The Whispering Verses Chapter 2903: Devil Summoning
Chapter 2902 Demon Summoning
"Rejuvenation without any price? This is much better than the curse of time. Vanessa, you actually encountered such a good thing?"
This is what the little witch said when she visited the bedridden duchess. She was not teasing, but really envious. After passing the tea cup to Tifa beside the bed, she touched her face while saying:
"How come I haven't encountered this kind of thing? Look at you, Vanessa. Not only are you the first witch among us to be promoted from the twelfth level, but now you have even become the youngest witch of our generation. .Are you still unhappy about this? ”
So the witch of the earth herself didn’t know what kind of emotion she should maintain.
As it happened that today was Monday, Shade planned to visit the forest elves to collect gifts and complete the ceremony in the woodland.
Normally, demon summoning rituals need to be completed late at night, and many even strict requirements must be completed at midnight. However, the safe version of the ritual modified by Dr. Schneider must be completed within two hours before and after noon, which is why Shade dared to actually try it.
The turmoil of the high-ring warlocks did not affect the life of the elf lady who took care of the unicorns and chocobos in the woodland. No matter how special she was, she was still far away from the Thirteenth Ring, and Shade suspected that she also had Sufficient time resists immunity to this effect.
"I wonder how Amelia is doing now."
When he saw Miss Elf teasing the unicorn from a distance in the forest, Shade sighed again.
In addition to the four "pure girls" who were to help with the ceremony, he was followed by more than a dozen girls from the middle ring and three girls from the high ring.
Vanessa followed closely behind Shade, her hair tied into a big braid that almost reached the back of her knees. She put on a small dress that fit right now, but it was not provided by Agelina. Although Agelina's height could not be compared with Lesia, she was at least 1.6 meters tall.
The skirt she was wearing was created by Flora using the transformation technique to shrink normal women's clothes. Flora must have had a hard time holding back her laughter at that time.
Although the pointed-eared elf seemed to be far away from any forces, she was also aware of the commotion this morning, and even knew that Sister Qisara was not affected.
When Shad invited the young Vanessa to get this week’s gift, the elf smiled and asked Shad:
"Obviously everyone has experienced their childhood, and many people will miss that carefree time, but why do people become unhappy and unhappy once they really change from adults to children? Where are the worries?"
“Because the happiness of childhood comes from ignorance of the difficulties of life. Once you grow up and know more about life, in fact, what people miss is not that age, but the kind of people who don’t worry about the present and the future. mentality."
Shad tried to explain. The blond girl, who was sitting on a wooden chair on the platform outside the tree house, with her feet unable to fully touch the ground, gave Shad what she was holding with an unhappy look on her face;
"You'd better give this to Agelina Cavendish."
The "gift" she got was a palm-sized doll that could be changed into different costumes. The doll's workmanship was extremely fine. The head, waist and limb joints all had hinges so they could move. The golden hair seemed to be real human hair. It is made of silk and the clothes it wears are genuine silk products. This is a toy that can only be owned by girls from noble families.
As for the price of getting this "gift", Vanessa needs to give this gift or other cherished toys to others within this week, so she gave the doll to Shade.
And she felt that this toy would make her feel even more uncomfortable when she recalled the incident many years later.
After the joke, the elf girl recommended to Shade a place where the ceremony could be held. So after leaving the tree house, the group continued to walk in this "inextricable forest area" under the leadership of Shade. After passing Behind the tree hole hiding the statue of the ancient god, I saw the clearing mentioned by the elf.
This clearing was not formed in the dense forest due to man-made reasons, but why it was the only place that was bare, not even the elf girl could explain.
"You don't have to understand everything in this forest."
This is what she said at the time.
The time at this time was 9:30 in the morning, which was very close to the two hours before and after noon, so everyone took the time to arrange the ceremony.
As for Shade bringing so many people, it is to arrange magical rituals to "purify evil" and "contain negative energy" outside the demon summoning ceremony, so as to prevent the devil summoning ceremony from ending in failure. .
For this reason, the peripheral ritual arrangements are much more complicated than the ones given by Dr. Schneider
“In fact, it’s okay to use human blood directly. Officials even have legal ways to obtain human blood.”
While Shade was thawing the prepared frozen sheep blood, the 1.5-meter-tall blond witch was still saying from the side. She was the only one who didn't have to do anything. She just had to cooperate with Shade for a while.
"We need to minimize the impact of this ritual. Let me look for sacrifices."
The "Wish Demon" itself is not a demon that particularly needs flesh and blood, so the sacrifice to summon it should be something related to the soul, or at least a "cherished object", such as the jewelry you have worn since childhood, your favorite person hair.
But the doctor didn’t ask Shade to provide real human hair or cat hair. He knew that Shade’s deck contained a Moon 9 [Devil Soul Stealer Bishop]. This card was perfect as a ritual sacrifice. However, the doctor ensured that the sacrifice could be taken back after being used.
In short, human blood was replaced with sheep blood, and Rhodes cards were used as sacrifices. Although the ritual base array was still in the shape of an inverted pentagram, a circle was drawn with [Night Watch] on the periphery of the pentagram. It was circled as a whole, and then the sheep's blood was continued to be filled in the circle notch on the ground, except that about 5% of No. 3 holy water was added according to the doctor's instructions.
After everything was ready, especially after other peripheral ceremonies were confirmed to be OK, Vanessa, Miss Bell, Miss Swift and little Miss Aurora each put on black robes and hoods, and then naked The feet stand on the four tips of the five-pointed star, and the hands hold candlesticks of the same style.
"Darkness!"
"Darkness!"
"Darkness!"
More than a dozen girls who accompanied them cast spells on the location of the four people, and the bright light in the forest gradually dimmed until only four ever-lasting candles were left to illuminate the surrounding deep darkness.
In this deep darkness, Shade held his Rhodes card and stood at the bottom tip of the inverted pentagram. After bending down and placing it in the center of the pentagram, he spoke in devilish language. He read out a passage that all the girls present could not understand, but felt particularly uncomfortable after hearing it.
The demon language of ancient times itself is a kind of "blasphemous whisper", and Shade added the "real name" of the demon controlled by the doctor. If this is not noon but real midnight, I'm afraid what will happen next It's the plot of a traditional horror story.
The profane language successfully activated the ceremony, and the light of the candle on the candlestick held by the pure girl quickly turned black. The red sheep's blood on the ground was originally in a semi-solidified state, but after the summoning mantra was recited, it all turned into black and then dried up.
A colorful smoke suddenly rose from the ground under the Rhodes card. The colorful smoke floated high into the sky, and the shadow of the blue giant spirit appeared above the ritual array without any warning in the smoke:
"Who wants to make your wish come true? It's you."
I haven’t seen him for more than half a year, and the devil is still the same as before. It was floating high in the dark sky, with its hands folded on its chest and not looking at other people, but looking down at Shade. The skin on the upper body is all blue, with gold and jade jewelry on the fingers, arms, ears and even nose. The lower body is an amorphous colorful smoke:
"It seems that not only I can't get the souls of these girls, but I can't even get the sacrifice."
Although it looks quite arrogant, it speaks in a normal tone:
"Before you say your first words, I want to know if you are looking for me, or is your friend looking for me?"
"I'm looking for you through my friend."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking action, Shade did not signal everyone to activate the counter-ritual. He looked up at the giant spirit. The other party's projection state did not trigger too many whispering elements, and the "seeing demon" could only see faint black traces:
"This time I still want to ask you some questions. Do you know where I am now? I want to know what's going on here."
"The ritual you arranged has confused the time and space of my clone. Of course I can't track you, so you don't need to test me."
It waved its hand at Shade:
"What exactly do you want to know?"
"If you want to know about Vesta Grove, you know the Ancient One here, right? And you know how it 'distributes' tree holes to the mortals here. You have obtained Kingsley's wisdom, don't Say you forgot about it."
"Who is Kingsley?"
The giant spirit asked curiously, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized:
"It's that interesting dragon beast from hundreds of years ago.
I really couldn't remember the name immediately. That transaction can be regarded as the best transaction I have made in the past thousand years. However, you want to know about the respected ancient one."
It smiled:
"Of course you can, but this time it can't be a free inquiry. This is you making a wish to me."
"I will not make a wish to the devil, no matter what you say."
Xia De shook his head decisively and came up with the doctor’s words:
"You tell me the answer, and I will give you 4 ticks of the treasure-level sin of [Gluttony]."
In the Sin Mansion last fall, Shade obtained the [Sloth] spirit rune by relying on the 4-kt treasure-level sin of laziness. His sin of gluttony only lasted for more than 10 times in total - as of last autumn, so this time it was a completely generous act:
"It's not you and me who are trading, it's me and you. I will draw up the terms of the transaction, and if necessary, my friends can come and act as notaries."
PS: The reason why 15 and 16 years old appear frequently in the previous chapter is to avoid certain risks, so just treat them as around 15 or 16 years old. This topic cannot be discussed in detail. Safety comes first.
