Chapter 7: Crane's Sacrificial Ritual
"Justice" Audrey was excited, reserved and elegantly nodded:
"I'm happy to cooperate. ”
As a "spectator", she clearly remembers that Mr. "Fool" only used "trying" in two things, one was when he and the "Hanged Man" were pulled into this mysterious space, and the other was the time when he gave his honorific name and let the two of them try to pray, and the result was successful enough to reveal some of his essence.
What kind of attempt will it be this time? It's really exciting! Audrey restrained her impatience and tried to be a qualified "audience."
Trying to ...... "The Hanged Man" Alger's spirit is tense and wary of the "Fool's" proposal.
What did he want to do? What was his real purpose? Would it be good for me or bad for me? Thoughts poured out and fell, and Alger's mind was filled with the image of "Lieutenant General of the Hurricane" Zillingers as he died as he quickly decayed.
Finally, he lowered his head and replied deferentially:
"Your will is my expectation. ”
The "sun" Derick next to him looked at the "hanging man" and then at "justice", and did not understand why they were so sensitive to the so-called "attempt".
Klein tapped his fingers on the edge of the long bronze table and paused, and said with a smile:
"This attempt will make your transactions easy and secure, and keep them confidential enough. ”
He tilted his head slightly, looked at the "upside-down hanged man", and said unhappily:
"Do you remember the sacrificial ritual described by the Sun?"
Klein deliberately mentioned this incident to show his own openness, so that the members of the Tarot Society could not think that the sacrifice ceremony he was about to offer was derived from the description of the "sun", and it was difficult to think that he had gone to great lengths to deceive a template for the sacrifice ceremony.
"As I remember, I've been exposed to this kind of stuff in my daily life. Alger replied honestly, but his heart was furious.
Since orthodox gods rarely respond to similar rituals, the word "sacrifice" has often been synonymous with evil gods and demons since the Fifth Age!
The thought of the terrible consequences that might result from this made the "hanged man" feel like he was walking on the edge of an abyss, and if he was not careful, he would fall, be corroded, and devoured.
According to the predetermined plan, Klein didn't explain too much, nodded slightly:
"My idea is that you will sacrifice extraordinary materials to me through a ceremony, and I will give it to Miss 'Justice', and this form of transaction will be beneficial to both of you. ”
Audrey was dumbfounded, feeling that this was beyond the limits of her imagination.
But soon she came to her senses and figured out the advantages of this method and the essence of the gods hidden under the seemingly simple operation!
Mr. "Fool" is awesome! Our Tarot Society is really different from other secret organizations! We use the methods of the gods to exchange supplies and materials! Audrey almost habitually said "praise to the goddess" in her heart, but eventually changed it to praise Mr. "Fool".
Alger became more and more vigilant, and entered the mode of calm thinking:
"Dear Mr. 'Fool', what do I need to do?"
He tried to analyze the true purpose of the "fool" from the flow of the sacrificial ritual.
Klein pressed his right hand lightly:
"As I said, this is just an attempt, and it may not succeed, so I need your cooperation. ”
"First of all, you prepare an altar, which is not too complicated, it can be very simple, and the only requirement is to engrave or draw the symbol. ”
As he spoke, a curtain of light appeared in front of him, on which was a mysterious pattern of the combination of the "pupilless eye" symbolizing secrecy and the "twisted thread" symbolizing change, the one behind the Fool's high-backed chair.
After experimenting with spiritual materials before, Crane determined that the sacrifice ritual he designed could create an illusory gate on top of the gray mist, similar to the Summoning Gate, but his own strength could not build a stable passage, so he could not use this special purpose of this mysterious space above the gray fog to allow the sacrifice to be completed.
So, he was ninety percent sure that the ritual would succeed in the end, the only question was, could the passage be constructed with ordinary spiritual materials, or would it have to be extraordinary, enough extraordinary?
Let Miss Justice and Mr. Hanged Man bear the cost of this experiment...... Anyway, they knew from the beginning that the Tarot Society itself was the product of an attempt, and that there would be other attempts to be predictable, and attempts would inevitably fail, even if they were gods...... Klein decided to pass on the costs.
As "The Hanged Man," "Justice," and "The Sun" tried to memorize the symbol, Crane chuckled:
"If you forget, ask me and you will be able to 'remember' it. ”
"Okay!" replied Audrey in a brisk tone.
With Mr. Fool, the ceremony is no longer tiring and cumbersome!, she thought happily.
Seeing that the "Hanged Man" nodded his head, Klein continued to describe:
"Secondly, follow the normal process, but there is no need to burn the herbs and apply the holy oil, there is no need to pick a specific time, it is enough to chant my name. ”
"Remember, chant in Ancient Hermetic or Giant's language, with the following prayer:"
"Your faithful servant prays for your gaze;"
"Accept his offering;"
"Pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom. ”
"After chanting, combine the spiritual material with the vibration of the natural forces caused by the incantation, and wait for my response. ”
"If this step doesn't work, change the spiritual material to the extraordinary material and try again from the beginning. ”
"The Hanged Man" Alger listened quietly, and felt that his previous guess was likely close to the truth:
The "fools" are in a certain predicament!
He gives an inducing attempt, a step-by-step in-depth attempt, that is, with the help of himself, "Justice", "the sun", slowly break free from the shackles, and in the end, He may come to the real world!
This is also the real purpose of He who pulled people into this mysterious space and agreed to establish the Tarot Society!
Even without previous speculation, Alger believed that he would have come to the same conclusion after hearing about this trial-and-error sacrifice ritual and comparing it with previous attempts.
The only thing he couldn't figure out was that Mr. Fool had a powerful client, and there was no need to use himself and Justice, the Sun, and his Favourite himself could make a similar attempt.
There must be a secret in this that I don't know yet...... The attempt had to be stealthy enough, and his beneficiaries were watched by some being?
After Klein finished describing the ceremony, he asked in a low but gentle voice:
"There must be a definite time for the sacrificial ceremony, Mr. 'Hanged Man', when are you going to try it?"
Unlike answering a request, which can be delayed, the stable passage created by the sacrificial ritual can only exist for a short period of time, so Crane must wait above the gray fog in advance.
"For the time being, I only have the extraordinary material of the colorful lizard dragon pituitary gland, and there are many spiritual materials...... Mr. 'Fool', when the meeting is over, I will immediately try the first case, if it fails, I will go and collect other extraordinary materials, and after I have the harvest, I will inform you in the form of prayer, and determine a time. As he spoke, Alger couldn't help but glance at Miss Justice.
As a "spectator", Audrey instantly understood what he meant, and replied without hesitation:
"If you need to pay extra extraordinary materials, I'll compensate you afterwards, don't you...... I can't guarantee that it's the specific material you're hoping to get. ”
is worthy of being a rich "justice" lady, the "fool" Klein at the head of the bronze table couldn't help but sigh, and said with a low smile:
"The deal is done. ”
He looked at "justice" and thought for a moment:
"When Mr. 'The Hanged Man's attempt is successful, I will tell you about the ritual of requesting the bestow. ”
"Okay!" Audrey is very confident in Mr. Fool's abilities.
After answering, it occurred to her that the exchange of money seemed to be possible in this way, provided that the attempt was successful, of course.
I don't know if things that don't have spirituality will work...... When the attempt is successful, I'll ask Mr. Fool again...... The corners of Audrey's mouth hooked slightly, thinking about the beautiful scene of the future.
Seeing that the topic of sacrifice and giving had come to an end, she pondered for a few seconds before speaking again:
"Mr. 'Fool', I have found two ladies who are suitable for our Tarot Society, they are both extraordinary, they have their own circles and resources in Beckland, and they are secretive enough, and have good personalities, would you like to let them join the party?"
"Justice" wants to elevate its own power within the Tarot Society? This is the most instinctive idea of the "hanging man" Alger.
The Sun Derick was intrigued, and looked sideways at Mr. Fool, waiting for his reply.
Klein was a little embarrassed, he had expected that the members of the Tarot Society should not know each other, and then, each of them would develop a certain number of subordinates to form a relatively tight organizational structure.
In this way, even if a certain member is exposed, captured, or channeled, it will not have much impact on the tarot.
However, Miss Justice's description just happened to hit his weakness, and he was hoping to meet the extraordinary people with different circles and resources in Bakeland, so as to find clues about the Esoteric Order and Lanrius.
By doing it through "justice", the other party will have reservations after all...... However, I do not know if the mere recitation of my name will allow me to pull them into the gray mist...... In order to maintain his image, Klein did not think too much about it and adopted the method of procrastination.
He said gently:
"It's a bit of a scrutiny. ”
"Miss 'Justice', you have made my name known to them and interested in it in a covert and unrevealing way. ”
Seeing that her proposal was close to being accepted, Audrey immediately responded excitedly:
"Yes, Mr. Fool!"
After a few more exchanges, the meeting ended, and "Sun", "The Hanged Man", and "Justice" returned, while Crane remained above the gray mist, waiting for the sacrifice.
