Chapter 495 Gallo’s World

Name taboo is an important phenomenon in ancient Chinese culture in previous generations. It reflects respect for nobles, relatives and virtuous people.

In ancient society, people's names were not only personal identifiers, but also carried family honor and social status.

Therefore, it is considered impolite to directly address distinguished figures by their names, and these words should be avoided even when writing, especially the emperor's name.

Commonly used ways to avoid taboos are changing words, empty words, and missing pens. These practices are based on respect for authority and tradition. They also reflect the etiquette and hierarchy concepts in Confucian culture. In essence, they are a violation of social order and moral norms. maintain.

All these also prove from the negative side that names do have some kind of magic power to care for people's hearts.

Since Gallo has thousands of clones, he places his spiritual will on different life forms, thereby achieving disguise and lurking.

So, is it possible to use the commonality between them to create an object that can be easily and directly anchored?

There are similar spells in ancient witchcraft.

By making dolls, writing birth dates, names, etc., and marking them, and then applying secret techniques, you can directly affect the body.

"Very well, now it's time to wait.

It is filled with a large number of ancient witchcraft that cannot be explained by modern arcane magic. Some have been proven to be special ritual magic, while others are fabrications and superstitions...

Spells such as True Name Contract and Roll Call are actually inextricably linked to these ancient witchcraft.

In the barbaric era, that is, the era of tribes and clans from minus 10000 to minus 5000 years, the Gnosis School was born.

These dolls are not ordinary witch dolls made of grass and trees, but small dolls made using modern arcana and cloning methods.

……

In accordance with your instructions, we used Gallo's original flesh and blood secrets to recreate some small dolls containing the characteristics of the original body, and linked them with the contract of the real name..."

This is considered to be a feudal superstition in a world without magic, and has no practical effect. However, in the history of the development of magic in this world, similar witchcraft did exist, and it was also the origin of the evolution of rune spells.

A few days later, Roland waited in the mage tower and finally received the report.

With some curiosity, he went to check it out himself.

The mage in the tower informed Roland.

"It has passed the test of "roll call"..."

It turned out that in a hidden secret room, a large row of hand-high dolls were nailed to wooden frames.

These all present the features of a miniaturized "Gallo".

Then, there was the age of witchcraft known as the Dark Dynasty.

But there are indeed some spells that have been passed down, including five categories: summoning, sacrifice, curse, puppet, and witch doctor.

From the year minus 2000 to the beginning of a new era of magic, for two thousand years, wizards and dark magic were prevalent in the world of Atrein.

Roland didn't have a deep understanding of these things, but he had read a lot of books and was indeed impressed.

Then came the Age of Secrets, also known as the Age of Humanity, and the Age of Classical City-States, which was between minus 5000 and minus 2000, when the Rune School was born.

Because the essence of magic has not yet been grasped and the esoteric inheritance method is used, the development of these magics is very slow.

"Sir Roland, all the materials you need are ready.

If he uses that spell to connect the cluster of lives again, it is possible that part of his spiritual will will descend here.

Take necessary protective measures to prevent him from discovering it. "

"Don't worry, we have set up a strict illusion circle in this room. All the miniature dolls will feel like they are living in a real material world."

The staff member who spoke was from the Homir School, which is famous for its virtual technology and has already mastered the very real virtual reality illusion.

Coupled with the calculated calculation without care, Roland can definitely achieve the effect he wants. Roland nodded, showing his recognition of the results of their work.

The only pity is that there is no way to completely simulate the spiritual body.

In that case, it might not even be necessary to clone the flesh and blood and create dolls.

You can get rid of some material restrictions and make large-scale copies.

……

“You want to capture Gallo’s soul that way.”

Antonia took charge of the overall situation and while continuing to deal with the demonic disaster incident in Dolan Kingdom, she also devoted some energy to pay attention to the progress of Roland.

When he learned what Roland had done, he somewhat guessed it.

“Gallo’s spells can indeed be called powerful.

If some of the flaws are optimized, improved, and eliminated, it may become a legendary spell.

But at least for now, he still can't do it.

The spell combines life connection, soul resonance, as well as body seizing, soul transfer and other arcane results. Recently, it has even been integrated with the field of divine magic and has the characteristics of advent.

But one thing is that I found that his authentication was really rough, and his understanding of his own functions and the nature of his soul lacked the level of an archmage.

Theoretically, through such spells, one can invade his mental network and compete for control of the "cluster life form". "

“Who is Gallo? The Gallo of flesh and blood, or the Gallo of spirit and soul?

If we have more nodes in our hands, it is indeed possible to control the entire network..."

Antonia thought for a while and understood.

"But it is still difficult to completely destroy the spiritual network he has formed now. We can only destroy Gallo himself, but it is difficult to destroy the intelligent spirit body he built with 'intelligence endowment'..."

"So, try not to be so brutal and kill them directly, but focus on induction and capture. Only when all the spirits are trapped under our control can we extinguish them all at once."

Roland said.

"This means that it should be treated as a legendary forbidden spell, and the confidentiality level and danger handling measures must be raised to the corresponding level."

The Atrein Mage Tower is enough to provide this level of protection.

Next, a few more days passed.

A captured Gallo clone was sent secretly.

The tower spirit’s reminder sounded.

"Successfully captured the spirit body...

Current quantity 1…”

Roland and Antonia looked at each other.

"It's already started!"

The captured spirit was guided by the illusion and began to reproduce on its own in a specific room.

This is "The Truman Show" created by Roland based on his past life memories.

Those in the know watched this scene closely, and at the same time began to expect that this would successfully capture all of Gallo's clones, thus becoming the key to containing and eliminating him!
