Chapter 329 The sacrifice in the forest of the Moon Goddess
"I don't like eating cakes with mint leaves, it's like eating chewing gum." Lancer quickly picked away all the small decorative mint leaves with his hands.
The friends made eye contact, which made Lily feel embarrassed.
Afterwards, everyone started to eat the cake and said some harmless words.
"We must make a plan to rescue her from this Mandan Palace." After eating the cake, Lancer suddenly spoke. His eyes were bright and his tone was almost decisive.
"Lance, you fool..." Tan Lin's eyes widened.
"This is my order, the commander's order. If you still treat me as a friend, help me this time." His tone changed, sweeping away his previous softness and even hesitation, "I must
Save her from the cult, no matter what... I will not turn a deaf ear to her plea for help."
"Calling private soldiers is a taboo." Beth Alcott said calmly.
"So what? After I received the Purple Star Medal, doors that were closed to me in the past were opened. Generals from many factions came to curry favor with me, saying they were my friends and could do anything for me, trying to recruit me into their ranks.
Also... beauties are flocking to me in droves. This is a very strange feeling. I was just a nobody." Lancer said, "Xuanji is not among these people, but is the most reliable friend."
"She has been an orphan since she was a child. She has no foundation in Mangxing City. If I give up rescuing her, no one will care about her. And I once promised her to protect her..."
After hearing what he said, Lily Wu let out a long sigh.
A huge pale moon slowly rose into the dark sky. "Hecate" was like the queen of the night, ruling the land of Gaia with a deathly silent and cold brilliance.
The night wind blew the corners of the rows of people wearing pure black robes. Like mysterious sculptures, they stood motionless in two rows in an empty field deep in the deep woods. They held golden chains in their hands.
The incense burner was constantly swinging, and thick white smoke flew out with the swing of the incense burner. Along with the fragrance of burning frankincense and amber, it slowly spread into the dark and dense forest.
The owl's "coo" call echoed in the forest, which was creepy, and the strange red-eyed birds flapped their wings and made a sad sound. The suspended lights emitted a cold white glow like a will-o'-the-wisp.
A person wearing a pure white cloak came slowly. Mira's pointed chin was exposed under the brim of the hat. She used a special metal watering stick to spread holy water around in the incense and night wind.
Behind her, walking was a person who was also wearing a black floor-length cloak. The thick cloak could not hide her graceful and tall figure. Two maids, who were also wearing simple white robes, followed her and gently moved the fragrant white lotus petals.
Throw it lightly at the person's feet.
When she reached the designated location, Mira turned around and curtsied with everyone, and an almost transparent staircase appeared in front of the beautiful figure wearing a night-like cloak like a patchwork of snowflakes.
The man walked up the phantom-like steps with his head held high, and the two maids Anu and Marta took off his black cloak.
The moonlight, as cold and white as a shroud, shines on the beauty's body, making the special texture of the white gauze skirt she wears shine brilliantly, covering her head to toe like a flowing waterfall.
The human body. The gauze skirt is too thin and the curves of the body and sexy parts are vaguely visible.
Xuanji lowered her head slightly. The super recovery ability of Plato's nobles allowed her hair to quickly return to its original length. A star stone crown with a unique shape, like a radiating corona, rose from her ears.
It was raised high and covered her long, shiny black hair.
She opened her arms gracefully, with two loyal maids kneeling on both sides, making her look like a goddess from heaven descending to earth, but with a kind of cold death in her brilliance.
Then, she slowly walked towards the center of the high platform, which was like a glowing star magic circle. Her steps were so graceful, it seemed that she was no longer the straightforward, simple and generous female soldier Xuanji, but a different person.
A pure white lamb was tied up by its four legs, lying helplessly in the center of the star magic circle, with mysterious symbols shining everywhere.
"Lamb who take away the sin of the world, offer your blood to the Most High God..."
Xuanji whispered the sacrificial language softly, like a spell, and then took the dagger from Marta, who was kneeling to offer the sword, and solemnly drew out the sharp, snow-white blade.
Anu knelt on her left side, holding an extremely exquisite golden chalice, waiting to catch the blood spurting from the sacrifice's body at the moment he drew the sword.
"Abandon the sins of all Gaia people, and use the blood of sacrifice to cleanse the world..."
She stared at the lamb's delicate neck in the dim light. The lamb was controlled by the medicine and seemed very relaxed. She knew it would not be in pain, but when the tip of the knife touched the pure white wool, she hesitated.
At this time, huge crystal-like bright and hard building pieces were turned up on both sides of the high platform, like a pair of hands trying to surround the sacrificial platform from both sides.
Xuanji unconsciously looked up at this spectacular scene, with huge transparent stones surrounding the sacrificer in the center.
"The stone is about to be sealed. If she doesn't perform the sacrificial ceremony according to the rhythm, she will be sealed inside." Mira murmured to herself under the altar, and the other black-clothed deacons also looked at this incomparable statue under the moonlight like statues.
Spectacular scene.
"Mistress, don't hesitate..." Anu was encouraging her, and she sounded very nervous.
"No..." She woke up from the mystery and beauty of the ceremony as if awakening from a dream, "I can't kill a small animal that has no resistance."
While he was talking, the last thick crystal stone like petals sealed the exit.
"Let us out!..." Xuanji held a dagger in her hand and ran to the transparent stone wall in a panic, beating it hard with her fists.
The two maids only dared to continue to kneel and remain motionless. Only Xuanji was shouting almost hysterically around the closed altar.
"Let us out! Let me out! I quit!"
Time seemed to have stopped, no one was moving, everything was trapped in the dark depths of the forest.
After beating hard, she frantically stabbed the crystal-like wall with the dagger in her hand.
"Let me out quickly! I want to go out..."
Xuanji almost lost control of her emotions. She scraped the stone wall with her right hand with her sword. This kind of stone, which is as transparent as thousand-year-old ice, was special. No matter how powerful the sword tip was, it could only slide randomly on the wall, as if the surface was coated with a layer of oil.
, the sharp dagger slid onto her left hand, stabbing her until she was dripping with blood. The blood dripped down drop by drop, but she couldn't feel it at all. She just screamed, then fell to her knees and cried silently.
