Chapter 545: Magical Summoning, Higher Talent
The letter describes his experience in detail.
"Alan was my apprentice. He is extremely gifted and is my most admired disciple. He had a brave heart, full of justice and wisdom, and was a hero of the world. I can't tolerate him getting hurt. β
"I have to keep him safe, otherwise...... I'd rather pay it back with my own life! β
"I can't give up. I had to save his life. β
Li Ang raised his eyebrows: "What do you want to do?" β
This old guy is really scary, obviously telling a story, but it makes people feel a strong smell of blood coming to their nostrils, as if they are in hell, suffocating.
The old man's eyes became fierce: "As long as he is alive!" I will send a powerful messenger to find him. β
What is a demon? Is it a creature summoned by a magician with his magic? Leon thought to himself.
"The number of demons is not fixed. Each one has a lot of strength. The old man continued: "Of course, the more powerful the demon, the more mana needs to be consumed, and the longer it will be needed. β
"So what?"
"I hope you can help me." The old man looked at Li Ang's eyes seriously: "Although you don't have any combat power, you are very keen on mental control. If I give it to you, you can help me find Alan. β
Leon frowned: "Why me?" Shouldn't it be someone else? Or have you already decided who is the best demon for you? β
The old man smiled faintly: "Not bad." I've been sure you're the best fit for me. β
Leon was silent for a moment: "You want me to help you find Alan?" But you know, I'm in an awkward position right now. β
"No matter what choice you make, it will be a good ending for you, for me, and even for the entire Kingdom of Katari."
The old man looked at Li Ang meaningfully: "I don't believe you will refuse. β
He stretched out his finger and pointed to the door: "Go ahead, get out of that room, there is someone waiting outside to receive you, she is a good priest and will lead you through this mission." Remember, don't play tricks. You can't escape. β
Leon shrugged his shoulders and walked to the door, opening it to find that the interior of the room was completely different from the outside.
A faint aroma wafts through the air, various oil paintings hang on the walls, and many floating white balls of light hang from the roof, illuminating the surrounding space. In the center of the room was a long table, flanked by four or five young men and women.
They wore uniform gray-blue uniforms with bronze insignia embroidered on their chests representing the school's coat of arms. Silver bracers are worn on both left and right arms, and the sleeves are rolled up to the crooks of the elbows, revealing delicate metal rings.
In addition, several people also carried swords around their waists, their bodies bowed slightly, and they looked ahead, looking at the enemy at any time.
Leon looked at them for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Are you sure that what I want to see is your demon?" β
Several young men looked at each other, puzzled expressions on their faces. They didn't understand what the new mentor was asking.
The old man sitting at the head coughed and explained, "They are all my apprentices, and they are specially responsible for receiving you. Please come with me. β
With that, he turned and walked into the study.
Leon pursed his lips and quickly chased after him.
The group walked through a secluded corridor, skirted the spacious courtyard, and finally stopped at the door of the study. The old man knocked on the door and waited a few seconds before opening it.
Leon glanced up and scanned the room, revealing that the dΓ©cor was quite classical, with a wooden office chair near the window, a sand table on one side, and a thick pile of documents on the edge of the table on the other.
"These are the materials I need for my daily work." The old man gave a brief introduction and motioned for Li Ang to sit down first.
Immediately, he nodded to the apprentices standing outside the door, and the apprentices picked up the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table, quickly spread them out, and began to grind.
Leon didn't move. The old man sat down on the sofa like a master.
"My name is Arthur Alcott, and I'm your mentor." The old man said, "I invite you to come today, I have two things to tell you. β
"First things first. You may not be interested in anything like magic, but you should have heard about evil beings such as knights and lichs. β
"Hmm." Li Ang replied casually, his spirit had been tempered by the power of the [Night Apostle], and his resistance to all kinds of strange things had been greatly improved, and he was not afraid of evil spirits and ghosts at all.
Arthur paused for a moment and continued, "Knights are a profession born in the world, their ancestors died in ancient wars, and their souls returned to the underworld to gain supernatural power and become powerful knights. β
Leon suddenly realized that the knight's power came from the underworld, and he was a group of souls wandering in the void. It is said that knights can harness the shadows, wield the authority of death, and even drive away dead bodies.
Arthur continued: "On top of magic, there is a higher level of witchcraft. There are three levels of witchcraft, the lowest of which is the lich, which is usually formed by the condensation of dead spirits. The High Lich is an undead monarch with an immortal body. β
Li Ang nodded: "Sounds pretty powerful." β
Arthur sighed, "Unfortunately, both the Lich and the Undead Monarch are too dangerous, and if they get out of control, they will bring disaster to the Katari." β
"So your mission is to destroy those dangerous lichs and undead monarchs?" Li Ang asked curiously.
"It's not all." Arthur said, "Lichs are a very special kind of being, they are strong and tough in body and weak in soul. However, once they are killed, they will cause the lich's residual resentment after death, forming a strong curse that will cause great disaster. Therefore, the task of the knights is to guard the Katari. β
Leon touched his chin, "In that case, the threat of the Lich is not as serious as that of the Undead Sovereign." β
Arthur shook his head: "You can't compare like that, the lich is just a special case. The strength of the Undead Monarch far surpasses that of the Lich. If sacrifices are not counted, the Undead Monarch can even destroy the Katari! β
Leon frowned: "Then you still have to collect the power of faith?" β
"The power of faith?" Arthur was stunned, then laughed dumbly: "You misunderstood." We just need to hold on to Katari and not let it be taken over by some undead monarch. As for the power of faith, it can only be collected by other means. β
"Aren't you going to take me to Edelman?" Leon urged, "Lead the way." β
Arthur hesitated: "Since you insist on seeing and seeing, then let's go." β
Leon followed him to the staircase, where he met two apprentices, who greeted him politely and stepped aside respectfully.
