Chapter 145: I heard that you are going to summon me, so what is the price?
Jeffries, the city is famous for its magic carvings, and it was here that the first magic carvings were born. It is the birthplace of almost all magical carvings, and there are many famous magical carving artists living in it.
The so-called magic carving is a kind of thing similar to magic magic and magic array, and the carving artist carves them on props or buildings, so that they can exert various abilities, such as cooling, heating, movement, reinforcement, and even releasing magic.
As for the source of the magic of the magic carving, it is the kind of magic crystal that Mann and the others transport, which the magician stores in the magic crystal and inlays it in the glyph so that it can perform its function.
Generally speaking, a carved pattern only needs one to five magic crystals to support the operation, but there are also extra-large carvings, which are generally the city defense facilities of a city, usually requiring hundreds or even thousands of magic crystals to provide magical support, and also require the magician to maintain the charge for a long time.
Like this time, the man named Marcel bought an unlimited amount of magic crystals, most likely because he needed to provide magic for a large glyph.
But even so, the unlimited purchase will inevitably make people wonder what this large carved pattern is used for.
However, the advantage of the merchants' associations is that they are very strict-mouthed, and generally do not easily disclose the personal information of the purchaser to anyone other than the subordinate merchants, and they are very measured, and will never ask the purchaser more about the intention of the purchase.
Jeffries City.
The city is home to the most carved shops, with a few on almost every street, and there are traces of magic carvings everywhere in people's daily lives. A kettle that can heat up on its own, a horse-drawn carriage that can travel autonomously, and even machinery that can assist people in their work.
Of course, these are things that can only be used by the wealthy, and for ordinary people, their lives are no different from those of people everywhere. After all, not everyone can afford a dozen silver coins and a magic crystal, and a dozen silver coins are enough for an ordinary person's living expenses for a month.
In the street, a man in the crowd walked by with his head bowed, wearing an old brown coat and a wide top hat with a brim so large that it almost covered most of his cheeks. He looked like an old-school knight, old but still personable.
He walked with his head down, unhurriedly, until he came to a hidden corner. He looked around, as if to determine the position of something, and eventually, his gaze fell on a wall deep in the street, and a satisfied smile curled into the corners of his mouth.
He took a carving knife from his pocket and headed for the wall.
Some people may ask who he is and what he is going to do.
He has his own answer, his name is Marcell, and he wants to complete the greatest magical carving in the world.
And now, he's just one step away.
By the time Marcel left, a strange circular inscription had been left on the wall deep in the corner.
They are connected end to end, like a circle, but not like they are, they seem to be endless, like life, and seem to come to an abrupt end, like dead things.
This strange carving has been appearing in all corners of Jeffries City lately, and has been seen before. But almost no one cares, because this is the city where carvings originated, and there are so many quirky carveilers.
There are always carves who throw their failed works on the side of the road, so most people just think that this is probably another failed carving.
And this carving really can't see any content, and several famous carving artists have also said that they don't know what role this carving can play.
Of course they can't see it, because they only see part of it.
When they put together all these carvings in the corners of the city, they may find something, which is a summoning carving, used to summon a special kind of life.
At the same time, it comes at a cost.
And the price, is the city.
Marcel returned to his home, where he seemed to be wealthy and lived in a huge mansion, but surprisingly, the huge mansion seemed to be inhabited by him alone.
He pushed open the door and walked straight into his house, all the way to his bedroom. He spun a ring at the head of the bed, and a secret door appeared on the floor of the bedroom.
It seems that he does hide many secrets.
Marchel followed the secret door and came to an underground chamber. This secret room is so large that it is hard to imagine that there could be such a huge underground space under a huge mansion.
He snapped his fingers, and blue flames lit up one after another on the walls of the chamber, illuminating the interior of the chamber.
The Chamber of Secrets was surprisingly cluttered, with all sorts of props scattered on the floor, possibly useless.
A workbench is arranged on one side of the chamber with mountains of books and utensils.
And under all this, the most striking thing is that on the floor of the secret room, the walls are full of carvings, this is a huge carving, almost the entire secret room is stained, and there are dense inlays between the carvings, it seems that there are thousands, if not more.
Marcel opened his hands, took a deep breath, and walked over to the workbench, picking up a heavy book.
He obsessively opened the book and stroked the words on it as if he were caressing his lover.
On the page, there are words like this.
"From the very beginning of their birth, people are filthy, with a cycle of evil and sin, God has abandoned them, and they have not repented. And so in the midst of the crowd, evil began to converge, and it coalesced into a human form, and became a messenger, and her whole body was full of sin and muddy. But she's powerful enough to destroy the world. She hears the call of the wicked to come down and fulfill their desires and take away their sins. She is so evil that when she comes, endless sins will come and will be taken away······"
Marchel looked at the words, trembling as he held the book, burying his face between the pages and breathing deeply.
"Oh, what a beautiful description. ”
"Messenger of evil, I will surely summon you, take away the sins of this world, and fix this world. ”
"Me. He gasped heavily, "I will definitely accomplish the greatest thing in the world." ”
About thirty years ago, he happened to pick up this book, and after reading it, he was deeply attracted by the messenger in the book. In his view, the world is wrong, people are so sinful, and the messenger can take away these errors and sins, and she can save them.
He had spent thirty years trying to find the Stone of Evil that had summoned the Emissary, but to no avail.
So he thought of another way, and through the clues in the book, he used his achievements in carving to create this carving that was enough to cover the entire city.
He will use this city as a sacrifice to summon the messenger.
And now, he's on the verge of success!
"Hahaha, hahahahahaha······"
Marcell's almost maniacal laughter echoed through the chamber.
"Ahh
In the carriage, there was a sneeze for no apparent reason.
"Hey. Mann turned his head in surprise, "You had a cold at first?"
"Nope. Chu rubbed his nose and said puzzledly, "I don't catch a cold." ”
She didn't know why she was sneezing, but she just suddenly felt a chill in her back.
However, it shouldn't be a big deal.
