"Things like self-esteem..."
Noelle subconsciously wanted to refute.
But she was silent for a while, then took a deep breath, bit her lip and nodded: "Maybe, you are right..."
At this point, it is impossible to deceive oneself and others. It makes little sense.
She is just avoiding the problem, or... she is just looking for death.
After realizing his mistake, Noelle did not continue to choose to escape.
"...Maybe I don't only have courage."
Her voice was low, and her words cut into her vital points like a sharp scalpel: "It would be better to say...On the contrary, I am looking for courage through this method - if I can survive this near-death crisis, I may be able to persevere through the despair until the dawn of time. After all, cutting flesh with a dull knife is more painful than a sharp edge."< /p>
"Huh, just understand."
Aiwass looked at Noelle who was excited again, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "But, this is a new moon ceremony. Let me state in advance, I won’t let you—when it’s time to kill you, I will kill you too.”
“It’s okay, that’s the way it should be. But let me tell you in advance that I will never be killed.”< /p>
The eldest princess Noelle raised her head, looked at Aiwass and said seriously: "When you say 'I no longer need to cooperate with you,' we will go to war.
< p>"But I can swear that I will never attack you...I also hope that you will not do this to me. ""I swear in the name of Si Zhu. "
Aiwass nodded and answered seriously.
After he said that, he turned back to look at the guests.
After Andrea was captured by him After being petrified, those guests regained their composure, but their faces changed from "happy" to "unhappy" and they no longer danced on the dance floor.
Obviously, the portrait has been biased. In "Friends Who Are No Longer Laughing", Xiangyue has once again regained its original sadness and relief.
And this degree of abnormality is itself a reminder -
What if. Let the banquet continue as usual, and completing [Celebration and Carnival] corresponds to "Laughing Friends" or "Endless Banquet", which means that the story is determined to be "everyone reveling together to celebrate the promotion of the host of the banquet to an apostle"; and If everyone is killed, completing the mission [Madness and Killing] will correspond to "Friends Who No longer Laugh", that is, "After the death of Zagreus, those who killed him or came to celebrate The guests were all attracted and all were killed"...
——So what does [Funeral and Sacrifice] correspond to?
"Wait, sacrifice..."< /p>
Aiwass suddenly looked at the pure white bust of Si Zhu, and his pupils shrank slightly.
He realized what that choice was——
If Cain is fake and Sasha is fake, but they appear at this banquet at the same time...exceptApart from the fact that this is a "hoax to lure everyone in and kill them", there is another explanation to the contrary.
Sasha also looks different from Sister Sasha... It can be understood that she is indeed not Sasha, but "the actor who plays Sister Sasha"!
Following this line of thought, we can also explain why Cain is so weak.
Because this is a grand ceremony in itself.
The essence of ritual art, a mysterious skill that transcends the path, is to replace weakness with strength.
By using low-level "symbols", the information between the two is confused in a specific field, thus serving as a substitute for high-level things in the dream world that only looks at information!
[——Imitate what others do until they do what you do, and others cannot tell the difference between the two]
Aiwass still remembers that this was recorded in " Basic Principles of the Title Page of "Common Ritual Science".
Although he has been able to use great rituals for a long time, and the Sin Scholar himself has the ability to amplify rituals, Aiwass rarely has the opportunity to use rituals. Basically, the rituals he performed were either promotion rituals or auxiliary rituals to seal the phantom.
Because he does not have the need to "defeat the strong with the weak". If so, the phantoms he sealed would be enough to fight against them, thus making him the "stronger one".
Now Aiwass has recalled a lot of knowledge about rituals in his mind.
The funeral itself is a sacred ceremony.
In this way, an incredibly powerful soul can be laid to rest. Even the deceased in the fifth or even sixth level can be buried by completing the funeral rites.
Then the question comes...a ritual that can affect the sixth energy level in the material world, what is it imitating? What are you confusing again?
Where did the sleeping ritual used to prevent the birth of the undead come from?
Who was the first person buried? Why does its soul rest? Why can the earth seal its soul?
"...Amber."
Aiwass murmured.
——The first thing to be buried on the earth was "Taboo".
The so-called land where the soul can rest is [Amber]!
If you put it that way... the little winged girl curled up and sleeping in the amber crystal is most likely not amber.
But [taboo]! !
The shell surrounding her is amber!
Even the taboos were buried in silence, so mortal souls naturally cannot resist this natural principle.
Since the "funeral" is sacred enough to involve the realm of the Pillar God... it is even a repeat of the Pillar God's events. That is to say, the funeral ceremony itself can involve the Pillar God...
Thinking of this, Aiwass once again glanced at the pure white bust of Si Zhu with a strange smile.
“I understand"..."
Aiwass took a deep breath, feeling a little palpitated for this promotion ceremony.
He suddenly took a few steps forward and stood in front of the statue of the candle maker. Next, he spoke to the silent guests:
"The host is dead... Now I will host the funeral. "
The young pope said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the faces of the guests once again burst into smiles.
Aiwass looked at the eldest princess Noa Er: "Please give me a silver knife. "
"A ceremonial knife? Okay..."
Although Noelle didn't quite understand what Mr. "Sun" was going to do, she still touched the silver plate on the table.
Her pupils It shone with bright yellow light, and the silver dinner plate melted into a sharp silver ceremonial knife in her hands.
Aiwass looked around, and then used it to cut herself.
The guests became excited when they saw this.
They gathered around Aiwass, but Noelle had no idea what was happening.
But the next moment, she suddenly screamed in panic——
——Aiwass suddenly inserted the ceremonial knife into her eye socket, gouging out her eyes directly. Come out!
"I offer my compassionate eyes to the host of the banquet..."
Aiwass's voice became compassionate and ethereal. A branch suddenly emerged from the right eye, and a white flower bloomed.
“And I will offer my flesh and blood to the host of the banquet. "
People said in unison: "Go to the endless feast! ”
Someone knelt in front of Aiwass, guiding the blind Aiwass, and put his hand on his neck.
The next moment, Aiwass wiped out the It fell off his neck.
His blood did not fall to the ground, but a trace of golden divine blood flew up - it was drawn out and sprinkled on the white bust of Si Zhu!
p>The statue of Si Zhu was stained with a little bit of blood, but it radiated brilliance.
This is definitely not what mortal blood can do.
Nuo. Al's pupils trembled: "This is... why? ”
“Because they ate the flesh and blood of the host of the banquet. "
While mechanically drawing the knife to behead people, Aiwass took the time to reply in a low voice: "Now is the time to repay. "
This is the candle ceremony.
"The host of the banquet wanted to go to the dream world, so he showed great mercy and held the last banquet in his life-dividing his own flesh and blood. To all the guests. "
Aiwass replied, also describing his understanding of the painting: "He held a dragon-slaying ceremony and fought to death. His flesh and blood were eaten by the dragon-slaying heroes according to his last wish. That's the Dragon Clan's...'Heroes' Banquet'.
“They had no hatred towards the host of the banquet, but admired his generosity. Therefore, after Sister Sasha completed her self-sacrifice and ascended to the dreamAfter entering the world, these friends who had tasted dragon blood and dragon meat in the past gathered together.
"In order to allow each other to ascend to the dream world together and participate in the 'Endless Banquet' held by the host of the banquet, they prepared a ritual - imitating and reproducing Sister Sasha's ritual.
“A holy burial...a sacrifice of oneself.
“And since it is a ceremony imitating Sister Sasha, someone must be the blind host.
“She is not here to host the dance, but to bring the guests together. The soul of the banquet is introduced into the banquet..."
In this way, the host of the banquet will become complete again.
The flesh and blood sacrificed in the past have been returned, and he will become better than before. Even more sacred.
There is only one difference.
One of the guests secretly hid a piece of the liver, so He was never consummated.
——That is not the "liver of the fool", but the "liver of the host"!
"This is not a painting with wrong details, but it is indeed 'history' that happened... I'm too arrogant. ”
When all the guests were killed, Si Zhu was still not covered with all the blood.
The guests Andrea killed were indeed very important to Ai Wensi had an impact - without that blow, it would have been just right.
Aiwass sighed and handed over the blood-stained ceremonial knife. He looked at the already frightened eldest princess and said calmly: "Have you ever skinned it? Do me a favor. "
"...No, no..."
"It doesn't matter, it's not difficult. Cut off my hands, chop off my legs, peel off a piece of skin from my back, and then kill me - the remaining blood should be enough. My sanctity should be enough for this ritual. "
Aiwass said gently: "Don't worry, this is not your backstab... This is my own request. "
"...Are you, are you going to prepare for resurrection? "
The eldest princess held the ceremonial knife tightly, her hands trembling: "Kill me to...resurrection? "
Her remaining sanity prevented her from understanding Aiwass's crazy behavior: "Do you just...want to win so much? ”
“If you don’t have the determination to win, how can you face all the difficulties in this world? "
Aiwass asked back.
He showed an encouraging smile: "If you don't want me to get up from your body, then just try to live. .
