Chapter 290: Blood Exchange Ritual
“Fortunately, 【Subordinate Law】s cannot plunder each other.”
Wizards, as the representatives of the 【Law】 in the 【Primary Material World】, are, in a sense, also the representatives of the 【Wizard's Will】.
The moment a Wizard comprehends a 【Law】, it means they have begun to receive the attention of the 【Wizard's Will】.
Precisely because of this, any Wizard who kills another Wizard who has already grasped the power of a 【Law】 will receive the “Misfortune Punishment” from the 【Wizard's Will】 for a long time, and at the same time, will be permanently shunned by the corresponding 【Law】 that Wizard had mastered.
And the “Misfortune Punishment”, from a 【Mysticism】 perspective, is a type of 【Curse】.
The specific manifestations of the 【Curse】 are mostly magic backlash during strength advancement, especially for some bloodthirsty 【Black Wizard】s, who are high-incidence patients of this type of 【Curse】.
Of course, this situation also applies to 【Wizard Apprentice】s who have mastered 【Law Fragment】s.
Therefore, even when 【Jia Na】 encounters a Wizard who is stronger than her and has also mastered the same type of 【Law】 as her,
She doesn't need to worry about what intentions the other party might have. After taking a sip of the sugar-free wine in her glass, and hearing so much knowledge related to 【Law】 from 【Hermann-Rose】, 【Jia Na】 also began to wait for his next words.
She never believed that there was truly anything free in this world without reason, just like the knowledge 【Hermann-Rose】 had just shared; 【Jia Na】 believed he was merely laying the groundwork for his subsequent purpose. “Miss 【Jia Na】, you must have heard of the 【Rose Family】's 【Extreme Cold Secret Realm】, right?”
Hearing 【Hermann-Rose】 suddenly jump to this topic, 【Jia Na】, who was still guessing what he was up to, thought for a moment and then shook her head.
“I haven't heard of it, but I guess it must be the secret realm where 【Vivian】 has been in seclusion.”
Because she was worried that the other party might possess some 【Witchcraft】 capable of detecting lies, 【Jia Na】 answered every question from 【Hailman】 truthfully.
“That's right, it is the secret realm where 【Vivian】 is in seclusion, and it is also the place where I plan to hold the 【Blood Exchange Ritual】.”
【Blood Exchange Ritual】?
For whom?
Is it for 【Vivian】, or 【Hermann-Rose】 himself?
Hearing 【Hermann-Rose】's words, a string of question marks couldn't help but pop up in 【Jia Na】's mind.
As far as she knew, the “【Blood Exchange Ritual】” is mostly a ritual held by 【Bloodline Side】 【apprentice】s before they prepare to officially advance to a Rank 1 【Warlock】.
Besides the scarcity of ritual materials, it is also because the “【Blood Exchange Ritual】” has certain entry requirements for mental power and magic control...
“The target for this 【Blood Exchange Ritual】 is 【Vivian】, and the ritual material is—me.”
Upon hearing this, 【Jia Na】's expression froze for a moment.
“What's wrong, are you surprised?”
Looking at 【Jia Na】's expression, 【Hermann-Rose】 still maintained an expressionless face.
“I am surprised—but, if I may ask, are you preparing to use your own bloodline as the medium for the ‘【Blood Exchange Ritual】’ and transfer it to 【Vivian】?”
“That's right, you understand it very well.”
“But—won't doing this have a negative impact on your body?”
“It will, but I don't care.”
Upon hearing this, for a moment, the tone of 【Hermann-Rose】's voice made 【Jia Na】 instantly recognize a quality that was extremely similar between him and 【Vivian】.
At the same time, hearing 【Hermann-Rose】's answer, 【Jia Na】's heart felt as if it had been struck by something, and an indescribable emotion quickly grew from the bottom of her heart.
“【Vivian】 is truly enviable to have such a good father like you.”
Yes, as 【Jia Na】 said, the emotion that surged from the bottom of her heart in that instant was envy.
Extremely envious!
“I think so too.”
Regarding 【Jia Na】's praise, 【Hermann-Rose】 nodded as a matter of course, and a gentle color flowed from his ice-blue eyes.
“My original idea was simple: to use the ice plain environment of the 【Extreme Cold Secret Realm】 and the ‘【Blood Exchange Ritual】’ to enhance 【Vivian】's bloodline talent. However, after meeting you today, I changed my mind—”
Hearing this, although 【Jia Na】's expression didn't change much, her body involuntarily tensed up.
“The purpose of this 【Blood Exchange Ritual】 for 【Vivian】 is to further purify the bloodline of the 【Cossina Snake】 within her. And the necessary prerequisite for successful purification is an extremely cold environment.”
“And the coldest place in the 【Extreme Cold Secret Realm】 is actually deep within the ice plain, in the border area between the 【Extreme Cold Secret Realm】 and the 【Netherworld】—”
Hearing this, 【Jia Na】 also roughly understood what 【Hermann-Rose】's proposed “【Blood Exchange Ritual】” plan was.
The 【Rose Family】's 【Extreme Cold Secret Realm】 is actually a fragment world located between the 【Primary Material World】 and the 【Netherworld】. In this fragment world, the border area with the 【Netherworld】 is the place where the power of Frost is most concentrated.
And 【Jia Na】 guessed that the reason why the Frost power at that location is strongest is likely due to the influence of the 【Law of Death】 within the 【Netherworld】.
“Where there is death, there is often the most extreme cold. At first, I also thought of holding the ritual at the border where the two intersect, but the aura of death there is too concentrated, completely beyond what the current 【Vivian】 can withstand—.”
Their gazes met. The moment 【Jia Na】's eyes met 【Hermann-Rose】's, she understood his idea.
“Therefore, Miss 【Jia Na】, I want to solemnly ask for your help in presiding over the ‘【Blood Exchange Ritual】’ with me—currently, only your 【Growth Law】 can effectively resist the death aura there and ensure 【Vivian】's physical body is not corroded.”
“No problem, I can cooperate.”
Almost at the same time 【Hermann-Rose】 finished speaking, 【Jia Na】 made her decision decisively.
“Good! Very good—【Vivian】 really didn't misjudge you!”
Hearing 【Jia Na】's straightforward reply, a strong look of appreciation burst forth in 【Hermann-Rose】's eyes.
“But rest assured, I will definitely ensure your Life safety and won't let you suffer any harm—”
“I naturally trust you, Mr. 【Hailman】—and, as long as it helps 【Vivian】, I am also very willing to cooperate.”
Unlike the 【Law of Life】, the 【Law of Death】 within the 【Netherworld】 is relatively complete.
If ordinary living beings stay in the 【Netherworld】 for a long time, their physical bodies will be corroded by the death aura, leading to true death—
