The Whispering Verses Chapter 2905: Doctor’s Ceremony
Chapter 2904 The Doctor’s Ceremony
Destroying other people's graves and destroying other people's bones is certainly not morally right. After knowing the story of Jindel and the dragon beast, Shade didn't want to do this even more. But whether he wants to or not has nothing to do with whether he does it or not. Before Emilia completes the Time War, he must try his best to remove the targets corresponding to the four seats:
"No problem, that dragon beast is weaker than the demon and the 'Watcher'. If it hadn't always come from other times and therefore couldn't be completely killed in our time, it would have been eliminated long ago.
But don't take action now. Let's see what the church can find in the black dragon's nest. There must be a reason why it was chosen. After losing its wisdom in a deal with the devil, what did the ancient tree see in it? ”
The arrival of the Great Witch of Destiny means that in addition to sisters Audrey and Megan, all eight Great Witches that Shade is familiar with have arrived. And having an extra skilled diviner by your side will be quite beneficial for the next action.
In order to welcome Bella's arrival, everyone held another banquet on the ship that evening, and even Miss Daniste came to meet her.
The countess originally planned to arrive last weekend, but because someone witnessed a giant dragon off the coast of Moon Bay, the church intervened and needed her as the speaker of the city council to cooperate in cutting off the spread of the news, so they were delayed for a day. time. This time, in addition to herself and Matilda, she also brought a whole team of professional diviners, which greatly supplemented the shortcomings of the current team.
However, Shade could not stay at the banquet. The doctor planned to start his own ceremony at ten o'clock in the evening, so he had to set off for the woods after eight o'clock.
"I will ask everyone about you and Flora later."
The blonde countess said before Shade left, lightly touching the wine glass in her hand with Shade's, her golden eyes full of smiles:
"Or, if you have time when you come back tonight, would you like to take a walk with me? I haven't seen you for so long, and I have a lot of things I want to tell you."
As we approach the end of the Dead Leaf Month, the weather is getting colder day by day, and the howling wind in the forest at night already has the biting feel of winter. It is already the 27th day of October, and this Saturday will be November.
When Shade was walking through the woods, what he was thinking about was not the winter plan but the day of the red butterflies. This time, the day of the red butterflies was Friday. But Emilia will definitely be back this week. The affairs in the Vista Grove are coming to an end, so the Day of the Red Butterfly will probably be postponed this time.
The moon looks particularly big tonight. The sky that was still gloomy during the day cleared up at night, allowing people in the forest to clearly see the brilliant sea of stars and the huge yellow moon.
When Shade saw Dr. Schneider's cabin again deep in the woods, the doctor was standing at the door of the cabin looking up at the moon.
"Good evening, doctor, what are you thinking about? Are you worried about something for a while?"
Xia De asked while holding his sword, and the doctor sighed slightly:
"It's been almost half a month since I left Tobesk, and I miss that city a little. I admit that the air in the forest is better, but this is not a familiar place after all. Come on, I'm ready, we are now Let’s start the ceremony.”
But he told Shade in advance:
"After the ceremony, I will return to Tobesk soon. So I can't help you directly until it returns to normal."
In other words, once the ceremony is held, Shade will lose a key combat force.
"It's okay, doctor, you will have plenty of opportunities to help me in the future."
Xia De doesn't care much about this. If the doctor's problem is not solved, it will be a timed steam bomb next to him in the future:
"Let's get started now and hope everything goes well."
The doctor had cleared a large open space at the door of the wooden house. After he summoned the wind to clear away the fallen leaves and dust on the ground, Shade saw a total of thirteen strange symbols forming a huge circle.
Just looking at those thirteen symbols made my eyes feel polluted. Shade frowned slightly:
"Are these the marks of the thirteen demons?"
"Yes."
So Shade tried to find the mark that represented the "King of Demons". After all, it was the original demon in the legend. Maybe it was also the demon in the fables told by his friend Mr. Sean Asmon. related.
But what is very miraculous is that although there are only thirteen marks on the ground in total, and Shade can match twelve of them one by one with the demons that the doctor mentioned and that they encountered together, he cannot. Identify where the thirteenth seal is.
This is a cognitive problem. It is not that the outsider has Alzheimer's disease. He looked at the doctor again in confusion, and the doctor explained:
"In an unknown era, that terrible existence was divided into different parts, and its existence itself was concealed to prevent it from resurrecting due to too many people recognizing it. Therefore, anything related to it Symbols and written records will have phenomena that cannot be observed."
"Then if one day people find that they can know its stories and legends through reading, does that mean it has woken up?"
Xia De confirmed, the doctor nodded seriously:
"Theoretically, that's the case, but that's what happens after it wakes up completely. Before that, you will definitely find that something is wrong with me. Let's not talk about it. Did you bring "The Witcher's Notes"? ”
"Brought it."
Shad handed over the black-covered book. This book will not show power unless it is opened, and even a doctor can touch it.
"Okay, now use your [Night Watch] to draw the symbol that symbolizes the hunter into the center of the circle surrounded by those demonic symbols."
The doctor continued to order, and Shade continued to do so. While he was busy, the doctor summoned more wind to completely clear the nearby ground, allowing the ritual matrix he had spent the entire day carving to fully appear in the moonlight.
This ritual matrix is more complicated than what Shade saw on the parchment when he came to visit last week. Its main core is the thirteen symbols that symbolize different demons, while the other secondary ritual cores on the ground correspond to all the spiritual runes on Dr. Schneider's current life ring.
In other words, this ritual is simulating his life circle.
Intricate rings are nested one after another in the form of grooves on the ground, eventually forming a dazzling pattern. The blasphemous demonic words formed the overall framework of the ritual, and in terms of ritual symbols, the doctor took out the demonic materials he had accumulated over the years of hunting demons.
Most of these dangerous things are related to the demons that were hunted and killed in the past. Even those that were burned as firewood by the nuns, the doctor actually retained part of the demonic form.
Each kind of demon has its own counterpart, and for the most critical demon, the material the doctor provided was the "golden roast rabbit" last night, which was part of his own soul.
Except for the witcher symbol drawn by Shade in the center, the entire ritual is full of various traces strongly related to demons. This is also because the focus of the ritual is to obtain "devils".
After Shade finished drawing the symbol, even if nothing happened, just because of the thirteen demon marks around him, the hunter symbol began to glow faintly, even driving the [Night Watchman] who had not reacted at first. 】Silver light radiates from the scabbard.
After everything was ready, Shade retreated to the door of the cabin, and the doctor gave final instructions:
"All kinds of things may happen in a while, and I dare not say that I have thought of all the possibilities. In short, the most important thing is that once I can't control myself and my body has a tendency to transform into a demon, you will kill me. I No kidding, if I really lose control, it will be too late."
"Doctor, although you have been having bad luck, your luck should get better once in a while."
Shad comforted, Bill Schneider smiled bitterly, holding the book in his hand and walking from the edge of the huge ritual array to the center. Of course, the glowing hunter symbol made him quite uncomfortable with demonic power, but after a little patience, he still stepped onto the symbol surrounded by demon marks.
He did not look at Shade again, but looked at the starry sky tonight for the last time. When he lowered his head, black mud spread from his feet to the ground, and soon covered the circle surrounded by thirteen demon marks.
After the gurgling black mud covered the demon hunter's mark, it began to slowly infect the faintly glowing demon mark, and then followed the complex ritual lines and spread towards the entire ritual matrix.
This scene under the moon was silent, but the surrounding light gradually dimmed as the process progressed. I don't know when a thick black cloud appeared in the clear night sky, and in the blink of an eye, the cloud completely covered the three moons.
After the moonlight disappeared, there were more whispers in the surrounding forest, as if there were many people hiding around the clearing, peeping and talking quietly.
In the center of the ceremony, after all the ritual lines and symbols were activated by the black mud, the black mud flowing out of the doctor's body went upwards and wrapped him up. This step was a ritual that separated him from the ground. Connected together.
The black mud or pus eventually formed a "cocoon"-like structure, and Shade could see clearly that before the cocoon was about to completely seal him inside the doctor's chest, the doctor's His right hand made a gesture of opening the book.
Then the wind stopped completely, leaving only the sound of mud gurgling along the grooves on the ground and those whispers. Shade tried to discern what those voices were saying, but all he could barely hear were timid curses, painful curses, and crazy gibberish.
These sounds were not loud, and Shade felt a little stuffy at this time. The atmosphere seemed to be getting more and more depressing, until even he instinctively just breathed lightly, as if he was worried about disturbing something.
