Lord of Arcane

Chapter 804 The Night of Prejudice Sacrifice
Since Marucis's hand had a recovery effect, Xia Duo didn't refuse anymore. Although it felt awkward, it was not her own body after all.

Now, he can only comfort himself like this.

After a while, Xia Duo's eyes no longer had any pain, and there was only a sense of coolness flowing in the eyes, and then he heard Marucis's cold voice:

"With my own hands to help you heal, what are you waiting for! Haven't opened your eyes yet!"

This voice without any emotion was completely gone from the meekness before. Even though Xia Duo was sure that the other party would not be really angry, he still felt tense when he heard such a voice.

As a captive of a hostile family, as a male with a lower status in drow society, especially as a weak person, it is difficult for Xia Duo to really resist Marucis who is a woman and a high mage.

His only resistance is probably to leave this projection plane.

But in this situation, there is no need to leave. With the help of Maruss, Xia Duo thinks it is not bad to be able to adapt to the sun faster.

Opening his eyes again, Xia Duo felt intense, needle-like pain again, but the holy power left by Marucis in his eyes quickly healed the pain.

For a while, Xia Duo felt like he was in a world of ice and fire. In such a painful and comfortable feeling, he began to quickly adapt to this sunny area with drow's vision.

At this moment, he seemed to be in a sea of ​​light, surrounded by brilliance, and there were only blurred figures in front of his eyes, and he couldn't see clearly when he wanted to see clearly.

"Concentrate, look here!"

Under the guidance of Maruccis, Xia Duo began to re-establish a new understanding of new horizons. Even if his body is a surface creature, it will not be of much use at this moment.

The vision of drow is completely different from that of normal humans. Even though drow were once surface creatures, they have long since lost the memory of their normal vision on the surface.

Maybe there are still some instincts left, but it's not something that can be adapted in a while.

……

In the next few days, Xia Duo didn't even go to the library, and kept adapting to the sunlight in the dim environment of the training ground.

Time flies by in this kind of adaptive training. Fortunately, with Xia Duo's current memory ability, many things can be done in his consciousness and mind.

Just two months is not enough for him to do nothing.

On this day, under the gaze of Maruccis, Xia Duo finally mastered the technique of actively constricting his pupils to control the amount of light to distinguish colors, and it was also the first time he saw Maruccis from a perspective closer to the main body.

It is indeed black skin, but compared with the perspective of ordinary humans, it has the unique brilliance of the drow due to the perspective of temperature and other perspectives.

In fact, even black is a novel color in Drow's eyes. It is equal to other colors such as white, red, green, and has nothing special about it.

There will be no prejudice like that of surface creatures, or aesthetic differences.

It can even be said that drow may prefer black because of the color of his skin.

From Drow's point of view, Marucis is an out-and-out beauty, Medrow, but Xia Duo can't appreciate it.

"Now that you've adapted to the sun, you'll be training with them next. This mission is not easy, so don't let your guard down!"

"I see!"

After simply telling Xia Duo a few words, Marucis took him back to the courtyard residence, and it was still the expected whipping game.

……

Next, Xia Duo started a new round of book-sweeping work. He was able to adapt to the sun, and he "learned" spell lighting at random. The library that Maruccis opened to him became his once again The object of the search.

And except for the first time when they searched everything, he still went there to read books afterwards. No one had thought of his memory tracing ability for the time being, and he was not going to expose it.

On the contrary, half a day of rest time allowed him to think better.

In the training field, there is "Brandon" memory assistance in combat, he is an out-and-out drow warrior!

As for other aspects such as surface investigation, lurking, searching, torture, etc., since he is a surface arcanist on the main plane, these female drow instructors may not be as good as him in terms of understanding of the surface!
In addition, as long as he goes to the surface, he can fully restore the strength of a high-level mage (of course it is now, but he will be stronger on the surface), he is not very concerned about this.

Of course, he didn't relax too much. After all, these experiences may be used to search for drow assassins when he returns to the main plane!
On this side, Xia Duo is steadily training, while on the other side, after long-term preparations, the Crowley family has also begun the battle to conquer the Ozobaine Void.

Ozobain City.

On the square where the timing stone pillar is located, the sacrifice ceremony of the Creation Mother Goddess [Water-making Holy Day] is going on, and the real superiors of Ozobain, such as the mistresses of various families and senior mages, are present.

Especially Marusis, as the only high priest of the Mother Goddess in Ozobane's Great Hollow, she even attended with a priestly attire.

After countless slaves, including some drow civilians, were beheaded, a group of dark holy power independent of this dark environment appeared on the altar.

Seeing this, Marucis showed a slight joy on his face, stepped forward to hold the mass of holy power, and announced loudly at the same time:
"The Mother God accepted our dedication and bestowed upon us divine grace!"

Then she waved her hand behind her, and then an altar of holy wine was carried to the altar by two priestesses.

Marucis threw the dark holy power in her hand into the wine jar, a gloomy light flashed, she nodded, her eyes swept over all the high-ranking people in Ozobaine City, and her eyes flashed A trace of darkness:
"Share the grace!"

Following Marusis's loud announcement, the priestess at the side began to draw wine from the wine jar, and distributed them one by one to all the high-ranking people present.

"Drink together!"

With that said, Marucis was the first to drink the holy wine in his hand, and the other high-ranking people in Ozobein City did not hesitate, and drank it after a little inspection.

Even for priests, there are not many opportunities to obtain divine grace. It is not that there is divine grace if there is a sacrifice. It also depends on the mood of the mother god. Maybe there is, maybe there is nothing.

God is always so unpredictable, and perhaps it is precisely because of this unpredictable that it is more majestic.

……

After everyone drank the divine wine, a smile gradually appeared on Maruxis' cold face. She didn't do anything, just waited quietly.

Originally, after receiving the divine favor, the ceremony should end, but Marucis, who was the host of the sacrificial ceremony, unexpectedly behaved so abnormally.

Under the altar, a male senior mage was about to ask questions under the signal of the family mistress, but he couldn't say anything as soon as the words came to his mouth, and fell to the ground with a plop, staring wide-eyed.
