The last time Mr. Kipling cast the magic trick was to start the enhancement ritual for midnight. After that, he gradually felt that the magic trick slowly left his body, like a hole in a place that was invisible to the barrel, and the sweet wine disappeared. At the same time, he felt that his body was aging more and more, and the deadline seemed to be getting closer.
The goddess missed me, and she asked me to leave the mortal world and work in heaven.
Old Man Kipling had always thought this way, so he had been secretly preparing his funeral. He urged Feiqi to learn the magical arts, and he knew that he was a little anxious, but time might be more anxious than him. He thought he would die in the Holy Triple Fortress, so he would just buried it there directly, and it would not be used to see the grief expressions of the people in the Bingfeng Fortress at the moment of death. It was simple to meet his wishes. But he really didn't expect that he would completely lose his magical arts and not lose his life before this.
"I can still get a response in prayer. My piety has not shaken. I am not a believer." Old Man Kipling said slowly: "The Goddess who blasphemed the Goddess or those who seriously violate the doctrines all lose their divine art and corresponding abilities in an instant, and suffer immediate physical and mental blows. The goddess is kind and does not execute her, but only gives them profound lessons. In fact, she still hopes that the Destroyers can repent and atone for their sins. Although I don't know why the Goddess took my divine art, she still leaves me in the mortal world, but this is not a punishment."
"Maybe the goddess has other arrangements for you?" Feiqi guessed.
"I don't know, and I dare not guess. I can only continue to pray and listen to the echo. I will continue to do this until I get guidance or end my life - no matter which one it is, I will accept it happily." The old man Kipling looked at Feich and sighed slightly: "Child, I know that it is against the regulations to report the official members in advance, but I really want to fight for you a good future. I have always asked Kelly to train you strictly with the highest standards, hoping that you can endure hardships and make the road ahead easier. If it weren't for this training standard, you would have actually been able to carry out the enhancement ceremony. You are all good children, and I am willing to take risks for you, but I really didn't expect that Feich would eventually be needed to solve the troubles I stayed."
Feiqi understood the old man's good intentions and would no longer refuse the enhancement ceremony. This was just a good thing that went wrong, not a trap to hurt several young people. He nodded vigorously at the old man Kiplin, then turned to look at Tron, Wumama and Ramsden.
"Give me three days, I'll prepare well. After three days, I'll start to carry out the enhancement ritual for you. Ramsden, your enhancement potion has relatively weak effect. You come first, followed by Wumama and Tron. I will do my best to solve the problems related to healing spells and rituals, but if there are any problems at that time, we can only grit our teeth and hold on!"
"Just this little thing, don't delay it." Tron stretched out his hand and placed it among a few people: "I want me to tell you that every time I go hunting monsters and performing missions, don't you work hard? Compared to taking risks alone, I am in the fortress now, with comrades around me, what else is there to be scary? How can I get a good life if I don't fight hard!"
Wumama put his hand on and said simply: "You won't harm me."
Ramsden hesitated for a moment, and after Wumama glanced at him, he quickly put his fat hand on: "I agree, I just feel a little nervous when I get the first one. Well... can I make a request? I hope you can watch me all the way, so I dare to be the first one!"
"Of course we will do this together. No matter who is in the ceremony, everyone else will pray." Feiqi folded his hand on the top, and under his palm was a heavy trust: "Success! Be stronger!"
"Successfully become stronger!" the four people said in unison.
After the matter was settled, the three people who were about to attend the ceremony regained their strength, adjusted their spirits, and reached their best state. Kelly and Giles carried all the defense and chores of the fortress, and also took care of the old man Kiplin. The old man had no magical skills and no energy to read books, and prayed all day long in the meditation and salvation of the tower. Except for the meal time Giles helped him down, he almost never showed up.
The four young people decided to face the enhancement ceremony together, but turned around and broke their promise. The lack of healing ability means that he cannot guide the goddess's power in the aspect of "kindness", and the enhancement ceremony must be lame. He claimed that he wanted to change this situation, but Feiqi himself knew very well that it was absolutely not enough to become "kind" in three days. Feiqi has no method or clue, and there is no time to think and study.
Since the enhancement ceremony will inevitably be lame, Feiqi decided to change his thinking. This is like a program that cannot be avoided, which will cause the program to be effective or not. The bug cannot be removed now, but this does not mean that there is no way to deal with the program. As long as you can understand what the program is like when the program is wrong, and then patch the performance after the error and reduce the error to a bearable level, then the program can still be used. After all, imperfection does not mean useless!
Based on this idea, Feiqi came to the enhancement ritual room underground in the fortress alone and prepared to use the enhancement ritual to himself. This obviously violated the promise of "four people together", but anyway, this promise did not form a formal contract, so why should a devil abide by it? Besides, he was not prepared to use any enhancement potion - in fact, there was nothing unnecessary - and he also had the ability to resurrect through hell to insure himself, so he dared to toss himself boldly.
In order to prevent people from being seen when they die and are resurrected, he only brought the ghost cat to come over at midnight. Of course, there is no cat to preside over the ceremony. This is not a meow meow, but you can use the emotional link between the mage and the magic pet to get an extra angle to observe the ceremony. Feiqi found materials based on the ritual manual, which was enough for him to draw ritual runes dozens of times. These things were placed in the warehouse, and because they were not valuable, they were very large, and they would not alarm anyone when they were taken.
"Coal balls, just stay at the door and don't run around. Tell me when you hear something happening outside."
According to the records of the ceremony, the ceremony can still be started without the enhancement agent, and the "transformation" will still be started, but it cannot increase the function on the body. In other words, the risks that should be present and the pain that needs to be endured are all there, but there will be no effect, and it will be in vain. For those who need to become stronger, this kind of adventure is meaningless; but if Feiqi wants to know what kind of results he will lead to hosting the ceremony, this is what he must do.
The place where the enhancement potion was originally placed was now empty, and Feiqi only needed to focus on arranging the ritual runes. Although "no effect should be available", the thirty-six runes should still be arranged well and you should not do it randomly. Feiqi thought about it and it was best not to cause himself to die for the first time in this experiment. It is better to start from the weakest way first. He chose a plan that optimizes more than changes and consolidates overwhelming enhancement.
"Even if there is an enhancement potion, this rune array... must be put out by the most cowardly person." Feiqi stood in the center with a hint of expectation, gave Midnight a thumbs up, and then began to pray.
The prayers are fixed. The priest calls the power of the goddess, and then guides the goddess' blessings through divine art as a medium. Feiqi calls sincerely, the holy emblem in the palm of his hand shines and turns hot, and the response of the divine art echoes in his ears. He can hear a distant, graceful, but at the same time implies a sonorous rhythm in his bones.
This is the feedback of the magical arts, which other magical arts do not have. The closer the soul is to the kingdom of God, the clearer and more beautiful the sounds you hear. What Feiqi hears is not so clear and beautiful, but like a disturbing radio station, full of intervals and sound picking. However, as long as the power of the magical arts comes down, the ritual can be activated.
The arc began to jump, biting Feiqi's body in one bite, and the stinging feeling pierced in like a needle. Feiqi's face was twisted, and she really wanted to jump outside the ritual array in one step.
Without the kind-hearted part of the magic, the ritual became even more unbearable. The last time Feiqi performed the enhancement ceremony, it didn't hurt so much, it was hosted by Mr. Kipling. Fortunately, the enhancement ceremony was only performed once in a lifetime, and Tron and others did not have experiences like him, so they could not make comparisons. Feiqi decided to "tell the truth" and told them that the ritual was so painful, so they would not say "it was more painful than normal". They didn't know anyway.
The pain can be endured, but the ceremony cannot be stopped. Feiqi must first ensure the integrity of the ceremony. He gritted his teeth and persevered in the ritual array, ending again and again withstand electric shocks again and again. He could definitely pat his chest to ensure that the electric shock will only make people more irritable and painful, and will never have the ability to heal. Because the rune function design of this ceremony is very simple, it ended in three hours.
"Can run down!" Feiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and his body was still emitting a faint blue smoke, shaking out of the magic circle. While the memory and wounds were still "hot", he seized the time to record the physical injury, and then combined with the memories at midnight to record the more important changes in the ceremony.
Then he began to repeat the experiment. This time, the rune arrangement was not changed, it was completely the same. Three hours later, he frowned at the obviously lighter wound on his skin.
"In the whole ceremony, the runes and currents are exactly the same. Why are the wounds not that serious? This body is just an ordinary human body of Fitch Hall, not a contract demon, so it should not have any resistance."
Originally, he should have changed the runes and started a new experiment, but this phenomenon made him decide to do it again. After three hours of electric shock, the wound became lighter. Even if he continued to attend the ceremony based on the previous wound, the weakening was still very obvious.
"Since that's the case..." Feiqi thought about it, changed the rune and put out the rune array that he enhanced the ritual at that time. Last time, he had only been out for twelve hours inside, and he needed a comparative experiment to verify his ideas.
Six hours later, the ceremony ended, and it was likely that there was no effect of the enhancement agent. Feichi was almost roasted from the inside out, which showed that there was no kindness to cause more serious harm. He had to commit suicide once, regaining his body's wounds by consuming his soul.
Then he went out for a meal, pretended to be fine and greeted everyone, told jokes, and then used the excuse of "I want to continue researching". He stood in the enhancement ritual array again, and was just seeing Midnight sitting opposite him, looking at him with his eyes slanted.
"I'm not masochist, really. This is the spirit of exploration!"
