Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 304: The Fourth Ladder "The Unpredictable Warlock"

Something like black was surging deep inside Abner.

He felt strange, very strange, unsettling and exciting at the same time.

The black thing surging deep in the heart seems to be the so-called malice.

In fact, Abner had never done anything bad in his decades of life, and he had never had any ill will towards anyone. Until today, he had no other choice, so he chose to lead the other three people in his group to this cave.

In fact, long before the team set out, the old village chief had met him alone.

At that time, he was picking herbs at the door of his house, and the old man came over with a cane.

"Abner."

The old village chief's eyes, which should have been cloudy, revealed an unusual sharpness, and his old and thin hand was placed on Abner's shoulder.

"There is something I need to discuss with you in detail. This matter is between you and me only, and you must not tell anyone else."

Abner hesitated for a while and asked:
"Dear village chief, what is the matter?"

After Abner asked, the village chief's eyes fluttered, and he hesitated meaningfully for a long time, and finally spoke seriously:
"In fact, the people from the Redemption Church will never care about us."

"what?"

Abner was surprised because the village chief's tone was very firm, as if they knew the result without even going to the town to try.

He shook his head and retorted:

"I think we should still believe in the church. If we don't believe in the church, who else can we trust? Apart from praying for the protection of the Lord of Redemption, who else can save us?"

"This is our only choice, Village Chief."

The old village chief shook his head and continued with great certainty:
“Abner, you don’t understand at all, but I often deal with nobles and I probably know that there are completely different things between extraordinary people, so ordinary priests can’t save our village at all.”

Seeing that Abner was still hesitating, he suddenly revealed a shocking piece of information.

"The neighboring village has already gone to the church in the town to pray, but in the end there was no good result. The incompetent priest just let them continue to wait for death..."

When Abner heard this, he felt a sense of desolation and despair deep in his heart.

how could this be?

If the old man were to judge by his own judgment, the Redemption Church would definitely not save them.

But if this is true, what will happen to his wife and daughter? How long will the drought last?
How long can they hold on?
The old village chief paused and sneered, "Moreover, over the years, the church we are familiar with has become more and more shameless. I'm afraid they no longer care about the lives of ordinary people."

Abner immediately said:
"But, if that's the case, what should we do with our village?"

Abner was extremely anxious. He didn't know what to do, but there had to be a solution!
Because he has a wife and daughter at home, if there is no water and food, the survival of the whole family will become a big problem!

Does he really have to take his wife and daughter with him to become bandits?

His heart was cold, but he couldn't think of a better way, so he shouted out loud.

"No, I have to go to the Redemption Church anyway. At least give it a try."

Abner was firm in his attitude. The old village chief sighed, shook his head slowly and said:
"Then go ahead and give it a try. If you succeed, everything will be fine. If you fail, just listen to me and go to this place to find someone."

The old village chief then took out a parchment scroll with a simple map drawn on it. He marked a cave on the map. Others might not be able to find it, but Abner, who was familiar with the wild, definitely could.

Abner felt that the situation was a little strange, and asked cautiously:

"What do you want me to do there?"

"Sacrifice."

The old village chief's voice was like cold ice, which made Abner shudder.

"What did you say?"

The old village chief narrowed his eyes, laughed, and said:
"I will choose three people to go with you. Those three people will either be outsiders or marginal people with no relatives in the village. They are basically unimportant. They will be the 'sacrifices' you carry with you."

The more Abner listened, the wider his eyes widened! It was hard to believe that the ordinary old village chief would do such a thing!
"As for your mission, it is to 'deliver the sacrifice' to the Star Embracing Society..."

"The Star Embracing Club!"

Abner was struck by lightning. Of course he had heard of the name of the Star Embracing Society, and he knew very well that it was a heretical sect that was wanted by the Church of Redemption!
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and shouted, "We can't do this!"

"You know, if we are really colluding with the Star Embrace Society and are found out, we will be hanged!"

The old village chief suddenly chuckled, and then began to dance crazily.

"Hahaha! So what? Going to the gallows means death, but it's better than dying of thirst or starvation! The latter might cause even more pain!"

He suddenly stopped and stared at Abner, who was hesitant but never refused, with a devilish smile.

"Abner, think about your wife and daughter, you know what to do!"

"That's the only right way, Abner, we need you to save everything..."

-

Abner knelt on the ground with red eyes and took a deep breath. It was the first time in his life that he had shown malice towards someone.

The two villagers other than Kano stood there in a daze, completely unaware of what was going on.

"Abner, what are you doing?"

"What is going on here? Where is the person you said could save the village?"

However, Abner completely ignored them and just stared at Kano coldly.

Although he was not very clear about the specific situation, his intuition told him one thing as a hunter: Kano was the person who should be most vigilant.

The stranger named Kano did not give Abner the feeling of a ferocious creature like a tiger or a lion. Instead, he looked like a gigantic monster tens of meters tall slowly passing by...

Completely harmless, yet still eye-catching.

The feeling of being an unshakable giant makes people feel uncomfortable deep down.

Kano looked calmly into the cave, and then heard the hunter Abner yelling as he drew his bow.

"Everyone, get into the cave. Don't run or look back. I'll shoot anyone who dares to run!"

The other two were terrified, but Kano said nothing. In the end, the three of them had to enter the cave under Abner's coercion.

Abner stared at Kano coldly, always on guard to see if the man would fight back.

After walking through the cave, the four came to a huge space. Soon they saw dozens of mysterious people in black robes standing around a secret altar.

The atmosphere was extremely strange, with heavy silence covering everything. Even the slightest sound seemed to be swallowed up.

The mysterious man in black robe at the head nodded slowly and said:

"Very good, your village will be saved."

A man in a black robe came up to the four of them, then turned around and nodded to the mysterious man in black robe who was leading the group.

"Master Priest, that's great. With four new sacrifices, I believe that the star we follow and support will definitely feel very satisfied!"

Four?

Abner was stunned for a moment, then he shouted, "Wait, wait, I'm not a sacrifice!"

"you are not?"

"Hahahahahaha!"

Many people in black robes laughed as if they had heard a very good joke. Abner was stunned and didn't know what to say, while the other two villagers were so scared that one wet his pants and the other knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

Kano didn't say a word from beginning to end, just thinking quietly without saying a word.

He had heard long ago that the Star Embracing Society members now often targeted the lower classes of Syat society, recruiting members and selecting sacrifices from among the poor peasants.

There was a member of the Star Guardian Society that my father met before. He initially claimed to be a fleeing peasant, but later did terrible things to my father.

Now it seems that Kano felt that the old chief of the village should also be a member of the Star Embrace Society.

The terrible evil is constantly spreading among the lower classes of Siat, and various natural and man-made disasters have accelerated the pace of all this. The number of Star Holders is constantly expanding, and the churches have done nothing to effectively curb it.

"Well, a qualitative change, and seven origins, right?"

Kano took a deep breath and didn't feel panicked at all when facing those black-robed men.

In fact, he had already been promoted to the fourth level "Mystical Warlock" a long time ago.

At the time when Sang Bei'er left, Kano had already completed the promotion ceremony.

"Experience the unpredictable nature of fate..."

He didn't like Sang Bei'er at all at first, and didn't even want to accept her. But when he gradually fell in love with Sang Bei'er, he suddenly discovered that she was infertile. In addition, his living conditions were unacceptable to her, and he gradually lost her.

Originally, when Kano completed the promotion ceremony half a year ago, he had no intention of going back to receive the power.

However, Carl would never let go of the "piggy banks" of the Fischer family, so he gave Lillian an oracle, and then through Lillian's sacrifice, he still bestowed the fourth-level sequence power on Kano.

He still couldn't disobey his own orders, nor did he betray his own ideas, and that was enough for Carl.

Even if Kano does not make any contribution, after his death, he can still transfer his spiritual power to Carl.

Sequence power "Unpredictable Warlock".

It is the fourth step on the path to enlightenment.

The image of the "Mysterious Warlock" in the spiritual world is a mysterious man with an unclear face and a strange pendulum in his hand.

Kano's physical fitness increased by 20 and his spiritual strength increased by 180.

At the same time, he gained three completely different extraordinary powers.

They are "Weaving of Fate", "Locks of Destiny" and "Virtual Mirror" respectively.
