Chapter 36 It's Crazy
Whether it is a standard carriage or a garrison rusher, it is extremely rare in the margins of this slum area.
If it weren't for the nearby cordon being put on the cordon in advance, it would have attracted countless people to watch immediately.
In contrast, the corpse lying in the corner is less attractive.
After all, they are all forgotten wanderers, and in most cases, ordinary people avoid them.
Occasionally, even if you give me some food or clothes because of pity, you will keep your distance as much as possible.
In the impression of ordinary people, they are all factors of uncertainty.
Because no one knows their identity and origin.
Sometimes, some criminals also use this identity to hide and avoid hunting.
Maybe when will the attack start and cause new sins.
When passing by the alley, Martin lifted up the curtains and took a look through the carriage window.
The body is covered with sackcloth, and a corpse collector will come to move it away later.
Martin was thinking about the evil rituals, and suddenly noticed a light yellow color flashing through the depths of the alley.
It seems to be...
A cat?
Not small in size.
Martin frowned, but didn't care.
At this moment, his mind happened to recall the mysterious knowledge about the summoning ritual.
Besides, there are many stray cats and dogs like stray people in these places.
Most of them are very alert and full of vigilance against humans.
Although dog meat does not appear at all on the upper class dining table, for the civilians struggling on the poverty line, dog meat is also within their recipes...
The rituals are the same as the sequence level, and they are divided into three or six grades.
Low-level rituals have a small range of influence and simple requirements.
As long as you have the three basic elements of the ceremony, it can proceed smoothly.
That is, ritual materials, mantras and hosts.
Relatively speaking, there will be additional requirements for higher-level rituals.
For example, a specific environment or a special time point is required.
Among them, the spells will also involve the supreme power in the realm - the gods.
Generally speaking, the function of a ritual is to give an extraordinary effect to an object or person.
For example, Martin has a gold coin with [Eye of Light] attached to his hand.
But there are some rituals that are more special.
Just like "the hiding place of the Lord of Space".
Its effect is to temporarily transfer the host to another plane.
Summoning rituals are also a special type of ritual, and their functions are known from the name.
Martin came into contact with the summoning ceremony because his mother left behind books about ritual studies.
The title of the book is "Overview of the Basics of Rituals", which is a very basic and comprehensive introductory book for ritual studies.
The editor has a profound foundation in ritual studies and uses simple and easy-to-understand words to explain cumbersome and complex principles. It is basically due to Martin's ability to go to the present in ritual studies.
Martin even suspected that his mother was actually a ritualist, and her level was probably not low.
Otherwise it would be difficult to explain why she collected so many books on ritual studies.
After all, these things are still somewhat taboo.
It’s a pity that the parents passed away before the original owner of the body had memories, so these suspicions were meaningless.
Strictly speaking, a summoning ritual refers to a type of ritual, not a single one.
Low-end summoning rituals generally only have communication functions.
Some of them are like the ancient times when asking for a pen immortal, which may get a response from the righteous god, which will answer your questions and provide some useful help.
It is also possible to contact the evil god, bewitched, or even lose consciousness.
Become a walking zombie driven by the evil god and do all kinds of crazy things.
The specific result is actually determined entirely based on the object of prayer in the mantra.
A large part of why ritualists are very dangerous is because of mantras.
Ritualists need to understand many objects of prayer, and the true name of the righteous god often needs to be avoided.
In mysticism, when it comes to gods, they are often referred to as vernacular names.
In this way, the evil gods have an opportunity to take advantage of.
They would use this to mix their vocabulary into books of occultism, disguise themselves as seemingly harmless great beings, and then bewitch and control ritualists.
High-level summoning rituals can really summon some terrifying existences!
As far as Martin knows, the major temples should have their own rituals.
Because in the previous few epochs, there were records of the true god appearing in the world and revealing the grace of God...
However, such a ceremony is very expensive.
If you want to summon the evil god, you will need a large amount of sacrifices.
Martin has basically been sure that these disappearing homeless internal organs are used to complete the ritual!
After so many lives sacrificed, these cultists have made great plans, and what they want to summon may be very dangerous!
The temple should have already seen that the pattern in the small building on Maple Street is a summoning ceremony?
"Will these removed internal organs also be used for rituals?"
Martin hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but remind him.
Correct guidance can solve the problem as soon as possible and avoid more people from being harmed.
Because these brutal guys are so crazy!
Tiya glanced at Martin thoughtfully, and did not respond, but frowned and said, "Bishop Aslan is not in Fallinburg now."
Martin was stunned, wondering why she said this.
"Bithal Aslan is the ritualist of the Temple of Time."
Tiya then added another sentence.
It means, does she not know much about the ritual?
"Does there anyone else in the temple understand rituals?"
Martin asked.
Tiya shook her head and said expressionlessly: "Ritual learning knowledge is a taboo, and I prefer to believe in the power I have mastered."
Marting was speechless.
Why is it not here right now?
But anyway, there are tall people holding on to the sky, and he is just a sequence 9, so there is no need to think about it.
The carriage arrived at the last place, and no surprise, the dead, like the others, were also wanderers.
Before this poor guy could have time to cover with white cloth, the fabric on his body was no longer considered a dress, only a few strips of rotten cloth.
He was also cut open his chest and took his internal organs away.
The body also fell in an alley, very narrow.
The deceased leaned against the wall in a twisted manner, his eyes were open, and he looked straight ahead, with painful despair and unwillingness, and looked a little creepy.
“Is there any clue?”
Martin asked with a frown.
Tiya stood up from the side of the corpse, shook her head, her expression looking a little gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
There were no blood on the ground around, as if these internal organs had disappeared out of thin air.
It seems that we can only rely on extraordinary abilities to investigate.
Martin thought of Captain Mike.
I don't know if he can see something from these victims...
Doriani, who was standing beside him, seemed to have noticed something and squatted on the edge of the wall three meters away and searched carefully.
"Have you found anything?"
Martin walked over and squatted beside her, looking in the direction she was observing.
