"So, the Holy Corpse Crystal was created by Tunita?" Angel asked doubtfully, touching his chin.
Luigi shrugged: "Whether the Holy Corpse Crystal was created by Tunita, it's hard to say. Maybe other Crystal Eyes tribes have created Holy Corpse Crystals before, but this is a secret of the Crystal Eyes tribe and it is impossible for outsiders to know.
"
"The only thing that is certain is that Tunita must have done it by adding the Holy Corpse Crystal to the building materials of Crystal City."
"In any case, Tunita and the Holy Corpse Crystal are closely related." Angel muttered: "The Holy Corpse Crystal is a sensitive topic among the Jingmu tribe; and Tunita has an indissoluble bond with the Holy Corpse Crystal.
, so the secret may really be related to the Holy Corpse Crystal."
At this point, Angel suddenly thought of something Luigi mentioned before.
The crystal of the holy corpse is suspected to be related to the inheritance ability.
Those who receive the inheritance are usually young men from the Jingmu clan.
Lita should match the age of the inheritance.
Could it be that the power tower incident is related to inheritance? Is there any fatal danger in this inheritance?
Angel hesitated for a moment and expressed his speculation.
After Luigi heard this, he fell into a trance... In other words, Gleipnir, who was far away on the other side, fell into silence. After a while, he replied through Luigi's mouth: "Your speculation,
It’s not far from the secret I knew.”
"Is it really related to inheritance?"
Angel frowned and was about to continue asking, but at this moment, a new picture suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room that had been in the "unchanged" state.
Everyone's thoughts were immediately attracted by the unusual movements in the live broadcast.
All the patrolling guards in the ringed fort stopped, walked to the railings, and made a strange gesture in a certain direction at the same time.
The middle finger and thumb touch, and the other three fingers stand up, a bit like a "peacock head". However, it is a "peacock head" gesture with both hands at the same time, and the "peacock mouth" is connected to the left and right, just like a set of middle fingers.
The hand gesture of two.
"The uniform gestures, is this some kind of ritual?" Angel guessed that this might be a signal for the ceremony to proceed.
However, Luigi on the side shook his head: "It should have nothing to do with the ceremony. This gesture is called a 'hand salute'. It is similar to the human breast care ceremony and is a basic etiquette for superiors."
As he spoke, Luigi pointed somewhere on the screen: "Look, there's someone here."
The place Luigi pointed to was a platform on the second floor of the Ring Castle. A crystal-eyed clan who turned the crystal shell into a floating chair slowly floated to the platform and also floated into the live broadcast screen.
And the "hand salutes" that all the guards made before were pointed in the direction of this person.
There is no doubt that this person should be the so-called "superior person" in Luigi's mouth. At least, in the eyes of the guards of the Jingmu clan, this person is a superior person.
His appearance...in Angel's opinion, was not much different from other people's, except that the pupil in his single eye was a somewhat turbid yellow, like an elderly man.
As for what he was wearing, it was completely different from the obvious crystal armor of the guards around him. It was a very delicate robe. Although the overall color was plain, it had very complicated lace.
"Who is he?" Luigi murmured in confusion.
However, the next second, Luigi's confused eyes turned wise: "He is Cassata, an elder of the Crystal Eyes tribe."
No need to guess, he knew that Cassata's name was told to him by Gleipnir.
As for why Graipnir knew about Cassata... it's simple. Fada is near Graipnir. If you don't know her, just ask her directly.
"According to Farda, Cassata was promoted to elder six hundred years ago, but he has been in the forbidden area for many years and rarely appears in front of the public." Luigi paused and added: "Fada was very confused.
, why did Gleipnir suddenly describe the appearance of Cassata."
Don't worry about Farda's doubts. Farda is different from them. They can leave at any time, but Farda has lived in Crystal City for a long time and knowing too much is definitely not a good thing for her.
However, Fada's description of Cassata made Gleipnir feel that... the "jigsaw puzzle" was here.
Kasata is in the forbidden area all year round, and the inheritance of the Jingmu clan is also in the forbidden area.
The secret behind the power tower is most likely related to the forbidden area.
Cassata suddenly appeared in the outside world and came to a certain "ceremony", which was highly consistent with what Fada had vaguely revealed before.
It is completely doubtful that Cassata may be the core figure in the "secret", or even the mastermind!
And the following ceremony is very likely to reveal a hidden corner!
In the live broadcast, Cassata came to the second-floor platform of the ring fort. He did not look at the other people, but silently stared at the crystal dust on the bottom floor that was constantly pouring out of the mirror.
The spurting crystal dust has now covered the entire bottom layer of the ring fort.
From the live broadcast, you can't see anything at all, and you can't see Jingchen's movements.
Cassata looked at the sea of fog condensed with crystal dust below, a faint smile appeared on his face, his mouth opened slightly, as if he was muttering something.
Because the distance was too far, Angel saw him talking, but he didn't know what he was talking about. As for the lip reading... Angel couldn't decipher it either. Kasata seemed to be talking about the Jingmu tribe themselves.
language.
Angel could only look at Luigi, who also looked confused, and obviously did not understand Cassata's words. But Luigi was not alone. Behind him stood Grapnir, and Grapnir
Next to you stood Fada again.
Gleipnir simulated Cassata's lip shape and asked Farda to recognize it.
Fada wasn't very good at lip reading, so she didn't interpret all of Cassata's words, but she still guessed a few scattered words through repeated simulations——
"...We're going to meet...old friends."
From the literal meaning, Cassata's words can be understood as: old friends reunited.
But, where is the old friend? Is it in the crystal dust... Angel still remembers that the crystal dust that first spewed out tried to condense the outline of a human figure. Could this human outline be Cassata's old friend?
?
But if the human silhouette is Cassata's old friend, why did he meet him in this way?
Moreover, the guards said before that a certain ceremony was being held in the ring fort.
If it is really a ritual, and the result of the ritual is - Cassata's old friend appears.
In other words, the result of the ceremony is "great transformation into a living person".
There are only three rituals that Angel can think of that can have this result: the teleportation ritual, the summoning ritual, and the descending ritual.
The teleportation ritual, as the name suggests, is to teleport old friends of Cassata back from a distant place. This possibility is low, because the teleportation ritual will inevitably produce spatial fluctuations, and the spatial fluctuations will definitely affect the quality of the live broadcast picture transmission. Nowadays, the live broadcast picture
Stable means no spatial fluctuations.
The summoning ritual is commonly used by summoning wizards to summon creatures from other worlds. The summoning ritual requires the use of special summoning objects, or blood, or sacrifices, or contracts. At present, there is no obvious
traces of summons.
The Advent Ceremony is a very partial ritual. It is a forbidden area in the Southern Territory and is explicitly prohibited from being performed by extremist sects. The major wizarding organizations did not refute it because this ritual is often associated with "gods".
Wizards only pursue the truth and do not believe in God.
All the gods with traces of activities in the Southern Territory are either the Abyss Evil God, the Savage God, or the Outer God of the Druna Plane... In short, there are no good gods. The reason why they appear in the Southern Territory is not
Coveting the world means coveting the law of energy.
The humans or fallen wizards who are tempted by them will extend the tentacles of the gods to the southern region through the advent ceremony. For this reason, the advent ceremony is often linked to "evil" and "degeneration".
Will Cassata use the advent ritual here? Angel thinks it is unlikely. After all, now that all the races in the Southern Region are gathering in Crystal City, do the Crystal Eyes have the courage to offend all the major races?
Although the Jingmu tribe is not weak in the White Sun Mirror Domain, it is still far behind top races like the Mirror Dragon.
There was more than one Mirror Dragon participating in the party. The Jingmu Clan would never dare to do anything crazy at this time.
From this perspective, it seems more like a summoning ceremony?
While Angel was guessing silently in his mind, Cassata suddenly took out a crystal scepter. Under the watchful eyes of all the guards, he raised the scepter high.
The guards closed their eyes one after another and muttered something.
Each guard's words were different, and now he didn't even have the chance to read their lips. After all, there were hundreds of guards at the scene, and even if Gleipnir could remember everyone's lips, he wouldn't have time to read them.
Fada will interpret them one by one.
As the guards chanted, it could be clearly seen that the surging sea of crystal dust and mist at the bottom began to shrink rapidly.
It was like an inflated water balloon being forcibly pressed flat.
Angel couldn't analyze why this happened just from the live broadcast.
However, Laplace on the side suddenly said: "There is a force involved in this 'ritual'."
Angel looked in surprise: "Can you feel it?"
Although Laplace has mastered the mirror, the mirror is in the mezzanine space after all. Can she perceive the energy fluctuations in reality in the mezzanine space? Could it be that this energy is mixed with the nature of space?
Laplace shook his head: "I didn't sense it from the mirror, but I sensed the Crystal City under my feet. At that moment, there was a slight transfer of energy veins."
In other words, Laplace did not sense the energy fluctuations from the Ring Castle. Instead, he directly sensed the energy veins of the entire Crystal City!
This... Angel has nothing to say, he is indeed a boss.
You can't learn from them, you can't compare them.
After sighing with emotion, Angel revisited Laplace's words: "So, the energy of the ring fort ceremony comes from the Crystal City itself?"
Laplace nodded.
How does Crystal City provide the energy needed for the ceremony? Angel doesn't know the answer to this question.
But he knew that Crystal City contained the Holy Corpse Crystal, and the Holy Corpse Crystal was the core clue of all secrets... This ceremony seemed to be connected to the Holy Corpse Crystal.
One link after another, and one after another. All the clues point to one place. It's no wonder that Gleipnir will watch this live broadcast remotely.
The picture continues, and the crystal dust continues to shrink. Now, the crystal dust has condensed into a human-shaped outline.
This humanoid outline is almost exactly the same as what Angel first saw, but now the outline is more solid, and his facial features can even be seen.
He has one eye, a pointed nose, thin lips, long ears like an elf, one of which has a golden earring, and a head of thick transparent crystal hair.
This is exactly what the Jingmu clan looks like.
Is he an old friend of Cassata?
After another half minute, when all the crystal dust was absorbed by the newly appeared Jingmu tribesman, he slowly opened his eyes.
His eyes were slightly confused, and he looked around, as if he still didn't realize where he was.
It wasn't until he raised his head and saw Cassata that his eyes gradually recovered from being dazed and distracted.
He seemed to recognize Cassata, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Her thin lips opened slightly and she said a word.
Angel still didn't understand this lip reading. He glanced at Luigi, who gave him a "reassuring" gesture, which meant that Gleipnir had already started lip reading with Fada.
"test".
When Fada was interpreting the lip language, there were some changes in the live broadcast screen.
Cassata did not chat with the newly-appeared Jing-eyed tribesman, but gently waved his sleeves, causing the other party to fall into the oval mirror beneath him.
When the Jingmu tribesman disappeared completely, Cassata roared loudly.
As he shouted, all the guards from the Jingmu clan who had closed their eyes before and chanted opened their eyes one after another.
Cassata waved his sleeves again, probably saying something like "the ceremony is over", and then turned and left the ring fort.
The guards first looked at each other, and then looked at the mirror on the bottom floor in unison. When they saw that there was no crystal dust near the mirror, a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes.
It can be seen from their expressions that they have not seen the new Jingmu tribe members who appeared before, and they do not know what the final result of the ceremony will be.
Although they were participants in the ceremony, they did not know the specific content of the ceremony, which was consistent with what the guard said before.
At this point, both Cassata and the Jingmu tribesman condensed by crystal dust have disappeared, which means that the live broadcast has come to an end.
Angel and Laplace looked at each other.
There was no need to discuss, they acted at the same time, Laplace destroyed the mirror in the mezzanine space, and Angel wiped out the illusion node.
Completing all this not only means the end of the live broadcast, but also means that all previous traces have been destroyed, and no one will find out that they have peeked at the ceremony in the ring fort.
Although the live broadcast has been closed, the aftermath is not over yet.
Two minutes later, Luigi looked up and said: "Fada has read the meaning of that lip reading."
