I don't know if it's a coincidence or an illusion... Every time he sees this honey-haired saint, he will feel a strong impact on his three views——
Are all you aliens so good at playing?
Why does it feel more open than the earth...
But this seems to be normal.
After all, in this world, there are ways to change one's appearance, one's gender, or even one's race. And it's not very difficult.
Although the various technologies in this world are still roughly in the 15th to 19th centuries of the earth... But this technology of changing bodies at will has left the earth's technology far behind.
——Even without getting married, you can still use the ritual of the child in the cup to create offspring and continue the family's bloodline.
The views on marriage and extraordinary love brought about by many convenient rituals and extraordinary powers are, to a certain extent... perhaps more advanced and open-minded than the players on Earth.
"...However," Si Anke suddenly realized something, "that [Daughter of Eternity] just wanted to use the curse of the 'Moth's Knot' to hurt me.
"Does that mean that she is very proficient in the rituals of the moth realm..."
"You actually want to ask if she was transformed from a male back then."
After understanding Si Anqi's true thoughts, the saint couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Right?"
"...This is actually a reasonable guess."
Si Anke whispered.
The saint couldn't help laughing, and rubbed Si Anqi's hair vigorously, making it a mess: "This is what I told you. Do I not know?
"It's not surprising that Ingrid would use the Moth Mother's ritual. In the Moth Mother's and Silent Lady's rituals, a common requirement is that 'the ritual performer must be a woman.'
“Slightly more demanding rituals may also require that ‘the ritualist must be a virgin’ or ‘the ritualist must be a mother of three children’, or even ‘the ritualist must have had an abortion’ or ‘never had an abortion’ and so on.
"Like Mr. Yao's ceremony, half of the requirements must be performed by men - Mr. Yao's ceremony is either performed by a boy or by a strong and healthy man. Therefore, almost all the priests in Mr. Yao's temple are
Men...and more than 80% of the priests of the Moth Mother are women of different ages."
I see.
Si An nodded clearly.
That's why the Sun Realm and the Moth Realm have gender-changing rituals... because their high-level rituals originally have gender requirements.
And this means that some rituals have necessarily conflicting preconditions.
Priests of the temple, when using their own rituals, can easily find suitable ritual performers to help each other - thus meeting each other's ritual needs.
It is not easy for wild ritual masters to achieve this condition. That is why they span multiple fields and master different types of rituals.
"And I don't care whether Ingrid is a boy or a girl in the first place..."
The saint with honey-colored hair narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the dome shining with faint light, and murmured in a low voice: "It's all over anyway. That has nothing to do with me."
What you said... there are a lot of stories in it.
Si Anqi's eyes moved slightly.
He was actually quite curious about the specific content of this gossip. But he was very good at observing people's emotions - he sensed that Henry Warden was not in a very good mood.
If you continue to ask questions at this time, it may indeed advance the plot, but it may also lose some of your goodwill.
Unlike Jiu'er, Si Anke is the kind of player who tends to be conservative. Compared with satisfying his own gossip mentality, it is more important to continue to maintain a friendly relationship with the Saint.
"Okay, after I leave, she probably won't continue to attack you."
The young saint comforted her in a gentle voice: "If you are still worried...I will teach you a ritual in Suifu's domain. With this ritual, you will never be cursed by her."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but smile and wink at Si An: "You should be... still chaste now, right?"
"……Um."
Si Anqi took a deep breath and nodded in a muffled voice.
Generally speaking... he shouldn't feel any discomfort when asked like this by someone of the same sex.
But when he learned that the saint named "Henry Worden" was once an abstinent female Holy Grail Knight, Si An suddenly had a vision of his "big sister" in him.
In addition, this saint's hair color looks quite familiar...
When the saint spoke to him, he could always see a girl with honey-colored hair, but with stars in her eyes and a remote control in her hand.
If Henry were still a woman, this might be what he looked like...
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, boy."
The saint saw Si Anqi's embarrassment and couldn't help laughing.
His left hand was in his pocket, and his right hand rubbed Si Anqi's hair vigorously: "Chastity is not a mistake. Living a chaotic private life in order to prove that you are popular is not something worthy of praise.
Behavior.
"The Cup Girl once said that abstinence is a virtue."
The young saint said warmly: "'Love and lust are not the same way - you need to love others and abstain from sexual intercourse', 'Humanity is a heart-devouring monster, and only the fierce can control it'.
"Although many people think that most of the believers of the Girl with the Cup are indulgent fanatics. But in fact, the Girl with the Cup teaches us to be abstinent... Only strong and powerful souls should indulge their lust.
"It's just that some people have some deviations in their self-perception. They think that they are capable enough...but they are not able to control their desires. Instead, they are controlled by their desires.
"For these people, our Lord's wish is that if they cannot control their out-of-control desires, they should die because of their out-of-control desires; and if they grow from this process and gradually regain themselves and recover
Without peace of mind, they will become 'strong men'."
Cause and effect cycle. Let nature take its course.
Si dark and thoughtful.
I didn’t expect that the girl holding the cup is such a Buddhist god...
That's why the Cup Girl ignored the desperate cries sent to her by her followers who committed suicide due to greed - disasters caused by out-of-control desires were already a predetermined outcome.
"The woman holding the cup is such a contradictory god..."
Si Anke murmured.
The saint was not angry: "Yes. The contradiction between love and desire, the contradiction between abstinence and indulgence, is the charm of our Lord's way. We Knights of the Holy Grail believe that 'only self is the answer to self'."
"Self-persuasion, self-degradation, self-torture, self-salvation - defeating the immature self and firmly controlling the desire is the way to hold the cup."
He gently patted Si Anke on the shoulder: "The love between a man and a woman does not need to be avoided, but it is not worth bragging about. Don't choose a love that is destined to be short-lived and unfortunate just for the sake of vain 'face'.
"That is self-degradation and harm to others. If you can understand this truth, then if I teach you this ritual, it can be regarded as a kind of inheritance."
The saint was somewhat nostalgic: "Because when I was given this ceremony, I was taught this way by an elder."
"...What ceremony?"
"This is a high-level ritual of Sui Father... Only chaste and healthy young people can use it. It is called [Dragon's Purifying Fire]. Sui Father prefers chaste, healthy and strong men."
The saint took a deep breath and said slowly: "You need to extinguish all artificial light sources within the visual range around you. No matter whether it is green fire, black fire, charcoal fire or wood fire, it is not allowed to exist.
"Then in the dark night in the open air, he poured his own blood on the iron block, put the iron block on the iron felt and beat it, while chanting -
"[This is not a golden flint, nor a wooden flint, this is a dragon flint. The dragon burns bones with blood, iron flint, and life with fire flint-"
"Then, the pure fire will be ignited on the iron block... This flame cannot be led by wood or grass, but it can be led into the wine pool. The more light sources are extinguished around, the stronger and chaste the young man will be, and the pure fire will be
The longer it lasts. Anyone who is cursed or sick can just take off their clothes and walk over the clean fire, and the curse on them can be burned away.
"This is an absolute ritual that can dispel almost all curses. But only healthy and strong men can withstand this power... If other people are cursed by this ritual, their skin will be burned by clean fire and they need to be completely protected from light for several days.
recover.
"It is important to note that this ritual cannot be used on the elderly, otherwise it will most likely lead to sudden death... and it must not be used to burn the corpses of others. As long as you introduce the pure fire to the corpse, it will permanently lose its use.
The power of the fire purification ceremony may also offend Sui Fu’s followers.”
The young man said seriously with a straight face: "Do you understand, boy? Purifying fire is a very serious thing..."
"I totally understand."
Si Anke nodded slowly.
——This is the ritual of the sacred Brother Shuang...
