Chapter VIII Oath Ceremony
Grint took the mirror blankly and looked at it from various angles for a long time without seeing anything.
Seeing that Grint was successfully deceived, Lanaya unceremoniously left someone aside to study other things.
In addition to the mirror, the bag mainly contains some small flasks containing colored gases, probably smoke bombs, some cosmetics made by the supernatural world, a map of the continent, and... a bracelet?
Ranaya wasn't sure if it was a bracelet, but the shape was rather strange: the main body was half-enclosed, and the silver hollow flower decoration spread over half of the back of the hand, and it seemed that it could only be worn on the right hand.
After putting it on, the flow of psychic energy in her right hand was fixed. With a thought, Lanaya saw a layer of flower-shaped psychic energy sheets on the back of her hand quickly forming, spinning out, piercing the wall and disappearing.
Lanaya had never seen such a thing before. At this moment, she almost instantly thought of the knowledge about triggers that Grint had just popularized to her. Could this be a trigger?
I really can’t even think about it. In the world where Lanaya was originally, it was impossible to carry too many expendable weapons such as arrows and flying blades on the body, but this bracelet was equivalent to making weapons instantly!
Lanaya almost without hesitation pushed the bracelet-shaped trigger into Glint's hand, and the trigger belonged to Glint. Grint immediately became happy and jumped up, his fisted hand almost
It can penetrate the ceiling. For the holy magician who has no attack skills in the early stage, having an offensive trigger suitable for him will be even more powerful!
The loot has been counted, and Lanaya plans for the two of them to prepare to leave tomorrow, but before that, her understanding of the world is still too weak. The books on the four-story bookshelf are all her recent works.
Food to be conquered.
Inside the Hidden Temple, there was no way of knowing the change of day and night. I don’t know what time it was in the middle of the night, nor how many times it was, but Lanaya came to the bookshelf and took out a thick hard-cover book.
The cover of the book was completely covered by dust. Lanaya was stunned for a moment, and then slowly raised her head. The bookshelf suddenly became so high...
Brushing away the dust on it, she looked at it as if what she held in her hands was not a worn-out book but a priceless treasure.
"Space magic..." She suddenly realized. It turns out that there is more than just natural magic in this world. It would be great if a teleportation array could be summoned to achieve teleportation in space, she thought.
She concentrated her mind and recited the incantation softly, and sure enough, the formation on the ground gradually emerged. She stood up and closed her eyes.
"Great God of Space, take me to the maple forest outside the yard."
For a long time, she didn't hear the whisper of the leaves among the treetops, nor smell the refreshing breeze. She stood in a patch of light, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the same scene as before.
"Liar." The aroma of books around her seemed to her like shackles that were imprisoning her. She stamped on the magic circle and broke through it, but found that her feet were trapped by the magic circle, and it was heavy.
He couldn't lift even half a step. Among the scattered light spots, the girl's crystal tears were mixed in.
She didn't know how long she struggled, but the magic circle finally disappeared, as if it had never existed. Still crying, she rushed out of the room with the book.
"Grandpa Bausch, the magic book is a lie."
"Which magic book is it? Grandpa will help you teach it a lesson."
She handed over the worn-out magic book. Bausch frowned, pushed up his reading glasses, picked up the pipe on the side and knocked hard on the cover of the book three times. While knocking, he said: "You know
I don’t know, you deceived the most powerful magician in the future? Will you dare to do it again next time?”
The book suddenly stood up in the air, shaking and shaking its head.
She knew that this was a trick played by Baosh to make her happy, but she couldn't be happy, and she still had tears on her face.
"The magic book is deceptive..."
"The magic book is a big liar...if you don't take me to the maple forest..."
"big liar……"
“Liar!!!”
"Lanaya!!!"
……Um?
"Lanaya, get up quickly! The oath-taking ceremony is about to begin!"
Oath-taking ceremony?
Done! Overslept!
He hurriedly washed and changed his clothes, skipping breakfast, and followed Grint quickly to the swearing-in hall.
Fortunately, she arrived in time. Standing in the back row of the crowd, Ranaya's head was still feeling dizzy. She frowned and rubbed her temples. She actually dreamed about her childhood experience last night.
People often say that what you think about every day and what you dream about at night has a certain truth to this saying. I have to admit that Lanaya still prefers to stay in the Violet Archives, which is like home, than in this place.
She is homesick.
The oath-taking ceremony is the most important life node for all new members of the Hidden Temple. Lanaya also knows this. She tries hard to stay awake, but the speaker's words are like a hypnotic spell.
Her head began to fall forward uncontrollably.
"First of all, congratulations to you, my new friends. Your ability to step onto the steps of the Hidden Temple, into this sacred hall, and to stand here is the best proof of your outstanding strength..."
"I believe that when you come here, you must all be aware. Joining the Hidden Temple means pursuing justice and taking eternal revenge against evil. From now on, you will face everything you have never faced before...
"
…
The black-haired boy in front suddenly felt something hit his back. Although the force was very small, he was so shocked that he temporarily stopped breathing.
Immediately afterwards, he felt something was wrong. It seemed to be a person's head, and the hair seemed to be quite long. A few strands sneaked into his collar, making his neck itchy, and the fragrance was also very good...
…
female?!
His whole neck was frozen, so that when he turned around he looked like a robot that had been rusted for many years.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally turned his head to a suitable angle and saw half of the girl's pretty face. He was startled, pursed his lips and thought for a while, then reached out and patted her arm: "Hi."
She raised her head suddenly, and her eyes, which were covered with a layer of fog, opened completely at the same time and blinked several times quickly.
"I'm sorry!" Lanaya quickly straightened her body, lowered her head and whispered.
The black-haired boy opened his mouth, but hesitated. His eyes wandered around half of the field like a chaotic line, and he turned his head back by the way.
Lanaya regained her energy in an instant, her fatigue disappeared, and she could see everything a hundred times more clearly than before. Then she saw Grint next to her, who was suppressing a smile and looking at him with unclear eyes.
she.
"Please put your right hands together and put them on your chest..."
Lanaya looked a little uncomfortable when Grint looked at her like this. She turned back, took one last look at the back of the black-haired boy, then turned her eyes to the front, and did as the speaker said, and then,
The words of the oath echoed throughout the hall.
"The Hidden Temple,
I will serve this with all my heart.
Pursuing justice,
Take evil as eternal revenge.
eye of the temple,
Please witness my oath,
Please let your loyal followers
Defend the temple forever,
never betray,
Never break my oath...
…the glory of the temple.”
"Please stretch out your right hand, and the Eye of the Temple will leave a mark on the back of your hand. When you pray sincerely, the Eye of the Temple will be closest to your heart."
Lanaya stretched out her right hand and saw the huge Eye of the Temple symbol engraved on the wall directly in front of her, emitting a beam of warm light on the back of her hand. The same pattern of the Eye of the Temple gradually appeared on the back of her hand, and it glowed slightly.
It glowed with light purple light and disappeared after a while, as if nothing happened.
"Today's oath-taking ceremony ends here. From now on, the Hidden Temple will protect you."
After leaving the scene, Lanaya began to recall the dream last night. The trap she used to trap the enemy was learned by chance at that time. The book was actually sealed in the secret room of the Violet Archives.
An ancient book on space magic. In order to let more people know about the existence of space magic, she copied every page and every line of the book almost day and night, but never thought that it would be burned by a fire.
As for the most powerful magician in the future... Lanaya looks at herself today, this has nothing to do with magic.
In the past, she could indeed cast the simplest elemental magic, but her power was limited to using small fire balls to keep warm, and using small water bombs to wash hands... But it was still much more powerful than most ordinary people who couldn't even condense the elements.
.
The strange thing is that after coming to the supernatural world, Lanaya found that she could no longer condense these elements, as if she had never learned how to condense them.
…
"What? To the Hagoral Desert?" Grint pointed at the mission information Lanaya showed her, eyes wide open in disbelief, "It is located on the west coast of the Violet Continent. According to legend, no one has gone there.
Can you get out of the Hagoral Desert?"
"What kind of place is that?" At the same time, Lanaya also thought about it carefully in her mind. Yesterday, she briefly read the books about most areas on the Violet Continent, including the Hagoral Desert.
It seems to have been mentioned in one stroke. It seems that people in the supernatural world have not yet done enough research on that area.
However, there is a long introduction to the item "Psychic Crystal" brought back by the mission requirements. It is a solid crystal made of highly compressed psychic energy, which can be used to activate high-level spells and even forbidden spells. Psychic energy
Crystals can be made artificially, but the difficulty and cost are quite high. It is said that naturally formed psychic crystals can only be found in the Hagoral Desert, but it seems to be a dangerous place.
"How do I know if I've never been there?" Grint looked embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment and said, "No, we'd better not go to this place. You can give up the mission. This is the ultimate mission.
