Chapter 85: The Unicorn Goddess

Hunters are very powerful.

It may be because of beliefs that hunting is a very common part of their lives, which makes hunters have far more combat experience than other professionals. If you want to use a simpler analogy, it is that many hunters have their own elite templates, and it is much more difficult to deal with than ordinary professionals. It seems that the believers served by priests related to the killing category are quite difficult. This was the case with the God of Slaughter back then, and it was also the case with the God of Murder later. Even the followers of the God of Hunting and Killing are equally tough.

It seems that the Hunting Church is now in a state of being enemies everywhere, but under Sauron's observation, they have not been at a disadvantage because of this.

first.

Hunters are used to operating in wilderness areas, which makes it difficult for many enemies to find their tracks. Even if someone finds their tracks, the final result will undoubtedly be Like the ranger who believed in the queen of the forest, he became a prey in their eyes.

The hunter's loss during this period was not small, but it was not as big as imagined.

Judging from the size and traces of the camp, Sauron found that more than ten people had been lost here after the camp was built. In comparison, other church forces probably lost more people.

It's something to be afraid of!

That is, after actually spying deep into the enemy, Sauron discovered a very serious thing.

The members of the Church of Hunting are generally quite strong, and there are basically no hunters whose strength is below the third level, and the general professional level is above level 10.

If their respective biological talent bonuses are added, their strength will be much stronger.

In contrast, the strength of Sauron's church is uneven, and the middle and high-level church members are obviously inferior to the old hunting church that has developed for a long time.

Taking this camp as an example, there is actually a semi-legendary half-orc. Five high-level hunters.

None of this matters!

One thing that really made Sauron think deeply was whether the priesthood of [Hunting] would have the ability to rapidly improve one's strength like the priesthood of killing.

I mentioned it a little earlier.

The ability on the soul level can increase the proportion of soul energy absorbed after killing an enemy. The increase in killing experience is about 5% - 25%.

The hunting church has so many middle and high-level believers, I am afraid it has a lot to do with the power of the priesthood.

the next day.

When Sauron got up and moved. He found that the body of the elf ranger who believed in the queen of the forest was gone, but there was a piercing skull in the hands of the burly orc leader.

This is a special ritual for hunters.

Orcs believe that this can take the power of the enemy, and after killing a powerful enemy, absorb part of their power into themselves.

Such rituals are carried out in different ways depending on the race.

Ogres and gnolls believe that eating the enemy or digging out their hearts and eating them can gain the power of the enemy, while some werewolves think that they should eat the enemy's heart, and some think that after finishing a hunt, they can wake up by screaming at the moon. The more ancient power in the body and so on. Such rituals are common among hunters. So many of these hunters have rich 'collections'. (Remarks: In the area of ​​ancient shamanism, many tribes believe that through some rituals, the power of the killed enemy can be obtained.)

………………

The hunters were in action the next afternoon.

This time, a total of 13 hunters were dispatched. If Sauron was added, it would be exactly 14 people. The most powerful of them was the burly orc leader, whose professional level should be between 18-20. Followed by five professional level hunters around 15-18. The rest are basically masters with a career level of 12 or higher.

Their target is unicorns.

Unicorns are one of the favorite prey of Mara, the god of hunting. Unicorns are rarely seen on the material plane. Only those near the depths of the elf forest can be fortunate enough to see these powerful and beautiful creatures.

Unicorns in the material plane are not very strong.

Because some of them have been crossed with flying horses and steeds, their bloodlines have been mixed a lot. Lost the original celestial creature template.

This is how wildebeests are born.

However, even ordinary wildebeests have a biological level of about 3-6, and pure-blooded unicorns generally have a biological level of 15 or above. The template for bringing celestial creatures is 20+, and adding the word sacred will increase the challenge level by 1-3.

Their protector is [Unicorn Goddess] - Larui.

The hatred between the God of Hunting and the Unicorn Goddess has lasted for a long time, and the relationship between them may be much hotter than most forests.

The Unicorn Goddess loves to roam as a deity of chaos. She is also somewhat volatile in character. However, once she believes that the other party is trustworthy, she will show a loyal friendship, and she will never abandon a disciple in trouble. This is very similar to the [Queen of the Forest], when she has to face battle, Lurue can be a very difficult enemy, but what she loves most is all kinds of light-hearted banter, clever puzzles, novel discoveries, and life. The joys of exploration.

This goddess is relatively casual in her private life, probably because she is a divine unicorn.

Lurue's church does not have any formal priesthood system, nor does it have any shrines or shrines built in her name. Although some races such as unicorns, pegasus, and wise owls respect her as the patron goddess of their own races, the vast majority of her followers are due to their unique abilities (such as the [Enlightenment] spell those) to awaken the outcasts. [Remarks: Enlightenment can bestow wisdom on animals. 】

There is a passage that records the goddess like this:

"Lara's church holds an annual carnival all night long, full of all kinds of wild banter and noise. There are many wild rides in the countryside or across the sky that night, and all kinds of exaggerated comic skits , witty speeches, ironic debates, and romantic confessions. Many unicorns will also choose to mate and reproduce on that night, and believers will also have their own joys. Occasionally, the incarnation of the goddess will appear in such celebrations.”

The Unicorn Goddess hated Mara the god of hunting very fiercely, and she extremely condemned the crime of the King of Beasts assisting the red-robed wizard to create black evil unicorns. Although the red-robed wizard society has long since disappeared in the long river of history, there are still some black and evil unicorns remaining in the plane. Relatively speaking, Mara, the god of hunting, is also happy to taste the blood from the throat of the unicorn goddess, and has always regarded her as another target worth hunting.

………………

night time.

A group of hunters gradually approached the interior of the elf forest. The hatred between the God of Hunting and the Unicorn Goddess has lasted for thousands of years, so these church believers are eager to try to hunt unicorns.

These hunters are well planned.

They sneaked into the rear at midnight, and left quickly after finishing the hunt. They had already detected the nearby terrain, so even if the elves nearby reacted, a hunting ritual had already ended.

Sauron does not want such a thing to happen.

Therefore, he thought that although the hunt this time should be successful, it should also be discovered by the elves. It would be best if more than half of these hunters died here. (to be continued ~^~)
