Because of Ananda, Angor was quite curious about the study of rituals.
According to Ananda, it was Zslade who taught him about rituals. Before he left this morning, he asked Zslade about it.
To his surprise, Zslade told him that he didn't know much about rituals.
As for why Ananda knew about rituals, it was because of a book Zslade gave her. The book was called Miscellaneous Talks on the Processing of Rich Grains, also known as The Book of Grains.
Zslade asked Ananda to work as a cook in his antique shop, so he gave her the book so that she could read it freely.
In the end, what Zslade didn't expect was that the Book of Grains that he had accidentally obtained actually recorded some ritualistic content.
The Book of Grains didn't contain any advanced knowledge, including the rituals. They all focused on the processing of grains, which was known as the "Prayer Ritual".
Prayer Rituals allowed one to quickly process food and enhance the texture of the food. One could even turn the food into Gluttony after a long period of time. This almost involved the field of Gourmet Studies, but the Prayer Ritual was able to do it.
Because of the Prayer Ritual, Ananda's food had a special texture, which led Zslade to notice that the Book of Grains also contained ritual knowledge.
Zslyde tried the prayer ritual himself. For someone like him who was already an official Magus, it was not too difficult. However, for a normal acolyte, it was a test of talent. Ananda was able to master the ritual as a beginner apprentice. Either she was lucky, or she was really talented.
In order to determine what kind of situation Ananda was in, Zslade found a teaching method for the Round Stone Ritual for Ananda to learn. In less than two weeks, Ananda learned it quite well. She even used her own blood to create a set of offerings for the ritual.
From then on, Zslyde was certain that Ananda truly had a talent for ritual studies.
Zslade was both surprised and happy, but at the same time, he felt a little regretful. He was glad that rituals were a very comprehensive school of thought. Whether it was to improve oneself or to strengthen others, there was always something related to it. Ananda's success in learning rituals would be a great help to Zslade. Unfortunately, there was almost no knowledge of rituals in the Southern Region.
Zslade had been searching for knowledge related to the ritual for the past few months. He had even sent people to various major auctions to search, but in the end, he only found the round stone ritual.
Therefore, it was very difficult for Ananda to have any achievements in the study of etiquette in the southern region. The only good thing was that the study of rituals was not suppressed by the Supreme Sect like the study of inscriptions.
That was Zslade's answer. He was willing to tell Angor everything in detail because he hoped that Angor's connections could help him find more knowledge about rituals.
Greya nodded. "I see. So that's why the food at the banquet last night had supernatural properties. At first, I thought that Zslade had specially chosen top-grade ingredients that were close to transcendence. Now that I think about it, it should be because of the prayer ceremony. "
"You know about the prayer ritual?" Angor was curious.
"Of course." Greya nodded. "All Gourmet Wizards must learn about food. Of course, the prayer ritual is one of them. "
"Zslade is right. It's not easy to learn the ritual. Talent is very important. Plus, the ritual takes a long time, and the ingredients turned aren't very powerful. There are more convenient Gourmet Cantrips to do it. That's why only Felicia and I know how to do it in Candy House."
"That Ananda girl you mentioned is very talented to be able to learn the ritual in such a short time." Greya shook her head. "It's a pity that she was born in the southern region, where the study of rituals is practically a wasteland. It's very, very difficult to find a ritual knowledge in the southern region. "
Greya sighed and saw Angor looking at her with a curious gaze.
"Since you know about the ritual, you should know the details of it, right? Can you tell me more about it? "
"You want to learn about rituals?" Greya was puzzled.
Angor shook his head. He knew better than to bite off more than he could chew. He still had a long way to go when it came to alchemy, and he didn't want to spend too much time learning about rituals. He was just curious and wanted to know the basics of it.
Greya considered and decided to share the knowledge with Angor. Brute Cavern's Cloud Library must have something like that. She might be able to earn Angor's favor by sharing the knowledge. With that in mind, Greya decided not to hide anything from Angor.
Angor listened carefully, so he let Azaz take control of the Gondola. It was Azaz's first time to control Gondola, so it flew very slowly. This made the journey more leisurely.
Angor nodded repeatedly in the next ten minutes. He had read books about etiquette before, but he did not know much about it. Greya even demonstrated the prayer ritual during her lecture, which allowed him to quickly build a system framework for what he already knew, which benefited him a lot.
While they were talking, Azaz finally took Gondola to the Parmigi Highlands.
Not long after they arrived, Azaz suddenly pointed at something not far away. "Something's glowing over there!"
Azaz's words attracted everyone's attention.
Following the direction of his finger, they saw a cloud not far away, and in the middle of the cloud, there was a glittering golden door. It looked very luxurious. It was like the entrance to a mysterious treasure trove that was found by a warrior in some legends after overcoming all obstacles.
Because of this, when Azaz saw the door, his voice was mixed with a trace of obvious surprise.
Both Angor and Greya did not seem surprised by what they saw either.
Greya explained to Azaz, "That's a ruin left behind on Parmigi Highlands. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, it's showing up again."
"Ruin?" Azaz's eyes lit up. Could this be a great opportunity?
However, the hope in Aziz's heart was shattered before it could even begin to show its residual heat. Not far away, the magnificent door suddenly opened. An acolyte wearing a loose Magus robe and yawning lazily walked out from within. He looked around and saw the shadow of the Gondola. Then he quickly closed the gate again. Immediately after, the golden door began to slowly disappear.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. We're pretty sure that most of the ruins we found here are private laboratories built by the ancestors of Brute Cavern. 99% of them have already been explored. Some of them are even used as secret bases by people, like the one we just saw. Maybe the apprentice is living in one of them, "Greya said.
"Is that so?" Azaz lowered his head in disappointment.
Azaz controlled the Gondola to fly past the cloud and looked at the gate again, but it was already gone. In the end, he could only sigh and continue heading deeper into Parmigi Highlands.
