Chapter 33: Return to Morvia (3)

Stannis turned his head and stared at Syworth, "Are you sure?" ”

His expression and gaze made Seaworth, the leader of the mercenaries who had experienced a lot of battles, a little chilled, and hurriedly said: "Several of them are old men from the 'Angry Group', they are very sophisticated, and they shouldn't talk nonsense......

"Then why didn't you report it earlier!"

Stannis said coldly: "Even if that rumor is just nonsense, there must be a reason for this rumor, if the report is true, it means that at least one powerful spellcaster intervened in the battle of Tanzan City, and cast a spell that severely damaged the fishmen, otherwise Tanzan City would not have survived the retreat of the fishmen." ”

"This is impossible, just the gang of people in Tanzan City, a group of dirt buns, who have never even left the Duchy of Moore, where can they get a powerful spellcaster......"

A young nobleman couldn't help but shout, but Stannis's cold gaze swept over, and his voice was immediately suppressed back into his throat.

"To continue sending people to the city of Tanzan, I must get accurate information."

Stannis returned his gaze to Seaworth and continued: "At the same time, let the army rest and recuperate, and be sure to set off in three days, and take advantage of the situation to flatten the city of Tanzan, and never let them recover!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Seaworth hurriedly shouted his order, although Stannis has been unconvinced since he took power, but he really has a very strong army, mercenaries, private soldiers and even bandits and bandits who have been secretly bought off for a long time, etc., under his integration, they are already quite powerful, although the military discipline is poor, but this does not matter to Stannis.

After a while, Stannis, who left the conference room, returned to his bedroom, when the door was closed, his cold and stern face also showed a look of exhaustion, although his previous purge was all against him, but at the same time, it was not to purge those capable nobles and officials, the Moore Principality is not a glorious empire, there are not so many talents to replace, so big and small things have to be handled by him personally, no matter how heavy his desire for power is, he is also tired.

And these nobles gathered around him, incompetent people accounted for the majority, but he couldn't help it, it was the combination of these incompetent people who were full of jealousy and despised and rejected by the family that he was able to successfully usurp the throne, if even these people ran away, then his subordinates were really useless.

This is the sorrow of a small country, but also the sorrow of the usurper, and it is even more tragic when the two sides are combined.

Walking to a cabinet with a spell seal, Stannis pressed his right hand on the seal, and a red light swept through the runes in the seal to light up one by one, and then the cabinet door opened with a "pop".

What was placed in such a well-guarded cabinet was not some kind of expensive jewelry, but a black statue, the statue was only the size of a palm, but the shape was quite hideous and even distorted, it was a monster with the head of six beasts of different kinds and shapes on the lower body, and the upper body was a beautiful woman with beautiful curvaceous curves, exuding an ominous power that made the heart palpitate.

Stannis quickly bit off the fingertips of his index fingers on both hands, and then smeared the blood from his fingertips on the statue, whispering as he smeared, "Great Lady of Emptiness, Lord of the Endless Abyss, Queen of the Astral Void, your followers are here to offer you a rich sacrifice......"

As the blood quickly smeared the statue, the eyes of the six monsters on the lower body of the statue lit up, and the beautiful face on the upper body raised the corners of the mouth slightly, which seemed to be very pleasant.

Stannis was overjoyed by the change, as it meant that the Lady of Silence, whom she believed in, answered his prayers, and was no longer as unresponsive as she had done countless times before.

At that moment, he hurriedly took out an object, it was actually a crystal skull, the volume of this crystal skull is not very large, only about two-thirds of the ordinary human skeleton, the crystal clear light flows, and there seem to contain countless points of light inside, and if you look closely, you will find that those points of light are actually vague human faces that are wailing......

Stannis bit the tip of his tongue, and then a mouthful of blood sprayed on the crystal skeleton, and countless points of light formed by the human face suddenly erupted from the skeleton's eye sockets and mouth, like bands of light swirling around the black statue, during which these faces let out a painful wail, but unfortunately no one could hear it.

The six heads of the monster on the lower body of the black statue all opened their mouths, and even though they saw that the countless human faces were sucked by these six heads, just like a dragon sucking water, these human faces were struggling desperately, but there was no meaning.

Soon, when all the human faces were absorbed by the monster six, a very strange sense of pleasure emanated from the statue, and then the beauty on the upper body of the statue suddenly opened a small mouth, and a pitch-black light shot out from it and shone on Stannis's eyebrows.

Stannis did not resist, but exclaimed with excitement and fanaticism, "Thank you, my lord, for your gift—"

The bulging green tendons and blood vessels suddenly appeared from the skin around Stannis's body, and his expression became hideous and distorted, as if he was suffering great pain, but when the pitch-black brilliance disappeared, his distorted expression also dissipated at the same time, and a cluster of pitch-black flames suddenly burned from his hand as soon as he raised his right hand.

"I can feel a powerful force stirring in my body, and the power of this black flame is unstoppable......"

Stannis excitedly muttered to himself, "Is this the power of legends...... Haha, I'm finally a legend! ”

Immediately, he saluted respectfully to the dark statue, whose light had dimmed, and said, "My lord, thank you for your strength, and I will use it to open your own path of faith!" ”

This time the statue did not respond again, and even the six monsters exuded a feeling that seemed to be powerless, Stannis quickly closed the cabinet door, and then reached out and pressed it, and the seal was activated again.

Lady Empty Silence, also known as the "Mother of All Things", is a very special god, because she was originally a god, she actually betrayed her vocation and threw herself into the abyss at the moment when the Endless Abyss invaded the continent of Thanreth, and also accepted the transformation of the will of the Abyss, becoming a very special existence that is neither a god nor a demon, and she later occupied a level in the Endless Abyss, and created countless various abyssal monsters with her own power, from which the name "Mother of All Things" comes from.
