The words of the mage made Earl Field completely reassured. And when he stopped holding the mage back, the mage immediately resumed the ritual that he had paused.

Psychic spells, which are different from arcane spells and energy shaping spells. The latter is to manipulate the etheric elements with spiritual power, so as to achieve the ability to influence reality, and even directly give birth to the basic elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. Psychic spells, on the other hand, directly use spiritual power as a bridge to communicate with souls and even all kinds of incredible spiritual creatures, so as to achieve the point of creating incredible phenomena.

One step less may seem like a little easier, but it's a little more risky than spells in other systems. For example, you have no idea what kind of spirit beings you are coming into contact with, and you are not even sure whether the spirits you are summoning are kind or malicious to you.

If it's the latter, you'll probably be killed by this evil spirit before you can control it before you are fully prepared.

Therefore, generally speaking, a mature psychic mage will take the first step to create a means to ensure his own safety when casting this kind of spell. And this is the role of the magic array laid by the accompanying mage.

Allowing him and Field to enter a world between the living and the dead, so as to avoid Hiko's probing of them, is only part of the power of this circle. Its main power is to protect them from being harmed by evil spirits.

And the facts have proved that such protection is very necessary. Because as the ritual progressed, the mage summoned the souls of the dead who had just died. They were almost furious, and immediately attacked the mage's position.

The soul is a being without substance. But powerful, grudge-attached souls are able to use their grudges to cause a slight distortion of reality. The slightest distortion is only realistic, and if it were placed on any living person, it could be a mortal threat.

Just like it is now. The evil spirit, who was still holding a resentful sword before his death and still held a resentful sword after his death, raised his hand and slashed directly at the nearest Earl of Field, driven by the martial arts he had learned in his life.

Fortunately, there was a magic array in front of him to protect his safety, so that the attack of the evil spirit seemed to be cut into the iron wall in vain. Otherwise, maybe the sword of resentment would have slashed into his neck.

And Rao was lucky to be fine, and Field was also so startled that he stumbled and almost fell backwards to the ground. But the quick-eyed mage grabbed him and warned him very solemnly.

"Be careful, don't get out of this circle. They are not normal detached evil spirits, but evil spirits that I forcibly pulled out. Now they are still in a state of ignorance and chaos in their minds, like wild beasts, they only have instinct at all. In such a situation, as soon as you get out of the circle, they can immediately tear you to shreds. So, even if it's for your safety, you'd better be calm. Because if something happens, I won't be able to save you. ”

These words made Earl Field swallow his saliva in fright, and then sat down on the ground as if his legs were weak.

This avoided the possibility of him falling out of the magic circle, so the mage just glanced at him and stopped worrying about his safety. And looking at the mage who was concentrating on operating the magic circle, Field, who was extremely uneasy in his heart, knew that what he needed now was quiet, but he couldn't help but ask him questions.

"What are you going to do with these evil spirits, and what are you going to do with them at the end of the day?"

"Completely manipulating evil spirits, that's the realm of the Six Rings spell, and I can't do anything like that. But to put it simply, there is nothing wrong with guiding them. As I said, this is the soul that has left the body in advance. Sapient beings need to die for a period of time before they can enter the world of death with their memories of life. If you pull them out in advance like this, all they have is instinct. ”

"Only instinctive souls are very easy to manipulate. In addition to yearning for the River Styx, where they want to cleanse themselves of their filth and restore themselves to their most glorious appearance, they will also harbor the strongest hatred and jealousy towards any living person. And this emotion is most thoroughly reflected in the soldiers who died in battle. This causes them to attack any living person who comes their way to them, just as they did when they attacked you. And as long as they are released and guided to this ship, I don't need to say much about what will happen. ”

"I see. Touching his neck, which had almost been slashed, Earl Field asked with some trepidation. "So, what happens if they attack? I mean, it's deadly enough, and if so, how deadly?"

Hearing this, the mage glanced at his companion and spoke to him earnestly.

"I think I'm not being respectful, Lord Earl, but I must tell you that you should read more. The Imperial Academic Research Association had already formulated the seventh edition of the required reading textbook for the nobles twenty years ago, and the book "Initial Study of Paranormal Studies" was even more qualitatively classified as a primary textbook. Even children who are just beginning to start reading through this book, and if you don't even know about it, it will become a joke if you are asked in the salon of the nobility. ”

It's really embarrassing to be so outspoken. This is where their childhood friendship is placed, so that Field is at best complaining, not holding grudges. Otherwise, with this sentence alone, Field would have been able to send him to a noble court that specialized in hearing such cases on the grounds of offending the honor of the nobility.

Of course, the mage also knew that Field would not do this, so he had the confidence to say so. And after some persuasion, he quickly gave the answer.

"Paranormal beings, the most typical of them, are beings who are able to slightly distort reality with the power of their resentment. Ordinary wraiths, like soldiers killed in battle, headless knights. Because they have experienced terrible wars in front of them, their obsessions often lead them to appear in the form of swords in their hands. It's not an ordinary blade, but it's more lethal than a normal weapon. Because while they can kill and injure living beings like real weapons, the death power they are born with will also invade the bodies of the living through this weapon, plundering their vitality. Ordinary people often only need to stab a sword casually, and their lives will be taken away. Therefore, we warn all nobles and scholars to stay away from the evil spirits with weapons, and not to put their lives on the line to practice the so-called chivalric tales. It has nothing to do with you, the paladins and mages of the Templars, or the hunters with strange methods, are the regular means of dealing with them. This passage is from page 16 of the Character Atlas of "The Beginning of Paranormal Research", the dead on the battlefield. If you're interested, you can go back and read it for yourself. ”

"It's going to happen, I mean wait until we get back. But now, I'm more concerned about the situation here......" Seeing that the situation hadn't developed in the direction he wanted, Field asked the mage with some eagerness. "What about the evil spirits just now? I saw that you summoned several evil spirits, why didn't they attack these guys? Or do you have some new plans?"

"No, I don't have any plans. In fact, I've already let those evil spirits out. It's normal for you not to see them, and the soul can indeed disappear from the human horizon by its own will when it walks. They're right next to that guy right now, and I can see that very clearly. It's just a little strange that they seem to be worried about something, and they don't attack immediately. ”

The mage frowned a little strangely, not expecting such a thing to happen. Of course, there is a reason for this. After all, he had never been exposed to such an energy as the Holy Light, so of course, he couldn't understand the current situation.

The spirits are different. Because they have no wisdom and only instinct left, they are becoming more and more sensitive to the aura of holy light emanating from Hiko's body.

In the year since he received the power of the Holy Light, Hiko has used the Holy Light to repair his body countless times, which has already imprinted every muscle and every inch of skin on his body. And this makes him almost like a large torch in the shape of a human in the eyes of the evil spirit, burning with flames that make it impossible for them to get close.

His presence completely blocked their way. If they want to attack Billy and his mother, and even the other living on this ship, they must bypass Zhou Yi, the one who stands in the way. And trying to get around him is easier said than done.

Even if it is a wild beast without reason, it will never jump into the fire in one go. So they can only stagnate here, forming a situation that the mage can see, as if they are scruples.

This was not something the mage was happy to see, and although he was much calmer than Field, it didn't mean that he could stay so calm all the time.

The whereabouts of Billy's mother and son are a very crucial issue, and once they leave alive, they only need to say casually that neither Field nor himself can escape the punishment of the Glorious Court.

As a psychic mage, he didn't want to be locked up in some dark cell by those god-worshippers. So immediately, he urged these evil spirits.

Urging is not as simple as directing a well-trained hound to pounce on its prey. This requires him to use the power of magic to directly affect the emotions and consciousness of the evil spirit. Of course, because they don't have intelligence, he only needs to influence their emotions.

And just like adding condiments to a broth, after instilling a huge amount of anger into their emotions, these evil spirits immediately couldn't be suppressed anymore and attacked Hiko.
