As Ankka and the paladins struggled to bring the ship to shore, the Saintess began a conversation with the monster that had emerged from the shadows.

The monster stood vigilantly in the shadows and said, "Holy Maiden, he will be very honored to make some sacrifices in order to save everyone. ”

In the face of the monster's noisy words, the Holy Maiden just slowly turned her head to look at it and said, "I have already decided everything, you don't need to come and propose to me." ”

The monster tried its best to block out the light in the holy woman's eyes and retreated to the wall, and the holy light was as hot as the sun, which made the monster feel very painful.

"Alright then, I'll be there again when the Holy Maiden needs me." After saying that, it directly retracted into the shadows, and no more movement occurred.

When the island was covered in a sudden fog at noon, the saint had freshened up and stepped down from the battleship, and on the beach the group had already set up their temporary camp.

"You've worked hard." The saint said softly to the paladins who were looking at her.

A paladin respectfully stepped forward and handed the map to the Holy Maiden, it was a very rudimentary map recorded on parchment, if it was a normal Holy Maiden, she would not have looked at such a simple thing that could not tell any information, but now they were in the New World, which made the Holy Maiden have to use this.

"My lord, through magic and normal scientific exploration, we have found that we are now on the opposite side of the beach from the last time we arrived, and we should be able to see our flag on the opposite beach just by walking through the forest in front of us."

"How far is there?"

The paladin gestured on the map and said, "It's about ten days' distance. ”

The Holy Maiden Vision looked around and noticed that Ankka was not here and asked, "What about Mr. Anka?" ”

"Master Anka has led people around to search for dangerous existences."

"Well, you still have to pay more attention."

In the forest, Ankka and some paladins were walking on the muddy path, they had only killed a few beasts for a few hours, and the surrounding paladins all showed their desire to return to the camp, and Ankka just continued to walk deeper in silence.

Ankka could clearly feel the power fluctuations coming from ahead, and Ankka prayed in her heart that the end of her power was where the Tears of the Holy Maiden were located.

As we went deeper, the surrounding environment became silent and suffocating, and an invisible force continued to oppress everyone.

"There must be something lurking in this forest."

The paladins had begun to nervously make the sound of their armor clashing from time to time, and they cast pleading glances at Ankka as if hoping that Ankka would give the order to retreat.

Ankka looked at them and then looked into the air, as black clouds like ink had begun to gather over the forest, and some raindrops had begun to drip down the leaves on their heads.

"Retreat! There shouldn't be much progress today. ”

After the group returned to the camp, Ankka quickly found the holy woman, who sat behind the table and looked down at the mythological allusions in her hand, and when she saw Ankka coming, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a chair next to her, inviting Ankka to sit down.

"Did Mr. Anka go in search of the Tears of the Holy Maiden?"

Ankh nodded in response.

After that, Ankka did not rush to let the Holy Maiden take her to find the Tears of the Holy Maiden, but sat there and waited quietly.

In an instant, the whole room became extremely quiet, and Anka could only hear the noisy rain around her and the sound of the holy woman turning a book.

As the candle flame flickered suddenly, Ankka saw a black shadow that appeared in the shadow of the Holy Maiden that was not affected by the candle flame, and Ankka rubbed his eyes and looked at the darkness and found nothing.

After covering the book and placing it on the table, the holy woman said to Anka: "Mr. Anka, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, but in order to make up for what I deceived and concealed from you a few days ago, I give this to you. ”

After saying that, the Holy Maiden handed a bottle of purple magic solution to Anka, and before Anka could ask the Holy Maiden, she said, "This is the potion I made to resist the defenses around the Holy Maiden's Tears, and this is the only thing left." ”

"Why don't you do more?"

"I don't have enough time and materials to make this bottle, but it's strange that last time I wasn't affected by the defenses around the Tears of the Maiden, so this time maybe I can go with you, after all, I also want to get more Tears of the Maiden."

"Well, then we'll leave tomorrow and I'll ask the craftsmen to make more barrels."

After saying that, Ankka left the tent with the solution and didn't take a few steps before he felt someone follow him, Ankka looked back at the empty field in front of the tent and felt a little puzzled.

Arriving at his quarters, he felt a hurricane hit him, and Ankka quickly returned to the house, only to find that there seemed to be a large shadow in the darkness of the night outside, blown up by the hurricane and disappearing into the night sky.

"Am I dazzled?"

The black cloud flew with the storm over a small kingdom in the forest.

A grand ritual is taking place there, with hundreds of people wearing various masks and costumes made of various feathers and animal skins shaking their bodies around the altar and doing strange dances.

As the altar was filled with rain, a man dressed in sacrificial attire also stood on it, chanting a complex prayer, and the monster curled up in the black clouds, watching the actions of the people below laughing uncontrollably.

Those people misinterpreted the monster's twisted laughter as the coming of the gods, and knelt down to pray for its gifts.

"Where is the sacrifice?"

The monster's loud voice was as crisp and loud as glass smashing on the ground, making everyone hold their breath nervously, and the priest waved his arms back vigorously and instructed his companions below to kill and clean the sacrificial animals.

The monster contemptuously blew the sacrifice away and used its power to make the sky darker, and lightning appeared in the city.

"Are you fooling the gods with this kind of thing?"

When the king heard of the arrival of the gods, he soon came to the altar and bowed down with his family.

"Great God! We cherish small countries and rare treasures, please give us some time, we will definitely give all the treasures that can be found. ”

"I need you to sacrifice the child born on the twelfth day of the twelfth month fourteen years ago, so that I can take him to heaven and your kingdom may prosper forever under my protection."

The king excitedly asked the priest, "How many children are born that day?" Bring them all and let the great gods pick and choose. ”

"There is only one ......"

The sound of the sacrifice gradually became very faint.

The king roared, "Then bring him here!" ”

"Yes."

The priest hurriedly ran home and saw the servant playing with the mud in the courtyard, and the servant hurriedly got up and bowed when he saw the priest coming home.

The priest walked over and roughly picked up the servant and walked out, while the other servants continued to do things with their heads bowed with indifferent faces.

When the priest returned to the altar with his servants, the crowd began to talk.

The king rebuked: "Why did you bring a beggar? ”

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I just didn't want to deceive the powerful gods."

The monster hiding in the clouds seemed satisfied, swept the minions into the air with its tentacles, and then the storm stopped, and the clouds dispersed, and the king led everyone to shout loudly about the great power of the gods.
