Chapter 180: "Unexpected"
After bringing the wood-colored cane back to the real world from the gray mist, Crane immediately began the ritual.
He lit the candles, burned the corresponding essential oils and herbal powders, took two steps back, and skillfully recited the name of the goddess, and concluded:
"I sacrifice this staff full of life force to you, and may I receive your favor. ”
He didn't directly mention the Fog Demon Wolf's flocculated heart and hoarfrost crystal, which was equivalent to an equivalent exchange, rather than offering an item, asking for a gift.
- Other aspects of the ritual can be left without being too detailed, but this fundamental attitude issue still needs to be paid attention to.
As Klein's words ended, two of the three candles swelled and intertwined to form an illusory and dark mysterious door.
The door slowly opened, bringing with it a strong invisible wind.
They rolled up the "Staff of Life" and let it disappear through the cracks of the illusory gate, in what looked like an endless starry sky.
Then, with a flash of light, two things pierced through the barrier and landed on the altar without a sound.
They were strange hearts entwined with a wisp of white mist, and frost crystals that emitted cold air.
Klein was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his head and thanked the goddess for the gift.
By the time he regained his head, the dark and mysterious door had closed and was rapidly fading, and the altar area was completely back to normal.
Whew, it really worked...... Crane breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps forward, and put away the flocculated heart and hoarfrost crystals of the mist demon wolf.
At this time, when he relaxed, he couldn't help but flash some thoughts that could never be spoken:
"I knew it was going so well, but I didn't necessarily have to use the 'life cane'......
"I'm so big with a bunch of clutter, maybe it's enough......
"Maybe if I don't sacrifice anything, the goddess will give it, and the current situation shows that He himself supported me to become an 'ancient scholar'......
"Of course, in this way, there will be too many gifts, and I don't know what the price will be in the future, so it is more reassuring to exchange the 'Life Cane'......
"Well, it seems that the goddess should still favor me before I get the angelic personality in Sequence 2, and it will be difficult to judge what kind of development and change will occur after that......"
Thinking of this, Crane gathered his thoughts, ended the ceremony, and cleaned up the altar.
Then, he began to plan how to deal with the so-called "Guardian of Forken Fortress".
"Magicians" don't do unprepared performances.
............
Bridge South District, Yuejihua Street.
Leonard changed into a black-and-white checkered police uniform and wore "red gloves", leading the squad members and real police officers to the only church of Mother Earth God Church in Beckland.
The epaulettes he wears correspond to the senior inspector, but in fact, with his serial rank and the identity of the leader of the "red glove" squad, he should be equal to the superintendent, or even the chief superintendent, but the police officer at that level is not very good at this kind of task, and wearing the corresponding epaulettes to harvest the church is easy to arouse the suspicion of the people.
Through the gate, Leonard glanced and found that it was empty, except for two figures, Bishop Fursak, who was sitting in the front row, praying intently, like a hill, and a handsome man in a priest's uniform, with black hair and red eyes, cleaning the ground.
Emlyn White ...... Leonard nodded to himself and walked down the aisle to Bishop Utravsky.
He then coughed lightly twice, causing the half-giant bishop to open his eyes and look over.
"I am a Senior Inspector at the Beckland Police Department. Leonard showed his ID and said, "Please go back and help with the investigation if there is something." ”
Father Utravsky stood up slowly, and asked in a condescending but calm tone:
"What's the matter?"
"Nearby residents have reported that you are behaving strangely, possibly as a spy for Fursack or Fenerport. Leonard said the reason that had been made up a long time ago.
At the same time, he was ready to forcibly pull Bishop Utravsky into his dreams, and once the other party resisted, he tried to control the dependant in a very short time.
With the configuration of the "Red Glove" team, as long as you don't directly encounter the real demigods, even if you face the dependents who are in charge of the holy relics, you are not too sure to win the opponent.
Moreover, before Leonard set off, he also applied for a "Level 1" seal, which is why he delayed his action until today.
Father Utrawski was silent for two seconds and looked sideways at Emlyn White, who was standing by the menorah.
Emlin's slightly complicated expression suddenly froze a little, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Father Utravsky retracted his gaze and nodded slightly:
"Good. ”
...... I thought it was going to be a very fierce battle, and I had to be very careful not to cause casualties...... Leonard was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Thank you for your cooperation. ”
If there was a battle that hurt the Goddess of Earth, Leonard suspected that the already tense situation would change drastically.
Through the ancient history learned in "Grossell's Travels", the secrets known at the Tarot meeting, and the corresponding explanations of the old man Paris, he understood that the current relationship between the Church of Mother Earth God and the Church of the Night is like sun-dried wood, which can be ignited with just a little spark, and when the time comes, the history books will record today's events like this:
The fuse for the war to move from local to full-fledged!
Leonard Mitchell lit the powder keg of religion!
Call...... Seeing that Fr. Utrawski did not resist and accepted "custodial protection", Emlyn White was also secretly relieved and very satisfied with his performance at the Tarot meeting.
At this time, Cindy, a member of the Red Glove Squad, glanced at Emlin, who was not masculine enough and had a soft sense of moonlight, and lowered her voice:
"Team, uh, chief, and a priest, do you want to take it with you? well, by the way, let the Harvest Chapel be closed for a while, so that there will be no accidents. ”
"......" Emlyn.
"......" Leonard.
After several seconds, after much deliberation, Leonard finally spoke:
"If the espionage case involves Fenerport, he is also quite suspicious, please go back with him to assist in the investigation. ”
Emlyn froze, not knowing what to say.
............
East End, inside a two-bedroom rental home.
Firth rubbed his dark eyes, took the last sip of bitter coffee, and jerked to his feet, starting to change his clothes for the trip.
"Written?" Hugh said, who was enjoying breakfast.
It's only been a day and a half!
Furth shook his head, took a deep breath and said:
"Nope.
"But I've already written the first part, so I can give it to the editor of the newspaper to read, and if I want to do a serialization, I don't need to finish it all now. ”
Hugh thought for a moment and said:
"It's a really good way to reduce your stress. ”
Furth's expression distorted, he closed his eyes and said:
"I hope that's ......"
............
In another rental house a few blocks away, after a period of busyness, Klein, who had made plans and preparations, put on "Wriggling Hunger", his body flew transparent, and entered the spirit world.
Looking up at the seven different colors of pure light that covered the heights, Crane let go of the arms of the two secret puppets and took out a box, disarming the "spiritual wall" on the surface, allowing the breath of the fog demon wolf to flocculate the heart inside.
Then, he pulled the secret puppet Enyuni, and the secret puppet Enyuni pulled the secret puppet Chunas, and the three of them became one, and quickly teleported to the depths of the spirit world.
Along the way, all kinds of strange spiritual creatures passed by them, like an oil painting depicting hell.
I don't know how long it took for Klein's premonition of danger to be suddenly touched, and a scene quickly sketched out in his mind:
Where red, black, white, blue and other colors are richly superimposed, a slender figure emerges very abruptly.
It resembles a hound, covered with jet-black short hair, with two burning dark red flames in the eye sockets, and the corners of its mouth extending to the back of its head.
Fugen's Dog!
Klein immediately turned around, facing in that direction.
He let go of the two puppets at the same time, leaving them to wander to different places.
In an instant, the Fugen dog appeared.
This is not too deformed, but the absolutely terrifying monster two dark red flames turned and looked at Crane.
Immediately afterward, its figure became more and more illusory, disappearing in an instant, as if it was just a projection from history.
“...... And just ran away?" Crane muttered to himself as he became more vigilant about a possible surprise attack.
More than ten seconds later, in the original position, two figures were outlined at the same time, both of them were covered with black hair, the eye sockets were on fire, and the corners of the mouth were cracked to the back of the head.
However, the two monsters had only a dark red flame left in their eye sockets, and the rest was in their claws.
Without waiting for Crane to react, the two Fugen dogs lay down in the Spirit Void and wagged their tails.
Wagged his tail.
"......" Klein's mouth was half open, suspecting that he was dreaming.
PS: Change it first and then change it, the number of words is a little less, and it will be normal tomorrow~
