Chapter 833 The Dwarves’ First Impression of the Lizard People Is Brutal and Cruel

No one knew the expression on Pakal's face. Even if he tried his best to imitate the sad expression of the warm-blooded species, to others, he was just a ferocious monitor lizard.

He felt sad because the prophet was coming soon. After experiencing the colorful society of hot-blooded species in the old world, the giant lizard was already a little unfamiliar with the rules of the lizardman society.

The most important of them is the mission of the Holy Seal Dragon.

After hiding for decades, I finally have to...

With a bitter look on his face, Pakar walked to the energy center of the earth veins. He inserted the huge granite on his shoulder straight into the ground, picked up a special chisel and other tools, and began to work on the unformed spiritual vein node under the command of Gaguyar. Take a break.

Compared to Pakar's bitterness, Gaguiar is undoubtedly much more excited. The prophecy of the arrival of the giant snake has been fulfilled. Today's prophet will fulfill the prophecy of destruction and completely wipe out the Skaven from the world.

Belief in hatred catalyzed Sotek. Believers in the giant snake are always thinking about the prophet's new revelations. If they can sacrifice their lives on the way, it will be even more glorious.

Torek led his apprentices to join in the rune carving of the spiritual vein nodes. He recruited apprentices widely in the Mountain Kingdom. There was no longer a strict apprenticeship method in the past. Anyone with talent as a rune blacksmith could become a rune blacksmith. Qualifications for Peak Castle Rune Master Apprentice.

But he still had some reservations about some important ones, such as the ancient holy runes he learned in Lustria. Except for a few closest and determined apprentices, he only taught the skills left by his ancestors.

The seal-cutting process is kept secret and is guarded by devout followers who have gone through the poisonous snake ritual. Their belief in the giant snake will not be inferior to the ancestors' belief in Esun.

And now that the prophet indicated by Sotek is about to arrive, this is undoubtedly an exciting thing.

The seal carving of the obelisk of the spiritual node was delayed a lot and took a full week as Torek was doing it himself while explaining the meaning of the ancient holy words to his apprentices.

The dwarves are responsible for some unimportant but necessary rune carvings. Regarding the runes for the lizardmen's teleportation spells, they cannot participate.

But even if he is allowed to participate, Torek can't do anything about it. The ancient holy runes used in this spiritual node are essentially connecting to the Rainbow Bridge centered on Itaza. This is Taibok's authority over magic, and This is his knowledge blind spot.

After the first spiritual node in the old world except the Southland was built, Elvis celebrated briefly within the knights, and gathered people to go to the Blight Swamp to catch some rats and sacrifice them to Sotek as a greeting gift to welcome the prophet. .

It is important to let the prophet understand that providing so much funding to the Giant Horned Viper every year is by no means in vain.

Twenty thousand rats were caught, 10,000 of which were sacrificed to Sotek to activate the Rainbow Bridge, and the other 10,000 were used to show the giant horned viper's piety.

When Belega was extremely frightened, Torek took it for granted, Elvis was quite relieved, and Gaguyar was extremely excited, a deep pit transformed from the Karak Budar mine was filled with things that came from nowhere. A cold-blooded snake.

Giant cages were filled with rats whose limbs had been smashed with iron chains. The strong smell of feces and urine spread in the cave. When many rat people saw their upcoming fate and smelled the fearful pheromones of their compatriots, they His eyes turned white on the spot and he was frightened to death.

It took a lot of time to catch these sacrifices, but Elvis thought it was worth it. What could be more pious than sacrificing rats.

The Grand Master invited the priest of the Knights to start the ceremony. It was necessary to make sure that all the sacrifices in the pit reached the mouth of the giant snake.

The skilled human priests in the Knights, under the leadership of Pakar, took out the obsidian sacrificial dagger from the rat fur they carried with them. Every uneven crystal face on it was filled with blood stains.

It may have been used for decades, and the user did not care about hygiene and never scrubbed it.

More than a hundred special stone platforms were placed at the entrance of the sacrificial pit, with a 40-centimeter depression in the middle. There was a serpentine drainage channel toward the pit to facilitate the rapid inflow of the blood of the sacrifices.

This sacrificial altar was designed by Elvis. The Grand Master felt that the prophet's method of offering sacrifices one by one on the pyramid was too tedious, and the sacrifices must be carried out in an assembly line to ensure efficiency and sanctity.

Imrik, who had seen this thing, once complained that it looked like a squat toilet. Only the giant snake did not mind being treated as a rat's den.

The wailing Skaven were captured from the cage by the devout followers. After untying the iron collars tied around their necks, they were pressed against the sacrificial altar to cooperate with the priest's next step in the sacred ceremony.

After losing the sense of the wails of the rats, the priests only had a pious heart and pierced the neck of the sacrifice with the dagger in their palms, and then slid it along the aorta towards the heart. During this period, the dagger should not be inserted too deep, otherwise the blood would mark the concavity. Groove is disrespectful to the gods.

Their movements were very cautious and careful, their eyes were full of piety, and they treated the rats that were wailing in the altar like a sacred object.

At this moment, the rats had lost the meaning of being hated. When they were sacrificed to the forked serpent, they changed from a terrifying existence that persecuted the world to a symbol of the manifestation of gods in the world.

Every drop of blood flowing into the pit is a step closer for believers to the gods. The rats are using their lives to bring Sotek closer to the believers.

So sacred, so...indestructible.

The permeating stench of blood, the cold-blooded snakes waiting for their blood at the bottom of the pit with their wide open mouths, the human priests who performed such bloody rituals with pious and fanatical faces, and the unknown poems chanted by the monitor lizards and skink lizards, all made me wonder. Belegar felt like retching.

He considers himself to be one of the most knowledgeable dwarves at this age. When he was young, he followed the late king to participate in the Great Holy War, witnessed the dangers of Nurgle's Den in the Cursed City, and fought fiercely in various places in the World's Edge Mountains.

But all this was something he had never expected.

In the mind of the leader of the Angland clan, the Great Horned Viper is nothing more than a military organization of Caledor that deepens its influence in human countries in the name of exterminating the Skaven.

But this...

Inadvertently, the dwarf saw a rat man whose limbs were not broken perhaps due to negligence.

After it was discovered that the rat man still had mobility, he was lifted up from behind by the priest. Regardless of whether the flailing claws and tail would cause harm, he walked to the pit and pierced the obsidian dagger into the rat's side. Slowly pull towards the belly button.

Needless to say, the internal organs must have been taken out directly. Amidst the tearing wails of the rats, the priest's loud praise became louder and louder.

When his life was exhausted, the rat man who had completed his mission was mercilessly thrown into the pit by the priest, and was kept company with the cold-blooded snakes who had been waiting for flesh and blood for a long time.

How barbaric and cruel... (End of chapter)
