MTL - Mercenaries and Adventurers-v4 Chapter 156 , the blessing ceremony of 'The source of grass and trees'
Kiel saw that the powerful divine power of several old priests condensed together, and gradually changed from a mess of light bands to a spherical light ball.
The vice-principal, who had been silent before, joined the ceremony at this moment.
He raised his hands up and opened them, his mouth opened but he didn't make a sound, and he seemed to be doing nothing, but between Keir's brows, he felt a suffocating invisible force coming from the old vice-principal. rise up.
Unlike everyone else's Saturn's divine power that glowed blue, the invisible and powerful divine power was invisible to the naked eye, but it did exist. The center of Kiel's eyebrows seemed to be pressed against a sharp sword, and an unspeakable pressure rushed towards his face.
Fortunately, this is just a ceremony, and the object of the ceremony is not him.
But Kiel reacted the next moment, the person who accepted the ceremony was Batar priest, but will it be his turn soon?
Oops.
You won't really have to face this force, will you?
No way, no way?
-
Keir thought too much, the power of the vice-principal far exceeds that of others, of course it is not the powerful power needed for a single blessing ceremony, in fact, only the divine power of a few of his attendants is enough.
His power exists more as an intervention and insurance force outside the ceremony.
In Kiel's invisible energy field, the vice-principal's divine power was controlled by it, like several human hands, emerging from him, and then extending forward.
These powerful and invisible hands kneaded the blue divine power gathered by the other priests in front of them, kneading the originally chaotic divine power of the Saturnalia into a unified 'dough'.
It is okay not to do this, but the time and quality of the ceremony will be lengthened and reduced.
Here he is, of course, with some extra help.
At the same time, behind the vice-principal, on the tall white stone statue of the **** of agriculture, I don't know if he sensed someone performing a blessing ceremony, so he also provided an additional support of the divine power generated by the priests who worshiped him every day.
This divine power support from the statue adds to the strength of this blessing, making the blessing even stronger than the blessing produced by not performing the ceremony here.
As the divine power light sphere in midair gradually became pure and round, it represented that the power of several Saturn priests had been unified. Seeing this scene, several priests who performed the ceremony took out the seeds of crops from nowhere, and held them in their hands like offering treasures towards the ball in midair.
They whispered something repeatedly in their mouths, and Keel listened carefully, only to hear that they were chanting the name of the blessing produced by this ceremony: "blessed food."
They repeatedly chanted the name of the blessing, and the ball of light also changed rapidly.
The grain seeds in the hands of the priests were sucked away by an invisible force and merged into the ball of divine power. Immediately, the ball of light burst into bright light, forcing Kiel to close his eyes.
While Kiel closed his eyes, Priest Batar opened his eyes wide, staring straight at the ball of light as if unaffected by the light.
The ball of light fell down, and two divine powers shot into Priest Batar's eyes like thunder and lightning, as if they were pouring something or knowledge into Priest Batar's brain.
At this moment, Priest Batar's whole body even floated up slightly, and his whole body was bathed in powerful divine power.
In an instant, the white light suddenly disappeared, but it didn't enter Priest Batar's body. On the contrary, the power in these divine light spheres all entered the few crop seeds absorbed just now.
These small seeds emit a cyan light, and they themselves have become quite different from before. The energy flows, and they faintly become translucent.
These seeds then fell down, like a hammer hammering nails, and after making a thumping sound, they were inlaid on the left chest of Priest Batar one by one.
A walnut-sized circle was surrounded by several crop seeds, and within this circle embedded on the skin, a pattern composed of the divine power of the **** of agriculture emerged soon, revealing the skin.
It was a cyan pattern of divine power. Although it was small, the description of the divine power was extremely detailed. An old hand picked up a handful of grain, and the grain slowly slipped from the edge of the palm, but there was no shortage of grain in the palm.
That's right, this pattern is still a moving picture.
-
"Is Priest Batar all right?"
After Kiel saw that everything was over, Priest Batar slumped on the grass weakly, and his mind was not clear. Kiel walked over and stretched out his hand to shake in front of his eyes. The priest's eyes blurred for a while, as if he had drunk too much wine. , but concentrated again for a while.
Keel helped him up, pulled him a little away and waded on the soft grass.
"He has nothing to do. He just learned how to use this powerful blessing and the scope of use. You must know that although it seems to be the method of use and the scope of use, it contains a lot of information. We asked the **** of agriculture to give it to him through a ceremony. While giving the blessing, he also told him which crops can be used by this blessing."
Before Kiel could understand, the vice-principal said something to wake him up: "You have to know that there are a lot of plants or similar plants that can be used as crops in this world. There are tens of thousands of them at least."
As soon as he said that, Kiel understood why Priest Batar was in such a dizzy state. It turned out that he was infused with too much knowledge by the ceremony, so he was in such a blinded state.
It's almost like he was stupid when he was studying in high school in his previous life.
Then Keir thought of himself: "My lord vice-principal, can't I be like him? It's painful to watch! And this knowledge just entered the mind of the blessed one? Will it be unforgettable for a lifetime?"
Kiel's words seemed to amused the old priests around him: "Where is such a good thing? If you accept a ritual blessing, you can know most of the world's crop knowledge in a short period of time, and countless Saturn priests will Competing for this blessing. We just do nothing else but do this all day long."
The vice-principal shook his head: "First of all, not every blessing has the knowledge of ritual blessings, and secondly, this knowledge will be quickly forgotten as the time limit of blessings expires. You don't think that this knowledge depends on your brain. Memorized, right? It's actually maintained by ritually infused divine power."
"Is there a time limit for blessings?"
Everyone nodded: "There is a time limit. Unless it is the great **** of agriculture, we priests are all mortals. How can we cast permanent magic or blessings that transcend time?"
"How long will the blessing of Priest Batar last?"
The vice-principal pointed behind Keir: "Then let Batar tell you."
Kiel turned around and found that Batar, who had just been lying on the ground blindfolded, had sat up now. He rubbed his cheeks with a headache, but Keel noticed that Batar's eyes were bright again.
"How? How long will your blessing last?"
Keel squatted down and asked curiously.
Priest Batar looked down at the dynamic pattern produced by the inlaid crop seeds on his chest: "I'm fine, but I feel a big impact. As for the maintenance time."
"Half a year! The blessing can last for half a year. As long as I use my divine power now, I can continuously produce the food in my hand. Although it can't supply too many people, the population of a village seems to be fine."
Priest Batar carefully touched the divine power maintenance pattern with his hand: "It's amazing, these seeds have accumulated a lot of divine power to maintain the blessing, and they will automatically supply some divine power that does not belong to me to drive the blessing."
He suddenly looked up at the vice-principal, although he didn't speak, but the vice-principal nodded: "That's right, that's what you think, this ritual blessing can not only be used by Saturn priests, but also for non-clergy or used by others of the believer."
"How can it be!"
These words surprised Priest Batar.
But the vice-principal stopped Priest Batar's shock with just one sentence.
"Who do you think the blessing of this ceremony was for at the beginning? You? Me? Or the other priests present? No, it was for the countless victims of the disaster, who could only escape because of the lack of crops. A little bit of food , it can be changed into a hundred, and a thousand changes. Batar, half a year is enough for a season of crops to be replanted and harvested."
After hearing this, Keel and the two fell silent.
It is not difficult to imagine how many people could be saved by the effect of such a blessing in a crop failure area where starvation is everywhere. And the effect of such a powerful blessing can liberate how many Saturn priests' actions in times of crisis, so that they will not be involved in one place, thus saving more people.
-
"Okay, Batar's blessing is complete, it's your turn, young Kiel warrior."
The vice-principal said to Keir.
Kiel nodded and asked a question he wanted to ask just now: "Sir, do I need to take off the clothes on my body?"
"What do you think? The ceremony will generate powerful divine power to enter your body. It is best to have no cover. Of course, you can take off your upper body. At the same time, the blessing will temporarily produce a blessed pattern on the surface of the body. They need to occupy a little space. .”
Kiel smiled slightly: "My lord, it's okay for a man to be like this, but what about the priestess who is blessed?"
The vice-principal laughed and scolded: "You little devil, female priest or blessed lady, we will let them lie on their stomachs as much as possible, and bear the divine power and blessing patterns from their backs. Are you satisfied? Take it off!"
Keel just started to do it.
He took off the metal belt around his waist, on which hung the Longsword Hunt and the Heartfire Magic Dagger, as well as many sturdy small leather bags made of hard cowhide.
Then Kiel put the elven metal shield and Yueshui head two-handed ax behind him on the grass beside him.
Then he took off the metal helmet, and carefully let the neck armor take off with the helmet.
Then came the metal gloves for the hands, then the armguards and elbows, the upper arms and the shoulder pads.
After taking off all these, he carefully opened the metal lock between the breastplate and the skirt armor originally protected by the metal belt, and took off the strong and heavy breastplate that mainly protected the body little by little.
The vice-principal noticed a black wooden sculpture of a bird hanging around Kiel's neck.
"Take off that ornament too, it contains the power of other gods."
Seeing it clearly, the vice-principal didn't directly point out the real weirdness of the thing, but just asked Keir to take it off.
Kiel hesitated for a moment, then took off the wood carving with the lanyard, and threw it into the helmet with a bang.
There seemed to be a dissatisfied bird chirping vaguely, and Kiel just shrugged. He took the risk to do something for the big bird **** inside, but in the end, Kiel was not satisfied with the reward that the **** gave him.
That is a temporary enhanced ability.
While wearing the bird statue, he can temporarily strengthen his eyesight by saying a prayer taught to him by the other party.
What is this?
Hawkeye?
Is this magic or magic?
It looks good, doesn't it, but this ability to enhance eyesight does not enhance Kiel's combat at all, and he is not an archer or crossbowman.
Based on the idea that talking is better than nothing, when Kiel was dispatched this time, he asked the logistics clerk for two sets of bows and crossbows.
Otherwise, he prefers to fight at close range, defeating his opponent with one sword at a time.
-
After everything was done, Kiel came among the priests, put his hands on his hips, raised his head and said confidently: "Master Vice-Principal, come on, what kind of ritual blessing can I be suitable for?"
The vice-principal nodded: "I heard the request from you and Batar before. Considering that you, a warrior, are injured in battle, Batar can be used to heal you with magical powers, so the powerful blessings in healing will not be too great. It is re-selected. But the material loss and energy consumption of the body after the divine treatment is a big problem that limits the combat ability and time."
"I decided to give you the blessing of the 'Source of Grass and Trees' ceremony. It is a kind of blessing ability that allows you to release it independently. After the ability is released, within a certain period of time, you will have unlimited energy for fighting, traveling, making, and working. I think , this should be able to be very powerfully matched with the priest Batar's magic, and at the same time it can also assist you in fighting."
"Infinite energy for a short time, okay, very good, then please trouble the priests. Come on."
Kiel puffed out his chest and put his hands on his hips, as if he was about to start for Lao Tzu.
The old priests laughed for a while, then dispersed.
They were only loosely surrounding Batar before, but now they are standing around Kiel.
"Warriors of Kiel, the source of physical strength is human lungs. The ceremony has begun, listen to my voice, and act as I arrange." The voice of the vice-principal rang in Kiel's ears, but the other party's mouth Did not open.
Kyle nodded in surprise.
Thus, the blessing of the 'Source of Grass and Trees' ceremony officially began.
The old priests lined up on the left and right, but did not move.
The vice-principal smacked his knobbly long staff, causing several emerald green leaves to grow on the staff.
After the leaves grew to the length of their fingers, they fell off from the long stick and fluttered into the hands of other old priests.
Clutching the emerald green leaves in their hands, the old priests began to chant.
"Where will all the food to fill the stomach come from?"
"Multiple vegetation from the earth."
"Where do all the animals that can feed their stomachs come from?"
"Multiple vegetation from the earth."
"Where do the birds come from?"
"A lot of vegetation."
"Where does the fish come from?"
"Many vegetation in the water."
"Thus Saturn was inspired by Mother Earth."
"The abundance of vegetation is the food for all things to grow."
"When vegetation grows, it feeds all things."
"Listen, quiet they face the sun."
"Swaying branches and grass leaves."
"Listen, they speak less to the water."
"The roots reach out to the earth."
"Listen, they, who are silent, turn to the earth."
"The stalk carries nutrients."
"The growth of vegetation is the source of energy for all animals and people."
"This source is given to you by the **** of agriculture at this moment."
"Please run on the ground."
"Please work in the fields."
"Please exercise and stretch your limbs."
"Just like grass and trees, they stretch out their branches."
As soon as the words fell, the young leaves in the hands of the priests came out, and the divine power in their bodies flowed. Miraculously, the lawn covered with the entire central ceremony ground quickly started from the edge of the yard, and the withered yellow color moved inward.
The blades of grass swayed rapidly, the withered yellow started from the roots, and quickly extended to the blades of grass, and then a speck of the greenest light escaped from the tip of the blades of grass, and drifted towards the old priests.
The vice-principal waved his hands at this moment, and those tender green spots of light quickly gathered on the young leaves from around the old priest.
The young leaves become emerald green, and even seem to break through the limit of color.
Keel just used the peripheral vision of his eyes to take a scoop, and felt that his eyes were hurt by the extreme color. For a moment, only green remained in his eyes.
The other colors gradually fade away, leaving only the scene of various shades of green.
Only then did the old priests release their divine power, and each of them poured their divine power into a small young leaf. It seems that his eyes are invaded by extremely bright colors, which is just a normal thing.
The vice-principal stretched out his hands and gently tapped each of the hanging young leaves ~www.novelbuddy.com~ to speed up the infusion of divine power.
At this time, the white stone statue of the **** of agriculture emitted a wave-like fluctuation of divine power, and all the humans present were not disturbed, but the lawn on the ground, which was quickly withered and yellow, quickly returned to its previous emerald green appearance under the fluctuation of divine power .
It's as if the statue couldn't see the place where it was withered and yellow.
-
Kiel felt that his surroundings were full of powerful power. Compared with every old priest around him, it seemed that he didn't have so much Saturn's divine power in his body?
Of course, it is still incomparable to the invisible Saturn divine power of the vice-principal in front of him. It is an extremely powerful force. He felt as if he was being forced by a sword when he was many meters away. Now the vice-principal is here Four meters away in front of Keir, even with his eyes closed, he felt like a child playing on the railway, and the freight train in the distance was rushing towards him with full force.
Kiel was raising his hand to block his eyes, as if he wanted to use his limbs to block the powerful oncoming force.
But the vice-principal's voice sounded in his ears: "Kiel warrior, please don't release your life energy, this is not conducive to the generation of divine power and blessing ability in the following ceremony."
Without the vice-principal's reminder, Kiel didn't even notice that the life energy in his whole body was boiling violently at this moment.
Although the naked eye cannot see it on the surface of his body, under the actual skin, the life energy is like the army of his body kingdom. At this moment, they have all entered a state of war, and they are screaming fiercely under the skin of their body to follow the incoming attackers. The enemy fights to the death.
Regardless of whether the friends or partners who come here are beneficial to them, anyway, all outsiders must be defeated and driven out!
