When the guard began to pray, Lu Ban clearly heard some kind of foreign whispering in the warehouse.
However, although these noises were annoying, they did not cause any pain or confusion in Lu Ban's head.
Compared to the ramblings in [The Wisdom of Fools] that I heard before, these are simply child's play.
"Is it because my resistance is too high?"
Lu Ban thought to himself.
If we look at it from this point of view, then the evil god represented by the statue that the guard worships does not seem to be that dangerous.
Above the blood-like magic circle, some kind of green smoke spread.
The smoke seemed to have its own will and spread towards the water and food in the warehouse.
Even Lu Ban could imagine that once the smoke infected them, there would definitely be problems with the food and water.
During a long voyage, if there is a logistical problem, despair and chaos will surely follow.
Lu Ban saw that the two bags of food near the magic circle were infected by the green smoke and expanded slightly, and a bucket of water was also penetrated by the smoke, which seemed to make a bubbling sound.
However, the smoke did not continue to spread and only affected this little bit.
The guard worshipped the magic circle for a while, put away the statue, and prepared to leave.
Lu Ban decisively hit the back of his head with a crowbar, and the guard completely fainted.
He first moved out the two bags of contaminated food and the bucket of water. When he opened the bags of food, he smelled a foul odor.
The bucket of water was also filled with green algae and emitted a foul odor.
After just two sniffs, Lu Ban felt grass growing in his nose and throat, as if they were being eroded.
"Can diseases and erosion effects be transmitted through this magic circle?"
Lu Ban put these aside, preparing to throw them into the sea later.
It was obvious that the guard was either controlled or bewitched, or was a bad guy. He was instructed by some unknown guy to cause chaos on the ship, and the final result would definitely be Amber's life.
In this case...
Lu Ban took out the statue, looked at it carefully, and found it very familiar.
He looked through the [Silent Department Store] but couldn't find the corresponding one.
"Was this exchanged by someone?"
Lu Ban quickly thought of more.
First of all, if this thing was exchanged by the Chosen One of the Silent Land, then Lu Ban should have a companion. The Silent Land does not seem to be contradictory for the time being and will not instruct two teams to achieve completely opposite goals.
But Lu Ban could roughly remember that this statue should be the [Benevolent Father God Statue], a prop from the wilderness that could communicate with gods. Because it was cheap, he still had an impression of it.
Then, the reason why it disappeared from the [Silent Department Store] and appeared in the hands of Lu Ban's enemy is self-evident.
I'm afraid that one of the chosen ones from the Silent Land exchanged it for something, then encountered another chosen one from a hostile force, was killed, and left this behind.
"So, hostile invaders have set their sights on this place."
Lu Ban strongly suspected that the enemy might belong to the camp of the current rulers of the Washima Taisha Shrine, which was why they were able to mobilize so many people and use this kind of prop to weaken the fleet's defense.
When there is not enough fresh water and food on the ship, even the most loyal guards have to consider whether they should still be loyal to their masters. Most mutinies at sea are caused by survival crises.
Lu Ban felt that this couldn't go on.
He placed the statue on the magic circle, and then imitated the guard just now and made a prayer sound.
After a moment, the blood-stained magic circle emitted a reddish light, and Lu Ban heard layers of illusory whispers coming from all around him.
Amidst the mumbling, an indifferent and grand voice was heard.
"What is it?"
…
at the same time.
On a warship about twenty nautical miles away from the flagship of the witch Amber.
A guy with bandages wrapped all over his body, looking like he was seriously injured, was sitting cross-legged in the center of a magic circle painted with vermilion paint and having a crazy texture.
"Didn't you just bestow the blessing? Why are you here again?"
His name in the language of this world is "Thunder". As one of the two chosen ones to participate in this mission, Thunder was summoned by a man in gorgeous silk clothes as soon as he came to this world.
Although in his opinion, this foreigner was ugly and fragile, he still maintained a certain etiquette for the sake of the mission.
The other party asked him to assassinate someone, and Lei Ting had already told him the specific situation and the mission.
The one they wanted to kill was a witch named Amber.
The supreme ruler of this world seems to be the shrine maiden, or the powerful people in the family from which the shrine maiden comes. These shrine maidens can effectively resist the pollution of this world. And now Amber is a very powerful shrine maiden. If she successfully inherits the Watashima Taisha, then the pollution of this world will surely take more time to erode other areas.
In order to survive, Lei Ting had to complete various tasks in foreign lands, and after witnessing those cruel and terrible things, he had already trained his heart to be cold enough.
What's more, in order for his own race to survive when those great beings gradually awaken and return, Thunder must be cold-blooded and ruthless.
His identity in this world seems to be a killer, and Lei Ting is good at similar methods.
During a previous mission, Lei Ting killed a human and obtained the statue from him. According to Lei Ting's analysis, this statue seemed to be able to connect to a sealed god in a certain foreign land, and Lei Ting's race itself had an understanding of things like seals far beyond that of other foreign lands.
Therefore, Lei Ting made some modifications to the statue, using the power of the god whose residence was unknown, and transformed it into a communication device that could communicate with him through special means.
At the same time, the statue itself possesses the power of corruption and plague. As long as one prays in a specific way, it can send down a dark green mist that is enough to decay steel.
In this case, the Thunder's plan is simple.
Use your own supernatural powers and props to have someone on the ship get the statue and pray when the long voyage begins.
In this way, it won't be long before all the food on the ship will be contaminated, and when the sailors can't help but start to mutiny, Lei Ting only needs to go over and collect the heads.
Originally, everything went in an orderly manner. After the other party's mind was affected to a certain extent, they prayed and spread the plague under the guidance of Thunder.
But how come it's suddenly online again?
Lei Ting felt something was strange and listened carefully.
