Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 426 Summoning the Messenger

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

"I didn't expect that the power of Bansi Port actually hides so many mysteries, involving the wars of the last era, the power of 'disaster', and secrets 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 "disaster" charm made with her blood sandwiched between them.

Suddenly, she felt a not strong, but very warm force on her shoulders.

Klein came to Angel at some point, hugged her, and held her in his arms.

The soft touch made her feel very comfortable. Instead of hugging him with her arms like usual, she lowered her head slightly and nuzzled deep into Klein's arms.

The hesitation in my heart was relieved by this intimate gesture.

"Don't worry, we have left Bansi Port. The changes there have nothing to do with us anymore. Mr. Azik will also help continue to find the truth... I also have some ways to avoid a certain degree of risk and explore this power. , remember what Leonard said about us?"

Klein's whispered words came to Angel's ears, and the air flow made her hair itch.

"What's your evaluation? Expert of divination?"

Bracing herself, she cracked corny jokes.

This sentence successfully made the other party laugh, and she herself was infected by the smile. The two of them stuck together like this, smiling silly, until the red, yellow and other bright colors beside them flashed, and a figure that was not too tall appeared again. Returned to the living room.

"By the way, I think it's time for you, especially Angel, to have your own messenger... I'm sorry, did I come at the wrong time?"

Azik's soft voice came, and then suddenly interrupted. Angel raised his head in confusion and looked at the bronze-skinned gentleman. The three of them looked at each other, and the room fell into an awkward silence.

----

Angel once saw two messengers, Daly Simone's floating spirit body with only a mouth and a hand as its tongue, and Azik's bone giant summoned through a copper whistle.

At this time, Azik was using his bone giant as an example to explain how to summon and use the messenger. He blew the copper whistle to make the bone messenger that could penetrate the ceiling appear in the living room. The latter was not as arrogant as usual, but He 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 world creature contract. These all belong to the knowledge related to death and the spiritual world. messing around can easily attract things with bad intentions."

But the two messengers I saw were quite friendly. Well, maybe the unfriendly ones had already killed the contractors and ran away, just like the unfortunate victims in the Trier Catacombs... Angel was frightened after , got rid of the decadent state just now, muttering in his heart.

Azik did not notice her thoughts and continued:

"There are two ways to obtain a messenger. Either summon the corresponding spirit world creature through an accurate description in the ritual, sign a contract with it, and let it serve you; or directly enter the spirit world and find what you need there. Messenger, sign a contract with it directly, of course, provided that it agrees, otherwise it will be very dangerous.

"Based on your situation, I suggest using the first method. Although it is easy to attract strange or dangerous evil spirits depending on the description, it is like the popular street carousel game in Intis. Every summon is a lottery. , but I can provide descriptive sentences that have been tested for a long time to avoid dangerous situations to the greatest extent. Of course, this kind of summons may not be able to obtain the most satisfactory messenger, and you can only choose some good ones."

"Is your messenger good, not bad, or very good?"

Klein couldn't help but ask. He looked curiously at the Bone Messenger with black flames burning in his eyes. The latter squirmed again and moved further away from him, making him somewhat suspicious that the Bone Messenger summoned at this time was communicating with A. The one who died while blocking a gun in the battle with Mr. and was resurrected in the underworld.

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

It seems that he belongs to the very good category... Angel looked up at the messenger, feeling a little envious.

"So, which one of you wants to give it a try?"

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

"You go 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 under the protection of Mr. Azik... Angel felt a warmth in his heart and nodded.

After setting up the spiritual wall, Azik casually filled the inner space with the power of the realm of the dead. This belonged to the "related fields" he mentioned. If there was no extraordinary person from the realm of death present, they would have to look for related fields. A magical item or extraordinary material is required to attempt the ritual.

After setting up the altar and lighting the candles that symbolized him, Angel watched the other two people retreat to the wall. Under the wave of Mr. Azik, their figures were covered by a thick mist, and then he recited in ancient Hermetic language. :

"I!

"I call in my name:

"Spirit wandering in illusion, friendly creature that can be driven..."

The first description is the necessary format for rituals pointing to the spiritual world. Similar statements include "wandering in the upper world"; the second sentence is a specific description of the messenger, which can be modified according to your own needs. It is provided by Azik This sentence provided by the gentleman can avoid evil spirits that are "evil", "hate mankind", and "do not want to be driven".

And then the last sentence...

"...a messenger who can travel quickly to and from various places."

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

call--

A gloomy wind blew by, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the light of the sacrificial candles swayed and became dim.

In her spiritual vision, a white-feathered bird with flapping wings fell from the sky. Before it fell to the floor, it regained its balance, turned upward at an extremely fast speed, flew up quickly, and circled her several times. lock up.

It worked!

Angel was a little excited. She was already prepared to fail and even summon strange creatures. Unexpectedly, she found a spiritual creature that matched her description for the first time.

They can fly, they don't get violent and hurt people, and birds are also the earliest and most reliable messengers, which seems pretty good. But unfortunately, it's too small...

For some unknown reason, this bird, which was only the size of Angel's thumb, stayed on the altar, tilted its head and looked at her, its almost invisible green eyes blinking.

Not to mention delivering the letter safely, I'm afraid a gust of wind, well, a gust of wind from the spiritual world would blow away the bird and the letter on the way...

Sighing, Angel gave it an apologetic look, and said like a boss who cruelly rejects an applicant:

"Me! I end this summons in my name!"

As this repatriation spell in ancient Hermetic language was recited, the thumb bird fluttered and disappeared on the altar. The surrounding breeze also stopped blowing, and the candlelight returned to stability.

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

After re-adjusting her mood, she held the ceremony again. This time, she tried to change the content of the last sentence to avoid the same problem.

The speed of light is not enough... it must at least be able to pick up the letter and deliver the letter to the other party safely and accurately...

After thinking for a moment, Angel recited:

"I!

"I call in my name:

"A spirit that wanders in illusion, a friendly creature that can be driven, a powerful and wise transcendent."

boom--

There was a sound as if the floor was being smashed. Angel opened his spiritual vision and looked at the altar. A huge figure two and a half meters tall appeared, with his head almost touching the ceiling, even blocking the light of the candles.

This was a giant with strong muscles, strong armor, and a friendly face. He was very similar to Father Utravsky whom she met at the Harvest Church in Backlund. Perhaps he also had Fusac's bloodline during his lifetime.

He looks very capable and friendly...

Angel was a little excited in her heart. She tried to speak and communicated in ancient Hermes:

"Are you willing to sign a contract and become my messenger?"

The giant's copper-bell-sized eyes looked at her, and after a moment he spoke in Fusac language:

"Hello."

The words are spoken slowly, but still clearly audible.

Is this considered consent?

Angel was a little confused. She looked at the experienced Azik, who had been sizing up the giant's spirit body and seemed to be observing his inner being with spiritual vision, but did not answer for a moment.

If it doesn't work, just choose him first, at least he's better than the thumb bird just now... Angel looked at the giant again, and was about to speak, but the other party nodded slowly and said:

"I agree."

Great, he agreed...wait, is he answering my question just now, after a full minute?

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

His first "hello" was a greeting that occurred one minute after he was summoned, and his second "agree" was also one minute after Angel asked. This is his reaction speed...

When it was more critical and I needed to convey information as quickly as possible, I couldn't even communicate with him verbally. It wasn't that he couldn't understand, but our conversation was delayed by 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 the one-minute delay passed, Angel quickly lifted the summons and sent the giant back to the spirit world.

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

As if he guessed her thoughts, Klein raised his right hand slightly, straightened his index finger, and made a "1" gesture, indicating to her to try again.

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

Angel thought with some self-deprecation, lit the candle again, and recited the ritual incantation again.

"A spirit wandering in illusion, a friendly creature that can be driven, a unique existence that is capable and willing to serve as a messenger."

She was prepared to use this broadest description to try one last time, as long as there was someone who could deliver the message, even if it was just an enlarged version of the first thumb bird.

Huhu——

A strong wind blew through the room, causing the candlelight to sway and turn into a strange black color.

The movement this time was louder than the previous two times, and Angel was a little excited. She pursed her lips and looked in the direction of the candlelight, waiting for the last spirit world creature to arrive.

But, nothing appeared.

Ok?

She ended her vision state, opened it again, and looked forward again, then around, and then at the corner.

Klein looked around with the same confusion, while Azik looked at her, or to be precise, at her feet.

Angie had an epiphany and looked down. The air beneath her feet fluctuated like water ripples. A black cat about half a meter long and much larger than an ordinary cat appeared on the carpet. Its blue eyes stared at her blankly.
