The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 276: Feast of the Great Hunt

"I'm Ken Cattell."

The old man's voice was low and even trembling: "I am... a ritualist from Nata County."

Nata County...

Annan frowned slightly.

He has indeed heard the name of this place... This is not a good place.

Nata County is a viscounty close to the western border of Noah. The terrain itself is similar to Roseburg, but the difference is... there is nothing further west.

Yes, the westernmost side is the edge of the Noah Kingdom.

In the past few decades in Nata County, the gray fog that has gradually eroded inward has completely eaten away the plain to the west of the city - and one-third of the urban area. This erosion rate was half that after five years.

At this distance, the barrier cannot completely block the penetration of gray mist.

A dust-like curse visible to the naked eye is flying in the city - the entire city is gray during the day, and the sky turns blood red near night.

Ordinary people living in such a place would easily develop chronic diseases within a few years - after all, the water source is very likely to be contaminated by the curse. Long-term living and unclean air and water will greatly weaken the physique of ordinary people.

And food exposed to the air will even grow mold within two or three days, and fresh meat, vegetables and fruits rot at a rate that is more than three times that of the mainland. If you accidentally eat food contaminated by the curse, you are likely to die in a short time due to acute infection.

This directly led the lords of Nata County to decide to evacuate inland and completely abandon the city. And when no one was paying wages, the city guards and police stations quickly evacuated...With the loss of order maintainers, many vicious robberies and murders soon occurred. This directly caused the caravans to no longer go to Nata County - so Silver Siren's church also evacuated.

They put up signs warning passers-by not to proceed. And persuade people in the city to leave as soon as possible.

But obviously...a brand cannot stop those illegal supernatural beings who thirst for power, ordinary people who fanatically pursue supernatural beings, and criminals who have committed serious crimes and are forced to flee. Even the sign itself was stolen within the first month after it was erected.

In the end, Nata County directly became a complete lawless zone.

Indescribable monsters in the gray fog will even enter the city directly to prey; some extraordinary beings who are eager for power will enter Nata County and live close to the gray fog inside the barrier to absorb the viciousness in the gray fog. Curse - This will cause their corrosiveness to rise sharply and their temperament to gradually become violent and dark, but it will also make their strength rapidly increase. At least it won't be difficult until you reach the highest level of Bronze.

As these illegal extraordinary beings are not supervised, they naturally do not need to abide by the law honestly, and naturally they cannot keep a low profile - when they fight, it will lead to the birth of a large number of nightmares.

With a large number of uncontrollable nightmares and the erosion of gray fog, a demon may be born somewhere at any time.

As you can imagine.

There will be no "ordinary people" here.

Even if you give up your identity and become a refugee in a mainland city... it is far better than living in Nata County.

In fact, in some cities in Noah's interior, "Nata County people" can completely refer to "refugees".

This is a group of homeless people. Many people have a relatively bad impression of them...because these Nata County people grew up in such a harsh environment, and many of them will become thieves, liars, human traffickers and other gang members. This is their specialty.

But the opposite——

The "extraordinary" abilities that are generally kept secret in other places are almost open to the public in Nata County. Unconsciously absorbing a large amount of vicious curses, they can easily become wild supernatural beings in a nightmare - the kind of dangerous supernatural beings whose corrosion rate exceeds 50% at birth.

In order to fight against the extraordinary beings, the forbidden knowledge of becoming a ritual master will also be spread in Nata County.

The dangers of this technology are meaningless to the people of Nata County.

Once you live in a precarious city, the taboos and dangers of ritual masters' knowledge become particularly ridiculous - the same goes for knowledge about explosions, poisons, etc.

Yes, explosion——

Annan thought of this and asked:

"Are you from Nata County?"

"Yes, I have been in Natasha County for forty years."

"Then why did you leave Nata County?"

"Of course...to serve my master."

The old man whispered: "I will not say his name. He was the one who took me and my children away from Nata County and allowed my children to go to school and have a normal job. .I owe him a life..."

Then you are still telling me so much now?

The corners of Annan's mouth raised slightly, but he didn't say much.

The Honorable Ken Cattell should have realized this.

Annan will use Sir Silver's magic - there are only two possibilities.

Sir Silver has seen through Fufu’s plan and plans to interfere;

Perhaps he is in someone's nightmare, and the person in front of him is the Silver Hand of the Silver Jue Church.

No matter which possibility it is, his concealment is actually meaningless.

Because if Sir Silver's priests become suspicious, they can launch an investigation. And it is impossible to keep these secrets from the church.

As long as Yin Jue checks the accounts in person, basically any secret will be discovered by him.

Yin Jue can see everyone and all types of "transactions" in the world. And it can be traced back to the transaction time, transaction content and transaction object.

This is why although He has no authority over "truth" or "secrets"... almost nothing can be hidden from Him.

"——So, no matter what the possibility is. Your concealment is meaningless."

Annan smiled and said calmly: "Tell me the truth. There is no need to show off to me that you are loyal to the Lord."

Ken heard the words and smiled silently.

He sighed and whispered:

"Okay... I'll show my hand. I'll say anything.

"They are holding a ceremony. The name of this ceremony is called 'The Feast of the Great Hunt'. It is the domain of the 'Tragedywriter', the **** of murder and conspiracy... The general content of the ceremony is to use six citations carrying Stone people formed a 'stage' in a banquet, framed a range, and set everyone in it as 'actors'. And with a 'grand enough opening', they sacrificed one person and caused widespread chaos. Ritual, the fate of every 'actor' during the curse.

"The order of killing is completely random and is personally selected by the 'tragedy writer'. Each selected person is called a 'talker'. He can only temporarily avoid his own misfortune by killing another person. , hand over the 'lines' to the next person; or encounter a disaster... This disaster may lead to death.

"And for every person who dies, the misfortune suffered by the next person will be more terrible, or even doubled. Until the 'closing ceremony' sends away the 'tragedy writer'. And if the 'closing' cannot be completed, then the ceremony is considered a failure .After the last actor dies, all the 'curtain weavers' will die in pain."

That’s...us.

Ken pointed to himself with a wry smile: "And everyone involved in this plan...

"As for the price of the ritual and the reward after its completion, I think you won't care...because the process of the ritual itself is their purpose. First, start a grand fire and burn one person to death. As an opening...this ceremony has been completed."

"...them?"

Annan keenly captured a key word.

Ken nodded slowly, with a complicated voice: "But please don't ask, I can't say or write his name. ~IndoMTL.com~ I don't want to participate in this plan either... but I have no choice. Because I don't think they will organize us to cause a second fire to 'close' it. The greater possibility is to let us all die to silence them."

"'He'..."

Annan murmured: "Then I know who it is."

Eighty percent will be the third prince Philip.

Besides him, who else could let the heir of the Crow family take risks?

It’s Ferdinand...

Does he himself know that he has been placed in the position of a "possible victim"?

Now Annan finally knows... how did those heirs die one after another in a short period of time, but the murderer could never be found!

Their fate had been cursed years ago - but they were unaware of it!

In order to successfully curse them, many people would have died before then.

Annan suddenly felt a chill in his heart——

In other words, what he wants to prevent is not just explosions and fires...?

This is the first time Annan has come into contact with the power of "destiny".

Of course...if it insists on saying it, it is not actually destiny.

Judging from the priesthood of this false **** - or evil god, he does not have the realm of "accident" and "lucky" like Miss Good Luck.

The God of Murder and Conspiracy... this one is probably "manually" creating misfortune.

"...tell me how to stop this ritual."

Annan's mind was spinning and he slowly asked.
