Chapter 11: Blood Sacrifice
Old Tych had no children, no family, not even a past, and people only knew that he was once a hunter and good at crafts.
However, his identity as a hunter is only speculated based on his family's collection of deer heads, tiger skins, wolf claws, etc., as well as excellent bow-making, handmade knives and other techniques, and he himself has not directly responded.
Mr. and Mrs. Hayworms once hired old Tych as a consultant because they needed a lot of hunting knowledge to make a play, and after that, they went back and forth several times, and the two sides got along well.
Otherwise, Old Taiqi would not have made a bow in a high school, you must know that Old Taiqi's handicrafts have become well-known among the nobles and are worth a lot of money.
Saul's predecessor didn't like Old Tage because the things in Old Tage's home, or rather his small shop, were a bit oozing.
For example, on the wooden frame in front of Thor at this time, there are a row of twelve monkey heads, and you can clearly see all kinds of expressions on the monkey's face, such as joy, anger, sadness, eagerness, fear, etc.
The emotional expression is lifelike, because when it is made, the living monkey is stimulated by various methods, and the head is cut off at the moment when it reveals its emotions.
Another example is a pair of high heels that Old Tage is working on right now.
The structure of the shoe had been set up, and Old Tage wore gloves to hold the head of a python in place, let it hiss violently, and then peeled it directly from the neck.
The python skin under the wrap was passed through in a special medicine on the side, and the whole python skin was immediately wrapped into the high heels, and finally, the python head was used as the toe cap.
In a wooden barrel next to it, the flesh and blood of the python were piled up, and there was a fishy smell.
Thor endured the nausea, turned his head and searched for a long time, and finally found a "clean" wooden stool, dragged it over and stuffed it under his buttocks.
Then he asked with a look of disgust: "Who made this?" β
Old Taiqi had reading glasses hanging on the bridge of his nose, stretched his neck, and checked the snakeskin stitching process little by little, whether there were any cracks, and some dotted two drops of brown liquid.
Hearing Saul's words, he replied without raising his head: "Mrs. Trump." β
"Oh, the Trump family, who is said to have discovered gold in the north, is really a nouveau riche. Saul nodded, "No wonder the aesthetic is so morbid." β
Old Tage was noncommittal to Thor's words, bowed his head and said, "Hayworms child, you used to be afraid of me, but now you are not afraid? β
Thor smiled and said, "I'm here to thank you, I used the bow you made to defeat a master swordsman. β
Old Tage rolled his eyelids, glanced at Thor from behind the lenses, then returned his gaze to the python shoes in his hand, and whispered meaninglessly, "The children of the Hayworms family have grown up." β
Without waiting for Thor to respond, Old Tych continued, "Say, what do you need?"
Thor was silent for a moment, and a scene from Mayne Corida's memory came to mind.
In that fleeting memory, there was the figure of the old man in front of him, and if it weren't for Thor repeatedly calling up the books in the sea and looking through them, he wouldn't have found it.
Old Teitch didn't ask, kept his head down, and kept his hands on the job.
Halfway through, Thor slowly spoke: "I need the blood of three different beasts, fresh, not poultry!"
"There are also tiger bones, wolf claws, spider silk, eagle eyes, fish fins, frog tongues, scorpion tails, these seven materials. β
Old Tage paused, and looked at Thor earnestly, but there was no expression on his old face.
Then he put down his python heels, stood up, hunched over and walked to the cubicle at the back, and after more than ten minutes, he returned with a small wooden box.
"What you want. β
Old Tage placed the little wooden box in front of Thor, and said, "Take your things and go." β
Thor looked down at the box, three cold glass bottles, and seven things neatly arranged next to them.
"Thank you," Thor thanked earnestly.
As Thor was about to leave the door with the suitcase, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you know Mayne Corida?"
"I don't know. β
"Okay, goodbye then. β
Long after Thor was gone, Old Tych suddenly sighed.
......
In the southeast corner of the Hayworms home community, there is an abandoned garden house.
The male owner of the villa went to sea and did not return, the child died of a sudden illness, and the hostess accidentally fell down the stairs and died, which is a famous murderous house.
Thor snuck into the murderous mansion with his backpack on his shoulder, and then swooped into the basement of the villa and locked the door.
This kind of thing was often done with his friends when he was a child, and the basement of the villa was very closed, which was very suitable as a "secret base".
Even in Saul's memory, the predecessor was about seven or eight years old, and here he and a little Lori studied each other's bodies.
By this time, the basement had cleared out a clean place, and Thor took out the contents of his backpack one by one and put them on the ground.
Bandages, knives, alcohol lamps, glass jars, a wooden stick, a tube of Bart's potion, a small half of a wolf's head wood carving, and a pile of jerky bread and other food.
Then he took out the small wooden box given by Old Tych from a corner, opened the box and set it aside. He took out a wood carving from his bosom, which was a totem pole given by Ania Zulu.
When everything was ready, Thor lit the alcohol lamp and placed a glass jar beside him, the knife starting to churn over the flames.
After waiting for a while, Thor took a few deep breaths, shoved the stick into his mouth and bit it with his teeth, aimed his wrist at the glass jar on the ground, then raised the knife and slashed at his wrist.
"Woohoo"
Thor exclaimed in pain, a water stain on his forehead, and sweat rained down.
"Drip, Drip"
Crimson blood dripped down his wrist into the glass jar, and the soft sound of it struck Thor like a sledgehammer on Thor's heart, as if it were a death knell for Thor.
Soon his face began to turn pale and he was dizzy, and Thor hurriedly picked up a bandage and wrapped it around his wrist to stop the bleeding.
Then the action did not stop, and poured Bart's potion onto the ghost dead wood wolf head wood carving, and the smoke burst out.
Taking a deep breath, the smoke suddenly flowed down Saul's mouth and nose and poured into his body, his consciousness began to float, and his body seemed to be empty.
At the same time, the demon mark opened, seducing a trace of the ghost of the Dead River into the body, and a short section of "silk thread" in the body began to tremble, as if it was about to grow.
But this time it's not about marking magic circuits.
I saw Thor get up quickly, wipe a handful of blood from the glass jar with one hand, and begin to smear it on the ground, his mouth kept spitting out difficult and strange syllables.
The magic marks at the mouth of the heart, the same magic circuit as the thread, gradually vibrated with the strange syllables.
A faint trace of magic overflowed, along Thor's blood, seeping into the blood-colored lines on the ground.
Scarlet circles, strange spells, pale faces, abandoned basements, evil and terrifying.
With a sharp, high, aria-like closing incantation, the formation was completed.
This is a sacrificial magic array!
Tiger bones, wolf claws, spider silk, eagle eyes, fish fins, frog tongues, scorpion tails, seven kinds of materials sprinkled on the magic circle, scattered and fell.
He took out the totem pole given by Ania Zulu, sprinkled the totem pole layer by layer with three bottles of beast blood, and finally threw it into the center of the formation.
"Whew", Thor gasped, one last step.
Demon Sacrifice!
The frog ghost crawled out from Thor's back, struggling and roaring, jumping into the blood-colored pattern and clinging to the totem pole.
"Erenda!"
With a spell, the sacrificial magic circle activated.
The blood-colored lines are like blood snakes swimming all over the ground, devouring tiger bones, wolf claws, etc., and then swarming up the bloody totem poles.
"Quack", the screaming figure of the frog ghost struggled and flashed, the totem pole shone brightly, and the huge figure of a beast-headed human body loomed, looking up to the sky and screaming sadly.
After about a minute or two, Thor's face was bloodless, his lips were chapped, his body was clumped, and he was on the verge of collapse.
Finally, the totem pole was exhausted, the frog ghost disintegrated with a miserable howl, and the color of the formation was so strong that it turned black.
"The time has come!"
Thor shook his head vigorously to expel the drowsiness of his brain, then tremblingly took off his clothes and stepped into the sacrificial circle naked.
"Ahhh
The black and red "blood snake" climbed up along Thor's toes, gnawing at the flesh and burrowing into the flesh.
The taste of being devoured by ten thousand snakes almost instantly shattered Thor's sanity!
"Bang"
Thor slumped to his knees, howling, and slapping his hands on the ground like crazy, his palms blurred in the blink of an eye.
Soon, exhausted and confused, Thor fell to the ground weakly, convulsing.
At this time, in addition to the location of the demon mark on his chest and the secret place of his lower body, Thor's limbs and the dense "blood snake" that drove away the crawling were very terrifying.
Thor's consciousness floated in confusion, and he didn't get lost because of the lonely lamp that the demon mark turned into.
As if the years had passed, the fog gradually dissipated, and a little light became brighter and brighter, finally turning into a fiery red sun, emitting light and heat, attracting Thor's consciousness closer.
When you open your eyes, an alcohol lamp is close in front of you, and if you get a little closer, you will burn the skin on your face.
"Success? Try it. β
I only heard Thor squirm with chapped lips and said intermittently:
"Sacrificial MagicβTotem Wheel, Prayer, Amplification, Physique!"
