What era is it, still traditional card making
Chapter 916 Sacrifice Ceremony
Old Tyr sighed deeply, then continued:
"You should have seen it, right? The price of food in the city is skyrocketing. In addition to the fact that the royal family has bought up a large amount of food in the city, it's mainly because we locals don't trust our king at all."
"Well, it's similar to what we saw on the road. But old Tyr, this matter is not that dangerous, right? We have no intention of intervening in this matter, and we have not affected Max's money-making. Why would he bother us for no reason? For the bounty of the wanted order?"
Old Tyr rolled his eyes at the witch in front of him, then replied:
"No matter how short-sighted Max is, he won't be so short-sighted as to offend a legendary witch for a mere 100 gold coins."
"Correction, the latest news is that my bounty has reached 500 gold coins."
"Then I'll report it?"
"No, I'm just saying this, please continue."
Old Tyer took the wine glass on the front desk and took a gulp before continuing:
"I have talked to several acquaintances, and they all agree that Max is not just trying to make money this time."
"If it's not for the purpose of making money? Then why do you have to go to such lengths?"
"He has to complete a ritual, a ritual of ascension to godhood."
When Kelly heard this, she cursed subconsciously:
"Another P?"
"Deng P?"
"Oh, I heard this from a friend. It means someone who is willing to pay any price to reach the realm of God."
Upon hearing this, Old Tyr nodded and replied in agreement:
"That's a pretty accurate description. Max is just that kind of person."
Kelly looked puzzled, and then expressed her doubts:
"I can understand the idea of ascending to the god level. There are countless ambitious guys like this on the Tucker Continent. But what I don't understand is that Max's strength is probably only at the gold level, right? I don't think there is any ritual that can forcibly elevate a gold-level demon to the god level.
Even if Max is so stupid, he should be able to realize this, right?
If one wants to ascend to godhood, he must at least reach the Saint Realm level. If he does not reach this threshold, he does not even have the rudiments of the law, so how can he ascend to godhood?"
Old Tyr shrugged and replied:
"Who knows? If I could understand that guy's mind, I would have been hacked to death by now."
"Old Tyr, tell me, how did you find out that Max was trying to become a god?"
"Isn't it obvious? Go around the city and see if there are guys in black robes wandering around, and if they are writing special symbols on the ground with special quills.
Damn it, does Max really think we are fools? The ritual is so obvious, he is really afraid that others don't know that he intends to use the entire city as a sacrifice. "
"You mean, Max intends to use the entire city's demons as sacrifices in exchange for his qualification to become a god?"
"This is just our speculation. This ceremony is so grand that we can't think of any other possibility other than to become a god."
"Why don't you run away then?"
Old Tyr rolled his eyes at Kelly and replied:
"Didn't I tell you to run away?"
"No, they are preparing for the ceremony and are planning to use you as sacrifices. Do you still plan to stay here?"
"Run? Where can we run to? Besides, he wants to use us as sacrifices, so can we just be sacrifices obediently? Kelly, we are not stupid. If there is no way to deal with it, how could we choose to stay here?"
Kelly hesitated, and after a moment of silence, she finally chose to speak:
"Is there anything I can do? After all, we've known each other for so many years..."
"No need, just wish me good luck and get out of here."
Seeing that Old Tyr was so determined, Kelly had no choice but to leave the tavern with Ye Qiong and Adas.
After coming outside, Ye Qiong looked forward and found some guys in black robes running around in the city.
The black robes they wore were engraved with special magic spells that could conceal their tracks. It would be impossible for demons below the Gold Realm to find them.
After seeing this scene, Ye Qiong couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really arrogant."
Max's move was clearly telling the strong men in Glowing City that they should either leave here quickly to avoid becoming sacrifices, or join them.
Apart from this, if you choose the third option, then I’m sorry, you can only die obediently.
From Max's attitude, it can be seen that he is very confident that this ceremony will not be disrupted by anyone.
This situation would be fine if Max was just an arrogant guy who thought everyone else would do what he wanted and didn't actually have any cards up his sleeve, but what if the reality was the opposite?
The reason why Max is so confident is that he has a trump card in his hand that can kill everything in seconds with just one play?
It would be a bit dangerous for them to continue staying here.
Ye Qiong looked towards Kelly. He saw the confusion in the witch's eyes, so he took the initiative to ask:
"What are you going to do?"
Kelly was silent and did not respond immediately.
"Are you acquainted with the tavern owner?"
Kelly nodded subconsciously, and then replied:
"Well, we have known each other for decades."
Hearing this, Ye Qiong just nodded silently to show that he understood, and then walked to the front of the team.
"In that case, there is nothing to hesitate about, right?"
Ye Qiong knew why Kelly was so conflicted. If the adventure team only consisted of her and Aidas, then Kelly would definitely stay without hesitation. But now, the adventure team had three people, and she needed to wait for Ye Qiong's answer before she could make a decision.
Ye Qiong's answer was quite simple. If you want to save her, then go ahead and save her.
He is not the kind of guy who only thinks about himself. He will not only take his own affairs seriously and regard other people's affairs as troubles. Kelly has helped him so much, so he should give something in return.
Adas followed decisively. Seeing that Kelly had not moved, he turned back to look at her and asked:
"What? Aren't you leaving yet?"
Kelly sighed deeply and followed. Although they decided to intervene in this matter, they actually had no idea.
Judging from the current situation, all the blame is directed at Max, the king of the Moss Kingdom. They only need to deal with the source of the incident, and the incident will be almost over.
Although the matter was simple, they couldn't just run straight to the palace and shout:
"Where is Max? I'm here to kill you!"
Although Ye Qiong really wanted to assassinate this short-sighted king in an open and dignified manner, considering that there might be quite a few masters in the royal family, they might end up being killed if they rushed in rashly, so they needed to find a more comprehensive method.
The first thing to do is to collect intelligence and find out how powerful the royal family is. If the strength of the three of them can directly crush them, then they can directly destroy the royal family and end this ceremony.
To figure this out, they actually have a simpler way.
At this time, under the leadership of Ye Qiong, they came to an empty street.
Kelly was quite smart. After taking a look around, she immediately understood what Ye Qiong wanted to do:
"You want to obtain information about Max through prayer?"
"Well, this is the simplest method, isn't it? If it's just to collect intelligence, the amount of star power required is not that much. This is the most convenient and quickest method."
After saying this, he began to use the prayer technique.
The wish Ye Qiong made was quite simple.
I want to know how strong the royal family members are.
Soon, he could feel that the star power in his body began to gradually dissipate. The star power required to realize this wish was not particularly much. After the wish was fulfilled, he felt that almost no star power in his body was lost.
"Not even one Legendary Realm? The strongest person in the royal family is at the Saint Realm?"
Kelly heard this, nodded slightly, and then replied:
"I know the same thing as before. The overall strength of the royal family of the Kingdom of Moss is not that high. I remember that this Saint Realm person is the younger brother of the previous king. He is probably over a hundred years old this year."
Hearing this, Edas interrupted at the right time:
"So we should just run over them?"
Kelly shook her head and replied:
"Maybe there are other external aids? If there is only one Saint Realm, would Max really dare to perform such a sacrifice ceremony?"
Ye Qiong nodded to show that he understood and made another wish. This time he hoped that there would be many people standing on Max's side.
This time, the star power consumed to realize his wish was a little more than the previous one, which consumed about one tenth of the star power in his body.
Soon, he saw a piece of text appear in front of him, which recorded a list in detail.
"Local nobles, and some foreign demons? There's not even one Saint Realm?"
Ye Qiong was shocked when he saw the list. He felt that making this wish for this matter was a bit like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
With this lineup, Kelly alone is enough to defeat the entire kingdom. There is no need for the three of them to take action.
Kelly was also a little stunned at this time. She subconsciously opened her mouth and said "Ah"?
"Is there really only one Sanctuary? Old Tyr was already in the Sanctuary ten years ago. Add to that some witches from the Revolutionary Army. It's amazing that they dared to come up with a sacrificial ceremony covering the entire city."
Kelly originally thought that Max must have some reason to do this.
For example, if there are immortals in the royal family, or if there are strong outsiders joining the royal family, Max dares to arrange sacrificial ceremonies around the city so blatantly.
But the current situation seems to be different from what she imagined.
It seems that Max is a real loser. He has no one to rely on at all. He is a complete idiot.
Edas was silent for a while, then he spoke:
“Are there really such stupid people in the world?”
Kelly also remained silent and did not speak immediately.
Ye Qiong thought for a while, then said:
"Just in case, let me confirm the sacrificial ceremony. Given their level, the sacrificial ceremony they set up should not be very good. The star power required for the prayer is probably very little."
After that, he began to use the wishing technique and made his third wish.
He originally thought that this time the situation should be similar to the previous two wishes, and that he could realize this wish by consuming a little star power.
But he soon discovered something was wrong.
He did not consume any star power, even though he had already used the prayer technique.
Having used the prayer technique so many times before, he naturally knew why this happened.
The star power in his body was not enough to fulfill this wish, so the prayer failed.
Although Ye Qiong did not have much star power in his body, he should be able to obtain information about the ritual arranged by the Golden Realm Demon Clan in this mere Holy Land through prayer.
But now, the prayer has failed?
Obviously, this ritual is not simple, so the star power in his body is not enough to realize this wish.
Kelly noticed Ye Qiong's abnormality and asked:
"What's wrong? Didn't your wish come true?"
Ye Qiong shook his head and replied:
"If it fails, this ritual may not be simple."
Kelly had previously found dozens of witches to transfer their star power to her. If this level of star power was not enough to obtain information about the ritual,
Then this ceremony was most likely arranged by a demigod or even stronger being, which is why he was unable to fulfill his wish.
If you put it this way, everything makes sense.
No wonder Max dared to do this, it turns out his confidence lies in this ceremony.
After hearing Ye Qiong's words, Kelly's expression became much more serious, and her eyes unconsciously drifted towards the city gate.
Although they were far apart, she could still feel the magic flowing through the city gate.
The ceremony may have been arranged long ago, but Max may be waiting for something at the moment, so he has not started the ceremony yet.
Edas lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked:
"The overall strength of the Moss Kingdom is not that strong. How about we kill them in advance before the ceremony starts?"
Ye Qiong had actually considered this plan. With their current strength, they could completely overthrow the entire royal family.
But after thinking about it, he rejected this plan, because simply overthrowing the royal family might not solve the problem at all. (End of this chapter)
