Chapter 363: Anna and Death (2)
After chanting the Inheritance Mantra, Anna slit her wrist and let her blood drip to the ground.
The blood quickly sank into the ground and vanished.
Anna stopped the bleeding and waited silently for a while.
It's quiet.
Nothing happened.
This time, though, Anna was clearly more patient.
The ritual of summoning the sleeping god of death in the temple has always taken five hours.
The five hours represent the first birth, full bloom, withering, soul return, and rebirth of life.
This is a complete process from birth to death, which is in line with the teachings of the Holy Religion of Death.
During these five hours, the summoner can do whatever it takes to try to get the attention of the Grim Reaper.
Historically, there have been people who have shown their great strength in front of a high platform, and there have been people who have made evil sacrifices in an attempt to please the god of death.
Some people even have the whimsical idea that it is only by sacrificing their own lives or the lives of others that the gods who preside over death will come to see them.
They paid a terrible price, but no one succeeded.
For this reason, these five hours are also known as the "call of despair".
Anna was calm about this.
She hadn't expected to awaken death in the first place.
So she - didn't do anything.
After all, with the exception of the first head of the Medici family, there have been countless generations of heroes in the long course of history, none of whom have succeeded in summoning the Grim Reaper.
Anna doesn't feel like she's better than them.
Anna stood where she was, waiting a little longer.
Five hours, which is a bit long.
Anna thought for a moment, took a few steps back, and found a clean place to sit down.
She waited silently for the time to pass, for the ritual to end.
After all, this ritual is something that the head of the family must do, and it cannot be done halfway.
Time passes slowly.
Inside the temple, there was no movement except for the occasional crackling sound of the illuminated flames.
Anna doesn't do anything, and she doesn't try to find a way to awaken the Grim Reaper.
She was just waiting for the time to walk for five hours.
- When a person sees time being consumed for no reason, then in his senses, time becomes incomparably long.
She had to wait for most of the night, and Anna was completely unstressed, so it didn't take long for her to wander.
She was also the first in thousands of years to wander in the process of summoning the gods.
After a while, Anna shook her head and said to herself, "This long wait actually requires something important to pass the time. ”
She opened the backpack behind her back.
Two bottles of spirits appeared in front of you.
Fuxi famous wine, royal deer.
Anna looked at the two bottles of wine and smiled comfortably.
This is a century-old spirit treasured by the Fuxi royal family.
The most intense in the world, there is no one.
She also got her hands on it with great difficulty, and was told in public by Emperor Fuxi afterwards.
Anna snatched up a bottle of spirits, expertly uncorked it, and pulled out a beautiful angular glass from her backpack.
Pour the wine.
In an instant, the aroma of wine overflowed.
Anna unconsciously licked the corners of her mouth and took a small sip from the glass.
Kindness!
This wine tastes good!
Anna nodded in satisfaction.
Sure enough, I still have to bring some wine down, otherwise I will be bored to death if I have been waiting for five hours stupidly.
She took another big gulp.
Time seems to pass faster.
An hour later.
A bottle of wine is about to bottom.
Anna drank in high spirits, and her mind began to think crankily.
What is the price of this ghost ritual to awaken the god of death?
Forget it, leave it alone.
Anyway, others have sacrificed countless treasures and even lives, but no one succeeds.
I'm not going to give anything.
Her mind spun around and something else came to mind.
At this time, Valona should be about to ascend the throne.
For the family, this is a good thing.
Varona became the Queen of Fuxi, and she mastered all the ancient skills of the family.
It's something no one has ever done.
When you complete this ritual and go out to join Varona, you will be able to take revenge on the Pope.
Thinking of this, Anna was in a happy mood.
She poured the cup full, held it high, and shouted to the sleeping platform of the Grim Reaper, "A glass to you, the Grim Reaper who never appears." ”
With that, she tilted her neck and poured a whole glass of wine down.
The cup was a little violent, and Anna shook her head unconsciously.
Where did you think of it?
That's right, Gu Qingshan.
At this time, what is Gu Qingshan doing?
Anna looked at the light brain.
It was already midnight, and Gu Qingshan probably slept.
At this time, it is best not to disturb people's sleep.
Anna paused.
- No, it's been too long, I'll have to talk to him.
What is the reason to wake him up?
Anna looked to the platform where death had descended.
Well, for good reason.
She turned on the light brain and opened a video connection.
The opposite side was quickly connected.
Anna looked at the scene opposite and said in surprise: "In the middle of the night, you four are drinking?" ”
Liao Xing muttered in a small voice from the other side: "In the middle of the night, you are not drinking." ”
Anna ignored him and said a few words to Gu Qingshan about the Grim Reaper.
Next, Su Xueer suddenly appeared.
……
"What's the big deal!"
Anna closed her light brain and slammed the bottle.
"Do you think the old lady is afraid of you? When this ceremony is over, I'll kill it right away! ”
Anna exclaimed.
No, after the ceremony, you have to return to the Federation immediately.
I'm going to Gu Qingshan!
This night, Su Xueer will not stay in the mountain villa.
Anna thought about it, and even made up her mind, and as soon as the ceremony was over, she rushed to the Federation.
She didn't know that Su Xue'er had already traveled to the world of Kirishima after beating her.
Rite......
Anna looked at the light brain.
There are about three hours left.
Hell ritual!
Su Xue'er was with Gu Qingshan in the mountain villa, but she was sitting in this gloomy and terrifying place.
The more Anna thought about it, the more depressed she became.
She staggered to her feet and stepped forward to pick up the bottle.
The bottle of a 100-year-old spirit is also very strong, and it has not been broken.
The cork had been opened, not tightened, and some of it was leaking out.
Anna shook the bottle.
There was no sound in it.
Hey?
- I don't remember drinking it so fast.
Is it all streamer?
Forget it, no matter.
Anna put down the bottle and opened her backpack.
I still have a bottle of my own!
She sat down on the floor and uncorked the bottle.
This time she was so depressed that she didn't even use a glass and poured a sip into the bottle.
Not!
It's really fierce!
She had never drunk so much of this grade of liquor at once.
After a few more sips, Anna's face was flushed and her eyes were drunk.
Her head shook slightly.
- Time, how long has it been?
Anna turned on the light brain and looked at the time.
The time barely changed, and there were still nearly three hours left.
It's too long!
After knowing that Su Xueer was in the mountain villa, waiting became a worrying thing.
It's all this damn ritual, otherwise I would have gone to the Federation a long time ago.
Anna's anger grew stronger.
She stood up, staggered a few steps, stumbled under her feet, and suddenly fell to the ground.
The bottle in his hand was thrown far away, and he jumped on the ground a few times, no longer moving.
Anna twisted, rushed forward, and grabbed the bottle.
Fortunately, the cork was corked and not a drop of wine spilled.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, she felt something different in her palm.
She looked up.
A whole piece of hand skin was scraped, and blood soaked out.
This wound is not small.
However, Anna didn't feel much pain.
- She drank too much completely, and her sensation of pain was a little dull.
