Pirate Kingship

Behind them, the [Mosquito Mage] waved away the group of apprentices, but called out to the priest named Martin Griffith alone.

"Mr. Martin, when you used the [Angel's Descent] ritual in the secret realm this time, did you feel anything different?"

The young priest did not answer his question directly, but first praised a name with a fanatical aria:

"Praise the great angel of power Asiya!"

Then he answered his question:

"This ritual is not particularly different.

Although the rules from the world cracks and the old god Lilith are of extremely high level, they are not suitable for the symptoms.

The source of life in the blood source secret realm may be able to heal all physical injuries, but it cannot exempt me from the side effects of practicing "Gospel of Heaven".

To compensate for the cost, it is likely that the "blood of immortality" and "panacea" that can achieve the miracle of immortality are still needed.

The only feeling is probably what the predecessors mentioned before, that Lilith and the power of the Creator seem to be very compatible, and the duration of the angel's descending is indeed much longer than outside."

[Mosquito Mage] was not surprised that he did not praise the Creator like other clergymen, but praised an unknown angel. Obviously, he had already gotten used to it.

The symptoms of the 15 test subjects in front of him were all the same as his.

Because this is the side effect of "Gospel of Heaven"!

"The cognition is forcibly modified, and I can't help but praise angels. It's really a terrible price."

[Mosquito Mage] thinks that the side effect of liking insects in his own "Book of Giant Insects" is easier to accept.

Is the forbidden knowledge that is said to have escaped from the Creator strong?

Of course it is ridiculously strong!

If used well, it is almost equivalent to achieving a very high-level "holy descent" effect in one step.

Let a powerful spirit from heaven descend into your body to fight for you.

It is also comparable to the second level of swordsmanship [God's Vision].

However, whether it is the harsh requirements of the promotion ceremony or the side effects after practice, it is difficult for some big figures in the Cardinals to accept it.

For example, the obvious side effect in front of you: praising angels.

Only the extraordinary people of the Temple sequence can learn this forbidden knowledge.

But every time he spoke, he couldn't help but praise the unknown angel he read from "The Gospel of Heaven".

You must know that [The Bound Creator] is the only God worthy of belief.

For a clergyman affiliated with the church, this is simply open blasphemy!

If this side effect cannot be eliminated, whether you are a cardinal of the College of Cardinals or a saint of the Council of God, you will definitely be sent to the stake by angry believers.

Moreover, if this primitive instinct cannot be balanced for a long time, you will gradually become "superstitious" and convert to the angel from the bottom of your heart, becoming a brainless fanatic, willing to sacrifice everything for Him.

This side effect alone is an unbearable burden for the clergy.

Now the top priority for some senior officials who are already not young is to exempt themselves from the cost of learning "The Gospel of Heaven" and step by step reach the realm of God.

At present, [Mother of Creation Lilith] may be the most likely to help them realize this wish.

[Mosquito Mage] nodded to the young priest.

"I understand, Mr. Martin, go back and rest, and conduct the next experiment in three days."

It was expected that there would be no harvest. If it was really that easy to get results, they would not have been stuck at the last step for hundreds of years.

This group of people has always done a good job of keeping secrets.

All participants in the "Eternal Life Plan" experiment are required to sign the most stringent contract and must not reveal any words to irrelevant people.

If you use extraordinary abilities to forcibly extract information from their souls, it will cause self-destruction on the spot.

Even if Byron wanted to catch them and torture them for intelligence, he would not only fail to do so, but also alert the enemy.

[Mosquito Mage] watched the gray-robed priest leave, and then looked at the cave that was closed again by a blood-red light barrier.

He took out an experimental record from his pocket, scribbled a few strokes on it, and then solemnly wrote a line of words:

"'Eternal Life Project' Experiment No. 17, Baron Byron Tudor of Stromgarde, codename: Living Dependents."

At this time, Byron had led people along the mountain tunnel on the surface of the island and entered the underground blood source secret realm.

Crackling

A group of black bats flew out from above their heads with their wings vibrating.

When the group saw the scene here clearly, except for [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred who had been here many times, everyone else couldn't help but open their mouths wide.

[Chameleon] Jacqueline directly expressed the thoughts of most people:

"It's hard to imagine that on such a remote island, there would be a huge underground city.

And it's very different from the style of those indigenous city-states, more like an ancient building complex on the old continent."

In front of them appeared a dense black Gothic building complex like a jungle, like a thorny arrow piercing the sky.

The towering spires, pointed arches, large windows and stained glass windows depicting mythological stories about the old goddess Lilith.

There are also pointed ribbed vaults, flying buttresses and slender beams, creating a light and slender sense of flying for the entire city.

And at the top of all the towers is a pure black iron cross.

These black crosses seem to be some kind of holy emblem, but they don't have the sacred meaning of a church. Instead, people subconsciously think that they are terrifying execution racks at first glance.

It is particularly suitable for the "impalement punishment" that people are afraid of.

In particular, there is an illusory blood moon that always floats over the city, seemingly sinking, dyeing the city bloody and freezing it forever in the night.

At a glance, the whole city is as dead silent as a mausoleum, which makes people terrified.

The local tyrant [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred explained to Byron and the others:

"According to the information obtained by the church's explorations, this should be a projection of a city in the Night Demon Kingdom ruled by the old god Lilith in the Mythological Era.

Before the Silver Age, [Night Demons] were the ruling class in Lilith's kingdom.

The current titles of nobility originated from that period. At the earliest, it seemed that there was only the title of Earl, and then it was slowly expanded to its current form.

The owner of this territory at that time seemed to be [Piercing Prince] Tsepesh. His life was unknown. We only know that he particularly liked to pierce his enemies.

But we have never been able to find the corresponding person in the history books of the Old World.

The church's civilization blockade for a full thousand years has annihilated everything in the Mythological Era."

Many extraordinary people vaguely know that a catastrophe that led to the Ragnarok occurred from the end of the Mythological Era to the beginning of the Silver Age.

But no one knows the inside story.

All we know is that the church started a high-pressure rule that spanned thousands of years. During the entire Dark Ages, most of the civilizations in the Silver Continent almost stagnated.

The degree of all-round and strict supervision was as if any spark of civilization would attract the prying of indescribable things in the darkness, causing unpredictable disasters.

Even if they castrated themselves again and again, they would not hesitate.

During that period, any heresy was strictly prohibited. Not only were the history books recording the previous era burned.

Even the corresponding authority in the sea of ​​human collective subconsciousness was forcibly locked by the church.

So much so that the Bloodthirsty Cult could not find any information about this historical figure in the mythical era from the "Key of Omniscience" in the public library of [Silver Law].

"What a pity."

Every time he encountered a historical clue that was cut off because of the church's ban, Byron couldn't help but complain in his heart:

"The church dared to kill [historians] and historians for a thousand years. It's really courageous.

In the dark millennium that just passed a few years ago, the dark wizards were suppressed the most, and the second should be those tower sequence [historians] who tried to discover the truth of history.

I dare to assert that within a hundred years, the reputation of the church will definitely be stinking.

Referring to the experience of the previous life, looking back at the entire history of five thousand years, how many rulers dared to kill historians?

Even the Sima family, who was the floor of the royal family, didn't kill them.

Fortunately, he didn't kill him. The official history records: Zhao killed the king in the street.

If he killed him, the unofficial history records: Zhao tested the king in the street, the king refused, forced him, and the king collapsed and died.

Or, the wild history records: Zhao licked the king in the street"

Stop, it's getting more and more outrageous.

Byron stopped his unbridled thoughts.

Official history may not be true, but unofficial history is definitely wild enough, and there is no wildest, only wilder.

No one can be strong forever. In recent years, under pressure and resistance, most of the taboos of the dark millennium have been gradually lifted.

Coupled with internal divisions, when the church can no longer cover the sky with one hand, it may be the time for everyone to push down the wall, and the time for killing and killing.

Just when they had just set foot in this ancient city.

"Ah--!"

In the deep alleys nearby, which were covered with a layer of blood, a howl of a wild beast suddenly came out.

Soon, several strange monsters appeared in front of them.

The body was hunched, the skin was gray, and the palms and soles had cold and sharp claws, and the whole body was filled with a strong smell of corpses.

It was a group of genuine [grotesque ghouls]!

In the alley on the other side, accompanied by several shrill wolf howls, four or five pitch-black giant wolves taller than bison slowly walked out, but their faces were half wolf-like and half human-like.

This was obviously a group of degraded and fallen [werewolf].

Moreover, their own levels were not high, and the highest was only low sequence. They hesitated when facing enemies that far outnumbered them.

"Everyone remember, don't be alone here, don't bleed, and there will be no danger if you follow the main force."

Just like the "Treasure Island" that Byron and Violet cleared last time.

The reason why many secret realms, restricted areas and special areas were formed was because the gap between the material world and the source sea was accidentally opened.

As a result, in a relatively closed area, not only various bizarre existences in human history and fantasy appeared.

Just like those weird evil spirits, because of the confrontation between divinity and animality, order and chaos, various strange taboos were formed.

Hearing the reminder from [Blood Red Whiskey], everyone automatically recalled the taboos of the Blood Source Secret Realm that they had been told repeatedly before entering:

“First, the city is mainly divided into two parts, the outer lower city and the inner upper city. There is a screaming well in the center of the upper city. The source of life inside can heal all physical injuries.

The more source you take, the more blood you have to pay back. The first-level transmutation blood can be exchanged one-to-one.

This is also one of the best materials to assist [Ritual·Blood Feast Holy Grail].

2. The whole city is full of various beastmen, among which ghouls, werewolves, goatmen, batmen, and mothmen are the most numerous.

But as long as the number of our side is greater than theirs within the field of vision, we will not be attacked, otherwise we will definitely be attacked.

3. All grotesques are particularly bloodthirsty. Once they smell the fresh smell of human blood, they may attract beastmen from several blocks to besiege at the same time, breaking through the critical point of number comparison. "

Every time the Bloodthirsty Cult enters here, it is usually a large force of dozens of people, just to make full use of the rules and reduce unnecessary battles.

But Byron directly ordered:

"Eight fingers, open the way, target the Black Church in the upper city.

Although the world crack here connects to the burial place of [Mother of Creation·Lilith], the level is only level three.

No mid-sequence grotesque can pass through the crack.

Clean up all the beastmen you meet on the road, and the premise is to achieve the ritual precondition: Blood Feast under the Red Moon.

Anyway, when I start the ceremony, the sacrifices of the ‘blood feast’ will attract all the weirds in the city.

It’s better to clean it up now. ”

“Yes, Captain.”

A group of sixty Deathwings immediately deployed a battle formation in front.

These people are all the elite among the elite.

After the implementation of Captain 721’s fission mode for more than half a year, plus the core guards accumulated bit by bit since the reorganization of the Lancaster Party.

All members are first-level extraordinary people and enjoy the treatment of pirate officers.

Among them, there are twenty [Bay Berserkers] of the Lighthouse Sequence, twenty [Musketeers] of the Fortress Sequence, and twenty [Pirates] of the Lighthouse Sequence.

It has long-range, medium-range, and short-range capabilities, and can adapt to various combat scenarios.

Violet shook the traveler’s bag, and ten bronze field guns mounted on the gun carriage were also released.

“Fire! "

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The whole team rumbled towards the upper city.

Deathwing occasionally put an enemy in the middle of the team, and Byron killed him with a sword.

Every time he killed a beastman, he slowly drank a mouthful of blood brew, and his eyes and skin began to turn slightly red.

The first mouthful was the [Heroic Mad Water] that could put a warrior into a semi-frenzy state;

The second mouthful was the [Desire Joy] that could make people drunk and enjoy the bliss of the world;

The third mouthful was the [Blue Blood Sweet Spring] that could heal all kinds of external injuries; the fourth mouthful was the [Bloody Mary] that could keep people young forever.

It was nothing for a tiger-fighting hero to drink eighteen bowls. Before walking from here to the Black Church in the city center, Byron had to drink a full 108 kinds of blood brew.

Let the body remember their effects thoroughly.

At this point, the blood sublimation ceremony of the [Blood Feast Holy Grail] officially began.
