"No!!" Evil Star exclaimed. He thought he would see the most tragic scene: the neck of the girl he liked was about to be cut through by Cass!
However, Cass's dagger struck a material as hard as steel, making a sharp sound like glass.
Before Charlotte's neck was slit, it was covered with an extremely hard substance, making her skin as hard as steel and unable to be hurt by ordinary blades.
Cass was startled and quickly took a few steps back. Charlotte had already taken the dagger in her hand and slashed back with her backhand, slitting the throat of Cass who had just taken a step back!
"Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa another, blood, gushing out from Cass's throat. He desperately covering his abdomen and throat to stabilize the injury, but he knew very well that this was already a fatal injury.
"This is the real cutting of the throat." Charlotte took back the dagger, "The guy with no grace actually kidnapped a lady, he deserves to die."
Cass couldn't speak. Blood spurted out from his body, and he fell to the ground and died within a few seconds.
"Charlotte, you---" Evil Star held up the scarred body and slowly walked over to check Charlotte's injuries.
There was only a slight scratch on the girl's neck. Her steel-like skin just now might be some kind of magic that strengthened the body.
"The sequelae of [petrification disease]." The girl smiled bitterly at the dragon, "When my body senses a fatal threat, the epidermis will automatically petrify and form a protective film as hard as steel."
This girl, who looked as weak as a flower, had a layer of steel skin on her body that made her invulnerable. Cass thought that this was a weak woman who would be easy to bully, so he picked the wrong target to kidnap.
After feeling relieved, the evil star fell to the ground. The power in his body was completely exhausted, and the heavy bleeding caused by the wound made him even weaker.
"Evil star?! Cheer up!" Charlotte shook the fallen dragon.
"Antidote..." said the evil star's energy like a gossamer thread.
Charlotte hurriedly searched for General Cass's body and found a bottle of what seemed to be an antidote. She immediately took it to Justin I and drank half of it.
"You also have a drink..." the emperor whispered.
"I'm fine, my body can resist the poison." Charlotte came over again and poured the remaining medicine into the evil star's mouth.
The evil star is a dragon, so even a little poison will not be fatal to him... What is really fatal is something else.
"Charlotte... I hope you are all safe." Xinghui Long was extremely weak and his eyes began to turn black. He fainted in the next second.
Eight o'clock in the evening, Athens.
The Grik Tribe's "Thank You Offering" can be said to be complex, but it can also be said to be simple.
Its simplicity is that the people participating in the ceremony do not need to do anything, they just watch the high priest slaughter the sacrifices and offer them to the gods after praying.
The complexity of it is...the sacrifices are not easy to pick.
The leopard men who originally arranged this festival must have been pragmatists. They did not select the fattest and strongest animals to offer to the gods; on the contrary, they deliberately identified those as "defects" and could not be raised.
Animals were sacrificed to God, and some babies thought to be unable to be raised were even sacrificed to God, in order to pray that God would accept these weaklings and free them from the suffering of this world and enjoy ease in heaven.
They believe that God is merciful, able to accept all the suffering in the world, and will treat their sacrifices tolerantly.
Of course, that was just the self-deception of the leopard people. They just took the opportunity to get rid of those [troublesome] animals so as not to continue to increase the number of mouths snatching food.
When a person is in a dark and desperate situation, things that seem cruel and barbaric can be distorted into moral civilization. In order to survive, everything is allowed and everything is just.
Bedivere and Albert knew nothing about this matter. They thought that the sacrifices prepared were just animals such as pigs and cows. If they knew that the sacrifice was a baby, they would be furious.
In fact, the high priest Deanna arranged the seats of Al and Bedi thirty yards away from the altar, and a group of priests surrounded the two people, so that they could not see the movement on the altar at all -
----Her plan cannot be disturbed by these two alien teenagers.
The three Hackett brothers were sitting on a special seat ten yards away from the altar. Argus and Bugs probably thought this was an honor, and sat there pretending to be majestic;
Aosze was nowhere to be seen, not even attending such an important ceremony.
The ceremony began. The Leopards all turned their attention to the huge wooden altar in the center of the square. Although it was a temporary altar, it was not rough at all. It was neatly erected on a support composed of dozens of large wooden stakes.
Hundreds of boards.
They form a high platform with three steps. The entire high platform is ten feet high. There are about a dozen torches on both sides of the high platform. On top of the high platform is a five-foot square flat table, which is specially used for slaughtering sacrifices.
Even the grooves on the table are meaningful: they are used to guide the blood of the sacrifices into a wooden bucket for collecting blood hidden under the high platform. In this way, the blood of the sacrifices can be quickly drained.
The altar will not be overly stained by blood.
In fact, there is another wooden barrel hidden in the high platform, which is specially used to place the entrails of the sacrifices. However, the high priest is only responsible for slaughtering the sacrifices at the "Thank You Offering" and is not responsible for further processing the sacrifices in front of everyone. Therefore, such as
Those bloody scenes of evisceration will never appear at the festival.
Behind the high platform of the altar is a curtain supported by two huge wooden stakes. The white curtain is printed with the tattoos of the Grik tribe, and a totem of a black panther galloping under the moon, [Moon Shadow Leopard Pattern]
].
Bedivere looked at the altar from a distance and admired the exquisite workmanship of the altar. High Priest Diana had already walked in from outside the square. She read out the sacrificial words in the language of the Leopard people. Bedivere did not understand it at all, but
I also knew that there was nothing special to pay attention to, so I just ignored it.
The werewolf boy looked at the leopard people around him who were also chanting with the high priest with their hands clasped together, as if they were praying some kind of prayer, so he also chanted casually. Although he had no interest in the leopard people's religion at all, he also knew how to do as the Romans do and pretend to be
A look is still necessary.
Albert on the side looked at Bedi pretending to pray and responded with a disdainful sneer.
