In the dim hall, she stared at the altar with wide eyes. The precious materials she had worked hard to collect for a month were about to be burned, but there was no response in the magic light curtain that soared into the sky.
"No! God! Can't you hear my call?"
Ai Lu shouted in her heart, but she bit her lips tightly, almost breaking her lips.
What went wrong?
Why didn't the gods respond?
Is it because I am not pious enough?
Or is there something wrong with the arrangement of the ritual magic circle?
Ellu's mind went blank, and big beads of sweat rolled down her face. She watched helplessly as the material was about to disappear but could do nothing.
"The emblem picture... is not wrong, the ritual incantation... is not wrong, the materials... are not... no! Could it be the essence of Moonlight?"
She suddenly thought of something.
If she had to find a problem, she could only think of Yuehua Essence. Although the book did not say that it must be fresh and intact, this should be the default, right? But she used dried specimens...
No, she didn't want to either. She really couldn't find any fresh ones. Even this specimen was obtained with a lot of effort.
"Materials...materials...there really is something wrong with the materials, is that why the summoning ceremony failed?"
Ellu's thin body was crumbling and she could hardly maintain her pious posture.
As a newly graduated low-level priest, this was her first time trying to communicate with the gods. In fact, this was only done when offering sacrifices to high priests. Therefore, she did not think about whether the gods really did not exist. She
I just simply look for problems within myself.
suddenly.
At the moment when Ellu lost his mind, a half-blocked window on the left side of the hall suddenly opened!
"Bang!"
The window frame seemed to have been thrown in hard, colliding and making a sound. At the same time, a gust of wind whistled in, and the curtains in the entire hall immediately shook like living things, and some papers on the ground also flew up.
.
"No!"
Ellu exclaimed, jumped up quickly, and used her body to block the window. In her opinion, it was probably because the wind was too strong that she accidentally blew the window open. This would affect the ceremony! She thought.
The ceremony has not yet been explained, and Elu has not completely given up hope.
What if...what if the goddess is late for something?
"Bang, bang, bang."
Ellu was wearing a loose moon-white robe, braving the wind, squinting her eyes and quickly closing the window, and then pulling the curtains to cover it. Only then did the room become quiet again. She held on to the window frame hard and began to breathe tiredly.
.
However, at the next moment, the two pointed ears protruding from the middle of Ellu's silver hair, with her back to the altar, suddenly moved!
There's a voice behind me!
Ellu was shocked!
Then, there was a surprise!
Could it be that the goddess finally responded to her poor devotees?
Ellu hurriedly turned around in surprise. Because of her excitement, she even forgot the etiquette that should be followed when meeting the gods, but looked straight at him with wide eyes!
However……
What appeared in her field of vision was not the great and graceful, indescribable moonlight and forest goddess, but... a strange sight!
…
"Woooooo~"
In the dim hall, the materials on the altar had been completely burned to ashes, the light pillar disappeared, but a black wind suddenly blew above the altar.
To be precise, it should be a black mist like thick ink, centered on the altar, spreading and permeating the air, completely turning the original solemnity of the entire room into something as spooky and terrifying as a ghost!
From that darkness, more densely packed, translucent weird ghosts flew out screaming, flying and circling throughout the house. They looked weird, moved quickly and strangely, bared their teeth and claws, and released a terrifying atmosphere.
It is clearly the legendary ghost from hell.
Those weird, unintelligible screams were like steel nails, piercing into Ellu's little head. She instinctively raised her hands to cover her ears. However, those irritating whispers, that fine, messy, manic,
The weird, crazy voice was still clearly heard in her mind.
God, this is simply the devil's whisper!
Ellu thought.
And these are not the weirdest things.
In the center of the altar, where the orthodox gods should have appeared, a hazy figure suddenly appeared.
In the dark, rolling fog, a strangely dressed figure floated in it.
His clothes and appearance are very different from those in the Elf Kingdom. The thin but well-fitting clothes cannot tell the origin. It has extremely rare black hair, and its ears are much shorter than those of the Elf. As for his appearance... the other party is actually wearing a snow-white...
, a mask with a mysterious and strange shape, only revealing a pair of eyes, looking down at itself.
He slowly fell from the sky. The black mist seemed to be his throne, and the hovering ghosts were his subjects. He gradually emerged from the void. Under this atmosphere, he looked extremely strange, mysterious and powerful.
"ah!"
Ailu was so frightened that her heart almost stopped. Her hands and feet were weak and her whole body was cold. Her body subconsciously retreated, but she could only helplessly press against the wall. Her legs trembled and she sank to the corner. She could no longer stand up.
I wanted to scream, but I couldn't even make a sound because of the excessive fear.
devil?
Evil?!
Evil God!
What exactly did you get yourself into?
At this moment, Ellu's whole heart was occupied by fear, and she instantly realized that she had most likely encountered the horrific things recorded in the sacrificial books.
Once the ritual of communicating with the gods goes wrong, the best result is that the ritual fails, and the worst result is that the unknown evil god is provoked!
They are the source of erosion and the spreader of fear. According to legend, every time the double moon dims, the door to hell will open. At this time, the devil will spread disaster to the world...
In this eerie and terrifying atmosphere, Ellu saw the "evil god" slowly landing on the altar. Behind the strange white mask, a "cruel, bloody, ferocious and evil" gaze was cast towards her.
Immediately, the "Evil God" spoke quietly and said in a tone that seemed to be unexpected and full of interest:
"It was you who woke me up?"
The elf's face turned pale, and the next moment, his eyes suddenly rolled, his body went limp, and he fainted from fright!
…
…
Cheng Lin was extremely speechless as he watched Ai Lu pass out and fall into the corner.
The silver-white knife rolled away on the floor for a distance.
He stood in the black mist, dazed for a moment, and finally held his forehead and sighed deeply.
"Am I so terrible..."
With a wave of his hand, he rolled up the black flag, and all the thick black mist was retracted, and even the flying and arrogant one hundred and eight war spirits returned to the two-dimensional space of the black flag.
The whole room returned to its original calm.
The magic lamp burned quietly, and Cheng Lin's figure was reflected on the waxed solid wood floor, with the strange white mask appearing blurry.
corner.
A petite and frail figure collapsed on the ground, motionless, apparently in a deep coma.
The moon-white robe was like a blooming flower. A pair of white stockings on Ellu were stained with a trace of dust. Her left hand fell to the side, and blood was slowly seeping out from the gap in the bow-shaped bandage.
"Well..."
Cheng Lin touched his nose, hesitated, walked over, then frowned and thought for a moment, turned his hand, took out a cup, and poured it on Ai Lu's face.
He remembered that in TV dramas, prisoners were awakened by pouring water on them...
"Wow."
Water splashes everywhere.
Ellu frowned at first, then coughed twice, and finally slowly opened her eyes.
