Lord Highlander

  Chapter 42 41. Ceremony (Part 2)

  After the lottery ended, three indigenous hunters stood up from the crowd.

  He walked up to the steps with his chest straight, and handed the bamboo stick with the red mark in his hand to the great wizard Ino Yatila.

The great wizard raised his head, stared at the three aboriginal hunters seriously, stretched out his hand to dip a little white powder in the box handed over by the girl Molly, drew strange symbols on the foreheads of the three aboriginal hunters, and said to them: An unintelligible aboriginal language.

   "The words the great wizard said probably meant 'blessing'."

  Suldak sat next to He Boqiang and whispered to He Boqiang.

  The three indigenous hunters clasped their hands together, knelt down in front of the great wizard, and put their foreheads against the great wizard's feet.

  The indigenous hunters behind them also learned to kneel down, seeing their worship, as if standing in front of them was a god.

  At this time, the swordsman Baikalel sitting in the big wooden house said to the soldiers:

   "We are going to participate in one of their ceremonies later, please be careful not to make any faux pas during the ceremony."

  His gaze was very severe, especially when he looked at Augustus. Just when he was talking with the great wizard, Augustus sat below and looked around, looking very impolite.

  Hearing what Swordsman Bacarel said, although Augustus looked very respectful, he still showed a nonchalant expression.

  He muttered in a low voice: "Master Swordsman, I don't think we need to rely on the strength of the natives..."

  Bacarel Swordsman didn't explain too much, he just said: "You haven't seen that door of evil spirits, I'm afraid you still don't know what kind of terrifying existence it is, and you will understand later!"

  Augustus shrugged his shoulders, and finally became quiet under the pressure of the swordsman Bacarel.

  …

  The only stone building in the indigenous village is the round altar in front of you.

   Above the altar is a ten-meter-square platform with a height of only three meters. There are stone steps leading to the platform in four directions. The entire altar is made of pebbles. From a distance, it looks like the most magnificent building in the village.

   "Woooooooooooooo..."

  Ten young indigenous people stood under the altar and blew the horn. The low sound of the horn echoed in the village. The indigenous people in the village, regardless of gender, old or young, came out of the wooden houses and gathered towards the altar.

  However, women accounted for more than 70% of the total number of this group of aboriginals, and there were also many aboriginal children. Soon everyone gathered around the altar.

Members of the second team were also standing by the altar. He Boqiang looked back and estimated that there were hundreds of people in this aboriginal village, but the adult aboriginal hunters were only a few dozen people who had just drawn lots. In He Boqiang's eyes, here Almost all the native men in the country are dead.

  The great wizard Inoyatila climbed up to the altar with the support of the girl Molly. There were a total of more than ten steps, and the great wizard rested twice.

  Following the great wizard Inoyatila were the three selected indigenous hunters. They were only wearing a pair of leather pants with a crotch, revealing their bronze-colored tendons, and followed the great wizard to the altar.

The great wizard stood on the altar, his aura changed instantly, he looked like a different person, his stooped body straightened up, with a kind of sacred radiance on his body, and the loose wrinkles on his face seemed to have changed all of a sudden. It has been reduced a lot, and a pair of eyes has become impossible to look directly at.

  She raised her crutches with both hands, looked up at the sky, and muttered a series of aboriginal languages ​​silently.

  Three indigenous hunters knelt side by side on the altar, clasped their hands together in front of their chests, appearing devout and focused.

After the great wizard finished chanting the mantra, a scene that made He Boqiang somewhat unbelievable appeared. It happened to be a sunny afternoon at this time. Since a beam of light fell from the sky and directly shrouded the great wizard, then gradually appeared behind the great wizard A huge phantom appeared, the phantom is seven or eight meters high with two faces, four arms and two legs.

  Seeing this phantom of the demon god, all the indigenous people standing in front of the altar, regardless of gender, kneeled down and began to worship their gods.

  Only the swordsman Bacarel and the soldiers of the second team stood abruptly under the stage, looking around blankly.

On the four corners of the altar are four pottery pots the size of faces. At this time, they have been burning silently. A half-meter-high blue flame burst out from the pots. He Boqiang had a very strong feeling, and his intuition told him that the pots The fire inside is cold.

  In view of the previous warning of the swordsman Bacarel, the soldiers of the second team refrained from speaking.

  He Boqiang stood in the audience, as if he was watching a ridiculous magic show.

  But his heart was extremely shocked at this moment. Just as the beam of light on the altar fell for a moment, it seemed that there was some invisible force in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, and at the same time pulled him into the void.

At this time, the void formed by my spiritual sea of ​​consciousness is no longer just my own body phantom and the countless stars covered by the body phantom, and suddenly there is a double-faced four-armed demon **** on the opposite side of my body phantom. One face carries negative emotions such as fear, destruction, and hatred, while the other face of the statue carries courage, justice, and hope. These are some inner feelings that He Boqiang cannot express.

  The huge **** statue stayed in He Boqiang's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness for only a second. Just when He Boqiang's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness was about to collapse, the phantom of the demon **** disappeared, as if it had never been in the past.

  He Boqiang woke up, and suddenly saw the body of the great wizard on the altar shaking at the same time, and Ino Yatila looked at He Boqiang in amazement.

   Fortunately, the ceremony was not interrupted because of this. Otherwise, He Boqiang really didn't know how to explain it. Did he really need to use a branch and find a sandy place to draw what just happened?

  The girl Molly standing beside the great wizard also gave He Boqiang a strange look.

He didn't have time to think about these things, because there was a commotion under the altar, He Boqiang looked in the direction of the sound, and saw four indigenous hunters slowly walking out of the forest carrying a huge stretcher. The corpse of the evil spirit, the indigenous hunter carried the corpse of the evil spirit to the altar step by step. The head of the evil spirit had already been cut off with a sharp weapon, and it was placed on the chest of the corpse.

   Immediately afterwards, four more indigenous hunters brought over a dead ghost, and three consecutive dead ghosts were carried to the altar.

The great wizard took out a sharp black horn knife full of symbols from his body. It seemed to be an ancient bone dagger. He bent down, holding the long horn protruding from the evil spirit's forehead in one hand, and holding it in the other hand. Holding the dagger and sticking it on the top of the evil spirit's head, he put the evil spirit's head on the tray with great reverence, and placed it in front of the phantom of the demon **** in the middle of the altar.

  He Boqiang knew from the memory of the original owner of the body that it was an extremely rare "sacrifice" ceremony.

  Currently, this kind of ritual is only passed down in the hands of some indigenous great witches. In the Grimm Empire, this kind of ritual with a black magic nature is expressly prohibited.

  As the great wizard chanted, the head of the evil spirit on the tray at the feet of the demon **** phantom was reduced to ashes in a burst of blue flames...
