The next day, Regnar received a notification from Olgar Rock right after breakfast. The inheritance ceremony is ready and can begin in the afternoon, and this ceremony will be presided over by Olgar Rock himself.
Thinking of this, Regnar couldn't help but sigh. This orc was not only the chief of the new empire, but as a high-level shaman, he was also the high priest of the orc empire. If you look at it from a human perspective, Olgar Rock already has political power and divine power in one body. He is extremely powerful in the world of orcs.
Regnar responded, he did not tell Annelotte about Garona's Heart. Firstly, it was because both of them were angry and quarreling, and secondly, because this matter was a bit vague in the first place, and it was up to two people to decide whether it would succeed or not. There was no point in telling Annelotte in advance. Third... Regnar also wanted to deliberately hide it from the girl, because judging from Annelotte's current performance, she still puts the guild first. Once Regnar inherits any power from Garona's heart, Annelotte will undoubtedly report it to the guild.
Although he also belongs to the upper echelons of the Moon Shadow Thieves, Regnar is not stupid enough to hand over all his secrets to the guild. He was still slightly wary of the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild, and because of this, he had a slight estrangement from Annelotte.
In the afternoon, Regnar quietly avoided Annelotte and Inelise, and was led by the orc attendants to the ancestral altar.
This altar originally belonged to the Earthshaker clan. After Olgarok pacified all the orc tribes, he ordered the establishment of Orgrimmar on the Earthshaker tribe camp. Therefore, the ancestral altars have been completely preserved and have not been demolished or rebuilt. They are located inside the chief's palace, but they are important places in the clan and cannot be entered by ordinary people.
In Regner's guess, the orc sacrifice should be like this: the flames of the torches around the dark altar were beating like will-o'-the-wisps. They did not bring much light to the altar, and their only function was to bring light to the altar. The altar full of decay adds a bit of gloom and weirdness. The main priest, Olgar Rock, was covered in colorful oil paints and welcomed Regner's arrival with a solemn and solemn expression on his face. Around them, countless naked auxiliary priests spoke incomprehensible bird language and danced with great fangs and claws. After the ceremony began, Olgarok took out a strange-shaped sacrificial knife stained with blood from his arms, and then gave an order, and several elite orc warriors brought a sacrifice. It could be a beast, or it could be an intelligent creature, orcs or humans. Then the warchief had a fanatical look on his face while he dug out the heart of the sacrifice while muttering something. He used some strange magic to sacrifice the sacrifice, and then used it to gain the power of Garona's heart and infuse it into Thunder. Gner's body.
When he was a child, he heard the old man tell many stories about barbarian sacrifices. The scenes were all similar, and the process could not escape the circle of spooky, weird and bloody. Therefore, before accepting this inheritance ceremony, he repeatedly warned himself that even if Olga Rock cut out a human heart in front of him, he would have to restrain his anger. After all, this ceremony was for his own good.
However, when the ancestral altar really appeared in front of him, Regnar couldn't help but froze.
Different from the expected eerie and weird scene, the ancestor altar couldn't help but look grand and majestic. Buildings tens of meters high are rare in the world of orcs. It took Regnar several minutes just to climb the stairs, but Olgar Rock on the altar had already made all preparations. Standing at a high place, Olgarok faced the strong wind of the wild plains. His robes and long hair danced together, and he looked a bit like an orc high priest.
The great chief was not covered in colorful oil paint today as Regnar had expected. He was wearing a dark blue robe. The style looked somewhat similar to the robe of a human mage, but he also wore obvious orcish attire. style. The chief's expression was as expected, solemn and solemn.
"Should we start now?" Regnar asked. He originally thought that today's sacrifice would be very troublesome. He had to shower and change clothes in the morning, and there were regulations on what to eat for breakfast. But now it seems that everything is not that complicated.
"If you're ready, you can start." There were only two people on the altar, Regnar and Olgar Rock, and there were no other auxiliary priests responsible for summoning the souls of the ancestors.
After getting Regnar's affirmation, Olga Rock took out a delicate little treasure box from his arms. He chanted a spell and opened the box. A round gem the size of an egg was lying there quietly. The gemstone is as dark as ink, but it is extremely dazzling under the sunlight.
"This is the Heart of Garona. Be careful, it is very heavy." Olgarok carefully picked up the Heart of Garona and handed it to Regnar with the same pained look on his face as yesterday. .
Regnar took the gem. Olgar Rock said it right. Although Garona's Heart is not large in size, it weighs ten kilograms. It feels full in the palm of your hand.
"What is this thing for?" Regnar asked curiously while playing with it.
"Swallow it." Olgarok said, and the orc uncle's tone at this time was a bit gloating.
"What what?! Swallow it?!" Regnar was stunned. This thing weighs ten kilograms. If I swallow it, it will pierce my stomach. It can't be smashed. Is it a sure thing that pressure sagging will occur? There's more, there's more, and more importantly...
Regnar's face turned dark green, and he asked cautiously: "I remember you said that someone has used this thing before, right?"
"Yes, but they all failed." Olgar Rock said calmly, but Regner could clearly feel that the gloating in the old boy's eyes was getting stronger.
"Then, the method they tried to use was..." Regnar's voice trembled slightly, praying that things would not be as he imagined.
"Oh, they swallowed it too," Olgarok said. "They just didn't make it, and then they spit it out."
Knew it! ! ! ! Regnar felt a mouthful of old blood welling up in his chest. He thought about the orc's fangs stuck with minced meat and vegetable leaves, and then looked at the Heart of Garona in his hand, and felt a surge of stomach acid.
"Okay, don't look at me with that look." Olga Rock said impatiently: "If you want to gain power, you have to pay some price. Your price is small enough."
Regnar glared at the great chief fiercely: "I always feel that you want to disgust me to death with this stone."
"Hey! If you don't want it, just take it back." Olgar Rock stretched out his hand: "I don't have any problem with you using such a weak force to face Horadric directly. Do you think I am willing to give up such a good thing?"
Regnar retracted his hand and quickly hid Garona's Heart in his arms. Although it is a bit disgusting, in any case, nausea is better than death, which is indeed a good thing.
"Then swallow it quickly, don't wait too long." Olgar Rock frowned. It was obvious that even the great chief of the Orc Empire was unhappy after losing such a top-quality treasure.
"I hope those orcs had the habit of brushing their teeth before!" Regnar raised his eyebrows. He stared at the Heart of Garona for a long time, and finally swallowed the Heart of Garona into his stomach with the courage of swinging a knife into the palace. .
Garona's Heart was quite large, and it got stuck in Regnar's throat for a long time. Regnar blushed and beat his chest wildly, hoping to swallow the thing as soon as possible.
On the side, Olga Roque probably felt that Regner's condition was still too good, so he stepped forward to make up for it gracefully: "Uh... By the way, what do you mean by brushing your teeth just now? This word is connected with habit. Together... is this an action you humans often use?"
Regnar slapped his chest wildly with his left hand, and pointed his right hand directly at Olgar Rock, who looked suspicious, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he didn't say anything, but his face turned from red to purple, and then from purple to black, and then Regnar rolled his eyes and fainted.
Olgar Rock looked at Regnar who was lying on the ground and foaming at the mouth, and couldn't help but smile a little proudly: "If you take a treasure from my orc, I will make you sick a few times."
He picked up Regnar and placed him in the center of the altar. He walked to the sacrificial position. He spent two seconds adjusting his state, and then began to cast spells and incantations, guiding Regnar to inherit Garona's power according to the secret method.
…
Regnar looked around in confusion. He was now in a very strange space. It was pitch black, there was no light, and he couldn't see anything. However, Regnar could clearly see his body and his hands. His feet, his legs and his clothes were all clearly visible.
There seemed to be no distinction between up, down, left and right in this space, but Regner clearly felt that he was stepping on flat ground, at least that's what the touch from his feet told him.
"Where is here?" Regnar shouted, his memory was not interrupted, so he remembered what happened after swallowing Garona's heart. But such a space was really weird and outrageous, so he couldn't help but ask questions, hoping that Olgar Rock, who was in charge of this inheritance ceremony, could tell him something somewhere.
"I don't know either." Olga Rock's voice rang out as expected: "Young man, I am now connected to your spirit through my clan's secret technique, so I can communicate with you. Now I simply To explain the situation, every strong man will retain a ray of his own consciousness in his inheritance. I think it won’t be long before that ray of consciousness of Lord Garona will come to you. As for how to gain her approval and accept her I don’t know about the inheritance. But I will always be by your side to help you make suggestions. I believe this won’t be too difficult.”
"Haven't there been people who tried to pass on the inheritance before? How come there are so many people and they still don't know what the test questions are? You guys are really not doing your job well!" Regner's head was full of black lines.
"After they swallowed it, they really just swallowed it, and did not enter such a space, so naturally we don't know how to get the approval of Lord Garona." Olga Rock explained: "Don't be nervous, young man , that you can enter this state means that you have been recognized by the Heart of Garona. As for how to gain the recognition of Lord Garona, I will help you find a way, so you don’t have to worry too much."
Before Olgar Rock finished speaking, a husky and sexy female voice rang out. She also used Common Language: "In my territory, cheating is not allowed. As a priest, you should go first. Get out!"
