Chapter 540: Immortality Ritual
After a while, all the seats in the viewing area of the ceremony hall were full, and Xia Duo roughly counted them, there were almost a hundred or so people, in addition to being in the temple before, there should have been teleported from outside.
Waiting was a bit tedious, but it wasn't so unbearable to have so many people waiting with him, especially since Nia pointed out to him an inconspicuous-looking spellcaster with her gaze and wrote the words "Grand Arcanist" in the palm of his hand.
Knowing that the Grand Arcanists were waiting patiently, Xia Duo instantly felt that it was not boring, but it seemed that the time it took for Archmage Sandro to prepare the potion was a little long.
Just when Xia Duo thought that the so-called immortality ritual was to prepare some kind of secret medicine and drink it, Archmage Sandro suddenly stopped what he was doing and placed the bottle of black-looking potion on a small wooden shelf on his desk.
Immediately afterward, Archmage Sandro continued to cast spells on the bottle of potion, and although the magic aura was acting on the level of perception, not a real light that could be seen with the naked eye, Xia Duo still subconsciously squinted.
The intense aura of magic is a testament to the great power of the archmage, at least none of the spells that Xia Duo has mastered now can have such a strong aura.
It must be a spell higher than 5 rings.
Not one, but several, one after another, Xia Duo had never seen a bottle of potion that could cast so many spells, and it was so advanced.
Generally speaking, a bottle of potion can only cast one spell, and no more than 3 rings, in addition, there are many restrictions on the types of spells, usually just some temporary state spells such as enhancing constitution and strength.
Due to the inconvenience of the storage and carrying of the potion, and the limited potential, Xia Duo did not specialize in magic potions, but he still knew some common sense.
It's just that now, common sense seems to have been turned upside down.
When Archmage Sandro had finished casting the spell, he turned to face the crowd of spectators, first bowed, and then said slowly in his hoarse voice:
"Thank you for coming to witness my transformation ceremony, although I am not human from now on, my soul and my will will will always be linked to Nessreel, and to Morion Tower, may Nesser rise and Arcane forever!"
"I wish Archmage Sandro the best of luck in his life!"
With the first opening, others also sent their blessings.
Xia Duo sat at the bottom, and when he heard what Archmage Sandro said about "inhuman", his heart was suddenly shocked, could it be that he was transformed into an undead creature, an undead creature is essentially a dead thing, of course, there is no life that is inanimate, they only have existence and destruction.
This can be regarded as immortality in an indirect sense, even eternal.
Are they really undead?
While the others were sending their blessings, Xia Duo looked at the Great Arcanist that Nia hinted at and blessed him, and he followed up and said that he was still very cautious about the undead.
……
After receiving the blessings from the crowd, Archmage Sandro laughed, then stepped up to the recliner next to his desk and took out a book that was clearly a magical object and placed it on his chest.
Then he took out a pure gold dagger glowing with blue light, and slashed it heavily on the palm of his other hand, and the blood suddenly gushed out, and the archmage's face remained unchanged, and he directly pressed the bleeding hand on the spell book on his chest.
With a click, the dagger fell to the ground, and as soon as Archmage Sandro stretched out his hand, the potion bottle that was still on the small wooden shelf on the desk flew into his uninjured hand.
The potion bottle was not big, the archmage drank it all, threw away the potion bottle, pressed his hand on the other injured hand, and finally a mysterious spell was used, and the archmage completely lost his movement.
This scared Xia Duo, and the immortality ritual became a suicide ritual?
In magical vision, there is no doubt that an archmage is different from a dead person, even if it is an undead creature, it is also different from a dead person, is this a transformation failure, or something else?
If it weren't for the special reminder from the temple staff who brought them over before, don't be surprised no matter what happens, keep quiet, and don't cast spells, it is estimated that many people present would have jumped up.
The archmage, who was alive and kicking just now, is now suddenly a dead man, and if this is the reality, it would be hilarious.
At this time, the atmosphere in the ceremony hall was a little quiet, and everyone stared at Archmage Sandro on the recliner, whether he could turn death into life?
Or is it just a failed ritual?
Xia Duo glanced at the Grand Arcanist who was hidden in the crowd, and saw that he was also frowning, and seemed to be a little nervous, which made Xia Duo think that things might be going bad.
Time passed minute by minute, and the atmosphere in the ritual hall became a little impetuous, and some people began to look around, as if they wanted to leave, Xia Duo was also a little impatient, but the Great Arcanist didn't move, and Xia Duo didn't dare to move.
Ahem –
Finally, someone couldn't help coughing, and this sound seemed to completely break the peace in the ceremony hall, and the atmosphere became even more impetuous, and someone had already gotten up and was ready to leave.
At this moment, the Grand Arcanist suddenly stood up, and his image suddenly changed, and this image was immediately recognized, even Xia Duo.
He had seen this man a few times before, but only from a distance, of course.
This person was none other than Randall, the Grand Arcanist of Morion Tower, and at this time, the mages to whom the Seven Towers belonged, especially the Morrion Tower, all stood up and saluted in unison:
"Your Excellency the Grand Arcanist Randall!"
"No need to be polite, the teacher's transformation ceremony has been completed, and now I am sorting out my past memories, please stay for a while." Randall didn't put on a stand for the superior, but said very politely.
Archmage Sandro was his mentor before he advanced to the Arcanist, and even though the teacher did not notify him of the transformation ceremony, he still got the news and came, and in order not to cause psychological burden to the teacher, he also specially changed his face.
It's just that I didn't expect that there seemed to be a little accident in the ceremony, and the teacher seemed to take longer than normal to sort out the memories, so that the people watching the ceremony felt that the ceremony had failed.
At this point, Randall had to step up, the ceremony had a beginning and an end, and he didn't want the teacher to wake up and see everyone leave.
……
With Randall's explanation from the Grand Arcanist, the people who had wanted to leave immediately returned to their seats, and of course, even if the Grand Arcanist didn't explain, as long as he showed up, the others would not leave again.
Xia Duo was very curious about what this so-called transformation ritual was all about, and he still needed to sort out his past memories, and now Archmage Sandro was clearly a dead man, but at the same time he was not an undead creature.
How did you become immortal?
