50 The God of tainted blood (1)
..
[you have detected the ritual of the God of tainted blood]
[the ritual of the tainted blood God: a mysterious ritual. The creatures in the ritual will gain great desire and speed of reproduction at the cost of the mother’s vitality.]
[insight (+60) is in effect!] (Note 1.)
[you have sensed the statue of the God of tainted blood.]
..
In the dark.
Roger’s eyes seemed to see through the obstacles of the big house and saw a mysterious stone statue.
The stone statue only had a head, with eyes but no pupils. Its inverted triangular face was covered with fine blood-red lines.
Roger felt his temple hurt after looking at it for a short while.
as expected, another heretic cult believer? ”
When he was in the orchard, he had already vaguely guessed humphran’s background.
And now, his guess had been confirmed.
Although he didn’t know where the God of tainted blood came from, he was the source of all the abnormal phenomena.
Humphran might just be a chess piece.
It was no wonder that even the young Jade Dragon was afraid.
However, Roger didn’t intend to give up.
Mystra was a place full of cultists.
If he ran away when he encountered one, he might really have to stay in the novice village for the rest of his life.
“Let’s continue watching.”
While the people in the courtyard had left.
Roger turned over and entered.
After a few leaps, he disappeared into the darkness.
..
In the next few days.
Roger had been collecting information in the villages of the refugees.
Sharpening the knife will not delay the work of cutting wood.
To Roger, he would only make a move if he was fully prepared.
The situation in the village was not good.
Humphran increased the speed of distributing the fire oranges.
Every day, there would be people getting their heads exploded by the tumor on their neck. The frequency was getting higher and the number was also increasing.
In addition to the strong smell of magic, the village was also filled with a dusky and dead air.
And every night.
Humphran would always hold the ” ceremony of the God of tainted blood ” in his big house.
In just a few days.
Almost all women had completed the terrifying process of pregnancy and aging.
Their children were also growing up at a monstrous speed.
A baby that had just landed could grow into a teenager in a few days, and had the initial ability to fight.
These children were more like monsters than the ordinary refugees from the marsh.
They were thin and had long limbs.
Compared to walking on two feet, they seemed to prefer crawling.
They couldn’t speak, had no expressions, and refused to be close to their mother.
They only took orders from humphran.
Humphran fed them large amounts of fire oranges, and these children’s ability to digest magic was clearly stronger.
Many of them had obtained powerful spell-like abilities.
Only a few people had their heads blown off.
Time passed day by day.
Humphran’s appearance was getting shorter and shorter.
He locked himself in that big house and never came out.
Roger knew that there wasn’t much time left before humphran attacked Dragon tooth village.
“It’s time to make a move.”
..
Roger found Cindy and talked to her about what he had seen and heard these days.
“We really don’t know who the God of tainted blood is.”
after all, there are too many reputable evil gods in Mystra …
Cindy pondered and said, ”
if what you saw is true, then humphran should be the spokesperson of that evil god.
“MMH … You’re afraid of getting into trouble?”
“If this is the problem, there is no need to worry.The existence of forbidden spells blocks the vision of most evil gods, and it’s actually very difficult for them to extend their claws and teeth over. People like humphran are already the strongest representatives that the evil gods can find.”
Roger nodded without a change in expression.
I can promise you that after you kill humphran, the God of tainted blood won’t come looking for trouble with you.
Cindy promised.
Roger thought for a moment.
“I’m going to kill humphran tonight.”
“There are two things that I need your help with.”
“The first. You have to give me the Jade Dragon God’s blessing in advance.”
“Second, I’m not sure. I need her to come out personally. Well, you don’t have to do anything. Just fly around.”
Cindy hesitated. After a while, she nodded and said,
“Alright,” he said.
“I will convey your message.”
..
At night.
Roger was walking on the edge of the reeds, his whereabouts uncertain.
He was blessed with the [ blessing of the Jade Dragon God ].
..
[ Jade Dragon God’s blessing: your perception, intelligence, and strength will increase by 1 point each. ]
..
Because it was a random point-adding, this result could only be considered average for Roger.
Of the six basic attributes.
What he needed the most were agility and perception. Strength and Constitution were secondary, while intelligence and charm were the most useless.
There was no need to mention agility and perception. Strength and Constitution also determined the basic qualities of the body.
Intelligence, on the other hand, represented the degree of affinity with the elements and the research potential in the field of magic.
Roger, who was immune to magic, naturally didn’t get along with the essence.
As for charm … Let’s not mention it!
it’s equivalent to an extra 1 point of strength and 1 point of perception for free. It’s not too bad.
Sneaking into the village of the marsh refugees along the path of reeds, Roger began to set off for the established location.
Along the way, he saw a few of the refugees from the swampland get headshotted.
One after another, it was like a fireworks show.
His heart felt a little heavy.
“Almost done?”
Just as he was thinking about this.
A loud dragon’s roar suddenly came from the sky!
..
“It’s a Dragon!”
“Attack!”
“Ah …”
The village suddenly became noisy.
The refugees who still had a trace of rationality looked at the sea-blue figure in fear.
“What are you all doing!”
Humphran out of the big house and skillfully put on his belt.
“Go push the ballista!”
“Mage-like team, gather!”
With humphran’s appearance, the order in the village was temporarily maintained.
The refugees started moving in a daze.
Hu! Hu! Hu!
The giant dragon in the sky flapped its wings frantically.
The strong wind blew and overturned many low houses.
“Hurry, hurry, hurry!”
Humphran commanded loudly.
Suddenly, a guard ran over, ”
“Lord humphran!”
“The orchard is on fire!”
Humphran was stunned. their target is the orchard? ” he asked.
“Bring some people to put out the fire!”
That guard immediately led a group of people away.
A moment later.
Someone ran over to report, ”
“Lord humphran!”
“The warehouse where the ballistae are stored is on fire!”
This time, humphran really couldn’t sit still!
He was in a hurry to bring his men to put out the fire.
However, he had not walked far when he suddenly stopped in his tracks!
“There’s a problem!”
Humphran shook off his men with a ferocious expression and strode back.
Soon, he returned to the big house.
In the chaotic square.
No one seemed to notice that a figure was walking out of the side door of the big house.
The man was hunched over, holding something wrapped in sackcloth in his arms.
“Stop!”
Humphran was furious.
This roar alarmed the man, who grabbed the package and ran!
Humphran didn’t have time to think. He grabbed a knife and rushed over.
The man ran extremely fast and rushed out of the village in a few leaps.
But humphran was not slow either.
In fact, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
The two of them, one in front and one behind.
In the blink of an eye, he had already traveled two to three Li and entered the more complex environment of the swamp.
The wind was getting stronger.
Humphran’s mind suddenly jolted.
“I’ve been tricked!”
At that moment.
He saw the thing in the arms of the figure in front of him fall down.
He fell into the swamp with a plop.
It was actually an incomparably huge potato!
BOOM!
Along with this strange sound, the Furious humphran suddenly missed his step.
The scene in front of him began to spin!
“It’s a trap,”
This word had just appeared in his mind.
He felt a heart-piercing pain!
He looked down.
Who knew how many bamboo nails the length of a forearm were buried in the deep pit!
“Ah!”
A painful roar came from the bottom of the pit.
It was like the most ferocious beast had fallen into the trap of the most cunning Hunter.
Above the deep pit.
A face shrouded in shadows slowly appeared.
It was dark.
