Chapter 99: Mystery Creates Mystery, Death Creates Death (II)
The Beastmaster stood in place with his hands down, as if he had finished praying.
At this time, he suddenly took two steps back and made a move that Lin You didn't expect.
He faced his idol, and he knelt down so straight, and bowed his head, like a devout believer.
Lin You, a person who worships God and Buddha, is not uncommon, and it is not surprising, after all, everyone can have faith, but this is the first time he has seen worshipping himself.
As the leader of a city and a country, the operation of the "Beastmaster" really damaged his image and surprised Lin You.
It's no wonder that Tiger chose to come here at such a quiet time when people would not be seen, and if the citizens saw this scene, their original disdain for this idol would probably turn into contempt.
The orcs worship the "God of Fighting" in their hearts, because it is a symbol of the Thousand Victorious Warriors, but they do not necessarily worship the "Beastmaster", it is just a symbol of centralized power.
They are actually very disdainful of the current Beastmaster for overthrowing the previous "Fighting God Statue" and establishing his own idol without a fight.
In their hearts, the "God of Fighting" should have the appearance of the "God of Fighting", and he should be a hero who came out of blood and victory, not a "coward" who uses his power and is unwilling to fight.
If this scene of "bowing down to oneself" is seen by the citizens, Tiger does not know how much his prestige among the people will be reduced.
However, this was only one of the reasons why he chose to come here late at night.
Another reason is that the following rituals are "absolutely" not allowed to be seen by others.
After the beastmaster Tiger knelt down, the statue of the god that had not yet been fully built changed.
Wisps of black aura slowly emanated from the stone statue, looming in the flickering firelight around it, looking ethereal and mysterious.
Such a strange scene appeared in front of many orc guards, but it did not cause any special reaction, it seems that they are already familiar with such a scene, and know their duties very well.
As a personal guard of the Beastmaster, they know very well what to see, what to pretend not to see, and what to throw directly into their minds and forget forever, and at this point, they are very qualified.
"It's not the first time this kind of ceremony, what are they doing?" Lin You thought.
He set his eyes on the burlap bags, hoping to find any clues in them, but unfortunately, the distance was too far and the light was poor, and his snooping operation failed.
And at this moment, in front of the statue of the god, due to the kneeling and prayer of the beast king, the black qi in the statue continued to condense, and finally, they seemed to be alive, and began to slowly surge downward.
The target is those bags.
The black gas gradually entered the bag, and the contents suddenly moved violently - as if something was alive and trying to struggle to crawl out of it.
"Damn, what the hell is Nima in there, how do I feel like this scene has the style of the Eternal Sect......"
Lin You scolded secretly, and then his eyes widened.
I saw pieces of armor connected by black gas, crawling out of the bag, as if they had come to life, gradually taking shape in front of everyone's eyes.
The fragments in the bag swirled and spliced together, and under the influence of the black gas, they reverted to their original form - the "war knight" in the form of a centaur.
Soon, heavily armed centaur knights stood in front of the idols, their shattered armor repaired by black gas, and it was as new as new.
"That's how the War Knight came? Needless to say, the ability to resurrect destroyed armor with idols is certainly a masterpiece of the Eternal Sect. ”
Lin You looked at the "Eighth Phantom Sun" that had been standing next to him, spinning the flower umbrella boringly, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this guy was extremely dangerous.
The resurrected knights stepped aside, and Lin You thought that this "show" was over.
But he still underestimated the evil level of this "beastmaster".
At Tiger's instructions, another group of orcs walked up, this time dragging the corpses of humans killed in battle.
Lin You had already guessed what they were going to do at this time.
In fact, the statue can no longer be called a "fighting god statue", it is made of the dry bones of a warrior, it is full of the smell of death, and it is no longer a glorious symbol of a bloody warrior.
Creating gods by building "god statues" - this is the plan implemented by the "Eighth Illusory Sun" in the city of fighting gods.
Tiger the "Beastmaster" is the executor of his orders and the "god" he wants to cultivate.
"Accumulate the power of a god through a god idol? Everyone else becomes a god first and then has a god, isn't he just the opposite...... The Eternal Sect is indeed a gathering place for evil sects. ”
Lin You has officially included this idol in the scope of the strategy.
He's looking for an opportunity to destroy it.
Don't even think about it, this is definitely the key to the Beastmaster's power.
As for how to destroy it...... He has a lot of options.
……
Outside the arena, an old orc man in a robe and hood was slowly approaching.
He is the "Chief Archmage" of the King's Tower, the mystic of the "Beastmaster", and the Owl Orc Lothar.
He was followed by an assistant - the owlman Coyne.
The guards outside the arena saw Lothar, saluted with a serious expression, and said, "Your Excellency the Archmage, Lord Beastmaster and Izumi-sama are inside, and the statue casting ceremony is ready to begin, just waiting for your arrival." ”
"I see."
Lothar took the staff from her assistant's hand, tightened her robe, and walked unhurriedly, not looking at any hurry.
Because he has enough capital to be proud of.
There are many secret techniques in the plan of the "Beastmaster" that need him to perform, and his role is very large, and it can be said that it is irreplaceable, even the mysterious "Eighth Illusory Sun" can't.
Therefore, he often came late during the ceremony and let the "Beastmaster" wait slowly, in order to reflect his importance.
Arriving in the center of the arena, he saw the Beastmaster and the "Eighth Phantom Sun" spring.
First, Lothar saluted Izumi and said hello.
Because this mysterious subhuman gave him the "Amber Illusion", a magical spell he had never seen before, which aroused his great interest.
To show his gratitude, he often ranked Izumi in importance before the Beastmaster.
However, the Beastmaster has no objection to this.
He stood by and waited for Lothar and Izumi to finish talking before finally giving instructions to the "Chief Archmage".
"Alright Lothar, hurry up, complete the casting ceremony, and then tell me how many more people are needed before the idol is completed, I think it will be soon."
The Beastmaster looked down at Lothar, the height of the two was one high and one low, and the difference was obvious.
A hint of cruelty was fleeting in the eyes of the Beastmaster.
"Rude old thing, a few more days to make you proud," thought the beastmaster, "soon, soon you will be useless, and then the statue that has been erected will be the tombstone of you old fellow." ”
