my age of magic

Chapter 1633 182. Soul Ritual
Master Bruce squatted on the ground, brushing the dust off the stone slab with his hands, and there were some carved patterns in it.

Katerina, Ying Li and I also squatted down to help, and quickly cleaned out the stone slabs above the altar. These slates seemed to depict some kind of ceremony being held on the altar, and countless criss-crossing stone grooves were full of it. Throughout the slab, the grooves seemed to form a pattern I had never seen before.

Bruce sat on the stone on the edge of the altar, spread his hands and made a helpless gesture, and said to me: "In fact, our luck is not bad. This should be a god-blessing altar for blessings. According to the altar's magic slate According to the bas-relief, if you want to hold a soul ceremony on the Altar of God's Blessing, you need the Nephalan priest to sacrifice your own blood, unfortunately, I am not a Nephalan."

The eyes of Yingli, Katerina, Helena, and Becky fell on me at the same time, and their eyes were full of worries that could not be concealed.

"Need to sacrifice my blood?" I raised my head, looked at Master Bruce and asked.

Master Bruce said very directly: "Yes, only the blood of the Nephalan can make this altar work."

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the reliefs at his feet, and I noticed the picture painted by that relief, which showed the picture of the sacrifice vaguely enough. It was four old priests standing on the top of the altar at the same time. Cut off his own wrist, let the blood flow on the altar, a person kneels in the middle of the altar, and above his head appears an angel with wings spread, the angel shines brightly in the picture, and his hands are praying on his chest With a hood on his head, his face cannot be seen clearly.

I hesitated for a moment before asking Master Bruce: "Master Bruce, I really want to know, if this is not the Altar of God's Blessing used by the Nephalan to pray for blessings, but the Altar of God's Punishment to save souls, would you like to open that altar?" As for the altar, do you also need to sacrifice the blood of the Nephalan?"

Mr. Bruce was sitting on the edge of the top of the altar, he was slightly stunned when he heard my question, then shook his head and said to me: "No need."

Seeing me staring at him, Master Bruce continued: "If the soul awakening ceremony is held on the God's Punishment Altar, according to the law of equivalence between demons, the sacrifice we need to sacrifice should be a pure soul."

"..." Everyone on the altar fell silent.

If the Altar of God's Punishment is regarded as an altar for offering sacrifices to demons, then the Altar of God's Blessing should be an altar for offering sacrifices to angels. Sacrificing a person's soul is far more cruel than offering some blood, but the biggest problem now is Just couldn't find any more Nephalem.

Only myself, I rubbed my stiff face with my hands, at this moment, I thought the smile on my face must be ugly.

"Heh, Lord Bruce, how much blood do I need to donate?" I think Lord Bruce asked.

Probably this is what everyone on the altar is most concerned about.

"It's difficult to make an estimate." Master Bruce looked at me and said very seriously: "If you decide to start the soul awakening ceremony, then before the altar is activated, you need to sacrifice your blood to the altar without my signal , you can’t stop, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted, can you do it?”

I took a deep breath, not daring to look at Yingli and Katerina behind me.

Just as I was about to answer, Master Bruce walked up to me at this moment, patted my shoulder with his hand, and said to me: "Don't rush to answer me, think carefully before making a decision, I'll turn around again, maybe There are other ways to unlock it.”

……

Ying Li and I sat side by side on the stone steps at the top of the altar, looking up at the picturesque valley in front of us, the dense jungle beyond the big crack looks like a green carpet, hanging from the big crack Dozens of waterfalls, amidst rumbling roars, those waterfalls rushed into the abyss.

The ruins of the city in front of us are surrounded by dozens of pinnacles. Originally, this was the territory of a group of flying dragons. Although it was reduced to ruins, it was well protected. Up to now, we can still find some Nephalan people in the ruins traces left behind.

Ying Li rested her head on my shoulder. I knew she was full of worry and worry, but she didn't say it out loud.

I held her shoulders, and I could only bite the bullet and say to her: "For so many years, I have been preparing for today's ceremony, so... If you want to persuade me, I can only say 'sorry'! "

"Have you decided yet?" she asked, turning her head to look at my face.

I nodded firmly and said: "Yes, I hope to see her come back to life, no matter if she is from the Grimm Empire or an elemental spirit abandoned by the elemental world, as long as she can restore her incomplete memory and wake up, that's a good idea." That's my goal."

"Then do it."

Ying Li said to me very bluntly, but the look in her eyes was not as blunt as her words.

I held her hand tightly, but found that her palm was full of sweat.

"Well, trust me, nothing will happen." I wanted to make the topic a little easier, so I said, "If I can wake up Sister Guoguo this time, maybe I can ask Lord Bruce to separate the princess in your body." Come out, we still have her Janna murloc body preserved for her!"

Hearing what I said, Ying Li stared at me fiercely, and said with a serious expression: "Then... I also have a decision."

"What?" I asked her.

At this moment, Yingli's pupils are constantly changing between black and sea blue, so I can't tell whether the person sitting next to me is Yingli or Princess Ariel. The flames and the sea water are constantly switching, and even the voice seems to be two people saying at the same time:
"I don't want /Princess Ariel/ to go back into her (me) body, I think this is actually quite good, although I feel that I need to share everything with her, but occasionally I can get a double share Happy, and she (I) doesn't want to be a mermaid anymore, it's a mutual decision between me (her) and her (me)."

Some words are actually the voices of two people, I don't know how Yingli did it.

I rubbed my forehead with some headaches, and tried to persuade her: "Actually, the two soul awakening ceremonies don't need to be held at the same time. You can wait for me to fully recover and be fully prepared before proceeding. Don't worry that I will Having been sucked dry of blood, I have orc blood in my body, have a strong self-healing power, and there is Su..."

Ying Li didn't say anything, just looked at me calmly.

I know how stubborn Ying Li Xin is, who has a gentle personality. When she insists on doing something, I should shut up.

……

Eight barbarian slaves carried a huge ice coffin slowly up the steps. Their heavy iron boots stepped on the stone steps of the altar. Every step they took, the cornerstones on those steps seemed to be cracking continuously. The ice coffin was seven or eight meters long and two to three meters wide. In the hot wild rainforest, this ice monument was carried out by barbarians from Xinliu Valley, and it was constantly emitting cold air.

The translucent ice coffin sealed this sister Guoguo who had evolved into the spirit of ice element. Invisible water element chains were worn inside the ice tablet, forming a sealing circle to imprison her. Those water element chains were only water element Only people with a certain degree of affinity can perceive it.

When the ice monument was carried out of Xinliu Valley by the barbarian slaves, Teacher Heidi followed the ice monument all the way. At this moment, she released the power of her powerful ice element, turning herself into a body of ice element, and her whole body Looking like an ice sculpture, she looked at Sister Guoguo expressionlessly, but everyone could feel the strong emotion bursting out of her empty eyes.

When I was on the Pai Plateau, I never thought that Jambach would have such a terrible "rival in love", and I don't know where that guy and Viru went. I wrote to him Those few letters were like a big sea. Originally, he should have been present for this soul awakening ceremony no matter what.

Although Sister Guoguo in the ice coffin still retains her last appearance at this moment, she is completely made of ice element, which fits incomparably with Teacher Heidi's current appearance.

On the other side of the ice coffin, followed by sisters Annie and Su.

Seeing that the ice coffin that sealed Sister Guoguo was carried out by strong barbarian slaves, Annie and Su sisters finally realized that this seemingly incredible soul awakening ceremony was about to take place, and Sister Guoguo was about to emerge from the ice coffin. After waking up inside, the two of them followed beside the ice coffin, looking at the translucent ice coffin in a dazed way. Under a certain angle of sunlight refraction, they could roughly see the blurred outline of Sister Guoguo.

Lord Bruce stood on the altar wearing the Sharon magic robe that symbolized the identity of the magister. He had already put away the devil's fang staff, and now he was holding a curved silver horn in his hand—"Soul Horn ', this is what I borrowed from Justus, the descendant of the siren. The whole horn looks like a curved morning glory. Waves of magical halos rippling from the horn of the soul, which makes me The world around me feels a little unreal.

Seeing me follow the ice coffin up to the altar again, Master Bruce took a breath and asked me in a deep voice: "Decided?"

"Yes, Lord Bruce." I replied calmly.

Master Bruce didn't say anything. He turned around and walked to the center of the altar, took out a pocket, and took out high-level magic crystals from it. One by one, they were inlaid on several nodes of the altar's stone groove, and the entire altar immediately Full of magic.

Lord Bruce asked those barbarian slaves to carry the ice coffin to the center of the altar. The ice coffin fell to the ground with a bang, and the entire top of the altar shook slightly.

The barbarian slaves were a little afraid of Teacher Heidi, and when they retreated, they always avoided her from a distance.

After arranging the twelve high-level magic crystals, Mr. Bruce came to me, took the soul gem from my hand, and put it on the ice coffin.

Immediately afterwards, he said to me: "Show your most powerful state, so that the blood flowing from your body will be full of powerful magic, and maybe this altar will be activated faster..."

I nodded.

He walked in front of Su again, looked at Su with somewhat complicated eyes, and said to her: "You have to use the strongest healing technique, only the power of the holy prayer can make him recover quickly in a short time."

Su also nodded solemnly.

Then he walked up to Annie and Katerina, and said to them, "If you two keep cutting his wrists, under the strong healing technique, his wounds will heal extremely quickly. Slit his arm so he can keep his wrist bleeding."

After saying this, he took a deep look at Katerina.

I chanted the spell softly, and released the four stone pillar totems. The four-meter-high stone pillar totems stood at the four corners of the altar.

Master Bruce looked at me with some surprise. He probably didn't expect that I could release the totem power of the orc shaman.

Then, there was a golden wave at my feet, and the sea spread to the top of the altar, with dark clouds rolling over my head, electric snakes surging, and a big green mountain emerging behind me, and countless tornadoes passing by on the golden sea—this is mine. Although some knights were a bit majestic, Lord Bruce looked calm.

A wing made of countless electric arcs connected in series and a wing made of white feathers made of countless wind whirls broke through the wall from the left and right shoulder blades of my back, and unfolded behind me with a "whoosh", and I was actually levitating at this moment Half a foot from the ground, the violent electric wings detonated the electric snakes in the dark clouds above my head, and those electric snakes actually formed countless thunder waterfalls behind me.

Countless whirlwinds revolved around my body non-stop.

I took out a thin-skinned knife and gently cut open my wrist. The blood flowed down the arm into the groove on the altar floor. Unfortunately, after only a few seconds, the wound on my wrist began to heal quickly.

Katerina and Annie stood on the left and right sides of my body. Katerina didn't hesitate, and continued to slit my wrist with the dagger in her hand, letting my blood continue to flow out. Under any treatment, the wound on my wrist will heal at a speed visible to the naked eye... I can only imitate Katerina, gritted her teeth, and cut my wrist with a pale face.

The two of them are going to keep cutting my wrists...

I found that as the blood kept flowing into the stone trough on the altar, Annie's face became paler and paler, while Katerina's eyes became scarlet...

Su sat opposite me, with a complicated expression on his face, not daring to hesitate for a moment, and began to treat me quickly.

I don't know how long it took in this state, until my consciousness became a little blurred, and I heard Lord Bruce whispering in my ear: "Ji Jia, can you still persist?"

I forced myself to lift my spirits and stimulate my body's magical talent—a wave of mana, and waves of water elemental mana poured into my body...

Just when my consciousness became a little slack, I vaguely heard Mr. Bruce say: "It's ok..."

Anne stopped her hands palely, and Katerina quickly took out a tourniquet to bandage my wound.

My eyes fell on Mr. Bruce, and I saw him walking to the ice coffin and stretching out his hand to press it, only to hear a curse quickly spit out from his mouth, the hand that was placed on the ice coffin actually stretched into the ice, Under our watchful eyes, we tore off the chain of ice element sealed on Sister Guoguo's body.

The next moment, Sister Guoguo in the ice coffin suddenly opened her eyes. Obviously, the ice elemental spirit has no pupils, but at that moment I clearly felt her eyes open.

The ice coffin as solid as gold and stone seemed to be rubbed by an invisible big hand. The ice coffin slowly transformed into the body of Sister Guoguo. An ice sculpture more than six meters high was erected on the altar. Sister Guoguo's eyes were somewhat empty. Sweeping across everyone on the altar, he opened his hands and let out a sharp scream that pierced the soul.

That kind of soul shock hit my spiritual sea, making me a little dizzy at this moment.

Master Bruce picked up the soul gem that fell on the altar, looked at the ice elemental spirit of Sister Guoguo in the center of the altar with a serious expression, and pressed the soul gem in his hand into the body of the ice elemental spirit of Sister Guoguo...
