Volume 6: War and Peace in the Black Forest Chapter 11: Prelude to the Ceremony (Part 1)
"Boss, let's go to the four corners to draw the talismans first. Do you think this time is enough? About eight hours. What do you think?"
"It shouldn't be a problem. I'll contact you privately when I'm ready ."
"That's good."
Holding the magic book tightly in their arms, several players looked at Li Lin and showed their most sincere smiles.
Good guy, really good guy. He gives away equipment and takes on quests. He is simply the Lei Feng of modern online games. Although I heard that such good guys appeared in the early days of plane games, after the start of the full-scale infiltration, such good guys have become less and less. I didn't expect that there is still one here.
The magic book has been spreading a secret and heart-pounding wave around. The floating virus spores around were dispersed by the pus spread by the magic book. The energy attached to this strange magic book seemed to be extremely terrifying. Rather than dispersing, it was like a series of small black holes that were devouring the remnants of the virus. If you look closely, you can find that it seems that some invisible things are devouring those tumors, which makes people look creepy.
However, this is not a problem for the technical flow and professional players of Longcheng. Rather, if they did not have these intentions, they would feel this awesome skill and magic book were not worthy of them. After all, it is a terrifying thing called the first seal. If it does not have this ability, how can it be called a good thing? And these changes made the players very happy and thanked them again and again.
"Now that we have this magic book, if there is any problem with you, we will contact you directly. If you can save us, please do so. Is that ok? We are really lacking in strength..."
"If you can't even draw the talisman, then I'm really helpless. After all, I have to preside over the ceremony. If you can't do this well, then there's no point."
"Hahaha, that's true. Then let's go draw talismans at the other gates first."
Seeing that they could pass the level as it couldn't be easier, the players didn't feel too disappointed. They all bowed to Li Lin with a heroic spirit, then packed up their equipment and ran into the forest in high spirits.
Although the Black Forest had undergone a considerable degree of mutation, these players had passed level 10 and had some combat experience and had awakened their magic. Strictly speaking, they were much more capable than Li Lin was in the dungeon. To deal with this forest that had only undergone some mutations, Li Lin believed that as long as they did not commit suicide by running deep into the Black Forest or simply entering the city, they would probably have no problem.
As it turned out, they shouted in excitement after running just a few steps and saw that they were indeed immune to the toxin, just like gorillas in heat. Sally frowned at this.
“…People always think these people are unreliable.”
Looking at the players shouting and yelling excitedly, Sally wrinkled her nose and said unwillingly:
"They look like they are eager for you, but they actually just admire your power. They don't care about you at all. This is not a respectful look."
“That’s what players are like.”
Li Lin was not surprised by this.
The premise for players to accept a big boss is that they only need to do some simple things and then shout "six six six". If someone is really asked to do something complicated, they will be questioned. Big boss, are you capable? Big boss, are you reliable? Big boss, are you fake? Such doubts will emerge in an endless stream.
So instead of expecting the players to make something complicated, it would be better to just throw a magic book I made to them and let them figure out what to do. This would be good for both Li Lin and the players.
Both parties can get satisfaction and self-recognition, so why not do it?
"Let's not do anything fancy this time. Let's just sacrifice the entire city. A corpse can't understand magic."
After taking out the materials for the ritual, Li Lin took out a dagger and cut his wrist. Bright red blood gradually gushed out, outlining mysterious and beautiful lines along the lines of magic around Li Lin.
The Death Fear Ritual, a mysterious ritual knowledge obtained in Fantasy High School, can drag the entire town's people directly into the nightmare. When the first seal was not yet complete, Li Lin could use some runes to distort the space around him into the nightmare world. Now with the blessing of the first seal, this combination of curse seal and sacrifice has become simpler and more convenient.
The enemies were all resurrected corpses howling in the city, with no ability or signs of rushing out. And he had several player companions, and Sally was next to him, and he happened to have the First Seal and the Death Fear Ritual, which were good things for killing and robbing. At first, he thought this thing was useless, but with the blessing of the First Seal, the player assistant, and Sally, this thing could directly drag the entire Black Forest into the nightmare, and directly clear the entire venue while performing a blood sacrifice. There was not even a trace of virus left. The nightmare world has not yet intelligently distinguished the nightmare of the virus.
"If you want to sacrifice a city, you need to prepare more..."
Feeling the resentment and temptation coming from within the city, Li Lin was not moved at all. He took out some paper and magic crystals from the player space, crushed them and smeared them on the ground, which formed a weird and terrifying resonance .
The world around him roared, and an invisible wave spread around the entire talisman. Strange low hums and wailing sounds gradually flashed around Li Lin. As the price of casting this talisman, Li Lin's face under the mask became paler and more transparent, with a palpitating grayish white. The complex and beautiful patterns of the first seal soon appeared on his wrist.
Sallys was lying on Li Lin's head, throwing out small balls from time to time to fill the sacrificial site. This was not a special sacrificial platform, but the symbol thrown out by a great demon still had a certain degree of mysterious blessing. As the blood and soil mixed, it was as if time had reappeared. A cold dark red storm hung around, and everything that had happened here turned into shadows that kept flashing in front of Li Lin, and then disappeared on the spot.
"The ceremony has been prepared...it's up to them now."
Looking at the shadows that appeared as the talisman shone, Li Lin covered his wrist, and the granulation tissue quickly filled the wound. The severe blood loss made Li Lin stagger, but he still stood firm and spoke with a slight breath.
