Blood of Mercury

Because Caral hates wizards, there is no magic circle in the basement of the Tomb of Thousand Heads to provide light, and the entire basement should be pitch black.

But in the deepest part of the tunnel-like basement, a dim blood-red light flickered faintly.

It was a round altar. The area alone is about 50 square meters.

The altar used a black stone as the base, on which the magic circle was drawn with mercury, and the five corners of the circle were placed with sulphur blocks carved into internal organs, and a thin layer of salt was sprinkled on the circle.

At this moment, Claudia was quietly curled up in the center of the circle, her face pale and bloodless. There was obviously no wound on her body, but the mercury that was slowly flowing on the array was already dyed with a faint bright red.

"……really."

Roland narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

Now, he finally understood who Claudia's enemy was.

He had a hunch when he learned that Claudia had been brought to the Tomb of Thousand Heads, but he wasn't sure yet.

Because maybe Claudia was just caught here, not put into this circle.

But when Roland saw the normal bloodline stripping circle, he realized that the Crowley family was in danger - unfortunately, he came a step late, otherwise he should have caught that guy.

Although the Tomb of Thousand Heads is only a copy of the black iron rank, this copy has a very important function, that is, it is the only place other than the White Pagoda where the bloodline stripping ceremony can be performed.

This is the wisdom of the ancient alchemists and wizards - the wisdom still known as mages.

Using sulfur, mercury, and salt to replace the body, mind, and spirit of the ritual performer would greatly reduce the difficulty of the ritual, which is more difficult than blood exchange, and turn it into a simple operation like blood transfusion.

To put it simply, the victim is thrown into the magic circle. After the witchcraft ritual is completed, the bloodline of the subject will be considered to be transformed into the bloodline of the victim.

Although the role they wanted to play at the beginning was to steal the blood of the Silver Seed and even the Gold Seed to increase their lifespan, they obviously found that they had failed.

The inheritance of the blood of silver is not only reflected in the body, it is also synchronized in spirit. If you just transform your own blood into silver blood, but do not synchronously modify the purity of your soul. Then it will only turn into a terrible monster in the end.

Also known as the ancient hideous.

Almost all of those terrifying monsters with pure silver blood or even gold blood have awakened their origins. With the combat experience gained from the depths of their bloodline, their single combat power is even far greater than that of demons of the same level. But they have lost their spiritual sense and become a tangled mass of meat.

But. This ritual still has its meaning, which is to steal the blood of creatures of the same race.

——For example, killing all the heirs of a family, then stealing their blood, and taking the family's inheritance as the only remaining illegitimate child of the family.

Although the shape-shifting abilities of enemies of Kabbalah are terrifying. But there is a fatal flaw, that is, their deformation is rooted in the image determined by "fantasy", not to mention imitating blood, that is, for example, there is a deformation such as a birthmark in a private place, if they do not I know it can't be replicated.

So, let’s get all the information I got now—two enemies of Kabbalah who don’t know each other, the forest occupied by the Dusk Seeds, Banza who was almost destroyed by the Dusk Seeds from the inside three years later, and a hereditary Earl but kept a low profile The terrifying Crowleys, a month-old clone of Claudia...and finally, the blood-stealing ceremonial pedestal and the missing ceremonial host.

Roland narrowed his eyes.

There is no doubt that the chess pieces buried by the Twilight Infected who set off a wave of destruction in Banza are undoubtedly the Crowley family. The method is to let the enemies of Kabbalah steal the blood of the Crowley family, use the Crowley family as a wedge to drive into Banza, and destroy this behemoth from the inside.

What knowledge was in Claudia's mind was revealed to the enemies of Kabbalah that Roland had suspected before - what they wanted was Claudia's memory of the Crowley family and some secrets.

Wait until Claudia's blood is completely drawn out. She is bound to be devastated and dying. At this time, as long as the enemy of Kabbalah eats her head, it can become a Claudia without any flaws and infiltrate the Crowley family.

In this case, as long as they think of a way to kill Edward, the Crawley family will become the hands of these scumbags who believe in Twilight.

If Roland was more than ten minutes late, maybe they would have succeeded.

"...Cut, you run really fast."

Roland looked around with the characteristics of a twilight contact, but did not feel any resonance. So he quickly determined that the enemy of Kabbalah should have run away from the gap.

The person who held this ceremony should have been with the Kabbalah enemy that Roland first killed. Possibly even the mother of the enemy of the juvenile Kabbalah.

And the second enemy of Kabbalah who is guarding here should be responsible for another thing, such as deceiving Macken and Claude and letting them discover the fact that Claudia was missing later.

If Roland guessed correctly, it was the servant that Claudia took with him at the stubborn oak lock. There are spies who come in at dusk. Otherwise, it is impossible for the second Kabbalah enemy to know Roland's name, but he does not know that he and Claudia are not familiar enough to call him by his first name.

...of course, naturally after today.

Roland stepped forward, crossed Claudia's leg with his right hand, lightly supported her back with his left hand, and picked her up. Moved out of the ritual ring.

Although her eyes were still tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and she let out a weak moan of pain, her body was noticeably relaxed.

Roland was not nervous.

This is the normal situation.

In the bloodline stripping array, people should feel that the whole body is paralyzed and unable to move, and the cold feeling of blood flowing from the body drop by drop. That kind of feeling is enough to cause people to have hallucinations of death. If the will attribute is not high enough, they may even be scared to death by nightmares when the blood loss reaches a lethal amount.

And Claudia was removed from the circle, and the despair and fear of constant blood loss disappeared immediately, and her consciousness began to wake up, but because her body was too weak, she would have a fever for a while.

However, if Roland dealt with it a little now, her pain would be much lessened.

Roland placed her on the ground carefully, preventing her back from touching the cold ground, and then placed her right hand on her forehead, flashing a warm light green light.

- Healing Touch.

The gentle natural energy turned into the warmest vitality, slowly flowing into the body from her head like warm milk. This warmth is enough to keep her from having nightmares, and the disease caused by blood loss will not continue to worsen.

After that, if you want to heal her, you need the prayer just given by the long-sleeping teacher.

Roland only now realized why the long-sleeping teacher gave the harmless chant at this time. A feeling of crying and laughing at being forced by his mother to go on a blind date slowly emerged in Roland's heart.

...Don't make trouble, boss, I don't have time in the United States to fall in love now~www.wuxiaspot.com~ But even though it feels weird in my heart, Roland's face is still solemn, and his right index finger is pressed against Claudy Ya's forehead.

"May all the glory go to the mentor—"

As if afraid of waking Claudia, Roland said softly in a low, hoarse voice:

"You have the power to strengthen me because I fit the gospel you preach and the truth you reveal."

A gentle silver-white halo flickered from Roland's right index finger, and Roland quickly crossed Claudia's forehead.

To his surprise, the silver light flickered instead of disappearing immediately as if it had stuck to Claudia's forehead.

This shows that she has no faith now, and the harmless chant from the long-sleeping mentor has had a profound impact on her like the baptism magic.

...she's not the priest of the Goddess of War? !

Roland was startled. (To be continued.)
