"A ritual."

Cheng Lin said with a complicated expression.

"Ritual?"

Edlaide asked, his gaze down, his eyes reflecting the scroll.

Almost with a single glance, it could see the graphics inside, as well as many unfamiliar square words.

"Yes."

Cheng Lin nodded and explained, "A ...... A magic circle that can forcibly gather mana. ”

This is exactly one of the rewards he received at the end of the last deduction.

This is also known as the "Gathering of Spirits".

After returning from a trip to repair the magic capital, he finally gathered all the materials, but he didn't set them up for a long time.

When Aldington had died before, he had watched the dragon team absorb the escaped aura and become healthy again.

At that time, he faintly thought of this magic circle, and pondered it carefully in the subsequent "time acceleration" process, and found that this may really be a feasible way.

According to the "Spirit Gathering Ritual Scroll", when the ritual is opened, the aura within a radius of 100 miles can be forcibly extracted and condensed with the ritual as the center.

As long as the foundation of the ritual is not dispersed, the aura will be fixed in one place and linger.

That's why he worked so hard to get the materials together.

Once he has this magic circle, he can make a huge improvement in the "spirit world".

According to the description of the ritual, it may be able to lock the aura from being extracted by the end of the law.

Of course, Cheng Lin wasn't sure if the ritual could be done at all, but after all...... There is no other way to try, if it fails...... It doesn't matter.

According to the rules of deduction, even if he uses the material here, when the deduction is over, the material will return to its original position.

That is, he will not have anything to lose.

It is also equivalent to a rehearsal in advance to accumulate experience for the real-life opening ceremony.

And if it's a fluke...... You can use this to preserve your soul for a long time until you ...... The projection appears.

"Being discovered by human civilization in reality should also be regarded as satisfying Edlaide's wish."

Cheng Lin thought to himself.

He then relayed the contents of the scroll, and when he heard the effects of the ceremony, Edlaide's expression was visibly agitated.

With a flick of its eyes, the scroll unfolded silently.

The text on it has been translated by Cheng Lin, and the pattern does not need to be explained.

Edlaide quietly examined the scroll, motionless, like a sculpture.

Cheng Lin didn't bother, waited patiently for a while, and saw the scroll slowly close again.

Edlaide, the star dragon, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then opened his eyes again, and two ghostly fires burned in his eyes.

"Is it possible?" Cheng Lin asked.

“…… There is a great possibility, but this scale is not enough. Adelaide said excitedly.

"Scale?"

"Yes, in my opinion, this ritual is slightly less effective, but we can make some changes to it, just follow its internal logic...... Let me think about it, the effect of the 'spirit ore' you mentioned is similar to the basis of the formation diagram, and you only need to use an item that can store mana instead.

Gold doesn't need to be changed, the ink here is only a liquid that transmits magical power, but it won't work very well and can be replaced.

As for the main material, the corpse of what you call a five-rank creature.

If I'm not mistaken, it's a simplified way of doing this, and if you want the ritual to be most effective, it's better to use a living powerful life than a corpse.

This doesn't even damage the main material itself.

It's just that the requirements for its power are very high. ”

Edlaide's tone grew faster and faster, as if he had become a scholar.

He seemed to be explaining to Cheng Lin, but it was more like talking to himself, sorting out the model in his mind.

Cheng Lin opened his mouth on the side, unable to make any evaluation.

He didn't expect Edlaide to see the "principle" of this ritual at a glance and set out to modify it.

But on second thought, if it's Edlaide...... Then there's nothing surprising about that.

"So what? What are you going to do? He asked.

Edlaide's sluggish body became erect again, and the phosphorus armor on his body radiated a multicolored brilliance in the sunlight.

At this moment, it seems to have rediscovered the meaning of life:

"Modify, promote! Increase the power of this ritual by at least a hundredfold! Although it can absorb the magic power of a hundred miles range, this absorption is not complete! If it is enhanced by a hundred times, it will be able to loot enough mana to support our needs! ”

Its voice is full of determination!

A hundredfold!

It magnifies the ritual a hundredfold!

Cheng Lin's heart was turbulent, and he didn't know how to respond.

Edlaide's meaning is simple, although the original ritual coverage is large enough, it is not strong enough.

If the ritual is likened to a water pump, which can pump water from the range of a pond, which can only make the pond's waterline drop by half a meter, then after a hundredfold increase, the pond can be drained!

It is not the "area" that it wants to plunder, but the "volume" of the plunder!

"But...... I don't know how you want to change it, but it will inevitably require more material, but I don't have that much material in my hand. ”

Cheng Lin silently calculated in his heart.

Even if it is simply enlarged by multiples.

The original ritual required 300 pieces of spirit ore, but if you magnify it a hundred times, you will need 30,000 pieces!

What a huge resource? He couldn't provide it anyway.

Edlaide, however, smiled heartily when he heard this, and suddenly raised his colorful dragon claws, pointed to the mountain-like luggage that he had carried on the beach under the mountain peak, and which had been carried all the way by the dragon servants, and said:

"Materials? I don't need you to provide it, my dragon clan has accumulated it for ten thousand years, although I only brought a small part of it, but it is completely enough!

Spiritual ore is replaced with magical gems!

Ink? Mix sea water with my blood instead!

Gold? Grind all the goldsmiths into powder!

As for the main material! Use me instead!! ”

Its voice was like thunder, sweeping through the sky, with supreme majesty and confidence!

Cheng Lin was stunned to witness this scene, and suddenly his heart was surging!

Yes, he actually forgot the accumulation of ten thousand years of the dragon clan!

As legend has it, dragons love precious stones and gold, and when they migrated, countless dragon lords rolled up the treasures in their territory and handed them over to dragon servants to carry.

Now, the dragonlords are dead, but the gems and gold have arrived.

"Do you mean...... This is fate? ”

Cheng Lin muttered to himself.

Unlike previous deductions, this time, until now, the program has not given him any additional help.

It seemed that as the narrator he had heard at the beginning say, the dragon civilization was doomed.

Therefore, the program did not arrange a reversal, and even the hints were not given to themselves.

It wasn't until now, when he remembered this ritual, that he was stunned to find that the materials needed for the original ritual had already followed him, stumbling all the way to this place.

"Probably, this is what is called 'revelation'."

Cheng Lin thought in his heart.

Immediately, he saw Edlaide roar into the sky, gathering all the dragon servants and issuing orders.

Then, I saw that the dragon servants crowded on the beach opened the sealed packages one after another, and took out one gem after another and gold.

Edlaide chanted softly, spitting out a multicolored light that enveloped those golden vessels, and as a result, those gorgeous, precious vessels turned into dust, reminding Cheng Lin of the scene of Aldington's death.

After that, Edlaide began to give orders, and the dragon servants divided into several teams to spread the gems regularly throughout the island, connecting the various gem piles with gold dust.

It was a huge project, and it took three days to finally put it down.

If you look at it from above, you will see a perfectly mysterious figure of gold and precious stones appearing throughout the island, emitting a dazzling halo in the sunlight.

Edlaide also cut open wounds on his body during these three days, released blood, mixed it with seawater, and used his own body as a canvas to sketch a more mysterious and complex figure.

When the final stroke is completed, all preparations for the ceremony have been met.

On that sunny noon on the fourth day, Cheng Lin and Edlaide once again reached the top of the highest peak on the island.

……

"Are you ready?"

On top of the mountain.

Edlaide asked softly, sketching a complex drawing of dragon's blood.

Its eyes are bright, its emotions are excited, and it sweeps away the decadence.

Standing here, it is as if you have returned to the Dusk Dragon Hall standing on the peak of 10,000 meters.

Cheng Lin stood beside it with a complicated expression:

"I should ask you this, and are you really sure? According to you, using yourself as a material, when the magic power is extracted, your body will be under tremendous pressure, are you sure you can withstand it? ”

Edlaide smiled:

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry, I'm not Aldington, I'm not Alan, I wouldn't have made it here if I were to die, and besides, there is hope now, I want to build this island into a new dragon city, even if I am the only dragon left here."

Its words were loud and clear.

Cheng Lin didn't say much, just took a few steps back, opened up a safe distance, and then said, "So...... I'm ready. ”

"Let's get started!"

Edlaide slowly exhaled these four words, his expression became extremely solemn, and he raised his head and looked at the sky and the sun.

There was silence on the island, and there was not a sound.

Cheng Lin watched not far away.

At the foot of the mountain, countless dragon servants crowded together, looking at the dragon king on the top of the mountain in confusion and apprehension.

Immediately, a rainbow of light appeared on Edlaide's body, enveloping his body, and then he spat out a strange string of syllables as required by the scroll.

So, it's as if some "switch" has been turned on.

Cheng Lin vaguely seemed to hear a "pop", and in an instant, the colorful light suddenly dispersed, spreading across the huge island, lighting up the tens of thousands of gems and crystals that had been arranged.

The lines of gold dust burned into golden flames that rose a hundred meters high.

Those gems and crystals burst out into pillars of multicolored light that soared into the sky.

It's like countless swords pointing to the sky!

All of a sudden.

The ceremony begins!
