On the poster are four large gilt characters about "Sacrifice to the Gods", and below are portraits of four gods: Rawls, the god of rivers and lakes, Wojin, the goddess of wealth, Sandakol, the god of travel and exploration, and Tymora, the goddess of luck.
We rely on mountains to eat mountains, and water to drink water. Since we live on rain and nettle lakes, there is no problem in offering sacrifices to Rawls. As businessmen, Wojin and Xandakol can certainly pray, and Tymora, who is in charge of luck, can also do it.
Above.
But if you put four gods together to offer sacrifices, aren't you afraid of causing counter-effects?
I glanced at the time and saw that it was today, and the organizer was the Huaihe Merchants Association, the owner of the venue. Well, it was really full of Chinese style.
This is how to complain, but you can still join in the fun, especially Ma Zhe, an old man who has been showing a lack of interest all the way, showing curiosity for the first time.
The celebration was held at the merchant ship docking point of Yuxun Lake. Neither the players nor the NPCs had ever seen such a sacrifice to the gods, so the onlookers simply surrounded the dock into three layers, inside and outside.
By the time Sherlock squeezed in, Watkins and Tymora had already finished their sacrifices, and it was Sandakol's turn next.
I saw a middle-aged man with a big belly, followed by four tall female elves in cheongsam, walking to a pillar covered with red cloth.
After talking nonsense, the four female elves tore away the red cloth, revealing a huge perforated stone pillar.
Then the gale spell released by a mage not far away blew over, driving the surrounding airflow, and a deep sound like a large trumpet came from the hole in the stone pillar.
The previous unveiling ceremony was nonsense enough, but the subsequent development was even more unexpected.
Sherlock had seen Sandakol's temple in the video. The perforated stone pillars inside would emit an ethereal and melodious sound when encountering strong winds. Several of them could even compose a tune when combined according to certain rules.
It doesn't matter that there is only one in front of you, but if you try to imitate it, the sound can be said to be blasphemous.
Sherlock was busy complaining about the Huaihe Merchant Alliance's imitative behavior, but he didn't notice that Ma Zhe, who was standing next to him, suddenly had a serious look on his face.
The next symphony was quite serious. It seemed like a real orchestra was invited. However, he had never been able to appreciate the music. If it weren't for the presence of several beauties playing the violin in the orchestra, he would not have done it.
Can fall asleep.
After offering sacrifices to Sandakol, it was time to go to Korols, the god of rivers and lakes. The process was not much more interesting than before, but the following activities aroused Sherlock's interest.
The Huaihe Merchant Alliance actually held a diving competition. They would release a water magic bat in Yu Xun Lake. Whoever can catch it first will win the final victory, and the prize is a high-rare pet egg.
, or 100,000 gold coins.
Forget the pet eggs, but 100,000 gold coins. He really couldn't refuse this reward. He had the blue frog transformation, so he really wasn't afraid of anyone in the water.
This event finally caused a commotion among the crowd, and players and NPCs who wanted to participate in the competition came out one after another.
Yes, this event is organized by the players themselves, and the Huaihe Merchant Alliance only requires participants to be below level 30 and cannot attack others. As for race, occupation, identity, etc., there are no regulations.
100,000 gold coins is a great temptation for players, and the same is true for most NPCs. Common people in Faerun will never have access to this amount of money in their lives. Even for ordinary professionals, 100,000 gold coins are enough for them.
A lifelong struggle.
But for the Huaihe Merchant Alliance, 100,000 gold coins is really nothing. The symphony orchestra's appearance fee is more than this price, not to mention this perforated stone pillar that was just excavated from the temple.
In the end, thousands of contestants crowded on the edge of the pier and followed the water magic bat into the water.
Mephits are small elemental creatures born from basic elements. Their nature depends on the source of their elements. There are currently known mephits composed of fourteen different elements.
Water Mephistopheles are born in water or rain. They are dexterous creatures with a sense of humor that never fades. Sometimes they will make you laugh, and sometimes they will make you uneasy. You must have enough patience to get along with them.
Big nerves.
Since it is named after water, the water magic bats' ability to move in the water is naturally the same. In the water, their speed can be maintained at about 30 feet per second for a long time. Now they are put into the water two seconds earlier. This time
The gap directly eliminated 95% of the players.
At the front, besides Sherlock in the form of a blue frog, there is also a druid player who has transformed into a fork-tailed weasel, a warlock player who has grown gills and fins, and a warrior NPC who is swimming purely by his own strength.
Although the remaining 46 people still bite them tightly for a short period of time, if there is no secret trick or the like, it will only be a matter of time before they are thrown away.
The facts did not exceed his expectations. In less than five minutes, all the people behind Sherlock had disappeared. Even the warlock who had been following them before chose to give up because he was unable to continue.
Seeing that there were only two competitors left, the three people present began to show their true abilities.
The druid player who transformed into a fork-tailed weasel was the first to attack. The fork-tailed weasel is also an agile creature. It moves at the bottom of the water no slower than the water magic bat. At this time, the two forked tails started to rotate rapidly.
, the body suddenly accelerated and rushed out with the reaction force of the water.
The warrior was not to be outdone, but his changes were much more terrifying, with his skin becoming red, scales covering his limbs, and two horns growing out of his forehead.
This change is somewhat similar to the Dragon Transformation Technique that Sherlock talked about before, but if you observe it yourself, you can find the slight difference between the two. The most obvious one is the horn on the forehead. The dragon's horns don't look like this.
The two of them exerted force one after another, and Sherlock did not hold back. He tore open an acceleration scroll and threw out the tongue curled up in his mouth.
The three red, yellow, and blue beams of light shot straight away, and in a moment they caught up with the water magic bat not far ahead. Two hands and a tongue stretched out and touched the water magic bat's body almost at the same time.
Then there was a flash of white light, and the three of them were teleported to the shore where the celebration was held by a teleportation spell. The game was over at this moment.
The people from the Huaihe Merchant Alliance actually cast a range teleportation spell on a water magic bat, and Sherlock could only sigh at the entrenched atmosphere that this guild displayed all the time.
