The ritual's response
Lorry was taken aback, and a surge of joy immediately welled up in his heart.
He quickly took out some more Spirituality materials, preparing to respond to the other party, when he heard the voice from the altar suddenly turn cold and stern:
How do you know about this Ritual Magic?
"As far as I know, the person who has it is not nearby. You have three minutes to think about how to answer the previous questions."
"If you don't answer, or if your answer doesn't satisfy me, then... I'll have no choice but to consider you an enemy and obtain the answer through ' Spirit Channeling '!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Lorry muttered to himself, speechless:
"Stereotypes are harmful... Why does this lady look so fierce? I thought she would be as intellectual, knowledgeable, and beautiful as described in the Original Novel..."
"Of course, it's more likely because of this Ritual Magic... Judging from her tone, it seems important, at least in her mind."
"Although as a Pirate Admiral, it's impossible that he hasn't been stained with blood."
"But at least give me a chance to speak! Do you think I can fool you into selling your collection by so hastily revealing your emotions?"
"Hmm... it's also possible she did it on purpose, worried that I would refuse to communicate."
As he pondered the thoughts of the person opposite him, he smiled and gently wiped the White Bone Ring with his hand, removing the surface layer of Spirituality.
An aged voice rang out irritably. "You've been sealing me away more and more frequently lately, you're even more outrageous than Vera."
"..." Lorry coughed lightly, but did not speak.
This is indeed true.
However, he believed the main reason was that he didn't want to expose this Sealed Artifact to Hugh, and it had absolutely nothing to do with anything else.
Lorry had to Soothing and soothe it before it finally calmed down.
After listening to the voice repeating itself from the altar, "The Curse of Knowledge" remained silent for more than ten seconds before letting out a long sigh:
"She really is a mini Edwina..."
"I never imagined that she would become such a big figure in the world of Mysticism. However, her voice hasn't changed much since she was a child; it's still cold and aloof."
Upon hearing this, Lorry's heart stirred.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the voice of "the Curse of Knowledge" seemed to have gained a touch of elder's kindness.
It knows not only "Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina Edwards.
Moreover, judging from their tone, the relationship seems quite close.
Family elders?
teacher?
As Lorry's thoughts wandered aimlessly, he suddenly heard the voice of "the Curse of Knowledge" ring out with a rather impatient tone:
"Kid, hurry up and respond to her."
Tell her you are a student of Sebastian Verne.
Sebastian Verne?
Is this the Old Gentleman's name before he became Sealed Artifact?
While his thoughts were racing, Lorry didn't slow down at all, throwing large amounts of Spirituality materials into the altar one by one to stabilize the power channel connecting him to the other side.
Following the "Curse of Knowledge," he revealed his identity to the other party.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Call!
Suddenly, the candles on the altar flickered with a ghostly blue light.
A tiny spark of light flashed briefly, then quickly blurred, became transparent, and disappeared.
This is a sign of the ceremony's success.
The Ritual Magic performed by Lorry was named "Star Mark" by the "Curse of Knowledge," and its principle is to communicate over long distances through the Spirit World.
If someone who has left a mark appears within a certain area of Altar, the "Star Mark" transmitted to the Spirit World can pinpoint their location.
After the other party completes the communication, they can also use the "Star Mark" link to relay their message directly to the altar.
That's why he was muttering to himself earlier.
"Vice Admiral Iceberg" Edwina Edwards could at most locate the altar using Mysticism; finding herself was impossible.
Even if she holds the same "Star Mark" ceremony, I can simply ignore it.
This time, the other side remained silent for a long time.
If Lorry hadn't been the one performing the Ritual Magic and sensed that the "Star Mark" wasn't in the Spirit World, he would most likely have assumed that the other party hadn't received the message.
About twenty minutes later, Edwina's voice rang out again:
Tell me one reason why I believe you.
Lorry turned his head to look at the White Bone Ring.
"The Curse of Knowledge" (chuckles)
"Ask her if she remembers the little girl who got her braid pulled by a classmate, beat the classmate up, and then hid and cried secretly?"
Hiss... Lorry couldn't help but gasp after hearing that.
He asked someone for help!
This isn't about digging up the dark history of this female Pirate Admiral!
Lorry was absolutely certain that this answer would convince the other party of his identity, but he seriously doubted that the other party would help him even after believing him.
"Uh, can't we talk about something else?" he asked, looking conflicted.
The "Curse of Knowledge" is applied without hesitation:
"No."
After saying that, it chuckled again:
"Ever since I learned that Edwina Younger had given herself the nickname ' Vice Admiral Iceberg,' I've been eagerly anticipating this day."
"Don't you find it very interesting?"
Unconsciously... and nicknames are probably given by someone else... Lorry really couldn't understand the perverse pleasure of the "Curse of Knowledge".
His mind raced, and an idea quickly came to him:
"However, I think it's more interesting to bring this up face to face."
Just as Criminal like to return to the scene of their murders, fraudsters like to gleefully expose their scams after they've gotten their hands on the evidence.
"Wouldn't that be more fulfilling?"
Upon hearing this, "the Curse of Knowledge" fell silent.
It hesitated for a few seconds, then reluctantly spoke:
"Then tell her that she is my favorite student, the student I have the highest hopes for, but she is not the one I spend the most energy on."
"Will this work?"
Lorry found it hard to accept this seemingly pointless answer, but the "Curse of Knowledge" wouldn't cooperate, and there was nothing he could do.
Lorry sighed silently and had no choice but to do as he was told.
While waiting for a reply, he casually asked:
"Shouldn't you spend the most energy on the student you like best and have the highest hopes for? Who is that person?"
The miniature features of the White Bone Ring immediately darkened. "I don't want to mention him!"
"So much resentment?" Lorry thought to himself, then decided not to make a fool of himself.
At that moment, the altar began to glow faintly.
Edwina's voice was no longer cold; it sounded somewhat trembling.
"How is Professor Sebastian? Where are you? Do you need any assistance with your ceremony? I can set off now."
"Old Gentleman, this student cares about you a lot."
Lorry glanced at the White Bone Ring: "I didn't say anything, but I offered to help and was willing to come over on my own initiative, instead of waiting for me to come."
"Is that even a question?" "The Curse of Knowledge" scoffed, seemingly disdainful, but his tone betrayed an undisguised arrogance.
Just as it was about to speak, its voice suddenly turned cold:
"You sneaky little rascal, don't you dare lay a finger on her!"
Lorry was taken aback upon hearing this.
Wait, can Sealed Artifact change their nature this quickly?
