Chapter 62: Tianming
Three years ago, Ayurun ......
Ayulun Street is lined with taverns, pawnshops, and workshops, and there are many small vendors with large umbrellas in the open spaces on both sides of the street, the most conspicuous of which is the pumpkin, a specialty that can be selected on the ground.
The streets stretched on both sides of the village of Ayurun to the quieter suburbs outside the village, but the streets were still full of pedestrians, some on their way with official documents, some on horse-drawn wagons to make deliveries, and some on the adventure to come back to buy supplies.
In a very ordinary tavern, two people wearing hoods and hoods sat in the corner whispering, and a tall and thin man who seemed to be weak took a sip of the white water in his hand, licked his lips and said to the person sitting opposite him: "Neberes, are you sure there is the most suitable place here to draw a magic circle for me?" You can't do that in a place where people gather. ”
Neberez disagreed, and replied: "Trust me Brin, don't look at the crowds here, but no one has gone back to that place, and it also meets your requirements, underground." ”
Brin clenched his fists, a little anxious and a little impetuous: "I really didn't expect that she was the priest in the prophecy." ”
Neberes: "I don't care who the chosen priest is, as long as you can summon the goddess to Erin, I will do my best to help you." Are you sure that the magic circle you learned is useful? ”
The irritable Brin ignored Neberes, who hated crowded places, and after throwing two gold coins on the table, he walked out alone, ignoring Neberes.
The two left the village and walked around the outskirts of the village for most of the circle, and finally arrived at their destination, the Qatak cemetery.
Neberes: "Originally, I bought the man from the middle gate to let us in, so we could get here faster through the Cuttac square. ”
Brin: "That's fine, avoid crowded places." ”
Looking at Brin, who was not easy to get along with, Neberez didn't seem to argue with him: "Okay, then you go by yourself, I will stand around here to help you watch the wind, I hope you are doing the right thing." With that, he disappeared in a flash.
The Katak cemetery is home to people who have been dead for a long time, and no one even remembers them. A rectangular pillar stands in the middle of the cemetery, which should be carved with the people buried here, but it has long been weathered and cannot be seen clearly, and it is full of traces of time.
Directly in front of the cemetery there is a passage leading to the underground, and above this passage, there is a huge statue of the three-headed dog of hell, two heads looking down, one looking up to the sky, and each wolf head is bound by a chain, as if afraid that the stone statue will wake up. And the three wolf-headed eyes are embedded in rubies, and by the sunlight, it seems that these three pairs of eyes are looking at every part of the cemetery all the time.
Brin took out the magic powder and drew a large circle around the pillar in the center of the cemetery, and then used different colors of magic powder to draw various strange runes in the circle. Summoning the Goddess requires two magic circles, one to stabilize the magic energy of the entire area, and the second to summon, and Brin is now drawing the first circle. The two circles must be activated at the same time, and if you are not careful, the latter will directly fail, while the former will trigger a magic explosion in the entire space.
After drawing the first circle, Brin came to the passage, and the iron door with iron locks blocked Bryn's way, and with a flick of his hand, the iron lock opened by itself.
"If the goddess would have been sacrificed on the day she came...... I must keep her, and in that case, then I will summon the goddess in advance! That way, she'll be fine. ”
Brin walked towards the underground, his mouth kept reading his plan, he clenched the hand holding the bag, in fact, this time he was not sure, and he didn't know what would happen if he failed, but Brin wanted to save her, even if he had the slightest chance, he wanted to try.
After walking the long staircase, Brin finally came to a huge space deep underground, which was full of dust, and there were some falling bricks except for the extinguished oil lamps around, but as Neberez said, it met the requirements of drawing a magic array, soundproof, hidden, indoor, and large space.
The magic circle used to summon the goddess is not simple, the curved runes with the pictographic text, which seem to be scribbled but look neat and orderly, each stroke of the brin is drawn very carefully, because if there is only one mistake, the magic circle will have to be redrawn.
It took three hours to finally finish drawing this complex magic array in one go, wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, and Brin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. This magic circle is huge and complex, with so many runes that it seems to fill an entire book, but this complete magic circle looks very comfortable.
Brin adjusted his breath and stood straight in front of the center of the circle, holding a magic wand in his hand, closing his eyes and chanting......
The magic array on the ground and underground activated at the same time, and the magic array slowly floated and rotated, causing the magic energy of the entire space to begin to beat, and then shrink and condense.
The air became gentle, and the magical energy converged into visible beams of light, all of which were gathered on the circle that summoned the goddess through the passage.
At this moment, the space shook, and the circle began to become manic, and beads of sweat instantly covered Brin's forehead.
"Nope! It's impossible for this circle to fail, why! ”
Cracks appeared in the restless magic circle in the air, and Brin sucked the magic energy leaked from the magic array into his body, and then released it by himself to repair the summoning circle that was beginning to crack. Using himself as a transmission tool of huge energy, such a load is unbearable for ordinary people's bodies, and in just an instant, Brin is already bleeding.
"There must be no failure!"
Powerful energy surged in the space, Brin had never seen so much energy in his life, he didn't care about his body, channeling all the energy into his body. At the same time, the magic array was damaged and quickly repaired, and in just a few minutes, all parts of the magic array were repaired.
The blood flowing from the Seven Holes stained Brin's clothes red, and the whites of his eyes had been filled with blood, and his entire eyes were horribly blood-red. The sheer load on his body made Brin dizzy, but he gritted his back molars and stared hard to keep himself awake. At this time, even the green tendons on Brin's head burst and erupted blood.
"Young man, are you crazy?"
An old, active voice rang out behind Brin. He watched the huge energy surge in the air, and felt that a strong hug would arise at any moment, and he couldn't believe that this young man had caused it.
Brin: "Old man? Who are you, what are you doing here, get out of here, it's dangerous here. Damn, what is Neberez doing! Brin's voice had become distorted, and he didn't dare to be distracted, the slightest mistake would fail to summon him, and he would be sent away by the explosion generated by the magic.
The gray-haired old man placed his hand on Brin's shoulder, and suddenly, the magical energy in the air became more orderly. The old man withdrew his hand, and the magic energy was also withdrawn from Brin's body by the old man, and then the magic was released, and he repaired the magic array with Brin.
The old man was more skilled than Bryn, who could only patch two cracks at a time, while the old man could patch more than a dozen at the same time.
After realizing that the old man was also a magician, and was stronger than himself, Brin respectfully said to the old man, "Thank you very much, but please leave here, in case you fail......"
The old man smiled: "Don't worry, with me, you don't have to worry about the magic explosion here, and besides, even if your summoning circle is summoned, it will fail." Besides, how long can your body hold up? ”
Brin looked at the old man in disbelief.
The old man continued: "Your magic array is fine, it's just a matter of time, the time is not right, so it failed. ”
