Chapter 497: Summoning Ritual
"Keep walking, don't look back. Get the word out and the war ......."
Payne didn't finish his last sentence when a vampire rushed up from behind and snapped his neck.
The remaining three resisted the desire to turn back, and ran towards a wide area with all their strength. It looks like a self-defeating practice. But it was the most likely escape route they had calculated.
It's six o'clock in the morning. In half an hour at most, the sun will rise. When the time comes, in an open environment, these vampires have nowhere to hide, and they will surely die.
In this case, they are able to regain a little initiative. If they chase to the death. Then, of course, in the end, they all died in battle. But those vampires can't get back to their lair before the sun comes out if they chase too far. Everyone is equivalent to dying together. On the other hand, if they give up the pursuit in order to save their lives, then they can escape with their lives. No loss in any case.
…………
Around midnight, Lin Xuan woke up Catelyn.
"What's going on, what's the situation?"
"Put on your clothes, and I'll take you to a deep insight into the inner world."
Caitlin followed Lin Xuan to the outside of the house in a daze. I saw Lin Xuan holding a small iron box in his hand and walked straight to the front of an intersection.
"Caitlin, because your vital interests are at stake in this matter. So, I have to talk to you in advance. I'm going to perform a magical ritual now, summoning a demon. And in your name. ”
"Summoning demons? Why? ”
"That yellow-eyed demon that day gave me a bad association. I need to find a demon to find out something. ”
"Looking for a demon to find out?"
"It's complicated, and you won't be able to understand it for a while. But you're not focusing on the right thing. The point of my discussion with you is that I must make a calling in your name. That's what you should be paying attention to. ”
"Well, why in my name? You're much stronger than I am, aren't you? ”
"That's the point, if in my name, no demon will appear. Even if it does, some bad things will happen. ”
"Okay, what do I do?"
"First bury this iron box at that intersection."
Caitlyn pulled out a dagger and dug a small hole in the middle of the road. The box was buried. Lin Xuan, on the other hand, took out a packet of white powder. Began to draw around the box. In the original book, there is a key of Solomon that can trap the summoned demons. It's just that the technique is too low-end, and many high-level demons can break free.
Lin Xuan made a series of changes to it. The materials used are also not painted like the main characters in the original book. In Lin Xuan's opinion, using ten dollars of self-spraying paint to paint Solomon's Key is pure nonsense. He had improvised a mixture of salt, gem dust, and other materials to use in this world to summon the Magic Circle.
Caitlin buried the box, then squatted to the side, looking curiously at the intricate pattern drawn by Lin Xuan.
"What is this?"
"Solomon's key, which is used to trap the summoned demons. Normally, this circle is an advanced subject for witchers. But in my case, that's just the basics. There's a lot more to learn. Ready to get started, right? Follow this spell to activate the Spell Summoning Circle. ”
"This ......"
"Any questions?"
"No, I just think, isn't it too simple. This is a magic circle that summons demons. Shouldn't there be a whole lot of ancient Greek, Hebrew or something like that? With just a few words, demons can be summoned. ”
"You're right. In a conventional sense, summoning creatures from other dimensions requires a huge amount of energy and complex rituals. But summoning demons is different. This is not a summoning spell in the conventional sense. In fact, it's actually an agreement. ”
"Agreements? Is it the kind of agreement I understand? ”
"Yes, it's the kind of agreement that the world is watching. It's just that it's a magic agreement with rules effects. I don't know exactly where it came from, but it's certainly very old. Humans have made some kind of pact with demons. It should be an agreement of equality in nature. Each other uses each other's strength to achieve their own goals. And for the sake of communication between each other, the two sides decided on this simple way of communication. This is not just a ritual of incarnation. Rather, it is a rule written in the essence of the world. Rules for both humans and demons. ”
"I kind of understand what you mean. But it's impossible for people all over the world to sign an agreement. Those who signed the agreement represented the whole world. ”
"Hehe, you may not understand it if you are born in a modern society. In some times, the emperors of mankind were able to represent their subjects. And the magic agreements they signed will also take effect throughout the country.
The things of the Age of Magic are really incomprehensible in today's society. This agreement should have been signed by many countries. After all, it is impossible for a single country to sign such a near-equal agreement. ”
"Well, knowing that it was countless times greater than my ancestors, it was already represented. That's really good news. Now all I have to do is read it aloud? ”
"Yes, give it a try. To be honest, this is also my first time using this protocol. Remember, in the coming moment, I want you to call out the demon's name, Crowley. ”
“0…..”
A few minutes later.
"And then, we're just waiting here? What will happen. A space door, or a tornado? ”
"It's already here."
At this time, Caitlin discovered that in the middle of the formation drawn by Lin Xuan, I don't know when a middle-aged man with a sore face appeared. The other party was wearing a black suit, with a rich face, looking harmless to humans and animals. It's just that Lin Xuan knew that this fat guy who was harmless to animals was one of the four famous terrifying knights. The future Lord of Hell, Crowley.
"It was such an unfriendly date. That's how you treat your friends who have crossed planes and come to help you. ”
"Hehe, you're just as rumored to be, Flim, Crowley."
Lin Xuan could emphasize Crowley's name. This made the other party's face a little ugly. You know, the summoning of the Evoking Ritual is random. Generally, only the nearest demon will be summoned. And a high-level demon like Crowley obviously won't appear easily. But this time, under Lin Xuan's instructions, Caitlin directly named Crowley.
It's like a nightclub lady standing in a row for people to pick. But the guest ordered one who didn't come to work today. As a result, the manager could only call and forcibly pull the one named by the other party. On that alone, Crowley knew. The pair of men and women in front of them are not those witchers who don't know anything about it. This is probably a rare two connoisseurs.
"Okay, let's follow the procedure. How can we help? Give your soul and you will get as much help as I can. ”
"I need you to answer me a few questions."
"No problem, as long as you pay the price. To be precise, it was this lady who gave her soul. I will do everything in my power to help you. ”
"Well, I'll put it another way. Let's talk about business, Crowley. I think you should be very interested in this. ”
