Brando came to the Sheep Head Cult leader's side and looked at the guy's condition. He could not help but smile bitterly. The Sheep Head Cult leader's chin had been completely smashed by Huang Huo's punch. His mouth was full of blood, and he was lying in the mud like a dead fish. How was he going to interrogate him? He looked back at Huang Huo, and the latter stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.
"Leave it to me, I have a way to make him talk." It was Fang Qi who spoke. He had walked back with a Sheep Head Cult leader's body in his hand. He probably disdained to do such a thing as stripping clothes. He threw the body in his hand onto a nearby dry mound and said.
"You?" Brando looked at this guy in surprise. The big expression on his face was probably because he did not expect this guy to come in handy. He brought this guy on this trip purely because he might need his blood to enter the Stagnation Realm.
"Hmph, I don't want to wear those stinky robes. Aren't you going to Maltaha? I won't enter the city. I'll wait for you in the wilderness."
"That's your condition?" Brando had a strange look on his face, "You won't enter the city?"
"Don't worry, I swear in the name of Ghost Chariot that I will never sneak away alone. Besides, I'm also interested in the mystery of the jadeite."
"Well, if you insist …" Brando hurriedly interrupted this guy. He lifted the Sheep Head Cult leader from the mud and threw him to him, "We will only stop for a while in Maltaha. You only need to stay in the wilderness for a few hours. When the time comes, wait for us in the south of the town. Don't go too far. I will contact you through the messaging crystal."
Fang Qi took the Sheep Head Cult leader and nodded.
Although this guy was unsociable, he did have his own means. He quickly got the answer Brando wanted from the Sheep Head Cult leader's mouth. Brendel didn't know how this guy made the Sheep-Head disciple with a broken jaw express his thoughts so accurately, but seeing Fang Qi's expression of disdain to talk about it, it should be the Ghost Chariot's secret. Everyone had their own secrets, so Brendel naturally wouldn't force it.
According to the information he got from the leader of the Sheephead Cult, these Sheephead Cult members were heading south to Martaha. This was not out of Brendel's expectations as there was only one town in the swamps to the south. He asked Fang Qi to ask the Sheep Head Cult leader what they were going to Maltaha for. The answer was that they were going to Deharlan through Maltaha to participate in a ritual there.
Deharlan Port was a port city on the sea within the Dead Moon. It was in the south of Maltaha and was nominally under the jurisdiction of Madara. The owner of Deharlan Port was the Holduri family, a dark aristocratic family with a long history. This family firmly controlled Deharlan's port, chamber of commerce, and large and small guilds through an organization called 'Grey Scepter'. According to the information provided by the Queen of Madara, the upper echelons of this organization were almost all composed of secret Sheep Head Cult members. The current head of the Holduri family was also a follower of the Sheep Head Cult.
When Brando first saw this information, he could not help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that although Madara was abandoned by All For One, it was not a pure land in the country. There were also evil beliefs running rampant. First there were Tree Herders, then there were Sheep Head Cult members. Every family had their own problems.
However, the ritual mentioned by the Sheep Head Cult leader caught his attention. The cultists of Wohnde would perform some evil rituals every two or three days, such as live sacrifice, blood sacrifice, or summoning demons. Of course, the object of the live sacrifice and blood sacrifice was not necessarily human or other intelligent creatures. Livestock such as cattle and sheep could also be used. But often, intelligent creatures were used as the object of the live sacrifice, so it must be a very high-level ritual.
It just so happened that the ritual mentioned by the Sheep Head Cult leader was a high-level ritual. The Sheep Head Cult members had spread the news through their private communication channels as early as half a month ago, allowing the Sheep Head Cult members in the Taoki region to gather in Deharlan to participate in the live sacrifice ritual that was expected to be held in three days.
Brando asked about the content of the live sacrifice ritual, but he got very few answers. It seemed that the leader of the Sheep Head Cult was just a temporary convener. He only knew the approximate time and scale of the live sacrifice ritual, and he did not know anything else.
For such a person, Brando had no pity. After asking all the information, he asked Fang Qi to 'deal' with him, so that he could be sent to Martha to repent. However, when Fang Qi pulled out his sword and was about to attack, the man seemed to have realized his situation. He struggled in fear and screamed out another piece of information, intending to exchange for his worthless life. Unfortunately, Fang Qi was indifferent to this and sent him on his way with a single slash.
The latter returned to Brendel's side and relayed the last words that the leader of the Sheep-Head Cult had shouted. It meant that the leader of the Sheep-Head Cult had heard from other people that the ritual was related to the opening of the Holy Land of Atuk.
"What is the Sacred Land of Atuk?" Brando asked.
No one in the room could answer this question. Brando was a little speechless at Fang Qi's' decisiveness', but fortunately, this question was not important. The Sacred Land of Atuk was obviously a place that only the Sheep Head Cult members knew about. There were not many things in this area, but there were many disgusting people. When they reached Maltaha, there would be plenty of opportunities to inquire about this information.
Therefore, after giving Fang Qi an annoyed look, he ordered the others to change into the sheep head disciple's robes. Except for Mr. Liu, the three ladies all expressed different degrees of unwelcome to the stinky robes. The prime minister's daughter was the first to put on the robes with a disgusted look. Then, she put on the hood and quickly took it off. She immediately took a deep breath, and her face seemed to have paled a little.
Then it was Magadal. The Nun Princess held the robe helplessly with a determined look on her face, as if it was not a robe, but a rope on the gallows. As long as she put it on, she would immediately suffocate to death.
Brendel watched as the princess gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind. Only then did she put on the robe, and her whole body swayed twice.
Only Huang Huo remained calm. This little princess even took out a pair of scissors, needle, and thread from her bag. She cut the long robe and made it a size smaller to fit her body. Brendel was a little stunned for a moment. Mr. Liu explained to him that the little princess of the Jade Phoenix bloodline was quite clever with her hands. Most of her clothes were designed and tailored by herself. Brendel couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for this little princess who was supposed to live a life of luxury when he heard this news.
But before he finished sighing, he saw Huang Huo's expression of disgust. She sprinkled layers of spices on the robe, and then covered her face with a silk scarf before putting on the robe. Fortunately, most of the Sheep Head disciples were people who hid their heads and tails, and covering their faces was more in line with their characteristics.
In fact, Huang Huo's actions were quickly followed by the two ladies. The little princess seemed to have been prepared, and took out two silk scarves and spices, which made Magadal and Delfien very grateful.
Seeing this scene, Brando could not help but be a little puzzled. He could not help but lift his sleeve and sniff. Was it really that smelly? As a result, this action immediately made his stomach churn. Even with the level of the perfect body in the Sage Domain, he almost vomited.
"Martha above, how long has it been since these damn people took a bath?"
As for Fang Qi, he had already said that he would not wear these robes even if he was beaten to death. After Brando and he agreed on the rendezvous point, the group split into two and headed directly to Maltaha.
The teleportation point was not far from Maltaha, and not long after, there were traces of human activity in the wetland swamp. Along the way, they also bumped into a few groups of Sheep Head disciples who were also heading in the direction of Maltaha. Fortunately, the Sheep Head disciples were more reclusive, and there was not much interaction between different groups. Although both sides had the same destination, most of the time when they met each other, they would just look at each other and guard against the possibility of separating again. At most, they would just greet each other and ask where each other came from.
And Brando had already asked the relevant information from the leader of the Sheep Head disciples, so he made up an identity. Anyway, no one would investigate carefully. The Sheep Head disciples were followers of the Demons and Chaos, and their actions were chaotic, so there should not be any big loopholes.
Soon, the shadow of a town appeared in the mist. The town in the swamp was obviously not too big. Maltaha was a town, but in fact, it was just a temporary stop for travelers on the road to de Hallan. Even if there were some permanent residents, there would not be too many. Therefore, the scale of Maltaha was not much bigger than a village. The town had more hotels than ordinary villages and towns, and it was also for the convenience of passersby.
Of course, in this area, there were no serious pedestrians or tourists, mainly for the convenience of the Sheep Head disciples' 'pilgrimage'.
Brendel had already inquired before this. The Port of Deharlan was the headquarters of the Sheep Head Cult in the Taqik region, and the current head of the Hoduli family was also the 'Grand Patriarch' of this region. The Sheep Head disciples were different from the Tree Herders. This cult did not have an obvious tree-like structure of a high-level organization, and it could be seen all over Wohnde. However, the Sheep Head disciples had almost no contact with each other, and the 'chief' of various sizes managed the followers in different areas. Most of these 'chief' did not know each other, and it was possible that they would not have any contact with each other in their lives. This was a scattered organization. But since the head of the Hoduli family could bear the title of 'chief', at least it meant that the head of the Hoduli family was the 'chief' of the Sheep Head disciples in the Tauqik area.
