Chapter 1587 Ceremony ends
As time passed, the old duke's chanting prayer began to gradually decline, and the power generated by the prayer was also rapidly decreasing. Under the influence of this declining state, the temporary symbionts connected by the same blood quickly weakened and disappeared, and everyone returned to the individual state.
However, except for Sylvia who easily adapted to this transformation from symbiosis to individual, no one else got rid of the false and powerful feeling caused by that symbiosis state. Each of his spiritual consciousness fell into a sense of extreme loss. Even the Belmont family whose bodies were almost completely transformed into a demonic dragon began to have a closed consciousness, allowing blood instinct to replace the signs of thinking.
This mental loss was not beyond the normal circumstances of the ritual ceremony. The old duke took out a palm-sized bone, put it to his mouth, and then blew it hard into the round hole in the middle of the bone.
Only a very clear sound of the abyss demon dragon was heard from the other end of the bone round hole and entered everyone on the platform. Those who were still immersed in an inexplicable sense of loss all woke up from that state of loss and their minds became clear. The bloodline mutants also got rid of the influence of bloodline instinct and began to concentrate on controlling the out-of-control bloodline in their bodies, and eliminated the mutated forms on their bodies as much as possible.
Just as the ceremony on the ritual platform had ended, the old duke began to check the tribe's situation one by one and clean up the mess, the transformation ceremony was also concluded in the lava lake below the castle.
The runes surrounding the Abyss Demon Dragon, containing extraordinary power, quickly merged into one at the moment the ritual platform ceremony ended, and then gathered on the Abyss Demon Dragon clone controlled by Sylvia, turned into a rune mark, and were engraved on the forehead of the Abyss Demon Dragon, which merged with the scale patterns on the forehead.
Sylvia, sitting on the platform seat, could clearly sense all the conditions of the Abyss Dragon Clan below. She could confirm that the rune mark on her forehead should be a contract mark, and its content was mainly to protect the Belmont family. The protection period was not very long, only ten years. It should be a protection measure set to avoid the turmoil of the family's migration from the volcano to the new settlement.
Although it is very simple to strip away this contract mark with Sylvia's ability and state, because the contract parties to this contract mark are the old duke representing the Belmont family and Ambot Belmont, but Ambot Belmont's spiritual consciousness has disappeared, and replaced by Sylvia's spiritual consciousness clone. In this way, the binding force of the contract can be said to have completely disappeared. As long as Sylvia is willing, she does not need to follow the content of the contract and directly disperse the contract mark.
However, Sylvia did not do that, because leaving a contract mark and allowing herself to continue to disguise herself as Ambot Belmont, the ultimate benefits far outweigh the disadvantages.
On the surface, the contract imprint is a constraint on the abyss demon dragon, but in fact it also has the effect of eliminating world rejection.
Just now, Sylvia could clearly feel that this world had a strong repulsive force on her abyss demon dragon clone. This repulsive force would not only limit the power of the abyss demon dragon clone to the greatest extent, but could even throw the abyss demon dragon clone out of this world and back into the abyss at an unknown moment.
However, the moment the contract imprint was engraved on the body of the Abyss Demon Dragon, the powerful repulsive force also disappeared. Sylvia could clearly feel that the Abyss Demon Dragon clone was integrating into this world through the contract imprint.
Sylvia was both surprised and curious about this, because a contract imprint could eliminate such a powerful world rejection effect by just one contract, which means that this contract imprint is definitely not a simple contract. At least the old duke on the other side of the contract must have hidden another layer of identity. This layer of identity is closely related to the power of the world, and the only connection she can think of is the Kingdom of Teresa.
Eliminating world rejection and allowing the Abyss Demon Dragon clone to exert full power in this world is just the biggest advantage of the contract imprint, and its disadvantage is that it needs to live and die with the Belmont family during the period of contract execution.
If it were before, this situation of coexistence and death might have caused the Abyss Demon Dragon clone to be dragged down, and even indirectly transferred all kinds of troubles from the Belmont family to the original body of Sylvia. Especially during the period when the Belmont family moved to the new settlement, they would likely be besieged by the hostile forces of the Belmont family.
In the past, these hostile forces could not find the Belmont family's territory, so they naturally could not effectively attack the Belmont family. Now the new settlement of the Belmont family is definitely not as hidden as the crater now. It is a matter of time before it can be found. Moreover, the protective power of the new settlement has not been completed. At that time, these hostile forces will definitely not miss this good opportunity to start.
However, the danger of this new settlement being besieged is basically gone after Leo injured the god Justice with a black lightning gun. Although Leo is not a member of the Belmont family and may not attack the Belmont family in the future, for those who do not understand the situation, the black lightning gun is created and projected by the Belmongo family. In other words, the person who injured the god Justice is the hidden trump card of the Belmont family. A powerful trump card is enough to intimidate those who have made ill-thinking plans against the Belmont family and let the Belmont family safely spend the ten-year migration period, provided that the Belmont family does not die and provoke the church of true gods such as the Church of Justice.
After the contract imprint was completed, Sylvia no longer actively controlled the clone of the Abyss Demon Dragon. The abyss Demon Dragon, which could almost cover the entire Belmont Castle, also began to slowly shrink its body and wrapped its body with huge wings until its entire body became an egg-like shape of about two people, and began to float slowly, and finally floated to the surface of the lava lake. Under the promotion of the lava flow, it moved to the shore.
After fusing several abyss demon dragons' bloodlines and their origins, the adult abyss demon dragon that was forcibly ripened was in a state of severe indigestion and had to fall into a dormant state. It would be difficult to digest the excess bloodlines and original power in the body, at least for less than one or two years.
Although Sylvia can try to transfer the bloodline and original power of the Abyss Demon Dragon clone into her body, doing so will do more harm than good for her. What she needs now is not the improvement of her bloodline, but the strengthening of her control.
During the ritual ceremony, although she indirectly improved her mental control through the symbiosis state, the effect of this improvement is much smaller than that she and Leo expected. Fortunately, she has already clarified the idea of improving mental control in the symbiosis state and found a suitable method. I believe that she will be able to make up for this shortcoming.
On the ritual platform, the castle's guardian secret power is gradually fading, but because the various runes that produce guardian secret power in the castle have been destroyed under the impact of the world's power, the remaining guardian secret power cannot form an internal circulation, and can only be scattered on the mysterious runes on the outer wall of the castle, so that the castle can continue to maintain a solid state and will not fall apart due to the destruction of internal buildings.
However, it is precisely because a large number of runes containing extraordinary power were destroyed that the extraordinary power that mediates temperature in the castle also disappeared, and the hot gas emitted from the lava began to penetrate into the castle, turning the entire Belmont Castle into a stove.
Fortunately, everyone in the castle has the bloodline of the Abyss Demon Dragon, and they don’t feel too uncomfortable with this level of high temperature. The only problem is that their clothes, shoes and socks do not have any extraordinary protection. Under this high temperature, they either dry and burn, or they melt directly.
The direct members on the platform successively controlled their increased bloodline power and restored their normal ability to move. One by one, under the command of Count Belmont, they began to go to the ruins of various areas of the castle to find survivors, and clean up valuable things as much as possible.
Obviously, they did not expect that the castle would encounter such serious damage. In the various dangerous situations they calculated in advance, the castle's guardian secret power was enough to support the ceremony until the ceremony was finally completed. Even if they encountered a god like justice, it would be impossible to break the protection of the guardian secret power and impact the building facilities in the castle.
The culprit of all this damage was actually Leo. Leo's black thunder gun tore off the tight protection of the guardian secret from the relatively weak guardian secret power, allowing the world power gathered around the castle to penetrate into the castle, and formed an energy storm to destroy the entire building facilities inside the castle.
However, even though Leo was the culprit in all this bad state, no one dared to accuse him. Even the old Duke believed that Leo's approach was actually to save them, because they were not absolutely sure that the guardian secret power of the castle could really block the punishment of justice under the impact of the thunder beam of light. Once it was not blocked, then the people in the castle might have died in the beam of light, so naturally there was no question of the wrong way to accuse Leo.
More importantly, Leo, who can hurt the gods and justice, has been regarded as one of the Belmont family's umbrellas, including the old duke. All the Belmont family's direct lineages are regarded as one of the Belmont family's protective umbrellas, and they are extremely important protective umbrellas. No matter how stupid people are, they will not destroy their protective umbrellas, let alone these direct line members who have received various elite education.
Also, the old duke and the others had already planned to give up the castle that would be swallowed by a volcanic eruption soon after the ceremony. At that time, they would also need to spend a lot of energy and time to destroy the various facilities in the castle. Now the power of the world has done this for them, and it is completed incredibly perfectly, thousands of times better than doing it by themselves, so they naturally would not have any complaints or accusations.
The only regret they felt now was that there were a large number of valuable items in the destroyed building facilities that had not had time to transfer to other places. Now that these building facilities were destroyed, the items in the building or related to the building were naturally destroyed. After a search, they finally found that they could still be used, or the overall intact useful items were added to less than fifty pieces. As for the books that were extremely fragile, they were wiped out. Although the books were also copied elsewhere, compared with the things recorded in the books, the value of the books themselves was also an amazing asset.
While the Count Belmont was commanding the tribe to clear the ruins, Leo came to the old duke and picked up the crystal that could have a slight impact on the throne of the stone, and asked: "Can you tell me the origin of this thing? Lord Duke."
The old duke was a little puzzled why Leo was interested in this crystal, but he still quickly answered: "This crystal is called Kuta Crystal, also known as the Harmonic Crystal. It was discovered by an ore scholar named Kuta. The function of the crystal is very simple, which is to harmonize and smooth the abnormal fluctuations of the soul and spirit. Usually this crystal is used in the theater performances of the Grand Theater to help the actors on the stage harmonize the spirit of the viewer. This crystal is mainly distributed in the mountains of the Central Kingdom area, with almost no other place, and the number of minerals is not large, and the output is naturally very small. If Mr. Leo, if you are interested in this thing, I will send someone to purchase it on your behalf."
Leo shook his head when he heard this, rejected the Duke's offer to purchase, and then continued to ask about the specific location of this crystal ore.
However, the old duke did not give the answer he wanted. It was not that the old duke was unwilling to provide this information, but because the old duke himself did not know where the crystal mine was, because the lords in the central kingdom area who mastered the crystal mine all had outstanding strength and had captured various resources in their territory tightly. It was difficult for anyone to get useful information from it. Moreover, the Belmont family had not had a strong influence in the central kingdom area, and they did not send people to infiltrate there, so the collection of various intelligence information there was also very ordinary.
Seeing that he could not get the exact answer from the old duke, Leo did not show any dissatisfaction. In fact, he was already satisfied until the crystal came from there, its name, and its function. He just went to the Central Kingdom area to investigate it himself. If necessary, it would not be a problem to use some extraordinary means.
