"Now, go and prepare. We should start a new sacrifice immediately, thanking the great Lord of Ashes for the gift."

In fact, the high priest is very clear that the gift of the Lord of Ashes is rare in a century.

Therefore, if the sacrifice is held again, there will be no new gifts, and it is even less likely that the Lord of Ashes will come.

He is just to incite the funders to pay for everything of the Chaos Embers Order.

Although he looked down on these stupid people, the high priest knew that if the order wanted to develop in Nolan, it had to rely on the so-called high-ranking people.

As for the divine descent mentioned by Aina, the high priest is also very suspicious until now, after all, she was the only one in the church at that time.

Gifts are more common, but few words are spoken, the gods who have been too lazy to pay attention to human beings for thousands of years have really come?

The high priest went to check just now, and he had never heard of any large-scale natural disasters happening around the world, which was completely inconsistent with the records in the book.

Hard evidence, obviously, the little girl was just lying.

No one disputes that what happened this evening has made greedy people even more greedy, and they can't wait to ask for more gifts.

Supernatural power has always been strictly controlled by the Anti-Magic Bureau.

But no matter what society it is, there are always some people who are just around the corner, trying to touch those forces that can make them crazy or even perish.

——

A few days later, the new sacrificial ceremony was ready.

This time the place of sacrifice was in the hall of the villa.

This villa is not only luxuriously decorated, but also covers a large area, so it is no problem to accommodate dozens of people.

Tonight is still a night of heavy rain, white lightning flashed outside the window, and thunderous thunder sounded outside the window.

The hall on the first floor of the villa was dimly lit, except for the flickering candlelight on the altar.

People wearing black cloaks formed a circle, forming an ancient circle, chanting ancient incantations.

Aina was not a priest's apprentice and was not qualified to recite spells.

She knelt in the crowd behind her, her eyes didn't even have a bit of light, she was as lifeless as at the beginning, and she no longer had any vision for the future.

The priest knelt in the center of the magic circle. As the host, his wrinkled face was hidden in a black hood, and obscure incantations continued to appear in his shriveled mouth.

"Infinite calamity, the source of catastrophe"

"The Tired of White Mists"

"The Lord of Ashes Who Obliterated the Stars"

"I present to you the ever-changing mask"

"Show your great body and make the world fear"

After all the spells were recited, he said in a deep voice, "Offer a sacrifice for the great Lord of Ashes."

Two men in black came forward, holding a rectangular dark red case.

On the top of the case is a pure white mask with a black tear drawn under its right eye.

The sacrifice this time is no longer a girl, but a long-dead "relic", and the provider is naturally the funders of the sect.

Their financial resources are unimaginable for ordinary people, and it is easy to get most things, even "relics" are not so out of reach.

"Relics" are items that the Anti-Magic Bureau strictly prohibits ordinary people from touching. Most of them have magical powers, but at the same time they are extremely dangerous. Most of the "relics" have been sealed by the Anti-Magic Bureau.

It is said that some "relics" of the highest order can even destroy human civilization.

The sacrifice this time was not a living sacrifice. The members of the Chaos Embers Order did not leave, but stayed in the villa.

The candles on the altar suddenly went out one by one.

The high priest trembled slightly, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Immediately afterwards, he found that the sound of rain outside the house completely disappeared, the surrounding silence was abnormal, and a strange atmosphere filled the villa.

"Could it be that......"

Is the Lord of Ashes really coming? No, this is impossible. There have only been two advents in a thousand years. Why are they coming at this time?

His heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at Aina. Could it be that what she said was true?

But if what she said was true, how could the Lord of Ashes come twice in a row in just a few days?

The believers were still praying, and only the high priest was the first to feel a huge sense of oppression, like a boiling sea falling from the sky.

For hundreds of years, as the only leader of the Chaos Embers Sect, he has dealt with countless real despairs, but he has never experienced such incredible horror.

"Ah! Above!" Suddenly a believer shouted.

A thick gray mist drifted down from the second floor of the villa, filling the hall, and the surrounding temperature kept rising.

An indescribable voice filled people's minds, and the incomparably huge figure emerged from the gray shadow, revealing an extremely terrifying appearance.

The snake-shaped body like a volcano, the fluttering wings condensed by black flames, and the shape of the body changes every moment.

Because of His influence, the entire villa became extremely bright, and from the outside, it looked like a burning house.

People's faces were full of horror, and when they saw Him for the first time, many people lost their ability to move, fell to their knees, and fell into extreme fear.

The high priest himself was terrified, shivering, and slumped on the ground, not daring to move.

"God..." He almost buried his head in the ground.

burning body standing

On the second floor of the villa, he looked down at the terrified crowd.

Aina also stared at him blankly, as if she had been frightened, but a ray of light rose again in her dim eyes.

Part 7, Chapter 7

Standing on the second floor, Shen Yi took a deep breath.

In the past few days, the sound of the summons finally subsided, and the vibration no longer continued. He thought things had eased.

He was called again tonight.

Traveling through the gray fog, Shen Yi found himself in a gorgeously decorated, simple and elegant villa.

There were many people kneeling in the hall on the first floor, obviously extremely afraid of themselves. From the summons, it could be judged that these people were followers of the Lord of Ashes.

"Again..."

The gravity behind him still existed, and Shen Yi knew that he only needed to hold on for ten minutes.

Shen Yi noticed the silver-haired little girl again.

Fortunately, the little girl is still alive.

Has this little girl been promoted from a sacrifice to a believer? It seems that the "oracle" that he issued is effective.

The high priest was trembling with fear, his mind became a mess, and he didn't know what to do.

For hundreds of years, he has presided over the rituals of the order for hundreds of years, and he is familiar with the classics about the Lord of Ashes, but this is the first time he has seen the god he believes in.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind, and crawled on the ground with his hands raised.

"Great Lord of Ashes, we will offer you the secret treasure of the sinking, the ever-changing mask."

As the high priest of the Lord of Ashes, he is now terribly frightened, and even has the idea of ​​the Lord of Ashes taking the sacrifice and leaving quickly.

As for the gift of God... Surely nothing matters.

He knew very well that the Lord of Ashes was the god of endless disasters, and just his existence was already the source of disasters.

Standing on the second floor of the villa, Shen Yi heard the words of the high priest.

He did not answer but secretly figured out that this person was wearing a delicate black robe. From his position and speech, it seemed that he should be the priest presiding over the ceremony.

At the same time, he has noticed the mask placed on the altar.

The almost pure white tear-eyed mask, with a mysterious and ancient charm, caught his attention and must have been their new offering to the Lord of Ashes.

To disguise as the Lord of Ashes, you must accept the sacrifices so as not to reveal the truth. Once the disguise is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Before being summoned, Shen Yi thought about the worst outcome.

The moment he was summoned, he was immediately pressed to the ground by the cultists, tied up and cut into pieces.

The current situation is much better than he imagined, these cultists look like they are scared to death.

I have to say, Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the cultists can accept the setting of the Lord of Ashes appearing in human form.

As long as you are stable and do not break the rules, you will be safe if you successfully flick the past.

Shen Yi stood on the second floor and did not go down. On the one hand, he knew that keeping a distance is very important for the sense of mystery, and on the other hand, he did not want to get close to the cultists.

He had already thought about it for a long time, and he was not questioned after being summoned again, so he just followed the wishes of the summoners.

Shen Yi said calmly, "Fool and weak mortal, I accept your sacrifice."

Everyone knelt on the ground, and the oracle of the Lord of Ashes appeared in their minds, an inhuman voice like a flame, although it was not human, everyone could understand the meaning.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yi was thinking about how he would take away the sacrifice.

But before he could finish thinking, the pure white tear-eyed mask automatically floated up, it flew directly to Shen Yi in mid-air, and fell into his hands.

what happened?

Shen Yi was a little puzzled. He looked at the mask that flew into his hands. Could it be that this mask can fly by himself?

——

The people saw the "relic" mask as a sacrifice, picked up by the wings of the Lord of Ashes condensed with a black flame.

The high priest breathed a sigh of relief, the Lord of Ashes accepted their sacrifice, he knelt for a while but found that the Lord of Ashes did not leave.

He suddenly understood.

The Lord of Ashes has only descended a few times in thousands of years. As long as he descends, there must be something big. Obviously, He has something to come this time.

Could it be that he wants to destroy the city? Or even the entire Nolan? Or is there a plan to turn the world upside down?

The more the high priest thought about it, the more frightened he became, but he still forced his mouth to speak.

"Infinite disaster, the source of catastrophe, the Lord of Ashes who annihilate the stars, please send down your oracle and let the world run according to your will."

Shen Yi nodded lightly, hey, can't you just let me take the sacrifice and leave? There are still two minutes left.

That being the case, just send an oracle by yourself, it is best to choose an oracle that is difficult to complete and will not endanger others.

Suddenly, a crisp childish voice interrupted the conversation.

"Infinite disaster, the source of catastrophe, the Lord of Ashes who annihilates the stars."

"I want you to know that they are not your devout followers, but liars... Not only are they approaching you for profit, but they are also violating your oracle without authorization."

Aina, who was kneeling behind the crowd, suddenly said something surprising.

Everyone around looked at her, and every member of the sect was full of astonishment, disbelieving her words and deeds.

"What nonsense?" Some people wanted to stop it, but under the circumstance of God descending, they didn't dare to take it lightly.

Act rashly.

The little girl bit her lip and didn't lower her head this time.

"Great Lord of Ashes, what I say is true."

There are often many turning points in a person's life, but if you want to seize a key opportunity, you need a strong enough or even reckless courage.

Aina felt a scorching heat in her chest, the heat surged, and she spit out a mouthful of blood, and red blood lines continued to flow out of her eyes and nose.

This is a sequelae of the operation. She has not fully recovered, and the energy of the burning blood is too powerful.

"Ugh..."

Are you going to die? In fact, Aina was pounding in her heart with fear, and her body was stiff. If she had a choice, she would not do it.

But she no longer has expectations for the future, but there is a burning anger in her heart that makes her eager to stand up.

Even if she was punished by the gods, or even died, or even turned to ashes, she didn't care.

She has been obeying the Order all her life and has never had the right to choose herself.

But now, Aina has decided to stand up.

She didn't want the greedy adults of the order to pay the price, but she didn't want the children in the orphanage...all like herself without a future.
