This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 85: Rituals and Blessings

Lucian's pupils shrank slightly, but he still rationally gave up the identification.

However, this special cloud gate and the cloud ladder formed by it made Lucian feel a little more cautious. After all, an item that requires such a high reverence value to be identified must have its own special features, and in the wizarding world, sometimes the unknown means danger.

However, judging from Carly's description, this relic should be related to "inheritance" and "baptism", so its purpose should be more about detection and screening, and the means should not be extremely cruel. Moreover, Carly still has a purple leaf talisman in her hand...

Lucian thought about it and followed Carly up the ladder.

But soon, Lucian's expression changed.

Because after he stepped onto the cloud ladder, he could feel that the mental power in his spiritual sea seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force. In this state, it would be difficult for him to construct even the simplest zero-level witchcraft.

Lucian withdrew his foot, and the feeling of being restrained disappeared.

"Is this suppression aimed at everyone, or only at those non-ethnic groups who do not have fairy blood?" Lucian looked up at the fairy leader who had already started climbing, and hesitated a little.

"Master Lucian, my mental power has also been suppressed." Carly seemed to understand Lucian's thoughts and said in a low voice.

Lucian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Carly's reminder. He then followed Carly and began the difficult climb up the ladder without hesitation.

"Ah..." When I was halfway up, a scream suddenly came from behind me.

Lucian turned around, but saw a second-level wizard apprentice half-elf with despair in his eyes. He seemed to have missed a step just now, and now he slid down the ladder under the invisible pressure.

You know, within the range of the ladder, their mental strength is suppressed, and they can't release any witchcraft at all. And under such conditions, if they fall from a high altitude, even a third-level wizard apprentice will suffer heavy injuries if he doesn't die.

"The things in the ruins are definitely not mine, but the danger may be mine. I still want to be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice, and I also want to return to my family..."

A second-level wizard apprentice at the end of the team had a hint of fear in his eyes. He secretly glanced at his mentor Bennett who had already climbed to the front, but quietly retreated, wanting to return to the ground along the cloud steps to avoid this adventure.

However, when he retreated to the next step, the mist steps under his feet disappeared instantly and turned into ordinary light clouds, causing his feet to step into the air. After letting out a scream, the whole person fell from the sky to the ground.

"What a fool you really are." Bennett naturally noticed the death of his student and cursed in his heart. However, he was on a ladder that allowed him to advance but not retreat, so he could only grit his teeth and climb up this steep ladder.

At this time, Lucian and Kali, who were in the front of the team, were almost climbing to the side of the Cloud Gate. They could see some decorations and patterns on these mysterious ancient gates. Various flowers and plants were carved on them, and the most conspicuous place above their heads was the two bright moons engraved with abstract totems of two special monsters.

Nair Tuso, the Moon Wolf; Ciel Mira, the Moon Dragon.

Lucian looked at the two beast totems engraved on the giant door, and some information about these two legendary beasts with strong fairy colors emerged in his mind. It is said that these are two ancient beasts worshipped by the moon fairy clan:
Among them, the giant wolf Tuso has a terrifying body and eyes that can see through good and evil. He is a devil and also a divine judgment. He can crush evil with the most violent force, and warm pure souls with his softest hair.

The elven dragon Mira has powerful elemental manipulation abilities and an ability that can be called "purification". According to ancient legends of the Moon Elves, the elven dragon Mira can purify the "evil" in the blood. For this reason, it was often engraved on the fairy baptism pools by the ancient Moon Elves.

“It seems... my guess is correct.” Lucian took a deep breath. Although he didn’t know what the giant wolf Tuthonaire represented, since he could see the Moon Dragon Mira on the giant gate, the places inside the ruins should also have some connection with “purification”.

"Hurry up, push the door with me." The goblin leader had already begun to urge Carly. There was also a purple leaf mark on the palm of her left hand.

She raised her left hand and pressed towards a similar purple mark on the ancient gate.

Carly first looked at Lucian, then placed her right hand on the purple leaf brand on the other side of the giant gate.

Buzz—the huge door on Carly's side lit up with a soft white light.

As for the goblin leader, her expression seemed a little distorted at this time, and her hand that touched the giant door became a little "weird" at this time. Black lines continued to extend from her palm to the entire arm, like a group of horrible and weird little black snakes twisting and crawling in her arm.

However, the goblin leader still gritted his teeth, risking the complete destruction of his entire arm, and tried hard to slowly push the giant door open.

“It seems that this is the real reason why they need to find the [Key].” Lucian narrowed his eyes. He immediately thought of the blood curse that was detected in the half-elf’s body. Looking at the current state of the goblin leader, it was obvious that the curse in his body was activated by some kind of stimulation from the giant door…

Lucian thought about it and carefully observed the door that was slowly pushed open.

“Hmm?” Lucian soon discovered something unusual, because when he carefully studied a string of floral patterns on the edge of the gate, he suddenly discovered that these seemingly decorative patterns were actually modified ancient fairy characters.

This is somewhat similar to the artistic words used in some logo designs before he traveled through time. It looks a bit abstract, but if you look carefully, you can still make out each word.

"The Kingdom of Clouds... activated..." Lucian read the text quickly while analyzing the content of this poem that was somewhat similar to a song.

Soon, Lucian slowly translated this "ballad":
Hovering above Moraco is the natural kingdom above the clouds;
The outstanding people who hold the purple leaf realize the insignificance of life here;

Pass through the misty maze and escape the disaster from the heart;
Make a sacrifice to Tuso Wolf, and Mira's blessing will be revealed.

“Ritual…blessing?” Lucian pondered. The poem engraved on the giant cloud gate should be recording the content of the trial of this relic. If Mira’s blessing represents the fairy baptismal pool, then what is the “ritual” offered to the giant wolf Tuso?

However, Lucian no longer had time to think about it, because the giant cloud gate had been slowly opened by the joint efforts of Carly and the fairy leader.
