Act I: Call of the Heroic Spirit

The moment Rosen passed through that ray of light, he immediately activated his perception and grasped everything around him in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The ruined laboratory, the summoning circle, the long-broken magic link, and the pale boy in front of him.

He had already raised his level of use of magic to a new level in the previous battle, and at this time, Lawson directly probed the magic power into the opponent's brain, and grasped the situation in just a few breaths.

It seems that this young man is using a special summoning technique, which is not based on the summoner's own mana supply, but relies more on some kind of magic power from an unknown source, and the summoned is not a permanent complete summoning, but a certain time limit, and at the same time as summoning, the summoned object will be forced to sign a contract with the summoner, which is limited to some extent.

However, this is completely meaningless to Rosen, to be honest, the young man in front of him actually did not succeed in summoning at all, although he succeeded in opening the door, but nothing responded to his call, it can be said that it was a complete failure.

As for Rosen's arrival, it is very likely that it was just a mistake.

He must have triggered a teleportation spell on the relic, and it was doubtful if this place was the destination, but Rosen thought it was possible that the Summoning Door opened by chance brought him here.

Time to think was fleeting, and when Rosen saw the lost expression on the young man's face, he secretly left a trace of magic on the other party's body to imitate the connection between the summoner and the summoned object, and then spoke.

"Alphonse, the Heroic Spirit, have followed the call, I ask you, are you my master?"

Alphonse is the name that Rosen came up with nonsense, and he didn't go too deep into the other party's memory, so as not to accidentally blow up the young man's head directly, so he only got what the other party was thinking about the summoning ceremony now, and for the sake of safety, he still chose to remain incognito and keep a low profile.

This young man's strength is no more than black iron, and for Lawson, who already has the strength of the bronze midstream, it is not too simple to fake some perceptions.

However, the young man was not too surprised to see the skeleton, but it made Rosen have some guesses.

“......”

When the young man heard Rosen's words, he was speechless, looked at Rosen again, and then nodded slowly, and then asked with a little hesitation.

"You...... Can you talk?"

Worst.

Rosen thought that since he had never encountered the same skeleton as him before, and the undead knight was a high-level living corpse, Rosen subconsciously spoke, but it made him a little different from the skeletons in this world.

"Talking skeletons...... It's never written in the books. ”

The boy whispered, his eyes full of doubt.

"Won't I stand in front of you right now? ”

Seeing that the situation was not right, Lawson pretended to be as he should have been, and replied in a deep voice.

"Do you have any doubts about my identity?"

"Uh......"

Being asked by Rosen like this, the young man was a little shaken, he secretly sensed some magic, and found that he did have a special connection with the other party, so he confirmed that the skeleton in front of him was indeed his summon.

"Don't dare, Lord Immortal...... It's just that I've never heard of a hero named Alphonse in history, so I'm a little ...... for a while."

"I was originally an unknown swordsman, Alphonse was just a pronoun, and his real name has long been scattered in the long river of history. ”

Serious nonsense, Rosen saw that the look of doubt on the young man's face gradually faded.

"However, your summoning is not complete, so most of my consciousness is broken, can you tell me about you and the ritual?"

"Uh, okay, I see. ”

When the boy heard Rosen say that the summoning was incomplete, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, but then he patiently explained these things to Rosen.

The young man, named Langton Ludwig, was the second son in the family, and the ceremony was part of a ceremony jointly organized by the families called the War of the Crown.

Every ten years, some of the younger sons of these families will be favored and can summon the Heroic Spirits from the long history as their subordinates, and they will fight each other until the Heroic Spirits they summon are defeated, and the final winner will be richly rewarded.

When Rosen was still wondering in his heart whether the founder of the so-called "crown war" was also a predecessor who had traveled through the same world as him, he discovered another even more shocking fact.

That is what he is in now, in fact, it is no longer the original main material plane, but an extremely secret half-plane, and it is not humans and elves who dominate this half-plane, but the undead, that is, the Ash Clan!

In other words, he is now in the place where the spirits of the undead, who were expelled thousands of years ago, are now hiding.

The realm of the undead!

Langton's family is a line of necromancers, and although they are also humans, they have long been driven here along with the undead, and as one of the nobles of this kingdom, they have a lot of power.

The kingdom of Isrul, the kingdom of the dead, is made up of several forces.

The first is the necromancer and the dark wizard, these humans were ostracized by the side of Order due to their study of necromancy, and came here thousands of years ago along with other undead.

The second is the undead, or the ashes, which are made up of skeletons, living corpses, bloods, etc., which are the main composition of the Isrul population, but most of the undead are of low intelligence, and only a few are able to influence the political situation.

The third is some elemental creatures, which occupy a quarter of Isrul's territory, and the few who produce consciousness are also among the few who are at the apex of the kingdom's power.

They guarded a secret treasure together, and in order to keep the peace, these three forces decided to decide the use of the secret treasure in the form of a crown war, and Langton was one of the necromancers.

"What is the so-called secret treasure?"

Rosen was a little curious, after all, even if it was counted from the defeat of the Ash Clan, it would have been more than a thousand years now, what kind of secret treasure could be used for so long?

Is it another holy relic?

Thinking of his goal, Rosen couldn't help but feel a little intrigued.

And the boy, Langton's next words made Rosen's interest more and more inflated.

"It's actually a fortress inherited from ancient times, and there are many treasures in it, and what we're fighting for is actually the right to explore the fortress. ”

Langton took a deep breath and continued.

"The name of the fortress is the Fran Fortress. ”
