Blood of Mercury

After the sun went down, it was getting colder and colder near the cemetery.

Se squinted and leaned against the tombstone, sitting quietly without saying a word. Combined with his pale skin, it looked like he was dead from a distance.

With the naked eye, you can see a faint frosty white breath wafting against the ground. If you touch it a little, the coldness of the bones will crawl all over the body along the flesh.

It was the negative energy entwined in the earth of Kalar.

To put it badly, the so-called grave guards are some human-shaped vacuum cleaners used to absorb these negative energies. This is also the reason why the tomb guards basically become weaker after working for a long time, and suffer from serious and minor illnesses.

It's not that he is being targeted by something, but the vitality in his body has long been hollowed out. Just because people with insufficient perception cannot see these negative energies, they have no way of knowing the dangers of their profession.

Because the Druids have invested too much magic in the land, this land contains extremely active energy.

Druids are different from priests who mobilize energy from the gods and wizards who mobilize laws from the Wall of Orm. If the first two are looking up at the stars, the Druid is looking down at the earth.

Their power comes from the earth. To be precise, their power comes from the outermost wall of Gaia in the entire Farnes world.

This is also the confidence of the Caral people. The Great Barrier of the Three Sages almost covered the entire sky. If you stand here, any power and information that falls from the sky will be intercepted.

It's fair to say that no spellcaster can survive in Kalar except the druids. The effect of the activated earth on the magic of the Druid is the same as that of a wizard standing in the dust of ordered magic. There will be a degree of instability in both scale and strength.

And the energies that are active in this land of Kalar naturally also include negative energies. Even the druids of the dead wood and withered vines are good at wielding these negative energies hidden in the depths of the earth.

As the sun went down, the concentration of negative energy in the air began to increase, and even the negative energy in the ground was drawn out, condensed into a solid body, and slowly crawled against the ground.

If these activated negative energies come into contact with corpses that have not been blessed by divine magic, these corpses will become slightly demonized.

This happens all over the world in Farnes, but it has become a very common phenomenon only in Caral.

It is very simple to stop this demonization, just ask the priest or druid to perform a simple ceremony. But in Karal, who does not believe in gods, priests have become a despised profession, and it is impossible for people in Karal to find priests to perform rituals - step back. Even if they did find the priest, it would be impossible to hand over the bodies of their loved ones to those they didn't trust.

If the druids were to perform the ritual, they would need palm oil-soaked cobblestones as road signs and elk horns as offerings. Use the staff of the yew tree to guide the spirits of the dead back to the earth. The entire ceremony cost twenty gold coins for the casting materials alone, which is close to three hundred Elcatel silver coins.

Not to mention ordinary businessmen, even the poorer nobles could not afford this amount.

Of course, the effect of Druid's supernatural and **** priest's thin burial is also different. The priest's thin burial is just a simple sanctification of the corpse, just in terms of effect. It is no different from dipping a circle of holy water on a corpse; and Druid's transcendence is actually pulling the soul directly into the underworld.

Mourners and Crows can do this at a lower cost. After all, this is the scope of the teacher's ability.

That chant is called the funeral chant, and it's a series with the baptism chant.

Kakarit stood on the back of the tombstone on which Joseph was leaning, and sang in a low voice, "...Return to the dust."

Following his chant, two silver-white holy flames burned quietly in his pupils.

One after another, invisible warm winds spread silently around Kakarit with Kakarit as the center.

In Joseph's field of vision, the slowly spreading holy white halo was like a white veil blown in the air, fluttering and gradually dissipating.

Those frost-white breaths were melted slightly by the holy white halo, and penetrated into the white breeze.

If an ordinary person with a relatively low perception ability is allowed to stand here now, that person can clearly feel that the bone-eroding cold of the outside world has been completely dispelled. A faint warmth gradually enveloped his body.

After chanting for a while, Kakarit closed his eyes. The pupils, which were burning faintly with holy white flames, gradually closed.

It's just to disperse some negative energy that no one uses. One chant is enough.

Not only those activated negative energies who were walking on the ground and did not dare to approach Joseph and Kakarite were directly annihilated. The bodies buried under this grave were also consecrated by Kakarit. At least there is no need to worry about these corpses being re-contaminated by negative energy.

——However, just half a minute after Kakarit stopped praying, a more violent cold wind came again.

This time it wasn't just a matter of clumps of frosty white marks floating on the ground. Like a tide of ants, a thick layer of white smoke covered the entire ground, swept in from all directions, and directly missed the low tombstones, turning the cemetery into a fairyland.

It was a silent and slow siege.

There is no doubt that this is an effect that cannot be achieved without human manipulation.

"Oh?"

Joseph sneered and said, "Your prayers work well... as far as fishing is concerned."

"Ah, a big fish."

A cold light flashed in Kakarit's eyes.

He opened his eyes completely, and the intense holy flame burning in his eyes even distorted the surrounding air.

The silver-white halo swayed in circles. Silver-gray runes began to slowly emerge on his body.

"The lost and the old are called by me, committed to me, learned from me, loyal to me—"

Then the first chant. Kakarit convened with both hands, and sang the teacher's prayer to the enemy hidden in the fog with icy demeanor and fiery enthusiasm.

Immediately, a thin circle of halo swayed from Kakarit's feet. His feet suddenly turned completely pure white.

Holy silver-white crosses grew out of the ground, and these knee-high crosses shone like flowers.

"Don't forget to sing, don't forget to pray. Don't forget to sleep—"

In Kakarit's clear voice, a white butterfly composed of pure light slowly flew out from the top of the cross that bloomed like a flower, and spread freely around.

"...Oh, interesting."

Joseph snorted happily and looked at the scene in front of him with admiration.

Just being approached by the white butterflies, the white mists receded in large swaths.

If the unknown enemy that uses negative energy appears here now, these butterflies will rush towards him in large numbers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even without touching - as long as they get close to a certain extent, these butterflies can set him on fire. And any witchcraft and magic with negative energy elements will be detonated in advance once they encounter a butterfly.

The same is for negative energy chants. The difference between funeral chants and baptism chants is that one is for energy and the other is for spiritual bodies.

Just like the sharp blades turned into crosses also have the same physical killing ability. Even if these butterflies themselves are not strong in combat, once they detonate, the holy flame or holy light brought by the explosion is not vegetarian.

But just when there were two last stanzas left in Kakarit's chant, a somewhat flustered young man's voice came from the much thinner fog: "Captain, it's here! It's coming soon!"

"—Kaor!?"

Joseph's pupils shrank instantly. (To be continued.)
