Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Friday morning, No. 16 Howell Avenue, Backlund, Factory District.

Upton looked at the sky that looked like it was overcast. It would be around nine o'clock before the sun could break through the mist and let the people of Backlund know that today was actually a sunny day.

He missed the beach in Connacht City a little bit, where he could see the sky no matter when he looked up, and he could see the stars even at night.

While thinking about it, Upton entered the yard of a warehouse.

Howell Avenue is the famous "Warehouse Avenue" and there are basically various warehouses on both sides of this avenue.

Some goods are temporarily stored here and transported from here to the dock area on the next street. Some goods are transported from the dock area to here for temporary storage.

Upton's company's registered address is here. Currently, his company only has two necessary clerks and a driver. When it needs to move goods, it will hire some temporary labor.

The clerk's office was not here. Upton looked around to make sure no one was following or noticing him, then he opened the warehouse door and went in, and immediately closed the door.

The warehouse is very empty, with only two water pumps.

This is something that employees can't understand. In theory, based on the company's current business volume, the best option is to share a warehouse with other companies, rather than renting a warehouse as big as two pumps. storehouse.

Of course they didn't know Upton's intentions.

Upton came to the two water pumps and began to arrange the altar and build the spiritual wall. This step took up a lot of his time. After all, the water pumps were so big that they had to be wrapped in the spiritual wall.

When everything was ready, Upton took a deep breath and began to perform the ritual: "O creator of order in the world..., your loyal servant begs for your attention;

“I beg you to accept his offering;

“I pray that you will open the gates of your kingdom.”

After reciting, Upton burned the spiritual materials with a candle and waited anxiously for the "creator" to respond.

The "creator" didn't let him wait too long. After more than ten seconds, the majestic figure sitting on the sword appeared.

He grew taller and more majestic.

Upton immediately lowered his head and couldn't help but tremble all over. This was a physical suppression.

With a dull sound of opening the door, the two giant bronze doors appeared, opening a large gap.

A hurricane echoed in the spiritual wall in front of the altar. Upton, who had his head lowered, saw two water pumps lifting off the ground together. His eyes froze. It would take more than a dozen people to lift the steam pump!

Then he smiled: How stupid I am! He actually uses the strength of ordinary people to measure the power of gods!

Soon, the water pump floated out of Upton's sight. He still lowered his head deeply until there was a dull sound of the door closing.

"Very good!" said a solemn voice above his head.

Upton said quickly: "It is my honor to serve you."

The huge pressure disappeared, and Upton dared to look up. The two water pumps had disappeared, as if they had never existed in the warehouse.

The simple altar on the ground proved that the sacrifice just now was not a dream.

Upton wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Praise the creator!"

He was about to make the corresponding gesture, but found that he didn't seem to know the gesture that represented the "creator".

Upton was a little scared, feeling that he was not pious enough. The next time he saw the masked man, he must ask about the gesture that represented the "creator".

Then he got a little excited: Hearing the "creator's" tone just now, it seemed that he was very satisfied with my sacrifice! That was a response from the gods. Most extraordinary people in this world never received any reply from the gods throughout their lives.

While cleaning up the altar, he felt that he had made the right bet by asking the masked man for help.

…

Southern Continent, south of West Balam, Hordis Copper Mine.

On the open ground in front of the copper mine, a simple but solemn altar was erected. Two huge wooden carts were parked in front of the altar. Elliot was holding a whip and was personally directing the slaves to perform the final work on the altar. wipe.

Zachary and several other family members were smoking under the morning light next to the altar while watching Elliot talking and laughing.

They were the first people to take over the copper mine and were unaware that Elliot's sister Moira had recovered.

One of the family members asked: "What did he think? He actually said that he wanted to ask the gods to give him two water pumps. Do the gods have water pumps?"

Several people laughed and felt that this was the most ridiculous farce the Balkan family had ever done.

"I guess I'm so crowded by you that I don't know what to do." Zachary said with a smile: "We will act out a play with him later. Since we can't get a response from the gods, don't mention the water pump.

"At the same time, we need to comfort our mine manager and say that we know that everything he has done is for the Hordis Copper Mine. It is a pity that the gods do not want to look at this place."

At that time, Elliot had no prestige at all.

When the morning light fell on the altar, Elliot blasted the slaves down.

He threw away the leather whip in his hand, straightened his clothes, solemnly walked up to the one-meter-high altar, lit candles, and drew patterns.

Zachary and the others watched with arms folded, waiting for Elliot to make a fool of himself.

The slaves were asked to squat far away from the altar, with the foremen standing among them. They were all attracted by the solemnity of the mine pipe and stared closely in the direction of the altar.

After the altar was set up, Elliot arranged the gold as a sacrifice, then took out a wooden box from his arms and opened it. In the wooden box was a sleeve with some brown blood on it.

The brown blood kept flowing on the sleeves as if there was still life. But no matter how the blood flows, it will not flow beyond the sleeves. Even if the blood touches the wooden box, it will not leave any trace on the wooden box.

After checking the sacrifice again, Elliot began to pray: "O founder of order in the world...your faithful servant needs your help and needs two of the latest water pumps from the Kingdom of Loen. For this, I am willing to offer the altar. All the sacrifices!”

After the prayer, Elliott knelt devoutly in front of the altar.

A family member not far away laughed and said: "It's quite similar to that."

Zachary's expression became solemn because he had just heard the full honorific name of the "creator".

A few seconds later, the majestic figure appeared in Elliot's mind: "Okay!"

"Praise be to the Creator." Elliot began to offer the sacrifice, reciting in a solemn voice: "O Architect of human order... Thy faithful servant begs thy gaze;

“I pray that you will open the gates of your kingdom;

“I beg you to grant me two water pumps.”

Although the word "water pump" appeared in the sacrificial words, it sounded a bit funny, but Zachary and others couldn't laugh anymore. They felt that the altar was connected to a mysterious country, and they felt a terrifying force. The power is coming.

Thanks to [\u0026amp;amp;Devil Whisper\u0026amp;amp;] for the reward.
