Act 249 The Holy Land of Attuk

Seeing the roof appearing in the mist, Brando couldn't help but feel a little impatient. What he wanted to do most now was to find a place to take a good bath and eliminate the weird smell on his damn clothes. one time. ◎, Although the stench of sulfur permeating the robes of the Goat-Headed Cultists is a sign of their identity, the strong smell of sweat on the robes mixed with some unknown stench is superfluous, even though they have just entered the swamp. It had been a few hours, but Brando was already feeling a little dizzy.

It's true that he has pretended to be a Sheep-Headed Cultist in the game, but the game is a game after all. Although it is said to be 100% realistic, it seems that there are still many things that are not realistic. Just this slight difference made him almost cry when he was once innocent.

There are many hotels in the town. In the end, Brando chose a hotel called 'Token's Boots' that didn't seem to have a very good environment. It wasn't that his current wealth couldn't afford to stay in the most luxurious and comfortable hotel in town. It's not that he doesn't want to find a slightly clean and comfortable place in this damp and cold place to take care of these things. In fact, before that, Her Royal Highness the nun Princess Magdale almost couldn't walk when she passed the neatest, cleanest and most comfortable hotel in town.

His student, Miss Huang Huo, also stared at the luxurious hotel opposite the hotel where they were staying with a look of reluctance and lingering. She wanted to speak several times, but in the end she held back her words. Words come.

Because everyone understands that what they are playing now is a group of impoverished lower-class believers. In fact, like most cult organizations, most of the lower-class believers of the Sheep Head Cult are impoverished. Except for a very few people, They live in the most luxurious hotels like this. It's obviously going to be eye-catching.

Brando didn't want to attract attention, so he could only aggrieve himself. Fortunately, although this hotel is small, it is well-equipped. It also has slightly clean single rooms and a bathing area. It is cold and humid in the swamp. For travelers, keeping a clean and comfortable bath is obviously a necessary requirement.

Brando first sent the two ladies and his students to deal with his 'private affairs' - which was actually taking a shower and changing clothes. Fortunately, there is such a thing as magic in this world. Cleaning clothes only requires a little space and a few minutes, so it won't be a waste.

And he himself and Mr. Liu went to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel to inquire about the news. After buying a glass of wine, he found out some information about the Holy Land of Attuk. Just as Brando expected, this information was not a secret, because the Sheep-headed believers gathered in Tauchik because of This holy place.

This holy land is one of the sealed places of the great demon Akentu, the same as the Black Fire Cult. Goat-headed believers worship demons, but they don't worship all demons. In fact, they only have one real master, and that is the King of Purgatory - Goat-headed Akentu.

The sheep-headed Arkentu once led an army of demons to invade the surface world, but was defeated by the Dragon of Darkness. Its soul was put into a crystal ball by the Buga people and sealed secretly. The location of this sealed place has disappeared after the Battle of the Saints. There are many areas in the world that are suspected of being sealed by Akentu, and Tauchik is one of them.

Only then did Brando understand the reason why so many Sheephead believers gathered in this place. Obviously, the living sacrifice ceremony held in Hadran this time was precisely to open the seal of the Atuk Holy Land. This is not the first time such a situation has happened in Taoqik. There have been several other ritual sacrifices in the past, but they all failed without exception. But what surprises Brando is that according to the Sheephead believers, the Hoduli family, the host of the ceremony, seems to be particularly confident in this living sacrifice ceremony - the gray scepter was sent to the entire Taoist community half a month ago. All sheep-headed believers in the Chik area and even surrounding areas initiated a call-out order.

Speaking of the cultist's living sacrifice ceremony, this was not the first time he had seen it in this world.

He had encountered such a large-scale ceremony once before in Rushta, the imperial capital of the Cruz people. The host that time was a tree shepherd, and the ceremony was quite successful. The Dragon Queen not only successfully summoned the evil god Frederick, but also almost Use Fridrich to kill the will of dusk.

Thinking back on experiences in the elemental realms. He couldn't help but be a little distracted. Fortunately, Delphine came down from upstairs at this time. She seemed to have dealt with her personal problems. She came to Brando's side, cleverly took over the conversation, and asked the hotel owner—— He was also a sheep-headed believer in black robes—talking about the issues related to that ritual ceremony and the Holy Land of Atuk.

There is little common language between Goathead believers. The only common language they have is their faith, so Delphine's questions about it did not attract much attention. Although the prime minister's daughter had never heard of the term Atuk Holy Land before, when she talked about this place, she seemed to have seen it with her own eyes and had a deep understanding of it.

The boss was convinced of this, and before the conversation, Delphine quickly came up with more things. Only then did the three of them learn that the Holy Land of Atuk was not in the Tochik Swamp, but in a sea area called the Green Sea off Port Hadran.

This information immediately caught Brando's attention. Before his trip, he had already learned from Queen Madala that the realm of stagnation might be in the center of the Dead Moon Inner Sea, which was undoubtedly on the sea. The location of the Stasis Realm is about the mystery of the emerald. The sea area called the 'Green Sea' obviously aroused the nerves of the three of them.

Brando turned around, Delphine's face was hidden under the hood and his expression could not be seen clearly, but the prime minister's daughter was silent for a moment, and quietly drew a few numbers on the table with her fingers dipped in wine. Brando saw that it was the result of several calculations, and those results were exactly the declination of the sun. In repeated discussions with Delphine every day for a month, he had become extremely familiar with it. The location is obviously just off the coast of Hadran.

Brando immediately understood the meaning of the prime minister's daughter. Apparently she also thought that the Holy Land of Atuk might be the place pointed to by the Emerald Mystery, or at least related to it. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? There are so many 'secret places' appearing in it.

The three exchanged views, and Brando turned the topic back to the ruler of Hadland and the upcoming living sacrifice ceremony. In fact, in any other area of ​​Warnd, there is anything about such cultists. It is impossible to bring the topic of living sacrifice rituals to the table, but Tauchik is obviously such a weird place. This is the true territory of the Sheep-Headed Cultists, where beliefs other than dusk and demons are the only ones. It's taboo.

When Brando accidentally asked why the head of the Hoduli family was so confident this time, the hotel owner showed a strange look on his face; Brando was stunned and then realized that this person He might have known something, which surprised him. He had not expected to get an answer to this question.

Of course, the information the other party has may also be unreliable gossip, but it doesn't matter. The more information channels at this time, the better. So after Brando paid the extra 'drink money', the hotel owner relaxed appropriately.

He told the three of them with a mysterious face that one of his cousins ​​was living in Hadland and was trusted by the city lord - of course, Brando tentatively believed that such a shabby family seemed to be about to close down due to poor management. The cousin of the owner of the inn was a confidant of the head of the Hoduli family - and the latter continued to tell them that based on the secret information sent back by his cousin, the Hoduli family had accidentally captured a dragon this time.

A real giant dragon, not a sub-dragon creature with a dragon in its name that has little to do with golden blood.

Brando does not believe this at all. The dragons in this world are truly creatures second only to gods. Even young dragons like Aloz are extremely powerful, let alone real adult dragons. . The best among the dragons, legendary dragons such as Owenroth and Fossia, are so powerful that they would make demigods tremble.

A mortal slaying a dragon?

That's just a legendary story. Although there are indeed several examples in history, the protagonists of the stories are all legendary heroes such as the Azure Knight. Who is the head of the Hoduli family? Can it be compared with those heroes in epic poems?

Not to mention how dare the Hoduli family sacrifice a giant dragon alive? Unless the sheep-headed believers in the Tochik area are really impatient, once the news gets out, even if it is a lie, the dragons will probably raze the place to the ground because of the insult.

But just when Brando thought he had bought a meaningless piece of fake news with money, there was a sudden commotion in the hotel.

Then he heard a scolding coming from the direction of the hall:

"Damn brat, ah——"

The sound suddenly stopped.

Then there was a scream and the sound of tables and chairs turning over.

Brando turned around subconsciously, thinking for the first time that his student was in trouble again. He, Mr. Liu and Delphine pushed away the chairs and stood up, and the three of them held the robe without leaving a trace. The hilt below.

But as soon as Brando turned around, he was stunned for a moment, because what he saw was not the phoenix fire, but a scene that surprised him.
