Vol 6 Chapter 3173: Live Ceremony

   Chapter 3173 Live Streaming Ceremony
   "So, the corpse crystal was created by Tunita?" Angel touched his chin and asked in confusion.
Luigi shrugged: "Whether the Sacred Corpse Crystal was created by Tunita, it's hard to say, maybe other Crystal Eyes have made Sacred Corpse Crystals before, but this belongs to the Crystal Eye's secret, and it's impossible for outsiders to know. "
   "The only thing that is certain is that Tunita must have added the corpse crystal to the building materials of the Crystal City."
"In any case, Tunita and the corpse crystal are closely related." Angel muttered: "The corpse crystal is a sensitive topic in the Crystal Eyes; and Tunita has an indissoluble bond with the corpse crystal. , So, the secret may really be related to the corpse crystal."
   Speaking of this, Angel suddenly thought of something Luigi mentioned earlier.
  The corpse crystal is suspected to be related to the inheritance ability.
   and the inheritance is generally a teenager from the Jingmu clan.
  The tower should be in line with the age of inheritance.
  The matter of the tower, shouldn't it be related to inheritance? Could this inheritance have any fatal danger?
  Angol hesitated for a while, and then spoke out his speculation.
After Luigi heard it, he fell into a daze... Or, Gleipnir, who was far away, fell into silence, and after a while, he replied through Luigi's mouth: "Your speculation is related to The secret that I know is not far off."
   "Is it really related to inheritance?"
  Angol frowned, and was about to continue to ask, but at this moment, a new picture suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room that had been in the "unchanged" state.
   Everyone's thoughts were immediately attracted by the changes in the live broadcast.
  I saw that all the patrolling guards in the ring castle stopped, walked near the railing, and made a strange gesture in a certain direction at the same time.
  The and the thumb are touching, and the other three fingers are upright, a bit like a "peacock head". However, it is the two hands that show the gesture of "peacock head" at the same time, and the "peacock mouth" is also connected to the left and right, like a set of second hand gesture spells.
   "A uniform gesture, is this some kind of ritual?" Angel guessed that this might be a signal for the ritual to proceed.
   However, Luigi on the side shook his head: "It should have nothing to do with the ceremony. This gesture is called 'hand salute', similar to the human breast-stroking salute. It is the basic etiquette for superiors."
   As he spoke, Luigi pointed to a place on the screen: "Look, there's someone here."
The place that    Luigi was referring to was a platform on the second floor of the Ring Fort. A Crystal Eye family who turned the crystal shell into a suspended chair slowly floated onto the platform and also floated into the live broadcast screen.
   And the "hand salute" that all the guards gestured before was facing exactly this person.
   There is no doubt that this person should be the so-called "superior" in Luigi's mouth. At least, in the eyes of the crystal eye guards, this is a superior.
  His appearance... In Angel's view, it is not much different from other people, except that the pupils in the single eye are a bit cloudy yellow, like an elderly man.
   As for what he wears, it is completely different from the obvious crystal armor of the surrounding guards. It is a very delicate robe. Although the overall color is plain, it has very complicated lace.
   "Who is he?" Luigi murmured in a somewhat puzzled voice.
   However, in the next second, Luigi's confused eyes became wise: "He is Cassata, an elder of the Crystal Eyes."
   You don't have to guess, that Cassata's name was told to him by Gleipnir.
   As for why Gleipnir knew about Cassata... It's also simple, Fada is near Gleipnir, if you don't know it, just ask.
"According to Fada, Cassata was promoted to elder six hundred years ago, but he was in the forbidden area for many years and rarely appeared in front of the public." Luigi paused and added: "Fada is very confused. , why did Gleipnir suddenly describe what Cassata looked like."
  Fada's doubts, don't bother. Fada is different from them, they can leave at any time, but Fada has lived in Crystal City for a long time, knowing too much is definitely not a good thing for her.
   However, Fada's description of Cassata made Gleipnir think..."Puzzle" is coming.
   Cassata is in the forbidden area all the year round, and the inheritance of the Jingmu family is also in the forbidden area.
The secret behind the   li tower is also likely to be related to the forbidden area.
  Cassata suddenly appeared in the outside world and came before a certain "ceremony", which was highly consistent with what Fada had vaguely revealed before.
   There is no doubt that Cassata may be the core character in that "secret", or even the mastermind!
   And the next ceremony is very likely to reveal a hidden corner!
   In the live broadcast, Cassata came to the second-floor platform of the Ring Fort. He did not look at other people, but silently watched the crystal dust constantly pouring out of the mirror at the bottom.
  The gushing crystal dust has now covered the bottom layer of the entire ring fort.
   From the live screen, I can't see anything at all, and I can't see the movement of Jingchen.
   Cassata looked at the foggy sea of ​​crystal dust condensed below, a faint smile appeared on his face, his mouth was slightly opened, and he seemed to be muttering something.
  Because the distance was too far, although Angel saw him talking, he didn't know what he was talking about. As for the lip language... Angel didn't understand it either. Cassata seemed to be speaking the language of the Crystal Eyes.
  Angol could only look at Luigi, who was also confused and obviously didn't understand Cassata's words. But Luigi was not alone. Behind him stood Gleipnir, and next to Gleipnir was Fada.
  Gleipnir imitated Cassata's lip so that Fada could recognize it.
  Fada wasn't very good at lip-reading, so she didn't interpret all of Cassata's words, but through repeated simulations, she guessed a few words—
   "...meeting... old friend."
   Literally, Cassata’s words can be understood as: reunion of old friends.
  Just, where is the old friend? Is it in that crystal dust... Angel still remembers that the crystal dust that spewed out at first tried to condense the outline of a human figure. Could this human figure be an old friend of Cassata?
   But if the humanoid silhouette is an old friend of Cassata, why did the other party meet in this way?
   And, as the guards said earlier, there was a ceremony going on in the ring fort.
   If it is really a ceremony, and the result of the ceremony is - Cassata's old friend shows up.
   In other words, the result of the ceremony is a "big change to the living".
   There are only three kinds of rituals that Angel can think of with this result: the teleportation ritual, the summoning ritual and the descending ritual.
The    teleportation ceremony, as the name suggests, is to teleport back an old friend of Cassata from a faraway place. This possibility is low, because the transmission ceremony will inevitably generate spatial fluctuations, and spatial fluctuations will definitely affect the quality of the live broadcast image transmission. Now the live broadcast image is stable, which means that there is no spatial fluctuation.
   Summoning ceremony, which is commonly used by summoning wizards to summon creatures from another world. The summoning ceremony requires the use of special summons, or blood, or sacrifices, or contracts. At present, no obvious traces of summoning have been seen.
The    advent ceremony, this ceremony is very partial, it is a forbidden area in the southern region, and it is expressly prohibited by extremist sects. The major wizarding organizations did not refute either, because this ritual is often associated with "gods".
  Wizards only seek the truth and do not believe in God.
   All the gods that have traces of activity in the southern region are either abyss evil gods, barbaric gods, or outer gods from the Druna plane... In short, there are no good gods. The reason why they appeared in the Southern Territory was either because they coveted the world or because of the law of energy.
   And the humans or fallen wizards who are seduced by them will extend the tentacles of the gods to the southern region through the descending ceremony. For this reason, advent rituals are often associated with "evil" and "degeneration".
   Will Cassata use the Advent Ritual here? Angel thinks it is unlikely. After all, now that the various ethnic groups in the southern region are gathered in Crystal City, do the Crystal Eyes have the courage to offend the major ethnic groups?
Although the    Crystal Eyes are not weak in the daytime mirror domain, they are still a lot worse than the top races like the mirror dragon.
   And there is more than one mirror dragon participating in the party. The Crystal Eyes would never dare to do anything crazy at this time.
   In this way, it seems more like a summoning ceremony?
  While Angel was silently guessing in his heart, Cassata suddenly took out a crystal scepter, and under the watchful eyes of all the guards, he raised the scepter high.
  The guards closed their eyes and muttered words.
   Every guard's chanting is different, and now he doesn't even have the chance to read his lips. After all, there are hundreds of guards at the scene, and even if Gleipnir can remember everyone's lips, there is no time for Fada to interpret them one by one.
   As the guards talked, it was obvious that the surging sea of ​​crystal dust mist at the bottom began to shrink sharply.
   is like an inflated water polo that was forcibly pressed down.
  Why this happened, Angel couldn't analyze it just from the live broadcast.
   However, Laplace on the side suddenly said: "There is a force involved in this 'ceremony'."
  Angol looked in surprise: "Can you perceive it?"
  Although Laplace mastered the mirror surface, the mirror surface is in the mezzanine space after all. Can she perceive the energy fluctuations in reality in the mezzanine space? Could it be that this energy is doped with spatial properties?
  Laplace shook his head: "I didn't perceive it from the mirror, but I sensed the crystal city under my feet. At that moment, there was a slight transfer of energy veins."
   That is to say, Laplace is not the energy fluctuations perceived from the ring fort. Instead, he directly sensed the energy veins of the entire Crystal City!
  This... Angel has nothing to say, he is indeed a big boss.
  Can't learn, can't compare.
   After sighing, Angel recalled Laplace's words again: "So, the energy of the Ring Castle ceremony comes from the Crystal City itself?"
   Laplace nodded.
  How does Crystal City provide the energy needed for the ceremony? Angel doesn't know the answer to this question.
   But he knew that the crystal city contained holy corpse crystals, and holy corpse crystals were the core clues for all secrets... This ceremony seemed to be linked to holy corpse crystals.
   One link after another, the links are interlocked. All the clues point to one place, and it is no wonder that Gleipnir will watch the live broadcast remotely.
   The picture continues, and the crystal dust is still shrinking. By now, the crystal dust has condensed into a human-shaped outline.
   This humanoid outline is almost exactly the same as what Angel saw at first, but the outline is more solid now, and even his facial features can be seen.
   One eye, pointed nose, thin lips, long elf-like ears, one of which has a gold earring, and a head of thick transparent crystal hair.
   This is exactly what the Crystal Eyes look like.
   He is Cassata's old friend?
   After another half a minute, when all the crystal dust was absorbed by this newly-appeared Crystal Eye clan, he slowly opened his eyes.
   His eyes were slightly confused, he looked around, and he didn't seem to realize where he was.
   Until he raised his head and saw Cassata, his eyes gradually recovered from dazed slack.
   He seemed to recognize Cassata, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
   The thin lips parted lightly and said a word.
Angel still didn't understand this lip language, he glanced at Luigi, who gave him a "reassuring" gesture, which meant that Gleipnir had started lip-speaking with Fada." test".
   When Fara was interpreting the lip language, the live broadcast screen changed a bit.
   Cassata did not chat with the newly-appeared Crystal Eye clansman, but gently waved his sleeves and fell into the oval mirror below him.
   When the Crystal Eyes people disappeared completely, Cassata roared loudly.
   Following his cry, the crystal-eye guards who had closed their eyes and muttered before opened their eyes one after another.
  Cassata waved his sleeves again, maybe saying something like "the ceremony is over", then turned and left the ring castle.
   The guards first looked at each other, and then invariably looked at the mirror at the bottom. When they saw that there was no crystal dust near the mirror, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
   It can be seen from their expressions that they did not see the new Crystal Eyes before, and they did not know what the final result of the ceremony was.
   Although they were participants in the ceremony, they did not know the specific content of the ceremony, which was consistent with what the guard said earlier.
   When we got here, neither Cassata nor the Crystal Eyes people condensed by crystal dust had disappeared, which meant that the live broadcast had come to an end.
  Angol and Laplace looked at each other.
   No need to discuss, they acted at the same time, Laplace destroyed the mirror surface of the interlayer space, and Angel wiped out the illusion node.
   After doing all this, it not only means the end of the live broadcast, but also means that all the previous traces have been destroyed, and no one will find out that they have peeped at the ceremony of the Ring Fort.
Although the    live broadcast was closed, the aftermath has not ended.
  Two minutes later, Luigi raised his head and said, "Father has read the meaning of that lip language."
  —How did you… get old?
