Sacrificial Ritual

"O ancient king of the dragon race, you are the ruler of the world of mind and dreams, you are the fallen dragon king of the land of fantasy..."

"I beg for your help."

"I pray for your favor."

"I beg you to guide me to the gate to the City of Miracles."

Chael tried using a non-mystical language and felt it worked quite well, then began preparing for the formal prayer ceremony.

He had already made Arrodes work hard.

However, the whereabouts of "The Travels of Grosser" cannot be found.

This book is of extremely high status, and it seems to possess a psychological veil, a quality that can reduce one's presence. Even Arrodes, through his search of the spirit world, could not find it.

The Magic Mirror's "search" ability always inadvertently overlooks the existence of this book.

Xia Er could only wait, but fortunately, he came up with a better solution.

A strong fortress is often breached from within.

Grosser's Travels contains the city of miracles, the divine kingdom of the Imaginary Dragon. Within the city of miracles, the Imaginary Dragon is sealed away in his time as an ancient god, a personality corrupted by the Chaos Sea.

After the fall of the "Imaginary Dragon" Angorweid, the arrangements he left in the City of Miracles continued to function until the Fifth Age. It's hard to say that this is unrelated to the negative personality of the Imaginary Dragon, which was corrupted by the Chaos Sea.

Since this negative personality might have the ability to influence Grosser's Travels.

If you want to find this book, you can just pray to this negative personality. The negative personality of the Imaginary Dragon, whose words are always known, might be able to hear you.

Even if it's sealed, prayers might still be effective. If the signal is weak, there's still the aura of the Chaos Sea... acting as a bridge.

"Shael, why are you so determined to find this book?"

Arrodes was somewhat puzzled.

"Logically, this book was made by the Imaginary Dragon. If I obtain this book, I will have the opportunity to obtain the extraordinary characteristics left behind by the Nightmare Dragon, Alshogod, after his death."

"This aligns well with the law of aggregation of extraordinary characteristics."

"I'm busy doing this," Xia Er said.

Without using some tricks, these two things would be really hard to find. Not to mention Arodes couldn't find them, even the ancient sun god of the Quasi-Old Age, during the Third Age, the Glorious Age, for such a long time, couldn't find them either.

"This could be dangerous."

Arrodes reminded him.

"But isn't that exciting?"

"We have already met in the distant future, and we are far from reaching the end."

Shael took out some extraordinary materials obtained from the elven treasury.

"Chael, we can come up with a safer way."

Arrodes clearly still didn't quite agree.

"Alright, Arrodes, enough joking around."

"I received intelligence that the book seals away a mad personality of the Imaginary Dragon, a personality that has been corrupted by the underground, a negative personality that may not have any extraordinary characteristics, a personality that has been sealed away. Why should I, a half-angel, be harmed by a single prayer?"

"Even if it might spread the underground contamination, with you here, your power can ensure the safety of the ritual."

Xia'er wasn't worried about this at all. Klein from the original timeline could walk into the city of miracles without any problems, but he would have problems even if he held a ceremony some distance away.

Moreover, he had consumed a small portion of the gray mist's creation at a previous tarot gathering.

This can offer some psychological comfort.

Shael did not use all the materials from the Elf Treasury; he also collected some extraordinary materials himself.

He had eaten the complete brain of an old, spiritual dragon; the rest of its body material was still preserved.

The corpse of a demigod-level mind dragon is already an extremely precious and extraordinary material.

The materials for the Dream Dragon's body are not in the Elf Treasury. If they were, the Elf King would have eaten them long ago. Only this ancient god is qualified to make the Dream Dragon bleed.

The blood of the Nth-level, the descendant of the Imaginary Dragon, is still present.

Although the blood of the descendants is not as pure as that of the gods, it is indeed from the direct descendants of the Imaginary Dragon. As an auxiliary material for ritual magic, it is also a high-grade item.

With a wave of his hand, Xia Er, as a semi-natural disaster, easily constructed a closed spiritual environment.

Following the orthodox ritual procedure, three candles are placed, and the ritual materials are prepared into corresponding essential oils, which are then dripped onto the candles to fully release the spiritual energy within the materials. Finally, the incantation is recited using the most standard Draconic language:

"O ancient king of the dragon race, you are the ruler of the world of mind and dreams, you are the fallen dragon king of the land of fantasy..."

After calming himself down, Xia Er performed the sacrificial ceremony. He didn't know if he would get a response, or if this echo from the spiritual world would create a ripple big enough.

What he wanted was actually very simple: to establish a slight mystical connection between himself and the things left behind by the Imaginary Dragon.

Only in this way will the search be meaningful.

Otherwise, are we supposed to rely on some vague and uncertain luck?

The golden divine blood began to evaporate, and the silent waiting made people feel irritable and depressed. Mysterious runes that did not belong to the real world began to overlap and extend in the void, causing people to be tainted with all sorts of thoughts and traces just by looking at them.

"Chael! Watch out!"

The "magic mirror" that Chael held in his hand lit up with a striking lightning bolt as a warning.

The vortex-shaped, twisted void appeared only for a moment before it showed signs of breaking. The spiritually constructed passage looked extremely unstable, and a frantic dragon roar came from within it!

Ugh~

Shael's spirit sensed a strong threat. The still air around him seemed to come alive, with howling winds and terrifying sonic booms that exploded in the void, engulfing the emerging runes and destroying the altar that was still providing spiritual energy.

The void twisted, as if something was writhing at the boundary between dream and reality. An invisible pollution began to spread. Xia'er held Arodes, the magic mirror lit up, and terrifying mental power directly severed the connection, destroying the mystical link.

The frenzied dragon roar became intermittent amidst the raging wind.

With a wave of his hand, the whirlwind that had destroyed the altar and the mysterious power began to swirl. He snapped his fingers and 'transformed into paper,' and these whirlwinds, imbued with unknown power, became sheets of paper, each stamped with mysterious runes, stacked together.

Each page is covered with intricate and mysterious symbols and patterns. Just one glance at them gives you a splitting headache. Some of the pages also have dark stains, as if they were spilled ink.

Shael created book covers made entirely of lightning to bind and seal the stacked pages together.

Arodes's power was also mixed in, forming a layer of isolation.

Among the remaining spiritual materials in the room, two pieces of the yellowish-brown dragon skin were cut off.

The demigod dragon's skin covered it, and the power of the calamity acted on the seal, causing the lightning's brilliance to gradually fade.
