On the morning of the fourth day, the Dark Queen summoned all the powerful dark mages and fallen knights in the temple to come to her throne.
A huge flow of people poured into the temple one after another. This was the first time Leos saw that there were so many people in this dark temple.
Because everyone is busy with their own practice and doing their own things almost every day, there is little communication with each other, and naturally they do not get together.
But today, there were 3,000 people who came to this temple, occupying less than half of this huge temple.
In the temple surrounded by crowds, a gorgeous throne stood alone.
The woman on the throne was still lying on her side, but her face seemed to be much younger, and she was ogling Leos who was standing next to him from time to time.
Then, she announced a decision that shocked everyone.
"Today! Let everyone come here to inform you of important news."
Upon hearing these words, the noisy temple suddenly became quiet.
The voice of Dark Queen Reili seemed to penetrate everyone's soul in an instant, and was extremely shocking.
Let all these people succumb to her powerful power.
"I decided to make a dark sacrifice for Leos!"
"Dark Sacrifice!! Oh my god!!" For a moment, the crowd under the throne seemed to explode, and everyone turned their attention to the young man beside the throne.
Dark sacrifice, this is the highest honor in the entire dark world.
Except for the person who is about to take over the throne, no one has ever enjoyed this kind of treatment, and now this boy, who has only been here for two years, is actually qualified to enjoy the Dark Sacrifice.
This had to make some of the great magicians and knights who had lived here for decades and worked for the Queen feel dissatisfied, and a small number of them cast a look of hatred at Leos.
Even Sturmond opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that this was the decision made by the Queen.
Although he knew that the queen was very satisfied with Leos and even loved him crazily, but was this reward too big?
Dark sacrifice, the highest honor in the dark world, requires placing the sacrifice into the dark magic circle, and then three hundred magicians inject dark mana into the magic circle to start the sacrifice ceremony.
The cost of this kind of sacrifice is huge, and the sacrifices required are also the most demanding.
Usually they are the hearts of some big devils or the heads of thousand-year-old monsters.
Although there is no shortage of these things in the Grudge Forest, even Sturmond is not completely sure of defeating those powerful monsters.
This requires the use of a large number of troops to achieve.
But now the queen has actually made such a big sacrifice for a young boy. What is she doing for this?
Is it to tarnish the pure talent that Goddess Femia left on Leos' body?
For a moment, Sturmond's mind was in chaos and he could not think properly.
Reili stared at the crowd under the throne for a moment, then yawned loudly and stood up and walked to Leos' side.
"From today on, Leos is my favorite student. All his powers will go through my personal guidance. Therefore, when you see him in the future, just like you see me, you must obey him sincerely and respect him respectfully."
Treat, you know?" Reilly said in an extremely harsh tone.
No one dares to resist what the Queen of Darkness says. As long as this woman moves her little finger, anyone who has objections will die.
Because this woman is too powerful.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. No one dared to raise any objections and could only accept the facts by default.
The queen glanced at the crowd with satisfaction, and then said: "Three days later, a sacrifice will be held in the Grudge Square! You go and prepare the sacrifice! Remember! It must be of the best quality!" Reili warned.
After receiving the order, everyone exited the temple one by one, with a shadow cast on everyone's face.
After working so hard for so many years, I am not as good as a handsome boy.
Several old mages couldn't help but sigh, it's really the world of young people now, they can make a living just by looking good. If they were decades younger, wouldn't it be... Hey! Time is not forgiving!!
In the following time, the entire Dark Temple became busy.
Large numbers of armies and soldiers began to swarm into the Cursed Forest and carry out large-scale hunting.
Each ferocious monster had its head cut off and its heart dug out.
The queen even opened a teleportation gate for her army and sent them into the hell plane to hunt demons.
And she herself took the lead, constantly activating the huge dark energy in her petite body to knock down the big devils one after another.
After three days of fighting, the queen obtained rich spoils.
There are many precious sacrifices such as the hearts of great devils and the heads of thousand-year-old monsters.
These things can be sold for millions of gold coins in the market. However, because these things are too precious, no one will sell the hard-earned things for the money.
If used in some large-scale festivals, these sacrifices can be enough to exchange for very large divine favors.
These days, Leos goes in and out of the queen's palace every night, almost moving his family there.
And almost every night, the queen's moans of contentment could be heard in the room.
Leos may be the only man in the world who can satisfy Leili.
His unique fighting spirit concentration skill has made Leili try it every time.
Unknowingly, Reili, the queen of the dark world, had completely surrendered to Leos' crotch and developed a serious sense of dependence on him.
Even in front of everyone, Dark Queen Reili would throw herself into Leos' arms without any scruples and kiss his neck and chest.
In three days, the Dark Festival is about to begin.
A large number of guards carried the sacrifices to the altar in the center of the Grudge Square.
This extremely large square occupies a large area in the Dark Temple area.
The circular square is a big magic circle.
Within the circle, a five-pointed star pattern is drawn, and the five corners of the five-pointed star are connected to the circular formation.
The altar is located in the middle of the five-pointed star.
At this time, a large number of magicians had already poured into the magic circle and stood at the edge of the circular magic circle.
Then came the second and third floors, where 300 dark magicians divided the circular magic array into three levels of stations.
The closer the magician is to the altar, the stronger the magic power becomes, as if the power of others is gathered little by little, and finally they activate the spiritual manifestation of the dark god.
As the time approached, Dark Queen Reili and Leos slowly walked out of the temple.
The queen stood next to the altar in the center of the circular magic circle, and Leos stood opposite the altar.
The translucent black stone platform exuded a faint dark power, and this power made Leos feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
A trace of black mist floated on the stone platform, like a big mouth waiting for sacrifices.
Several teams of dark knights carried the three large boxes of sacrifices over, placed them on the edge of the altar, then turned around and stood outside the magic circle.
"Leos! When the ceremony starts later, the Dark God will appear on the altar. You will have to put the sacrifices on the altar with your own hands. This will stimulate the Dark God's grace towards you! But remember! You can't do anything to you.
It has a trace of doubt because it can feel it." Reili placed her little hand on Leos's broad chest and stroked it gently, trying to soothe Leos' nervous heart.
Leos nodded and stood facing the altar.
Following Reilly's signal, the magicians standing on the outside edge of the magic circle began to recite spells.
Leos couldn't understand a single word of the spells that sounded behind him. It was like a language that had never appeared in this world, making it difficult to understand.
As the mantra was recited, the outermost circular array suddenly began to flash bright red light.
The bursts of red light flickered on and off, becoming more intense as the spell progressed, as if they were burning fire in hell, emitting bursts of fierce red light.
When the first layer of spells ended, the circular magic circle was completely lit up.
Then the mages on the second floor began to recite incantations, and gradually, the pentagonal pattern began to flash red and became more and more prosperous.
Then in the third update, the magician closest to the altar recited a spell. After a ten-minute activation ceremony, the entire magic circle shone with dazzling red light, covering everyone in it, and also Leos.
and the altar became blurry in front of everyone, and even Reilly was not allowed to take a step closer.
That layer of red light seemed to form a protective film, emitting powerful dark power, a power that even Queen Reili was afraid of.
Leos looked around hurriedly, and saw that the area around him was already bright red and he couldn't see anything. Even Leili, who was standing next to him just now, was isolated.
Suddenly, a thick black mist emerged on the black altar. A pair of scarlet eyes slowly opened in the black mist, and then a low voice that could penetrate people's souls sounded from the bottom of their hearts.
.
"Mortal... place the sacrifice on the altar! I will grant you the favor you want!"
Leos was startled, and after staring into the scarlet eyes for a moment, he felt a powerful force swallowing his soul, making his breathing feel as if it was about to stop.
But he reacted instantly and quickly moved one of the three boxes of sacrifices onto the altar.
The box weighed a hundred kilograms, which made it a little difficult for Leos to move it.
Then he opened the lid of the box, and inside was a beating heart of a big devil.
The black mist with red eyes let out a low laugh, then turned into a mass of darkness covering the sacrifices, and then emitted a heart-stopping black light, and the sacrifices on the altar together with the box
disappeared together.
Then, Leos placed the second and third sacrifices on the altar. They were still quickly swallowed by the black mist, and then there was a small chewing sound.
Then those scarlet eyes appeared again in the black mist.
(ps: second update!)
