Chapter 187 Ancient Ritual

City Wall College, Forest of Wind Suzuki.

On the other side of the azure lake, among the rolling hills, on the mountain surface near the south, there is a lush bell tree, and now it is the season of its blooming.

The golden-yellow corolla is symmetrical and drooping, like a wind chime, with a wrinkled edge, exuding a sweet floral fragrance, and some bees shuttle through it to collect nectar.

Under the shade of a tree surrounded by yellow flowers, two students followed a leader and walked slowly through this inaccessible forest.

"Are you there? It looks beautiful here," said one of the blond girls.

The leader in front, wearing a dark robe with a dark purple lining, was a little unhappy after hearing this question, and replied coldly: "Not yet, don't ask random questions."

"What, such a bad attitude." The girl also became angry. Before she came to school, she was the most favored person in the family and the people around her. When did she suffer such contempt.

"Okay, just bear with it, it's probably coming soon." Another girl discouraged.

In this way, the blond girl muttered and walked behind, they turned several corners, and finally entered a hidden valley.

Because of the dense shade of the trees, it looks a little cold and damp, the fallen leaves on the ground also have an obvious sense of corruption, and a lot of dark green moss can be seen between the roots and dead leaves.

As they went deeper and deeper, the sun in the sky was barely visible, only the white haze in the woods. And the occasional peculiar chirping of birds. After arriving here, the two girls were also a little scared.

"Why don't we go back." The blond girl whispered.

"It's not very good, although I'm a little scared, but I've come here, and it's not considered leaving school, so it should be... no problem." Another whispered.

The leader in front heard the conversation between the two and sneered, ignoring the fearful two and still walking in front of them.

Under the big tree covered with vines and moss, a dilapidated wooden house was hidden.

There is a small open space in front of the wooden house. There are some firewood piled in the middle, and a bonfire is burning. On the fire is a large pot, in which unknown things are boiled, and the air is full of green smoke from wet firewood. And the strange smell of medicine in the pot, and a group of people in black robes surrounded the open space. They seemed to be men and women, about 30 people.

Jenna and her former classmates also stood in black robes, listening to the first black robe man talking about the rules and requirements of the club.

"First, everything our community does is for the ultimate goal of making humanity great again."

"Second, for this we have to trust and help each other and share something together."

"Third, all the contents of the club are kept secret from the outside world, and cannot be exposed to other students, teachers, relatives, etc. at will."

....

"It's all about recreating the glory of Ajaka, the great miracle of the Twilight Age."

Zena slowly savored and pondered the meaning of this. Is this organization related to the Twilight Era, but isn't that unofficial history and legends, things that have never been described in textbooks.

The Twilight Age, the Age of Giants and Dragons, there is almost no connection between the two, and I don't know how long they are separated from each other, perhaps thousands of years, perhaps tens of thousands of years. But it is now recognized that the current world has evolved continuously after the war between giants and dragons.

The main force of giants is in the western continent, and the dragons are in the eastern continent. Now that the giants are extinct, the dragons are rare and hidden. After the flowers of other races bloom, they will eventually rule the world for human beings.

How can such a history be great again? Were the ancients ever more 'great' than they are now?

When Jenna was puzzled, a man in black robe led two students who looked like newcomers and walked over through the swamps and dense forests in the valley.

One of the old members came out immediately, first pulled the two of them aside to give an explanation, and then helped them put on black robes and brought them over, just like the previous self.

After that, the mysterious rules and words are still repeated, as if this is what the society is all about.

As the sky darkened, the sun slowly slanted westward. Although the mountain had not yet set, this place in the valley was already extremely dark.

The forest around was dark and silent, and people slowly felt an unspeakable fear, but only the flames in the center of the clearing made people feel warm.

These people in black robes slowly gathered around the bonfire, and the smell of medicine in the cauldron became more obvious. But with the cold and hunger in the belly, the contents of the pot became less annoying.

In the end, the sky completely darkened. In the starless and moonless forest, except for this flame in the clearing, there was no other light. The face was in the yellow flames. The brightness and shadow were so obvious that it looked the same as the day. There is a big difference.

At this time, the dilapidated wooden house finally opened, and a girl with a black lace veil walked out followed by the four men in black robes.

"Night is coming."

The voice is sweet and charming, attracting everyone's attention as soon as he opens his mouth.

"The human fire left over from the dusk era, although it seems to be prosperous, is actually in danger."

"Faced with this endless black tide, we have no other choice but to dance with the tide and turn into a fish swimming in the black tide, so that we can adapt to this desperate world."

"I am the star in the twilight sky, the darkness of the apocalypse

The lantern bearer in the dark, the witness across time, will now lead you forward. "

"Now, let's join hands and perform this initial ceremony."

After she finished speaking, she spread out her hands and poured a mysterious liquid from a bottle into the pot. A puff of smoke rose, and then the strange and charming fragrance began to spread. Everyone was intoxicated and began to sing hymns together.

The two men in black robes took out the tableware, then distributed a bowl and a spoon to each, and then began to pour out the medicine and food in the pot one by one.

Jie Na took over the prepared wooden bowl, and the boiled things in it had become the same as porridge. She couldn't see its original appearance. She was still hesitating with the spoon, but the people around her couldn't wait to start eating.

Is there really no problem with this?

She hesitated, but those who finished eating began to turn their eyes one by one, greedily looking at the bowl of food in her hand, with incomprehensible desires in their eyes.

"Eat it while it's hot, it won't be good if it's cold." The purple-haired girl wearing a veil bent down and said kindly in her ear, her voice sweet and addictive.

"Um."

After that, Jena also took a few bites, and then stood up with everyone, while the mysterious girl walked in front with an orange lamp.

"Then, let's start the night lighting ceremony."

Standing in the dark forest, the girl said so, the black robe, the snow-white skin, the words of temptation, everything is so moving and beautiful.
