Facing the doubts of this female diviner, Sheyan chuckled and replied.
"Of course not."
This gypsy diviner appeared to be a professional in this field. After carefully inspecting, she finally nodded.
"It's real. This tail was severed from a living Chupacabra. Moreover, for some unknown reason, it's relatively fresh, as though it was severed just recently. If such a thing exists, an alchemist can indeed extract it, or even imitate it into a fragrant ointment. "
Jiejie started pacing back and forth within the grand tent, as though her heart was in an intense struggle. Suddenly, she spoke out.
"Regardless, we cannot afford to offend that formidable existence that sealed you, or the consequences will be endless. Therefore, we cannot directly remove the seal for you. Instead, we can help you weaken the strength of the seal to its weakest state. Then, you can simply find a priest or church to pour holy water on it, and release the seal. That's all I can do. "
Sheyan replied indifferently.
"But how can I tell that you've already weakened the strength of the seal to its weakest state?"
Jiejie snorted angrily.
"Gypsies never lie!"
Sheyan pondered a little before replying.
"Fine! But I want to witness the entire ceremony. "
The few diviners glanced at each other before replying.
"That's not a problem. But remember, you cannot move around carelessly, and cannot make any noise. Furthermore, only you can watch. "
Reef shrugged his shoulders regretfully and turned to leave. Sheyan laughed heartily and replied.
"Deal."
*****
After a series of hurried preparations, the lanterns in the grand tent were extinguished, and the rest were cleared away. Only twelve gypsy diviners remained in a circle, with their fingers interlocked before their chests. Their lips were constantly muttering as they encircled the two sculptures behind the throne.
All of a sudden, the two sculptures actually gave off a feeling of 'coming alive'. Their four precious gemstone eyes shockingly shot out four rays akin to the setting sun, scorching out distinct streaks on the ground. After a few more glances, one would feel an indescribable swelling pain in one's eyes.
After waiting for a while, the magic array on the ground gradually took shape. It looked like an evil hexagram array!
Following that, a red-veiled diviner let out an indescribable strange cry. It was hoarse and sharp. A few armored warriors walked in with expressionless faces, escorting a few men who were covered in black hoods.
At present, Sheyan's expression turned solemn. He realized he had underestimated the difficulty of weakening the seal of the gypsy diviners. From the looks of it, they were shockingly preparing for a human sacrifice?
While Sheyan was pondering, the armored warriors had already stabbed the men in the back and pushed them into the formation.
The strength of these warriors couldn't be considered great. Yet from their actions, Sheyan could tell that they were stabbing their blades into the heart from the back. Clean and efficient, they instantly killed. Moreover, the blood that flowed out from their wounds wouldn't dry up. Evidently, they were exceedingly proficient in murderous techniques.
After pushing 13 corpses into the formation, the formation was already dripping with blood. It appeared mournful and horrifying, with blood and flesh bubbles oozing out. The blood seemed to possess a life of its own as it crisscrossed within the formation. It was exceptionally horrifying, as though the hexagram array was a cross section of a giant's waist, and was still on the brink of death.
Gradually, black fog filled the magic array, and an extremely loud rumbling sound came from underground. It was as if something huge was struggling and twisting inside. For some reason, the entire tent was filled with the sound of wind whistling, and it was overflowing with a fierce feeling. Gradually, when the wind blew on people's faces, it was as if it was a knife, causing a burning pain.
Within the gaps of the black mists, one could faintly observe distinct fissures emerging from the center of the formation. It was as though something was violently arching upwards. Very quickly, a gigantic egg emerged from the center of the formation. It was formed from the dissolved flesh of the 13 corpses. The egg's surface was mangled with flesh and blood, as dozens of grief-stricken and sobbing faces hovered around. Their cries were shrill and mournful.
At this moment, 'Jiejie' tossed the 'Diary of Morgan Fokke' into the formation. Instantly, the top of the gigantic egg cracked open, as a crimson blood mist sprayed out. It suspended the 'Diary of Morgan Fokke' in mid-air.
At this moment, Sheyan could distinctly observe that the diary of Morgan Fokke was shockingly enveloped in layers of square radiances. Those radiances were perfectly straight and crisscrossed, overlapping layer upon layer. It appeared as though it was trying to confine time and space, causing one to involuntarily associate it with gloomy clouds densely covering the sky with incessant flashes of lightning.
All of a sudden, Jiejie's mouth started chanting a long and tedious sentence. Sheyan was completely unable to comprehend what she was saying. Instead, Jiejie's chanting was incomparably smooth. Listening to her words, one would instantly feel as though her voice was distorting time and space, and disorienting one's vision. At this moment, Sheyan inexplicably recalled the rapping style of black rappers. He reckoned that if Jiejie were to return to the present world, she would be able to make a name for herself.
As Jiejie's intonation began to rise and fall, the egg gradually became huge and fiery red. The expressions of the dozens of human faces on it also became distorted. The flesh gradually melted and dripped onto the ground with a sizzling sound. The smoke that was emitted was blue, but it did not disperse.
Under the continuous fumigation of the fumes, the layers of square radiances surrounding the 'Diary of Morgan Fokke' gradually dimmed. Like shattered glass, they peeled off piece by piece, before vanishing into the air. It was a silent and mysterious scene.
Nevertheless, the gigantic egg's volume was rapidly shrinking. Jiejie was long prepared, as she continuously ordered people to push in black balaclavas to be killed. Hence, there wouldn't be any issues of insufficient energy and nutrition.
At present, Sheyan finally understood why those gypsy males outside were living such a lifeless life. Indeed, under such precarious circumstances, even the most talented and promising male could only live a desolate life under the threat of numbness and hopelessness.
Presently, the seal was rapidly peeling off, and soon, it was the final layer. Jiejie exhaled deeply, as she whispered to Sheyan.
"After this layer of seal is peeled off, the last remaining layer of seal is actually the soul of Morgan Fokke lingering on it. Its resentment will be a powerful support for the seals that were destroyed before, but it is relatively weak on its own. "
Sheyan replied with an "Oh" before continuing.
"I understand your meaning. A brave warrior is formidable because of his robust and powerful heart. However, his heart can be easily pierced by a knife."
Jiejie nodded and replied.
"You can casually find a church, or a priest to sprinkle holy water on it. Then, the original owner's vengeful soul will be released. However, I must warn you, this process is exceedingly dangerous."
Sheyan bowed slightly and replied.
"Your reminder has benefited me greatly …..."
Yet just as the penultimate layer of seal was about to completely shatter, a layer of faint haze suddenly appeared within the hexagram array. Closely following, everyone could feel an indescribable bone-piercing chill. Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the surface of the array was shockingly covered in a layer of thin ice. The ice layer was rapidly condensing, as it released chilling creaking noises. The surface of the ice layer was emitting strands of chilling air, sparkling and translucent. Then, it rapidly extended towards the gigantic egg.
At this moment, the diviner who was previously sent flying by Reef's fist shrieked mournfully. Together with the other diviner, they simultaneously leaned against the two statues behind Jiejie. After the two of them made contact with the statues on the left and right, they could see the statue's eyes emitting four rays of red brilliance. The ice layer within the hexagram array actually started to melt bit by bit.
However, Sheyan also noticed that the two diviners' exposed smooth skin was rapidly transforming into their faces. They rapidly sagged, aged, and filled with age spots. It seemed like they were using their vitality to sustain the magic of the two mysterious statues!
Witnessing the blue mist within the gigantic egg rising in spirals, until the seal on Morgan Fokke's diary was finally dissolved, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. But at this moment, an incomparably mournful neigh suddenly drifted in from the air!
Sheyan's pupils contracted, he had heard that neigh before. It was shockingly the neigh of the bewitching giant horse Momore!
Logically speaking, the current Tortuga port should have withered and dilapidated, and degenerated into a tiny fishing village. Ever since the battle between Little Lord Fokke and the Black Pearl, this originally bustling port could be said to have suffered heavy losses. Strictly speaking, whether Little Lord Fokke and the demonic horse Momore could survive after that battle was a question. Hence, Sheyan didn't place much importance on this man and horse. Truthfully speaking, Sheyan's vigilance towards Ammand was even higher than Little Lord Fokke!
This wasn't due to Sheyan's carelessness, it was because he had only seen this Lord twice from afar on the streets of Tortuga port. He was completely unaware of Little Lord Fokke's awesomeness. Only now did Sheyan realize that he had greatly underestimated the capabilities of this' Lord Fokke '. In actual fact, how many people were able to ride on the Black Pearl with their swords and horses? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
