Things may be more troublesome than I understand, at least looking at Liqi's appearance of being ready for battle, I know that the current situation is not simple.

In Curt's memory, it was a long time ago that Lizzie expressed a sense of urgency—it was probably when she was at war with the Ultramarine Faction on the Old Big 6. Ever since she came to Catrice, she has always been bored and lazy, even when studying spells, she looks weak.

- He didn't look at the huge plants with a strange look like he did now, and tried to touch the roots of the plants that had devoured the lampposts with his hands.

"Wait, what do you want to do!"

When she felt that something was wrong with Liqi's behavior, it was too late for Curt to stop her. The moment she touched the roots of those plants, the white leaves cracked like cocoons, and the unwrapped silk threads wrapped around her fingers like poisonous snakes.

"Hmm!"

The girl let out a small cry of sorrow, and then pulled her hand out of the silk thread with all her might. But the place touched by the white silk was still damaged by Yan zhòng, as if it was twisted by steel, the skin was torn apart, and the bones were crushed with a small cracking sound.

"Damn, it looks like these things are similar to man-eating flowers, the kind of things that devour objects that come close to them. She took two steps back, then watched as the white silk that attacked her slowly retracted back into the trunk, "Okay...... This is the effect of a spell, and there may be a summoning disaster nearby. ”

She puffed up as she watched the white plants growing along her path, stretching out from under the streetlights, apparently taking the source of magic inside the appliances as their roots. Now they are like extremely aggressive dryad creatures, with a cold killing intent hidden behind the silence.

"Do you know about the 'Rekul Incident'? The situation is somewhat similar to that time - the same disasters caused by anomalous spells, all of which have a great impact on the surrounding environment. Lizzie waited for her injured body to recover. Then he said casually to Curt.

Curt is aware of the existence of the summoning disaster, but the relevant cases are not well understood. Although history books record important events, this is not the case with some information that is only covered by some obscure professions, and it rarely appears in historical records that ordinary people can understand.

"I'm sorry, I don't learn history very well. So please don't sell it, just talk about it briefly. Curt smiled bitterly a little helplessly, and could only truthfully explain that he didn't know, "Also, although the physical damage will recover soon, you can't mess around at will." ”

Look at Lizzy's arms crumbled by white silk. He felt that he really couldn't understand Lizzie's thoughts sometimes, probably because she was numb to death, and she didn't care more and more about the damage to her body. Fortunately, because she has been staying in the academy recently, her behavior of "playing dead" has been somewhat restrained. Presumably because he doesn't want to cause trouble to the people around him.

"The second book in the third shelf in the study is "Fundamentals of Modern Summoning", which I went to ask you to buy from the used bookstore in Faense on Central Street a year and three months ago. Since you can't sleep at night, don't hang out on the streets, and don't dwell on the basics of magic. Usually read more useful books, and only when you face enemies that cannot be solved directly with strength will you have an advantage...."

However, Lizzie didn't pay attention to Curt's reminder, she shook her hand expressionlessly, and began to nag Curt to preach.

"Stop, stop, stop this problem first, and you can complain no matter how you go back. Now that time is pressing, please pick and choose the key points. Curt knew how the usually quiet little man would be grumbling, and quickly interrupted her tirade. Trying to steer the conversation on track.

He still remembered the book, but he didn't remember it anymore.

Published in Fundamentals of Modern Summoning, p. 18, Chapter 1, Overview of Risks, The Azinkur Incident. Lizzie let out a sigh of relief, scratching her head, "This is an event that is mentioned in recent summoning textbooks. It is generally used as a warning to apprentices who are new to the subject. ”

Spells are risky, and the risks of summoning spells are especially terrifying - it took Lizzie some time to organize the language. Try to make this information simple and easy to understand.

The so-called "summoning disaster" is, as its literal meaning suggests, a variety of disasters of different sizes caused by the uncontrolled summoning spell. Exactly. The term is often used to refer specifically to failed summoning spells that attempt to establish a connection with the Alien - these "failures" often turn out to be some kind of disaster.

One of the most representative of these is a major disaster known as the "Rykul Event", which is also the first time that the "Summoning Disaster" has appeared in a written record.

The reason for the incident is simple, it is nothing more than a failed spell - on the thirteenth day of the frostfall month in the year 1o92 of the Holy Calendar, a group of magicians successfully cast a spell in a village in the Azykur region at the southern tip of the empire. The spell connected them to a previously unobserved "foreign state" and summoned a living creature known as the "Shining Light".

This was the time it was confirmed by investigators after the incident was resolved, and it was first revealed and reported to the Spell Administration on the twelfth day of the Grain Seed Month, almost three months after the disaster was born, and during that time, the disaster had expanded to a very dangerous level.

The weather is getting warmer, and the residents of the Rykul region are feeling that this spring is a little different from what it used to be. All the plants are dry, and they don't have the vitality of spring. Plants that are supposed to sprout either have a few yellowish leaves or only bare treetops.

The migratory birds that were supposed to return to the forest did not appear for some reason, and not only that, but most of the animals that inhabit the area have disappeared as if sensing something.

If that's all there is to it, then the residents will only think that the capricious weather is causing them to be abnormal. But after a few more days, when a foul smell was faintly revealed in the air, and the well water became inexplicably bitter, they could not sit still.

Concerned about their own safety, the residents immediately reported the news to the upper echelons, hoping that the bureaucrats would solve the problems. Within a few days, the news was forwarded to the Spell Administration by someone, who asked them to send several investigators to investigate the cause of the phenomenon.

"Let's skip the process of the intermediate investigation and talk about the results directly - after all, the book only mentions this term, and does not tell all the causes and consequences. Lizzie wasn't going to go into all the details of the investigators, or it would take a lot of time.

After five days of investigation and analysis, the investigators finally found the heart of the problem - the abandoned house built in the woods. The vegetation in the surrounding woods had long since withered and twisted and tangled under the influence of unknown forces, and the nearby land had even turned into gray sand.

Curt didn't know much about this kind of knowledge, and he didn't even understand some of the terms. But the thought of it would be a bad idea to let Lizzie start a tirade just to satisfy a little curiosity. So he chose to remain silent, and Lizzie, who didn't notice this, continued.

Before they stepped into the abandoned house, they could feel a distinctly different atmosphere from the one they knew about the environment. According to their later accounts, the feeling was quite uncomfortable, and it could be said that "the power in the body is constantly being withdrawn from the body".

After some hard work, they finally found the real yàn personnel wrapped in strange crystals in the basement of the abandoned house, they had been dead on a biological level for a long time, their bodies had turned into dried corpses, but there was still a spreading magic power from them to keep the summoning ritual going.

It is said that at the same time, they also found their actual notes, and there is no detailed record of their contents. Official records describe that the Authority's investigators completely destroyed every qiē of the place as they left, and it appears to contain the actual notebook.

The world itself has a self-purifying effect, and influences from foreign countries will eventually be neutralized and gradually covered by the power of the world itself. For now, at least, the environment of the Rykul region is completely unaffected by the Summoning Disaster, which has become one of the most inconspicuous areas within the empire's territory.

"All in all, this event is described in most books as one of the earliest summoning disaster cases, so if you're interested in learning all about it, check it out for yourself. Not just the Summoning School, most of the Wizardry Academies use it as a negative example to warn their apprentices not to act recklessly. ”

Liqi sighed softly, knowing how harsh the environmental damage of the summoned disaster was, she could only watch as the plants grew indiscriminately all over the area. The magic in the vicinity was almost completely distorted, and she had no way of finding the source of the situation.

As if unhappy with her own powerlessness, she lowered her head and said, "The phenomenon that arose at that time was later called 'alien erosion,' which was used to encapsulate an environment like this, which was affected by external factors...... This is probably one of the rarest hazards of the Summoning Disaster. ”

Nowadays, the management of sorcerers is becoming more and more standardized, and the casting and research of summoning spells need to go through layers of review and strict supervision. As a result, summoning disasters are becoming less and less common, and most of them are just people who cast summoning spells and are killed by violent foreign visitors.

Therefore, staring at the scene of "alien erosion" that appeared in front of her, Lizzie couldn't help but fall into silence, and if it was really better to hear than to see, the crazy summoning spell finally brought not the connection that the caster wanted, but an anomaly that made all the magicians tremble.

Everyone says "Spells are risky, cast them with caution" - even the most lame apprentice knows that spells are not toys, but powerful knowledge.

With power comes danger. (To be continued)
