Chapter 114 Praise the Skull Lord_3
Kana said, "The domain held by this evil god encompasses cruelty, slaughter, and conflict. I believe you can also feel the brutality within its domain.
This means that, if needed, it can very easily influence most races, as conflicts or even wars between races are nothing out of the ordinary."
Hearing this, Alyris and her group understood.
After all, they had just learned from Bobo about the Gray Mountain Dwarves, who are considered relatively belligerent among the dwarf tribes.
Viewed this way, it is understandable why the dwarves can be easily influenced.
"So how can we now remove such curses and influences? Locking them below isn't a long-term solution.
As time goes on, it will only worsen. We must find a way to solve this issue," said the Castle Lord.
Kana extended a finger, "To temporarily suppress such curses and influences, all that's needed is to set up a purification ceremony.
I will provide a purification ceremony against this evil god's power. As long as purification is carried out, they can temporarily awaken and once again suppress the desire for battle in their hearts.
This way, their danger can be well contained."
After speaking, Kana emphasized once again, "But such a solution only addresses the symptoms and not the root cause. Essentially, they are still in a status of being influenced and cursed."
"Tell us, friend, how we can solve the problem once and for all," Lurik asked.
Since it has come to this, if Kana doesn't have a solution, it's practically impossible.
"Just like last time," Kana said with a smile.
"The same? … Are you suggesting we eliminate the source?" Lurik inquired.
After all, last time, they had directly taken out the traitor among them, resolving the source of the problem.
Kana nodded with a smile; that's exactly what he meant.
"That's right. Such a level of influence cannot be triggered by mere cultists.
They are more adept at finding ways to make others have to fight, and then vent during the battle, ultimately drawing them completely to the evil god.
And this level of combat can easily affect you, clearly indicating the enemy's existence is strong and conspicuous.
Its mere presence can attract the evil god's power from outside.
It is such power that can influence you almost without you doing anything.
If I'm not mistaken, this evil god might have some connection with you, otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy."
After listening to Kana's simple explanation,
the Three-Man Council finally had some clarity in their hearts.
"Thank you, you are always our friend, we are really grateful," the Castle Lord offered his gratitude and praise without reservation.
But at this moment, Kana fell into contemplation.
"What kind of presence could attract the evil god's attention like this?" Kana wondered inexplicably.
The reason Kana could so easily relate the dwarves with this matter is naturally because, in the game's plot, the dwarves would eventually have to battle this evil god.
He just didn't expect it to happen so soon. Under Kana's influence, for some unknown reason, a strong conflict had erupted even before the story began.
The issue lies here; Kana knows that dwarves are very easily influenced by this evil god's power.
But to achieve such an aim, the enemy's strength must be formidable, or they must have a strong enough connection with the evil god.
And that's just at this current stage.
No matter which enemy they face, it shouldn't be weak, thus a small amount of strategy is necessary.
It seems necessary to have the dwarves cooperate to complete some preparatory matters.
At that moment, the meeting room door was knocked, and a dwarf with blood on his face burst in.
"It's bad, Monk and Rees… they, they've been attacked, only mangled bodies remain."
"Quick, take us there!"
In an instant, several dwarves had died, and they were all among the best of the dwarves. For the Three-Man Council, this was unacceptable, or rather, any non-natural cause of death was unacceptable to them.
After all, there are only so many dwarves in the entire Gray Mountain Range, and increasing the population is exceedingly difficult.
Lurik led them quickly there.
When they arrived,
they saw that in the area facing north of Gray Furnace Castle, several bodies were already visible.
Only one body appeared relatively intact, although that's by comparison. The body had only scars, while other bodies bore various different cut marks and signs of missing parts.
And without exception, their heads had been severed.
The neck's cut surface was very smooth, and no heads were found at the scene, they had all disappeared.
Indeed, they left no dwarf heads.
Looking at the bodies of these dwarves, Kana and his companions could clearly and distinctly feel that the emotions of everyone around had become abnormal.
Kana crouched and turned over a body.
Before the others could say anything, they saw on the back of this turned body,
there was a large inverted triangular symbol, carved with a knife or burned with a branding iron.
It also had a depiction of a skull, which was the symbol of the evil god Kana had just mentioned to everyone.
Just moments after speaking, they saw it on their compatriots' bodies.
And it could be seen, the carving marks were extremely fresh.
Evidently, it had just been carved; the blood hadn't yet dried.
The enemy had only just killed them.
But by the time the dwarf came to report to them, and they arrived, the enemy would have long since fled.
Kana turned to look at Alyris.
Alyris shook her head, clearly, the enemy's tracks could no longer be found.
Kana stood up, looking at the dwarf corpses, the enemy seemed somewhat agitated, was it to incite hatred?
Should he tell these dwarves some information about themselves?
