Chapter 166 Return

After putting away the candle, Colin Iliad found a piece of sterling silver, picked up the carving knife next to it, and swished out a palm-sized charm carrier.

Then, according to Derrick Berg's description, he painted and engraved the hidden symbol symbolizing "The Fool" on both the front and back of the silver plate.

During the whole process, his speed was very fast. If there were bystanders, he would definitely not be able to see the movements clearly, but the final product was not flawless, like a work of art slowly carved out over several days.

Immediately afterwards, Colin Iliad rummaged through to find a bottle of mercury, and directly used his powerful spirituality to guide the liquid inside into the spell, filling all the lines, and allowing the downward side of the mercury to escape due to gravity. And hang down.

Repeat the process, and after making the second piece of talisman, Colin Iliad placed them in front of the candle, and put a small bug with a transparent link on each.

Compared with when he just stood up from the silence, Colin's every move now appears calm, calm, and determined, without any hesitation, just like when he faced those powerful monsters in the dark.

After getting ready for the ceremony, he took two steps back, took off the straight sword crossed on the wall, and inserted it into the gap between the floor tiles at the door.

And as Colin closed his eyes and whispered, a little bit of pure and thick light emerged from the surrounding void, covering the two straight swords with a sense of holiness and glory.

This kind of light gathers more and more, and slowly turns into flowing water, forming a "cage" that divides the inside and outside along the gap between the floor tiles and the wall of the room.

As a senior "demon hunter", Colin Iliad actually didn't want to do similar defensive actions when holding the ceremony, because it might irritate the person he prayed to and bring about more dangerous changes, but , He had to do it, he had to guarantee that even if the ceremony failed, even if the "fool" was a malicious existence, even if he died in front of the altar, the entire Silver City would not suffer too much damage.

Colin, the Chief of the City of Silver, is quite confident about the defensive ability of the current "cage", because it is directly derived from a god-level sealed item, the crown worn by the giant king Almir:

"Proof of Glory!"

This is one of the main factors that the City of Silver was able to resist wave after wave of monster attacks in the dark in the dark age!

Seeing that all the preparations had been completed, Colin Iliad used the desk as an altar and created a holy, clean and undisturbed environment purely based on spirituality, and lit the three candles.

The dim yellow light swayed slightly and caught his eyes. He lowered his head and sprinkled the plant powder and monster fur mentioned by Derrick Berg into the candle, or ignited it and threw it into the cauldron to please the people who were about to pray. The one who exists in secret.

Similar activities are not uncommon in the City of Silver. There are sacrifices to the Creator on the surface, but from time to time there will be various rituals held by some residents who are tempted by unknown existences during patrols or explorations.

Most of the latter are passive, but there are also a small number of active attempts. On the one hand, the accumulated despair of serving the Creator for thousands of years without any response has caused some people to collapse their minds and desperately hope to seize other reliance. Yes, the "six-member council" in the City of Silver has reached a consensus many generations ago. The Creator who abandoned this land will probably not come back again. Finding other ways out must be on the agenda. Unfortunately, such an attempt, except Nullity and death, never a third ending.

Also because of this, no matter what difficulties they encountered, no matter how many city-states destroyed by the "evil gods" were discovered, the City of Silver persisted in its exploration of the surrounding areas and further places.

As far as Colin Iliad himself is concerned, the discovery of Jack the Outsider brought unspeakable surprises and hopes, and what happened when he explored Afternoon Town, the plots of the kings and the prophecy of the clergymen gave him a sense of hope. With a stronger sense of urgency, there is no longer any expectation for the return of the Creator.

The combination of two factors, plus Lovia's and Derrick's anomalies, and the prophecy of the doomsday disaster, Colin Iliad, the chief of the "six-member council",

The senior demigod, the powerful "demon hunter", had to try to dance on the blade, and had to consider making a deal with a hidden existence.

Breathing out silently, Colin took a step back and recited in a voice with a bit of vicissitudes:

"The fool who is not of this age;

"The mysterious ruler above the gray mist;

"The king of yellow and black who holds good fortune;

"I pray to you, I pray for the power from the mystery, I pray for the gift of good luck, I pray that you will make the items on the altar form a spell..."

Colin felt very frustrated. As soon as the rhythmic and mysterious voice fell, the altar he saw suddenly became dark and deep, as if an indescribable and ineffable divinity was permeating from the candle in the middle.

The candle flame suddenly rose and became larger, but it failed to illuminate the surroundings. On the contrary, it made everything more illusory, and made countless transparent shadows of different shapes appear, covering every place, or sparse or dense.

On the high place of this illusory world and countless figures, there are seven discs of different colors, which seem to contain endless knowledge.

And above the seven pure lights, there is a boundless gray mist, an ancient palace overlooking everything.

"Demon Hunter" Colin forgot other things for a short while, and just looked at the picture on the altar with concentration, as if a thing that only existed in books and ancient books had passed through the obstacles of illusion and reality, and came true to his face.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the projection of the spirit world.

Before that disaster, before the Creator abandoned this land, it was easy to observe and even enter the spiritual world!

Now it only exists in the Silver City textbooks and various materials, the spiritual world that no one can touch!

At this moment, the illusory creaking sound suddenly sounded, and in the ancient palace overlooking the gray fog and the spirit world, it seemed that a gate had opened.

Immediately afterwards, Colin saw that the unformed charms in front of the candle glowed with a gray brilliance, and their lines were "lit up" one after another, intertwined together, and suddenly burst into a dazzling and rich glow, turning the sterling silver sheet Wrapped with the ring bug.

The dark world on the entire altar was also distorted instantly.

Everything quickly returned to normal, but there were two more strange spells made of black crystal on the altar, which seemed to be a pair of eyes of a certain existence, quietly watching the world.

"Demon Hunter" Colin was stunned for a moment, restrained his eyes, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your gift;

"Praise you for being there."

Without delay, he immediately ended the ceremony and lifted the blockade.

After finishing these things, the chief of the City of Silver's "six-member council" returned to the desk and picked up the two charms made from the relics of Amon's avatar.

Until now, the picture he saw just now still remains in his mind:

According to his knowledge of mysticism, the ones located high in the spiritual world should be the seven lights mentioned in some ancient books, which are considered to be close to the gods, but all the information does not record what is above the seven lights. What does that piece of gray fog symbolize, and who does that ancient palace surrounded by gray fog and overlooking the entire spiritual world represent.

And during the whole ceremony, Colin Iliad only felt that the "fool" he was praying to was deep, mysterious, and aloof, unlike some evil creatures who always like to show off their own power, and can't wait to show something.

Such a performance, which is similarly described in the records of the City of Silver, belongs to that Creator!

Looking at the spell in his hand and checking his own state, the gray-haired "Demon Hunter" Colin suddenly closed his eyes, because one figure after another inexplicably flashed in his mind:

Those were the father, mother, elder brother, younger sister, eldest son, youngest son, daughter and eldest grandson whose lives were terminated by his own hands.

The already somewhat old chief was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed in a low voice:

"Two thousand five hundred and eighty-three years..."

After two thousand five hundred and eighty-three years, the City of Silver finally got another normal response.

…………

In the library of the steeple.

Derrick found a notebook that he hadn't seen before in the area of ​​ancient mythology that he often browsed.

The cover of this notebook is made of some kind of monster's leather, with obvious patterns, and the paper inside is old and yellow, recording the experience of the original owner when he encountered different monsters.

Most of these monsters can be found in the textbooks of the City of Silver, even the characteristics. However, there are a lot of battle reflections and experiences in the notes, which made Derrick very interested and serious.

Flipping through it, he suddenly noticed a monster called "Shaper".

This kind of monster does not have the wisdom of communication, but it is good at setting traps, dealing with targets, and can pretend to be others, and use various seemingly incredible methods to complete the hunt...

The owner of the note commented that it was weird and dangerous.

This is very similar to Mr. "World"'s guess about the characteristics of the trick monster... Could it be that the "shape-shifter" is the trick monster? Derrick was overjoyed, and quickly browsed back, and found that this kind of monster lived in a city-state ruins farther to the north, and because the monsters in the darkness of that area were powerful and terrifying, even the "Six-member Council" could They couldn't deal with some of them, so after the first two attempts, the City of Silver's exploration of the vicinity was temporarily suspended, and it has not resumed until now. For similar reasons, the city of Silver's textbooks did not describe the characteristic monsters there.

After reading these records, Derrick subconsciously turned the notes to the last page, wanting to know who personally experienced those two thrilling explorations.

In the clattering sound, he scanned a name:

"Colin Iliad."

…………

Disey County, Port Escorson.

Klein returned to the real world, rubbed his forehead, went straight to the bed, and fell down suddenly.

In order to let the Chief of the City of Silver have a better impression of "The Fool" and generate more trust, he took the initiative to add special effects when he responded just now, and the "Secret Agreement Ceremony", "Sacrifice and Bestowment Ceremony" included The mysterious space above the gray mist that will appear is forcibly displayed, which consumes a lot of spirituality, and the whole person is more tired and wants to sleep.

Find food for "Squirming Hunger" after waking up, and let it take a good rest above the gray mist now... Klein thought drowsily, and soon fell asleep, from morning to afternoon, until Waking up to the gurgling of my stomach.
