god of tomorrow

He has a naming problem and couldn't think of a more suitable name for a while, so he decided to just use a nickname and let things take their course, whatever came to mind.

Moreover, Ma Long is quite good; he can not only play basketball, but also table tennis.

After reorganizing his underlings, Gawain turned to look at the altar, especially at the spot where the statue had disappeared, his brow furrowed: "The statue is gone, can the sacrificial ceremony still continue?"

Looking back on the previous sacrificial ceremony, Gawain felt a little regretful. He had been too hasty in establishing his eagerness to learn persona and should have chosen a different door to leave the underworld.

Gawain was just saying that. Even someone as novice to magic as him knew, based on the information he had gathered before, that the sacrificial ritual could only be used to learn magic. The Lord of Death was not a genie and would not negotiate just because of extra money.

"What should we do?"

Just when Gao Wen's future seemed bleak, Tie Niu stepped forward, raised his hands and gestured twice, then patted his chest.

"What do you mean? You're saying you can still perform sacrifices... no, you still remember the incantation for the sacrifice ritual?"

Gao Wen was overjoyed and asked Tie Niu to show off his talents.

After a demonstration, it turned out he really knew how.

Even though he had been reset to factory settings and had forgotten how to speak, unable to even have a normal conversation, he could still speak fluent sacrificial ritual incantations, as if these were imprinted deep in his soul and could not be erased no matter how many times he was formatted.

loyalty!

No, who are you being loyal to? Don't you know that loyalty isn't absolute, it's just that it's absolutely disloyal?

Gawain rolled his eyes, comforting himself that it was a good thing that his subordinates had talents, and besides, he really needed this talent right now.

No problem, just put yourself in the blond guy's shoes and you'll be fine!

The result was not satisfactory. The statue disappeared, and the altar became a mere decoration. Tie Niu chanted the incantation three times in a row and successfully activated the magic circle each time, but he failed to attract the attention of the Lord of Death.

Splat!

Malone shoved aside the useless trash and stood arrogantly in front of Gawain, displaying the same talent as Iron Bull: he too could recite fluent sacrificial ritual incantations.

Loyalty! x2

Gao Wen rolled his eyes even more, silently comforting himself that Huang Mao had won twice in a row and should be happy.

The result was still unsatisfactory. The statue was gone, and that was that. Without finding the original deity, successfully activating the magic circle was meaningless.

For a moment, Gao Wen felt a chill run through him.

Suddenly, something occurred to him. He took out the gold fragment and asked Tie Niu if he knew anything about it: "Is it possible that a statue can turn into a gold fragment, and a gold fragment can turn into a statue?"

Gawain put the gold fragment into his system inventory, where it occupied a separate slot. Although he didn't understand why, he felt it was a rare item and didn't feel comfortable leaving it anywhere else.

Iron Bull peered into the golden fragment in its master's hand, a tremor stirring deep within its soul. Its soul fire pulsed wildly, its body shuddered, then shuddered again, then shuddered a third time. It then shrugged, indicating it couldn't remember.

"I can't remember you being so dramatic!"

Gawain was furious. His newbie underlings were even worse than AI idiots. They were such big guys for nothing.

"Dear host, Malone also uses sacrificial spells, and perhaps there is an altar in his castle as well," the AI ​​idiot reminded him at the right time.

Loyalty! x3

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that!"

Gao Wen's eyes lit up. With the AI ​​assistant's reminder, he felt that his future was bright. Overjoyed, he praised him highly: "I knew it. These two good-for-nothings are far inferior to you. You are my right-hand man. Do a good job. I can't do without you."

"That's it! That's it!"

Gao Wen usually belittles the AI ​​assistant and rarely praises it, but today he changed his ways, and the AI ​​assistant was almost hooked by his charm.

"There is no time to lose, prepare the carriage."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Because of the memory erasure, Malone had no idea that he owned any property and had forgotten the way home. Fortunately, Gawain had the system, which marked the way he came on the map.

Unfortunately, all the mounts had been sacrificed, so they had to travel on foot.

Furthermore, because Tie Niu and Ma Long were reset by the Lord of Death, the Underworld could not find their bones, and the magic they had cast in their 'previous life' became ineffective. Their respective minions lost their commands, and the undead army wandered aimlessly in the darkness, all becoming ownerless.

At first glance, Gawain suffered heavy losses, and the loss of his family meant that his dream of commanding tens of thousands of troops had come to naught.

But from another perspective, without any allies around, wild monsters spawn everywhere, which means tons of gold coins.

Level 1 membership is guaranteed!

Ordinary skeletons posed no threat to Gawain. Furthermore, they had lost their commands and had no combat awareness, not even knowing how to dodge. Therefore, Gawain easily collected 100 gold coins along the way.

"This is much easier to slaughter than a thousand pigs."

100 gold coins received via Alipay

With 100 gold coins, Gao Wen officially became a Level 1 member. The daily check-in rewards were fixed, and he was no longer insecure. He finally had a stable job.

"Hehe, Jianbing Guozi is so delicious!"

Chapter 17 I Will Lead the Army Personally

"Digging and digging in the little garden, planting tiny seeds and letting tiny flowers bloom."

"Digging and digging in the big garden, planting big seeds and blooming big flowers..."

As a fellow skeleton knight, Malone does indeed own a castle, but due to losing his mind, he forgot who he was and what his faith was before being reset to factory settings. His castle is exceptionally dilapidated, belonging to a battle-damaged version that was then demolished.

Consequently, the daily maintenance of the altar was also neglected.

The altar was dilapidated and showed signs of vandalism, rendering it unusable.

Fortunately, this guy was just crazy, not stupid. The worship and fear deep in his soul prevented him from driving his car into the statue, so Gawain's trip was not entirely fruitless.

One altar was damaged but had an image of a deity; another altar was intact but had no image of a deity…

It combines two functions, including both an altar and a statue.

The statue at this altar was only half intact, and coupled with the claim of fragments from the underworld, Gawain had a vague suspicion that the high and mighty Lord of Death was not having an easy time and was probably the defeated party in the war of gods.

Gawain wouldn't think about things that were too far in the future; he only knew that the Death Lord wasn't wealthy right now, and that maybe they could negotiate if he offered more money.

Upon closer reflection, this explains why the previous order sacrifice was successful.

Iron Bull's predecessor, the Skeleton Knight, did not know what he wanted to gain through sacrifice. However, after the will of the Lord of Death descended, he still rewarded Gawain, the sacrificer, for the sake of the offering, and traded necromancy to Gawain despite the fact that it did not conform to the formula ratio.

"It's good to be poor. If you're really high and mighty, you won't even look at me."

Suddenly, Gao Wen's confidence soared, and he ordered Tie Niu and Ma Long to dig on the spot and unearth the treasure hidden under the castle ruins.

The two knights were practically identical, classic brothers in misfortune. There was no reason why the skeleton knight would bury a bunch of junk underground while the minotaur knight would be completely unprepared.

Sure enough, quite a few artifacts were unearthed.

"Wonderful!"

With the offerings ready, Gawain was in high spirits and couldn't help but hum a song: "Digging and digging and digging in a very big garden, planting very big seeds..."

……

Due to unfavorable factors such as a lack of mounts, excessive baggage, and the collection of gold coins along the way, the transportation project to move the statues took more than three days.

The pots and bowls are overflowing!

This time, Gawain didn't throw the two knights into the magic circle; instead, he threw in the scrap metal he had plundered. The plan went smoothly, except for some disagreement about who should preside over the ceremony.

The oxen and horses were full of energy, all wanting to show off in front of their master. Perhaps they were just looking for a legitimate excuse to fight, and they started sparring again.

In just three days, they upgraded from haphazard fighting to melee combat. While retrieving their respective weapons, they also regained their former martial arts skills. Their rapid progress put a lot of pressure on Gao Wensheng.

These two lackeys are too good.

Looking at it this way, AI assistants are still the best. They haven't changed their original intentions. The silly couple isn't very smart, which has helped them maintain their useless persona.

Ultimately, with Gao Wen's reasoned and well-founded mediation, Malone was chosen to preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

"Master, why him? What do I lack compared to him?" Tie Niu picked up the bull's head and put it back on, expressing his dissatisfaction.

“Give the newlyweds a chance. You hosted the ceremony last time, so it’s fair that he comes this time.”

"Last time?"

Tie Niu didn't quite understand. His soul fire burned into a question mark. What last time? Where did this last time come from? He couldn't remember it.

Gawain didn't explain. After the magic circle was activated, he pushed past Malone and stood in front of the altar.

With Ox-Head and Horse-Face standing behind, it feels very much like the underworld.

The gaze of the Death Lord descended, and upon seeing the two men standing behind Gawain, it fell silent for a moment, once again astonished by Gawain's outrageous actions.

Having seen the world, the deity quickly turned his attention to Gawain, offering no words or instructions, and quietly waiting for him to speak first.

"The great ruler of death, the master of the end..."

Gawain's opening remarks remained unchanged. He placed one hand on his chest and bowed slightly towards the statue: "I am your believer, but also a lost soul. The underworld is not a place for the living. I offer you a sacrifice, hoping you will point out a way to leave."

As he bowed, Ox-Head and Horse-Face knelt on one knee, their heads bowed deeply.

No matter how you look at it, they are both much more devout than Gao Wen.

The Lord of Death did not respond to Gawain's request. A ray of black light shot out from the statue, splitting into three in mid-air and entering the foreheads of the three sacrificers.

Gawain: "..."

Where did these three sacrificers come from? There's only one of them!

Gawain had absolutely no idea what the sacrificial ritual was like, or what the specific rules were. He hadn't understood it before, and now he was even more confused. Based on his previous two experiences, he guessed that the gods and Chaos were alike; it didn't matter who the real sacrificer was, as long as the one who was alive was it.

If three people survive, all three will be sacrifices.

That's outrageous!

【Dark Vision Lv1 (A pupil that shines in the darkness, standing in the shadows, observing the world from another perspective)】

The sacrificial ritual ended, and the will of the Death Lord dissipated. Gawain immediately looked at the task panel, where the skill bar refreshed and new knowledge was added to his account.

"Not necromancy... shadow magic?!"

Magic is knowledge, and knowledge comes with its own instruction manual. Once the magic circuits within Gawain's body formed, he immediately understood this instruction manual.

It's definitely not necromancy!

Why? What's the difference between the two sacrifices? Is it because the offerings were different, or because the officiant changed?

Write this down first, and verify it later.
