Chapter 343 - The Sacrificial Ceremony



Chapter 343: The Sacrificial Ceremony

“Alright, we’ll wait here then. Thank you for informing us, Elder.” Audrey glanced at Cole and stopped him from asking any more questions.

Hearing this, the Elder nodded. A hint of an ambiguous smile appeared in his eyes as he turned to leave.

Audrey’s expression suddenly darkened as she hurriedly whispered to everyone, “It’s not good to stay here for long. Let’s return to the tent first before we discuss this matter in detail.”

The few of them did not understand why Audrey had such a sudden change, but their expressions turned serious as well. They nervously returned to the tent before Klein could not help but ask, “Audrey, what happened?”

“I have a vague feeling that there’s something wrong with the Elder. It’s not as simple as what we saw.” Audrey’s eyes sank as she recalled the contact she had with the Elder over the past two days.

“Is that so? I think the Elder is quite kind. He tells us everything in detail,” Cole said with a puzzled look as he frowned.

Kate had the same thought as well, which made him even more curious about the meaning behind Audrey’s words.

“Go on, what’s the problem?” Hobart thought seriously about Audrey’s words as a complicated expression appeared on his face. He said in a low voice.

“When we first arrived, the Elders didn’t know who we were, so they asked us to help save the village. This is clearly unreasonable.”

Audrey thought for a moment, and a shrewd look flashed across her eyes. “Unless he knew that someone would come here, but he didn’t know about our mission. Wouldn’t that be contradictory?”

“It seems to make sense.” The few of them nodded thoughtfully as they looked at Audrey with widened eyes.

“As an Elder of the village, the village is in such a predicament, but he’s indifferent. He just asked us to help him with a few words.”

The more Audrey thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss.

“Perhaps he can’t beat those people?” Klein voiced out his guess.

Before Audrey could speak, Adrian had already said, “Even if he can’t beat them, he shouldn’t just sit by and do nothing. At the very least, he should understand the specific situation of the village. However, he doesn’t know anything about it. He’s clearly giving us a perfunctory reply.”

Hearing this, Audrey revealed a gratified smile. It seemed like there were still people in the team who were more rational and intelligent. They could quickly understand what she meant.

“Now that the villagers have lost their rationality, the ceremony is still held as scheduled. This is very strange,” Audrey continued, “the ceremony might not be that simple anymore.”

“Then what should we do? Will we be in danger if we go?” Hearing this, Kate instantly became anxious as he asked with a worried expression.

This was also what Audrey was worried about. If the other party had set up an ambush and waited for them to jump in, it would not be good.

However, if they did not go, they would not be able to understand the current situation of the village.

“Even if it’s dangerous, we have to go.” After thinking for a moment, a hint of certainty flashed in Audrey’s eyes.

“Yes, we have to go. Only when we go will we be able to understand everything clearly.” Hobart echoed from the side, making the others gradually firmer in their hearts.

A few of them discussed some countermeasures before resting.

A few days later, the festival arrived as scheduled.

It was just as Felt had said. All the villagers came out of their homes that day. Everyone was busy preparing the food and things for the festival.

Audrey and the others also came to the vicinity of the ice platform early in the morning to observe the villagers coming and going.

“Good morning, Miss Audrey.” At this moment, a voice came from behind them. Elder Felt had unknowingly walked behind them.

Audrey’s expression tensed up, but she calmed herself down. The moment she turned around, the corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile. “Good morning, Elder. The villagers came out just as you said.”

“That’s right. The ceremony is the most important thing in the village. No one will miss it.” Felt nodded with a smile on his lips. However, he found it strange no matter how he looked at it.

Since the villagers had been controlled by the mysterious person, why would they come out to participate in the ceremony?

“There’s still some time before the ceremony starts. You haven’t eaten yet, right? Why don’t you come with me to rest and eat something? The ceremony will take a long time. I’m afraid you won’t be able to withstand it,” said the Elder.

As soon as he said this, the members of the Dragon Slaying Squad looked at Audrey, as if they were seeking her opinion.

After all, they already felt that something was wrong with the Elder. If they followed him now, it was hard to guarantee that they would not encounter any danger.

“Alright, thank you very much, Elder.” After thinking for a moment, Audrey’s azure eyes revealed a hint of a meaningful smile as she nodded in agreement.

Klein and the others did not understand what Audrey was thinking, but since she had chosen to go, everyone followed her without any fear.

Soon, felt led them to a secret room under the ice platform, which was where felt lived.

The furnishings inside were very simple. There was only a bed, a table, and some simple items.

However, there was a table full of food on that table. It was obvious that Felt had prepared for this. This made Audrey even more suspicious.

A few days ago, Felt had not said anything. Today was the only day.

“Elder, you’ve put in a lot of effort to prepare such a sumptuous meal.” Audrey swept her gaze across the table, and a complicated look flashed across her slightly narrowed eyes. She raised the corners of her mouth and said.

“It doesn’t matter. Everyone, enjoy your meal slowly. I’ll be busy with the sacrificial ceremony first,” Felt said as he waved his robe and left.
