Chapter 148: Blood Ritual and Major Disturbance

William, accompanied by Rachel and Claw Claw, left the White Dove Chamber of Commerce. However, many players were still unwilling to give up and trailed behind William, hoping to gain some advantage.

William glanced at these players but didn’t pay them much attention.

“If they want to follow, let them. It’s beneficial to expand my influence anyway,” he thought.

Rachel and Claw Claw followed behind William, exchanging a tacit glance.

“How about adding each other as friends? It’ll be useful for communication if we come across anything,” Claw Claw suggested. Since William had chosen them, mutual assistance and cooperation in completing tasks were essential.

“No problem,” Rachel readily agreed. Being a gaming enthusiast, she was intrigued by the unfolding hidden plots in the game, especially with the handsome NPC before her. He must be significant!

Listening to the conversation behind him, William smiled faintly. As long as it didn’t involve real-world terms, the indigenous people of Gaia World could understand.

Currently, players still thought NPCs operated on fixed patterns. They hadn’t realized the need to be cautious. They would learn their lesson when they suffered losses in the future.

Pretending not to hear, William led the two to 16th Street, intending to find Jack.

Upon the audience’s reminder, Rachel activated the screen recording function. It was the first time she was completing a task with an NPC in the game, likely to attract attention.

Rachel wasn’t in it for the money; she simply wanted to share the joy of gaming. Otherwise, as a wealthy heiress, she wouldn’t have become a game streamer.

Arriving at the entrance of Jack’s shop, William walked in without knocking.

Inside, Jack was tidying up his shop. He had returned only yesterday.

After William had someone register Jack with the kingdom and the church, they didn’t inquire much further after a brief questioning. However, the attention from the city guards had its benefits; nothing in Jack’s shop had been stolen during this time.

Naturally, Rachel and Claw Claw followed William into Jack’s small shop. As they entered, the array of weapons and armor filled the room, dazzling their eyes.

Using appraisal skills roughly, they found that all the weapons and equipment present were at least bronze-tier, with those neatly arranged reaching silver-tier.

“Are you interested in these equipment’s?” William noticed their gaze and smiled.

“You can also directly purchase equipment here with Jack. Members of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce enjoy discounts.”

Huh? Is this place affiliated with the White Dove Chamber of Commerce or a partner?

The White Dove Chamber of Commerce seemed quite powerful.

Claw Claw keenly sensed the information conveyed by William’s words and pondered inwardly.

After finishing his words, William turned to Jack and asked, “Jack, any news on the matter I asked you to inquire about last time?”

Yesterday, Jack had someone repair the damaged roof of his shop. Now, he was cleaning the shop by himself since Ashley wasn’t around, and these were tasks he could only manage alone.

Seeing William come in, Jack wiped his hands and stood up, saying, “I asked around. Those people you mentioned seem to have suddenly become low-key recently. However, I’ve found the places they used to frequent, and I’ve written them down.”

After saying that, Jack took out a piece of paper from his precious cabinet and handed it to William.

William took a look and recognized all the locations very well. They were the main places where the Blood Sacrifice incident in the Canlight City had occurred in his previous life.

It seemed that those people’s headquarters were indeed in those locations!

After the assassination case during the Festival of the Sacred Saints in Canlight City, the next major event was the Blood Sacrifice and Great Turmoil in the city.

An evil cult planned to hold a blood sacrifice in the lower city area of Canlight City, releasing numerous monsters to rampage there. The three main locations were Pearl Street, Ferrer Street, and Golden Lily Lane.

Each of these locations had hundreds of monsters, mostly silver and bronze-tier in strength, with some even reaching the gold tier.

Back then, the state of those monsters was very strange. Regardless of the type of monster, their eyes were all blood-red. Moreover, these monsters not only attacked the residents of the lower city area but also fought among themselves.

At that time, no one knew who could privately bring such a large number of monsters into Canlight City, nor did they know what the purpose was. So, when the strong ones from Canlight City arrived and killed all the monsters one by one, they discovered that the blood of all the monsters mixed with the blood of the slain residents, forming a blood ritual in those three districts.

At that moment, the mastermind behind the scenes—the Beast God Cult—revealed itself. Through the power gathered by the blood ritual, they summoned the incarnation of the Lord of Beasts, Voragath, initiating a bloody massacre in the lower city area.

In the end, the incarnation of Voragath was repelled by three legendary strongmen who arrived, but as for those from the Beast God Cult, they had already fled during the battle between the legends.

However, because of this, their identities were also known to outsiders. Among them were several leaders of the gray zone in Canlight City, and it seemed that they had been preparing for this blood ritual in Canlight City for a long time.

The several Beast God Cult strongmen whose identities were revealed were Bloodhand Aniello, Death Eagle Tash, and the vampire Cortana.

Yes, that’s right! It’s the golden-tier vampire killed by Marion.

At that time, William felt that the vampire looked somewhat familiar, and then he remembered him after learning about the turmoil in the gray zone of the lower city area from Jack.

However, this vampire was somewhat unlucky, and in a sense, he was killed due to the butterfly effect caused by William.

Speaking of which, the Blood Ritual and Great Turmoil in the lower city area of Canlight City resulted in casualties of tens of thousands, as recorded by the kingdom. Initially, there weren’t many deaths among the residents during the monster attacks, but when the incarnation of Voragath appeared, even though the various gods’ reaction in Canlight City was quite swift and immediately sealed off the area where Voragath was located, there were still thousands of ordinary people who died from their bodies exploding due to directly confronting the divine body.

After all, Voragath was not a benevolent god!

Voragath, the Lord of Beasts, was only a deity with weak divine power, but his divine duties included domains such as [Beasts], [Fear], and [Hunting].

Although Voragath’s core divine duty was not [Fear] but [Beasts], it was obvious that Voragath wanted to master the more powerful divine domain of [Fear] and use it to ascend to stronger divine power.

The purpose of the Blood Ritual planned by the Beast God Cult in Canlight City was also this. Voragath had already mastered part of the divine duty domain of [Fear], so he could spread fear among ordinary people, gather more divine power of fear, and help him quickly master the divine duty of [Fear].

This was the modus operandi of those evil cults: evil deities relied on spreading fear to make ordinary people worship and fear them.

Voragath, who mastered the divine duty of [Fear], was even more so.
