Chapter 639: The Night Goddess and Her Followers (2/3)
Deep in the southern swamps.
When Rollin and his servants returned to the Ares Outpost with their army, a strange and dark ritual was being carried out in this fog-shrouded place.
This is a little higher than the rest, a rare dry place in the swamp, and at the highest point, there is a stone altar.
The statue in the altar is a woman in a long dress, this woman is graceful, the long skirt is not one, but is made of several pieces of soft gauze stitched together, through the small gap, you can see a pair of beautiful slender thighs half-exposed and half-covered, extremely beautiful and provocative, and the woman's face is surrounded by a veil, no specific face can be seen, only a pair of slightly smiling eyes are revealed.
These eyes are very expressive, although they are smiling, but after looking at them for a long time, they are full of coldness, and it seems that there is an attractive whirlpool in them, which can suck the soul into it.
In front of the statue was a rectangular stone altar, on which a mutant snake man was collapsing, his whole body was limp, and he didn't seem to have the slightest strength, and if it weren't for the occasional heaval of his chest, it would be almost the same as a corpse.
On the altar next to the snake man, a large amount of blood was used to draw many mysterious and mysterious runes, and these runes emitted a faint cold light, which reflected the runes on the snake man.
Behind the altar, opposite the statue, a masked man in a black robe was kneeling upright, surrounded by many animal corpses, all of which had had their throats cut and drained of blood, and were the source of the blood on the altar.
"I praise you, my lord, for thou art the darling of the night, the queen of darkness, and the holy waters of the sleepless river wash thy immaculate skin. The Lord of Darkness himself draped you in a luxurious dress. I praise you, my Lord, that you are the eternal Lord of my body and my soul, from ancient times to the present and to the distant future. ”
After a routine compliment. A glimmer of light appeared in the eyes of the altar statue, and an arrogant and impatient voice sounded in the void: "Okay, okay, you noisy mortal, what's the matter this time?" ”
"My Lord"
The masked man's voice was immediately interrupted: "Wait, don't talk yet, let me think about your name Pierrot?" ”
The masked man was helpless: "My lord, Pierrot is the predecessor of my predecessors, and he has already gone to your kingdom. ”
The statue was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Aha." That's true. So you're Andrew? ”
"Andrew is your slave in the Starless Lands, master." The masked man is expressionless and plays a little game with this quirky and interesting master.
"Oh, you're not Andrew, you're Sandru."
"Great master, you have finally remembered me." The masked Sandru immediately cooperated and kowtowed to the ground to show his submission.
"Well, then Sandru, what are you looking for me and so on. Before you make a request, let me say a little bit. If you want me to give you a boost, don't even think about it! The voice in the void seemed very decisive, and there was no room for negotiation.
Sandru immediately shook his head: "No, no, master, I would never make such an unreasonable request, I was just experiencing some confusion." I hope the wise Lord of the Night can give me some guidance. ”
"Well, that's pretty much it. Say, what's the confusion, say it, and the light of my wisdom will banish the dark fog from your mind in an instant. The voice in the void looked proud. It was as if there was no problem in the world that could stump her.
"Yes, you are the Lord of Wisdom! A pioneer of knowledge! He is the Lord of the Truth! Sandru immediately slapped himself on the back, for he knew that as long as the goddess with a peculiar personality was happy and interested, the final reward would definitely greatly exceed his expectations.
"Hahahaha~" The goddess of the night laughed: "You are really Sandru, I remember you, you sweet-mouthed dog." ”
"Yes, great goddess, I am the dog who pleases you." Sandru picked it up loudly and threw his own festival cleaner without hesitation.
The Night Goddess's thinking was extremely jumpy, and she was still laughing just now, but she suddenly became completely smiling, and the statue's gaze shot to the altar: "Is this snake man your alchemy fruit?" ”
"Yes, great master, the method of refining him is the result of my life's work, but I am only a mortal after all, and my wisdom is compared to yours, that is, the stars are compared to the moon, and there is no comparison at all. Look at me, a snake man, can I still increase my strength? ”
The statue's gaze scanned back and forth over the runes on the snake man, and a voice murmured in the void: "Strength runes, strength runes, speed runes, transformation runes, and soul shattering runes, as well as endurance runes, it's rare that you can fuse these runes to this extent, for you who are just mortals, this is indeed the extreme, but in my eyes, it is no different from garbage!" ”
Sandru's heart was shocked, and he was dissatisfied: 'This is my life's work, even if you are a great god, it is too much to call it rubbish, right?' ’
The most complacent things were so degraded that even Sandru, who had abandoned his temperance, was very unhappy in his heart, and he was silent for a while, instead of continuing to flatter the goddess of the night.
"Well, why don't you speak, are you questioning my opinion? Well! The voice in the void immediately sounded, with a smell of scrutiny, and behind this scrutiny, there was the fury of thunder, as long as Sandru answered incorrectly, there was immediately divine punishment to descend.
Sandru's heart shook dramatically, and his heart suddenly disappeared, knowing that he had made a big mistake, he immediately made up for it: "No, no, no, my great master, I don't speak, that's because I'm frustrated and lost." It turned out that my efforts were all going in the wrong direction, and as a result, I created something so useless. I regret it so much, and if I had sought your wisdom earlier, I would not have been so completely wrong and so stupid. O great master, your wisdom is incomparable! ”
This shameless remark made the goddess of the night a little unable to react, and she was silent for a long time before a voice sounded in the void again: "Okay, okay, Sandru, your flattery can always easily break through the bottom line I gave you expectations, and I should reward you for talents like you."
There is a light in the statue's eyes falling, this light is like a substance, and it falls on the body of the snake man on the altar, and there is a sound, and after the light disappears, Sandru looks at the snake man on the altar again, and finds that there are many fine lines on the snake man's skin, which connect Sandru's own runes, and faintly form a new rune, which is very wonderful.
Rao is Sandru has been studying the secret runes of the Night Blade Sect for decades, and he can't quite understand it at this time, he lies on the mutant snake man, and carefully studies it for a long time, before he finally sees a trace of mystery.
With this hint of mystery, he felt that many of his previous doubts in the Nightblade rune literature had been solved.
At this moment, he was convinced, retreated under the altar, knelt on the ground, and said with an extremely respectful attitude: "My great master, your wisdom is like the sun in the sky, your beauty is like the moon in the sky, and there is such a perfect existence as you in the world, it is simply the most in the history of the entire Endless Void."
Sandru couldn't think of any adjectives to use, and he was speechless, and he scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time before he said: "This is no longer something that can be described by words, master, please forgive me for my lack of language skills." ”
There was a yawning sound in the void, and the Night Goddess said in a lazy tone: "Alright, Sandru, save your flattery for me next time, if you are still alive by then." ”
"Yes, my great master, I will not make such a low-level mistake as today." Sandru swore a promise.
There was no answer in the void, and the goddess of the night, who liked to listen to flattery and play tricks on believers, was gone.
Sandru did not dare to relax, he knew an example, five hundred years ago, a Nightblade cultist mistakenly thought that the goddess had left, but his mind relaxed, so he casually muttered a few words to express his dissatisfaction, and as a result, his soul is still hanging on the Goddess of the Night's divine stake and wailing, and it is said that the goddess is ready to nail him for 2,000 years.
As soon as he thought of this, Sandru was shocked, where did he dare to slack off, first bowed respectfully, and then moved the mutant snake man from the altar.
After a while, the serpent man woke up. After this thing woke up, it walked around the altar, and its body seemed very flexible, and there was no stiffness left of the original alchemy product, and it looked exactly like a living snake man.
That's not all, all the runes on the surface of this snake man's body disappeared, no, not disappeared, but immersed in the inside of the body, hidden, and became indestructible.
"Stop!" Sandru tried to give an order to the new snake man, but the snake man immediately stopped, turned his head to look at Sandru, and his eyes were very bright.
"Good, that's great! The means of the goddess are truly incomparable! This time, ninety percent of Sandru's flattery was sincere.
After that, Sandru tried the physical strength, stamina, strength, etc. of this new mutant snake man, and the result was at least 30% higher than the original, which was like a miracle.
But on second thought, isn't God a miracle worker? Besides, this dark goddess is still a powerful god, and it is normal to have such extraordinary means.
There are sixteen snake men, all of which must be improved. I also have to figure out the principle of this rune, so that it can be used on mutants of other races! ’
Sandru thought to himself, and he bowed respectfully to the statue of the goddess before leaving the Dark Altar with his mutant snake man. (To be continued......)
