Chapter 366: A Tailor-Made Ritual
700
S'ea sat alone in the depths of the darkened castle.
Suddenly, the door behind Him was slammed open, and the light came in, illuminating the blood-stained masonry in the crevices at His feet.
"Siea, the days when you held a sequence and did nothing were coming to an end."
Richard strode in and stretched out his hand:
"Give me the extraordinary properties of the 'Divine Sin'."
Snea snorted, slowly rose from the stone chair, and turned, the seat fading away as if weathered. He squinted at Richard, saw Tolzner, and looked at Barranca, who looked like he had been forcibly kidnapped, and the corners of his mouth rose very modestly:
"If you want it, you'll have to get it yourself."
Richard smiled and said nothing, as if he was in a state of moderation: "You know, I've been longing to be Sequence One for a long time. β
The bound god began to look at the walls and ceiling around him, and there was a faint religious mural depicted in gold dust on it, and he chose Renette Tinicol as his dependent, and then helped the child's father build the Highland kingdom step by step.
It's as if it happened yesterday, but it's all wrong.
"How long have you been longing to be strong?" Siea asked.
Richard shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that since I became an extraordinary, I have been thinking of ways to become stronger in my memory. β
"Are they calling for something?" Barranca couldn't help but whisper.
The bound god shrugged.
β¦β¦
"Someone is targeting the nobles who want to escape......"
Above the gray mist, Klein listened to Miss Justice's prayer and fell into thought.
He couldn't be sure who the Psychic Alchemy Society, or who was hiding behind them, if it wasn't Adam, if it wasn't Adam, whether the current high-level of the Psycho Alchemy Society was the mysterious old Mr. Hermes.
"It doesn't feel like ...... Russell said in his diary that although the Dusk Hermit Society will promote some historical changes, it will not care about these small things, and most of the time it will be idle. β
Klein pondered: "Asking this question proves that the people behind it care more about things related to the nobility, maybe they care about their status and status, or they may be the fields and property in their hands, in short, it doesn't seem like the people of the Dusk Hermit Society ask, and it doesn't even look like the things that the angel level should think about...... But why do demigods care about this, could it be that there is a big man in the military within the Psychological Alchemy Society? β
Klein remembers that when he pretended to be Admiral Emilius, one of the members appeared in his dreams and wanted to leave a mental hint. After being recognized by him, his tone was still very arrogant and condescending.
The other party is probably a demigod, and not necessarily stronger than Emilius, but these people who claim to be the trendsetter of history always have a unique arrogance, just like Klein, who pretends to be a "fool" and a "god of the sea". In short, they certainly don't bother to ask about this kind of thing.
But if you change the position to the military, the royal family, George III, then the answer seems to become clear.
Last year, the "Hanged Man" asked Miss "Justice" a similar question, and her answer was that the king and the prime minister had a tendency to war, but chose to do a good job of internal change first and straighten out all aspects of the relationship.
Now, almost a year later, the policies introduced at that time are basically on the right track.
Coupled with the fact that gods are constantly dying and being promoted, the process of this era seems to have reached the cusp.
This is a time of change, with fierce internal contradictions and factions among the gods. Once a war has begun, it is likely to be uncontrollable...... Moreover, powerful and ancient angels such as Zarathu and Amon have gradually appeared, and they have begun to make up for their characteristics, seeking the source fort and promotion, and the mysterious world is more stormy than the real world, and the crisis is hidden...... Crane sighed and returned to the real world.
A dreamless night.
The next day, he had just finished his breakfast, put down his utensils, and was about to go to St. Samuel's Church to pray according to his schedule for the day, when he suddenly saw a shadow in a corner of the dining room flickering strangely.
Klein understood, smiled and said to Walter, the butler:
"It occurred to me that I had something to do and might have to go to church in a while."
Walter did not doubt him, and nodded: "Yes, wait at any time." β
Dawn DantΓ¨s took off his napkin and got up, and asked, "Has Richardson returned to Rose Estate?" He's very diligent. β
Walter bowed slightly: "Yes, Richardson has done a good job in Rose Manor, he has already given gifts to the neighbors around him on your behalf, and now he is purchasing food, you can invite guests to visit the manor at any time." β
"I'll think about it." Dantes smiled and left the restaurant with his personal puppet.
He returned to the living room, closed the door, checked his surroundings and made a "safe" gesture, and after a few heartbeats, the surroundings seemed to darken a little, and the viscous shadows converged towards the chair in the corner, on which a human figure grew.
"His Highness the Red Angel has given me an oracle."
Skipping politeness and greetings, as soon as the Dark Sage appeared, he said straight to the point: "Your Sequence 3 already has eyebrows. β
So fast! Sure enough, after the current Creator Church annexed the Esoteric Order, it is equivalent to becoming the organization that knows the "soothsayers" best, and I am afraid that there are ready-made potions...... Crane was faintly happy, and couldn't help asking, "Praise the Lord, praise the red angel." How's it going? β
"There are ready-made seals corresponding to Sequence 3."
Seeing that the smile on Klein's face had disappeared somewhat, the Dark Sage added, "If you are willing to accept it, His Highness the Red Angel will personally help you shatter the seal, remove the characteristics, and assist you in completing your promotion ceremony." β
"Doesn't the Esoteric Order have a potion formula?" Klein asked.
The Dark Sage shook his head: "According to the demigods of the Esoteric Order, the original demigod potion was directly given by the leader Zarathu, and they can only know all the recipes if they become angels. However, after Zarathu went crazy more than a hundred years ago, he devoured the angels of the Esoteric Order, and killed many members of the Esoteric Order with the Fusion, and contained a lot of seals, which means that no one knows the recipe for Sequence 3 now. β
Extraordinary trait promotion is not as good as potions...... The Red Angel definitely has the ability to erase the spiritual imprint inside, and I need this trait as well, and the promotion ceremony also takes time to prepare...... Klein was hesitant, he wanted to make a decision as soon as possible, so he forced himself to weigh the pros and cons.
After a while, he asked, "Does the supporting material have an impact on the success of the promotion?" β
"There are some implications." The Dark Sage replied, "The auxiliary materials are neutralizers, palliatives to help you better control your potions. If it is missing, there will definitely be some impact, but it still depends on the completion of the ceremony. β
That's the truth. Klein then asked, "So what are the ritual requirements?" β
"The ritual has indeed told me." The Dark Sage said as he took a note from his palm and handed it over.
Klein hesitated, and for a moment he wanted the secret puppet to come and get it, but finally reached out and slowly pinched the piece of paper with two fingers to minimize the contact area.
Fortunately, the storage method of the secret prayer person seems to be unique, the paper seems to be just an ordinary piece of paper, there is no color that should not be there and touch that should not be, he breathed a sigh of relief, his psychological pressure suddenly decreased, and slowly unfolded it with indescribable anticipation.
Sequence 3, Ancient Scholars:
"Promotion Ceremony: Completely detached from reality for at least three hundred years, taking potions after being a thing of the past and not belonging to the current era."
This...... Crane couldn't help but blink, suspecting that he had misread the description.
The description of not belonging to the current era made him directly associate one of his honorific names:
"A fool who does not belong to this era!"
I've been hanging from that strange gate of light for more than three hundred years...... In a sense, have I already completed the ritual and waited for the last potion?!
Not only did I finish the ceremony a long time ago, but I also completed it super, over-completed, and it was a full five epochs, and the specific time is impossible to verify! Even if each era is only more than a thousand years, that is five or six thousand years, which is enough to complete the promotion ceremony for twenty "sophists"!
I'm afraid this level of completion can be comparable to my role as Amon on the Source Castle, and even scare the primordial witch in an instant!
Klein didn't feel joy at all at this time, and all the anticipation and trepidation just now disappeared, leaving only a bottomless silence.
His eyes were fixed on this line of words, as if he had seen the price behind this "gift".
Every soul who has landed from the "Source Fort" has naturally completed this ritual, as long as the "soothsayer" is selected, as long as he can become a demigod, he can directly become an "ancient scholar", this is almost a tailor-made ritual!
And the faster and easier it is to be promoted, the faster it will contain the divinity, and the faster it will become Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun......
This is the handwriting of that "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun"!
Whew, the step of becoming an angel, I really want to jump to the adjacent path and not follow the planned path...... For the other "sophists", the biggest difficulty in this promotion ceremony should be how to live for three hundred years, after all, this is not a way to become famous for their long lives...... Also, it is really easy to go crazy after 300 years of detachment from reality, and for the "sophist" who is already at the forefront of personality splitting, the danger of madness getting out of control is not too small...... Klein looked at the "Ancient Scholar" potion recipe, and the thoughts in his mind were full of thoughts, and it was difficult to contain.
Zarathu had done this ritual, he was a noble descendant of the Quaternary Age, long since he was history, as long as he lived for three hundred years.
In this way, Amon the "blasphemer" has already completed this ritual...... so has Mr. "Gate...... The three paths are worthy of adjacency, and they all seem to have something in common? Perhaps, I also quietly completed some of the rituals of "thief" and "apprentice".
If I could, I would like to wait a hundred years until I have fully adapted to the divinity before completing this ritual! But George III won't wait for me for a hundred years...... Crane slowly folded the note back, and the joy in his heart was gone.
The Dark Sage looked at his expression changing as quickly as a marquee, and thought that Mr. X was frightened by this ritual requirement, after all, three hundred years away, and making himself history, it was a ritual that he couldn't even think of a solution to the law.
"Sorry, this might be bad news. Judging by the ceremony, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to be promoted in a short period of time. β
The Dark Sage comforted him: "But His Highness the Red Angel may also have a way, it is said that there is also a seal that can 'steal time', or transfer your identity to a certain historical figure, if there is a high order to help, maybe it can reduce the time requirement." β
And this method? What is the power of this pathway?
Crane was slightly curious, and then the figure of Amon appeared in front of him, the guy who had transferred the spirit thread of the animals and insects in his garden to the male and female servants in the house. It sounds like passing on the identity of a historical figure should be a higher-level application of this ability...... Accurately transfer my identity to someone else, and then use the other person's identity as a medium to complete the ritual?
Nine times out of ten, it's the power of the "thief".
It's a trick, but it's best not to cheat on promotions.
Crane pondered for a moment, put away the piece of paper, and said to the Dark Sage, "I have the qualifications to complete the ritual, and I don't need to trouble His Highness the Red Angel. β
Two seconds later, the Dark Sage gasped and reappeared as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Other than that, I have something to ask you for." Crane didn't look at the stunned, shocked, and reverent look on the other party's face, and said bluntly, "When I am promoted to Sequence 3, I must leave Beckland because there may be some danger. β
If Zarathu was here, he must have been brought together by the Extraordinary of the Source Castle, and if he was promoted to Sequence 3 in Beckland, he might have attracted Amon by the way.
The difference in strength is too great, and the two of them will definitely not fight each other, but will attack me at the same time!
The Dark Sage recovered, and the horror of the Divine Favor was silently in his heart:
"His Royal Highness the Red Angel also mentioned to me that there is a hostile 'soothsayer' path Angel who may be in Beckland, and he wants you to make a trip to Intis and complete the ritual there to become Sequence 3, and he happens to be looking for you as well."
It's really well arranged for me! However, the Red Angel has something to do with me?
Klein frowned slightly, nodded and said, "I know, I will reply to you within today, please go back first." β
"Okay." The Dark Sage replied, "I will bring your words with me too." β
β¦β¦
"That kid has the ability to complete the ritual on his own?"
Medici raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, and thought, "Not the same as I guessed?" Not that imp, but another person? But when will the Aurora be joined by a veteran soothsayer demigod who is hundreds of years old, but still 'Mr. X'? β
"It won't be a Quaternary remnant anyway...... Could it be that the Lord fished out a young man from the Eastern Continent? It was as if he had gone back. β
"Oh, it's possible. If it is a person from the Eastern Continent, it is indeed possible to launch the ceremony directly. β
After thinking about it, Medici raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him, and waved his hand casually:
"Alright, let's go, take out the seal."
Medici waved his hand and sent away the tantric demigods who were trembling waiting to be released, and the Sequence 3 Sage breathed a sigh of relief, and left the Red Angel's office for a few seconds, excited that he didn't have to become someone else's promotion material.
The friendly interaction of the hunters who were still in the hospital bed was heard in the psychic link, and Medici stood up and walked out.
"Is there a count of the number of people affected by the disaster now?"
He grabbed a passing man, a gray-haired priest with a young girl beside him. Taken aback, he immediately bowed three times to Medici and praised the Lord:
"Honorable Red Angel Your Highness! The number of people affected by the disaster is still being counted, and it will probably be within this week that a more accurate figure will be available. β
Medici then asked, "When you prayed, did the Lord not answer you at all?" β
The priest hesitated for a few seconds, and the young female demigod behind him nodded silently: "Yes, Your Highness, but our ritual magic is still working, and the Lord's spirit is still giving us feedback, but he has not responded to our call for help......"
"Stop! Irena, are you blaming the Lord? β
The priest immediately turned around and whispered a rebuke to his student, then turned his head to Medici and apologized sincerely: "Sorry, Your Highness, she is still young, strong in faith and pious, she did not mean to say such a thing in front of you, I beg your pardon for her......"
As she spoke, Irena lowered her head and said softly, "Yes, I should repent." β
Medici didn't care about this little episode, and he didn't think anything about the young demigod who had just experienced the aftermath of the war, and he gestured for them to leave.
The officiant thanked the student for leaving, and Medici stood in front of his office and began to ponder a profound question:
"Who's that answering me all the time?"
TBC

In the last chapter, I was talking about recruiting a "Dark Sage" and "Secret Sage" titles, why are you basically thinking about honoring names! (Despair)
Then let's even collect the honorific name together, everyone come on, maybe it will be used soon.
