Chapter 99: Contract Summoning
"Boom!"
Another loud noise came from overhead into the halls of the ground, swirling around the empty blast furnace like thunder through the clouds before a storm.
Although the loud noise had become faint with the passage of time, and it was impossible to tell what caused the tremors, the sound could still reach this side from such a long distance, coupled with the heavy bluestone foundation, and you can imagine the intensity of the place where the roar occurred.
Moreover, this time the voice was more intense than the previous ones, and Richard subconsciously raised his head.
“...... What's going on? ”
He shook his head and decided not to pay any attention.
It's not that Richard doesn't care, but he feels that no matter what happens above, what he has to do next is the most important thing-
"It's the last step."
Around the huge blast furnace in front of him, fiery red lines appeared like flowing lava, showing a burning state, and the roads were intertwined with each other: that is, the energy pipes that were exposed after the first layer of seals were lifted, and if they didn't find a way to leak the heat contained in them, the energy of the eruption would cause unimaginable disasters.
And now, under the control of the demon god, they have once again built a temporary circuit, and the bright red pipes start from the blast furnace and spread towards the outside of the furnace and even the upper space.
Now, the towering walls of the originally wide hall were no longer visible, because there were a large number of scarlet marks clinging to them like cobwebs, thick and thin, and at the same time they seemed to have life, like huge living blood vessels.
They extracted the energy from the blast furnace and transmitted it upwards, through the "patio" that ran through the seven-story magic tower, all the way to the depths of the Great Temple, where the Rasputin was stationed.
According to their real names, these pipes were laid inside the tower from the beginning, but they never worked. She can't interfere with the physical world, but she can tamper with instructions to get long-dormant systems back to work: in other words, that's what [Spark Furnace] does. If there is no part of the pipeline system hidden in the tower wall, no matter how powerful the ability is in the online world, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
In Richard's perception, the magic array that had been used to try "psychic creation" began to flicker again in the lines flowing with mysterious mercury, and began to operate in an orderly manner; This time, the light that bloomed on the magic array was a hundred times brighter than last time.
Miss Real Name is not with her right now, as she needs to preside over the summoning ceremony. Richard's brain can't handle the burden of using legendary magic, and the AI with its massive computing power doesn't have to worry.
He could feel the "prototype" of the "Enchanted Lord Contract" running within Raspuchin's system, indicating that the summoning ritual was steadily underway. It only took a few more minutes for him to grasp the top-level power known in this world as the "Legendary Rank";
However, on the other hand, if someone notices and destroys it in the middle of the way, not only will he not have the ability to resist now, but the secrets on his body will also be exposed, and he wants to have such a chance next time...... No, it's better if you're just sneaking around in the core furnace area and you're discovered, but if your real name's actions are noticed, you might not even be able to save your own life.
The more time like this, the closer it is to success, the harder it is for Richard to calm down.
What if someone bumps into me? Will anyone, especially the leader of the Tower, notice what's going on here?
Before he knew it, his head and palms were already full of sweat.
It is only a matter of time before such a big movement is discovered, and exposure is inevitable. Unlike the current sealed ladder system, the energy flowing from the first layer of the [Starfire Furnace] follows the transmission pipeline from the first layer to the top layer, leaving traces in it.
…… Of course, if you can successfully summon the Spell Lord in the end, all the mistakes and mistakes can be remedied, Richard thought, not to mention that wizards are an extremely cautious and cautious group, and the longer they live, the higher they climb, and the older they get, the more obvious they tend to behave in this regard.
Even if they could detect the anomaly in the short few minutes, they might not choose to do it-
Richard was well aware of the fragility of this idea of pinning his hopes on others. But all he can do now is this self-comfort.
As the minutes ticked by, Richard was pacing anxiously in place, when a familiar voice sounded in his ears:
"Sir."
Hearing the girl's calm and soft voice, Richard was about to raise his throat and eyes, and finally fell back to his place.
He closed his eyes, and with the help of the constant spell set by Rasputin, Richard could clearly see the scene near the Iron Throne:
The fiery red veins covered the entire dome, and the pipes that drew energy from the depths of the core were all connected to the magic array on the ground, maintaining its maximum efficiency.
The light on the magic array was like the sun falling to the ground, dazzling to the point that people couldn't open it at all, and at the same time, they could vaguely perceive that there were waves of unstable fluctuations coming from the surrounding space.
The color of the mysterious mercury flowing in the depression has a tendency to turn from shiny to dull. This is a sign that the material is about to burn out after being overloaded. It shows that under this level of energy input, the magic array can't support it for too long.
...... It doesn't matter, and it won't take long.
He calmed down his excitement for a moment, took a deep breath, and raised his hand.
Only Richard could see that a ball of light surrounded by countless points of light, like a mysterious symbol like a planet surrounding the sun, appeared in the palm of his hand.
It is somewhat similar to ordinary "magic keys", in that they are both carriers of information, but the amount of data contained in them is very different.
This is the contract of this world.
And according to the real name, it is essentially an "agreement".
One of the most confidential contracts is called the "real name contract" - that is, the oath - and the real name is called the "underlying agreement", which is the foundation of the entire network world and the foundation of unity with the information world.
At this time, the contract summoned by Richard was not an oath, but a contract made by wizards in the psychic realm for the purpose of envoying spirits, so it was also called a "psychic contract".
The higher the level of the contract, the complexity will increase exponentially. A top-level psychic contract like the one that appeared in Richard's hands would have been absolutely impossible to make with his current abilities.
But this was actually a contract that once belonged to Raspuchin, so he could mobilize it at will, but because of the lack of magic power, he couldn't officially activate this contract and summon the spirits.
As the psychic contract unfolded, a large number of words appeared in front of him, forming a long dossier, at least several meters long if it was really written on paper.
The dossier, glowing with shallow light, unfolded like a scroll, enveloping Richard standing in the center.
The magic is there, the contract is there, and the rest is the last process-
He stared at the spaces beneath the scroll's words.
“...... It always feels a little immediate. ”
It's like the various agreements that pop up when you sign up for membership on the site.,It's so long that most people tick all of them without even looking at them.。
【Contract Execution......
A male voice that he had never heard before rang in his ears, and Richard was startled. But he soon realized that Rasputin's knowledge mentioned that it was the voice of Mitro, the [God of Contracts and Seals], and that all contracts in the world needed to be signed and executed under His watchful eye.
This seems to be the first time he has met a "god" since coming to the Mayan world. Richard felt even more nervous, as if he could feel a majestic gaze from thousands of miles away, silently falling on him......
The mellow and serious male voice sounded again.
[Confirm: The one who is in the aftermath is the owner of the contract?] 】
"Recognition."
[Confirm: Those who are out of sight are servants of the contract?] 】
"Recognition."
[Confirm: The contract has not been modified, has not been exchanged, has not been lost?] 】
"Recognition."
...
Richard's mood was a mixture of nervousness and worry, but on the surface there was no trace of it. After he approved them one by one according to Rasputin's knowledge, the contract suddenly bloomed in mid-air, and then flew into his body and disappeared, and with it, the feeling of being "watched" disappeared.
At the same time, he could "see" the magic circle a kilometer away from him, the light stored in the center swelled to the extreme, and then the next moment, like an incandescent light bulb that had been pressed on a switch, suddenly went out.
Richard sighed. It seemed that it was completely unusable, but unfortunately it was built by almost removing all the materials from the Rasputin storehouse.
Although there are some regrets, at this time, a greater proportion of his mood is obviously excitement and anticipation:
After the contract ended, the Enchanted Spirit Lord emerged from the surface—
The first to climb out of the ground was an arm, the blue-blue fingers as thick as tree roots, followed by a wrist like a beam.
The colossal spirit that had been seen shortly before Rasputchin's death appeared before Richard again.
This time, he could see the other party's appearance more clearly.
The djinn's upper body is full of exotic clothing, strong muscles, ghostly blue skin, gold collars on his hands and in the morning, and the lower half of his body is a ghostly ethereal shadow, and the top is a blurred outline of a human face......
All this reminds him of the "god of lights" in Arabic mythology.
