Chapter 419: Sacrificial ceremony

Three days later, on the Moon Festival, Xia Duo gave all the residents a day off.
The leaders who were assigned to the house during the day invited other leaders to be guests. Although the current conditions are still relatively difficult, it does not prevent them from having fun in their hardships. A piece of dried meat is their best courtesy to entertain guests.
At the same time, Chateau also discussed the evening sacrificial ceremony with Leiden and Mott. Both of them were novices. Although they had learned the corresponding knowledge in the temple, they seemed to be in a hurry when they hosted it themselves.
And it was Chateau who made them even more frantic.
It is the normal state to change customs and customs, but at key points, Xia Duo has his own persistence.
"In the ceremony, in addition to offering sacrifices to the dead, but also offering sacrifices to the moon. I have prepared sacrifices!"
Leiden naturally didn't dare to object, but Mott raised an objection, "But sir, doing so will destroy the integrity of the ceremony and reduce the effect of blessing."
"Don't worry about the blessing effect, what I need is the ceremony itself, you know?"
This time, compared with the form, Xia Duo gave up the substance without hesitation. In fact, the form of the ceremony itself is the real substance here.
The so-called sacrificial ritual is nothing more than eliminating negative energy, increasing positive energy, and providing protection for the holy power, but these can actually be done normally.
But the Moon Festival is not every day. He also made a lot of preparations in advance for this day.
After several discussions, Xia Duo finally persuaded Mott and the three of them rearranged the ritual process. When Mott and Leiden entered the rehearsal of the ceremony, Xia Duo came to the cemetery alone, and he had to do it again to avoid Wrong at night.
What he wanted to rehearse was not a ritual, but a spell, or a large-scale illusion.
The difficulty of casting a spell itself is not too difficult. The difficulty lies in the fact that apart from the spell, it is necessary to perfectly match the illusion with the real scene. This actually tests the artistic ability of the caster.
This is like, I originally wanted to make a realistic illusion, but turned it into a cartoon. I can imagine it, and I can't deceive people.
At present, Xia Duo hasn't mastered the magic of the mind. The illusions he can provide are only on the audio-visual level and cannot penetrate the soul. Therefore, this illusion is to prevent all the subjects from discovering the flaws at the same time.
This is difficult.
Fortunately, there is magic in this world. As long as it is not too exaggerated, leading to the direct collapse of the Three Views, ordinary people still have a high level of acceptance of abnormal common sense phenomena.
For this illusion, even if it was regarded as magic by the civilians, Xia Duo could accept it. After all, his original intention was to create a concept.
It's just that compared to the lord's casting, it will be more natural for the lord to find it.
After rehearsing twice, Xia Duo felt that there should be no problem, but it was a bit strange to rehearse the phantom scene at night during the day.
...
Soon, the day time passed, and the full moon did not know when it came to the hollow.
The leaders of Daxialing led to the outside of the cemetery under the leadership of their respective working group leaders. Now the cemetery has just been completed. There are not many graves inside. There are many open spaces, more than enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
In the future, there are more tombs, and perhaps only people of a certain identity can enter.
As one of the hosts of the ceremony, Leiden took the lead. Although he did not have a priest's dress in his arms, he looked very majestic and sacred under the sacred light, followed by Mott, who was also surrounded by the sacred light, but died. The sacred power is not as divine and dazzling as the glorious sacred power, dim and mysterious are its true colors.
As for Chateau, as a lord, of course he does not need to host him personally. As long as he is present, it must be the focus of the audience.
At this moment, he stood beside the ceremony venue and watched quietly. Before tonight, apart from watching two rehearsals, he hadn’t watched more, and there was still a certain difference between the rehearsal and the actual performance. The difference is that the rehearsal does not involve the Holy Force, and it is more of a rehearsal in the form of the process.
Xia Duo never clearly went to Leiden or Mott to ask for sacred power for research, but every time he had the opportunity to see the situation of sacred power, he would carefully observe and try to discover the mystery of sacred power.
Right now, the ceremony was about to begin, and Xia Duo was even more energetic.
"The ruler of all things, the lord of order, the Holy Spirit guides and sweeps away the haze."
Leiden only chanted two prayers to diffuse the sacred brilliance, and gave Mott aside. At this time, there were only four corners in the cemetery and the fire was lit at the ceremony. Leiden’s sacred power seemed to have ignited the cemetery. The light inside was evenly averaged, and although it was still slightly dim, it was already comparable to dusk when the bright moonlight was included.
However, as soon as Mott appeared and took over the ceremony, the light was still like dusk, but in the personal perception of everyone present, it was suddenly dimmed, and it seemed that even the moonlight above his head was much dim.
Mott didn't recite any mottos or prayers, but walked around in the cemetery, spreading the Holy Power everywhere, especially among the new tombs.
In Xia Duo’s vision, a peaceful and peaceful aura diffused and enveloped the entire cemetery, calming people’s hearts, as if not even fearing death itself, and even a faint feeling of joy over death. ~EbookFREE.me~ It really deserves to be the Lord of the End of Everything! "
Xia Duo watched quietly. The changes in the aura caused by Death Sacred Power were only appearances and were most easily noticed. However, in a deeper nature, Xia Duo saw that the magic net here had also undergone some subtle changes. It's a bit slow.
This is not an illusion. When he tried to cast spells, he obviously felt a very weak resistance. All spells related to positive and negative energy were restricted. This affected almost all spells, because positive and negative energy was not only positive. Negative energy itself has positive and negative trends of other elements.
Any spell is more or less related to positive and negative energy. Even if it is a shaping spell, it needs to use positive and negative energy in the energy guidance and shaping, otherwise it is not a spell, but pure elemental energy.
In addition, Xia Duo noticed that the influence of this holy power on the magic net is not constant. As the holy power dissipates and fades, the magic net is also recovering. In other words, the magical spell caster can also use the holy power to display A spell exactly like the arcane caster.
Of course, this requires the magical spellcaster to have the same magic skills as the arcane spellcaster.
What about the reverse?
Xia Duo thought of Aoneng, but Aoneng is just a pure energy, which is different from the power with specific attributes like Holy Power, but relative imitation may be feasible.
At the same time, Chateau also thought of the saying that circulated in Netheril-God is just a more powerful arcanist!
Of course, this is not the mainstream view, but to some extent it also reflects a kind of ambition of the arcanist-to become an equal existence with God.
Perhaps Aoneng is a kind of power generated for the purpose of benchmarking the holy power.
For a while, Xia Duo's heart was a little confused, and he was more eager to become an arcanist.
