Heart of Empire Chapter 51: Jinxiangye
The accumulated heads of the faceless men began to disintegrate under the golden-green light representing Hilo's divine power. The monster's head, which was originally dirty and bloody, was purified out of thin air into star spots, which merged into the green light.
This whole process lasted about a few minutes. When the green light returned to the four pillars of the sacrificial altar, the four hundred monster heads had completely disappeared, not even a trace left. down.
To be honest, the most important part of the entire sacrificial ceremony—at least the most important part to Dane—has been completed, and the rest is just for Esther to take advantage of this religious ceremony , to brainwash the believers below. This has nothing to do with Dane, he is more concerned about the rewards from Hilo after the sacrificial ceremony.
For the rest of the ceremony, Dane basically spent the rest of the ceremony in a drowsy state. He didn't 'wake up' until the night fell and the crowd dispersed.
Seeing Eslor return to the depths of the temple, he hurried to catch up, and soon found the priestess in the prayer room of the temple.
"That... Ms. Eslore, when will you get the reward from the gods?"
Dane acted so straightforwardly that Eslore couldn't play any tricks, so he could only say bluntly: "The gods have already sent blessings, as long as the lord, you wait in the ghost knife tomorrow night port, you will know what reward you get."
This reply was also very straightforward, but Dane was still scratching his head. He said: "Then what... Ms. Eslore, can you reveal in advance what the reward will be?"
Esther shook her head and said, "This is the will of the gods. If you ask me more, I don't know. Why is the lord so impatient? It's just a matter of tomorrow night."
Since there was nothing to be asked from this woman, Dane could only give up resentfully.
It was already very late when we left the temple of Aurianadu, but Dane still couldn't hold back his restless mind, and rushed back to Ghost Knife Port overnight.
……
Late at night, on the deck of the Golden Fragrant Leaf.
The Golden Fragrance Leaf is a typical elf cruiser. The golden purple hull is very slender. Elegant, artistic carvings and design elements fill the entire ship, making it not look like a ship. A ship floating on the sea is more like an elegant work of art.
At this time, wearing a traditional high elf armor, the slender elf ranger general Patience stood on the deck of the Golden Fragrant Leaf, facing the sea breeze under the empty moonlight. Her hair, which was supposed to be golden, was moved by the night wind and looked inexplicably melancholy under the moonlight. On the beautiful face, the look of disappointment can't be dispelled no matter what.
There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and Patience turned her head, and saw her adjutant, another high-ranking ranger hastily approaching. She sighed and said, "Pearl, what happened again? I know that there is not enough fresh water, and I know that there is not enough food. What bad news do you want to tell me now?"
"There is no bad news, but there is good news!" The female ranger Pearl had a trace of excitement on her face, and before Patience could ask, she continued, "Priest Cecilia just arrived I received divine revelation in my prayers!"
Hearing Pearl's words, Patience's face was radiant, and she asked in disbelief: "Really?"
"It's true! The great Shiloh did not abandon his people! We really received divine revelation!"
Pei Xinsi wept with joy, she said: "Hero bless... let's go, let's go and see!"
For three months, Patience and the elves protected by her subordinates have been praying to the gods, but they have never received a response. Now, almost all of them have fallen into despair, and suddenly they said that the great father of the elves had issued a divine revelation, so how could it not make her ecstatic?
Patience is an elf ranger general, of course, at this time, the word 'former' must be added. Two years ago, she was a general in the Nancy Elf Ranger Army, and she was suspended a year ago, and three months ago, she was directly exiled by the Nancy Elf Royal Court.
In the past two years, in the endless dark forest in the central mountain range in the northwest of Schindler and on the border of the Principality of Florence, the Nancy Elf Court is undergoing drastic changes.
Two years ago, in the territory of the Nancy elves, when Patience led her troops on patrol, she discovered a mage tower belonging to humans appeared on the territory of the Nancy elves. The mage's tower seemed to have suddenly appeared overnight. Otherwise, how could Patience have never found it during the past patrols?
This is undoubtedly a major challenge for the elves. Although mages are revered in this world, even among elves, mages are revered. But this does not mean that the elves can tolerate human mages building mage towers without permission on the territory of their own kingdom.
At that time, Patience realized the seriousness of the problem. On the one hand, she deployed staff to surround the pale mage tower that suddenly appeared, and on the other hand, she urgently sent a report back to the royal court and asked for support~IndoMTL .com~ A mage tower is not so easy to break, especially if a group of rangers do not have the support of their own mages.
According to the temper of the proud elves, when faced with this situation, if they are in a good mood, they will usually choose to drive out the ignorant mage directly; if they are in a bad mood, they may even kill him directly.
But neither of these two situations happened. After King Nancy sent an envoy to communicate with the owner of the mysterious mage tower that seemed to be built overnight, he tolerated it strangely. The existence of the mage. Even King Nancy personally ordered that a large forest centered on the mage's tower be designated as a forbidden area, and the elves are not allowed to approach.
This is a very strange order, but as a ranger general, Patience has to obey. From then on, within a year, the ranger troop she led never passed near the forbidden area.
Until, her troops frequently reported that traces of undead were found in the forest.
The dark forest is not a peaceful place. In the vast central mountain range, in the ancient forest, occasionally, some humans, elves or other races who died in the forest for unknown reasons will become undead for various reasons . For undead creatures, elves usually have only one attitude: destroy them all! However, in just one month, Patience, who was in charge of external patrols, received dozens of reports of her subordinates encountering undead, and even found groups of undead, which made her realize the problem Something is wrong.
The first factor she thought of was the pale mage tower standing under her eyelids~IndoMTL.com~ ~IndoMTL.com~Mobile users please go to read.
