Chapter 41: Voice
When he first acquired that occult knowledge, Lumian was looking forward to the "exorcism", which seemed to solve Susanna's problem perfectly. Matisse's problem, if she hasn't been completely cleared by the official extraordinary.
It wasn't until he had actually browsed the "Exorcism Technique" that Lumian realized that he was too soon happy.
This ritual magic can indeed drive away resentful spirits and even evil spirits and keep them from haunting, but there are two prerequisites, one is to know the ghost's real name, to get something she carried during her lifetime, and the other is to have enough time to perform the ritual.
The second premise is that the exorcism technique cannot be used in the heat of battle, which is more suitable for Charlie's previous dream of Suzanne Matisse, haunted by resentful spirits or evil spirits, but he will not be able to die for a while.
And Lumian is not substantially harmed by Suzanne Matisse now, at most she is targeted by her exorcism technique, "there is no corresponding target, and there is no way to drive away."
When Suzanne Matisse strikes again, she will not treat Lumien gently, but will absorb his energy through spring dreams again and again, guiding him step by step towards death, and with the hatred and paranoia she has shown before, she must have done it directly, using all kinds of extraordinary abilities, in order to kill the target on the spot.
In that case, Lumian would not have the time to use the exorcism at all, unless someone helped him block it for two or three minutes.
Do you want to take advantage of the official extraordinary? But that also means that I was officially known, and the follow-up was very troublesome...
"Or let Charlie sacrifice himself, appease Suzanne Matis with touching love words, and accompany her to do that in reality? The longer he lasts, the more hope I have of completing the exorcism.
But this method is weird, there is a sense of underground literature, and Lumian muttered silently.
The current Republic of Intis, although known as... Freedom is the slogan, but in reality it is not so free.
In order to prevent the Russell cultists from seeking restoration, the Charcoalers from trying to overthrow the current regime, and the opposition from shaking the prestige of the ruling party, and on the other hand, under pressure from the Church of the Steam and Mechanical God and the Church of the Eternal Sun, the Republic of Intis has always had a rather strict policy of censorship.
They will even arrange spies or recruit certain writers as spies to monitor active creators to ensure that they do not publicize things that affect the image of the ruling party, and do not allow excessive pornography or excessive criticism of clerical power
In front of the eyes of a wide range of readers.
Where there is a ban, there is a violation, and Trier develops a thriving underground literary market that spills over into the province of Keta.
Aurel once bought a few copies out of curiosity, and stopped his brother from flipping through them, hiding them in the most hidden corner of the bookcase, but if there is a prohibition, there is a violation, and Lumian secretly read one of them and was shocked.
The book was a combination of a critique of clergy, a critique of the extravagance and depravity of the clergy, and the dissemination of erotic content, and was called "The Monk Who Chased the Dog."
The scheme that Lumian had just imagined to seduce Susanna Matisse with Charlie was very similar to some of the underground literature.
Moreover, there is no Suzanne yet. The items that Matisse carried during her lifetime were used as a medium, and these days you can try to check where the things she left are, whether they can be used in the end or not, and you are not afraid of disasters if you are prepared.
Lumien pulled back to his thoughts and took stock of something else.
What can the four ritual magic do, and what does it mean to yourself.
In his opinion, "the art of accumulation is very magical, but also evil, weird, and terrifying. ”
This can be used in such a way as to turn captives into sheep, cows, horses, etc., and take them away openly, for example, to allow oneself to blend in as an animal in places that you would not otherwise be able to blend into, but most of the time, especially in the heat of battle, this ritual magic is almost useless.
According to the occult knowledge that was poured into Lumian's head, the object of the beast-making technique could be either the secret being in the name of fate, or the honorific name that was given to those who did not know who to point to, or himself.
Of course, the premise is that you have enough spirituality and the corresponding person, and the probability of success of the ritual is much lower than the previous two methods, and the same is true for the duration of the effect.
In the art of animal creation, the minimum requirement for the person is to reach the sequence 7 "The person who has been contracted", the higher the person, the more likely the ritual is to be successful, and the better the effect is the pollution of the seal in the body, Lumian is not worried about the problem of whether the person is enough, but he is not sure that his spiritual properties cannot support the consumption of the art of animal creation, if he can, he can withstand it a few times.
In addition to the "Animal Creation Technique", the remaining four ritual magic can also be invoked by itself, and as for the probability of success, the effect is another matter.
Based on this, Lumian suspects that these five ritual spells can be simplified in a higher sequence and can be initially applied to actual combat, for example, if you wrap an enemy in sheepskin and recite a pre-set incantation, you can directly turn him into a sheep.
"The person who is equivalent to Sequence 7 is not able to do it, and the person in the ring of Sequence Lie 4 is too high to match this rudimentary spell, so, is it a similar simplification attached to Sequence 5's Fortune Hunter, or is it Sequence 6 whose name I don't know at the moment?"
Lumian subconsciously analyzed.
As for the transfer technique, he felt that at present, he could only focus on helping others, and he should not be able to use it on himself, because
His fate was profoundly affected by the contamination of the seal in his body and the great being who was polluted by the seal, and unless he prayed directly to the power of fate, it was impossible to transfer, that is, when he reached the life hunter stage, he could selectively pick a fate that did not involve those high-level existences to exchange.
The "Substitution Technique" is too complicated, and it will seriously affect Lumian's daily life and other tasks, and it is not that there is no other way, and he will not consider using it.
In contrast, Prophecy is a not too difficult to complete and quite useful ritual magic.
Lumian was already planning to gather the appropriate information, find the corpse, and analyze Suzanne by asking Charlie about the future. The approximate time frame of Matisse's re-attack, and the search for Pua by asking about Louis Lund's future
Mrs. Leith's whereabouts.
Dog saliva, lynx entrails, hyena tongues, stag bone marrow, sea monster or monster pieces of meat, lizard eyes, eagle nest stones, snake venom sacs, and deadly herbs.
It's not too difficult to find these materials, the only trouble is the meat of the sea monster or the water monster, but the ritual requirements don't say what level it must be, and theoretically the weakest water monster is also a water monster, but the effect is not so good?" Lumian thought for a while, saw that Jingban had recovered a lot, and was ready to leave this underground quarry cavity and return to the Golden Rooster Hotel.
As soon as he got up, Huo Ran frowned.
He heard a small voice, and it was echoing in his ears!
Lumian forced himself to calm down and listen carefully to the voice.
Gradually, in his perception, the voice grew clearer, deeper and more magnificent.
"Lumian Lee"
Know my name? Lumian, who was carrying a calcium carbide lamp, instinctively looked around, but did not find a figure, and did not find anything abnormal.
"Lumian Lee!"
"Lumian Lee!"
The voice rang out one after another, as if it came from the depths of Lumien's mind, from the inside of his body, blocked by flesh, viscera, and bones, forming layers of echoes.
Inside his body, as soon as Lumian had such a cognition, he had a certain guess in his heart, he suppressed his voice and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" The loud and illusory cascading voice no longer repeated the shout, and solemnly said: I am the angel of the Lord, Termibolos, which Lord is the Lord?" Lumian's eyes were slightly weak, and the corners of his mouth were curled.
He suspected that the person who spoke was the "pollution" sealed in his body, and after he received the gift of "dervishes" and got closer to the existence in the name of fate, the other party reluctantly conveyed the unpolluted voice with the help of the connection between the powers.
Suddenly, Lumian kept turning, looking to the side, as if there were invisible people staring at him in the darkness around him.
It scared him, it made him uneasy, it made him almost crazy.
At this moment, a faint gray mist came out of nowhere and enveloped the area, and Lumian's mental state was greatly calmed.
He scoffed at the self-proclaimed angel of Themipolos.
You're the one who was sealed inside me?
I don't know if it's a true angel with extraordinary characteristics, or only an angelic servant of gifts.....
Such a provocation made Lumian's physical potion seem to have disappeared a little.
Instead of anger or anger, Themipolos said solemnly and solemnly, "As long as you do what I command."
Tell me to come out of the seal, and I will help you resurrect Aurel-Lee.
You should be well aware that the power of our Lord involves the past, the present and the future, and can make destiny form a cycle.
When the time comes, I'll return the Soul Fragment to the way it was before the Advent began, and you only need to prepare her with a vital body.
Lumian fell silent, and after a moment he asked in a low voice, "The Advent Ritual is to create a body for you to come."
