Chapter 35: Summoning
Based on the knowledge stored in the cup, Summer Night roughly knew how the witch died after her magic was drained.
Just now Luca mentioned "summoning", and Summer Night knew that it was referring to the witch who died of depletion of her magic power, and all kinds of changes that happened before she died.
Each witch's mutation is different, and some are more violent: for example, like Grady, she transforms into a non-human monster; or like a magic bomb, "bang" to explode; There are even the most tricky ones, which will open up the realm of different space and suck all the people and things in a radius of hundreds of meters around them......
But there are also relatively mild ones. For example, open a dimensional rift, burrow into it by itself, and disappear without a trace; Or it can be transformed into a beautiful and strange plant accompanied by a burst of music, and the plant will go through the whole process from growth to withering and dying at a very fast speed, and in the end, only a cup remains, left alone in place.
According to the research of scholars among witches, some of these seemingly different summons actually have similarities with each other, and based on these similarities, they have categorized the mutations and associated them with the names of the pillars of the witch's contract.
For example, Grady, because he turned into a three-headed and two-winged monster before he died, is classified as the summoning of the "Asmodeus" column. As for why the "three heads and two wings" belong to the "Asmode" column, Summer Night does not know.
I don't know whether to say lucky or unlucky, the day after the summer night crossed into this world, I witnessed the whole process of the calling.
Although she knew about the calling, "knowing" and "seeing it with her own eyes" were two different things.
Now she finally has an intuitive feeling, and her feeling is-
So so.
Although the monster looked disgusting, its strength was just like that, and it didn't take long for Luca to lose his temper at all after being beaten by a few people.
It's really ...... So so.
It's like the cup that Grady left behind, ordinary, and after today's pass, I'm afraid it will be forgotten.
At least the story you're telling is interesting, much more interesting than you, Summer Night thought to herself.
I'll remember it so that all the effort you put into it before you die isn't completely in vain.
"Luca." She stepped forward, "Mission over?" β
"Well, this time it went well." Luca was half-crouched on the ground, as if searching for something, and when Summer Night walked by, she just stood up, clutching a few runes that writhed like living creatures.
It was the Witch Contract.
When the witch's cup is removed, the witch contract she has signed is "precipitated" from her body, i.e., it is re-sealed in its pre-signed state - of course, it is often necessary to reencapsulate them with crystals for ease of use.
By Luca's side, Alyssa had condensed a transparent ice box in her palm, Luca stretched out her hand and threw the runes in her hand into the ice box, those living things seemed to be runes and wanted to take the opportunity to escape, Alyssa had already closed the lid quickly, they hit the ice wall headlong, the seemingly fragile ice wall did not move at all, and the contract had to stay in the box obediently.
"In order to escape the debt, Grady actually signed a full four contracts for fighting." Seeing that Summer Night's eyes fell on the witch contract, Luca said unabashedly, "...... these contracts In addition, her cups are sold, and a lot of debts should be recovered, and we can also look forward to the commission of this order. Speaking of which, this mission is so easy, mainly due to your credit. β
"So I can get a share of the commission?" Summer Night joked.
Luca shook her head apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't do this according to company regulations." However, I can give you my own commission. β
"No, you don't." Xia Ye waved his hand again and again, "Actually, I just wanted to ask you for a small favor, even if it was my reward this time." β
Luca didn't ask what Xia Ye's "little favor" was at all, so she nodded and agreed: "No problem, I also have a task, I want to ask if you are interested......"
Before she could finish speaking, Alyssa's voice suddenly interjected: "Lu, Ka, team, captain, the ice is about to meltβ"
The purple-haired girl had an impatient expression, and although the ice box in her hand showed no signs of melting, Luca nodded at her, "We'll leave right away." β
"I'm sorry......" she said back to Summer Night.
"It's okay."
Summer Night showed an understanding sweet smile, and saw Alyssa squeak the ice box in her hand, "How about tomorrow morning?" We'll talk in more detail tomorrow or in the morning. β
"Okay." Luca readily agreed, "What's the address?" β
"I'm not familiar with this place, you can do it."
"Then meet here." Luca pulled out a sticky note and pen from one of her many small pockets, quickly jotted down an address, and handed it to Summer Night.
Summer Night glanced at it, of course she didn't know where it was, but it didn't matter, she could ask Lillian later.
"See you tomorrow, then."
With that, Luca sped off from the terrace with the team.
Summer Night looked at the other party's back thoughtfully, and after about ten seconds, she turned around and asked, "Lilian, what time is it?" β
"Uh...... Six o'clock. β
"It's so late?" Xia Ye frowned slightly: "Originally, I had to buy a lot of things today, but I was disturbed by that guy, it seems that I can't afford to come." β
"We can come out early tomorrow morning......"
"I'll make an appointment with Luca tomorrow morning." Summer Night said.
"Oh, yes." Lilian's expression was a little lost, but then she smiled again: "Tomorrow afternoon, then?" β
Summer Night thought about it and agreed to Lilian's arrangement: "Well, let's come out tomorrow afternoon to buy and buy." β
"Yay!"
"But for now, let's get the clothes done first, Lillian, help me pick out a few sets." Summer Night said that she really didn't want to pick out clothes anymore after trying on clothes and vomiting.
"Okay, then this set, this set, this set, this set, and ......"
Although Summer Night said that she could pick a few sets at random, Lilian obviously had a choice in her heart, and after a while, more than two dozen dresses were neatly hung on another shelf by her and pushed in front of Victoria.
"Check out, boss!"
Despite such a big deal, Victoria didn't seem to care at all, she simply counted the number of dresses, mentally calculated, and said: "Twenty-three sets, the original price is 110 moles, and three discounts are 33 moles, round up, and settle the bill." β
With so many clothes, even if the original price is calculated, there are only more than 100 moles in total, and Xia Ye once again confirmed the fact that 1 moar is "very valuable", and at the same time, he once again realized how expensive the two contracts on his body were.
6400 plus 2400 equals 8800 moles, enough to buy more than 5,000 sets of clothes...... Summer Night suspects that she will never be able to wear so many clothes in her life.
While she thought about these messy questions, she paid 33 moles to Victoria. The number on the wrist has also changed from -2630 to -2663.
"It's still the old way, these clothes are packed and sent directly to the address where I live." Lillian said to Victoria.
"No problem."
Seeing that the twists and turns of the clothes shopping operation finally came to a successful end, Summer Night suddenly remembered a question that must be confirmed with Victoria.
She took the Lolita dress she was wearing, walked up to Victoria, and asked, "Is it true that Gredy said that the fabric of this dress is only used in Uptown?" β
Victoria didn't look at the dress in her hand, but looked at the summer night from head to toe again.
"It's true." "When I saw you," she said, "I saw it at first sight. That's why I joked that Lillian wouldn't have tricked the uptown lady into coming. β
"So, do you think I'm from Uptown?" Summer Night asked a little nervously, this is related to the origin of the original host, and it is likely to be related to the whereabouts of her head.
But Victoria shook her head slowly: "No, I don't think so. β
"Why?"
"Because as far as I know, there's no guy like you in Uptown." The blonde witch stared sharply at Summer Night, "Not in the past, and probably not now." β
Xia Ye ignored the other party's eyes and continued to ask curiously, "What kind of guy do you think I am?" β
"Dangerous elements with bad personalities." Victoria replied.
"There's no shortage of people with bad personalities in Uptown, and there are a few dangerous people, but as far as I know, there are no dangerous people like you β with bad personalities."
