Chapter 250 Liquid Spiritual Spring, Priest Neisser (please subscribe~)
"Excited, nervous, desperate, but not malicious..."
The silver ring moved slightly.
Su Ye used the power of his spiritual consciousness to sense the young priest's emotions.
The caster's practice has restrained his superficial thoughts.
It is difficult to listen to the heartbeat when only relying on the silver ring and being unable to alert the other party.
However, sensing emotions is enough!
"If there is no malice... you can use it temporarily." Su Ye pondered.
Priests, as the upper class of the city-state, must have much more information than the lower classes...
Su Ye thought for a while and sent a message to Moore.
"I can cooperate... He has no ill intentions towards you."
Su Ye's words dispelled Moore's concerns.
He took the initiative and cooperated with the young priest to give a complete confession.
The leader of the city guard looked at the two of them deeply and gritted his teeth: "Let them go!"
Even though they were both on the first step.
However, the status of priests is obviously much higher than that of warriors.
Spell casters are always noble!
What's more, behind the other party, there is a temple!
The city guard had to let him go.
Watched Moore and the two leave.
"Damn it!" the city guard leader spat angrily.
There was also a commotion among the city guards, and someone said anxiously.
"Sir, what should we do with the next round of sacrifices?"
"Do you want us to participate in a battle in front of the gods?" The city guards' faces turned pale, showing fear.
"Use slaves to pay for it!"
The leader of the city guard looked gloomy and reluctantly said: "I will provide fifty slaves, and you can make up the remaining share." "
Ah, but... I have no slaves in my family anymore... "
Me too..." Cheng Wei looked embarrassed and said in a low voice.
The city guards were also considered good men. They could harvest the wool of passing caravans, and their economic situation should be good...
However, the trade routes were sluggish due to successive years of war.
Coupled with the increasingly frequent sacrifices this year... the city guards don't have much food left!
"Stop arguing!"
The leader of the city guard took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and said in a deep voice.
"You guys do the math and tell me the number...I'll go and think of a solution..."
"Sir..."
As soon as these words came out, the city guards were all moved and burst into tears.
...
Enter Aino City.
The spiritual energy flows and makes people feel refreshed.
In the Far South Continent, there is naturally spiritual energy, and the local indigenous practice system is also based on spiritual energy.
Of course, they call it 'natural source energy'.
But actually, it’s Reiki!
This can be known from the fact that Navason also cultivated the true form of bloodline in the Yaoguang Islands.
The extraordinary systems of both worlds, aura is universal.
Therefore, Far South Continent also has a 'spiritual vein'.
only.
It seems that there are differences between the worlds. The nature of the spiritual energy in Far South Continent is slightly different from that of Yaoguang.
——More condensed, but less agile.
"So, the spiritual veins in Far South Continent are mostly presented as liquid 'spiritual springs'." "
Compared with gaseous spiritual veins... liquid spiritual springs, the spiritual spring water produced can also be used for practice. The only thing The impact is to make it easier for the ruler to control the monopoly, right?"
Su Ye glanced at the most conspicuous building in the city with Moore's vision.
The ground part alone is a pyramid that is forty meters high!
"Pyramid of Fertility."
"Under this temple, there is a third-level top-grade spiritual spring... But the naturally free spiritual energy in Aino City can only be regarded as a lower-level spiritual vein." "At the bottom
of this world, cultivation is more advanced It's difficult, and the class is more strict..."
...
Moore and the young priest were walking on the streets of Aino City.
This city is still quite prosperous.
Passing through the market, there were merchants and civilians hawking, arguing, and making noises. A large number of voices merged into a lively sound. However, Moore pricked up his ears, listened for a while, and then clicked his tongue.
"It's so expensive... Prices are at least five times more expensive than usual, right?"
He had lived in Aino City and was familiar with prices.
After listening to his words, the young priest said without looking back.
"Except for the area near the king's territory, where there is still a little input of supplies, everything else has almost stopped. How can prices not rise?"
"Doesn't His Majesty the King care?" Moore frowned and asked.
"Forget it."
"Just two months ago, His Royal Highness the King sacrificed three merchant guilds that were hoarding goods...even the nobles behind them." "As a result,
prices dropped by 30%."
"But even so, It's still high...Every day, a large number of bankrupt civilians are depleted of wealth and unable to maintain their lives." "
Then where have they gone?" Moore was curious.
After all, the streets of the city are very clean and there are no beggars or homeless people at all.
etc?
Moore's eyelids twitched and his expression changed slightly.
The young priest glanced at him and did not answer.
...
After walking two blocks, the young priest stopped in front of a mansion.
"We're here."
Pushing open the door.
Moore was a little surprised that there was no servant coming to greet him?
Given the size of this mansion, it was a bit small to support thirty slaves...
Moore didn't say anything.
Following the young priest, he came to the living room.
I poured two cups of water and sprinkled a few dried camellia flowers on it, and it was considered a drink.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is [Neisser]... Well, as you can see, I am a priest whose family is in decline." The
young priest Neisser said with a wry smile.
"Moore, an unknown wandering warrior."
"So... what do you want me to do?"
"With all due respect, it seems you can't afford to hire a warrior."
Moore got straight to the point.
"indeed so."
Neisser didn't deny it.
"But, Sir Moore..."
"You were embarrassed by the city guards just now. You should have noticed the abnormal atmosphere in the city, right?"
"Because of the martial arts in front of the gods?" Moore said abruptly.
"Eh..." Neisser was startled, and then said, "That's exactly it."
"Please explain it to me in detail..."
Moore asked. This was not only his idea, but also Su Ye's will.
"This is natural." Neisser nodded, and then spoke.
Five years ago, the goddess of fertility stopped responding to believers and gave back magic.
This frightened the royal family and the temple.
After research, they believed that the goddess of fertility fell into a deep sleep... So, out of faith and the objective need to fight against Tihuacan City.
The royal family and the temple held many grand blood sacrifices in the tradition of Far South Continent!
But...it's no use!
The goddess of fertility shows no sign of waking up.
According to the judgment of the high priest of the temple, the level of the sacrifice was not enough... Therefore, after discussing with the royal family, the 'Fighting before the Gods' was restarted.
"It's also... using the blood of warriors to try to awaken the goddess of fertility!" Neisser said.
More than a thousand formal warriors, and twenty times as many slaves, sacrificed their lives in this year's [Kami Front Martial Arts].
"But even so, the goddess of fertility still didn't respond..." "
So... they targeted the priest."
Neisser smiled bitterly.
Blood sacrifice priest? Moore's expression changed slightly.
"But the priest is a priest after all... Therefore, the high priest set the rules and gave us an opportunity for the warriors belonging to the priest to duel in front of each other." "The winner will be exempted." "
And
the loser will... Together with the priests themselves, they will be sacrificed to God!"
