Chapter 172 The High Priest(1/2)

In a dilapidated bell tower somewhere in Tianlan Capital,

At the moment White was killed by Raymond, a gray-haired old man slowly opened his eyes in a wheelchair.

He raised his eyelids, his brows wrinkled slightly and then relaxed.

There were eight Gothic enamel wall clocks hanging on the wall. The one on the edge suddenly stopped at that moment.

The old man pondered for a moment and said towards the empty house,

"NO.9's life card is broken. Go check the people he has been in contact with recently."

"yes."

There were ripples in the air, as if a transparent figure flashed past.

After the old man in the wheelchair said this, he slowly closed his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunlight. He could faintly hear him murmuring to himself: "No captain-level person has died in many years. The Black Sea seems to be very dark recently."

It’s so lively…”

.....

The screen switches back to the underground ruins of Niguel Volcano.

Raymond killed [Rock Bear] White and began to collect the loot.

He collected all the trophies from the more than ten corpses in the temple. This was the main team equipment of an entire high-level mercenary group. It was large in quantity and sophisticated. What kind of daggers, longbows, swords, armors, spells, etc.

Staffs, elite mail armor, enchanted inner armor... these equipment can probably be sold for a sky-high price in the game.

But for Raymond now, these things are too professional and can't be used much.

The only thing that made him feel comfortable playing with it was the sword accompanying the swordsman guard of Young Master Umu. It was a famous sword [Green Willow] that was comparable to [Mihu]. The sword was as slender as a willow branch, very attractive, and extremely sharp.

A weak tiger.

However, he can only look at this sword now, but he does not dare to wear it with him.

Famous swords are all unique. When you take them out, others will immediately know who the sword's previous owner was.

After all, the murder has not yet come to light.

Behemoths like the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce have countless branches in the Black Sea. If Raymond's killing of Umu is really exposed, it will be very troublesome. Unless he can escape from the Black Sea, he will definitely face a relentless pursuit.

The last thing Raymond cleaned up was the body of Young Master Umu in the pile of insects.

"Hey...is this the Hex space ring?"

He took a long sword and picked through the pile of colorful and disgusting insects, and unexpectedly found a storage ring on the finger of Wumu's left hand.

He was not interested in the bottles and jars containing insects, but he found something very interesting in the ring.

A sealed test tube containing an unknown green liquid.

When the Eye of Truth probed, it revealed such a row of information.

【Ackerman Pathogen】

Detailed explanation: Highly contagious mysterious virus;

"How can the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce have such a thing?"

Raymond looked at the virus can in his hand, and vaguely felt as if he had discovered some huge secret. He only knew that spreading the virus in the Black Sea was the plan of the World Government, but he did not know who was the mastermind who spread the virus in Philip's Territory.

But now...what does he see?

There is such a jar of pathogens in the Young Master’s space ring of the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce!

"The time Susanna learned the location of the treasure from the fat man was probably on the ferry... If Young Master Umu could arrive at Duzhang Island in advance to ambush, he must have been near the Niguel Volcanic Islands before..."

"On the surface, the guard is the Wind Wolf Mercenary Group, but in fact he is a hidden captain of CP9..."

"So, Young Master Umu didn't come here specifically for the ruins, but he had other things to do. For example... who should I give this virus tank to..."

Raymond rolled his eyes. A normal person would never keep such a dangerous virus around him that could infect him at any time. So who was he going to hand it over to?

Thinking of this, he carefully rummaged through Wumu's storage ring, and sure enough he saw a secret letter.

There was no text on the secret letter, but it opened to a map of the Black Sea marked with a red cross.

Under every red cross on the map, there is an island mark, marking the name of the territory.

"Maple Leaf Territory, Black Mountain Territory, Marco Territory...Does the red cross marking these territories have any special meaning?"

Raymond first looked at the coordinates of these territories. Most of them were remote territories in the Black Sea. He didn't understand the meaning of the secret message for a while.

But suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately thought of something.

"No! These territories... seem to be territories that the revolutionary army has secretly controlled in recent years!"

Raymond and Chapman had a casual chat about the situation in the Black Sea and roughly mentioned the development direction of the Black Sea Revolutionary Army in recent years. The territories marked on the map were the areas where the Revolutionary Army had secretly penetrated most thoroughly.

"Could it be that... the last plague in Philip's territory was caused by the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce? These guys are now preparing to repeat their same tricks and spread the virus in other areas?"

Thinking of this, Raymond's face became a little gloomy, and he finally realized: "No wonder someone would pay such a high price to let those gangsters traffic corpses into Philip's territory. It turns out that the Giant Whale Chamber of Commerce was behind it!"

"So... Young Master Wumu is here to prepare to hand over the task of spreading the virus? Who will take over this task..."

Thought for a long time to no avail.

...

Raymond packed up the trophies from the corpse and carefully searched around the ruins of the temple. He tried his luck to see if he could really find some inheritance such as the secret method.

The battle was so fierce that I didn’t have time to take a closer look.

When he was leisurely wandering around, he discovered that there was a row of brightly colored and well-preserved murals at the bottom of the altar. The ink on the murals showed a layer of fluorescence under the light of the fire, giving it the hazy feeling of watching a 3D movie with the naked eye.

But as he looked at it, strange phenomena suddenly appeared on the mural.

"Is this mural so magical?"

Raymond focused his eyes on the mural, and found that the focus of his eyes was getting clearer and clearer, as if people had a feeling of being immersed in the scene. The visual sense in front of him was like wearing VR glasses, making people clearly see

I saw every scene in the mural.

He can even change his perspective at will and see any details he wants to see.

Turning his eyes elsewhere, his vision immediately returned to normal, and the system did not show that he was under any mental control.

"Perhaps...there is some mysterious inheritance hidden in this mural?"

Thinking of this, Raymond's eyes flashed with joy.

He tried to look at the murals carefully in order.

At this look,

This revealed a secret history that had been sealed for thousands of years.

...

"Is this the scene when the temple was built?"

Raymond looked at it like a fleeting glance, looking at it all the way, and he had a rough guess in his mind.

The murals take time as the axis and record an ancient civilization buried in the long river of history.

Somewhere in the mountains, a group of naked slaves used wood to drag and roll huge stone bars mined from afar. They spent many years building a magnificent temple...

Then some craftsmen carved the eight boulders erected in the temple into eight tall stone giants... In the next picture, they built a huge furnace on the mountain to smelt gold, and created the god Nyx with three heads and six arms.

Golden body...

After the temple is built, there is only one picture in the end.

The last volume depicts a scene in which a group of believers wearing animal skins and linen clothes prostrate themselves outside the temple and pray devoutly.

There was only one person in the temple, a woman with a high status wearing a ghost mask.

She stood on the black stone altar, dancing the "sacrificial dance"...

...

"Hey... the high priest of the Nyx civilization is actually a woman? Also, she is actually wearing a Mendelo mask?"

Raymond took a closer look and looked a little strange.

The text on the mural clearly records that this is the scene where the high priest worshiped the gods.

The wonderful thing about this mural is that as long as he is willing, he can even see the expressions of everyone in the painting.

At this moment, he took a closer look and saw clearly that the mysterious totem painted on the back of the unknown high priest was shining with purple light...

The Nyx civilization is a tribal slave civilization, and the priests are the highest-status beings in the tribe, like the living kings. Only eight of the countless priests can personally contact the gods and obtain oracles. They are called "the Great Ones".

priest"!

"Aren't the high priests revealed in the game information chapter all male?"

Raymond smacked his lips.

"The Mendero family is actually the bloodline passed down by the High Priest of Nyx? The Mendero mask is the exclusive sacrificial instrument of the High Priest?"

Raymond looked at the row of ancient Knicks records at the back, and his expression became a little complicated.
To be continued...
