Chapter 108: Sacrifice
After a few brief conversations with the man who received him, and getting the information he wanted, Owen walked out of the stone building, ignoring the down-and-out magician. Looking at the expression of the magician, and knowing that he was in a bad mood now, Owen naturally would not be unhappy.
Although the town is small, it has a variety of shops. Soon Owen followed the man's introduction and came to the hotel. This kind of multi-story hotel usually accommodates outsiders for temporary staying, and of course, a certain amount of money is charged. The attendant of the hotel was actually wearing an arcane master's robe, and his strength was not weak, which made Oventor take a look.
After a few words with the attendant and a low-level core, Owen can enjoy a fine dinner in this hotel and stay overnight.
Because most of the people who come here are arcanists, they all use magic cores directly in transactions, and although the price of goods has increased several times, no arcanist will surrender his identity to care about this little thing.
For some time afterward, Owen traveled around the arcane oasis to visit the arcanists and discuss their insights into primitive magic. Arcanists need to dissect the primordial magic that Warcraft is born with in order to create new magic, so they are not averse to this. But between their words, they were very reluctant to the magic offered in the dream altar.
The more Arcanists he visited, the more Owing learned about the social status that Arcanists were seeking.
Before the Dream Altar provided magic cultivation and release, in the civilizations established by various gods, divine art was basically the only way to cultivate. All living beings who need great strength must believe in the gods, and through the gifts of the gods, they can have some cultivation methods on the right track. And Warcraft is the most tragic existence among them, they can't be accepted by the gods, and when their strength is low, they can only rely on instinct to absorb magic elements to cultivate, and their attack methods are limited to innate magic.
However, the appearance of the Dream Altar made it possible for the cultivation of demonic beasts to be on the right track, so the arcane slowly developed.
Later, many races that did not have a true god and could not obtain divine magic also invested in the study of arcane arts. In some demigod belief territories, arcane art has become the most important cultivation method for believers.
But the social status of the arcanist is far inferior to that of the magician. On the Giant Continent, magicians are even higher than nobles. However, the status of the Arcanist is only on par with that of the very ordinary nobles. In this case, it is understandable that the Arcanist needs social status.
Unless the arcane is erased from the world, the social status of the arcanist will be unstoppable. What Owen needs to pay attention to is to prepare the giant civilization in advance in this regard, so as to reduce the losses caused by the improvement of the Arcanist society. Especially some self-confident magicians, in the face of the rise of arcane, there will definitely be some extreme actions. As long as the Oneiroi Church can handle it in advance, the relationship between the magician and the arcanist can avoid the Great Riot.
After more than a decade of wandering in this arcane oasis and visiting some of the more famous arcanists, Owen boarded the ship of the Giant Civilization and headed for his next destination.
......
In a spacious cave, an altar made of bones radiates a hazy glow in the center of the cave. A strong man in a black robe and a masked scarf carried an unconscious sub-giant onto the altar. Cleanly smeared the sub-giant's neck with a dagger of animal bones, and the strong man immediately knelt under the altar, muttering awkward incantations in a rough voice.
The blood of the sub-giant shot out, but it didn't shoot far, it all landed on the altar, and was absorbed by the altar. Then a strange suction force came from the altar, extracting the blood and soul of the sub-giant from the body and pulling it into the altar. The dried corpses left on the altar make the gloomy cave even more terrifying. ...,
Absorbing the blood and soul of the sub-giant, the light emanating from the altar swelled, illuminating the cave in a bright light. As soon as the light rose sharply, it immediately dimmed, and after an extremely faint spatial fluctuation, a figure that seemed to be virtual and real appeared in the center of the altar.
The strong man had been paying attention to the changes in the altar, and when he saw the figure appear, the voice of the incantation became even louder.
"I am Nesshas, a lowly being, for what do you sacrifice your soul and flesh for?"
The strong man kneeling under the altar trembled, and immediately said loudly: "I want a strong liliang, I want a noble position, I want endless wealth......"
Hearing the strong man's words become more and more pleasant, Nessus on the altar seemed to be very happy, and encouraged: "I can satisfy all your desires! As long as you provide me with flesh and soul, I can grant you infinite liliang, noble status, and infinite wealth...... Go, gather enough flesh and soul, and I'll give you everything!"
As soon as the words fell, Nessus let out a huge liliang that melted into the strong man's body with a wave of his hand.
With the integration of this liliang, an incomparable sense of power filled the strong man's mind, so that the liliang of the mountain could be shattered with a wave of his hand, making the strong man tremble with excitement. However, this incomparable feeling slowly faded in a few breaths, and that liliang merged into his body, only doubling his strength.
"Double! You say that I am not qualified, my faith is not sincere, I can't become a holy warrior, I can't even practice fighting qi, I have to become the most powerful being! Just a sub-giant, I can get so much liliang. How much can my strength increase if I sacrifice a giant?! There are so many giants, as long as I am careful, my strength will increase rapidly, and when they find out, I will already have no choice but to do it...... I will surpass you and take everything from you!"
When the strong man thought of the wonders, he couldn't help but hahadaxiao, the haze in his heart was gone, and he was even more convinced of the sacrifice.
Seeing the strong man's gaffe, Nesses was even more happy, but still reminded: "Don't talk about sacrifices to anyone......"
As he spoke, the figure gradually dissipated, as if the liliang provided by the altar was not enough.
The strong man glanced at the white bone altar that was lying on the dry corpse, and there was no slightest fluctuation of liliang, and he began to move his hands and feet happily to familiarize himself with the suddenly surging liliang. After adapting, he glanced at the altar and walked out of the cave, covered the cave entrance with mountain stones, and then took off his special black robe, untied his face towel, and turned into a tiger-headed man with a simple face.
When the strong man was gone, there was a change on the altar, and the figure of Nessus reappeared in the center of the altar. His body gradually cleared, but it was still far from condensing into substance. Glancing at the dried corpses on the altar, Nesses sneered, "If it weren't for the sake of infiltrating these continents, I wouldn't want to spend so much effort to give anything liliang." However, in the future, it is possible to spread the method of altar sacrifice, and let the creatures of the main physical plane build an altar and summon the demons of purgatory. In this way, Purgatory can silently erode the main material plane. ”
If Nessus wants to lead Purgatory into the main material plane, he naturally can't act hastily. He used a trace of spiritual power to probe into the main material plane, condensing into a projection with almost no strength, and then using the projection body to emanate many altar sacrifice methods on some continents.
These beings who have obtained the Dharma are those who have no faith, and as long as these beings cannot resist the temptation, they will perform sacrifices, summoning an even more powerful spiritual power projection from purgatory. Then, he used the means of inducement to make the living beings continue to sacrifice, provide him with liliang, and let him gather a clone.
During this time, he can also obtain all aspects of information on the various continents of the main material plane from the sacrificial souls, and provide more intelligence support for attacking the main material plane. When the time came, he could choose some lowly continents as targets for purgatory.
"When countless clones are refined, it will be the time for Purgatory to attack the main material plane!"
