Setting up the candle, Colin Iliad took out a piece of sterling silver, picked up the carving knife next to him, and swished out a palm-sized charm carrier.

Then, as Derick Berg described, he carved the hidden symbol of the "fool" on the front and back of the silver.

During the whole process, he was so fast that if there were bystanders, he would definitely not be able to see the movements clearly, but the final product was not flawless, like a work of art carved out in several days.

Immediately afterwards, Colin Iliad found another bottle of mercury, and directly used his powerful spirit to direct the liquid inside into the charm out of thin air, filling all the lines, and making the mercury facing down not fall due to gravity.

After repeating the process and making the second charm, Colin Iliad placed them in front of the candles and placed a small worm with a transparent link.

Compared to when he first stood up from the silence, Colin's every move now seemed calm, calm, and determined, without the slightest hesitation, just as he did when he faced the powerful monsters in the darkness.

Ready for the ceremony, he took two steps back, removed the straight sword that hung crosswise from the wall, and inserted it into the crack in the floor tiles of the doorway.

And as Colin closed his eyes and whispered, a little pure and thick light emerged from the surrounding void, covering the two straight swords with a sense of sacredness and glory.

This light gathers more and more, slowly turning into flowing water, forming a "cage" that separates the inside and outside along the cracks between the floor tiles and walls of the room.

As a veteran "demon hunter", Colin Iliad didn't really want to make such a defensive move during the ceremony, because it was not unlikely to anger the object of the prayer and bring about more dangerous changes, but he had to do it, he had to make sure that even if the ritual failed, even if the "fool" was a malicious existence, even if he died in front of the altar, the entire Silver City would not suffer too much damage.

For the defensive ability of the current "cage", Colin, the chief of Silver City, is still quite confident, because this is directly derived from a god-level seal, the crown worn by the Giant King Ormir at the beginning:

"Proof of Glory!"

This is one of the main factors that Silver City can withstand the invasion of waves of monsters in the darkness in the deep dark era!

Seeing that all the preparations were complete, Colin Iliad used his desk as an altar and made a holy and undisturbed environment purely spiritually, and lit the three candles.

The dim light flickered softly into his eyes, and he lowered his head and threw the powders of plants and monster skins mentioned by Derick Berg into the candle flame or into the cauldron to please the one who was about to pray.

Similar activities are not uncommon in Silver City, where there are sacrifices to the creator on the surface, and from time to time there will be various rituals held by some residents who are tempted by unknown beings during patrols or explorations.

Most of the latter are passive, but there are also a small number of active attempts, on the one hand, the despair of serving the creator for thousands of years without responding to a little bit of accumulation has made some people's mentality collapse, desperate to seize other reliance, on the other hand, the "Council of Six" many generations ago in Silver City has formed a consensus, the creator who abandoned this land is likely not to come back, and finding other ways out must be on the agenda, but unfortunately, such an attempt, except for invalidity and death, has never had a third ending.

Because of this, no matter what difficulties were encountered, no matter how many city-states were destroyed by the "evil gods" were discovered, Silver City persevered in exploring the surrounding area and further afield.

For Colin Iliad himself, the discovery of Jack the Outsider brought indescribable surprise and hope, and the discovery of what happened to Afternoon Town, the conspiracy of the kings, and the prophecies of the priesthood gave him a greater sense of urgency, and he no longer had any hope that the Creator would return.

The combination of these two factors, coupled with the anomalies of Lovia and Deric, and the prophecy of the apocalypse, Colin Iliad, the head of the "Council of Six", a veteran demigod, and a powerful "demon hunter", had to try to dance on the blade, and had to consider making a deal with a hidden existence.

Silently exhaling, Colin took a step back and recited in a voice with a slight sense of vicissitudes:

"Fools who do not belong to this age;

"The mysterious lord above the gray mist;

"The Yellow and Black King who rules good fortune;

"I pray to you, for mystical powers, for the gift of good luck, for the objects on the altar to form a charm......"

As soon as Colin's frustrating, rhythmic and mysterious voice fell, the altar he saw suddenly became dark and deep, as if an indescribable and indescribable divinity was pouring out of the candle flame in the middle.

The candle flame suddenly rose and became larger, but instead of illuminating the surroundings, it made everything more illusory, so that countless transparent shadows of different shapes and shapes that seemed to exist appeared everywhere, sparse or dense.

In the heights of this illusory world and countless figures, there are seven clear discs of different colors, which seem to contain endless knowledge.

And above these seven pure lights, there is an endless gray mist, an ancient palace that looks down on everything.

"Demon Hunter" Colin forgot about anything else for a moment, and just looked at the picture on the altar intently, as if something that only existed in books and ancient books had crossed the obstacles of illusion and reality, and really came to him.

If he remembered correctly, this should be a projection of the spirit world.

Before that calamity, before the Creator abandoned the earth, it was easy to observe and even enter the spiritual realm!

Now it only exists in the teaching materials and various materials of Silver City, and no one can touch the spiritual realm!

At this moment, a squeaky illusory voice suddenly sounded, looking down at the gray mist and looking down at the ancient palace of the spirit world, it seemed that a gate had opened.

Immediately afterward, Colin saw the unformed charms in front of the candle flame glow with a gray glow, and their lines were "lit up" one after another, intertwined together, and suddenly burst into a blind, rich glow, enveloping the sterling silver flakes and the ring worms together.

The entire dark world on the altar was also distorted for a moment.

Everything quickly returned to normal, but there were two more strange charms made of black crystals on the altar, as if the eyes of some being were quietly watching the world.

"Demon Hunter" Colin was stunned for a moment, retracted his gaze, buried his head, and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your gift;

"Praise you for your presence. ”

He didn't delay, and immediately ended the ceremony and lifted the blockade.

After doing this, the head of the Silver City "Council of Six" returned to his desk and picked up the two charms made from the relics of Amun's clone.

Until this time, the image he had just seen remained in his mind:

According to his occult knowledge, the seven lights mentioned in some ancient texts should be located at the height of the spirit world, which is considered to have a person close to the gods, but all the information does not record what is above the seven lights, what the gray mist symbolizes, and which one is represented by the ancient palace surrounded by the gray mist and looking down on the entire spiritual world.

Throughout the ceremony, Colin Iliad felt that the "fool" he prayed to was deep, mysterious, and high, unlike some evil creatures who always like to show off their power and can't wait to show something.

Such a manifestation is similarly described in the records of the Silver City, and belongs to the Creator!

Looking at the charm in his hand and checking his own state, the gray-haired "Demon Hunter" Colin suddenly closed his eyes, because one figure after another flashed in his heart:

It was his father, mother, brother, sister, eldest son, youngest son, daughter, and eldest grandson who had ended his life with his own hands.

The chief, who was already a little old, was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed lowly:

"Two thousand five hundred and eighty-three years......"

Two thousand five hundred and eighty-three years later, Silver City finally got another normal response.

............

In the library of the Minaret.

In the area of Ancient Mythology, which he often reads, Derrick finds a notebook that he has not read before.

The cover of this notebook is made of some kind of monster leather, and the pattern can be seen, and the paper inside is old and yellow, recording the original owner's experience when he encountered different monsters.

Most of these monsters can be found in the textbooks of Silver City, even the characteristics, but there are a lot of combat reflections and experiences in the notes, which makes Darek quite interested and serious.

Flipping through it, he suddenly noticed a monster called "Shapeshifter".

This monster does not have the intelligence to communicate, but it is adept at setting traps against targets, and can disguise itself as someone else to hunt and kill in a variety of seemingly unbelievable ways......

The owner of the note commented on this as weird and dangerous.

This is very similar to Mr. World's speculation about the characteristics of trickery monsters...... Could it be that the "shapeshifters" are tricky monsters? Derick was overjoyed, and quickly browsed back, and found that this kind of monster lived in the ruins of a city-state farther north and farther away, and because the monsters in the darkness of that area were powerful and terrifying, even the "Council of Six" could not deal with some of them, so after the first two attempts, Silver City's exploration of the vicinity was temporarily suspended, and it has not been resumed until now, and for similar reasons, the special monsters over there are not described in the Silver City textbooks.

After reading these accounts, Derick subconsciously flipped to the last page of the note, wondering who had personally experienced those two thrilling explorations.

In the loud voice, he swept a name:

"Colin Iliad. ”

............

County Didey, Puerto Eskosen.

Crane returned to the real world, rubbed his forehead, and headed straight for the bed, where he collapsed suddenly.

In order to let the chief of Silver City have a better impression of the "fool" and generate more trust, when he responded just now, he took the initiative to add special effects, forcibly showing the mysterious space personality above the gray mist that will only be presented in the "secret covenant ceremony" and "sacrifice and bestowing ceremony", which made him consume a lot of spirituality, and the whole person was even more tired and wanted to sleep.

Wait until you wake up to find food for the "Wriggling Hunger", and let it rest above the gray fog now...... Crane thought in a daze, and soon fell asleep, from morning to mid-afternoon, until he was awakened by the sound of his stomach.

PS: Starting today, there will only be a single change on the weekend.
