Chapter 288: Summoning and Attachment

readx;? Avi sat down next to Ben Nicott, and he also picked up a cup of freshly brewed black tea, and tasted it, almost burning his tongue! Everything was so real on a spiritual level, but Avi knew that it was all fake, just something like a dream. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

"I have roughly understood that the life summoning magic mastered by Master Cat's Eye is capable of creating objects out of nothing, and that Freddy, the son of the old mage, is able to make the dead stand up againβ€”one summoned by imagination, the other awakened from the earth. ”

Ben Nicott nodded, "That's why I said that life summoning magic should be called figurative summoning magic, and death summoning magic is the real life summoning magic." According to religion, only the Father and some other gods can create life, and summoning magic can just meet the magician's desire to create 'life', which is the magic system that makes magicians closer to the gods, so those ambitious magicians will dream of exploring the mysteries of summoning magic... However, I know that 'Cat's Eye' doesn't have that ambition, and the reason why he learned summoning magic is to have the same strength as Freddy to use against Freddy. ”

"I see... Then Mr. Ben Nicot, you have that mission too, right?"

"I'm already dead," Ben Nicott replied, putting down his teacup and smirking, "a dead man should no longer interfere with a living man." I just wanted to finish the last thing I wanted to do, which was to take back that necklace and that gem, which was a thought that had been haunting my spirit body for a long time. ”

Avi cautiously asked, "Isn't it possible for Mr. Bennicot to transfer the spirit body that exists in my mental plane to his own body? I remember that the body in the hedron burial chamber is still intact, maybe..."

"Even if I transfer this small part of my spirit body to that body, most of my spirit body will have disappeared in the passage of time, and I will only become a waste person if I have that body again. Besides, it's a question of whether the body can still be used... Avi, you can rest assured that the spirit body is unique, and this is what I told you before. Therefore, my spirit body will be more or less repulsed by your spirit body, and one day, all this little bit of my spirit body will disappear, and you will no longer hear my voice..."

Avi looked at Ben Nicott's eyes, those dark black pupils seemed to hide countless magical mysteries, and there was helplessness that could not be hidden.

"Mr. Ben Nicott once saved me, and is the only great magician of this era, and of course I hope..."

Bennicott raised his head slightly, his white neck like carved jade, "Do you remember what I said? Actually, I can't do that, because most of the time my spirit body is dormant, and it will take mental strength to spy on you... So you don't have to worry, be yourself as you want in the real world, and don't worry about me. ”

Avi was stunned, he didn't know what to react to, Ben Nickot smiled again, and then changed the subject, moving on to the matter of magic.

Bennicott tells Avi that the seventeen "hoplites" on the battlefield are most likely the bodies of Freddy's magic. Maybe the seventeen were already dead, and they were just walking corpses with magical powers. On the other hand, Freddy, whose magic has not yet been completely unblocked, is ready to move, and the first thing he did was to get closer to Prince Bradley and form an alliance, otherwise Freddy would not use his ability to help Prince Bradley.

Avi also told Ben Nicott about the details of the battlefield that day, and Ben Nicott guessed that the seventeen "hoplites" were not simply summoned by magic.

"In fact, those skilled blacksmiths who know how to cast enchanted weapons can be called half magicians, because the forging of enchanted weapons is to attach magic power to the weapon, and it consumes all the magic power and part of the life force of the blacksmith.

As far as I know, the creator of the ancient enchanted weapon was a genius blacksmith who had practiced attachment magic, and this blacksmith wanted to change the situation of magical power at that time, and he tried to turn a magician with a book and a magic scroll into a magician with a sword and a shield. The attempt was successful, but he also found it very difficult to get magic to attach to dead objects, it was not as simple as sticking dirt to clothes, and in addition to consuming mana, the blacksmith's own life would also become a consumable for forging enchanted weapons. ”

"I see... It's no wonder that those master blacksmiths don't live long, and that a skilled blacksmith can only forge one enchanted weapon. ”

"Enchanted weapons are expensive and rare, and now those blacksmiths who know how to forge enchantments retain some of the knowledge of the original magic master, which is enough for them to forge all kinds of enchanted weapons. And I believe that a very small number of blacksmiths on the continent still have more knowledge about enchantment forging, such as Sivel, who forged life weapons. ”

Life weapons and enchanted weapons are "artifacts" that can change the tide of battle and greatly increase the strength of the owner. They must all be the same source of power as magic, right?" thought to himself.

"Those seventeen soldiers..."

"Freddy is a magical genius, and of course he is also proficient in attachment magic. Perhaps now he has reached a deeper level of magic in this department, able to attach magic power to human bodies, and treat those bodies as weapons. Ben Nicott's voice was muffled, something that even Ben Nicott was upset about.

Avi suddenly realized. It wouldn't be surprising if a sword could sparkle and soften the feet of those who approached it. After all, there are many types of enchanted weapons, and it is possible to do them with various enchanted weapons with different special effects, but the people who can move on their own are different, and they are definitely more profound magical powers!

"Maybe it's the weapons and armor on their bodies that are attached to the magic?"

Ben Nicott pondered for a moment before responding: "It is indeed possible, life summoning magic requires a lot of mana, although death summoning magic does not need to consume too much mana, but if you use attachment magic and death summoning magic on the same object at the same time, it becomes very complicated and difficult... Could it be that Freddy, whose magic power has not yet been completely unsealed, already has such strength..."

Avi had thought that the summoning magic of life was much more powerful than the summoning magic of death, after all, it was the most incredible thing that something that did not exist could be embodied by imagination. But when Ben Nicott said this, the death summoning magic immediately became a force to be reckoned with. After all, the dead are like marionettes, they don't feel pain, they don't fear death, and it's much easier to create such an army of dead corpses than to create an army of imagination.

"The Holy Spirit Mercenary Group in the Mercenary Guild can manipulate any corpse soldiers!"

"That should be part of the magic of the Death Summoning Department, their leader is a magician that the three of us don't know, after all, the only magician known to the mainland is the old mage and his three apprentices. ”

Avi recalls that Amme's army of 100,000 fell to his knees without any resistance, and recalls Felisti's analysis, "The soldiers seemed to feel desperate for a moment, and they didn't even have the courage to stand up... What kind of terrible magic is that?"

"Perhaps it is the power of despair, the power of despair, the magic that makes those who come close to it feel so desperate, so desperate that they want to kill themselves. ”

A cold crawled up his neck along his back, Prince Bradley, whom Avi admired, should not be the one who colluded with evil magicians, but without the help of the seventeen "hoplites", perhaps Prince Bradley would not have been able to defeat Amsol, who had the advantage of strength.

"There is no good or bad magic power, good or evil, if the user is captured by lust and greed, and it is against the teacher's intention to do something harmful to the innocent, and Goliath and I and Cat's Eye follow this starting point to look at other people who use magic... Of course, Gloria has changed now, and she has become the kind of person we hated the most. Bennicott said as if he had insight into Avi's thoughts.

Bennicott later mentioned some other possibilities, he was not 100% sure that it was Freddy's "masterpiece", after all, Freddy was almost sixty years old in terms of age, and he might have passed on what he had learned to someone, and then that person used Freddy's "flavor" of death-summoning magic on those bodies. Bennicott also confessed to Avi that if Avi really wanted to play for the eldest prince, he didn't have to worry about his safety. Because even Freddy himself may not be able to discover a small part of Ben Nicott's spirit body hidden in Avi's spiritual plane at close range. In this world, only Cat's Eye and Goliath can perceive it, who made them have a deep bond with Bennicot and have a very familiar feeling.

"Mr. Bennicot, about that necklace... That Prince Walter didn't seem to have found the weapon of life, and I can't find out about its whereabouts now. Avi thought that he could not protect himself, and what he had promised to Mr. Bennicott became unattainable.

Ben Nicott picked up a pot of flowers with light pink leaves, which Knightney had planted with her own hands, "It's okay, I know it's very difficult, you just have to do your best." If you can retrieve it, I'll teach you all the psychic magic, and if I'm no longer there, then I'll give it to... Leave it to Goliath. ”

"Mr. Bennicott..."

"If you're going to take that life weapon to yourself, you'll have to do so only after my spirit body is completely gone," Ben Nicott said with a smile as he looked down at the flower, "Gloria once told me she could find me a new body. But I know her intentions, she wants one more helper to deal with her enemies, and I only want to fulfill my own wishes. ”
