Chapter 48 Knowledge by Man
Lumian had a deep understanding of Aurore's words.
When he was still wandering, he understood that he should not underestimate anyone, and some adult homeless people ended up suffering a big loss because they despised him as a child and felt that he was very weak, and some of the donors, obviously providing food with good intentions, forgot to consider the long-starved physical state of the homeless, resulting in doing something wrong.
Lumian thought seriously for a while and said:
"In this way, it's precious to be able to summon the description of the creature you want with relative precision."
"Yes." Aurel nodded with deep feeling, "The notes that contain the corresponding summoning spells are very valuable, every incantation and every description and every note on it are exchanged for life, blood or pain, the simplest example, the three-paragraph description when I summon the 'blank paper' is 'a spirit wandering in vain, a friendly creature to drive, The fragile ball that can connect with my heart', this last sentence, you want to try on your own, I don't know how many failures you have to go through to piece it together, and every failure means a lot of risk. ”
A fragile ball that can connect with my heart? Is this a description that a normal person can come up with, especially the words fragile and sphere...... Lumian asked, sneering:
"So, you bought it from someone else?"
"It's not." Auroel shook his head, and said with a somewhat bitter expression, "The 'secret man' path is different from others, from time to time he will be chased by a large amount of knowledge, he can't do it if he doesn't want to know, and he can't refuse if he can't bear it, and when he takes the potion to get promoted, this kind of 'knowledge chasing people' is even more serious."
"While most of this knowledge is of little use, there will always be some that has value, and the spell that summons the 'blank paper' is one of them."
"Indoctrination from the 'Hidden Sage'?" Lumian understood what his sister meant.
Aurore glanced at him in surprise:
"You know? The lady's teachings? ”
"Hmm." Lumien nodded.
Aurel pursed her mouth thoughtfully:
"As far as my personal experience is concerned, 'knowledge by person' does not come entirely from the indoctrination of the 'hidden sage', my so-called 'tinnitus' is indeed hearing His voice and getting the knowledge He has given, which always makes me miserable, my head is close to exploding, and I want to lose control.
"But occasionally, especially when I'm not in a good state and about to show signs of losing control, there is a hallucination that the knowledge of the whole world comes to life, chasing me in small numbers, running towards me, and I can't dodge it, and that's how the spell that summons the 'blank paper' actively breaks into my brain.
"When taking potions, about 99 percent of the cases of 'knowledge chasing people' come from 'hidden sages', and one percent are related to living knowledge."
"It's amazing, it's terrifying, it can frighten everyone in the village." Lumian sighed very pertinently, and at the same time thought about whether there was a way to solve the problem of "knowledge by people" for his sister, or to reduce its impact.
Aurel responded with a wry smile:
"It's because you've been tortured like this so often that I don't want you to step into the transcendent path, but in this situation, it's really better to be an extraordinary than an ordinary person."
In order to remind her brother of the madness and danger of the transcendent path, she pointed to her head:
"Chased by knowledge for a long time, accompanied by pain, I feel that my spirit and character have been alienated to a certain extent.
"Didn't I often tell you that I had a social phobia, but on a few occasions I was very talkative, and liked to go out and talk to the old ladies of the village, to tell stories to the children, and occasionally to go mad, and to borrow ponies from Madame Poualis to gallop into the mountains, and shout?
"Being particularly talkative is a kind of backlash that is long at home, unable to return to hometown, and depressing on the road to transcendence.
"And the occasional crazy ......"
Speaking of this, Aurore looked at Lumian and chuckled:
"You don't think it's just an exaggerated adjective, do you?"
Lumian was silent, only to feel that his sister's smile was both self-deprecating, dazed, and with unspeakable pain and struggle.
Aurel then sighed:
"At that time, I didn't even know myself."
"There should be a way around it." At this moment, Lumian deeply felt his powerlessness.
"Hopefully, let's continue." Aurel pointed to the altar, "It's easy to summon it after you have signed a contract with the summoned spirit creature, and the last sentence of the description can be changed to 'Belong to Oroel alone. Lee's contract creatures', that's accurate, isn't it? Moreover, until the contract is terminated, no one else can summon it again. ”
"There can only be one contract creature per person?" Lumien cares about this.
"That's not it, I don't know exactly what the upper limit is, but there must be more than one, especially some special sequences, well, when summoning, use the first contract creature and the second contract creature of so-and-so." Aurore told the truth, "In addition, you must also remember that summoning spirit creatures will consume your own spirituality, and the more you summon, the greater the consumption, with the spirituality of the 'hunter', I estimate that you can withstand at most one contract creature." ”
Knowing her brother's character, she further plugged the loopholes that Lumian might find:
"After each spirit creature is summoned to reality, the time it can stay is limited, the weaker the longer, you don't have to think about summoning one first, and then summoning the next one when the spirit recovers, unless you choose the very weak one, and the spirit is significantly stronger than now."
She then gave an example of "blank paper":
"If I hadn't let the 'blank paper' carry my abilities, it would have been able to stay in reality for twelve hours, and if I had shared the special nature of my eyes with it and asked it to do things for me, it would last for three hours at most, and my own spirituality would have been consumed."
Lumian, who had originally wanted to form an army of spirit creatures, was disappointed.
He thought for a moment and then asked:
"Can you only summon spirit creatures? Can only summon spirits? ”
"It's not." Auroel shook his head, "You can also summon creatures from the underworld and the mirror world that are attached to the spirit world, the real world, and the astral world, as well as some creatures from the other world or the alien planet, whether they are spirits or not, but this is very dangerous, most of the extraordinary people who try to do so die tragically, and a few mysteriously disappear, leaving only corresponding notes to prove what they have done." ”
"Can that summon something in the real world?" Lumien asked curiously.
Aurore thought for a moment and said:
"Theoretically, as long as the other person has a close relationship with the spirit world, or has reached a certain personality, he should be able to hear the call and decide for himself whether to respond or not, but such a goal is either very special or very powerful, if you still want to live well, do not experiment.
"Moreover, when the target of the summoning is not a spirit, the corresponding ritual will be more demanding, more spirituality will be required, and even a large number of sacrifices will be required, only in this way can the door of summoning be opened for non-spirit creatures to pass through.
"With the spirituality of the 'hunter', you can't even summon the 'blank paper', and if you want to try something more powerful, you can only pray to a certain god or hidden being, and for this you may have to prepare something full of spirit to sacrifice."
Lumian had roughly figured out the summoning of this kind of ritual magic, and he said to his sister:
"You're going to recite the incantation and complete the summoning?"
"How is that possible?" Aurel sneered, "How can the ritual continue after so many interruptions?" In fact, normally speaking, as long as you interrupt according to the process, you can continue from the breakpoint, but I just explained and didn't get distracted to do the corresponding things. ”
You probably forgot...... Lumian muttered in his heart, but didn't dare to say it.
Aurel then added:
"But I do have to hold a summoning ceremony, on the one hand, to show you the whole process, and on the other hand, to ask for help."
"Help?" Lumien asked, confused.
Summon powerful spirit creatures to help?
Aurore explains:
"Among the countless spirit creatures, there are very few who can act as messengers, private messengers, well, messengers based on special contracts that can be summoned by others.
"For example, if I had a contract messenger, someone in Trier could summon it and give it the letter that had been written, and it would immediately pass through the spirit realm and deliver it to me.
"Because of the special connection of the spirit world and the contract, it only takes a second or two to complete the task of sending the message."
"It's amazing, as fast as a telegram." Lumian sighed heartily.
The thought that crossed his mind was:
I want one too!
"Don't you think about it." Aurore saw through his thoughts, "It's very difficult to summon messengers, unless you directly get the accurate spell, it is impossible to try it on your own, and the accurate spell can only be mastered by a few special sequences, and you sister and I don't have any." ”
Lumian was disappointed for a moment, and then asked:
"Are you going to summon a messenger and write to him for help?"
"Hmm." Aurel nodded, "She's one of the furthest of us on the transcendent path, with her own messenger, and I don't expect her to save me, but she should be able to give me some advice." ”
I'm afraid it's hard, the mysterious lady said that we can only rely on ourselves...... Lumian asked curiously:
"We? Is that your pen pals? ”
Aurel nodded first, then asked in confusion:
"When did I mention a pen pal to you?"
"Last time, no, last time loop." Lumian replied honestly.
"Okay." Aurel covered her forehead, "Actually, it is a mutual aid organization that those of us who can't go back to our hometown have slowly established, and we rely on letters to communicate on a daily basis, share knowledge, solve problems, and communicate regularly in small gatherings or by messengers. She is the vice president of our organization, one of the initiators, codenamed 'Hela'. ”
"Codename?" Lumian was a little confused.
Aurel gave an "um" sound:
"In the organization, everyone uses code names, does not reveal their real names, and emphasizes that they are pen names when writing letters, so as not to be discovered by the authorities."
"What's your code name?" Lumian was curious about this.
Aurel was silent for a moment, and replied with a little embarrassment:
"'Muggles.'"
"What do you mean?" Lumien was puzzled.
Oroel replied with a faint look in her eyes:
"Ordinary people without supernatural abilities."
Lumian knew that his sister wanted to be an ordinary person living in her hometown, so she hurriedly changed the topic:
"What's your organization's name?"
Auror's expression was complicated:
"Originally, everyone wanted to choose a high-grade name, but considering that they write letters every day, and a name that is too conspicuous will attract the attention of certain forces, so I finally decided on a name that looks like an animal lover."
"What is it?" Lumien asked.
Aurore replied a little embarrassedly:
"Curly Baboon Workshop."
PS: I talk about ritual magic in detail because the second part will use a lot, after all, you have to pray to the gods for gifts and gain power, which is a new system that I mentioned, and there will soon be things involving spiritual creatures and contracts in the later part.
PS2: Thank you Nahida for your attention and tip the Silver Alliance
