Chapter 250: The Resurrection Ritual
In Aili Town, Jin Yanran carefully pushed away a stone, and then said to her teammates behind her: "There is a strong demonic aura here. ”
"The more natural and man-made disasters you have, the heavier your demonic aura becomes, and it is said that there was only one flood here half a year ago." Li Qian raised her bow and arrows and clinged to Jin Yanran's side, and at the back was the priest in the team, Ai Yewen, and there were two female players in the middle, namely an assassin and a mage.
The configuration of this team is still quite good, the five people are classmates from the same university, because Jin Yanran is an internal employee of Yonghe Zhisheng, so everyone decided to accompany her out to find the hidden existence.
At the thought of being an internal task in the company, everyone was very excited, especially Li Qian, who specially asked for leave to come back to play games.
"You guys better say a few words, I feel a little scary, the back of my neck is full of gloomy wind." Ai Yewen said with a shudder, she didn't want to be the last one, holding the staff tightly, moving forward as she went.
Because of the flooding, the buildings here are dilapidated, some broken tables and chairs, and messy roof tiles are scattered, and there is a smell of fish on the ground, which makes people feel dizzy.
Ai Yewen continued to use purification spells to purify everyone, and his tight heart did not dare to relax.
If there is a Warcraft, it should be a Warcraft in human form, and everyone in the team has seen a lot of them along the way, and they have certain psychological expectations.
In the direction of the ancient castle, another team of people and horses was slowly marching, like a figure in an illusory state, with a little demonic aura.
"Shhh Jin Yanran stopped and stood behind a roofless house, "It doesn't seem to be a human, it's a group of ghosts." ”
"The last time I saw a creature like a ghost was in a power plant." Li Qian put down her bow and arrows and stared at the ghost in front of her.
The bow and arrows are ineffective against the spirits, and the Holy Light Bow and arrows she carries have been depleted, which means that now she can start watching and help the people around her with purification potions.
Jin Yanran keenly noticed that these people seemed to be performing sacrifices.
Although they are in a ghost state, their movements and expressions are very stiff, but they are dragging tributes in their hands, as if they have been performing sacrificial activities for thousands of years.
"Do you look at that castle building, does it look like a temple?" Li Qian whispered, "Sometimes the temple will directly occupy the castle of the nobles, and this is the case in several cities around here. ”
"Because the castles of this era were like to be built in the center of the town, and the temple was like to be set up in the very center, which is also the reason why the castle has no owner."
Gaia's nobility was vulnerable, and most of them had no military power, so many of them lost their castles when the merfolk and humans wars broke out.
Most of these castles were sold, but a considerable number remained as shrines.
"I'm afraid that the only ones left in the flood are the temples, most of which have spells from hundreds of years ago to protect them from being destroyed by hurricanes."
"Keep up, let's see." The ghosts didn't notice the squad, and the Assassin players immediately turned on their invisibility and followed with the group.
The ghosts gradually walked into the castle, and there were a large number of dead corpses in the open space inside the castle, and these dead corpses were ordinary people who died because of the hurricane.
A ritual has begun, and all the corpses seem to have come back to life under the sacrifice of the ghosts.
Is this a zombie?
The spirits began to return to their bodies, and all the zombies began to chant their names to complete the final step of the resurrection.
"Siglia, the sleeping witch, the creator god who governs life, prays to the resurrected poor man to repent to you, and the humble one is willing to give spirituality for you, please come down and grant you the ...... of rebirth"
Seeing this scene, Gesia hugged her head hard, she originally wanted to confirm how the goddess Gaia died through legends and oral history.
Now he heard the other party calling himself, as if he was calling his previous name.
Witch?
Looking at the painful Gesia, Feige pressed the other party's shoulder and asked, "Who is Siglia, do you still have an impression?" ”
"I, I'm ......" Gesia had a headache, she didn't know why, she had no memory of that memory at all.
She can't be a witch, and this resurrection ritual is not her own divine power.
But she was sure that it was she who these people were calling.
These zombies were not resurrected by their own abilities, but sacrificed their spirituality in exchange for eternal life.
And what they get is only a resurrected body, which is not really reborn, but becomes a zombie.
The five female players on the screen have turned into female warriors and knocked the zombies to the ground one by one, but fortunately, because the ritual has not yet been fully formed, a large number of dead bodies have not been resurrected.
The five of them quickly disposed of the fragile zombies, and then entered the castle together.
"Are you feeling better?" Feige helped Gesia up, "It's good that you didn't crash the server this time, otherwise the players would have to donate money to me."
"I've got to think about something." "Those people weren't sacrificing to me, I think they were completing a resurrection ritual, but because the person who sacrificed was wrong, they became zombies." ”
"If you really believe in me, once I am called, I will directly resurrect them, just like those Gaians." Gesia said uneasily, and the more she investigated, the less she felt like a good person.
Did he kill the goddess of Gaia?
"You take a look at this first." Feige pointed to the picture on the screen, Jin Yanran, who was walking in the front, was illuminating the book of the temple with holy light, and a gray-haired oracle was sleeping in front of the book.
This book is a book about eight continents, and it is clearly recorded that a goddess named Siglia transformed divine power into life on her own continent and gave it to everyone.
There is a writing ritual on it, and as those people just expressed, there are many things written about the eight continents in this book.
"I'll tell them to hand in the book so we can read it together." After Fig finished speaking, the system gave the player a pop-up window for Fig to retrieve the book.
Everyone in the squad was rewarded with a thousand god coins, which was enough for them to change into the most high-end equipment in the game.
Instead of listening to the cheers of the players, Gesia rubbed the cover of the book, "If I want to figure everything out, I must find all the continents and ask the other goddesses." ”
"I'll share the map above with players, and you can also see which continent can be teleported directly, and we can go over and explore the way in advance."
