Chapter 46: The Purpose of the Darkmoon Church
At the same time, an imperceptible spell quietly casts itself and acts on the stunned dark elves.
After a few seconds, the dark elf's eyes became misty, apparently affected by the enchanted state.
This magic is not a low-level ordinary level 2 magic charm technique, but a level 4 magic specially prepared by Leo, and the mind is twisted.
Seeing the magic take effect, Leo pressed his hand slightly behind him, signaling for neither of them to make any moves, and then he asked in a deep voice, "Now tell me, do you know who I am?"
"Are you...... You're ......," the dark elf replied aimlessly.
Disturbed by the distortion of his mind, his consciousness was already very blurred, and he couldn't answer for a while when he knew who Leo was.
"Bold!" Leo shouted, making the dark elves shudder, "You idiot, you failed the mission and were caught, and you still need the church to provide the power to rescue! Now you don't even know me?
The dark elf trembled more and more violently, and as if remembering something, he muttered in a low voice, "I...... I...... I beg your pardon, Bishop Dredon...... Forgive me......"
Hearing him call out this name, although Leo didn't know who the person was, he could guess that it should be his superior, and judging from the current state of the dark elves, he should be very afraid of this Derichon bishop.
Carusat and Illidia glanced at each other, both seeing each other's surprise.
They didn't expect that Leo would make the dark elves look like this with just a few words of dialogue. You know, the orcs tried all kinds of ways before, and they didn't completely succumb to the dark elf, but just plucked some unimportant information out of his mouth.
And now, according to this situation, it may really be possible to get unexpected gains!
"Forgive me? Leo made his voice more solemn. After putting enough pressure on the other side. Then he continued: "Tell me, how is your mission going?"
At the mention of this, the dark elf became more cringe than before, and its body unconsciously moved backwards, as if trying to avoid something.
Leo immediately took a few steps forward, glared angrily, and asked in a loud voice, "Say, do you dare to hide it in front of me?"
"Don't dare, Lord Bishop, I don't dare!" the Dark Elf gritted his teeth, "Lord Bishop, this mission didn't go well. We just found out that the thing was in the 'Tomb of the Juggernaut', and we hadn't figured out how to get in until I was caught. ”
"Tomb of the Juggernaut?" Leo heard this place for the first time, and couldn't help but glance back at Carusat.
The orc youth obviously knew about the "Tomb of the Sword Master", but his face was also full of doubts.
This is information that I have never known before.
What are they looking for?
Why is it in the "Tomb of the Juggernaut"?
Knowing that now was not the time to understand, Leo turned his attention back to the dark elf, hummed noncommittally, and then continued to ask, "So what are you going to do next?"
"I don't know if they're going to come to my rescue. But I'm ready for the Lord's devotion! Those stupid orcs have been misled by me, and should still be wandering around Durotar. The Dark Elves hastily expressed their determination.
Leo stared at him with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Tell the point, start from the beginning." I don't want to listen to this useless nonsense!"
"Yes, Lord Bishop!" the Dark Elf swallowed hard, "After the Holy Maiden issued the oracle, several of us lurked into the Barrets. Through Hesfer's means, he contacted an orc warlock, who was also a very powerful high-ranking nobleman. ”
"Go on. Who is that high-ranking nobleman?How did Hesfer get his hands?" Leo nodded coldly, secretly guessing that the high-ranking orc nobleman in the mouth of the dark elves should be the unlucky corpse witch who died at his own hands.
The dark elf's eyes had lost focus, and he replied completely instinctively, "It's the youngest son of the current Great Chief, and he's obsessed with gaining demonic power, so Hesfer can easily get it." With his help, we surveyed the area around Durontar and eventually determined that the Tomb of the Juggernaut was our target. ”
"And how did you get caught?" Leo pressed forward, not giving the other party any chance to react.
"It was very fortuitous, and it could even be said that it was beyond most people's expectations. The orc, who was under our control, suddenly lost control after greatly increasing his demonic power, causing chaos. A little hatred appeared on the dark elf's face, "It was only in order to hunt him down that I would be exposed, let an orc powerhouse lock up, hide for more than half a month, and still be caught by him! Fortunately, before I was locked up here, the news had already been transmitted that the runaway orc high-ranking nobleman was dead, and we would not be exposed again." ”
Leo keenly grasped the change in his expression and questioned, "Why did an orc who had already been controlled suddenly lose control?
The dark elf's eyes widened, and he replied fiercely: "It's all to blame on Hesfer! He has always wanted to engage in his own demonic energy research! He also used that orc warlock as an experiment! As a result, it was precisely because of his failure in the experiment that the orc would lose control! If the operation failed this time, the responsibility was all on him!"
"If it is true as you say, then your guilt can indeed be mitigated. Leo bowed slightly.
In times of despair, giving a little hope is the most inhibitive.
Sure enough, the dark elf's face immediately showed flattery, making it believed that Leo would eagerly lick his boots whenever he reached for them.
"Lord Bishop, what I said is true, how dare I deceive you?"
"Well, I know you don't dare. Leo looked the dark elves in the eye, "Now it's up to me to take over this task, tell me, where are the others, have they been scattered?"
The latter question was added by him temporarily, because it was not clear how many people there were in the Dark Church, so there was no way to take targeted action, and at the same time, he could not ask directly, so he had to take this side-by-side method.
The Dark Elves didn't have any suspicions, and immediately replied, "They were in the Grey Head Inn in Iron Gate Lane before, and they should have dispersed now. Each of them has found a safe base. ”
"To be specific, who will be with whom, I don't want Hesfell to go wrong again. Leo continued to steer the conversation.
The dark elves wanted Hesfer to be unlucky, and hurriedly said, "Hesfer and Midia have a good relationship, and the two of them should be together." If I'm not mistaken, their safe base should be in Deadwood Ridge, not far from here. ”
Leo rebuked, "Is it that you have only Hesfell left in your eyes, and that's how you dedicate yourself to the Lord?"
"I didn't ...... No ......" The dark elf didn't dare to refute, and quickly added: "Sajit and Arnold Bek have been on a warm relationship lately, and they often get together together, and the two of them must have gone to Greystream Lake to hide. ”
"What about the others?" Leo asked subconsciously.
"Others?" the dark elf was stunned.
Leo chuckled mentally, it seemed that this time it was only these people. In the end, he still showed his feet, and there was one important thing that he didn't understand clearly, and it would be bad if he let the dark elves recover.
But what he didn't expect was that the dark elf quickly came to his senses, and then showed a flattering smile again: "You mean me, of course I am willing to prostrate at your feet and follow your direction." ”
Leo's hanging heart was relieved at this time, but there was no change in his expression. He just nodded faintly in approval, "And then where do you regroup?"
The Dark Elves were already in full depth of enchantment, and replied without hesitation, "The last news I received before I was captured was that they were planning to go to the Demon Slayer Canyon. Sajit seems to have found a way to enter the 'Tomb of the Juggernaut'. ”
"What's the solution?"
"Sacrifice a large number of demons, and the entrance to the Tomb of the Juggernaut will open. ”
"Squeak quack. ”
As soon as the dark elves finished speaking, there was a sound of clenched fists behind them.
For the first time, hatred flashed on Carusat's calm face, but under his forcible control. Except for the bruises in both hands, there was no other excessive performance.
Leo turned his head and gestured with his eyes if there was anything else they needed to know.
Illidia naturally didn't have any ideas. Carusatl thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"In that case, then we will leave tomorrow, it is not early, you can rest. Leo's voice became soft, like a mother's cry.
In the blink of an eye, the dark elves felt their eyelids heavy, but they fell into a deep sleep for a moment.
............
When I returned to Carusat's secret stronghold, the sky was already gray, and it looked like it would be completely bright in a few moments.
But the three of them did not feel the slightest sleepiness, but were greatly excited by the news they had just received.
On the way back, Carusat had briefed Leo and Illidia on the history of the orcs and the Tomb of the Juggernaut, the goal of the Darkmoon Church.
Even if you don't want to admit it, there is no complete historical record, but there is no doubt that the orcs did come from the lower realms.
As the object of demonic enslavement, this race has endured countless years of suffering. And their green skin and violent and aggressive personality also indirectly confirm this. It was a curse left by the ancestors after drinking the blood of demons, and although they were now free from the demon's control, the curse was still not completely removed.
According to the history of the orcs that Carusat knew, when the demons invaded the main material plane, the orcs followed the demons into this rich new world, and launched an attack on the elves together.
In the process of the defeat of the demons, several orc leaders decided not to remain silent, they wanted to rebel against the demons, they did not want to return to the lower realms full of magma and stench, they longed to stay here and start a new life.
Juggernaut is one of the most famous legendary heroes, although his name has been submerged by history, but the title of Juggernaut has been passed down forever.
According to legend, when the demons withdrew from the main material plane, an incomparably powerful demon lord was responsible for controlling the orcs and intercepting the pursuit of the elven demon hunters.
The orcs felt their opportunity and fought back. But the curse left in the blood made it difficult for them to resist the orders of the Demon Great Lord.
At this time, the Sword Master stood up and slashed the Demon Lord with his own strength with his extraordinary strength.
No one knows exactly what happened in that battle, but it left a huge man-made canyon in the northwest of the Barrenlands, which is now the Demon Slayer Canyon.
After the Juggernaut successfully killed the Demon Lord, the Demon Blood Curse of the Orcs was greatly weakened, and they successfully broke free from their shackles and became a race that could enjoy freedom, and even established a huge empire in the main material plane for a while.
As for the Sword Master himself, because he was seriously injured, he disappeared into the Demon Slayer Canyon and never appeared again.
Some say that he fell there, and several other orc legendary heroes built a majestic and huge hidden tomb to commemorate their exploits, while others say that after killing the Demon Lord, he once again broke through in strength and surpassed the boundaries of the plane, thus ascending to the throne of God, the first god of war.
Right now, judging from the actions of the Dark Moon Church, the legendary "Tomb of the Sword Saint" may really exist. This is definitely something that the orcs themselves did not expect.
After asking the old orc to make three refreshing orc drinks, Carusat said solemnly: "It's been a while since this guy was caught, we must start an operation as soon as possible, maybe they are ready, and they will be able to open the 'Tomb of the Sword Master' soon." ”
Illidia wondered, "But what are they trying to find?"
"If my guess is correct, their target is likely to be Bloodroar, which is probably the most valuable thing on the Juggernaut. Carusat spoke, and then continued to explain, "It was the weapon used by the Sword Master to slay the Demon High Lord back then, and it was crafted by the most outstanding orc craftsmen of the time, and after being soaked in the blood of many lives, as well as the blood of the Demon High Lord, its quality was no less than that of the Hammer of Destruction. ”
"Artifact?" Illidia was surprised, seeing Carusa nod her head in affirmation, and then showing a confused expression, "But what do they want artifacts for?"
Leo understood a little about this, and said after a pause: "Most of the items that can be called artifacts contain divinity or plane rules, and if they are obtained by the Dark Moon Goddess, it is very likely to help her increase her strength, and may even enable her to gain the ability to control the fate of orcs." ”
"In that case, we must stop them all the more!" said Carusat, with a firm voice. (To be continued......)
