During his time at the Crimson Keep, Murphy would often hear prayers.
Especially in the "Temple District" of the city, the Church of Avalon, the Church of the Winter Wolf, the Eye of the Wolf God Monastery, the Church of the Holy Light and a group of berserker priests who were seduced by the mountain people and came from the Ice Bay were successively settled. After them, various prayers have turned part of the vampire city into a so-called "holy place of faith"”.
Although the words "vampire" and "faith" are paired together, it always gives people a strange feeling like pancakes rolled with rice and steamed buns, but that is indeed part of the daily life in Scarlet Castle, and in the special situation that has just stabilized. Lancia, the large-scale spread of serious beliefs is not a bad thing for rulers..
After all, this is a world where gods really exist. It is necessary to do as the Romans do. You see, intellectuals like Old Chentou will occasionally go to the Temple of Avalon to stay for a while. Of course, it is difficult to say that Old Chentou goes there to pursue his faith. , let’s chat with Aunt Marian.
Anyway, according to some gossip on the forum, someone saw Professor Chen and Grandma Marianne walking together in the city in the evening, and more than once..
Hello！
Enough of these baseless rumors! You gossip lovers don't even let people of Old Chen's age go?？
But considering that Murphy is now in a large maze where a group of evil goatmen thugs live, it is no exaggeration to say that this filthy underground palace is the most evil and chaotic place Murphy has ever encountered since his rebirth. And now, in this In an "evil furnace", he clearly heard prayers.
It is not the kind of prayer that ordinary believers use to vaguely express their troubles and personal desires to the gods, but the kind of prayer that is very ethereal and can feel "holy" just by listening to the sound..
It is transmitted in Elvish, and every byte is clearly enunciated, and a tone similar to chanting or singing is used at the connection of each paragraph to complete the perfect connection. This is definitely not something that an ordinary believer can do..
In fact, old Eugene, the fanatic of the Church of Avalon, is no match for what Murphy will hear in this regard..
This is definitely a high-ranking priest of a certain sect here. I just don’t know if she is praying for herself or praying for shelter for the souls imprisoned in this underground palace who are bound to be harmed.？
Or maybe it's some evil goat-man secret.？
From the killings just now, Murphy has confirmed that these goatmen carry some of the filth of the astral world. They are likely to carry out depravity in this earth palace, and have even established contact with some mysterious existences in the astral world and even the subspace..
And it can be confirmed from the common physical mutations of these goatmen killed by Murphy that this kind of filth has been going on for a long time..
But no matter what, after Murphy confirmed twice in a row that his soul state was normal and he had not "collapsed evil", nor did he trigger an active counterattack by the Omega program, he frowned, held two weapons, and walked on the star Accompanied by the boundary wolf George, he approached the place where the sound came from..
Although there is no evidence, Murphy has a feeling that the sound of this prayer ringing here and now is clearly attracting him to come there..
However, the Great Underground Palace of Baphomet is a very complex three-dimensional maze. It is very difficult to locate here by sound. This ghost place has obviously existed for a long time. It is a weird building built with complex postures. In order to preserve it, the goat people Their evil secrets have also transformed the three-dimensional structure into even worse forms..
There are many strange covers used to confuse vision, turning this terrifying maze into an almost impassable "underground forbidden area"”.
Not only outsiders will get lost here, but even some goatmen will not be able to find their way back to their stronghold because they stray into an alley. The goatmen who were killed by Murphy just now are in this embarrassing situation. situation, they are obviously wandering randomly in the maze without any purpose..
Murphy speculated that this might be a "sacrifice ritual"”.
He learned from Tris that the Goatmen have always had a tradition of gladiatorial combat and sacrifice. Not making good use of such a powerful maze would be a shame for the evil nature of the Goatmen..
These rude and savage guys will throw the poor people they capture into the maze, appreciate their fear and resistance to death in the process of being lost, and achieve some evil purposes by collecting this desperate emotion.
There are indeed similar evil rituals on this continent. Tris often talked about this kind of thing when she was giving Murphy a psychic class. In the past, similar rituals have occurred more than once on the borders of civilization, causing suffered many horrific casualties.
This is also how some extremist cultists please their "gods".
The vampire lord can be sure that no matter what the goat people are doing here, this evil thing has been going on for hundreds of years under the cover of the Black Disaster, and the despair and pain they have collected through this is absolutely astronomical..
“The goatmen want to please an evil god, no, that's not quite accurate, they want to 'awaken' an evil god.
This underground palace was once the place of sacrifice for the evil god. It was abandoned at the end of the previous era, but the evil god left behind some fallen skills. As long as certain conditions are met, the goatman can awaken it..
Sounds evil, right?？
But this is just one of the countless evils lurking around the Dark Mountains, and yet it is perhaps the closest to realization of those catastrophes that could be triggered..”
Just as Murphy was thinking about this issue, the ethereal voice that had been praying just now suddenly stopped chanting and turned to speak this paragraph in a gentle manner..
Murphy immediately stopped.
This passage perfectly answered his curiosity and speculation about Baphomet's underground palace, but he did not express his curiosity at all. In other words, the hidden lady in front of him guessed Murphy's curiosity..
Even more spooky, she read Murphy's mind.
This made the vampire governor frown, and he released a mind-sealing spell. This was learned from Tris. It is a method that Tris often uses to seal the mind to prevent Murphy from using the power of desire to peek into his mind..
“Well, I can't hear your voice anymore. That quick-thinking soul full of secrets but with a hint of sweet longing for your lover closed the door on me. They say that the face comes from the heart. With such an exquisite soul, I think... You are definitely a rare and beautiful person in the world.”
The voice said with some regret：
“I'm sorry to talk to you this way, but I have to make sure it's you.”
“Your words have a neurotic demeanor of 'prove that I am who I am'.”
Murphy complained, unsheathed his cane and sword, and the wolf at his feet also made a fierce gesture of pounce. When he bypassed the wall in front of him, he saw the owner of the voice who spoke to him..
a woman.
a strange woman！
A very strange woman in every way！
Her upper body maintains the slenderness and elegance unique to elves, and she also wears a silver sacrificial robe, which is dotted with very special light spots, so that her sight will not be blocked in this dark place..
But this is a shadow elf, so her sacrificial robe is not that serious. It looks like some kind of special "sexy costume", with strange hollows all around the supposedly holy sacrificial robe..
but not ugly.
Very subtly stuck in the elusive middle position of "obscene" and "holy", making her look both sacred and sentimental. This kind of ruthless work would not be possible without hundreds of years of dark literature and art accumulation, so she can only It is true that the shadow elves have a "good reputation" in this industry..
Just bringing this dress to the Church of Avalon was old enough for Eugene to yell "blasphemy".
But Murphy did not let down his guard because of the strange temperament of this woman, because against the beautiful upper body, her lower body looked quite scary..
That's a spider！
It's like splicing together a man with only the upper body and a big spider with his head cut off. Although the lower body of the body is decorated with many wonderful gems and accessories made of gold, silver and copper, it still cannot hide its horror..
Six sharp, tough and ferocious spider legs with claws and golden rings support the body of this unique woman..
She turned her back to Murphy and maintained a praying posture towards an ancient wall. This left her lower body almost completely exposed to Murphy's eyes, making the vampire lord extremely vigilant..
And when he moved around to the flank, he was shocked to find that in addition to the two hands on the upper body, this guy also had two sharp, sickle-like slashing limbs where the "abdomen" connected with the spider's body..
This discovery adds a touch of ferocity to this already strange guy..
Judging from the four elf swords, a priest's staff and a faith-style spider shield made of the carapace of some kind of creature placed at the hands of this "Spider Woman", this guy is definitely not just a simple "clergyman"”.
Murphy could imagine her stunning appearance when she appeared on the battlefield and started killing with her weird powers..
But at this time, Murphy saw a certain pattern on the edge of the spider woman's sacrificial robe. It was the pattern of the shadow spider. Thanks to the characteristic analysis of the thirteen shadow elf families described by Adele before, he Murphy recognized it immediately.
