Chapter 251

"...Ritualist?"

Annan frowned slightly, and his expression became serious.

He didn't ask citalopram "did you really hear that name?" or "are you sure" or whatever - if there really was an old ritualist there, citalopram would have come back alive It's not easy.

The road of ritual... This is another way for this world system to obtain extraordinary power.

There is no doubt that they are far more dangerous than the extraordinary.

There is always only one end of the transcendent road—that is, mastering the truth and sublimating into a long-lived person.

But in this world, there are always some people who are nostalgic in the world, addicted to the extravagant life of the mortal world and the benefits that are visible to the naked eye and within reach, and do not hope for the distant immortality, truth and authority.

For them, supernatural power is just a useful tool to gain prosperity and wealth.

Since it is a tool... it is natural to consider the price/performance ratio.

The iron rule of this world is that if you want to gain power, you must bear the corresponding curse.

But if it's just a short-term rental, you can pay a lot less.

--yes.

Ritualists are not like extraordinary people who choose to sublimate their souls and upgrade their life levels. They won't even enter the transcendent path at all... As such, the gray fog can't stop them from doing so.

They just use mystical knowledge to satisfy their endless desires.

With those unspeakable secrets about the true names of the gods, the rituals, and the secret relationships between them, "renting" supernatural powers through rituals.

During the whole process, the curse does not flow into them; the influence of the ritual can be used as the raw material for other rituals.

Therefore, they do not become short-lived, they do not become long-lived; they do not fall into nightmares, and they do not develop mutated cravings. They even know how to use the influence of the gods to eliminate the pollution of their own souls...and how to pollute the minds of others, driving people crazy without knowing it.

They are mere mortals, but they hold incomparably powerful forces in their hands—powers that are completely uncontrollable.

Extraordinary people know the price that must be paid to gain power, and know that people with insufficient ability are not allowed to touch the taboo of stronger curses.

After the sublimation of the soul, the extraordinary often has room for failure in the ceremony... but the ritualist does not.

The power they master is far higher than their own level.

It makes them fearless.

To them, the difference between ritual failures at different levels is like "an explosive that is close enough to destroy a building" versus "an explosive that is close enough to destroy a city."

As long as it's out of control, it's death anyway, it doesn't make any difference.

The difference is only how much trouble it will bring to other people after the aftermath of the ceremony.

And people who have taken this road would never have cared about these things in the first place.

Because if you want to become a ceremonial master, you must first have the awareness to pay any price and take advantage of anyone - there is often even the possibility of offending the righteous gods.

Ritualists have no reverence for power at all.

Therefore, all ritualists are naturally wanted criminals.

Even if they did not commit any crime,

It is also necessary to constantly monitor, arrest and even silently assassinate. Because everyone knows that once the ritual is out of control, the ritualist has no ability to eliminate and suppress the ritual at all.

It is different from the transcendents with distinct levels.

No one will know how much mysterious knowledge is stored in a ritualist's brain-because they have no way of knowing when they became ritualists and when they started collecting mysterious knowledge.

Perhaps when he was very young, he read the forbidden books collected by his parents; perhaps when he was young, he obtained a secret book that recorded a certain ritual from the belongings of the dead old ritualist; perhaps even in middle age and old age. Only when I was lucky enough to touch this world.

Contrary to the official attitude... The so-called barefooted people are not afraid of wearing shoes. The false god church, which originally lived without a fixed place and wandered around, would not be afraid of the danger of ritualists.

They often hire some ritualists to help them perform the ceremony.

Different from the transcendent path and the ritual path...the path of faith is the fairest path.

Not paying attention to talents, talents and morals, and not so many internal and external dangers. As long as you pay, you will gain, as long as you work, you will be rewarded.

But it comes at a price -- loyalty.

It is not the loyalty of the mortal world to the monarch, it is just a promise of three words, which is common to all gods.

For example, the clergy of the Silver Sirs swore this when they joined the membership:

"I swear that I will never destroy and do my best to continue the symbol of the silver jazz - the silver coin;"

"I swear to do my best to follow the way of trade, and walk in the way that the Silver Lord has traveled;"

"I swear never to betray, and not to come close to other Eternals."

- That's all.

The first two are just "try your best", only the third is mandatory: you can use your own original rituals, you can use your own gods or the rituals of their gods (if they are true gods), but you can't use them. The rituals left behind by other gods.

As for why this is, Annan still does not know.

It's not harsh after all...and it's not a requirement for "believers", but for "priests".

It's almost like a non-compete agreement.

If there is really a ritual teacher in Roseburg, Annan's previous plan will be completely overturned.

Because this means that there may be no believers of the rotten in Rosberg... The previous "Ritual: Your Heart Sings" and those summoned objects may even be summoned by the same person.

And he's just employed by a rotman.

Then the rotten forces in Roseburg may not be as big as Annan imagined—maybe even all of them have been evacuated.

"Things are starting to get complicated..."

This is not just a novice trial for the Four Darkness and Citalopram.

It is even related to the safety of the entire Roseburg, the existence of the Geraint family in the capital, and even the change of the throne of Noah Kingdom——

"I'll trouble you to run an errand... Go and call Jiu'er back first. Then inform Si An Mo, the trap can be set up. After setting it up, retreat directly, and use the trap to delay their departure time."

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly: "I'm going back to get some things, you guys will wait for me here first... I'll try to be back within forty minutes. If they leave, you and Si Anke will at least embellish the ritualist-other People can ignore it.

"Your test has come to an end for the time being, and I will take another consideration later. In order for you to follow up boldly and effectively, I will first give you the ability to connect with each other and resurrect."

Following Annan's words, two hints floated in front of citalopram: resurrection and forum function unlocked.

Annan was going to do it himself - he was going to catch someone alive.

Of course, gathering online players, issuing a temporary main quest, granting temporary unlimited resurrection privileges... Naturally, it is also necessary.

If nothing else, at least it's okay to help Annan share the firepower.

And these two new players with stealth assassination ability... Maybe it will be a surprise for Annan.
