"You all sat down. Okay, let's get started.One by one is to be subjected to the ritual.Does anyone want to do it first? "
"Yes, then I will."
"Oh, just now. What's your name?"
"It's Walter. Thank you."
Dozens of mercenary candidates who have entered the church.
Let them sit in a chair in the church once.
From there, I decided to perform a ritual called a blood wedge one by one.
Walter was the first to make his name.
You've heard a lot before in front of the church.
Anyone could have sent that Walter forward.
"It's Hannah here who performs the ritual. Hannah, say hi."
"Yes, well, Walter, over here. Let the ritual begin."
And let Hannah take care of Walter.
In fact, Hannah was supposed to perform this ritual.
The blood wedge sends my blood into the subject's body.
For that reason, it may be normal for me to perform the ritual.
But I tried not to do it.
It is also for the future.
It was said that if I could not perform the ritual without me, I would be troubled when the number of residents of the city increased from now on.
Besides, it takes too long for me to perform rituals on hundreds or thousands of people.
Because the shorter you spend on each person, the more time you spend, the more time you spend on it.
Above all, as the performer of the ritual, it would not be very good for me to be in the front.
This blood wedge is a method of forcing painful punishment if the rules are not followed.
It's probably very helpful when putting people together.
However, there was a problem that it was easy to buy disgust.
What if, for some reason, someone had to feel pain over and over again?
You might have wished you hadn't had a ritual like this.
Or you might hate someone who looks like this.
In addition, may I tell others about it?
You might say that I had a strange ritual that caused me a lot of trouble.
Just because I was told that doesn't mean I feel depressed or anything, but I'm sure it's not very interesting.
More importantly, I thought it would be best not to know that a human being called Alphonse Barca has the technique of influencing other people's bodies.
That's why Hannah was promoted as a substitute.
I went out of my way to get Hannah to work at the church so that I could perform the blood wedge as a ritual without me.
Incidentally, the blood wedge uses the red and black magic stone.
Choose the biggest and most beautiful Magic Stone and Garius polishes and decorates it.
As a result, a magic stone with a great appearance was prepared for the ceremony.
Let the Magic Stone take in as much of my blood as Norn the Blood Soldier.
However, it does not appear as an armor like a bloody soldier and is used as it is.
Slightly injure the finger of the person undergoing the ritual so that the blood spilled from it is applied to the Magic Stone.
Then, confirming the condition and vowing to abide by it, a very small amount of blood from Norn's residual thoughts enters the other person's body from the wound on his fingertip.
As a result, penalties will be imposed if conditions are subsequently broken.
Automating a series of ritual flows in this way prevented me from moving directly.
This is the math that the blood wedge ritual will not be noticed as my magic.
"Do you swear to abide by these commitments as a Vulcan mercenary and to act in a way that is worthy of being part of this city?"
"Yes, I swear."
"I have confirmed my vows.Okay, here's your hand. I will now ask you to bring a drop of your blood to heaven. Are you sure? "
"Yes"
"... I have confirmed the success of the ritual.This will make you part of the Vulcan mercenary regiment. Good luck. "
Hannah is also working hard.
Hannah, a former orphan and from a ghetto town, was educated by Ai so that she could behave as if she were in public without any problems.
But she's still not an adult girl.
We try not to underestimate the mercenaries gathered here as performers of rituals before.
It's not gorgeous, but church clothing looks great on it.
And it seems that I'm still using the magic I've been working on to talk to you with magic in my voice.
They use magic not to activate [Intimidation] like me, but to impress the opponent with a sense of security and trustworthiness.
Vulcania had a magical user named [Singing], the opera's singing princess, who impressed people through songs, but it might be similar to that.
In addition, Hannah's own magic was activated at the end of the ceremony.
Hannah's hand stretched out on a magic stone.
Hannah's hand is on fire.
Both hands are wrapped in fire, but it burns from the palm to the other person's body.
Apparently, it's not hot to touch the fire.
The success of the ceremony is conveyed by the slightly warm performance, which conveys a flame that warms the whole body comfortably through Hannah's hand.
This surprised Walter and the others.
Some people are swallowing gloves and chestnuts because they think they have had an incredible ceremony.
The ritual to Walter was over, while others lined up to receive rituals from Hannah.
Thus, the ceremony to join the Balkan mercenary regiment was carried out beautifully by Hannah.
