Chapter 967: White disaster is coming
Time passed little by little, and in late October, the first cold wave of the "Great White Disaster" finally came to the grasslands.
The north wind was whistling constantly, and the gloomy dark clouds seemed to be pressing down on the ground, rolling in from the north. Wherever the dark clouds went, the snow was flying, and in just a few hours, the earth, mountains and rivers were covered with a thick layer of white.
In the northern part of the grassland near the bottom of the middle of the Great Screen Mountains, a huge magic circle has also been built.
The main body of this magic circle is rock, and the solid stones are polished into the shape of strips of stone, with runes carved on them, standing on the ground one by one, looking from the sky, densely packed.
Among the countless rune stones, many stone slabs were laid on the rammed ground, and there were also runes on the stone slabs. Together with the established rune stones, they form the "nodes" and "lines" of the ordinary magic circle.
This is a huge magic circle whose diameter is calculated in kilometers. Not to mention ordinary people, even the legendary powerhouses have never seen such a large magic circle.
"Dragon Lord" Rhodes is also one of the technical advisors of the magic circle. When he saw the magic circle taking shape, he once sighed, "This is a scene that can only be seen in the memory inheritance of the dragon family! When I saw it, I remembered The great wars of the Second Era that I have seen in the legacy!"
As for other legendary powerhouses, they have no chance to accept the memory inheritance from ancient times, and the huge magic circle in front of them is only seen in their lives.
More than one spellcaster recorded the magic circle with crystals, ready to pass it on to future generations. However... the service life of memory crystals is also limited. If you can't transfer it in time, a crystal will pass five or six hundred years, and the pictures recorded in it will gradually disappear. Those ancient records have not been passed down, and a large part of the reason lies in this.
In the center of this huge magic circle is the core circle with a diameter of about 100 meters.
This magic circle is not comparable to the simple stone pillars and slabs around it. It uses crystals as pillars, and many consumables are buried under each pillar—mainly gold and silver. Precious gems, pearls, and various magic materials are stored in glass boxes produced by Tara Khan and laid out everywhere in the magic circle. Standing in the magic circle, looking in any direction, you can see boxes of precious treasures, dazzling, just like an open-air warehouse.
Some people joked that as long as you grab a box here and you can escape, not only will you not worry about eating and drinking for the rest of your life, but you will also be able to earn back the expenses of generations of descendants.
Of course, if you want to steal something here, it is really difficult. People with this kind of ability can make money that generations of children and grandchildren will not be able to eat and drink without using it for this big death...
All these things are consumables!
And these consumables are nothing, the most precious "consumables" are a group of specially raised beasts.
A very important part of shamanism is "sacrifice", and among the sacrifices, the most formal and serious is the blood sacrifice.
Originally, according to the opinions of the four shamans, a large-scale human sacrifice was to be held, with one person from each tribe, and the people from all tribes on the prairie were gathered together, and they were killed in the center of the altar, and their lives were sacrificed. Sacrifice, inspire the mighty power of nature, and pray for the help of the ancestors.
However, Ivy, the chief of the horse tribe, opposed this plan. She believed that although the killing sacrifice was powerful, the direction of the power was not easy to control, which could easily lead to the effect of the ritual being skewed. In contrast, killing demon beasts as sacrifices would consume more and have less power. It could be controlled easily and accurately, and accidents would not happen easily.
"In the face of the Great White Disaster, shouldn't it be better to be more powerful?"
"We don't have only this one method. Believe me, my partners are preparing more methods. Therefore, there is no need to sacrifice the descendants of the prairie, and it is enough to use demon beasts as sacrifices."
The two sides had a secret conversation, and in front of some evidence that Ivyin brought out, the four well-respected shamans were persuaded and changed the original sacrifice plan.
Those beasts were chosen to replace the people of the various tribes of the orcs as sacrifices.
They come from all over the continent, with strong blood and power. In order to ensure that they can be killed quickly at that time, some special magic traps are also buried in their bodies. When the ceremony begins, they can explode at once, and they will be fatal immediately.
In order to capture these monsters, many masters are busy everywhere. The masters of the various tribes of the orcs were almost all out, only to catch a lot, and it was not enough, and they spent money to buy some from the Sea Dragon-Seagull United Kingdom.
There are the most monsters in the sea, and the Sea Dragon-Seagull United Kingdom happily accepted this business and helped them catch several powerful sea beasts. These sea beasts are all frozen in the seawater frozen into ice cubes. When the ceremony is held, they will push the iceberg onto the altar and kill them directly.
At this moment, the huge magic circle is busy, and more than a hundred great shamans carefully check each rune to ensure that there is no mistake.
This ceremony cost a lot of manpower and material resources, at least equivalent to the savings of the entire grassland for more than ten years. If it weren't for the unprecedented scale of the Great White Disaster, everyone would be worried, and no one would be willing to spend this expense.
Now that you have paid for it, of course you have to be more careful. The prairie is not a civilized country on the earth, and a large amount of national property is wasted, but don't expect to get away with "paying the tuition" - that will kill people! If something goes wrong, whoever is responsible will die, and no one in heaven and earth can save him!
Among the great shamans, the iron-toothed great shaman carefully checked the runes and secretly estimated in his heart.
(Such a large-scale magic circle may really be able to dispel the Great White Calamity. If so, isn't my plan going to fail? Do you want to do some damage?)
(No! Can't do this! Once found, it's dead!)
(Death is nothing to fear, but if I die here, all my plans will fail...)
He sighed secretly, threw unnecessary thoughts aside, and checked more carefully.
For his plan to succeed, he must not die here.
So after thinking about it, he can only hope that the power of this magic ritual is not strong enough to disperse the Great White Calamity completely.
(I have already done everything that needs to be done, and the rest is just a matter of luck... Then, let fate decide how things will develop...)
Thinking of this, the Iron-toothed Shaman felt a little relieved.
Do your best, listen to destiny. For shamans, this is a matter of course.
As for who will "God" take care of? Who will the **** of fate smile at? Who can say for sure before it actually happens?
