Chapter 147: Spell Test
"Stand upright!"
"Sit down!"
"Shake hands!"
At about nine o'clock in the evening, Xia Ran was in his living room on the second floor, constantly issuing such orders, as if he was training a dog.
In front of him, there was a faint pearly white glow with hair all over his body, which seemed to give people a very unreal feeling, like a delicate hologram of a "big dog", or a ghost wolf.
Because it is really very large, almost two meters long, the strong body and strong limbs, all seem to contain explosive muscular power, if it is not really unreal from the outside, probably no one will doubt its ferocity......
But at this moment, it is obeying the orders of its master, constantly making various movements.
- For example, spinning in circles on the spot, chasing your tail to bite.
— or raising your paws as if you were in agreement.
Lifelike, if you don't look at its glowing pearly white fur and completely unscientific ghostly appearance, it looks like a real animal...... But in fact, this is not the case, this is the effect of the spell "Summoning the Pet".
Can summon a ghost wolf...... In fact, there is not only one horse, if the mage who uses this spell is strong enough and has unlimited mana, then it is also possible to summon an overwhelming pack of wolves.
However, Xia Ran didn't count on it, the real world he was in didn't seem to have the existence of mysterious powers, such as the magic power in the atmosphere, aura and other concepts, or it wasn't non-existent, but it was very thin.
Therefore, any spell can only rely entirely on his own blue bar, just like this ghost wolf, which was directly summoned by extracting more than a quarter of his spiritual power.
After reading the basic theory of summoning, Xia Ran actually understood very well that theoretically speaking, the things summoned by summoning, whether it was a weapon or an otherworldly creature, were just a projection.
They all have an archetype, which may exist in the current physical world or in other spatial planes...... However, it is also normal, if it were not for projection, it would be impossible for the summoning spell to drive other creatures to work for the summoner.
Because you summoned me, I'm going to fight for you? You're so powerful, why don't you go to heaven? It is the instinct of all creatures to seek advantage and avoid harm, and if this were the case, the summoning spell would hardly be valid, and they would never respond to it.
Let's say a person posts a job advertisement on the Internet, but instead of looking for an employee, he goes to a slave and asks someone to unilaterally sign a deed of sale for him, and he doesn't have to pay anything...... Or rather, all he did was spend a little time writing a job ad like this, and then spending a little traffic to get it online.
If this is the case, and there are still many people who can respond to it, and countless people go forward to fight for the honor of becoming slaves, putting their lives and freedom on the line, then there is really a ghost.
Perhaps a truly ruthless person can forcibly summon and enslave otherworldly beings, and whether the latter wants it or not, he has to die for it.
But this kind of ruthless person is a very small number of existences after all, and there is no reference value, and the summoning system can become a mainstream spell faction, of course, it must cater to the standards and requirements of more popular spellcasters.
So, if the summoning spell summons a projection, then there is a possibility that it will be established, because even if it is destroyed, it will not really threaten the existence of the prototype...... However, if the projection to be summoned is advanced, then the prototype itself will be aware of it and will have the ability to intervene.
This explains why there is a possibility of failure in the high-level summoning technique, and there is even more risk of backlash - at that level, it can be said that it is no longer based on the trace summoning projection, but more like going to negotiate conditions and business with dangerous and powerful high-ranking existences.
However, Xia Ran just used such a low-level basic summoning spell as "summoning demon pets", and he had an accident directly.
There are basically no mysterious powers in the real world, at least he has not seen them yet, and there are no other spatial planes, or traces of other magical creatures......
Although he can still use summoning magic due to the "compatibility patch" of White Space, it has changed in a different form.
"The more you look at it, the more it looks like a two-ha...... What about the ghost wolf? ”
Xia Ran squatted down and touched the head of the demon pet's dog, the latter immediately squinted his eyes, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, made a great sound, and pushed his head against his palm, as if to express his intimacy.
However, he knew very well that this thing actually had no autonomous consciousness, let alone intelligence, and even instinct did not exist.
Purely because of its existence itself, it was completely composed of the semi-materialization of his spiritual power, and it had a direct spiritual network connection with the mind of him, the caster, which greatly strengthened the subtle and mysterious connection of the technique itself.
It was a very strange feeling, but because of Xiao Zuo, Xia Ran was not completely inexperienced.
His mental power has been strengthened to this extent, and he no longer needs to use words to communicate with his left hand...... And now the demon pet is even further, as if it is an extension of his body limbs in the outside world.
For example, the closeness it showed just now was like a dog, which was completely caused by Xia Ran's subconscious impression. He used to have a few dogs in his old home, and he still has some impressions of those dogs.
It was precisely because he felt that the dog would react like this when he was touched on the head, so the ghost wolf demon pet would immediately make a relative performance, after all, it was completely a spirit-like body composed of Xia Ran's spiritual power, and it was directly manipulated by Xia Ran's mind.
Well, it is said that it is a ghost wolf, and it is also because of Xia Ran's inherent impression of the game, so the appearance of the demon pet summoned by him.
However, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, he always felt that the more he looked at this ghost wolf, the more like a husky...... It's an illusion, it should be an illusion, such a majestic, strong and powerful beast, it's a wolf instead of Erha!
- No refutations accepted!
"I just don't know how the actual combat ability is, do you want to go out and test it...... But this thing is so big and so conspicuous, how to take it out is also a problem......" Xia Ran pinched his chin and frowned.
The body length of this thing is nearly two meters, and the person is even taller than an adult when he stands up, and his whole body is blooming with a pearl-white light, and there is a faint sense of transparency.
For the concept of ghosts, it is indeed very standard, and I can't fault it.
However, for humans, this product is too conspicuous, and it may be able to hide it in the sun during the day, just like the mobile phone screen usually looks very clear, but it is almost invisible when walking in the sun......
But it's night, and it's like a light bulb, and it's hard not to attract attention.
And Xia Ran has just tried it, and the mobile phone can shoot it directly, and there is nothing that cannot be detected by scientific and technological instruments for the time being.
"Huh?"
Squinting slightly, he stared at the dog in front of him...... Ah, no, it was staring at the ghost wolf in front of him, and he found that the other party was sitting in front of him with a stupid face, sticking out his tongue as if he was flattering, but his body was becoming dim.
At the beginning, he thought that he had been trapped, and although the demon pet he summoned not only lasted sixty seconds, it did not have much more time than sixty seconds.
It's only been ten minutes, and it's going to disappear? Lying in a slot, isn't this cost-effective a little too low, summoning it once in the real world, but it will consume a large section of the blue bar!
The pet completely dimmed before his eyes, the pearly white ghostly light completely disappeared, and the outline of the shape almost completely disappeared, as if a snowman had quickly melted before his eyes.
Xia Ran subconsciously reached out and touched it, but he still felt the existence of the dog's head in the air, there was no temperature, but the simulated fur texture was very soft and felt very good......
He squinted his eyes and looked closely, only to make sure that the dog had not disappeared, but had become completely transparent.
When the pearly white ghostly light on its body completely disappeared, all that was left was the transparent physique of the ghost wolf, which was not completely transparent, but still a rough outline could be seen, and when it moved, the air it was in would also appear blurred.
It's just too vague.,Only by staring carefully from the beginning.,It's easier to notice.,If you don't have such awareness.,Then it's no different from stealth.。
Speaking of stealth, Xia Ran has been pondering recently, the principle of stealth has been mentioned in books, but in the illusion system, stealth is actually psychological stealth, the principle is not to use magic to distort light, but to make the people around you who are affected not realize that they have seen a person at all.
The same principle as the light sound technique, it is more complicated and obscure, Xia Ran can't figure it out, and plans to go directly to the spell scroll to strengthen it later, so he doesn't need to embarrass himself.
In contrast, this trait of the Ghost Wolf is closer to the effect of normal stealth magic.
"Seems like it's perfectly fine...... Well, go test it now. ”
Xia Ran rubbed the dog's head, then let the almost invisible ghost wolf follow behind him, and went out directly.
The city outside is at night, but there is no tendency to fall asleep at all, but it seems to become more energetic than during the day.
However, where there is light, darkness will also breed darkness and give birth to evil...... Just behind this brilliance, in an unknown corner.
Xia Ran was not worried that he would not be able to find a tester who was eager to help others, so he could help himself test the abilities of his magic pet. However, he did not let his guard down, but opened the exchange list of the white space and bought some gadgets.
It's a less valuable one-time prop, but it's very effective, and can interfere with the work of surrounding electronics, affecting cameras and mobile phones, etc.
The test is very necessary, because the next thing to enter is a high-level magical mission plane, Xia Ran has to master at least a few basic values of new spell skills, and roughly determine their significance in actual combat.
Not only the spell "Summoning Pet", but also the specific effects of spell skills that summon weapons, such as "Resurrection Zombie", "Sword of Restraint" and "Bow of Restraint......
- and perhaps even "soul imprisonment", a spell that can truly be said to be evil.
