Chapter 49: True Meditation

Curly Baboon Research Society? If it weren't for the fact that her sister wasn't in a good mood, Lumian would have laughed out loud.

But even if he controlled his laughter, he couldn't help but say:

"Those who know understand that you are studying curly baboons, and those who don't know think that a group of curly baboons are doing research."

Of course, he was just joking, because the word "research" is in the passive voice.

Aurel gave him a blank look:

"We ourselves often joke that a bunch of curly-haired baboons are being studied."

Seeing that his sister was in a better state, Lumian turned to ask:

"Are the members of your research group extraordinary?"

"Not exactly." Aurel replied briefly, "But there are gatherings that ordinary people can't attend. ”

She didn't say why she couldn't attend.

"Who is the president? How many vice presidents are there? Lumian asked.

"Are you checking your household register?" Aurel replied angrily.

"Huh?" Lumien was confused.

In fact, he probably guessed that his sister's "small book that records the situation of family members" refers to the specific situation of the "Curly Baboon Research Association", which means that he doesn't like to inquire in too much detail.

Aurel puffed out his mouth, spat out, and said:

"The president's code name is 'Gandalf', and there are five vice presidents in total.

"Alright, I'm going to summon Hela's messenger."

Lumian nodded at first, and then became a little puzzled:

"Aurel, uh, sister, didn't you say you only know the code name 'Hela', and don't know what her name is? How else does this summon her messengers? ”

He remembered that his sister had just said that changing the last paragraph of the summoning spell to "a messenger that belongs only to so-and-so" would point to the target creature very accurately, but now he didn't know who "so-and-so" was.

"Good." Aurel praised, "You can find that the problem is excellent learning quality, so let's put it this way, it doesn't matter what name you use when you sign a contract with a spirit creature, the contract will automatically extract a little real breath from you, so that the two parties can have a relationship, however, remember, you can only use the name written when you signed the contract later, and changing it to your real name will be invalid." ”

Lumian pondered carefully:

"I see, the key is breath and connection, the name when signing the contract is only equivalent to the spell that will be used in subsequent summons, it doesn't matter what you write."

"Yes." Aurore nodded slightly.

Lumian suddenly laughed:

"Is there such a situation, hypothetically, I said hypothetically, my sister obtained the exact spell and summoned a messenger to Aurel. A contract was signed with it in Lee's name, and after that, because you loved my brother, that is, me, and taught me that spell, I succeeded in summoning another messenger, but when signing the contract, it was fun for a while, and I also used Aurel. Lee's name to sign.

"Then the question arises, with 'Owning Oroel. Which of Lee's Messengers' will be summoned by this description? ”

Aurel's face turned blue when he heard this:

"I don't have a messenger, how do I know!"

She exhaled, calmed down, and said as she pondered:

Compared to ordinary contract creatures that can only be summoned by themselves, couriers that can be summoned by others are indeed prone to this kind of problem, but because I don't have a courier, I'm not sure if there is a special mechanism to circumvent similar errors, so I can only try to do an analysis with my knowledge:

"One, there are very few people who have messengers, and the probability of having the same name is almost negligible.

"Second, if you really want to have the same name, you can put an item with the breath of the messenger owner in the summoning ceremony and use it to lock it accurately.

"Three, you really have to be afraid of duplicate names, you can make the name longer when you sign the contract, for example, Lumian. Torres. Alai. Lanloth. Arthur. Gelman. Jack sparrow. Lee, there shouldn't be duplicate names in this way. ”

"But it's likely that I forgot the name just after signing the contract, it's too hard to remember." Lumian muttered, "Also, why did you add the name of a pirate hunter and a great adventurer?" ”

"Because I like it, Forthth. Ms. Wall's Adventurer series of novels is too classic. "Aurel is right.

She turned around and straightened the altar, ready for the official invocation ceremony.

At this time, Lumian thought of something and hurriedly shouted:

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Aurel looked back, dazed.

Lumian asked solemnly:

"Is the Messenger an outsider?"

"......" Aurel first had a question mark on her face, not understanding what her brother meant, but quickly figured out what the problem was.

She pondered and asked rhetorically:

"You mean, when a messenger as an outsider comes to Kordu, he gets stuck in a loop and never gets to leave?"

Without waiting for Lumian to answer, Aurore had a new speculation:

"No, it's going to be more serious, it's a contract creature, and when you get the letter, you will immediately go to 'Hela', which is equivalent to breaking away from Kordu, and then it will be restarted.

"After that, it left again and again because of instinct, and we restarted again and again, and there was no time to investigate the crux of the cycle."

Lumian couldn't help but imagine the scene her sister described:

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar bedroom, and then I opened my eyes, and I saw the familiar bedroom, and then I opened my eyes again, and I saw the familiar bedroom...... This action is repeated countless times, and the root of it all is that a messenger is in a hurry to "go home".

Aurel raised her hand and covered her forehead:

"I can't even imagine what kind of changes will happen......"

After sighing, she analyzed with a straight face:

"As it stands, the departure of living things from Kordu and the surrounding area causes the circulation to restart, while inanimate matter does not touch the limit, as evidenced by the telegram that was taken and the letter that was sent.

"If that is the case, the spirit will certainly not be able to summon the messenger either."

Hearing this, Lumian suddenly figured out why the little blue book could keep the state of being cut out of words.

The cut note left the village of Koldu, out of this cycle, no longer affected, will not return, and the little blue book will naturally not be able to return to its original state!

He told his sister about this speculation, and finally said:

"The problem with the little blue book is solved, but how did the letter get sent?

"You can't send it away when it's looping, and as soon as the messenger leaves Kordu, it will cause it to restart, and if it's before the cycle, I'm not impressed at all, what about you?"

"Neither do I." Aurore thought for a few seconds, then laughed and scolded, "You idiot, you almost led me to think crookedly, it's easy to send a letter in a loop!" ”

"Huh?" Lumian looked at his clever sister.

Aurel laughed:

"You don't need a postman to send a letter, and you don't need to hire a messenger.

"When we find something unusual and don't want to alarm those who may have a problem, the best option is to find a wooden box, put the made distress letter in it, seal it, and then throw the wooden box into the river outside the village, let it float downstream naturally, and wait for people from other villages and even Daliege to pick it up and help us send it to the authorities.

"As you said, we confirmed in the last cycle that the cycle contains a small part of the river and can be reached."

"That's right!" Lumian snapped his palms together.

He thought of another question:

"Will the fish in the river cause a restart?"

"Probably not." Aurore thought for a moment, "These unintelligent creatures are very sensitive to invisible restrictions, or rather, more susceptible to the invisible, and they will most likely instinctively not go near places that might cause them to restart. ”

"What about your 'blank slate'? By twelve hours, it had to leave the real world. Lumien feels like it's going to restart the cycle as well.

Aurore looked around, thought and said:

"I suspect that the cycle encompasses not only the village of Kordu and the surrounding mountains, but also the area where this place and all the people here correspond in the spirit realm.

"You shouldn't know that the natural interaction between the spirit world and reality is actually quite large, and if you don't include the corresponding spirit world, it may be restarted every once in a while, and it will be restarted every other moment, but this is obviously not the case now.

"As my contract creature, the 'White Paper' has a direct connection with Kordu Village, and the spiritual realm it travels in is most likely also included."

I still don't know enough about the occult...... Lumian didn't ask any more.

Auroel demonstrated the flow of ritual magic once more, removing the spiritual wall.

In the invisible wind that suddenly blew, she said to Lumien:

"Now that it's completely dark, I'll teach you real meditation and how to turn on your vision."

"Uh-huh." Lumian said he was listening.

Aurel explains:

"You've already mastered the first half of meditation, and we'll start with the second half.

"When you imagine the sun, gather your spirit, and enter a relatively calm state, let your head empty slightly, sketch a thing that does not exist in reality to replace the sun, keep outlining, keep repeating, until your body and mind are at peace, and your mind has a feeling of floating."

"Something that doesn't exist in reality?" Lumian didn't quite understand.

Aurore took out a pen and paper and drew a few casually:

"Look, is there anything like this in reality?"

It's a very abstract thing on paper, like a round ball with eyes and a cross on the face.

"Aren't you going to draw it? This painting is in reality. Lumian felt that her sister's explanation was not quite right.

"What is in the picture and what is imagined is not reality." Aurore rolled her eyes.

If you are a teacher for your younger brother, you have to suffer from this kind of anger from time to time.

Lumian let out an "oh":

"Then I'll try it with your picture."

He pulled over the chair and sat down, leaning back in his chair to concentrate.

The crimson sun quickly drew into his mind, making him gradually calm.

After a while, because it was reality, he didn't hear the terrifying, mysterious voice, and calmly replaced the sun in meditation with the pattern that his sister had drawn casually.

The round, eye-eyed, crossed-out ball quickly popped into Lumian's mind.

As Lumian sketched repeatedly, his body and mind became more and more peaceful, and his thoughts gradually drifted.

He "saw" a faint gray mist around him, more indescribable, non-existent things and rich patches of color mixed together, and there was a clear and pure light in the sky, perhaps in the depths.

"Don't worry, the probability of success in meditation for the first time is very low." Aurel comforted her brother beside her.

Lumian was about to report to his sister that he had successfully entered a meditative state, when he suddenly felt that something was watching him in the depths of the faint gray mist and in the infinite heights!

This seemed to be an illusion, but he was covered in cold sweat and inexplicably frightened, and he was out of the meditation state at once.
