Chapter 649 Giant Tree Sacrifice
"Who can save me!"
Not long after, the girl was trapped on the fire, and the soldiers in green armor below also began to light torches.
"Help me!"
The girl let out a desperate wail, with tears streaming from her eyes, but she was still unable to arouse the sympathy of the onlookers. Instead, people became even angrier and even began to throw stones at her.
A gloomy look appeared on Enzo's face.
A feeling of anger spread in his heart. One hundred years after embarking on the wizard's journey, Enzo never imagined that one day wizards would become a being that everyone shouted at.
Perhaps, when the wizarding civilization was just rising in the First Era, something more terrifying happened.
Ignorant common people blindly worship gods.
They simply do not understand that only by being strong can they control their destiny. Facing the endless oppression of gods, they will only become more humble.
"Burn her to death!"
"Evil wizard!"
The people around him were furious, but Enzo felt a little cold in his heart. It had only been a hundred years, but the belief in the Abandoned Land had spread to such an extent. It was really shocking.
"That's all, who asked you to meet me?"
As the fire was lit, Enzo shook his head. After a thought, the shadows under the feet of the girl who was tied to the torture rack spread like a tide.
"Be careful, this is witchcraft!"
The green-armored soldiers who were burning around saw the strange scene and quickly drew their cross swords and looked at the girl warily.
At the same time, surrounding civilians also fled in all directions.
In the code of law announced by the church, wizards are representatives of evil. They come from the terrible abyss, are the incarnation of the devil, and are the minions of the devil. They will only bring disaster to the world wherever they go.
"Hmph!" Enzo snorted coldly.
Next to her, Elena was also facing a formidable enemy, holding a long whip in her hand. The Weeping Goddess's attitude towards wizards may not be as extreme as the Church of the Giant Tree, but it is not friendly at all. If they cannot be used for their own purposes, they will all be killed. die.
On the rack, the shadow has spread.
The burning flame was extinguished instantly, and a look of confusion appeared on the girl's face. She was just a second-level apprentice who had accidentally acquired the wizard's inheritance. Now she only mastered a spell that could heal the injured, and had no offensive ability.
The next moment, the shadow vortex swallowed the girl.
Enzo used the power of witchcraft and authority to directly send the girl to a forest, which was far away from the cold plains. If the other party was lucky, she should be able to find a town to survive.
Then, Enzo's eyes flashed.
The torture rack originally used to burn the witch exploded instantly, and the surrounding soldiers of the Giant Tree Church were affected and screamed in pain.
This is the end of the farce!
Enzo and Elena returned to the mansion, intending to stabilize their situation before gathering more information, and then headed to Kaiyuan City to establish contact with the new king Dylan.
After a hundred years of perception, Enzo also had a basic understanding of the situation in the Kingdom of Kaiyuan.
First of all, several gods have come to the abandoned land.
The original rules here were completely disrupted. In order to compete for faith, the gods began to provoke secular wars. Although it is unclear what the cause of the civil strife in Kaiyuan Kingdom was, looking at the current situation, it is most likely due to the intervention of the gods.
In the Kingdom of Kaiyuan today, the prime minister and the new king are fighting in separate chambers.
Prime Minister Edgar has obviously become a believer in the God of Green Trees. Enzo also has some understanding of that ancient god. When they were in the Lost Continent, they were still in a brief hostile relationship.
However, due to the appearance of the Golden Mountain God, they temporarily joined forces.
Ge Weng, the God of Green Trees, is already one of the oldest gods. He was originally a good god with a peaceful personality. However, after unknown events, he became cold and cruel, and was even more powerful than the goddess of the night.
"What happened to the Lost Continent?"
In a room in the mansion, a thoughtful expression appeared on Enzo's face. The crisis of the Golden Mountain God had forced him to venture into the void crack. As for the Goddess of the Night and other gods, he did not know how to survive the crisis.
Now, they all seem to have arrived at the Forsaken Land.
This is the best place to spread faith. Although the population is too small, it is better than nothing for the gods who have lost their past glory. At least it is much safer than spreading their faith in the northern continent.
After all, this is an area abandoned by wizard civilization.
Sending a ghost ship every few years is already the biggest charity given by the Parliament. The Parliament is not willing to waste energy in the abandoned land, and is not even willing to send a wizard to rule the humans here.
Therefore, the people in the abandoned land have become frogs in the well.
With the arrival of several gods, a frenzy of belief was immediately set off, and a witch hunt against extraordinary beings began.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."
Enzo shook his head. The abandoned land was just a remote area and was not even qualified to be ruled by the Parliament. No matter how many gods tried here, they could not pose any threat to the Parliament.
It’s just that the wizard apprentices here have all become unlucky ones.
At the beginning of the First Era, when the gods ruled, extraordinary power was a reward given to believers by the gods. As long as the ways in which humans could obtain extraordinary power were strictly restricted, it would be impossible for humans to escape the control of the gods.
No one could have imagined the subsequent demonic invasion.
The ancestor of wizards cracked the power of the blood of gods and demons, thus opening the wizard era and driving the gods off the stage of history.
"Next, let's get more information first."
Enzo's eyes flashed as he thought about the next plan. If he wanted to get information about the core of Orain, he had to become a senior member of the Church of the Night so that he could have access to more important information.
Boom, boom, boom.
While Enzo was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Enzo got up and opened the door, and saw Elena and Nicole standing outside.
"Is something wrong?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
Both Elena and Nicole were wearing sexy clothes, each holding a long whip, their faces carefully made up, and there was a trace of desire in their eyes.
"Please, Sir Enzo, help us feel the pain!"
The mother and daughter walked into the room, then knelt directly on the floor, meekly holding the long whip in their hands, waiting for Enzo's whipping.
A helpless expression appeared on Enzo's face.
The creed of the Church of the Weeping Goddess is a rather strange existence even in the Age of Gods. This is mainly related to the Weeping Goddess herself. The Weeping Goddess incarnated as a red snake was a dissolute existence in the Age of Gods.
in ancient legends.
The Goddess of Cry, the Goddess of Joy, and another goddess, are called the Three Gorgeous Gods by the world. In order to gain the power of faith, they even occasionally have fun with mortals, so they are shamed by the gods.
During the day, he witnessed the scene of stupid people burning wizards, and Enzo was in a bad mood.
Therefore, he had no interest in enjoying the two mother-daughter flowers in front of him, but in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he also used illusions on them.
The next day, early morning.
Elena and her daughter walked out of the room with satisfied expressions on their faces, while Enzo headed outside the city and wandered around the icy plains.
Not having set foot on this land for many years, Enzo missed everything.
The former Lighthouse Town has developed into Lighthouse City. It belongs to the territory of Prime Minister Edgar on the surface, but in fact, it has long been ruled by the Church of the Giant Tree and continues to spread the belief of Gion, the body of the giant tree.
"Perhaps I should also inquire about the God of Green Trees."
Enzo wandered aimlessly in the wilderness, his eyes sparkling with luster. To a wizard, any god was of great value. As an ancient god, Gion, the God of Green Trees, had long been on the council's hunting list. .
And if we can capture Ge Weng, the God of Green Trees, Enzo can also benefit a lot.
The Emerald Crow Sani in his body can absorb the origin of the Green Tree God, thereby breaking the confinement of the third-level life form and being promoted to the fourth-level realm, which will be of great help to Enzo.
Not long after, Enzo had arrived in the wild.
A team suddenly appeared in the distance, consisting of hundreds of civilians. Everyone was covered in green robes and had a pious expression on their faces.
"Giant Tree Church?"
Enzo raised his eyebrows, and then followed, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Enzo turned into a shadow.
Soon, the believers of the Giant Tree Church came to an area.
On the barren land, a huge tree grew. Its blood-red branches looked like devil's claws. On its thick trunk, there was a human-like face, and its wrinkled bark was covered with blood vessel-like lines.
"Is this?" Enzo frowned slightly.
From the giant tree in front of him, he felt a strange aura. It was not the green tree god he had seen on the Lost Continent, but a feeling full of corruption and blood.
It's like... an abyss!
"Great God of Green Trees, please accept the sacrifices of humble believers!"
Many Giant Tree Church believers came to the giant tree and knelt down devoutly. A few men and women with numb faces walked out of the crowd, and surrounded by people, they came not far in front of the giant tree.
"Sacrifice ceremony?" Enzo's eyes flickered.
Immediately afterwards, several men and women began to take off their robes, revealing their naked bodies, and walked towards the giant tree with numb and stiff expressions.
The next moment, the giant tree stretched out its branches.
Like tentacles of flesh and blood, it wrapped around several believers. Painful expressions appeared on the faces of the naked men and women, but they still allowed themselves to be bound by the branches, and sharp barbs grew out and pierced into the flesh and blood.
All around, believers in the Giant Tree Church knelt down one after another.
Looking at the strange and bloody scene in front of them, their faces were full of piety. They ignored the wailing of the men and women, and instead murmured something in their mouths.
Not long after, several men and women were completely bound by the branches.
The sharp barbs also penetrated deeply into the flesh, and the blood from the naked men and women was continuously extracted, gradually turning into bodies.
Enzo's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughts flashing in his mind.
Soon, several of the worshipers who had offered sacrifices completely lost their lives, leaving only human skin-like bodies hanging on the branches. However, happy expressions appeared on the faces of the church believers in the surrounding giant trees.
"It is our honor to sacrifice everything to the great God of Green Trees!"
The ignorant believers seemed to have lost themselves and became extremely fanatical. After this strange sacrifice, the huge tree squirmed, and crimson fruits gradually grew on the branches that had sucked in the blood.
"Thank you to the God of Green Trees for your gift!"
Around them, believers knelt down and kowtowed. Several believers stood up and picked off the red fruits growing on the branches. Everyone collected the fruits as if they were the most precious treasures.
"Devouring the souls of believers to restore one's own injuries!"
At this moment, a sudden voice suddenly sounded, and colorful spores scattered in the sky. Eight huge limbs squeezed out from the cracks in the void, and then a complete body.
"No! It's a heresy!"
In front of the giant tree, the faces of the believers changed. They saw clearly the giant spider coming out of the crack in the void, and they all showed expressions of preparedness.
"People in the world are stupid, but they shouldn't be treated like this."
The upper body of the giant spider was that of a gentle woman. She frowned and said, "Why must we sacrifice the souls of believers when the injuries can be healed with time? Your Excellency, the God of Green Trees, is really going too far."
"Hmph! There's no need for you to lecture me!"
At this time, the giant tree suddenly made a sound, and the face on the trunk slowly opened its eyes and said solemnly: "What qualifications does a little thing who has just lit the divine fire have to make irresponsible remarks in front of me?"
After that, Jushu said coldly.
"Why are you the only one showing up? Where are Luciles and Helaya? Don't they dare to show up?"
"Here now, he is just a clone of Lord Ge Weng."
Qiluo, the giant spider god, shook his head and said, "Why does Her Highness Lucilece need to take action? I can handle it by myself!"
"Hmph! Arrogant!"
The giant tree snorted coldly and waved its branches all over the sky. From the lush canopy, corpses with their blood drained out slowly walked out, like a group of soulless bodies, attacking the giant spider god.
At the same time, the surrounding believers also stood up one after another.
"Fight for the Green Tree God!"
Resolute expressions appeared on the faces of the believers, and they all ate the fruits they had picked from the giant tree. Their faces became extremely ferocious, and their bodies also underwent tremendous changes, with their flesh and blood swelling continuously.
"Supernatural power?"
In the shadows, Enzo murmured to himself that the fruit given to believers by the God of the Green Tree represents an extraordinary power. Believers who eat the fruit can gain extraordinary power, but at the same time they will also deepen their respect for the God of the Green Tree. faith.
"Sleep, lost lambs."
Facing the charge of a kind of believer, Qiluo, the giant spider god, seemed very calm and said in a gentle tone. Spores continued to fall from the sky and shattered on the ground, forming an illusory space.
Qiluo, the giant spider god, has authority similar to that of dreams.
As the most loyal believer of the Night Goddess, the Giant Spider God is not very strong, and can even be considered very weak, but it is still more than enough to deal with some ordinary people who have just gained extraordinary power.
As spores fall from the sky, the surroundings fall into illusion.
The faces of those originally fanatical believers also calmed down, and then, like a chain reaction, they fell asleep one after another.
