The door was finally fully opened, and everything in the inner hall was completely visible... A blood-colored mist that seemed to be there was in the air, and it naturally smelled of blood.
The place where the gods live is not bright, and even looks gloomy. On the walls, floors, and even pillars of the inner hall, intertwined rhizomes can be seen.
They are like blood vessels that supply blood, beating very regularly... As long as you look a little more carefully, you will find that the source of these roots comes from the blindfolded woman who is sitting upright.
It's her feet!
Her feet were like tree roots, they were actually rooted on the floor.
At this time, the moment she saw the god, Mayfair almost knelt down on the ground, she even knelt down, her eyes were full of too much information.
Awe, shock, wonder... fear.
"She doesn't seem to know about your arrival." Boss Luo said calmly at this time.
I don't know why it's [you] instead of [us]... Mayfair didn't even think carefully about whether this sentence was inappropriate, but just opened his mouth and subconsciously said: "I...I don't seem to feel the breath of life of the goddess."
Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "You said you saw the conversation between Captain Malik and the monster in the inner hall before?"
"I'm sure!" Mayfair nodded, "But it doesn't seem to be here now?"
Luo Qiu continued to ask: "Miss Mayfair, you said that it was because you saw a monster pretending to be a god, and then devoured the sacrifice you sent up the mountain... Can you tell me about the specific situation you saw. It stands to reason that if there is nothing else, you should not come to the temple, right?"
Mayfair looked at the motionless female god sitting above in fear, and nodded hesitantly: "Yes, people from the tribe are not allowed to enter the temple except for important days... But I was actually Trainees of the Temple Guard."
"Apprentice?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't tell you guys before." Mayfair nodded and said, "At the beginning, I was sent to the temple as a trainee, and I have been receiving training. During that time, I have been living in the temple...Of course, As a trainee, I am not allowed to enter many places and can only move within a limited range."
"Actually, during that time, I have always followed the rules. In addition to completing the training tasks every day, I went back to the room and never wandered around... I will soon complete the training tasks and become an official member of the guard team." .It’s such a high honor in the tribe, and I often get so excited that I can’t sleep at the end of training because of it.”
Mayfair smiled wryly at this time: "Maybe I was really excited at the time... On the day before the end of the training, I couldn't fall asleep anyway, and my mind was full of training the next day and being promoted to a full-time player I don't know why, but I just want to go outside. I thought about it, I have been going up the mountain for a long time, but I haven't been to many places... "
"So..." Boss Luo smiled and said, "Just before the last day, you broke the rules you have always followed?"
"I know very well that as long as the second day is over, I will be able to patrol other places in the temple in a fair manner." Mayfair sighed: "But at that time, I couldn't restrain myself. The impulse to rebel... Do you know? I walked alone in those places that have been forbidden to enter. In the dark night, I have a unique charm. I think this feeling came after I became an official team member. I will no longer feel it, and gradually, I unknowingly dodged the patrolling guards, and even went deeper and deeper, and finally, I came to the inner hall."
"I saw the light, which is the light coming out of this door." Mayfair said with a pale face at this time: "I know this is the place where the gods live. At that time, I thought about leaving immediately...but at this moment , I heard the sound of screams! Then, a figure suddenly fell out from the gate!"
At this time, Mayfair covered her hands... and grabbed her face, only revealing the widened eyes between her fingers, "She is covered in blood, I recognize this child! She is the child I sent up the mountain during my training." …I even talked to her! We even encouraged each other… She, Melif she is my best friend! She saw me, she even reached out to me, she wanted me to save her! But I didn't, I was stunned at the time, my brain was blank, and my strength seemed to be drained. I could only look at Merif like a stone, and she was dragged in by something little by little. Then there was the sound of her screaming... and finally there was no sound. I fled, desperately back to my room."
"the next day?"
Mayfair said: "The next day, I didn't participate in the final training, and I left the temple privately... They believed that I had given up the test, and was even imprisoned by the tribe because I left privately. I told them that I was in the temple. I saw everything, but they didn't believe me, no one believed me. I was imprisoned all the time... Then suddenly one day, the village chief came to me and told me that I was chosen by the temple to become the new Offerings..."
She breathed a sigh of relief, "I know that no matter what I say, no one will believe it... How could they believe that the gods they have been revering all this time turned out to be human-eating demons? Everyone has always thought that being elected as a sacrifice It is the highest honor to enter the temple as a sacrifice. We never regard being a sacrifice as a terrible thing. Because we all know that the so-called sacrifice is a gift from the gods to us, so we can And enter the kingdom of the gods, which is the ideal land of our elves. But how could I have thought, thought... This is not the case at all. I gave up proving myself and waited for the opportunity silently. Finally, the day before I was going to be sent to the temple , which is what I have been experiencing [today], I found an opportunity, escaped from the village, and then fled into the [forest]... You also know what happened after that.”
"So you didn't enter the inner hall at that time, so you can see everything clearly." Boss Luo said: "Then when you entered the door just now, how could you be sure that she is your god?"
"Because I have seen it." Mayfair said seriously: "We were born and grew up... For a long time, every festival, we will go up to the mountain to pay homage, and gods will appear to pray for us, so we have all seen the appearance of gods... Now , Seeing her like this is enough proof! There must be a monster that sneaked in here, and even made the gods look like this, and then pretended to be her! Captain Malik must also know about this, Because he was looking for fresh food for the monster! These roots must be the curse of the monster on the gods... No, I want to rescue her!"
As he said that, Mayfair walked quickly towards the blindfolded woman who was sitting upright. She even came to the blindfolded woman easily, and reached out to grab the woman's palm.
"It's warm... the gods are not dead!" Mayfair suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
As she spoke, she directly bent down, intending to hug the female god out of the chair, but at this moment, she seemed to have discovered something, and she screamed again.
Even, Mayfair was so frightened that she backed away again and again, and finally tripped over a root on the ground and fell directly to the ground... She looked in horror at the god on the chair, whose body was no longer dignified because of her movement , but crooked up.
what did she see
What she saw was the back of the god... Her back was actually densely grown with fibrous roots!
At this moment, the blindfolded woman whose body was already crooked, the golden cloth strips on her face suddenly slipped down... She saw the blindfolded eyes.
Blood-red, without pupils... and the body of the sitting female god suddenly came alive as if she suddenly stretched out her hand, and the palm of her hand turned into rapidly extending tentacles, entangled her directly !
Mayfair was shocked and struggled desperately... She turned her head in horror, only to see that Boss Luo behind her was completely entangled by the fibrous roots on the ground at this time... entangled into a huge cocoon!
Mayfair was even more terrified, her neck was completely strangled by the fibrous roots, she was almost suffocated, she could not speak anything, and maybe she would be strangled to death like this.
However, the contraction of the fibrous root stopped unknowingly... She still had difficulty breathing, but she could feel that the fibrous root had really stopped moving.
"Looks like a little mouse has run in."
She heard the voice of speaking... She rang in an instant. This voice was the voice of the conversation with Captain Macri: the monster pretending to be a god!
Mayfair looked for the sound, and saw a figure slowly walking out of a door behind the chair of the gods.
Male... A male with slightly pale skin and extremely well-groomed appearance.
He walked out slowly, even wiping his lips with a handkerchief as if cleaning up after a meal.
"Demon...monster..." The voice was squeezed out from Miss Elf's mouth with difficulty.
"Monster?" The man folded the handkerchief for wiping his mouth at this time, and then hung it on his chest pocket. He opened his hands slightly, and said indifferently: "Look at me like this... compared to the goddess in front of you Your Highness, who is more like a monster."
"It must be you! It's you who cursed the gods! It's you who made the gods look like this!" Mayfair was furious: "It's you who have been eating my people all the time!"
"I remember, your smell." The man smiled slowly: "You are the kid who stood outside the door that night... I heard from Malik that after you went down the mountain, you told the elves of the tribe everywhere, you What I saw. There is no way, I can only make you the chosen one. I heard that you have already escaped, why did you come back? Wouldn’t it be good to leave... Of course, I don’t mind if you come to the door yourself .”
While speaking, the man walked slowly in front of Mayfair, he reached out and touched Mayfair's cheek, smiled and said: "I think you should taste good, but it's a pity that I've just eaten, although the taste Not much... But it's okay, you can wait for the next meal."
"You...don't touch..."
Mayfair didn't finish her sentence, and the fibrous roots that entangled her climbed up a little in an instant, directly sealing her mouth.
Only then did the man see another one in the inner hall... behind Mayfair, Boss Luo, who had been entangled in a cocoon a long time ago.
He walked over slowly, smiled and said: "I know what to eat next meal, I don't know what to eat next meal... It's really exciting, this kind of connection will be revealed, knowing what it is Feel."
Mayfair was struggling desperately, his eyes full of eagerness.
The man had already walked in front of Boss Luo's cocoon... But he turned around suddenly at this moment, and said with a slight smile: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, this god of yours was actually dug out from the quiet forest at the foot of the mountain... It is the monster in your mouth."
Mayfair didn't believe it, but what she saw in front of her eyes made her disbelieve that dignified god. Her face and her body turned into rough bark!
"It's quite unexpected." The man's eyes were full of jokes: "Isn't it?"
In this way, he no longer paid attention to Mayfair at this time, and turned to face the big cocoon in front of him... The roots on the big cocoon loosened little by little, and the man's eyes even showed a strong look of expectation.
"What is it, is it a young and beautiful child? Or a masculine and righteous warrior..." The man narrowed his eyes: "Or, a panicked lost lamb?"
Finally, the roots have been untied, and the man can clearly see the appearance of the caught prey.
A young man with black hair and black pupils and a calm face: Boss Luo just stood like this, showing no signs of panic because of being trapped.
While the man was looking at him, he was also looking at this mysterious man.
Although somewhat unexpected, the man in the inner hall of the temple looked sideways at this moment, and after a while, he frowned slightly and said, "You... are a follower?"
"Don't you know me?" Boss Luo smiled and said, "We have met...Mr. Valli."
Mr Valli.
The man who appeared in the inner hall of the temple was the owner of the castle... one of the heirs of the Zmich family, Wali Zmich!
…
"Well, you are indeed a follower." The man...Mr. Valli in front of him nodded lightly at this moment: "However, although you are a follower, I am not the Mr. Valli you have seen."
Boss Luo asked curiously, "Oh? Could it be that Mr. Valli has two brothers...or in other words, the two are actually twin brothers."
"This is a secret." The [Mr. Valli] in front of him smiled: "And the important thing is, you will never know what the answer to this secret is... Although, you can get here, probably It's going to give me quite a headache out there, but the headache goes away pretty quickly. It's another perfect game."
As he said that, [Mr. Valli]'s face suddenly became indifferent: "I changed my mind... Extra meal."
As soon as he raised his hand, the intertwined roots in the inner hall immediately shot out... They were so sharp that they seemed to be able to pierce through everything. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of roots had directly pierced Boss Luo's body.
But at this moment, these sharp fibrous roots bent directly... It seemed that what they stabbed was not soft skin, but hard metal.
"You?" [Mr. Valli] couldn't help but startled.
Immediately, Boss Luo's body was flickered with colorful brilliance, and a set of sun-like armor directly covered his whole body and that big...sword of holy light!
"This suit and this sword are..." [Mr. Valli] was startled, and took two steps back subconsciously.
He suddenly felt very anxious.
