Chapter 308 [Lord of the Rhine]? Evil God?


    The texture of this paper was extremely unique. It gave Kuhl a smooth feeling after he picked it up. It was made of the leather of an unknown animal.


    "It can''t be human skin, right?"


    This thought flashed through Kull''s mind for no reason, but he was quickly dismissed by himself.


    However, even if it is not human skin, this mysterious leather paper brings an indescribable sense of weirdness and mystery to Kull.


    The weird workmanship, the dark brown lines, and the invisible secret power lingering on it all seemed extremely strange.


    It''s so strange that it''s like...it''s not a creation of this world!


    "Where did this vellum come from?"


    "Why in my house?"


    Kuhl inevitably had such doubts, but after doubts, his curiosity was also aroused.


    His intuition told him that there might be a huge secret hidden in this piece of paper, and there seemed to be a seductive whisper whispering in his ear.


    "Turn it over...open it...read it..."


    So, Kull opened the paper and saw the line of words with unknown meaning.


    【Calling the name of Rhine...】


    Although these words were in a language that Kull knew, there were subtle differences in the way they were written. It took him a while to identify them.


    Soon, as Kull began to read down the contents of the leather paper, his expression became increasingly weird.


    On this piece of leather paper, an existence named [Lord of Rhine] was recorded.


    He is a traveler in the [Secret Sea], a traveler in thousands of [Secret Realms], and he is the master of a world!


    In that world called [Rhine], there is bright sunshine, abundant water sources, and dense forests, and creatures can walk freely on the earth.


    The resources that are extremely scarce for the dwarves in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are as accessible as air and are everywhere in that world.


    It''s like a fertile "golden land."


    "Is such a world really possible?"


    After reading the description on the leather paper, Kull looked dazed and murmured in disbelief.


    "Or is this just a false existence that was made up casually?"


    Even though the history of the dwarf tribe is relatively well preserved, after such a long period of erosion, there will always be many distortions in the history and legends passed down.


    In addition, there are differences in the environment between [The Furnace Secret Realm] and [Seven Seas World].


    Many dwarves are no longer able to understand what "sunshine", "rain" and "forest" really are, and they can only glimpse a corner of them from some books and murals left in ancient times.


    At the moment, the world described on this piece of paper is really too dreamy for Kull.


    So much so that he subconsciously thought it was a fictional existence.


    What makes Kuhl even more concerned is that in the second half of the leather paper, there is also a ritual that calls for the "Lord of the Rhine".


    As long as you call [Lord of the Rhine], you will get his response.


    Moreover, you can pray to Him for what you desire, such as strength, weapons... and even creatures from other worlds!


    If the caller is pious enough, these existences can respond to the call and descend into [Ghana World].


    "This...this is..."


    Kull''s eyes suddenly widened, his eyes lit up with hope, and he whispered to himself.


    "Acquire...power from another world?"


    Kuhl''s situation at this time can be described as extremely bad.


    Because of Bronzebeard''s unstoppable rise, the original chance of the clan leader''s successor no longer existed.


    My wife was also imprisoned because of the [Barbarian Ax Tribe], and I don’t know if she can be released later.


    What frightened him the most was that the Bronzebeard seemed to have recovered part of his memory, and guessed that the battle against the [Fire Lizard] was actually his own conspiracy!


    If Bronzebeard wanted to take revenge on him later, wouldn''t he have no choice but to be killed?


    Don’t do that kind of thing!


    Kull wailed in his heart.


    In short, because of these factors, he is now in a desperate situation, and the days to come will only become more difficult.


    In Kuhl''s own capacity, there is almost no solution to this dilemma.


    But what if…


    How about praying to this [Lord of the Rhine]?


    As long as you get the power from another world, maybe you can defeat the Bronzebeard who is bleeding with the "blood of the God of War", right?


    Perhaps, he can also use this power to become the leader of the [Warhammer Tribe] again and become a hero in Mary''s eyes!


    The more Kull thought about it, the stronger the greed and desire in his heart became.


    He swallowed and couldn''t help but stretched out his hand...


    But just when he touched the leather paper again and the smooth and weird feeling came into his mind, Kull suddenly thought of what Hope once said to him.


    In this world, the dwarves will naturally have ignorant and primitive beliefs.


    The more common ones are the belief in [Born Furnace] and [Ancestral Totem].


    This is very easy to understand.


    These two are the foundation for the survival of every dwarf tribe.


    Without the protection of the [Ancestral Totem] and the equipment forged by the [Original Furnace], the dwarves would have been extinct in this harsh environment.


    In the long-term use, people will inevitably develop a mentality of worship and dependence on it, and it will take on "sacred" characteristics.


    This is how the original faith was born.


    However, there are some dwarves who have a relatively niche belief, which is the belief in the extremely huge [Fire] in the underground - [Gana].


    They believe that all the [lava mines] in the world come from gifts from [Ghana].


    Because [Lava Mine] is the only source of light in this underground world, it can resist the erosion and terror of darkness, and it has a certain "sacredness" in itself.


    So, doesn’t the source of all [Lava Mines], the source of [Fire] [Ghana], also possess this kind of “sacredness”?


    In fact, if [Fire Seeds] hadn''t sometimes preyed on dwarves, and the two sides had an irresolvable hatred, maybe some people would have faith in them.


    Of course, the dwarves who believe in [Gana] only occupy a very small part of the tribe and do not have much influence.


    According to Hope, in addition to these two objects of faith, there is also an extremely dangerous and weird existence.


    They may be shadow creatures hiding in the darkness;


    Perhaps it is an ominous figure that visits in a dream;


    Or maybe... it''s an indescribable thing that claims to be from another world!


    Hopper refers to these things collectively as—


    Evil God!


    They often use various methods to confuse those ignorant dwarves in order to achieve their own evil and ulterior purposes.


    Just coming into contact with them will bring about ominous misfortune. You may also encounter mental pollution, physical distortion, and embark on a crazy road full of thorns.


    In the end, it brought disaster and destruction to himself, the tribe, and even the entire [Ghana World].


    Hope once warned the members of the [Warhammer Tribe] very seriously that once they discover anything related to the "evil god", they must report it and destroy it as soon as possible.


    Because of his serious attitude at the time, Kuhl remembered these words.


    Thinking of this, Kull suddenly took back his hand on the leather paper and threw it away like a hot potato.


    "This, this is a thing of the evil god!?"


    Combining the contents on the leather paper, it is not difficult for Kuhl to draw such a conclusion.


    At this moment, the most correct thing for him to do is to give this piece of paper to Hope and then destroy it completely.


    "But, is this... really good?" It was like a whisper suddenly sounded in Kull''s ears.


    This whisper was full of bewitching power, interrupting his original movements.


    In fact, Kull knew very well that there were no whispers at all.


    That was just the truest thought in his heart.


    Whether it''s a **** from another world or an evil god, as long as it can give him the strength to free himself from this miserable and miserable situation, isn''t that enough?


    But if he is an evil god, can he really get this power?


    What should we do if it brings disaster to the entire tribe?


    Kull''s body trembled slightly, and a fierce struggle flashed in his bloodshot eyes, as if there were two villains fighting in his mind, and his brain was almost boiling in this battle.


    After all, he was not a particularly smart dwarf.


    Otherwise, he wouldn''t have obeyed Mary''s advice and come up with such a clumsy plot to frame Bronzebeard.


    At this time, Kuhl suffered a series of changes, and suddenly came into contact with "suspected relics of the evil god". Naturally, he received a huge mental shock, so that his thinking was a little chaotic.


    To put it more plainly, his brain is a little broken.


    So, after a fierce struggle in his mind, Kull suddenly laughed.


    "Hehe...hehehaha!"


    "What evil gods, what tribes, what disasters...it doesn''t matter! Only the power is real!"


    "Anyway, the situation can''t get any worse. Even if the tribe is destroyed, so what?"


    "It doesn''t matter anymore..."


    Kull stretched out his hand, grabbed the roll of paper with force, and firmly remembered the part about "Calling Ritual" in his mind.


    After doing all this, Kull lit the piece of paper on fire and completely "destroyed the body and traces."


    Later, Kull took some materials recorded in the ritual and left the cave of [Warhammer Tribe] alone.


    The paper said that when arranging the ritual, it may cause fluctuations in the secret power.


    Therefore, it is better to choose a more remote place to "call".


    Along the way, someone also noticed Kuhl leaving alone.


    However, looking at his pale face, bloodshot eyes, and nagging temperament, the dwarves were inexplicably afraid of him.


    Considering Kuhl''s recent experience, it was thought that it would be better not to disturb him.


    It didn''t take long.


    Kuhl came to an extremely remote cave.


    The caves and tunnels in [The Furnace Secret Realm] are intricate, and this small cave is a secret space that only Kuhl knows.


    After climbing into the cave, Kull immediately arranged an extremely simple ritual according to the records on the leather paper.


    According to the statement on the paper, different rituals can bring different effects.


    The more complex the ritual, the more power it can draw.


    Even later, you can offer valuable sacrifices in exchange for what you desire.


    However, this is still the first call after all, and the authenticity of the ritual is not yet certain. Of course, Kull will choose the simplest one to try first.


    After arranging the ritual track with several pieces of metal, animal skulls and [lava mine] powder, Kull walked to the center of the ritual track.


    At this last moment, he still hesitated.


    Once you take this step, you really can''t turn back.


    But in the end, the desire for power in my heart defeated everything.


    Kull''s eyes became determined, he cut his finger with a knife, and dropped a drop of blood in the ritual.


    Then, Kull closed his eyes and whispered to himself.


    "With my blood, I call your name."


    "Great [Lord of the Rhine], please listen to my call..."


    As the words fall, the mysterious power condenses in the ritual.


    Buzz —


    Invisible and weak vibrations spread in all directions.


    It''s like an [Anchor] is deeply embedded in the [Mystic Realm of the Furnace], and it can no longer be separated.


    …


    …


    at the same time.


    Xia En, who was walking in the tunnel, raised his lips.


    "Sure enough, you still can''t resist the temptation?"


    In his ears, Kull''s voice was clearly heard.


    "...Great [Lord of the Rhine], please listen..."


    Not only that, Xia En also felt that there was a thread connecting him to Kuhl and the [Furnace Secret Realm].


    An [Anchor Point] has fallen in [The Furnace Secret Realm].


    And it has a subtle connection with the [Pedestal] in the [Rhine Secret Realm].


    Yes, all of this is the [Anchor Point Plan] that Xia En had previously imagined.


    On his own, it would actually be difficult to leave the [anchor point] for the teleportation ritual in [The Furnace Secret Realm].


    The reason is simple.


    Xia En is a stowaway to [The Furnace Secret Realm].


    Once someone shows signs of coming from the [Rhine Secret Realm], they will be severely banned, and they may not even be able to keep their identity as "Bronzebeard Warhammer".


    On the other hand, it is impossible for Xia En to stay in [The Furnace Secret Realm] all the time, nor to conduct trade between the two [Secret Realms] personally.


    Then, the best way is to let the indigenous residents of [The Furnace Secret Realm] take the initiative to contact the [Rhine Secret Realm].


    But here comes the problem.


    Why do ordinary dwarves want to contact such an unknown and mysterious world?


    In the eyes of most people, such a strange world is probably full of unknown risks.


    Keeping a respectful distance is the attitude of ordinary people.


    So, Shane set his sights on Kuhl.


    Kuhl''s situation undoubtedly met his requirements perfectly.


    Being in a bad situation and being forced into desperation means that he will take desperate measures and try to contact the [Rhine Secret Realm].


    Both intelligence and strength are limited - convenient for Xia En to control.


    The most important point is that he has a grudge against "Bronzebeard Warhammer", so Xia En will not feel any guilt when he deceives him!


    At this time, Shane could not only hear Kuhl''s call, but also vaguely perceive the scene where he was and his current actions.


    Kuhl murmured piously.


    "[Lord of the Rhine], please give me strength..."
