When Venn stepped ahead and stood beside the opposite three initiates, he noticed that there was a grail in entrance of them as effectively.
Just like Venn’s, their grails have been empty too.
From the appears to be like of issues, plainly the initiation ritual was simply getting began.
The unusual phenomenon led Venn to the conclusion that the timing of his arrival was too good, particularly when he had arrived late to the annual assembly in response to the previous granny. Therefore, he had a guess that the present scenario was most likely the work of the AI system within the sport.
So long as a participant enters the orphanage inside the stipulated seven days interval and solutions these NPCs’ questions completely, she or he can be met with the identical actual scene regardless.
That was the one clarification he might provide you with.
Whereas Venn was fascinated about the main points of the hunt, the arms of the girl who was sporting the purple fox masks by no means stopped transferring.
First, she opened a bottle of wine and proceeded to pour the wine into the grails on the desk till all of them have been half full.
Following that, she went to the chief’s facet and obtained a small treasure chest from him.
Holding the small chest on her palms with nice delicateness, the girl walked previous her seat and approached the 4 new initiates till she stood proper subsequent to Venn.
Opening the chest, she took out a vial of purple liquid and added a drop into every one of many initiates’ grails one after the other.
After she added a drop of the unknown liquid into his grail, Venn seen a pool of bubbles have been violently forming in his wine.
Subsequently after placing the vial of liquid again into the small chest, she pulled out an merchandise from contained in the chest once more.
This time, it was a brown parchment scroll.
By now, all the black robes had risen up from their seats. Robotically, with none communication, all of them had a grail of their arms indicating that they’d executed this at the least various instances.
“Now, maintain your grails excessive up.”
The lady’s pleasing voice echoed loudly within the chamber. On the similar time, Venn might scent a candy perfume permeating from the scythe wielding lady who was standing near him.
For causes unknown to Venn, her small statue coupled together with her pink twin tails that was revealed after eradicating her hood, gave him an impulse to overcome her and have her for himself.
Happily, by way of sheer willpower, he was in a position to shake away these impropriety ideas from his thoughts and targeted his thoughts on the nick of time.
“What the hell was that?” Venn took a small step again away from the girl to maintain a distance from her. He might sense that the girl was the one which drove him to this state.
Venn concentrated his ideas again to the initiation ritual and raised his grail up as he was advised; channeling his curiosity about how the ritual could be held, and what all of the NPCs meant by solely three of them would stay.
He silently noticed everybody, together with the chief of Blood Serpent.
After ultimately confirming everybody within the chamber had held up their grails, the girl recited the content material of the scroll with a loud voice. With every sentence she recites, the frenzy glow in her eyes grew crazier.
“Rain. 62th of the Wolf Calendar.”
“Chronos had betrayed us!”
“The international ones have reached our doorsteps!”
“Solely carnage and bloodshed remained.”
“Solely I remained.”
“The weak minds had closed the gates to Heaven.”
“That imbecilic and cowardice bunch!
“They don’t need to be alive.”
“I’m Argos Von Kaiser, the final emperor of the dragon race.”
“The one who fought valiantly on the finish of his time.
“The one who lived his life with none remorse apart from one.”
“My time is nearing its finish now.”
“I shall depart my physique to the fated ones.”
“Take my energy and develop in energy.”
“Rise from the ashes and to the highest. For the Gods shall return sooner or later.”
“Stop them in any respect prices! My youngsters!”
“Let the Heavens fall!”
On the finish of her final sentence, complete silence had crammed the room. It was so quiet that Venn might hear a pin drop within the chamber.
The content material of the scroll had shocked Venn tremendously. Judging from what he had heard, the scroll was most likely the work of Argos Von Kaiser, written within the format of a diary.
He had no clue who he was, and he had no recollection about studying any details about him. But when he was to make an clever guess, he figured that he could be an individual that existed in between the Period of Gods and the Period of Calamity.
“The international ones and the dragon race. It appears to be like like I am onto one thing huge right here.” Venn was thrilled. Uncovering the hidden reality of the lacking historical past would imply legendary rewards and much more.
Just like the scythe wielding lady, Venn’s eyes are at present crammed with a burning want.
“Now, newcomers! The founding father of the guild will check you. Drink the wine in your arms immediately!”
[Ding]
[Do you wish to join the Blood Serpents?]
[Yes / No]
The notification window confirmed up in Venn’s imaginative and prescient upon the orders of the girl. Now, he needed to decide that may have an effect on his whole life.
He wished to attend to see the reactions of the opposite three initiates that had drank the wine, nevertheless, the girl had her eyes consistently on him to stop him from doing so.
When he realized he could not afford to pull on with out the girl’s interference, he drank the wine from his grail at one go.
Because the style of the wine flooded Venn’s style buds, and down his throat, he might really feel a burning sensation from inside his abdomen and esophagus.
Earlier than lengthy, a searing ache might be felt throughout his physique.
