quicksilver blood

Chapter 107 Stealing Blood

Because of Karal's dislike of wizards, the basement of the Thousand Heads Tomb does not have a magic circle to provide light, and the entire basement should be completely dark.

But in the deepest part of the tunnel-like basement, there was a dim blood-red light flickering faintly.

It was a circular altar.The area alone is about fifty square meters.

The altar used black stone as the base, with a magic circle painted with mercury on it. Sulfur blocks carved into viscera were placed at the five corners of the magic circle, and a thin layer of salt was sprinkled on the magic circle.

At this moment, Claudia was quietly curling up in the center of the circle, her face pale and bloodless.There was obviously no wound on her body, but the mercury flowing slowly on the magic circle had already been stained with a faint bright red.

"……really."

Roland squinted his eyes, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

Now, he finally understood who Claudia's enemy was.

He had a premonition when he learned that Claudia was captured in the Tomb of Thousand Heads, but he was not sure yet.

Because maybe Claudia was just caught here instead of being put into this magic circle.

But when Roland saw the normal operation of the blood stripping circle, he realized that the Crowley family was in danger-it's a pity that he came a step late, otherwise he should just be able to catch that guy.

Although the Tomb of Thousand Heads is just a dungeon of the Black Iron Stairs, this dungeon has a very important function, that is, it is the only place other than the White Pagoda where the bloodline stripping ceremony can be performed.

This is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient alchemists and wizards-that is, also called wizards.

Using sulfur, mercury, and salt to replace the body, mind, and spirit of the ritual performer, the difficulty of the ritual, which is more difficult than exchanging blood, has been greatly reduced, and it has become a simple operation like blood transfusion.

To put it simply, it is to put the victim into the magic circle. After the witchcraft ceremony is completed, the blood of the victim will be considered to be transformed into the blood of the victim.

Although what they wanted to do at the beginning was to steal the blood of the silver species and even the gold species to increase their lifespan, they obviously found that they had failed.

The inheritance of the blood of silver is not only reflected in the physical body, it is also synchronized in the spirit.If you just transform your own bloodline into silver blood without modifying the purity of your soul at the same time, then you will only become a terrible monster in the end.

That is the so-called ancient ferocious one.

Almost all those terrifying monsters with pure silver blood or even golden blood have awakened their origins, and with the combat experience gained from the depths of their blood, their individual combat power far exceeds that of demons of the same level.But they have lost their spiritual consciousness and turned into a tangled mass of meat.

However, this ritual still has its meaning, that is to steal the blood of creatures of the same race.

——For example, kill all the heirs of a family, then steal their blood, and obtain the right to inherit the family as the only remaining illegitimate child of the family.

Although the transformation ability of the enemies of Kabbalah is terrible, there is a fatal flaw, that is, their transformation is rooted in the image determined by "fantasy", not to mention imitating blood, such as private, secret places There is a deformity like a birthmark that they can't reproduce if they don't know it.

Then, pass on all the information you have now—two enemies of Kabbalah who don’t know each other, the forest occupied by the Twilight Seeds, Bansa who was almost destroyed from within by the Twilight Seeds three years later, the hereditary earl who is obviously low-key The terrifying Crawley family, the replica image of Claudia that is out of date for a month... and finally, the blood-stealing ritual table and the missing ritual master.

Roland narrowed his eyes.

There is no doubt that the pawns buried by the Twilight Infectors who set off a wave of destruction in Bantha are undoubtedly the Crowley family.The method is to let the enemies of the Kabbalah steal the blood of the Crowley family, use the Crowley family as a wedge to drive into Bansa, and destroy this behemoth from the inside.

It became clear that the enemies of Kabbalah that Roland had suspected before had taken a fancy to the knowledge in Claudia's mind - what they wanted was Claudia's memories of the Crowley family and some secrets.

When Claudia's blood is completely drawn out, she will definitely be seriously injured and dying.At this time, as long as the enemy of Kabbalah eats her head, it can become a Claudia without any flaws and mix into the Crowley family.

In this case, as long as they find another way to kill Edward, the Crowley family will become the grasp of these scum who believe in the twilight.

If Roland came ten minutes later, maybe they would have succeeded.

"...Tch, you run really fast."

Roland looked around with the characteristics of the Twilight Contactor, but he didn't feel any resonance.So he quickly determined that the Kabbalah's enemy should be too far behind to run away.

The host of this ceremony should be the same as the Enemy of Kabbalah that Roland killed first, and it might even be the mother of the Juvenile Enemy of Kabbalah.

And the second enemy of Kabbalah who is here should be responsible for another thing, such as deceiving Macken and Claude to let them discover the fact that Claudia is missing later.

If Roland's guess is correct, among the servants that Claudia brought with her at the Obstinate Oak Lock at the beginning, there are spies who broke in at dusk.Otherwise, it would be impossible for the second enemy of Kabbalah to know Roland's name, but he didn't know that he and Claudia were not familiar enough to call him by his first name.

...Of course, it will be fine after today.

Roland stepped forward, put his right hand through Claudia's leg, and gently held her back with his left hand, picked her up and moved her out of the ritual ring.

Although her eyes were still closed tightly, her long eyelashes were trembling uncontrollably, and she even groaned in pain, her body obviously relaxed.

Roland wasn't nervous.

This is the normal situation.

In the blood vein stripping circle, people should feel the feeling of being paralyzed and unable to move, and the cold feeling of blood flowing away from the body drop by drop.That kind of feeling is enough to make people hallucinate of death. If the will attribute is not high enough, they may even be frightened to death by nightmares when the blood loss reaches a lethal amount.

And Claudia was removed from the magic circle, and the despair and fear of constant blood loss would disappear immediately, and her consciousness began to wake up, but because her body was too weak, she would have a fever for a while.

However, if Roland dealt with it a little bit now, her pain would be relieved a lot.

Roland placed her on the ground carefully, preventing her back from touching the cold ground, and then put his right hand on her forehead, shining a warm light green light.

——Healing touch.

The gentle natural energy turned into the most moist life force, slowly flowing from her head into her body like warm milk.This kind of warmth is enough to prevent her from having nightmares, and the disease caused by blood loss will not continue to worsen.

After that, in order to heal her, you need the prayer just given by the Sleeping Mentor.

It was only now that Roland realized why the Sleeping Mentor gave the harmless chant at this time.A feeling of being forced to go on a blind date by his mother slowly emerged in Roland's heart.

... Boss, don't make trouble, I don't have the American time to talk about love now.

But although he felt weird in his heart, Roland still looked serious, and pressed his right index finger on Claudia's forehead.

"Glory to the Master—"

As if afraid of waking Claudia, Roland whispered in a low and hoarse voice:

"You are able to strengthen me, because I am in harmony with the gospel you have preached, and with the truth you have revealed."

A gentle silver-white halo flickered from Roland's right index finger, and Roland quickly made a cross on Claudia's forehead.

To his surprise, the silver light seemed to stick to Claudia's forehead, flickering instead of disappearing immediately.

This shows that she has no faith now, and the harmless chanting from the Eternal Sleeping Teacher has had a profound impact on her like the baptism spell.

... Isn't she the priest of the Goddess of War? !

Roland was startled.
