Chapter 54: Summoning the Messenger

The carpet, the walls, and the sky outside the window returned to their normal colors, and the two looked at each other for a long time without words.

"I didn't expect that the power of Bansey Port actually hides so many mysteries, involving the war of the last era, the power of the 'calamity', and the hidden ...... that even Mr. Azik dare not touch."

Angel said slowly, looking down at the two silver charms on the table, as if there was a "Calamity" charm made of her blood between them.

Suddenly, she felt a not strong, but very warm force coming from her shoulder.

At some point, Crane came to Angel's side, hugged her, and pulled her in the crook of his arm.

The soft touch made her feel very comfortable, and instead of wrapping her arms with her backhand as usual, she lowered her head slightly and rubbed into the depths of Klein's embrace.

The inner hesitation was also alleviated by this intimate act.

"Don't worry, we've left Bansey Harbor, the mutation there has nothing to do with us, and Mr. Azik will help continue the search for the truth...... I also have certain ways to avoid a certain level of risk and explore this power, remember what Leonard said about us? ”

Crane's whispered words rang in Angel's ears, and the air currents made her hair itch.

"What assessment? A master of soothsayers? ”

Punching the spirit, she made clichΓ© jokes.

This sentence successfully amused the other party, and she herself was infected by the smile, and the two stuck together like this, smirking stupidly, until the bright colors such as red and yellow on the side flashed, and a figure that was not too tall returned to the living room again.

"By the way, I think it's time for you, especially Angel, to have your own messenger...... Sorry, didn't I come at the wrong time? ”

Azk's soft voice was heard, then abruptly interrupted, Angel looked up in confusion at the bronzed gentleman, the three of them staring at each other, and the room fell into an awkward silence.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

Angel had seen two messengers, Dali Simone's floating spirit with a mouth and a hand on its tongue, and the bone giant that Azkena summoned through the Bronze Whistle.

At this time, Azik was using his own bone giant as an example to explain how to summon and use the messenger, and he blew a brass whistle to make the bone messenger who could pierce the ceiling appear in the living room, and the latter did not have the usual arrogance, but obediently lowered his body and showed his upper body in front of several people.

For some reason, when it changed its posture, it quietly moved away from Klein and narrowed the distance between it and Angel.

"To get your own messenger, you must first design an accurate summoning ritual and prepare the corresponding spiritual creature contract, which belongs to the knowledge of death and the spiritual world, and it is easy to attract ill intentions by tossing around."

But the two couriers I saw were friendly, well, maybe the unfriendly ones had already killed the contractors and ran away on their own, like the unfortunate victims of the Catacombs of Trier...... After Angel was frightened, he got rid of the decadent state just now, and muttered in his heart.

Not noticing her thoughts, Azik continued:

"There are two ways to obtain the messenger, either through accurate descriptions, summon the corresponding spirit creature in the ritual, sign a contract with it, and let it serve you; Either go straight into the spirit realm, find the messenger you need there, and contract with it directly, of course, only if you get its consent, otherwise it is very dangerous.

"Depending on your situation, I would recommend the first method, which is easy to attract strange or dangerous spirits depending on the description, like the popular street wheel game of Intis, where each summon is a draw, but I can provide a time-tested description to avoid dangerous situations as much as possible. Of course, this kind of summoning may not be able to obtain the most satisfactory messenger, and can only choose some good and bad. ”

"Is this messenger of yours not bad, or is it good?"

Crane couldn't help but ask, he looked curiously at the white bone messenger burning with black flames in his eye sockets, and the latter squirmed again, moving farther away from him, making him a little suspicious that the white bone messenger summoned at this time was the one who died in the battle with Mr. A and came back to life in the underworld.

"They are special, they do not belong to the spirit world, but from the underworld, of course, if you are lucky, you can find similar ones."

It seems to be in a good category...... Angel looked up at the messenger, a little envious.

"So, which of you would like to give it a try?"

After explaining the relevant knowledge, Azik looked at the two "students" with some expectation, like a teacher waiting to ask a question.

"Come first, I can use the copper whistle to summon Mr. Azik's messenger for the time being."

Klein whispered.

He wanted me to try it with Mr. Azik's protection...... Angel felt a warmth in her heart and nodded.

After arranging the spiritual wall, Azik casually filled the interior space with the power of the necromantic realm, which belonged to the "related realm" he mentioned, and without the presence of this extraordinary person in the realm of death, they would have to find the relevant magical items or extraordinary materials before they could attempt the ritual.

After setting up the altar and lighting the candle that symbolized herself, Angel watched as the other two retreated to the wall, and were obscured by a thick mist at the wave of Mr. Azik, before chanting in the ancient Hermetic language:

"Me!

"In my name I call:

"A spirit that wanders in vain, a friendly creature to drive ......"

The first sentence describes the format necessary for rituals to point to the spirit realm, similar to phrases such as "wandering in the upper realm"; The second sentence is a specific description of the messenger, which can be modified according to one's own needs, and the one provided by Mr. Azik can avoid evil spirits that are "evil", "hate humans", and "do not want to be driven".

And then the last sentence......

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A messenger who can travel quickly to and from various places. ”

This sentence can also be changed as needed, Angel wants a messenger who can specialize in sending letters, so this sentence has precise descriptions such as "fast" and "messenger".

Whew-

A gloomy wind blew, the temperature around them dropped sharply, and the light of the sacrificial candles flickered and became dim.

In her vision, a white-feathered bird with fluttering wings fell from the sky, and before it could fall to the floor, it regained its balance, turned upward at an extremely fast speed, and flew up quickly, circling her several times.

It worked!

Angel was a little excited, she was already ready to fail, and even prepared to summon strange creatures, but she didn't expect to find a spirit creature that matched her description for the first time.

It seems to be very good that it can fly, it doesn't hurt people, and the birds are also the earliest and most reliable messengers.

But alas, it's too small......

For some unknown reason, the bird, the size of Angel's thumb, rested on the altar, tilting its head to look at her, its barely visible turquoise eyes blinking.

In this way, not to mention the safe delivery of the letter, I am afraid that on the way, a gust of wind, well, a spiritual wind will blow, and it will be blown away with the letter......

Sighing, Angel gave it an apologetic look and said like a boss who had ruthlessly rejected a candidate:

"Me! I end this calling in my name! ”

As the ancient Hermetic repatriation incantation was pronounced, the thumb-to-thumb bird fluttered and disappeared into the altar, the breeze around it stopped blowing, and the candlelight returned to its steady.

Licking her somewhat dry lips, Angel looked at Crane and Mr. Azik in the corner, both of whom gave her an encouraging smile.

Regrouping her emotions, she resumed the ritual, this time trying to change the description of the last sentence to avoid the same problem.

Fast light is not enough...... At the very least, it must be able to hold the letter and deliver it safely and accurately......

After a moment of thought, Angel recited:

"Me!

"In my name I call:

"A spirit that wanders in vanity, a friendly creature to drive, a powerful and wise transcendent."

Bang –

As if the sound of the floor being slammed, Angel turned on his vision and looked at the altar, where a huge figure two and a half meters tall with its head almost up to the ceiling appeared, even obscuring the light of the candles.

He was a muscular, stubborn, friendly giant, much like Father Utrawski she had met at Harvest Chapel in Beckland, and perhaps had Fursack's ancestry during his lifetime.

It looks like it's very capable and friendly......

Angel was a little overjoyed in her heart, and she tried to speak, communicating in Old Hermesian:

"Will you make a pact and be my messenger?"

The giant's bronze eyes looked at her, and after a moment he spoke, speaking in the Fursak language:

"You, okay."

The sentence is slow, but still audible.

Is this an agreement?

Angel was a little confused, and she looked at the experienced Azq, who had been looking at the giant's spirit, as if looking inside him with his vision, and did not answer for a moment.

It's really not good, so let's choose him first, at least it's stronger than the thumb bird just now...... Angel looked at the giant again, and was about to speak, but the other man nodded slowly and said:

"I, with me."

Very well, he agreed...... Wait, he's answering my question, after a full minute?

Angel's smile froze on her face, and she finally discovered the giant's biggest problem - sluggishness.

His first "Hello" is a greeting to meet and happens a minute after being called, while the second "Agree" is also a minute after Angel asks, which is how fast he reacts......

When it was more critical and needed to pass the information as soon as possible, I couldn't even communicate with him verbally, not because he couldn't understand, but because our conversation was delayed for more than a minute!

A smile appeared on her face and she said:

"Thank you for your cooperation, I think you deserve a better contractor."

Before that minute's delay passed, Angel quickly lifted the summoning and sent the giant back to the spirit realm.

Wiping the non-existent sweat on her forehead, she looked at the two people in the corner a little tiredly, wondering if it was better to make a fool of Klein and let her rest for a while.

As if guessing her thoughts, Crane raised his right hand slightly, stretched his index finger, and made a "1" gesture to signal her to try again.

Well, just try, and if it doesn't work out, it's your turn......

Angel thought to herself, relighting the candle and reciting the ritual mantra again.

"A spirit that wanders in vanity, a friendly creature to be driven, a unique being who is capable and willing to be a messenger."

She was going to try one last time with the broadest of descriptions, as long as there was one that could deliver the letter, even if it was just an enlarged version of the first thumb bird.

Whew-

The room was blown by a strong wind, and the candlelight flickered incessantly, turning an eerie black.

This time the movement was louder than the previous two, Angel was a little excited, she pursed her lips and looked in the direction of the candle, waiting for the last spirit creature to arrive.

But, nothing appeared.

Well?

She ended her psychic state, turned it back on, looked forward again, looked around again, then the corner.

Crane looked around in the same confusion, and Azik looked at her, at her feet, to be exact.

Angel had an epiphany, looked down, the air under her feet fluctuated like water ripples, and a black cat about half a meter long and much larger than an ordinary cat appeared on the carpet, looking at her with turquoise blue eyes.
