A raven is slightly larger than an average crow. Its body is pitch black, but its head is covered with white fur.
Each raven can only contribute less than 100 milliliters of raven blood, but each large wooden basin does not need to be filled completely. It only needs to be filled with ten centimeters of raven blood, which requires almost more than a hundred.
The blood of a raven can fill a wooden basin.
The raven saint Safuri slaughtered these ravens very skillfully. She cut the necks and bled them and threw them aside, forming a set process.
These ravens that had been bled would not be wasted. Soon the villagers, under the supervision of the jackdaw and euphorbia warriors, picked up the ravens into wooden baskets and carried them outside the village for processing. After they were stripped and disemboweled,
Cut it into two pieces and serve it as dinner tonight.
After a while, Wang Xuan was brought to the Raven Tower. David, the church deacon, looked at the saint Safuri who was bleeding the raven, lowered his head and whispered into Wang Xuan's ear.
"That is the Holy Lady. She is preparing a conversion ceremony for you."
"After soaking in the blood of the raven and performing some simple rituals, you can truly become a member of the church and enjoy the endless divine glory spread by the Raven God."
"Now, please be patient and patient, and wait quietly for the Holy Lady to complete the preparations."
David had a slightly fanatical expression on his face and said in a bewitching tone.
Wang Xuan nodded, not daring to say anything. He just stood there and watched the Raven Saint Safuri bleeding the ravens one by one. Although the blood was all from the ravens, it still made Wang Xuan feel a little...
weird.
Just thinking about a ritual that uses blood as a medium makes me feel uncomfortable.
But this is a different world after all, and even all kinds of undead monsters and fantasy creatures can exist, so it is not surprising that a heretical church uses the blood of raven as a ritual medium.
While Wang Xuan stood aside obediently and waited, four or five more people were brought over one after another from other directions in the village. These people were all brought to Wang Xuan. Counting himself, there were six people in total.
Six people looked at each other, including men, women, blacks, whites, and Asians.
Wang Xuan took a few glances and found that the five people brought here were all lords, and he was suddenly a little confused.
The expressions of other lords were the same, all with deep doubts, but no one took the initiative to speak.
"Do these guys have the same idea as me?"
“Do you also want to fish in troubled waters by converting to the church?
Wang Xuan was thinking in his heart, feeling that something was wrong. Due to the occasion, they did not choose to communicate, because there was a church deacon behind them watching them.
Moreover, the Raven Saint was preparing for the ceremony in front of them, which made them dare not act rashly.
After waiting patiently for nearly an hour, all six wooden basins were ready.
Each wooden basin contained about ten kilograms of raven's blood, exuding a warm bloody smell.
It's now past four o'clock in the afternoon, and the weather is indeed a bit wrong. The sky is dark with dark clouds. A breeze has started blowing just now, which makes the bloody smell drift away.
Wang Xuan had also seen the announcement of the final challenge before, but he didn't care. Now he just wanted to embrace the Calamity Raven Church as soon as possible. He thought that with his sharp tongue and deception skills, he would be able to fight once
Once you enter the church, you can quickly climb to the top of the church.
I don't know whether he underestimated the aborigines or overestimated himself. After deceiving some silly, sweet, honest, kind and beautiful lords and letting him taste the sweetness, he gained a sense of self-confidence.
Among the other lords around, some were confused, some were serious, and there was even a blond lord who kept peeking around, apparently trying to escape.
After all, some of these lords were caught when they went out like Wang Xuan, and some were caught when they failed to engage in small tricks. Not everyone is like Wang Xuan and wants to break into the church. More of them are
I just want to escape.
However, the nearby building heights have all been occupied by heavy-armed church shooters. There are dozens of church disaster mages on the Raven Tower next to them, and behind them are groups of jackdaws, euphorbia warriors and deacons.
Although these lords kept some combat props in their storage compartments, they were still not sure that they could escape from the village under such tight defense.
So now they can only follow the arrangements of the Calamity Raven Church and then wait for opportunities.
Everyone has their own thoughts, but without exception they all hope to achieve their goals after completing the conversion ceremony.
After all the wooden basins were filled with an appropriate amount of raven's blood, Safuri cut her fingertip again.
In each wooden basin, a drop of her blood was squeezed into it. The blood was mixed with blue and white stars with strange power, and had a faint chill.
As a saint, Safuri was integrated into the spirit of the raven at a very young age. The blood in her body contains some of the divinity of the raven god. Although it is very meager, it can be regarded as a special spell-casting material.
Including the magic circle that the church has deployed in the Bone Burial Ground to suppress the undead, it also needs her blood as an auxiliary material, so her blood looks different from ordinary people's.
After the blood was dripped, the raven's blood in the wooden basins began to ripple.
This wasn't the end yet. Then, she stretched out her hand again to attract a few ravens, directly opened its chest alive, gouged out the living raven hearts, and threw one into a wooden basin.
These little raven hearts are all beating alive, like little sources of power, injecting vitality into the blood.
At this time, the blood in each wooden basin began to boil, and white cold air floated out. The Calamity Raven Saint took out the staff that she had been carrying on her back.
This is an ebony raven staff. On the top of the staff is carved a fist-sized frost raven. The frost raven is different from ordinary ravens. It is huge and can be ridden. It was captured by Zong Shen before.
The Calamity Raven Church scout who delivered the message was riding a Frost Raven, and now that guy has become the refrigerator of Zong Shen's territory.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The eyes of the frost raven engraved on the staff are two black gems, and Safuri held up the ebony raven staff and began to sing.
The black gemstone eyes of the raven on the top suddenly lit up. After a flash of black light, gray raven shadows the size of fists began to condense. There were six shadows in total, but none of them entered the wooden basin, leaving the entire wooden basin except for the floating shadows.
In addition to the white cold air, there is an additional layer of black light.
After completing this set of procedures, Raven Saint Safuri exhaled and put the ebony raven staff behind her back again, looking a little tired.
She slowly came to Wang Xuan and the others with a smile on her face.
"Preparations for the ceremony have been completed. Now please enter the wooden basins separately."
"After completing the ceremony, you will be considered a true convert to the church."
"At the same time, this ceremony can also enhance your strength and physical fitness."
Safuri's voice is very gentle, and she has a light smile. She seems to have a peaceful beauty, which makes people can't help but trust her.
Wang Xuan listened to her words and looked at the wooden basins, but he could only see some vague system information.
[Raven Transformation Ritual (Unknown)]
This is the biggest gap between ordinary lords and Zong Shen. For Zong Shen, there is no secret at all when prompted, while for ordinary lords, it is necessary to half-guess.
Just looking at the name, you can't tell anything at all.
"Okay, let's start the ceremony quickly."
Seeing that they were hesitant, the deacons began to urge.
Wang Xuan thought for a while, then took the first step towards the wooden basin.
Several other lords on the side looked at each other in confusion. With Wang Xuan taking the lead, they also walked towards the wooden basin.
However, at this moment, the black lord who was standing at the outermost position suddenly took out an emerald green mark and threw it on the ground, exploding into three clouds of green smoke.
After the smoke dissipated, three medium-sized tree warriors with a height of 1.78 meters appeared on the spot.
The black lord himself ran towards the side of the village path.
Raven Saint Safuri seemed to be well prepared, without the need for a staff or chanting. She stretched out her palm towards the fleeing black lord, and a frost chain flew out directly and wrapped around the black lord's waist.
Immediately, frost began to condense near his waist. With the chains restrained, the black lord was immediately unable to move and could not continue to escape. He was quickly brought back by the euphorbia warriors who arrived.
"You guys go ahead."
"Don't waste any time."
Safuli said lightly, and dispersed the frost chain with a wave of her hand.
Wang Xuan and the others were filled with awe, and their little thought of escaping was completely extinguished. At the same time, seeing the Calamity Raven Church's powerful methods, they also became a little uneasy.
Under Safuri's urging, they walked into the wooden tub one by one, which was just enough for an adult to bend his knees and hug him into it.
Under the supervision of the church deacons and Safuri, several lords entered the wooden tub one by one, and in the blink of an eye they were covered by the cold air and black light in the barrel.
As soon as Wang Xuan entered the barrel, he felt something bad. The blood of the raven quickly wrapped him up like a layer of mucous membrane. His armor had been taken away long ago, and he only had a layer of cloth on his body. Almost instantly,
These clothes were melted, his skin began to contact the black mucous membrane, and his flesh and blood was being assimilated at an extremely fast speed.
"Damn it!"
"Uhhhhh!"
"Well..."
All the lords who entered the wooden basin let out shrill screams. Among them, in the wooden basin where Wang Xuan was, he stretched out his arm covered with black mucous membrane, but the arm fell down in an instant.
There was no sound in several wooden basins. This transformation process was extremely terrifying, especially the raven blood that was endowed with strange magical powers. As soon as it came into contact with the flesh, it would be assimilated immediately.
The Raven Saint on the side looked indifferent, and her heart did not waver at all.
"Throw him in too."
Sally pointed to the captured black lord.
At this time, the lord's eyes were dull and his legs were trembling. If it weren't for the jackdaw and euphorbia warriors holding him up, he would almost lose his balance.
A turbid yellow liquid continuously flowed out from his trouser legs and gathered into a pool at his feet, carrying a strong stinky smell.
Just now, he saw with his own eyes the terrifying scene after Wang Xuan and the others entered the wooden basin. This wooden basin was not a conversion ceremony. It was definitely some kind of terrifying and evil ritual.
After hearing Safuri's order, the guy burst into tears, his legs went weak and he knelt down, crying and begging for mercy.
Saint Safuli did not show any sympathy, but calmly waved her hand, and several jackdaw and halberd warriors directly picked him up, tied his hands and feet, and threw him into the wooden basin.
The black lord struggled to reveal his head, but was pressed down by the church deacon on the side.
The ruthless side of Saint Safuri was revealed.
She can regard human life as nothing for the sake of the church's grand plan, or she can be as polite as an ordinary girl. Of course, the premise of all this is that she does not offend the interests of the church.
As a saint of the Calamity Raven Church, she has been raised by the church since she was a child, and has also been integrated into the spirit of the raven. Her loyalty to the church is unquestionable.
The transformation of the raven puppet takes a certain amount of time. After all the wooden basins stopped struggling, the jackdaw and euphorbia warriors brought in pieces of stone slabs and pressed them on the wooden basins.
"By tomorrow morning, we will have six raven puppet warriors who are not afraid of life and death."
"The traces of these people's faith are very weak, and they should be able to absorb a lot of the power of the transformation blood."
Safuri looked at the wooden basins held down by stone slabs and said to the deacons.
At this moment, a dozen shadows suddenly passed by at high speed in the sky above Odo Village.
This caused the ravens hovering around the Raven Tower to scream in panic.
Safuri raised her head, and saw those shadows flying through the thick clouds, making it impossible to see the specific traces from the ground.
She stood there, her eyes suddenly turning completely black. At the same time, a raven hovering in the sky suddenly trembled, and the next moment it soared directly into the sky and flew into the thick clouds.
In the clouds, in the reflection of its pupils, a total of twelve figures appeared, cruising back and forth over Odo Village, seeming to be peeping at the situation below.
The eyes of Raven Saint Safuri returned to normal. Just now she flew above the clouds through the raven and saw the true face of these uninvited guests.
"It's the Dragon Eagle Knights. These guys are trying to spy on us."
"It seems that Rentatus's expeditionary army should be arriving soon."
"Activate the Raven Dome immediately and shield the village."
"Speed up the deployment of goblin mines. The first ones to arrive must be those guys from the Dragonborn Knights."
Safuli gave the order calmly, obviously they have prepared many methods in Odo Village!
