Part 6 The Light-Exporter Chapter 77 – The Summoning Ceremony
After the high mass, Klein followed the newly appointed “Fool” priest Nim into the black tower.
Nim did not have the slightest reservation, and described in detail how many demigods there were in Moon City, and how many level 1 seals there were.
Three demigods …… five “1” level seals …… Moon City is not weak at all ah …… worthy of being able to directly Obtaining an oracle and guarding the borders …… Moreover, initially, their twenty-two extraordinary pathways were relatively complete and could effectively cooperate with each other, allowing some of the rituals to not need to be sought out or restricted by the environment …… Well, they were able to do so in an environment that was worse than Silver City’s, and there were no “0” level seals. If not for the lack of suitable food, they would have been able to hold out in the darkness for at least a few hundred to a thousand years… …Klein listened with a burst of emotion.
At this time, Nim said respectfully:
”Lord God-Emperor, all the seals and extraordinary characteristics, we are willing to offer them to the Lord, I wonder which one pleases k more?”
The High Priest had just said that besides him, there was also an “Iron Blood Knight” and a “Law Mage” in Moon City, who served as the “Lightning Priest” and the “Lightning Mage” respectively. “Lightning Priest” and “Night Priest” respectively.
As for the five Level 1 Seals, one belonged to the “Monster” pathway, and seemed to be part of the extraordinary characteristics of the “Doom Mage” combined with a bit of the “Chaos Walker” characteristics, and one belonged to the “Monster” pathway, and one belonged to the “Chaos Walker” characteristics. One belongs to the “monster” path, which seems to be part of the extraordinary characteristics of the “Doom Mage” combined with a bit of the “Chaos Walker” characteristics, one is a “puppet” from the “Fae” path, one is from the “Red Angel” Medici’s gift, which can make all the people’s strengths come together, and one is suspected to be the most powerful seal. One is suspected to be a variation of the “Trickster” trait, and there is another one that does not know which pathway it corresponds to, which has a very strong insight ability, but has been contaminated by an unknown source, and is quite dangerous.
Hearing Nim’s words, Klein’s eyelids slightly jumped and said with a smile:
”Serve the Lord with your heart, not as a sacrifice.
”The Lord embraces the entire world and will not care about these things.”
At that, he paused for a moment and said:
”Of course, if you guys don’t mind, you can take me on a tour so that I can grow in insight.”
”No problem!” Nim replied without hesitation.
He originally thought that Germaine Sparrow would take away a “1” grade seal during the tour, but who knew that this Lord God-Emperor really just wanted to learn about the specifics, with no intention of asking for favors, and he picked up and looked at each of the seals, but eventually put them back.
When the tour was over, Klein said to the three Demigod Priests:
”The opportunity to leave this cursed land has yet to come, so you will need to hold on for a while longer.
”And I will continue my journey to find other survivors and spread the light of the Lord.”
”Yes, Lord God-Emperor.” Nim and the other priests responded without any difficulty at all.
With those mushrooms, they wouldn’t have a crisis of overthrow for at least the last three generations.
After arranging things in Moon City, Klein walked into the deep darkness outside wearing a trench coat and a bowler hat and carrying a horse lamp.
What he was going to do next was actually quite clear, and that was:
Find Kotal, the Ebony Wolf, and hunt the “God of Wishes”!
My wish is to get the “Miracle Worker” extraordinary characteristics and the “curtain”, I do not know k can help me realize …… walking, Klein in his heart flirted with a sentence.
Seeing that he had already escaped the gaze of the residents of Moon City, he pulled his other self out of the fog of history.
His essence then entered the orifice and allowed his consciousness to transfer to the projection.
The projection summoned the image of the historical pore of the “Staff of the Stars”, and with its extraordinary ability, it descended directly to the place outlined in his mind:
The ancient northern city of Nos, which had been completely destroyed!
After successfully arriving at his destination, the projection quickly disappeared, and Klein’s main body returned to the wilderness outside the Moon City.
Immediately after that, he also summoned the “Star Staff” projection and repeated the previous process, instantly returning to the ruins of Nos.
The main function of the historical pore image he had just used was to explore the path, to ensure that the scene that appeared in his mind was consistent with reality, and that there was no difference, so as not to cause the “Star Staff” to produce random effects.
This is the caution of an “ancient scholar”.
……
Silver City, in the center of the quiet and dark training ground.
Colin Iliad, carrying two straight swords, stood by the side and watched Derek Burger set up the ritual and prayed to Mr. Fool to send a Holy Spirit to help.
It was different from the normal summoning ritual, and the corresponding incantation was more complicated:
”Great ‘Fool’;
”You are the Lord above the gray mist;
”You are the yellow and black king who reigns over good fortune.
”I pray for your favor;
”I pray for Your watchful eye;
”Pray for the power of concealment and change.
”I!
”I invoke in the name of the great ‘Fool’:
”The Holy Spirit who sees all, the favored one of the King of Yellow and Black, the traveler of dreams and hearts.”
A giant phrase echoed within the altar, and the fire at the top of the candle swelled violently, interweaving into an illusory door covered in mysterious patterns.
The illusory door slowly opened, and a woman in a long, pure white dress and a silver mask stepped out, stepping into the void and onto the ground one step at a time.
Her hair was reddish in color, and her eyes were golden, both clear and deep, as if she could see through everyone’s heart.
This was Audrey “Justice”, who had used “Lies” to modify her height and the main features that her mask could not hide.
She came to Silver City in the form of a spirit, to the land of the Forsaken.
In fact, the essence of this summoning ceremony is not complicated, Klein pulled Audrey’s spirit into the gray mist in advance, and when the “summoning door” was established, he opened it for her and let her pass through, and the whole thing was done.
That is to say, “the Holy Spirit who sees everything” and other descriptions do not matter, replaced by “sleeping princess, the owner of the golden apples, the last owner of the crystal shoes” can also make “justice”. It all depends on who Klein wants to let pass through the “summoning door”, after all, the key point of the ceremony is to summon in the name of the “Fool”, and use the power of the “Source Castle” to communicate with the godforsaken The key point of the ceremony is to summon in the name of “Yugi” and use the power of the “Source Castle” to communicate with the Abandoned Land.
Wearing a silver-white mask, Audrey quietly looked around, traces of the sky, the hidden danger of the darkness and not far from the Silver City Chief Colin Iliad.
She then withdrew her gaze and nodded to the little “sun”:
”You may begin.”
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but mentally lament the other party’s height.
Although this could be seen during the Tarot Gathering, actually encountering it in reality still made Audrey go into a trance.
She remembers very clearly, “Sun” is several years younger than herself, according to Rune’s standards, it must be underage, who knows that it has a height of more than two meters, which makes the use of “lie” mask deliberately become taller Audrey can only look up.
Derek no longer hesitated, relaxing his spirit, casting his eyes on the golden-colored magic potion placed on the altar.
Gradually, he became a bit dazed, and an image involuntarily flashed within his mind:
That was his parents who were lying inside the coffin, still alive;
That was the silver straight sword that stabbed down heavily, and that was the blood that splashed onto his face and blinded his eyes;
That was the once cozy scene of a family;
That is the silver city that shook in the darkness;
That of teammates supporting each other and being each other’s shield;
That of the elders who stood in front of all of them, holding back the storm;
That was curse after curse, that was the hope of seeing lightning in the darkness;
That which had been expected day after day for more than two thousand years, that which had been the thirst for light for generation after generation.
Derek’s strongest and most unwilling to give up the emotion is very complex, contains the reality of anger, nostalgia for the past, due to the situation of the pain, history precipitated by the repression, as well as the desire to save the Silver City.
”Justice” Audrey separated these emotions little by little, as if experiencing all over again the despair and sadness of Silver City, experiencing their unity and sacrifice.
Her golden eyes sank and twinkled, seeming to grasp something, to feel something, but still confused.
After a while, she saw twelve angels of light with white wings on their backs, another response from Mr. Fool to Derek the Sun.
Audrey seized the opportunity to attach those strong feelings to the angelic silhouette, so that they would briefly not fade away, would not return, and would not be completely separated from Derek’s body.
”It’s okay.” She didn’t open her mouth, letting her voice echo directly into Derek’s mind.
At this moment, Derek’s eyes became unusually cold, as if he no longer knew what was happy, what was sad, what was painful, and what was depressing.
He then picked up the golden potion in front of him and poured it into his mouth.
This was a demigod magic potion obtained by crushing the “Darknessless Cross”.
The seal from the ancient sun god no longer existed, but of course, for Kraven, as long as he had it, it would last forever.
The searing, raging liquid slid down Derek’s throat and instantly filled his entire body and took over his soul.
Bright ray after bright ray of sunlight burst forth from within him, washing away the remaining contamination within his flesh and blood and the emotions that had settled in his soul.
Derek’s body grew purer and more translucent, like a holy spirit made of pure light.
His self-consciousness, his emotional thoughts, were purified and rejected, and it would not be long before only the instinct of “praising the sun” would remain.
At this time, Audrey no longer let the stripped off strong emotions attached to the angelic shadow, and guided them to flow back to the small “sun”.
A scene resurfaced in Derek’s mind, causing him to experience an extraordinary complexity of emotions.
Once again, he experienced the pain of killing his parents with his own hands, the despair brought by the situation in Silver City, and the joy of being favored by Mr. Fool.
It was etched into the marrow of his bones, and was the cornerstone of his mind, very strong, very firm, and helped him resist the last few rounds of the potion’s purifying power.
Finally, Derek’s eyes opened to a pure white.
He saw a light lingering in front of him, and instinctively reached out his right hand in an attempt to grab it.
However, the light quickly dimmed and subsided.
Derek was stunned for a moment, and then he clenched his right hand.
A ray of light then rose up, enveloping the entire Silver City.
The mythical noon briefly descended at this moment.
Every Silver City resident, including Chief Colin Iliad, looked dumbfounded, and this shocked them more than any demigod promotion in the past.
Sunlight.
This was the sunlight that illuminated the entire city.
……
Ending the summoning, Audrey returned to the gray mist.
At this time, Mr. “Fool” had already disappeared, and inside the ancient palace, there was only “World” Germaine Sparrow, who had been here before, intending to observe the ceremony.
”You don’t seem to be in too good of shape?” Klein asked of his own accord.
Audrey sat down and smiled:
”There’s just some wandering, hesitation and confusion.”
”That’s normal, it happens to everyone before they actually make up their mind, and there are countless people who back out and backslide.” Klein said calmly.
Audrey didn’t respond to the topic directly, turning to a light smile:
”Since becoming an ‘audience’, I’ve always been in front of others to show their most acceptable side, taking care of their most delicate emotions, which isn’t a bad thing, but in this way I can’t know what my truest self looks like in the eyes of others, I can’t unveil that gorgeous clothing and see underneath the rotting flesh and blood hiding underneath, unable to figure out what the problem was.
”I’ve been trying lately to reveal my true state in some details, to see what the attitude of the people around me would be in the current situation, to see if they still think I’m the same kind, amiable lady with a high moral character.”
Speaking here, she was suddenly silent for several seconds before she sighed softly and said:
”The chasm ……”
