The world enters the age of mythology.

With heavy steps and a serious expression, he walked up to the altar step by step.

After waving the golden scepter, everyone present fell silent.

Above the altar, there is a strange golden creation like a brazier.There was a deep darkness in the brazier, bottomless, as if one could inhale the soul just by looking at it.

No matter how many times he has been in contact with it, Akara will always have a frightening feeling of worship... It is an existence of a level far higher than that of human beings, and it makes people unable to resist any thoughts.

Akara knew deeply that this god named "Nubi" was different from the one in his previous religious beliefs.

It doesn't have to be a real "Nuby".

Maybe it's... fake.

The darkness in front of them is indifferent and ruthless. It doesn't need faith, nor does it need the love of the people, and it's even impossible to help their race free of charge.

All it needs is "life"!

Just like the "philosopher's stone" in the legend of the alchemist, in the transaction with this darkness, life can be exchanged for everything!

All transactions follow the basic will of equivalent exchange.

In the pitch-black mist, Akara saw a mysterious number: 5, surrounded by an hourglass-like phantom, which was slowly counting time.

That is the number left after the last equivalent exchange.

5, corresponding to the time when this mysterious darkness sheltered them from the curse of nightmares.All the Nubi people, as long as they sleep in the turtle boat, they will not be cursed during these 5 days.

This number will decrease by one every day. If the number returns to zero, it means that all of them will be attacked by the curse of nightmare and die on this mysterious planet.

They have no means of refuge.

Only by continuing to sacrifice, can we continue to receive the help of this mysterious force.

But the price required for sacrifice is too great, so big that they are already worried.

Not having enough extra lives to sacrifice means consuming their people, their people.

Not too many civilians died voluntarily, and when the civilians died, who would go to work?Civilians have involved soldiers and all aspects of society, which is not comparable to slaves.

And their population is not too large, only fifteen thousand.

Asylum for one day requires the lives of 30-50 people!

"Nubi, Nubi, if you are our god, why do you use such greedy methods to test us?!"

Akara was not a devout believer. He seriously doubted that if other humans ran to this altar to worship, they might also get a response.

The mysterious darkness is not a god in religious texts at all.It is likely to be an inexplicable evil god.

Except for himself and the 12 pharaohs who knew this truth, the other little nobles did not know... Yes, so what?Even if it is an evil god, as long as it can be used reasonably, so what?

"Without the help of its power, we are likely to be completely wiped out!"

"Assi, Talador! Karama!"

Akara muttered to himself, waving the scepter and muttering, the voice became louder and louder.

And the common people below became more and more fanatical, kowtowing frantically on the ground one by one.The coercion in the dark rose from the altar, and they felt their spirits were trembling, and kept bowing and worshiping.

After about half an hour, the frantic ceremony ended, and all the sacrifices were presented.

Akara's Adam's apple twitched, and he swallowed. He asked nervously, "God! The greatest god, Nubi God, I have a question to ask you for help... Is there any living beings in this world other than us?" Humanity?"

This question is very important, and it means that the sacrificial ceremony will be held 5 days later!

There are not enough slaves on hand, so they want to capture other humans for sacrifice.They've always done it this way.

Chapter 362 The Opponent's Most Powerful Weapon

Transactions with God Nubi naturally follow very strict rules.

The most important point: ask the gods for help, and no regrets are allowed!

Once a question is asked, God will surely respond.

According to the principle of equivalent exchange, gods help human beings while collecting sacrifices.

The amount of sacrifices collected will vary according to the difficulty of the help-seeking question.

If the number of sacrifices is not enough, then the "god" will personally take action and devour the surrounding living people to make up for the lack of sacrifices! !

As time passed, Akara's mood became more and more tense.

"exist."

Inexplicable whispers, recalling in my ears.

This is God's response to him.

Finally, he saw an illusory balance appearing in the altar.

The scale in the balance shows a value: 50.

Not only himself, but also the pharaohs around him breathed a long sigh of relief.

A value of 50 means that this is a very simple question.

At least for "God", this problem is so simple that it takes no effort to make it so cheap.

The value of one locust is 0.004-0.005, and more than 10000 living locusts can solve this problem.

This is also the main reason why they hunt insects on a large scale.

The value of insects is mostly so low. If they are insects that can be raised in large quantities, such as flies and mosquito larvae, the value will be even lower, even only one thousandth, or one ten thousandth of the value.

Relatively speaking, the value of living livestock is higher. Pigs and sheep can reach a value of about 100-200. A pig is equivalent to [-] to [-] locusts.

Chickens, ducks and geese are about 10-20.

For eggs, it is even lower, probably between 0.2-1.

Fish is lower than chicken, duck and goose, no more than 5.

The value of sacrifices may be sorted according to the wisdom of life, the more intelligent species, the higher the value.

If it is a dead livestock, the value will be reduced to one tenth of the original value.

For example, the value of a live cow is 300, and it will be reduced to 30 after death.Therefore, it is very uneconomical to use dead animals to sacrifice, and it is better to eat them yourself.

but!

According to the principle that the smarter you are, the higher the value, the most expensive sacrificial object is a human being. For a serious human being, the value of the sacrifice is at least 1000!

Pay attention, at least!Only those who are dying and about to die will only have 1000 value left.

Other living people may reach [-] or even [-] according to their health and vitality!

The value of some powerful superpowers may be [-], or even more than [-]!

An ordinary person is equivalent to [-] million maggots in a stinking ditch!

As for the last kind of sacrificial item, it is the ghost. All the ghosts can be exchanged for value and sacrificed.

After Nubi finished answering the questions, the darkness in the altar fluctuated faintly, like a burning flame, which was a symbol of asking for a reward.

In the Nether Flame, an hourglass appeared, and the countdown began.

If you don't pay enough before the countdown is complete, it will eat you!

The two pharaohs quickly poured the bag containing the locusts into it. Such a small brazier seemed to be a bottomless pit, no matter how many things were stuffed, it would never be full.

The locusts were swept up by the flames and disappeared immediately, and they didn't know where they went.

After the balance returned to normal, the flames subsided, and the two parties completed the transaction, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Human beings exist in this world, great! We are saved!" A pharaoh who was in charge of sacrifice clenched his fists.

"I just don't know how many human beings are alive."

"Ask again, it shouldn't be too expensive."

"Great God Nubi, besides us, what is the total population of survivors in this world?" Akara asked the second question anxiously.

If it's just one or two, it doesn't make much sense.

"171231 people." An inexplicable whisper sounded, only a few people around could hear it.

This is also a relatively simple question, but the price has increased by 4 times and requires a contribution of 200, which can be tolerated.

Several more sacks of grasshoppers went down, quelling the black flames from the altar.

"17 humans..."

"...There are so many of them!"

The eyes of Akara and the rest of the pharaohs shone with surprise, and each of them even stood on end with fanaticism in their hearts.

This is the largest population they have ever encountered on the Yang River!

Yes, they have been wandering on the Yang River for so many years, and have seen many civilizations of all kinds, some are very powerful, some are very weak.

But 17 is really too much!

If this civilization is defeated, there will be 17 slaves in the future, how much contribution can be converted into!

Even if a person's contribution of 1.7 is worth [-] million!

A person with 3.4 has a value of [-] million!

Too much.

By offering sacrifices and asking for Nubi's protection, they can survive in this world for a long time.

With such a large amount of contribution... It is not impossible to even directly ask Nubi to get rid of the nightmare curse here!

Akara took a deep breath, and asked the third question: "Great God Nubi, where are they? You just need to tell us the approximate location, without going into too much detail."

The black flame rose again.

"East, 4000 kilometers."

This question requires 1000 points of value, which has been doubled by 5 times!

It's a bit heartbreaking, but within expectations.

After so many transactions, Akara and others have basically mastered the transaction method of this mysterious existence.

The more difficult the question, the more information, the deeper the depth, and the more detailed the answer, the more reward is required.

Akara asked again: "Please evaluate, we have tried our best, can we defeat them without relying on your strength?"

God Nubi replied, "No."

It's very simple information, but it needs 1000 value points.

They have run out of locusts.

Had to sacrifice a large group of fish caught.

However, there is no way to save these fish, most of them are dead fish, and they had to release a large number of fish.

But what makes them frightened is not the value of 1000, but other problems.

Akara was stunned, they tried their best and couldn't beat each other? !

Even the pharaohs in the surrounding area looked unhappy, thinking hard.

This problem is very, very big!

If God Nubi were to be asked to conquer the opponent directly, the price they would have to pay would be unimaginable.

Because this Nubi god is extremely greedy, it will never do a loss-making business.

To give a simple example, the value of the question just asked is actually judged according to the depth and breadth of the information.

It has its own set of logical calculation methods: simply put, it will open its mouth to solve problems that the Nubi people can't solve with their own efforts.As long as it is a problem that the Nubi can complete by themselves, it will charge a lower fee.

If it is a human from the Sea of ​​Clouds who asks these questions, the value charged may change.

Let the gods take action, the price is extremely expensive.

Any hit requires 100 million value points!

The strength is only equivalent to a punch of an ordinary person!
