In the past few days, Agnes has participated in several underground transactions related to extraordinary materials and occultism in Bayam, trying to obtain some information about the materials for preparing the "living corpse" potion. Obtaining auxiliary materials is not too difficult. Agnes spent some money and basically got them or found a way to purchase them, but the extraordinary materials...
Death Knell Flowers and Frost Wraiths are extraordinary materials that appear more often in the Southern Continent. Although they are not impossible to obtain in the Sunia Sea, they require certain connections.
For Agnes, managing enough connections in a place like Byam is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. Instead, it is better to turn to Mr. Chester for help, or simply find a way to trick a licentious person." "Living Corpse", it is convenient to directly use the characteristics to prepare the magic potion.
To be honest, Agnes feels that her thoughts have become more and more cruel since she left Fenebor City. If her former teammates of the Heart of Nature team knew about it, she would at least have to check her out-of-control tendencies.
Agnes stood up, put down the three-sura banknote on the table, and walked out of the restaurant. This money is enough to pay for the food on the table, and it can also leave a relatively generous tip.
"Nightingale," Agnes whispered.
"Madam." Nightingale's voice rang in Agnes's ears.
"Do you know where Mr. Chester is?" Agnes asked aloud.
Nightingale was silent for a moment and then said aloud: "Mr. Chester is in the jungle on the east side of Blue Mountain Island."
"In the jungle?" Agnes frowned slightly. It seemed that Mr. Chester had something to do, but she didn't know whether it was for the mission of the Temperance Faction or... for the less pleasant things of the Indulgence Faction. .
She closed her eyes slightly and pictured the leafless tree in her mind.
Her consciousness spread over the black threads extending from her spiritual body. Agnes skillfully found the thread that belonged to Maiviti and put a little spirituality into it.
A field of vision covered with gray gauze appeared in front of Agnes's eyes. The black reef and the light white beach were accompanied by the bright sunshine of Lanshan Island. The dark green palm trunks and dark brown leaf sheaths were vaguely There were some dark red blood stains, and in the natural cave formed by the depression of the reef, there were finger-deep small grooves forming inexplicable shapes around several smooth boulders as tall as a person, and a dark brown almost paste-like substance was formed inside.
It looked like a scene of bloody sacrifices. Agnes couldn't help but frown. Judging from the direction of the sunlight, this place should belong to the west coast of Lanshan Island, but she didn't know if it was on the west coast of Lanshan Island. Western Region. Above the reef not far from where they were, there was a dense jungle.
What are they doing? Agnes threw herself at the person not far away.
The captain of Maiviti's pirate group, as well as the first mate, second mate and others on the ship followed a middle-aged man with sunken eyes and a pale face, staring closely at a two-meter-wide figure not far away. of flat stones.
Agnes looked at the things near the stone and couldn't help but frown.
A complete mummy was placed on a flat stone two meters wide, and the rugged skeleton under the shriveled skin could be seen. The internal organs were neatly placed around the body, and they seemed to have been processed in some way, giving them a slightly darker color. Some yellowed shrouds with black blood stains were balled up and placed on the side of the stone, and some corpse processing tools with still moist meat scraps were thrown on the ground.
In addition to the corpses on the flat stone, there were four dying people tied to high round stones at the four corners of the stone. The dried blood under their bodies connected to a finger-deep ditch. Their pale faces were twisted in agony, and their moans were almost inaudible.
It’s really a bloody ceremony. It seems that the Indulgence Faction hasn’t sent many heavyweight Beyonders to retaliate in the past few days. It’s just for this ceremony. Agnes can’t help but feel a little confused. She wonders if she can report to the Church of Storms now. There was no time to stop the completion of this ceremony.
Judging from the view, the ceremony has already begun.
After all, we were conducting a living sacrifice within the Church of Storms' sphere of influence, so we should still look to them to handle it. However, the emergency management capabilities of the Church of Storms need to be considered...
Agnes always had the feeling that the Punisher would be late, even though there seemed to be no reason for this feeling.
If the Punisher participates in preventing the completion of this living sacrifice, then the Storm Lord Church can use this as an excuse to clean up the original and bloody sacrificial tradition on Blue Mountain Island. After all, the local Poseidon believers still maintain the tradition of bloody sacrificial offerings.
However, if the Punisher failed to stop this living sacrifice, the Storm Lord Church would have even more reason to clean up the bloody sacrifice, which would be more embarrassing...
Agnes reached out to cover her forehead, trying hard to clear away the dark thoughts that kept emerging in her mind, and couldn't help but sigh.
She actually felt that these thoughts were reasonable, but her reason told her that she could have such thoughts, but she could not regard them as facts without reason.
Agnes maintained the vision she had gained through the connection without stopping. She relied on the keen intuition she gained through the potion to distinguish her location and the surrounding situation and walked back to the hotel where she was staying.
According to what can be seen from the field of vision, the mummy on the flat stone should be the center of the ceremony, and the four people around it are likely to be the sacrifices of the ceremony.
According to the skeletal characteristics of the mummy, it can be roughly seen that it is a person from the Southern Continent, and it was once made into a mummy...
Agnes couldn't help but frown. She did not have specific knowledge of this ritual. After all, unless she became a senior deacon and was responsible for related affairs, the Church of the Mother Earth would not teach anything related to this bloody ritual. of knowledge.
However, if we speculate based on the most basic knowledge of rituals, if this ritual is a ritual of praying to the gods, and the most basic function of the sacrifice in the ritual of praying to the gods is to attract the attention of the relevant gods, then according to the indulgences and their beliefs In the style of the gods, this kind of half-dead sacrifice is not a good choice.
They will either indulge their instincts more, or they will be more bloody, and this situation in between does not suit their aesthetics.
And if the purpose of this ceremony is for the mummy, then these four sacrifices have many possibilities.
Some rituals can be used to take away certain things from the sacrifices, some rituals can use the sacrifices to create certain effects, and in other rituals, the sacrifices are just pure materials.
Agnes could not figure out the true purpose of this ceremony yet.
