"Ai Lei" went to the Kendo Hall of Delicious Wind Goose alone.
It can be said that they are a group of players with the strongest psychological quality... Delicious Wind Goose had already calmed down before "Ai Lei" arrived, and started investigating while pretending to be his own identity.
After "Ai Lei" arrived, he, like other players... gave Annan his trust easily. He also made an agreement that at midnight, he would bring Longjing tea and the stray children in front of Ai Lei's house.
Meet.
But Annan did not go looking for Longjing tea himself.
Because this is no longer necessary.
After that, he helped "Ai Lei" start carving the ceremony venue in the basement of his dojo.
——This is why Annan asked the wandering children to send ritual materials here.
[Annan, are you... planning to call the Bone Burial Granny? 】
"Not."
Annan said leisurely: "This is not a ceremony to call the burying mother-in-law."
"Did Ai Lei ask something?"
Delicious Wind Goose, who was kneeling on the ground and carving ritual lines with a silver ceremonial knife, raised his head when he heard this and explained with a smile: "She thought this was a ritual in the bone burial field? How could she think so?"
"It's very simple, because I have tested it before... As Ai Lei, I am completely unable to use the magic in the fields of [Skeleton] and [Betrayal]. And I have also tested it, and the ritual of the true god cannot be used..."
"Ai Lei" crossed her legs and sat on a chair carving wooden runes with a knife. She chuckled and turned her head to ask: "If it were you and you wanted to verify whether this is the Misty Continent, how would you use rituals to determine it?"
?”
"In my words... I should call Sir Silver. After all, as long as the price is enough, the success rate of the Silver Siren Ceremony is the highest - He will not refuse any form of transaction, as long as the price is right. If there are obviously trading behaviors and
Currency, but Yin Jue did not respond to the ceremony... then something must be wrong."
Delicious Wind Goose thought for a moment and nodded in response.
"well said."
Annan praised: "You are worthy of having studied rituals with Nefertari... When I get back, I will send you to Rasputin's house to teach you some top-secret large-scale rituals."
"...Um, boss. What you said is called setting a flag in our place. It is a bad behavior..."
Delicious Wind Goose said awkwardly.
Annan just smiled.
"Ailei" quickly changed the subject, lowering her head and carving the wooden block cut off from the chair, and commented: "Your behavior is correct. Because in Zhengshen, the Silver Siren and the cup-holder girl have no 'influence' on their progress.
In the case of assistance and positioning, the god with the highest response rate——
"For example, a bone burying mother-in-law when she doesn't encounter the undead, a red knight when she doesn't encounter a fight, a moth mother when women don't perform rituals... It's rare to respond to the ritual appeals of non-believers. And it depends on your mood.
Miss Luck, and the mysterious lady who is extremely demanding on accuracy, their existence will also disturb your judgment to a great extent.
"Like you, I tried Yin Jue's ritual before and found that it didn't work; but because this nightmare was caused by the Bone Burial Granny, I tried the Bone Burial Granny's ritual again and found that there was a response..."
"Ai Lei" said with a chuckle: "So I tentatively concluded that this is a world where 'other gods do not exist, only the Bone Burial Granny exists'. Ai Lei also heard the same thing."
But upon hearing this, Delicious Wind Goose frowned.
He just finished the carving ceremony, stood up, and looked at "Ai Lei" with her legs crossed and huddled in the chair strangely. Just when he was about to say something, the doorbell rang.
"It's a wandering child."
"Ai Lei" added.
So Delicious Wind Goose nodded and went to open the door first.
Because there were outsiders around, Ai Lei, who was still trying to keep quiet even though they couldn't hear her words, finally couldn't help but ask:
[Uncle Delicious Wind Goose, I seemed to have something to say just now... Did I miss something? 】
"...You don't need to call him uncle. Although he looks very...stable, he is only twenty-nine years old this year."
"Ai Lei" raised the corner of her mouth and chuckled: "I'm very happy that you can realize that there is a problem here... although it's still a little late."
"——Because this reasoning is wrong."
Delicious Wind Goose's steady voice came from the door: "Why did you conclude that there is only one righteous god in this world after you have only tried Silver Siren and Bone Burial Granny? This is completely unreasonable, and I don't think His Highness Annan is either.
It is possible to make such an inference..."
"Ai Lei" heard this and just smiled.
She walked forward and took the ritual materials from the delicious wind goose.
——Three black ram horns, three black goat horns, and three pairs of ox horns. There are also three black candles, three mirrors, a vial of crocodile tears, twenty-seven mouse hearts, and twenty-seven centipedes.
poison gland, a vial of Silent Ointment.
【……Huh?】
Ai Lei was startled when she saw it.
【this is not……】
"Does it look familiar, Elle?"
"Ai Lei" asked in a warm voice.
Of course Ai Lei will look familiar.
Some of these ritual materials...that is, three candles, three black ram horns, three black goat horns, and three pairs of ox horns are what Amos used when he sacrificed Elle to the Skeleton King.
Materials used in the "Contacting the Bones" ritual.
"You know what, Ellie."
Annan's tone was calm and he whispered word by word: "This ritual of [Contacting the Skeleton Lord] is actually a low-end version of another ritual.
"When it comes to [3], what do you think of?"
[Veto and the God of Darkness...Ms. Silence?]
"——That's right."
Annan replied.
As he spoke, he inserted the ritual materials in order into the ritual array carved on the ground by the delicious wind goose.
Each "horn" has its own place. Around the nine horns, mouse hearts and centipede venom glands are placed in groups of "nine", forming nine triangles - these are the heart and centipede venom glands of the baby.
Ritual replacement for the villain's brain.
After that, Annan placed three black candles on the outermost edge... and used three mirrors to form two overlapping triangles, and then lit the candles.
The moment the third candle was lit, the warm orange candle flame turned into a cold icy blue flame. Then, Annan extinguished the original light source in the room.
"Delicious Wind Goose is right. I just confirmed that Sir Silver's ritual is invalid, and I also confirmed that the Bone Burial Granny's ritual is valid... Why do you believe that the Bone Burial Granny is the only one in this world?
"I was also wondering, could it be that only the Bone Burial Mother was special? But then, I heard Amos say [Ya Weng's award], [the ceremony dedicated to Ya Weng]... Until then I could not be sure.
, there is a concept of 'ritual' in this world, but it is not so powerful and cannot summon extraordinary power.
"Then the question arises. Why is it that in this slice of the world, the righteous god exists but cannot respond to the ritual? In other words, why does the 'ritual' itself not have extraordinary power?"
Annan said... he burned the three wooden talismans he had carved with the runes of the Silent Lady on three candles respectively.
After the runes came into contact with the candle burning with the cold blue fire, they also flickered with a cold light. It was not like the wood was burned by the fire, but more like it was gradually "swallowed" by the fire.
Soon, the runes disappeared in Annan's hands.
The phantom-like runes appeared directly above the candle flame.
"The answer is very simple, because the non-existent god is not Sir Silver... but the mysterious lady."
Annan said, dropping crocodile tears on the three candles to extinguish them.
The candle flame was gradually extinguished, but the three rotating runes were still directly above the candle.
Finally, the flames were completely extinguished.
The three runes rotated quietly and silently.
"This is the main body of the ritual of 'Contacting the Bones'... [Contacting the Dark Night]."
——Not contact with the Lady of Silence, but contact with the night.
At the moment when the ceremony is successful.
The whole world fell into dusk at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And the success of this ritual...means that all Annan's previous inferences are correct.
It's not that the sun is setting, but that time is passing by a thousand times - if you could see the people outside at this time, it would be like watching a fast-forward video, seeing them running around so fast.
This ceremony, without anyone noticing, directly set the world's time to nine o'clock in the evening.
The delicious geese and wandering children around them have disappeared without a trace... They should have found Longjing tea by now. According to Annan's previous instructions, they may be on their way to the rice fields, or they may be assassinating "
"Unworthy Descendants".
But none of them are in the kendo gym... If everything goes well, they should not be crazy now.
"It's blackjack now. Two plus one is three; blackjack is also [nine o'clock at night], nine is three times three; there are also three hours between nine and twelve...also
That is to say, there are still three hours until midnight. This is Lady Silence's 'holy hour'."
"Ai Lei" calmly raised her head.
"——I will start to announce the answers here and now."
