Chapter 740: Ghost Baby
Thankfully, it didn't last long, or Benjamin wouldn't have known what to do.
As her mental power faded, the girl opened her eyes, and the sparrow in her hand opened its eyes with it. Throughout the taming process, the chanting seemed to speed up the devouring of life force, and the originally full-fledged sparrow now looked like a withered shelf. The bare skin is covered with bruises, which is very scary.
The "ghost sparrow" slowly stood up from the girl's hand, and her eyes emitted a scarlet light.
Benjamin couldn't help frowning and took a few steps back as he escorted the boy.
"It's ......"
The girl also came back to her senses at this time, and suddenly showed an excited look, and almost jumped up with joy, and shouted, "I...... I made it!"
"Success?"
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl nodded, and suddenly reached out and threw it, sending the ghost finch flying into the air.
With a burst of dark elementals, black phantoms appeared under its ribs, forming two pairs of pitch-black wings. It fluttered its pitch-black wings and flew around the girl six times, finally stopping on her shoulder, rubbing its head lightly against the girl's neck, looking very submissive.
Albeit...... This action does not seem intimate at all, but a little scary.
"Can you command it? What can it do? Where is the limit of its strength?" Benjamin couldn't help but get a little excited, and asked several questions in succession.
The girl scratched her head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet, but ...... I should be able to make it fight for me, like spew out some Shadow Missiles or something. ”
Benjamin remembered the last time the bird was carcassed, and he couldn't help but nod.
"Come on, give it a try. He condensed a wall of ice in front of him and beckoned to the girl, "I need to know how powerful this thing really is." ”
"Ah...... All right. ”
The girl nodded. As if sensing her thoughts, the Ghost Sparrow suddenly flew into the air, spitting out four or five magical missiles made purely of dark elements. The missile slammed into the ice wall, thumping and thumping, striking a few small craters before dissipating into nothingness.
The system also recorded all the data just now.
"What the hell...... To be honest, the power is quite average. After the analysis, the system lazily said, "The power of each missile is actually similar to low-level magic. You can count on this thing to defend against the church, at least a few million. ”
Benjamin was not disappointed.
Under the abyss, there are only millions of such ghosts. Although they have been domesticated, they have lost that strange illusion ability, but the telecaster can command like an arm, and this is the most important place.
"With your current abilities, how many ghosts like this can you control?" asked Benjamin.
"Do you ......control it?" the girl said, scratching her head, with some distress, "I feel that after domesticating it, it has left a mark on my spiritual power. I may not be able to domesticate other ancestral spirits anymore. ”
Hearing this, Benjamin showed a look of disappointment.
"You mean, a telecaster can only domesticate a ghost? Is this still domestication, how is it like signing a contract?"
"This ...... I don't know. ”
"Forget it. ”
Eventually, Benjamin shook his head helplessly.
It seems that the beautiful blueprint for defeating the church with an army of ghosts has once again been shattered. After domestication, it seems that ghosts can only provide some simple means of magic for the caster of magic, but it is difficult to change the pattern of this world in a real sense.
But......
"This thing should continue to get stronger, right?" Benjamin asked, sensing that there was still dark elemental being absorbed into the sparrow's body.
Hearing this, the girl closed her eyes and communicated with the ghost for a while, and finally opened her eyes and nodded excitedly.
"Yes! It tells me that the more time passes, the better it gets!"
"That'...... It's kind of usable. ”
Benjamin nodded.
A pet that can grow is a good pet. Although this ghostfinch's innate aptitude may not be very good, as long as it continues to accumulate, it is not impossible to become a powerful lich.
He's ...... Suddenly opened up a new way for the system of telematics?
Originally, compared to magic, he felt that the mind was a bit weak, lacking direct offensive means, and could only play a miraculous effect on some special occasions. But if you add the "Ghost Baby" part, the chanting spellcaster will undoubtedly usher in a huge enhancement.
Obviously, the "domestication of ancestral spirits" on the overseas sect's side is a little different from the process he has researched here. Maybe it's the difference in the source of the ghosts, or maybe it's the difference in the domestication process...... In short, they didn't have a ghost baby per person, and on Benjamin's side, this is a scenario that can be achieved in the future.
In this way, Benjamin waved his hand, promising to catch more ghosts for the two siblings in the future, and asked them to take the ghost finch back to study it slowly. The mental talents in the academy are already being cultivated, and if they are done well in the future, they can become a not weak army.
He breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his dean's office.
The possible threat of attack by the church is the most important issue to be concerned about at this moment.
"There have been riots of varying degrees in some of the harbor cities of the Kingdom of Hori, and we have heard some rumors of pagans. "In addition, the church has also mobilized many people to go over, and there is no large army stationed near the current border. ”
After listening, Benjamin nodded.
Is the church really discouraged from attacking?
...... No, I still think it's a little suspicious.
Probably intuitively, Benjamin thought they couldn't give up the key to the elemental plane. That is the foundation of the Church's legacy, even more important than Grant's papal position. Even if Grant didn't want to send troops, pressure from the priests around him would force him to send troops.
After all, as long as they have this key, even if Grant is dead, it seems that they can create another powerful pope.
After some deliberation, Benjamin could only pull Miles back from the Potions laboratory.
"I'm sorry to bother with your research, but I have something very important to ask you. Benjamin said, "The offensive intent of the Horry Kingdom suddenly disappeared. On the surface, it seems that it has been harassed by a foreign sect, but ......"
Miles pulled out the needle in his arm and seemed happy to get out of here: "But you don't think so?"
Benjamin nodded.
"Can you find out the truth for me?"
