Chapter 152: Summoning Must Require Sacrifices This is the Custom (Although I Don't Know Why)
After Marcel's humanoid machinery collected all the magic crystals brought by the merchants, Marcel took a slow step forward and said.
"If you're ready, come with me. He turned and walked towards the manor, and the rest of the people looked at each other and followed.
"You all be careful, I think there's something weird. Jill glanced at the godless humanoid machines on either side of the cargo and said to Mann and the Silver Sword team.
"Really?" the dwarf John touched his beard, "I think the host here is very hospitable, but you have too much heart." ”
Jill didn't bother to explain to a person like John, who couldn't use his brains, and closed his mouth: "Hopefully." ”
He really couldn't say what was weird about it now, but the feeling had always been around him.
Chu's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, it was really familiar, and it was as if she had returned to the Apostolic Wasteland to be summoned.
Marcell's banquet for everyone was sumptuous and extravagant, with the mechanical maid neatly serving wine and delicacies, the ornate hall with elaborate long tables, melodious and elegant music playing slowly, everything was as imagined, it was like a lavish aristocratic banquet, except that the attendants were turned into machines.
Several of the merchants wanted to talk to Marcell, but Marcel was clearly not interested in communicating with them, and he just sat in the corner from the beginning to the end of the feast, looking at everyone with a polite smile.
When the feast was over, he took the merchants on a tour of the manor, and had to admit that his manor was enough to amaze everyone, not in the extravagant dress, but in the magic carvings that were applied almost everywhere.
Marcell's estate is a museum of magical carvings, with samples of all the world's carved applications, as well as trials of carved patterns that are not found in the world.
Magic lights controlled by sound, carpets that clean dirt automatically, stairs that can be raised and lowered without walking.
There is no doubt that all of them are here to open their eyes, and what they see and hear today is even something they never imagined before.
The manor was large enough for them to wander around for a long time, and the novelty of the carvings made them stop and go, and time passed imperceptibly.
Until a mechanical maid walked up to Marcell's side and whispered a few words, Marcel stopped with a smile, his eyes shining with an indescribable fiery light, as if he had accomplished some great work.
He opened his hands to everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, just now with the help of the goods you sent, I finally completed the greatest work of my life, and now I want to show you the beauty of this work, I wonder if you are interested?"
What would it be like to be called the greatest work by his genius, people wondered.
A person immediately raised the wine glass in his hand and said.
"Of course, Mr. Marcell, please don't ask us if we are interested, we should thank you for your achievements, and you will definitely bring great contributions to the mainland. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, let us join in thanking Mr. Marcel. ”
"To Marshall. ”
"To Marshall. All of them raised their glasses.
In the voice of thanks, Marcel hooked the corners of his mouth, yes, people should thank him, he will bring the greatest contribution to humanity and bring salvation to people.
"Then please come with me. ”
He spread out his hands and made a gesture of please.
He led the group into a small courtyard, and then Marcel pressed a carved roulette wheel by the door.
With a creaking sound, a large door opened in the center of the small courtyard, and as they walked in, everyone came to an underground secret room.
People looked around in astonishment, because the chamber was so large that it was comparable to Marcell's entire estate, and one couldn't help but worry that the place would collapse.
"Oh, don't worry, I've done the carving work, and it's safe here. ”
Marcel seemed to be the first to notice the doubts of several people, explained with a smile, and then snapped his fingers.
The pale blue firelight illuminated the chamber, and the massive room finally revealed its true form.
Dense, endless carvings spread all over the ground and walls, extending all the way to people's feet.
The appearance of so many carvings at the same time gives people a shocking feeling, but after the shock, there is fear, because even the city defense carvings do not need the support of so many carvings, and the appearance of these carvings is so weird, people look at it unconsciously chilling.
Countless cyborg figures are putting the finishing touches on the Chamber of Secrets, inlaying the magic crystals sent by the merchants into the carvings.
Nearly 10,000 magic crystals made the magic element in this room extremely rich.
"How, isn't it incredibly beautiful. Marcel stood in front of the crowd and took a deep breath in intoxication.
"Ma, Mr. Marcell," a merchant asked, swallowing a mouthful of saliva and turning pale.
"What is this work of yours for?"
What a question, oh, what a stupid question. It's really sad that these people can't appreciate this ultimate charm.
Marcel smiled faintly and turned around, his hands behind his back.
"I once saw a book that showed that outside of our world, there was another world, oh no, I should say many worlds, and I called them different planes, which is my own definition and naming. ”
As he spoke, he walked to the workbench in the chamber.
"The planes are endless, and the humans and creatures in each plane are so different that we don't know each other's existence, but the other does exist. Don't you think it's wonderful, maybe there's another you or me doing something else in another plane. ”
Hearing his words, the merchants looked at the room in amazement, they had already vaguely guessed that this room was probably Marcel's way of connecting to a plane.
"Of course, my focus is not on that, my focus is on the discovery of one of the thousands of planes. ”
Marcel stood in front of the workbench, took off his coat, put on a white robe, and put on a pair of gloves, smiled and continued to explain unhurriedly.
"That being can move freely through all planes, she is born to absorb people's sins, and as long as people's sins do not dissipate, she will not die. She is an eternal being, beautiful and incomparably beautiful. Few people have the privilege of seeing her face, but if someone can summon her, she will grant a wish of those who are calling and take away a share of sin. ”
"How great, isn't it, it's simply a savior. ”
Marcel said, his eyes growing more and more frenetic.
"It's a pity that most of the people who summoned her didn't know how to use her at all, and just let her take away such small and one-sided things as war, hatred, loneliness, and anger. You know, I used to be so angry that the unqualified were chosen, but the truly qualified were not chosen!"
Marcel said, patting his chest as if to express his anger, but he soon calmed down and smiled and lowered his hand.
"But it doesn't matter, I'm able to summon her on my own now. I will use her properly and let her redeem our world. ”
Hearing this, the people finally understood what Marchel meant, but by this time, the door of the secret room behind them had been closed.
Marcel placed his hands in a circle of glyphs on the workbench, and as he began to recite the obscure incantation, a black glow began to glow from the countless carvings in the room.
"You, you, you, you. A merchant fell to the ground and pointed at Marcel speechless.
"Yes, yes. Marcel smiled and said what he wanted to say.
"I'm going to use these carvings to connect the planes and summon the messenger, and you will be my first sacrifice to her. ”
