Chapter Ninety-Six: The Ritual of Summoning the Spirit
“…… Time is limited, so let's continue the meeting for now. ”
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, Mu You had no choice but to change the topic and forcibly bring the meeting back on track.
After the shooter's deal is completed, it is the turn of the last two, Capricorn and Aquarius.
It's a pity that neither of them has a proper card deal.
Capricorn was because he was only thinking about accompanying Libra to go through the motions in this scene, and he didn't bring any cards that he could get his hands on.
The water bottle is because he was doing his best last week, and there is no empty card at all.
Fortunately, her mission was successfully completed!
"Thanks to your rejuvenation, you helped me get through the crisis at a critical moment, and I successfully completed the mission. This is the red dragon's blood that was promised! ”
The water bottle said, carefully placing a bottle on the pattern in front of him.
Mu You accepted it here and picked it up and took a look.
There was only a drop of crimson blood at the bottom of the bottle, but it seemed to have an extremely viscous property, and it almost solidified into a bead in the bottle, and no matter how he shook it, it would not stick to it.
Until the red dragon blood really arrived, Mu You finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now his deal today can be considered a complete merit, although only two cards were sold, but three new utility cards were recovered, the Light of Veto, the Dark Teleportation and the summoning of zombies, plus the all-important Red Dragon's Blood.
Later, Mu You witnessed the lion and the twins exchanging high-level cards, and now all the transactions present were completed, and then it became time for small talk.
However, this time Mu You listened for a while and was not interested, after having the forum, he had a lot more ways to obtain information, and now everyone is chatting about nothing too special.
After a few moments, the meeting time arrived.
Once again, there was a black fog in the palace.
"See you next week, then, guys!" Mu You looked at everyone. Twelve people, counting the Taurus who did not come, have gathered eleven people. I don't know if the next game will be the first time that all the people will gather......
"See you next week!"
"See you next week!"
……
Everyone also took their leave one after another and disappeared one after another.
A few seconds later, the light and shadow in front of Mu You's eyes changed, and he also returned to his house.
I glanced at the clock, and it was exactly one o'clock in the morning.
However, Mu You didn't have time to rest, so he took a syringe and put it into the backpack space, and after blocking his ears, he pressed the mandrake and forcibly extracted a tube of juice from it.
Mandrake has been slack about Mu You in the past few days, no longer avoiding him like before, and occasionally dares to naughtily hang around him a few times and play hide and seek with him.
As a result, tonight, it slept well, and was found out inexplicably, and was pricked in the ass by something pointy, and a large tube of blood was drawn, and it collapsed!
At this time, the favorability accumulated by Mandrake before suddenly disappeared, and he looked at the syringe in Mu You's hand in horror, and hurriedly fled far away, burying himself deep in the soil, never daring to show his head again.
Mu You didn't have time to pay attention to it now, and it took another half an hour to draw blood, and he had to step up.
Silver powder, iron powder, crystal powder, and 100 ml of his own blood...... Spread out all the ingredients on the stove.
Mu You's fingers pinched the poker flying cards, entered the magic power, and popped up.
The poker begins to fly in an arc, and the Fool's Enchantment in front of it automatically appears.
Mu You exhaled and immediately began to try refining.
Skillfully handle all the materials and add them to the crucible in the same way......
With his experience in refining potion ointment countless times before, his every move this time was a bit like a potions master.
Of course, it's impossible to succeed in one go.
In less than five minutes, the first attempt was unsurprisingly sued.
Mu You was not discouraged, and immediately retraced the time and started again......
What follows is the infinite cycle of failure.
Third ......
10th ......
Fiftieth ......
100th ......
It was not until the 321st refining that the first finished potion was completed.
It's a pity that the quality is only black iron grade, and it is on the basis of adding a drunken spring breeze to improve the quality......
What Mu You needed was at least a fine-grade elixir. I had no choice but to continue backtracking.
Fortunately, since it has succeeded once, it means that at least the general direction is right, and the rest is to keep improving the details.
Mu You followed the description on the parchment roll, improving each step little by little......
It doesn't matter if he fails hundreds or thousands of times, in this enchantment, he has unlimited opportunities, unless he can't hold himself and give up psychologically, he will theoretically be able to succeed.
For the 2445th time, a normal-grade potion was born for the first time!
But it wasn't enough, Mu You went back in time without thinking about it and continued to correct the details......
More than a thousand attempts followed, during which the frequency of ordinary potions increased.
Until the 3450th time.
Finally, with a flash of brilliance, a liquid like crystal mercury appeared in the crucible, and the green glow emitted from its surface fully explained its quality: excellent grade!
"It's done!"
Mu You was excited, but he didn't have time to celebrate, and hurriedly poured the potion into the pre-prepared glass bottle.
Then he rushed downstairs, ran to the birdhouse, grabbed a canary with the best condition and health from the perch, and put it in the birdcage.
"I hope you don't mind having someone share a body with you......"
Mu You said sorry to it in advance in his heart, and then went to the basement to take out a bucket of chicken blood that had been sealed in advance.
Storing everything in his backpack, Mu You put on his invisibility cloak and went out with the birdcage.
The ritual of summoning the spirit needs to be performed on the flat ground that can face the moonlight, but Mu You is not sure what will happen during the spirit summoning process, so it is best not to do it in the city.
Mu You ran all the way to a hill more than ten kilometers away from home, and recruited the war eagle to set up a sentry nearby, and after confirming that there was no one on the mountain, he found a relatively open grassland on the top of the mountain.
It was four o'clock in the morning.
Looking up, the full moon was already setting in the west. It will be dawn soon, and Mu You hurried to start his work.
Cleaning up the nearby grass blades and dead branches, Mu You used chicken blood to draw a circle with a diameter of three meters on the ground, inside was a six-pointed star array, and further inside was a ring, and there was a small six-pointed star in the ring.
Mu You placed the birdcage in the center of the entire six-pointed star array, and then silently withdrew from the range of the formation.
Standing on the edge of the six-pointed star array, Mu You held the bottle of the elixir in his hand, opened the mouth of the bottle, and dropped the potion in it on the formation drop by drop, and at the same time, his mouth began to chant the spell at an average speed.
"Announce!"
"His name is Lord of Calamity, Anseni Vivien."
"He didn't kill anything in his life."
"Its name is not known."
"His soul is unharmed."
"His heart is not healed."
"I worship you as my ancestor today, and those who have no oracle, the ruined, the old, and the burners will all be recalled."
"Out of hell, with the blood road as the guide, and the bright moon as the lamp."
"At the intersection of Yellow Springs on the other side, the cycle repeats itself, starting from the outer circumference of the mirror door."
"When you are free, it is the opportunity for resurrection......
As the elixir continued to drip down, the formation under his feet suddenly began to glow.
The faint red light was like a remnant sun, illuminating the surrounding night, and the birds and beasts nearby flew away, and the sound of insects that had been incessant before became extremely quiet in an instant.
Only the caged bird was left, and it seemed to feel something, and began to flap its wings desperately to escape, but unfortunately it could not break free from the cage at all.
"I swear by it."
"With my lightness, I will take away all thy burdens."
"Blood as a ......"
"Soul as a ......"
The light grew heavier and heavier, and the dazzling red light pierced the forest, startling more birds and animals.
Around the formation, gusts of light wind continued to blow out from the center of the formation, blowing away all the debris around it.
Mu You was glad that he hadn't summoned him directly in the city, otherwise the attention attracted by this huge movement alone would definitely cause him to be distracted and unable to complete the ritual.
Mu You finished reciting the last few incantations as slowly as possible.
When he read it to the end, he suddenly felt that the magic power in his body was suddenly drained, and the end of the depletion of magic power was that his body began to lose strength, and his arms and palms were trembling.
He hurriedly grasped his arm and persisted in finishing the last drops of the potion as he recited the last words of the incantation.
“…… The boundary point with the star spirit, descending to the other realm! ”
As the last drop of the potion fell, the light of the entire circle also reached its extreme at this time.
Like the light of the scorching sun, it was so dazzling that Mu You had to stretch out his hand to block it.
