People's Grand Voyage, I start a game with a ghost ship - Chapter 351

c351 perform rituals

After Tricia’s explanation, Yang Yi finally figured out the process of the pioneer ceremony.

But he still had questions.

“What exactly is this ritual summoning?” he asked.

“It’s not fixed.

Anyway, it’s some unknown beings attracted by the ritual.

Some may come to make trouble, so you have to ask more times. If the direction of the existence is consistent, it means that this direction is more reliable.”

Tricia explained.

“In addition, the same location can perform the ceremony at most three times a week.

From the fourth time… it is very likely that the same unknown existence will be invited.

If the same existence is summoned repeatedly in a short period of time, it is easy to anger it, which will lead to a series of uncontrollable consequences.” Tricia further explained.

“I see!”

Yang Yi said he understood, and shared this information with Suna at the same time.

“By the way, how far away do you have to be to change the location?”

Yang Yi suddenly asked.

“This book doesn’t say that it’s best to start the ceremony after a week.”

“Is that so.”

Yang Yi nodded and prepared to try the pioneer ceremony.

He stopped the boat, which would help determine the direction.

Then he came to the ship’s atrium, opened the pioneer guide, spread it on the deck, and laid out a huge ritual array with an area of ​​more than six square meters.

“Suna, I’m going to start the pioneer ritual. Do you want to come up and see it?”

“Right away!”

Suna replied, indicating that she would come right away.

She had actually read the ritual book and even took photos, but she couldn’t copy the second one because her understanding level was not enough.

If you just copy it, the array will not have any effect.

Suna has figured this out.

Whether the array can take effect when it is drawn is actually related to many factors.

Including the ink used, the place of drawing, whether the temperature and humidity of the environment are suitable, whether the drawing time node is correct, and even the age of the painter.

It is almost impossible to get the same effect by copying.

But on the other hand, arrays with obvious differences may have the same effect. This is the mystery of magic!

If you want to draw a magic array, you have to understand its principle.

Suna came to the deck, accompanied by Xiao Ji, and signaled Yang Yi to start the ceremony.

Tricia hid in Yang Yi’s pocket like a mouse seeing a cat, with only her head showing.

It seems that the witch’s deterrence is greater than that of the Zoroastrians. She would rather face the Zoroastrians than fall into the hands of the witch.

“Well… Then I’m ready to start!”

Yang Yi read out an opening speech, and let all the crew members focus on the ritual magic circle.

This magic circle has three concentric circles, connected in a line, which is the most important part of the magic circle.

The concentric circles at the bottom are used to present tributes and attract the summoning of unknown existences.

This can be anything, but poor tributes may cause summoning failures.

The concentric circles at the top are for the things to be found, and the unknown existence will guide you to the direction where the number of this item is particularly large.

For example, if you put in the fragments of the light fairy, you are very likely to know the direction of the Sea of ​​Miracles, and if you put in delicious things, you are very likely to know the direction of the Sea of ​​Plenty.

Most ships rely on this method to find directions.

On this basis, the ritual has also extended other uses. You can put whatever you need. For example, if you lack food and fresh water, you can put food and fresh water to find a way to survive in the lightless sea.

Yang Yi thought for a while, put a unit of crystal diamond on the top, and put a vibrant sardine leg on the tribute position, ready to activate the ritual array.

The method of use is similar to the scroll. You only need to provide magic, which consumes 3, and then the magic called Pioneer Ritual will be activated.

[Pioneer Ritual: A ritual array is required. You can activate it after placing the tribute and the object to be found (it can be left empty). Injecting 3 magic elements can summon unknown existence, tell you the direction where the object to be found is enriched, and take away the tribute. 】

———

After the array is activated, it emits a dark light, as if black matter is overflowing from the bottom of the array.

“Is this normal?”

After injecting magic elements, Yang Yi asked Tricia.

“Um… should it be considered normal?”

“Should…?”

“The effect of the pioneer ritual is random, and it is related to the sea area, tribute, and summoner.” Tricia explained hurriedly, “So any phenomenon is possible, there is no conclusion.”

“I see.”

Yang Yi nodded, staring at the magic circle.

Suna next to him was taking notes with a notebook and a pen, biting the pen from time to time, and deducing the principle of the magic circle based on the phenomenon………

Eight minutes later.

After a long and almost deadly wait, the magic circle finally responded.

If Tricia hadn’t explained that the summoning time of each ritual might vary from 5 to 30 minutes, Yang Yi would have thought he had failed.

The center of the magic circle responded, like the surface of the water, with ripples, as if something came up from below.

But this magic circle is just a piece of paper, and there is a deck below, so it should be that the magic circle connects to another space.

Pop!

Splashing water.

There was a sound of breaking water in the center of the magic circle, and a huge eyeball broke through the magic circle and rose from below.

It was as if some unknown creature had discovered a hole and pointed its eyes towards it, secretly peeking.

The pupils of the eyeballs moved randomly, which was not the speed of normal creatures. It seemed that they were observing and collecting information around them.

Yang Yi took out the flintlock gun, replaced it with a three-eye gun, and prepared for unexpected situations.

But this magic is still relatively reliable, after all, it has been passed down for a long time.

The eyeball stopped moving after seeing the energetic sardine leg, and then suddenly turned to the other side, stayed on Yang Yi for a while, and looked at the crystal diamond.

The crystal diamond moved under the gaze of the eyeball, moving several centimeters diagonally above the bow.

It probably means to move in that direction.

After indicating the direction, the eyeball sank, taking the energetic sardine leg with it, and dragged the fish leg into the magic circle with some kind of power.

At this point, the ceremony ended successfully, and the magic circle returned to its original appearance, except that the crystal diamond on it was moved.

Yang Yi recorded the direction according to the position of the crystal diamond, and then prepared for the second ceremony.

Because a ceremony is unreliable, these unknown existences may not necessarily tell you the normal direction.

They don’t even know the direction, they just come here to cheat the tribute.

Or… that direction is a trap.

So we have to do the ritual a second time, or even a third time. If there is a consistent result, then the direction is more reliable, and it is likely to be the normal direction.

Yang Yi thought for a while, replaced the tribute with a bag containing 10,000 conch coins, and activated the magic circle again.
