Chapter 123 The Truth of the Ritual
"How is it? Yuzu, was the invasion successful?" Fang Yu communicated with Yuzu through the Core of Esseron.
"No, just a little bit," Yuzu said with a hint of regret. "After the ceremony, the external link of this monitoring changed, so we had to temporarily disconnect it. However, if we try again, it should be successful."
"You previously speculated that this God of Wealth was a transformed legendary wizard. The idea of communicating with reality through the Woking Mirror is indeed feasible."
"But, strangely enough, I didn't find any traces of legendary mages or high-level astral beings in this surveillance."
“It’s like this god of wealth doesn’t exist.”
Doesn't exist?
If it doesn't exist, what is the so-called magic of wealth?
What about these pastors?
To whom did they sacrifice their spiritual power?
Fang Yu pondered for a moment. "In other words, during the ceremony just now, no celestial gaze was projected towards us? Are you sure?"
Yuzu said firmly, "Of course, great master. You must know that my true form is a star crystal. No one is more familiar with the aura of the star realm than I am."
Fang Yu chuckled. Although he didn't know what this God of Wealth was all about, as long as he confirmed that the other party was not conscious during the ceremony, what else was there to worry about?
Claudia had been helped up by the silver-haired old butler and was lying on a soft chair beside her, sobbing.
Her snow-white skin trembled slightly with her sobbing, which was matched with her black long dress, which was really eye-catching.
There's a reason why the theme of the widow-stepmother remains so enduring.
"Lady Claudia, after little Mr. Belvedere comes of age, he can undergo another baptism of divine arts. There may be hope for him to master divine arts." Fang Yu comforted her.
Claudia sobbed twice more, stood up embarrassedly, took the handkerchief handed to her by the maid, lifted her veil and wiped her tears.
These tears are so big, no, these tears are so white.
Claudia's eyes were tinged with a faint blush, the mark of tears, like the reddish tint of morning light gently sprinkled on white petals. Her eyelids were slightly swollen, with a kind of sad beauty.
I have been to this world so many times before, but I have never met such a beautiful woman.
It's no wonder. The people I met before were either village women with red bloodshot faces from the sun, or proprietresses in suburban markets with voices louder than donkeys. I have rarely met young women or wealthy ladies.
It seems that there is still a lot to explore in this world.
"Reverend Salman," Fang Yu said to Claudia after comforting her. Then, he turned to Barry Salman and said, "I've thought about it. I'm willing to participate in this divine baptism. Can we start now?"
Barisalman was startled for a moment, then smiled. "Your Excellency Githdruid, I will first go and find the ceremonial priest to confirm."
As the introducer, he can take 5% of the profits for every person he introduces to be baptized.
Generally speaking, the gross profit margin of the baptism ceremony at Woking Temple is 100%.
That is 10,000 gold dukes, half of which is to be contributed to Woking's piety, and the other 5,000 is gross profit.
Of these 5,000, the chief temple of Woking Temple must first take 10%, which is 500 gold dukes;
The main temple of the diocese will take 10%;
The branch temples keep 30% for themselves;
The ritual priest draws 15%;
The introducer takes 5%;
The remaining 5% is distributed by the ceremony priest to the assistant priests and other members of the team.
As for the remaining 25%?
That's called drifting away.
It’s really like Sun Dianying paid homage to the Manchu mausoleum - it’s amazing.
After saying that, Barisalman ran to the golden-robed priest who was still heartbroken about the diamond and started muttering to himself.
The golden-robed priest was stunned at first, looked at Fang Yu twice, and then showed a happy expression.
Another sucker has come, at least this time I can make up for some of my losses.
Not long after, Barry Salman returned to Fang Yu with a greasy head and a troubled look on his face.
"I'm sorry, my dear Lord Githdruid, but the Lange ritual priest has used up all his spellcasting time today and cannot preside over another divine baptism."
Barisalman paused deliberately, and seeing that Fang Yu didn't react, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"However, the Langge ritual priest still has a ritual scroll in his hand. You know, the materials used for the scroll are expensive. The price of this ritual... hehehe."
Seeing that Fang Yu still had no reaction, Barisalman gritted his teeth and stretched out five fingers: "If you want to cast the spell now, you need to add at least five units of star diamonds!"
Fang Yu said leisurely: "Oh, I see. Then I'm not in a hurry. I can do this ritual anytime tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's just that I won't be able to cast the spell, which will be a little more troublesome."
"But just now, Butler Feis told me that the Governor's Suite at the Pearl Hotel in the city is only 5 gold dukes a day, and it comes with immunity to convenient spellcasting. I plan to stay there for the next few days."
"Whenever you can hold the ceremony, just let me know. Then, write the message on this piece of paper and fold it into a paper crane. It will find me automatically."
After saying that, Fang Yu took out an A5-sized letter paper and handed it to Barisalman.
"Uh..." Salman was momentarily speechless, then gave a dry laugh. "Hahaha, why bother? How about this, I'll make the decision on behalf of Langge Ceremonial Priest. As long as you can spare two more units of star diamonds, I'll perform the ceremony for you using this ritual scroll. How do you do that?"
"Your Excellency Githdruid, the ritual is a second-level divine spell scroll, and its market price will not be less than 600 gold dukes."
Fang Yu thought about it for a moment and said with a reluctant expression: "Okay then."
After saying that, Fang Yu took out a small cloth bag and took out 5 30-point diamonds and 3 10-point diamonds from it.
In fact, he took all these things out of the Boundless Messenger.
Fang Yu counted out four thirty-point diamonds and two ten-point diamonds and handed them to the assistant priest, then put the remaining two diamonds back into the cloth bag and put them back in his arms, as if these were the only diamonds he had.
"This is really all I have." Fang Yu blinked, a pained expression on his face. "If I didn't obtain the divine arts and only got the title of a priest, it would be a huge loss."
Salman's facial features wrinkled up as he smiled: "No, no, don't worry."
Fang Yu paid the money and stood as requested by Priest Langge. The eight assistant priests stood in the same positions as before. Then Langge took out a parchment scroll with a diameter of only 5 mm from the wooden box that had been prepared long ago.
Tearing the leather cord in the middle of the parchment scroll, the Lange priest opened the scroll and shouted "Aperi!"
Immediately afterwards, Fang Yu felt the surrounding magic network nodes responding.
Lange did not use Fang Yu's diamonds. Instead, he took out a small box, picked out 10 diamonds from it, and threw them into the pool.
Fuck! This is bad money driving out good money, right?
Save my diamonds and use your inferior ones?
Paralyzed.
Then, the water in the pool began to shimmer with starlight again, and soon turned into a mirror again.
"Master, the external link has been restored. I'm going to start the invasion." Youzi cheered up and informed Fang Yu.
When the starlight reflected by the eight small mirrors all shone on Fang Yu, Fang Yu felt that at least six magic network nodes around him gave different degrees of feedback.
Where is the 2nd level magic?!
This is clearly a ritual spell of at least 6th level!
No, that ritual is indeed a 2nd level spell.
Just now, only two magic network nodes were moving.
The movements of these six magic network nodes are not caused by ritual magic!
I see.
No wonder both Yuzu and I felt something was wrong.
How could a second-level spell grant an ordinary person the ability to cast spells?
This is totally unreasonable.
It turns out that someone has built a 6th-level spell into this magic network wave monitoring!
The second-level ritual is just a prelude to this sixth-level spell.
What kind of spell is this?
As the starlight shone, Fang Yu's mental power was gradually drawn into the pool by the starlight.
Fang Yu tried it and found that the traction was very gentle and he could still withdraw his mental power at any time.
As his mental power deepened, Fang Yu sensed the thousands of light spots in the pool.
As soon as you get close, some light spots will run away, but some light spots can be captured by mental power at any time.
There were also some light spots that were covered with some mental power. The mental power on these light spots was strong and weak. Fang Yu tried to touch them with his mental power, but was completely unable to penetrate.
Fang Yu carefully used his mental power to wrap up a tiny spot of light that was not covered by his mental power and studied it.
So that’s how it is.
No wonder not everyone can obtain divine arts.
It turns out that every starlight is a ready-made spell model!
These spell models have obviously been adjusted and are much more versatile than the models constructed by arcane mages themselves, but they are still not suitable for everyone. There will still be a considerable number of people whose mental frequency does not match the model, resulting in the inability to apply it.
It is estimated that reciting the so-called Woking Codex is to adjust the frequency of mental power to the frequency of the model.
The kid George didn't acquire the divine power. At first, Fang Yu was wondering if it was due to Yuzu's invasion. Now it seems that it was purely because of the mismatch in mental frequency.
"Yuzi, how is it? How's the progress?" Fang Yu asked Yuzi while trying to multitask, sensing the model information around him.
"It's almost done, it will only take three minutes at most!" Yuzu said confidently.
Just at this moment, the mirrored surface of the pool began to shake again.
In fact, in the previous chapters, some readers may have noticed that the content of the Pink Book is being laid out.
Writing the Pink Book is not entirely about being scared, but the pink system involves a major setting of the entire book.
What happened during the 16,000-year gap in the main plane, and how did the current civilizations come into being?
ps. Seven years ago, when I was writing my investment-themed novel, many readers criticized my conspiracy theory when I wrote about Mai Guo in the 100th chapter, mocking me for saying that conspiracy theories were too low. In order to maintain subscriptions, I changed this part at that time.
Now seven years have passed, and almost all conspiracy theories have been verified, haha.
There are always people who believe that this world is really a makeshift team.
How do you know that this idea is not something that others have taught you?
