Whispering Verse

Chapter 2902 Demon Summoning

"Rejuvenation without cost? This is much better than the time curse. Vanessa, you actually encountered such a good thing?"

This is what the little witch said when she visited the bedridden Duchess. She was not teasing, but really envious. After handing the teacup to Tifa beside the bed, she touched her face while talking:

"Why didn't I encounter such a thing? Look at you, Vanessa, not only is you the first witch among us to be promoted from the twelfth level, but now you have even become the youngest witch of our generation. You are actually unhappy about this?"

So the witch of the earth herself didn't know what kind of mood she should maintain.

It happened that today was Monday, and Shade planned to visit the forest elves to get gifts and complete the ceremony in the woods.

Normally, demon summoning rituals need to be completed late at night, and many even strict requirements must be completed at midnight. But after the safe version of the ritual modified by Dr. Schneider, it must be completed within two hours around noon, and that's why Shade dared to really try it.

The commotion of the high-ring warlocks did not affect the life of the elf lady who was taking care of the unicorns and chocobos in the woods. No matter how special she was, she was still far away from the thirteenth ring, and Shade doubted that she had enough time to resist and be immune to this effect.

"I wonder how Emilia is doing now."

When he saw the elf lady teasing the unicorn from a distance in the woods, Shade sighed again.

Behind him, in addition to the four "pure girls" who were going to help with the ceremony, there were more than ten girls from the middle ring and three girls from the high ring.

Vanessa followed Shade closely, with her long braid tied up and the ends of her hair almost reaching the back of her knees. She changed into a fitted little skirt at this time, but it was not provided by Ajelina. Although Ajelina's height could not be compared with that of Leicia, she was at least 1.6 meters tall.

The skirt she wore was transformed by Flora using Transfiguration to shrink the normal female clothes. At that time, Flora must have had a hard time holding back her laughter.

Although the pointy-eared elf seemed to be far away from any forces, she also knew about the riot this morning, and even knew that Aunt Qisala was not affected.

When Shade invited the younger Vanessa to get this week's gift, the elf asked Shade with a smile:

"Obviously everyone has experienced their childhood, and many people will miss that carefree time, but why do people become unhappy and worried once they really turn from adults into children?"

"Because the happiness of childhood comes from ignorance of the difficulties of life. Once you grow up and understand more about life, people actually miss not that age, but the mentality of not worrying about the present and the future."

Shade tried to explain , the blonde girl, who was sitting on a wooden chair on the platform outside the tree house, with her feet unable to even touch the ground, stuffed the thing in her hand to Shade with an unhappy look on her face;

"You should give this to Ajelina Cavendish."

The "gift" she got was a palm-sized doll that could be changed into clothes. The doll was made with exceptionally fine workmanship. The head, waist and limb joints had pivots so they could move. The golden hair seemed to be made of real human hair, and the clothes she wore were genuine silk products. This was a toy that only girls from aristocratic families could have.

As for the price of this "gift", Vanessa needed to give this gift or other toys she cherished to others within this week, so she stuffed the doll into Shade.

And she felt that this toy would make her feel more uncomfortable when she recalled this incident many years later.

After the joke, the elf girl recommended a place to hold the ceremony to Shade, so after leaving the tree house, the group continued to walk in this "inaccessible forest area" under the leadership of Shade. After passing the tree hole where the ancient god statue was hidden, they saw the open space mentioned by the elf.

This open space was not formed in the dense forest due to human factors, but why only this place was bare, even the elf girl couldn't explain it clearly.

"You don't have to figure out everything in this forest."

This is what she said at the time.

At this time, the time was 9:30 in the morning, and it was very close to two hours before and after noon, so everyone hurried to arrange the ceremony.

As for Shade bringing so many people, it was to arrange the divine rituals to "purify evil" and "confine negative energy" outside the demon summoning ceremony to prevent the demon summoning ceremony from being unfinished in the end.

Therefore, the ritual arrangement outside is much more complicated than the ritual given by Dr. Schneider.

"In fact, it's okay to use human blood directly. There are even legal ways to obtain human blood."

When Shade thawed the frozen sheep blood, the 1.5-meter-tall blonde witch said beside him. She is the only one who doesn't have to do anything. She just needs to cooperate with Shade for a while.

"We must try to reduce the impact of this ritual. I'll find the sacrifice."

The "Wish Demon" itself is not a demon that particularly needs flesh and blood, so the sacrifice to summon it should be something related to the soul, or at least "treasured things", such as jewelry worn since childhood and the hair of the favorite person.

But the doctor didn't ask Shade to provide real human hair or cat hair. He knew that Shade's deck contained a card called Bishop, Moon Soul Stealer. This card was perfect as a ritual sacrifice, and the doctor guaranteed that the sacrifice would be You can take it back after using it.

In short, human blood was replaced with sheep blood, and Rhodes cards were used as sacrifices. Although the ritual base array was still in the shape of an inverted pentagram, a circle was drawn with [Night Watchman] on the periphery of the pentagram to encircle it as a whole. Get up, and then continue to fill the circular notch on the ground with sheep's blood, but add about 5% of No. 3 holy water according to the doctor's instructions.

After everything was ready, especially after other peripheral ceremonies were confirmed to be OK, Vanessa, Miss Bell, Miss Swift and little Miss Aurora each put on black robes and hoods, and then stood barefoot. At the four tips of the five-pointed star, he held candlesticks of the same style in his hands.

"Darkness!"

"Darkness!"

"Dark magic!"

More than a dozen girls who came along cast spells on the location of the four people, and the bright light in the forest gradually dimmed until only four long-lasting candles were left to illuminate the surrounding deep darkness.

In this deep darkness, Shade held his Rhodes card and stood at the bottom tip of the inverted pentagram. After bending down and placing it in the center of the pentagram, he read out in devil language Although all the girls present could not understand the words, they all felt particularly uncomfortable after hearing them.

The devil's language in ancient times itself is a "blasphemous whisper", and Shade added the "real name" of the devil controlled by the doctor. If this is not noon but real midnight, the next step may be traditional horror. The plot of the story.

The profane language successfully activated the ritual, and the light of the candle on the candlestick held by the pure girl quickly turned black. The red sheep blood on the ground was originally in a semi-solidified state, but after the summoning mantra was recited, it all turned into black and then dried up.

A colorful smoke suddenly rose from the ground under the Rhodes card. The colorful smoke floated high into the sky, and the phantom of the blue giant spirit appeared above the ritual array without any warning in the smoke:

"Who wants to make your wish come true? It's you."

I haven’t seen him for more than half a year, and the devil is still the same as before. It was floating high in the dark sky, with its hands folded in front of its chest and not looking at other people. It just looked down at Shade. The skin on the upper body is all blue, with gold and jade jewelry on the fingers, arms, ears and even nose. The lower body is an amorphous stream of colorful smoke:

"It seems that not only can I not get the souls of these girls, I can't even get the sacrifice."

Although it looks quite arrogant, its tone of voice is very normal when it speaks:

"Before you say your first words, I want to know if you are looking for me, or is that friend of yours looking for me?"

"I'm looking for you through that friend of mine."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of taking action, Shade did not signal everyone to activate the counter-ritual. He looked up at the giant spirit. The other party's projection state did not trigger too many whispering elements, and the "seeing demon" could only see faint black traces:

"I still want to ask you some questions this time. Do you know where I am now? I want to know what's going on here."

"The ritual you arranged has confused the time and space of my clone. Of course I can't track you. You don't need to test me."

It waved its hand at Shade:

"What exactly do you want to know?"

"You want to know about Vesta Grove. You know the Ancient One here, right? And you know how it 'distributes' tree holes to the mortals here. You got Kingsley's wisdom, don't say you forgot This is the case.”

"Who is Kingsley?"

The giant spirit asked curiously, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized:

"It's that interesting dragon beast from hundreds of years ago.

I really couldn't remember the name immediately. That transaction can be regarded as the best transaction I have made in the past thousand years. However, you want to know about the respected ancient one."

It smiled:

"Of course you can, but this time it can't be a free inquiry. This is you making a wish to me."

"I will not make a wish to the devil, no matter what you say."

Shade shook his head decisively and came up with the doctor's explanation:

"You tell me the answer, and I will give you 4 ticks of the treasure-level sin of [Gluttony]."

In the Sin Mansion last autumn, Shade obtained the [Sloth] spirit rune by relying on the 4-kilometer treasure level sin of laziness. His sins of gluttony only amounted to a little over 10 moments in total - as of last autumn, so this time it was a completely generous act:

"It's not you dealing with me, it's me dealing with you. I will draw up the terms of the deal, and if necessary, my friend can come and act as a notary."

PS: The reason why 15 and 16 years old appear frequently in the previous chapter is to avoid certain risks, so just treat them as around fifteen or sixteen years old. This topic cannot be discussed in detail. Safety comes first.
