Summoning targets
When he was still Cordou Village, faced with this kind of thing, Lumian would probably pick up the invitation letter, find the end of the month, go to "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall with a playful attitude, make a big prank, and pay back all the shock he just received.
But now, having a certain understanding of Mysticism World and experiencing many abnormalities, he flicked his finger and let a little red spark fly out and land on the black-backed hard paper.
In the rapidly expanding firelight, Lumian carried Carbide Lamp, left this place Quarry Cavern, and walked towards the nearest Underground Trier exit.
On the way, he doubted this and that, feeling that the moss on the rock wall, Insects in the darkness, and the invisible things in the air had all turned into Monet's eyes, looking at him motionlessly.
This couldn't even be called a hallucination, but it made Lumian's spirit always highly tense and his heart beating violently.
The only thing that comforted him was that Termiboros didn't speak, showed no anxiety or worry, and the problem didn't seem to be serious.
A quarter of an hour later, Lumian climbed to the ground along the steps made of steel.
When the clear Sunlight penetrated the blue sky and white clouds and shone on his face, he felt as if he had finally come to life.
Phew, no wonder "Magician" Lady said, try to live under Sunlight of Trier... Lumian extinguish Carbide Lamp, identify the location, and return to White Coat Street.
After entering Safe House, the first thing he did was to summon Messenger of "Magician" Lady and inform the holder of That One Major Arcana about the subsequent development.
"Magician"Lady's reply is very simple:
"Well done, stay away from 'Different from the Rest'Dance Hall.
"Mr.'The Fool's'Angel of Time' will pay attention to this matter."
Mr. 'The Fool''s "Angel of Time" will pay attention to the problems of "Different from the Rest" Dance Hall? There really is a "Angel of Time"..."Different from the Rest" Dance Hall There is some degree of connection, or hatred, between the Angel that those liars believe in and the "Angel of Time" of Mr. "The Fool"? Lumian thought for a while and couldn't figure out the specific situation.
He temporarily relaxed and fell on the bed, using sleep to restore his mental and spiritual state.
At noon, Lumian casually ate two meat pies, drank a cup of Apple Cider, sat down at the table, and carefully looked through the "Spirit World Creature Information Index".
While reading quite quickly, he held the black absorbent Fountain Pen and drew a circle on the paper from time to time to outline a target that felt more appropriate.
After more than an hour, Lumian initially screened out 50 or 60 types of Spirit World Creature who had relatively suitable abilities and low-risk levels. According to the marked page numbers, he pulled out the manuscript and began to conduct detailed research.
He read for a while and rested for a while. In the evening, he finally read through the corresponding manuscript, mastered the knowledge contained in it, and made the final choice:
The first type is "Abscessed Severed Hand". This Spirit World Creature once left a legend in the central and southern regions - it was summoned by some Mysticism enthusiasts and strangled everyone present.
According to Recording at the scene, the deceased were distributed in different places in the forest. Except for those who died first in the Hunter hut, the others died at almost the same time. This shows that after "Abscessed Severed Hand" strangled one person, he immediately appeared in front of another target and pinched his neck.
Judging from the picture presented by Dream Divination, it was a blue-black severed hand that had rotted to the point of swelling and oozing pus. It always appeared suddenly in front of the victim's eyes, pinched his neck within two or three seconds, and then Flash moved to another victim, even though the two sides were hundreds of meters apart.
It is precisely based on the characteristics of "Swollen Broken Hand" that Lumian believes that it has strong "Spirit World Traversal" ability.
And its degree of danger, according to the description of "Magician" Lady, can only be considered ordinary, and it will be restrained by the power of Summoning Ritual.
However, the holder of Major Arcana also specially marked this sentence:
"It seems to be a component of a certain creature."
If there are severed hands, will there be broken legs, heads, torsos, and internal organs? What will happen if they meet each other? What will they look like if they are reassembled? Lumian recalled the process of browsing the index before, but could not find similar creatures. After all, he mainly browsed for abilities, characteristics, and danger levels, and did not pay attention to the corresponding names.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the remaining parts of "Swollen Broken Hand" belong to the "powerful" and "dangerous" categories and have not been read by Franca, Jenna and "Knowledge Rabbit".
If "Swollen Broken Hand" doesn't have the "Spirit World Traversal" ability that Lumian expected or has to pay a price he can't afford to sign Contract, he has several other options.
As for the camouflage ability, the Spirit World Creature he is interested in is "Headless Bride":
Its legend is in the Southern Continent Kingdom of Hagati, which was originally a girl who eloped with Lover.
When she and Lover held a private wedding, they were found by her parents and family members, and her brother killed her on the spot and cut off her head in the name of violating the sacred marriage and clan rules.
This girl may have something special about herself, or she may have come into contact with things related to Spirit World during the elopement. So, catalyzed by Pain, unwillingness, resentment, and resentment before her death, she absorbed the power from Spirit World and turned into a creature similar to Evil Spirit.
Wearing red-on-gold-patterned bridal clothes, it crazily hunted and Curse its own clan, causing them to encounter various Calamity in the next thirty years until their bloodline was cut off.
Today's "Headless Bride" is active in Spirit World, and will transform into different appearances, luring surrounding creatures and passing "travelers" to approach and kill them.
For "Pyromaniac", this is a target that can be dealt with under the protection of Ritual.
The alternative to "Headless Bride" is "Man-Faced Mantis":
"This is the unique Spirit World Creature. During his lifetime, he was a flower|flower|gong|zi with excellent grace and appearance.
"He is Republic of Intis Lower Hornacis Province Saen Region's teacher. He is loved and sought after by ladies and ladies.
"He has literary talent, is good at writing poetry, and has a large number of Lover.
"This kind of life continued until the spouse of a lady reported to Church that he was Warlock and used witchcraft to control his wife.
"'Eternal Blazing Sun'The investigators sent by Church questioned a large number of local Mens, and the answers they received were similar to the content in the report letters. Most of these Mens did not know each other and had never been in contact with them.
"On the contrary, those ladies and ladies thought that they were voluntary and tried their best to defend the flower | flower | son | son.
"In the dissatisfaction of the local Men, Judgement soon ended, and the flower | flower | son | was sent to Stake.
"During the subsequent review, the official confirmed that Hua|Hua|Gong|zi was not Warlock, and all the accusations came from collective jealousy and hatred at https://m•hetushu. com. com.
"It is said that there is a shadow of 'Instigator' in this matter.
"After that Hua|Hua|Gong|zi died, Yu Spirit World turned into a mantis with a human face. He hated everything and was good at Change and Hunting..."
Lumian was quite emotional after reading these two pieces of information.
Having lived in the countryside for almost six years, he could really feel that the villagers were ignorant in some aspects.
And this also let him know that not all Spirit World Creature comes from nature. Under special circumstances, dead humans can also be transformed into long-lasting Spirit World Creature. This may be the reason why some places are haunted.
After repeated consideration, Lumian gave up "Invisibility" and "hiding" abilities, leaving the last Contract spot for traits that can directly affect Spirit Body.
His two alternatives are "Thousand-Eyed Evil" and "Screaming Shadow".
These two creatures are Spirit World "indigenous" and only occasionally appear in the notes of some horrific Dream and real Warlock.
"Thousand-Eyed Evil" is made up of pieces of flesh and blood flowing with pink liquid, and each piece has an eye without eyelashes.
After being reflected by the black pupils in the thousands of white eyeballs, whether the target is a human, a beast, or a creature with only Spirit Body left, it will quickly fall asleep Past and enter a deep sleep.
"Thousand-Eyed Evil" and Dream are also related to a certain extent. Among the terrifying Dream descended from Recording, their figures are occasionally seen at the deepest and most terrifying level.
"Screaming Shadow" is a large group of transparent Shadows that are fused together. They scream frequently, causing creatures that are close to them to fall into coma.
Except for the scream, they have all the characteristics of the ordinary Shadows.
Lumian copied all the information on these alternative targets on the new Paper, folded them, and put them in his pocket.
He stayed at Breeze Ballroom for a while, then left Market Avenue around ten o'clock in the evening, went around to Lister Docks, and entered the two-story building he burned down.
The Flames here has long been extinguished, and the houses are Pitch-Black deserted.
Lumian Considering that this time we are asking Mr. "The Fool" to witness the existence of Contract, not That One named Fate, we do not plan to summon Underground, lest we run into those weird and dangerous liars "Different from the Rest" and Dance Hall again.
All he needs is to choose a relatively hidden place with no one nearby. That way, even if Ritual has an accident and the summoned creature loses control, it will not affect the surroundings, allowing him to deal with it calmly.
Lumian briefly cleaned up the environment in a relatively intact room in this Pitch-Black building Depths and decorated it Altar.
According to the knowledge brought by "Contracted One", he did not summon "in his own name", but lit two additional Candle that symbolized Deity.
Mr. "The Fool" will be the prayer object and witness of this Ritual.
After creating "Spirit Wall", lighting Candle, and dripping essential oil and Hydrosol, Lumian did not rush to recite Incantation, but took out a Iron Gray and Military Flask from the inner pocket of Brown Jacket.
The inner side of the bottle mouth of this Military Flask is inlaid with the extra string added by Lumian, and its other end is connected to the "Dignity" Brooch sunk in Absinthe.
This design ensures that Lumian can quickly and accurately take out the piece of Sealed Artifact without having to pour the wine out to search for it or use two fingers to explore the inside.
Lumian hooked his index finger, and Broom Brooch was pulled up.
Red sparks flew out and broke the knot at the end of Sealed Artifact.
Lumian did not hesitate and put "Dignity" Brooch glowing with Golden on his chest.
He thinks that paying the price to sign Contract with Spirit World Creature is equivalent to a kind of "Bribery", and "Dignity" may play a certain role in this scenario.
After saying goodbye Brooch, Lumian looked at the three quietly Burning candles, took a deep breath, and prepared to hold Ritual.
