Chapter 273: The Ceremony of the Mad Mage

"The essence of the ritual is that those who take the magic potion will enter a state of chaos uncontrollably, and all perceptions will become unclear. The chaos of the mental body can easily lead to spiritual overflow and loss of control. It requires the help of a ruling to force division in the cypress forest.

The rules of the field can initially stabilize this chaos and advance in a delicate balance, but be careful about the punishment for violating the rules of the field."

Judgment Dianbai? Rawls's eyes lit up. He had heard Alicia say about this plant. The fruit of the Judgment Dianbai tree is the main material and auxiliary material of the Sequence 5 "Retribution Knight" potion of the 'Arbiter' path.

Its juice is also needed.

Dian cypress is a strange tree that grows on the islands in the Sonia Sea in the northern part of the Southern Continent. Primitive tribes often appear near Dian cypress. They use Dian cypress as the judge to execute punishments and drive away tribesmen who violate tribal rules.

Diao Linzhong.

Normal punishment would only allow the punished to stay in the Domblin Forest for a few hours to a few days, while severe punishment would involve directly tying up the punished and throwing him into it.

In fact, cypress trees are just ordinary plants. They are branches of the main tree of cypress trees, extraordinary creatures. There will only be three to five cypress trees in a cypress tree. Only they will formulate certain rules according to the lines on their bodies.

, enforce the rules within the areas covered by their branches, and violators will be punished.

His mind quickly went through the information on the judgment of Mian Berlin, and Rawls turned his attention to the formula and introduction of the demigod level:

"Sequence 4: Fallen Earl."

"Everything has rules and follows certain rules, and the demigods of the Black Emperor path are good at finding their loopholes and allowing them to be exploited. Not only do they corrupt the rules in the area, but they also corrupt the minds of the group.

Fallen..."

"The recipe for the potion is as follows:"

"Main materials: The true shadow of the Shadow Raider, the heart of the giant wolf demon."

"Supplementary materials: two copies of the false shadow of the Shadow Raider, 60ml of the blood of the giant mandrill, and 30g of crystallized fragments."

"Promotion ritual: Use your own abilities and rules to attack, causing the soul of a demigod or equivalent extraordinary creature to corrupt, and kill it before it completely loses control."

"The essence of the ritual is to allow the 'Fallen Earls' to fully perceive the various changes in their souls before they fell, and to experience the horror of rules playing with people's hearts. It allows those who are promoted to establish a certain relationship with the rules used, and will not be affected by the divinity born after promotion.

Depraved mind. The time for completing the ritual needs to be controlled reasonably. If the time is too long or too short, it will weaken the connection with the rules."

"Sequence 3: Crazy Mage."



"Sequence 2: The Duke of Entropy."



"Sequence 1: Prince Killing."



"Sequence 0: Black Emperor"

"Magic potion formula..."

Rawls took a breath and saluted "The Fool" again:

"Thank you for your kindness."

Klein didn't speak, but nodded, lifting the barrier of individual communication.

"The Hanged Man" Alger gradually became clearer when he saw the figure of the "Emperor", but he was not as strong as before, and he did not feel the joy after seeing the "Black Emperor" card. It seemed more like he had been hit...

He did not dare to look directly at Mr. "Fool", but turned his attention to Mr. "World" at the end. He was still so indifferent, lacked subtle movements, and was not as happy as Miss "Justice" who quit the communication early...

What exactly did they communicate?

Audrey, who is already a "mind reader" on the "Audience" pathway, wants to observe more carefully than Alger on the "Sailor" pathway:

Well, Mr. "Emperor" seemed to be in a low mood, but his little movements told me that he was happy, and he seemed to be a little hesitant. Hey, he just clenched his fists. Did he make a decision?

Rawls was indeed hesitating just now. He was hesitating whether to jump to the "arbitrator" path, but he did not hesitate for long before making his decision.

He wants to jump to the "Arbiter" path after Sequence 4 "Corrupted Earl" and become a "Chaos Hunter" in Sequence 3 instead of a "Frenzy Mage". The original work does not clearly state that jumping to a path midway will affect becoming a god.

, but it should have a certain impact, but the current situation forced him to choose another path.

George III wanted to become the "Black Emperor". If he succeeded, it goes without saying; but according to the original work, if George III failed, then according to Rawls' plan, he had just seen the ceremony of "Prince Murder".

Judging from the "Black Emperor" ritual of becoming a god that he has long known, it is the best choice to jump to "Judge" after becoming "Prince Slayer".

But the ritual of Sequence 3 "Crazy Mage" forced him to give up this path, and what he just wrote down replayed in his mind:

"Promotion ceremony: Make an order that violates common sense. At least 10,000 people will follow your order and punish those who disobey your order. This order needs to be maintained for more than thirty years. The more people who comply, the longer it will last and the effect will be

The better.”

Thirty years!

This year is 1349, thirty years from now it will be 1379, and the end will be 1368.

Although demigods already have high-end combat power, if they were still Sequence 4 before the doomsday that was being watched in the past, how would they be any different from ordinary people?



In the hotel, Rawls sat at the table and skillfully arranged the ritual of summoning Alicia's messenger, and wrote down his demand for potion materials on the letter paper. His "briber" potion had long been digested, but

I haven't obtained the recipe for "Corrupted Baron" yet.

The main materials of Sequence 6 "Corruption Baron" are the eyes of ghost foxes and crystallized twisted blood vines. He has never heard of the former, and the fruit of the latter is the auxiliary material of "Chaos Tutor".

In addition, "Judgment Domblin" and "Crown (Mutated) Curly Baboon" are all within the scope of his inquiry, including the main material of Sequence 4 "Fallen Earl", and he is about to start preparing.

Similarly, he had never heard of the Shadow Raider and the Giant Demon Mandrill, and he only hoped that Alicia would have clues. However, he could not place all his hopes on her alone, as the Tarot Society had forged identities.

, and can’t ask for help, at least not right now.

It is also difficult to get clues from "King of the Five Seas" Nast. As long as he asks, "Viscount Dread" Bird Mustang will definitely stop him, and it is not impossible for him to even come to see him directly.

Now, apart from going to the local Extraordinary gathering to seek help, Rawls only has Luo Yin Jin, the "winner" of the School of Life, who can help him. However, since he has no contact information, the magic stick only believes in the guidance of fate.

So, he planned to go out for a walk and see if he could meet him.



Backlund, the dock area, Silver Mirror Street, the small house where Rawls once lived.

There was a person, a woman, a comatose woman lying on the bed...

She has rare long white hair, white and greasy skin, and is very cold. She wears black trousers and a white men's flower-collared shirt on her upper body. Lying there, she reveals a rather broad mind...

Although she was sleeping there, her face was quite haggard, and the slight dark circles under her eyes gave her a pitiful frailty, just like the legendary sleeping princess, waiting for the prince to come and rescue her.

But if Forsi or Xio were here, they would definitely recognize this woman. She was "Witch" Griffith, a member of the Gnosis Society. She once tried to capture them, but was taken away by Alicia.

A figure turned from reality to reality and appeared in the room. It was a black-haired gray boy, wearing a pale blue ruffled skirt with leg-of-mutton sleeves. Alicia no longer lacked enough expression on her face like before, as if

Although the wax figure is still cold and indifferent, if you look closely, you can see the subtle changes in expression on her face.

She looked at Griffith lying on the bed, and two points of light flashed through the dark gray hole, like lightning rushing in the dark clouds, piercing into Griffith's spirit, causing her to wake up suddenly, covering her hands with her hands.

He let out a heartbreaking cry of pain, his disheveled white hair was flying, and his bloodshot eyes were wide open, as if they were about to fall out.

But the harsh sound can only echo in the hut, which has been banned by Alicia and no longer interacts with the outside world.

The sound quickly stopped. It was not because Alicia had reduced the power of "Spirit Piercing", but because "Witch" Griffith had understood something in the past few days. If he continued to scream in pain, the "Witch" would

A second "spiritual puncture" would come. Even though she relied on her own willpower to close her mouth, the pain that tore her spirit was still affecting her.

"There is also no 'apprentice' or 'master of magic' in that place."

"...I...I really don't...don't know. I'm only responsible for the East and North Districts. I don't know much about the Bridge District and the West District, let alone Pulitzer Harbour. Moreover, they can pass through walls and often disappear.

…”

The white-haired "witch" struggled out of bed and collapsed weakly on the ground. Her voice was extremely weak, and a mixture of tears and snot flowed down her face.

"Although we 'Assassins' and 'Apprentices' are both members of the Gnostic Society, we have little or no communication with each other. But I believe there must be someone hiding in Pulitzer Harbor. That 'Assassin' is

My men don't dare to lie to me."

Alicia's slender eyebrows moved slightly. She believed that under the torture of "spiritual piercing", this "witch" did not dare to deceive her. Maybe she would have to search carefully in Pulitzer Port, but Rawls...



She tilted her head slightly, and saw a strange spiritual creature dragging a long snake tail outside the house. This house was isolated from the outside world due to her ban, and naturally her messenger could not enter. With a twist of her wrist, she used the "uncertainty" to

The "distortion" ability given by "Mist" allows the messenger to enter the room.

Did he get the follow-up formula? Alicia rubbed her fingers together, and the letter paper immediately fell into crumbs and turned into fine dust.



Bayam, Xiangshu Avenue.

Wearing glasses, with neatly combed hair and a somewhat literary temperament, Luo Yin Jin looked at Rawls who looked at him up and down with a smile:

"Do you believe now that fate will guide us forward?"

"No." Rawls withdrew his gaze, "It is not so much the guidance of fate, but the result of your divination. Do you do divination every day before you travel? Or do you do divination every time you make a decision."

"No, divination is not omnipotent. The more you believe in divination, the more you will feel the ruthlessness of fate... You seem to be very touched by this sentence?"

"I heard a fortune teller say the same thing, and I also have a fortune teller friend who fulfilled this sentence very well."

As "divineers", Crane's and Rosago's paths are obviously different. Especially the latter, after Rawls has made considerable changes, can still fall into Crane's hands. This is

Maybe this is Rosago’s fate!

"It seems that something bad happened to your friend?"

"You can do some divination to see if you can divine it." Rawls raised a smile on his lips. Extraordinary people of the "destiny" path cannot look directly at Klein, otherwise they will go blind!

"I can see the result from your smile." Luo Yin Jin pushed up his glasses, "Tell me, what do you need me to help you with this time."

"There's no rush yet."

Rawls waved his hand and glanced at the house number on the side, No. 36 Xiangshu Avenue.

"Let's go to a suitable place to chat first."



Xiangshu Avenue, No. 13.

"Do you want to know how I make sure there is no one in this house?" Rawls relaxed and lay on the sofa, looking at Luo Yin Jin who was looking around and asked with a smile.

"I assure you, I have never been here."

"There are many ways to do this." Luo Yin Jin tapped the temples of his glasses, and the lenses turned crimson, "I can use the ability of the 'Immortal Baron' to smell that no one has been here for a long time.

.”

"Can this also be smelled? Is this the ability of a 'vampire', or the ability of a 'medicine' or an 'animal tamer'?"

"Both are a little bit, but relatively speaking, the 'vampire's' sense of smell is more sensitive."

Looking at the "ageless baron" who looked like he had color-changing glasses in his previous life, Rawls asked curiously:

"Is your appearance like this because of this extraordinary item? If you gave it to George Negan, would you turn into an old man? Darkwill said you are at least sixty years old."

"No, I drank the water from the Fountain of Youth. I will remain as I am now until I die."

There are many legends on the sea, and behind each legend there is a treasure, such as 'The Key of Death', 'The Legacy of Solomon's Empire', 'The Ghost Empire', 'The Sunken Laurel', 'Roselle's Secret Treasure'...

The Fountain of Youth is also a legend that has been circulating for a long time. It is said that one of the pirate kings, the "Immortal King" Agaritu, once drank from the spring water of the Fountain of Youth.

But Rawls knew that that was most likely a forged legend. Agaritu himself was controlled by the self-aware sealed object "The Death Call", so how could he have drank the water of the "Fountain of Youth". Together with the Four Kings

One of the "Queens of Mystery" Bernadette also believes that this is for performance or ritual needs, and that Agaritu's path sequence 4 is "the devil".

"This lie is not funny."

"Didn't you lie again?" Luo Yinjin smiled nonchalantly, "Darkwill would never tell my age...did he really tell you?"

Rawls nodded, after all, he would tell Klein later.

Luo Yin Jin's expression suddenly became stiff, and his old voice became a bit hoarse:

"I will educate him well."

"No need for guidance from fate?"

"This is how destiny guides you!"

It seems that your age is really important! I'm afraid it's much more than sixty years old... Rawls drew a red moon on his chest as a prayer for Darkwill, hoping that the "Queen of Disaster and Fear" would bless him.

he.

Roy King's reaction made Rawls stop asking about his age, but it is certain that after Roy King gave the "Immortal Baron" to George Negan, the governor of the Rhoside Islands, he would not become real.

age.

"Do you know where there are ghost foxes and twisted blood vines?"

"I don't know about the ghost fox, but I do have twisted blood vines in my manor on Oravi Island. Do you want crystals or fruits? If you want fruits, it will take a while."

"I only want the crystal now, and I will need the fruit later."

"I'll have it delivered to your hotel."

"No, just send it here." Rawls sank into the sofa. "Fire" Daniz's house is really nice. You can stay here for a while.

Next, Rawls consulted on issues such as "Crown Curly Baboon" and "Judgment of Berlin", but did not get any results.



Inside the Cragg Club underground shooting range.

After practicing shooting, Klein carefully maintained the revolver given by the lady who was suspected of being the "artisan" behind it, and adjusted the ratio of purifying bullets, demon-hunting bullets and exorcist bullets to 3:1:1.

Phew, he breathed out, put away the revolver, straightened his coat, and slowly returned to the lobby on the first floor.

He had just heard the waiter mention that today's limited supply was pan-fried keel fish.

As soon as he entered the cafeteria, Klein saw his acquaintance Talim Dumont, an equestrian instructor with short curly brown hair and who came from a poor aristocratic family. His eyes were unfocused and he was eating his lunch without taste.

Klein carried his dinner plate over, sat down, and said hello.

Talim turned to look at him, moved his lips a few times, was silent for three or four seconds, and finally muttered:

"Sherlock, do you know that kind of person who has strange abilities, is very powerful, and is rare?"

Got it, what's in front of you is... Klein slightly raised his eyebrows but did not give a direct answer:

"what you up to?"

Talim opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He thought solemnly for a while, then forced a smile and said:

"Nothing, I just asked out of curiosity."

Last time I asked what to do if you fall in love with someone you shouldn’t love. This time I asked if you know anyone with strange abilities. What exactly does the noble you serve want to do? He will also ask you to do such private things. No wonder you

I don’t want to listen to the opinions of Dr. Allen and that Barrister Rawls. But if this kind of thing can’t be handled well, I’m afraid something will happen! You might as well hug the thigh of your barrister friend...

Klein cursed inwardly, cut a piece of fish without any fine bones and stuffed it into his mouth.

Talim took a breath, quickly finished the food on the plate, and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He seemed to have returned to normal and said with a smile:

"Mike wants to hire you as his bodyguard for a few days."

Mike Joseph? The reporter from the "Daily Observer"? I remember his performance in "The Golden Rose" was very good. Is he going there again? Or is he trying to find out who is suspected to be related to the disappearance of the girl?

Rich businessman Kaping...Klein chuckled and said:

"What does Mike want to do again?"

Talim spread his hands and said:

"I don't know. He just mentioned this matter casually. It seemed to be related to an interview assignment. He said he would visit you the day after tomorrow and hoped that you would be free to accept this assignment."

"I'm not sure." Klein, who didn't know the specific situation, didn't give a definite answer.

At this moment, a layer of illusory prayers sounded in his ears, coming from a woman.
