Chapter 212: Three-Part Description Pointing to Ninglu
Thomas thought for a moment, then asked.
"Father, do you mean that the Royal Court Members who receive power from you should call themselves Psykers when using their abilities?"
"That is correct."
Ninglu considered that in the coming period, there might be joint operations with other Legions, and Beyonders would inevitably be forced by circumstances to use their Beyonder abilities.
Aside from external manifestations like "Warrior," "Sleepless," and "Sailor," which would be attributed to physical fitness, many Tiers would show obvious differences.
Psykers have diverse abilities, making them the best cover for Beyonders.
Furthermore, with a Librarian background, it would be even harder for anyone to uncover the secrets of the "Psykers."
Every "Psyker," from a common Order Shadow to becoming a Commander, goes through a complex process.
They move from their respective Chapter into the Honor Guard, join the Librarian, return to the Chapter, leave the Librarian, and finally become a Commander; their identities will change several times.
Non-Legion members cannot span across multiple internal Legion organizations to trace the trajectory of the "Psykers," making it difficult to understand them, and naturally even harder to explore the related secrets.
"I understand."
After the Chief Librarian finished speaking, Ninglu continued.
"Szczesny will succeed you as the Lord of the Ninth Battle Company."
Ninglu chose Szczesny from among the many First Captains to serve as Lord.
He was his earliest follower, and his abilities also met the standards of a Lord.
"The Ninth Battle Company will remain under your command for the time being, until the Seventh Legion concludes the campaign on the Seventh Planet."
The gambling duel between Sanchez and Enoch Lashwin had not yet ended, so Ninglu naturally could not withdraw his First Captain and some of the "Tyrant" pathway Beyonders.
Losing some Commanders would inevitably affect the Seventh Legion in the short term.
"The Ninth Battle Company will move into the Battle Moon to replace the Fifth Battle Company."
Ninglu turned his head to say to the Primarch Attendant who was standing by and recording the Primarch's orders.
"The Second Battle Company and the Eleventh Legion will withdraw from the Second Planet for rest, and the Fifth Battle Company will take over to conduct subsequent clearing operations."
"After the Third Battle Company arrives, it will serve as the main force to attack the Orc fortress, with the Fifth Battle Company providing support."
Ninglu learned from the report submitted by the Dark Lord that he had already begun to integrate Modian culture into the Legion, reshaping the Third Battle Company and Modian culture.
Precisely because of this, Bukayo Arshavin did not come in person; he dispatched Second Company Captain Mikhailovsky and Third Company Captain Geleigori to lead half of the Chapter's Order Shadows.
Bukayo followed Ninglu's orders to select elite Modian soldiers to form the Auxilia for the Third Battle Company.
The Third Battle Company and the Auxilia conducted a series of targeted training sessions on Modian.
The Third Battle Company strengthened urban warfare and extended it to warship combat and satellite space warfare.
The five fortresses on Flame Wheel II will be the litmus test for the new Third Battle Company.
After Ninglu carried out a series of Legion redeployments, he asked the "Mystery Pryer."
"Have you gained anything regarding the language and rituals in occultism?"
"Father, in addition to the occult language materials I sent to the Primarch Attendant, I have been researching the primitive beliefs of various worlds."
"Among them, there is a deity known as the Fire God, whom his followers address as such when performing rituals."
The "Mystery Pryer" said with deep eyes and a profound tone.
"Great Fire God,
You are the master of volcanoes,
You are the Crimson King who wields the flames,
..."
Ninglu leaned back on his throne, taking the ritual process described by the "Mystery Pryer" into his mind one by one.
After the "Mystery Pryer" finished recounting all the rituals he had collected from various worlds, Ninglu closed his eyes slightly to analyze the Ritual Magic.
The "Black Emperor" pathway did not grant him abilities in this area, so although Ninglu had some related knowledge in his memory, he did not attempt it lightly.
The Warp has numerous minor gods and demigods that appear and disappear; even he only knew of a few, such as Vashtorr.
Once the direction is wrong, there is no telling what unknown existence might be provoked.
To ensure success, Ninglu collected myths and rituals from Terra and various races.
Arsena, under his instruction, also collected myths and legends of various races; in particular, the prayers obtained from the Fenris Cairn had great reference value.
Ninglu spent a considerable amount of time analyzing all the data, weeding out the ineffective parts, and gradually perfecting the ritual process.
What the "Mystery Pryer" just said confirmed his thoughts.
【It is indeed as I remember: Ritual Magic can be broken down into three parts.
The first part is the sacrificial portion to please or arouse the interest of the corresponding existence; the second part is the incantation portion describing the object of prayer; the third part is the substantive portion of what help is to be obtained.
Each part needs to be clarified using formatted corresponding languages and symbolic signs.】
Ninglu's brain spun rapidly; the symbolic signs would use those of the "Black Emperor."
The language would use the Dunn Language, which contains mysterious power, so the most critical part is the incantation.
【I must ensure the directional description points to myself and links me with the "Kingdom of Disorder."】
Ninglu does not yet have the ability to listen to prayers; to receive prayers across the galaxy or even the Warp, he can only rely on the Source Essence he possesses.
【What description should I use to accurately point to the "Kingdom of Disorder" and point to me?
The structure is fixed: a three-part description.
The first sentence: "Black Emperor of the Order Shadow!"】
Ninglu further analyzed his inspiration to confirm its feasibility.
【"Black Emperor" is the shadow of order, and I have already named the Eleventh Legion the Order Shadow.
Although I am not directly called the Black Emperor, the monarch is a synonym, and since I did not directly call myself the Black Emperor but used monarch instead, that is precisely the shadow.
This description can point to the "Black Emperor" and also point to the real me.】
After Ninglu confirmed the first sentence, he began to ponder the second.
【"Mysterious Master of the Disordered Kingdom!"
This line points to the "Kingdom of Disorder"!
Source Essence is the core of ritual prayer.】
After Ninglu confirmed the second sentence, he began to think about the final one.
【The final sentence should be related to the authority of the "Kingdom of Disorder"; order has already been embodied, so the final sentence should emphasize rules.
"King of Light and Shadow who holds the rules!"
The "Judge" establishes rules, which is light; the "Black Emperor" tampers with rules, which is shadow.】
After confirming the ritual language, Ninglu opened his eyes and looked at the "Mystery Pryer" and the "Deduction Student".
"I need you to cooperate with me in performing a ritual."
"All this time, you have been unable to unleash the power I bestowed upon you."
"You cannot use Ritual Magic because you have no object of prayer."
The Primarch Attendant heard this and looked at Ninglu with anticipation.
Thomas hesitated for a moment; what the Primarch said was faith, a violation of the Imperial Truth.
This went against the education he had received in the past.
While the "Mystery Pryer" hesitated, he suddenly thought of the Heart-Slayer in the Crystal Illusion; he could clearly feel that it truly existed.
He then thought about how the Imperial Truth could not explain the "Mystery Pryer" ability he had obtained—how could he gain such an ability just by drinking a bottle of potion?
Thomas's gaze became firm; what the Gene-Father said was what he would practice.
The Primarch sensed the change in Thomas's emotions and only continued speaking after he had made his decision.
"Now, I will tell you an object of prayer."
"Father, to whom shall we pray?"
The "Mystery Pryer," whose ability in Ritual Magic was stronger than the "Deduction Student's," asked curiously.
"You will know, but before that, I must teach you a technique."
Ninglu switched to telepathy, sending a Mind Pulse to them.
"Ritual Magic requires a Spirituality environment without interference, which we must create ourselves."
"The method is to first enter Meditation, accumulate spirit, and then use a medium to guide our Spirituality out to construct it with the surroundings."
As Ninglu spoke, he picked up a crystal box from the desk, opened the lid, and took out a small black knife.
To the Primarch, it was a small knife; to an ordinary person, it was a dagger.
He walked around the desk, came before the two, and opened his palm.
"This Ritual Dagger is made using Double-Number Black Gold."
Arsena looked into Ninglu's hand and recognized from the white, irregular {XI} and {XXXIII} on the matte black metal that it was from Shuanshushan, which produced it in a high-gravity world.
"This technique is very simple," Ninglu said.
"Hold the Ritual Dagger and chant the following content in the Dunn Language;
'I sanctify you, blade of ritual!
I purify you, let you serve me in the ritual!
In the name of the Black Emperor, you are sanctified!'"
Ninglu chanted the short and powerful language in the Dunn Language. After finishing the chant, he pointed the tip of the blade outward and began to walk around the desk.
With every step he took, the "Mystery Pryer" and the "Deduction Student" could feel invisible power erupting from the Ritual Dagger.
Spirituality connected with the air, forming a sealed wall.
Ninglu finished the circle, and the desk was isolated from the surroundings.
"The Spirituality environment has been constructed," Ninglu said afterward, "it is easier to dispel."
As Ninglu spoke, he stabbed with the Ritual Dagger, and the invisible walls all around were punctured.
Ninglu opened two more boxes, inside which lay two small black knives, one long and one short.
The long one was only slightly shorter than his own, and the short one was a small knife in the sense of an ordinary person.
