Chapter 284: Wizard Gathering [Part II]
Everyone in the manor gets busy to welcome Serlie and the wizards who come with them. According to Lilia, there should be some preparation.
Although Lilia, like their ancestors, has never left the land beneath her feet since her birth, that doesn't mean that wizards like Lilia are ignorant of the outside world. For a long time, there will always be some refuge wizards and some special creatures who will either sleep here or leave again and continue their journey.
Lilia had been in close contact with several wizards who passed by, and in addition to obtaining some magic spells from some witches, she was also aware of some of the customs among wizards.
For thousands of years, the pressure and persecution from humans and other supernatural creatures have caused most wizards to give up a lot of prejudices and hostility between them.
Many of the customs that have been handed down since ancient times have now become unrecognizable. But there is one that has not changed to this day, and is regarded as an immutable rule by all wizards, and is tacitly obeyed together. That is, only those who serve the crowd can hold shamans' gatherings.
This service to the public does not only refer to the attainments and strength of magic. The highly respected also have the ability and appeal to hold shamans' gatherings.
What is the most powerful force in the world, apart from the universe and nature?
Vampire Progenitors?
Or hordes of werewolves?
Wizards and witches will tell you that the most powerful supernatural force in this world, apart from the universe and nature, is the Wizards' Gathering!
Where there are wizards, there are wizards' gatherings.
For many wizards, the Wizards' Gathering is nothing strange to them. Even some itinerant wizards, after arriving in a certain place, will participate in some of the local wizards' public wizarding gatherings.
Wizards' gatherings can be held for a variety of purposes, such as the exchange of magic and spells, or the exchange of information and intelligence. In fact, if more than two wizards and witches work together for the same purpose, it can be considered an informal gathering of wizards.
This kind of informal wizarding gathering is also the most familiar kind of wizarding gathering for all wizards. It is also an open, non-exclusive gathering of wizards with a relatively good atmosphere for outsiders and strangers. Formal shamans' gatherings are mostly held during a certain period of time, in relatively serious and private and closed occasions. Most of these witches' gatherings have a certain regional and exclusive surname, giving people a sense of mystery.
The rituals that have been passed down from generation to generation in many regions are also considered to be one of these formal shamanic gatherings.
In most formal wizarding gatherings, there are no foreign or strange wizards. The local shamans who are performing the ritual will not welcome strange and unfamiliar wizards to break in before the ritual is over.
If a wizard rashly breaks into such a wizarding gathering, the greatest possibility will be to attract the wizards of the entire wizarding assembly to attack mercilessly. And the power of a wizard's gathering is directly proportional to the number of wizards involved.
Such formal gatherings of wizards have absolute authority among local wizards. In a gathering of shamans convened for some kind of ritual or ritual, even two sorcerers who are hostile to each other and have grievances with each other will put aside their previous animosities and work together from the beginning to the end of the ritual.
In the city where Tang Bai is located, there are also such rituals. That's where local witches like Lilia are required to perform ancestor sacrifices every three hundred years. They receive the power to use magic from their ancestors by sacrificing the lives and blood of their descendants.
There is also a very common gathering of wizards, in order to achieve a certain need and purpose, so as to gather a number of wizards to cast a certain powerful spell that requires abundant power to be able to cast.
This kind of relatively formal wizarding gathering gives people a very unpleasant appearance, and even makes people a little disgusted and fearful. Because of the convening of such witch gatherings, a large part of them represent blood and death. In fact, the reason why the reputation of wizards is so stinky among human beings that people talk about it is also deeply related to such ritual-based witch gatherings.
Lilia has also convened such rituals, sacrificing five of her fellow wizards in exchange for great power.
Although the scale of the wizard assembly convened by Tang Bai is not small, it is still not a formal gathering of wizards with an authoritative surname. Perhaps it was held many times, with the passage of time becoming more and more accustomed to the wizards, and happy to participate in it because of its benefits, that it slowly transformed into a formal and authoritative gathering of wizards.
It's not easy to do that!
Things that have no benefits and benefits in this world are not conducive to and cannot be carried out for a long time. The same goes for wizarding gatherings.
Whether it's the exchange of intelligence and information, magical experiences, or various rituals, this kind of wizarding gathering has some kind of benefit to most of the wizards involved. This is one of the important factors why they are happy to be a part of it.
If Tang Bai wants to form an authority and custom for the wizard gatherings convened and held by him, then what he must ensure is that each session can bring enough benefits to the participants. At least it is the benefit of being able to attract them, so that they are willing to work hard and rush to participate.
Doing this is tantamount to laying a solid foundation.
This is not difficult for Tang Bai. With the knowledge and resources in his hands, he was able to attract a large number of wizards in the early days. In the later stage, the more wizards participated, even if Tang Bai no longer paid outward, he had absolute confidence to continue and maintain it.
But this is all for the future, according to what Lilia said, what Tang Bai needs to face and deal with now is to establish his reputation as a convener and organizer among those wizards who are coming! To put it more simply, it is necessary to stand up in front of the visitor!
What is the easiest and most convenient way for someone with strength to gain prestige?
It is to show their ability and strength without reservation! No matter where a powerful person is, someone will always listen to what he says. For supernatural beings who regard strength as a second life, having great power is also one of the easiest ways to gain their recognition and honor. (To be continued.) )
