Baptism slots?
Qin Ran froze.
Qin Ran was no stranger to matters concerning "Baptism."
Nikelei's collection contained no shortage of introductions to such rituals, but Qin Ran had never expected that whoever had stolen the Thorn Grail had done so for a Baptism.
More importantly, someone capable of conducting a Baptism ritual...

"And he promised that as long as we completed the tasks they assigned us, he would perform a Baptism for us too!"
Meltzer nodded repeatedly.
