The transformation ceremony of the Divine Punishment Army is a knowledge that the Pope must master. A year ago, when Mayn received the Divine Punishment Book from Oberlein's crown, it was equivalent to obtaining the inheritance of the next pope.
The contents of the book, Mayn had already memorized it. A Divine Punishment Army needed to sacrifice the life of a witch, merge her blood with the Divine Punishment Stone, and inject it into the body of the Divine Punishment Army.
This set of rituals has been improved several times in hundreds of years of use, but the essence has not changed. The witch is the upper limit of the number of Divine Punishment Army, and the will of the Judgment Army is the key to determining the success rate of transformation.
After reading this book, he realized why the church has to host so many underage women every year.
There is no warning about the appearance of the witches. Before the magic gathers, they are no different from normal people.
Once the magic begins to gather, their bodies, organs, and blood will be changed.
So there is no other way except to expand the scale of feeding.
This is also the reason why he agreed with Heather's statement. Everything they did was extremely evil. Every senior executive was covered in blood. They slaughtered more witches than any executioner.
But in order to defeat the devil and to avoid the destruction of humanity, they must continue to do so.
Only those who win are qualified to be favored by God.
……
The two judges were lying on the transformation table, and Mayn knew them, namely Dalyn of the advance camp and Taktor of the Quds Guard, who was also a presiding judge.
Although both of them were smiling, the Bishop could still see the tension in their tense muscles and their clenched fists.He patted the two of them on the shoulders, relax, I believe you can do it.
Adults, will you just endure the pain then be fine?Dallion couldn't help asking.
That's right, just hold on, Mayn smiled and said, "Your name is Dallion, right?"
You still remember my name.He said excitedly.
Of course, you are a member of the advance battalion and participated in the defense of Hermez in the last year. The captain was... Aleshia, am I right?
Yes, Dallian nodded repeatedly, our team suffered heavy casualties in a battle, and half of the team members died at the hands of mixed evil beasts. I thought at the time that I would have the ability to kill all those deformed bastards.So, sir, I want to be a God's Punishment Army!
Becoming strong to protect your comrades is a good belief, Mayn encourages, and then he looks at the presiding judge, so what about you?Why did Taktor decide to transform into a Divine Punishment Army?
In order to defend the new holy city, he said firmly, the priests said that the evil beasts will become stronger and stronger every year in the future. The last time they had touched the walls of the holy city. If it weren't for the Divine Punishment Army, the cathedral might have been destroyed.I also want to be a strong shield to resist evil beasts and a spear to penetrate the enemy.
Very good, you are all the pride of the church. Mayn followed the steps explained in the scriptures and used conversation to resolve their tension and fear. Seeing that the two of them gradually became high, he waved his hand and signaled that the ceremony continued.
The guard stepped forward to cover the two of them and used his bracelets and foot rings to secure the limbs to the conversion table.Then the witch was brought in and placed flat between the two.
As a witch raised by the church, she spent most of her life in the monastery of the Old Holy City. After she awakens, she will be sent to the secret area as a material to wait for transformation.
The day before the sacrifice, she had been poured into a large amount of dream water, a herb made of sleeping ferns and winter flowers, ensuring that no sound during the ceremony would wake her up.
Number, age?
Number 1, eighteen years old.The guard replied.
This is a routine inquiry. Only the blood of the adult witch can meet the needs of transforming two divine punishment troops at the same time. After Mayn checked the witch list again, he announced that the ceremony began.
An exquisite silver needle was inserted into the witch's arm, and the reddish-brown blood flowed out along the skin tube wrapped behind the silver needle and gathered into the crystal basin under her.
There was a light blue divine punishment stone at the bottom of the basin. The blood gradually soaked the stone and finally filled the entire basin.
Soon, the Stone of Divine Punishment changed.
Through the side of the basin, you can see that the blue stone is absorbing blood. After about half a quarter of an hour, the stone gradually melted and disappeared, the turbid blood became clear and the color also changed from reddish-brown to sky blue.
These operations seem simple, but after tens of thousands of tests, a complete and reliable set of steps was obtained.
For example, the estimation of the blood volume of witches at different ages and body shapes, the production of silver needles and skin tubes, which part of the body is inserted to discharge blood, which part of the body is inserted to inject blood transfusion, and the quality and weight of the Divine Punishment Stone, etc. The classics record in detail the failed experiments and improvements, and also explain the general principles of transformation.
After the witch's body was transformed by magic, its blood was accompanied by the ability to strengthen organs and tendons. If used directly, it would only kill the blood recipient instantly.
The Stone of Divine Punishment must be soaked in the blood of the witch and dissolved the unknown power in it before it can be injected into the transformer's body. Even so, this blood will damage the mind and cause it to gradually lose emotions and intelligence, and eventually only instinct and part of the strong will remain.
The surviving Divine Punishment Army is equivalent to that of an extraordinary person, and when he does not wear the Divine Punishment Stone, he can also have the effect of forbidden demons.
It has to be said that this is a wonderful combination. The blood of a witch can kill humans, and swallowing the stone of divine punishment will also kill people. However, the combination of the two can actually minimize this adverse effect.
When the blue liquid slowly flowed into the bodies of the two judges along the skin tube, the blue veins on their arms and necks suddenly burst out, with a ferocious expression, as if they were enduring great pain.
Dallion shouted first. He struggled on the stage, his five fingers tightly and open, but his hands and feet were unable to move. After a while, a layer of sweat appeared all over his body.
Tucker wasn't much better either. He let out a low roar, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body twitched.
The liquid level in the crystal basin slowly dropped. When it was almost bottoming out, Dallion's voice had turned into a crying voice. He shouted words of unknown significance, his skin bloomed and dissolved, and white smoke rose all over his body.
Judging from the descriptions in the classics, his transformation was basically on the verge of failure. When Mayn hesitated whether to observe again, the pope pressed his shoulder from behind. Enough, let him be free.
A guard came forward, drew his short sword, and pierced Dalyon's neck cleanly, twisting the hilt of the sword to end his pain.
After a difficult wait, Taktor's twitching calmed down, his breathing gradually stabilized, and his skin went from rosy to light blue.Mayn knew that he had survived the transformation ceremony.
One person succeeded and the other failed. The result made the Lord sigh. In just two quarters of an hour, the church lost a devout judgement army and wasted half of the blood of the witch.
But next sixty judges are waiting for transformation, and he must let the ceremony continue.
……
When the ceremony was completed, Mayn was almost unable to stand. He staggered off the stage and sat down near the hall wall like an ill-behaved.
The Pope slowly crossed over and stood in front of him. To be honest, your performance surprised me, child.When I presided over the ceremony for the first time, it was much worse than you.I was exactly 45 years old that year. The strong smell of blood made me vomit directly on the ceremony table, almost wasting a whole pot of blood.The former pope even beat me hard, but after the blow, he continued to order me to return to the stage and continue to preside over the ceremony.
... Mayn opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
So, don’t think about anything and go back and take a day off.
Yes, the crown.The bishop took a deep breath, knelt down and bowed and was about to say goodbye, and suddenly remembered the purpose of coming. By the way, you asked me to come to the Secret Area for...
Oh, look at my memory, Oberlein shook his head mockingly, I came to you to give you a new poison developed by the mechanism.
poison?There are institutions in the secret area of the organ that specializes in researching the Stone of Divine Punishment, such as the Dehan Pill, Fluorescent Stone, Crazy Crazy Medicine, etc. After the results are obtained, they will be distributed to the bishop for use.
But I have never heard of them having anything to do with poison. In Mayn's impression, this should be what the alchemist is good at.
I heard that the result was achieved entirely by chance.The pope said slowly.
As long as it is scattered on rotten corpses, it can take effect on surrounding people for a long time, and it does not have to be poured into the mouth like ordinary poisons.Without a special antidote, it is basically impossible to cure.For specific situations, you can ask Master Crow Eye. I think it may come in handy in the battle with the four kingdoms.
Mayn immediately thought of the Broken Tooth Castle that he could not capture for a long time and the unpleasant stalemate of the Gray Castle.
He suppressed his joy and bowed again: If this poison is as effective as Master Crow Eye said, then it can indeed help me a lot.
