After listening to Muhamra's report, the old fishman fell into deep thought. Then he gave Muhamra a few words and asked him to conduct more detailed searches in the vicinity and not to let anyone with ulterior motives sneak in. After interrupting the call, the impression that appeared in the mana fluctuations immediately fell apart and melted into the sea water. Seeing the image of the high priest Sepulaqi disappear from in front of him, the fishman leader Muhamra hissed softly. tone, and then issued a series of orders again, asking his men to search carefully and never let go of any evidence.
While Muhamra was trying to think of a way to justify his half-truth report, the fish-man high priest Saipulaqi, who was sitting in a huge cave underground in Ulutel, slowly stood up from his seat. Just now, the fish-man high priest used a technique that combined illusion and teleportation magic to contact his companions at a certain distance. After receiving the reward, the fish-man high priest Saipulaqi gradually made a decision in his heart.
"Pah, pah, pah." Saipulaqi tapped the seat three times with the end of his scepter. The latter made a clear sound, causing the attendants waiting outside the cave to run in quickly. Come on, I don’t know if it was because of nervousness, but a fishman attendant accidentally knocked down the stone statue next to him while running. The statue fell to the ground and immediately fell to pieces, and also made a crisp sound.
"Ah, please forgive me, High Priest." The fishman attendant who made the mistake rolled and knelt on the ground. His begging voice was full of trembling. He was obviously very afraid of the punishment of High Priest Sepulaki.
"Hmph, how dare you blaspheme the gods." The old fishman, High Priest Saipulaqi, snorted angrily. He raised the bone scepter in his hand and clicked it towards the attendant who was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, and a blood-red light burst out. It sprayed out from the skull at the top of the scepter and went straight to the fishman attendant. The latter was hit in the head by the blood-red light before he had time to dodge. Then his entire body immediately split into countless fragments and became a mass on the ground. A disgusting pile of flesh and blood,
The other fishmen attendants all felt the same way, but no one dared to resist or question. The high priest Saipulaq represented the god of strength and revenge they believed in, and had powerful magic power that these ordinary people could not resist, so these The fishman attendants all prostrated on the ground, hoping that the high priest would not vent his anger on them again.
High Priest Saipulaqi waved his hand, indicating that the mess in front of him should be cleaned up, so there were many fishmen attendants who quickly broke the pile of flesh and blood into pieces, as well as the pile of flesh and blood that fell to the ground and broke into dozens of pieces. All the stone statues were removed, and not long after, the entire cave returned to its original cleanliness and tidiness. Except for the smell of blood in the air, it was no longer possible to tell that a fishman attendant had died tragically here.
After his subordinates had taken care of everything, Saipulaqi gave the order in a plain but unquestionable tone: "Now our tribe is in crisis, and we must survive this crisis. I want to pay tribute to the great god of strength and revenge, Durag. Pray to obtain His mercy and guide us in the direction of our lost ways. Prepare sacrifices as soon as possible."
"As you command, High Priest." Although the fish-men attendants looked at each other, they still respectfully agreed, and then slowly retreated. Praying to the gods and receiving the oracle was Saipulaq's greatest reliance, and it was also his greatest reliance during his rule. The foundation of Yulutel, with the support of that god, the crippled fishman boy who was once just a poor man who had to make a living by picking up garbage, turned out to be the leader of the tens of thousands of fishman tribes that ruled Yulutel. He has been the high priest for fifty years, and also accepts offerings from all races within a radius of nearly a thousand miles. It can be said that Saipulaki is the supreme king in this sea area.
After a long period of time, four young murloc women quietly walked into the large cave. They were wearing almost no clothes, only a simple cloak covering their vital parts. These four murlocs After the girl walked up to the high priest who was sitting on the spot, she almost numbly took off her cloak, and crawled in front of Sepulaki naked, revealing the smooth and delicate scales on her body.
Although the fish-man high priest Saipulaqi was already old, his eyes still showed a strange brilliance. He was obviously fascinated by the female body of the fish-men in front of him. He recited a few spells in a low voice to him. After praying to the gods, the male features that had aged due to age turned out to be as majestic as before, far superior to ordinary young fish-men. After obtaining the weapons to attack the city and conquer the land, Saipulaq strode towards his attendants who were carefully selected from the clan. The young woman who came out pressed hard on them and began the most ferocious conquest.
This was the first step in Saipulaq's prayer ceremony to his god of strength and revenge. In the fifty years he ruled this area, he held such prayers three or two times almost every year. Ritual, all the young and beautiful fish-men women in the entire fish-man tribe could not escape his clutches, although Saipulaqi did not understand why his god had such a strange ritual, and wanted to have sex with that To communicate with the gods, you must first combine with the opposite sex, and then perform sacrifices with male blood, and finally let him send a great oracle, but Saipulaki enjoys this process very much.
After struggling for several hours, the power borrowed from the gods by the fish-man high priest Seplaqi slowly disappeared, and his male characteristics returned to their original state. Seplaqi stood up from the body of the last female fishman. , looked at the opposite sex he had just conquered with a very satisfied look, and his heart was filled with gratitude to the gods. After hearing the sound in the large cave disappear, the fishman attendant waiting outside walked in cautiously, and brought Those murloc women were casually wrapped up and carried away, and then nearly a hundred tightly tied mermaid men were escorted in.
These young fishmen all had things stuffed into their mouths, and their bodies bound by ropes had many scars. It was obvious that they did not perform this ritual voluntarily. After these fishmen were escorted in, eight of them wore red clothes on their shoulders. The cloaked fish-man priests walked in in a neat formation and quickly walked in. The cloaks of these fish-man priests all had a mask emblem composed of countless tiny fish scales. It was obvious that they were similar to the Muhamra priest.
"Be honest." A fishman man who was about to be a sacrifice saw Sai Pluqi. His eyes were like fire, and his body desperately wanted to pounce on him, but he was blocked by the fish behind him. The man pushed him down to the ground hard, then swung the spiked hammer in his hand and hit the struggling fish-man man hard on the back several times. Blood immediately burst out, and the fish-man man also suffered from the pain. He was severely injured and slowly lost his ability to move.
The reason why this fish-man man was so angry was because he saw his fiancée being carried out just now. Unfortunately, although his strength was good, he was unable to resist the magic of Sepulach and his priests. A small His hypnosis skills made him a prisoner, and his fiancée obviously became a victim of Saipulaqi's conspiracy. The fish-man man was unwilling to accept it, but unfortunately he could not do anything now. He could only turn his anger into his eyes. Nailed to the body of Sai Praqi,
"Well, let the sacrifices begin." The fish-man high priest Saipulaqi did not notice the hateful looks directed at him from the sacrifices. He decided the fate of these fish-men men in a calm tone. After receiving the high priest's advice, After giving the order, the fishmen attendants forcibly picked up these compatriots as sacrifices and placed them in every corner of the cave, and then chopped off their heads with force. The blood soon flowed throughout the large cave, completely staining the ground. turned red, and the heads of the fishmen were respectfully placed in front of the fishman high priest, piled up into a square skull altar.
The fish-man high priest Saipulaqi recited a spell loudly, and then his body disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already standing on the skull altar stacked with the fish-man heads. The high priest started the sacrificial ceremony. The eight fish-man priests quickly took their positions and stood on all four sides of the skull altar. Then they followed the high priest Sepulach and loudly recited praises to the skull altar. Psalms of the god of strength and vengeance,
A gust of dark wind immediately blew in the air of the entire cave, and then there were faint sighs of contentment in the sound of the wind. After hearing this sound, the fishmen attendants all felt as if they were facing the enemy, and they quickly finished their work. Then he left the big cave as if he was running away. The high priest Saipulaqi held up the bone scepter in his hand and shouted the name of the god loudly, hoping to wake him up and come to this plane as soon as possible. In "Dulagh" After the name of this murloc god of power and revenge spread throughout every corner of the cave, souls slowly stood up from the blood all over the cave. They were the murloc sacrificers who had just died.
These fish-man sacrificers seem to still have some consciousness in life, but their souls are no longer controlled by their own consciousness, but float empty in mid-air, converging in front of the high priest Sepulaki. In a short time, the souls of these ninety-nine young fishmen were fused together, and a dark whirlpool appeared in front of the fishman high priest Sepulaki.
"Ha." A long and cold breath came out from the dark whirlpool. After hearing this sound, the nine priests, including the fishman high priest Sepulaqi, all stopped chanting. They were kneeling on the ground with great piety, paying tribute to their great gods who had descended to this plane. The only sound left in the entire cave was the sound of breathing coming closer and closer from the dark whirlpool.
"Something needs to wake me up, my most devout believers." A disembodied voice slowly appeared in the large cave. This voice was unusually light, as if it was not a real existence, but only appeared among the priests. In their minds, after hearing the voice of the gods, the high priest Sepulaki immediately raised his head. He found that the dark vortex had indeed transformed into a face with no discernible race or gender as usual. It looks very much like the masks that appear on those sacrificial cloaks. Obviously this is the reason why the mask emblem appears.
