The philosopher tried to move forward, feeling that his body was getting weaker and weaker.
She gasped for breath, coughed up sticky phlegm with bloody foam, and put down the package in her hand almost out of strength.
Can't lift it anymore.
Her fingers turned white as she grasped it. This thing was really too heavy for her.
Inside this simple package were the Hatter's body fragments - the ritual materials she had obtained with great difficulty.
During this ceremony, the Hatter became a strong young man. The philosopher used the information he obtained to make a deal with him, explaining clearly the fact that his teammates could not be found, and expressing his willingness to form a team with the opponent.
With the help of the "Hatter", the philosopher, who had just escaped from the private room and was still weak, was able to successfully enter the secret passage. She could hardly stand up at that time, and was almost directly lifted up and stuffed by the Hatter.
The secret passage to enter.
After both of them entered the secret passage, and after the philosopher took a breath, they immediately used magic to sneak attack and kill him.
——There is no other reason, just that she urgently needs to heal her body and restore her physical strength.
There is no priest in this ritual, and even if there were, it would be difficult to kidnap the other party to heal him. Although the Hatter is willing to cooperate with him now, if he continues to show such powerlessness, the other party may directly kill him.
It would be better to strike first.
Although as a mage of the Wisdom Path, the Philosopher does not have the ability to recover. Fortunately, as long as he knows how to operate, he can still perform some simple rituals even if he has not surpassed the level of the Path.
And human corpses with magical powers are excellent ritual materials——
Sure enough, he really didn't have any talent for the path of wisdom. The philosopher laughed at himself.
After so many years and so many resources, the path of wisdom has just reached the third energy level.
The core principles of the path of wisdom are mystery, selfishness, and rationality. A wise man who protects secrets, maintains neutrality, maintains sanity, is alone, is beyond the times, and is not understood by everyone——
The philosopher is confident that she can complete the first two points, but the third point is difficult to achieve because she is always prone to anger.
At that time, she wanted to pursue a part-time job on the path of wisdom, but she felt that she could easily lose her mind. So she hoped to use this most rational path to make up for her shortcomings.
Perhaps it is the influence from the transcendent path, or it may be the corrosion of her rationality by the contract demon. When she encounters any pain or setbacks, what she thinks about is not "remaining silent and not explaining and ignoring", but "dismissive"
Treat them with contempt", but immediately want to use actions to make the other party pay the price.
Because she just couldn't help it.
——I am obviously so powerful!
He has a high status, abundant wealth, and his heir is smart and capable. He is a long-established nobleman with hundreds of years of tradition. He is also a powerful nobleman and a decorated general. No one will not give himself a face.
But the requirement of the path of wisdom is to laugh away the doubts and hostility of fools. On the path of pursuing the truth, those disputes and noises are just a meaningless waste of time.
Philosophers can never grasp the feeling of being high above, overlooking all sentient beings, and being uninterested in worldly affairs from the bottom of their hearts.
She gave herself this codename when she was advancing on the path of wisdom to remind herself to stay rational and think more about everything.
As a result, not only did she become a weak girl... she was also insulted and bullied by such an old man!
——If this was a promotion ceremony beyond the path, she might have resonated with the path now.
But this is a promotion ceremony for the path of wisdom. As a result, she is now not only furious that her brain is dizzy, her vision is black, her hands and feet are weak, and she also feels that the probability of casting spells is constantly decreasing.
In the end, in this promotion ceremony of the path of wisdom, she still used the ceremony of transcending the path...
Manually dismembering a corpse is tiring, technical and time-consuming.
Her physical condition at the moment could not support her to manually dismember the body of the "Hatter", so the philosopher directly consumed a little more mana and quickly arranged a "decomposition ritual" to quickly dismantle the other party's body into pieces that could be carried around.
Material.
Afterwards, she used the Hatter's remains to perform the first "vital regeneration ritual" to replenish herself for the first time.
Then she used the other person's clothes as a package and packed the materials into separate bags.
She didn't want to conflict with others at this time, because she only had a little mana left, and complete depletion of mana might lead to coma.
And for those who are promoted using young male bodies, she will definitely not be able to defeat them if she does not use extraordinary abilities.
So after careful consideration, the philosopher chose to use two-thirds of the materials left by the Hatter to set up the trap.
She walked all the way and laid out all the traps. Because she didn't have much materials at hand, she couldn't lay out too aggressive traps.
Considering the possibility of entering the secret passage together, directly setting up a sleeping trap may lead to being awakened by the companions. Therefore, the philosopher finally chose the power-removing ceremony.
It is a curse ritual that makes one's limbs weak, making it difficult to move.
If the opponent is a temporary teammate, then the person who steps on the trap may be suddenly killed by others; and if they are a companion who cannot give up, then they will choose to support, carry, etc. to act with the opponent, or
Just stay and try to lift the curse.
No matter which one it is, it can buy her a lot of time.
After falling into a trap once, you will probably become more cautious in the future. You may even prepare curse countermeasures.
Therefore, the second ritual arranged by the philosopher is the "acid arrow" ritual made with bile, gastric juice and blood.
When the other party walks into a long, narrow corridor with nothing, when they have walked two-thirds of the way and gradually relax their vigilance, strong acid arrows will fly from the front. This first ability
A high-level ritual may not be able to kill a person directly, but it can cause tremendous pain and weaken the opponent's ability to move and fight.
Afterwards, the philosopher removed the Hatter's spine and liver, and arranged a phantom wall that could block the light source, with several runes on it. They might have thought they had reached a dead end, thought it was a trap, and turned around and left;
You may try to investigate this wall without giving up. The philosopher arranged a trip wire under the light-blocking wall to trigger the stinger trap behind the wall.
When someone tries to get closer to investigate the wall, they will be stabbed into the body by the poisonous sting behind the wall. In order to allow taller male initiates to be hit, she specially lowered the height of the text so that
If the opponent wants to see clearly under this dim light source, he must lower his head. And the poisonous sting she adjusted will pierce the opponent's eyes.
——These three ritual traps can reduce the number of at least three people, right?
The philosopher thought.
Counting the dead forge and hatter, plus myself...
If you remove three more people, basically there won't be many people chasing after you.
And the first incapacitating ritual was to remind his companions - even though they could not be found suddenly, the philosopher still kindly left clues for them. If he saw the ritual trap arranged, then he should
Thinking that the trap ahead was a trap set by myself, I became a little more careful.
She doesn't have much material left.
I originally wanted to replenish my energy when I ran out of energy.
But now she suddenly began to hesitate.
——Because the philosopher is not sure whether there is a need to open the door at the end of this secret passage.
If it were a password or a riddle, it would be okay. Through the development of intelligence through the path of wisdom, he could still figure it out quickly. But if it was a password or even a spell rune that she didn't know, then she could only forcibly open it through a ritual.
Already.
Every time a piece of material is used in the past, it may cause the subsequent door to be missing this piece of material and unable to open.
"...Only one corpse is not enough."
The philosopher gritted his teeth and thought it would be better to save a little more.
I won't let myself recover.
Originally, she thought that if she couldn't complete the New Moon Ceremony, the worst she could do was find a place to hide. Even if she couldn't pass the level, she would not be punished as long as she was still alive.
...But after enduring that kind of experience, she suddenly felt that she would be at a huge disadvantage if she failed to pass the level.
But at this moment.
She suddenly felt a cold malice - the philosopher did not hesitate to pick up a package from the ground and threw it in one direction.
"Eat their hearts and chew their livers, and with the mighty blood of youth I command you! Show yourself to them, drunken bull!"
She chanted loudly at the same time.
The heart and liver in the package ignited flames, and then wrapped in a strong smell of alcohol, the flames suddenly grew larger.
It was like wrapping a bull in wine-soaked straw and igniting it with fire - golden red flames burst into flames. In this narrow space, a bull-like flame flashed in the direction she pointed.
And passed.
But what made her heart sink was that she didn't hear the screams.
"——Are you... Alai?"
Only a cold, hoarse voice sounded.
The black robe like a ball of rags fluttered open in the air, and there was no living person inside.
