Chapter 393 Divine Sacrifice
The scepter's light didn't last long; it dimmed after the wolf-headed priest finished reciting the strange incantation.
After doing all this, the wolf-headed priest closed his eyes, as if waiting for something.
Another moment of silence...
call!!!!!
Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and a cold wind enveloped the entire village. The wind blew on the kneeling people, making them shiver.
call! ! ! !
Ouch! ! !
A sound came from afar, a sound that resembled both howling winds and the howling of snow wolves. Upon hearing this peculiar sound, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
call! ! ! !
Suddenly, a white wind appeared above the village, circled the village three times in the air, and then flew straight towards the people at the altar.
Awooo!!!
It was that familiar voice again, but this time it wasn't coming from a distance; it was coming from very close to them.
Everyone kept their eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them, for fear of angering that powerful being.
Hehehe!
Looking at the people trembling because of its immense power, the white, evil wind seemed to let out a chilling sneer.
Instead of continuing to tease these ants, the white, evil wind, howling like a snow wolf, quickly turned its gaze to the large number of offerings on the altar.
start.....
It seems that everyone is in a good mood when it's mealtime. Upon seeing the mountain of offerings, the white evil wind let out a joyful hum.
Seemingly impatient, the white evil wind quickly began to feed, flying above the pile of offerings and then inhaling them in a whirlwind.
What's quite amazing is that after he used his evil wind to suck up the offerings, they began to slowly disappear under the influence of his evil wind, as if they had really been eaten by the wind.
It has to be said that the evil wind devoured the offerings too quickly. The mountain of offerings was quickly reduced to a small portion. The offerings that the villagers had saved up were wiped out by the evil wind in just a few minutes.
hiccup~
A faint hiccup sounded, and with the last gust of evil wind, the offerings carefully prepared by the villagers were devoured.
However, the ritual did not end there. After the evil wind, or so-called deity, finished consuming the offerings, it did not leave immediately. Instead, it hovered in the air, as if...
Taking a nap?
Post-meal digestion is still very important.
Only then did everyone dare to open their eyes, and then look at the deity they had always worshipped with respectful eyes.
This is also the only time they can come into contact with the gods. After each sacrifice, the gods will take a short nap after consuming the offerings.
At this time, the villagers would report to the deity about the village's recent situation, along with some flattering words.
But today seems a little different...
Ta da~
"Isaac! Azshara, what are you doing?"
With a series of clattering sounds, everyone stared in shock at the two brothers who were walking towards the platform.
Standing up during the sacrificial ceremony and walking towards the high platform where the gods rest is extremely disrespectful!
No one knew what the brothers were up to, only that their behavior was wrong, so the people who were closer began to quietly try to dissuade them.
As for why they didn't just get up and pull them back...
Because they didn't dare to get up either...
And so, under the shocked gazes of the crowd and the furious expression of the wolf-headed priest, the two brothers walked onto the circular platform.
thump!
Upon seeing the two brothers kneel down without saying a word after they went up on stage, the wolf-headed priest's angry expression softened considerably.
"What are you doing...?"
Seeing that the deity did not speak, the wolf-headed priest hesitated for a moment before asking for their thoughts.
However, the two brothers' words made the wolf-headed priest, who had just calmed down, stiffen up again.
"Please, Gods, save our village!!!"
The two brothers spoke in unison, suppressing their fear despite their apprehension towards the gods, and shouted in their loud voices.
Upon hearing this, the wolf-headed priest's expression turned angry and fearful. He knew what the two brothers were going to say as soon as they opened their mouths.
It's still about the illness.
However, I had actually discussed this matter with the deity privately, but the deity did not respond.
Sometimes, no response is a response in itself.
Later, knowing full well what was going on, he never mentioned the matter to the gods again. But unexpectedly, these guys who had received the gods' blessings dared to openly bring up such a difficult issue for the gods on the day of the sacrifice.
That's absolutely outrageous!
"Oh!"
"whats the matter?"
To the wolf-headed priest's surprise, the deity actually responded to him, and from the tone of his voice, it was as if he were a god who was helping his believers solve their problems.
"Thank you, God, for giving us this opportunity!"
"Is such that......"
Seeing that the deity had responded, the two brothers became excited and, after respectfully kowtowing several times, quickly began to tell their story.
It turns out that the village of Dock has been plagued by a strange disease for some time now. No one remembers when the disease started, but everyone remembers how terrifying it was.
People infected with the disease will not have any symptoms at first, but later their bodies will become extremely weak, and they will start to feel weak all over and dizzy.
As the virus continues to spread, people's symptoms are becoming increasingly frightening.
Hair loss, coughing up blood, phantom pain, prolonged illness and various other negative symptoms began to appear on the patients one after another, causing them great suffering and pain.
In the end, people even lost their lives because of it!
At first, only a few people were infected by this disease, so people didn't pay much attention to it. But as more and more people were infected, people began to take it seriously and study this special disease.
However, to everyone's surprise, even the village's most powerful wolf-headed priest was helpless against the plague.
People began to feel fear, but fortunately the disease was not spreading quickly, and even after so much time had passed, only a few dozen people had been infected.
But people later discovered that this unhappiness was gradual. As time went by, the epidemic spread faster and faster, more and more people were infected, and more and more people died from the epidemic.
Now everyone was truly terrified...
