Chapter 5: Summoning
Tang Mo was not very satisfied with his promotion speed, if the mages of this world knew his thoughts, I am afraid that most people's first reaction would be to beat this dissatisfied guy, and the rest would probably commit suicide in frustration. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Getting started as a mage is not a simple task, and even for a mage with a heritage, it is not uncommon for a mage to go from learning the first trick (level 0 spells) to becoming a level 1 magic apprentice, to an intermediate magic apprentice (level 3 and 4 apprentices), and then to an advanced magic apprentice (level 5 and 6). But that's all, at least ninety-eight out of a hundred senior apprentices, and it stopped here.
And if you want to be promoted to a full-fledged mage, you need a smart mind, a keen perception, a strong body, enough understanding, a systematic inheritance, plenty of money, diligent practice, and a lot of reading...... Ninety-eight people have fallen in the face of these harsh conditions, and the remaining two people are in the face of the final difficulties, and it is difficult to say whether they have fallen one or two.
The last piece of the puzzle, if it is a ring mage, must get permission from the goddess of magic to successfully access the first layer of the magic web, so that he can successfully construct the first level 1 spell and become an official mage, a level 1 mage. If you are an arcane mage, you must summon elemental spirits, and at least one of the four elements must be summoned accordingly, whether it is to sign an equal contract with the elements or to harness the elements strongly, this process is essential. As for the positive and negative energies, few people can summon the corresponding existence, the former represents the divine energy, and the latter has most of the authority in the hands of the god of death.
Therefore, in just three years, Tang Mo can go from an ordinary warrior who knows nothing about magic to a senior apprentice who has stepped into the door of a formal mage with half a foot, and he is completely driving a Lamborghini on the high speed, and he also feels that the speed is too slow.
He only saw that he was already a first-level warrior before, and now he had not yet entered the ranks of official mages, but he didn't want to think that the mage of this world was not a cannon fodder profession like a warrior. You must know that according to the army configuration of the Four Kingdoms of Light, for every team of 100 people, a hundred warriors will be equipped with an additional mage, and it is not guaranteed that all of them are official mages, most of them are just high-level apprentices.
It's a pity that although Tang Mo has enough inheritance, he has always been in a state of self-study, and no one has ever told him how difficult it is for a mage to advance. As for Ta Ling, it is actually an intelligent gatehouse, and if Tang Mo doesn't take the initiative to ask about the rest of the things, he won't take the initiative to tell them. Various subjective and objective factors caused Tang Mo to run wildly at a speed of one hundred and twenty yards on the path of the mage, and he didn't know that sixty yards was actually the normal speed.
But no matter what, Tang Mo still ushered in this day. According to Calvin's guidance, he cleaned the largest summoning room on the first floor of the mage tower, cleaned himself in advance, and changed into a loose cloth robe, in short, to keep his physical and mental state in the best condition.
The next step is to arrange the six-pointed star circle on the ground with a serious and pious attitude, and prepare the corresponding props: crystal balls, black mirrors, incense, candles, magic talismans, gems......
There are six types of gems that need to be used, the first is Galactic Tide, a special type of jadeite that is usually used to decipher magical writings, and in this ritual it is used to strengthen the Black Mirror, revealing something that is not normally visible;
The second is amethyst, the steps of the ritual must not be wrong, the crystal is used to promote intelligence, improve intuition, help thinking, concentration, and enhance memory;
The third is fluorite, the soft power of this gemstone, which has the effect of stabilizing emotions and reducing mental tension;
The fourth is blue zircon, which may unconsciously fall into certain environments during the meditation process of the ritual, this gemstone can be used to dispel some empty illusions;
The fifth is emerald, the ceremony may appear substantial danger, it has the effect of predicting danger, when the danger comes, the color of the emerald will change, sending out the danger warning.
Finally, there is opal, which is used to help relieve fatigue and is a symbol of good luck. Despite a hundred percent preparation, there is still the possibility of failure, so good luck is essential.
The above six gems can be freely chosen, different gem materials play different effects in the ceremony, Tang Mo carefully chose the combination of these gems after studying a large number of magic notes.
After everything was ready, Tang Mo calmly stepped into the center of the magic ring. The outermost ring of the six-pointed star circle lit a circle of candles, the incense of the six apex emitted a trace of light smoke, and on the hexagonal edges in the center of the circle, black mirrors were placed, Tang Mo held the magic talisman in his hand, and placed six kinds of gems in front of him, and began to inject mana into the crystal ball.
The crystal ball was stimulated, slowly rising into mid-air at the eye level of Tang Mo's eyes, and floated counterclockwise between the six black mirrors. The entire circle was also activated, and the various inscriptions of the sun, moon and stars seemed to come to life, working clockwise. The pitch-black surface of the black mirror opened, and the six black mirrors took on swirls of six different colors, which represented a passage to the heterotopic plane.
Red is fire, blue is water, white is wind, yellow is earth, gold is sacred, and black is death. The appearance of the six vortices meant that Tang Mo had the ability to communicate the energy of the six elements, and there would be no defects in some aspects.
Tang Mo's heart was full of joy, he cautiously glanced at the blue zircon, everything was normal, it seemed that he had not fallen into some kind of illusion. But before he could retract his gaze, the emerald suddenly changed, and the green gemstone shimmered red, which was a sign of danger!
Tang Mo only felt that his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he grabbed the fluorite in front of him. The gem emitted a soft light, and Tang Mo tried his best to stabilize his emotions and maintain the operation of the magic circle, as long as the magic circle did not collapse, no evil spirit could attack him!
The crystal ball floated in front of the black vortex and stopped, reflecting a black humanoid shadow inside. Tang Mo closed his eyes, maintained a meditative posture, and his spirit extended over to "see" the figure inside the crystal ball.
This figure looked familiar, because this was Tang Mo himself, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, this is a doppelganger!
A doppelganger is another invisible self hidden in everyone's psyche, meaning two people walking together. Only oneself can see one's doppelganger, but this half is impossible for the human eye to capture. The doppelganger does not leave any reflection in an ordinary mirror, nor does it cast a shadow, but it stands behind the person at all times, monitors the person's every move, and pours its own suggestions into the person's brain or infiltrates the person's heart, thus forming thoughts.
And for Tang Mo, the doppelganger also has a special meaning, because he was reborn in this body, and the original soul has now become a monster like a "doppelganger", obviously its appearance cannot bring any kindness.
But this is also a good thing, if it weren't for the discovery of the existence of the doppelganger during the promotion ceremony, it would grow stronger with the strength of the body, and always monitor the body behind its back, once the body is weak one day, it may take advantage of it. But even so, it doesn't mean that the original Tang Mo is resurrected, and it will only be an evil devil with Tang Mo's appearance who will stand up again.
Now that he has found it, of course Tang Mo must resolutely get rid of this hidden danger, but the magic circle is his home field!
He stretched out his left hand, palm up, and the crystal ball floated back in front of him, stopping a foot above his palm. Tang Mo concentrated his mind and chanted, "I summon you, the spirit of the elements, to call you in the name of the true god Dawn Light, to appear in the crystal ball in front of me. ”
Red, blue, white and yellow rays of light appeared in the crystal ball, Tang Mo continued to chant the summoning spell, and the red light gradually occupied most of the crystal ball, and the image gradually became clear.
"Tell me your name, Elemental Elf. ”
The fire dragon shook his head and solemnly said his name, "My name, Salamanda, the king of the fire elemental elves. ”
Tang Mo was taken aback, although he had already expected the image of this fire dragon after seeing it, he was still very surprised to hear him admit it himself. In this summoning ritual, it was impossible to lie, so it was the Fire Elemental Elf King himself who came.
Thirty thousand years ago, the goddess of nature, the goddess of magic, and the four elements of the true gods, all of whom were true gods, engaged in a protracted war, the cause of which is no longer known. The final result was the fall of the original goddess of nature, the goddess of magic was seriously injured and fell into a long sleep, and the four elemental gods all fell.
Since then, the elemental has split, and there has been no elemental god again. The authority of the fire elemental is attributed to the king of the fire elemental in the elemental form and the king of the fire elemental elves in front of him, Salamanda, and the other elements are in a similar situation.
Elemental elves have two different states, elemental form and flesh and blood, and this is especially true of the servants of the Elven King, such as Salamanda's minions, which often appear in the form of fiery serpents.
Although he was surprised that he had summoned the Fire Elemental Elf King instead of his minions, there was something more important in front of him, and Tang Mo said loudly: "Great Elf King, I beg you to destroy the monster in front of me!"
With a void in his left hand, the crystal ball floated in front of the black vortex, and the miniature Salamanda wrapped around the crystal ball, and he replied, "Happy to help, mage." Opening his mouth and spitting out a mouthful of dragon breath, the thin flames sprayed into the black whirlpool, at the moment of contact, Tang Mo clearly heard the unwilling wail, and then he felt refreshed, as if he had wiped away the dust on his soul, and the doppelganger was like a three-year-old child in front of the elf king, and he had no power to fight back.
