Chapter 521: Ceremony
Charles eventually told them what happened.
This is to stabilize the other party's heart. After all, the purpose this time is to save his own crew, not to fight the final battle with the Fortan Sect. Sweet dates are still to be given.
After hearing everything Charles said, the twelve octopus heads suspended in the air stopped in place and said nothing.
A few seconds later, suddenly their cross-pupil octopus eyes shot at Anna.
Anna stuck out her tongue, shrank her body, and hid behind Charles.
"What are you doing?" Charles asked suspiciously.
"These seafood are communicating with each other through consciousness. I wanted to secretly see what they were talking about, but I didn't expect to be discovered."
Eckert and the others retracted their gazes, and they froze again.
"Actually, I knew it even if I didn't listen. They should be discussing the fate of their old enemy. I think they must be going crazy with joy when they hear that even the God of Light is dead." Anna put her arms around Charles' shoulders and whispered.
"Don't make troubles, let's leave as soon as the transaction is over. The longer we stay in this place, the less safe it will be."
A few minutes later, Octor started talking again, he glanced at Anna first, and then said to Charles: "Although this one has changed a little bit, I can still tell that she is a Diwa. "
"Governor Charles, for the information just now, let me remind you that your memory has been modified many times by her, and there are traces of modification from front to back. You have completely become her puppet."
Annoyed Anna was about to say something, but Charles stopped her with his hand. "Stop sowing discord, when will the transaction take place?"
"You don't trust me? I'm kindly reminding you that your memory has really been modified many times. It can even be said that half of your memory is false."
"I don't need you to remind me. It seems that you are not devout enough to you Almighty One. At this moment, you actually have time to talk to me about this. Is His position more important to you than my memory?"
As soon as Charles finished speaking, he could clearly feel a trace of anger in the other party's deformed eyes. "Very well, Governor Charles, please wait a moment. That kind of ceremony is very troublesome and expensive. Let's go and prepare."
The dirt foamed up again, and the twelve people disappeared in front of Charles in an instant.
As soon as they disappeared, the smiling Anna rushed forward and gave Charles a deep kiss full of love. "Love you."
The people around hurriedly looked elsewhere, pretending they didn't see it.
Charles pushed her soft body away slightly, "Now is not the time to do this."
"Why don't you doubt what he said at all? Do you trust me so much?"
"Of course I trust you. You are my wife. That's fine. I'll talk about the nasty words later. Be vigilant. The more critical it is, the more afraid they will make something happen."
"Don't worry, they can't beat us." Anna smiled brightly at Charles.
Time passed little by little, and the spirits of both sides were tense.
But soon everyone's eyes turned to the direction of God's Landing, and the twelve people walked towards Charles' airship with their things in their arms.
As the distance approached, Charles saw what the thing looked like. It was twelve different gold vessels, one of which was very familiar, and it was a statue of the god of Futan.
Suddenly Charles opened his eyes slightly, and he remembered that it was the bottle he stole from Anna Island five years ago!
"This is something from the Diwa tribe. Do you know what these things are for?" Charles asked.
Anna's face became a little solemn at this time, "I didn't expect to spend so much money to hold this kind of ceremony. I remember seeing this kind of ceremony before. I heard that as long as the ceremony is held to summon the old seal, any wish can be granted."
"Oh?" Charles was delighted, "So, it shouldn't be a problem to heal my crew? Wait, can this ritual turn mice into humans?"
Before Anna could answer, those octopus heads quickly formed a circle the size of a football field on the sea surface, and began to cast spells.
The spell this time was not that weird spell from the gods, but an ordinary Earthsea language, but the words they spoke were very jerky and difficult to understand.
"Ode to the 'Ruler of All'! In the name of the 'Seal of Sulu' and all those who obey this seal! Praise the maker of the seal!!"
"In the name of the 'Gate to Yahweh' and all who use it—those who have walked and those who will come, praise those who lie beyond the gate. In the name of 'Who Will Come'..."
The deformed sea monsters next to them started to move. They swam under the Hope Island ship and piled up densely under the octopus's head.
They began to bite continuously, blood of various colors continuously infecting the surface of the sea.
Charles didn't know much about occultism, but he could feel that the lunatics taught by Fortan were using these sea monsters as sacrifices.
Anna saw right through Charles' thoughts. "No, they're just using the contents of these things as a base. The sacrifice hasn't started yet."
"Things? What's in these sea monsters? Flesh?"
Anna didn't answer, she just shook her head slightly.
Crying and wailing continued to sound, and some people were forced onto the deck by the Ftan believers on the steamship in the distance.
Most of the sacrifices are old people, and those of these barren humans are the first to be abandoned.
Knowing what would happen next, Charles reached out his hand, took Lily off his shoulder, and gently stroked it in his pocket.
The trembling little body made Charles understand that Lily didn't understand anything.
"Mr. Charles, why are they doing this..."
"It's okay, just have a good sleep, and it will be over after a short sleep." Charles blocked Lily's ears with his thumb.
The following ceremony was bloody and cruel, and the atmosphere on the entire sea surface became very strange, and the sacrifices began to be dismembered.
After the white corpse mixed with the viscous blood of the sea monster quickly gathered together, it quickly sank to the bottom of the sea where even Charles could not see.
Following the twelve octopus heads throwing the golden objects in their hands into the water, "Shua!" A pair of pitch-black eyes suddenly appeared on the bottom of the sea, followed by two pairs, four pairs and eight pairs, and everyone felt their hairs stand on end. feel.
It didn't take long for these black eyes to cover the entire seabed, and under their light, the sea water turned black.
"God? No, it's not a god. There's no sense of oppression." Charles settled down.
"Why do I feel something is wrong..." Anna said a little uneasy.
"Could it be that they want to fight us now? The possibility is not high. If they kill you, they won't get the position of Fortan."
Charles waved his hand back, and all the crew of the Narwhal were pushed up.
"Come on! Pay attention to their next move! Either they continue to execute the deal, or we will go to war directly!" Charles' voice echoed throughout the fleet along with the broadcast.
