Chapter 367 Anna and Death (2)
After chanting the inheritance incantation, Anna cut her wrist and let her blood drip on the ground.
The blood quickly sank into the ground and disappeared.
Anna stopped the bleeding and waited silently for a while.
It was quiet.
Nothing happened.
But this time, Anna was obviously more patient.
The ritual of summoning the sleeping god of death in the shrine by the patriarchs of all dynasties has always taken a full five hours.
The five hours represent the birth, blooming, withering, soul return, and reincarnation of life respectively.
This is a complete process from birth to death, in line with the teachings of the Holy Church of the Dead.
During these five hours, the summoner can do whatever it takes to try to get the attention of the god of death.
In history, there have been people who have demonstrated their great strength in front of a high platform, and some people have made evil sacrifices in an attempt to please the god of death.
Some people even have a whim, thinking that only by dedicating their own or others' lives will the gods who dominate death come to see them.
They paid a terrible price and no one succeeded.
Therefore, these five hours are also known as "The Call of Despair".
Anna was very calm about it.
She didn't expect herself to wake up death from the beginning.
So she - did nothing.
After all, in addition to the first-generation head of the Medici family, countless generations of heroes have emerged in the long river of history, and none of these people have successfully summoned the god of death.
Anna doesn't feel that she is better than them.
Anna stood there and waited a while longer.
Five hours is indeed a long time.
Anna thought for a while, took a few steps back, and found a clean place to sit down.
She quietly waited for the time to pass and the ceremony to end.
After all, this ceremony is something that the head of the family must do, and it cannot be abandoned halfway.
Time passed slowly.
In the temple, apart from the crackling sound of the illuminating flames from time to time, there was no movement.
Anna does nothing, and doesn't think of a way to wake up Death.
She was just waiting for the five hours to run out.
- When a person watches time consuming for no reason, then in his senses, time becomes extremely long.
She had to wait for most of the night, and Anna felt no pressure at all, so it didn't take long before she lost her mind.
She was also the first in thousands of years to be distracted in the process of summoning the gods.
After a while, Anna shook her head and said to herself, "This kind of long waiting actually requires something important to pass the time."
She opened the backpack behind her.
Two bottles of spirits appeared in front of him.
Fuxi famous wine, royal deer.
Anna looked at the two bottles of wine with a relieved smile.
This is a century-old spirit treasured by the Fuxi royal family.
The strongest in the world, no one.
She also managed to get her hands on it, and was told by Emperor Fuxi in public afterwards.
Anna hurriedly brought out a bottle of spirits, opened the cork skillfully, and took out a beautiful multi-angled thick glass from her backpack.
Pour wine.
In an instant, the aroma of the wine overflowed.
Anna unconsciously licked the corner of her mouth and took a sip from the glass.
kindness!
This wine is delicious!
Anna nodded in satisfaction.
Sure enough, I still have to bring some wine down, otherwise I'll be bored waiting for five hours.
She took another gulp.
Time seems to be passing faster.
after an hour.
A bottle of wine is about to bottom out.
Anna was enjoying herself, and her mind began to think wildly.
What price does this ghost ritual have to pay to wake up the god of death?
Forget it, leave it alone.
Anyway, others have sacrificed countless treasures and even their lives, but no one has succeeded.
I will not give anything.
She turned her head and thought of something else.
At this time, Varona should be about to ascend the throne.
For the family, this is a good thing.
Varona became Queen Fuxi, and she mastered all the ancient battle skills of the family.
This is something no one has ever done.
When you complete this ritual and go out to join Varona, you will be able to take revenge on the Pope.
Thinking of this, Anna felt happy.
She filled the glass, raised it high, and said loudly to the death god Shenmian high platform: "Toast to you, the god of death who never shows up."
After speaking, she tilted her neck and drank a whole glass of wine.
This cup was a bit violent, and Anna shook her head unconsciously.
Where did you just think?
By the way, Gu Qing Shan.
What is Gu Qingshan doing at this time?
Anna looked at Guangnao.
It was already midnight, Gu Qing Shan probably fell asleep.
At this time, it is best not to disturb people's sleep.
Anna paused.
- No, it's too long, I have to talk to him.
Find a reason to wake him up?
Anna looked at the platform where the god of death came.
Well, for good reason.
She turned on the optical brain and opened the video connection.
The opposite side was quickly connected.
Anna looked at the scene opposite and said in surprise, "In the middle of the night, the four of you were drinking?"
On the opposite side came Liao Hang's whisper: "In the middle of the night, you are not drinking."
Anna ignored him and told Gu Qingshan two things about the god of death.
Next, Su Xueer suddenly appeared.
...
"What's so amazing!"
Anna closed the light brain and slammed the wine bottle.
"Do you think the old lady is afraid of you? When the ceremony is over, I will kill you immediately!"
Anna exclaimed angrily.
No, after the ceremony, I have to return to the Federation immediately.
I have to go to Gu Qing Shan's place!
Su Xueer won't stay in the mountain villa this night.
Anna thought about it, and even made up her mind that as soon as the ceremony was over, she would rush to the Federation.
She didn't know at all that after Su Xue'er had beaten her, she had already traveled to the world of Kirishima.
ceremony……
Anna looked at Guangnao.
There are still about three hours.
A hell of a ceremony!
Su Xueer was with Gu Qingshan in the mountain villa, but she was sitting in this eerie place.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became.
She staggered to her feet, stepped forward and picked up the bottle of wine.
The centuries-old spirits, the bottle is also very strong, did not break.
The bottle stopper has been opened, but it is not tightly plugged, and some flow out.
Anna shakes the bottle.
There is no sound inside.
Huh?
- I don't remember myself drinking so fast.
Is it full flow?
Forget it, forget it.
Anna put down the wine bottle and opened her backpack.
I still have a bottle!
She fell to the ground and opened the cork.
This time, she was so depressed that she took a sip from the bottle without even using a glass.
Well!
Really strong!
She had never drank so much of this level of spirits at one time.
After a few more sips, Anna's face was flushed and her eyes were drunk.
Her head shook a little.
- Time, how long has it been?
Anna turned on her optical brain and checked the time.
The time has hardly changed, and there are still nearly three hours left.
It's too long!
After knowing that Su Xueer was in the mountain villa, waiting became a worrying thing.
It's all this damned ceremony, otherwise I could have gone to the Federation long ago.
The anger in Anna's heart grew stronger and stronger.
She stood up, took a few steps staggeringly, stumbled on her feet, and suddenly fell to the ground.
The wine bottle in his hand flew far away, jumped a few times on the ground, and stopped moving.
Anna twisted, rushed forward and grabbed the bottle.
Fortunately, the cork was corked, and not a single drop of wine spilled out.
Anna breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, she felt something different in her palm.
She raised her hand to look.
A whole piece of hand skin was scratched, and blood dipped out.
A wound of this size is not too small.
However, Anna didn't even feel the pain.
——She drank too much, and her sense of pain was also a little dull.
