The cold-faced earl doesn't want to trigger the plot

Perhaps, he should not always use his own standards to substitute the behavior of others.

Not everyone acts like him, following rationality and logic, having a strong purpose, and so on.

Recalling the elated Moran holding the Demon God card, the high-spirited Moran during the "Array" movement, and the Moran who fell asleep in the meeting with Alice peacefully...

Compared with Moran approaching Alice with his own obsession, Ribel hopes that it is Moran who is persistent in solving the mystery of Alice's life experience as soon as possible for his little friend.

...

...

"So, where did you get these ancient Astoric prayers?"

Not long after, Moran looked at the incantation of the Advent Ceremony that Liber got from Lily 99, and asked suspiciously.

"Actually, you should also have a little impression. You were there that day. It was used by those puppets."

Riber simply explained.

"I see. Then, the doll should have learned about it from the queen. That is to say, the prayer technique in the ancient Astor language has not been lost in the royal family?"

"Lost, it should still be lost. I think the way Charlotte obtained this prayer is almost the same as before. Hmm...through the 'prophet'."

After Riber finished speaking, he observed Moran.

Moran obviously didn't show any puzzlement to words like "prophet".It seems that during the meeting, she fell asleep after listening to this paragraph.

"The same way you..."

Repeating these words, Moran suddenly fell into a state of contemplation facing the paper on which the prayer was written.

Soon, she turned back from her thoughts, then took a pen and swiped on the paper, and began to divide the prayer.

"What did you find?"

"Indeed. Look at this new prayer you brought, and think back to your previous 'hymn'... Forget it, I guess you can't think of it."

As he said that, with a slight superiority in IQ, Moran began to write the lyrics of the hymn under the new prayer.

And Riber was also clear at a glance, seeing what Moran wanted to express.

The overall length of the lyrics of the "hymn", the position of the subsections, etc., are almost identical to the prayers of the Advent Ceremony.

"Could it be that the prayers of ancient Astoric prayers all have a uniform format?"

Moran hummed softly as he spoke, as if he wanted to try to see if the new prayer could be integrated into the melody of the "song".

On the other hand, Riber's expression was a little subtle.

It’s not so much that the ancient Astoric language has the same format... It’s better to say that after the prayers of the Advent Ceremony are added, it is the complete version of the "hymn" in the ED of "The Witch is Wailing", right?

"Should, the upper and lower paragraphs are joined together to form a complete 'song'."

"Oh?"

After receiving Riber's prompt, Moran stared intently for a while, then picked up a pen and drew a circle in the middle of the prayer part of the Advent ceremony.

"If it is a song, only this part has some problems. In all aspects, this vocabulary is not suitable for integration."

Riber also stared at the word and began to think.

I have to say that Moran really inspired Riber a lot.Although there are various problems in other aspects, in terms of ability, the professor of the Four Corners Society does not need to question it.

After thinking about it for a while, the more Riber thought about it, the more he felt that the prayer of the Advent Ceremony was the second half of the "song".

Because, "The Witch Screams" is a GALGAME after all.

Therefore, even if the game itself adds a spell chanting scene to the game plot in order to increase authenticity and presence, it is understandable.

However, if the chanting of this incantation lasted for more than a minute, it would be more like a disease than "details".

Moreover, even if Charlotte has played "The Witch is Wailing".However, she didn't know that she would be sent to another world by truck in the future.She has no reason at all to recite the mantra in such a long episode.

In contrast, the difficulty of remembering a song is obviously much lower.Moreover, even if you don't know the lyrics, there is a lot of meaning in writing them down abruptly.For example, when the popularity of the game explodes, record a singing video and submit it.

So, the question is, did Charlotte change the lyrics to make the prayers of the Advent Ceremony a bit strange.

And if it has changed, what exactly has been changed.

"You said, could this lyrics be designating the person who will come?"

After thinking about it, Riber pointed to the circled place and asked Moran for advice.

"It would take a test to be sure, but it's a real possibility."

After receiving a little affirmation from Moran, Riber felt that his guess was more or less inseparable.

Speaking of it, Ribel has always been very puzzled why the mysterious organization established by Charlotte was named "Sage Mystery Society".

As a traveler who came from almost the same world and era as Charlotte, Riber could say that he didn't feel any bad taste from this name, and believed that this name was completely integrated into the world view of this world.

Perhaps, Charlotte is the kind of serious character without bad taste.

Perhaps it is a bit far-fetched to speculate on this basis.

But is it possible that in the original plot, the "Mystery of the Sages" will also be related to ancient Astoria, prayer ceremonies, etc.?

Therefore, Xia Luoer may not have memorized the lengthy incantations, but she has memorized the words that represent this organization in ancient Astoria.

In other words, Xia Luoer's modification of the prayer only changed the object of descent from the original to "Sage's Mystery Society".

Does that mean they can use Advent Ritual just by changing the word a little bit?

Thinking of this, Riber began to look at Moran with scorching eyes.

"Professor Moran, I have something here that only you who know everything can do..."

...

...

After watching Moran leave, Riber had nothing to do for the time being.

Next, all you need to do is wait.

First, wait for Egyed's awakening.

Sitting in the seat, recalling the previous events, Riber's thinking was a little divergent.

The first thing he thought of was the full version of the "Hymn" that he had no luck hearing.

Because before the game was released, Ribel really watched too many promotional animations such as OP and ED.Therefore, even in this world, he has heard Meluetta perform different "chants" with his own ears, and he still feels that the original version is more impressive.

At that time, Riber just felt that, for some reason, there was a sense of sadness in that beautiful song that lingered in it for a long time.

But now, he might be able to understand the reason for this sadness.

Combining the first and second half of the "hymn" together, if you look at it not as a song but as a story.Perhaps, I can feel the state of mind of Melueita in the original plot, or the "Witch of Calamity".

In the first half, she prayed devoutly and summoned a scene of full spring.

In the second half, she sincerely hoped that someone could come to her side through her singing.Surrounded by the beautiful, peaceful scenery with her.

But, will the person that Meluetta expects really come?

If so, maybe Melueita won't become a witch representing disaster...

Sometimes, Riber really wants to know what kind of things will happen to these people around him in the original plot.Whether his appearance is in a good direction or not, their fate has been changed.

During the conversation with Charlotte, Riber also asked questions more than once.

It's a pity that Charlotte obviously didn't intend to provide him with any information from the beginning to the end.

At that time, she didn't deliberately avoid these.It's just that the story of the "Holy Maiden's Thread" she described sounded full of flaws and was obviously fabricated on the spur of the moment.

After he stopped thinking about those things about Melueita, Ribel's thinking diverged further.

If it really only needs to change a word, the identity of the descendant can be changed.

The ancient Astoric prayer ceremony is really an extremely convenient thing.

In that case, would the ceremony that Charlotte held nine days later also revolve around this prayer ceremony?

And if the prayer ceremony can make abstract things like the power of the witch descend, can it also descend things that are beyond the scope of imagination.

For example... time traveler and the like.

Riber recalled the actions of Prince Charles, the actual controller of the old capital.

He once went to the current royal capital, trying to reconcile the relationship with the current royal family, and join forces to implement something together.

And is the thing to be executed the descending ceremony of the traverser?

Because, even now, the heirs of the old prime minister have relaxed a lot about the royal family.However, the decline of the royal family is also an indisputable fact.

Prince Charles and the current royal family also went to the doctor in an emergency.

They, pin their hopes on the legacy of the once glorious Astor royal family.They pinned their hopes on the "kind" of the first Earl of Campret who founded the Mebraen Kingdom together with the royal family.

The result of the ceremony is failure.Or rather, Prince Charles and the new royal family think their ceremony has failed.

Because they don't know that the traverser is a soul attached to someone else's body, rather than a new individual appearing out of thin air.

But in fact, the ceremony was undoubtedly a success, and Charlotte was the real proof.

Speaking of which, Charlotte's time travel really happened at that time.Moreover, she came to the old capital not long after.

In this case, the death of Prince Charles may be due to the depression after thinking that the ceremony failed and the royal family could no longer stand up.What's more, the ceremony that allowed the traverser to come to this scale caused him irreparable wear and tear, and he simply died of illness...

Thinking of this, Riber couldn't help staring and sat up straight.

How could these thoughts be so logically connected into a line?

Shouldn't this be what happened in real life?

Riber cast his gaze on Moby, who was still guarding Egged in the room.

If we combine Moby's information and confirm some things from the side, maybe we can really confirm whether Riber's conjecture is correct.

And just when Riber was about to speak, he had to bite the bullet and get some information from Moby.

Suddenly, a dark gap opened in the midair of the room.

Volume Three: Chapter 280 Four, Oolong

Pyroburst.

Although Riber didn't know what the name of the magic he saw was, that was his first impression of the magic.

It was almost a black crack, and the moment it suddenly appeared in the room, with that crack as the center, the astonishingly powerful magic burst open.

At a position quite far away from the magic, Riber was still involved in the bursting heat wave.

Perhaps it was in reincarnation that he gained tolerance to pain.Facing the sudden situation, although Riber's heart was a little flustered, he was not at a loss.

With the fastest reaction he could come up with so far, he picked up the sacred object in the appearance of a pocket watch and tried to move its pointer.

At the same time, Riber saw a large number of magic circles of different sizes suddenly appearing all over the room.And the center of the magic circle, without exception, is aimed at the place where the black crack appeared before.

"Calm down, wait a minute. It's me..."

A familiar voice came from the crack.

However, neither Moby, who had already started a large-scale serial attack, nor Riber, who was only planning to protect himself, did not stop what they were doing.

All of a sudden, colorful magic blasted out neatly from the magic circles scattered throughout the room.

And the room itself could no longer withstand such a battle, and exploded directly.

Riber, who jumped out of the window in time, was still affected, but at least he was not seriously injured.

After rolling several laps on the lawn surrounding the mansion, Riber straightened up with difficulty, and found that Moby had also landed not far away with the sleepy Egged.

At this time, the effect of the holy object "twilight" has already begun to take effect, and the surrounding area has fallen into a state of slowness on a large scale.

And from the east house that was billowing in thick smoke and nearly cracked, Riber could barely see a figure slowly protruding from the black crack.

"..."

Aegid?

A man with conspicuous white hair came into Riber's eyes.

It's just that the figure of Egyed appearing from the crack is obviously somewhat illusory.

After turning his head aside, Liber saw the sleeping Aegyd that Moby was protecting.
