From this royal sacrificial book, Dorothy learned that the succession ceremony of each Baruch king must be held in Rahman's tomb. The succession of King Baruch there symbolized that Rahman would give the supreme power of Adus to the next king.
The location of Rahman's tomb is unknown to outsiders. Only the high-ranking royal family members and royal priests of the Baruch Dynasty know it. When each king ascends the throne, they will bring the royal sacrificial book and the king's certificate and go to the royal tomb secretly to hold a ceremony there to obtain the qualification to be the king. After that, they will return to Addis to hold the succession ceremony before the people.
It is said that in the tomb of King Rahman, the king will face the soul of Rahman and be tested in front of him. If he passes the test, the king will be able to return to the throne. If he fails the test, the king will be deprived of the qualification for inheritance, and the second heir will be tested as the king. If he still fails, the third heir will take over, and the test will continue until someone passes. Therefore, this ceremony is also called the Royal Trial.
'The royal family trial... I never thought that this already corrupt and almost extinct dynasty... would still have such a legacy. I don't know what kind of successor is needed to pass the test. If this trial is very strict and only a wise ruler with excellent qualities can pass, then why has Baruch become so corrupt today?'
Looking at the "Royal Family Sacrifice Book" in front of her, Dorothy thought to herself, she really didn't know what kind of test a guy like Mazar could pass. Moreover, Mazar seemed to be more than one good-for-nothing in the Baruch royal family. Maad didn't look like a big shot, and he could mess up the country like this. The other royal families were probably insects. How could they pass the trial? How easy could the trial be if they could pass it?
After sighing for a while, Dorothy turned her attention back to the "Book of Royal Sacrifices", which not only recorded the origin of royal sacrifices and the specific location of Rahman's tomb, but also the specific steps for holding royal sacrifices, including how to open the royal tomb and how to use ritual vessels to arrange the ceremony.
Among these ritual vessels, one caught Dorothy's attention. This ritual vessel was called the "Lamp of the Underworld" and was the most important utensil in the whole ceremony.
According to the description in the "Royal Sacrifice Book", this Lamp of the Underworld is a precious instrument blessed by the gods. It is a treasure obtained by Rahman some time ago. It is the key node in the sacrificial ceremony and the entire sacrificial ceremony cannot be started without it.
"Items blessed by gods, this is a divine object! And from the name, it's obvious that it's a 'silent' divine object! How could the Baruch royal family keep such a thing as a 'silent' divine object!?"
Looking at the contents of the "Royal Sacrifice Book", Dorothy's eyes lit up and her heart was filled with excitement. She didn't expect to find clues about the "Silence" God's Blessing here, and she didn't expect it to be in the hands of the Baruch royal family.
As long as we can confirm which royal family is keeping this thing, and I can get it by myself, will it be in my hands soon? Given the current destitute nature of the Baruch royal family, isn't it easy to get them?
With this idea in mind, Dorothy immediately began to carefully observe the "Royal Sacrifice Book" in the hope of finding specific clues about the Lamp of the Underworld. But when she finished reading the sacrificial book, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
According to the records in the sacrificial books, because the prop of the Underworld Lamp is too important and is deeply tied to the sacrificial ritual, the storage place of the Underworld Lamp is inside the Mausoleum of King Rahman. At the beginning of each ceremony, the person conducting the ceremony needs to take out the Underworld Lamp to arrange the ceremony. After the ceremony, the Underworld Lamp is put back into the royal mausoleum, and then the mausoleum is sealed, waiting to be taken out and used at the next ceremony.
In other words, the current Lamp of the Underworld is not in the hands of any member of the Baruch royal family, but is lying quietly in the Mausoleum of King Rahman. If one wants to obtain this divine object, one can only open the mausoleum and take it from it. However, this sacrificial book records the hidden location of the mausoleum and how to open it.
Looking at the contents of the sacrificial book, Dorothy couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a moment. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that when I come to Beiwu, I still have to experience the intangible cultural heritage and traditional sports activities here. I didn't expect that after dealing with many Beiwu tomb robbers... I also want to rob tombs myself one day..."
…
Just as Dorothy was checking Baruch's national treasure box in her hotel, on the edge of the city of Kankedal, in a dense forest in the suburbs, a dark-skinned man wearing a northern black robe was running quickly in the dense forest. His speed was so fast that it was not like that of an ordinary person.
While running in the dense forest, the man turned his head and looked at the woods behind him. He saw a lot of green smoke rising from the distance in the woods, as if something was burning over there. The direction the man looked in was Robert's secret villa on the outskirts of Kankedal, where the undead of Mazarre were once imprisoned.
"Huh...Huh...Why...Why did the Inquisitor suddenly come here? What happened to Robert? Why did he suddenly fall out with the Inquisitor? Aren't they on the same side regarding the Mazar issue?"
After a long run, the man stopped and leaned against a tree, panting and talking to himself. His expression showed fatigue and confusion.
"No... We have to report it right away..."
Gritting his teeth, the man moved his exhausted body, knelt on the ground, and quickly drew a magic circle. Then he took out a test tube from his clothes, which contained a little red powder.
Kneeling beside the magic circle, the man chanted a spell. After he finished, he opened the lid of the test tube and sprinkled the powder out. The powder spontaneously ignited above the magic circle, emitting a large amount of smoke. These smokes automatically gathered above the magic circle and finally formed a vague human figure like a ghost. After the human figure looked at the man, he spoke.
"What's the hurry? Yakaru."
"Something unexpected happened, sir! The base where Robert is located was raided by people from the Bureau of Inquisition just now! I was outside the base when I saw that things were not going well, so I escaped! For some unknown reason, Robert had a falling out with the judge from Saint Lin Mountain!" the man explained. His words surprised the smoke-like figure.
"What? Where is Sazoya? Where is she? Why are you alone here now?"
"I don't know. Sadroya suddenly disappeared some time ago, and I left the base just to look for her. Unexpectedly, the people from the Judgment Bureau died soon after I came out, and all the other people in the base were arrested. I was lucky enough to escape, and then I ran away. During that time, I didn't see Sadroya."
The man responded to the 䲾烟人形, who hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak.
"What about the things? Did Robert and Maad give us what we wanted?"
"This, this is not available yet, Your Excellency. According to Robert, that thing is Baruch's secret treasure, which can only be held by the First Crown Prince. Before Mazar died, he deposited it with the profiteers of the Artisan Guild. After Mazar died, they planned to go to the Artisan Guild to handle the procedures for personal inheritance, but the procedures are very complicated and have not been completed yet, so the thing is still stored."
