Chapter 3705 Transfer Ceremony
When they arrived at the wishing tree, Haman's mission of leading the way came to an end.
Although he was still curious about some of Angel's behavior, he couldn't ask any more questions at this moment. He could only nod to Angel and then turn around and leave.
After Haman disappeared at the end of the street, Angel looked up at the huge wishing tree not far away.
This is a unique wishing tree carved from crystal.
It is very tall. If we use the analogy of floors, it is at least five or six stories high.
In the Eighth Town, the wishing tree may not be the tallest, but it is definitely the most special. Because other buildings of this height must be full of neon signs and projected advertisements, full of light pollution, but this wishing tree does not have any neon colors, only the faint light from the incandescent street lamps under the tree.
But even though the light is so weak, it still shines brightly when projected onto the huge and magnificent wishing tree, bringing a touch of pure vitality to this underground block full of light pollution.
The wishing tree is made of crystal, with its branches crisscrossing, as if it is the hands of elves growing out of the ground.
It is filled with floating lights like fireflies.
Extremely beautiful and dreamy.
Next to the wishing tree is the headquarters of the homeless house.
Unlike the Wishing Tree, the Wandering House Headquarters presents a rough and mysterious mix of styles. It is like a theater, with walls made of worn metal and heavy rocks, inlaid with flashing electronic screens and ancient magic runes.
Angel had seen these magic runes on the streets of the Eighth Town.
According to Harman, these runes were carved by noble wizards and are the original form of fashionable magic.
However, after Angel carefully observed these magic runes, he found that there was nothing special about them. At least, in the world within the copy, they were very ordinary and there were no energy fluctuations.
There are a lot of people at the homeless house because there is a sparkling show going on there today.
This so-called shining show is actually an alloy armor shell, an enhanced version of Xiaopang's "Sacred Cloth". It is said that a group called "Late Light" in the underground block launched a shining series of suits. Because it will be sold in the Wandering House soon, before that, a show was held to showcase their products in advance.
This kind of show stage will have "lottery" activities, as well as various free mini-games that give away daily props, so the residents of the Eighth Town will go to get the gifts even if they don't buy the shiny suit.
Perhaps because of the "Shining Show", a large number of people were attracted to the homeless house, and the wishing tree became much quieter.
There were only a few vendors setting up stalls and a few couples flirting under the wishing tree.
Angel walked towards the wishing tree.
However, just as he was about to reach the wishing tree, he turned a corner and came to a nearby street vendor.
These street vendors... were also there when Ingres observed from a bird's eye view.
But at that time, they were selling some romantic gadgets or food, and their target customers were obviously the couples near the wishing tree.
But when Ingres came here, he found that there were many more souvenirs and various props for making wishes on the stalls.
Red ropes, wishing stickers, aromatherapy, magic candles, lucky feathers... and so on.
The client to whom these things were directed was, without a doubt, Ingres.
Angel estimated that it was the group of punk teenagers at the gate of the Eighth Town who informed these vendors, and then they put their goods on the stalls.
I have to say that this kind of targeted product is quite effective.
Because Ingres was actually planning to buy some.
Ingres does not believe in these so-called "lucky wishing props". They are just some handicrafts that have been given the gimmick of "lucky" by the merchants.
But these wishing props and many accessories are common in ceremonies.
For example, red ropes, candles, gems...these can all be used as props in luck-changing rituals.
Angel originally wanted to take a shortcut when arranging the luck-changing ritual, using illusion to create some gadgets to set up the ritual, but since there were physical props for sale here, there was no need to use illusion to simulate it.
No matter how real the objects created by illusion are, their core is ultimately illusory.
The luck-changing ritual he was going to arrange this time was actually very popular in the Southern Region... but it was most likely to have no effect. Because ritual studies were an imported subject in the Southern Region, they would be suppressed by extreme sects. The luck-changing ritual could be so popular, and the extreme sects did nothing to stop it. In Angel's opinion, it was most likely to have no luck bonus effect.
Even if there is an effect, it probably won't be too obvious.
However, Angel didn't care about it. He came to the wishing tree to set up a luck-changing ceremony, just like the group of card-drawing players on Earth who had to bathe and wash their hands before drawing cards.
A way to strengthen your self-belief.
On a demon-free Earth, this method may be of no use; but in the extraordinary world, strengthening one’s self-belief may give birth to the “Law of Attraction.”
Use faith to increase the probability of attraction.
There are actually no strict restrictions on the props needed for the luck-changing ceremony, but three prerequisites must be met.
First, create a comfortable atmosphere that relaxes both the body and mind.
Generally, to create this kind of atmosphere, people choose a quiet space, release aromatherapy, or light scented candles to create the atmosphere through the fragrance.
Second, the ceremony must be held in a lighted space. The light cannot be too bright and must fit a comfortable atmosphere.
This arrangement is also very simple. If it is natural light, it is either the morning glow or the evening glow, both of which are not blazing and gentle lights.
If you don't choose natural light, you can also prepare some props, such as the flame of a lit candle. But it should be noted that this kind of flame should not be too jumping, but a quiet light.
Third, chant the ritual spell to change your luck, then take out the lucky item you have prepared and offer it to the person you are praying for.
For example, if you are praying to a god, you can offer sacrifices to the statue; if you are praying to the mountains and rivers, you can simply bury something in the ground or throw it into a river, and the ceremony is considered complete.
This is the process of the luck-changing ceremony. The props used in this process depend entirely on what props you can prepare at the moment.
Because the props are completely flexible and easy to arrange, and the process is not complicated, Ingres chose to give it a try.
Anyway, it only takes a few minutes.
……
The vendor saw Angel coming with a faint smile on his face.
——Those who come to make a wish are indeed no match for various lucky items.
"Sir, are you going to buy a wishing item? What kind of wish do you want to make?"
The vendor did not immediately ask Ingres what he wanted to buy, but instead asked about Ingres's wishes.
Angel: “What’s the point?”
The vendor smiled and said, "Of course there are some rules. Different types of wishes require different wishing props!"
For example, some people want to make some vague wishes: a happy life, good health, etc.
Some people also make specific wishes: for example, they hope that their sick family members will get better soon, or that they can find a job...
“Although they are all about making wishes, the situations are different, and the props purchased must be different…” When the vendor said this, he whispered in his heart: Different ways of making wishes will have different purchasing power, and his sales methods will also be different.
For example, if the other party is praying for wealth, or praying for illness to stay away from their family... then you can't sell them something too expensive, because there is a high probability that they can't afford it. You should recommend something small and exquisite.
On the contrary, it recommends something flashy and superficial.
In short, vendors have their own evaluation methods for each wisher, and have prepared wishing props that can be used in various scenarios.
Focus on one thing, and don’t leave empty-handed when you come.
Of course, the vendor would not tell Angel these words. He just smiled and said, "If the props used for making a wish conflict, the wish may not come true, so you must first determine what you want to wish for."
Seeing the vendor looking over, Angor thought for a moment and said, "I want to wish that I can get gold when I draw a card."
Merchant: “???”
What is card drawing? What is gold?
Angell: "You can think of it as picking out the first prize by chance."
After Angel said this, the vendor immediately understood. The Wandering House not far away was holding a Shining Show, and there was a lucky draw. The grand prize was said to be a Shining Series set!
The vendor guessed that Angel wanted to draw the shiny suit.
That being said, Angel's purchasing power should not be too low. After all, the Shining Suit is an alloy mecha, which requires year-round maintenance after purchase. The maintenance fee is not cheap, costing dozens of Modern Coins every month.
Therefore, in the eyes of the vendors, Angle's normal monthly expenses are at least hundreds of Modern Coins.
Even though a few dozen Modern Coins were few in number, in the underground district, the average monthly salary was only one or two hundred Modern Coins. The fact that Angel could spare a few dozen Modern Coins to maintain the Shiny Suit was enough to show that he had a good family background.
At least it's a well-off family.
Well then... Xiaokang Home would like to recommend the Xiaokang Blessing Package.
Thinking of this, the vendor began to talk eloquently, recommending wishing items with an average price of about thirty Modern Coins. After weighing the cost, he felt that this was the limit of the extra expenses that Angor could afford.
Ingres was unaware that the vendors had already positioned themselves as middle class.
He saw nothing wrong with the vendor's recommendation.
Anyway, we have already come to the wishing tree and are preparing to hold the wishing ceremony, which is already the ultimate metaphysics. So there is no big deal if we continue to believe in the vendors' "metaphysics".
Besides, the wishing props he recommended were not the most expensive ones sold on the street stalls. In Ingres' opinion, this vendor might really have his own ideas about making wishes.
So, at the recommendation of the vendor, Ingres bought the props he recommended.
Includes: magic incense candles, lucky coins, rubies, red ropes and magic pockets.
The total value is one hundred and thirty Modern coins.
Merchant: "..."
When the vendor saw that Ingres chose more than one wishing item and spent a hundred yuan in the end, he already regretted it.
He originally thought that Angel's purchasing power was limited to one wishing item, but he ended up spending so much at once without even blinking an eye.
This is definitely a big customer!
One hundred and thirty Modern Coins was basically his turnover for half a month.
If he had known that the other party was so wealthy, he would not have recommended the Xiaokang set meal, but would have gone straight to the pig-killing dish!
The vendor wanted to change his words and ask Ingres to buy more expensive items; but he really couldn't find a reason to change his words, and if he did, Ingres might discover his habit of ripping off his customers.
He could only sigh in his heart and acknowledge that he had suffered a Waterloo today.
It seems he still needs to work on judging people's purchasing power.
……
Through his extrasensory perception, Angel had actually noticed the ups and downs of the vendor's mind, but he didn't care.
Anyway, he has already bought the props he wanted.
What’s more, the price is not expensive.
He had previously extorted more than a thousand Modern coins from the young couple. With the help of the tour guide and this consumption, he only spent a hundred and forty Modern coins, leaving more than nine hundred left.
Carrying the prepared props, Ingres came to the wishing tree.
The wishing tree is placed in a pool with pure white floor lights shining high into the sky, which not only illuminates the wishing tree but also makes the water surface sparkle.
Such a dreamy pool is naturally crowded with young couples.
Angel walked around the pool for a long time before he found a corner of crystal stones behind the wishing tree.
These crystal stones should be the leftovers from the carving of the wishing tree. They are now placed here casually as embellishments.
The crystal stones were large and dense, and Angle chose a stone close to the pool, which needed to be squeezed through a gap. The gap was very narrow, and if it was a little fatter, it would probably get stuck in the gap between the stones.
In addition, even if you squeeze in, there is only an open space of two or three meters squared by the pool, and because it is behind the wishing tree, you can't see the dreamlike scenery. For this reason, no one has ever set foot here.
But for Ingres, this is a very good space.
It fully satisfies the "quiet" ceremony environment.
Next, it’s time to create a “comfortable” atmosphere for the ceremony.
Thinking of this, Angel sat down cross-legged, took out the magic incense candle he had bought before, lit it, and placed it by the pool.
The flame from the burning candle illuminates this small open space, and it emits a faint fragrance when it is lit.
A candle directly meets the two prerequisites of the luck-changing ritual.
It can be said to be a very cost-effective wishing prop.
Angel had originally wanted to buy more expensive aromatherapy to go with the glowing gems, but since the vendor recommended the magic scented candles, the aromatherapy and gems were no longer necessary.
After lighting the magic incense and candles, Angel sat cross-legged on the ground, adjusting his state of mind to make himself more in tune with the surrounding environment and feel more comfortable.
While waiting for the aroma to evaporate.
During this process, Angel was also stabilizing the flame, and only started the next step when it became quiet and motionless.
The second step is to create lucky things.
While chanting the spell of the luck-changing ritual, Angel took out the lucky coins, rubies, red ropes and magic pockets he had bought earlier.
After putting the ruby into the magic pocket, I tied a lucky knot with a red rope.
Finally, hang the coins that represent luck on the lucky knot, and this simple "lucky thing" is ready.
The third and final step is to offer the "lucky thing" to the protagonist of this luck-changing ceremony - the wishing tree.
