099, Restart Summoning (no protagonist)

While Talos is puzzled by the hidden information in the four magic schools of the Thumb Realm, Ivan, the chief mage of Sidon City, is trying to summon spirits.

"Have you really decided, Lord Ivan, will it be too risky?"

Before the official start, some mages couldn't help but ask again, in fact, they had already discussed this question half an hour ago.

This can't be blamed on the mages for hesitating and not having the guts, they really can't forget that bloody history.

Summoning spirits from the spirit world to fight is what the spirit school is best at, and the curse incident has rewritten all this, for a long time in the past, summoning spirits is equivalent to suicide, and this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over time, and now summoning spirits has basically become the patent of mages with a career level of 15 or above, and the only means used by ordinary mages to fight enemies is elemental magic, or a weakened version.

Moreover, Ivan is the chief mage of Sidon City, the only mage with a class level of 15, and in case of an accident, the price is too heavy for them to afford.

"I know that summoning spirits from the spirit realm has become very difficult and dangerous because of the witch's curse, but I must say that as a mage of the Oracle School, it is undoubtedly very sad to not be able to summon spirits, even though they have been depressed for almost a hundred years because of this mage. ”

"For us, not only the mages standing here, but also the civilians who have no ability to cast spells, and the survival and continuation of the human community, today's summoning has extraordinary significance. Ladies and gentlemen, I am a level 15 mage with previous experience summoning low-level spirits, and I am the most qualified candidate to try summoning in Sidon City. ”

"What's more, the god of magic has already subdued a batch of dream-eating butterflies for us in the spirit world, this is an opportunity to change the fate and future of the thumb villain, you should trust me like a new magician, and trust the great magic master like you trust me. I have a hunch that today will be a day that will change history. ”

"Good luck to me. ”

After a brief speech to soothe the nervous mage, Ivan closed his eyes and unhesitatingly applied the spell that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

In a trance, a special pattern came to Ivan's mind, which was a concentric circle composed of five circles, representing the spirit world, each circle corresponding to five professional levels.

Without the witch's curse, Ivan's spirit would have been able to rush straight into the third circle, summoning spirits between levels 11 and 15, but now, he entered the first circle.

With his mental power at this time, he can only summon low-level spirits, otherwise he will end up being devoured by the summoned spirits just like the previous mages.

The image of the mage's spirit after rushing into the spirit world is like a flaming torch, exuding special fluctuations and luster to attract spirit creatures.

In the past, spirits would decide whether or not to go based on the brightness and size of the torch, but experienced mages would also go directly to specific areas to make agreements with specific spirits.

Ivan didn't care about the spirits that were being attracted, his mind was like light moving through the spirit realm, and he had to make a summoning agreement with a dream-eating butterfly before the spell expired.

If the mage of the Spiritual Oracle School fails to complete the pre-requisites of "spirit entering the spirit realm, finding a suitable spirit, and reaching a summoning agreement" in time, it means that the summoning has failed, and the magic and spirit invested in it have been wasted.

Ivan's luck was good, and according to the description of the god of magic, Talos, he soon found the place where the Dream Eaters lived, an island suspended in the void.

Unlike other islands, which are desolate and deserted, this island is home to a large expanse of giant flowers with huge flower disks, swaying with a rich magical energy, and hundreds of dream-eating butterflies fluttering in the flowers.

Ivan didn't know how to describe his surprise at this moment, the spirit world is a place where spirit and magic meet, except for those islands that have existed since ancient times and are suspended in the infinite void, there are very few entities, let alone plants.

The next thing that caught Ivan's eyes was a dream-eating butterfly that was a few points larger than an eagle, shrouded in black and purple magical aura, if he guessed correctly, it was a will of the god of magic, Talos, who descended from the main material plane to the spirit world.

When Ivan was thinking about whether to give up this summoning and communicate with the mentor first, a thought was transmitted: "If you have any questions, you can communicate in the dream and continue to summon." ”

After receiving guidance, Ivan no longer hesitated, and chose a dream-eating butterfly and landed.

In less than a second, a tiny pillar of light rushed up on the island, enveloping Ivan's spirit and a dream-eating butterfly in the middle.

This is the summoning ritual of the mages of the Spiritual Oracle School in the spirit world, part of Ivan's spirit is divided into two parts, one part of the spirit is transformed into pure spiritual power after removing self-consciousness and delivered to the Dream Eater Butterfly as a reward, and one part retains the consciousness to leave a magical mark on the island, and then returns to the material plane with the Dream Eater.

The magic mark left behind will become the coordinates of the spirit world, and if Ivan wants to summon the dream eater butterfly again in the future, he does not need to repeat the process of searching, and the place where the spirit enters the spirit world is this island, which can save a lot of time and energy and improve the summoning efficiency.

On the material plane, the mages stared at Ivan without blinking, waiting for them, the past fifteen seconds were longer and more difficult for them than any other day.

Finally, in the eighteenth second of time, a tiny pillar of light emerged from the void, and a dream-eating butterfly flew out of it.

"It's successful, it's really a dream eater!"

Some mages couldn't suppress the excitement and joy in their hearts, and cheered.

"Silence, it's not over yet!"

The young mage reacted, a little sneering, and hurriedly raised his wand, ready to fight at any time.

For the thumb villains at this stage, although the mental power is less than 1/40 of the previous normal humans, they can still summon some low-level spirits from the spirit world, and the success rate is not low, the key to the problem is whether they can successfully control the spirits, avoid themselves being counterattacked, and being devoured and killed by the spirits summoned by their own hands.

Now, Ivan completes the first two of the three steps of summoning - the spirit travels to the spirit realm to find a suitable spirit and complete the summoning ritual - followed by the most dangerous third step, harnessing the Dream Eater on the material plane and completing the various orders given by the temporary master.

Ivan opened his eyes and saw a group of mages who were like great enemies, waved his hand and said in relief: "Don't worry, it's already successful." ”

As the god of magic in the dream said, these dream-eating butterflies are not at all resistant to the call from him, and even have some initiative, and remain on standby after coming to the material plane.

For Ivan, the mages were full of trust, and then looked at the Dream Eater Butterfly, sure enough, there was no sign of attacking the summoner, just flying in the square, and all the nervousness just now turned into joy.

"It really worked, Lord Ivan!"

Now is really a time for cheers, in the past, Ivan was the only one in Sidon City who was qualified to summon low-level spirits, but it was still full of uncertainty and potential danger.

Now, after receiving the guidance of the God of Magic, all mages in Sidon City who have reached class level 10 can summon Dream Eaters as a helper.

This is a good thing, which means that the mage's combat power has been improved, and the safety factor of Sidon City has increased.

After a burst of cheers, a young mage excitedly recited the contents from the Illustrated Book of Spiritual Oracles: "Dream Eater Butterfly, Level 3 Spirit Body, Spirit Realm, Psionic Energy, Illusion Dual Series, Butterfly Clan, Dream Eating Butterfly Subrace, Two Racial Abilities, Spiritual Impact and Illusion Confusion." ”

The spiritual realm, the elemental realm, is the most fundamental division of the spirit body after a lot of research by the mages of the Spirit Oracle, which determines the essence of the spirit body, whether it is a spirit body or an elemental body.

"System" is the attribute classification after the "realm", the elemental world has the light system, the dark system, the earth system, the water system, the air system, the fire system, the champion creatures of each system are the six sacred birds, the spiritual world has the spirit energy system, the ghost system, the spirit soul system, the illusion system, etc., among which the arcane condor is the champion creature of the spirit system.

"Your Excellency Ivan, can you tell us about the spirit world?"

Most of these mages are a generation that has never entered the spirit world, so they are particularly curious about the spirit world after witnessing the reactivation of spirit summoning.

"Why don't you go and see for yourself?" Ivan lifted the summoning ritual, and the Dream Eater turned into a magical aura and returned to the Spirit Realm, "I hope that every mage with a class level of 10 or higher can overcome their fears and difficulties, enter the Spirit Realm, and find the island where Dream Eater Butterfly lives." ”

"It was very recognizable, and the island was home to a vast expanse of magnificent and exotic flowers, and a dream-eating butterfly larger than an eagle, incarnated by the will of the Great Mentor who had descended into this plane. ”

With Ivan's example of success, other mages also began to try, full of hope and confidence, some failed because they couldn't find the Dream Eater within the spell's effective time, and some succeeded and successfully summoned one Dream Eater Butterfly after another.

After a few minutes, the mages looked at each other, whether they succeeded or failed just now, they all had a happy smile on their faces at this moment, and the gloom in their hearts was swept away, only Ivan gradually frowned.

"Lord Ivan, is there any problem?" Damien was the first to notice Ivan's anomaly.

The mages all looked at Ivan, not knowing what was wrong.

"No, everything went well, in fact I've never been happier than I was today. Ivan shook his head in the negative, "I'm just thinking about when to notify the other cities." ”

Without thinking, a mage replied, "Of course, the sooner the better." ”

He couldn't wait to share the good news with the mages in the other cities, if every mage above level 10 could summon a Dream Eater, their situation would definitely be ten times better than now, at least not to worry about it.

Thinking of this, the mage just now suddenly stopped smiling, and he seemed to have noticed the problem.

"Yes, the number of Dream Eaters waiting to be summoned in the Spirit Realm is only two hundred, which is far from enough to meet the needs of the entire Thumb Realm. ”

The mages looked at each other, and this was indeed a problem.

"Or ...... Can we ask the mentor for help? Yes, the mentor will definitely help us. ”
