Scene Two Hundred and Forty-Eight The Living Sacrificial Ceremony
Brando came to the leader of the sheep-headed cultists, looked at the guy's condition, and couldn't help but smile bitterly after being stunned. The jaw of the leader of the sheep-headed cultists had been completely smashed by the punch, and his mouth was full of blood, like a dead man.
How could he interrogate someone lying like a fish in the mud? He turned back to look at Huang Huo, who stuck out his tongue in a rare and embarrassed manner.
"Leave it to me, I have a way to get him to talk." It was Fang Qi who spoke. He didn't know when he came back, carrying the body of a Sheep-headed cultist in his hand. He probably didn't bother to strip the clothes.
Something happened. He threw the body in his hand onto a dry mound nearby and said.
"You?" Brando looked at this guy in surprise. The big expression on his face was that he probably didn't expect that this guy could be useful. He brought this guy with him on this trip purely because he might need it when entering the realm of stagnation.
Just blood.
"Hmph, I don't want to wear those damn stinky robes. Aren't you going to Martahar? It's okay if I don't go into the city. I'll wait for you in the wild."
"Is this your condition?" Brando looked strange: "You won't go into the city?"
"Don't worry, I swear in the name of Ghost Che, I will never run away alone. Besides, I am also interested in the mystery of Jade."
"Okay, if you insist..." Brando quickly interrupted the guy, lifted the leader of the goat-headed cultists who was constantly sleeping from the muddy water, and threw it to him: "We will only stay in Maltaha for a while.
Stay, you only need to stay in the wild for a few hours. Then wait for us south of the town. Don't leave too far. I will use the communication crystal to contact you."
Fang Qi took the leader of the Sheep-headed Cult with one hand and nodded.
I have to say that although this guy is not gregarious, he does have his own methods. He quickly got the answer Brando wanted from the leader of the Sheep-headed Cult who screamed repeatedly. Brando didn't know how this guy came about.
The sheep-headed cultist with a broken chin was able to express what he meant accurately. But looking at Fang Qi's face that he was refusing to talk to people thousands of miles away, I guess that must be the secret of Gui Che's lineage. Everyone
Everyone has their own secrets, and Brando will naturally not force them.
According to the information obtained from the leader of the Sheep-Headed Cultists, these Sheep-Headed Cultists happened to be heading south to Maltaha. This did not exceed Brando's expectation. There was only such a town to the south in this swamp.
He then asked Fang Qi to ask the leader of the Sheep-Headed Cult what they were going to Maltaha for, and the answer he got was that the other party planned to go to Deharan via Maltaha to participate in a sacrificial ceremony.
Deharan Port is a port city on the sea within the Dead Moon. It is south of Maltaha and is nominally a port under the jurisdiction of Madara. The owner of Deharan Port is the Hoduli family, a dark noble family with a long history.
This family firmly controls Deharan's port, chamber of commerce and guilds through an organization called the 'Grey Scepter'. According to the information provided by Queen Madara, almost all of the top leaders of this organization are
It is composed of a secret society of Yang-headed believers. The head of the Hoduli family is also a secretly developed believer of the Yang-headed believers.
When Brando saw this information for the first time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that although Madara was abandoned by the All Things Unity Association, the country was not a pure land. The same evil beliefs were rampant. First there were tree shepherds,
Later, there were Yangshou believers, and every family had sutras that were difficult to recite.
However, the sacrificial rituals mentioned by the leader of the Sheephead Cultists caught his attention. The cultists in Warnde will perform some evil rituals every three days, such as living sacrifices or blood sacrifices or summoning demons, etc.; of course, the objects of living sacrifices and blood sacrifices are different.
It must be humans or other intelligent creatures every time. Domestic animals such as cattle and sheep can also be used, but intelligent creatures are often used as the objects of living sacrifices, which must be a sacrificial ceremony of extremely high standards.
Just what the leader of the Yangshou Cultists said was that this ceremony was a high-level ceremony. The Yangshou Cultists had spread the news through their private communication channels half a month ago, allowing the Yangshou Cultists in the Taokeqi area to report to
Deharan gathered to participate in the human sacrifice ceremony that was expected to take place in three days.
Brando asked about the relevant content of the living sacrifice ceremony. But he got very few answers. It seemed that the leader of the Sheep-Headed Cult was just a temporary convener. He only knew the approximate time and scale of the living sacrifice ceremony. As for the rest,
So I asked three questions and I didn’t know.
Brando had no mercy for this kind of person. After asking for all the information, he asked Fang Qi to 'deal' with him so that he could be sent to Martha to confess. However, Fang Qi drew his sword and planned to
When he started, the man seemed to be aware of his situation. He struggled in fear and screamed out another piece of information, intending to save his own life. Unfortunately, Fang Qi was indifferent to this and sent him on the road with a sword.
The latter returned to Brando and recounted the last words shouted by the leader of the Sheep-Headed Cultists, which meant that the leader of the Sheep-Headed Cultists had heard from people in private channels that the living sacrifice ceremony was
Related to the opening of the Attuk Holy Land.
"What is the Holy Land of Atuk?" Brando asked.
No one present could answer this question. Brando was a little speechless about Fang Qi's "decisive killing", but fortunately this question was not important. The Holy Land of Atuk was obviously a place known only to the Sheep-Headed Cultists.
There aren't many other things in this area, but there are a lot of these disgusting guys. When you get to Maltaha, there are plenty of opportunities to gather information.
Therefore, after he glanced at Fang Qi angrily, he ordered others to put on the robes of the Sheep-Headed Cult. Except for Mr. Liu, the three ladies all expressed varying degrees of unwelcomeness towards these stinking robes.
The prime minister's daughter first put on her robe with a look of disgust, then put on her hood, and then quickly took it off again. She immediately took a deep breath, and her face seemed to turn a little pale.
Then came Magdalene, the nun princess holding the robe helplessly with a look of determination on her face, as if it was not a robe but a length of rope on the gallows, and as long as she put it on, she would immediately suffocate to death.
of.
Brando saw the princess gritting her teeth again and again, as if she had made a huge determination, then put on the robe, and then shook her whole body twice.
Only Huang Huo behaved calmly and calmly. The little princess actually took out the scissors and needle and thread from her luggage and cut the robe into one size smaller to fit her body shape. Brando
For a moment, he was a little stunned. Mr. Liu explained to him on the side that this little princess of the Jade Phoenix lineage was quite ingenious. Most of her own clothes were designed and cut by herself. Hearing this news, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Brando looked at this little princess with admiration, who was supposed to be well-dressed and well-fed.
But before he could finish his sigh, he saw Huang Huo sprinkle layer upon layer of spices into the robe with a look of disgust on his face, and then covered his face with a silk scarf before putting on the robe.
Robes. Fortunately, most Goat-Headed Cultists are people who hide their heads and tails, so covering their faces is more in line with their characteristics.
In fact, Huang Huo's move was quickly imitated by the two ladies. The little princess seemed to have been prepared and took out two more silk scarves and spices, which made Magdale and Delphine extremely grateful.
Seeing this scene, Brando couldn't help but feel a little confused. He couldn't help lifting up his sleeves and sniffing it and thinking, is it really that smelly? As a result, this action immediately made his stomach churn. Even if he was close to the level of the perfect body in the realm of saints, it was almost
Vomited raw.
"My lord, Martha, how long have these damn guys not had a shower?"
As for Fang Qi, he had already said that he would not put on these robes even if he was killed first. After Brando and him agreed on a meeting place, the group of people divided into two groups and headed directly towards Maltaha.
The teleportation point was obviously not far from Maltaha. It didn't take long for traces of human activities to appear in the swamps. Along the way, they also bumped into several groups of Goat-Headed Cultists who were also heading towards Maltaha. Fortunately, the Goat-Headed Cultists
They are relatively solitary, and there is no intersection between different groups. Although both parties have the same destination, when they meet each other, they mostly just look at each other and are on guard to separate again. At most, they just say hello.
Just ask where the person is from.
And Brando had already asked for relevant information from the leader of the Sheep-Headed Cultists, so he also made up an identity. No one would investigate carefully anyway. The Sheep-Headed Cultists are cultists of demons and chaos, and their behavior is confusing.
, I don’t think there will be any big leaks.
Soon, the shadow of a town appeared in the mist. The town in the swamp was obviously not too big. Maltahar sounded like a town, but in fact it was just a resting place for travelers on the way to Deharan.
It is just a temporary settlement. Even if there are some permanent residents, there will not be too many. Therefore, the scale of Maltaha is not much larger than a village. The town has more hotels of various sizes than ordinary villages and towns.
It is also for the convenience of pedestrians passing by.
Of course, there are no serious tourists in this area. It is mainly for the convenience of the Sheephead believers' pilgrimage.
Brando had inquired clearly before that the Port of Deharan was the headquarters of the Sheepheaded Believers in the Tochik area, and the head of this generation of the Hoduli family was also the 'Patriarch' of this area.
Occupation. The Sheep-Headed Cult is different from the Tree Shepherds. This cult does not have an obvious high-level organization with a tree-like structure. It can be seen all over Warnd. However, the Sheep-Headed Cultists have almost no contact with each other, large and small.
Small 'Patriarchs' manage believers in different areas. Most of these Patriarchs do not know each other, and may not even have any contact with each other in their lives. This is a fragmented organization. But since it can take on the responsibility
The title of 'Patriarch' at least shows that the head of the Hoduli family can be regarded as the 'chief leader' of the Sheep-Head believers in the Tochik area.
