Chapter 177 3 Kinds of Rituals

"—Fuck, it's a good thing!"

"—I don't mean anything else, but I think you should cancel your anonymity first. https://"

"—Landlord, change for Laozi!"

"—Wait, wait... Does this mean that I can still help her..."

"—help her out, help her out."

"—No, the cup-bearer is too Slaanesh, isn't it?"

"—It's not why you said no, are you excited? It's better to act than to be excited, Brother Xiong."

Seeing the information sent by Lin Yiyi, the forum turned into a mess in an instant.

Originally, players didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing.

But the existence of Huskies seems to have opened a brand new strange door for them...

To be honest, a little heartbroken.

After all, this is their second life.

Not to mention changing genders, even changing races wouldn't affect their lives—for example, Dove, who hasn't changed back yet.

This is undoubtedly a new life experience.

In the past, although players didn't care much, they occasionally envied Dove and Huskies for the alternative and novel experience.

But after all, when they entered the game, they didn't make those "too bold choices", and now they can't regret it.

However, just now, the players suddenly heard... It turns out that this world actually has a ritual that can switch genders at will?

Combined with the rituals that can modify your appearance that you have heard before - isn't this a fantasy medicine that can reshape people?

As for consumption and difficulty, players have never seen this kind of thing.

——As long as the materials can be obtained through normal activity output, the liver emperors will not consider consumption at all.

Even according to the players' habits, they might hoard the "set of materials" for this high-level ritual as a unit of hard currency—for example, "a bottle of fantasy medicine".

This kind of thing, players have never been too much.

... so you guys like this tune?

When Annan saw the extremely positive attitude of the players, he was suddenly stunned.

- Indeed.

Although there is no way to buy skins or other appearances in this world, face pinching props are still a luxury that has never changed.

"...But I have to take the time to remind them."

Annan frowned slightly.

If the ceremony of the woman holding the cup is more convenient and less expensive than the ceremony of Mr. Yao and the mother moth, how can there be an inheritance of the remaining two kinds of rituals?

The ritual of changing genders and the ritual of prolonging the lifespan of mortals are a difficult one.

- This is not to say that it is particularly difficult, but to say that it is relatively simple.

The ceremony in the solar field is called [reshaping the body of the sun]. This ceremony requires a special and relatively expensive flower to perform a simple ceremony at a fixed time every day to collect the sunlight of the morning sun, afternoon sun, and sunset for twelve months, a total of thirty-six kinds of sunlight.

This last person will do thirty-six good deeds in one day, and then before sunset will succumb to the flowers with sunlight, accompanied by prayers praising the sun, one by one.

The ritualist will then dream that he is in the furnace of the sun. After waking up again after intense roasting, it can turn into a fairly healthy male body.

It is worth mentioning that this ritual can be performed even by men.

He can restore fertility to an old and deprived body, and rejuvenate a body that is debilitated and afflicted by old diseases... Even a 30-year-old youth who has never exercised can instantly gain the ability to eat and drink according to the standard every day. A strong physique that comes from exercising regularly and diligently.

Some ceremonial masters who are only ready to step into the world of supernatural beings in their thirties, many will hold this ceremony for themselves. At least replace the daily reading, research, or the body that has been weakened by the curse with a healthy and powerful one-this is much more cost-effective than exercising from scratch, and it can also wipe out the hidden diseases that have not yet occurred.

And the ritual of the moth mother is called [Dead Butterfly in a Dream]. This ceremony has certain dangers - it does not require expensive materials like Mr. Yao's ceremony, but only some general ritual materials, and the permission of ten female relatives and friends to donate blood voluntarily.

These ten people must have some connection with the ritualist. For example, teachers and students, mother and son, father and daughter, classmates, comrades in arms... This relationship should last at least ten months.

Then each person pricks one of their fingers and writes his real name with blood anywhere on the person's body. The fingers used by ten people cannot be repeated, that is, they cover exactly ten fingers.

After that, the ten fingers of the ritualist need to be cut off by the assistant with the same scissors. This process cannot be anesthetized or stop the bleeding. Afterwards, the ritualist must be fed a special secret medicine, and then placed in incense to make him fall into a coma.

Afterwards, the ritualist would temporarily lose his memory, and be placed in a random dreamscape made up of the experiences of ten "supporters".

Every time the ritualist discerns that one of the layers of the nightmare is false, that his memory and existence are fictitious, and commits suicide in the dream, a wound on one finger is closed - the wound will no longer bleed, but It spits out grey threads of flesh and blood.

As long as you can successfully pass the ten layers of nightmares before dying from blood loss, you will be entangled with gray silk threads into a "cocoon". When the cocoon was placed quietly for ten days, a sixteen-year-old girl would emerge from it—her appearance was not her female body, but the sum of the characteristics of the ten supporters, and she would completely abandon her original appearance. All the facial features... as if they became the common child of these ten people.

But unlike Mr. Yao's ritual, this ritual cannot be used by women.

Because the essence of Mr. Yao's ritual is to rebuild a healthy body.

And this ceremony can have the effect of rejuvenating the old.

The moth mother is the god of decomposition and breeding.

She is exceptionally good at rituals of rebirth. If women want to rejuvenate, they need to use another special ceremony.

Of course... in principle, it is allowed to switch between these two rituals to make oneself a girl with "periodic changes in age".

But that doesn't make much sense...the ritual of prolonging life is not difficult. Only life-extending ceremonies for the royal family are not allowed.

The Golden Orders die, not because their lifespans run out, but because they burnt out their souls.

However, if one does not reach the silver rank to obtain a pure soul before performing the life extension ceremony... then the ritualist's soul will begin to decay.

This stench will attract bell ringers to come. The stronger the stench, the quicker the bell ringer will come.

Compared with these two ceremonies, the ceremony of the woman holding the cup [The Great Sin of Drunkenness] is more troublesome.

The indescribable ritual process itself is not a problem... The key point is that all participants in this ritual will undergo a series of random changes.

Often, the direction of change is related to the desire to hold. But it is completely uncontrollable - just like people can't perfectly control their own desires.

The real purpose of this ritual is to "make yourself more beautiful". But every time everyone wakes up, they always find that their original purpose is somewhat different, but they are generally satisfied.

If it is a woman who likes girls, she may become a handsome man, but it is also possible to become a handsome woman, and the most terrifying thing is to become a woman with male sexual characteristics - and there may be more people who worry about being assassinated. A heart; people who think they are too busy will have an extra set of "proliferative arms".

In the same way, there may also be "eyes in the hands", "eyes in the back of the head", or abnormal and drastic changes in body and height.

This kind of deformity led by desire is exactly what the cup-bearer would like to see—it can also be said that it is the consequence of indulgence of desire being punished. Of course, the parties may not consider this a punishment...

If it is the first two ceremonies, then Annan does not think that will happen.

[Reshaping the body of the sun] is nothing more than checking in on time every day.

The danger of [Dead Butterfly in a Dream] does not exist for players at all.

But [The Great Sin of Drunkenness] is different.

- The devil knows what's going to happen.

The deformity that arises in this ritual cannot be cured. Because this is not a "disability" or a "disease," but a state of absolute health. If you want to change back, you can only make your desires fundamentally change, and then participate in a ritual...

"...However, it seems that a certain degree of prediction can be made."

Annan suddenly remembered something.

Speaking of which, Salvatore seems to have a magic mirror.

It can reflect the essence of a person's soul...

If you combine this ritual, you might be able to create some strange "race".

Looking at the enthusiastic players discussing, Annan opened his mouth and hesitated.

——This time I really didn't cheat you.

This is really of your own free will...

I will only keep people with too weird XP out of the ceremony...

...for world peace.
