Chapter 104 - Testing "Sacrifice"
In a row of houses at 2 Daffodil Street in Tingen City, Klein opened a thick envelope. Inside was a letter from Mr. Azik.
"The matter you asked
about the last ti, I've recalled so things over the past few days. It seems to have left a deep impression on . Perhaps, in one of my lives, or rather, in my earliest life, I often did such things."
"Although I said it last ti, I have to remind you again. I warn you that you have to be careful when using this ritual. You can't entrust your safety to 'Their' consciences. 'They' don't have such things."
Mr. Azik had written it very vaguely. He didn't ntion the words "sacrifice" at all... That's right. Although I don't know why this letter suddenly appeared in my room, it wouldn't be good if lissa or soone else opened it privately and saw so words that shouldn't be seen. Even if most people couldn't understand Hers.
With this in mind, Klein skipped over the things Mr. Azik emphasized and directly read the rest of the ritual.
"Firstly, the environnt used for the sacrificial ritual is to engrave the corresponding symbols and use herbs and ores that belong to 'His' domain. Of course, it can also be used to make holy oil, ointnt, incense, etc."
This part was similar to the information provided by Tower. It was part of pleasing the gods. Yes, it could be saved.
As for symbols, Klein already had an idea.
The "vertical eye" symbol that the puppet gave him when he was on duty at Chanis Gate should be the symbol of the upper echelons of the Antigonus family. It might even be the symbol of The Half-Fool that Tower ntioned.
And the symbol of The Fool that doesn't belong to this era is probably the complicated symbol behind the high-back chair at the end of the long bronze table. It's the complicated symbol ford from the Pupil-less Eye which represents concealnt and the partial symbol of change, the Line of Distortion.
Or should I say, my symbol above the gray fog... The domain is very simple. Concealnt, change, good luck... But I can't be sure. I can only try to do it... Yes, even if the symbol is wrong, under the premise that the honorific na is correct, the sacrificial target won't point to another existence. At most, it will cause the ritual to fail. I can be sure of this... Klein rubbed the surface of the paper thoughtfully as he ca up with a plan.
His gaze regained its focus as he looked at the subsequent parts.
"Secondly, do it according to the normal ritual until you finish chanting the honorific na and prayer sentence."
"You have to rember that you have to use Jotun, Dragonese, Elvish, or ancient Hers to communicate with the corresponding existence through the direct connection between them and the powers of nature. You can design the exact words yourself, but you have to have a few keywords—'pray', 'watch', 'offer', 'kingdom', 'door', 'open'."
The information provided by this part of the "Tower" was even more detailed. It even explained so of the principles, allowing
to modify it more easily... Did he think that I was an ancient god who had revived and might not understand modern sacrificial rituals, afraid that I would ask for blood like in ancient tis, so he deliberately explained it so clearly?
As Klein guessed at Tower's thoughts, he continued reading the content below. It was also what he was most concerned about.
"Finally, use materials with spirituality and combine them with the vibrations caused by the incantation to create an initial passageway that connects to the corresponding door of the kingdom. If that person is interested, your ritual can be completed."
As expected, I still need materials with spirituality... I wonder if just reciting the incantation will allow
to open a sacrificial passage similar to the Door of Summoning. Will I be able to use so of the powers of the mysterious space above the gray fog... Yes, I'll give it a try first. If it doesn't work, I'll have to be extravagant... After all, the Tarot Club is in the afternoon. The Tower and The Hanged Man are definitely waiting for my results.
Klein put down the letter and quickly took action. He locked the wooden door, took out the silver ritual dagger, and sealed the entire room with a wall of spirituality. Then, he took four steps counterclockwise and boarded the gray fog.
Although Tower and Mr. Azik had no reason to harm him, he had to first confirm that the ritual wasn't dangerous.
The grayish-white fog remained unchanged as the crimson illusory stars hung in the distance. Klein sat in the grand palace that resembled a giant's residence as he silently looked at the familiar scene before him.
After a few seconds, he retracted his gaze and made a yellowish-brown goatskin appear in front of him. Then, he picked up his pen and wrote down the incantation that had been changed according to the information provided by Tower.
"Light a candle to symbolize yourself."
"Use the wall of spirituality to create a holy environnt;
"Recite the following incantations:
"!"
"I summon in my na:
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era, The Mysterious Ruler above the gray fog, The King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck."
...
After carefully examining it three tis, Klein wrote a divination statent at the bottom:
"It's dangerous to carry out these rituals outside."
Phew. He exhaled, put down the pen, and removed the silver chain from his sleeve. He held it with his left hand.
When the topaz pendant quietly floated above the goatskin and almost touched the divination statent, he reined in his thoughts and entered a state of Cogitation.
"It's dangerous to carry out these rituals outside."
"It's dangerous to carry out these rituals outside."
...
After reciting it seven tis, Klein opened his nearly black eyes and saw the topaz pendant turning counterclockwise.
This ant that there was no danger!
"I can give it a try." Klein quickly made the item he conjured in front of him disappear. He extended his spirituality to envelop himself and simulate the feeling of plumting.
After returning to his bedroom, Klein had already sealed the entire room with a wall of spirituality. He imdiately cleaned his desk and erected the altar to pray to himself.
Taking two steps back, Klein looked at the candle that symbolized him and shouted in Jotun,
"!"
Following that, he switched to Hers.
"I summon in my na:
"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the King of Yellow and Black who wields good luck."
Just as he finished his sentence, he imdiately felt his spirituality being frantically extracted. However, he endured the discomfort and finished reciting the subsequent incantations.
However, when he finished reciting the incantation, the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Nothing happened.
I didn't summon anything... Ah right, perhaps I need to respond above the gray fog... It's really troubleso to summon myself... Klein pinched his aching forehead and muttered silently.
He slowed down for more than ten seconds before taking four steps counterclockwise. When he arrived above the gray fog again, he saw circular patterns of light at the end of the ancient long table.
This ca from the strange symbol behind the corresponding high-back chair. It was a strange symbol ford by the Pupil-less Eye, which symbolized concealnt, and the part that symbolizes change, the Line of Distortion.
Klein only made a gesture of reaching out his hand to touch it when he heard "I! I summon in my na
