An Ordinary Fantasy Adventure in the Continent of Faerun

Chapter 191 Beast Soul Awakening Ceremony

After making up his mind, Noshier immediately took action.

He first carefully checked the items and materials needed for this ceremony on the panel, then went directly to the Witch Grocery Store to buy them all, and finally brought these materials to the Grey Harbor Wharf in Baldur's Gate.

His original intention was to find a secluded and deserted natural place suitable for arranging the ceremony, because although this ceremony has no effect on the surrounding environment, it cannot be disturbed by others, so a quiet environment is very important. However, the fleets and workers coming and going on the Grey Harbor Wharf obviously do not meet this condition, but it doesn't matter, because only this section of the area is prosperous.

Baldur's Gate is a coastal city. As long as you walk a little further to the west, you can see a very wide coastline, and if you go south, you will enter the hinterland of the Jonsa River. Now Noshier only needs to choose a direction and walk a distance to easily find a large area where no one will disturb him.

After a brief consideration, he chose to go west, because Baldur's Gate is not just the Grey Harbor dock, which means that most of the places along the river in Baldur's Gate and the places to the south are very prosperous, with a large number of people busy at the docks. It takes more time to find a suitable place there, while the coastline to the west is not the case.

Except for some strategic locations patrolled by soldiers of the Flaming Fist, most of the areas there are empty and uninhabited. Although the distance there is not close, because there are not many people, Noshiel can fly freely without worrying about the no-fly order of Baldur's Gate, so it is much faster to go back and forth.

After deciding on the location, Noshiel spread his wings and took off directly from the Grey Harbor dock, and flew towards the estuary of the Jonsa River in the surprised eyes of some dock workers.

——

"Let's go here, the environment is pretty good."

After flying for half an hour, Noshiel stopped on an empty beach. The terrain here is desolate, there are no people around, no plants or animals, and it can be regarded as a good and quiet place.

Noshier observed the place for a while, and finally found a desolate rocky hill far away from the coast. After making sure that the surrounding environment was safe, he immediately prepared to arrange the ceremony on the spot.

He arranged the prepared materials, most of which were fresh mushrooms, into a neat circle according to the rules of ritual magic, and built a bracket to communicate with the Fairy Wilds on this basis.

Noshier took off the magic items on his body and placed them outside the mushroom ring to prevent the existence of these magic items from disrupting the original function of the ceremony. Then he sat in the center of the mushroom ring and took off the necklace on his neck, took off the bear tooth in it and held it tightly in his hand. After taking a deep breath, after everything was ready, Noshier began this [Beast Soul Awakening Ceremony].

[Beast Soul Awakening] This ritual is very special. It is different from ordinary ritual magic. This ritual has extremely strict casting conditions for ordinary spellcasters.

Because this ritual is a unique ritual for the profession of Savage Heart, its biggest feature is that it can, but cannot be cast and communicate with the Fairy Wilds in the form of chanting magic spells.

The reason for this contradiction is that in the state of wild surge, that is, violent state, the barbarian cannot cast spells, including ritual magic. However, when performing this ritual, the Savage Heart must enter the state of wild surge, which creates a paradox.

To perform the ritual, you must enter the wild surge, but once you enter the wild surge, you will be in a violent state and will be completely unable to maintain the normal operation of the ritual. This is an unsolvable problem for normal barbarians.

But it is not the case for the Savage Heart.

The Savage Heart, a barbarian professional branch, is different from the ordinary barbarian professional branch. Its violent state does not oppress its own mental will, and is far less violent than the violent state of ordinary barbarians.

The violent state of ordinary barbarians will suppress their own mental will, and even if they maintain the violent state for a long time, it will cause their own intelligence to be permanently reduced, but the Savage Heart does not have this risk, which makes it possible to maintain the ritual while maintaining the violent state.

But this faces a new problem. During the ritual, he must enter a violent state, which means that Noshier cannot chant the spell. But if he does not chant the spell, how can he start the ritual and open the passage to the Feywild plane?

This problem can only be solved by the Heart of the Wild.

The moment Noshier took up the job of the Heart of the Wild, he had already established a connection with the Feywild. Because of the unique expertise of [Seeker of Spirits], he no longer needs wolf teeth or other similar items as a trigger to open the passage to the Feywild plane. He has become an anchor point connecting the passage to the Feywild plane. As long as there is a quiet environment and qualified ritual items, Noshier can communicate with the magic of nature through meditation, and use it to open the passage to the Feywild plane, so as to attract the magic of the Feywild to maintain the normal operation of the ritual.

But this is difficult.

Even though Noshir possessed the unique expertise of [Spirit Seeker] and had established a certain degree of connection with the Feywild, it was difficult for him to open the passage to the Feywild plane without chanting a spell.

But Noshir had to do this. This ritual was originally a test for the Savage Heart professional, testing the degree of fit between the professional and the beast soul in his body, as well as the physical fitness of the professional.

If he used a trick to use a spell to open the passage to the Fey Wild plane during the ritual, it meant that he did not meet the conditions for promotion at all. He would definitely fail completely when the ritual reached the second step, that is, he would enter the violent state of the Savage Surge and try to imprint the beast soul in his body.

If he wanted to successfully complete the ritual, Noshir had to maintain the operation of the ritual in the Savage Surge state. At the same time, he had to use the natural magic of the Fey Wild to completely imprint the beast soul in his body. This operation was said to be a one-pointed and two-point operation.

To do this, you must have a fairly high basic attribute as support, strength, physique and perception, the ability of these three attributes is indispensable, and any shortcoming in any one of them may lead to failure, but fortunately, Noxier has absolute confidence in his physical fitness. Even without the increase of equipment, he has left most of the professionals of the same level in the world by a large margin.

So the difficult ritual for others is just right for Noxier, but as he said before, there are too many beast souls in his body. Noxier is confident that he can easily complete the ritual once, but the second time...

To be honest, Noxier may have to spend motivation points from the second time.

Noxier took a deep breath and closed his eyes directly in the center of the mushroom ring, and then began to communicate with the bear soul in the bear tooth with his will.
