Chapter 53 The Witch Who Has Been Out for a Long Time
The textures were the same at the beginning, but the left and right directions were different, and this clue gave some ideas.
"Can't it be that the left and right hands carve two patterns at the same time, and then recite the spell to start the ritual magic: awakening?"
After thinking, he immediately practiced it. Luo Ning picked up the potion on the table and swallowed some. After getting familiar with it, he felt an inexplicable sense of comfort. He finally understood why some people in his previous life were addicted to alcohol.
To adapt to this strange feeling, raise your left and right hands at the same time, and start moving at the same time with the index finger of your left and right hands, drawing magic patterns in the void.
Accompanied by the chanting lyrics I remembered before.
"Do you feel unwilling and resentful to the tortured soul?"
"Twisted bones, do you feel resentment and sad?"
"Hell God, listen to my hymns and give me your people."
"By the reputation of the Creator God, they will return to the earth and revenge the sinful on your behalf."
After the chanting was over, the two hands did not complete the pattern at the same time, but instead they were one after another. However, some thick dark green smoke began to appear on the originally calm wooden floor.
The smoke floated for a moment and returned to calm.
it works!
Judging from the scenes appearing on the wooden floor, ritual magic: awakening does require the left and right hands to carve the two patterns at the same time to achieve the magic effect.
The only problem is proficiency.
Previously, only one hand was needed to chant, but now I suddenly needed to portray it with two hands. Although the pattern texture at the beginning was exactly the same, the final stage was different, so the difficulty was much greater.
At the same time, you also need to chant those magic words, which means that the caster needs to achieve one-minded and three-purpose use, which is much more difficult than one-minded and two-purpose use.
Give up the idea of being eager to achieve success and start practicing seriously. First, it is the practice of pattern carving. The two hands start to carve the same texture, and later the patterns of the left and right hands begin to change.
An hour passed and finally it was quite decent. Luo Ning prepared a little, picked up the remaining potion and swallowed it. The burning sensation was exciting.
When I was excited, I began to carve two patterns and chant.
This time when the chanting ended, the two hands finished the pattern at the same time. Luo Ning quickly stopped breathing and looked at the wooden floor under his feet. The wooden floor reflected light under the bright light, slightly dazzling.
Soon this dazzling light was surrounded by the dark green smoke that appeared. The dark green smoke became more obvious over time, almost completely covering the wooden floor.
At this moment, a strange chant appeared in the air around him, with beautiful tunes, which sounded more like some kind of elegy, which made people feel sad and depressed.
In this strange chanting, some bright yellow light appeared in the dark green smoke. It was a fire that appeared faintly. Occasionally, the fire would rush to the soles of the feet, but there was no burning sensation.
A painful roar soon appeared in the chanting sound, which made people creepy. At this moment, Luo Ning felt that she was not in her bedroom, but standing above hell, and the strong smell of rotten came to her nose.
Soon after, a piece of white bone stretched out from the dark green smoke. After careful examination, it was the bones on the human arm. The white bones tried hard to climb out of the dark green smoke.
After a moment, more white bones were revealed, skulls, shoulder blades, and broken ribs, until this incomplete white bone stood up like a human, revealing its true appearance.
"Skeleton..."
A word popped up from Luo Ning's lips, and he couldn't help but take a step back, looking at the dozen skeletons standing up in front of him, secretly saying amazement.
"Ritual Magic: The magic function of awakening is to summon skeletons from hell, but this kind of skeleton looks too weak, how can it fight for itself?"
After adapting to the things in front of him, he stepped forward and touched the skeleton's body. The roughness of the bone surface was quite real, cold and without any temperature. However, after retracting his finger, he found that the finger of the hand that touched the skeleton turned purple-green, as if it was a dead person's finger.
After a while, the purple-green fingers returned to their flesh color, and the scene in front of them began to fade away. The skeletons gradually broke and fell down, disappearing into the dark green smoke. Then the smoke slowly disappeared until everything returned to normal in the room.
At this time, I saw Benjamin on the table already furious. He was obviously frightened by the situation just now, his eyes were filled with horror. After a moment, he jumped off the table and climbed to the windowsill to open the window and escaped.
It was getting late, and it was not too late to see the rest of tomorrow. Luo Ning yawned and walked up to close the window. She could stay in her house for a night tonight. When the witch came back tomorrow morning, she would know the true identity of the thief.
Lying on a chair and covering it with a cloak and falling asleep.
...
The endless darkness slowly emerged, and the source of the light was that only half of the candles were left on the candlesticks on the walls on both sides. The candlelight swayed and could only provide a view within ten meters.
There is endless darkness ten meters ahead and behind, and walls are on both sides.
Under the swaying faint candlelight, you can see that the walls on both sides are covered with moss. Some dense water droplets can be seen in the moss. The water droplets flow slowly, and when they gather together, they become larger water droplets, and then slide down the moss on the wall.
I looked down at the ground below my feet. The turbid water flooded the insteps and slowly flowed, making a gurgling sound, and the pungent stench made me suffocate.
"Where is this?" he couldn't help asking himself.
Suddenly, a light appeared in the darkness about fifty meters ahead, and some strange sounds could be heard, and the light kept moving with the sound.
Without time to think, I quickly ran over the light that appeared in the darkness in front of me, and the smelly water flowing under my feet made a "slap" sound.
When the light disappeared about fifty meters after chasing, the surroundings were all trapped in darkness, and the direction and location were not distinguished.
While hesitating, there was light again on both sides. The candles on the candlesticks on the wall were still lit, as if the ghosts had lit the candles for themselves.
This time, I slowed down and moved forward slowly. The candlelight on both sides slowly extended and lit up with the pace of moving forward, while the candles at the back were slowly extinguishing, always maintaining the lighting range of ten meters in front and back.
After walking about thirty meters, at the end, there was a wall, and the wall was still covered with moss and water droplets. At this time, a sound came from the right side. Looking along the sound, the light was about thirty meters away.
Through the environment, we can already tell that this is a sewer or something, but now the sewer is turning.
I continued to chase the light and ran over, and saw a half-closed iron door on the wall. The iron door was covered with rust, and there was a candlelight coming out of the crack of the door. At the same time, I could also hear the murmurs in the crack of the door.
"What's wrong? Is the amount of the potion smaller, or is there something wrong with the start of the magic ritual?"
Listening to the murmur coming from the iron gate, he slowly stepped forward and leaned his head up. When he was about to find out the truth, he was facing an eyeball in the crack in the door.
The eyeball was blood-red, and there was no white of the eye, but only the brown eyeballs were rotated.
"ah"
Luo Ning turned over and almost jumped up from the chair, closed her eyes and waved her hands randomly. After a moment, she heard a crisp greeting with a hint of fear and worry in her ears.
"Teacher Austin, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the sound, Luo Ning calmed down temporarily. It was Dongnina's voice. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the girl beside her look frightened and almost burst into tears.
In addition to the girls, there were desks, stoves, and windows. A little light from the windows shone through the curtains.
Just a dream...
Luo Ning then breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and squeezed out his smiling face and touched the girl's face.
"It's okay, it's just a nightmare. You go wash your face and I'll cook."
Watching the girl go to wash, Luo Ning sat on the chair, thinking about the dream, the sewer, the light, the iron door, and the murmur sounds coming from the iron door.
These things have never been seen before. As the saying goes, there is something to think about every day and dream about at night. This is obviously not something you can think of, so this fresh and terrifying dream is a dream reminder of the next inevitable event.
Who is the old man who keeps talking in the dream? If you find this old man, you will be able to understand more about the next inevitable event. This is a clue. Unfortunately, when you want to see the person in the crack of the door, you are scared to wake up.
Unexpectedly, the dream reminder of the second inevitable event was so sudden, and this dream reminder was too real. It was hard to tell whether it was a dream or a reality.
He shook his head, swept away the things in his mind, got up and washed up and then cooked.
It was the next morning, and it was logical that the witch should have turned back. The two agreed to follow the thief to confirm the other party's path to return immediately.
After breakfast, Ronin took Tonina to the classroom, taught the children, and rushed back home, but there was still no trace of the witch.
"Maybe the witch wants to follow the thief directly and determine the identity of the thief, or the journey is too far and it takes a long time to track it."
The second idea is just to comfort yourself, because the thief was able to return to check a few days after he released the message, which means that the other party should not be too far from Red Crow Town, so the first possibility is very high, and the witch's temper is more in line with the first guess.
After school, Donina, who was sitting at the table practicing flute alone, seemed to miss the witch a little.
"Where has Sister Cheryl gone? She hasn't been back for several days."
Luo Ning touched the girl's head.
"Wait a few more days, she will come back after she finishes her work."
During the three peaceful days, Ronin continued to practice ritual magic: awakening, and repair circuit problems for the residents of the town.
Until the fourth day, Red Crow Town welcomed a new guest.
The Black Iron Army Commander Akins visited Red Crow Town in person, which scared the residents of the town.
The noisy town was almost everywhere with soldiers from the Black Iron Army, and De Jong, a member of the Order Church who had been here last time, but De Jong had turned into a corpse.
All the doors and windows of the houses on the street were closed and no one went out.
Luo Ning was observing the tall man wearing black armor and leading many guards to walk back and forth on the streets of Hongqi Town, which was not long, through a corner of the window, with De Rong's body carrying behind him.
The tall man stopped at the door when he reached the second lap.
Luo Ning quickly lowered the corner of the curtain, returned to the desk and sat upright, put one hand in the half-open drawer of the desk, clasped the pistol tightly, and held the trigger with his index finger.
A knock on the door sounded.
"Dongdongdongdong..."
Luo Ning cleared his throat and pretended not to know anything to remind him.
"Come in, the door is not locked."
