Chapter 894: Plague War

Zhuifeng winked at the four of them, and the five of them walked into the square and sat cross-legged at the outermost corner.

The middle-aged man beside him cast a glance at the five people, and was slightly taken aback because he had never seen five people before in his memory.

Zhuifeng also saw the doubt in the other party's eyes, and took the initiative to explain: "We are businessmen from other places, and we just rushed to the village at night. It's not just that we are going to sacrifice the night snake at night, so we came here."

Zhuifeng's face remained the same, he talked freely, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

The middle-aged man nodded, and looked at the outfits of the few people again, then he no longer doubted, and continued to be fanciful. The contented expression on his face was almost ecstasy.

This guy ignored Zhuifeng, and instead sat down and chatted with him.

"Brother, do you still have this thing? We encountered a wild beast on the way across the Gobi, and the guy lost his business, and now this is the only thing left." Chasing the wind pointed at the middle-aged man's cigarette stick, and shook his hand again. Glass jars with tobacco leaves.

Before the middle-aged man could speak, Zhuifeng added: "We can exchange things!"

As he spoke, he took out a beautiful purple crystal pendant.

Looking at the pendant, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, this thing is not ordinary at first glance. It just so happens that I have admired the widow Wang in the village for a long time, maybe I can rely on this pendant to make my relationship go further?

"Isn't it just a few catalysts, wait!" The middle-aged man was afraid of chasing the wind and repenting, so he quickly got up, patted his pants, and ran back to get them.

These few people have learned a new title "catalyst".

After a while, the middle-aged man brought five catalysts, but instead of giving them to them directly, he pulled them aside and asked, "Are you sure you want to change it, and you don't regret it?"

Chasing the wind simply threw the amethyst pendant to the middle-aged man, the guy trembled in fright, and hurriedly caught it with his hands, for fear of breaking it and knocking it.

The middle-aged man did not hesitate, handed the catalyst to the five people, and then quickly returned to his position to perform the final ceremony.

The few people had the catalyst, their eyes were looking around, and after sitting cross-legged, they imitated the example, poured the dark green smoke powder into the tip of the pipe, and hesitated whether to light it or take a puff.

If this thing has side effects, all five people will explain it here.

think about it,

Everyone looked at the soda pork balls.

The soda pork ball thumped in his heart, his back went numb, and he whispered, "Why me?"

Tianxin Zero showed no mercy: "Because you are the weakest among us, even if there is a problem, we can carry you away without losing too much combat power."

The soda pork ball took another look at the president of his family, and found that Mitu Mowen's eyes were actually more determined than Tianxin Ling's, and he already had the intention of urging him. Knowing that there is no way to mediate, the soda pork ball sighed lightly, poured the powdered leaves into the tip of the cigarette stick, and then ignited it, like a righteous man who is in the wind and the water is cold, with determination and determination on his face.

The soda pork ball took a deep breath, and then imitated the villagers to blow out the smoke.

The mist floated in the air, as if there was gravity, and merged with other mist, gradually converging towards Shekou, where all of it was absorbed.

But suddenly, the soda pork balls shook, as if they had discovered something serious.

Seeing the expression on the soda pork balls, the four people around them immediately leaned over and asked curiously in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

The soda pork ball forcibly suppressed the excitement, and his eyes signaled them to be calm.

There was another burst of hesitation, and the eyes of the soda pork ball became brighter and full of energy, as if drinking a dozen cans of Red Bull.

From the perspective of the four people nearby, the performance of the soda pork balls is addictive!

Crash!

Just when everyone in the square was intoxicated by the fan atmosphere, suddenly there was a person in the square, with a dark green aura surging around him, and rushed straight up. Then, this energy rushed to a height of several meters, making a sharp turn and connecting with Shekou. The eyes of the stone snake god suddenly shone with green light, making it look even more bewitching.

Seeing such a strange scene, the village head immediately bowed down to the statue of the snake god, and countless villagers followed suit, bowing down to the statue.

"Thanks for the blessing of Night Snake, our village finally has a Night Snake Blessed One! No longer afraid of being threatened by other villages!"

"Thank you Night Snake!"

"Master Night Snake, I hope you can bless us and get married as soon as possible."

...

All kinds of voices sounded one after another, and the villagers unscrupulously told the statue of their inner desire for power.

The Night Snake Blessed One is even more embraced by the whole village. He is the first Blessed One in the village, and people regard him as hope and a hero.

The ceremony was completely over, and the villagers got up and left surrounded by their loved ones.

Chasing the wind went up to take a look, and the interface detected the data of the favored person.

name: unknown

Race: Tilith Human Race

Level: lv20+ (elite)

HP: 1100/1700

Energy value: 2300/3000

Attributes: Intellect 75, Energy 89, other unknown

Abilities: Infection, Toxin Bomb, Other Unknown

Evaluation: Night Snake Blessed, has initially mastered the plague ability

This person suddenly became an elite from a commoner, both attributes and life were greatly improved, and he even gained skills.

Zhuifeng probably knew the function of this so-called ritual.

The five of them also seized the time to find a dark and deserted corner, gathered together, and urged the soda pork ball to tell the truth.

The soda pork balls wanted to be a joke, but the other four people directly set them up and stared at them eagerly. The words that had already reached his throat, he swallowed them forcefully, and decided to confess leniently.

"I smoked this tobacco leaf at the time, and a prompt appeared in the system, reminding me to activate the sub-profession Plague Warlock, and asked me if I would use it as a second sub-profession. You also know that I don't have a sub-profession, so I simply chose it directly. , Listening to the name, this plague warlock is quite cool, and the activation method seems to be quite simple."

"That's all, isn't there something else?" Zhui Feng asked.

The soda pork balls suddenly remembered, patted the forehead and said: "Yes, there are! After I smoked the powder, didn't I spit out smoke rings. After I spit out the smoke rings, the system reminded me that I lost 10 blood and energy points. Afterwards, the smoke merged, and after entering Shekou, it reminded me to activate the sub-profession."

Suffering blood and blue?

This still surprised the four of them. If everyone loses blue blood and is absorbed by the stone statue...

This so-called ceremony is terrifying.

"What do you think?" Chasing Wind asked.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and didn't have a good idea for a while.

"Now that the soda pork balls have activated the plague warlock, who is also known as the Night Snake Blessed by the villagers, based on their attitude towards the Blessed, I think there is a lot to do by staying here. At least they can figure out a lot of things."

Zhuifeng still carries the idea from last time, starting from the village, and gradually understands the truth of the exploration, and from the information extracted from the excited shouts of the villagers, it can be concluded that a village without dependents will be bullied by other villages . In other words, although everyone has the same belief, there is still a competitive relationship between them.

And besides the Night Serpent, there seem to be other beliefs.

As the patron of soda pork balls, they can definitely gain a lot of status and voice in the village, which is also beneficial for them to obtain information.

Everyone thought about it and agreed with Zhuifeng's statement.

So after uploading the information, the group came to the old woman's house again in the dark.

Because of the friendly exchanges before, the old lady didn't doubt it too much. Moreover, the water given by the young man earlier tasted sweet and clear. After drinking it, the old lady felt her body was light and she felt much better, and she liked these people even more.

I just gave them a few old clothes, but I didn't expect them to give them such good things...

So when the five found the old woman again, the old woman treated them very warmly.

And when they heard that they wanted to stay in the village, the old woman hesitated.

"Aren't you traveling merchants? Why do you want to take root in the village?"

Zhuifeng's acting skills were overwhelming, he glanced at the old lady in shame, scratched his head and said: "Actually, we escaped from afar, and the two villages over there fought, but because there were no relatives, we couldn't beat each other. The whole village was enslaved, and we ran fast before we slipped out. We worked and bartered along the way, calling ourselves traveling merchants, and finally arrived here.”

The old woman understood, nodded, and asked again: "Then why did you suddenly decide to stay here?"

At this time, the soda pork ball stood up: "During the sacrifice just now, I accidentally awakened and became a favored person."

Hearing this, the old woman was startled suddenly: "You, have you awakened the married person?"

As he said that, he actually wanted to get off the bed and salute the soda pork balls.

This directly frightened the few people, and quickly stabilized the frantic old lady.

Although I haven't gone to a big place to take a look, even a small village at the lowest level is so fanatical about the snake-body god, which can be seen in the overall environment of Tilith.

The village harvests two dependents a day, which is happier than Chinese New Year.

Several people persuaded the old woman with good words, and planned to go to the village chief to explain the situation tomorrow morning. There are two guardians guarding the village, the strength of the small village is not as simple as not being bullied...

Two days after the first batch of players were released, the mechanical fortress got a lot of intelligence information. Link and the leaders finally had a clear grasp and understanding of Tilith's situation.

It is true that Tilith believes in a snake-body deity.

But on this basis it was divided into three factions.

They are White Snake, Evening Snake and Night Snake.

The three factions attack and annihilate each other. They consider themselves orthodox and regard the other two as evil.

The reason for this situation is that when the snake-body god first manifested, the first three people who became scrollers happened to be favored and awakened during these three different time periods. Therefore, each of them firmly believes that they are the orthodox favored by the gods, and build their own theoretical foundations based on this.

Originally, Tilith's ability system was very weak. Basically, the strongest person was measured by physical strength, and the physical strength was still in the range of normal people.

But when the snake-body god appeared one day, the favored one who received the gift gained a powerful ability, and since then opened the way of believing in Tiris on the entire planet.

Ordinary people want to get the favor of the snake spirit, they need to use "catalyst" and "medicine leaf powder" at different times to slightly increase their spiritual power, and there is a probability that the snake spirit will be affected by their own piety, so as to gain favor.

As for the origin of this method, it is said that it was spread when the snake spirit gave favor to the original favored one.

And after becoming a favored person, it is not a terminal.

After becoming a favored person, you need to perform rituals more piously and frequently in order to gain strength and improve your strength.

Because the communication ceremony needs to sacrifice one's own blood, the stronger the strength, the more one has to sacrifice.

Therefore, in Tilith, where the dependents are the unit of strength, the original social system and political power began to collapse, and a new system emerged instead.

All places are enshrining their own relatives to maintain a deterrent to the surrounding forces.

And if a power has no dependents, it will soon become a vassal of the surrounding powers, and will be regularly extorted for resources, or become a slave.

The dependents usually just practice and offer sacrifices, and all kinds of high-quality resources will be provided by villagers and forces. Once the struggle between regions or forces begins, the favored people will really come forward and solve the problem with their own abilities. And the means of the favored ones are mostly plagues and curses. Once a war starts, a large number of people will die.

And the higher the level of the favored person, in order to mobilize stronger power, they will use things like magic tools. The production of magical artifacts is the same as raising Gu, and the effect can only be improved if enough plagues or dead are absorbed. So behind a powerful magic weapon, there are often thousands of dead...

The senior executives of the Umbrella Foundation, after reading the summarized materials, have a general understanding of Tilith's situation.

"What do you think of Tiris' situation?" Link asked, but his eyes focused on Grace and Joyce.

Grace fell into silence and did not answer Link directly.

Joyce on the side took the lead in speaking: "This so-called snake-body god is definitely an evil belief!"

Joyce's words defined Tiris' belief.

"If I'm not mistaken, this so-called ceremony is just to sacrifice one's own flesh and blood to the gods, and it is an evil ceremony of a national nature."

Joyce keenly sensed that these series of events were not for the purpose of empowering the people of Tilith, but for better absorbing their flesh and blood energy.

Even the fight between them is a strategy of raising Gu. To be able to pass down such a complete sacrificial system, it can only be said that the water behind Tiris is very deep. There must be some unknown existence quietly hiding in the dark, absorbing all these benefits.

After Joyce finished speaking, Grace slowly raised her head and asked, "Is this magic weapon able to affect my emotions related to the necromancy contained in it?"

Link was silent for a moment: "If it's pure necromancy, then I have a way to do an experiment. But if my necromancy doesn't work for you, then it should be the worst case."

Although Link said so, he probably already knew what happened to Grace in his heart.

Version 3.0 was originally the recovery process of the God of Plague.

The curse sect is doing things everywhere, and the God of Plague, who is gradually recovering his mind, is also affecting the creatures of the universe in the way of spiritual undercurrent. Absorb the energy of flesh and blood and restore yourself.

Right now Tilith is a good example.

Everyone from top to bottom worshiped the snake-body god crazily. In fact, this snake-body god was just an illusion and confusion. The absorbed energy eventually benefited the God of Plague as nourishment for his recovery.

In order to survive, Grace used dark alchemy to exchange her vitality, at the cost of becoming a servant of the plague god.

Although Grace now has free will, the energy of the God of Plague in her body can't help but have an affinity for the magic weapon, affecting Grace's sanity, making her crazy, losing her mind, and completely becoming a puppet of the God of Plague.

To eliminate this effect, there are currently two ways.

One is to use alchemy to deprive Grace of the plague energy in her body. But the result of doing so is that Grace is very likely to give her life.

The other is to seal the plague god again or kill him completely. In this way, the plague energy loses the control of its original owner, and it will completely become individual energy, that is, Grace's own power.

But no matter what it is, it is difficult to achieve with the current power of the Umbrella Foundation.

Fortunately, Grace's situation is the same as the general trend of version 3.0.

As long as Link gathers the materials left in the five sages' clues, he can completely seal the plague god, and even kill him.

Others commented, too, but roughly as Joyce said.

This kind of evil belief throughout Tilith is devouring the free will of the people of Tilith, making them slaves to the plague, killing each other, and spontaneously dedicating their flesh and blood to the plague god, becoming the nourishment for the plague god to recover.

They are both victims and accomplices.

After listening to everyone's summary, Link got up slowly and said: "This kind of evil belief can spread throughout Tiris. It is completely impossible without black hands and masterminds behind it. Now that we have encountered this incident, we have Need to investigate clearly.

I have seen scenes from the future in my dreams. The plague covered the sky and affected many planets and civilizations. It can be seen that this is by no means an accident or an isolated case. Perhaps we will usher in a catastrophe in the near future, and now Tilith is a good time for us to cut in. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles. "

The leaders of the Umbrella Foundation have never doubted Link's ability to predict.

Numerous facts have proved that Link can indeed see the future, and even reverse the future. Now that the president said so, it seems that this plague will really affect many people in the future. Even if it is for self-protection, they have to investigate clearly, at least take some precautions.

"By the way, who contributed the most to this information?" Link asked again.

Penny looked at the collected information and said: "The biggest contributors are Chasing the Wind and Soda Pork Balls. They formed a five-member team and provided a lot of information. Among them, Soda Pork Balls even became the favored ones." , became a servant of the plague god, and had first-hand information on plague warlocks."

"I didn't expect them to be able to achieve this level. Last time, Rejoice, who was chasing after the wind, made a big splash on Slavin Star, and even became the spiritual leader of the planet. It seems that this time it will be the turn of soda pork balls." Lin Ke finished speaking and smiled, with a meaningful expression on his face.

Seeing this, the other leaders couldn't help being curious: "Has the head of state already had a second thought?"

Link nodded: "Since our people have penetrated into the enemy's interior, why not let him go one step further? The higher the position and the stronger the strength, the closer to the truth. Instead of aimlessly searching for it, or The arrival of the whole people like dumplings is too easy to startle the enemy. Since the opponent has the ability to drive the entire Tiris into madness, he must be prepared. It is better to let these aliens who have become favored ones all the way into the enemy's interior and approach its core , understand the facts."

The newly joined octopus Paul was stunned and couldn't help asking. "President, if these strangers become favored ones, wouldn't they become their servants? How can they serve us?"

The Ross Consortium that Paul belongs to is itself a representative of the chaotic faction. The moral level of members is low, except for the most basic moral bottom line, the rest are basically zero. Therefore, one of the things that often needs to be guarded against in the organization is the defection of subordinates. Therefore, Paul couldn't understand why the president was so relieved of the stranger.

Link smiled lightly, but did not directly answer Paul's question. Instead, he said meaningfully: "Paul, it seems that you don't know enough about the Umbrella Foundation, but it doesn't matter, you still have a lot of time to get to know them before you arrive at Port of Stars..."
