1155 Rituals of the Old Gods
"But I'm done." Lin Chi said with a smile.
"You ......"
As soon as Andrea spoke, Bloodblade's impatient voice had already floated over: "Are you done?" ”
"Be careful."
Andrea left such a warning, and walked quickly to her master, Lin Chi didn't say anything, and immediately followed.
There may be a chance that NPCs will go crazy when reading ancient books like the Crimson Book, but it is not so easy for players to be stimulated to go crazy in the game.
Unless an unknown special method is used like Methuselah, an in-game book alone will have no effect on the player.
Leaving the "danger zone" near the railroad tracks, the trio set up camp on a nearby wasteland, and with Andrea's help, the campfire was lit up again.
Sitting by the fire, Lin Chi opened the note that Andrea had just written, and finally learned the materials needed for the ceremony:
Outsiders' blood, two large vials.
A stone tablet inscribed with ancient runes, one piece.
Human skull, one.
After reading the contents of the letter, Lin Chi said to the Blood Blade, "Can you help me get some of the player's blood?" ”
"Is my own okay?" As he spoke, Bloody Blade was about to draw his knife and slit his wrist.
Andreya, who had been silent after arriving at the camp, suddenly spoke: "It takes a lot of blood, and your body can't bear it, master. ”
"Then the two of us will have to cut our wrists together, we are both outsiders anyway." The Blood Blade cast his expectant gaze on Lin Chi.
"Is that enough?" Lin Chi turned to Andrea, who was sitting by the fire.
"If it's the two of you, the amount should be enough, and I can provide the slate, but I still need a skull." Andrea was quick to make a request.
"It's easy, I just noticed a couple of tombstones nearby." Lin Chi smiled.
Hearing this, Blood Blade, who had always been confused, finally couldn't help but ask, "What the hell are you talking about?" Cult rituals? ”
"It's the summoning ritual that this gentleman is going to perform, honorable master." Andrea bent down slightly, lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed.
"What the hell are you going to summon?" The Blood Blade cast a suspicious look at Lin Chi.
"There is an all-knowing and all-powerful god who can tell you where that so-called criminal is." Lin Chi sold Guan Zi seriously.
In fact, he didn't know if the old gods would be able to find the leader that Bloodblade was looking for, but he was just talking about it. However, for this bloody ritual, the Bloody Blade looks like it is also very interested:
"Let's do it."
She spoke in a hoarse voice, her petite figure disappearing into shadows uncovered by the firelight.
When the Bloody Blade came back again, there was already an extra skull with bullet holes in his hand. It seemed to have been dug up from a nearby grave, and at this time, Andrea had also picked up a stone slab and used the sharp knife she was wearing to engrave strange symbols that Lin Chi couldn't understand.
"Now, please put your skull on the slate."
Andrea gave the order in a calm tone, as if she had become the priest of this "cult ritual". Under her instructions, Lin Chi and the Blood Blade stood beside the stone slab one on the left and one on the right, and raised their knives to cut their wrists.
Thick plasma poured out of the wound, staining the skull on the slate. More and more blood fell, and soon it covered the entire slate.
"Okay? If we continue like this, we're going to get cold. Lin Chi asked.
- Scratches on the wrist are not considered serious injuries in the game, as long as they are used with bandages. However, if it drags on until there is too much blood loss, the player will still be judged dead directly.
"Please bear with me." Andrea looked at the two who were bleeding when they raised their wrists, until Lin Chi's body had begun to chill, she finally nodded:
"That's it."
Before the words fell, Lin Chi had already immediately taken out a bandage and wrapped it around the wound on his wrist, and the speed at which the blood blade was bandaged was also extremely fast.
Then, they heard an unusually low voice, as if it had come from an ancient whisper tens of thousands of years ago:
"Outsiders, you have built the altar."
On the humble altar soaked in the blood of the "outsider", a strange purple light lit up in the skeleton's hollow eyes, and the voice seemed to have its own terrifying coercion, which made Lin Chigang's body, which had just recovered a little temperature, suddenly become colder:
"Offer sacrifices, and I will curse your enemies."
"Well, we're not here to curse this time." Lin Chi tentatively asked: "We are looking for someone, can you help?" ”
"Offer me an offering." The whispers of the old gods seemed to burst out from their bodies, shaking the internal organs of the three people present: "I need sacrifices. ”
"What sacrifice?" Bloodblade asked curiously.
"Ten human skulls." The Old God's answer was very succinct: "Bring them to the altar." ”
As he finished speaking, the purple light in the skeleton's eye sockets dimmed and soon disappeared. The shocking whispers disappeared at the same time, as if they had never appeared at all.
It wasn't until a minute after the ancient god disappeared that the Blood Blade finally woke up like a dream, rushed to Lin Chi, and stood on tiptoe to stare at his face:
"This is what you call an entourage?"
"That's right." Lin Chi also admitted it very happily.
"I thought you were talking nonsense...... "Bloodblade asked aloud, "where did you find this?" ”
"Secret." Lin Chi smiled.
"Don't sell it, I'm asking you." Bloodblade drew his saber and spun around his fingertips: "I'm very interested in your retinue, brother. ”
"It's a matter of personal privacy." Lin Chi spread out his hand: "Will you tell me where your entourage was recruited from?" ”
"No, it won't."
"That's fine." Lin Chi said.
"I just didn't expect you kid to hide such a good thing...... Bloody Blade licked his lips: "Compared to the time of the invitational tournament, your strength should be a lot stronger, right?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's getting weaker." Lin Chi said casually.
For a guy like Bloody Blade with an unknown purpose, he naturally won't reveal all his hole cards.
And at this time, Andrea, who had just guided the altar building ceremony, finally spoke again:
"Master, I don't advise you to have too much contact with this 'god'."
"What's wrong?" Bloodblade raised his eyebrows: "I still like this kind of thing, the 'monster' summoned with blood and skeletons feels very handsome, doesn't it?" ”
"This 'deity' symbolizes pure evil, and even you can't accept it." Andrea lowered her voice: "Until it's irreparable, you'd better be cautious in what you say and do." ”
"Don't take it too seriously, Andrea." Bloodblade didn't take the words of his followers to heart at all: "I'm not that fragile, don't worry......"
- What does this woman know that makes her so afraid of the old gods?
Lin Chi, who was confused, looked at Andreya's side face that was red by the firelight.
