More than a thousand years ago, when summoning was still very popular, many mages were studying the secrets of summoning. For example, how to summon powerful magical creatures, and how to summon legendary creatures - dragons, etc., but no one has been able to understand the mysteries.

It wasn't until a mage stumbled upon his home that he summoned the Gollum Bird that his wife had bought at the bazaar the other day—a bird called "Coo" that was used to deliver letters, that he discovered that the essence of this summoning technique was to move the nearest magical creature in the vicinity in space.

And this discovery completely solved the case of the disappearance of magical creatures in the town, which has always had a high crime rate, and at the same time, completely disrupted the harmonious relationship between summoners.

The mages began to become suspicious, guarding against each other that the creatures they had so managed to summon were summoned by others. At the same time, they were scheming, hoping to summon a few magical creatures from others.

In particular, those merchants who are engaged in the business of magical creatures are so worried that they can't sleep day and night, and once a creature is lost, they suspect the mage...... It can be said that during that period of time, the human towns were full of mourning, chickens and dogs jumping.

Gradually, this craze slowly faded. After all, the principle of summoning is to move the nearest magical creature into the summoning array, so the creature summoned in this way is likely to be a pet in the vicinity. Not to mention that these pets are not aggressive, they are likely to become a burden in actual combat, which is a waste of mana!

It is precisely because of this that summoning gradually began to become unpopular. The main purpose of the academy's course arrangement this time is just to let students feel the social atmosphere and the feeling of summoning when summoning was prevalent back then. The reason why the teacher chose the location of the course in the outer forest of the Merlin Forest is simply because it is a place where magical creatures live. Casting a summoning spell here, at least you won't be approached by your master and cause trouble as you do in the town.

As for the outer forest, although it is located in the forest of Merlin, because of its relative proximity to the human principality, there are no large magical creatures here. Some of them are also small, docile, and suitable for pets. Therefore, the War College is more reassuring and allows students to come here to experience learning.

The principle of summoning has been explained by the lecturer just now, so everyone knows that the summoned creatures are in the closest position to the magic circle. As a result, many students who thought it was novel began to go deep into the outer forests with the idea of summoning some high-level creatures.

After all, the closer you get to the depths of Merlin's Forest, the more advanced magical creatures there are in theory. Although everyone knows that there is little hope, there will still be many people who will fantasize: what if you are lucky enough to summon a big guy out?

But as they walked, they soon reached the border of the land that had been cultivated by humans. Although it was not dangerous to walk a little further, since there were no difficult roads in the primeval jungle, most of the students also stopped and began to formally find an empty space to draw the circle.

Since this summoning array is not a common basic magic circle, basically no students will engrave it on their own magic weapons, so they can only draw it on the spot.

At the same time, due to the complexity of the structure of this magic circle and the large area of the area, which is almost five or six meters in diameter, it is not so easy to find a suitable open space.

Xiu and Gray searched for a long time before they found a similar place. By the time they started to draw the summoning array, the group of the pigtailed man and the freckles next door had almost drawn a prototype.

Although the progress was a little slower than that of other groups, the people in the Silver Moon Class were not in a hurry, and did not pursue quick success, but drew according to the drawings in a very standardized manner.

Since Roland's injuries had not yet healed, it was a little inconvenient to bend over, so he stood aside and rested, and the circle was completed by the other five people.

In this case, Rand always ran over from time to time to ask Roland if he felt tired and wanted to take a break. He behaved in such a way that it made people wonder who was the courtier and who was the prince.

And Rand's behavior undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention to Roland, and the students in other groups also looked sideways. They were all envious, envious of how Roland could have such a good life and be valued by the prince.

The people in the Silver Moon Class were very accustomed to the way Roland and Rand got along, and they were concentrating on drawing the magic circle, and at the same time carefully comparing whether the magic circle they drew was the same as the one on the drawing.

I don't know how long it has been, but the group of the pigtailed man and the freckles have finished drawing the circle. And here in the Silver Moon class, almost a third of them have not yet been drawn, and the progress is a lot slower.

As the only nobleman in the group, the pigtailed man was naturally the first to use this circle to cast a summoning spell. I saw the pigtailed man whistling proudly, then he squatted down, put his hand on the edge of the circle, and began to slowly inject mana into it.

The pattern of the circle began to light up rapidly, and then the pattern began to slowly change and rotate, but no creature appeared!

What's going on?

The pigtailed man's eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, and he looked back at the little freckles in wonder: "What's the matter?

"I didn't ......," Freckles whispered, her voice trembling a little, a sign of fear.

"Damn! Lao Tzu's luck is so bad!" The pigtailed man turned his head and looked at the glowing magic circle on the ground, then gritted his teeth, and another wave of violent mana was injected.

Unexpectedly, the result this time was even worse than the previous one, not to mention that no creature was summoned, and a stone explosion exploded from the magic circle on the ground, washing away most of the magic circle that had been drawn!

The pigtailed man wiped off the mud splashed on his face, and scolded angrily: "What the hell is going on? There must be something wrong with this magic circle, bring the drawings to Lao Tzu to see!"

One of the students in their group trembled and handed the drawings to the pigtailed man.

The pigtailed man took the drawing and looked at it, and found that some of the magic circles they drew were different from the drawings, and it seemed that the problem was here.

It's just that the formation that went wrong in this part was drawn by the pigtailed man himself!

The pigtailed man frowned, and then suddenly kicked him down without warning, concentrating on repairing the small freckles of the magic circle beside him, and scolded again: "Damn, I don't know how to remind you if I drew a mistake, what's the use of asking a guy like you!"

Freckles was startled by this sudden scolding, and then the whole person shrunk into a ball, silently enduring the beating and scolding of the pigtailed man, just like usual.

But for some reason, today's little freckles seem to be in a somewhat impatient mood. When he was beaten and scolded by a man with long pigtails, the grievances and depression in his heart seemed to be stronger than usual.

This may be because of the appearance of Roland and Rand, which made Freckles realize for the first time that not all nobles are as unreasonable as pigtailed men, and will beat and scold them at will.
