Chapter 0319: Divination
It's an empty magical chamber.
Except for the eye-catching mysterious witch circle on the ground, there was nothing else in the secret room.
"Don't even leave me a chair......"
Alice pouted, walked slowly to the witch circle, and looked down to examine it.
It is a simple guardian witch array, and once activated, the entire secret room will be sealed off. At that time, you don't have to worry about being disturbed by the outside world when you are promoted!
Alice imprinted her witchcraft imprint into the Guardian Witch Circle according to a fixed ritual, so that even if Grim was the master of the secret room, she would not want to see everything inside.
Everyone has their own secrets, even if Alice has recognized Grim's identity as the owner, but this does not mean that she is willing to give up her rights and privacy.
The Guardian Circle slowly began to move, and faint fluorescent light began to appear on the walls, floor, and ceiling of the vault, cutting off all contact between this place and the outside world.
Alice sat cross-legged in the center of the chamber and began to place the resources and props needed for the promotion ceremony at her side. With her brilliant mind and strong memory, she can remember exactly where every item is placed.
Everything is within her reach for easy access.
Most of the medicines on the left side are needed to be taken before the ceremony, and there are about seventeen or eighteen in total. It is not used to enhance the physique, or to strengthen the spirit, and then it is to stabilize the mind...... In short, each item and each flask has its own unique purpose that can help increase the probability of success in the ranks.
Most of the items placed in front of him are related to the promotion ceremony, the most conspicuous of which is a crystal altar, and next to it are some strange objects that need to be used in sacrifices.
The group of wizards has been derived from barbarism and obscurantism since ancient times, and although modern times have undergone tens of thousands of years of improvement and change, there are still remnants of ancient witchcraft in many details.
At that time, sorcerers often performed extremely cruel and bloody rituals, killing all the creatures of rival tribes, and watering their bodies with their flesh and blood in order to obtain powerful and strange spell-casting powers.
Although it has become much more civilized now, and some powerful and strange objects are commonly used to replace the flesh and blood of living beings, the sacrificial rituals have basically been preserved.
On the right, there are some recovery foods and potions.
After all, the promotion ceremony is a huge and long ordeal for most people, and the guy who can successfully cross over is basically exhausted, not to mention the serious injury of vitality. Therefore, repairing and recovering afterwards is also something that must be carefully cared about!
With everything in place, Alice gently removed her robe, revealing her body underneath.
The transparency of her body had spread to her chest.
Although the area below the chest could still be felt and driven by her, it could not be seen, and even the probe could not touch it. At the edge of the chest, the skin has become translucent, and the blood vessels, texture, and slowly beating heart inside are all visible at a glance.
And the energy in the Void Stone is still infecting itself, and there are even faint signs of acceleration.
As for what would have become of her if she had been completely infected by the Void Stone, Alice had no information to refer to. However, since obtaining a special magic tattoo, the ethereal aura of fate in the past has become clearer.
As Alice thought about the harm of these infestations to herself, a wave of malice welled up in her heart. Even vaguely, Alice could feel that the world was rejecting her.
This is probably the most obvious hint that fate has given her!
Now that it has been determined that the current changes are harmful to oneself, there is no need to hesitate to interrupt this process of changing one's own form of existence with the help of the promotion ceremony.
Therefore, Ellie did not hesitate to eat and drink.
Salo Fruit, Protozoa, Earth Fire Syrup, Fergue Elixir, Purple Aquatic Mushroom......
After eating a bunch of miscellaneous things, Alice couldn't help but burp.
The powerful drug began to kick in, and her physical and mental stimulation gradually became more and more excited. Alice clenched her small fists lightly, silently enduring a mighty torrent of life that began to slowly rush through her body.
Gradually, the blood began to boil.
Alice's little face was flushed, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down, looking like she couldn't support it.
Her disadvantage was that her initial physique was too low, even if it was like a lot of precious resources, the energy surging in her body was far beyond the limit of her spiritual power. Therefore, the skyrocketing basic attributes of her body brought her, in addition to the inexhaustible false sense of strength, there were also body organs that were constantly broken and repaired.
While enduring the impact of all the violent aura in her body, Alice grabbed a bag of magic crystal powder and spilled a magic circle on her side. Then he carefully moved the crystal altar into it, and lit four candles at the four corners of the altar.
When everything was settled, Alice knelt down in front of the altar and silently began to communicate the deep and obscure laws of fate.
The magic circle exists to isolate the inside from the outside.
It has no beginning and no end, and for this it represents immortality. The inner edge of the circle is seen as a place outside of the mundane spatial time, and the rituals performed within the circle have their own spatial and temporal structure.
Alice has the blood of the Witch of Destiny, and the source of her power is not a god or a powerful wizard, but a branch of fate that has been fully integrated into the laws of the wizarding world.
To put it more bluntly, the blood power of the Witch of Destiny comes from the moon of Koto's 'Misa'.
Back then, the Witch King led thirteen powerful witches to found the Northland Witch Organization, and resolutely left the ice, snow and bitter cold land in the north of the Wizard Continent. Countless witches used their lives and blood to wrest pieces of land from the terrible jungle creatures, monsters, mutants, and polluters, and erected wizard towers before the Northland Witch Kingdom was born.
Later, after the "Wizard Change", all the great wizards above the 4th rank were forced to leave here, and they could no longer set foot in the wizarding world for half a step.
And as an exchange of interests, the world will of the wizarding world has also opened up some world rules to a limited extent, allowing great wizards who have reached a certain level to leave their own imprints in it.
In order to allow the power of the Northland witches to be passed on forever, while the Witch King led many high-level witches to leave the wizarding world, some witches chose to stay, and then their entire bodies and souls were integrated into the rules of the world.
In this way, the inheritance of the thirteen branches of the Northland Witches has become part of the rules of the world, and there is no need to worry about the extinction of the inheritance!
Therefore, if Alice wants to advance, she will not take the path of accumulating knowledge for ordinary wizards, strengthening herself, and then condensing the core of the wizard's heart and communicating the laws of the plane. The witches have taken a completely different path of inheritance!
The knowledge and abilities they need are in the world rules of the wizarding world, and what they need to do is to use their own blood to seek the recognition of the world rules, so as to obtain the recognition of the world's will.
So when Alice prayed reverently, she took out a crystal dagger from the ritual prop, stabbed her palm fiercely, and then raised her hand flat in front of her chest, allowing the dripping blood to stain the crystal altar red.
As soon as Alice's blood touched the altar, the altar was lit up with a dazzling silver glow.
The magic circle made of magic crystal powder also began to burn.
In the void, countless silver chains slowly poked out and began to wrap around Alice's body, which had disappeared for the most part.
Alice shuddered violently, and her whole body began to shake violently.
In the invisible void of the naked eye, a huge amount of knowledge and witch inheritance frantically poured into Alice's consciousness through the embodied law chain. Its momentum is so fierce that it has a tendency to blow her up in an instant!
"Ah......h
Alice's thin body trembled like chaff, her eyes were bloody, and the muscles of her face were twisted by pain.
In the space of her consciousness, a huge balance made of silver light gradually manifested, towering in front of her.
In the void, an unusually grand and huge voice rang out.
"Destiny!! Destiny!! Destiny !!"
"Follow the rules of fate, keep the ancient covenant, and I will show you the legacy of fate. ”
"And you, what are you going to exchange for this part of the inheritance?"
As soon as the grand voice appeared, countless books and knowledge crystals appeared at one end of the huge scale, and the whole balance instantly fell to one side, raising the other end high.
Alice's virtual girl figure appeared in front of the scale, looked at the huge mountain-like balance body, and said categorically: "I am willing to exchange all my own." ”
In the next second, her thin body appeared at the end of the scale.
It's a pity that her appearance is like pressing a goose feather, and the unbalanced balance has not even moved.
"Your power can't take away this knowledge, so ......"
As the majestic voice appeared, the books and knowledge crystals on the other side of the scale began to diminish at a rate visible to the naked eye.
However, when the items at the other end were reduced by half, the heavy balance remained unmoved.
The number of items continues to decrease......
Each time one is reduced, Alice's heart is as uncomfortable and painful as a knife, but there is nothing to be done.
Soon, there were only a dozen or so books left that were like a mountain just a moment ago.
At this time, the huge scales trembled slightly, and the ends began to move slowly.
11 Ben ......
The pointer in the middle of the balance is moving......
8 ......
The hands of the scales are still moving, and there is still a long way to go from the equilibrium point......
4 ......
The hands of the scales gradually begin to move closer to the equilibrium point......
Hurry, hurry, hurry......
Alice clenched her fists and began to cheer desperately.
Finally, as the huge balance returned to its original equilibrium, Alice's mental space suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver light.
"Congratulations, candidate of fate, you have successfully received the gift of fate. Please receive it now!"
By this time, there was only one book left on the tray at the other end of the scale.
Divination!
