Chapter 252: Consecutive Summons

Note this down. 9 rat hearts dipped with daffodil pollen can be used to replace the required babys heart in the ritual.

The Father taught slowly, 9 symbolizes the number of blood and desire. The daffodil pollen put on each rat heart shall not exceed of the heart size. Otherwise, the Silent Lady will reject the ritual.

The five witnesses had their eyes wide open, watching the Father demonstrate the miracle.

As for the rest, they took the hearing inhibition reagent inexpensive alteration products that would temporarily take away their hearing, and they would recover quickly after smelling p.o.o.p.

Every time before the ritual, the White Snake executives who werent qualified to learn the ritual, but had the hope of becoming a core member, would ingest the reagent.

They also understood that doing so was to protect their life.

They have encountered many examples of tragic deaths due to ritual failures in the past few years.

Without an orthodox heritage, they would never easily use the ritual that they heard.

But that being said, it was worth watching the process.

Those who could attend this meeting were higher-ups and even core members. For example, the tall and thin lurker, Bobby, was eligible to partic.i.p.ate in this meeting.

Ordinary members had no idea who they were serving at all. On the other hand, the core members wouldnt leak the Fathers secret who used the Rotten Man Church as a facade.

The reason was also simple.

They were all confident that they could become the Fathers apprentices.

Most of these core members werent Roseburgs natives. Instead, they were all disciples who had followed the Father to several cities.

They came here because the Rotten Man Church offered them a great price. Also, Roseburgs viscount had long known of their existence and let them grow further. This was also the fundamental reason why the White Snake could control the entire underground forces of Roseburg while being unnoticed.

The White Snake was just their lair.

After all, a lot of rare materials were required for the ritual. If they bought all the materials at the same time, the Silver Sire Church, which possessed Transcended knowledge, would sense something was wrong.

So they secretly a.s.sa.s.sinated the White Snakes original leader and utilized the underground gang forces as a facade to secretly collect ritual material under the disguise of logistics.

The Father seemed to do all of this to make money and for treasures.

His followers were here for learning learning the taboo knowledge.

But in this ritual, were using rats heart instead of a babys heart. Thats because the rats heart and the cats heel make an easy combination, which subst.i.tutes the hunters heel and pieces of the prey caught by it. Remember to cut it with a rusted ritual knife to reveal the element of the killing.

The Father said slowly and cut the cats heel into three pieces, forming a triangle.

This represents the lurkers stride and the death of the hunted. Then, we will have a resurrected frogs heart. First, soak it in Elixir and let it resume beating after an electric shock. The moment the heart stops again is when the ritual starts. This represents the moment when life succ.u.mbs to death.

The Father explained without any pause to his work.

His explanation was detailed, but the only thing he didnt mention was the portion and ratio.

This was the experience every ritualist relied on for their livelihood.

It was also the means to control their apprentice so that the apprentices wouldnt have any maligned thoughts to seek their life and knowledge.

This allowed the apprentices to work for him for many years as a.s.sistants as they grew up. Furthermore, once the apprentice learned enough rituals and acc.u.mulated enough experience, they would be driven away in time or even killed.

Is that all you need, Father? The brown-skinned tattooed woman asked with a smile, Dont hide your secrets.

Of course not, Greenscale. The Father glanced at her and replied nonchalantly.

Like the alias Father, the brown-skinned woman had a pseudonym Greenscale.

The reason for not using their real names was because they understood the danger of cursing someone via names. At the same time, they didnt have the money or prestige to ask the idol wizard to create a stand-in for themselves in redirecting the curses that target them away. On the other hand, having an alias will safeguard their lives against their teacher, students, and colleagues.

The Father added casually with a hoa.r.s.e voice, What we will be summoning this time is the Skeleton Crow of the Funeral Deity Faceless Poet. It can detect and harm the dead. So when you are about to steal corpses, you can summon one of them to keep watch for you.

This ritual is a simplified version. If you want to summon the Skeleton Crow, you have to use the Remains of the Silent Funeral as a guide. Otherwise, you may attract the Invisible Hunter or the Mist Lady. You may summon the two surprises successfully or fail because of insufficient power. The worst price can make your heart stop for 30 seconds if you fail.

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. Crying before the curse becomes active can purify the influence.

Of course, the Father had hidden something from them.

After Green Scale pointed this out, he honestly and carefully explained the details to them.

As the frogs heart stops beating, the Father put on a solemn expression while the rest became quiet in an instant.

He quickly lifted a human leg bone and placed it horizontally above the ritual area.

After that, a gray hue instantly plunged into his pupils.

After a short delay, the Father dripped with cold sweat on his forehead.

In front of everyone, the 9 hearts burned simultaneously, releasing dim gray flames. After they were all burnt out, the flames still didnt disappear. Instead, three black flames cl.u.s.tered began to burn the cats heels slowly.

At this moment, the sound of clattering sounded.

It was like putting a lot of Lego building blocks in a bag and shaking it hard.

But the apprentices soon realized that it was the sound of bones cras.h.i.+ng against each other.

In front of the Father, the broken bones of birds emerged from thin air. They collided to form a crow about half a meter high.

It had only bones all over its body and gray flames burning in its skull. However, it could still fly.

The Skeleton Crow flew for a circle in the air. When its eyes glanced over somewhere, it shrieked and flew over immediately.

If Citalopram witnessed this scene, she would immediately realize that this was the position where she had been staying for the longest time!

Then, a bloodstain appeared under the Skeleton Crow.

It lurched on the ground, avoiding everyone, and stopped in front of the shelves.

That was the trajectory of Citaloprams actions!

Sure enough, a ghost visited us.

The Father sneered and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, It isnt necessarily someone from the Crows Family. I suspect the Venerated Skeleton may be involved. Of course, theres the chance of being a stray undead.

We need to summon something more to make sure that we can protect ourselves.

Take a good look. Then, you can make consecutive summons while you are in fear.

I have taught you last time on the necessary elements to summon Bane. The conditions include any strong emotions of fear, sadness, pain, or regret from the summoner, a burned old photo alb.u.m, a kidney of a desperate male sharpshooter, and unused poison over ten years old. We have all of them in stock So go and get it.

The Father commanded slowly.

His narrow eyes were full of fear, but this fear didnt affect his words and thinking.

He learned the religions of many churches. Of course, he knew that it wasnt the Venerated Skeletons doings.

This is the trace of aHalf-dead Enchantress.

The only possibility is that Don Juan Geraint has discovered our existence, so he hired a Half-dead Enchantress to scout on us.

Luckily, my apprentices couldnt decipher these traces.

On the one hand, the Father needed them to do the grunt work for him, getting all the items required for the ritual.

On the other hand

The Betrayed Apprentice could also be used as the material of the Venerated Skeletons ritual and become a powerful Skeleton Guardian.

Unfortunately, the Skeleton Guardian couldnt do grunt work, and it would be the last time these apprentices would be helpful to him.
