"Remember, the nine rat hearts contaminated with daffodil pollen can be used in ceremonies to replace the hearts of babies."
"Father" taught slowly: "Because nine is the number of blood and desire. But the narcissus pollen on each one should not exceed one-third, otherwise Ms. Silence will 'veto' it."
Only four or five people quietly stared wide-eyed, watching the miracle performed by the old man.
Others took hearing stoppers—cheap conversions that temporarily lose their hearing and quickly recover when they smell shit.
Every time before the ceremony, the "White Snake" executives who are not qualified to learn the ceremony but hope to become core members will consciously take a listening agent.
They also know that this is also their protection.
In the past few years, they have seen too many examples of tragic deaths due to ritual failures...
Without orthodox inheritance, they would never easily use the rituals they heard half a word.
… But having said that, you still have to watch it.
Those who can come here are all high-level and core members. For example, Bob—the tall and thin stalker, he is also qualified to participate in the caucus.
Those ordinary peripheral members don't know who they are serving at all; and those who are a little closer to the core will not tell the secret about "Papa", but use the "Church of Rotten Man" as a cover.
The reason is also very simple.
They are all confident that they can become "father"'s apprentices.
Most of these core members are not natives of Roseburg—they are all apprentices who followed "father" to several cities.
The reason why they came here was because the Church of the Rotten Man set a very generous price for them. The Viscount Roseburg also knew of their existence a long time ago, and allowed them to develop—this is also the fundamental reason why the "White Snake" was able to unknowingly control the entire underground forces in Roseburg.
"White Snake" is just their lair.
After all, performing the ceremony requires the collection of a large amount of rare materials. And if the purchase is centralized, it is easy to make the Yinjue Church, which also has some extraordinary knowledge, suspicious.
So they secretly killed the original leader of the "White Snake", and used the power of this underground gang to collect ritual materials secretly and slowly under the cover of logistics.
"Daddy" is for making money and treasures.
And they are just for "learning".
Learn these forbidden lore—
"But in this ritual, we use a mouse's heart instead of a baby's heart. This is because the mouse's heart and the cat's heel can form another easy combination, which allows us to avoid the use of 'hunter's heel' and 'The fragments of the prey captured by it'. Remember to cut with a rusty ritual knife to manifest the elements of killing."
The old man said slowly, cut the cat's heel into three pieces, and arranged them into a triangle.
"This heralds the 'walk of the stalker' and the 'dead life of the hunted'. And the frog's heart soaked in the elixir can resume beating after the electric shock... the moment its heartbeat stops again, the ceremony begins the moment—it heralds the moment when life yields to death."
"Father" explained, but the work in his hands did not stop.
His explanation is very careful.
But the only thing not to mention is the "weight".
This is the experience every ritual master lives by.
It is also to control their apprentices... so that they will not use any crooked restraints on their lives and knowledge.
This allows apprentices to work for themselves for an additional number of years as "assistants" as they mature. And after being exposed to a lot of rituals and accumulating enough experience in the assistant stage, drive them away in time—or kill them to silence them.
"Is that all you need, Father?"
The brown-skinned tattooed woman asked with a smile, "Don't hide your secrets."
"Of course not, Greenscale."
The old man glanced at her and replied nonchalantly.
Like the nickname "Papa", the brown-skinned woman also has a nickname—her nickname is "Green Scale".
The reason why they don’t use their real names is because they understand the dangers of curse-killing rituals on the one hand, and at the same time they have no money and no face to ask idol wizards to make doubles for themselves... On the other hand, it is to guard against their teachers and students and classmates.
"Father" added casually in a hoarse voice: "What we want to summon is the skeleton crow of the funeral god, the Faceless Poet. It has the ability to detect and harm the dead... When you are preparing to steal corpses, you can summon One will keep watch for you.
"This ritual is a simplified version. If you want to summon the Skeletal Crow in a targeted manner, you must have the 'Remnants of the Silent Funeral' as a guide—otherwise you may attract the 'Invisible Hunter' or the 'Woman in the Mist', or you may succeed , Of course, it may fail due to lack of strength. If it fails, its price can stop your heart beating for thirty seconds at worst.
"So, when you see a funeral with this atmosphere, you can go around and collect the influence, after all, the influence is easy to remove. You can cleanse the influence by crying before it reverberates."
Although before, "father" had concealed something from them.
But after "Green Scale" pointed out this point, he explained it to them honestly and carefully.
And as the frog's heart stopped beating.
The expression of "Papa" suddenly became solemn, and the others became quiet in an instant.
He quickly lifted up a human leg bone and placed it horizontally on the ceremony field.
Then, his old pupils were instantly covered with a layer of gray haze.
After a short delay, dense cold sweat oozes from "Daddy"'s forehead.
And in front of everyone, those nine hearts suddenly started to burn at the same time, releasing gray dim flames. After they were all burned out, the flames still didn't go away—instead, there were three more clusters of black flames, which began to slowly burn the cat's heels.
But at this moment, the sound of clattering rang out.
It's like the sound of putting many building block toys in a bag and shaking them vigorously.
But the apprentices soon realized that it was the sound of bones colliding with each other.
In front of "Papa", countless broken bones of birds emerged from the void, and then collided with each other, forming a raven about half a meter high.
It was nothing but bones, with a gray flame burning in its skull...but it could still fly.
The skeletal crow flew around in the air—when its eyes swept somewhere, it suddenly let out a loud "quack" and flew over immediately.
— If citalopram could see this scene, she would immediately realize that this was where she stood for the longest time before!
Afterwards, a bloodstain appeared under Skull Crow.
It moved crookedly on the ground, avoiding everyone, and stopped in front of the shelves.
That's the citalopram track of action!
"Sure enough, there are ghosts."
"Father" sneered, and made a hoarse voice: "This is not necessarily the Crow's house, it may be the Skeleton Man who did it. It may also be a wild undead.
"We need to summon something... to ensure the ability to protect ourselves.
"You guys are optimistic - you can perform continuous summoning while you are 'fearful'.
"The necessary materials for summoning the 'loather', I taught it last time. The necessary material is that the summoner has any strong emotion of fear, sadness, pain, and regret—plus an old photo album that was burned , the kidney of a desperate male shooter, and unused poison that's over a decade past its expiration date. It's all in stock...you get it."
"Father" ordered slowly.
His narrow eyes were full of fear. But this fear did not affect his speech and thinking.
He is familiar with religious knowledge, of course he knows that this is not something that the skeleton can do.
— This is the trace of the "half-dead daughter".
The only possibility is that Don Juan Geraint has discovered them... and hired a half-dead daughter to conduct an initial test.
Fortunately, his apprentices could not read these traces.
On the one hand, it was because "father" needed them to help him. Get all the items needed for the ceremony.
On the other hand...
The "apprentice who suffered betrayal" can also be used as a ritual material for Lord Skeletal...to become a powerful Skeleton Guard.
But the Skeleton Guard will not strike, so that must be the content of the last call.
