Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Summoning Ceremony

After the Great Mass, Klein followed Nim, the newly inaugurated priest of the "Fools," into the Black Tower.

Nim didn't have the slightest reservation, and gave a detailed description of how many demigods and how many "1" level seals there were in Moon City.

Three demigods...... Five Tier 1 Seals...... Moon City is not weak at all...... It is worthy of the power that can directly obtain the oracle and guard the border...... Moreover, in the beginning, their twenty-two extraordinary paths were relatively complete, and they could effectively cooperate with each other, so that some of the rituals did not need to be asked for outside and were not restricted by the environment...... Well, they have been able to maintain until now without the support of a "0" level seal, and they are indeed outstanding...... If it weren't for the lack of suitable food, they would have been able to survive in the dark for at least hundreds of millennia...... Klein sighed.

At this time, Nim said respectfully:

"God has made all the seals and extraordinary properties, we are willing to sacrifice to the Lord, I wonder which one will please Him more?"

The High Priest just said that in addition to him, the "Night Watchman", Moon City also has a "Predator of Blood" and a "Law Mage", who serve as the "Priest of Lightning" and the "Priest of the Night" respectively.

As for the five "1" level seals, one belongs to the "monster" path, which seems to be a part of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Doom Mage" combined with a little "chaos walker" characteristics, one is a "puppet" from the "xenomorph" path, one is from the original "Red Angel" Medici, which can bring all the power together, one is suspected to be derived from the "trickster" trait, and one does not know which path it corresponds to, but it has a very strong insight ability, but it has been polluted by an unknown and quite dangerous.

Hearing Nim's words, Klein's eyelids jumped slightly, and he said with a smile:

"Serve the Lord with your heart, not as a sacrifice.

The Lord is all-inclusive of the whole world and does not care about these things. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said:

"Of course, if you don't mind, you can take me on a tour so that I can increase my knowledge. ”

"No problem!" replied Nimes without hesitation.

He originally thought that Gelman Sparrow would take a "Level 1" seal during the visit, but who knew that the divine envoy really just wanted to know the specific situation, and did not mean to ask for benefits, he picked up each seal and looked at it, but finally put it back.

At the end of the visit, Klein said to the three demigod priests:

"The opportunity to leave this cursed land has not yet come, and you will need to hold out for a while longer.

"And I will continue my journey to find other survivors and spread the light of the Lord. ”

"Yes, Lord God. The priests of Nimes replied without any embarrassment.

With those mushrooms, they won't be in danger of extinction for at least the next three generations.

After arranging the affairs of Moon City, Crane wore a trench coat, a top hat, and a horse lantern, and walked into the deep darkness outside.

What he's going to do next is actually quite clear, and that is:

Find Kotal, the dark wolf, and hunt the "God of Wishes"!

My wish is to get the extraordinary properties of the "Miracle Master" and the "curtain", and I wonder if He can help me achieve it...... As he walked, Klein teased in his heart.

Seeing that he had escaped the gaze of the residents of Moon City, he dragged another self out of the fog of history.

His body then entered the pores, shifting consciousness to the projection.

This projection in turn summoned the historical pore image of the "Star Staff", and with its extraordinary ability, it descended directly to the place outlined in his mind:

The ancient northern city of Norse has been completely destroyed!

After successfully reaching his destination, the projection quickly disappeared, and Crane's main body returned to the wilderness outside Moon City.

Immediately afterward, he also summoned the "Star Staff" projection, repeated the previous process, and instantly returned to the Norse Ruins.

The main function of the historical pore image he just now is to explore the way, to ensure that the scene that emerges in his mind is consistent with reality, there is no difference, and there is no random effect on the "Star Staff".

Such is the caution of an "ancient scholar".

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

Silver City, in the middle of a quiet, dark training ground.

Colin Iliad, with two straight swords on his back, stood beside him and watched as Derick Berg set up the ceremony and prayed to Mr. Fool to send a Holy Spirit to help.

This is different from the normal summoning ritual, and the corresponding spell is more complicated:

"The great 'fool';

"You are the Lord above the Grey Mist;

"You are the king of yellow and black who rules good fortune.

"I pray for your favor;

"Pray for your gaze;

"Pray for the power of secrecy and change.

"Me!

"In the name of the great 'fool' I call:

"The Holy Spirit who sees everything, the family of the King of Yellow and Black, the traveler of dreams and hearts. ”

Giant words echoed through the altar, and the flames on the top of the candles swelled suddenly, weaving into an illusory door covered in mystical patterns.

The illusory door slowly opened, and a woman wearing a pure white dress and a silver mask walked out, stepping into the void and stepping on the ground step by step.

Her hair was burgundy, and her eyes were golden, clear and deep, as if she could see through everyone's heart.

This is "Justice" Audrey, who uses "lies" to modify her height and the main features that the mask cannot hide.

She came to Silver City in the form of a spirit, to the Land of God's Forsaken.

In fact, the essence of this summoning ritual is not complicated, Klein pulled Audrey's spirit into the gray mist in advance, waited until the "summoning door" was established, and then helped her open it and let her pass, and the whole thing was done.

In other words, descriptions such as "the Holy Spirit who sees everything" are not important, and they can be replaced with "the sleeping princess, the owner of the golden apple, and the previous owner of the crystal slipper" to allow the "righteous" Audrey to come, it only depends on who Klein wants to let through the "Calling Gate", after all, the key point of the ritual is to summon in the name of the "Fool", and use the power of the "Source Castle" to communicate with the Forsaken Land.

Wearing a silver mask, Audrey quietly looked around, and without a trace, she looked at the lightning sky, the dangerous darkness that hidden, and the chief of Silver City, Colin Iliad, not far away.

She immediately withdrew her gaze and nodded to the little "sun":

"It's time to go. ”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart about the other party's height.

Although this can be seen at the Tarot party, the real encounter in reality still makes Audrey in a trance.

She remembered very well that the "sun" was several years younger than herself, and according to Rune's standards, she must be underage at the moment, but she was more than two meters tall, which made Audrey, who had deliberately become taller with the "lie" mask, still have to look up.

Darek no longer hesitated, relaxed, and set his eyes on the golden potion placed on the altar.

Gradually, he became a little trance-like, and scenes involuntarily flashed in his mind:

It was the parents who were lying in the coffin, still alive;

It was the silver straight sword that stabbed hard, it was the blood that splashed on the face and covered the eyes;

It was a heartwarming scene for a family;

It was the crumbling Silver City in the dark;

It is teammates who support each other and use each other as shields;

It was the elders who stood in front of everyone, shielding them from the wind and rain;

It was curse after curse, it was the hope of seeing lightning in the darkness;

It was the longing for more than 2,000 years, day after day, and it was the thirst for light from generation to generation.

Derik's strongest and most reluctant emotions to give up are complex, including anger at reality, nostalgia for the past, pain from the situation, repression precipitated by history, and the desire to save Silver City.

"Justice" Audrey separated these emotions little by little, as if she had experienced the despair and sadness of Silver City, and experienced their unity and sacrifice.

Her golden eyes were sometimes contemplative, sometimes flickering, as if she had grasped something, felt something, but was still confused.

After a while, she saw the Angel of Light with twelve white wings on its back, which was another response from Mr. Fool to Derik the Sun.

Audrey seized the opportunity to attach those strong feelings to the angelic phantom, so that they would not disappear for a short time, would not return, and would not be completely separated from Derrick's body.

"That's it. She didn't open her mouth, letting her voice echo directly into Derrick's heart.

At this point, Derik's eyes became unusually cold, and he no longer seemed to know what happiness was, what sadness was, what pain was, and what depression was.

He then picked up the golden potion in front of him and poured it into his mouth.

This is a demigod potion obtained by smashing the "Darkless Cross".

The seal from the ancient sun god no longer exists, and of course, for Crane, as long as he once had it, it could last forever.

The scorching liquid slid down Darek's throat, filling his entire body and taking possession of his soul in an instant.

Bright rays of sunlight burst out of his body, washing away the residual pollution in his flesh and the emotions that had settled in his soul.

Derick's body became purer and more transparent, like the Holy Spirit made of pure radiance.

His sense of self, his emotional thoughts, are purified and repulsed, and it will not be long before only the instinct of "praising the sun" remains.

At this time, Audrey no longer let the strong emotions of detachment attach to the angelic phantoms, guiding them back to the little "sun".

Scenes resurfaced in Derik's mind, causing him to have unusually mixed emotions.

Once again, he experienced the pain of killing his parents with his own hands, the despair brought about by the situation in Silver City, and the joy of being favored by Mr. "Fool".

It was carved into his bone marrow, the cornerstone of his spiritual world, very strong, very solid, and helped him withstand the last rounds of potion purification.

Finally, Derrick opened his eyes, and they were pure white.

He saw a light remaining in front of him, and instinctively reached out his right hand to try to grab it.

However, that light soon dimmed and subsided.

Darek was stunned for a moment, then clenched his right hand.

Rays of light rose up and enveloped the entire Silver City.

The mythical and legendary noon comes briefly at this moment.

Every resident of Silver City, including Chief Colin Iliad, was stunned by the fact that they had been promoted more than any demigod had ever been promoted.

Sunlight.

This is the sunshine that illuminates the whole city.

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

Ending the summons, Audrey returns to the Grey Mist.

At this time, Mr. "Fool" was gone, and the only thing in the old palace was Gelman Sparrow, who had been here before, intending to observe the ceremony.

"You don't seem to be in great shape?" Klein asked.

Audrey sat down and smiled:

"There was just some hesitation, hesitation and confusion. ”

"It's normal, everyone is like that until they really make up their minds, and there are countless people who hold back and regret. Klein said calmly.

Audrey didn't respond directly to this topic, but said with a light smile:

"Ever since I became a 'spectator', I've always shown the most acceptable side of others and taken care of their most delicate emotions, which is not a bad thing, but then I can't know what my truest self looks like in the eyes of others, I can't uncover the gorgeous clothes, I can't see the rotting flesh hidden underneath, I can't figure out what the problem is.

"I've been trying to show my true state in some detail to see what the attitude of the people around me would be in the current situation, and to see if they still think that I am that kind, kind, and virtuous young lady. ”

At this, she was suddenly silent, and after a few seconds she sighed softly and said:

"The ...... of the chasm"
