Chapter 53: Phobia of insufficient firepower
During the night, Roy set up a ritual and chanted a spell to summon Lady Nina.
This spirit owl.
After she appeared, she said happily, "Have you thought about it?" β
"Yes, I'm willing to make a pact with you, but I don't know how you can do it."
Roy said.
There are many ways to make a contract with the Messenger.
The more common is the contract book, but there are many kinds of contracts, and the future Gelman uses the necromantic contract.
But.
The Owl Lady in front of her does not seem to be exactly a necromancy, but a special being between a living soul and a necromancer.
Roy had a divination before, and the point was unknown, but it seemed to be some kind of special creature that spied on the path of the secret man.
"You can use the Necromantic Pact."
The other party said in a slightly low voice.
Roy nodded slightlyβ
He has a good relationship with Mr. Azik, and if he has a necromantic contract, he can use the underworld as his final honorific name.
But.
Roy remembered something.
"I don't have extraordinary items for the necromantic path."
"I have."
Lady Owl opens her mouth and spits out a ring with "Nina" printed on it.
It's her name.
But.
It's a Chinese character!
After spitting out the ring, the form of the owl lady changes.
Her original creature-like feathers turned black, and a pair of eyes lit up with soul fire, properly looking like a resentful soul, and there was a faint fluctuation of aura inside.
Roy's eyes were inside and outside of it, and he already understood the state of the other party-
There seems to be a certain amount of pollution in her body, and the function of this ring, in addition to hiding her breath and appearance, is also partly to suppress pollution.
He hid his shock and the dark tide in his heart, and said: "These two seem to be the words of Russell the Great, what does it represent?" β
"I don't know, it's my name, but I forgot it, besides, it's an extraordinary item for the corpse collector's path, and it can be used as a tool to provide strength."
"It has the effect of storing necromantic creatures and summoning them, and the negative effect is that the summoned necrons are crazy and won't necessarily help you." β
Belch.
This is an extraordinary item created by the extraordinary characteristics of the Gatekeeper, and its role is supposed to be to share the pollution through the necrons in the ring, which is a wonderful work.
Sure enough, the origin is extraordinary.
Roy looked at the other man, then pulled out a piece of parchment.
This is a commonly used writing material on the mysterious side, and he also has a backup.
"What do you want?"
"You can summon me without paying, but someone else needs to tell me a story, or pay a small piece of amethyst."
"Okay."
Roy wrote the contents of the contract on itβ
As a voyeur, he memorized a lot of useful and useless knowledge, and the basic contract description was one of them.
But.
There are no follow-up honorific parts in the basic part, and those links Roy borrowed from Gelman's method.
"The destination of all death, the hell hidden deep in the spiritual realm, the testimony of the final death of all things, belongs to the kingdom of death alone."
After the extraordinary object is printed on it, a miserable green flame ignites on the parchment.
After that, Roy signed his name.
"Green Rost."
Not his current name.
But.
The contract remembers the breath, and the name only affects the summoned statement, which is equivalent to a password, which can be any name that is set.
Green was Roy's preconceived name when he wanted to leave the Steam Church, and Rost was his fake last name.
Lady Owl said, "You are very knowledgeable. β
"As voyeurs, we enjoy the benefits of knowledge, but we also bear the price of knowledge."
Roy sighed.
Lady Owl nodded: "You are a very qualified voyeur, and you will definitely become a big person among the voyeurs, perhaps fate will guide me to you." β
Then, she held the pen with her paw and wrote beautiful words-
The font written is even better than Roy's.
"Nina Erego."
Roy handed the ring back.
Nina swallowed it, then flipped a few times and vanished.
She's back to the spirit realm.
"The Courier ......"
"Nina, what does this ring represent?"
Roy frowned.
He vaguely felt that this ring was most likely still the work of Rosell.
β¦β¦
Next.
"Roy, what's going on with the Night Watchman?"
Seeing Roy come back, Ryan Sr., who came back from outside, immediately asked with concern.
Roy's face was solemn.
"The Nightwatcher found out the whereabouts of a secret prayer, but when we traced it down, it seemed that the other person was trying to be promoted with some kind of ritual and potion, but he was tainted by the real creator and became very crazy and terrifying."
"What?"
The book in Ryan Sr.'s hand fell to the ground with a thud.
The True Creator?
Although he is regarded as an evil god by the Seven True God Churches, and the Aurora Society is also shouted at by everyone, there is no doubt that the other party is a true god.
In the face of the listener of Sequence 8 polluted by the true god, he could imagine how terrible the other party was, this battle must have been extremely miserable, and his heart was heavy for a few points, and he couldn't bear to ask for a while.
But in the end, he took a deep breath.
"What about the casualties?"
"I've always adhered to the credo that martial arts scholars and mysteries should be fully prepared and vigilant, so when I felt the warning of spiritual intuition, I immediately closed my eyes and reminded everyone, and I arranged a spiritual creature patrol in advance to detect another enemy approaching."
Roy explained, "Anyway, in the end, I destroyed the ritual magic on the scene with a flash grenade, and cooperated with everyone to forcibly kill Siris, and there were no deaths, just varying degrees of mental contamination. β
Old Ryan's mouth opened and didn't close, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a few seconds, he said, "Another person?" How many of them are there? β
"There is also an extraordinary person who can hide in the shadows, he should also be a member of the Aurora Society, I used a telescope with a voyeuristic eye before, and I saw him standing on the rooftop observing the surroundings, so I had a warning in advance and arranged the preparation of spiritual creatures."
Roy explained.
Ryan Sr. was again lost in thought for a few seconds.
If he hadn't gone out on a mission, instead stayed at the Black Iron Bar as usual, he might have been a corpse by now.
Along with the deceased, there may be those three teammates.
Roy's behavior, arrangement......
It's total, it's amazing!
He couldn't help but sigh, "Roy, you have surpassed me and become a true martial arts scholar. β
"By the way, I was attacked by that extraordinary person behind me, and if I hadn't forgotten to drive back the spirit creatures and kept following me so that I didn't choose to take a bath immediately, I might have died."
Roy continued.
The book in Ryan Sr.'s hand fell to the ground.
"And assassination?"
"Yes, fortunately, I have a habit of standing knowledge charms, I used all kinds of charms to conceal the knowledge of the sage to make the opponent delay for a moment, dodge a catastrophe, and then use combat techniques, extraordinary weapons and items to temporarily repel the opponent."
Roy said with a solemn face, "However, if Mr. Leonard hadn't heard the movement and turned back and accidentally killed the other party, I would have gone to the church to find Mr. Carl last night." β
Old Ryan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "If you really go to the church to find Mr. Karl, maybe you will still die, his sequence is called Hermit, he has the power of shadows, and what he is best at is tracking, hiding, and assassinating in places you can't imagine." β
"Hermit, the power of shadows, so it is."
Roy had a "just figured it out" expression-
Occasionally, it is necessary to give the old leaders a sense of accomplishment.
Especially this kind of indifferent place.
Old Ryan smiled slightly, and said, "The time you have been a voyeur and join the Heart of Machines is still very short, I don't know it's normal, but you can avoid danger again and again, maybe it won't be long before you can fully digest it." β
Both of them know how to play the game, so they naturally have no scruples about chatting.
Roy thought for a moment and said, "Maybe, I often dissect and summarize the code, and every time I summarize a correct code, there will be traces of digestion." β
"I'm running out of chances, but you need to remember Mr. Karl's warning."
"Well, I will."
