MTL - For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King (1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King)-Chapter 29 Wang Kou transformation

   Chapter 29 Wang Kou Transformation

   As William thought, the miners rejected his proposal.

   Frightened, humble, but resolute.

   After repeatedly reminding them that they still could not change their views, William felt that he had done his best.

  There are some things that can’t be persuaded, and forcibly persuading others will only leave hidden dangers for oneself.

   "But why did you stay here too?"

  William looked back at the boy named Colt and asked suspiciously.

   The boy who had been whipped by the foreman for dozing off stayed by William's side. He neither went through the portal to the Mourning Mountains nor returned to the ground with the rest of the miners.

   "My father needs someone to take care of him, and he can't leave the City of Thorns just yet."

  Coulter replied.

   "Then why don't you go up with them?"

  William pointed to the road leading to the mine elevator.

   "It's safe to be with you."

"Wise choice."

  William walked over to the statues of the three goddesses.

   "But I don't have time to send you home. When it's time to safely take you out of the mine, you can find a way to take your dad out of the city of thorns."

   As he spoke, he carefully inspected the statues of the three goddesses, and determined that they did not have any special function except as the initial anchor point for summoning moon monsters.

After    smashed the statue, he briefly checked the skull temple behind the statue.

   Check this just in case, this kind of skull temple is essentially a magic furnace that uses the souls of the dead as fuelwood, and its function is basically to provide fuel for large-scale ceremonies.

   Sure enough, there are no clues there.

  Then only the places where the miners dig in the rock wall may be the real subject of this ceremony.

  William walked to the front of the rock wall and stroked the traces that had been excavated with his fingers. As he expected, the previously controlled miners carved some kind of regular pattern along the veins of the source silver.

  Elementium silver is a metal intermediary with a strong affinity for magic. Even raw ore that has not been mined and refined has the property of encapsulating magic.

  William pressed the ore vein with both hands, and used the entire ore vein as a spell-casting medium to release a [Illumination].

  Light silver light lit along the veins of Elemental Silver on the rock wall, and an unfinished complex picture gradually coiled in this hall.

   That is a pattern of a dragon and a snake biting each other's tails, constantly devouring each other.

"what is this?"

  Colter circled the shiny pattern, as if he couldn't believe they had carved it out.

   And William was stunned when he saw this pattern. After a while, he said solemnly.

   "Wang Kou Ceremony, so it turns out..."

  In the background setting of the game, except for the rituals used to communicate with the moon, all other ritual magics are essentially a means of affecting the present by imitating past myths and legends to resonate.

The   Wang Kou ceremony is one of the typical examples. This ceremony was first based on the famous mythical story in the primitive beliefs of the Blackwater Swamp - the transformation of Wang Kou.

  This story is close to a fable: the god-king who rules the heavens and the earth is very cruel, and under his rule, the souls of the dead are so numerous that the entire underworld will burst. The **** of death in the underworld, dissatisfied with the cruel rule of the god-king, rises up as a rebel and starts a rebellion.

After   Death killed the God-king through various trials, he was crowned a new God-king and imprisoned the soul of the old God-king in the underworld, making him the new God of Death.

   Later, the new **** king was addicted to power and gradually became cruel, while the imprisoned new **** of death gradually became wise because of the company of the soul, so the status of the king and the rebel army changed, and a new cycle began.

  The snake representing the **** of death and the dragon representing the god-king devoured each other and turned into each other. This is the perception of the concept of reincarnation by people in the Blackwater Swamp area in ancient times.

The so-called Wang Kou ceremony is to reproduce the key nodes in this story through imitation, plus various tedious preparations and a huge amount of magic as fuel to hold the ceremony. If it successfully resonates with the mirror image of the past myths and legends, you can make yourself Gain the corresponding power and authority in mythology.

   "What is the Wang Kou ceremony?"

   asked Colt beside him.

   "In simple terms, it is a ceremony that allows people to step into the realm of the gods in one step."

After answering    in a coping style, William thought of a key question.

  In the City of Thorns, where would Duke Simon find a king with a higher status than him, and let himself be a rebel to overthrow him?

  …

On the    elevator, the miners who rejected the hire of the mysterious magic caster fell into a subtle silence.

   After a while, one of them seemed to finally be unable to bear it any longer, he said.

   "I said, why don't we go down to find that person now?"

   "Are you crazy? Go with him, do you think you can protect you if you are a magic caster? This is the City of Thorns, Duke Simon's City of Thorns. No matter how strong he is, how many can he fight?"

   Another person immediately retorted.

   "But the Duke he imposed upon us..."

   "Then let me ask you, are you dead? Is anyone here dead?"

   "But if the magic caster hadn't killed that monster and made them stop parasitizing us, maybe in the future..."

   "That's just his own words."

   The man interrupted him and continued.

   "And you said it was just 'maybe', right? But if we go with the guy who ruined the duke's affairs and dig that fortress, we'll definitely die, understand?"

   Several miners nodded when they heard his words. Duke Simon's authority in the City of Thorns is absolute, and no one would question this.

   "The person who meets the Duke later, what shall we say about what happened next?"

   one person asked.

   "As we discussed before, we told the truth about what happened before we were stunned. And what happened after that, I said that I didn't remember anything after waking up."

   The miner who spoke earlier replied.

   "The more you say, the more wrong you are. You say you don't remember anything and they can't verify it."

   Everyone nodded secretly.

   After about five minutes, they walked out of the Silver Stream Mine following the guidance of the magic crystal miner's lamp, and waiting for them outside was a black guard of thorns.

   Seeing that they came out, the two front rows of black armored guards pulled out the sharp swords in their hands with a "clang".

   All the miners raised their hands and stopped.

   And after seeing who was leading the team, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

   Vincent von Bergman.

   The chief war mage of the court known as the first person under the legend.

It is said that he had successively launched a mage duel against three members of the inner circle of the platinum circle, and in the duel he defeated the three long-established war mages one by one. Incurable scorch as humiliation.

   He also received the title of "Scorch Sage".

   Everyone was stunned for a while.

   They never thought that what happened in the mine was so big, and they actually alerted the adult to come to deal with it.

   Tomorrow will be better
