After Kane chatted with Xue Hua for a while, he waved to him and motioned for him to follow him to the open space behind the house. It was originally a flower garden carefully repaired by the owner of the house, but after being ravaged by the demon soil,
After looking through it, there was only a barren, desolate open space with a faint blood color left in the flower garden.
In the middle of this open space, Kane has drawn the magic circle according to the sacrificial ceremony described in the book, and the five jade statues have been placed on the five corners of the magic circle.
Xue Hua took a closer look at the snake-shaped jade statue and found that the original cracks on the statue had completely disappeared, and the entire statue had returned to its original, crystal clear appearance.
However, since the original god represented by this statue has died, the soul breath on the statue has completely disappeared without a trace. Now, it is just an empty magical creation, unless another dwarf wizard re-creates it.
Their rituals transformed it into a totem of another primordial deity, which otherwise would have been nothing more than a pretty sculpture with no purpose.
Of course, the sacrifice ceremony of the golden bird only requires the use of these five statues of the dwarf tribe as tokens of opening. Whether the original gods they represent are still alive is not that important.
"All the arrangements have been completed, and we can start the ceremony of summoning the golden bird at any time."
Kane nodded and looked at Xue Hua and said.
"Then let's get started. What are you waiting for?"
Xue Hua shrugged and said indifferently.
"Hey...you kid, don't you know what this ceremony represents at all?
Forget it, forget it, after all, you are not a nerdy old scholar like me..."
Kane sighed, and then became a little excited again.
After all, the thing they are about to take out is likely to contain the legendary "Elixir of Immortality". Although as a Horadrim scholar with a deep understanding of the history of the entire continent, Kane himself does not really believe in this potion.
will really exist in the world.
But as the saying goes, the world is full of wonders. As long as this legend is even 1% true, Kane will very much want to verify its existence personally.
So he grasped the long wooden staff in his hand, walked slowly into the presiding position in the magic circle with a solemn expression, then raised the long staff, mobilized the magic power in his body, and began to activate the sacrificial ceremony.
As Kane's mana slowly poured into the magic circle at his feet, the lines in the array began to slowly light up.
They first emitted flashes of blood-red dim light, and then after the five jade statues began to slowly float off the ground one by one into the air, the light on these lines quickly began to move toward the faint
Golden transformation.
After about a few minutes, the entire array was enveloped in a warm golden soft light, and five jade statues suspended in mid-air simultaneously shot out a golden ray that met at the center of the array.
These five golden rays intersected and hovered with each other for a short period of time, seemingly verifying each other's identities. After all the golden rays were merged together, a golden portal the size of a basketball suddenly opened in the dazzling golden light!
After the golden portal lasted for a few seconds, a golden bird suddenly flew out of the portal. It was not big, and its feathers were lifelike. It looked more like a living creature than a sculpture.
After the golden bird flew out of the portal, it first hovered in mid-air and looked around, then spread its wings and wanted to run away. However, the sacrificial circle obviously had the function of specifically binding and restricting it.
The little guy just flew less than one meter away when he hit an invisible wall of energy with a bang.
Then, the golden rays emitted from the five jade statues suddenly broke off, and the remaining rays were transformed into five golden energy tentacles that went straight towards the golden bird. The golden bird rushed left and right in mid-air, but in the end it was still
Unable to escape the energy tentacles' catching net, he was quickly entangled and thrown firmly into the center of the staff.
Only then did the entire sacrificial ceremony come to an end, and the golden bird captured by the energy tentacles transformed into a golden statue with wings spread and ready to fly, lying upright in the center of the magic circle.
The soft golden light brought by the array quickly dissipated, and Kane walked out of the array holding the magical golden bird statue in his hands.
Xue Hua, who was standing aside and watching, was dumbfounded the moment the golden bird spread its wings and tried to escape. He also didn't expect that a statue could actually move?
And not only can he move, he actually seems to have his own intelligence?
"Isa, was that scene recorded just now?"
After Xue Hua came to his senses, he quickly contacted the adjutant and asked if he had made a video record of the scene just now.
"The recording has been completed. The psychic breath readings and various image data have been classified into the main nest mental file."
As an adjutant, Isha is still very competent, and this time she did not disappoint Xue Hua. After hearing its words, Xue Hua immediately nodded and said: "Very good, quickly transmit these data and videos to the asteroid belt."
In the insect nest, ask the insect mother to give these information to Keles for research. This should be a very precious research material."
"Understood, Lord."
After giving instructions to Isa, Xue Hua hurriedly rushed towards Kane. The old scholar had obviously never seen such a magical scene just now, so that he was now holding the golden bird statue as if he were holding a precious statue.
Like an artifact.
"Xue! Did you just see it? This is not some mechanical or magical transformation, it is purely the result of the divine object's own channeling! What exactly is inside this thing? How can it have the power to transform a golden statue into a living thing?
?!"
Kane's lips trembled with excitement, and for the first time he began to doubt the theory he had previously believed in.
Since even dead objects can come to life, is it not surprising that the thing hidden in the golden bird's body is really the elixir of immortality?
"Don't be so excited. What is hidden inside this statue? We just need to open it and take a look, right?"
Xue Hua took two steps forward and patted Kane on the shoulder. He was afraid that the old man would have a heart attack due to excessive excitement, which would be a big deal...
Kane took a few deep breaths, then stood with his eyes closed for a while, finally calming down his violently beating heart.
He opened his eyes and glanced at Xue Hua, smiled and nodded to him to indicate that he was fine, and then quickly walked into the house holding the golden bird.
Kane can't wait to know the secrets of the Golden Bird. He feels that his discovery this time is likely to subvert his original understanding of the world!
Xue Hua, who was trotting behind him, couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at the old man's furious back.
Are all those who engage in scientific research behave like this? When they see good research materials, they get excited as if they have seen a ghost. The two scholars in his insect swarm are like this, the phase technicians of the protoss are like this, and Kane is like this
The same is true for the Horadrim mages... Sure enough, it's impossible to understand what these people are thinking if their brain circuits are not on the same channel!
But now he is really curious about what is in the golden bird, because the moment Kane approached him with the golden bird, something in his inventory that had not moved in a long time suddenly became active again.
