Chapter 55: The Ritual
Since Zhang Ye was originally a foreigner and his bloodline was not pure, there were no members of the Ominous Eye clan who participated in the ceremony against him, only Zhang Ye, Anlucis, and Natia, and as for Lorenzo, he was probably the most reluctant to participate in the whole clan.
The preparation for the ceremony was actually very simple, and Annlucis did everything he needed to do, such as placing various offerings on the altar and lighting gray-white fires in the four corners of the altar, in addition to these, he just waited in front of the altar with a ritual dagger in his hand.
Wait for Zhang Ye to climb the marble pillar without any external force like a real assassin, and find a way to use the utensils on the top of the marble pillar to light the four braziers on each side of the temple, and then Zhang Ye only needs to return to the altar and pray respectfully and swear to abide by the clan rules.
At first, Zhang Ye was still a little complaining about the process of the ceremony, but after hearing that it was still simplified, he stopped complaining and concentrated on observing the marble columns.
No matter how Zhang Ye observed, the smooth surface of the marble pillar did not have any protrusions that could be stepped on, but after undergoing Patu's "training", these actually did not pose much trouble to Zhang Ye.
Under the gaze of Anlucis and Natia, he leapt suddenly in place with an absolutely explosive speed and power! Then came the breath-free, explosive climb, which took only one time to reach the top of the marble column.
It was only at this time that Zhang Ye discovered that all the marble columns, including those under his feet, did not actually play a supporting role, and the entire temple did not need beams and load-bearing walls at all, and it was so solid and magnificent in the world of the Ominous Eye clan!
However, what was even more surprising was Ann Lucis and Natia, they more or less thought that Zhang Ye would rely too much on his own abilities like other people with supernatural powers, but obviously Zhang Ye was not, he was even faster and more skilled than ordinary people!
Coupled with Zhang Ye's eighteen or nineteen-year-old appearance, Anlucis's belief that if Zhang Ye was found and cultivated by him when he was a child, Natia and Lorenzo would be completely left behind by him.
Thinking of this, Anlusis could only sigh and continue to admire the tossing and turning of Zhang Ye between the marble columns.
In the final analysis, it is still the examination room of the Ominous Eye family, so Zhang Ye still encountered some trouble in the process, except for the ignition tool to ponder before it can be used, some marble pillars will randomly appear obstacles, such as counterclockwise or clockwise rotation without time regularity, and abrupt and rapid up and down movement, etc.
In general, after Zhang Ye successfully lit the last brazier, he knew that this kind of test was not all a test of skills, but more of a test of the ability to adapt on the spot, reaction speed and observation, etc., that is, no matter how good the technique is, it is still difficult for a person to pass if he only memorizes textbooks.
But fortunately, Zhang Ye had no danger all the way, and finally held the hand of Anlusis with both hands in front of the altar, held the ritual dagger with him and began to pray one after another, and finally Zhang Ye also swore that he would abide by the clan rules.
Anlucis also kept his promise, and removed several clan rules such as the need to obey orders in the clan rules that Zhang Ye swore to follow.
After all the steps were completed, Natia handed Zhang Ye the same set of thorn customers as them, and Zhang Ye took it and nodded to Natia.
"Now that you're a member of the Ominous Eye, I can tell you about our mission." Anlucis walked over to Zhang Ye and said.
Zhang Ye didn't ask anything, but waited for Anlucis's eloquent story.
Anlusis didn't sell his son or anything else, he walked to the altar and after Natia emptied it, he waved his hand at the altar and said, "The Ominous Eye originated three centuries ago and was created by Pharaoh Tutankhamen. ”
As Anlucis's words fell, the flat surface of the altar rippled like water thrown into stones, and the appearance of Pharaoh Tutankhamun appeared on it, looking no more than 16 years old.
"Although he was only a child, he was extremely clever and realized his own crisis, and he knew that not everyone was loyal to him or recognized his identity, so he used the only manpower and resources he had to secretly create the Ominous Eye, a name he also gave based on the circumstances of the time."
With Anlucis's words, the scene on the altar changed to a group of thirty people kneeling on one knee against Tutankhamen, dressed in the same kind of stabbing service that Zhang Ye had received.
"At that time, everyone looked at him with an ominous light, and he wanted them to feel the same way, and to make all those in power think only of the country, so there was an ominous eye." As he spoke, Anlusis injected power into the altar, so that the altar began to show some pictures of the assassination process, and Zhang Ye and Natia on the side watched intently.
"From the very beginning, one of our missions has been to keep an eye on all those in power, including the Pharaohs, who have been active for centuries to hunt down those who have a filthy heart, whether they are highly respected priests or high up in the Pharaohs."
As soon as Anlucis's voice fell, the altar showed the scene of the Pharaoh being assassinated.
"But that's only one of our missions, we also want to make sure that the Ominous Eye is never in the possession of anyone alone, and that the Assassins can't break any of the clan rules, and if they are discovered, that person or group must be annihilated in the shortest possible time, or we will be cursed for generations."
At the end of Anlucis's words, the scene on the altar changed to several figures fleeing frantically, followed by the Assassins who were hurrying in the shadows.
"You want me to deal with them?" Zhang Ye asked.
"They want to tell the Anubis Temple all the secrets of the ominous eye, but for some reason, we can only track them down, but we can't hurt them, and you need to find out what kind of skills they used to escape, and place their heads on this altar." With that, the scene on the altar vanished and returned to its previous appearance.
Zhang Ye replied when he heard this: "Tell me all the information, all the information." ”
Anlucis's hearing this was a little hesitant, but he nodded and said, "Natia, you take him there." ”
Natia nodded and made a gesture of please.
Zhang Ye followed Natia out of the temple, but Anlusis suddenly sighed.
"I just hope he's strong enough, and I just hope that my decision doesn't bring disaster ......" (To be continued.) )
