Aurel glanced at the slightly stained white cloth, turned his head sideways and smiled at Lumian:

"If the object of ritual magic is oneself, it doesn't matter if the altar is dirty, but if you want to pray to the gods and hidden beings, I suggest changing to a cleaner cloth, or simply removing this cloth and wiping the tabletop."

"Pray to yourself and just highlight a casual one, right?" Lumian couldn't help but tease.

Aurel chuckled:

"'Casual' mainly focuses on the environment, materials, and utensils, and the entire ritual flow and corresponding incantations must be strictly followed by the rules of the occult."

After speaking, she took out an orange-yellow candle from the hidden bag:

"It's a candle mixed with citrus, lavender, and the point is not their field, it's what I like."

She first placed the candle above the "altar" in front of her:

"Remember, the candles representing the gods were placed in these two places and can now be empty."

Then she placed the candle close to herself:

"Remember, this is 'me' place."

After setting up the candles, Aurel went to the kitchen and brought over a glass of water, a plate of coarse salt, and a small bowl made of steel:

"The next step is to create a clean, undisturbed ritual environment, remember, spiritual cleanliness, which must be constructed by ourselves.

"The way to do this is to go into meditation, concentrate your mind, channel your spiritual power through auxiliary objects, and build a spiritual wall around the altar.

"For 'Voyeurs' and 'Fortune Tellers', this is simple, while 'Hunters' need the help of other items before Sequence 7, such as an incense stick that will give you an ethereal state of emotional calm, or a crystal ball that will help you be more spiritually active and focused.

"Well, the meditation I taught you before is incomplete, only the first step, which can only be used to gather your thoughts and calm your state, and I'll tell you the rest later."

Incomplete previous meditation methods? So why am I able to inspire dreams to be special and make those two symbols stand out? Lumien was slightly surprised.

Aurel pulled out a silver dagger from his clothing pocket:

"Now take a closer look at how I build the spiritual wall."

Lumian was dumbfounded, and subconsciously said:

"Why do you have so many things on you?"

First the various spell-casting materials, the retractable monoculars, the miniature inkwell that holds the "white paper" of the spirit creatures, the candles used for the ritual, and now a dagger is pulled.

Aurel sighed helplessly:

"Do you think I want to? This is where the 'wizard' is inconvenient.

"I have to change every outfit by myself for a long time, and sometimes, I suspect that I am Doraemon, and I can take out whatever I want."

"What Dara Amon?" Lumian didn't understand what her sister said in the last half of her sentence in another language.

Aurel was stunned for a moment, and replied with a slightly complicated expression:

"You don't need to know."

For some reason, Lumian suddenly felt a little sad about his sister.

Aurel quickly regained her mood and put her right hand on the orange-yellow candle that represented her.

"In ritual magic, candles can't be simply lit, and of course, sometimes lighting them in ordinary ways can have an effect, but that's not always a good thing." "The right thing to do is to extend the spirituality, rub it against the wick, and set it on fire. ”

As she spoke, she let the candle burn with an orange flame.

The dining table and the surrounding area, which acts as an "altar", are instantly illuminated and take on a wonderful depth.

Aurel's pale blue eyes had darkened at some point, and an invisible wind swirled around her.

She inserted the silver dagger into the coarse salt and chanted a mysterious incantation from her mouth:

“XXX，XXXX!

“……”

Lumian listened to it with a blank expression, and could only watch as her sister drew the silver dagger after the spell was completed, inserted it into the cup of water, and lifted it up again.

Aurel pointed the tip of the dagger outwards and walked around the altar, feeling an invisible force erupt from the silver dagger with every step she took.

They combine with the air to form an invisible wall that the wind cannot blow into.

By the time Oroel had finished her walk, Lumian felt as if she was in another world.

"Do you see the steps clearly?" Auror's voice was a little "farther away" than before.

Lumian nodded honestly:

"I can see clearly, but I can't understand what you're reading."

Aurore couldn't help but laugh:

"You're really illiterate in the occult, literally.

It was Hermesian, which translates to something like this:

"I sanctify you, Blade of Sterling Silver!

"I cleanse and purify you so that you can serve me in the ritual!

……

"Take the wizard Aurel. In the name of Lee,

"You are sanctified!"

Lumian scratched his head:

"Sounds ordinary."

"Translated like this, the focus is on the meaning of the incantation itself and the language used." Auror's eyes rolled upward, "If you pronounce the Indisian language naturally and ordinarily, you can use Hermes, Ancient Hermes, Elves, Dragons, and Giants that can mobilize supernatural powers, then it will be different." ”

Lumian asked curiously:

"Only these languages have the power to communicate mysteries?"

"That's not it, there are many similar languages in the occult field, each with its own specialities, for example, for the undead, but most extraordinary people can't use it in their lifetime, unless they want to study a unique and rare field, or perform corresponding rituals." Aurore explained casually.

She further explained the mantra she had just given:

"When the silver dagger was sanctified, the penultimate sentence should have been in the name of some god or secret being, but we are wild extraordinary, and we should not use it as much as possible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"As an extraordinary person, it is actually enough to sanctify an ordinary item in your own name, although the effect is not as good as the original one, but it can also be used."

Lumien nodded first, and then thought of a question:

"You took my name later, can I use it in the ceremony?"

"Yes." Aurel was sure, "The new one won't work, but your name has been used for several years, and there is a occult connection." ”

She paused and said:

"When sanctifying items, if you are in the field and don't have so many materials, you can do it with coarse salt or water."

With that, Aurel pulled out a silver-black metal vial from the pouch that was no more than the height of her index finger.

"It's an essential oil that I blended myself, called 'The Wizard of Oz', and what stands out is a good smell." She then dropped three drops of pale green liquid on the candle that represented herself.

With a thud, the light of the candle dimmed, and a faint mist spread, making Aurel and the altar in front of her seem rather mysterious.

"Next is the point." Aurel pulled out a small piece of imitation parchment from her pocket, "If you're performing ritual magic that you're asking for from a god, you'll need to draw the symbol of what you're asking for on paper and burn it during the ceremony.

"The mantra is divided into several parts, the first part is I pray for the power of whoever and who, and the 'who, who' needs to be filled in with a certain symbol, a certain honorific name or a realm of domination of the gods, for example, I pray for the power of the sun, I pray for the power of order, remember, there are two sentences in total, and there are two candles that represent the gods.

"The second part is 'I pray for God's providence,' remember, don't call them by their names, it's blasphemy to do so in rituals, and the 'eternal sun' can be referred to by God or Father.

"The third part is what you want to pray for, and it must be short, in one sentence.

"The fourth part is to give more power to the spell, something like 'O sunflower, herbs belonging to the sun, please pass on the power to my spell', you can pick two or three according to the materials used.

"After reciting the incantation, drop a drop of essential oil on each candle, burn the piece of paper on which the symbol was drawn, and when the paper is burned, the ceremony is over, and then thank the gods, extinguish the candles in the order of 'me' and then 'God', first right and then left, and lift the spiritual wall, well, the order of lighting the candles is left first and then right, first 'God' and then 'me'."

Lumian snorted twice:

"And what about praying to yourself?"

Aurel laughed:

"The spell is simpler, and I'll use summoning spirit creatures as an example:

"There is only one word in the first part, 'I,' which needs to be shouted out, remember, it can't be Hermes, it must be Ancient Hermes, or Elfish, Dragon, Giant.

"The second part is 'I call in my name,' and from here on it can be in Hermes.

"The third part is a specific description of the spirit creature you want to summon."

"What is a specific description?" Lumien asked.

Aurel explained quite seriously:

"There can only be three specific descriptions, and the purpose is to help us lock down the spirit creature we want to summon.

"I'll give you an example, today a stranger came and said I was looking for 'Horor's prankster king, Aurel. Lee's stupid brother, a regular at the old tavern', do we know exactly who he's looking for? ”

"I see!" It dawned on Lumien, "Without knowing the target's name, appearance, and address, use his traits to help find him." ”

Aurel's Orthodox Path:

"That's how it works, but there's a lot of trouble in practice.

"For example, when we summon spirit creatures, the first sentence is often fixed, either 'spirits wandering in vain' or 'spirits wandering in the upper realm', which is aimed at the spirit world and makes it clear that we are calling spirits.

"The second sentence is also very generic, you think about it, we don't summon spirit creatures to kill ourselves, then we must limit the friendly creatures, and sometimes, we have to add the restriction word 'weak', because some spirit creatures may be really friendly, but its existence itself will bring you great danger.

"With these circumstances in mind, the description is settled, 'friendly creatures to drive,' 'friendly creatures to consult,' 'weak creatures to drive,' and so on, and so on.

"Relying on these two descriptions alone, the direction is still very broad, and it does not reflect our needs, and we can't specify what kind of spirit creatures are coming, so the third description is very important, you need to make it clear in one sentence what kind of creature you want to summon."

"It's hard." Lumian felt a headache just thinking about it.

Aurel nodded:

"It's not only difficult, it's dangerous.

"When the direction is vague, it may be a spirit you don't need, or it may be a creature that poses a danger, and you have to remember that in many cases, being weak doesn't mean it won't kill you, just as being friendly doesn't mean it doesn't pose a threat to you."
