The Night Adorer Chapter 111: Promotion Ceremony
Annie walked in a hurry...Sulman was a little puzzled. The other party didn’t seem to have discovered his identity, or the true identity of Ibis, which is really confusing. Why is she running in such a hurry?
Soon, Sulman stopped struggling with this question.
He led Ibis downstairs to the table where the ceremonial materials were set up as Annie said.
Outside the bay window, the morning sun shines through and shines on the two materials on the table, which are contained in glass bottles.
Sulman stepped forward and checked it carefully. There was no problem with the spiritual materials, which fully met his requirements——
"The heart bud of an ancient oak tree, and three water spirit crystals...The weight of the latter is about 30 grams, that is, one water spirit crystal weighs about 10 grams." Suer Man made a detailed confirmation against the things on the bottle. After all, this ceremony was for Ibis.
In case something goes wrong, Sulman will lose a very useful maid............ Well, it should be said that he is a reliable assistant! He silently emphasized in his heart. In the next second, Sulman looked up at the blonde girl, smiled and said to her: "It seems that we have all the materials ready, and we can hold a ceremony for you soon."
"What is the content of the ceremony?" Ibis was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time in her life.
"It's okay to tell you in advance, after all, there is a small request regarding your upcoming ceremony." Sulman recalled the content of the previous life, confirmed the promotion request of the secret mage, and told it to Ibis— —
"When performing the ritual, you must stay in place in the cognition of more than 10 audiences, that is, they think you are staying in place. At the same time, you need to step into the imaginary realm and perform a very short time The body shuttles........ Well, you can understand it as travel."
"Of course, you currently don't have the ability to break into the virtual world...and I don't have it either. After all, the profession does not fit."
"But the problem is not big, because the function of this ritual is to allow you to complete a shuttle with the body of an ordinary person."
"When you travel through the virtual world, you will be invaded by the information state, thereby satisfying the promotion conditions of the'mage' profession. This is the heart of the ancient oak tree. The main function of this spiritual material—— It is to protect you from spiritual information, completely infested and unconscious.........that will lead to failure of the promotion ceremony."
Looking at Ibis, who was a little scared by his explanation, the corners of Sulman's mouth raised, revealing a ‘relief’ smile:
"Don't worry, I will follow you to perform the ritual."
"If an accident happens, trust me, there are enough means to stop the trouble..."
Sulman also has one in his hand, which is derived from the'moving charm' left to him by the mage after the end of the "Heroes of Algarth". By virtue of the power of that charm, the two of them are guaranteed Security is not a problem.
Even if Ibis’s promotion ceremony fails, her life is guaranteed.
The only problem is that it will consume Sulman's hole cards, and considering her own interests, Sulman definitely hopes that she can succeed at the first time.
Fortunately, this is not a ritual to advance to the second level, but a professional ritual to step into the transcendental realm........The difficulty is very small, and all that Sulman does is just to deal with that theoretical , The probability of an accident is less than one in ten thousand.
After all, it is the eternal night world full of magical power. No one can guarantee that it will be foolproof........
Sulman cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents, but he can accumulate his hole cards to deal with the risks of accidents.
"I see, then...then where shall we go to find more than 10 spectators?" Ibis couldn't help being curious.
In response, Sulman smiled slightly, and pointed to the simple household clothes on Ibis.
Under the latter's expression full of question marks, Sulman coughed lightly--
"You can change into a formal evening dress, um, prepare for the noble party tonight."
"It is a ‘target’ organized by the ancient nobles to attract others..."
"Isn't that stage a great place? By the way, you have to dress up beautifully, at least to be worthy of my identity."
The previous words still made Ibis quite agree, until he exposed his nature, made Ibis roll her eyes, gave Sulman a fierce look, and the next moment, Ibis gave him He turned his head and walked towards the bedroom.
.................
At night, Huangdian District, Mosley House District.
Along with the wheel of the carriage and the sound of driving on the concrete road, in the carriage, Sulman looked at the person sitting opposite, obviously dressed up, more coquettish, extremely eye-catching blond hair Maiden.
"Tonight, you can definitely get the attention of more than 10 spectators..." Sulman exclaimed.
Ebis raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her mouth rose unnoticeably. Even the most mature girls would be delighted to hear others praise herself. What's more, this compliment came from the ‘family’ she knew well, and it seemed even more sincere.
"I'm dressed like this, isn't it just to be worthy of your identity?" Ibis put a smile away and blocked him.
Careful woman.......Sulman mumbled in his heart, just as the carriage stopped, and the two got out of the car together.
There is still a magnificent hall ahead, and the weather tonight is very good, there is no usual snow or freezing rain.
Only thin dark clouds obscured the brilliance of the silver moon, and with the help of the gas lamps on both sides of the street, Sulman could see similarly dressed celebrities and merchants walking to the lobby one after another. However, Ibis was really dazzling beside him. Even when he was standing at the entrance, Sulman could feel the regularity, and his eyes fell beside him.
Seeing this, Sulman stretched out his hand to hold the waist of the lady next to him, who was obviously stiff, and he seemed to be struggling.
The most hateful thing is that Sulman's hand gently scratched on the lower abdomen, with a hot itching touch, let Ibis understand that they are in the eyes of everyone, and it is not easy to resist behavior. For a moment, a faint blushing climbed onto her face, and Ibis could only turn her head and glared at Sulman fiercely.
But the distance between the two was too close. Ibis turned her head, not only did not work, but the breath she exhaled, with a girl’s unique fragrance, floated into Sulman’s nose. The smell is very light, but it makes people a little excited.
Fortunately, Sulman’s concentration is very high, just to hold her right hand and scratch again as a sign of punishment, only then half-hugged Ibis, who had some weak legs, and the two of them pretended to be Walk into the hall without incident.
"Mr. Surman, the Moslian family welcomes you."
As soon as she entered the hall, Scarcy, who had been waiting by her side, greeted her, and she led the two into the banquet dance hall.
Long tables based on bright red, lined up on both sides of the hall, are filled with char-grilled turkey, smoked veal steak with fruit, cheese and vegetable soup, raw cut dragontail slices, and bread with honey sauce. ........This is a buffet-style dinner party, and in the center is a huge dance hall. Couples of male and female dancers who have met or just met are dancing waltz in the dance hall, in a melodious and slow rhythm, with the help of Musical charm, they release the emotions in the body.
Sure enough... Sulman glanced at him, and did not see the people such as "Golden Eye" and "Code". It seems that they should have acted quietly, and they have a reason to act as the surrogate Patriarch. Does not appear in the first half of the prom.
On the contrary, when Sulman entered the hall holding his'sister', he immediately attracted a lot of attention. Sulman didn't know how to tell. They came rushing to Ibis, but simply mixed with the nobles. The inner ghost in the circle, Kison will secretly monitor his remaining members.
"As a host, the best way I can entertain you..."
Scarcy made a welcome gesture, inviting them to step onto the dance floor: "Please feel free, I hope you all have fun."
"Thank you."
Sulman thanked the other person, and then took his "sister" to the dance floor. Along the way, many young men took the initiative to say hello, and then asked Ibis to dance. Unfortunately, the latter He shook his head and responded politely:
"The first dance of the evening, I have to dedicate to my respected brother."
The seemingly impeccable reason has become the best umbrella for the two, as well as the perfect acting skills of Ibis, so that Sulman, who has witnessed everything, has an indescribable sense of absurdity.
Of course, one thing Ibis didn’t finish talking about is that she only dances one dance tonight...
"Wh...When will we hold the ceremony?" In order to keep it secret, Ibis had to be close to his ears, and the girly breath that exhaled was blowing, and for a while, Sulman had a An illusion of dizziness.
"Not enough, we must be dazzling enough to attract everyone's attention..." Sulman gently shook his head, shaking off the strange feeling in his heart, and turning around to explain to her: "We It is necessary to ensure that the personal impression stays in their minds long enough, um, the longer the better, in order to ensure the effect of the ceremony."
Actually, the requirements for professional ceremonies are not so strict, except that Sulman strives for perfection.
Ibis didn’t know the truth, so she nodded ignorantly. She only felt that Sulman was quite conscientious, and she was so attentive in this regard........
As a result, before she was moved for a few seconds, the two of them had already stepped onto the dance floor. Suddenly, Sulman peeked at his right hand and moved from the original half-hugging along the waist to the embracing behavior, and he Accompanied by the rhythm of the music, his body began to swing at the pace of the waltz.
"What's wrong? Don't you know how to waltz?" Sulman deliberately stimulated, and finally, he didn't forget to add: "If you can't dance, I can teach you... ...."
"Who...who won't!" Ibis seems to be insulted. She comes from a religious giant, not to mention the common slow-key waltz, even the rarer Latin dance. Good at.
After all, since childhood, there have been female etiquette teachers to teach them etiquette in this area.
Before the voice fell, Ibis's feet turned, stepping on the rhythm very flexibly, matching the rhythm of Sulman's dance.
Both of them have good dancing skills, above the level. At this time, the decisive factor in attracting attention in the dance hall is no longer the dance, but the personal appearance level........ .
Speaking of which, normal people perform professional rituals of "secret mage", and they all pretend to be magicians...Sulman can’t help but think of other people’s rituals as they complete the ritual. There is more than one way.
In fact, most people who are promoted to keep secret mage will pretend to be a "magic", attracting a large number of spectators and then playing "disappear" from their eyes. This is especially true at the western end of the cold north. , The area close to Yongwuhai is a typical example-there are many ancient families over there, mastering the promotion method of the secret mage, as well as the deduction law corresponding to the sub-professional.
In the port city of Yongwuhai, people admire magicians very much. Some magicians even invented large-scale magic such as "Steel Steam Cruise の Disappearance", quite a bit like Mr. David in his previous life. Swaggering sense of style.
Unconsciously, the venue near the two of them became empty. The dancing men and women subconsciously alienated the two of them so as not to become the green leaves that set them off. When the two returned to their senses, the focus of the audience was already Gathered on them.
"Okay...Is it okay?" Ibis's forehead exuded sweat, as if it was fished out of the water, and the whole person became sweaty, and Sulman caressed her waist. The fingers on the back can clearly feel the slippery and greasy touch.
"Well, it should be fine..."
Sulman did not let go. On the contrary, he said in a rather high-profile voice: "Ibis, oh my God! You look tired, I will help you to take a rest, Moslian must have a spare Bedroom."
"Okay.....Okay, brother." Ibis tried her best to smile and cooperated with the other party's performance.
It's really exaggerated........ Ibis muttered in her heart, and ignored the quirky palms on her waist, this... this bastard, I am not an idiot, I don’t need you to pinch Meat to remind me! All... are almost pinched and swollen! Ibis complained silently, wishing to give this **** a blow punch, but considering the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides and the consequences of being suspended, she chose to forgive each other.
So, under the attention of everyone, the two followed the maid into the second floor, next to the separate bedroom prepared for the guests.
Hey........ Many young people who were eager to try, heard the "dialogue" between the two and watched them disappear to the second floor. They were suddenly disappointed, and they turned their gazes very reluctantly. Fortunately, there is still in their minds that Ibis's moving posture in the dance hall, like a brainwashing magic sound divine song, can't be waved all the time, making the young people feel more resentful towards Sulman.
In the bedroom on the second floor, Sulman entered the room with the girl in his arms and immediately closed the door with his backhand.
Then, he took out the medicine that he had prepared long ago from the secret bag--
"Drink it now!"
Ibis supported the wall with one hand, ignoring the soft legs and the inexplicable hotness in her heart. She took the potion and twisted it away, drank it, accompanied by the secret potion with a cold touch. Entering her throat, she felt a chill in herself, and all her emotions faded away.
With an inexplicable bit of reluctance, Ibis looked up and found that the surrounding environment was beginning to become distorted, with a faint illusion of illusion...no! It should be said that her body is breaking away from reality and beginning to merge into the virtual world! And Sulman, who was close at hand, reacted a step faster than her, and directly embraced her with his arms open, and his arms firmly encircled her waist and abdomen——
"Sorry, this is a necessary method in an emergency." Sulman explained, regardless of her reaction, the next moment, the two stepped into the virtual world at the same time, completely separated from the real world.
There is a scene of distorted colors nearby. Ibis looked up, and in the first moment, I could see the small house with a garden. The next second, the small house was stretched and twisted into a cemetery, and beside it, The streets where pedestrians came and went, suddenly turned into a roaring storm ocean.
This is the place where spiritual information gathers. Many residual information after the death of the strong will gather new lives here, or strengthen the entire environment. They may come from the memories of the strong, some are scenes, some are Characters, some are communication screens,
They are full of chaos and faintly maintain a certain order. As a ‘mage’ profession, the latter is in such an illusory ocean, looking for the root of knowledge, and step by step pursuit of extraordinary power.
"Don't read too much, most of them are leftover information from the strong, you will be affected!"
"Keep your mind and consciousness, try to imagine the most memorable scene near you........."
"The virtual world will be guided by your information and lead you to that place!"
The calm and firm reminder sounded from Ebis’ ears, which made her escape from the strange attraction of the fantasy scene, and regained her senses. While Ebis was a little scared, she also felt inexplicably relieved.
For some reason, the arms around the waist don't seem to be that annoying anymore, just like before, at least it can bring her a sense of security...
"Outline the picture as soon as possible, don't be distracted!"
The voice of a soft beast came, and Ibis was awakened suddenly, and hurriedly followed his words to outline a closer and extremely deep scene in her mind.
In the next moment, like in the distorted virtual world, there was an inexplicable suction force, which lined up the roaring storm ocean, lined up the cemetery where plants were growing, and dragged the two floating people. , Go in a certain direction.
During this process, a faint green light emerged from the heart of Ibis, which was full of vitality, resisting the erosion of the information state of the virtual world. As for her hands, there was a luster like'water spirit crystals', as Traction power.
In the dark, in a certain direction behind her, the impressions in the audience's mind have also been turned into precise marks, so that Ibis will not completely lose herself and maintain a more sober self-knowledge.
As for Sulman next to him, he only needs to use spirituality to resist the erosion of information, but Sulman is not a mage professional, and his resistance to this aspect is not as good as a mage. Fortunately, he is a second-order ~ IndoMTL.com ~ The same can persist in the virtual world for a long time.
Throughout the process, Sulman firmly held a silver-gray charm, ready to activate it at any time.
Finally, I don’t know how long it took...
Boom!
The whole environment broke open suddenly, and the cold wind and snow shone on the faces of the two of them. Sulman looked up and realized that this was the first time of the journey. They were locked in the iron cage by the white wolf and deserters. The place in the middle was also the place where he had defrauded the flames, quietly gained power and escaped from the iron cage, facing the'little boy' in the dark.
Here is........ Sulman looked into his arms, and saw the blonde girl opened her eyes, just to look at him, her face was tired, but there was a lack of concealment of joy, this For a moment, Ibis had already been promoted to guardian mage.
