Deep in the dark, damp cavern, the darkness is lit up by a little candlelight.

In the candlelight, Orochimaru was silently reading the Book of Necromancy in his hand, and a huge black cloth bag was placed on the table in front of him.

The Necronomicon in his hand has been read more than a dozen times, but Orochimaru still loves this book, and he will take it out and read it whenever he has free time.

After reading it more than a dozen times, Orochimaru also has a certain understanding of the content of the Book of Necromancy.

First of all, the content recorded in the Necronomicon is ambiguous and incomplete, and many of the introductions are not followed by relevant content.

This shows that the Necronomicon in his possession is likely to be only a fragment, and there are other Necronomicon books.

Secondly, in addition to introducing the alien gods known as the Old Rulers and some strange creatures, the Necronomicon also contains some spells called "magic".

The written text of these spells is not something that Orochimaru can understand, but judging from the functions described in the book, it seems to be similar to the ninjutsu used by ninjas today.

The main of the magic spells is elemental magic.

Elemental magic is mainly divided into four elemental attributes, which correspond to the four attributes of the old rulers, fire elemental magic, wind elemental magic, water elemental magic, and earth elemental magic.

To use these elemental spells, the user is required to chant a magic spell in order to release the corresponding element.

This is very similar to the ninja, except that the ninja performs the escape technique by manually sealing it.

And the written words of these magic spells have long been lost, and Orochimaru, who has been reading ancient books all year round, is also the first time to see this kind of writing, so these magic spells are completely useless at present.

Even if it were useful, Orochimaru wouldn't waste time researching what these ninjas could do.

What interests Orochimaru more is summoning magic.

Summoning magic is the summoning of creatures from other dimensions to the summoner's space, which is similar to spiritism in the end.

But if you look closely, you will still find the difference between summoning magic and spiritism.

There are two kinds of spiritism, one is to sign a blood contract with the psychic beast, and then you can summon the psychic beast when needed.

The other is non-blood pact spiritism, which can only summon dead objects, and simply teleport things that are placed elsewhere.

Summoning magic, on the other hand, can only summon living creatures.

This has the advantage of being able to forcibly summon creatures that have never met before, regardless of whether they have signed a contract or not.

The downside is that it is impossible to determine whether the summoned thing is hostile to the summoner, and it is possible that the summoner itself will be attacked by the summon to death.

This reminded Orochimaru of his unruly psychic beast Ten Thousand Snakes, who dared to speak disrespectfully to himself when he had the Blood Contract.

As for the creatures that can be summoned, there are many kinds of creatures, and most of the creatures that exist in time and space have a high probability of being able to summon them as long as the summoning method is correct.

Even the Old Dominators!

In terms of summoning methods, summoning magic is varied.

Most summoning spells require some magic arrays with complex spells written, and the chanting of summoning spells to make it possible to call them to the present world.

Some powerful beings also need sacrifices to summon, and if these powerful beings are not satisfied with the sacrifices, they will even directly eat the summoner himself.

In addition, there are also some beings that can only be summoned with special magic items.

For example, the Book of Necronomicon mentions a creature named Baiaki.

Baiaki, the servant of Hasta the Unspeakable to whom the Wind belongs, is a hybrid creature resembling a raven, a vulture, an ant, and a rotting human corpse.

One of their large wings can fly around the universe at will, and its back can seat a person, one person at a time.

They are summoned by blowing a special whistle made of meteorite in the open night sky.

This whistle emits a sound that can only be heard by Baiaki, summoning distant Baiaki to become the summoner's mount.

Of course, there is only one way to get a Baiaki to work for you, and if you choose to become a servant of Hasta the Unspeakable, you may be able to get a Baiaki mount.

This method of using the minion relationship to summon superiors and subordinates is also considered one of the summoning magics.

Due to the inability to master the magic spells required for summoning and the complete Alien God servant relationship, among the three main summoning methods, Orochimaru's favorite is to use special magic items to summon.

As long as you master the magic items and how to use them correctly, you can summon them successfully, which is the only way to summon them over time.

And most importantly, Orochimaru has now mastered an important magic item.

That's the Silver Key!

According to the Necronomicon, the Silver Key can open the door to truth and see one of the incarnations of the all-knowing and all-powerful One, the primeval Eternal!

Undoubtedly, this is also a magic item suitable for summoning magic.

However, this is not the only magic item that Orochimaru has seen.

On the night he fled from Konoha Village, Orochimaru remembered what happened that day vividly.

The man in the woods threw out a jet-black metal box, from which a swollen bat appeared like smoke.

The power that was far beyond imagination and the semi-material body, it couldn't even be described as a living thing, and the fear this thing brought to Orochimaru is still unforgettable.

Orochimaru had never seen anything like this, whether it was a box capable of summoning a swollen bat from inside or the swollen bat itself.

This is a power that goes far beyond the realm of ninja cognition! It's an ancient power from the endless old days!

If it weren't for the fact that this force was so afraid of light, Orochimaru wouldn't even know where he would be swallowed by that dark smoke.

So Orochimaru is sure that the box is a magic item!

Orochimaru has been cultivating in Konoha Village for many years, and he has never heard of such a strange magic prop, so this magic prop should be in the hands of someone, and Konoha Village does not know about its existence.

And now he knew that this thing existed, and even knew that it was one of the two who existed in the woods at the time who owned it.

This means that as long as you can know the identity of one of the people hiding in the woods at that time, you will be able to know who this powerful magic item is.

Then you can take this unknown magic item yourself!

Thinking of this, the corners of Orochimaru's mouth went up, revealing a wicked smile.

"If I'm not mistaken, it's the Inuzuka family's training ground."

"Konoha Village..."

"I'll be back."

The deep words are mixed with a hint of laughter, bringing people infinite coolness.

"Lord Orochimaru, I have brought all the experimental materials you need."

Outside the cave, a woman's voice rang out, and there was a slight noise behind her, including the uneven voices of men, women, and children.

"Well done, Red Lotus, bring them all in."

The red lotus at the entrance of the cave heard the compliment from Lord Orochimaru, and a smile appeared on her face.
