Chapter 20: ceremony

　　 After drinking the fruit milk drink, Shalan and Yi Wen returned to the Howard Library. The two continued to read their books. When they were in retreat, Sha Lan bid farewell to Yi Wen as before and returned home.
　　 But when he just returned home, Berman, the butler, told his father Rohr to tell him to go to Rohr's study after he returned. Rohr had something to tell him.
　　 Thanks to Butler Berman, Shalan came to Rohr’s office, knocked on the door and walked in.
Seeing the arrival of his eldest son, Rohr put down the pen in his hand and said to Shalan, "Come on, sit down, I have something I want to tell you in advance. There will be a dance party this Saturday. Some nobles in Cynthia Officials and even wealthy businessmen will participate. As my heir, you will naturally join me. So in the remaining two days I hope you can follow the teacher I arranged for you to review etiquette and dance steps."
　　 "Father, do not know when I will review the dance steps and etiquette?"
"This is the second thing I want to tell you. Although I don't want to disturb your study enthusiasm, I would like to ask you not to go to the Howard Library for the time being after school. You can go to the Howard Library at home to review etiquette with the teacher. And dance steps, you can go to the Howard Library to continue learning as usual when the dance is over, how about?"
"Father, to me, dance steps and etiquette and even the dance are secondary, while knowledge and learning are the primary ones. You surely want me to give up the opportunity to study and spend two days to learn the time. Do you want the dance steps and etiquette?"
Hearing Shalan’s words, Rohr looked at him in surprise, and nodded slowly. Rohr said,
Yes, what you said makes sense. It is true that I am not thinking well. What should you see?"
　　 "Dance steps and etiquette are also to be reviewed. After all, I also want to participate in the dance. I can't lose the face of our Winerman family, but in my opinion, this kind of thing does not need to cost me two days of afternoon and evening.
　　 After I come back tomorrow, I can take a rest for an hour to review with the teacher. If the teacher says it is unqualified after the review tomorrow, then I will follow my father's words and come back to study after school the day after tomorrow. It is enough if I want to come. "
　　 Nodded slowly, and Rohr said, "Also, do what you want."
　　 "Thank you father for your understanding, then I will go back to the house."
　　 "Go ahead."
　　 After saying good night to Roll, Shalan went back to her room, washed and changed clothes under the service of Sally, drank some black tea, ate some refreshments, then opened the book and started the evening study.
After Sharan reviewed the things he had learned, he asked Sally to go to sleep in his room. After Sally left, he closed his eyes and relaxed for a while, then adjusted his breath and recited the spell silently. The familiar power surged from the center of his eyebrows again, and with the aid of the spell, he absorbed the energy of the void and turned it into a black smoke lingering in front of Shalan.
　　 Taking a deep breath, Shalan manipulated the black smoke to seep out along the door crack of the room. Since he didn't know whether the black smoke could be seen by others, he controlled the black smoke to swim around the corner quickly.
　　 In the process of manipulating the black smoke, Shalan found that she could observe a lot of things by relying on the black smoke, just like seeing it with her eyes and ears, but she discovered a new way to use this black smoke.
　　 The black smoke left Shalan about ten meters away, and then quickly dissipated, and the mental power that formed the black smoke was completely consumed.
At this time, Shalan wrote down the time that black smoke can maintain and the maximum distance from her body on the notebook in front of him, and then continued to use black smoke once, and continued to study the flexibility of black smoke and other corresponding data. When it dissipated for the second time, Shalan immediately felt exhausted. He tried to use the black smoke for the third time, but there was no way to use it. On the contrary, Shalan's head was aching.
"In this way, I can only use this black smoke twice, but I don't know what the speed of recovery of this power in the center of the eyebrows is. It seems that if I want to study the recovery speed of this power, I need to wait for me during the day. It's time to study. At least I can determine the recovery speed of that power based on whether black smoke can be used. As for now... I'm going to sleep."
　　While thinking, Shalan put away the notes and fell asleep in bed.

At the same time, in an alley of the poor kiln in Cynthia City, Jonathan looked at the wild cat in front of him, gritted his teeth fiercely, and grabbed the neck of the wild cat meowing at him, while the wild cat was not paying attention. It broke its neck, causing the Wildcat to let out a scream, leaving several claw marks on Jonathan's hand.
Panting with big mouths, Jonathan looked at no one around, stuffed the dead wild cat into his pocket, and returned home sneakily. Without the parents who had ideals to talk to him, he went straight back to this little place. In the attic of the house, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com closed the door tightly, leaving only his rough-handed mother standing at the door and sighing softly.
Back in his room and locked the door, Jonathan took out the wild cat that had just died from his pocket, he glanced at the door subconsciously, and then carefully cleared the floor of the attic as his room. He took out the paint in the closet, drew a frantically inverted pentagram on the ground, and lighted five white candles on the five corners of the inverted pentagram.
Looking at the finished simple inverted pentagram array, Jonathan took out a broken copper bowl from the bottom of the bed. Like a shareholder, a copper bowl with a large number of unidentified characters painted on the surface was carefully placed on the inverted pentagram. The center of the array.
Jonathan looked at the copper bowl, and the voice in his mind kept telling himself that this worn-out copper bowl dug out of the dirt in the garbage dump was his future, as long as he followed that voice to complete the ritual. You can gain powerful power, step on the second generation of Shalan, who has no ability, and let the beautiful Ailan with endless power and wealth become his own bitch, surrendering to his crotch!
　　 With trembling hands, he took out the dead wild cat. Jonathan carefully picked up the knife set aside, cut the wild cat’s neck open many times, and poured the wild cat’s blood into the old copper bowl.
　　 After most of the wild cat's blood flowed into the copper bowl, Jonathan slowly knelt on the circle, holding the edge of the worn copper bowl in his hands, and began to whisper the prayer that the voice in his mind told him.
　　 A strange breath slowly poured out of Jonathan's body. Before Jonathan was completely unaware, it slowly revolved around him, causing the flames of the five candles to jump slightly.
