Chapter 53 Strengthening Ceremony
Carrying a generation of flour and half a processed mushroom pig, Drew is walking towards Abel's magic workshop.
Although Abbot has moved away from Drew's house, Drew often sends some meat and flour to his magic workshop. However, in addition to sending flour and meat today, Drew also said to him before that he needs help if he has something to do.
Compared to other people in the Steel Leaf Tribe, Drew and Abel's relationship can be said to be the closest one. Not only did he meet Abel first, but also because Abel had dinner at his house when he was in the Steel Leaf Tribe before, and the relationship between the two seemed to be described as a friend.
But Drew still maintained awe of Abel and did not regard himself as Abel's friend, or did not think of himself as Abel's friend, or did not think of himself as a mage to make friends with a mage.
In the face of the great power of magic, humans are still too weak.
Although I had never seen Abel's real move, when I sent the hunted giant beasts to the Magic Workshop, more than 20 preys that could only be pushed by strong men were lifted up in front of Abel, and then dragged away by a weak little girl. This still gave Drew an intuitive comparison of the power of magic.
Although the comparison is not necessarily correct, it does not prevent Drew from realizing what kind of power Abel, a somewhat thin-looking half-elf, possesses.
Although it was not the first time I came to the Magic Workshop, when I stood at the door, Drew carefully sorted out his clothes and was about to knock on the door.
But before he could raise his hand, the portal opened in front of him. Ora was still mechanically without a trace of ups and downs and said a welcome speech: "Welcome, Mr. Drew, the master is waiting for you."
Crossing the portal, Drew walked into the hall of the Magic Workshop, standing in front of him with Belfast and another maid with short black hair.
"Hello, please give me the things. The master is waiting for you in the workshop." Aiber's new maid Aida walked directly to Drew. While he was still a little stunned, he had already taken the things from his hands and walked towards the kitchen.
"Mr. Drew, please, the master is waiting for you." Belfast took a step forward and smiled at Drew.
Drew, who came to his senses, nodded and then followed Belfast to work. However, Drew still asked Belfast with some curiosity: "Miss Belfast, who was the one just now?"
"That's the new maid Miss Ada. She's a little untalking. Please don't mind, the master is inside." Belfast opened the door between work and made a gesture to Drew to invite him in.
With a little nervous mood, Drew stepped into a mage's laboratory for the first time.
"Master, Mr. Drew has arrived." Belfast replied to Abel, who was still busy in front of the test bench.
"Mr. Abel." Seeing Abel sitting in front of the test bench and all kinds of unrecognizable things in the entire work, Drew seemed very careful and restrained. This is the mage's laboratory. In the stories told by the old people of the tribe, this is a more dangerous place than the tiger's den. Perhaps an inconspicuous little thing can turn a person into a frog and other small things, and always plays a role in the shadow of childhood in the stories of the elderly in the Steel Leaf Tribe scaring children.
Hearing the voices of Belfast and Drew, Abel stopped the busyness in his hand, turned around, and greeted Drew: "Oh, Drew, you are here, sit casually... Oh, I forgot that this is between work, there are no other chairs, just be as good as you want."
"Nothing, Mr. Abel." Drew didn't care about Abel's negligence, but asked him: "Mr. Abel, you said you needed my help last time. What's the matter? Do you want another beast to catch? Don't worry, as long as there is something as useful as the last paralysis trap, I can catch any beast you want!"
"Haha, thank you Drew for your kindness, but this time you don't need to risk your life to catch the beast, but you need to cooperate with me to do a test." Abel stood up, reached out and made a grasping gesture to grab a light curtain from the test bench and threw it forward, and the light curtain unfolded in front of Drew's eyes again.
Although he did not recognize the words and patterns on the light curtain, Drew still recognized that there was mainly a human and the giant beast he caught last time. The two patterns were wrapped in a circle and complex patterns, which was a bit dazzling. Drew also found that on the floor in front of him, there seemed to be the same pattern. He obviously didn't know that this thing was called a magic circle.
"Drew, take off your shirt and stand in this position." Before Drew asked, Abel pointed to the center of the magic circle on the floor and said to Drew: "I need to draw magic runes on you, it may hurt a little, but if the ceremony is successful, you should get the power of the beast you sent last time."
"The power of that big guy?" Drew was a little confused, but he took off his shirt as Abel said, revealing his strong muscles and strong arms.
"Yes, this is a magical ritual. Through the power of the ritual, I can give you part of the power of the beast. As for how much it has, it depends on your ability to bear and whether the ritual is successful or not." Abel explained this magical ritual to Drew, but he did not tell Drew that this ritual has another function, that is, it will gradually activate the residue of the divine power transformation in his body, turning him into the steel leaf tribe that once had.
Seeing Drew standing in the magic circle, Eber signaled him to open his arms, and then ordered Ola: "Ola, start drawing magic runes, open the magic output pipeline, and start infusion of magic." The robotic arm operated by Ola, who is a tower spirit, is obviously more accurate than manual hand-painted, and it is more difficult to make mistakes and produce errors.
With Abel's order, two metal robotic arms stretched out from the ceiling and held Drew's arm, while the other four robotic arms began to draw various magic runes on him with a dark red paint. Drew sucked his nose, and in addition to all kinds of strange medicine smells, he also smelled a bloody smell.
Is this a paint made with blood? Drew secretly speculated, but his body did not dare to move around. For a warrior, it is undoubtedly very tempting to gain more powerful power. Drew obviously cannot resist this temptation. He does not want the ceremony to fail because of his movements.
After Ora painted a tattoo-like magic runes on Drew's arms, chest and back, Abel stood in front of the magic circle and began to recite spells in front of him. With Abel's spell, the magic circle under Drew's feet was also lit up, and the light blue magic power was infused into it. Then, through the transformation of the magic circle, it was absorbed by the magic runes on Drew's body, and gradually instilled the power contained in the blood of the monster added in the paint into Drew's body.
