"Sign... a contract?"
As if the handsome Pegasus came from a fairy tale town and should be walking by the colorful river, waving her white wings, she came to reality and extended such an invitation to Bai Zhou.
Bai Zhou suddenly felt that this scene should happen to Gem Witch, and the other party should not call him a knight.
It should be waving its tail like Magic Staff, shouting to Gem Witch, "Sign the contract, Magical Girl!"
This familiar saying on Blue Star is also recorded in <Black Cat Naughty Eight Thousand Questions>, which left a deep impression on Bai Zhou. But Pegasus is Pegasus, which is made up of Ritual, and which comes from Bai Zhou.
"You, you are my Troy little Wooden Horse..." Bai Zhou still can't believe that that weird pony who shouted "Troy Troy wake up" when they first met will one day turn into what he looks like in front of him.
Neither wooden nor small.
The tall Pegasus has unparalleled beauty, pure white and flawless, full of fascinating charm.
"Yes."
The crisp female voice echoed in Bai Zhou's ears again.
Ma said one by one or said, it was she who said:
"I'm yours."
"No..." Bai Zhou waved his hand and opened his mouth in silence.
What's yours and mine;... that's not what I meant.
Bai Zhou muttered in his heart.
But then, an invisible feeling quietly appeared between him and Pegasus.
contract.
In a quiet secret room, a sacred moment that no one knows about.
The knight signed a contract with Pegasus.
They will go on adventures far away together.
"Herod"
Pegasus neighs.
The sleeves of the windbreaker were flying, and Bai Zhou turned over and got on the horse.
The horse was leaning back, and the two hooves in front were flying in the air, so that Bai Zhou, who tightened his legs around the horse's waist, felt that he should have a knight's spear in his hand. At this moment, inside the secret room, the beautiful scene was even a bit romantic.
If Fang Xiaoxia sees it, not only Fang Xiaoxia's Blood Shadow historian will have an intracranial orgasm, but even Fang Xiaoxia himself will probably faint from excitement. It's like a fairy tale, descending here.
Not long after, Bai Zhou walked out of the secret room, rode the flapping Pegasus, and returned to the center of Sun Temple.
With a leering look in his eyes, the young man is riding a horse with a heroic appearance.
"Indeed;..."
Wolf Knight Statue The rubies at his eyes flashed twice.
"It looks a bit better."
"What?" Bai Zhou turned around to look, and Pegasus underneath him fell to the ground, his wings stretched out and stirred up the dust on the ground.
When Bai Zhou turned over and dismounted, he heard Wolf Knight Statue say slowly:
"A coincidence of fate always makes people happy."
"Trojan Horse, who was awakened by Ritual, happens to represent me, Troy Civilization, who will always be by your side."
Although his voice is rather mechanical, Bai Zhou must admit that what Wolf Knight Statue said actually has a romantic temperament. But...
I don't know if it's Bai Zhou's illusion.
After telling what happened to Crown of Thorns, Bai Zhou felt that Wolf Knight Statue seemed to be much more warm and friendly to him.
Could it be that you are afraid that you will not be able to withstand the temptation and defect to the Xiluo Empire?
Competition has arisen.
Bai Zhou was thinking strangely.
Sure enough, it is most popular when someone grabs it.
"The Ritual named [Achilles' Wrath] has reached the peak of power and effect that a first-order Ritual can achieve."
Wolf Knight Statue said again:
"In other words, even a quasi-Lifeforger may not be able to withstand the head-on collision of this Pegasus that has been charging for long enough."
"But for Ritualist, its greatest value is not at all."
The voice of Wolf Knight pauses here for a moment.
"Rugged mountain roads, poisonous swamps, trap ruins, Evil Spirit dense forests..."
"Under the influence of Ritual, it has strong adaptability to various dangerous environments and can isolate you from external interference to a certain extent."
"This plays a vital role for Ritualist."
"Because, compared to Adventurer who only venture to various dangerous places out of interest...Ritualists, the further they reach the later stage, the more they have to explore the ruins of various dangerous places."
"But;..."
Wolf Knight also said, "Adventurer's participation in more adventures will also help in the professional performance of this platform's identity, which can help Adventurer lay a solid foundation and stabilize his promotion."
"Therefore, adventures in dangerous ruins are often a good thing for the rare Destined One who have mastered both Adventurer and Ritualist." Taking more adventures helps to stabilize the route, and going to dangerous ruins is a hard need for Ritualist...
It's really like stepping on the left foot and the right foot, pushing each other up to the sky.
Bai Zhou muttered in his heart, and then heard Wolf Knight Statue continue:
"But;..."
Its gaze fell on Pegasus next to Bai Zhou:
"This little Wooden Horse seems to have acquired some magical powers that I don't know about over the long years."
"Let's not mention the storage function for now. After the injection of Ritual, in addition to the abilities that [Achilles' Wrath] should have, I also saw some strange potential dormant in its body..."
"Perhaps you have an idea of this?"
Wolf Knight Statue asked, and when he saw Bai Zhou's expression was startled at first, then he suddenly smiled.
"That's..."
Bai Zhou considered the words and answered loudly, "It is a gift left by a great teacher."
Sea of Ignorance in the body, the word [Light] is looming on the rough sea surface, glowing faintly in the undulating waves.
This word [Light] given to Bai Zhou by Laia echoes with some kind of power dormant in the body of pure white Pegasus. It is like some kind of remote control switch. Just wait for Bai Zhou's thought to release the surging light in Pegasus's body.
Thinking like this, Bai Zhou's eyes fell on the majestic and energetic Pegasus beside him.
It's hard to imagine that this is actually the "piggy bank" he has been using, a toy-like Troy and a small Wooden Horse.
I have to admit that the so-called Ritual really has the effect of turning decay into magic.
But this is still not the second-order Ritual, it is just the theoretical pinnacle of the first-order Ritual... So Pegasus is not the real Pegasus. Its essence is still just the activated Wooden Horse, which is just a little awakened to the intelligence, just like the weakened Spirit-Name Secret Treasure.
If it is the real second-order Ritual...
Bai Zhou couldn't help but have expectations for the future in his heart.
"The mystery of Ritual is worthy of Ritualist's lifelong exploration."
At this time, Wolf Knight Statue's eyes turned around:
"You must have a preliminary understanding of the need to advance to level two Ritual from Parchment Scroll."
"In my opinion, the matter of condensation [deed] will fall on the Xiluo Empire."
"Pact Condensation..."
Bai Zhou chewed on these two words and compared them with the knowledge he had just acquired in his mind.
<Pact Condensation-Ritualist's second-level promotion>?
"Destined One people, in the Lifeforger stage, you must practice Destiny Contract."
Wolf Knight Statue explained aloud in simple and popular language:
"As for Ritualist, starting from the second level of the Lifeforger stage, we have to start with another thing, the condensation of [Qi]!"
"Although the name of [Deed] is similar to Destiny Contract, the two are not the same concept at all."
The voice of Wolf Knight Statue pauses here for a moment:
"To be specific, after reaching the second level, the Ritualists will be able to deploy the second level Ritual, control the wind and rain, and change the celestial phenomena... Both in terms of power and range, they are completely different from the first level Ritual."
"But again, if you want to arrange a huge Ritual of that level, you usually need extremely stringent site requirements. There are outrageously strict standards for materials, sites, and time. You can't make any mistakes."
"For example, some Ritual have to be installed in a Frostvale that is shrouded in wind and snow all year round, while some Ritual have to be installed in an extraordinary volcano that is hot and burning all year round."
"Once they are successfully deployed, their power will be incredible, and the effect will never be comparable to that of the same-level path Destined One!"
"However, in reality, how is it possible for Ritualists to always find the environment they like? How is it possible that there are always unique fields that meet Ritual's strict needs and are exactly the same?"
Hearing this, Bai Zhou nodded, deeply convinced.
Just like when Major Luo arranged for Ritual to summon Demon, he first manipulated the real Tinghai, and then piled up Meat Mountain deep in the Reflection Ruins Realm's school. It took a long time and countless efforts to summon School Demon.
The more powerful Ritual is, the more complicated it will be. This is also the limit imposed by fate on the strong.
If the powerful Ritual could be used anywhere, Ritualist would no longer be a niche aristocratic profession.
In Mystic World, many powerful holy objects and even artifacts, like King of Lustful Evils, have extremely high requirements for the carrying environment... Just like Bai Zhou in the Ruins Realm's Yuanmeng Middle School, will become a powerful "Principal Zhou" - although he cannot stay in Yuanmeng Middle School all his life without coming out.
Demon should sink into hell, Deity should live in heaven forever.
Ritualist's troubles are the same.
"Being able to solve this problem to a certain extent is the reason why Second-Order Ritualists are second-order."
Wolf Knight Statue said again:
"Because, they have already condensed the [contract] in their bodies!"
[Deed]!
Bai Zhou's eyes flickered, and the knowledge in his mind mentioned this particularly important concept many times.
"The sealing of Celestial Pivot at the first level is the foundation of Ritualist. Just like my artificial intelligence, it needs the underlying running code."
Wolf Knight Statue said in a deep voice:
"But the [Contract] after the second level is what truly accompanies Ritualists throughout their lives, equivalent to the software loading and hardware updates of my artificial intelligence."
"Three deeds can reach the second level, and nine deeds can reach the third level... If it is Ritualist of Baiqi, even Troy back then was a very important and powerful person!"
"It is somewhat similar to how Lifeforger shaped Personal Destiny, distorting and covering the world's destiny in a small area...Ritualists simply use the existence of [contract] to carry those "special fields" that are suitable for Ritual, so that they can be used at any time."
Three contracts enter the second level?
Nine Deeds promoted to third level?
Will it adapt to the field of Ritual and carry it with you at any time?
While Bai Zhou's eyes flickered, he carefully studied the knowledge about "qi" in his mind, and simultaneously compared it with Wolf Knight Statue's explanation. "I see..."
As the understanding gradually deepened, Bai Zhou gradually understood the mystery of "contract", and his eyes were full of brilliance.
"The so-called condensation [contract], to be simply understood, is that Ritualists understand, imitate and reproduce those special dangerous environment, sign a similar contract with them, and imprint the environment on themselves in miniature like a painting."
"In this way, Ritualists imitated and intercepted the true meaning of the field and carried it with them."
"For example..."
Wolf Knight Statue gives specific instructions:
"In Troy back then, there was a famous dangerous place called Winter Mountains. The snow had not melted for three hundred and forty years. Among them was a mountain called "Frosthowl Cliff". It contained a special spirituality and had special frost properties. It was known as the Holy Land of Frost in Second-Order Ritualist!"
"Ritualist who have just entered the second level have been exploring this place all year round, sensing the world on the cliff top where the wind and snow never stop day and night, and then communicating with the environment, and "imprinting" every rock and wisp of wind and snow in the environment into their own bodies."
The voice of Wolf Knight Statue pauses here for a moment:
"Once the branding is successful, Ritualist's body will be equivalent to having a small miniature version of "Frosthowl Cliff"!"
"When you need to deploy Ritual, you only need to use the corresponding contract as the basis of the field. You can bypass the originally harsh environmental requirements and quickly deploy the powerful Ritual that could only be deployed in Frosthowl Cliff in any environment."
Bai Zhou thought thoughtfully, "So... the purpose of the deed is to replace the site required by Ritual?"
Wolf Knight Statue nodded and made imaginary strokes in the air with his big stone hand.
With a "buzz" sound, dark red spirituality circulated in the air, sketching out several concise diagrams:
"A second-order Ritual usually requires a specific field environment to activate."
"For example, there is a Ritual here, called "Ever-Burning Coffin". It needs to be placed in a field of extreme inflammation of at least two thousand degrees, and the concentration of fire attribute spirituality in the field is required to reach a certain proportion."
"Under normal circumstances, you must personally travel to special fire-related hazards."
"But, Pact Condensation will come next"
Wolf Knight Statue's stone hand tapped lightly in the air, and the volcano on the pattern erupted instantly:
"If you have a bond related to the dangerous land of fire imprinted in your body, you can activate it anywhere and temporarily build a small special field around it, simulating the extremely flaming environment required by Ritual."
"Although the range and concentration are far less than those in real dangerous areas, and the effect of Ritual will be weakened accordingly, it is freed from the constraints of the environment, giving Ritualist the confidence to move freely and fight against any Destined One without fear of restraint."
"And..."
Wolf Knight Statue added:
"A powerful Ritual often requires more than one [deed] to be deployed... Even in the later stages, Ritual's requirements for the type of deed will become extremely complicated."
"More suitable combinations are the threshold for the formation of advanced Ritual!"
As he spoke, Wolf Knight Statue waved his stone hand, and the mid-air pattern was reorganized again. Several lines were intertwined into a complex array pattern. "Look at this [Heavenfire City Incineration], it is the famous Baqi Ritual."
"It requires five [Fire Deeds], two [Wind Deeds], and one [Earth Deed] at the same time, a total of eight deeds as the foundation of the field to support the successful deployment of Ritual."
"Another example..."
In mid-air, the dark red spiritual pattern continued to change, turning into a new complex structure:
"[Mirage], a four-deed Ritual used for large-scale illusions."
"It requires two water bonds to provide the water vapor medium, one light bond to construct light refraction, and one illusion bond to fill the illusion details." Wolf Knight said seriously:
"Without any one of the One and Four Dao Deeds, Ritual cannot be established!"
"So..." Bai Zhou nodded and thought, "Is this why Ritualist has a hard requirement to visit various ruins and dangerous places all year round?" "That's right." Wolf Knight Statue nodded.
"Pact Condensation There is no shortcut, every Ritualist is a hard journeyer."
"Each mark of the Dao Deed represents the Ritualists' difficult exploration in a special and dangerous place, the dangers of which are unspeakable."
"Statistics prove that there are far more Second-Order Ritualists who died in the Pact Condensation process than Ritualists who died in battle." "However, there is one point that deserves extra attention."
Wolf Knight Statue added:
"Famous mountains and swamps, snowy islands and seas. In theory, even a Ordinary volcano can condense the bond and advance to the second level." "However, if it is a powerful and dangerous complex field, if you observe and imitate it, the bond you can imitate and condense will be stronger, and there may be more than one."
Wolf Knight Statue specifically emphasizes:
"Even, "Legendary Pact" condensed in some extremely special environments, with the Ritual effect brought by its display field, under the same Ritual, the power will be far superior to others!"
"For example, the legendary secret contract condensed from the "Silent Abyss" of Troy back then, once used, can silence all nearby Ritual... It can even pollute the field of hostile Ritualist and force its Ritual to Usurpation!"
"Legendary Pact"?
Upon hearing this term, Bai Zhou's pupils shrank.
"Although, the difficulty of doing this will also increase significantly, but..."
Wolf Knight Statue looked at Bai Zhou seriously:
"Heir Bai Zhou, you are the only descendant of my Troy Civilization, so of course you cannot fall behind others."
"If I could..."
"For an Ritualist like you who owns Celestial Pivot and has a strong foundation, it is best not to Pact Condensation in an environment that is too ordinary to avoid contaminating the foundation and damaging future potential."
"Fortunately, in the Xiluo Empire, there is never a shortage of special ruins and ancient dangerous places."
"Xiluo Empire... huh?"
Bai Zhou Listening, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something.
A special field, a condensed contract that is different?
The number of [deeds] condensed with it will be more than one?
And...[Legendary Pact]?
If so...
If that's the case...
"Speaking of which, this so-called special ruins, ancient and dangerous place..."
Bai Zhou looked around at the Divine Hall, his gaze seemed to be looking through the floor under his feet into the distance, his eyes unavoidably filled with expectation:
"The Battlefield Ruins under our feet, the Sky City of this Troy, and Perfect meet those conditions?"
"If we use this Pact Condensation, what kind of bond can be condensed? How many bonds can be condensed?"
Or even, is it possible to condense the so-called...
What about [Legendary Pact]?
