Chapter 44: Finding Opportunities
The monk walked past Bahrain with a knife in his hand and handed the long knife to Count Haradson. The Count nodded slightly and looked behind him.
Everyone followed his gaze, only to find a strong man naked, shirtless, and wearing a pair of white pants underneath. His face was sacred and solemn, his beard was neatly whipped, and his whole body was seriously washed clean.
The strong man solemnly walked through the crowd, walked to the altar, and finally slowly lay down on the altar.
At this time, Bahrain realized that the sacrifice was not his own. He let out a long breath, and felt a tingling all over his body.
"Don't worry, you're not qualified as a sacrifice!" the countess glanced at Bahrain's small movements, leaned slightly sideways and whispered in his ear.
"It's not good!" said Bahrain for the first time at this time, feeling sincerely grateful for this discrimination.
Haraldson straightened his clothes and walked to the altar in full view of everyone. He lowered his head and looked carefully at the sacrifice that had closed his eyes and waited for fate to come, raised his knife, and covered his mouth with one hand, causing the other hand to quickly slit his throat.
Blood spurted out and ran down the altar.
Bahrain stared at this scene with wide eyes and shock, although he had already been mentally prepared, but when the blood flowed out of his throat, Bahrain still felt bursts of indescribable negative emotions fill his chest.
The ears rang abruptly, and the whole world seemed to spin a little.
The dizzy Balin could only hear the crowd seeming to be screaming together, the count's lady asking him something, and the black-lipped monk talking to the count. He couldn't hear anything clearly, he only felt that there was a breath in his chest, constantly injected into his brain, entangled with all kinds of negative emotions in himself, and was pulled away by someone.
In a trance, he seemed to hear the Count let him follow him. Balin felt a heartfelt awe for no reason, and without the slightest hesitation, he followed the count to the back of the temple.
Suddenly, a sudden feeling of weightlessness came, and the dizzy Bahrain only felt a piercing pain in his right ankle, and then his body fell backwards.
"Bichi!" the wizard couldn't help but let out a foul mouth. The negative emotions were withdrawn from the top of his head, and Balin's thoughts became clearer and clearer, and even the guilt that had been haunting him for many days gradually disappeared.
This made him realize a clear clue in an instant, nightmares, fears, rituals, wooden boxes, monks, eyes. This is the religion behind Nina that created a mysterious organization that created wooden boxes and used human emotions to do some kind of experiment!
His thoughts cleared again, and the pain in his right foot irritated Bahrain even more. Trying to straighten up and take a general look, it was clearly a sealed prison, with no doors on all sides, only a hole in the top of the head, which presumably the place where Bahrain had fallen.
Gently move your right leg and take off your shoes before putting your right leg flat back on the floor. At the slightest touch, there was a heart-piercing pain. Bahrain knew that soon his ankle would swell, and it would not be better without ten days and half a month.
With his hands on the ground, he moved back until his back touched the wall, and then he relaxed and waited for his fate.
At the top of the cage were several vents inlaid with iron bars, through which rays of sunlight shone in, reflecting the billowing dust in the pitch-black cell. Bahrain didn't try to shout anything, he knew that since he chose to be imprisoned, he would prove that he was still useful. It won't be long before someone comes looking for me.
Just don't know what they need of themselves?
Bahrain simply closed his eyes and quietly waited for the other party to arrive.
As Bahrain expected, he soon heard the sound of metal grinding overhead, and Bahrain squinted as the sun shone down. The exit above his head was opened, and a monk with dark lips crouched at the exit: "Wizard of Bahrain, if you want to get out of the cage, you need to help us complete some experiments in exchange!"
Without thinking about it, Bahrain immediately agreed, and now in this situation, as long as he can get out, he can do whatever he wants. He's just an academic wizard, never a hard guy with a backbone.
The monk was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to speak so well. It took a lot of effort to pry Wizard Philip's mouth open.
However, this is better, and it is usually easier for people who are aware of current affairs to communicate.
For the next half month, Bahrain was never treated again, his swollen ankle had healed, and even one of the injuries he had suffered in Edgar had scabbed over. After half a month of isolation, Balin didn't know what was going on in the outside world, and without the disturbance of the outside world, the wizard devoted himself to the monks' experiments.
In fact, this experiment has been exposed to in Bahrain before, and the vulture that has come back from the dead is the product of this experiment. This kind of technology that attempts to resurrect creatures has been continuously controlled by forces for tens of thousands of years, and there are many records of such madmen in history, but they have all ended in failure.
So Bahrain is not surprised that this group of monks has such ambitions, because they are not the first, and will never be the last, to control the boundaries between life and death. But he was not at all optimistic about their cause.
Not to mention that they want to grasp the boundary between life and death by relying on some occult knowledge of their predecessors, even today's major wizard holy places also have a large number of wizard groups exploring this field, but they still haven't been able to find a clue to touch the forbidden area of life.
However, the way these monks have crossed the river by feeling the stones for so many years is not for nothing. Some of their studies have shed light on the relationship between the soul and the soul from a different perspective, and while many of the arguments are not true, they do give Bahrain another perspective.
Looking at things from a different perspective often leads to seeing the other side of things, and Bahrain was inspired by this.
While he did not intend to delve too far into the boundaries between graduate and death, it was important for Bahrain to understand what life is and what is soul before studying this boundary. It was too early to rush into immortality when none of this was clear.
The monks used the occult to stimulate the potential of **, but Bahrain saw another way for mortals to gain power. To this end, Bahrain began to join the monks in their experiments, and at the same time proposed many new ways of thinking for them with a vision far beyond the monks.
Because of this, Bahrain began to gain trust and freedom in the community of monks. To this day, he is free to wander around the entire temple as long as he doesn't leave the temple's gates.
More than a dozen men with black hoods were escorted into the testing area by the monks. During this time, with the addition of Bahrain, the monks were able to gain a new perspective on the experiment, so many of the ideas needed to be confirmed. This has led to an increasing demand for experimental materials from the monk community, which is already the second batch today.
Bahrain watched all this with a blank face, waiting for an opportunity.
These days, Bahrain's seemingly aimless wanderings have pretty much the idea of the entire temple. In terms of terrain, guards, and even some external environments. Balin had even sketched a holographic picture in his mind that he could escape the temple in the shortest possible time if he found an opportunity.
On the other hand, Bahrain also found a way to untie the chains of witchcraft.
Because many experiments require wizards to unleash witchcraft, these monks, who are already not weak, occasionally break the chains of witchcraft in Bahrain. As soon as the opportunity arises, the first thing in Bahrain is to untie the chains of his witchcraft. As he thought, Balin's eyes turned to the room where the key to the witchcraft chain was kept.
