Chapter 168 Curse and Gift (Please Collect, Subscribe and Recommend)
The moment before Li Changhe and others were about to take action, the tallest building in the deepest part of the Sun King City, the Sun King Temple.
Thousands of soldiers guard this place closely. Only the closest followers of the Sun King are allowed here.
And here in the top room.
The high priest and General Tuda were looking at the scenery below them on the edge of the balcony.
From this angle, you can see the night view of the entire Sun King City.
But no one knows that this place is hailed as the most sacred place by the people of the Kingdom of the Sun. At this moment, it was full of the smell of blood.
"Has 'he' contacted you?" General Tuda picked up a porcelain bowl from the table next to him.
At this moment, he didn't look as domineering and majestic as before in front of the city gate.
Instead, he looked tired, and his originally dark curly hair had turned gray. The strong body is even a bit old.
"Let me deliver the sacrifices to the Tomb of the Sun King tomorrow. There is no other information other than that." The high priest was even more miserable at this moment, his body withered like a skeleton.
He reached out tremblingly and picked up a porcelain bowl and drank the scarlet liquid in it.
The two of them put down their porcelain bowls at the same time and groaned in pleasure. The body seems to be fuller.
"The blood of these sacrifices is not enough. This time the sacrifice was interrupted by 'him', and the blood collected is not enough for the two of us to last long." General Tuda looked at the empty bowls on the table: "You are okay , I have to go out and fight. After every battle, I get old very quickly."
"Stop complaining!" The high priest greedily licked the blood at the bottom of the bowl. Then he put down the porcelain bowl helplessly: "You have the largest amount! You can also absorb the enemy's blood on the battlefield, although the effect is not good. But at least you will not eat the sacrifices secretly like me and Ludes." "
"Don't think I'm stupid, as a servant of 'him'. We can only gain vitality through those 'high-level sacrifices'. And the power contained in the blood of ordinary soldiers who died on the battlefield is simply not enough to restore me." General Tuda's hair color has returned to its original color, and his body is plumper than when we met at the city gate: "And you withheld the sacrifices I worked so hard to bring back and stole a lot of them. Do you really think I don't know?"
"And you are also enjoying all this, in order to seal your mouth. I even gave you more!" The high priest laughed angrily and pointed at the table. His originally old and withered body was now extremely strong. Even younger, even the white hair tends to turn black.
General Tuda narrowed his eyes slightly and reached out to hold the scimitar at his waist. The high priest clutched the bone staff beside him.
"Do you want to die? If you fight with me now, you will definitely not escape 'his' attention." The high priest chuckled: "Will the Sun King forgive servants like us who steal his sacrifices? In front of him, God's Is the reputation of the whip still useful? Do you still have the courage to lead your cavalry to charge against the Sun King? "
General Tuda's veins swelled, and he finally let go of the knife handle in fear.
He said helplessly: "Thirty years! 'He' gave us strength and new life. But he also trapped us for thirty years. My soldiers have also been fighting for the Sun King for thirty years. What? It's time to get rid of his curse. Ordinary blades no longer cause me pain, that is, those extraordinary people occasionally hurt me. In the past ten years, all the extraordinary people in this area have been sacrificed. I betrayed Attila and surrendered to him just so that I could continue to enjoy the pleasure of fighting. But now, there is not even anyone in the surrounding countries who can fight with me. Maybe it would be a good choice to fight the Sun King again. ”
"Perhaps you can go east. We haven't sacrificed a few times to the blood of the East. If you can catch their nobles or extraordinary people, 'he' will be happy!" The high priest suggested that the current sacrifice It's getting harder and harder to get.
The Sun King's appetite grew bigger and bigger, starting with livestock, then humans, and then nobles and extraordinary beings.
Although they have become stronger as a result, the source of sacrifices has become increasingly difficult. If one day we want the blood of the emperor of a great country, there is really nothing we can do.
This power is a gift and a curse.
"They are different from Western countries. They are too strong." Tuda thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "Unless the Sun King gives me power again, I will not approach the east."
"Then continue to collect sacrifices for 'him'. However, since 'he' wants the sacrifices to go directly to the Tomb of the Sun King, he must have noticed that we have withheld the sacrifices. Please be careful lately. There is a chance that he will take action against us. It's not time yet. We'll think about it when the three of us are stronger." The high priest whispered.
Tuda nodded slightly.
"Where's the rest of Darudes? He should be here soon."
"Hahaha, young people like to play, so I can make a small stove for myself." The high priest said with a smile: "Now he should be entertaining those 'sacrifice'. If he is accidentally killed, he can also take care of it."
"Won't it be discovered?"
"It's okay, just missing one or two sacrifices."
The words were not spoken yet.
In the night view of the city beneath their feet, a burst of dazzling lightning suddenly erupted from one place.
"boom"
Violent thunder came. It's loud at night.
The two of them froze, and they recognized the stone room where the 'high-level sacrifices' were kept.
"What happened?" General Tuda stood up instantly.
"Did he discover it? Or did extraordinary beings from other countries sneak in?"
"I don't know! But something must have happened!" The high priest picked up the bone staff: "Loods has only been a servant for a short time. His power is not yet perfect, go and help!"
The lightning flashed a second ago.
Loods looked at the approaching black-haired girl and stopped the soldiers who wanted to stop him.
Watching the girl approaching him.
He was already imagining how to make her cry and beg, and then devour her when she was desperate.
As a result, he heard the black-haired girl's laughter, which was obviously a gentle laughter.
The voice was more terrifying and cold than his own.
"I'll show you a treasure!" The girl smiled and stretched out her hand to Ludes.
The space above his palm flashed.
Loods felt a fatal danger and raised the bone staff in an instant.
A magic circle showing this strange rune appeared. This is the power given to him by the Sun King. It is enough to defend against the collision of a bull.
The body also changed in an instant, strange patterns spread all over the body, and the eyes emitted purple light.
Then, the next second. The violent lightning filled the entire field of vision, and the magic circle that he had high hopes for was shattered like sand and gravel.
"Boom"
Ludes only saw a sphere flying. Then he knew nothing.

"Bah! Just give me attributes, not change my body?" The girl looked at the remains of only half a leg, and the soldiers behind her who were beaten to pieces. She spit out a mouthful of saliva in an indecent way.
Shouted to the "sacrifices" behind her, "Let's go! Escape!"
"Fuck!" Moon God looked at these and shouted, "What are you using?"
"Old lead!"
