The sudden appearance of an original body after disappearing for 10,000 years really shocked Fujimaru Rika at the beginning.

However, considering that Ecovacs Corax Jewel was in front of him, and that the person who quietly came out of nowhere was Leon El Johnson, who had always practiced mysticism, Fujimaru Rika was a little puzzled by the question of "how did the Holy Blood Angel know about this news?"

But at the end of the day, this matter probably doesn't have anything to do with their topic at the moment...... Does it matter? Doesn't it matter?

Rika Fujimaru struggled to get the question out of her head, but she found that the weight of a primordial was something she couldn't shake in every sense of the word: the Lion King of Caliban was swaggering to take up most of her thoughts, and she stayed where she was.

"I think ......," she said, struggling to finish the last sentence she was going to say, "I don't think we're talking the same thing." ”

This can be regarded as a vague feeling at best, and I said it in a hurry so that the scene would not be so ugly nonsense. She couldn't make any further arguments: there was not much prior information, and Rika Fujimaru's mind had basically stopped.

The scene was interesting, but Dante didn't think about it to "win back the city". In his opinion, a little girl of this age, no matter how she is in a high position, is limited by the accumulation of experience due to age is placed there. After being caught off guard by the sudden news, it is normal for Rika Fujimaru to panic for a while. Coupled with the fact that the current environment was not a threat to anyone, Dante was even ready to take on a lot of questions, or sit still and wait a few minutes to clear his mind. However, to his surprise, after the last sentence fell, Rika Fujimaru only paused for just two seconds before reopening:

"While the cause and effect of this is really important, I think let's get back to the original topic."

Primitives can only be defeated by primitives. Therefore, in the blink of an eye, Rika Fujimaru made a decision: let the archangel drive away the lion king entrenched in his mind. She began to think desperately about the situation related to St. Giles, and the sheer amount of magic theories that needed to be pre-deduced to "find a way to recover him as much as possible and then re-summon it to the real universe" did succeed in squeezing out her impression that Leon seemed to be always looking at something and was very unhappy. The conversation continued on the "main topic":

"Considering that we don't have a more appropriate example around us, I'll explain the problem of 're-summoning' with a heretical-sounding term."

In all fairness, Rika Fujimaru also disliked saying this, because it could easily cause her forehead to be quickly pressed against the muzzle of a black hole. In the case of communication with the Imperials, this is undoubtedly a strategy, but even if it is, it is a "strategy" - unfortunately, after a round of bombing by the Lion King's bombers, she has completely forgotten the ready-made example of Sigismund at this time.

After neither Coates nor Ferrus could give an example, and had just been blown up by the news of the return of Leon El Johnson, her confused brain couldn't think of a better way to say it for a while:

"It's true that 'there is a soul after death,' and it should be basic common sense for you and me. The souls of the dead go to the subspace, and the dead primordial bodies are no exception. "Then, to remove the technical differences: if you think of the 'soul of the primordial' as a subspace entity, you can summon it to the real universe in some form—just as a demon is a subspace entity, but a demon can also be summoned to reality through some kind of designated ritual." ”

The analogy sounds heretical, but for Dante it is nothing more than a mediocre drizzle. After all, he was the one who had ordered his think tank curator to secretly summon the mature warband leader of Kabanha in order to make the harm caused by the Sadistic Great Demon controllable, and the slightest innocuous heretical analogy would not make him angry.

Even when he followed this logic and asked back, his tone was very calm: "So, how many 'sacrifices' are needed for the ritual prepared for this?" We may need to prepare for this in advance. ”

Dante wanted to ask carefully before he could take the minutes and go to Mephistopheleson for a closer look—he didn't understand the occult after all. In his experience, when it comes to summoning subspace entities, he thinks of human sacrifice, which is a very normal thing, but then he found that the expression on the face of Fujimaru Rika, who was on the other side of the table, wrinkled subtly:

"Although I admit it, I don't know many people in the empire yet." "But it's the first time I've seen someone like you who is a 'heretic than me.'" ”

In fact, in the vast territory of the empire and the countless customs derived from it, the "sacrifice of living people" itself is widespread, and whether it is heretical or not depends on whether the object of the sacrifice is the emperor or not. Returning to Fujimaru Rikka herself, she has seen many similar scenes in her past journeys: in the eyes of God, asking for human animals is a common thing to take for granted. But this does not mean that she grew up in an era of peace and rationality, and her three views will think that "this is a normal thing".

This is a "hypothetical" conclusion drawn through the simple religious concepts of the ancients: of course, the one who asks for the sacrifice of the living is the evil god, and the evil god is a heresy in the empire, so the sacrifice of the living is a heresy.

Dante didn't speak. It was undeniable that for a moment, he was indeed disillusioned by doubting whether the other party could see that he had ordered the summoning of demons, but then he realized that this should also be "common sense" for them, so it didn't mean anything at all.

And as his mind raced through all of this, Rika Fujimaru went on to recount: "This ritual will not use human animals in any sense, it is either a conventional, distorted taste, or inefficient, and, most fatally, it is 'unsustainable'." I feel that, at least for now, it's time to swap the power of 'summoning subspace entities' for 'clean energy'. ”

She ignored Dante's raised brow after hearing this, and simply continued, "I will use the Soul of the Planet on the main planet of Baal, as well as the connection between the celestial movements and tides of the entire Baal star system, to drive the entire ritual. ”
