Chapter 52 Ceremony(1/2)

The weird soft light produced by the radiation of the earth's veins filled the entire cave, twisting into the shape of a vortex and extending along the cave wall.

The shadows cast by the jagged stone pillars are constantly dancing, forming strange decorations on the cave walls.

The sword mage Hesiah smelled a slight metallic smell in the air, and it was unusually quiet. Even the sound of water droplets falling from the cave ceiling had no echo, making her feel as if she was standing in the silent wilderness of the Dark Territory.

"Affected by the radiation of the earth's veins, the transmission of sound is almost completely isolated here. It is a good place." Brian leaned down and entered the cave through the narrow passage, looking at the surrounding environment.

He saw that the cave was covered with stalactite pillars and stalagmites, and the dripping water formed small puddles on the ground, shining with a faint luster under the soft light radiated by the earth's veins.

"Just do it here."

After thinking about it, he told Hesaya: "Pay attention later and don't let the energy radiated by the earth's veins affect your mind."

After saying that, he ignored the slightly silly-looking sword mage in front of him.

Four days have passed since they set off from the Sunless Woodland.

During this period, Brian finally accumulated experience points to his expected goal.

These experiences can not only improve your battle mage and psion levels.

He also transformed enough crystals to make astral constructs, and copied an awakening scroll to perform a blood baptism ceremony for Hesiah.

In fact, according to the original plan, he was planning to go to the Gray Dwarf's Aldus King City to hold a blood baptism ceremony for her to enhance her strength.

However, as the group of them traveled in the past few days, he discovered that underground monsters appeared with a ridiculously high frequency, and occasionally they could encounter a scurrying abyss demon.

This made him realize that the gray dwarf city on the other side of the dark lake might also be facing a severe challenge waiting for him.

So he decided to improve his own strength before arriving at the Kuo Tao fisherman dock near the dark lake tomorrow, and at the same time, he also wanted Xisaya to break through the bottleneck and reach the fourth level paragon under the legend.

With such an obedient and strong teammate, he will at least feel more at ease.

After all, the dangers in the Underdark always come unexpectedly.

Especially when the radiation energy of the earth's veins is surging and the abyss demons have begun to run rampant, he cannot be careless.

Otherwise, in this troubled dark place, one day, the incarnation of the demon lord may suddenly ride on your face.

Therefore, even with three teammates like Goblin Copper Block, he still had to work hard to find a cave that would not be disturbed.

"Help me clean up the ground, preferably make it smoother."

After Brian checked the surrounding environment and made sure there was no danger, he said to Hesiah, "I want to draw a magic circle on the ground."

Hesiah nodded slightly, immediately took out the rune sword, recited a spell, and cast a cleansing spell on the ground.

Brian took out two crystal bottles filled with liquid and poured the liquid in one of the shiny bottles into the crystal bottle filled with magic ink.

"You killed the aboleth just to make ink?"

After neatly completing the task assigned by Brian, Hesiah saw his actions, her silver-gray eyes flickered, and she expressed her guess.

"That's right."

Brian nodded slightly and used his telekinesis ability to suspend the bottle of magic ink mixed with the blood of the aboleth in the air, quietly observing the red-black liquid gradually transform into dark blue.

The aboleth is an ugly-looking fish-shaped amphibian creature that mainly appears in lakes and rivers in the Underdark.

Rumor has it that their existence may be older than the gods... Before the arrival of the gods, they had been lurking in the original oceans and underground lakes, extending outward through their thoughts, snatching and controlling emerging life in the mortal world, and turning these into

The living thing becomes its own slave.

This dominance gave them god-like status.

Subsequently, it was not until the true god appeared that he destroyed the empire of the aboleths and liberated the slaves they controlled. [Notes on "Distant Kingdom: False Reality"]

However, for Brian.

No matter how ancient the aboleths are, or how powerful these amphibious creatures that look like squid or fish are.

It can't stop itself from taking risks to hunt them and use their bodies as magic materials.

After all, the aboleth is a natural psychic spellcaster, and the psychic energy contained in its dark blue blood can easily suppress the leyline radiation surging in the Underdark.

Even without this ritual, Brian would try his best to kill a few aboleths before leaving the underground, so that he could later make spiritual tools for the psion, or copy high-level magic scrolls.

When the energy of the crystal bottle was completely transformed into sparkling deep blue, he moved his mind, guided the liquid inside with his fingers, and began to slowly draw magic patterns on the clearing cleared by Xiseya.

As more and more magic symbols appeared on the ground, in about two hours, Brian finally drew this magic circle that shone with light blue light.

Until this time, he finally realized the benefits brought by the 2-point physical attribute and the "durability" expertise.

If it had been in the past, he would have been so tired and sore when he was carving magic circles with such high intensity and concentration that he wished he could lie down on a comfortable big bed and have a good sleep.

Thinking of the bed, he realized that it seemed that he had come to a dark place, and until now, he had never tasted what a soft bed felt like.

No...it's not like there was never a time when he suddenly remembered something again.

Then he stopped thinking randomly and patted the dimensional bag. More than a dozen sapphires, emerald stones and moonstones were embedded in the nodes of the magic circle one by one.

Most of these gems were begged by him in the Myconids' Lightless Woodland, just to stay and be useful today.

When the last moonstone with a faint starry glow inside was embedded in the center of the magic circle, all the gems glowed generously one after another, responding to the shining magic symbols.

The sword mage on the side who had been wandering in the sky for a long time was also reflected by the light and turned around to check.

Brian motioned for Hesiah to stand in the center of the magic circle, while he took out the most important materials for the ceremony from the dimensional bag.

The first is a magic scroll transcribing the awakening ritual.

This kind of scroll mainly serves to guide or inspire certain mysterious bloodlines.

Generally speaking, a warlock will automatically acquire spells after upgrading their level. If they want to continue to master new spells, they need to gather materials and perform a bloodline awakening ceremony.

This scroll is similar to a key that starts the ritual.

Although there was no restriction on spellcasting level to copy such a scroll, it still cost him a full 5,000 experience points to complete.

Moreover, in a remote place like the Underdark, he could only use purple worms and basilisk scales that were ground into powder for the ink used to copy the scrolls.

Then, he carefully took out the crystal bottle containing the blood of ancient elegant spirits.

The pure dew of magic flowers and plants is used to dilute the blood of the elven spirits, thus maintaining the naturalness of the elven blood.

This bottle of eladrin blood was given to him by Severil.

To be precise, I should have asked him for it.

Since Brian had stayed in the Northland for at least five years, he had a relatively clear understanding of the elves' situation in the High Forest.

In the game world, Severil, who returned to the Supreme Forest from the Isle of Evermeet, found that his mother's family's manor had not only been reduced to ruins, but even the tombs had been completely neglected, not to mention the moon blade inherited by the family.

In order to find the lost moon blade, he used the blood of the ancient eladrin as a reward for completing the task, and posted it in the Adventurer's Guild of the 'Peaceful City' Erlanthe.

Therefore, when talking to Severil, he made this request without hesitation.

Until this moment, he could still recall the other person's wide-eyed look at him, with a constipated expression on his face.

"Ready to begin!"

Brian made the bottle of eladrin blood float in mid-air, holding the scroll glowing with bright purple light in his hand. He looked at Hesiah and solemnly told her: "After I activate the scroll, you must not send out any words."

Sound, focus at the same time, and never be distracted, you know?"

Hesiah nodded solemnly.

As a human sword mage who does not have fey blood, she has experienced three such rituals from the moment she took office as a sword mage, so she naturally knows the precautions for the ceremony.

Of course, Brian also guessed what the other party was thinking, so he just gave a symbolic reminder and did not talk endlessly.

Likewise, he is very familiar with such rituals.

After all, his two blessings from Tianjie Mountain were obtained through the blood baptism ceremony.

The only difference is that his main material is the blood of the Celestial Clan, while Hesiah's is the blood of the eladrin.

Brian nodded slightly to her and immediately opened the scroll in his hand.

"boom!"

Valley Pilgrim

As the purple scroll burned in his hand, the six-pointed star array at the soles of Hesiah's feet suddenly emitted a strong magical light.

The sword mage, who had been well prepared, closed her eyes in advance the moment the magic energy lifted up her long brown hair.

at the same time.

To Brian's surprise, a picture of birds singing and flowers spreading out spread out in his field of vision.

The ancient green forest gradually became clearer, and various mischievous magical creatures such as dryads, satyrs, pixies and goblins were playing among the busy branches and leaves.

Thick magical energy gathers throughout the forest, forming a magic fountain. These fairy creatures, favored by magic, live and multiply beside the fountain, without any competition from the world.

Everything seemed so peaceful.

There is no doubt that this scene is from the Feywild.

The Feywild, also known as the Fey Plane, is a place of soft light and whimsy, as well as music and death.

This is the realm of eternal twilight, with dazzling fairy lights shining in the soft breeze, and fat fireflies buzzing in the woods and fields.

The sky is lit up by the dim colors of the setting sun, but the sun never really sets or rises, it just remains gray and still in the low sky.
