Text Chapter 406: The Secret of the Witch's Castle
Since the Ten Sons of the Night were plotted by their own alliance, the Western world no longer has policies and actions against the Xia Kingdom. The major families of the Xia Kingdom also used this time to cultivate and recuperate, and did not provoke the West.
The declining Witch Castle is no longer much noticed. Whether it's the blood clan or the werewolves, they're trying to figure out how to recover. On this day, many young women are secretly taken to the Witch's Castle.
Since Sercy's death, Serra has taken over Sercy's witch scepter. This was secretly assigned by Serby, and only the witch higher-ups knew about it, and it was even less likely that the Bloods and Werewolves would know about it.
Among the people who came to the witch's castle today, in addition to the witches from all over the world, there were nearly three hundred special women. They were all virgins, and they were specially raised virgins. The first sip of these virgins after birth was not milk but blood, the blood of man-eating bats.
These virgins are known as blood saints in the mouth of witches. Originally, there were not just forty-nine, but tens of thousands. These blood saints have never drunk milk, have never eaten other food, and grew up drinking only blood from childhood to adulthood. The man-eating bats that feed them only eat human blood and cannot eat anything else.
After the age of seven, the blood of boys under the age of eight is drunk every seven days. Many of these Blood Saintesses died, and only a handful survived.
The time to cultivate these Blood Saints began forty-eight years ago, so the oldest of these nearly three hundred Blood Saints was forty-nine years old, and the youngest was born this year.
When these witches and blood saints arrived at the witch's castle, they all entered the underground palace. The door to the underground palace was locked from the inside, and no one outside could open it.
On the main hall, all the witches and blood saints stood there, looking strangely at the people around them and the main hall, none of them had ever been here, and even now they did not know that there was such an underground palace.
Sera stood on a strange black table, looking at the woman in front of her. There are no men here, it's a woman's world, it's a witch's world.
"None of you know about this place, except me. I brought you here today to fulfill Sercy's wish. A long time ago, Sercy, the witch leader of our generation, got the Holy Blood Sutra and learned a big secret. This big secret is what you're here for today. ”
"No one knows this secret, but Sersi learned the secret from the Holy Blood Sutra. Following the guidance of the Holy Blood Sutra, she reinstated the witch and cultivated the Blood Maiden. Today, we can follow the guidance of the Holy Blood Scripture to uncover this secret. Before we do that, we would like to thank Sercy, who gave her life for the sake of the witch and the dark world. ”
Everyone mourned in silence.
Thera pulls a trap, and a ray of light is introduced into the hall from the outside through a crystal ball.
"Today is a special day because the total solar eclipse is about to begin. The Holy Blood Sutra says that when the sun is blocked by darkness, it is when I return to the earth. ”
"Blood Saints, your master, Prince Gulard, is about to awaken, and you wish to sacrifice your life to Prince Gulard!"
When the Blood Saintess and the Witch heard the news, they were all shocked on the spot. After a silence, there was a lot of chatter.
The Prince of the Blood Clan is a powerful being. Prince Gourald, who had ruled the dark world of the West for hundreds of years, was finally seriously wounded in a battle with the East and claimed to have been killed. I didn't expect Gulad to be alive, and he was in the Witch's Castle.
Witches are a special existence in the dark world, their combat effectiveness is not strong, but their support role is very strong. Witches are either on the side of the werewolves or the Bloods, and either side is on the side of the strongest and strongest.
Prince Goulard is like a legend that is widely spread in the dark world. His deeds and his strength have fascinated the men and women of the dark world. Men are either proud of him, or dream of one day surpassing him. The woman's dream is that Prince Gulad will become her own master and give everything she has for Gulad, including her life.
Now hearing Serra say this, they were both excited and skeptical.
"Silence, silence!"
The chatter died down, and everyone looked at Sera.
"I know some of you doubt what I'm saying, do you see this big circle on the ground? ”
Everyone dispersed according to the words, and there was a circle pattern with a radius of seven in the center of the ground of the main hall. Sera stood on the black platform and turned each of the seven cylindrical skulls on the black platform, each of which turned in a direction that only she knew. As the skull turned, the ground began to shake, and a rumbling sound was heard.
The circle on the ground moves around with the center of the circle as a point, revealing the space underground.
One metre deep underground, there are intricate patterns of circles, which are grooves made of gold. Gold is not only eye-catching, but it also gives a mystical feel.
Embedded in the center is a thick coffin with patterns like a mysterious incantation.
"There are forty-nine ticks, and each grid represents a year. I say this, I think the Blood Saints should understand why there is such a big difference in your age. ”
Some clever Blood Saints and some witches immediately guessed probably.
"Yes, the oldest of you is forty-nine years old, and the youngest was born this year. Each grid corresponds to one of you. As for why there are three or four Blood Saintesses every year, it is to prevent anyone from having an accident and to avoid one of the grids from being empty. ”
"At the beginning of the total solar eclipse, every year one of you will voluntarily enter the lattice below, pierce his heart with a bone sword, and sacrifice your life and blood to Prince Goulard. When the sun is completely swallowed up by darkness, Gulad will awaken from his slumber and lead us to conquer the world!"
Before Serra could ask who would like it, someone had already stood up and shouted: "I do, I am willing to give my blood and my life for Prince Gulard." ”
"Very well, you and your soul will be with Prince Gourald!" Sera praised.
These blood saints have never had the opportunity to contact the outside society since they were young. In their world, there is only the legend of the Blood Prince, who regards Prince Gulard as a god. It is their honor and destiny to believe and worship Prince Gulard unconditionally and to be able to give their lives for Prince Goulad.
More Blood Saints stand up, and every year only the one who stands up first is chosen. The baby chooses the one who cries the most or cries the loudest, and is carried into the lattice by the witch. If the child does not come forward, the witch who grows tallest first will be brought into the lattice.
These Blood Saints had all bathed before entering the underground hall. At this moment, they cleaned their clothes, entered the corresponding compartment, held bone swords, and recited the scriptures of the Holy Blood Sutra to their chests.
Witches help those who are not independent.
They had been reciting these verses since they could speak, and now they suddenly felt more reverent.
The rays of sunlight began to cast shadows, and Serra exclaimed excitedly: "The total solar eclipse has begun, blood saints, give your pure virgin blood, and your loyal souls, to Prince Goulad, and ask Prince Gulard to return to the world!"
The Blood Saintess in the lattice stabbed the bone sword into her chest with excitement, and the bone sword came out through her back. They didn't feel the pain, and they only smiled with satisfaction as they saw their blood gushing out from the ends of the bone sword and into the lattice.
The children, infants, and toddlers were taken care of by witches.
