Seeing this, Zhang Mu kept the camera in the right direction and also began to daydream.
Ever since he came to the continent of Thor, he had a very strange feeling in his heart.
Lake is obviously located in a remote corner of the continent, and the commotion it creates is not in line with its status at all.
After all, which small kingdom would dare to harbor the ambition of artificial divine protection?
Above the divine blessing are epics, and there are countless of them in the entire Thor.
As an epic, divine protection is a destination that most people may not be able to reach in their entire lives. If you don’t encounter an epic, you are basically invincible.
As for epics, this level cannot be reached through simple practice.
Therefore, the divine protection is really not weak.
Zhang Mu thought that the reason why they had the courage to create three divine blessings at once was because the royal family of Lake and its subordinates had never forgotten their past glory.
The Ice Empire...
It must have been an extremely prosperous empire.
As its descendants, it is understandable that we want to revive it.
What Zhang Mu was puzzled about was why the place where he landed after passing through the portal was Lake, the town of Cass.
The continent of Sol is so vast that, apart from the empire, there are already many kingdoms.
How did I end up in Lake's Cass Town?
By chance, I ran into Mr. Porter, the number one Lake professional.
Unfortunately, even though Zhang Mu thought hard for a long time, he couldn't get the answer.
There is no relevant clue at all, not even a guess.
Putting this matter aside, he thought about another thing that was bothering him.
What the hell is the Pope?
Le Hehe, the young Pope who was plastering at his construction site, said that he was the only believer in God.
Only believers can be granted the power word.
What about the old pope in the palace?
It seems that he doesn't need to pay any price for using the Truth Word.
There was also the fall of the Ice Empire more than 5,000 years ago.
If what the old Pope revealed was true, he seemed to have intended to disobey God and put it into action.
That would be interesting.
Why didn’t the gods confiscate the old Pope’s mantra?
It doesn’t matter, or you just can’t do it?
If it was the latter, it meant that the old pope was not completely defeated at that time, but...
"Blois!"
Pestoya's loud shout not only woke up Blois, but also interrupted Zhang Mu's trance.
"Come on, continue to deduce the nodes of the development of blood sacrifice."
He was about to continue thinking deeply, but gave up when he heard this.
Straighten the camera with a slightly crooked perspective to record the work the two people have begun.
They took out a piece of brown paper and spread it on the table, looking down at it while chatting about the progress.
Standing up and walking closer, Zhang Mu first walked around the two of them, taking a 360° shot without blind spots, and then gave Kraft Paper a shot.
After doing everything, eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.
They felt that they were the only ones present, and they were confident that it was impossible for them to be overheard, so they chatted without any scruples.
Thanks to this, Zhang Mu also gained a lot of valuable information.
First of all, the blood sacrifice array has been mostly completed.
The remaining nodes can be arranged within twenty days.
Then there are the sacrifices.
Just like what the old pope said, they planned to sacrifice all the city lords who had changed their minds as blood sacrifices.
This is not a small amount.
But compared with being promoted to the third level of divine protection, any heavy loss is acceptable.
They also talked about the king.
The king was unconscious at this time, which was beyond the expectations of the three of them and was considered an accident.
The reason for the coma is related to Potter.
More than half a year ago, in front of the town gate of Cass, Hagrid revealed a secret to him - the beast tide was caused by humans.
Beast tides have often broken out in the Kingdom of Lake for nearly a hundred years. Every time, many low-level professionals would go to eliminate them, but they would end up being annihilated.
The town of Kas also erupted, but apart from a few stubborn elves, no low-level professionals affiliated with the kingdom were seen.
The only difference between the two is that one Potter is present and the other is not.
This shows that the mastermind can track his whereabouts.
Potter is not stupid.
After a little thought, he realized that the beast tide might be related to the king.
Because in Lake, only the king knew exactly where he went.
Others, like Avril, only knew the general direction.
What happened later, as I said before, Potter was not stupid. He would not rush back to the capital to confront the king based on Hagrid's one-sided statement.
He chose to go to the places where beast tides had broken out in Lake over the years to conduct a detailed investigation.
The king knew his character and realized that if his plan was exposed, the two sides would probably fight to the death.
So they sent the saint-level Blois to various places to clear the evidence, and at the same time suspended the blood sacrifice.
Then he fell into a coma.
The king has been absorbing the life force from the blood sacrifice for his practice.
Although low-level professionals do not have much vitality, after years of accumulation, they are close to a breakthrough.
At this critical moment, the blood sacrifice was forced to be interrupted. Without the source of vitality, he was not only unable to maintain his own strength, but was gradually regressing.
If it is allowed to deteriorate for half a year, even if he sucks the life force of all the city lords, it probably won't be enough for him to be promoted to the divinely blessed state.
Besides, Potter would most likely return to the capital to stop it by then.
Out of desperation, he used the royal secret method to seal his own magic core, and in the process, also sealed the vitality that continued to escape from his body.
Before he named himself, he made a deal with someone.
Someone helped him keep Potter out of Lake for a year. After the task was accomplished, the king gave him a top-grade light-attribute crystal as a reward.
Blois didn't know the identity of this person.
Judging from the fact that he coveted the light-attribute crystal, he was undoubtedly a member of the church.
The bait that lured Porter made Zhang Mu silent for a moment.
That's a bottle of medicine.
It was undoubtedly precious, but it was nothing compared to the waves of the Lake Kingdom at this moment.
But Porter went there anyway, and he rushed there immediately after hearing the news.
Because that bottle of potion is a legendary potion that is said to be able to break all curses in the world - God's Mercy.
Potter once examined Zhang Mu's body and concluded that he was suffering from a rare curse.
The purpose of this trip is self-evident.
Zhang Mu held up his phone, moving it constantly to change the shooting angle, and then he stopped where he was.
He thought that the teacher should have vaguely sensed the conspiracy.
Still the same sentence, Potter is not stupid.
I just accepted a beloved disciple who was cursed to death, and you came up with a potion that can break all curses, and you are thousands of miles away.
To insist that it is a coincidence is simply to treat people as fools.
So, Porter went anyway.
The reason is simple, the medicine is real.
If you want to catch big fish, how can you do it without enough bait?
Therefore, both parties are playing their cards openly.
I know you're fishing for me, and you know I know you're fishing for me.
In this case, it all depends on your ability. Let’s see whether I can drag away the bait and the rod together, or you can get the big fish in the net.
"what--"
Zhang Mu felt a little heavy in his heart and let out a breath.
Expand the army, expand the First Army.
If anything happens to the teacher, you will all be dead.
Turning his attention back to the present, the two men were still talking about the city lords on the floors below.
After listening to it, Zhang Mu found that he had guessed wrong a little.
They were not worried about the city lord escaping.
The Griffin Legion, which reports directly to the king, was responsible for sealing off the hotel this time.
Before the king fell asleep, he gave the first command to Blois.
