My players are so fierce

Chapter 538 537. The much-anticipated imprisonment of Play did happen, but the form was a bit strange.

During his time at the Crimson Keep, Murphy often heard the call to prayer.

Especially in the "Temple District" of the city, the Church of Avalon, the Church of the Winter Wolf, the Monastery of the Eye of the Wolf God, the Church of the Holy Light, and a group of berserker priests who were seduced by the mountain people and came from the Ice Bay. After them, various prayers have turned part of the vampire city into the so-called "Holy Place of Faith."

Although the words "vampire" and "faith" are paired together, it always gives people a strange feeling like pancakes rolled with rice and steamed buns, but that is indeed part of the daily life in Scarlet Castle, and in the special situation that has just stabilized. Lancia, the large-scale spread of serious beliefs is not a bad thing for rulers.

After all, this is a world where gods really exist. It is necessary to do as the Romans do. You see, intellectuals like Old Chentou will occasionally go to the Temple of Avalon to stay for a while. Of course, it is difficult to say that Old Chentou goes there to pursue his faith. , let’s chat with Aunt Marian.

Anyway, according to some gossip on the forum, Professor Chen and Grandma Marianne were seen walking together in the city in the evening, and more than once.

Hello!

Enough of these baseless rumors! You gossip lovers don't even let people of Old Chen's age go?

But considering that Murphy is now in a large maze where a group of evil goat-man thugs live, it is no exaggeration to say that this filthy underground palace is the most evil and chaotic place Murphy has ever encountered since his rebirth, and now, in this In a "crucible of evil", he clearly heard prayers.

It is not the kind of prayer that ordinary believers use to vaguely express their worries and personal desires to the gods, but the kind of prayer that is very ethereal and can feel "holy" just by listening to the sound.

It is transmitted in Elvish, and every byte is clearly enunciated, and a tone similar to chanting or singing is used at the connection of each paragraph to complete the perfect connection. This is definitely not a job that an ordinary believer can do.

In fact, old Eugene, the fanatic of the Church of Avalon, was no match for the voice Murphy would hear in this regard.

This is definitely a high-ranking priest of a certain sect here, but I don’t know if she is praying for herself, or for protection from the souls imprisoned in this underground palace who are bound to be harmed?

Or is this some evil goat-man secret?

From the killings just now, Murphy has confirmed that these goatmen carry some of the filth of the astral realm. They are likely to carry out depravity in this earth palace, and have even established contact with some mysterious existences in the astral realm and even the subspace.

And it can be confirmed from the common physical mutations of these goatmen killed by Murphy that this filth has been going on for a long time.

But no matter what, after Murphy confirmed twice in a row that his soul state was normal and he had not "collapsed evil", nor did he trigger an active counterattack by the Omega program, he frowned, held two weapons, and walked on the star Accompanied by the boundary wolf George, he approached the place where the sound came from.

Although there was no evidence, Murphy had a feeling that the sound of this prayer sounded here and now, clearly attracting him to come there.

However, the Great Underground Palace of Baphomet is a very complex three-dimensional maze. It is very difficult to locate here by sound. This ghost place has obviously existed for a long time. It is a weird building built with complex postures. In order to preserve it, the goat people Their evil secrets have also transformed the three-dimensional structure for the worse.

There are many strange covers used to confuse vision, turning this terrifying maze into an almost impassable "underground forbidden area".

Not only outsiders will get lost here, but even some goatmen will not be able to find their way back to their stronghold because they stray into an alley. The goatmen who were killed by Murphy just now are in this embarrassing situation. In this situation, they are obviously wandering randomly in the maze without any purpose.

Murphy speculated that this might be a "sacrificial ritual."

He learned from Tris that the Goatmen had always had a tradition of gladiatorial sacrifices, and not making good use of such a powerful maze would be a shame for the evil nature of the Goatmen.

These rude and savage guys will throw the poor people they capture into the maze, appreciate their fear and resistance to death in the process of being lost, and achieve some evil purposes by collecting this desperate emotion.

There are indeed similar evil rituals on this continent. Tris often talked about this kind of thing when she was giving Murphy psychic lessons. In some time in the past, similar rituals have occurred more than once on the borders of civilization, causing There were many horrific casualties.

This is also how some extremist cultists try to please their "gods."

The vampire lord can be sure that no matter what the goat people are doing here, this evil thing has been going on for hundreds of years under the cover of the Black Disaster, and the despair and pain they have collected through this is absolutely astronomical.

"The Goatmen want to please an evil god, no, that's not quite accurate, they want to 'awaken' an evil god.

This underground palace was once the place of sacrifice for the evil god. It was abandoned at the end of the previous era, but the evil god left behind some fallen skills. As long as certain conditions are met, the goatman can awaken it. .

Sounds evil, right?

But this is just one of the countless evils lurking around the Dark Mountains, and yet it is perhaps the closest to realization of those catastrophes that could be triggered. "

Just as Murphy was thinking about this issue, the ethereal voice that had been praying just now suddenly stopped chanting and turned to speak this paragraph in a gentle manner.

Murphy stopped immediately.

This passage perfectly answered his curiosity and speculation about Baphomet's underground palace, but he did not express his curiosity at all. In other words, the hidden lady in front of him guessed Murphy's curiosity.

Even more spooky, she reads Murphy's mind.

This made the vampire governor frown, and he released a mind-sealing spell. This was learned from Tris. It was a method Tris often used to seal the mind to prevent Murphy from using the power of desire to pry into his thoughts.

"Well, I can't hear your voice anymore. That quick-thinking, full of secrets but also a sweet longing for your lover closed the door on me. They say that the face comes from the heart, and with such an exquisite soul, I think you are definitely a rare and beautiful person in the world."

The voice said with some regret:

"I'm sorry to talk to you this way, but I have to make sure it's you."

"Your words have a neurotic demeanor of 'prove that I am who I am'."

Murphy complained, unsheathing his cane and sword, and the wolf at his feet also made a fierce gesture of pounce. When he bypassed the wall in front of him, he saw the owner of the voice that spoke to him.

a woman.

What a strange woman!

A very strange woman in every way!

Her upper body maintained the slenderness and elegance unique to the elves, and she also wore a silver sacrificial robe, dotted with very special light spots, so that her sight would not be blocked in this dark place.

But this is a shadow elf, so her sacrificial robe is not that serious. It looks like some kind of special "sexy costume", with strange hollows all around the supposedly holy sacrificial robe.

But not ugly.

Very subtly stuck in the elusive middle position of "obscene" and "holy", making her look both sacred and sentimental. This kind of ruthless work is impossible without hundreds of years of dark literature and art accumulation, so she can only It is true that the shadow elves have a "good reputation" in this industry.

Just bringing this piece of clothing to the Church of Avalon was enough for old Eugene to yell "blasphemy."

But Murphy did not let down his guard because of the strange temperament of this woman, because against the beautiful upper body, her lower body looked quite scary.

That's a spider!

It was like splicing together a man with only the upper body and a big spider with his head cut off. Although the lower body of the body was decorated with many wonderful gems and accessories made of gold, silver and copper, it still could not hide its terror.

Six sharp, tough and ferocious spider legs with claws and golden rings supported the body of this unique woman.

She turned her back to Murphy and maintained a praying posture towards an ancient wall. This left her lower body almost completely exposed to Murphy's eyes, making the vampire lord extremely vigilant.

And when he moved around to the flank, he was shocked to find that in addition to the two hands on the upper body, this guy also had two sharp, sickle-like slashing limbs where the "abdomen" connected to the spider's body.

This discovery adds a touch of ferocity to this already strange guy.

Judging from the four elf swords, a priest's staff, and a faith-style spider shield made of the carapace of some kind of creature placed in the hands of this "Spider Woman", this guy is definitely not just a simple "clergyman."

Murphy could imagine her stunning appearance when she appeared on the battlefield and started killing with her weird powers.

But at this time, Murphy saw a certain pattern on the edge of the spider woman's sacrificial robe. It was the pattern of the shadow spider. Thanks to the characteristic analysis of the thirteen shadow elf families described by Adele before, he Murphy recognized it immediately.

The vampire lord's heart moved, and he remembered the information he had just obtained when he eavesdropped on Mrs. Bernice's conversation with her daughter, so he spoke:

"You are a member of the Medjeva family? With this strange posture, you are the legendary 'fate-weaver girl'? It is said that you can predict destiny, but why do you appear here thousands of miles away from the Eternal Rift Valley? The place?

I heard that Fateweaver Girl is the most important core figure of every shadow elf family. Does your appearance here mean that the Medjeva family is preparing to launch some kind of operation near the Barren Mountain? "

"That's not the case, Mr. Murphy. You already know the fact of the destruction of the Medjeva family from other channels. You are just trying to deceive me. You are such a handsome and cunning leader."

After Murphy asked the question, the fate-weaver girl who maintained a praying posture finally opened her eyes.

A lady with such a strange body must have a pair of strange eyes to match such distortion. When she looked at Murphy, the vampire lord also saw the guy's black pupils on the left and white pupils on the right.

These eyes once again added a sense of mystery to this strange woman, but to be honest, they were not ugly. When paired with her long white hair, she gave her a sense of indifference.

"But those sufferings in the past are meaningless. I took my surviving cowardly people through the dark mountains and came to this desolate land. Destiny gave me a revelation. Now, where the prophecy has come true At this moment, I finally see you in this dark place, Mr. Murphy.

All I can say is, I'm very honored. "

This woman, who was "dangerous" in every sense, behaved politely. She bowed to Murphy with the etiquette of a shadow elf, and did not even use her must-have powerful psychic power to prevent Murphy from throwing away the detection technique. on her.

As the information on the character card jumped, the creature's information was quickly reflected in front of Murphy's eyes:

Name: [Weaver] Anu Velantha Medjeva

Template: Level 37 boss creature·Silver/Gold [Weak and seriously injured·Level slippage]

Occupation: Level 30 Sword Singer/Level 30 God’s Choice·Destiny Girl/Artist·Classical Music Specialization

Rating: Extremely Dangerous·Neutral

"Oh it's you!"

Murphy had previously learned about the kidnapping and disappearance of the life-weaver girl of the Medjeva family from the mission records of young players. Currently, the young players, led by several NPCs, have approached the Baphomet Canyon and are preparing to rescue this guy. .

However, judging from the scene in front of Murphy, this guy was not captured by the Goatman at all!

After all, with the black iron power of the local goat man, how could he catch a golden man? Even if the fate-weaving girl in front of her loses strength due to injury, that is not something that a group of goat-man thugs who worship the evil god can do with her.

In other words, she arranged a "kidnapping" with the purpose of coming to this underground palace.

No!

You can tell from the words of this blabbering fate-weaver girl just now that she is waiting here specifically to meet Murphy here.

hiss.

It sounds scary and powerful.

Although Tris, the psychic master, has been complaining about the unreliability of prophetic psychic powers, at this moment, Murphy really felt the methods of these "prophets" who specialize in prophecy. This fate-weaver girl must have known it for a long time. Murphy will definitely appear in Baphomet's underground palace.

Understanding this made Murphy feel uncomfortable all over.

He didn't like the feeling of being arranged to meet by others. To use a less appropriate example, it was almost like being forced to go on a blind date.

Murphy had the intention to turn around and leave, but he had come, right?

"You risked your clansmen losing their backbone and about to collapse to meet me in this way. Although I don't like it, I do feel 'sincerity'."

The vampire lord took a step back and asked:

"So, Ms. Villanther, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"destiny!"

The fate-weaver girl who looked like a royal sister just from her upper body moved her limbs and said with a serious expression:

"On the night when the city of Mejwa was invaded by fallen creatures and my noble people were displaced, I saw the direction of fate while we were mourning in the disaster of killing. It was so real, as if the world was whispering to me about the future. .

That was the most wonderful experience I had ever had until now, when I became a fate-weaver girl 313 years ago.

Compared with it, the destruction of Medjeva City is nothing worth mentioning.

Anyway, my family has fallen for a long time, but that doesn’t matter!

The past is meaningless and the future is extremely precious. Governor Murphy, I am here to talk to you to arrange the 'new life' of the Mejwa family.

Yes.

I want to be your loyal servant!

I will dedicate my all to you under the will of my God, joining you in your destined grand destiny and sharing your greatness, so that my fallen compatriots can gain a chance of survival in the turbulent times that are about to begin. . "

"?"

Murphy was greatly shocked by these words.

Although it sounds like a really good thing for a strong gold man to take the initiative to vote, the scene in front of him is strange. This kind of cake delivered to your door looks sweet, but if you really eat it, you might get upset.

"I reject!"

Murphy waved his hands without any hesitation and said:

"I have just ended my master-servant contract with another woman. My heart is still deeply tired from the passing of the old past, and I am neither capable nor willing to accept the allegiance of a powerful fate-weaver girl.

Let me put it bluntly.

I don't like shadow elves at all, and I don't believe you, and you should know why. "

"Yes I know."

Faced with Murphy's rejection, the fate-weaver girl was not disappointed. It seemed that this was what she expected. She looked at Murphy and said seriously:

"It's related to 'Dusk', right?"

Murphy didn't answer, just looked at her calmly.

Villanse knew he had guessed correctly.

She moved her hideous and weird body forward, seemingly aware of the disgust and vigilance towards the "alien" in Murphy's eyes. The fate-weaver girl let out a hoarse laugh, and she made a unique gesture and followed it with her body. The psionic sway is cast as a spell.

After she took three steps, the ferocious image of the Spider Woman dissipated and was replaced by a shadow elf lady wearing a sacrificial robe. She no longer had a twisted body, but there were six arms around her slender and seductive body. Like a humanoid spider walking upright.

"Perhaps this form will make it more pleasing to your eyes."

Villanse, who had completed her "transformation", approached Murphy and whispered:

"If your enemy is Dusk, you will gain a steadfast companion on this hunt.

I have figured out their origins through prophecies and judgments along the way. The destruction of Mejwa City was caused by dusk. My gods did not tell me much, but I already know that those bastards sent their darkness. The power destroyed my home just to test its power.

I know that the leader of that faction calls himself a ‘scholar’.”

"Another Twilight Faction! Oh my god, are those guys mitotic?"

Murphy complained angrily:

"You brought me bad news, madam. Counting what I know now, four factions have appeared in front of me at dusk. Well, if you want to show your sincerity, then tell me that you are What did you see in the prophecy about my destiny?"

"future!"

The fate-weaver girl said excitedly:

“An ambiguous future.”

"Is mere ambiguity worth all you have to offer?"

Murphy complained expressionlessly:

"You prophets are really unreliable."

"You don't understand, Mr. Murphy. The world in your eyes is full of light, so you don't understand the pain of darkness covering the road ahead. Compared with the destruction and decay I have seen before, a vague future is enough for me. Stake everything from me."

The fate-weaver girl said softly:

"I can't see the clear shaping of destiny in the future, but I know that you are the most important part of it. You stand in the light and shadow of the star sea, and even the Spider Lady bows to you. I know that you have many things now. question, I also know that loyalty and acceptance are not easy gifts.

I am patiently waiting for you to trust me, and we still have a lot of time before we part ways tonight, so ask questions, Lord Murphy, ask your personal prophet.

From now on, the future I see will only be open to you. "
