The statue of the spider goddess Rose is enshrined in the family prayer room. Such an important existence is naturally a place that every family must guard against. Therefore, if you are not a core member of the family or do not have the trust of the family matron, you are absolutely not qualified to enter this place. room, not to mention participating in the entire sacrificial ceremony in the prayer room. However, this time, in order to win over people's hearts, Mother Maris broke the taboo for the first time and invited ten new allies of the Hrudian family to come and watch the ceremony. ,
Ten family matrons, each with two attendants, have a total of thirty places, and Hrudian only arranged fifty people. It can be said that in this matter, Matron Maris gave It is enough to save the face of her own allies, but Matron Maris is not fully prepared. Except for Ryan and Faras who will come to the scene to take charge, all defenses inside the entire prayer room are all taken care of by freshly baked legendary-level soul golems.
These legendary level soul golems stood around the prayer room hall without saying a word. If you didn't know them well, you would think that they were just statues for decoration. However, after experiencing the scene about half a month ago, After a series of bloody battles between families, no one in the entire Isopaton city was unaware of the power of the Horudian Golem Army.
Before the formal sacrifice, Matron Maris, who presides over the entire ceremony, will perform a series of activities, entering a meditative state to purify her mind, reciting poems praising the goddess Rose, and swearing in prayer to always obey the will of the goddess... Wait until After these auxiliary preparations are completed, it is time to offer sacrifices to the great spider goddess Rose. The more precious the sacrifice, the more it shows the believers' loyalty to the goddess, and they will naturally gain more. Many blessings from the goddess,
As early as last night, a huge mithril cauldron was placed at the foot of the statue of the goddess Rose in the prayer room. The surface of this cauldron supported by eight legs is full of exquisite reliefs, with records of Khrudian There are various famous battles, heroes and deeds in the family history. The cauldron contains a kind of light green sesame oil. This sesame oil with a mellow fragrance is carefully prepared from a certain secret formula. It is said that Spider The goddess Rose particularly likes the smell of this sesame oil. If you light it during sacrifice, it will greatly increase the chance of being noticed by the goddess.
As the host of the entire sacrificial ceremony today, Mother Maris was dressed completely differently from the past. She had already bathed once in advance, applied aphrodisiac perfume to her body, and then only wore a black dress with purple edges. The robe, just like this, standing barefoot in the family prayer room. The style of this robe is also different from other clothing. It has eight-legged spider-shaped hollows everywhere, allowing the plump skin of Matron Maris to be looming in it. When Mistress Maris walked around, her black robe with purple trim and extremely high slits could hardly cover anything, directly exposing Mistress Maris's round thighs.
Completely opposite to her attire, Matron Maris wore a very tight mithril mask on her head. This mask was shaped like a twisted spider with eight long legs coiled around Maris. At first glance, the back of the Mistress’s head looks like a big spider attached to Maris’s face. In addition to these costumes, Mistress Maris also holds a magic weapon in her hand, which is in the shape of a spider. The eight legs of the spider extend downwards and eventually come together to form a sharp blade. This spider-shaped dagger is exactly the same in style as the one in the hands of Matron Sabrina of the Alberni family.
Mother Maris waved her arm and turned on the magic circle inside the mithril cauldron. Then a group of emerald green flames ignited on the sesame oil. The air in the prayer room was immediately filled with a refreshing and sweet smell. When the sacrifice was made, After the flame was ignited, the maids who had been waiting outside the prayer room carried trays also carefully made of mithril and brought in various sacrifices.
Under the command of La Nina, these dark elf maids stepped forward one by one and stood beside Matron Maris. The priest of the goddess Rose, who presided over the sacrifice, personally picked up each offering. The sacrifices were thrown into the flames of the mithril cauldron, but surprisingly, these sacrifices were not burned and destroyed by the flames, but slowly disappeared in the flames. This change made Ma An expression of joy appeared on the face of Mistress Reese, but she wore a spider-shaped mask on her face, so others could not see this scene.
The disappearance of these sacrifices in the fire just shows that the great goddess Rose accepted the sacrifices from believers from other worlds. If there is anything in the sacrifice that makes goddess Rose dissatisfied, it will be thrown out by the flames, and even directly Triggering a fire from heaven, reducing the entire prayer room to ashes together with the statue of the goddess Rose. However, the latter situation is very rare. It usually only happens if the goddess Rose is seriously offended. Usually what follows is a large-scale divine punishment. Come and destroy all the families responsible for this sacrifice.
Seeing that the various sacrifices prepared by the family were slowly decreasing, the members of the Hrudian family who were watching the ceremony were all smiling. They were full of expectations for the future prospects of the family. Originally, this kind of sacrifice process was not allowed. Men are participating, but since Ryan is disguised as a dark elf man, Maris must solve this problem no matter what. Fortunately, this time, the people who need to be sacrificed are two powerful legendary creatures, and the safety of the sacrifice process must be ensured. , so Mother Maris justifiably mobilized the top twenty strong men in the family to attend. A total of six of these people were men. With them diverting their attention, Ryan participated as the seventh man. It's not very conspicuous,
Precious gems such as ice chalcedony, heart of the ocean, ice tear stone, fire agate, and the magic cores of various high-level monsters were all thrown into the flames by Matron Maris without hesitation, and then passed through They were transported to the palace of the Spider Goddess Rose in a strange way. Among these amazing and extremely precious sacrifices, about 30% were temporarily purchased. It was only such a small part, Hrudian The family spent hundreds of millions of gold coins on this, many of which were half-sold and half-gifted from allies. Otherwise, the cost would be even more shocking. If the previous Seventh Family naturally did not have this kind of strength, but now that they have Moeller and Ai After the huge wealth of Bernie and other families, these consumptions are only a bit huge for the Hrudian family, and are not considered a serious loss of vitality.
When the last gem was swallowed up by the emerald green flames, Mother Maris's face slowly became serious. She solemnly recited a long hymn to express her loyalty to the goddess Rose. During this period of time, La Nina personally took over the battle and led dozens of elite family guards to bring in the two tied legendary soul-capturing demons and placed them in the center of the prayer room.
The heads of these two soul-capturing demons are huge, occupying almost two-thirds of the entire body. Their limbs are relatively thin, but they still possess shocking explosive power. The terrifying thing about the soul-capturing demons is not How ferocious it is in close combat is not because of its extremely sharp teeth or claws, nor because of the poison in its blood, but because of their octopus-like mouths.
When the soul-capturing demon approaches its prey silently, it will burst into action, open its bloody mouth and attach itself to the prey's face. Then the soul-capturing demon will activate powerful spiritual power to control the mind of the prey that falls into their grasp. Get up, this is equivalent to the Soul Capture Demon replacing the prey's brain with its own brain. It only needs a thought, and the prey caught by the Soul Capture Demon will make any detailed movements like arms and fingers. ,
With this ability similar to "possession", as long as the opponent of the Soul Capture Demon is slightly negligent, he will be replaced by the Soul Capture Demon. Then all the abilities possessed by the "possessed" target will become Without the ability of the soul-capturing demon, unless the soul-capturing demon gives up this "possessed" state, or is rescued by a strong person who is better at soul magic than the soul-capturing demon, this target will forever become the soul-capturing demon's substitute.
At that time, the reason why La Nina captured these two preys relatively easily was because Ryan prepared a "rational heart" for them and their party that could prevent psychic attacks. With this magic jewelry, the Soul Prisoner Demon can possess the target's head. There was no way to control their prey through mental control in a short period of time. In this way, La Nina and the others only paid a few baits and successfully led the Soul Capture Demon into the trap that had been arranged in advance.
Now the two soul-capturing demons are lying on their backs on the altar in the center of the prayer room. Their limbs and bodies are tightly bound by finger-thick fine gold chains. These fine gold chains do not have any magic charms attached to them. Wen, their only effect is to be strong. Not to mention that the soul-capturing demon is not the kind of creature with infinite strength. Even several legendary creatures known for their brute force can never break free.
In order to prevent these two soul-capturing demons from affecting other people participating in the sacrifice, Ryan specially made a mask for them. This mask is attached with a "spiritual barrier" magic enchantment. They are worn on the soul-capturing demons. On the head of a soul-capturing demon, the latter's spiritual power was completely unable to penetrate. When Mother Maris stabbed the spider-shaped dagger in her hand deeply into the throat of a soul-capturing demon, blood immediately flowed along the wound. When it came out, the Soul Prisoner struggled desperately after being injured, but it could neither break free from the adamantine chains on its body nor attack Maris's mind through the mask on its head, so all its movements were in vain,
The altar used to sacrifice living creatures is specially made. It collects the blood of the sacrifices on the altar into a blood pool below for the sacrificer to use. After all the blood of the two soul-prisoning demons is released, , that blood pool was also filled with the blood of legendary creatures, but at this time the air was still filled with the sweet smell produced by burning sesame oil, so the fishy smell of blood was directly covered up,
