"Regarding the sacrifices directed at you, I've already designed corresponding prayer phrases. Listen to them first, and we can modify them if there's anything wrong."
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Klein, who was already listening attentively, became even more focused.
Immediately after, he heard Lin Ruo say:
"The incantation goes like this—
The Fool who does not belong to this era;
You are the mysterious ruler above the gray fog;
You are the King of Yellow and Black who holds good luck.
Your faithful servant begs for your attention;
I beg you to accept these offerings;
I begs you to open the gates to your kingdom."
Clearly, these were just a few simple sentences, and he could have read them in a respectful tone, but Lin Ruo deliberately read them with both solemnity and piety, making it perfectly clear to Klein that this guy was deliberately acting strange.
Heh, trying to mock me again.
Klein's hand, which was taking notes, paused. Having been tempered thoroughly, he could calmly face such a small scene without even a change in expression. He continued taking notes while asking:
"Are there only these few lines in the incantation?"
After saying that, he received no response for several seconds, which made Klein couldn't help but look up at Lin Ruo, only to find that the other party was looking at him with a rather gratified expression.
"My boy, you've finally grown up! It seems my special training was very useful!" When Lin Ruo said this, his expression was one of great satisfaction, as if he were a hardworking father who had finally seen his child top the imperial examination list.
Klein froze.
He never expected Lin Ruo to react this way.
After several seconds, Klein said through slightly gritted teeth, "Teach properly, Teacher Lin." He deliberately emphasized the title 'Teacher Lin'.
"Understood, understood, my dear student!" Lin Ruo replied with a smile, no longer acting strangely, and returned to his previous lecturing state, saying:
"The incantations for sacrificial rituals are originally very simple. The difficulty lies in how to ensure that you can arouse the interest of unknown existences and obtain a response! If our experiment is truly successful, when someone performs this sacrifice to you, you should be able to respond in the gray fog and collect the corresponding offerings."
"However, I don't have much experience in this area, and I don't know how to operate it. You'll have to figure it out yourself then!" Lin Ruo continued.
"Corresponding to the sacrificial ritual is the ritual of requesting a bestowal. The bestowal ritual process is basically the same as the sacrificial ritual, except you need to replace the phrase after your honored name with 'Your faithful servant begs for your attention; begs you to open the gates of the kingdom; begs you to bestow power.'
"How is it? Isn't it very simple?"
"It's indeed not difficult…" Klein nodded, then suddenly said with some difficulty, "But this ritual experiment requires spiritual materials, and I'm afraid I don't have much money to buy them for the time being… The reimbursement limit with the Captain is also limited."
Ah, this!
Poverty is indeed the primary element preventing the development of the Tarot Club!
Lin Ruo blinked, showing no surprise, but while sighing in his heart, he said, "Don't worry, the experiments before success will be done by me. It's just a little spiritual material, it's nothing to me. Anyway, I originally decided to teach you this ritual, so I will naturally bear the cost of trial and error."
"Then I'll have to trouble you…" Klein didn't politely refuse, after all, he really didn't have that much money. Moreover, he already owed Lin Ruo enough, so he didn't mind owing a little more.
He would slowly repay it in the future… Even knowing the reason why Lin Ruo had been helping him all along, Klein still didn't take all the previous help for granted, but silently remembered all the help in his heart.
"It's no trouble. Let's set an experiment time. How about tonight? You should be free tonight… Hmm?" Lin Ruo waved his hand, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a burst of stinging pain coming from between his eyebrows.
The stinging pain came quickly and went quickly, and Lin Ruo, who had long been accustomed to this kind of sudden stinging pain, knew that it meant a [Truth] had failed.
That was the [Truth] he had written about the clues being discovered by the Punishers.
And Lin Ruo was very sure that he hadn't consumed much when writing this [Truth] before. This meant that at least before, this matter was very likely to happen even without his promotion.
But it failed so suddenly, after Lin Ruo further amplified the possibility of it happening.
Lin Ruo's eyes dimmed for a moment, but he showed no surprise.
He had long guessed that this matter would be interfered with, and had never even hoped that the clues left by Lanevus could truly be discovered by the Punishers.
Just as he never believed that Mr. A could really take Megose away from Tingen.
Rather, the failure of this [Truth] was the result Lin Ruo expected, because it meant that Ince didn't intend to give up his layout against Tingen.
This was exactly what Lin Ruo needed at the moment.
He knew that Ince was a radical person, which was reflected in many places in the original book. Perhaps Ince had already been half-mad since the moment he failed to advance to a demigod.
Knowing what such a person would do under the stimulation of the current situation, Lin Ruo knew it well and planned to take advantage of it.
Now he was just waiting for the Storm Demigod to officially enter the arena… Lin Ruo thought like this, his thoughts returning, and he found Klein looking at him with a worried expression.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Ruo immediately raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Lin Ruo, are you okay?" Klein asked, his tone slightly worried.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just… something good happened!" Lin Ruo smiled casually.
Wasn't it a good thing? The time to clean up Ince was at hand.
Good thing? Klein frowned. He didn't think that something really good had happened, because at that moment just now, Lin Ruo's eyes were quite terrifying.
But Klein didn't ask anything more after all. He wasn't the kind of person who had to get to the bottom of everything.
Lin Ruo continued to ask, "Regarding the experiment, you should be free tonight, right?"
"Yes!" Klein nodded, and the two agreed on a specific time, and then began the next lesson.
… …
At the same time, in an apartment in Tingen City, a fire ignited by coincidence burned Lanevus's former bedroom to ashes, and also burned the letter he deliberately left in the bedroom for the Punishers.
This is exactly in line with the development written on the notebook spread out in a house with red chimneys in the suburbs of Tingen:
… …
"With the help of Ince Zangwill, Lanevuss ritual was successful, and Megose became pregnant with a child belonging to the True Creator…"
"Lanevus, who had performed the ritual, finally calmed down from his impulsive emotions and realized that the Evil God's child would not allow himself to have a mortal as a father, so he decided to escape from Tingen. But before escaping, he left a letter to the Punishers, perhaps because he wanted to use the Punishers' hands to get rid of the Evil God's child…"
… …
"It's really surprising that Mr. A, who is far away in Backlund, actually came to Tingen, wanting to take Megose away. He seems to have received an oracle from the True Creator, which is unreasonable, but who knows what an Evil God is thinking?"
"Poor Ince Zangwill, his plan is once again beginning to slide towards failure. Perhaps this is because he is not good at making up stories, after all, he is just…" The handwriting suddenly stopped here, as if someone had pressed the pen down hard.
Then, there was another kind of handwriting that was slightly different from the handwriting above:
"There are always many accidents. A sudden fire burned down Lanevus's apartment, and naturally burned the letter he left behind…"
"Because of the Punishers' recent search operations, Mr. A, who did not dare to act rashly, did not find Megose in the first time, which is reasonable…"
"Ince Zangwill's plan will not fail, he will get what he wants!"
