quicksilver blood

Chapter 15 Was Seen Through
On the altar at the deepest level of the Abandoned Scar, the failed products of the transformation experiment were destroyed in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, the man presiding over the ceremony on the altar turned his head in a certain direction as if he heard something.The brows were tightly frowned on the thin cheeks, the corners of the tightly pursed mouth were not smiling, and the deeply sunken eye sockets were as dim as an abyss.

After about three or four seconds, there was a burst of hurried and messy footsteps from that direction.

The cultists in the Ring of South Wind stopped their work one after another and looked over vigilantly.

After accurately perceiving the natural aura of the incoming person and the red robe on his body, the two howlers closest to that direction relaxed and gestured to the person behind.The people who saw this gesture also breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to hold this gesture high to pass on the message to the people behind.

In the dark trail with a field of vision of only five meters, the visual information can only be passed on one by one in this way. While it is quiet and fast, it also covers up some problems.

For example, when they found that the face of the visitor was relatively unfamiliar, the two howlers who were close to the visitor subconsciously thought that they simply did not know the ashes.After all, the relationship between the Howler and the Embers is not friendly, and it is only natural that they do not know each other.

However, the ashes who should have recognized the stranger at the back accepted the message from the Howler in front that "this person is the same robe" and relaxed.

When he almost entered the field of vision of the man on the altar, the stranger in the red robe knelt down on one knee with a plop, and whispered in a weak voice: "Your Excellency, Windtalker! Master Marco is in danger! The people here are the regular army of the Principality of Caral! Please send reinforcements immediately!"

Not loud, but just enough for most people to hear.Suddenly, there was a dead silence near the altar.

After a few seconds of silence, a burst of noisy voices erupted at the same time, which immediately made the place noisy:
"Your Excellency Windtalker, please let me go out."

"My lord, let us Howlers go rescue Lord Marco together!"

"Your Excellency! Please save Master Marco!"

"Your Excellency Windtalker, please make a decision early! Master Marco can't afford to make mistakes!"

The Howler and the Embers cast their gazes on the altar at the same time, and the surrounding people continued to gather around, and there were more and more people near the altar.

But in general, the purpose of these people is the same.

Although Marco was extremely cruel to the clergy, especially the priests of Sivir, he was obviously good to his companions.Otherwise, at this time, there would not be so many people taking the risk of fighting the "regular army" to ask for orders.

After almost everyone gathered around, the man standing on the altar raised his right hand solemnly, signaling for silence.

Almost instantly, the noisy sound disappeared.

This kind of discipline is hardly seen in the armies of all countries.Only Bantha, who can strictly enforce orders and prohibitions, can compete with the cultists of the Southern Wind Ring in terms of discipline.This almost terrifying discipline is one of the reasons why the South Wind Ring is feared by all countries.

That expression has always been serious, and the deeply sunken eye sockets can hardly see the bottom.He first raised his hand and released a light emerald green to stop the bleeding wound on the back of the visitor, and then asked, "What's your name? How many people are here? What strength?"

"...My name is Pals. As for the people here... In addition to a half-step gold-level priest, there are also shield dancers of the same level, and other members of the Karal Legion. The total number of people is less than ten. indivual."

The red-robed man lowered his head and said respectfully.

After listening to his words, the surrounding people became noisy again.This time, he was not worried about Marco's safety, but eager to try.

As long as there are no gold rank powerhouses, just ten enemies can be easily dealt with.Only when the people of black iron advance to the top of the golden rank can it be possible to eliminate the weakness of the body.Before that, even the strongest Baiyin might be defeated by crowd tactics.This is why everyone is worried about Marco.

Once it is confirmed that the number of enemies is less than 100—even if they belong to the Silver rank, the people in the South Wind Ring are confident that Ma Ke will definitely be able to escape.

As a master figure who created a new profession, almost as long as he survived, he would definitely become a legend.

Not by chance.Part of this is the favor of the world, and there are also reasons why these people are indeed extremely talented.

Amidst the commotion of the crowd, the corner of the man's mouth on the altar slowly formed a stiff arc.

"I see." He said softly, but no one around him dared to speak out the moment he spoke, so he was able to pass on the order.

"The enemy is weak and not familiar with the environment, so there is no need to go to too many people," Windtalker said slowly, "Now the Ash disciples standing behind me, gather together and pursue the enemy with Pars. When you see an enemy, you must kill, leaving no one behind."

"Any ashes who can see my face stay, and work with the Howler to destroy the failed products. Those comrades who will go out to hunt down the enemy will not come back after completing the task. We will take a step after the destruction is completed. , everyone will meet at base 19."

The Ashes who had been named put on their hoods excitedly, and gathered beside Windtalker.The other Embers had no choice but to shrug their shoulders and get back to work.

Before the ashes who participated in the battle were assembled, Windtalker lowered his head and said softly to the man in red robe who was kneeling on the ground jokingly: "You are very capable, if you choose the path of howler .”

"... Your Excellency loves you."

The man in the red robe seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then responded flatly.

"Then, I can only help you so much," Windtalker's tone remained unchanged, "Give me good news."

"……Yes."

The man in the red robe trembled, and then replied in a difficult voice.

As if unable to withstand the pressure of the Windtalker, he led the Ashes out of here immediately after the Ashes who participated in the battle had assembled.

"Half of the Ashes are dead, even if you can come back..."

The corner of the mouth of the man on the altar curved slightly, muttering.

------

Roland had just led the ashes away from the gathering place of the followers of the Southern Wind Ring, and the cold sweat on his back instantly drenched his back, and the red robe on his back was dyed a deeper dark red by mixing with blood.

He was scared.

Just now when the light that healed the back injury came over, the system prompt scared him a lot.

[You have accepted the magical effect: Higgs' forgiveness.Because you don't believe in Higgs, the healing effect is minimized]

【Your back injury has healed】

Higgs's Forgiveness is a unique magical art of the South Wind Ring, with a level as high as the seventh ring.This means that a level 31 howler can only use it once without any equipment.The effect of the divine spell depends on the faith of the recipient. For fanatics, they can be reborn with full blood even if they still have a breath.Healing a broken limb is trivial, and the curse issued by the god of the evil alignment can also be removed.

The reason why the Ring of the South Wind is the most dangerous cult, and it is not unreasonable to even retain this title until the end of Lost Christmas.The true god they worship, "Higgs with snakes in his eyes", was a saint with the same personality as the sleeping teacher before being corrupted by the twilight species.Moreover, he is a relatively good fighter among the Seven Saints, and even the false gods of the whole world can't beat him.

In the version of Lost Christmas, players have already heard of the name Twilight Seed, but they don't know how strong the Twilight Seed is, so they are called "irresistible" and "absolutely irresistible" natural disasters.Higgs, the original father of Gaia, gave the player a good lesson——

The phantom of a snake raised in Higgs' eyes destroyed a kingdom the moment it descended after the completion of the Christmas ceremony, and Higgs and the seven saints united together to fight to the death for thousands of years to barely repel the vanguard of the twilight military.For this reason, the saints paid the price of three fallen and one polluted.The above explained the world view of the whole world to the players very well, and poured cold water on the heads of those players who dreamed of saving the world.

Don't be fooled by the declaration of human rights - this is not some medieval European magic-turned-tech game, this is a world with an irresistible doomsday approaching.Under the aggression of the twilight species, surviving and the never-ending race war are the main colors.Roland was also one of the players who was splashed with cold water in the swimming pool back then, so he was very impressed even by the name that only lived in the background and mission description.

With these two system prompts alone, Roland at most suspected that he had been discovered.After all, with his acting skills, even if he is really seriously injured, it is not difficult to act like he is refreshed after receiving the magic surgery.What's more, he didn't suffer much injuries, and his embarrassed appearance was his disguise.

However, at this time Roland received another reminder:
[Higgs has paid attention to you - he hopes that you can calm down and feel his glory roaring on the earth. 】

Refuse!

Roland nodded without hesitation.

The moment Roland saw this prompt, he knew that he had indeed been discovered.And it wasn't discovered by the spokesperson of Higgs, the Windtalker, but the existence of Higgs itself paid attention to him.

Roland has a good idea of ​​how strong the pollution ability of the dusk species is.Even the polluted Higgs himself has inherited considerable pollution ability. Even Windtalker, the prince of the wind element, was polluted by Higgs and became his own fanatic. Roland has no idea of ​​​​comparing willpower with elemental life .

Fortunately, Higgs didn't get angry or anything.In other words, his attention to Roland is not strong, so he won't stalk him if he is rejected.But when Higgs' will came to Roland, Windtalker could definitely feel it.

So at that moment, the Windtalker knew that this person in the red robe of the Ashes was definitely not the Ashes.

Because the Ashes are a complete atheism, and the ultimate goal is to realize a godless society; while the Howler is a powerful sect led by evil gods, with a real source of belief and the protection of will.It was not easy for these two groups of people to get together in the first place, and the current relationship is not harmonious.

Higgs definitely doesn't pay attention to atheistic people.In his opinion, this group of people is like a group of untouchables who instigated others to occupy the mansion after the lord went out, but those false gods who usurped the authority of the saint are basically the same thing.

Whether it is to pull the gods down from the throne and let himself replace them, or to realize the spiritual freedom of mankind from the bottom of his heart-even if Higgs is polluted by the dusk, this is still clear.

Because of this, when Higgs' will came to Roland's side, Windtalker had already seen through his disguise, and then let him go out of his own consideration.

Thinking of this, Roland sneered silently.

Roland could guess what the Windtalker wanted to do.Seeing that he dared to come to ask for someone, he guessed that Roland must have ambushed long ago.So he decided to let half of the ashes go out with him. If there were any ambush, these ashes would definitely die outside.When Marco comes back, without so many loyalists, his position in the South Wind Ring will definitely not be as good as before.

And if Roland fails to kill all the ashes outside, Windtalker can also take advantage of this matter, and in the name of rectifying the interior, take advantage of the trend to kill a few of Marco's diehards quickly. Well, when Marco comes back, he won't be able to have a seizure.If those who are to be "rectified" want to resist, Windtalker can suppress them openly, and even drive the Ashes out of the South Wind Ring ahead of schedule.

Not only that, the words that the Windtalker said before, "Don't rush back" and "We will meet at Base 19" set a trap for these Ashes who went out to perform missions.

If they obeyed the order, it would be tantamount to dividing the power of the Embers in half.Even if Marco's influence is too high, he is only one person after all, and he has no time to clone himself.

If Marco came back early, then Windtalker would send someone to intercept the group of Ashes who went out, and if Marco came back with the half of the Ashes outside, then Windtalker would find fault with the Ashes inside. Kill as many gangsters as you can.

This is a real conspiracy.

but……

"I don't want to do what you want."

Roland lowered his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and said softly in a voice that only he could hear.

There was a cunning gleam in his eyes.

I sent the contract today, and the post office told me that it would take about a week from Shandong to Shanghai by registered mail...

What speed!If I had known earlier, I would have sent a courier!
The new book is opened on Thursday, and there are two more days left until Friday.Then on Saturday, it resumes two more shifts a day.

I haven't signed a contract yet, and haven't released it on a regular basis. The daily update time is very unstable... because the update time mainly depends on when Shixian thinks of "Hey, I don't seem to have updated it yet" (serious face)
