Chapter 581: Temple
After Dorothy knew the requirements for her promotion to the Red Rank, she immediately began to collect the various necessary items. So far, she has obtained two of the six divine objects required for promotion, and three more can be obtained at any time.
The Deep Blue Heart of the Cup and the Lamp of the Netherworld are now in Dorothy's magic box. The Holy Scroll of the Lamp is being kept by Vanya. The Phantom Scale Incense Cage of the Shadow has been taken away by the little fox and has been successfully re-materialized by the Butterfly Sect. The little fox said that it can be sent to you at any time through the Artisan Association. Dorothy Thomas and Beverly Faw have already collected the deposit and rent for the Blessed Object of the Stone and can rent it at any time.
It can be said that Dorothy already has five of the six items she needs. However, among these five items, except for the deep blue heart that she had at the beginning, none of them were what Dorothy tried to obtain at the beginning. What Dorothy wanted to get at the beginning was the item that "inspired" her spirituality.
When Dorothy was promoted to Cretaceous, the "Initiation" Holy Emblem she needed was made by herself through the system, so at the beginning, Dorothy also wanted to follow the same method of making the Holy Emblem to make the "Initiation" Blessing Object. She randomly found an object and placed it in front of her like before, then prayed to herself to bless this object, but in the end, the result was that this object had the characteristics of the Holy Emblem, but it did not become a Blessing Object.
After a failed attempt, Dorothy did not give up, but began to change different items, different prayers, and different forms to try to bless them, but in the end the effect was not good, no item became a blessed object, at most they just became holy emblems.
At this point, Dorothy realized that the creation of a blessed object was not as simple as a holy emblem. The existence of a blessed object, as a support for various major ceremonies, allowed the church to repair churches and preserve them, and allowed the White Stonemasons to pay a deposit of nearly 100,000 pounds to lease it. It did not seem to be as simple as making a holy emblem. It must require some specific ceremony. Now, Dorothy had to ask Beverly about the issue in detail.
"Making a divine object... this is not a simple matter. It does require a ceremony, a ceremony that can communicate with the gods. The priest needs to pray for the gods' blessings during the ceremony. After the gods accept the prayer and bestow their blessings, the divine object can be created. Moreover, the scale of this ceremony is not small. Do you have the venue to hold such a ceremony?"
In the "Wenhai Navigation Guide" in front of Dorothy, Beverly's neat handwriting appeared on the paper as if it was printed, and there seemed to be some interesting meaning between the words.
"Don't worry about the rest for now. Just tell me if you know how to perform this ceremony. If you do, I want to buy it."
Dorothy responded to Beverly on the page, and she responded immediately.
"Of course I know~ Actually, you have come to the right person to ask me this question. If you buy the creation rituals of blessed objects from other places, they will most likely sell you a single spirituality. But I can tell you that many different spiritualities have the same rituals. Although they look very different on the outside, the principles and core are the same. No matter how they change, they remain essentially the same, and this also includes the blessed rituals.
"For this ritual, you only need to master the basic prototype and modify it according to the characteristics of different spiritualities and target gods. Then you can arrange a blessing ritual for different spiritual blessed objects. I happen to have the prototype and basic modification guide here. If you need it, I'll give you 1,200 pounds~"
Beverly's name appeared on the page of "Wenhai Hangzhi". Dorothy couldn't help swallowing when she saw the passing number that appeared.
"One thousand two hundred pounds... For me... I have never paid so much for a secret knowledge..."
"One thousand two hundred pounds... This is a bit too expensive. Can you make it a little less? I'm an old customer." Dorothy wrote on the bargaining page. As for Beverly, her reply was even quicker.
"This is a large-scale religious ceremony. It's not expensive. I've already given you a big discount on the price of the sacred items before. You should consider this." Beverly wrote. Looking at the other party's words, Dorothy didn't have time to bargain anymore, so she responded.
"Okay, twelve hundred is twelve hundred. How should I pay it?"
"You can give it directly to the local craftsman and he will take it. After I confirm that it is correct, I will send it to you. It will be delivered through a special channel and will be delivered to you within two days. You just stay in Adria and don't leave. The craftsman will pick it up the day after tomorrow."
Beverly said this to Dorothy and responded. Dorothy thought for a moment after reading Beverly's letter. Anyway, he would be waiting for Edward's secret message in Adria for the near future, so it didn't hurt to wait a little longer.
"Okay, I'll pay right away."
“Thank you for your patronage~”
…
Afterwards, Dorothy controlled the puppet to come back to get the money, took it to the craftsman's association, and transferred the money to the account provided by Beverly. Then she stayed in Adria for another two days, resting and enjoying herself. After the agreed time, Dorothy sent her puppet again to the local craftsman's association to receive the goods. Sure enough, she received the package sent by Beverly.
After taking the package back to the hotel where she was staying, Dorothy immediately began to unpack it. She then found a not very thick booklet inside. When she opened it, she found a very complete set of Preet words, which were obviously typed out by a machine.
"Could it be that the clockwork man wrote this on the spot after receiving the money?"
Looking at the brand new booklet in front of her, Dorothy couldn't help thinking that in the past, the secret books she received were all old and shabby, all handwritten. The calligraphy of the authors was better than the other, and it was very modern and mysterious at first glance, giving people a "taboo" feeling. Dorothy felt that this booklet, which was only printed yesterday, was like an instruction manual or a brochure from a merchant. When you walk on the street, someone handing out advertisements will stuff it into your hand, and then you throw it into the trash can. Dorothy really didn't expect that this "cheap" secret book would be the most expensive thing he had ever bought.
"If I sell this thing, I don't think anyone will believe that it is a secret document worth more than a thousand pounds..."
Dorothy sighed with a smile, then she sat down in her seat, opened the pamphlet-like booklet and read the contents inside. Since the font was very neat and tidy, unlike some secret works where the notes were too unrestrained and free, requiring special identification, Dorothy read the contents very quickly.
The secret book in Dorothy's hand should be something Beverly read somewhere and copied to her. It records the principles and elements of the divine blessing ritual, explains the basic prototype of a divine blessing ritual, and introduces the characteristics of different spiritual divine blessing rituals, as well as guidance on other spiritual modifications from the prototype, including "inspiration", and even lists detailed references for some different gods. The gods given as examples are the King of Light and the Goddess of Fertility. It can be seen that this secret book should be from the end of the Second Age or the early Third Age.
After quickly going through the contents of the secret transmission, Dorothy almost mastered the method of the ceremony. She found that the blessing ceremony has four key points. The first and most important is the approval of the gods, which means that the gods being prayed must agree to bless and grant the blessing. The secret transmission says that the approval of the gods is the foundation of the entire ceremony, and everything else needs to be built on it.
