After cleaning his body in the stream, Aven, who deliberately changed into a loose linen robe, lost a bit of the fierceness of a knight and a little more of the mystery that belonged to a wizard's apprentice.

The so-called "ritual" is: through a specific ritual, the self is connected with a certain world rule, spiritual spirit, deity, and so on, and temporarily makes the self-consciousness retreat, and the spirit resonates with the super-level existence, and unleashes powerful abilities that transcend one's own limitations and even oneself does not possess!

And the "ceremony" for different purposes or directions also has different requirements for the host and the required supplies.

Rituals involving the gods should take into account the preferences of the corresponding gods, such as food, plants, essential oils, gold and silver utensils used for sacrifices, and so on. No matter how simple the conditions are, meticulous ritual clothing is indispensable for the righteous gods.

The ritual of communicating with the spirit world involves wearing a variety of spirituality-enhancing jewelry, such as crystals, precious stones, herbs, special amulets, and so on.

The ritual of trading with the monsters of the lower level requires that the host must be covered in filth or even perform some kind of blasphemy in order to be approved by the monsters.

The ritual that Evan is preparing now is a kind of biological modification, which requires being as close to nature as possible, so he removed the weapons, clothes and other man-made objects on his body, and only wore the most ordinary linen robes.

Walk over to the flat bluestone that has been cleaned.

As required by the ritual, Aven used six candles, essential oils, and special spices to construct a barrier wall around the entire bluestone floor to block physical interference from the outside world.

Whew-

The moment the barrier wall was formed, it was as if the mute button had been pressed on the enclosed area inside, and the sound of the wind, the murmuring of the stream in the distance, and the swaying of branches and leaves all disappeared.

"Build successful!"

Aivan, who practiced it for the first time, breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he stood at the end of the clearing with a sterling silver dagger in his hand, and the spirit of his own wizard erupted from the tip of the dagger, and he stepped out of the circular clearing in a ∞ shape.

When the end and the beginning coincide, the spiritual barrier slowly opened, and a breeze that only existed in spiritual perception blew through, sweeping away all the "filth" inside the barrier wall.

Although there is no change here in the naked eye, even an ordinary person standing here will feel that the air is instantly fresher.

The purpose of the spiritual barrier is not only to create a "clean" environment, but also to keep out the snooping of spiritual creatures and ensure that the ritual proceeds normally.

"First-time, perfect!"

These two barriers may seem magical, but they are only basic operations for wizards. Whether it's Leon's notes, the raven's parchment's parchment, or the occult knowledge from Tru, it's recorded.

And Evan borrowed from their respective strengths to form his own set of procedures.

The rituals in Galiot Bird Transformation 1.0 are divided into two parts by Aven.

The first step is to give more than 100 carefully selected seabirds the ability to solidify with an "extraordinary sense of direction".

Because many seabirds that can fly long distances are born with the ability to sense the magnetic field of the planet and determine the direction, it can be achieved with a simple induction, which is much simpler than giving humans this ability.

The second step is to biologically modify the "base station" to strengthen its brain, even if it is not to the level of humans, at least it must be able to withstand the mental connection of the seabirds and part of the burden of information processing.

Since this is only version 1.0 of "Garlotte Bird Transformation", Aven's requirements are not too high, as long as he can achieve the expected initial results, he is already very satisfied.

Rolling up his sleeves, Evan took out a brush dipped in the spiritual materials that had been prepared long ago and began to outline the formation spell form, the powerful body of the official knight gave him a precision and stability far beyond that of ordinary wizard apprentices and even wizards.

The "data-based vision" accurately distinguishes the size, proportion, and position of the procedure.

The combination of the two makes every line and mysterious symbol he draws like a printed matter, with a peculiar beauty like standardization.

Whew-

Time passed, and soon a red circle formed under Aven's hands. As the last stroke was completed, the entire circle lit up slightly.

Even if it wasn't activated for a while, a faint aura of sorcery began to circulate between each character, swallowing and exhaling as if it had life.

Catch time by the forelock.

Ai Wen stood on the control seat reserved on the periphery of the circle, holding an egg-sized blood essence stone in both hands, and obscure incantations came out of his mouth.

The incantation composed of "Kathaga" hovers over the formation with a primordial but vibrant rhythm.

As the presiding officer of the ceremony, Evan's mind suddenly rose to connect with a vast consciousness as soon as he uttered the first incantation.

The sound of birds, beasts, insects, waves, and plants and trees had both illusions and illusions, all of which swept through his heart.

The warmth and tolerance of his mother enveloped his body and mind, which was the pan-conscious "Spirit of Nature" and "Mother Earth" composed of all living beings on this planet, and the "Gaia" of the Earth, the will of the earth described in many literary works.

Although the connection was only a short moment, it brought Aven an unparalleled shock!

I don't dare to continue to think about it and gather my spirit.

“sta！”

As the last spirit text spat out of Aiwen's mouth, the bluestone ground under his feet shook slightly.

In the sound of rushing water, every character and line that made up the red circle gradually became blurred and illusory, and a blood-red mist seemed to diffuse from the depths of the void, getting thicker and thicker.

Call.. Call.. Call...

The red mist swirled toward the center of the original circle, and finally became almost substantial.

Even standing outside the formation, an uncomfortable smell of blood began to pour into Aiwen's mouth and nose, and it was difficult to remove it even if he held his breath.

It wasn't until a minute later that the vision in the circle disappeared completely, and only a blood-red eye with narrow pupils like a pointer floated silently in the center of the original circle.

The red eyes are half the size of an adult, slightly illusory, as if they are an illusion that does not exist in this world.

Looking at Ai Wen's hand again, the valuable blood essence stone had already evaporated and became part of the big red eyes.

"Did it work?"

Holding back the feeling of emptiness after the huge consumption of spirituality, Aven took a closer look. He didn't copy the witchcraft rituals of his predecessors, so he was also a little apprehensive at this time, wondering if his huge cost of improving the ritual could achieve the expected effect?

However, according to his design, at least for now, the ritual is normal, and theoretically even if it fails, there should be no serious harm to the seabirds.

No more hesitation.

Phew-

With a loud whistle from Aven, one of the most numerous white seagulls in the flock flew down from the outer branches, paced two steps on the ground, and walked across from Red Eyes, meeting them at Aven's behest.

One second, two seconds...
