The appearance of the monk quickly attracted the attention of the villagers of Bogus Village. After a report from a caring person, the old village chief, who was already over seventy years old, led the young adults and hunters in the village to come out with weapons and watched the intruders vigilantly.
.
Noticing that her father was gesturing to her in a bit of panic, Kesha, who was a little frightened, ran back to her father and grabbed her sleeves as if she was being pardoned. She was immediately hugged and comforted by the man gently.
"Binsqi, these people didn't do anything to you, right?"
After regaining some composure, Kesha shook her head and whispered in a low voice.
"He, he asked me to go over, but, I listened to my father and didn't go over. I don't know him."
"That's good."
Kassadin breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely grateful that he had taught his daughter to stay away from strangers since she was a child.
Malzahar watched the scene of the father-daughter reunion with soft eyes, with some nostalgia and regret in his eyes.
What he misses is that his father Birrell also gave him such a warm hug. Unfortunately, his father was upright and innocent throughout his life and was charitable, but after his death he ended up being despised and despised by everyone.
The body of his father Birrell was finally buried by himself and the lame old Peter...
Looking back at Old Peter, who had followed him into the world of peace and happiness, Malzahar became even more convinced that the world needed a great redemption.
People in this world have never had happiness. The earth is full of violence. People dominated by desires and evil thoughts suffer all day long, struggling in the whirlpool of suffering. There is no comfort or hope. From birth to death, there is no relief.
Even if I get happiness by chance, it is just a short-lived and false illusion. I don’t know where to go to find the eternal and peaceful land of Canaan.
Therefore, the world needs a shepherd to guide the lambs, a true knower who can tell the ignorant lambs where to go to find peace.
Only emptiness, only emptiness is the only savior of this corrupt world!
"Woe to you, fellow villagers of Bogus Village!"
The sudden hoarse voice was extremely harsh, like a sleepless night owl in the cemetery, but the restless mood was more dazzling than the blazing sun. It was Peter, the first apostle under the prophet's command, who spoke.
"The spirit of the earth has told the Holy Prophet about the sins you have committed. Listen, it is the roar coming from the depths of the abyss. If you don't repent, the angry spirit of the earth will swallow up everything in Bogus Village!"
As if to confirm Peter's words, loud noises came from the rock valley not far away, and the earth seemed to have its own consciousness, expressing its anger through tremors.
The shock under their feet and the loud noise in their ears proved that what the speaker said was true. All the villagers turned pale in an instant and became confused.
When had the villagers living in Bogus Village experienced such a terrible natural disaster? At this moment, even the village chief could not help but begin to believe that the villagers of Bogus Village had provoked the spirits of the earth and caused the disaster.
"Put down your weapons! Lord Prophet! Lord Prophet! Please save us! Have mercy on us!
How should we repent! How should we atone for our sins?”
The village chief took the lead and knelt down to the monks. The other villagers did not dare to neglect and knelt down one after another. Only Kassadin, who knew the true face of the cultists, gritted his teeth and took Kesha's little hand and ran towards his home. Only this unsociable person
I don't know how many villagers he offended by his actions.
Watching Kassadin hug Kesha and run away, Malzahar whispered without sadness or joy.
"My children, only by offering sacrifices, only by offering enough sacrifices to the angry earth spirit, can the anger of the earth spirit be appeased. First-born young animals and newly adult female animals are the best, fresh fruits and melons
Vegetables come second, offer your repentance to the spirit of the earth deep in the rock valley, and the disaster will be far away from Bogus Village."
Hearing this, the village chief raised his head and ordered sternly.
"Now that Bogus Village is in trouble, every family must do their best to tide over this disaster together. One family at a time, those with livestock will provide livestock, those without livestock will provide money, and those without money will provide people. Listen to the words of the prophet, disaster will
It will definitely stay away from us!”
"What about the Cassadines? Don't they have to do anything?"
One villager mentioned something, and before more villagers showed strange expressions, the village chief suppressed it with a livid face.
"He can lead those adventure teams to live in the village and spend money, can you? Stop talking nonsense! You have an extra beast in your family!"
Since then, Kassadin's kindness to the village chief has been exhausted.
"We can't wait any longer, we have to get out of here right away! Leave now!"
Kassadin put down Kesha who was stunned and found Samana who was marinating mutton cubes.
"Why are you still hanging around! Bring more water, dry food and bacon to eat on the road! I'll bring the money! We'll set off in ten minutes!"
Samanna was startled by her helpless husband. She had never seen Kassadin so glum.
"Are you in such a hurry? How much preparation can you make in ten minutes?"
“Prepare as much as you can!”
Kassadin's eyes were red and his voice was trembling as he stared at his wife.
"Listen, Samanna! The gods worshiped by the Doomsday Prophet will never be satisfied with the sacrifices produced by the village. By then, the entire village will become a sacrifice for the Prophet! These are the Noxian adventure team
The secret the steward told me,
Prophet Malzahar, he worships an evil god who is never satisfied!
I originally thought they would not come to such a remote place, but now it seems that they are also affected by Azir.
Don’t take any chances! If you don’t want our family to die here, just do it quickly!”
After giving instructions to his wife, Kassadin didn't even have time to comfort his daughter, so he went to the basement to open the cash box and packed all his belongings in the animal skin backpack he had prepared in advance. Kassadin breathed a sigh of relief.
With this batch of food and money, as long as he is careful, he can take his wife and daughter to the Marrow Seal Market and catch a ride on the Noxus Empire's convoy. By then, his safety will be guaranteed.
The couple hurriedly packed their luggage. Before leaving, Kassadin, who had extensive experience in traveling, carefully checked it again. After confirming that only part of the food was missing, he felt relieved and relied on his and his wife's hunting skills.
Making up for this shortfall during the trip is not a problem.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When everything was ready, Kassadin took his wife and daughter and led a Scarash and left the village away from the rock valley.
Kassadin didn't know that his actions had been watched by the Void Apostles from the beginning.
"Prophet, someone is trying to escape from the village. Do you want to stop them?"
Sitting cross-legged under the blazing sun outside the village, Malzahar opened his eyes, but his sight was not directed to the Bogus Village in front of him.
What appeared before him was the former Amakra,
If lame old Peter hadn't called him a 'prophet', would he never have understood the responsibility he had in this world?
"Andre, the end of the world is void, but before reaching the void, everyone has his or her own destiny.
What we need to do as shepherds is to guide them right,
Since destiny has already made its own changes, we don't need to interfere any more."
Andre bowed his head respectfully.
"Prophet, I understand,"
After Kassadin and his family safely left Bogus Village, more than thirty sacrificial herds consisting of Sand Sheep and Scarash were driven toward the Rock Valley by the shepherds of Bogus Village. Under the instructions of the Void Cultist
Down, he stopped in a bare depression.
"Sir, the sacrifice has been brought."
Sensing the unusual and strange aura exuding from Iwatani, the shepherd asked in a trembling voice.
"can I go now?"
Glancing at the shepherd with pity, the void cultist nodded, took out a dagger covered with dark purple crystal clusters, and watched the shepherd escape from him as if he was being amnesty.
"Something's wrong, Iwatani shouldn't be like this, Iwatani shouldn't be like this..."
The panting shepherd recalled the scenes along the way, a look of fear appeared on his face, and he walked faster.
He was very familiar with the environment of Iwa Valley, but walking in this grazing land now felt particularly strange.
I don’t know since when, the dark brown rock walls were covered with unknown purple vines. The huge bluestone that could withstand the erosion of wind and sand was split into several pieces. Some strange and monster-looking things grew in the rock piles that went against common sense.
purple plant,
There is no life in the rock valley, but broken animal bones can be seen everywhere. Every broken bone seems to have been ground up and swallowed by some kind of creature with fangs. The purple-red bushes
, the ugly flowers with clear features like human faces moved automatically without wind, and the rotten eyes like fish bubbles seemed to be staring at themselves greedily.
Suddenly, the shepherd had a strange feeling that the other party was going to eat him.
The shepherd did not dare to look at the ugly plants staring at him anymore. He gritted his teeth and quickened his pace. However, there was a crawling sound among the purple rocks, which made his scalp numb.
"What the hell?"
The shepherd was not given much time. The rocks exposed on the surface in front of the mountain road were broken one by one, revealing bottomless holes.
A dozen ethereal larvae, as big as sand sheep, crawled out of the hole. Their beetle-like body structures were completely alienated by the void, turning them into deadly killing machines.
The chitinous dark purple carapace is covered with ferocious barbs, the foreleg as sharp as a sickle is as flexible as two swinging tentacles, and the tubular mouthparts tirelessly chew the hard sand and stones.
The legs are short and powerful, giving the monster a terrifying speed that ignores the terrain.
The moment he saw the monster's mouthparts, the shepherd understood what kind of terrifying monster it was that had swallowed those poor sand sheep into its belly.
"monster!
"
Facing the evil creatures from hell, the shepherd could no longer maintain his rationality and screamed and retreated. Only when he turned around did he realize in despair that there were also these monsters behind him.
Seeing the shepherd paralyzed and trembling on the ground, the ethereal larvae slowed down and slowly surrounded the shepherd. Their fat compound eyes reflected the light of banter, like an old hunter playing with his prey.
"These ghosts are intelligent... Oh my God! This is the void monster of Icathia! I have to tell others this terrible news!"
Getting up from the ground again, the shepherd gritted his teeth and climbed towards the side of the mountain wall. The too steep mountain wall made all the shepherd's struggles in vain.
"There is no need to escape, we are all citizens of the void, open your arms and embrace the void with us."
The shepherd turned around in despair and saw that the monk who had accompanied him had taken off all his robes, revealing his true form. His pale purple skin was squirming irregularly as if it were alive, and there were dots of blood scattered on his skin.
The syncope vesicles of patients with trypophobia, the important organ that represents gender characteristics, split into four petals, tightly wrapped around the two dark purple tentacles of the centipede, and constantly squirmed and stretched.
The monk stood firmly on top of a strange centipede-like insect, his eyes reflected purple light, and his inhuman face was full of joy.
"Join us, escape the sea of suffering, and enjoy eternal peace together."
"Why are you doing this!? Do you know how much effort the Ascended Ones put in to seal these damn monsters?"
Knowing that he was bound to die, the shepherd calmed down despite his anger.
"I understand, the earthquake is also caused by these void monsters. From the beginning, the objects of sacrifice you mentioned are these ugly and disgusting monsters. What are you trying to do?"
"These monsters will only destroy everything. Is the peace you talk about becoming the bait for these monsters?"
"You are wrong, we are not bait. If we are eaten by the virtual spirit, we will become a part of the virtual spirit, coexist with the virtual spirit forever, and gain eternal satisfaction and peace."
The monk grinned, revealing a pair of purple-brown fangs that were comparable to shark fangs.
“I have felt hunger, I have worked all day and never rested, but the fruits of the earth belong to my master,
Because of hunger, I stole a piece of stinky wheat cake that my master had thrown away. I was discovered by other slaves. They reported it to the master, and he locked me in the cellar. For a whole week, the only food I had was Scarash's.
excrement and the maggots crawling around it,
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Do you know what it feels like to be extremely hungry? You will want to eat your own meat!
It was the prophet who saved me, saved me from hunger, allowed me to eat my master with my own mouth, and ate the slaves who did not dare to resist their master. In the empty world, I even found my lover."
The monk looked down at the ethereal centipede at his feet lovingly, as if sensing the monk's hot emotions, the tentacles of the ethereal centipede secreted a greasy purple juice.
After understanding who the monk's love interest was, the shepherd covered his mouth and felt nauseated, almost vomiting out.
The monk smiled nonchalantly.
"Ignorant and foolish mortals always tie themselves into small gaps and refuse to accept things beyond their cognition. If I didn't experience the beauty of embracing the void, how could I serve the prophet willingly?
Of course it is because of satisfaction. After embracing the void, I understand what satisfaction is. I no longer worry about survival or satisfying my own selfish desires, because all my wishes can be easily realized and I can find them here. Everything I agree with,
Void has given me so much happiness, the only thing I can do is to follow the prophet and let more people understand the beauty of void."
Not wanting to continue talking to the madman, the shepherd closed his eyes.
"Let your monster eat me."
The ethereal centipede swallowed the shepherd in one gulp and shrank back into the pit.
"In the embrace of the void, death is not the end, but a new beginning."
The monk smiled slightly, put on his robe again, and walked out of the rock valley amid the tide of ethereal larvae.
More people will be chosen by the Queen, and there will be more and more powerful travelers. He can't wait to witness this great miracle.
