Broad World - Chapter 671
Chapter 668 Altar of Demogogan
Henry wiped the dust, cobwebs and rust covered on the gate, and after a few seconds, the surface relief was revealed. It was a group of humanoid creatures in strange robes and bone masks performing a living sacrifice. \ .\ They sent the captured prey to the huge demon statue, then cut open the victim’s belly in an extremely cruel way, and then took out the beating heart. Several tall and beating demons swallowed these hearts alive. Next, finally reward the sacrifices with strength.
Obviously, this is a typical demon sacrifice ritual. Worshipers usually need to avoid densely populated areas and build altars in relatively desolate and abandoned places, otherwise it will be easily noticed by the mages and priests. Especially the powerful evil force generated during the ritual process can be sensed by even slightly more sensitive ordinary people, and all the conditions just happen to be perfectly met here.
“Sure enough, it is a demon altar. Although the magic power on the gate has faded, you can still feel the chaotic and evil energy belonging to the bottomless abyss.” As Viconia said, she touched the relief lightly with her magic. In an instant, a large swath of red magic aura revealed.
People in the entire Faerun Continent know that when a person or an item emits red magical aura when casting a detection spell, it means that the person is in the evil camp, and the item is cruel. , The secret recipe of evil, such as the soul, bones, blood, and even pain, wailing, regret and other negative emotions of innocent people.
Generally speaking, the darker the color, the more evil and the more dangerous it means. Normally, black and red can only be possessed by a very few maddened guys and demons. It represents the tragic death of at least hundreds of innocent lives. Buckled bloodthirsty butcher.
no doubt. Such a spell is attached to this door. Especially the black and red paint-like things on the relief. It can be easily recognized even without detection. It is definitely the plasma of a certain organism. However, due to the age too old, the evil magic energy stored on the gate has been completely lost, and now it feels a little horrible, there is no lethality at all.
“Let’s go, let’s go in and admire the heroic figure of the first-born Tanari, the most powerful demon prince in the Abyss, Demo Gogan.” Henry aimed at the keyhole and released a second-level magic “percussion technique”. “. With only a click, the heavy door creaked and slowly opened, and an odor of fishy and rotten smell came to the nose in an instant.
“Damn it! What’s this smell? Could it be that someone has been offering sacrifices recently?” Viconia cursed, covering her mouth and stepping back several steps.
Henry resisted the nausea, chanted a spell and cast a three-level magic “Wind Creation”. After just a few seconds, a gust of wind rushed into the gate, blowing away all the peculiar smell, not even the cobwebs and dust were let go, and the empty hall suddenly appeared, with eerie statues and costumes. Giant stone basin of blood. It seems to make people shudder.
Glancing inside, there are no monsters. He took a deep breath, then nodded in satisfaction: “Yes, I think it will be fine. Please put it first, ladies first.”
Viconia snorted and walked in unceremoniously. She moved very lightly, tiptoeing every step she took to test the floor tiles in front to see if there were any traps, and at the same time, she kept observing the statues erected on both sides, as if she was afraid that they would suddenly come back to life.
Henry followed unhurriedly, looking at the environment here. I saw statues of various underground dangerous creatures on both sides of the spacious hall, including Sahua murlocs, Koto murlocs, lizardmen, deinonychus, beholders, etc. Among them, there is a statue of a mind-seating demon. Engraved with the ancient underground lingua franca.
“Release five demon knights and offer sacrifices to the demon prince Demogogan…”
Just when he was about to check the unclear handwriting behind, Viconia didn’t know what she had found, covering her mouth with her hand, and stepping back abruptly, her eyes full of fear, as if she had seen something terrible. The monster, tears even rolled down Zhen’s cheeks.
Following the direction of her eyes, Henry immediately found the reason. In the innermost part of the whole hall, there is a round stone platform, on which is a huge lifelike demon statue. It has two hyena-like heads and a long and slender body, like a giant snake, covered with Dark green scales, the upper limbs resemble winding octopus-like tentacles, the legs look slender, but they look strong and powerful, and there is a split tail behind him.
There is only one demon in the entire multiverse that will grow into this way, and that is the first Tanari demon created by Lord Obiris, after the Chaos, and the most powerful demon prince in the bottomless abyss. Demo Kogan.
It was the first time that Henry had a shock from the heart. It was more impressive than the incarnation of a god, especially the two eye-catching eyes, as if instantly reminiscent of the most feared things in the subconscious. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and then did not hesitate to cast two first-level magic “Protection from Evil” to isolate all evil forces.
Just a moment!
The emerald green magical barrier appeared around the two of them. Although it looked very thin, when I looked at the statue at this time, I no longer had the thrilling feeling, as if everything was an illusion just now.
Viconia quickly recovered, and hurriedly wiped the tears from her face, and explained with some embarrassment: “Sorry, I lost my mind just now. This statue seems to let people see the most feared scene in the heart. , It’s so weird.”
“No, it’s not weird at all. It’s our carelessness. Haven’t you heard of the birth of Dimo Gogan?” Henry said as he took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from the corner of Viconia’s eyes. . “At that time, Chaos created the first demon with the initial fear of mortals. The name was Demo Gogan. It was a nightmare for everyone in this world, and it was also the only one. Can you imagine how powerful this power is? ?”
“No wonder…no wonder I see Varas… It turns out that he is the one who fears most in my heart…” Viconia muttered to herself in loss. Her eyes looked a little erratic, as if recalling the past.
“Who is Varas?” Henry asked tentatively.
But this question didn’t matter, Viconia immediately jumped up like a scared rabbit. Staring at the red eyes, he asked vigilantly: “Did I mention this name just now? You must have heard it wrong.”
Seeing that this dark elf female refused to admit it. Henry had no choice but to shrug his shoulders indifferently: “Okay. Since you don’t want to mention this, forget it. Now we are in the range of influence of the demon altar, and no gods can perceive the situation here, so I want to say anything as soon as possible. Otherwise, after a while I start to wake up the sleeping demons, and this shielding will soon disappear.”
You must know that this demon altar has not been sacrificed for too long, and there is not much energy left. It is estimated that it can only be summoned for the last time, and then it will collapse like other ancient temples. It slowly turned into a pile of rubble and disappeared into the long river of history.
Perhaps because of frequent dangers, Viconia seemed more cautious than anyone. She first tried to communicate with Shar, and found that she couldn’t deliver any information, she took a deep breath and asked nervously: “Why reject the goddess’ suggestion? Do you know how embarrassing it makes me?”
“I already have the power to confront the gods head-on. Why should I participate in her conspiracy? Doesn’t this mean that I’m fighting against many gods such as Mystra, the goddess of magic, and the goddess of the moon, Suren? Say it, Sha What are you going to do with you?” Henry could not see a trace of tension at this moment, with a faint smile on his face.
“How do you know that Shar is going to ask me to do something?” Viconia asked with a curl of her lips.
Hearing these words that were obviously a little breathless, Henry immediately laughed: “Haha. This is too obvious. When you were in the camp just now, you hid on one side and prayed for more than forty minutes. As long as you are not blind, you can do it. Seeing that there is a problem. I bet that if I didn’t explicitly reject it just now, as soon as I got back to the surface, Jasila would directly notify the Harpers League of everything that happened underground, and within three days, Ilmin Steer will come to the door himself.”
Destroying the incarnation of the gods with mortals, this kind of thing itself cannot be kept for long. Perhaps the gods have already learned the exact news, and it will not be long before they will be communicated to their believers. At that time, all the temples and underground forces will Try to make contact, test his camp and attitude, to confirm what kind of attitude will be used to treat such a powerful human in the future.
Under such circumstances, unless Henry’s brain is convulsed, he must express his position and choose to continue to maintain the close friendship with the electorate of the goddess of magic. Only by doing so can he best meet his own interests at this stage. He didn’t want to have an underground confrontation with the Harpers Alliance, because the huge intelligence network that Robert carefully weaved was still in a hidden state, and once the war started, it was tantamount to stupidly exposing his strength.
Regarding this kind of disguised kindness, Viconia sneered disdainfully: “Huh! With your current strength, would you still be afraid of a mere Ilminster?”
“You seem to look down on this great sage in the Valley of Shadows, the first voter of the Goddess of Magic?” Henry asked playfully.
“Isn’t it? He rarely shoots himself, and always hires adventurers to complete dangerous characters. How strong can a cowardly guy like this be?” Viconia obviously looked down on Ilminster’s The way Perhaps in her eyes, only those spellcasters who spread destruction everywhere are worthy of awe.
Of course it is not unreasonable to say so. Look at the legendary wizards with fierce reputation, whether it is the chief of Searle’s red robe or the lich left over from the era of Netheril, few people dare to come and provoke. Because they all know that once they fail, life is worse than death, so as long as their minds are still normal, they won’t think about it.
But a spellcaster of a kind camp like Ilminster is far behind. Unless the opponent commits a heinous crime, they seldom kill. Most of the time, they imprison the opponent’s ability to cast spells. Therefore, there is a steady stream of challengers. Many young mages who want to become famous will try to challenge one or two. Times. This is what the so-called gentleman deceives Fang said.
