Chapter 201 Dark Ritual (1)
On the fifth day after the auction, the Dark Elves' most important ritual will begin.
The Dark Festival is a ritual for families to pray to their god, Ivy the Dark Spider, and asks for a response, usually held every twenty years, but if the Spider Queen sends down an oracle on her own initiative, then it may also be held frequently, because for the god's mission, each family will sacrifice the results of the completion at the festival.
Therefore, there have been many times in history when the spider queen suddenly took the initiative to descend on her will, and four festivals were held in seven years.
Under the guidance of the Spider Queen, the Dark Elves expelled the Snake Demon Clan, drove the Rose Spider to the rock formation between the Dark Region and the Chaotic Abyss, and even fought a few battles with the Abyss Dragons.
Of course, the result also made the Queen Spider very happy, and sent down all kinds of rewards, especially the Frese family, which relied on those battles with the clans, desperately fighting against the snake demon clan and the Rose Spider, and got the attention of the Queen Spider.
The attention of the queen of the spider, if it is a positive joy, then it is the best opportunity for the family to produce a large number of priests, and the large number of priests can help reduce casualties, which makes the Frese family Although it is always in the fiercest battle, the attrition is not as large as expected, on the contrary, the warriors who are lucky to not die, the combat skills have also been tempered, bringing about an increase in overall strength.
Solomon followed behind Battana and Dahni with his head bowed, both of whom were now wearing the black robes of the Dark Elves, indicating their priesthood, followed by several Dark Elf priestesses, only Solomon in the middle looked a little strange.
The dark elf priestess behind him stared at his back, all faintly jealous. You know, he's behind Batana and Dahni. This means that it is the third place in the group.
Although they also know. This is because Solomon is going to participate in the upcoming battle for the deputy head of the Night Shadow Troupe, and Batana wants to entrap him, so he will make a gesture of importance, but the priestesses still have serious malice, and even hope that in the next scene, Solomon will be cut into several pieces or burned to ashes by black flames.
The queen of spiders is above, and the master mother also paid for two legendary-level magic tools for this surface person, if he dies. These two things may be their own, and the priestesses could not help themselves.
But Solomon didn't take those two magic tools too seriously, ordinary mages, and even Murphy can get these two magic tools used by mages, it will be of some help, but it is really not much help for Solomon, but in front of Dahni, Solomon still has to show great gratitude, after all, the value of the two legendary magic tools is not low on the surface or in the dark region.
He was slightly interested in the Scourge Shin, which was just one of a set of mage's armor. And it's not defense-oriented, and the defensive effect it can produce is actually not very good. However, it can produce toxin retaliation and blight aura, and there are a few auxiliary magics that are not too high-level, but quite useful, and can further help mages in combat rather than armor.
The best defense is to attack, even if it is attacked, it will definitely fight back at the same time, which should be the design idea of the Scourge suit represented by this shin.
The dark mages must like this equipment, but Solomon's combat thinking is now to fight more and fight less.
Stepping on the black stone steps, the festival was held in the square of Mosoblay City, and after seven days of preparation, it had been set up, including various magic arrays required for the festival, and a special magic force field was also arranged, which was used for the battle of the deputy head of the Night Shadow Troupe that would be held later.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our most important dark ritual is about to begin. Each time the festival begins with a great gift, but this time, all thirteen of us Mistresses have decided to start with a bloody and brutal battle and dedicate it to Lady Ivy in the hope of her pleasure and blessing everyone. ”
Sabelli began to speak, and at the same time, the priestesses of Morsoblay took the lead in the prayers of the Dark Elves, chanted in the ancient Elven language of the High Elves.
The resonance of faith was slowly generated in this chanting, and the priestesses from other families joined in, and although the voice was not high, it was like an undercurrent under the deep sea, and the hearts of those who were in it could not help but tremble.
But Solomon knew that this was more likely to attract the attention of the gods, because the source of faith was such concentration and resonance.
"Let's start now. Sabelli shouted majestically, "Now let's start the battle of the leader of the Night Shadow Troupe, the alien adventurers under the command of each family, anyone who is interested in competing for this position can stand by my side immediately, the battlefield over there is ready for you, as long as you can defeat other competitors, you will be the leader of the Night Shadow Troupe." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure drifted out from behind Sabelli, it was none other than Justin, the black-robed man that Solomon had seen once.
"Very good, Captain Justin, you should all know him, because he is the original leader of the Night Shadow Troupe, is there anyone who plans to challenge him? As long as you can defeat him, you may become the leader of the Night Shadow Troupe. From Sabelli's red lips spat out a voice full of seduction.
But there was no other sound in the hall except for the prayers that were still being sung by the Dark Elf priestesses, and Justin's name was also very loud in the Dark Regions, no less famous than some of the master mothers.
Solomon also watched the other party carefully, perceiving and judging Justin's strength.
"I, I want to challenge him!" finally a voice sounded, and a gray-robed man leaped like an eagle to the side of the Mother of Sabelli.
"Very well, a warrior, your battle with Justin will surely move our Queen of Spiders, the great Goddess Ivy. Sabelli said excitedly.
Justin looked at the other party expressionlessly, and the Gray Cannon man took out a long sword from under his robe, plucked up his courage and said, "Gray Eagle Sorek, challenge you!"
There was a slight whisper in the crowd, the name of Gray Eagle Sorek is a new ding in the Dark Region, but it is still somewhat famous on the surface, a high-level magic swordsman, who escaped to the Dark Region without knowing something.
But he was undoubtedly on the run recently, so he may know Justin's name, but he still had the courage to challenge, while the others who had been in the dark for a long time had consciously not stepped forward to try.
Solomon watched as the two of them walked into the battlefield under the confinement of the magic force field, where the stone used as the foundation was stronger than the ordinary martial arts arena.
However, these stones alone are definitely not enough to withstand the continuous destruction of the strong fights, and what really relies on the magic force field to prevent the destructive energy from flowing out during the battle.
The magic force field only produces a slightly hazy translucent light mask, which will not completely obscure everyone's gaze, so everyone can watch this battle very clearly.
So everyone soon saw a simple and swift slaughter, and the object of the slaughter was of course the courageous gray eagle Sorek.
Gray Eagle Sorick can't be said to be an arrogant person, because even if he jumped out because he didn't know Justin's power, but in addition to his determination and courage to become famous and want to become a superior person, he does still have two brushes under his hands.
When they started, everyone realized that he was not only a magic swordsman, but also had a thief-like rank, because of his extreme dexterity, it was no wonder that he was called the Gray Eagle.
But alas, his current opponent is Justin.
Justin turned out to be a demon swordsman, breaking the sword with a sword, breaking the law with a law, whether it was ordinary combat skills, or the special sword skills of the magic swordsman, or casting spells, he broke them one by one, forcing Sorek to flee in embarrassment in the end.
However, he forgot that this was not an empty field, but a battlefield with certain restrictions, which was fine for the superior, but a restrictive environment for those who wanted to escape.
As a result, when he found that he could not get out of the current environment smoothly, he could only return desperately.
The result, of course, was that he died.
His head was cut off by Justin and carried out, and Sabelle held the head of the Greyhawk high and had a priestess carry it to the central altar as a sacrifice to the Queen of the Spiders.
The other people in the field silently watched the result of this battle, Justin did not use any extremely powerful magic or skills, but used simple skills to skills, combat skills to combat skills to kill the other party, the combat skills and magic he used were not suppressed by grade, but targeted restraint, and the same was true in combat skills, showing that it was obviously more than a step higher, the same skills, but he was more skilled, more powerful, more appropriate, and more timely.
This is easy to say, but it is not so easy to judge in the ever-changing battlefield, especially if the opponent is also a high-level professional.
Everyone couldn't help but rejoice that they were smart, and they didn't come out to challenge like the gray eagle, otherwise they might be the ones who died now.
"Are there any challengers?" said Justin lightly.
Solomon didn't have the idea of challenging him, it wasn't that he couldn't beat him, although he could sense that the other party was still hiding his strength, and it was very likely that he had broken through the legend.
When he dealt with the Gray Eagle, he obviously suppressed his own strength and won only by skill and judgment, but under Solomon's perception, it was not so simple.
To deal with him, Solomon would have to show more strength, which could reveal his identity, and now is not the time, let alone the need.
"It seems that there is no one who intends to challenge Jas, so Justin can be the first choice of the head of the group, after the deputy head is decided in a while, the two deputy heads have another chance to challenge him, do you have any opinions?"
Sabelle looked at it with satisfaction, and things were going the way she had hoped.
"Now the competition of the deputy head of the regiment begins, and those who plan to become the deputy commander can come to my side and accept the challenges of others. (To be continued......)
