Miriam There is a six-pointed star array in front of him, and in the center of the array is a black sheep with its limbs tied with hemp ropes.
A tall man wearing a black hood brought another sheep and walked to the formation.
The man pushed the sheep to the ground.
Miriam is leading the crowd in reciting the sacrificial words.
She recited one sentence, and the people around her followed them. The sound was not loud, but it was transmitted very clearly in the thick fog.
"King of the night, your loyal servant offers blood food to pray for your mercy..."
The black sheep was pinned to the ground.
The knife was held in the hand of a believer and slowly handed to Miriam.
Her face flickered in the candlelight, like a statue of a resurrected god, with a compassionate smile at the corner of her mouth.
Lin Ze cursed in a low voice and took out the communication badge from his arms.
"Attention, the west side of the pier is close to the sea. The situation is confirmed. The other party is conducting a sacrificial ceremony."
The voice of Barty Crouch Jr. soon came from the communication badge. "Do you want to take action?"
"Wait and see, don't alert the enemy yet."
At this moment, the black sheep suddenly started struggling crazily, kicking its hooves on the board and letting out shrill screams.
"There's something wrong with these two sheep." Lin Ze frowned.
At this moment, Miriam is raising the knife and walking slowly towards the two sheep.
"Stop her." Lin Ze whispered to the badge.
The two spells instantly cut through the thick fog and shot at Miriam at the same time.
One is "Expelliarmus" from Amos, and the other is "Severing Charm" thrown by Barty Crouch Jr. from the other side.
Miriam did not look back, but the two strong men behind her turned around suddenly, and one of them rushed to block Miriam. He withstood two spells, and the whole person was immediately cut in half from the middle.
A pot of porridge was made in an instant on the spot.
The believers screamed and ran away. The candles fell to the ground and spread along the fabric on the shore. The flames licked the clothes of the believers. Some people rolled into the sea with the fire and screamed like a slaughtered pig.
Just when Lin Ze was about to rush forward, the black sheep in the center of the altar let out an extremely short whine.
Then, all sounds disappeared.
Lin Ze stepped on his feet.
He saw that the knife in Miriam's hand had fallen and was inserted straight into the black sheep's throat.
The next moment, the black sheep turned into a naked man, with a huge wound on his neck, and blood gurgling out of it.
Sure enough, there was a problem, Lin Ze cursed secretly.
Lin Ze and Amos rushed out at the same time.
The scene was in chaos, and the originally devout believers were like wild bees that had been stabbed in their nests. Screams, cries, and curses were mixed together. The thick fog was shattered by the firelight and the fleeing figures.
Miriam still stood there, the bloody knife in her hand hanging by her side. The firelight reflected her face, and also reflected her inner peace at this moment.
Amos took the lead, throwing out several Binding Charm from the tip of his staff, accurately knocking down several strong men who tried to pounce.
Barty Crouch Jr."Apparition" appeared in the center of the venue. As his figure flashed, all Muggle on the scene fell to the ground one after another.
"It's them! It's those monsters! It's them!" Suddenly someone shouted loudly in the crowd.
"Yes! Those are the monsters with wooden sticks! They are the ones who took away our relatives!"
"Everyone come together!"
"Kill them!"
"The Holy Lord will protect us!"
"The Holy Lord will give us strength!"
It's a mess, it's a complete mess!
And the man who turned into a black sheep had no blood flowing out of his neck at this moment.
"That's... a wizard?" Arthur appeared next to Lin Ze with a shocked face.
"I'm afraid that's the case." Lin Ze nodded.
For those who saw these crazy Muggle for the first time, what they saw was shocking.
An adult wizard was pushed onto the sacrificial platform by a group of Muggle...
Miriam, who was originally calm, suddenly showed a smile, but there was a little bit of madness in that smile.
"Welcome... sacrifice of the Holy Lord..."
A soft voice, like the whispers of a devil, sounded in the ears of Lin Ze.
The next moment, Lin Ze's arms were unconsciously attached to dragon scales, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.
The dragon scales on his arms exploded.
Arthur The four of them could not help but look solemn.
At this time, the male wizard's head was tilted back at a strange angle, and the gap in his throat was like a huge mouth. All the blood in his body had flowed into the grooves of the star formation at his feet.
Amos's face was livid, with his wand across his chest. After decades of living, this was the first time he saw Muggle using a wizard as a sacrifice.
"Back!"
Lin Ze suddenly roared and pulled Arthur away and retreated.
The ground began to shake.
The blood light surged in the grooves of the six-pointed star array, and the entire dock seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand. The wooden planks crackled, the iron nails flew away, and the thick fog was dispersed by the red light rushing up from the ground.
Miriam stood in the center of the blood light, looking up at the sky, with his arms spread out as if embracing something invisible.
Her body began to twitch violently, as if her spine had been removed, and as if another person's soul was squeezing into her body.
"We have to stop her." Barty Crouch Jr. took the lead, and a bright red cursed light hit Miriam's face.
The blood light surged, forming a translucent barrier that completely swallowed up Barty Crouch Jr.'s spell.
"What is that!" Arthur suddenly pointed to the sea.
Looking in the direction Arthur pointed, a black wooden boat appeared on the sea in the distance.
The hull of the ship was mottled, there was no light on the bow, and no crew members were visible, as if it had been there for a long time.
The bow of the ship broke through the gray fog and approached the dock at a speed that was contrary to common sense. There was no sound of oars and no waves, as if there was ice under the ship instead of sea water.
Miriam stopped twitching.
She opened her eyes.
Those eyes had more whites and fewer pupils at the moment, and the whites were still filled with dense bloodshot eyes, like two broken glass balls.
"Welcome... Holy Lord..."
Her voice changed, and the tearing sound made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.
The bottom of the boat hit the dock, making a dull sound.
Then a large amount of black mist poured out of the cabin. The mist was so thick and shiny that it looked like flowing ink.
Black fog gushes out from the cabin and spreads along the ground of the dock. Wherever it passes, the firelight is extinguished and a thin layer of black ice condenses on the wooden planks.
With a substantial sense of oppression, the burning flame is directly frozen.
Fire dances in the ice...
This strange scene, even as wizards, felt a little outrageous.
An instinctive shiver shot up from the spine to Tian Ling Gai, as if a cold hand was pressing the back of the neck.
"Back off! Don't touch the black mist!" Lin Ze shouted.
Several people simultaneously flashed back "Apparition" more than ten meters away.
But those Muggle who were kneeling on the ground seemed to be nailed in place, letting the black mist spread over their ankles, knees, and waists.
They did not cry or shout, but showed an almost ecstatic expression, chanting repeatedly. "The night embraces me... the night embraces me..."
"These crazy people..." Lin Ze felt his scalp numb at the sight.
