Although the process had some twists and turns, our Teacher Lin Ruo's little class finally started smoothly.
The first thing taught after the class started was naturally the "Sacrificial Ritual" that Lin Ruo himself had wanted to teach for a long time, which could help the Tarot Club expand its express delivery business and officially open the Sefirah Castle Logistics Company.
"Generally speaking, the first thing that ordinary people should keep in mind when using sacrificial rituals is caution, because evil gods and certain hidden existences don't have things like conscience. If you place your safety on them, it's basically the same as courting death." Leaning against the table, Lin Ruo looked at Klein, who was diligently taking notes while listening, and said unhurriedly:
"Secondly, you must have a strong enough ability to distinguish, because the thing that evil gods and demons like to do most is to wear disguises and create alternate accounts."
"The same goes for secret organizations. For example, the Theosophy Order is actually an alt account of the Demoness Sect. Of course, that's beside the point. I'll teach you about this later... In short, you must never make sacrifices to existences that you don't understand or are not sure about, because that's basically courting death."
After earnestly telling Klein the precautions for the sacrificial ritual, Lin Ruo smiled and said, "Of course, you don't have to be so particular about sacrificing to yourself, as long as you don't court death when sacrificing to other unknown existences in the future..."
Speaking of this, Lin Ruo paused, thinking of Klein's operation in the original book when he was disguised, using the sacrificial ritual to locate the Sea God, and finally picking up the Sea God's Scepter, and his smile couldn't help but become a little strange.
"But the specific situation can be analyzed specifically..."
"Uh, Lin Ruo, have you courted death before?" Completely acting like a good student, Klein, who was diligently taking notes, heard this and paused his movements, looking at the strange smile on Lin Ruo's face, and asked tentatively.
No, you're the one who courted death!
Lin Ruo roared in his heart, but on the surface, he gave him a nonchalant glance and said, "What are you thinking? I never sacrifice to unknown existences... Listen to the class properly!"
"Oh..." Klein immediately became as quiet as a chicken.
Lin Ruo then continued to lecture: "To use the sacrificial ritual, we must first set up an altar, and then inscribe on the altar the symbolic symbols corresponding to the gods or hidden existences you are sacrificing to... By the way, Klein, what is the symbolic symbol of the Fool?" Lin Ruo looked at Klein as if he had suddenly thought of this.
Symbolic symbol? Klein was stunned for a moment, and realized that he, the "Fool who does not belong to this era," actually didn't know what his corresponding symbolic symbol was.
Then he heard Lin Ruo's slightly teasing voice:
"No way, no way? Our Mr. Fool doesn't even know his own symbolic symbol? Is this the Fool? Love it, love it."
Klein: ...
It's hard, my fist is hard!
He could tell that Lin Ruo's mischievousness had already exploded, and he was thinking about persecution all day long.
He didn't know how he usually got along with his other friends, how he hadn't been beaten to death...
No, child, I just like to persecute specific groups of people, such as you, such as a certain "The taste of a demoness is not bad" Emperor, and another who backstabbed the former boss's family, eight legged... Cough, I can't say this!
Lin Ruo, who could completely guess what Klein was thinking, thought slowly in his heart, but didn't urge him much.
Although Klein's blood pressure rose for a moment because of Lin Ruo's teasing, he then calmed down and began to think about what the symbol corresponding to the "Fool" was.
Soon, Klein thought of the complex symbol composed of the "Pupilless Eye" that partially symbolized secrecy and the "Twisted Lines" that partially symbolized change behind the high-backed chair at the top of the bronze long table.
That should be my symbolic symbol... The domain corresponds to, in all likelihood, secrecy, change, good luck... But I can't be sure!
While thinking this, Klein quickly sketched a symbolic symbol of the Fool on the notebook and showed it to Lin Ruo: "The Fool's symbolic symbol should be this, but I can't be 100% sure..."
"Well..." Lin Ruo pretended to take the notebook and glanced at it, then returned it, and said: "It's okay, even if the symbolic symbol is wrong, under the premise that the honored name is correct, the sacrificial target will not point to other existences, at most it will cause the failure of the ritual, there will be no danger... At worst, do a few more experiments and slowly find the correct symbolic symbol."
Klein nodded when he heard this, and then heard Lin Ruo continue to say:
"In addition to engraving the symbolic symbols corresponding to the gods or hidden existences you are sacrificing to on the altar, you also need to use herbs and minerals belonging to His domain, or pre-made holy oil, balm, incense and other items."
"These things are used to please the gods. You can skip them if you sacrifice to yourself... But if our experiment is really successful, when you teach Justice and the Hanged Man later, even if they don't need it, it's best to let them add this part, after all, that will seem more formal and more classy."
Lin Ruo emphasized, "Although Mr. Fool is very approachable, you can't be too casual."
Klein hurriedly took notes, thinking about which items he should use to please himself if it was a sacrificial ritual to himself.
Lin Ruo then continued to lecture unhurriedly: "Secondly, you have to figure out whether sacrificing to the corresponding existence needs to be at a specific time point, and then follow the normal ritual process until you finish chanting the honored name and prayer."
"Finally, use materials with spirituality, combined with the vibrations of natural forces caused by the incantation, to build a preliminary channel, connecting to the channel to the corresponding existence's 'Gate of the Divine Kingdom'. Of course, the other side may not respond to you, unless He is interested in your sacrifice..."
"What needs to be noted here is that the prayer must be in Jotun, Dragonese, Elvish, or Ancient Hermes. These languages are naturally directly related to natural forces and can help you communicate with unknown existences..."
Speaking of this, Lin Ruo paused, looked at Klein, and emphasized: "In fact, not only sacrificial rituals, but also many rituals or things related to mysticism require these languages, so I suggest you learn these languages. If you can't find another teacher, I can teach you."
Just like he has been self-studying during this period, and has successfully mastered Jotun and Dragonese, the next plan is to learn Elvish.
Klein paused his hand while taking notes. He never expected that learning a sacrificial ritual would add several more language courses.
Thinking of the busy study life he had been living during this period, Klein suddenly had a feeling of dreaming back to his senior year of high school... No, at least this doesn't require daily exams, it's just that you're more likely to court death if you don't study hard.
Klein, who was complaining in his heart, finally nodded.
He knew that learning these languages was indeed beneficial to him.
Lin Ruo smiled when he saw this, and continued: "Regarding the prayers pointing to you, I have already designed the corresponding prayers. Listen to it first, and we will change it if there is anything wrong."
