Don't call me evil god

Opening the trap door, the familiar smell of rich sulfur immediately hit my face.

"Sir, this is for you."

The dwarf clerk did not enter the basement with Lena, he just took out 5 skulls from the drawer on the counter.

Judging from the size and shape, it should be made of a human skull.

The empty eye sockets of the skull were emitting a faint gray-purple dark light.

"Um?"

Rena made a short nasal sound to express her doubts.

She didn't know what it was used for.

The dwarf clerk explained diligently:

"When you get down there, hold it in your hand and wait a moment. The [Summoning Ceremony] will begin soon."

Reina raised her eyebrows and put the skull down calmly.

It seems that she will soon know how the dwarf she was following disappeared out of thin air in the basement.

Reina can guess something from the name "Summoning Ceremony".

She could rule out the possibility that she really planned to summon some evil god to come here.

Rena had already visited the basement under the trap door. There was not even an altar there, and the environment and layout did not look like it could organize a ceremony.

It's said to be a secret room, but actually there's nothing special about it. Maybe it was just taken from the tapestry shop's original warehouse and modified.

The most valuable clues in that place should be the devil's circle on the ground and the cursed book.

"If it's not to summon the evil god, then what exactly is the so-called [summoning ritual] used for?"

"Open the door and get down."

Lena gestured to Brandon.

Although she has obtained enough important information, Lena still wants to get more.

Therefore, the character cannot be destroyed.

Now is not the time to fall out.

Brandon cooperated honestly with Lena and stepped forward to open the trap door.

Gale, Miranda and Peter walked down one after another.

Brandon was fourth and Reyna was last.

…

The basement still looks familiar.

This was not the first time for Reina, so she had no interest in exploring, so she just followed the dwarf's instructions and held the skull in her hand.

Several others looked curiously at the slightly complicated array on the ground.

Brandon walked to the shelf and tried to flip through the Book of Curses twice.

His experience was exactly the same as Lena's.

First, he was under great pressure, and his soul seemed to be sucked away by an invisible whirlpool.

However, as long as you pray to Novan in time during this process, even if you just call his name, these bad feelings can suddenly disappear.

Then Brandon would be able to read the Book of the Damned as well without pressure.

Brandon tried to read it carefully.

But after looking at it twice, he wisely put the book down.

He raised his hand and rubbed his head.

"What's wrong?" Gale noticed Brandon's movements.

Brandon said very sincerely:

"The magic circle makes people's heads ache. I can't stand this kind of thing..."

Gale rolled his eyes speechlessly.   Brandon is a rather rare member of the Church of Knowledge Seeking.

His professional route has unswervingly chosen the warrior route. Other routes, especially magic and divine arts like wizards and priests, can also play a certain role in daily life. Brandon can't even reach the first-level entry level. No ability has been learned.

On the one hand, one can become a legend by simply practicing the way of anger of a warrior.

After being blessed with anger, a warrior can gain extremely powerful power with just his pure body. As long as he can exert the power effect of his strengthened body, his strength is actually not much weaker than magic and divine magic.

On the other hand, Brandon hated having to carry things back and forth.

The magic spell-casting method that Noven gives to believers can bypass the goddess of magic and cast spells directly through the magic network.

But as a price, believers have to memorize the precise and complex spell models one by one.

The situation is similar with the demonic spells used by warlocks.

Whether relying on a magic circle or casting spells directly, spells and spell-casting materials alone cannot release spells. Drawing the model circuit of the spell is an essential step.

Bran couldn't stand it.

What circles, triangles, squares, points, lines, planes, and multi-layered three-dimensional structures are too complicated.

For Brandon, it is more suitable for him to arouse his anger and then go up and kill people based on his combat intuition and instinct.

…

The few people didn't stay in the secret room for long. Reina was the first to feel that the skull she was holding began to change!

This specially carved and adjusted skull seemed to come to life, trembling slightly in Reina's hands.

The hollow light in the eye sockets also changed from gray-purple to bluish-purple with black in between.

I haven’t had time to continue experiencing this feeling.

Suddenly everything went dark!

Reina could feel extremely strong pulling and squeezing sensations coming from all directions in her body!

It was as if she had fallen into a thick sponge and was being continuously rubbed and compressed!

There was also only a buzzing sound in the ears, and the previous sounds of Gale and Brandon making jokes and talking disappeared.

Reyna tried to open her mouth and make some noise, but she failed.

The violent squeezing made her unable to even open her mouth and completely speechless.

To make matters worse, Lena found that she couldn't breathe in this state!

It was as if even the surrounding environment had been completely compressed, with no air able to flow in.

Reina tried to inhale through her nose, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't inhale anything.

Although this terrible process lasted for less than 3 seconds.

But for Reina, she really felt like a sponge that was forcibly squeezed into a small ball. If it continued, her body might be completely squeezed and compressed.

Fortunately, when Reina regained her vision and her pupils refocused, the previous bad feelings disappeared completely.

"A new companion! Welcome to the realm of truth in the world!"

A strange voice sounded in her ears.

It was a dwarf language, and the voice was a little sharp, obviously the voice of a female dwarf.

Reina was startled.

Where is she? !

The surrounding environment suddenly changed drastically without her noticing!

This is no longer the underground secret room of Hope Carpet Decoration, but a place that seems to have nothing to do with dwarves in terms of style.

Reina lowered her head and coughed twice, taking the opportunity to adjust her expression.

The situation and circumstances were very unclear, so it was better to continue to maintain the identity of a warlock and figure out where he was.

"I am..." Reina looked at the female dwarf who had just spoken not far away in front of her with a slightly hesitant tone.

The more you say, the more mistakes you make.

She wanted to use this ambiguous questioning method that could be understood smoothly from all angles to get more information.

The other party responded calmly, as if he had anticipated Reina's question.

"Thank you for the gift of the supreme truth."

"The [Summoning Ritual] brought you here."
