Chapter 243 The Light is Gone
The orc priest led his men and strode to the steps of the statue's base.
Because the statue is over a thousand meters tall, the base that stabilizes the statue is also thirty meters high.
The base is square in shape, about three hundred meters long and wide.
The orcs are headed by the priest, and the orcs behind him are arranged according to their rank, forming an inverted triangle formation on the base.
There are clear distinctions between orcs of different levels.
"Today marks the passing of the previous Orc King. To commemorate the orc heroes, we are holding a grand sacrificial ceremony!"
The old orc priest spoke with great confidence, his voice was like thunder, deafening.
This move can indirectly demonstrate his strong strength among the tough orc tribe.
Above the statue,
Hearing this, Lin Luo couldn't help but smile coldly.
On the Star-Moon Continent, all mages can use the magic network to view historical documents related to the major human empires.
With his photographic memory and strong mental strength, he could finish reading all the information in just a few minutes.
Naturally, he remembered the historical materials of the Star-Moon Continent clearly.
"I remember that the death of the previous orc king was the day when the human race won the war." The smile on Lin Luo's face became more and more intense.
In the last ancient orc invasion,
The ancient orc king insisted on his own way and not only broke the rules by himself, but also attempted to launch a surprise attack on the human coalition headquarters.
You must know that the human coalition is composed of major empires, and most of the people who can sit in the command center are kings of various countries.
Even though the human race set up numerous formations around the headquarters, they still couldn't stop the sneak attack led by this king.
You know, the ancient orc king is an existence that can match the attack power of a twelfth-level mage with his physical strength.
If such a strong man were put into a pile of mages, he would definitely be called a human meat grinder!
So,
In that battle a thousand years ago, the orc king was killed by a hidden human twelfth-level mage, but the twelfth-level mage was also injured and returned to the depths of the starry sky again.
The fall of the ancient orc king also means that they have lost their highest combat power.
In this way, the balance of victory will naturally tilt more towards the human race.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the ancient orc army fled in panic and hid far into the forest.
Although they wanted to keep all the main forces of the Orcs, the human coalition had no choice but to give up because of the appearance of the twelfth-level strongman of the Orcs.
However, this battle also became the most fruitful victory against the ancient orcs in the history of the human race on the Star-Moon Continent.
Similarly, this day is of great significance to the human race.
Therefore, the human race should be celebrating Victory Day now.
"The Orc King deserves the title of 'Martyr'? This is the face of a bandit of the Orcs!"
Lin Luo looked down at the orc priest who was kneeling in front of the statue and performing a sacrificial ceremony.
Not only did he not feel any sympathy in his heart, but he even wanted to laugh.
After the death of the ancient orc king, these guys finally behaved themselves for thousands of years and did not launch a large-scale invasion.
This peaceful state lasted until a hundred years ago, when a new king emerged among the Orcs.
This was what he heard the orc guards talk about, the orc king who blew up the alchemical battleship with one punch.
However, the battle a hundred years ago came and went quickly.
It is more like a test by the ancient orcs, and its purpose is to find out the specific details of the human race.
Calming down, Lin Luo no longer cared whether the ancient orc king would launch an all-out war against the human race again.
The most an eighth-level wizard like him could do was to make more scrolls to strengthen the power of the upper and middle reaches of the human empire.
Or, sell Davis an improved version of the unlimited scroll.
While earning magic crystals, you can also enhance the foundation of the human race on the Star-Moon Continent.
Then, Lin Luo looked around the statue.
To be honest, when hundreds of thousands of orcs gathered together and squeezed onto the small plain opened up in the Dark Night Forest, the scene was naturally very spectacular.
If a timid person accidentally breaks in here and sees the ferocious orcs all over the ground, he will probably be scared to the point of his legs going weak.
As soon as the orc priest finished speaking, hundreds of orcs began to move back and forth between the treasury and the statue.
Without exception, they all held a roughly crafted square crystal in their hands.
And on these crystals, Lin Luo could sense faint spatial rules.
He maintained a cross-legged sitting posture, muttering in his heart, "Judging from the spatial power flowing through the crystal, the producer's strength should not have reached the level of cultivating the second-grade spatial rules of the human way."
The basis for his judgment was that the spatial force on these crystals was too weak.
If Lin Luo wanted to, he could activate these spatial rules in an instant to destroy the spatial stability of the crystal and let the resources stored in it fall into the turbulence of time and space.
But if he did so, he would be exposed and affect his subsequent plans.
During these six days, Lin Luo absorbed nearly eighty percent of the power of faith in the statue.
However, he became more and more adept at absorbing it, and he believed that it would take less than a day to absorb the remaining 20%.
The sacrificial ceremony is still going on.
But in Lin Luo's eyes, this scene looked like a young robber visiting the grave of an old robber.
As the crystal was brought to the foot of the statue by the orc guards, the resources stored in it were released and scattered on the ground of the base.
Seeing this, the orc priest immediately spoke up and shouted: "Today, with our ancient orc god as witness,
I, Rugdorf, as the priest of the Rug tribe, will use the following resources as a sacrifice to the gods!
For example: 76.4 billion magic crystals of various types, 13,400 magic potions, 170,000 magic cores of various magical beasts...
The above is the storage of the Ruge tribe in the past hundred years.
We are willing to offer these sacrifices and ask the gods to grant us strength so that we can bring more glory to the great ancient orcs!"
At this moment, the other orcs also shouted loudly:
"For the tribe!"
"For glory!"
The orcs were in high spirits and kept shouting the orc slogans loudly.
Lorraine, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but be surprised by the generosity of the orcs.
Not to mention the hundreds of billions of magic crystals piled up into a small mountain, even the huge number of magic potions and magic cores made Lin Luo breathe rapidly and his eyes slightly red.
Even though Leonard knew from his memories that orcs were rich, he never imagined that the orcs would be so rich.
What's more, this is just the inventory of a small tribe over the past hundred years!
It is hard to imagine how huge the number would be if all the resources consumed by the entire ancient orc tribe over the years were added together?
Of course, it is only because the ancient orcs rely on their bandit nature to plunder all over the Star-Moon Continent that they can afford such consumption.
Otherwise, it would be a daydream for these ancient orcs who are not good at business to possess so many resources within ten years.
But at the same time, Lin Luo was more interested in how the statue worked.
He looked at the expressions of the many orcs and said to himself, "These orcs have serious expressions, I'm not surprised.
It seems that they are very sure about the mechanism by which the statue can reflect power..."
It can be seen that this is not the first time that orcs have sacrificed resources.
Moreover, some old orcs proudly boasted to their younger generations about how grand the sacrificial ceremonies were hundreds of years ago.
Seeing the longing on the face of the orc's descendant, Lin Luo couldn't help but frown.
This is the legacy of the robbers.
Among these ancient orcs, there are few who are innocent!
Of course, the orcs' actions are also very consistent with the law of the jungle.
The strong prey on the weak.
This is the rule of survival in this world.
Especially in the current environment where thousands of races coexist, the actions of the orcs will only make them more powerful.
After a moment, the orc priest slowly raised his hand.
His hands moved with great skill, and a complicated and ancient model of the technique took shape rapidly.
At this moment,
A flash of golden light suddenly shot out from the palm of the statue's hand and instantly fell onto the base.
However, the resources covered by the golden light showed signs of melting in just an instant, and even the mountains of magic crystals were no exception!
When these resources melted, they did not turn into ashes, but turned into starlight and merged into the statue.
Not long after,
The entire statue was shrouded in golden light, shining brightly like a miracle.
At this moment, an aura that seemed to come from ancient times suddenly emanated from the interior of the statue. It was ancient, heavy, and frightening.
At this point, the orcs' gazes became extremely fanatical, and they all bowed down solemnly and knelt in worship.
The orc priest, his face filled with excitement, knelt down and worshiped, shouting, "The orc god who protects us has appeared!
His divine light will shine upon us, His kingdom of God will guide us, and will bestow great power upon us humble believers!
May my God be immortal and live forever! "
"May my God be immortal and live forever!"
More than a hundred thousand orcs shouted in unison, shaking the earth slightly.
They wanted to use this to show their awe of the gods!
Seeing this, Lin Luo seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized it.
He raised his eyebrows and said solemnly, "So there's an old guy in there. No wonder I couldn't see through the details of this statue.
Is this... the orc god's backup plan?"
Although the orc god has fallen, his will still has divine power.
If given enough power, these gods may be able to "resurrect" by their will.
And deep within these orc statues, Lin Luo could feel a will from a higher dimension.
Chaos, disorder, disarray...
This will has no clear thinking, it is like... a collection of contradictions.
I think, perhaps this is the remaining consciousness of the ancient orc god.
Every hundred years, a lot of the power of faith in the statue must have been consumed by this will.
Thinking of this, Lin Luo took a deep breath and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.
There was actually a main god sitting under his body!
Could there be any news more shocking than this?
What comforted him was that this ray of divine consciousness was very hazy and chaotic.
If not, he would never be sitting so comfortably on the head of the statue now.
"Maybe I can go back and brag about it. I stepped on a god!"
Lin Luo thought about it for a while,
Immediately, he whispered to the system in his heart, wanting to seek help.
Things like this that go against the gods should be left to professionals.
He didn't have to wait long, Ling's chat window popped up instantly.
“Lin Luo!
Why is it that whenever something good happens to you, you always think of the system, that guy who has no independent thoughts.
Mom... well, what's wrong with me?
We gave you discounts and free tutorials, and even though we let you get away with it so many times, it was all in vain!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, her resentment seemed to turn into reality, and Lin Luo seemed to be able to smell a sour smell even across the dimension.
"Why are you so resentful?" Lin Luo looked confused.
The reason why he thought of the system was simply because the system usually performed more reliably, but Ling was just like a girl next door.
When encountering difficulties, it goes without saying who to turn to first.
The girl next door?
hehe,
Vaguely sensing Lin Luo's thoughts, Ling felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, but still remained calm.
She said coldly, "It's not that I want you to call me, but I think you have business but don't share it with me. I think you are despicable. Don't have any other ideas."
His behavior of calling the system is equivalent to business betrayal!
How can you tolerate going to the concubine in front of the main wife?
Just thinking,
Ling suddenly slapped his face, looking strange, and thought to himself: "No, I definitely didn't mean to use this metaphor."
Lin Luo didn't know what she was thinking, so he chuckled and said, "Okay, I'm right, right? I didn't think of you.
but,
Can you resolve this divine consciousness?"
"What's with that tone of voice? Don't look down on me!"
Ling was a little exasperated, and said confidently: "It's just a wisp of divine consciousness, no big deal."
Knowing that the other party would not speak without purpose, Lin Luo got the answer he wanted and asked, "Ling, how much experience do you think I can get if I give my divine consciousness to the system?"
"Well???"
Good job!
Still thinking about it in front of me?
"Don't ask, the answer is there is no experience value!" The spiritual energy is not good enough.
However, she was just speaking in anger.
Ling could of course see that Lin Luo's purpose in saying this was just to bargain with her.
after all,
According to the system rules, if this wisp of divine consciousness is absorbed by the system, Lin Luo, as the discoverer, will definitely gain a considerable amount of experience points.
Based on this point, he has the qualifications to negotiate.
Ling could only sigh helplessly and continued, “Although I don’t have any experience points to give you, I can give you a treasure chest, which is much more useful than experience points.
This way, it’s not a loss, right?”
"Okay." Lin Luo nodded with satisfaction.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely not agree to exchange a treasure chest for a huge amount of experience points.
But is Lin Luo an ordinary person?
no!
If the rewarded experience points cannot allow him to reach the twelfth level, then this experience point is not as good as a treasure chest.
Anyway, experience points can be earned slowly, but treasure chests...
It's purely a behind-the-scenes operation of the spirit and system.
If I don’t seize the opportunity this time, I don’t know when I’ll find the next treasure chest.
Ling acted very quickly, seemingly because he was worried that Lin Luo would go back on his word.
At the same time he agreed,
In the vision of Lin Luo's true eyes, the sacred will on the statue was pulled out from the inside of the statue by an invisible force like dough being pulled, and was quickly swallowed by the void.
The next second,
【bite--
Your treasure box has arrived, please check it! 】
After watching the whole process, Lin Luo's eyes twitched, and he had a lot of complaints but didn't know who to confide in.
Divine consciousness?
That’s it?
Of course, it wasn’t just Lin Luo who was speechless, there were also the orcs kneeling before the statue.
"The light... is gone?"
