Chapter 333: The Murloc's trump card, the appointment of a bishop

"Blessed One?"

The obsidian altar glowed dimly, surrounded by four towering stone pillars.

High Priest Magosa stood on the altar, her slender figure listening to Chloe's report. Suddenly she looked back with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"In addition to the divine magic, he also has the blessing of the goddess of darkness?"

"Absolutely."

Chloe's true face was hidden beneath the veil. Recalling the scene just now, her eyes sparkled like stars in the dark night.

"At that time, I was at a disadvantage in the duel, and it was he who infused the blessing of [Poison Blade] into the Shadow Blade, severely injuring the leader of the Murlocs in one fell swoop."

"The commander has been brought back and is being held in a water dungeon."

Chloe's tone was tinged with admiration.

"Sherlock's performance played a vital role in the success of this operation!"

Margotha ​​quickly walked down the altar and came to Chloe's side. She looked her up and down and frowned.

"Your injuries are serious. I will personally help you with the treatment later... Where is Sherlock? How is his injury?"

Chloe thanked him respectfully, then shook her head and said:

"Sherlock is not injured because he has been hiding nearby, looking for an opportunity to attack..."

Chloe paused for a moment and sighed, "In terms of timing, he is just like the night assassins of the alliance, precise, deadly, and just right!"

"The blessing of [Poison Blade] was once the famous skill of the assassination master Vitus. I didn't expect it to appear on Sherlock..."

Was he a member of the Assassin's League? Or was he from another sect, coming here for a purpose?

Margotha's eyes moved and she smiled.

"I am becoming more and more interested in his secrets."

Chloe hesitated for a moment, but still defended herself: "High Priest, I think it is very unlikely that Sherlock is an undercover agent."

"Oh?" Margotha ​​looked at Chloe in surprise and said, "Didn't you doubt him before? Why are you speaking up for him now?"

The scene of the handsome young man helping her appeared in front of her eyes. Chloe's tone became a little hesitant, and after a while she said:

"Just... just a hunch."

"Intuition can never be used as a criterion for judgment."

Margotha ​​stared at Chloe deeply until she bowed her head in shame, then she smiled and said, "Anyway, since Sherlock is the one blessed by the Goddess of Darkness, we have to find a way to gain his loyalty and keep him in the sect..."

Margotha ​​had already thought about promoting Ye Zhi, and said slowly: "A five-ring hero is usually the backbone of a sect. Although Sherlock is not a five-ring hero yet, considering his achievements, I believe that he will be satisfied if he is given the position of bishop."

"What do you think?" Margosa asked Chloe for advice.

Chloe was stunned for a moment, with shock in her eyes.

Only three days after joining the sect, Sherlock was promoted to bishop at an astonishing speed!

This is no different from parachuting in a high-ranking member of a sect! But considering Sherlock's personal ability and his outstanding performance when facing a powerful enemy with five rings, and the high priest's intention to recruit him, Chloe can understand the high priest's transfer order.

Chloe took a deep breath, calmed down her mood, and nodded:

"It's all up to the high priest!"

"Well, take this token and give it to Sherlock to convey my orders."

Margotha ​​took out a jet-black bracelet from her space ring. It was of precious texture and glowed faintly, and handed it to Chloe.

"Wait for him to accept the token, then announce the new bishop to the sect!"

In the water dungeon.

Benlang woke up from his coma.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a big pot on the wet shore.

At the bottom of the big pot, the firewood was burning vigorously.

"woke up?"

The young man stood next to the cauldron, glanced back at the fishman leader who was chained in the underground river with only his upper body exposed above the river, and grinned.

"I just had someone build a big pot. I don't know how good it is. How about you go in and take a look for me?"

The fishman leader was stunned for a moment.

Although she had only a vague understanding of human language, she could tell from the man's expression that he had bad intentions.

Immediately, the leader of the fishmen started to curse, saying something to the effect of "Our great fishman god will not let you go" and "The brave fishman warriors will definitely chase you to the ends of the earth!"

"Can't you use some new curses?" Yeats complained, "I'm almost tired of hearing these words..."

"I don't want to waste time talking to you. Tell me the whereabouts of the Merman King."

Ye Zhi's eyes lit up with the light of fear.

"Otherwise, I'll make you into sashimi!"

Zuanya muttered quietly, "There might be parasites, right?"

Yeats tactical blackface.

I'm threatening to chop the fishman into sashimi, and you ask me if there will be any parasites?

The God-chosen talent [Eyes of a Thousand Illusions] can bless illusions represented by fear magic and nightmare magic.

Suddenly, a nightmare-like scene appeared in front of the Fishman Leader. The degree of hell was no less than that of Shang Yang and the five ponies! However, the Fishman Leader was a tough guy. Even though he was in fear and despair in the illusion, he did not say a word, but just kept repeating his prayer to the Fishman God.

Yeats changed his strategy, used hypnosis to put the fish-man leader into a deep sleep, and took out the moonstone given by Lilith.

Since Lilith, the Lord of Lust, has the blood of a nightmare demon flowing in her veins, this dark purple moonstone still retains some authority related to dreams, and can be used to invade dreams.

In dreams, the invaded person will lower his mental defenses, and the power of the illusion will increase exponentially.

For example, the fourth-ring spell [Nightmare] essentially makes the opponent fall into the entanglement of fear in the dream, while the fifth-ring spell [Nightmare] directly invades the opponent's dream with the mind and weaves the illusion of fear.

Different races, different creatures, and dreams are very different.

The dream of the fish-man leader is a desolate island in the middle of the vast ocean.

Huge waves hit the rocks, and the fishman leader named Benlang followed the waves, constantly waving his harpoon and training his fighting skills.

Yeats watched the dream of the fish-man leader from a high altitude in a third-person perspective. With an idea in his mind, he turned himself into the image of a fish-man, fell into the sea, and swam quietly towards the waves.

"Who is it?" Benlang raised the harpoon vigilantly and pointed it at the figure slowly crawling up the shore.

Ye Zhi had used magic to disguise himself as a fishman. On the head of this fishman was a generator that looked like a light bulb, which flickered. He bared his sharp mouth full of fangs and said hoarsely in the fishman language: "Your Majesty is in danger now. I need you to go back and provide support as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty?" Benlang's eyes flashed with a trace of trance, as if he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Your Majesty, where is he now?"

"I only used the prophecy spell to learn that His Majesty was in trouble, but I don't know his exact whereabouts."

Ye Zhi slowly guided Benlang to remember the whereabouts of the Fish King and said:

"You are His Majesty's most trusted general. You should know his whereabouts better than I do."

Benlang frowned and looked at the strange-looking fishman in front of him.

Among the merman tribe, there is a kind of merman wizard who specializes in divination, called the merman prophet, and the merman in front of him looks like a prophet.

Benlang looked up and down at the fish-man prophet and murmured in a low voice: "No... With your majesty's strength, there is no danger... You must be lying to me!"

Suddenly, Benlang raised the harpoon and pointed it at Ye Zhi who was disguised as a fishman, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Tell me, who sent you to approach me?"

Anyone who can achieve the five rings, whether human or alien, has a tenacious character.

Yeats was impressed by Benlang's loyalty and said calmly:

"I'm not lying to you. Your Majesty is now under siege by human priests and Dark Night believers. The situation is precarious."

Looking at Ben Lang, whose face was solemn, Ye Zhi pretended to be angry and said, "If you are unwilling to go back to support, tell me the whereabouts of His Majesty and I will rescue him!"

Benlang was stunned for a long while.

In a dream, people's judgment is far inferior to that when they are awake. Coupled with Yeats's gradual guidance, Benlang finally trusted the identity of the fish-man prophet and sighed: "Your Majesty is now in a palace in a large coral twenty miles away from Portsmouth... I have received a death order from His Majesty. I cannot return before finding the escaped girl. Only you, the prophet, can go back to support..."

The stubborn fishman leader paused for a moment and said, "By the way, did His Majesty wake up the mount under the palace?"

Mount? Ye Zhi was slightly surprised, and said calmly: "Are you referring to the emperor-level monster?"

"Emperor level? Are you kidding? He can be said to be the patron saint of our fishmen. How can he only be emperor level! You..."

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

Benlang suddenly stopped talking and stared at Ye Zhi:

"No, you're not a prophet! How could you not know this?"

Ye Zhi smiled, lifted the illusion that covered his body, and revealed his true human form.

Suddenly.

Benlang's pupils contracted and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

The next moment.

As if it was cooked, its entire body was visibly red, and it roared with shame and anger:

"Despicable human!!"

The surrounding environment began to tremble, foreshadowing the instability of Benlang's dream.

Yeats pulled himself out of his dream.

After regaining consciousness, Ye Zhi looked at Ben Lang who had also woken up and said with a smile:

"Thank you for the information. It saved me a lot of trouble."

"You--" Benlang was so angry that he entered Hongwen.

Ye Zhi left the water dungeon, and heard its long, impotent and furious howl from behind.

"The Fish God will not let you go!!"

"You have offended one more god, Ye Zhi," said Zuanya.

"I have offended too many people, so the God of Fishmen is not even worth mentioning." Ye Zhi said.

Zuanya snickered and said, "I admire your ability to stir up trouble everywhere!"

"However, you are still not as good as I was back then. You still need to work harder!" Zua Ya said in a condescending manner.

Ye Zhi: “…”

You are so proud of yourself for offending two legendary monsters, the Blasphemous Black Dragon and the Storm Eagle King, at the same time!

Shaking his head, Ye Zhi fell into deep thought.

From Benlang's words, Yeats had already gotten the message he wanted.

There is at least one emperor-level magic beast hidden in the power of the murlocs! "The murloc king is also a six-ringed one. Counting the existence of the emperor-level magic beast, the foundation is actually stronger than the Scarlet Society. This shouldn't be possible..."

Yeats rubbed his chin.

"Or, that emperor-level monster is not loyal to the murlocs, but is in an alliance with the murloc king..."

Yeats felt that this kind of tough and powerful enemy should be left to the high priestess Magosa to deal with.

If I could use the ingredients of the emperor-level monsters to cook food and offer it as a sacrifice to the goddess of darkness—

Yeats looked up at the sky and fell into reverie.

With his own food and feasting attainments, it is very likely that he will be promoted from a blessed one to the Chosen One of the Dark Night! "If I can become the Chosen One of the Dark Night, my authority in the Shadow Realm will be greatly increased, and I will also have a higher voice in the Dark Night Sect!"

Yeats began to conceive his own plan, his eyes flickering slightly.

The key is to cater to her preferences and offer the Dark Night Goddess her favorite hellish delicacies at her feast! "What was that roar just now?"

A shadow crow flies in front of Yeats and transforms into the image of a sacrifice to Chloe.

She glanced towards the dungeon behind Ye Zhi and asked in surprise, "Are you okay?"

"No." Ye Zhi shrugged, "I have already interrogated something out of it."

Chloe's eyes widened. This efficiency was really amazing! "Any clues?" Chloe asked hurriedly.

In order to fight against the murlocs who possess royal-level magical beasts, the Dark Night Cult is a force that must be borrowed.

Ye Zhi relayed to Chloe the whereabouts of the Murloc King and the news that there were royal-level monsters living under the Coral Palace.

Chloe's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood the value of it, and said excitedly:

"Sherlock, you have done another great deed!"

Chloe handed Benlang over to Sherlock for questioning, purely out of a trial mentality. After all, heroes are mostly determined, and unexpectedly there is something to gain! Ye Zhi smiled slightly and said to himself, "If I continue to do this, I will soon become a bishop!"

"Also, this is a token given to you by the high priest."

Chloe handed an obsidian bracelet to Ye Zhi and said seriously:

"This is the symbol of the Dark Night Cult's bishop position. The high priest made an exception and promoted you in recognition of your meritorious service in capturing the leader of the fishmen!"

Ye Zhi was stunned for a moment, looking at the obsidian bracelet in front of him, and the corresponding information emerged in front of him.

[Embrace of Shadow (Excellent): Improves your affinity for the spells of the Dark Night school. Enchantment: Shadow Contract.]

[Spell·Shadow Contract: You can sign a master-servant contract with a creature whose life circle is lower than yours. Those who violate the contract will suffer a curse from the Shadow Realm.]

Ye Zhi was shocked.

He actually became the Dark Night Bishop!

I have only been a member of the sect for three days!

At this rate, isn't it possible to become the Dark Night's Chosen One within a month? ?

"The bishop of the Dark Night Cult can guarantee the loyalty of his subordinates through the Shadow Contract."

Chloe smiled and said, "After you inject magic power into this Shadow Embrace, the Shadow Contract previously imposed on you will also become invalid. Come, I will put it on you!"

It turns out that before joining the Dark Night Sect, one needs to sign a Shadow Contract...Ye Zhi thought that since he was an impostor, he could skip this step.

"So, what's the next step?" Yeats asked.

"Disguise yourself as someone from the Vatican and raid their lair."

Chloe narrowed her eyes.

"Force the Murloc King to show up and engage Famula's troops, and we'll reap the benefits!"
