Chapter 585: Celestial Rite (3/3)
"Where is this? What the hell happened, Ian, why did you suddenly come to save me? ”
Xi'o apologized confusedly: "I'm sorry, although I roughly understand the process, I still feel a little ...... Suddenly. ”
- Feelings: After the dragon was caught, he was locked up here?
Ian blinked, he felt a little strange in his heart: "Strange, I thought it was Xi'o who was captured in the Avak laboratory, and after experiencing quite terrible torture, he recalled the long loneliness and torture in the past, and then when the Dead King rebelled, he caused many soul riots and caused the abyss of silence." ”
"But looking at this, not only was Theo not tortured, but he was even locked up as soon as he was caught, and he was in a coma from beginning to end, which has nothing to do with the collapse of the Avak Laboratory!"
"Could it be that it's really all the ghosts of the dead king?"
This puzzle made Ian feel that he might have guessed wrong from the beginning, but now was not the time to think about it.
He said to Theo, who was also a little confused, "Next, I will take off your soul storage and take it away...... Don't worry, I've read the manual, thanks to the information from Azure City Labs, your form can last for about a few weeks, as long as there is essenta to continue to feed and nourish, let alone a dragon. ”
"Uh-huh."
Theo's attention at this moment could also go beyond the Dragonbound Pillar, and when he saw Ian's current appearance, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "Wow, Ian, your new vest looks good, can I learn from it?" Or next time you teach me how to pinch out this mysterious and indifferent temperament? They always say that the person I pinch is always the same ......"
- Of course, even if you are given my looks, you will only play the role of a big cat or a big dog.
Ian complained in his heart, but he was very calm on the surface: "Let's talk about it next time, it's not just me who came over this time, but also Huaiguang's rescue team...... In addition to you, we have to rescue the elves and Lübeck...... Thankfully, it's not that hard. ”
It's not that hard.
The Huaiguang rescue team didn't hesitate for much time, they quickly followed Ian's steps to this place, and were equally surprised by the special nature of the Eight Pillars as much as Ian.
Now that Ian has used his authority to unlock the shackles on Theo's side, they will go and save the others.
And they had obviously prepared their own methods a long time ago - Hui Jian took out a sigil that emitted a light golden light from his arms, and he used it to press on the pillar that bound Lübeck, and the layers of inscription seals were actually violently cracked in this way, and they were directly given permission to pass.
The Universal Power Seal, a special psionic prop, is very rare, and Ian didn't expect to see one here.
And when Ian took out the core crystal pillar containing the soul of Xi'o from the Soul Binding Pillar, he saw a rather strange scene in Huaiguang.
It was a ritual.
A ceremony for the transformation of the Celestial Priesthood in Lübeck.
Sure enough, they wanted to crack the mystery of Huaiguang, but the secret was meaningless. As for Lübeck...... Fortunately, Bishop White Mist had expected it. He deserves to be our true brother. ”
Vaguely, Ian heard Huijian say to Ransom and Yingguang in a solemn tone: "Let's carry out the ceremony, Yingguang, let's go together." If Lübeck can survive and become a priest, then our chances of success this time will be a little more than a percent. ”
"Ransom Light, you don't have the blood of light, so you will lead the team to defend us."
"Hmm." Ransom didn't see this as a repulsion, and immediately called for the team to guard the Quartet—and the Milos man smiled happily at him after seeing Ian take Theo's soul from the Dragonbound Pillar.
Obviously, having one more Huaiguang priest is a very happy thing for her.
None of their interactions seemed strange to anyone on the rescue team, but Ian always sounded weird.
Could it be ...... Is the Huaiguang Priesthood a special profession that requires a ritual to be transferred?
This is not worth paying much attention to, after all, potions are essentially rituals, surgeries, and all sorts of modifications that are just foolish 'drink it'.
In this case, as an obviously very special 'official priest', the priesthood on the Spiritual Sect's side needs to increase the body transformation rate to a fairly high level, and it is really quite normal for Huaiguang to have some special needs.
But here's the problem...... Ian remembered Lübeck, who was listed separately.
Will the ritual of the light transform a person into a completely different existence?
"But the problem is that I don't see this description in Bishop White Mist and Huijian...... Or is this small difference on Terra nothing to mention for the silver chip? ”
- Don't say it, it's really possible. The evaluation angle of the silver chip is obviously very different from that of humans.
Whether it is edible or inedible, or the advice it gives, such as its attitude towards the 'endangered species' of the Aether Stardust Dragon, and its attitude towards the 'pests' of the Void Breeders, it is highly unattainable by the Terra civilization.
It's a description that even though all life is treated as equally as possible, it still reveals a slight tendency.
Ian stood there with a frown, curiosity in his heart that made him want to watch the ceremony.
But he also knew very well that if this kind of thing could not be seen by others, then out of respect for Huijian and the others, as well as the Bishop of Baiwu in his hometown, he would resist paying attention.
Fortunately, Terujian seems to know Ian's personality very well.
"If you want to be a bystander, just watch."
The White People Priesthood smiled at Ian, which made Ian slightly stunned, and he wanted to happily ask back, 'Really?' But thinking that he was now playing the role of a knight in the valley with a strange and alienated personality and an inexplicable preach, he held back this action.
"Hmm."
He stiffened his face and replied earnestly, "Thank you for your permission. ”
The ceremony began.
Radiant Sword and Reflection Light took Lübeck's body out of the restraint array, drew a circle on his chest, and then began to scratch blood marks with his knife on it without sparing, spreading like a spider web throughout his body.
For a moment, Ian didn't even understand whether they were trying to dismember Lübeck or what they were doing - but he soon saw that the seemingly torture-like pattern was essentially an inscription circuit that could work on living beings.
And that's not all...... Ian also saw that the process of the inscription loop had to be accurately engraved without the resistance of the recipient...... But if there is even a little instinctive reaction, it will not succeed.
- It is said that the Priesthood of Glory will only be chosen from among those who are seriously injured and are even one step away from death.
Ian felt like he might have found the real cause.
Then, Hui Jian's actions made him slightly stunned.
Because he took out a golden bloodletting knife from his bosom, made of glow dragon stone mixed with pure gold.
He aimed it directly at his heart, and a pure white liquid with a slight crystal clear feeling gushed out, and the dragon nun immediately took out a vial - with the help of her sublimation technique, the crystal liquid flowing from the heart of the sword was contained in it, and the wound of the sword quickly healed.
For the second-level sublimator, the injury to the heart is no longer considered a serious injury, and the source species can even control the blood interaction of the whole body if the heart is blown up...... But whether it is the decisiveness of the Hui Sword or the action of reflecting the light, it proves that this is an action that has been rehearsed many times.
This ritual is very important to the Huaiguang Church.
Hui Jian's face turned pale for a moment, but quickly recovered, and the reflection mixed the fluorescent white light with some elixirs, covering it evenly over the lines on the surface of Lübeck's body.
The fluorescent potion seeped into Lübeck's body, and then activated an organ in his body that had been prepared for a long time.
At this moment, Hui Jian, who was the presiding officer of the ceremony, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the direction of Lübeck, whose eyes were still closed tightly and his breath of life was extremely weak.
A white aura of spiritual energy flashed in his eyes: [This person is a person who dedicates himself and protects all beings]
In this moment.
Ian sensed it.
In the subspace, there was a burst of light.
As if it were the dawn of the morning, a faint white light lit up from the center of the ring on Lübeck's chest—and then it continued to flicker, flickering in the center of his chest.
The rescue team, who were guarding the surrounding area, also noticed this, and they smiled clearly, obviously knowing that the meaning of this light represented a kind of 'success'.
"Cheers to our new compatriots!"
The Milos raised her great sword in her hand, her voice was extremely loud, and everyone in the rescue team raised their weapons in their hands and laughed in response: "Protect with light!" ”
The light came from the far side of the Void, white lines swaying and fluttering in the subspace, swaying around the weapons raised by the rescue team, and finally forming a band of light that converged into the center of Lübeck's heart.
And Hui Jian's voice inexplicably became ethereal and grand, and the holy voice with a heavy response sounded again.
[Confirm.] This man is an indomitable man who fights against natural disasters.
[Confirm.] This person is the one who yearns for the light, but knows that he is not the one who wants to hope.
[We are the light of the light, not the light of the light - Lübeck, you have proven yourself, in order to protect more people, in order to prevent man-made disasters and natural disasters from coming, you are willing to give your life, even in the face of death, you have never regretted it, never feared]
The white psionic brilliance in Huijian's eyes was even more dazzling, and even his pupils couldn't see it—and at the same time, Lübeck, who had been dead and silent, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes also lit up with white psionic brilliance.
A strange resonance appeared in the two of them.
[Lübeck, our compatriots]
The executor of the Sanctuary of Huaiguang solemnly said: "You are a dead person, you are an undead body]
[Now, you are a member of Huaiguang]
