Chapter 131
Chapter 131: Prayer Ritual
In another world, during the second spring after the human kingdom had been punished by the goddess’ curse, death’s hooves trampled across the reviving land. Dust rose in their wake, and the tender new grass that had just sprouted on both sides of the road withered in swaths.
All vitality had been erased. The cold winds of the Northern Territory remained as bitter as ever. Oswald Charles stood alone atop Green Gorge City’s walls, raising his head to gaze at the cloud-choked sky.
Under the spiritual vision skill, the sky was as black as ink. A faint line of dark light churned within it, like a sleeping eye.
The Day of Wishing had arrived again. Oswald Charles, who had come to Green Gorge City early, had not rested properly for many days.

He walked slowly down from the city wall. The soldiers immediately pushed open the city gate and stood respectfully on both sides, silently watching their Duke pass by.
Leaning on his staff, Oswald Charles arrived outside the city. He reached out and touched the green leaves on a tree, his expression incomparably grave.

(System, do you think they are trying to harm me?)
[Host, please do not overthink it. This System estimates that such a possibility absolutely does not exist.]
(Then why are they secretly refining aphrodisiacs for me? In this lifetime, I have never felt such deep empathy for the profession of eunuch...)
Oswald Charles sighed heavily. He thought back to some time ago, when Eileen had suddenly replaced his tea with certain strange, viscous liquids.

They smelled awful and tasted terrible.
Yet even though Oswald Charles sensed that something was wrong, he still did not want to waste her good intentions.
How could news of alchemists frequently entering and leaving the Duke’s estate possibly be hidden from him? From the moment Eileen had started pulling his hair for no reason, Oswald Charles had noticed their little movements.
It was just that Oswald Charles had guessed they wanted to use alchemy to help him restore his human body. He had never expected their methods to be so wild.

Was this their idea of seeing a good deed through to the end—if they wanted to save a man, they had to save his root first?
The moment his lower abdomen began to ache and swell, and his heart felt as if a cat’s claws were scratching at it, Oswald Charles rolled out of bed and knew it was over. Those people had set him up.

After he checked his utterly unresponsive “little brother,” Oswald Charles became even more melancholy.
No, seriously, what exactly were they trying to do?
[Actually, this System has studied it during this period. If the reproductive organs of you humans are not being used for reproduction, their operating principles are quite simple.]
[When the time comes, this System can just apply a recovery potion directly there, then go next door and borrow a little Steel Elixir. Combined with Host’s lightning-element power of nature, it will definitely work better than a vibrator.]
Steel Elixir, vibrator...
Oswald Charles held his forehead. (I am truly blessed to have all of you.)

[Host, this System knows you have always been restraining yourself. But how many years can humans live? There are many things that feel completely different when done in one’s twenties compared to one’s forties.]
[The girl wants to be with you at the most beautiful age of her life. Under such circumstances, you should stop thinking so much about the future.]
(I cannot indulge myself. Indulgence is the beginning of downfall. So many dangers have not been resolved. So many people...)
[This System is talking to you about life, about living! It is not telling you to spend your days in debauchery! Host, you do not plan to have a harem of wives and concubines. Being with the girl you love—how indulgent could that possibly be?]
(You are asking me, a virgin across two lives? It is precisely because I love her more and more that I can understand what was going on with King Zhou and Daji!)
(Besides, System, you chose your Host yourself. Do you not know what kind of person I am? No matter what I focus on, I go all out. Back then, the only thing that could distract me from studying was eroge...)

(Do you really want your Host to become a single-minded sex fiend?)
The System thought it over carefully. This was bad. Oswald Charles truly was that kind of person.

[Then what does Host want to do?]
(Let us get married first. I have already written the marriage contract. All that remains is for her to sign her name. Once I deal with the newly born incarnation of the curse, I will go back and propose to her.)
[What are you doing? Do not raise a death flag before battle! The incarnation of the curse might already be on its way!]
Ignoring the System’s joke about the trope, Oswald Charles turned and looked toward the horizon.

The wind lifted the hem of his clothes. The feeling of being watched grew stronger and stronger. Oswald Charles lowered his head, his emotions incomparably complicated. “It really is haunting me without end.”
Far away, beyond fields and villages, in a certain basement in the Royal Capital, an aged voice suddenly rang out.
“Begin the ritual. Move the first finger joint. Receive the Blood Faithful. Soak them in holy water to awaken them.Face the eleven-fifteen direction to the north and recite the prayers from Chapter Twelve!”
Rings of flame ignited along the edge of the circular basement. Though it was called a basement, its floor area occupied half a football field, and its depth was at least around two hundred meters.

At the center, a massive, towering cylinder was covered in black cloth. Nearly a hundred black-robed figures rode hanging baskets and busied themselves in midair around the cylinder. Using iron chains and mechanisms, they slowly bent the front end of the cylinder downward.
There were even more black-robed figures on the ground. They strained to push aside a stone slab weighing more than a dozen tons, revealing a black-red blood pool beneath the floor.

Another team of black-robed figures cast a special fishing net several dozen meters long into the blood pool. Once the fishing net sank to the bottom, a piercing whistle urged them to act immediately.
“Receive the faithful!” a raised voice echoed.
They gripped the ropes tightly and retreated sharply as if in a tug-of-war. The blood pool churned with a gurgling rush, turning up all kinds of nauseating organs. A crowd of humanoid creatures with black-red skin appeared packed inside the fishing net, thrashing as they were dragged ashore.
As though gathering a harvest, the remaining black-robed figures swarmed forward and pinned down the humanoid creatures one after another as they coughed up bloody water and screamed in madness.
“Hang them. Seat them!”
The humanoid creatures were dragged by the black-robed figures to designated sections of the wall. Mechanisms activated, and rows of rusted iron hooks extended from seams in the wall, beginning to rotate in continuous loops.

The black-robed figures forcefully hung the humanoid creatures in their hands onto the hooks, driving the iron hooks through the backs of their heads. The creatures immediately stopped screaming. Their expressions fell into silence, and they slowly drifted upward along the hooks.
The assembly-line process made them extremely efficient. Before long, the humanoid creatures covered the walls, the emptied fishing net was drawn back, and the mechanisms also stopped operating.
“Soak them in holy water. Awaken them!”
The stern command echoed through the basement. All of the black-robed figures paused, then put down their work one after another and quickly lined up to evacuate the basement.
At the very moment a young black-robed figure was about to leave, curiosity made him look back. He saw black rain suddenly falling from nowhere. Amid screams so horrific they seemed beyond human endurance, the bodies of the humanoid creatures were washed clean, revealing elven features.
Washed away along with the bloody water were their swollen eyeballs. Those eyeballs slowly slipped from their sockets and, in the next instant, dissolved into the black rain.

With a wet thunk, an arrow shot into the young black-robed figure’s chest. He turned in disbelief, only to see their captain lowering the bow in his hand, his expression stern. The captain walked up to him and shoved him hard.
The young black-robed figure fell into the basement. Before he plunged into the blood pool and drowned, he could still hear the elves’ chaotic chanting beside his ears.

Black rain fell in sheets. The elves, with empty eye sockets turned toward the north and hands pressed together, hung upon the walls and offered their final prayer to the goddess.
