Chapter 1532: Chapter 1526: Entering the Seal
The ritual itself has boundaries and a center.
Yet the position where the gateway to the seal can be opened is unrestricted.
Ronald and his two companions, who had long communicated with Orel, don’t even need to leave the library; simply singing a verse as described by the other party is enough to open the gate right in front of them.
"Costate, you do it." Ronald efficiently handed the task to the maid.
Costate cleared her throat.
The next second, a melody distinctly different from the orc’s song on the street rang out in the library:
"The song in the dream gradually fades away, it promised the eternity between man and world.
False and real have no boundaries, the repeated song is imprisoned in mottled blurs..."
The song gradually rose.
Costate perfectly replicated the method left by Orel to open the door with her melody.
As the song proceeded, the ritual that shrouded the entire city gathered the song’s power and then shot straight towards the sky from the center.
Buzz—
The gathered sound power transformed into a tangible wave, an uninterrupted sonic wave rushes to the sky, distorting the air above the clouds.
The sky of the "Forestry Song" world is not very high.
When this sound wave hit the sky, it quickly stirred a large, wave-on-wave intense distortion.
This power did not destroy the barrier of the world but shattered an invisible conceptual gap. A small portion of the dispersing song was thrown downward, merging with the ever-present song power in the "Forestry Song".
In an instant, countless songs rang out in the city.
The orcs were not afraid of this phenomenon.
In their culture, this is the last celebration of the entire festival. Thus, in the final moments of the festival, the orcs in the streets became more active, each singing along with the song closest to them.
The whole city was immersed in a sea of songs, the atmosphere was joyful and warm.
However, the external joy could not affect the atmosphere inside the library.
The ballad sung by Costate became increasingly effective.
The gathered song power in the void, guided by this unique melody, then manifested on the second floor of the library.
The external ritual might be grand, but inside there was only soft singing.
The tremendous power followed the melody, merging and accumulating in the guidance, finally taking form.
A strip structure resembling a Möbius strip.
It gleamed brilliantly in the air, forming a circular corridor before the three waiting for the seal to open.
—This is the condensation of power.
—And simultaneously the entrance to the "Seven-string Seal".
At the moment Costate’s song finished, the structure of the light strip finally stabilized, forming a tangible entrance.
"..."
In silence, Ronald and his companions exchanged glances.
None of them spoke but instead nodded in agreement, and then walked through the light ring one by one.
Boom—
Falling, a sensation of weightlessness.
When Ronald stepped onto the road to the holy capital, his body first responded with such a feeling.
The ritual opened the passage allowing them to enter the seal, this was an incredibly uncanny experience. The song’s power circled around the three, playing one melody after another.
Meanwhile, this power also protected their physical safety while continuously approaching a deeper layer of space.
Then, something more interesting happened.
While entering the seal, on Ronald’s right hand, the original inscription suddenly appeared—Bradshaw’s Railway Guide is taking effect!
If he wished, he could immediately summon a punctual train, whistling through the void, and instantly break free from the constraints of the "Seven-string Seal"!
"The world isolation of the ’Forestry Song’ doesn’t count, but this here certainly qualifies as a space-time spell... Truly worthy of sealing the holy capital." Ronald marveled, his eyes brightened.
Of course, he couldn’t activate the function of Bradshaw’s Railway Guide right now. After all, his goal was to enter the seal, not to send himself away from here.
But aside from confirming the time-space element involved in the sealing spell, Ronald felt a little more assured.
Now he had an extra card.
If he encountered unexpected issues in the "Seven-string Seal" that he couldn’t resolve.
At that time, Ronald could directly use Bradshaw’s Railway Guide to quickly escape the crisis.
This was a situation he hadn’t anticipated before entering the seal, and it’s a rare piece of good news!
Just as Ronald’s mind was occupied with these thoughts.
The song surrounding him suddenly paused!
The sound transformed from an orderly and elegant melody into a chaotic noise that only felt noisy and jarring.
"What’s happening? Is there a problem with the ritual?"
At this instant, Ronald realized the situation had changed.
The chaos in the city hadn’t affected the overall ritual.
But these minor disturbances might cause some slight flaws in their transmission process!
Snap—
Just as things took a sudden turn for the worse and Ronald prepared to respond.
The twisting lights in front of him suddenly changed.
Then the sensation of fall and weightlessness also vanished immediately as his feet touched the ground.
—Success!
—He succeeded in entering the seal!
The goal achieved after days of waiting, but Ronald’s expression turned solemn.
Because at this moment beside him, he could not see his maid Costate nor the holy priest Martha.
The three of them entered through the opened seal together.
After landing, only Ronald remained!
"Costate? Martha?"
Ronald raised an eyebrow but quickly recited an incantation:
"It’s called Styx,
The black water flows downward, to the foot of the dark and steep cliff..."
The Divine Comedy spell activated, Ronald’s ability to sense emotions began to spread.
Immediately, a large number of human emotional activities began to reflect in his heart, and the number was far beyond imagination!
Ronald directed his gaze around.
He currently stood in the middle of a rather wide avenue, wide enough to accommodate four or five carriages passing side by side.
On the road’s left side, it seemed to be a row of buildings for commercial activities, while on the right side, in addition to these, there was another avenue leading into the distance, forming a T-junction here.
"What’s going on here?"
Observing his surroundings, Ronald frowned.
In his sensing, there were clearly a lot of human activities on the street, even within those shops.
But what he saw with his eyes was an empty street.
The discrepancy between the spell’s probe and the observed scene was clearly not a pleasing situation.
"Whew—"
Ronald took a deep breath and immediately adjusted his state to its best, guarding against any imminent attack in the surroundings.
However, time ticked by slowly.
In the spell’s sensing, the entire street and even this city operated normally, but Ronald himself was quite safe concurrently, with no attack targeting him.
"What is happening?"
The eerie environment, enemies or attacks that were repeatedly unseen.
Puzzled, Ronald even briefly activated "Humanity’s Limit" for experimentation.
But the factual result was—he was indeed quite safe!
Even though the surrounding environment was exceptionally strange, there wasn’t any minuscule aggression, nor did it cause any other danger or trouble.
"Hmm? Found her!"
"Costate... the distance is somewhat far..."
Ronald sensed Costate’s presence again.
Although the master and servant were far apart, their states were quite normal, having not encountered any life-threatening mishap.
"The interference with the ritual only affected our entry position within the seal, nothing more."
Reassured about his companion’s safety, Ronald breathed a sigh of relief:
"In that case, let’s check out the specific situation here."
