Chapter 20: The Decree and the Curse
"Spell bearer...... Heroic spirits have also been summoned! Warrier's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he carefully looked at Zhou Yao and Sakuya behind him.
And Shival, who clearly knew the meaning of the spell and the Heroic Spirit, was a different person, and his originally high emotions quickly shrank.
The Heroic Spirit is an existence that he will never be able to reach.
Not to mention his discouragement, Warril looked at Sakuya in a maid costume and said hesitantly.
"You, no, can you tell me your real name?" As soon as he spoke, Warrill changed his tone to a respectful tone, and he knew more about the existence and status of the Heroic Spirit than Uncle Ray in the guild system. It is precisely because I understand him that I will have respect, and I will not take it seriously like Uncle Lei.
"Real name? Sixteen nights, Sakuya. Sakuya glanced at Zhou Yao and said his name after getting the affirmation.
"Sixteen Nights, Saki Nights......" Warrill searches for memories in his mind, but never finds the same name.
In the end, he gave up, there are many types of Valhalla, especially after the Valhalla was rebuilt, so that the spell holder who was approved by Valhalla would also become Valhalla after death.
Perhaps it was the bearer who was recognized as the incarnation of the Heroic Spirit...... Warrier, who had given birth to this idea, didn't care and continued to speak.
"So you're here to join us?"
"Huh? Is there any other option? Hearing the "we" in Warrill's words, Zhou Yao said suspiciously, could it be that there are several associations in Yode City?
"Since you are the holder, no matter which of the three families of the Imperial Family, will be happy to accept you. In addition to the branch of the association, there is also a branch of the Templar church and the residence of the Gate of Truth, each of which has its own advantages, so you should consider it carefully. Warrill explained carefully.
"Ah, that's it, teach me no interest, the door of truth...... What are the benefits? ”
Zhou Yao had heard Uncle Lei mention before that the Soul Eradication Association was a gathering place for magicians, and the reason why it was called "Soul Elimination" was because he intended to one day expel all the undead.
The Templar Church is, of course, the Church of the Clergy, like Father Kark, who is nominally a member of the Church.
The remaining Gate of Truth also has a name called the Alchemist Guild, which focuses on alchemy and martial arts, and the guild advocates the strongest internal force and the strongest external weapon, in short, the group of martial artists and forging professions.
Zhou Yao is indeed very fond of martial arts, but he prefers magical magic to him, and has little interest in joining the Gate of Truth.
"I wouldn't recommend it there if you're not a holder. You must know that the Gate of Truth is the origin of man-made Noble Phantasm, and if you want to learn how to make Noble Phantasms, it is the first choice. Warrill didn't look impatient, and introduced it carefully.
"Noble Phantasm...... I still want to join the association. Zhou Yao thought about it, the Noble Phantasm is indeed a great help when fighting, and some powerful Noble Phantasmas are even more effective.
For example, the shining obedient sword and the Avalon of our king are all treasures that make his eyes hot, but he also knows that the more powerful the treasure, the more difficult it is to get, unlike the browser game in the previous life, "The dragon slayer sword is sent when you click it." He still prefers to join the association.
"Well, you're a holder of the Summoning Specialization, and it's better than a guild or an association." Warrill nodded and said.
"Summoning a Specialized?" The new words made Zhou Yao intrigued, and he couldn't help but think of what Uncle Lei once said, "There are very few spell holders who can summon heroic spirits. "It turns out that there are many kinds of spells.
"Well, there are types of spells, and the bearer himself is the reserve army of the Heroic Spirit, and the Heroic Spirit also has a division of ranks in the old era, which is the same reason."
"What are the specific types?" Zhou Yao was completely interested, and asked again and again. Uncle Lei, who had seen his side, shook his head a little helplessly, he looked at the sky outside, and saw that Lei Ruxue's face was obviously tired, and it seemed that the fatigue of running around during the day had been revealed.
So he greeted Warrier, asked Zhou Yao to sleep in the association's guest room for one night, and then got up and went back with Lei Ruxue first.
After sending off the Lei family's father and daughter, Xival also confessed that something had happened and left, and in the end, only Warrier, Zhou Yao and Sakiya were left in the room. So the conversation went back to the previous topic.
"Since you are so interested, I will talk about it in detail, it just so happens that I have been disturbed by those things in the past few days, and I will take the opportunity to relax." Warrill cleared his throat and said, it looked like his throat was a little dry after talking too much before.
Zhou Yao, who found this, hurriedly glanced at Sakuya, who knowingly took out a whole set of tea sets and brewed black tea on the spot.
"Oh, it's so fragrant, I haven't drunk black tea for a long time."
Warrill watched Sakuya's skillful movements with some surprise, and thought to himself that this Miss Heroic Soul wearing a maid costume was not just a personal interest.
Savoring the black tea handed over, Warrill continued.
"Before I talk about types, let me introduce the background of the Command Spell."
"This year is '82, you know." Warrill asked.
"Yes." Zhou Yao nodded. At the end of the old era, humanity was driven out of the continent by the undead, and the land beneath his feet was actually a dry area of the sea.
"The living area of human beings cannot be only a few decades old, but the new era is only 82 years, do you know why?" Warrill continued.
"This ...... I don't know. Zhou Yao hesitated for a moment and replied honestly.
"Because of the rebuilding of Valhalla." Warrill said solemnly.
"Valhalla rebuilt, has it been destroyed before?" Zhou Yao was shocked.
What is Valhalla? It's Valhalla, it's the place where all the Heroic Spirits exist, and the sparkle is very strong, but after all, it's still bound by Valhalla.
How can such a buggy thing be destroyed? Who has such a great ability?
"Well, on the day the end of the old era erupted, the Valhalla was destroyed, causing the vast majority of the Immortal to disappear." Warrill said in a soothing tone.
"By whom?" Zhou Yao asked curiously.
"That's not what I know." Warrill shook his head.
"The day Valhalla was rebuilt was determined to be the year 0, but the birth of the spell holder was not because of Valhalla."
At this point, Warrill paused and drank the black tea in his cup before continuing.
"It's because of the Holy Grail system created by the Imperial Three Family."
"Not the Holy Grail War?" Zhou Yao thought he had misheard and confirmed it.
"No, it's the Holy Grail system." Warrill was stunned for a moment, then repeated again.
"It's too complicated to talk about this, but I'll simply say that the Holy Grail system is all about increasing the number of Immortals in Valhalla, selecting bearers from among humans and cultivating them."
"Like the treasures mentioned earlier, as well as skill markings, they are all circulated from the system."
"Skill Mark!" Zhou Yao immediately thought of the conditions for unlocking the second Heroic Spirit, and his heart became eager.
Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with coming here, and you can find a solution!
"Well, speaking of which, you haven't connected to the system yet, there are connected instruments in the guild, and you can use them tomorrow, in the corner of the hall when you came in." Warrill smiled to soothe next Zhou Yao's emotions.
"You can think of the Spell as a contract of the highest order, a contract with the Holy Grail system, with Valhalla. It will help you grow, and when you grow, you will become a heroic spirit and fight for the future of humanity. ”
"And the way to help you grow, in addition to the assistance of both treasures and skills, there is also the talent unique to the type of spell."
"There are six types of spells, the first four are the common strength enhancement type, endurance enhancement type, agility enhancement type, and magic enhancement type, corresponding to the four basic ability values."
"These four enhanced spells will grant the wielder corresponding talents, such as the wielder of the power-enhanced type is known for his tendon strength, and the magic-enhanced type is known for his mana." Warrill picked up the second cup of black tea, blew it and drank it.
"The remaining two are the relatively rare Noble Phantasm Specialized Type and your Summoning Specialized Type, the former is for the Noble Phantasm, and has a unique advantage in the use and manufacture of the Noble Phantasm. As for the latter......" said that at the critical moment, Warrill sold the lawsuit, and Zhou Yao's eyes were so anxious that his eyes flashed red, and he smiled heartily, stroked his beard and continued.
"It's the privilege of summoning the wielder, such as fantasy species and elves, and the Heroic Spirit."
Well, not every spell summons Heroic Spirits...... Zhou Yao understood this thoroughly.
In addition, as a contract, the spell has the highest regularity, and the holder will use it as a medium for contract magic, and it will have absolute execution. Therefore, even if you are not a holder of the Summoned Specialization type, you can use this to sign a strong partner. "I have to say that Warrill is really conscientious, explaining a new world to Zhou Yao in every detail.
"For this, the association has a special contract for the magic of the place, one is the 'demon museum', a museum-like place, exhibiting goods collected from various sources, from fantasy planting to viewing pets, almost everything."
"Another one is the 'Corpse Girl Rental Company', which is a new department that only appeared after the appearance of the owner, and was established by a person named [Professor]."
Corpse Rental Company? Isn't it the same as that......
Zhou Yao couldn't help but think that there was also an existence called Corpse Ji in a certain anime.
Zhou Yao continued to ask about some other details, and Warrill knew everything.
Soon late at night, Warrill looked at the time and clapped his hand and said.
"It's not early, let's stop here today, if you have any questions, you can always come and ask me, my office is in this room."
"Well, thank you so much for today." Zhou Yao sincerely thanked him.
Later, under Warrier's guidance, Zhou Yao and Sakiya moved into the association's own guest room.
Zhou Yao, who was still in an excited mood, couldn't resist the intrusion of the sleeping demon, and soon fell asleep.
"Good night, my master." Sakiya whispered softly and disappeared into the room.
