Chapter 196 Dark Sacrifice
It wasn't long before the deacon who returned to the temple was dragged in front of Amblen again. He couldn't help slandering the city lord in his heart.
"Mr. Deacon, I have something to ask you for advice. That's why they asked them to invite you. I don't know if they have offended Mr. I hereby apologize to my husband." The deacon was surprised by Amblen's unexpected and pleasant face.
"I dare not do it. It's the villain's duty to answer questions if you have something to ask." I don't know why Angburen suddenly changed his character. The deacon quickly said, "What's the problem? Don't hesitate to ask questions, and the villain knows everything."
But the next moment, he knew why Amburen had such a big change. It's all because he needs to help him avoid the disaster.
A group of people came to the city and captured the invincible city owner under the protection of thousands of city guards and taught him a hard lesson. Although Angburen has strictly ordered the city guards not to leak this matter, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. This matter has been widely spread in the city, and the Dark Holy See also knows a little about it.
"I know what you mean." At this moment, combined with some of Amblen's words, the dark deacon naturally analyzed the context of the matter in his mind. Amblen wanted to successfully complete the "dark sacrifice" ceremony tonight, but he couldn't do it the way he used to, so he found himself.
"Have you figured out anything?" Amblen looked at the dark deacon with expectation.
"Alas!" The dark deacon suddenly sighed and shook his head.
"What, can't there be any way?" Amblen's face instantly turned pale, and he was shaky.
"I didn't say there was no way! Don't worry. I'm just a little touched." The dark deacon shook his head entirely because of his sigh of ignorance about Amblen. Seeing Amblen's such excessive reaction, he knew that Amblem had misunderstood him.
"..." Although I was dissatisfied with the dark deacon's behavior just now, I heard that there was a turning point, and those dissatisfactions had long since disappeared.
"What can you do? Tell me quickly!" Amblen couldn't wait to ask.
"Your excellency, don't be impatient, I'll tell you." The dark deacon did not directly say the solution, "How much do you know about 'dark sacrifice'?"
"I only know now that it is the so-called 'right to go out at night', and I don't know anything else." As Ambulun said, he couldn't help blushing. As a dark bishop, even if it is a registered name, it is a little too humiliating.
"Actually, if you know something about 'dark sacrifice', you won't be so anxious." The dark deacon said, "All this should start from the reason of the 'dark sacrifice' ceremony."
Next, the dark deacon's commentary made Angren temporarily relaxed.
Dark Sacrifice, since the appearance of the Dark Holy See, there has been such a ceremony, which was an extremely sacred ceremony at the beginning of its appearance. Everything about it is not just for women like the current deformed "right to go out at night". It includes all believers in the Dark Holy See, regardless of men and women.
At that time, the followers of the Dark Holy See practiced dark magic. When their strength reached a certain limit, they wanted to gain more power from the gods of faith. They will sacrifice one of their most important things to the gods as sacrifices to improve their strength.
The ceremony of sacrifice is presided over by the dark archbishop or the dark saint. The objects of the ceremony offer different sacrifices. There are not only those who offer rare treasures as sacrifices, but also those who break their arms as sacrifices, and those who disfigure their faces as sacrifices. There are also those who offer ** to pass After the ceremony.
The selection of objects in the dark sacrifice ceremony is extremely strict, and the scope involved is also very small. Without the corresponding strength, it is not qualified to participate in the ceremony at all. And the believers who passed the ceremony became high-ranking figures of the Dark Holy See without exception. At that time, the dark sacrificial ceremony, as the most sacred ceremony in the dark Holy See, was unavailable to every believer. As long as there was a trace of possibility of participating in the ceremony, they were willing to give everything for it.
In the end, the dark sacrificial ceremony was stopped more than 700 years ago, when the dark saint at that time forcibly abolished this completely unidentified ceremony. The senior level of the dark Holy See, who has been at peace all year round, is no longer the believers who fought and even died for faith at the beginning of the establishment of the Holy See. They have long been corrupted by the comfortable and luxurious life, and the dark sacrifice ceremony has become a tool for them to play with female believers. For this reason, the deteriorated ceremony was completely abolished, and this decision was firmly supported by the lower believers.
Now that I think about it, it must be that the dark saint at that time was too strong. In order to eliminate the saint on their heads, the suppressed dark archbishop forces designed to attack the saint, which led to the mysterious disappearance of the saint.
The more the dark deacon thought about this, the more certain it became. After the dark saint mysteriously disappeared, the dark sacrificial ceremony quickly returned, which made him more convinced of his judgment. In the following hundreds of years, dark sacrifices not only carried out blatantly among believers, but also relied on the power of the dark Holy See in the Kingdom of the Empire to attack those who believed in other religions.
The famous bishop in front of him is such a guy who pretends to be a tiger. In the past two years, he has done everything in the mysterious city in the name of the Holy See, and the dark deacon is clear. However, due to the existence of a series of transactions between the upper level of the Holy See and the Kilroy family, we can only watch Ambulun harm the believers of the underworld. Even if he couldn't see it anymore, he had to put up with it.
After some explanation, Ambulun naturally understood the meaning of the dark deacon's words.
"Sir means that the sacrifices in the dark sacrifice are not fixed." After listening to the history of the dark sacrifice ceremony, Ambulen was finally relieved.
"Yes, in fact, any sacrifice in the real dark sacrifice ceremony doesn't matter. What matters is the pious heart." The dark deacon devoted all his life to the study of the Dark Holy See, so he has a deep understanding of the various rituals of the Dark Holy See.
"Now I know that there are not many people who can improve their strength through dark sacrifices. I really want to see that lady. However, her wish must have failed. The dark deacon sighed. Over the years, due to the loss of faith, the Dark Holy See has been worse year by year. In the past, only the dark archbishops and the dark saints could really preside over the dark sacrifices, but now the archbishops and saints are not qualified to preside over them.
"Please teach me how to preside over the ceremony." Amblen was not annoyed by the words of the dark deacon. Since he heard that only the dark archbishop and the dark saint are qualified to preside over the dark sacrifice in the past, he naturally will not be arrogant enough to think that he can compare with the archbishop and the saint. Now, as long as he can learn to look like a figure and walk through the motions, he won't expect it whether he can succeed or not.
Thinking that the sacred ceremony had fallen to such a point, the dark deacon couldn't help sighing in his heart.
"Okay, Bishop, please step back. Let's start now." He sighed that he would still do what Ambleun told him.
"You all retreat. You can't come in without my call." All the men retreated, and only the two of them were left in the hall.
"Your Excellency, the first thing to pay attention to when presiding over this ceremony is..."
The dark deacon conscientiously taught Amblen the steps of presiding over the ceremony one by one, and Amblen took one thing so seriously for the first time since he became sensible.
Time quickly passes in teaching.
There was a knock on the door.
"What's the matter! I didn't say, don't disturb us." Amblen frowned and said angrily.
"My lord, it's getting late. It's already dusk. Shouldn't you have dinner? The voice of the dog-headed sjunshi came from the door.
"The whole process of the ceremony has been mastered, and it's time to eat. Otherwise, no matter how proficient you master the process of the evening ceremony, you can't complete it smoothly. After all, physical strength is also very important to preside over the ceremony. Seeing Ambulun's unhesitant expression, the dark deacon persuaded him.
"Then I'll go. Will you go with me, sir?" Ambron made an invitation to the deacon.
"No, I'll go back to the Holy See to prepare the utensils to preside over the ceremony for the adults." The Dark Deacon refused his invitation.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you, sir." The dark deacon helped him a lot, and his attitude was surprisingly polite.
The bistro was brightly lit. Ling Hao and his party sat around, enjoying the delicious food provided by the boss, talking and laughing, waiting for Amblen to deliver it to him.
"Why haven't you come yet? Will the coward escape again?" Nia asked, it had been an hour and a half after dinner, and Amblen hadn't appeared yet, and everyone couldn't help making a little noise.
Since knowing about this plan, the girls have shown much more interest than boys. They made suggestions one after another to make the plan more "evil". Now that Amblen has not been hooked for a long time, they are even more impatient.
"Don't worry, he can't know what our plan is. After being warned by me, he didn't have the courage to take the risk of escaping from Xuanming City. Ling Hao took a sip of the tea in his hand. After the temporary bitterness, his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, and the aftertaste was endless. Originally, he liked to taste tea, but he didn't expect that there would be such a best tea in the alien world, which immediately surprised him. Unfortunately, tea is not popular in the magic continent, so almost no one produces it. Its output is extremely low, and the output of the whole continent is only about ten catties a year.
"What's more, there is a mirror split placed by Eliza outside the city owner's mansion. Although it can't take action, it's more than enough to deter that guy." After being reminded by Ling Hao, Eliza arranged a mirror split around the city owner's mansion. Although they have no attack power, they can play an excellent role in intimidation and surveillance with the wind system's photo technique. With those splits, they can grasp Amblen's movements at any time.
"They should be here soon!" Alisa suddenly whispered. She saw from the photo-taking technique uploaded from the split that Ambulun had walked out of the city master's mansion with his subordinates. According to the delay of the magic transmission, Ambulun should have been outside the tavern.
