The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 161: Ritual: Void Spirit Teaching

Annan picked up the piece of hairy cowhide that had been processed in advance and cut into the size of a handkerchief, and sniffed it gently.

It seems that for Annan's convenience, the unique fur smell on the cowhide has been eliminated as much as possible.

Annan put [Dark Blue Guardian] aside.

He picked up the slender crystal rod engraved with complex patterns... Annan glanced at it, it seemed to be some kind of star map.

It looks so high-end.

He sighed silently.

Although Annan had hardly performed any rituals, his body was moving very naturally.

Annan gently uncorked the brown vial containing "Snake's Tears", inserted the crystal rod into it, fully dipped it in, and placed it on top of the cowhide.

After it sheds "one" tear, dip it back into the vial. Repeat this until three drops fall. After being soaked in three drops of tears, the cowhide seemed to have remained unchanged, except that all the tears on it were suddenly sucked in.

——In this way, the simple seal lifting ceremony is already half completed.

Then, Annan turned the **** and lit the green light on the table, a success.

After igniting a slender and stable flame, Annan used a large tweezers to pick up the "Dark Blue Guardian" and placed it on the fire to roast slowly and evenly.

About every three or four seconds, Annan would touch the ring with different fingers of his left hand to test the temperature.

The most difficult thing about the ritual is that many of its indicators are not clear - such as how many steps to take, to what extent it is heated, to what extent it is cooled... it sounds like "appropriate amount" is as metaphysical as it sounds. Because of the high cost, danger, and differences in materials used in mysterious rituals, no one dares to quantify them.

So in many cases, we have to rely on instinct and luck.

Fortunately, the temperature required in this ceremony is not too high.

After it reached the level of "slightly hot but not red", Annan immediately took it away from the fire and completely wrapped it in treated cowhide. He held the cowhide bag holding the ring with both hands. Gently roll it between your palms and wipe it like a ball of Lantern Festival.

"...huh?"

Annan let out a light sigh.

As soon as he wiped it twice, he suddenly felt that something was not right in his hand.

It's like a gem was suddenly broken off...

...I won’t rub the gems off, right?

Annan quickly opened the cowhide bag, only to find that the blue gem had fallen out.

Not even just gems. The original sterling silver part was also directly erased. It's like the layer covering it has been wiped away. Every time you wipe it, you can see that a piece of the silver shell has been wiped away. After just two or three wipes, the part that originally fixed the gem has been wiped away. . That's why the gem just fell out.

As Annan wiped further, the silver traces remaining on it were easily erased. The silver dust fell down and was all stained on the cowhide.

The ring itself reveals a new essence.

——It is a slender female ring made of dark blue stones.

Annan subconsciously raised his head and looked at the female Winter Hand named "Zhuo Ya".

The shape of the ring on the ring finger of her left hand looks almost exactly the same as this ring.

The only difference besides the color is that the ring in Annan's hand does not exude that extremely dangerous cold air. The biting cold air would even freeze the fingers off if it weren't for the disabled wizard.

Although the ring in Annan's hand was still very cold, it was roughly like a metal object outside in winter... and was safe for ordinary people to touch.

Of course, if you lick it, it may not be so safe.

After Annan finished wiping, its prompt also changed:

[Deep Blue Guardian, Lily Rasputin’s Secret Ring]

[Type: Ring/Ritual Props (Gold)]

[Description: Lily Rasputin’s secret ring, its seal has been completely lifted]

[Effect: Wear it to trigger the ritual: Void Spirit Teaching]

[Ethereal Teaching: In front of your eyes, the illusion of "Lily Rasputin", the host of the ceremony, will appear. She will explain some "knowledge" to you; this knowledge is a catalog, and you can directly Learn a complete part of any type of knowledge; but after it is extracted by you, other people will not be able to inherit this item when they use this ritual again]

That’s it.

Annan put the [Dark Blue Guardian] on the ring finger of his left hand without hesitation.

In his eyes, the ring suddenly burst out with intense white light, and countless particles of light dust drifted out from the ring, slowly condensing in front of him. At this time, Annan quickly turned back and checked the other people's eyes. pupil.

Neither Ivan nor Zhuo Ya saw this abnormality.

Is it a complete illusion?

Soon, that light condensed into a woman sitting on a chair.

She looks young, probably in her early twenties.

Annan subconsciously glanced at the portrait on the bedside.

"Lily Rasputin" is about 70% similar to his mother Anya, and she is also a beauty; but her temperament does not look as cold and noble as Anya.

Lily's impression is more "cute". There was a small flower in her hair, which was the same silver-purple flower in the sea of ​​flowers when Annan and Kaifni first met.

...In this way, the flaws in Don Juan's appearance should be Old Crow's fault.

This thought came to Annan's mind for the first time.

According to their true blood relationship... Don Juan Geraint should be regarded as Annan's cousin.

Although Don Juan's appearance can be regarded as more than delicate, compared with Annan and Maria, it is obviously more than one level behind. ~IndoMTL.com~ If you think about it carefully, Old Crow is the real spy agent - his appearance is completely ordinary. Even Annan's memory could not remember what the old crow looked like.

Eugene Geraint's almost magical "ordinariness" may also make people forget his appearance, but at least they can be aware of it. But there was really nothing unusual about Old Crow... Annan had even forgotten his back and voice.

This strange talent is indeed a gift to espionage personnel.

But it was precisely because of his drag that the appearance of Lao Crow's sons, who might have been pretty good at first, dropped a lot...

But speaking of it... Old Crow and Lily must be more than twenty years apart, right?

"Ah ah ah, can you hear me?"

Lily Rasputin opened her mouth, looked at Annan and said a few words.

Her voice is light and elastic, reminiscent of a teenage innocent girl.

Before Annan responded, she said to herself: "Although I don't know who will open this ring... But I want to make it clear first that it was not Euphemia Melvin. I kidnapped her, and it wasn’t me who killed her!

"We're very good friends. This is our deal... swapping lives. It's a pretty crazy deal, right?"

When Lily said this, she stuck out her tongue: "If dad knew that I came here to marry an old man, he would break my legs!

"But I think...by the time this ring is opened, Dad will no longer be able to see it."

When she said this, her expression was a little lonely.

But Lily quickly cheered up: "The first secret I want to explain is the truth about the transaction between me and Yuffie——

“Actually, from the very beginning, I knew I wouldn’t live long.”
