Abe the Wizard

Chapter 676 - Nam Moutain



676 Nam Moutain

In the past, If an orc that knew how to do a special royal fighting technique, they would give a perfect skull gem to their family priest first.

Perfect skull gems were just as important as top-quality magic gems to human wizards.

Most large magic circles were solely operated on perfect skull gems.

Only one perfect skull gem would be formed in the different death ground, or man made death ground of the orc empire.

Death grounds were made with large amounts of dead bodies, and they needed to be protected. Those pecker orcs in the orc empire were basically born to become an endless supply of dead bodies as long as they had enough food.

Despite that, most death grounds could form some normal skulls with lumps of death qi. You could get some higher quality ones if you were lucky, but perfect skull gems were still extremely rare. That was why most giant magic circle in the orc empire were empty.

On the other hand, only one type of gem was formed in the orc god ceremony. The perfect skull gem. That was why the priest believed it was a gift from the orc god, and it was also why the priests look forward to this once every 10 years ceremony so much.

In the past orc god ceremony, many elite priests would be waiting outside the orc god ceremony dimension, hoping to get the perfect skull gem as soon as the orcs came out.

However, due to the ultimate war preparation this year, only orcs with the rank of a wolf rider captain could join. This had made a lot of elite priests lose interest.

Elite Priest Dono was only forcefully sent here. Due to the lack of an intermediate priest, he had to host the competition as well. At first, he thought this mission would be a complete waste of effort and time, but he somehow ran into someone with a special skill like Abel.

After a few days, the 15th of October had rolled around. Beginner Priest Enli stood on the square of the orc god temple. The square was divided into 2 areas, one was for the 30 selected orcs, and the other one was for the failed orcs.

“The orc god ceremony will begin soon. Every selected orc, gather around!” Beginner priest Enli yelled.

The selected 30 orcs had all taken a clean bath, which they rarely did. Their armor was also scrubbed clean. With a serious look on their face, they walked towards beginner priest Enli.

Abel was the first in line. The others voted this position. The orcs had great respect for power. Abel was the most powerful, so of course, he would be first in line.

“Everyone, get on your mount and follow me!” Beginner priest Enli said, waving his hand. He was very satisfied with how immaculate those orcs were, especially that look of respect towards the orc god on their faces.

Beginner priest Enli jumped on a mount wolf, and everyone followed. Afterward, they headed towards Nam mountain.

Nam mountain looked quite normal, but as Abel kept walking, he discovered countless death qi circles scattering around the mountain.

The amount of defense on this place had made Abel very happy. If he had not transformed into wolf rider captain Beecher, he would have never reached Nam mountain without being spotted–especially since he did not know how to move in a flash.

After entering the Nam mountain, all the orcs got off their mounts and led their mounts forward by foot.

They were on a path made out of stones. There was a difference etching on each stone. Some depicted beasts, fighting scenes, historical moments, and scenery of the orc empire.

Although Abel was a human, as soon as they stepped on this path, all the orcs began to look like they were going on a pilgrimage. Every step they took a part of the orc’s history–the glory of the orcs.

The team was completely silent as they slowly walked forward. Beginner priest Enli was not in a rush either. By noon, they finally arrived in front of a giant stone wall.

Elite priest Dono already stood in front of the stone wall with his 8 skeletons. The stone wall was extremely smooth. It did not have any patterns on it, but there was an indent platform in front of the wall.

“Master, the 30 selected orcs are all here for the orc god ceremony!” Beginner priest Enli said to Elite Priest Dono in the most respectful tone.

“Ok, let’s begin!” Elite priest Dono nodded.

He was not satisfied with this year’s orc god ceremony. There were not many orcs who actually attended, even the ones in the audience. But what could he do? The orc empire was in a life and death situation. Even an important event for the priest, such as the orc god ceremony, had to step aside.

“Bring the sacrifice!” Beginner priest Enli yelled.

At his words, a team of 20 pecker knights came out from a path on the other side of the mount. Those pecker orcs were not on the pigs they were born with; instead, the pigs they were born with were each carrying a spiritual beast. 20 spiritual beasts in total.

“Bring the sacrifice!” Beginner priest Enli yelled again.

A pecker knight placed a spiritual beast on the indent platform. He then took out a knife and plunged straight into the neck of that spiritual beast. That spirit beast twitched in agony, but it was tightly tied up; there was nothing it could do.

Fresh blood gushed out from its neck and absorbed into the stone platform. As more and more blood gushed out, a green light emerged from the stone platform. Afterward, that twitching spiritual beast was swallowed into the green light.

In a few short seconds, the green light vanished with the spirit beast. The platform returned to its original clean surface as though nothing happened.

Abel did not sense any mana wave or death qi wave. He couldn’t understand the strange green energy.

The sacrifice proceeded with no rush. Spiritual beasts were placed on the platform one by one and then vanished.

Elite priest Dono felt a little heartbroken looking at so many spiritual beasts being cutthroat and sacrificed. He knew those were the gifts for the god, but if he had a choice, he would much rather take those 20 spiritual beasts for himself.

Those were not just random spiritual beasts; they were all intermediate rank spiritual beasts in their prime time.

The orc god temple had sent out countless men to capture these 20 spiritual beasts, and most of them had died in the process.

The orc god ceremony could not be stopped since the head priest of the orc god temple had gotten a message from the orc god saying that he needed a ceremony once every 10 years, and the orc god would give out a corresponding amount of rewards.

These sacrifices were important energy for the survival of the orc god. Therefore, even though they might not have a corresponding amount of rewards this year, they still needed to give out the same amount of sacrifice.

Abel was shocked. Although he didn’t know what kind of spiritual beasts those were, he could sense a powerful vigor coming from each of them. They had all reached the pinnacle of the intermediate rank.

It was not that hard to kill an intermediate spiritual beast, but there were 2 challenges. One was to find them, spiritual beasts had a strong connection with the land, and they would often live in deserted places such as mountains, forests, and swamps. You needed a lot of men just to find them in the first place.

Secondly, they needed to capture them alive. Spiritual beasts would fight until they died, so even though killing them might not be too hard, capturing them alive would be very difficult.

Many spiritual beasts would even directly self-destruct their crystal core when they knew they would be captured, so you could just imagine how hard it would be to capture an intermediate spiritual beast.

There were 20 spiritual beasts being sacrificed. How many men had died for this? It was no wonder Abel was shocked.

After the 20 spiritual beasts were sacrificed, the platform began to glow. But this time, it was like the entire thing had turned into a crystal. Green light beamed out from the platform and directly landed on that mirror like a giant wall.

It was almost like the energy of those 20 sacrificed spiritual beasts were unleashed at once, and afterward, the platform returned to normal again.
