Esther didn't forget that she had a deal with Mr. "The World", and immediately went out to prepare the props needed for the sacrificial ceremony.

As for the spiritual materials, she planned to buy some directly from Klein, he was many times more familiar with ritual magic than Esther, and these things should be always available.

Crane froze in place for two seconds after hearing this request, and then agreed to Esther's request, only to symbolically accept her a gold pound. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, offering sacrifices to me in order to sell me extraordinary materials, so he bought my spiritual materials? What a weird cycle this is.

Esther didn't know this, and happily went back with her things, and on the way back, she also bought all the materials needed for the other rituals.

This time, for the sake of safety, Esther used points of light to spread them around, drawing four thin lines, instead of laying out the spiritual wall.

Esther was also a little tempted to see if the "Fool" would be able to connect with her prayers and sacrifices after such isolation. Her plan to do so was bold, but if the point of light was indeed cut off from the gaze of the "fools", it would not have been known to the "fools" about such an ungodly act that offended the might, and it would have no effect.

After returning to the hotel, making sure that Xiao Wu had fallen into a deep sleep again and putting him in the bathroom, Esther began to arrange the ceremony.

She first took out her pen and drew on the paper the pattern behind the "Fool" high-backed chair, consisting of the "pupilless eye" symbolizing secrecy and the "twisted thread" symbolizing change, which was the symbol of the "Fool" that Esther had already memorized in her mind.

Two sandalwood-scented candles were placed on a low round table, and Esther lit them one by one with matches. She didn't use the normal ritual of the extraordinaries to light the wicks with spirits, Esther's "spirituality" had never been normal, and she wasn't sure what the consequences would be for letting those points of light "light" the candles.

took out the silver vial that Klein handed her, and after unscrewing the bottle, a light and soothing aroma immediately wafted out of it, making Esther subconsciously take several sips. She then poured a drop of the liquid onto each candle, and the basic preparations for the ritual were done.

Esther placed the bandaged Shadow of Human Skin on the table, and she knelt down and began to pray in the language of the Giants, clasped her hands together:

"O fool who does not belong to this age;

You are the mysterious lord above the gray mist;

You are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune.

Your faithful servant prays for your gaze,

Pray that you will accept her offering,

Pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom......"

After the first three sentences, a whirlpool of wind formed around Esther within the area demarcated by the light, and everything around her began to distort, showing signs of transforming into a color block.

When Esther finished reading the prayer, she heard a cracking sound for no apparent reason.

The frenzied warning from "spiritual intuition" made Esther close her eyes for the first time, pressed her forehead tightly against the ground, and did not dare to raise it at all.

——

After Esther left with the spiritual materials, Crane drank tea and read the newspaper while waiting for the sound of prayer, ready to go four steps backwards to the bathroom.

He really didn't have to wait long, less than half an hour, in a clear prayer, four black dots appeared on Crane's right hand, and he immediately rushed to the gray mist.

The pale yellow ball of light wrapped in a transparent shell voluntarily descended from mid-air as soon as he appeared on the high-backed chair, and circles of light rippled on it, gently nourishing Klein's spirituality.

Crane reached out and pointed at the shell of the ball of light, but as soon as his fingertips touched it, the shell directly made a cracking sound and cracked!

Through the finger-wide slit, a vague image abruptly imprinted into Klein's mind, it was a young woman with her forehead pressed against the ground, kneeling, she trembled, and the lines and dots of her golden hair were constantly wriggling and flowing, like a living snake swallowing gold beads, spreading over her head, completely covering what was hidden inside.

It was Esther, and there was a bandaged object on the altar in front of her.

Except for Esther and the altar itself, everything around them was like a dissolving and mixed oil paint, chaotic and blurry, and it was completely impossible to see.

Crane couldn't help frowning, but seeing that Esther seemed to be in pain, he quickly brought the human skin shadow characteristic she was about to sacrifice into the gray mist, and then immediately withdrew from the perception of the situation inside the ball of light.

The crack in the ball of light was still there, which made its light flicker, and Crane summoned a gray mist to cover it, and the crack actually absorbed a few wisps of gray mist on its own, filling the transparent round shell on the outside.

"Does the gray mist have the effect of sealing this ball of light on its own? So I'm afraid the light inside didn't belong here in the first place......"

Crane spun a figurative coin in his hand, thinking about the special connection between this light and the "god" in Esther's body.

——

When the mouth was closed with a frenzied murmur, it was a few more minutes before Esther dared to sit up from the ground. There were fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her whole body felt like she was about to be crushed by a storm.

Holding on to the edge of the low table, Esther could barely support herself to stand up, and the things on the altar were gone, apparently taken away by Mr. "Fool". It's just a simple dualistic ritual sacrifice, why is it so painful? If there really was such a violent reaction, the considerate Miss "Justice" would not have said a word......

Is it because of the fear of the "fool" in my mind? It is naturally restrained, leading to itself being affected as well?

This seems to make sense.

Esther massaged her arms and calves, trying to recover her body from the stiffness.

Is this the power of the gods?

She felt tightness in her chest and lungs, coughed lightly twice, and took a deep breath. The discomfort on her body gradually eased, and it didn't take long for another blurry scene dyed with a thin light to enter Esther's mind.

The man knelt respectfully on the ground: "Dear Mr. 'Fool', please help me convey to Miss 'Lover' that the extraordinary properties of 'Werewolf' and the gold pound will be kept by you for the time being, and she can perform the ritual of asking for the gift at any time......"

"Huh, it seems that there is no problem, the ceremony of giving," Esther couldn't help but rub her hands, "Let's wait a few days, anyway, I'm not in a hurry now, I don't know how to explain to my fellow countryman when I get so much money, I can't always trust gold pounds from him, it's too troublesome." ”

I don't know when the "Hanged Man" will be able to contact the craftsman, the extraordinary trait sequence corresponding to the "Werewolf" is not too high, and the price of crafting the corresponding item should not exceed my funds.

Esther pondered, putting aside the expectation that she might get a new weapon, she walked into the bathroom, and took Xiao Wu in her hand and brought it out.

That's what makes her even more troublesome.

If she can directly erase Xiao Wu, Esther will instead think of its help during this time, so she hesitates, but under the restriction of not being able to do it, she is even more worried about it, only worried that one day it will attract the "head of the family" who seems to have a personal vendetta.

Esther could only continue to keep Xiao Wu by her side, with no choice.

When she struggles with this kind of heart, she can't help but think of Xiao Qi.
