Brendel and the others followed the flow of people slowly. When they passed through a long corridor and entered the main hall, they saw many carvings of the Spider Maids on the walls. There was even a tall statue at the end of the corridor that was not destroyed in time. It was covered with a layer of black cloth, and it was obvious that it was the statue of the Spider Goddess.
It seemed that this Temple was originally a Waning Moon Temple. The Sheep Head Disciples did not have the time to occupy the Sparrow's Nest for long, so much so that even the remodeling was completed in a hurry.
However, the other Sheephead followers weren't surprised by this. They didn't even look at the statue covered in black cloth. They either buried their heads and moved forward, or whispered to each other.
Demons worshipped chaos, and their followers naturally couldn't be too orderly. Not causing trouble at the gatherings was already the limit. It was obviously impossible to achieve the effect of the weekly gatherings of the Holy Cathedral of Fire and the believers of the Holy Church. Not only was it impossible, but it might even annoy the demons they worshipped.
The believers passed through the corridor and entered a hall. This hall was naturally in the style of the Waning Moon Temple, but the statue in the north of the hall had been destroyed. The pedestal where the statue was originally placed was empty, and there was no replacement. From this point, it could be seen that the Sheep Head Believers did not occupy this temple for too long.
Brando noticed that along the way, he did not see any related clergy. The original owner of this Waning Moon Temple must not have had a good end. He was most likely a prisoner, or perhaps a living sacrifice.
After the believers entered the hall, they each found their own seat and sat down. Those who did not have a seat stood in different corners. Soon, a senior priest of the Sheep Head Believers came to preside over the ceremony. This ceremony was very simple. It was to sprinkle the blood of a black goat on the believers. Brando, Delfien, and Magadal were already very familiar with the Sheep Head Believers, so they were not too resistant to it. However, Huang Huo and Mr. Liu were not used to it. The blood of livestock was regarded as filth in the Nine Phoenixes. Sprinkling livestock's blood on others was a great insult, let alone upper nobles like them.
Fortunately, both of them knew what the situation was, so they could only grit their teeth and bear with it. Although Huang Huo almost could not help but draw her sword several times to cut the priest who sprinkled the goat's blood on her in half, she could not do it in the end.
When Fang Qi saw the goat's blood flying towards him, he subconsciously dodged and let the blood fall on the ground of the temple. Fortunately, he was standing at the back of the Holy Cathedral, between two pillars. The light was dim. Perhaps it was intentional, but the high-ranking cleric did not notice that the goat blood he shot had missed its target.
This caused Fang Qi to heave a huge sigh of relief in his heart. He was actually not afraid of his identity being exposed, but he was afraid of ruining Brendel's matter. What if Brendel wanted to ask him for the Sacred Jade Sword? It was sad to say that the Holy Jade Imperial Sword was originally the sacred object of the Ghost Chariot Clan, and now he seemed to be the one who had taken over the Holy Jade Imperial Sword.
However, Fang Qi knew the gap between him and that damn guy. Although he was very reluctant, he had to admit that even if he was the Ghost Chariot Clan's genius in a thousand years, he was not enough in front of that man. If he wanted to keep the Holy Jade Imperial Sword, he had to satisfy the other party's request, and then it depended on whether the other party was in a good mood.
Fortunately, the Ghost Chariot Clan had always believed in the 'truth' that the strong were respected, so Fang Qi did not feel wronged. What made him feel wronged was the smelly outfit he was wearing. This was a compromise he had to make in order to enter the Hardlands. Of course, he did not have to enter the port, but when he thought of staying in the swamp alone for a few days, this high and mighty genius had to bow to reality.
The smelly robe of the Sheep Head Cult was almost the limit of his tolerance. How could he tolerate someone spilling the blood of livestock on him? His dodging action was purely a subconscious expression of disgust in his heart. Fortunately, it did not attract anyone's attention.
Fang Qi rejoiced in his heart, but he did not expect that his action had already fallen into Delfien's eyes. The prime minister's daughter immediately reported it to Brando, and naturally, Brando quietly noted this guy's score in his heart.
He was not as naive as Fang Qi in his heart. Perhaps it was because he knew more about the Sheep Head Cult, he knew that the high-ranking priest of the cult must have noticed the abnormality long ago. However, demons were cunning and cold, and everything followed their master. Most of their followers naturally flocked together, especially those who could climb to the top of these cult organizations. Most of them were originally elites in various fields, and they were even more cunning and shrewd. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to survive in an environment where the faith of the Five Holy Temples dominated the mainstream and the cult was strictly guarded against heretics.
How could such a person be careless? The high-ranking priest must have noticed the difference in strength between him and Fang Qi. On the surface, he did not say anything, but in private, he would immediately mobilize people immediately. Moreover, even if the other party really did not notice, when the ritual was about to begin, Akentu's projection would descend, and he would discover that there were people who did not have the smell of the black sheep's blood on them.
Brando secretly cursed, but he understood that he was also responsible. Because of the sudden incident in this secret gathering, he forgot to remind the others of what to pay attention to. He also did not expect that there were three people from the Nine Phoenix in his team who did not know anything about the Sheep Head Cult, and he did not expect Fang Qi to be so deceitful.
However, although he knew that Fang Qi might have been exposed, he did not show any abnormalities on the surface. He only gave Delfien a look, telling her to calm down. Then he turned his head and asked a follower beside him, "My companion, I just came from Martak.
"My friend, I've just rushed here from Maltaha. It seems that I'm still in time to participate in this grand event?"
The Sheep Head Cult follower was stunned, but he did not show any vigilance because there had been a continuous stream of followers from other areas rushing to De Havilland for the past two months. Now the population in De Havilland City — or rather, the Sheep Head Cult followers — had more than doubled its resident population. Therefore, it caused the prices of goods to skyrocket, and there were more incidents of provocation and trouble. After all, the Sheep Head Cult followers were also human, and they had to face the problems of birth, old age, illness, and death.
In the early days, the residents of De Havilland City might still be a little vigilant, afraid that there would be spies or spies from the Waning Moon Holy Cathedral in this' sacred ceremony '. However, after that period of novelty, the locals despised these foreigners and did not even care about their friendship with their followers. After all, no one wanted their original income to shrink, and the things they could buy on the market would be reduced to half of the original price or even less.
Under such circumstances, when the De Havilland residents were accosted on the street, the chances of encountering foreigners were probably higher than encountering their neighbors. Therefore, any vigilance they had would probably be reduced after a series of jitters.
Needless to say, the 'brother' that Brando asked at this moment was also an outsider. The Sheep Head Cult follower came from Otto in the east of De Havilland, and he was just a step ahead of Brando and the others.
Therefore, he nodded and said, "My friend, you're lucky. Although Sir Canud announced that the ceremony would be brought forward, you just happened to arrive a day earlier. If you were two days later, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to make it."
Brando was not surprised by this answer. In fact, he had already captured some interesting content from the conversations of the Sheep Head Cult followers around him. If not for Fang Qi, he might have chosen a more suitable time to cut into the topic. For example, after the secret ceremony, there would be a small gathering among the Sheep Head Cult followers. At that time, the atmosphere would be more lively and chaotic, and the vigilance of the Sheep Head Cult followers would be reduced to the lowest.
But now that he was about to be exposed, he could not care so much. He could only take the risk and seize the time. After listening to the words of the Sheep Head Cult follower, Brando deliberately showed a look of 'surprise' and asked, "Brought forward, my friend, did something happen in the middle?"
'My friend' was a commonly used term among the Sheep Head Cult followers. This term had the same meaning as' my brother, father, and brother 'among the followers of the Holy Cathedral of Fire. Brando deliberately used this term here to reduce the other party's vigilance, but his performance was for the blind, because the brother did not care about Brando's identity at all and only said with some fanaticism, "Indeed, something big has happened.
My friend, I heard that the undead have been defeated. They are about to give up the Land of Eternal Death and retreat to the north. This is a great victory of the will of the Twilight. My Lord is about to descend into this world, and the day of the end of the world judgment is coming. Victory is not far from you and me, my friend- "
Brando's eyes widened. When did the undead lose? It was clearly because of the fall of the Goddess of the Dead Moon that they had to give up the Land of Eternal Death. And in the battle at Fenhotos, it was clear that the Earth Legion had won again. It seemed that it was not only the ruling bodies of the major empires that would spread false news and whitewash the peace for the sake of their own political stability. He did not expect that the subordinates of the Twilight Dragon, one of the ultimate will of the world, would be the same. This made him feel greatly disappointed, and he was full of contempt for the subordinates of the merchant lady.
However, his expression fell into the eyes of the Sheep Head Cult follower, which turned into shock and disbelief. This expression was not surprising because when he first heard the news, his face showed the same expression.
