The porcelain jar in Rhode's hand is relatively heavy, and the reason for this is not that the porcelain jar itself is heavy, but because of the mercury contained inside.
After opening the porcelain jar, Rhodes carefully poured the mercury on top of the previously placed materials according to the ritual records.
After the mercury fell to the ground, it did not flow rapidly around like a normal liquid, but formed into a state like multiple small balls.
The small beads form a special imprint that connects where the material is located. Even if a material has been placed where the mercury is pouring, the mercury will not cover the surface of the material. Instead, it will quickly slide down from the edge of the material and fall on the ground, forming multiple tiny beads.
As Rhodes poured out, the marks formed by these silver beads became longer and longer, and finally connected all the materials for the ceremony.
This mercury is like a bond, completing the connection between the ritual materials.
Following Rhode's actions, the magical energy in the entire underground space seemed to have been activated by the ritual. Both Rowling and Elon could clearly feel this, as if a special change was about to occur.
Soon, Rhodes used mercury to complete the arrangements for the ceremony. At this time, in Rhode's hands, the weight of the porcelain jar had been reduced by more than half.
There is still a lot of mercury remaining in the porcelain jar. Regarding the basic materials required for this kind of ritual, in order to ensure the success of the ritual, Elon will only provide more shares without cutting back.
Seeing that there was still a lot of mercury left, Rhodes sealed the porcelain jar and put it into the space ring.
At this time, the entire spiritual suppression ritual has been arranged. If Rhodes needs it, he can activate the ritual at any time to complete the suppression of the creatures in it.
In the game, through the study of mysticism, the mage can learn a variety of common rituals. Similar to fusion rituals, which are completely classified into witchcraft, the mage also needs a certain level of mysticism to master them.
Among these rituals mastered by mages, although the effects of the rituals are different, there are several points that are the same.
The decoration of the ceremony requires a lot of rare materials. Ailon was able to easily produce these materials because he was the lord of Silver Cliff City and had this status. For ordinary mages, just the gold coins needed to perform the ceremony will take a period of time to accumulate.
Among these rituals, few can be used directly on the battlefield. Even dungeons with the most prosperous sorcery rituals would not arrange such rituals during battles.
Similar to the spiritual suppression ritual that Rhodes has arranged now, after consuming a lot of materials, it can only work on the creature that was at the center of the ritual from the beginning.
Except for the most central creature, any creature outside the ritual can easily destroy the structure within the ritual, including the materials placed by Rhodes, thereby destroying the ritual.
For mages, even if they take the time to master these rituals, they can only be used in rare circumstances.
In Brakadan, except for those alchemists, there are very few mages who can master the arrangement of rituals. In the eyes of those mages, pure magic can have the greatest effect.
After completing the arrangement of the ceremony, Rhodes gave it a try. After confirming that he could activate the ceremony at any time, he turned his gaze to the lamp kettle at the center of the ceremony.
All preparations before the ceremony have been completed, and the next step for Rhodes is to transform the death knight.
After arranging the mercury, Rhodes did not have to worry about the mercury dissipating in a short period of time. Mercury dissipates slowly, so Rhodes should only worry about this unless too much time has passed and the transformation ceremony has not been completed.
Rhodes was not sure about the time it would take to complete the transformation ceremony. Whether his own mana could sustain the air-bending magic for such a long time was something Rhodes needed to consider.
Standing in the circle surrounded by the dead soul crystal, and at the same time outside the spiritual suppression ceremony, Rhodes began to activate the entire transformation ceremony through his legendary spiritualism.
Compared with the spiritual suppression ceremony, the arrangement of the transformation ceremony is not complicated. In the transformation ritual, in addition to the soul crystal that provides death energy, the most important thing is the necromancer who guides the operation of death energy in consciousness.
When facing the corpses of lower-level heroes, if the Necromancer's level of spiritualism is not enough, even the Necromancer who guides the energy of death can be replaced with high-quality Soul Crystals as the core of the ritual. But in the end, it will be unable to withstand the pressure brought by the ritual, causing the Soul Crystal to be completely broken.
The conditions required for the death knight's transformation ritual are relatively loose. Compared with those alchemy rituals that can be considered a complete failure as long as there is a slight mistake, the transformation ritual seems extremely simple.
However, the conditions for the transformation ceremony are also relaxed for those normal hero corpses. Even if heroes die, some traces of their lives will remain on their bodies.
The corpse of the hero also contains a series of spirits from his lifetime, and also retains the blessings brought by the hero template.
In this case, a simple transformation ritual can transform him into a death knight, relying on the special characteristics of the hero's corpse.
However, what Rhodes needs to transform is not the corpse of a regular hero, but a special remains, a container of a monster hero, plus its elemental core.
Since there is no physical body, the transformation ritual cannot get the bonus of the hero's corpse, and can only rely on Rhodes' control to complete the entire transformation ritual.
It can be said that once something goes wrong during Rhodes' guidance, the entire ceremony will stop completely, directly leading to the failure of the transformation.
At this time, the difficulty of the transformation ritual is no less than that of ordinary alchemy rituals.
As Rhodes activated the ritual, all the surrounding dead soul crystals suddenly began to vibrate slightly. At the same time, a large amount of death energy overflowed from these dead soul crystals, filling the entire underground space.
On the side, Luo Lin was able to clearly sense the death energy generated around her due to her mastery of expert spiritualism. Even Elrond, who has not mastered spiritualism, can feel this.
After realizing this, Ailon's eyes narrowed. Elon knew that whether his wish could come true depended on the success of this transformation ceremony.
Once the ritual fails, not to mention how many gold coins it will cost to collect these materials again, Ailon will feel great disappointment. Elon couldn't imagine what would happen if the ritual failed, so he could only place his hope entirely on Rhodes.
