Chapter 3845 Maladaku
There are a total of five undercurrent dogs in the cellar, and they are all asleep now.
Angel also did not kill him. The reason was the same as what Gleipnir thought. There is a fundamental difference between rituals that involve blood and those that do not.
Moreover, the three prerequisites for ritual coordinates are: lightless place, enclosed space, and traces of life.
The reason why this cellar can become a ritual location is precisely because it meets these three conditions at the same time. The so-called "traces of life" refer to this group of undercurrent dogs.
Angel was very suspicious that killing this group of undercurrent dogs might lead to the lack of prerequisites for the ceremony, causing problems in the final ceremony.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he just used illusions to suppress their thoughts and put them into a drowsy state.
Without the attacks of the undercurrent dogs, the cellar was obviously much quieter.
Apart from the sound of rustling water, there was almost no noise.
Angel and Gleipnir dragged the Undercurrent Dog to the compartment on the left, which was the compartment where the Undercurrent Dog first lived.
As soon as I entered this compartment, I smelled a strong smell of water vapor before I even looked at the surrounding environment.
The air is also significantly more humid than outside.
Gleipnir lowered his head and through the intracranial projection, he could clearly see that the black mud was covered with water.
The source of the water is a small pool in the corner of the compartment.
According to Angel's previous statement, this pool is connected to a shallow underground waterway, and the Undercurrent Dog emerged from here.
Gleipnir walked to the edge of the pool and looked around, and found that there were obvious brickwork marks on the edge of the pool. From these marks, it can be inferred that this small pool was not naturally formed.
Most likely it was dug by someone who lived here before.
"Are there any undercurrent dogs in the waterway under the pool?" Gleipnir asked curiously.
Angel controlled the magic hand and dragged the undercurrent dog to the "den" in the corner. He walked to the pool and looked down like Gleipnir.
After a while, Angel said: "There are quite a variety of creatures in the shallow waters connected by this pool."
There are not only undercurrent dogs, but also some other creatures.
Moreover, these creatures are not only "fish", but also some mutated water animals.
For example, Angel saw some unknown water animals that looked like cows, but were larger than cows...
Of course there are undercurrent dogs, but there are no "thin dog" style undercurrent dogs like the one they encountered today.
Moreover, Angel also discovered that the "bull monster" was hunting the undercurrent dogs in the waters.
"Don't worry, the passage under the pool is extremely narrow. Only these thin dogs can get in. Other undercurrent dogs can't even pass through the gap at the entrance."
Angel guessed that the five undercurrent dogs in the cellar came to the cellar firstly because they were attracted by the aura of "dog fighting" on the surface, and secondly to avoid those "bull monsters".
"Bull monster?" Gleipnir was stunned.
Angel nodded and sent the image of the bull monster into Gleipnir's skull.
Gleipnir glanced at it and didn't recognize it: "It does look a bit like a cow."
However, normal cows will not eat dogs, but this guy in the water swallowed the undercurrent dog in three or five mouthfuls... The most important thing is that there are not just one or two bull monsters, but a large group.
"Their teeth feel sharper than those of undercurrent dogs, and their bite force is also very strong." Gleipnir said: "They can eat an undercurrent dog in three to five bites, so it is estimated that they can only eat two or three more bites of a human."
"If so many bull monsters break through the water barrier and enter the city. Not to mention the surface, if they come to the underground city, it will probably be a terrible disaster..."
When Graipnir sighed, Angel stared at her with a strange look, and said in a sincere tone: "Fortunately you are not Gabriel."
If Gabriel said these words, it must have come true.
However, Gleipnir's worries are not without purpose. The destructive power of these bull monsters is indeed very strong, and they have hoofs and horns, and their bell-like eyes have not degenerated. You can tell at a glance that they are not pure water beasts.
, must be amphibious.
It may not be as unscrupulous as it is underwater, but it definitely shouldn't be underestimated.
However, Angel personally feels that with the abilities of the magicians in Modern City, they should be able to find traces of the bull monster. After all, although they live underground, they are all in shallow waters, and the possibility of being discovered is
Very big.
Since it has been discovered but has not been dealt with yet, there is a high probability that there is no need to worry about the bull monster destroying it.
"Anyway, the monsters in the underground water area can't affect us, so don't worry about it." That's what Angel said, but he still snapped his fingers, and there were nightmare nodes near the small pool.
Even if a water beast discovers this place, it will still be trapped.
After doing all this, Angel and Gleipnir left this compartment and came to another adjacent compartment.
This compartment was even more cramped, and half of it had collapsed. The ground was covered with broken stones.
Angel looked at it "deeply" from a God's perspective, and after confirming that there was nothing worth paying attention to, he and Gleipnir walked to the right cubicle.
This is where their ceremony was officially held.
The door to the right compartment was also a bit rotten. With a slight push, a large amount of wood ash fell out, and even the door panel fell off.
The space behind the door is actually very small.
Maybe it's just over twenty square meters, like the size of a bedroom.
But compared to the previous two compartments, this one can already be called "spacious".
Just like the previous compartment, there was nothing on the ground except dust and rocks. This was a good thing for them, after all, they also needed to clean the surrounding area in preparation for the ceremony.
There is nothing here, so cleaning it is relatively simple.
Angel controlled the power of "Celestial Change", and the water and wind merged. In just a moment, the surrounding area became extremely clean.
After making sure it was clean, traces of the hidden magic hands began to appear. Whether it was the "lamps" required for the ceremony or various "food sacrifices", Angel placed them all in the corner of the room.
The next step is to arrange the ritual.
"Leave it to me to arrange the rituals," Gleipnir said.
"Although the three rumors did not mention anything related to the details of the ceremony, there is a high probability that there is no need for a ritual formation or a ritual altar."
"But for the sake of caution, it is better to arrange a general formation and a general altar, which is more formal."
As for what universal formations and universal altars should be used?
Gleipnir already knew it in his mind: "According to the prayer rumors, we will start reciting the "Hymn of Praise to Maladaku" at 2:20 in the morning."
"This prayer is the key to the ceremony. Therefore, before I came here, I have been searching for the origin of this "Hymn of Praise to Maradaku"."
Angel: "Did you find out?"
Gleipnir shook his head: "I have not found the original text of this prayer poem. However, I have found what "Maladaku" means."
"Maladaku" discovered two meanings during Gleipnir's research.
One of them refers to a country in an epic story, and the country's name is "Maradaku".
The other refers to the first king of this country.
To put it bluntly, the first king named this country after himself.
Although Gleipnir has not found the corresponding reality of Maladaku, stories about this country have been performed in fairy tales, novels, and stage plays.
This kind of performance usually starts like this: "According to legend, in the distant past, there was a country called Maradaku..."
What follows is all kinds of fabrications.
Love, magic, detective, reality...all kinds of themes are brought to this country.
For creators, Maradaku is like a formulaic template, and many creators like to use it as a background.
It seems that Maradaku is the "Utopia" in the hearts of the people of the modern city.
"Although Maladaku's stories are rich and available in various genres, all creators will base their creations on a unified standard."
It can be understood that when you write a story about a certain country, you must write it within the cultural and realistic framework of that country.
This framework is basically "fixed".
For example, if you write about traveling in the Golden Bird Empire, the means of transportation you can use may be horses or carriages, but you cannot write about city-circling trains or suspended trains.
Because the Golden Bird Empire does not have such a culture and reality.
In the same way, Maladaku also has its own cultural norms and civilized reality. All novels and stage scripts will definitely be created based on this cultural norm and civilized reality when they are re-created.
