Chapter 299: A Fragment from the Future
"The principle of making a spell is not difficult. The challenge lies in the right ritual materials and the right recipes. ”
Old Vasily looked at Annan, who had just finished arranging the ritual venue, and instructed under the altar to give close guidance: "According to a certain formula, add 'base materials', 'influences' and 'mantra materials' to them and perform the ritual.
"The substrate material itself cannot be involved in the ritual, otherwise it will be destroyed by the ritual. The so-called 'spell recipe' is which spell material and under which influence, and what kind of base material is chosen so that it will not be consumed.
"If the base material is chosen correctly, then the spell can be obtained after the ritual is over."
Following the formula given by old Vasily, Annan drew a seven-pointed star with a stroke on the ground - Annan's strength could keep his hands from shaking easily, so that the line would be straight.
But even so, the seven-pointed star wants to compound the criterion, that is, each angle must be greater than 49 degrees. Even Annan had drawn dozens of times with waste paper before...... There is no guarantee that he will succeed this time.
If it doesn't work this time, I'm going to call on players to help me draw the picture......
Annan complained in his heart.
And while he was concentrating on drawing the line, old Vasily was still talking on the side:
"The influence determines the properties of the spell, which may or may not necessarily be consumed, and generally plays a catalytic role in a fixed field. The strength of the spell directly depends on the remaining unused curse concentration after the ritual. According to this rationale, if you want to improve the quality of a spell, you either need to use a stronger spell material, or you must use a ritual with the lowest possible potency.
"The most common ritual used to make a neutral realm spell like the Blade is Miss Good Luck's series of rituals with the key number of 'seven'.
"Because Miss Good Luck is the god of luck and the god of accidents at the same time, all the rituals in the Lucky Realm are carried out with a constant failure rate of 7% every minute. So what are we going to do...... It is to find a way to extend the time of the ritual after successfully triggering the ritual and communicating with the gods, so that the ritual fails and terminates on its own.
"With 'Primary-Influence: One Step Ahead' as a sacrifice, it is necessary to offer a sacrifice to 'provide uncoagulated blood of those who influence the transcendent' as a guide. It is also made of four materials: "Rust extract of a bronze sword that has been rusted and has seen blood", "Seven air-dried heart valves of any transcendent creature", "The bloody saliva of a pigeon that has just been decapitated", and "A piece of the back of the neck of a bobcat that has survived for more than ten years".
"First paint the middle of the altar with your own blood, then stack the heart valves on top of the blood, using saliva as the glue between the heart valves. Then on top is a layer of pigeon saliva, and on top is the back of the neck of an old bobcat.
"Then drip the rust extract on top to fix the ceremonial field. After fixation, the ritual can survive for half an hour. In order to prevent failure, immediately use any sharp weapon to pierce it and start the ceremony. Because the blade must be fixed vertically until the end of the ceremony, it is easier to fix the blade by performing the ritual on soft ground.
"If all goes well, you can perform the 'Ritual: Good Luck for Refuge', which is a simple refuge ritual where you can designate three consecutive hours of the coming week. If you were supposed to be assassinated during these three hours, then there will be a constant number of coincidences around you during those three hours, avoiding the people who are trying to kill you.
"But this ritual is only valid for those who 'use a weapon' to assassinate you. If it's an indirect way like poison, curse, etc., then it won't trigger. If someone buys the murderer, Your Highness...... This ritual can only see the hired killer, but not the real murderer, and it is more of a reminder to tell you that you are being targeted by the killer. ”
Old Vasily reminded fluently: "I repeat again, Your Highness. In this ritual, the base material that can participate in the ritual without being destroyed by the ritual is the final step using the 'blood-stained weapon'. Even your spell can be used as a base material - as long as the blade of a murder weapon is soaked in blood before it touches two liquids, it will not be destroyed by the ritual until the blood is dried.
"Your Highness, after connecting to Miss Good Luck, remember to keep silent all the time. Wait until the ritual automatically fails, and the spell is finished. ”
"I see."
Annan nodded, and carefully placed the back of the bobcat's neck skin on seven air-dried heart valves—the supernatural material Old Vasily could provide, but the saliva of the pigeon after death had to be fresh.
In order to collect the saliva of the pigeon's death, he had to urgently buy a large number of meat pigeons from the merchants of Castle Water Street, enough to hold a pigeon feast in the evening, so that everyone in the Viscount's Mansion could be fed......
And as for the blood-stained blade—
Annan does have a weapon here that can be used as a base material to "forge".
That is, the spell he got from Nightmare: Gallery...... Bloodstained kitchen knives.
Following the instructions of the elder Vasily, Annan dropped the extract on the skin of the back of his neck.
Before arriving here, Annan had not seen any special effects. If it weren't for the fact that old Vasily hadn't called a stop, Annan would have even thought that he had failed somewhere......
But after the extract dripped off, Annan suddenly felt a strange heat.
There was a burning sensation in his heart, but it wasn't pain. It's more like the warm burning sensation of soaking in pepper water.
The heat quickly stabilized, and then began to flow upwards until the back of Annan's neck was located.
Strictly speaking, this was the first ceremony that Annan performed.
"Quick, Your Highness!"
Old Vasily reminded in a loud voice.
Without thinking, Annan drove the "blood-stained kitchen knife" that he had prepared long ago through the eight layers of material and nailed it straight into the ground.
Boom.
The steady flow of heat in Annan's neck suddenly jumped and disintegrated. It's like being pierced through the abdomen with a knife blade...... A warm sensation soaks the body from the back of the neck.
And the part of the heat that poured into his brain made Annan have a strange hallucination in front of his eyes.
Images that flowed like slides appeared in front of his eyes.
Even though Annan's perception has stepped into the transcendent realm in half a step, he can still barely see a few fragments of it:
The ground in front of the stray children melted and collapsed;
The delicious wind goose crouched in the dungeon, and in front of him was a wizened old man;
Annan stood in front of Kaphne, his right hand reaching forward slightly;
Philip Noah gulped down sugar;
And......
Finally, the scene stops at a young girl whom Annan has never seen before.
She carried a boxy sketchpad on her back, and her right hand led Annan, who had just reached her chest.
As if noticing the prying gaze, she frowned slightly and glanced back.
Annan noticed that she had ice-blue vertical pupils, and long silky-white hair with no variegation and no half messy hair, and her face was somewhat similar to Annan's, but her temperament was a little cold.
But the most striking thing was the two white dragon horns on her forehead, which slanted upwards like lightning.
