Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Blood Witch Puppet Ritual
Among these complex and complicated blood witchcraft knowledge, there is only one ritual called Blood Witch Puppet that can be used without the restriction of blood wizard bloodline. Based on the effects described in this ritual, Gavin secretly guessed that this should be the method Qyburn would use to resurrect the Mountain in the future.
According to the introduction in the book, first of all, a fresh corpse must be found. This corpse must be complete and the damage to the muscles and bones must be as minor as possible. Then, on the skin of the corpse, a series of mysterious and complex runes need to be carefully drawn using special materials. These runes have mysterious magic power and can guide the subsequent injection of power.
The next step is to introduce special drugs and carefully inject them into various parts of the corpse to ensure that the drugs can be evenly distributed and change the environment inside the corpse.
After this, the most critical moment comes. Blood and medicine containing magic power need to be slowly and steadily injected into the corpse's blood vessels, gradually replacing the original blood.
During this process, there are strict requirements on the injection speed, quantity and location of each drop of blood. A little carelessness may lead to the failure of the ceremony.
However, this witchcraft is not very powerful in the records of blood wizards. In most cases, it is a method used by blood wizards to create their own servants.
Because the puppet's strength and level are limited by its state during life, and if magic power is not injected into the puppet's body regularly, it will be difficult to maintain the puppet.
The content of the ritual is extremely complicated, and the most critical part is that blood containing magic power and special medicine need to be injected into the corpse to replace the blood of the corpse itself.
This step requires extreme precision and caution. A slight deviation may lead to the failure of the ritual. This is easy for a blood wizard who can control blood, but it is the biggest problem for others.
Suddenly, Gavin was interested, and it was clear that Cobain would later overcome these difficulties. After all, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think that Cobain himself had magic power, and the best source for injecting blood containing magic power into the blood was the master who controlled the puppet. In this way, once the blood witch puppet is resurrected, it will be completely loyal to its master, obey its master's orders, and completely lose itself.
From this point of view, it is obvious that Qyburn's transformation of the Magic Mountain did not meet the requirements of the Blood Witch Puppet. Because at the last moment, Magic Mountain had an uncontrollable obsession in his heart and chose to refuse to obey orders.
Gavin looked at the list of materials and medicines listed in the ceremony intently, his eyes moving slowly over the rows of dense writing. His brows furrowed slightly, because among the many items, he could only identify some of them.
However, just the materials and medicines he knew about each of them exuded the aura of being expensive and rare. Some of those herbs only grow on inaccessible cliffs or deep and mysterious ancient forests; those strange minerals require a lot of manpower and time to be excavated from deep underground. Fortunately, if you are willing to spend money, it is not impossible to buy it.
Gavin relied on his past experience and knowledge to make inferences, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He shook his head slowly, secretly guessing that the production cost of a blood witch puppet would never be less than 1,000 gold dragons, which was undoubtedly a staggeringly huge expense.
Gavin clicked his tongue and frowned, thinking of the prize money from the tournament that he had not received yet. Even if the bonus comes as expected and falls into his pocket smoothly, after careful calculation, it is estimated that he can only barely make four blood witch puppets.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, and his heart was full of helplessness and emotion: "Making money is always the primary problem at present, and in the future, this will probably be a serious problem that I will continue to face."
What is gratifying is that if my guess is accurate, the mysterious panel ability can greatly improve the strength of the flesh puppet, and can completely break away from the constraints and influence of the strength during life. This means that even a corpse with mediocre strength during life may become an extremely powerful being through the blessing of this mysterious power.
The more Gavin thought about it, the more excited he became. But while he was excited, he couldn't help but worry about the future: "If we want to use this method to form an undead army, the road to the future is really long and arduous!"
Gavin actually has many product ideas in his hands that can bring huge wealth. However, every time he thought about putting it into practice, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He knows very well that with his current strength and status, he cannot effectively protect the rights and interests of these commodities.
Once these commodities show huge profit potential, they will inevitably attract countless greedy wolves to devour them like tender fat.
Those powerful people would never let go of any opportunity to plunder, and I was completely helpless in front of them. He was already thinking about forming a partnership with a powerful person.
The next day, Gavin came to Cobain's study door again with those precious books in his arms. He calmed down, raised his hand and knocked on the door gently.
"Dong dong dong." A knock on the door sounded in the quiet corridor.
"Please come in." Cobain's voice came from inside the house.
Gavin opened the door and stepped into the study. With a polite and humble smile on his face, he bowed slightly to Qyburn and said, "Bachelor Qyburn, thank you for lending me these books."
Cobain smiled, nodded, and asked, "How do you understand the contents of the book?"
Gavin walked to the desk and began to expound his views in an orderly manner. The two discussed in depth the various issues in the book, and the atmosphere was warm and focused.
Through his knowledge far beyond this world and his feelings and understanding of magic, Gavin's ideas and thoughts surprised Coben very much, which undoubtedly solved the problem that had troubled him for a long time.
The two talked for a long time, and Gavin leaned forward slightly, with a hint of expectation and sincerity in his eyes, and said to Coben: "Mr. Coben, this exchange with you has benefited me a lot. I sincerely hope that with your status as a bachelor, I can have the opportunity to read more similar magic books and further broaden my horizons and knowledge. Do you think it's okay?" Gavin rubbed his hands consciously and gently, showing his inner tension and desire.
Coben leaned back in his chair, looked at Gavin with scrutiny, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said after thinking for a moment: "Gavin, this is not a trivial matter. Most of those books are precious and secret, and only scholars can borrow them. But it is not impossible for you to read them, but you must promise to keep the secrets strictly." Coben's expression was serious and solemn.
