Vincent's expression was frozen after seeing a group of people bringing a small altar onto the stage. It seems to be a necessary item to complete the ritual.
Furthermore, he didn't expect that the Immortal Stone is an item that can be used to communicate with another deity! Magic God?
Is there something like that?
Vincent tried to recall but he couldn't remember any gods or goddesses with such an arrogant title.
Furthermore, if there really is a god of magicians, then his name would surely be known and there would be many records of his existence.
Anyway, the Project Leader wasn't finished speaking yet. He seems to have recalled that Vincent is new to this so he added.
"Aside from the Immortal Stone that you will have to hand over, the blessing or modification, you'll receive needs a corresponding material that will come from us. Hmm... It's better to show it to you… Ciara, you're first."
Ciara stood up and Vincent realized that this girl was one of the few who kept staring at him with a hostile gaze.
She appears quite distressed over something and anyone could tell that her health is not in a good condition.
She then received something from the Project Leader. It is a glass jar that contains something Vincent didn't know…
He then saw Ciara kneel in front of the altar while holding the glass jar and immortal stone in her hands…
It was at this point that the old Project Leader spoke while looking at Vincent.

It is not enough… The jar here contains another sacrifice that will allow her to please the Magic God into fulfilling her request…"
Vincent was stunned as soon as he heard this.
Communicating with the Magic God through the altar? Furthermore, they can make a request to this mighty being as long as they have the right sacrifice! It is inconceivable for Vincent.
He couldn't help but look at Luna beside him but she was also bewildered by this situation. However, Vincent subtly noticed that she was worried about something.
He wasn't too sure but this is how he interpret the aura surrounding her right now…
'Does she know something?' Vincent mused…
Whom~
A wave of energy came from the altar catching everyone's attention… The glass jar that Ciara was holding broke into many pieces as the contents seem to have been absorbed by the gray altar.
As for the immortal stone, its shiny colors disappeared. It now looks like a dull stone that can be found on every side of the road.
It was at this point that the alchemists of the Black Tower stood up and congratulated Ciara…
"Congratulations, Ciara…"
"I'm sure that the Dorrian Family will have another great talent that will attend the Tower Academy…"
"Everything is going to be fine from now on."
"Right, you no longer have to be afraid of your sister."
"Your voice is amazing! Congratulations on having it back!"
Vincent had no idea what they were spouting. Nevertheless, he can conclude that Ciara didn't just come here to have some fun. There is definitely a reason why she was doing this. It may be for herself, for her family, or for whatever reason he wasn't interested in.
What he wanted to know is whether the ritual is effective or not.
Then, he noticed that her previous haggard or distressed face has completely changed. She's now brimming with confidence as she faced the crowd.
"Thank you all… I hope everyone here will also become a follower of the Magic God." Ciara said as she looked at the other participants of this event and handed over the dull Immortal Stone to the project leader.
The others seem to be shocked after hearing her voice but Vincent didn't find anything wrong with it.
Her voice was definitely attractive and his magic tool even reacted slightly. Her voice contains a little bit of charm magic but it wasn't too alarming.
'Hmm?' After analyzing this for a moment, Vincent suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
Especially after she hinted that she had become a follower of the Magic God!
He immediately turned to the Tier 3 Alchemist beside him.
"Nina, what just happened?" Vincent asked.
"Ah? Didn't you hear her speak? She was previously a mute… Although she wasn't a mute since birth, she became like that after something happened with her and her sister. In any case, everything is fine now that she has the support of the Fifteenth Tower's Magic God." Nina said with excitement.

Vincent frowned but he didn't show it. He could only nod at this as he continued watching the event.
The next person came up and received a blessing related to his blood. His blood seem to have become poison but he wasn't really sure since he only briefly saw the blood he spat on the ground.
It continued for a while and each person needed about five to twenty minutes to complete their connection with the altar. Vincent guessed that the length depends on the request they'd made to the Magic God.
The eighth person finally came and it will be Vincent's turn next.
"What do you think, Luna?" Vincent asked.
"You'll be fine. If the Magic God is not the same as the one who had given you the blessing, then you'll probably be rejected. I'm sure they don't want to mess with their colleague's blessed one, right?"
"Colleague?" Vincent smiled after hearing this. He's not sure whether he can call the relationship of the gods and goddesses colleagues but anyway, Luna has a point.
He was reminded that he has indeed taken the attention of a different goddess.
However, if the magic god and the blond goddess were hostile to each other, he might be in trouble…
Well, he might be overthinking this...
After 10 more minutes, it was finally his turn. He was called to the stage by the Project Leader.
"Vincent, we have made a lot of preparations, you can request any sort of blessing or modification to your body… We have all the needed items for any kind of request, so just let me know what you'll ask the Magic God."
Vincent took a deep breath.
He no longer has to think as he already knows what he wanted. Well, everyone is probably aware of it already.
"My eyes…"
