Section A, Chapter 48: A Study of Killing Gods (Edus)
"It doesn't seem that complicated. After touching his head and thinking about it, Eders suddenly asked, "Huh...... What's the difference between a contract and a summon, and which one can make a demon?"
"Yes, but the effect is different. As if thinking for a moment how to explain it to the captain, Deenor hesitated for a moment before he began to speak.
"Contracts, as the name suggests, are magic that makes contracts with other creatures. Summoners can summon or directly find creatures that have volunteered to become demons and take them under their command, and these demons are also divided into companion demons (water spirit Namedia) who are mostly opposite-sex humanoids and cannot voluntarily break the contract after establishing a relationship, combat demons (stone demon Guladan), and pet-type demons (Dango Minia). β
With a slight pressure on his shoulder, Deerno brought up something new: "Besides...... It can also be used in conjunction with the life system to make a life sharing contract with other people to live and die together and share life (many Aiya will make this contract with her partner, master, or lover, so that Aya's life force and infinite lifespan can be provided to each other.) For example, Lusa's parents are like that. This kind of contract cannot be applied to two people who are not extremely in love). With the illusion department, it can even coerce some people to make such a pact - such as committing suicide if they don't do something. β
, that sounds scary...... Suddenly, he felt a chill coming from behind him, and Eddes shuddered: no wonder people generally have a bad impression of illusionists.
"The summoning system is to summon weapons, magic tools, or transfer items from a fixed place to one's own hands in combination with the space-time system. It is also possible to temporarily summon creatures from other planes that do not have a contract agreement, but can get out of control. Similarly, it can be combined with pure arcane energy or elemental magic to summon and create elemental angels (Owl Nallor) who are not connected by contract but are directly attached to the caster. β
"You know so much, I don't understand. This paragraph was completely confused, Eders knocked on his helmet, and did not hide his confusion at all: "Can a person like me who has no power to make a demon also have demons?"
"Yes, but you need an outside powerβsome kind of magic weapon to keep the magic on the demons. Another contract mage is needed to cast spells on you. Jokingly, De Nor said, "Captain, if you can get a magic weapon as a medium, you can also ask Miss Lucina to try it." However, the chances of success are slim. β
"Forget it. Although he was indeed a little excited, Edes still had to give up from the bottom of his heart: "I can't control it." What's more, I've been single for so long. β
"That's right, Captain. What souvenirs do you want me to bring?" Changing his sitting position slightly, Derno rubbed his brown hair, "Or ...... A talisman that will bring good luck?"
"Come on, I don't believe in those things. It's all used by scammers to make money. With a veto, Eders shook his head: "But you know so much, why can't you use any spells? β
"Not really. Speaking of this, Deerno had no choice but to smile helplessly: "But you can also not be targeted by fanatical law breakers." Some psychopaths claim to destroy all magic, so they go around asking mages for trouble with spell-breaking spells that are already magic. These contradictory creatures have even attacked our academy, but unfortunately they can't even penetrate the barrier of the gate. β
It's really a bunch of weak scum...... Hearing that he almost didn't laugh, Eders cleared his throat and asked another question he cared about: "The curator...... yes, Doug Mallow -- what does he know about the Black Ice Reaper?"
"A little. He's even talked to me about it before. After thinking about it, Deerno said in a very confident tone, "Because I was reading a book on the introduction to god-killing after I finished working as a librarian, he came to me to make small talk. However, he didn't know much about the Black Ice Reaper, so in the end, I basically told him the legend. β
"I guessed it too. Although he was a little unwilling, Eders had no choice but to sigh and ask what he was more interested in: "You said the introduction to god-killing? Why would the Mage Academy study such a terrifying thing?" β
"People there talk about how to kill God with Ebon every day, and we're used to it. Touching the back of his head, Derno didn't know what he was thinking: "The most important thing is that you must have a magic weapon, a divine seal, and a godhead in order to become a god killer." Ironically, in the end, it is up to the power of other gods or to make oneself a god in order to kill the gods. But even this could not defeat most of the main gods. β
"Why don't you kill gods? Isn't this idle. Hearing this, Eddes still didn't understand how sensitive the topic they had just discussed was in the field: "What kind of god is our Black Ice Death here?"
"Certainly not the Lord God...... It should be an ancient god or an evil god, right? The Ice Dragon God and the Frost Giant must be the Old Gods. Speaking of this, Del Norte paused: "Actually, outsiders think that the dragon god and the frost giant are the same god. It's just two forms. β
β...... Nonsense. Muttering that this possibility was denied, Eddes was silent for a moment, and his heart sank: it was true that no one had ever seen two gods appear at the same time. Thus both tribes felt that the other's gods did not exist.
This argument makes no sense at all. With a snort, Eders couldn't admit the speculations: if so, then why was it that only the Children of Ice could see the Ice Dragon God?
But then again. No one has actually seen a dragon god in hundreds of years. Occasionally, people who come back from the Ice Dragon Valley claim to have seen the dragon god, but that is simply a rumor that is not credible at all.
"I kind of know why he's here to help you. Thinking about it, Eddes understood this: "That old man has always wanted to come to the Permafrost to see it, right...... But can he hold it up?"
"It should be fine. He was very strong. Nodding very confidently, Deerno hesitated slightly: "Although I didn't write a letter to confirm his physical condition...... But the curator, he will definitely be fine. β
"At such an age, maybe one day it won't work. Still feeling unreliable, Eders shook his head: "No matter how powerful a person is, he will lose to age." I haven't heard of an old man who can stand it after arriving in the land of permafrost. β
"Some of the mages are old men, and they can all use spells to protect themselves. His face flushed slightly, and Deerno seemed to think of something embarrassing: "For example...... Those who are weak can enchant themselves to increase their physical strength. It is said that some people are particularly eager to learn it. β
Isn't that you?
