Eternal Winter
After leaving the hotel as the address, Neph said goodbye to Trapp,
She has no plans to rent a house for the time being, because she is not sure how long she can stay at Backlund. Great Smog is crying. If Great Smog ends and her role is completed, then she should prepare for subsequent promotions and roles. If it is not completed, Backlund is not a suitable place to continue playing "Faded Painter".
Sequence 5's universal ascension requires Ritual. After returning to the hotel, Neph was thinking about this matter, and the spirit body entered the Pure White space.
This is still the same Pure White snow country. Spiritual bodies cannot leave footprints on the snow, so the snowflakes in the air will no longer fall. Neph walked two steps silently, and then randomly wrapped a piece of falling snow with Spirituality.
She saw a vast white ground, with people wearing oil-painted robes, covered in various colors of paint, dancing in strange and weird dances.
Neph took back Spirituality. This was not the first time she had seen similar things in this Pure White Space. After Blank Canvas became a door to her Mind World, she had tried here several times and found that these snowflakes solidified in the air had a special meaning.
Every snowflake here stores a memory.
Neph's Spirituality spread out, and along with her will, the surrounding scene seemed unchanged, but Neph knew something had changed.
She grabbed Spirituality and pulled a snowflake close to her, then pushed aside its coat to reveal the truth inside.
That is a copy of Potion.
This Potion is very strange. Its outer layer is made of translucent white ice crystals, which tightly wraps the dark blue liquid inside. Neph did not reach out to touch it. Her eyes fell on another thing in the air. The fading snowflake shell condensed in mid-air and turned into a Pure White, ash-like tissue paper.
This is what Neph realized. Her Spirituality explored it, ignored the irrelevant parts, and captured what she was really interested in:
Sequence 5: Memory Collector Main material:.
Auxiliary materials:-.
Promotion Ritual: Prepare a treasure 1 for the Memory Collection Hall
"The treasure of the town hall·" Neph repeated the word in a low voice, with a relaxed expression.
She thought that there was nothing more suitable as a "treasure of the museum" than a complete copy of "Lord of the Mysteries" - after all, even Great Old One, who specializes in memory, was curious about this book.
The copy of Potion still stayed in place, and the ash-like paper had broken into pieces and disappeared. Neph rubbed his fingertips and began to think.
I don't need to prepare for Sequence 5's promotion to Ritual. What I need is to act - "Memory Collector". - Well, I actually have enough precious memories to support this Sequence. As long as I behave like a "Memory Collector", my Potion's digestion speed must be very fast. I can't digest it directly. Determined, then, the Potion of Demigod "Eternal Winter Priest" is a white ice mist. Like the Potion of the previous Sequence, it is bound by an unknown force. Neph looked at it thoughtfully, and then turned up the corresponding Record in his mind.
Sequence 4: Eternal Winter Priest Main material:.
Auxiliary materials:-
Promotion Ritual: Present a satisfactory sacrifice to "Eternal Winter"
...?
Eternal Winter-?
No, wait, who is "Eternal Winter"?
Neph opened her eyes wide, and she realized almost instantly who this "Eternal Winter" was - this was the Great Old One at the top of her.
"How do I know what kind of sacrifice I will be satisfied with?" Neph opened his eyes wide in shock, looking at the Pure White space, with a ridiculous expression on his face, "And he is most likely dead! How can I offer a sacrifice to a dead Great Old One?"
Neph took two steps back, the mistake on her face was almost impossible to hide. Her first reaction was whether the sacrifice could be dedicated to herself. After all, she held Sefirah in her hand, and the imposter seemed to be feasible, but Neph soon felt that this was absolutely impossible. There was no complicated reason, but her intuition told her that it would not work.
As a Beyonder, she will of course trust her own intuition. In fact, even if she thinks rationally, Neph does not think this plan is feasible. If it is feasible, it only means that she is not a collection at all, she is the sacrifice!
But, in this case, how on earth am I going to complete this Ritual Neph returned to Real World in confusion, looking confused and puzzled.
She knows that the essence of Pusheng Ritual is to help Beyonder stabilize its state and prevent it from getting out of control. Since the Ritual of "Eternal Winter Priest" is to the so-called "Eternal Winter" offered a sacrifice, which shows a high probability that the ultimate goal of this Ritual is to win the attention of this Great Old One, so that this Great Old One can protect the believers in the process of their universal ascension.
This Ritual is of course replaceable. Theoretically speaking, as long as she understands how she will be affected when she is promoted, she can try to find God who has the corresponding Authority, or some other existence, and find a way to get the other party to help.
But here's the problem - she can't do it!
How can people who have never experienced universal ascension know what kind of impact they will receive during universal ascension?
Neph took a breath, her face looked confused. She found that she couldn't even find a senior as a reference, because she was probably the only one walking on this Pathway on the entire earth!
-What should I do?
Neph thought for a few seconds in confusion, and the pen tip in his hand unconsciously dropped the name he just saw on the paper - "Eternal Winter".
When gathering her thoughts, Neph saw the name lying on White Paper at first sight. She shook her head and her expression became thoughtful. Eternal Winter-It doesn't sound like it has much to do with memory? There should be other Honorific Name, right? This is one of them?
Neph raised his hand and grabbed the piece of paper, took out the lighter from the side and lit it.
Seeing the piece of paper turned into ashes in the flames, Neph sighed, rubbed his brows, and said to himself:
"Let's do some research on acting first - maybe I should go shopping at Backlund East Borough? Well, this seems like you can really find it -"
She paused and did not say Klein's name Exit, but just recalled the result of the conversation Trapp Lawyer.
Well, Raypard said that he needed some time to make an appointment with Lawyer, and they finally set the formal negotiation time for a week later.
In other words, if I need to find an experienced Detective to protect me when I go to Backlund East Borough, then I can bring it up during the negotiation. Neph nodded with satisfaction for this plan, and then couldn't help but chuckle:
"Well, that's reasonable."
