement in their hearts, and raised their arms and shouted wildly.
"The true God is great! Let us completely defeat the blasphemous heretics in the name of the true God! Let the teachings of the true God spread to every corner of the world!"
