Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped.

Among the members of this group of "Historical Research Society", there are Norman and Moran, two leaders who are full of thoughts about the pursuit of knowledge and the pursuit of historical truth, and it is natural that it is not clear what kind of people they will be.

Everyone rejoiced when they heard that they had the opportunity to see the invisible arts rituals of the Far East, and to see a completely different scenery than they had ever known before.

It was as if a powerful buff had been added to them, and they quickly arranged the ritual.

Then Miss Moran and Mr. Norman took the trouble to emphasize the points of attention in the ceremony.

"The sunset ritual is relatively safe among the rituals of various invisible arts. Miss Moran said, "The 'remnant sun' is the main heir to the 'scorching sun', it symbolizes a poignant ending, it is the god of lamp and winter, silent and bright. Because it is silent, it generally does not cause accidents during rituals, and because it is bright, it generally does not bring bad results. We just have to strictly follow the content of the ceremony...... At least as far as I know, I haven't heard of anyone having an accident during a sunset ritual unless it's one of those cultists who are out of their nerves. ”

Pan Long nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

In fact, he also had a good impression of this ceremony - as Mr. Norman said just now, the biggest advantage of this ceremony is that it is low cost. The only consumable is the "influence" that can be obtained through wandering.

Influence cards can't last long, and if they don't use them, can't they wait for them to transform into all kinds of bad things?

So when he first played this game, he also liked to cast spells through the sunset ritual.

He is also very familiar with this ritual!

A spell, a supporter, and an influence, all three of them have the required phase requirements to complete the spell.

Of course, this is the design of the game, and the game has become a reality, so it will naturally change.

Among other things, there are more hosts and guardians for the ceremony—something that is not available in the game.

Seeing the sun set, the time for the ceremony was almost up.

Miss Moran and Mr. Norman stood in two places in the ritual circle that symbolized "light" and "stone", Stone and Iroh stood in two places that symbolized "blood" and "flesh", Lady Violet stood in which place symbolized "remnant sun", and Leo stood in which place symbolized mortals. Pan Long stood outside the ritual circle, ready to answer at any time.

Si Chen, that is, the gods, has four different origins.

Heaven and earth open up and give birth to glow and void, and the projection of glow in the earthly world is the sun. And the god born from the glow is called the "god of light source".

In the long development and changes of the earthly world, the god that evolved into itself is called "Shiyuan God".

The god born of intelligent beings through sacrificial rituals is called "Blood Source God".

The god who ascended through the practice of mortals is called "Flesh Source God".

As for the Void Realm, it is a great taboo for earthly beings, and even the gods are very afraid of it. The Void is a world of death and nothingness, where all fallen Sichen are attributed, and there are gods in the world who originate from this, but their names themselves are taboo, and even the gods are often reluctant to mention them.

Of course, no madman is specifically involved in the ritual.

Moran, Norman, Stone, and Iello symbolize Sichen to witness the ceremony, and they are also the presiding officers and executors of the ceremony. Madame Violet is responsible for touching the remnant sun with sincere tears – as a dover of "hospice care", she has witnessed so many tragedies that if she were not strong-willed, she might have spent her days in tears.

With a little relaxation, she could easily burst into tears.

As for Leo, he doesn't actually have to do anything, just try to keep his mood calm and mentally stable......

With Miss Moran's voice of "Let's start," Mrs. Violet lowered her head, caught up in those sad memories.

Tears soon flowed from her eyes, down the wrinkles on her face, and she choked silently, tears streaming down her face for the tragedies she had ever seen, for her own powerlessness.

At the moment, the sun is setting over the edge of the horizon.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a second, maybe half a minute, but suddenly, Pan Long clearly felt that a majestic force appeared beside Madame Violet.

There was a little warmth in the power, and you could feel the kindness in it, but more often than not, it was sadness and silence. It's like a good person who has experienced too much pain and betrayal, and has become disappointed in the world.

The will of Si Chen's "remnant sun" has descended here at this moment!

The moment the will appeared, the tears on Madame Violet's face disappeared without a trace, as if someone had wiped away her tears, and even the sad color on her face disappeared, and turned into a faint blankness.

The remnant sun absorbed her tears and sorrow.

Then, there seemed to be a soft sigh from inside the circle.

The sigh turned into an invisible wind that blew towards Leo.

In the next moment, Leo's whole body seemed to crack. His body and soul became transparent, and everything seemed to be displayed in front of people.

Pan Long saw the sincere and pure spirit, and also saw the vigorous vitality.

Probably because of the freedom from the shackles of flesh and blood, the spirit grew rapidly, and the vitality burned like a flame.

If he goes on like this, maybe in a short time, he will burn himself out.

But just then, the wind stopped.

The cessation of the wind made Leo's flesh resurface, like a carapace, enveloping his spirit and vitality.

So he went back to his original state, but Pan Long could clearly feel that he had grown.

His spirit grew stronger, and his life force became stronger. Although he is still a mortal, he is completely different from what he was just now!

On the road to transcendence and immortality, he has taken a big step!

As the wind stopped, so did the will of the remnant sun.

At the same time, the setting sun had completely set over the horizon, and the night had covered the land, except for a few remnants of red light in the western sky.

Supposedly, this is the time for the ceremony to end. But at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred!

A black cloud of gas suddenly appeared.

It has structures that seem somewhat human-like - head, torso, and limbs. But the limbs are vague, maybe the five limbs, maybe more, or not at all. The only thing that can be determined is that in the position of the skull, three eyes can be seen.

The three flickered with a terrifying cold light, but there were cunning and gloomy eyes in them!

Pan Long frowned - whether it was what Miss Moran and Mr. Norman said just now, or his impression of the game, he didn't remember that the promotion process of the Invisible Technique cultivator would attract such a thing.

And Mr. Norman had already opened his eyes, and whispered, "On the border of the Manchu, in the corners of the furnace, where the fire of glow burns more primordial matter. There's a cunning steam there that can infest the dreams of your enemies. ”

With his chanting voice, the smoke vibrated as if it were bound by something.

Then Miss Moran's eyes were still closed, but her hands were in a strange position on her chest, as if a rune had appeared in front of her. The rune was so radiant that it was hard to look at.

The smoke vibrated violently, as if under attack, and was feeling pain.

Stone and Iroh had apparently never seen the fight, they were just silent - the practitioners of the Invisible Illusion knew that if you didn't know what to do, you might as well choose between escape and silence.

They will not abandon their companions and run away, then they can only be silent.

Madame Violet was still dazed, and Leo was still in high spirits and full of life, but in the midst of the circle, the struggle between Miss Moran, Mr. Norman, and the strange smoke gradually came to a fever pitch.

Mr. Norman's body trembled slightly, but he kept chanting poetry, which dissected and explained the origin of the smoke. He used knowledge as a shackle to bind this uninvited monster.

Miss Moran was sweating profusely, and her hands were already red, but she was still maintaining the runes, emitting a steady stream of scorching heat, scorching the monster and forcing it to tame.

It is said that if it is a two-pronged approach, then the demon should bow his head and surrender. But its body trembled, and what appeared in its eyes was not a sign of surrender, but a clear touch of madness!

Pan Long sighed.

In the next moment, his figure appeared in the circle and the like, and his left hand stretched out like a sharp claw, piercing the monster's torso.

The power of light bloomed in his hand, and in an instant, at least three-quarters of the smoke monster's torso was wiped out.

With such a heavy blow, the madness in the monster's eyes suddenly faded, and only extreme fear remained.

Even monsters will die.

But Pan Long didn't attack again, he withdrew his left hand and stared coldly at the monster.

The smoke vibrated and recondensed, turning into a complete monster again, but its form was less than half the size it had been before.

This time, it bowed its head, and its humility was evident.

Mr. Norman and Miss Moran breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, Miss Moran lowered her hands, and Mr. Norman took out a white crystal and whispered, "Hide the smoke with the crystal, and the spirit of steam that permeates the border, I command you to lodge here!

The smoke monster nodded, turning into a stream of water and pouring into the crystal. The white crystal was immediately dyed black and turned into pure black.

Mr. Norman took out another box with runes carved into it, put the black crystal containing the monster inside, and closed it securely.

After doing all this, he smiled.

"Alright, the ceremony is over. ”

With his words, Madame Violet and Leo, who were in the ritual circle with blank faces, both came to their senses. The seemingly unremarkable circle glowed with a faint white light, and then vanished without a trace.

"Miss Moran, are you alright?" said Stone, hurrying up to Miss Moran, and asked with concern.

He was so weak just now that he could only act as a spectator, and he clearly saw that Miss Moran had burned his hands because of the power of casting a spell to summon the power of radiance.

Miss Moran raised her hands. I saw two obvious red burns on her hands, and I don't know how long it will take to recover.

But her expression looked very relaxed: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary injury, and nothing will be left after recovery, and it won't affect my body." ”

"Won't it make a difference?" Pan Long asked, "What if he heals now?"

"Of course it's better. Miss Moran replied casually.

So as soon as Pan Long raised his hand, the light of the healing technique fell on her hand, and she saw that the bright red burns quickly faded, and the skin quickly returned to its normal color, looking no different from before.

Miss Moran snorted in surprise and touched the part of her hand that had been there, and sure enough, it didn't hurt at all, as if it wasn't hurt.

"Is this the invisible art of the East? it's amazing!" she couldn't help but say, "There is no need for rituals, no ointments, no sacrifices, not even spells......

Pan Long smiled and did not explain.

It's hard for him to say, "This is the spell of the brave in another world...... "another world" may be fine, but "brave" or something, in Eastern culture, there is no such thing!

Mr. Norman said with a smile: "Although there was a bit of an accident at the ceremony, it turned out well. Leo's promotion went well, and we were able to capture a 'Spirit of Steam' - this is a good summon, and generally speaking, to summon it, it takes a powerful cast effect. The Casting Effect is not easy to obtain, and it can only be obtained by talking to Gribi at the Stag Gate, holding his burning tears in the hand of his soul, and enduring the pain of being burned. ”

"Although the burn exists only in dreams, the pain of the soul is made more unbearable by the flesh. "I did it for the sake of the ritual, and it took me two weeks to recover from the unbearable heat. I don't want to experience that feeling again unless it's a last resort!"

Leo realized what had just happened, and couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the sunset ritual very safe?"

"Theoretically, so. "But this time, it may have been that we had too many people attending the ceremony, and we exuded too much spiritual power, which attracted the greedy spirit of steam...... In fact, even if the spirit of steam gets out of control just now, the risk is not great. This thing has limited attack power, and can only temporarily drive the victim into madness. That kind of madness can be cured, and it is good to cultivate for ten days and half a month at most. ”

"Is this considered safe?" Pan Long asked.

"Yes, everything that doesn't leave a sequelae is safe. Mr. Norman said as a matter of course.

Pan Long sighed, feeling that his views on "safety" seemed to be very different from those of the cultivators of the Invisible Arts.

But in any case, the results were good.

In addition to completing the promotion, he also captured a monster from the edge of the manga. Although this monster is simply weak and vulnerable in Pan Long's opinion, it ...... As the saying goes, there are no useless cards, only players who can't play cards, and if it is put in the hands of someone who knows how to do it, this monster should also be able to play a great role.

Probably so......
