Chapter 98: The Baptism Ceremony (1)

Looking at the three low-grade demon crystals of different sizes on the old magician's staff, Chen Yuxiang also felt a little emotion in his heart. Judging from the aura exuded, this Azakin has been a fourth-level magician for a while, but he hasn't even obtained a fourth-level demon crystal.

Obviously, although this Azakin has enjoyed all the 'Yan' blessings in this grassland tribe, the cultivation resources he has obtained are very limited.

But it's no wonder that in a small place like the Ulan tribe, it's good to have a mage tower. In such a small tribe of more than 10,000 people, the offerings that the old magician can get are also limited. As for the cultivation resources, apart from Yulu, Azakin has no other 'door' at all.

However, Chen Yuxiang would not give him a fourth-level demon crystal casually, after all, this old guy is not a good bird.

"Azakin, do you know how many magic stones an ice-type level 4 demon beast crystal nucleus is worth?" Chen Yuxiang looked at the old mage and said with a smile.

"My lord, I know it's very expensive, it's estimated that it's more than 5,000 magic stones, and ice monsters are very rare. Azakin said repeatedly, "But among the pilgrimage magicians I have entertained, you are the most noble! 5 top-level light demon beast crystal nuclei, even the fifth-level magicians in the county town can rarely have them!"

"Oh, you're 'quite knowledgeable!'" Chen Yuxiang glanced at his staff and couldn't help laughing. Indeed, how can the gift of the tenth-level magician Irina be mortal? On this level 5 staff, each demon crystal is a level 5 light demon crystal, and all 5 are demon crystals of the same kind of demon beast, which is definitely the best among the staffs!

"So if anyone can do me a favor, then there is no doubt that this person is you, my lord! Otherwise, I am reluctant to give up Princess Tuya to my lordship. But it's also the luck of the adults, just in time for the child's 'coming' ceremony......" Azakin began to babble again. It seems that he has indeed coveted the 'girl' child last night for a long time.

"Tsk, old Azakin, it looks like you're really not 'messing' well!" Chen Yuxiang sighed, pointing at his feet casually, "I'll talk about the demon crystal later, take me to see your baptismal pool! I'm very curious about this!"

"What is there to see about it?" Azakin was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It turns out that the lord is not a pilgrimage mage, but a child of a big family who has come out to travel!

At this time, Azakin also secretly scolded himself in his heart for being confused, how could he be a pilgrim with such a noble costume and such a high staff?

Chen Yuxiang smiled slightly, and did not refute. He had seen a failed baptismal font in the desert, and he was also very curious about the baptismal rites of the Rakshasas.

Of course, he was most interested in the power of faith, and what he was most curious about was the way in which the power of faith was obtained.

......

"My lord, this is easy, follow me!" said Azakin, turning and walking into the Mage's Tower. Chen Yuxiang also slowly followed.

In a corner of the library, Azagin pressed against the wall, and a bookshelf slowly slid open, revealing a deep hole. Inside the mouth of the 'hole', a long staircase is 'exposed'.

Chen Yuxiang followed Azakin and walked up the long stone steps. After descending about 50 feet, the stairs came to an end.

At the end of the stairs, there is a hall. The area of the hall is about one-tenth the size of the hall where Ji Xuanyuan lives, although it can't be compared with that hall, but it is much larger than the tower above his head.

The layout of the hall is the same as that of the one under the abandoned castle, with four huge pillars scattered around it, the walls are covered with ancient carvings, and a large pool in the center occupies most of the area, and the intricate magic circle is engraved next to the pool.

Even if Chen Yuxiang has learned a few magic now, he can sketch a few simple magic matrices, but he is still at a loss when he looks at this complicated magic pattern. Obviously, the complexity of this magic array was beyond his cognition.

"Azakin, you are the greatest servant of the Lord Almighty, and it is only through your baptism that the children will be converted to the Lord's bosom and enjoy the happiness of the light. This hard work should also be rewarded more. Chen Yuxiang looked at the baptismal font and exclaimed loudly.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Hearing Chen Yuxiang's words, the old mage was so excited that his beard turned up, but he immediately sighed again, "It's a pity that the adults in the county town don't think like you, adult!"

"Huh. The light of the Holy Tower will shine on you. But I've never seen a few real baptisms when I've grown up! Oh, I did, and it was when I was baptized when I was born in the Holy City. But I forgot all about the scene at that time!" Chen Yuxiang said and laughed.

"Huh. Adults are really joking, who can remember that they were baptized?, but if you are interested in baptism, you might as well stay for a moment today, there are just a few children in the tribe who are going to be baptized!" said the old master happily.

"Oh, really? Then I'm going to have to take a good look. Chen Yuxiang was also happy.

"My lord!" At this time, the voices of several mortals sounded outside the mage tower, although this place was deep underground, but the two of them could naturally hear it clearly. Chen Yuxiang's consciousness swept away, and he found several shepherds kneeling respectfully on the square of the Mage Tower.

"My lord, you can watch as much as you like here, it's time for me to meet those children of the Lord!" the old mage bent slightly at Chen Yuxiang, and then walked up the steps again.

Chen Yuxiang's eyes also narrowed slightly, looking around at all this. The biggest difference between this place and Ji Xuanyuan's residence is that there is not the slightest power of faith here, at least Chen Yuxiang can't feel the existence of the power of faith.

However, Chen Yuxiang also understood that the reason why this abandoned castle baptismal pool had the power of faith was because of the great changes in the outside world and the severance of connection with the Mage Tower. And this is clearly a way to connect with the Holy City Mage Tower. It could be this pool, it could be this strange magic array, or it could be something strange.

Chen Yuxiang's purpose in coming here was naturally to find a way for the Mage Tower to collect the power of faith! I have to say that this power of faith was the purest and softest 'essence' divine energy he had seen so far, and this energy could be directly integrated into the soul without even being purified.

This kind of energy, naturally, is the more the merrier. If he can discover the secret of the Mage Tower's collection of the power of faith, Chen Yuxiang will have the possibility of collecting more power of faith.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Yiyi also walked down curiously, and said suspiciously.

"Hehe! It's nothing, I haven't seen the baptism of the Rakshasa people, you haven't seen it either, let's open our eyes together today!" Chen Yuxiang replied with a smile.

"The baptism ceremony, I'm curious too!" Yiyi nodded obediently and walked to Chen Yuxiang's side and stood down.

After a while, the old mage came down with a few shepherd-like men. These people have men and women, the men are as strong as the mountains, and the women have proud bodies, but their faces are full of wind and frost. Obviously, the hard life has also taken away their original beauty.

The two newborn babies were wrapped in thick sheepskin mattresses and held in their mother's arms.

When these shepherds saw Chen Yuxiang and the others, they all showed a respectful "color", knelt on the ground and said, "My lord!"

Chen Yuxiang waved his hand and asked the people to stand up. At this time, the old mage had already begun to activate the ancient magic array.

I saw Azakin holding his staff, waving it violently, while chanting simple and obscure magic spells in his mouth. After a while, the magic patterns around the pool began to shine, and strange energy flowed inside, and the entire magic array seemed to come to life.

As the magic array activated, a divine aura began to permeate the room. Several of the shepherds watched all this with fanatical expressions, as if they had seen a miracle.

After a while, the light of the magic array reached the extreme, and the divine aura in the air became more and more intense. At this time, the water in the pool below also began to vibrate violently, and a faint mist began to appear above the pool.

"Praise the Holy Tower!" the old mage shouted with a sudden wave of his staff.

"Praise the Holy Tower!" all the shepherds bowed at the same time.

After a while, the water in the pool was calm again, but the color was pale blue, and the two shepherd daughters who were holding the child in their arms stepped forward and carefully untied the sheepskin mattress from the child.

With a flick of the old mage's staff, the two children left their swaddling clothes and slowly flew towards the pool. Several men also looked at all this with a 'excited' face, and their eyes were full of excitement.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the two babies fell into the water, but they were half floating on the water. It seemed that all this was very new, and the two children laughed happily.

At this time, the old mage hurriedly recited a series of obscure incantations, and there was a 'wave' in the void above the pool, and a diamond-shaped crystal appeared there, floating silently.

"This is it!" Chen Yuxiang's pupils shrank suddenly, staring at the strange crystal. From this crystal, he finally found a trace of the power of faith.

The old magician stared at the strange crystal and began to sing loudly. Chen Yuxiang's eyes were staring at this crystal. At this time, his writing wheel eye skill was running at full speed, and the scene in front of him suddenly became countless times clearer, but the inside of the crystal was clearly seen by him.

Inside the diamond-shaped crystal, there are many tiny golden 'colored' spots of light. These points of light are very similar to the golden 'color' points of light in Chen Yuxiang's knowledge of the sea, and there are about more than 10,000 of them, but they are much dimmer. On top of these golden 'color' points of light, Chen Yuxiang also found that every golden 'color' point of light has a trace of soul breath on it.

Soon, Chen Yuxiang found a familiar soul breath.

"Princess Tuya!"
