Chapter 43: Preparation (Part 1)
Back in their camp, the people of the Wolf tribe were not in the mood to celebrate the victory, and everyone was worried about tomorrow's trial.
What is about to happen to Red makes it impossible for these people who love him, worship him, and care about him to calm down, and this trial is almost a certain death.
Elder Brown and Green finally persuaded Red, but Red was very firm, he had no remorse, he was very serious about the aftermath with Green, and if he couldn't come back, he hoped that Green could help take care of Mary and the two children.
Everyone also knew about Red's character, so they no longer persuaded him, but silently prayed for him to be blessed by the god of the forest.
The Witch Doctor calls Red into his room and forbids anyone else to come with him, and she wants to bless Red with a positive spell.
Once inside the room, the Witch Doctor began to lay out the materials needed for the spell and drew a circle on the ground.
Red wanted to stop her, he felt that if he was really destined to disappear, it didn't matter if he didn't have the buff of this spell, but would increase the burden on the witch doctor.
He had already heard that casting this spell would deplete the life force of the Witch Doctor, affecting his lifespan.
But the witch doctor did not listen to him and insisted on casting a spell for him.
She said that it was a last wish from the previous generation of witch doctors, and that she felt that her spells were not perfectly used and that they might not have helped Patriarch Black.
She thinks that her apprentice is more talented than her, with more mana than her, and may be able to cast the perfect buff spell to help the next patriarch.
Because all the patriarchs who go to the trial must be selfless and love the tribe, and such people deserve the full help of the witch doctor.
Therefore, the current witch doctor is willing to hold this buff spell hostage for Red at the cost of his own lifespan, and try to help him pass the trial and return safely.
Soon, the circle was drawn, it was a five-pointed star pattern, and the witch doctor asked Red to sit on the center dot of the five-pointed star circle, take off his leather armor, close his eyes, and silently pray for the favor of the god of the forest.
Red was still a little embarrassed, and the leather armor was taken off, and all he had left was a pair of leather shorts.
The witch doctor took out a piece of parchment, densely filled with text, and several illustrations of how to draw the circle.
The Witch Doctor read it carefully again, and then began to come out of his mouth, and Red listened attentively, but he didn't understand at all, the Witch Doctor was not reciting spells in the language they usually spoke, but in another language.
This language gives people the feeling of ancient vicissitudes, as if they came from a distant ancient time and space, and it is very jerky, and it is difficult for a witch doctor to recite a large number of spells.
The witch doctor recited a harsh incantation as he circled around Red, occasionally smearing him with the paint he used to depict the war paint.
Rhett regained his mind and began to silently pray that the god of the forest would take care of him and protect him.
Gradually, he entered an ethereal realm, he could feel the slightest strands of things concentrating inside him, and he could feel that his sense of smell and hearing seemed to be strengthened.
He could smell Grimm's breath outside the room, which he was most familiar with, and he could hear Grimm asking the elders if this blessed buff spell was reliable.
His strength was growing, and his mind was much clearer, and he knew that this was the positive spell that the Witch Doctor was putting on him, and it was already seeing results.
After a long time, the good feeling of growing strength gradually faded, and Red opened his eyes to find that the witch doctor had stopped casting spells, and was standing there gasping for breath, seemingly exerting a lot of energy.
Looking down, his upper body was covered with special symbols and words, and it seemed to have penetrated into his skin, like a tattoo.
The witch doctor seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Red open his eyes, "Rhett, how do you feel? ”
Red stood up and moved his fists and kicks, clearly feeling a huge increase in strength, maybe he could now fight strong men like Bell and Bull with his bare hands.
"It feels good, strength, hearing, sight, physical dexterity, and mind, I think it's improved, thank you, Witch Doctor!" Red bowed respectfully to the Witch Doctor.
The witch doctor nodded, "It's good that the effect is significant, this is already the best effect of this buff spell, don't worry about me, I'm much younger than the teacher back then, and my mana is stronger than her, so the life I lost is not much, it's just a few years." ”
Red sighed, sure enough, she is a witch doctor, she has lost a few years of life, and she can still see it like this, it seems that it is very wise for her son to worship her as a teacher.
Red pleaded with the witch doctor to help Mary and take care of the Blue siblings after he returned, so that he would be relieved and have no worries.
Of course, the witch doctor agreed, and comforted him not to be so pessimistic, maybe he could come back smoothly!
When Red walked out of the witch doctor's room, he saw that everyone was gathered here, no one was leaving, and they were all waiting for him.
Red told them that the witch doctor's spells were perfect, and that he had the blessings of the witch doctors, and that he would definitely succeed immediately, so that everyone should not worry, and asked them not to disturb the witch doctor's rest, and that it was very tiring to cast spells.
Hearing that it was successful, the big guys were relieved and began to light a bonfire in the camp.
Red once again demonstrated his barbecue skills, roasting the boar that Grimm and the others had brought in with the enticing aroma, and even the witch doctor was attracted by the smell and ate a large piece of meat.
Elder Thor generously took out the wine he had brought and distributed it to everyone, and the two brothers Red and Brothers Grimm chatted until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep.
At noon the next day, the witch doctors of all nineteen tribes gathered together and led Red to the altar in the forest, where the teleportation array that activated the trial was hidden.
They only allowed Green to follow them alone, and the others could only wait in place for news.
There were no roads in the forest, but all the witch doctors walked as fast as they were.
After walking for most of the day, they finally walked outside the altar, and everyone rushed in, looking for and discussing how to open the teleportation circle.
Eventually, all the witch doctors gathered together and began to open the teleportation circle for Red, who had already been unable to hold back for a long time.
In the depths of the altar of the god of the forest, there is a place surrounded by eight stone pillars, which, according to the old witch doctor present, is the teleportation circle to the land of trials.
These eight stone pillars contain strange spatial powers, and strange runes are also carved on the pillars and on the ground, and the witch doctors only need to inject their mana into these eight stone pillars with all their power to activate this teleportation circle.
Red put on his helmet, strapped his meteorite knife, and entered the center of the teleportation circle with an oak stone spear in his hand, waiting for the witch doctors to open the teleportation circle.
Red leaves his leather armor behind, and he asks Green to give it to Mary to convince them that he will return.
