Chapter 194 Ritual: Dragon's Purification

Si An Mo's mood at the moment is also very subtle.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or an illusion... Every time he sees this honey-colored-haired saint, he feels that his three views are strongly impacted—

Do all of you outsiders play like this?

How does it feel to be more open than the earth...

But it seems to be normal.

After all, in this world, whether it is to change one's appearance, or to change one's gender or even the means of race, all exist. And it's not too difficult.

Although the various technologies in this world are still roughly in the 15th to 19th centuries on Earth... But this technology of changing bodies at will, has already left Earth's technology far behind.

——Even if you don’t get married, you can use the ceremony of the child in the cup to create offspring and continue the blood of the family.

The concept of marriage and extraordinary love brought about by many convenient ceremonies and extraordinary powers, to a certain extent...maybe more advanced and open than the players on earth.

"...However," Si Anke suddenly realized one thing, "that [Daughter of Eternity], she just wanted to use the curse of 'Moth Knot' to hurt me.

"Does that mean that she is very proficient in the rituals of the moth field..."

"You actually want to ask if she was transformed from a man back then."

Knowing the true thoughts of Si Anke, the saint couldn't help laughing: "Right?"

"...This is actually a reasonable guess."

The four said in a low voice.

The saint couldn't help laughing, rubbed Si Anke's hair vigorously, and made a mess: "I told you this. Wouldn't I know?

"It's not surprising that Ingrid would use the moth-mother ritual. A common requirement in the moth-mother's ritual with the Lady of Silence is that 'the ritualist must be a woman'.

"And a slightly harsher ceremony would also require that 'the ceremonial person must be a virgin' or 'the ceremonial person must be a mother of three children', or even 'the ceremonial person must have had an abortion' or 'never had an abortion'.

"Like Mr. Yao's ceremony, half of the requirements must be performed by men-Mr. Yao's ceremony is either performed by boys or by strong and healthy men. Therefore, in Mr. Yao's temple, almost all the priests are Men... and more than 80% of the priests of the moth mother are women of different ages."

I see.

The four nodded knowingly.

That's why the Sun Domain and the Moth Domain have gender-switching ceremonies...because their high-level ceremonies already have gender requirements.

And this means that there are certain ritual preconditions that necessarily conflict with each other.

When the priests of the temple use their own rituals, they can easily find suitable ritualists to help each other - in order to meet each other's ritual needs.

For wild ritualists, it is not easy to achieve this condition. That's why they straddle multiple fields and master different types of rituals.

"And I don't care whether Ingrid was a boy or a girl in the first place..."

The honey-colored-haired saint squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the dome shone with faint brilliance, and murmured in a low voice, "It's all over anyway. That has nothing to do with me."

There are a lot of stories in your words.

Si Anke's eyes moved slightly.

He was actually quite curious about the specific content of this gossip. But he was very observant - he sensed that Henry Worden was not in a good mood.

If you continue to ask questions at this time, it may indeed advance the plot, but it may also lose a bit of goodwill.

Unlike Jiu'er, Si An Ji is the kind of player who tends to be conservative. Compared with satisfying their own gossip psychology, it is more important to continue to maintain a friendly relationship with the saint.

"Okay, after I leave, she shouldn't continue to attack you."

The young saint gently comforted: "If you are still worried... I will teach you a ceremony in the Suifu domain. With this ceremony, you will never be cursed by her."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help showing a smile, and winked at Si Anke: "You should be... chaste now, right?"

"……Um."

Si An took a deep breath and nodded sullenly.

In general...he shouldn't feel any discomfort when being questioned like this by the same sex.

But when he learned that the saint named "Henry Worden" was once an abstinent female Holy Grail Knight, Si An Mo suddenly had a vision of "big sister" in him.

In addition, this saint's hair color makes people feel quite familiar...

When the saint spoke to him, he could always see a girl with honey-colored hair on the other side, but with stars in her eyes and a remote control in her hand.

If Henry was still a woman, it might be like that...

"There's nothing to be shy about, boy."

The saint saw the embarrassment of Si Anke and couldn't help laughing.

He put his left hand in his pocket, and rubbed Si Anke's hair with his right hand: "Chastity is not a mistake. Living a messy private life to prove that you are popular is not a praiseworthy thing. Behavior.

"The woman with the cup once said that abstinence is a virtue."

The young saint said warmly: "'Love and lust are not the same way - you need a lover and abstain from lust', 'desire is a beast that eats the heart, only the fierce can control it'.

"Although many people think that the believers of the woman with the cup are mostly indulgent fanatics. But the woman with the cup actually teaches us to abstain from sex... Only a strong and powerful soul should indulge our desires.

"It's just that some people have some deviations in their self-awareness. They think that their power is enough... but they are not enough to control their desires, but are controlled by desires.

"For these people, the will of the Lord is that they cannot control their uncontrolled desires, and they deserve to die because of their uncontrolled desires; and if they have grown from this process, and gradually regained themselves, recovered Peace of mind, then they'll be the 'Fighters'."

Causal loop. Just go with the flow.

The four darkened thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, the woman holding the cup is such a righteous god of the Buddhist system...

That's why the cup-bearer ignored the desperate cry of her believers who died because of greed—causing disaster due to uncontrollable lust, which was already a predetermined ending.

"The woman holding the cup is really a contradictory god..."

Four secretly muttered.

The Holy One is not angry: "Yes. The contradiction between love and lust, between abstinence and indulgence, is the charm of the way of the Lord. We Knights of the Holy Grail believe that 'only self is the answer to self'.

"Self persuasion, self depravity, self torture, self redemption - overcoming the immature self and keeping desire firmly in your hands is the way to hold the cup."

He gently patted Si Anke's shoulder: "The love between men and women should not be avoided, but it is not worth boasting about. Don't choose a love that is destined to be short and unfortunate for the sake of vain 'face'.

"That is the degeneration of the self and the harm to others. If you can understand this truth, then I teach you this ritual, and it can be regarded as a kind of inheritance."

The sage missed it a little: "Because when I was given this ceremony, I was also taught by an elder like this."

"...What ceremony?"

"This is a high-ranking ceremony of Suifu... Only chaste and healthy young people can use it, and it is called [Dragon's Purification Fire]. Suifu prefers chaste, healthy and strong men."

The saint took a deep breath and said slowly: "You need to extinguish all artificial light sources within the visible range around you. Whether it is green fire or black fire, or charcoal fire and firewood, it is not allowed to exist.

"Then in the open night in the dark, drenched his own blood on the iron block and beat the iron block on the iron felt, while chanting--

"[This is not a gold flint, nor a wooden flint, this is a dragon flint. The dragon uses blood flint bones, iron flint, and fire flint for life—]

"Then, the pure fire will be ignited on the iron block... This flame cannot be led by wood or grass, but can be led into the wine pool. The more light sources are extinguished around, the stronger and more chaste youth will be, the more pure the fire will be. The longer it lasts. Anyone who is cursed or sick can burn the curse on them as long as they remove their clothes and walk over the pure fire.

"This is an absolute ritual that can dispel almost all curses. But only healthy and strong men can withstand this power... If other people are dispelled by this ritual, their skin will be burnt by pure fire, and it takes a few days to completely avoid the light. recover.

"It should be noted that this ritual cannot be used on the elderly, otherwise it will lead to sudden death with a high probability... and it must not be used to burn other people's corpses. As long as you draw pure fire on the corpse, it will be permanently lost. The power of the fire purification ceremony may also offend the followers of Suifu."

With a straight face, the young man said seriously, "Do you understand, boy? Purging fire is something quite serious..."

"I've totally figured it out."

Si Anke nodded slowly.

——This is the ceremony of the holy brother...
