252 Investigation conducted (Part I)
A dimly lit and secluded underground vault
In the depths of his fingers, there was an intermittent roar, and suddenly, the sound of 'clucking' footsteps sounded again, it was the skeleton monster incarnated by Bishop Moos, walking slowly;
Behind him dragged the large package, and with the help of the dim light in the basement, a line of blood could be seen under the package, and some creature was clearly present in the package;
As Bishop Moos's footsteps gradually stepped out, the roaring monsters, as if they had smelled the breath of blood, became more violent, and the sound they emitted echoed in this underground space;
At this time, Bishop Moos, who had been walking slowly, suddenly stopped his steps, and a blood-red mist appeared in front of him, forming a special enchantment group to stop him from moving forward;
Through the red inscription slowly emerging on the ground, it can be judged that this is the location of the red magic array that Bishop Moose threw orcs into it to feed the monsters;
It's just that the scope of this magic array now seems to be much larger than the previous time when Mu Si came, and there is a large area of red mist, and the sound of monsters roaring in it is also a lot more;
Having reached the front of the enchantment shrouded in red mist, Bishop Moose did not go any further, and even became very vigilant and fearful, as if he was also very afraid, the monsters in the mist that made a tearing roar;
"Food... Food...... Food............ Thing! Give ...... To give............ Give me !!!"
Just as Moose was stagnant, the roars in the black mist became more and more numerous, and the sound became more and more sharp, until the back simulated an orc voice;
It's just that this beast language is intermittently revealed, and in this sentence, there are several voices, including the old man's dull voice, the girl's lightness, and the young child's crisp voice............
Apparently these were all emitted by one of them, no, a special monster, and Bishop Moos, who heard the voice, had transformed into a skeletal face, and a look of joy appeared;
"Finally worked, finally succeeded!!"
When Bishop Moose said this excitedly, a tumbling red mist appeared, and a thick, sharp red object shot straight towards Bishop Moos's position;
The direction of the aim was the skull of Bishop Moos, who was obviously still immersed in joy at this moment, and did not notice that this vision had occurred;
It wasn't until the long red object in the mist swept and stirred up the surrounding fog and came to him in an instant that he slowly reacted;
Boom!
There was a violent collision, and the long sharp red object seemed to be hindered by something, collided with something, and finally stopped in front of Bishop Moose;
"Huh~~, it seems that this enchantment can't trap him for too long!" After speaking, Bishop Moose raised the package behind him high;
'Tick' 'Tick'
From the top of the package, blood continued to drip down, and soon the breath of blood filled the space, and after smelling this breath, the monster of the red mist became even more manic;
One after another, long red sharp objects shot at Bishop Moos, but they all stayed on the barrier as before, striking a crack like glass;
At this time, it can be clearly found that those sharp red long objects are actually tongues, they hit the enchantment, but they did not take it back, they were full of slime, longing for the contents of the package;
"Sure enough, this thing is good at hiding, if you don't tempt it, I really don't know, so many have been born, so the next plan, there should be no problem!"
At this point, Bishop Moose threw the package into the barrier, and immediately after, a terrible roar could be heard, from which a terrible roar could be heard, accompanied by the sound of chewing, and from time to time the beast whisper;
"Well... Good............ Delicious... Eat...... Good... Delicious!!"
As for the cause of all this, Bishop Skullmuth walked to the golden magic array on the other side, walked in, and after being wrapped in the golden pillar of light, he returned to his normal appearance;
After taking a look at the changes on his body, Bishop Moose nodded and looked at the red mist, although he had cultivated such monsters according to the task given to him by the Pope, but the bigger hidden danger was these monsters, which he could not control.
Among the tasks he has to perform, he needs to manipulate these monsters to complete some tasks, cause damage to the league this time, and even distort the impression of the orc empire in the hearts of humans, which will lead to the outbreak of war.
But if it goes on like this, even if these monsters are released, they will only cause some riots, and they will soon be able to be subdued in the face of the joint efforts of those tribal leaders and Terran powerhouses in the empire;
"What should I do? Time is running out!"
Listening to the chewing and roaring sound coming from the red mist, Bishop Moose also fell into deep thought, and at this time, he suddenly heard a voice, which was spiritual communication;
"Bishop Moos, Bishop Moos, come back quickly, those orc guards are here again, they are going to search the entire church this time, and now they are at the door!"
"It's coming so soon?" Bishop Moose was not at all surprised to hear the news from the faithful, after all, the church had done this kind of thing many times;
It's just that in the past, it was humans who plundered, and compared with half-orcs, the human population base is larger, and it is more difficult to count, and the previous actions were not so anxious, and everything should not be noticed;
Bishop Moose looked at Hongwu in front of him, and seemed to return to that night, in order to give birth to this monster, he held a blood sacrifice, and sacrificed too many orcs;
In the end, the newly born blood beast, which was not under his control at all, ran out and carried out a torture killing, which also included sending a few humans, and finally he cleaned up, creating the illusion that it was a human who tortured and killed the half-orcs;
Of course, he knew that this 'illusion' would be seen through sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, and after cleaning up, he walked out of this underground space.
Ever since the incident of human abuse and killing of orcs, the Scarlet Empire has noticed that many orcs have suddenly disappeared, and this number has increased and become more and more frequent;
In fact, for the entire orc empire, it is not surprising that the orcs suddenly disappear every day! After all, the scope of the empire's radiation is too large, and it is impossible to cover everything and ensure the living standards of all the orcs;
Of course, this is also Christos's plan, the reason why he established the Scarlet Empire is to keep moving closer to this ideal, but this 'accident' happened to expose this matter;
The time when the orcs were tortured and killed, the place where it took place, was the slums of the Scarlet Empire, and it was also the most chaotic and filthy place in the entire Scarlet Empire, where only those orcs who had committed crimes and been abandoned by the tribe would gather here;
For these, the empire didn't pay much attention to it, after all, many times, the construction of the empire and the battle also needed these people to go to the front, after all, there were a very large number of half-orcs here;
Chaotic, filthy gathering places are common in any city, and in the royal capital of the Holy Federation, there are also such places - ghettos;
Because of the particularity of this place, it is more suitable for some hidden things to happen, such as lurking, black market, trading, assassination, etc., if it is in the past, human torture and killing of orcs are not uncommon in human cities.
It's just that this time, the place where it happened was in the Half-Orc Empire-Scarlet Empire, and according to the investigation, things were far from as simple as they seemed, because the protagonists of the torture and killing incident were just a few ordinary ninth-order swordsmen;
is such a swordsman existence, who actually killed dozens of half-orc warriors overnight, and most of them were in the realm of fourth-level warriors;
A ninth-order swordsman can actually challenge so many high-level half-orcs beyond the ranks, which is a very strange place in itself, and what is even more strange is that the protagonist of that night's torture and killing incident died very strangely.
Whether it was the orcs or the swordsmen, their bodies were drained of blood, like dried corpses, and after they were collected, during the investigation, the surface of these corpses gradually glowed red, and they became bloody corpses;
The 'insect master', who was thinking about what he had seen at the time, was suddenly awakened by a commotion and looked in front of a church as white as jade and radiating light;
A group of ragged, scrawny orcs, holding hands in a row, gathered in front of the church, blocking the guards from entering the church;
"What are you doing, what are you doing!!
"You are not allowed to go in here!",
"Yes, the Lord has come here to bring us rain and free us from difficulties, and I will not allow you executioners to defile the temple of God!"
"That's right, that's right. ”
"The empire doesn't care about our life or death, the merciful 'Lord' has sent his followers to rescue us, and we will definitely protect the 'Lord'!"
"Yes, yes, the Empire doesn't need us anymore anyway, if you want to destroy our last hope, then step over us!"
Listening to the words of these orcs, and the fanaticism and piety revealed in their eyes, the insect master couldn't help but shake his head, having lived in the federal territory for so long, especially in the slums, he deeply understood the horror of the church;
Outwardly, the church aims to spread a faith that they help the poor, food, medical care, education, and even financial help, but they don't want to help at all;
The only request was that every human, orc, who received help, should go to the church to pray once on the appointed day;
This kind of thing has been encountered many times by the insect master, after all, he is a beastfighter in the Holy Federation, and only civilians and half-orcs who have difficulty in living will choose to do this;
Before choosing this, they must have been to the church, received help, and in the long lurking of the insect master, he saw many orcs enter the church many times, and finally became their devout believers;
It's the same as these orcs in front of you!
Even the vast majority of half-orcs, after entering this church, no longer have faith in the spirit beasts they originally believed in, and even despise them!
