The Amber Sword

Act 260 King of Purgatory Akentu (Part 1)

Brando and others slowly moved forward with the flow of people. When they entered the main hall through a long corridor, they saw many images of spider maids on the reliefs on the walls on both sides of the corridor. Even at the end of the corridor, there were There was a tall statue that was not destroyed in time. It was covered with a layer of black cloth. It didn't take much to figure out that it was a statue of the Spider Goddess. Please search () for the most complete view! The fastest updated

It seems that this temple was originally supposed to be a temple of the dead moon. The sheep-headed believers had not had enough time to occupy Nestlé, so even the renovation was only completed in a hurry and was superficial.

However, the other Sheep-headed believers were not surprised by this. They didn't even look at the statue covered with black cloth. They either kept their heads down and moved forward, or they were discussing something in whispers.

Demons advocate chaos, and their followers cannot be too orderly. Not making trouble at gatherings is the limit. It is obviously not possible to achieve the quiet and solemn effect of the Temple of Flame and the weekly gatherings of believers in the Temple. What is possible is not only impossible, but may also displease the devil they believe in.

The believers passed through the corridor and entered a hall. This hall was naturally also in the style of the Dead Moon. However, the statue at the north end of the hall had been destroyed, and the base where the statue was originally placed was empty, and no replacement had been placed. From here on It can also be seen that the Goatheads did not occupy this temple for very long.

Brando noticed that he did not see any relevant clergy along the way. The owner of this original Temple of the Dead Moon must not have a good end. He was probably a prisoner, and maybe even a living sacrifice. maybe.

After the believers entered the hall, they each found their own seats and sat down. Those who did not have seats also stood in different corners. Soon a senior priest of the Goat-Headed Cultists came to preside over the ceremony. This ceremony was very simple, that is, the blood of the black goat was sprinkled on the believers. Brando, Delphine and Magdale had already known about the Goat-Headed Cultists. They understood it very well, so they were prepared in their hearts and were not too resistant. However, Huanghuo and Mr. Liu were not used to it. The blood of domestic animals was regarded as filthy in Jiufeng. It is a great insult to pour animal blood on others, let alone upper-class nobles like them.

Fortunately, both of them knew what was going on. No matter how uncomfortable they were, they could only grit their teeth and endure it. Although Huang Huo almost couldn't help but draw his sword several times and slashed the priest who shot the smelly sheep blood into her body. Two halves, but in the end he couldn't make a move.

However, when Fang Qi faced a few bits of sheep's blood flying towards him, he subconsciously dodged and let the sheep's blood fall on the ground of the temple. Fortunately, he was at the back of the temple. Between the two pillars, the light is dim. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but the senior priest didn't realize that the sheep's blood he popped up was empty.

This made Fang Qi breathe a huge sigh of relief in his heart and secretly said that it was a good thing. In fact, he was not afraid that his identity would be exposed, but that he was afraid of ruining Brando's affairs. If Brando wanted to recover the Yulong Holy Sword from him, what to do? It's sad to say that the Yulong Holy Sword was originally a sacred object of the Guiche clan, but now he seems to have become the one who took over the Nestle.

But Fang Qi understood the gap between himself and that damn guy, even though he was reluctant. But he also had to admit that even though he was a genius of Gui Che's lineage that only appeared for a thousand years, he was not good enough in front of that man. If he wanted to keep the Yulong Holy Sword, he had to meet the other party's requirements, and then he had to See if the other person is in a good mood.

Fortunately, the Guiche clan has always believed in the 'truth' that the strong are respected, so Fang Qi did not feel too aggrieved by this. What made him feel aggrieved was the smelly attire he was currently wearing. This was the compromise he had to make in order to enter Hadran. Of course, he didn't necessarily want to enter this port, but when he thought of having to stay alone in the swamp for several days, this aloof genius had to bow to reality.

This stinky robe of a sheep-headed cultist was almost the limit of his endurance. How could he tolerate someone else sprinkling the blood of domestic animals on him?

His evasive movements were purely a subconscious expression of disgust in his heart. Fortunately, no one noticed.

Fang Qi felt happy. But he didn't expect that his actions had already fallen into the eyes of Delphine. The prime minister's daughter immediately reported to Brando, and Brando naturally kept a secret record for this guy in his heart.

He was not as naive as Fang Qi, perhaps because he knew the Sheep-Headed Cult better. He understood that the senior priest of the Sheep-Headed Cult must have noticed the abnormality a long time ago, but the demons were cunning and cruel, and they behaved like their masters. Naturally, most of their followers flock together, especially those who can climb to the upper echelons of these cult organizations. Most of them are originally elites in various fields, and they are even more cunning and shrewd. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the beliefs of the Five Temples to dominate and treat the heretics Survive in a defensive environment.

How could such a person be careless? The high-ranking priest must have noticed the strength gap between himself and Fang Qi. He remained silent on the surface, but privately he would immediately mobilize manpower. What's more, even if the other party really doesn't notice it, once the ceremony is in progress and Akentu's projection arrives, he will find that there is no smell of black sheep blood on someone's body.

Brando secretly screamed, but he understood that he was also responsible, because the incident happened suddenly when he came to this secret gathering. For a moment, he forgot to remind others to pay attention. He also did not expect that there were three nines in his team. Fengren didn't know anything about the Yangshou Cultists, and he didn't expect that Fang Qi could deceive his father to this extent.

However, although he knew in his heart that Fang Qi might have been exposed, he did not show any abnormality on the surface. He just winked at Delphine and asked her to calm down. Then he turned around and asked a believer beside him:

"My companion, I just arrived here from Maltahar. It seems that I can still make it in time to participate in this grand event?"

The sheep-headed believer was stunned, but he did not show any alertness, because in the past two months, believers have been rushing to Deharan from other areas, and now the population of Deharan City - or rather The Yangshou believers have more than doubled its permanent population, which has led to rising prices and more incidents of provoking troubles. After all, the Yangshou believers are also human beings, and they also have to face problems such as birth, old age, illness, and death.

Earlier, the residents of Hadran might have been a little wary, fearing that spies or spies from the Temple of the Dead Moon would be mixed into this 'sacred ceremony', but after that period of fresh energy passed, the locals began to Seeing these outsiders look disgusting, they can't even care about their friendship as church members, because after all, no one wants their original income to shrink and the things they can buy in the market to become half of their original value or even less.

Under such circumstances, when the natives of Hadland are approached by someone on the street, the chance of encountering an outsider is probably greater than the chance of encountering a neighbor. Therefore, if they want to generate any vigilance, after a while And after the repeated rumblings, I am afraid they have all subsided.

Not to mention that the 'brother' Brando was asking about at this moment was actually an outsider. The sheep-headed believer came from Ota, east of Hadland, but he was just one step ahead of Brando and others.

So he nodded and said: "My companion, you are lucky. Although Master Knud announced that the ceremony will be advanced, you happened to arrive one day early. If you had to be two days late, I am afraid you would be too late."

Brando was not surprised by this answer. In fact, he had already captured some interesting content from the chats of the sheep-headed believers around him. If Fang Qi hadn't cheated him, he might have chosen a more suitable one. time to cut into the topic - for example, after the secret gathering ceremony is held, there will be a small gathering among the Yang-headed believers. At that time, the atmosphere will be more active and chaotic, and the vigilance of the Yang-headed believers will will also be reduced to a minimum.

But now that he was about to be exposed, he couldn't care so much. He could only take a risk and seize the time. After listening to the words of the sheep-headed believer, Brando deliberately showed a "surprised" look and asked: "Ahead of time, my companion, did something happen in the middle?"

'My companion' is a term commonly used among Sheephead believers. This term has the same meaning as 'my brother, father and brother' among the followers of the Temple of Fire. Brando deliberately uses this term here, In fact, it was also to lower the other party's vigilance, but his performance was also shown to the blind man, because the man didn't care about Brando's identity at all, and only said enthusiastically:

"It is true that something big has happened, my companions. I heard that the undead have been defeated. They are about to abandon the land of eternal death and retreat northward. This is the great victory of the will of dusk, and our Lord is about to come to this world. , the day when the world ends and the judgment is coming, victory is not far away from you and me, my companions——"

Brando's eyes widened, wondering when the undead were defeated? It was obviously because of the fall of the goddess of the dead moon that she had to abandon the Land of Eternal Death. In the battle in Fenhotos, it was clearly the Earth Legion that had won another victory. It seemed that not only the ruling institutions of the major empires would For the sake of the stability of his own regime, he spread false news and whitewashed the peace. He did not expect that the subordinates of the Twilight Dragon, who represented one of the ultimate wills of the world, would also be virtuous. This made him feel disappointed, and he was full of feelings for the businessman's subordinates. Feeling of contempt.

However, his expression in the eyes of the sheep-headed cultist became one of shock and disbelief. This expression was not surprising, because when he first heard the news, he had the same expression on his face. .
