Grand Princess Anna's Substitute Ritual

The average daily subscription is 1714, and it's increasing every day. I'll work hard to update more every day too. Keep it up!

Looking at this attribute, Gu Xi knew that the Maze Devourer in front of him, like the Skeleton Mirror Guard before him, was a soldier-type creature.

However, this soldier's appearance is incomplete.

Normally, units that start at level 6 only reached level 4 due to Gu Xi's Undead Enhancement.

It can only be considered half completed.

To make this Maze Devourer more normal, it must be placed in a graveyard of level 2 or higher, or Stitched Base of level 1 or higher.

Graveyards of level 2 or higher can produce high-tier Zombie, Stitched Base is where Stitched Monster are produced. Both locations are suitable for filling the gaps in this unit type.

Since neither of the two buildings has a suitable Gu Xi, he can only leave it at that. He will keep the Maze Devourer in his collection for now and consider replacing it when someone's graveyard is upgraded.

Until then, this Maze Devourer will likely be unable to go to the battlefield.

After sending the Maze Devourer away, Gu Xi glanced at his remaining mana. With only 19 points left, Gu Xi was somewhat unaccustomed to not letting the Death Avatar go.

With such limited magical power, it would be clearly inappropriate to perform the Undead Transformation.

Gu Xi then began to study the steps required to replace the ritual.

Since the Empress did not see the princess in Gu Xi's hands, she simply referred to her as the princess when introducing her to Gu Xi.

There are some things that the Queen specifically pointed out.

The lord must be a real princess; you can't use a Wild Boar called a princess to fill the role.

She was tricked by the hunter, mistaking the Wild Boar's heart and liver for the real princess's, and the ceremony failed from the start.

Otherwise, she would have had three chances to be resurrected, instead of her gray-black stepdaughter.

Therefore, she raised this point: if you want to correspond to a princess, you must be a real princess.

If Gu Xi could find another Grand Princess Anna, that would be the best outcome.

Gu Xi suspected that the Queen had seen his ability to enter and exit Westminster Abbey, or even divined something, which was why she said such things.

But if he actually brought Grand Princess Anna's real corpse into the instance, his troops would probably be killed by Grand Princess Anna's subordinates immediately.

Gu Xi wasn't that stupid; his goal from the very beginning was the Pea Princess prop.

Anyway, this Ritual Magic only requires a ritual; it doesn't require any mana.

Gu Xi simply took this opportunity to begin the substitute ritual.

He first had Grand Princess Anna's body removed from the mortuary.

Because time was reversed three times, and with the Corpse Nourishing Ground, Grand Princess Anna's body was significantly better than before.

The eerie aura emanating from her body dissipated considerably, and the Negative Energy of death began to permeate Grand Princess Anna's body.

Gu Xi brewed a pot of magic potion according to the recipe left by the Queen, and then poured half of the potion into Grand Princess Anna's mouth.

Given Gu Xi's potion-making skills, he simply put the appropriate ingredients in a pot and boiled them once. Anyway, the recipe was correct, but as for the potion's effect, he wasn't very confident.

The only certainty is that, because the potion required snake blood, Gu Xi drew some blood from the Serpent-shaped Great Weird that was lying aside and used it to make the potion.

After administering the potion to Grand Princess Anna's corpse.

Gu Xi then solemnly addressed Grand Princess Anna's corpse, saying, "From this moment on, you will be unable to speak, and when you walk, your feet will feel as if they are stepping on knife tips, until the ritual is completed."

After saying Gu Xi put Grand Princess Anna's body back into the pool where the body was being kept warm.

Afterwards, Gu Xi poured all the remaining potion onto the nearby ground and then buried Gu Xi Pea Princess in it.

Next, we just have to wait for the pea to grow.

Gu Xi squatted down where the Pea Princess had been buried and watched.

Before long, a little pea crawled out from the ground.

She first cleaned herself up, then took leaves from the newly grown Pea Vine nearby to make a princess dress, used pea flowers to make a princess crown, and even made a princess carriage.

Although she was rather small, her creations were full of magical effects and were completed very quickly. The entire princess's entourage was finished in less than fifteen minutes.

After finishing everything, the Pea Princess glanced at Gu Xi.

It seemed to be waiting there for Gu Xi's orders.

However, Gu Xi did not give any orders. He planted the Pea Princess so that Grand Princess Anna could take her place.

He really had no orders he could use against the Pea Princess.

Of course, Gu Xi can assign several tasks for the Pea Princess to complete.

But looking at the Pea Princess's big eyes, Gu Xi felt a pang of pity.

He was waiting for the Pea Princess to die, and now he was giving Pea Princess a task—what do you call it, making use of waste? So the two of them just stared at each other.

Fifteen minutes later, the Pea Princess, unable to Gu Xi, closed her eyes somewhat unwillingly.

Only then did Gu Xi begin the next step of the ceremony. He placed the Pea Princess's body into the carriage and then placed the entire ceremonial regalia on the Evilwood Lake.

Grand Princess Anna's body was then placed in Evilwood Lake and carried to the shore by the lake water.

The two bodies were placed side by side.

There was no Prince, nor any ball or anything like that, but Gu Xi could see a green aura drifting from the Pea Princess's body toward Grand Princess Anna's corpse.

At the same time, some black liquid gushed from Grand Princess Anna's body. This black liquid, carrying the strange power that Grand Princess Anna had not yet cleansed, flowed towards Pea Princess.

Within these black liquids, the Pea Princess's entourage slowly melted and disappeared.

But something different began to appear in Grand Princess Anna.

For example, a green princess dress made of leaves, and a pale purple princess crown on her head.

It could be said that the pomp and circumstance that Pea Princess should have received were now being transferred to Grand Princess Anna.

At the same time, Grand Princess Anna's aura was also changing.

Although not like Pea Princess, whose demeanor had returned to its state immediately after death, Gu Xi could clearly see that Grand Princess Anna's condition was improving.

Unfortunately, the Pea Princess was of low quality, and the ritual was quickly interrupted when the Pea Princess's carriage and the corpse were melted away by the black liquid.

The remaining black liquid, mixed with a strange power, flowed back into Grand Princess Anna's body.

At this point, Gu Xi could see that the ceremony was successful and Grand Princess Anna had a chance to summon her soul.
