Chapter 67: sacrifice

Views:

Gron was at a loss again...

"Did I do anything wrong?" Goron looked at Monica in front of him, his face full of doubts, but he asked seriously.

There was no pretense or ridicule in the expression on Goron's face. Monica could see that he really didn't understand where he was wrong. Faced with such serious questions from Goron, now it was Monica's turn to figure it out. Whether you are right or wrong.

It was obviously this group of people who came to Goron first and even prepared to kill him, so it is understandable that Goron wants to kill them now. In this fairy tale apprentice training camp, it is the most basic rule that the weak and the strong suppress competitors. Judging from these principles, Gron did nothing wrong.

Not only that, but... On the contrary, he who rushed out to protect this girl was meddling in other people's business, or even hindering Goron's legitimate revenge

So, you are the one who is in the wrong? But instinctively, Monica still doesn't want to see this handsome boy who makes her feel a little warm and affectionate turn into a cold-blooded murderer.

Monica finally understood now that she was not trying to save the girl, but simply did not want to see a significant difference between Goron and a certain image in her mind.

A very selfish and somewhat self-deceptive idea.

She smiled wryly at herself, and then the girl stretched out her palm. On her palm were the three Ai Zhe Red Stones.

"She, she doesn't have the guts to trouble you anymore. Take these red stones. This time, this time you will spare her."

Goron looked at the girl in front of him whose attitude was changing again and again, hesitating in his heart whether he should continue killing or give up. However, Goron knew that Monica had helped him several times, although her help was not necessarily what he needed. Yes, but he was still clear about the other party's goodwill towards him. Thinking of this, Goron reached out and took away two red stones from Monica's palm, turned around and walked towards the omnipotent altar.

"What do you mean?" Monica looked at the remaining red stone in her palm, raised her head and looked at Goron's back and asked.

"Huh?" Goron turned around and asked strangely: "Isn't it true that only the last person standing in this competition can get the red stone? Do you want me to give her one too?"

Gronn's eyes were fixed on the girl who was still sitting on the ground, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes. He had already heard about the preciousness of red stone from the troll witch doctor Old Haman. For him who was now eager to increase his strength, She said that the value of this thing is incomparable. Monica has no hostility towards her. Goron can bear the pain and share one with her, but if she wants to share one with this girl, then Goron will have no choice but to continue killing people. .

The girl who had just escaped death keenly read the dangerous message in Goron's eyes. She cried loudly: "No, I don't want that stone anymore, don't kill me." Then she used all four limbs together and ran away rolling and crawling. Got out.

Knowing that Goron had misunderstood her, Monica sighed, put the last remaining red stone back into Goron's palm, and said with a wry smile: "I still have self-knowledge, but I don't." If you are qualified to obtain this stone, it will only cause trouble in my hands. It should belong to you."

After saying these words, the girl quickly turned around and left, never looking back.

Gronn shook his head. He couldn't understand this girl more and more. He had nothing to do with his sister, the naughty Lily Blackhand, and his beloved little centaur, who always liked to trample on his coquettish Yalta Thunder. No, Monica is like the tide in Haishi Bay, always changing, making people confused. However, Goron did not have the time and energy to study this human girl. In addition, being able to monopolize three red stones was naturally the best outcome for him.

Under the gaze of everyone, Goron walked up to the dwarf mentor, the Volcano Aunt, who had been silent.

"Excuse me, can I sacrifice now?" Goron asked cautiously.

Aunt Volcano nodded silently, and then watched Goron place the three Aizhe red stones in his hand on the miniature altar. The greater the quantity and quality of the sacrifices, the more divine favors can be obtained. Although the Ai Zhe Red Stone, which can activate the fighting spirit for three people, is a bit wasteful to use on one person, Gron's behavior is in line with the bloody elimination rules of the fairy tale training camp where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong.

There is no need to recite incantations or ritual prayers. In the blink of an eye, the miniature altar begins to overflow with light golden divine power. Complex magic arrays emerge in mid-air, and a majestic divine power changes the entire space. It is no longer real, as if the alien space overlaps with the real world.

The sacrificial ceremony has already begun.

At this moment, the dwarf aunt suddenly looked at Gronn and asked meaningfully: "Boy, were you born in the executioner family?"

... ...

On the Dao Tower Continent, large principalities will have specialized executioner families. Although they have no territory, they have hereditary titles and the social status of low-level nobles. The only job the executioner family has to bear is to The criminals were beheaded on the execution platform.

In the aristocratic etiquette and the teachings of the Holy Light, beheading is a very serious and solemn ceremony, especially when beheading those truly great nobles, or even royal families who have committed unforgivable sins, rituals that need to be prepared There are hundreds of etiquette and precautions. The executioners responsible for direct executions are even less likely to use lowly civilians or even slaves. Nobles can only die in the hands of nobles. This is the paranoia and pride of the nobility, so even if The humble position of executioner can only be filled by nobles.

Children who come from a family of executioners must learn how to kill as soon as they are sensible.

Yes, not to learn how to fight, but to learn the simplest art of killing.

Goron has no objection to killing. His skillful killing movements and plain killing mentality are impossible for an adult, let alone a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time and no longer cares about life and death. But in contrast, Cong Ge There was almost no strong murderous aura in Long's body, which was completely unreasonable. In addition, he obviously has not learned any fighting skills. After thinking about it, only being from a family of executioners can explain this strange phenomenon in him.

This is really a messy thing. When Gron was forging his identity, after thinking about it, only the situation about the executioner's family that he heard from a certain story was the closest to him. He hadn't waited for himself yet. After telling her, the dwarf volcano aunt had already "guessed" it out smartly, so Goron gave her a simple acquiescence.

Seeing Goron's unexpected reaction, Aunt Huoshan nodded with satisfaction, and then began to search her memory for the executioner family that was related to the fairy tale circus.

"Are they the remnants of the Foster family that we exterminated a few years ago? Or the Kerubelos family that we had business dealings with? Or the troubled Dominic Cristian family? Forget it. , I can’t think of it, and I’m too lazy to think about it anymore. I just need to tell Lord Blood Red Riding Hood later. Anyway, no matter who this kid is and what the purpose of coming to the fairy tale is, his fate cannot be changed. It just so happens that he can’t change it. He's not a boring guy, he just wants to kill our boring time..."

While the volcano aunt was silently thinking, Goron's ceremony had entered the most critical step.

The three Ai Zhe red stones have been broken down into the purest divine essence by the altar, and then shrouded like a cloud of mist on the dozens of statues placed on the table. These statues... at least represent something. The objects of each god emitted hazy holy light one by one, and some of these holy lights separated and wrapped the Goron in front of the sacrificial altar. This is the phenomenon in which the sacrificer establishes a formal connection with the altar of the temple of the gods. . Then the next step is for the sub-consciousness of the gods to begin to detect whether Goron is qualified to sacrifice him.

The light on the statues of the gods extinguished one after another. This was a sign that these gods refused to accept the sacrifice of Goron. This is a very normal phenomenon. Although I do not understand the evaluation criteria for the gods to choose believers, being selected by the gods will definitely not be the same. It's an easy thing. The only exception is Kratos, the god of war. This aggressive and careless god never asks about the origin of the sacrificer or the purpose of the sacrificer, as long as he is willing to fight and kill. , he will accept his sacrifice equally.

Everyone thought that it would be like the scene they often saw, with only the statue of the God of War shining brightly on the altar. So when all the statues on the table, including the bronze statue of the God of War Kratos, all extinguished their light, there was a sound of gloating with some confusion in the crowd.

It turned out that all the gods were unwilling to accept Gronn's sacrifice. Even the God of War Kratos extinguished Gronn's lamp. Could it be that he was the legendary person whom the gods hated, or even the enemy of the gods

The first sacrifice is extremely important. Although there have been few examples of this happening before, facts have proven that those who sacrifice for the first time are not accepted by any god will never have fighting spirit again throughout their lives.

In other words, Gronn has been completely isolated from the warriors.

Just when everyone was puzzled, and many people even began to calculate what they could gain from the failure of Goron's sacrifice, another surprising thing happened.

The essence of divine power originally transformed from the red stone of Aizhe, after being rejected by the gods, flowed back into Gron's body. Suddenly, it gathered into a line from the top of his head, shot straight into the sky, and then condensed into a bright red angular shape in mid-air. of talismans.

The talisman appeared in mid-air for about five or six seconds and then slowly dissipated, and finally turned into a red light and merged into Goron's body.

"This, this is... Isn't this the talisman of the ancestral spirit?" Aunt Huoshan looked at Gron in surprise, and said with some disbelief: "You... The sacrifice actually received a response from the ancestral spirit. You, you became a magician and a shaman? "

... ...

Among the gods of the Blade Tower Continent, the God of Shaman is the most special one, because strictly speaking, he cannot be regarded as a true god at all. The shaman god, also known as the ancestral spirit, has orcs, trolls, ogres and other demi-humans from the chaotic camp as its main believers. They believe that the souls of their ancestors will gather together to form a great ancestral spirit consciousness. After the death of devout shamanistic believers and the most outstanding heroes, their souls will return to the sea of consciousness to be with their ancestors.

For thousands of years, the shamanistic believers in the chaotic camp have continued to worship their ancestors. The huge power of faith finally allowed the ancestors to ignite the divine fire and become a god in the true sense, a person with godhead but no independent divine consciousness. The god of will.

Among the three major systems of warrior, magician and divine magician, the magician directly obtains the already formed rules and skills from the gods. Although it is not like Dou Qi, which can tailor the most suitable skills for itself, it does not use Through practice and exploration, you can master the true power of divine magic. You can easily obtain powerful power by simply making sacrifices or praying. Compared with fighting spirit magic, it can be said that each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Just after the ancestral spirit of the shaman god accepted Goron's sacrifice, two more professional skills exclusive to the shaman appeared in Goron's mind out of thin air.

"Stone Tooth Weapon", and... "Secondary Healing Wave".
