Tome of Blood

Chapter 226 -76- Pray to the gods!

"Hehe, the Great Elder and Yorok really lived back and forth. They actually wanted to contact a suspicious existence that even the gods didn't know if it was true. It seems that the long time has made them forget that apprehension is not omnipotent. It is not All existences have good intentions towards blood descendants!"

"Yurst, a god who has fallen into eternal sleep cannot provide shelter for his dependents. The Ness clan must find another way..."

"Holy Advent is just around the corner. As the first batch of gods who wake up from deep sleep and are also blood clans, the Gorefiend Grand Duke represents the future of Ness!"

Elder Maxim had a loud voice and a majestic expression.

After hearing his words, Yurst's expression changed slightly:

"Your Majesty Abaddon? You... You are not cooperating with the Gorefiend Grand Duke! You actually joined the Gorefiend Grand Duke!"

Elder Maxim glanced at him indifferently:

"Take refuge? Even if you take refuge, why not?"

"Although you have not experienced the period of the battle of the gods, but you have witnessed the power of mythology in the era of king blood, then you should understand that in this world, only with mythology... can you control your own destiny!"

"Extraordinary power comes from God, and all glory belongs to God. Without the protection of God, the so-called extraordinary...is just water without a source, and a tree without roots."

"Even if you can survive for a while, but under the erosion of time, when the bloodline is weakening, it will eventually lead to destruction and severance..."

Yurst's eyes widened:

"So... you chose Grand Duke Gorefiend? Elder Maxim, have you forgotten what a crazy god that is?!"

"Crazy? So what about madness? Yurst, if you have experienced the battle of the gods, you will understand that compared to madness... for mortals, rational gods are more terrifying."

Elder Maxim shook his head slightly.

"Crazy! You must be crazy! You want to switch to the Gorefiend Grand Duke! Do you want Ness to become another Gorefiend Cult that everyone shouts and beats?"

"Even if Cauchy really fell into eternal sleep, and even if the Ness clan lost its god of protection, the future of the Nass clan will never be handed over to a hysterical lunatic!"

Yurst yelled angrily.

Elder Maxim's expression changed slightly, and he said gloomyly:

"Yurst, for the sake of being a descendant of Ness, I can forgive your offense this time..."

After all, he looked at Yurst coldly:

"Now, I give you two choices."

"One, surrender to me, sign a blood contract with me, and offer your loyalty to me. I will not pursue your past mistakes. On the contrary... I will give you the possibility to go further."

"Second, you can choose to refuse, but if that's the case, don't blame me for using the blood-blasphemy stick to turn you into a blood servant..."

"Blood servant! You actually want to transform a blood into a blood servant! You...you madman!"

Earl Urst said angrily.

Elder Maxim glanced at him indifferently:

"The troubled times are approaching, and all the rules of the past will be broken. Those who stick to the old rules will eventually be eliminated by the times..."

"Yourst, I appreciate your accomplishments in magic inscriptions, after all...you were once an alchemist as famous as the legendary mage Nicholas..."

"The era of rule by man is coming to an end. Following that trash of Yorok will not bring you a better future. Instead of continuing to waste time in your country castle, you should be loyal to me. I will give you a better future." future."

"Yourst, I'll give you three days to think about it. After three days... I'll ask you again."

"Should I become my follower, or should I become a blood servant who has completely lost his freedom and will!"

After finishing speaking, Elder Maxim turned and left.

"Wait! Where are my blood descendants!"

shouted Urst.

Elder Maxim paused slightly, and said lightly:

"Don't worry, those blood descendants who followed you are still alive."

"Of course, whether they live or die next depends on your choice..."

After finishing speaking, Elder Maxim said no more, but left the room and locked the door behind him.

Only Yurst was left looking at the dim room with a gloomy expression.

"Boom!"

He slammed his fist on the wall, his already pale face was ashen.

...

Earl Ulster did not know how long he had been locked up.

The passage of time could not be felt in the dimly lit room, and even the candles on the table had been removed. Obviously, his long lifespan had made him lose his sensitivity to time, but at this moment, he still felt extremely tormented.

He didn't know if the Duke of Yorok had discovered his disappearance, and he didn't know where the blood descendants who followed him were now.

He hoped that the Duke would find out about his disappearance.

But reason told him that this possibility was infinitely close to zero.

Three days is extremely long for him who needs to make a decision under pressure, but for a Duke of Blood who is waiting for his subordinates to report on their work, three days is just a blink of an eye.

Earl Ulster knew he had to make a decision.

He knew that Elder Maxim would never let him go away safely.

He seems to have a choice, but in fact he has no choice.

Or, betray the Duke he followed and desecrate the glory of the blood clan.

Or, stick to your heart, but in the end you are destined to be unable to escape being manipulated and become a blood servant...

"This is not a choice! No matter what... I will eventually become Elder Maxim's tool to deal with the Duke, and even the Great Elder!"

"The Gorefiend Cult has no bottom line, and Abaddon the Gorefiend is a paranoid lunatic. They are by no means the future of Ness!"

"Cooperating with the Gorefiend Cult will only make the Ness clan a tool of the Gorefiend Grand Duke, and become a stepping stone for him to come to this world!"

"No wonder His Majesty the Duke said that my trip might decide the future of Ness... Elder Maxim is the senior executive elder of the elders. Over the years, I am afraid that he has won over countless blood descendants!"

"No! I must find a way to report everything to the Duke! I must warn you! Elder Maxim has already started using Shedete's sacrificial staff to create taboo blood slaves. He is already crazy. He wants to Destroying the bloodline foundation of the Nice clan that has lasted for thousands of years, he is going to destroy the entire Nice clan!"

The more Earl Urst thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

However, when he looked around, he felt depressed again.

He is locked up.

All his belongings were confiscated.

Even the power of his blood was temporarily imprisoned.

Now, how can he have any way to contact the Duke?

Fake surrender, looking for opportunities?

No, it's impossible. Elder Maxim will never give him a chance. Once he surrenders, the other party will inevitably force him to sign an unbreakable blood contract. Even if he is not a blood slave, he will lose the ability to resist the other party.

Think quickly!

Think about what else to do!

Earl Urst couldn't help getting up and pacing up and down the room.

However, it has no effect at all except to make yourself more anxious.

At this time, Yurst suddenly regretted it.

He regretted that he returned from Beigang in such a hurry, regretted that he left too eagerly.

If he stayed in the Northland for a while, or more directly, if he had communicated with his Duke through the communication crystal before leaving the Northland, he might not be as passive as he is now.

Maybe he will still be attacked and hijacked, but at least...he can pass on the results of the negotiation with Castel in advance, instead of being locked up without even getting the news out like now.

He could even foresee that Elder Maxim would definitely attribute his disappearance to Castel!

etc……

Castel?

Seeming to have thought of something, Yurst paused.

There seemed to be a flash of light in his mind. At this moment, Earl Ulster suddenly had a bold idea...

"etc……"

"Since I can't get in touch with the Duke, then...can I try to pray to Briar Rose?"

As soon as this thought came out, Yurst himself was taken aback.

It is very dangerous to pray to a god that he doesn't believe in, let alone he doesn't know the details of that god.

In fact, many times, praying to an Ability God will not get a response, at most it will only welcome a momentary gaze with the power of "pollution".

However, when Yurst had this crazy idea, he couldn't hold back this daring idea anymore.

Even the idea of ​​praying to other gods for help is essentially the same as that of Elder Maxim who took refuge in Abaddon, the Blood Demon Grand Duke...

"No...it's not the same. Believers are often influenced by gods. Judging from the communication with Earl Castel, that mysterious god doesn't look like a crazy god..."

"Although I haven't gained mutual trust with Castel, the other party has no possibility of refusing to cooperate, and behind this... there must be the acquiescence of the gods!"

"Not to mention... I also promised to provide a way to restore divine power!"

"From this point of view, that mysterious god is likely to answer my call!"

"Not only that, although the Holy King's Court has covered up to a certain extent, but I know that some time ago, the Gorefiend Cult tried a failed god descending ceremony, and it was none other than the one who stopped the Gorefiend Cult at that time." Respect the mysterious god!"

"The mysterious god behind Castel... nine out of ten still have an irreconcilable enmity with the Gorefiend Cult!"

"The enemy of the enemy is a friend, and the Ness clan...has what that mysterious god needs!"

"Pray to him, maybe...he will really look down and help!"

Thinking of this, Yurst took a deep breath, and his expression gradually became firmer.

Instead of bowing his head to the notorious Gorefiend Grand Duke, he would rather show his favor to the one behind Castel!

After making up his mind, Yurst didn't hesitate anymore, he bit his fingertips casually, and drew the mysterious symbol he had seen in the dim light...
