Of course, he couldn’t do it now.
After all, his ability to enter this place this time was entirely because he had just awakened his magic during the day, which had allowed him to establish a connection with the altar space.
Then, after he fell asleep that night, he had unconsciously been pulled into this place by the altar.
It was easy to imagine that, apart from the extremely comfortable pajamas he was wearing, what else could he possibly have on him right now?
Even if he wanted to perform a sacrifice, he needed to make some preparations first.
He didn’t believe that, with his luck, sacrificing something insignificant like one of his hairs would somehow allow him to obtain anything good.
With a thought from Ternas, he reappeared on his soft and comfortable bed.
Looking at his surroundings, Ternas fiercely pinched himself.
Only after feeling the sharp pain did he realize that this wasn’t an illusion.
It was real.
With that realization, Ternas immediately climbed out of bed.
His room was enormous, measuring more than a hundred square meters.
In his previous life, that would already have been the size of an entire house.
But now, it was merely his bedroom.
There were many things in the room.
Two bookshelves stood there, filled with the books he had used for his early education over the years, as well as some storybooks from the magical world.
Besides those, there were also some of his own collections.
On the other side, there was a cabinet with a rack on top of it.
Resting on the rack was a broomstick, which was none other than the flying tool of the Harry Potter world: a flying broomstick.
Inside the cabinet beneath the broomstick were some of Ternas’s small collections from over the years.
They were little trinkets he had bought with his pocket money.
Of course, there were also some small toys his parents and grandmother had bought for him.
Besides these, there was a huge wardrobe containing his clothes.
There were many other things as well, all of them his personal belongings.
After picking through his collection, Ternas finally found several items that he considered to have some value.
With a thought, the things he had selected disappeared from his hands.
Looking at what had just happened, Ternas once again confirmed the reality of his cheat ability.
After getting everything ready, Ternas climbed back onto his bed.
He calmed himself down for a moment before lying down.
With a single thought, he opened his eyes again and found himself already inside the altar space.
At the foot of the altar were several items.
They were precisely the things he had selected earlier for the sacrifice.
These were all Ternas’s personal collections.
They weren’t particularly noticeable, so even if they suddenly disappeared, it wouldn’t attract anyone else’s attention.
At the same time, these things did possess a certain amount of value, so perhaps they could bring him some decent returns.
Among them was a wand.
Of course, it was not a magical weapon on the level of the weapons used in this world.
It was merely a toy wand capable of independently casting several simple magical tricks.
Although it might look quite miraculous, its actual value was not very high.
Its selling price was only two Silver Sickles.
Ternas placed the magical item in his hand onto the altar.
He took this first sacrifice very seriously.
Ternas slowly stepped back from the altar, then issued the command to begin the sacrifice.
This entire space existed to serve the altar.
As the master of the altar, Ternas could, in a sense, use it to accomplish many things within this space.
Of course, that was limited to what fell within the altar’s functions.
And sacrifice was the altar’s most important function.
Ternas didn’t need to do anything at all.
Merely issuing a command was enough to activate the altar.
At first, only the mysterious inscriptions around the edge of the altar began lighting up one by one.
The process was somewhat slow.
It took a full three minutes before every inscription on the altar was finally illuminated.
Once the altar had been completely lit up, the wand placed upon it slowly floated into the air.
Then, directly beneath the wand, a passage resembling a black hole suddenly appeared.
There was no other color within this passage.
Just like the area beyond this space, it was completely enveloped in darkness.
By the time Ternas could see again, all the strange phenomena had completely disappeared.
Only one thing remained, quietly floating above the altar in the exact position where the wand had previously been suspended.
Ternas excitedly hurried forward.
It was a very strange card.
On the back of the card was an extremely mysterious black-hole pattern, interspersed with specks of golden light.
Other than that, there were no additional designs.
On the front of the card was the image of a hand.
The hand seemed to possess a kind of magic of its own.
Ternas only needed to look at it once to feel that it must belong to someone with extraordinarily nimble hands.
The fingers were slender and long, white and flawless, looking almost boneless.
It resembled the hand of a woman.
Ternas was somewhat curious and reached out to pick up the card.
The moment his hand touched it, a stream of information entered his mind.
This was another miraculous effect of the altar.
Every item obtained through sacrifice would allow Ternas to directly understand what it was, what it could do, and what properties it possessed.
The card in his hand was not a physical object in the traditional sense.
Instead, it was more like a skill book or skill scroll from an online game.
It was an ability from a certain world, belonging to a very famous magician: Sleight of Hand.
After using this card, Ternas would possess hands as nimble and dexterous as those of that magician.
Clearly, this already counted as an extremely successful sacrifice.
He had obtained an ability like this simply by sacrificing a magical trinket that was practically useless and could only be used as a toy.
There was no doubt that Ternas had made a huge profit.
Perhaps in the world where that magician lived, his wand might have been extremely valuable.
But in this magical world, exchanging such a toy for a magician’s Sleight of Hand was an absolute bargain.
