Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

Chapter 106 Ceremony
Esther didn't forget that she had a deal with Mister "World", and immediately went out to prepare the props needed for the sacrificial ceremony.

As for the spiritual materials, she plans to buy some from Klein directly. He is many times more familiar with ritual magic than Esther, so these things should be always on hand.

After hearing this request, Klein froze in place for two seconds, and then agreed to Esther's request, only taking a gold pound from her symbolically.The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He sacrificed to me in order to sell me extraordinary materials, so he bought my spiritual materials?What a weird cycle.

Esther didn't know this, and happily went back with her things, and bought all the materials needed for other ceremonies on the way back.

For the sake of safety this time, Esther used light spots to distribute around and draw four thin lines, replacing the process of arranging the spiritual wall.

Esther also has a little tentative mind, wanting to see if The Fool can still connect to her prayers and sacrifices after such isolation.Her plan to do so is audacious, but if the light spot really cuts off the "Fool"'s gaze, the "Fool" will not be aware of such an impiety that offends God's power, and it will have no effect.

After returning to the hotel, after confirming that Xiao Wu had fallen into a deep sleep again and putting it in the bathroom, Esther began to arrange the ceremony.

She first took out a pen and drew the pattern behind the "The Fool" high-back chair on the paper, which was composed of the "eyes without pupils" symbolizing concealment and the "twisted line" symbolizing change, which is the symbol of "The Fool" The symbol, Esther has already firmly remembered it in her mind.

Two sandalwood-scented candles were placed on the low round table, and Esther lit the candles one by one with a match.She didn't use the method that Extraordinary people use spirituality to light the candle wicks in normal rituals. Esther's "spirituality" has always been abnormal, and she is not sure what the consequences of letting those light spots "light" the candles will cause.

Taking out the silver vial that Klein gave her, after unscrewing the bottle, a light and soothing aroma immediately wafted out of it, causing Esther to subconsciously inhale several mouthfuls.She then pours a drop of this liquid onto each candle, and the basic preparations for the ceremony are done.

Esther put the Extraordinary Characteristics of the human skin phantom wrapped in bandages on the table, and she knelt down below, clasped her hands and began to pray in the language of giants:
"O fools who do not belong to this age;

You are the mysterious master above the gray fog;
You are the yellow and black king of luck.

Your faithful servant begs your watch,

I beg you to accept her offering,
I pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom..."

After the first three sentences were uttered, a swirling wind formed around Esther within the area separated by the light, and everything around her began to distort, showing signs of turning into color blocks.

As Esther finished the prayer, she heard an unexplained crackling.

The crazy warning from "spiritual intuition" made Esther close her eyes immediately, and pressed her forehead tightly to the ground, not daring to lift it up.

-

After Esther left with the spiritual materials, Klein drank tea and read the newspaper while waiting for the sound of prayers, ready to go to the bathroom and take four steps backwards at any time.

He did not wait long. Within half an hour, amidst a burst of clear prayers, four black dots appeared on Klein's right hand, and he immediately rushed to the gray mist.

The light yellow ball of light wrapped in a transparent shell, the first time he appeared on the high-back chair, actively descended from mid-air, and circles and circles of light swayed on it, gently nourishing Klein's spirituality.

Klein reached out and touched the shell of the ball of light, but as soon as his fingertips touched it, the shell made a shattering sound and cracked open!
Through the finger-wide gap, a blurry image was suddenly imprinted in Klein's mind. It was a young woman kneeling with her forehead pressed against the ground. She was trembling all over. The dots were wriggling and flowing, like a life-like snake swallowing golden beads, spreading over her head, completely covering the things hidden inside.

It was Esther, and there was an object wrapped in bandages on the altar in front of her.

Except for Esther and the altar itself, everything around is like oil paint that is constantly dissolving and mixing, chaotic and blurred, and it is completely unclear.

Klein couldn't help frowning, but seeing that Esther seemed to be in pain, he quickly put a gray mist on the human skin shadow characteristics she was about to sacrifice, and then immediately withdrew from the perception of the situation inside the light sphere.

The crack on the ball of light was still there, which made its light flicker. Klein attracted a cloud of gray fog to cover it, and the crack actually absorbed a few wisps of gray fog by itself to complete the outer transparent circular shell.

"The gray mist has the effect of sealing this light ball by itself? So the light inside probably didn't belong here..."

Klein was turning a figurative coin in his hand, thinking about the special connection between this light and the "god" on Esther.

-

After the opening full of frantic ravings was closed, it took several minutes for Esther to dare to sit up from the ground.There were still fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and there was pain all over her body that was about to be shredded by a storm.

Holding onto the edge of the low table, Esther could barely support herself to stand up. The things on the altar were gone, obviously taken away by Mister Fool.It's just a simple dual ritual sacrifice, why am I in such pain?If there was such a violent reaction, the considerate Miss "Justice" wouldn't have said nothing...

Is it because of the fear of the "fool" in my mind?It is subject to natural restraint, causing itself to be affected?
This seems like a plausible reason.

Esther massaged her arms and calves, trying to recover from the stiffness.

Is this the power of the gods?
She felt tight in her chest and lungs, coughed twice and took a deep breath.The discomfort on her body gradually eased, and not long after, another blurry scene dyed with thin light entered Esther's mind directly.

The man kneeled respectfully on the ground: "Dear Mister Fool, please help me tell Ms. Lover that the Extraordinary Characteristics of the 'Werewolf' and the gold pound will be kept by you temporarily, and she can perform the ceremony of praying for it at any time..."

"Huh, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, the gift ceremony," Esther couldn't help rubbing her hands, "Let's wait a few days, anyway, I'm not in a hurry now, I don't know how to get so much money Explain to the fellow that you can’t always entrust the gold pound with him, it’s too troublesome.”

I don't know when "The Hanged Man" will be able to contact that craftsman. The Extraordinary characteristic sequence corresponding to "Werewolf" is not too high, and the price of producing the corresponding item should not exceed the funds in my hand.

Esther pondered, putting aside the expectation that she might get a new weapon, she walked into the bathroom, held Xiao Wu in her hand and brought it out.

This is her more serious trouble.

If she could kill Xiao Wu directly, Esther would think about its help during this time, so she hesitated, but under the restriction of not being able to do anything, she was even more worried about it, only worried that one day it would attract someone who seemed to have something The "head of the family" who has a personal enmity.

Esther can only continue to keep Xiao Wu by her side, she has no choice.

During this inner struggle, she couldn't help but think of Xiao Qi.
