Three days later, on the Moon Festival, Xia Duo gave all the people a day off.

During the day, the people who were assigned to the house invited other people to come to their homes as guests, although the current conditions were still relatively difficult, but it did not prevent them from having fun in their suffering, and a piece of fresh meat jerky was the best courtesy for them to entertain guests.

At the same time, Chadora also discussed the evening ritual with Layton and Mott, both of whom were novices, and although they had learned the corresponding knowledge in the temple, they were in a hurry when it came time for them to preside over it themselves.

And what made them even more busy was Xia Duo.

It is the norm to change customs with a heart, and it is the norm to be subtle, but at the key node, Xia Duo also has his own persistence.

"In addition to sacrificing the dead, the ceremony will also sacrifice to the moon, and I have prepared the sacrifice!"

Layton naturally didn't dare to object, but Mott objected, "But my lord, if you do this, it will destroy the integrity of the ritual, and the blessing effect will be reduced." ”

"It doesn't matter what the blessing effect is, what I need is the ritual itself, you know?"

This time, Shado did not hesitate to abandon substance over form, in fact, the form of the ritual itself was the real substance for him.

The so-called sacrificial rituals are nothing more than to eliminate negative energy, increase positive energy, and provide divine protection, but these are actually things that can be done in ordinary times.

But the Moon Festival is not every day, and he has made a lot of preparations in advance for this day.

After several discussions, it was Chardo who finally persuaded Mott to reorganize the ritual process, and when Mott and Layton entered the ritual rehearsal, Chardo came to the cemetery alone, and he also had to rehearse it again to avoid mistakes at night.

What he was going to rehearse wasn't a ritual, just a spell, or a big illusion.

The difficulty of casting the spell itself is not that difficult, the difficulty lies in the fact that in addition to the spell, the illusion needs to fit the reality perfectly with the scene, which is actually a test of the caster's artistic ability.

It's like wanting to make a realistic illusion, but it turned out to be a cartoon, but you can imagine it, and you can't fool people.

At present, Xia Duo has not mastered the magic of the mind, and the illusions he can provide are only at the audio-visual level, and cannot penetrate into the heart, so this illusion is actually to make it impossible for all the recipients to find flaws at the same time.

That's hard.

Fortunately, there is magic in this world, as long as it is not too exaggerated, resulting in the direct collapse of the three views, and the acceptance of ordinary people for anti-common sense phenomena is still very high.

For this illusion, even if it is regarded as magic by the lords, Xia Duo can accept it, after all, his original intention is only to create a concept.

It's just that it's more natural for the lord to find out by the lord himself than when the lord casts a spell.

Rehearsed twice, Xia Duo felt that it should not be a big problem, but it was still a bit weird to rehearse the illusion scene at night during the day.

……

Soon, the daylight passed, and the round full moon did not know when it quietly came to the hollow.

The leaders of the Great Xia Collar went to the outside of the cemetery under the leadership of their respective working groups, and now the cemetery has just been built, there are actually not many graves inside, there are many open spaces, and it is more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people inside.

In the future, there will be more graves, and perhaps only people with a certain status will be able to enter.

As one of the hosts of the ceremony, Leiden took the lead on the stage, although he did not have a priest's dress in his arms, but surrounded by holy light, he looked very majestic and sacred, followed by Mott, he was also surrounded by holy light, but the holy power of death was not as holy and dazzling as the glorious holy power, and it was dim and mysterious was its true color.

As for Xia Duo, as a lord, of course, he does not need to preside over it personally, as long as he is present, he must be the focus of the whole audience.

At this time, he stood on the side of the ceremony venue, quietly watching, before tonight, he had not seen more except for watching the rehearsal twice, and there was still a certain difference between the rehearsal and the reality, the biggest difference was that the rehearsal did not have the participation of the Holy Force, it was more just a rehearsal in the form of the process.

Xia Duo never explicitly went to Layton or Mott to ask for the Holy Power to study, but every time he had the opportunity to see the Holy Force, he would observe it attentively, trying to discover the mystery of the Holy Power.

Now, the ceremony is about to begin, and Xia Duo is even more energetic.

"Lord of all things, Lord of order, guided by the Holy Spirit, sweeping away the gloom."

Leiden only recited two prayers, diffusing the divine light, and then gave Mott a place, at this time only the four corners of the cemetery and the scene of the ceremony were lit fires, Leiden's holy power seemed to average the light in the cemetery, although it was still slightly dim, but counting the bright moonlight, it was already comparable to dusk.

It's just that as soon as Mott appeared and took over the ceremony, the light was still like dusk, but in the personal perception of everyone present, it suddenly dimmed a lot, and it seemed that even the moonlight above his head was much darker.

Mott didn't recite any proverbs or prayers, but walked around the cemetery, scattering the holy power everywhere, especially among the new tombs.

And in Xia Duo's vision, a peaceful and peaceful aura spreads out, enveloping the entire cemetery, making people's hearts calm, as if they are not even afraid of death itself, and even faintly feel happy about death.

"Sure enough, he is the master of the end of all things!"

Xia Duo watched quietly, the change in aura caused by the death holy power was only the surface, and it was easiest for people to notice, but in the deeper essence, Xia Duo saw that the magic net here had also undergone some subtle changes, and it became a little dull.

This was not an illusion, as he tried to cast spells, he clearly felt an extremely weak resistance, and all spells related to positive and negative energy were restricted, which affected almost all spells, because positive and negative energy is not only positive and negative energy itself, but also the positive and negative tendencies of other elements.

Any spell is more or less related to positive and negative energy, even if it is a shaping spell, it also needs to use positive and negative energy in the guidance and shaping of energy, otherwise it is not a spell, but pure elemental energy.

In addition, Xia Duo noticed that the effect of this holy power on the magic net was not constant, and as the holy power dissipated and subsided, the magic net was also restored, or in other words, the magic caster could also use the holy power to cast the exact same spell as the arcane spellcaster.

Of course, this requires the Divine Spellcaster to have the same magical attainments as the Arcane Spellcaster.

And what about the other way around?

Xia Duo thought of the Arcane Energy, but the Arcane Energy was just a pure energy, different from the power of the Holy Force, which had specific attributes, but it was relatively imitative or possible.

At the same time, it occurred to Shador's mind that there was a rumor circulating in Nesserr that the gods were nothing more powerful than the Arcanists!

Of course, this is not the dominant view, but it also reflects in some way the ambition of the Arcanist to become equal to the gods.

Perhaps the Ao Neng is a kind of power that was created in order to benchmark the Holy Force.

For a while, Xia Duo's heart was a little confused, and he was even more eager to become an Arcanist.
