Lord of Hyranza

Chapter 42 41. Ceremony

After the draw was over, three Aboriginal hunters rose from the crowd.

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

The great wizard raised his head, looked at the three indigenous hunters seriously, reached out and dipped a little white powder in the box handed over by the girl Molly, drew strange symbols on the foreheads of the three indigenous hunters, and told them An incomprehensible Aboriginal language.

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

Suldak sat beside He Boqiang and whispered to He Boqiang.

The three indigenous hunters folded their hands, knelt in front of the great wizard, and pressed their foreheads to the feet of the great wizard.

The aboriginal hunters behind them also learned to kneel down, looking at their adoration, as if a god was standing in front of them.

At this time, the swordsman Bacarius, who was sitting in the big wooden house, said to the warriors:
"We're going to attend one of their ceremonies later, you guys take care not to do anything rude during the ceremony."

His eyes were very stern, especially when he looked at Augustus. Just when he was talking to the great wizard, Augustus was sitting below and looking around, looking very impolite.

Hearing Swordsman Bacarie say that, although Augustus seemed very respectful, he still showed an expression of indifference.

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

Swordsman Bacarie didn't explain too much, only said: "You haven't seen that gate of evil spirits, I'm afraid you don't know what kind of terrifying existence it is, and you'll understand it later!"

Augustus shrugged his shoulders, and finally became quiet under the pressure of Swordsman Bacarie.

……

The only stone-built building in the indigenous village is this circular altar.

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 imposing building in the village.

"Woooooooo..."

Ten young indigenous people stood under the altar and blew the horn, and the low sound of the horn reverberated in the village. The indigenous people in the village, men and women, young and old, all came out of the wooden house and gathered towards the altar.

However, women accounted for more than [-]% of the total number of indigenous people, and there were many indigenous children. Soon everyone gathered around the altar.

The members of the second team were also standing on the edge of the altar. He Boqiang glanced back. It is estimated that there are hundreds of people in this indigenous village, but the adult indigenous hunters are only a few dozen people who have just drawn lots. In He Boqiang's eyes, here Almost all of the indigenous men are dead.

With the help of the girl Molly, the great wizard Ino Yatila climbed to the altar, a total of ten steps, and the great wizard took two breaks.

The three selected indigenous hunters were behind the great wizard Inoyatila. They were only wearing a pair of crotch leather pants, revealing bronze tendons, and followed the great wizard to the altar.

The great wizard stood on the altar, and the momentum on his body changed instantly. It looked like a different person. It has decreased a lot, and a pair of eyes has become impossible to look directly at.

She raised her crutches in both hands, looked up at the sky, and recited a series of indigenous languages ​​in her mouth.

The three indigenous hunters knelt side by side on the altar, with their hands folded in front of their chests, looking pious and focused.

After the great wizard finished reciting the incantation, a scene that made He Boqiang somewhat unbelievable appeared. It happened to be a sunny afternoon. Since a beam of light fell from the sky, it directly enveloped the great wizard, and then gradually emerged behind the great wizard. A huge phantom appeared. The phantom was a god and demon with a height of seven or eight meters, with two sides, 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, age, and child, knelt down and began to worship their gods.

Only Swordsman Bacarie and the soldiers of the second squad stood abruptly under the stage, looking around blankly.

At the four corners of the altar, there were four face-plate-sized clay pots. At this time, they were already burning silently, and a half-meter-high blue flame burst out from the pot. He Boqiang had a very strong feeling and intuitively told him that the pot was The fire inside is cold.

In view of Swordsman Bacarie's previous warning, the soldiers of the second team all refrained from speaking.

He Boqiang stood under the stage, as if watching a ridiculous magic show.

But his heart was extremely shocked at the moment. Just as the beam of light on the altar fell, there seemed to be some invisible power in the sea of ​​​​spiritual consciousness, and it also pulled him into the void.

At this time, the void formed by the sea of ​​​​spiritual consciousness is no longer only the phantom of his body and the countless stars shrouded by the phantom of his body. A double-faced four-armed demon god suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the phantom of his body. One face bears the negative emotions of fear, destruction, and hatred, and the other face of the idol bears courage, justice, and hope. These are some inner feelings that He Boqiang can't express.

The huge statue stayed in He Boqiang's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness for only one second, and when He Boqiang's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness was about to collapse, the phantom of the demon god actually disappeared, as if it had never happened in the future.

He Boqiang woke up and saw that the body of the great wizard on the altar was shaking at the same time. Inoyatila glanced at He Boqiang in astonishment.

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

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

I 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 carrying a huge stretcher slowly walking out of the woodland. On the stretcher was clearly a The corpse of the evil ghost. The indigenous hunter lifted the corpse of the evil ghost to the altar step by step. The head of the evil ghost had already been cut off by a sharp weapon, and was placed in front of the corpse's chest.

Immediately behind, four other indigenous hunters carried a demon body, and three consecutive demon bodies were carried to the altar.

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

At present, this kind of ceremony is only passed down in the hands of some indigenous great witches. In the Green Empire, this kind of ceremony with the nature of black magic is expressly forbidden.

As the great wizard chanted words, the head of the evil spirit in the tray at the foot of the demon god phantom turned to ashes in a blue flame...
