Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 117 New Magic Development

The common feature of all contracts is "pay and return", that is to say, no matter what kind of contract the mage signed with the contract object, even if it was a slave contract, the master did not pay nothing.

Money, promises, feelings, souls... no matter what method is used, there must be a price for signing a contract.In a sense, contract magic, like "sacrifice" magic, is a ritual of equivalent exchange.

Although there are founding gods in the world of Aslant, there is no religion with god worship as the core, and the cathedrals all over human society only believe in positive virtues such as "brightness", "kindness", and "beauty". Concept, not that specific god - Anxelam.

So Woz discovered that the ritual magic in this world is actually relatively watery.Since there is no one available for sacrifice, from the ancient priests to the current mages, all they can do is an equivalent exchange, which is far from the cost-effectiveness of the sacrificial ceremony in Woz's impression. high.

In addition to the current great dark wizard Jeref being held on the altar by his followers, the "Aetlias" created by him has the potential to become an object of sacrifice.There is no other choice in the huge world.

Although they are not worshiped as the sacrifice objects of gods and demons, the sacrificers do not have to worry about being bound or even becoming puppets of those gods and demons, but in this way, the power of sacrifice ceremony magic is also greatly reduced, and it is not as good as learning other magic. Kind of magic.

It is precisely because of this ultra-low efficiency that although Woz's text magic is the best carrier of contract magic, he has hardly developed such magic.So now he can only start from scratch.

Strictly speaking, as a "recorder" and master of word magic, all the words written by Woz have the effect equivalent to a contract, which is the so-called one word is worth a thousand dollars, and a promise is a thousand dollars.But it will take a lot of work to formalize them into a full contract.

The magic book seemed to be activated, shining brightly, floating in mid-air, and was still turning pages frantically, as if it would never end.

Runes flowed deep in Woz's pupils, and the brain was synchronously calculating to construct the prototype of magic.Suddenly he frowned, and thought of a key question—since it was contract magic, how much would he have to pay if he wanted to wipe out all 49 wild ghosts?
He made a rough estimate. According to the comparison between the wild ghosts and his strength, if it is the most "fair" contract, he can't even deal with one of them!And if you want to use "unfair"... then you need to beat the contract object until you are convinced...

"If I had that ability, I wouldn't have such a headache!" Woz complained weakly, and immediately rejected the proposal.

It seems that there is no way out!The magic book withdrew its light and slowly fell back onto Woz's lap.

Woz lost in thought again.After a while, he stretched out his palm: "Sanma Ghost Corpse Order!"

A palm-sized token that looked like gold and wood appeared in his hand.This proverb magic is a game he used to play when he was idle, because Woz hadn't discovered that there were zombies and ghosts in this world before.It was not intended to play any role.But when confronting Luo Luojian's mechanical dragon skeleton, this token played a role beyond expectations!
Woz held the token and pressed it to his chest, and immediately felt that the wild ghost's breath in his body was obviously suppressed!
"It works!" Woz was overjoyed. In fact, this token is not a magical item in essence, but a freak created by Woz based on the concept of "magic weapon".Something beyond the rules and concepts of this magical world.

However, in the battle against the mechanical dragon skeleton, in order to target the opponent's "corpse" nature, Woz strengthened the "corpse" aspect in the final training, while weakening the effect on "ghost".So forcibly suppressing the aura of wild ghosts is the best this "Three Horse Ghost Corpse Token" can do.

And taking a step back, even if Woz makes a full version of the "Three Horse Ghost Corpse Order", it can only temporarily suppress or expel the existence of wild ghosts, but cannot achieve the effect he wants.

So the best way is to redevelop new magic based on the principle of this token, not contract magic, but pure "command"!
Woz's word magic and his magic book are his greatest reliance as a chess player, and also his exclusive BUG as a traverser. Its biggest characteristic is that "quantitative changes will inevitably lead to qualitative changes."In other words, as long as the number of effective words is sufficient, even the magic of God can be imitated for you!

The so-called BUG is unreasonable, completely unscientific, and there is no magic.So this kind of "magic" that can simply restrain wild ghosts without paying a price in exchange is also achievable-as long as there is enough text support!
Woz made another estimate in his heart, and then his face turned pale.However, under the pressure of the current situation and the strong potential of the 49 wild ghosts, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Automatic scribe!" Woz called out, and the golden elf immediately appeared in front of him, "From now on, stop all recovery operations, switch to full-force writing mode, and help me develop a new magic."

The automatic secretary tilted his head and nodded, then let out a scream, as if asking a question.

Of course Woz understood: "Yes, there are a lot of words, and it is estimated that [-] pages are needed. You get the magic book ready, and I will provide the necessary additional magic support."

The automatic secretary's small body suddenly froze and sank.Ten thousand pages?Calculated based on the fact that each piece of paper can write a thousand characters, that is an exaggerated number of tens of millions of characters!Even if it is an artificial intelligence, the automatic secretary feels a lot of pressure!

"You can learn from some of the content of the 'Three-horse Ghost Corpse Order', and it will be much easier." Woz did not soften his heart, "Complete it as soon as possible, we only have two days!"

His excess magic power can only be suppressed for another two days.

The automatic secretary was also very aware of Woz's situation, so he immediately cheered up, clenched his small fist and swung it vigorously, expressing his determination with a soft whistle.

She then took over control of the spellbook completely.

The automatic book and the magic book were floating in the air together. Her small body was sitting cross-legged in front of the huge book. With a wave of her little hand, the book was turned over. Blank papers fell off the book one by one and flew out. .

The speed of the paper flying out was getting faster and faster, and the endings were connected, and soon formed a paper dragon hovering in the air.And it has endless momentum.

However, no matter how many papers flew out, the thickness of the magic book itself never changed.This is the characteristic of this book - endless pages, and it is also an unscientific and unmagical BUG!

After a full [-] pages flew out, the magic book closed, and the automatic secretary sat on the cover, like a king inspecting his own territory, looking down at the blank papers that covered the entire study.

She patted the cover under the seat, and a magic circle shrunk down in proportion to her size suddenly appeared on the cover of the magic book, and a dark golden pen of unknown material rose from it.

This pen seems to be commonly used by Woz, but it is a bit big for an automatic secretary with a size of only [-] centimeters.The automatic secretary holding a pen is like holding a thick spear, which is a bit ridiculous.

But the blurry little face of the automatic secretary was full of "serious" temperament. He stood up holding the pen, holding the pen in the posture of a soldier holding a gun, and a blank paper flew over and hovered over her. in front of.

The automatic secretary stomped its feet, and the gaps in the pages of the magic book sparkled golden. Countless dark golden characters flowed out from the three sides of the book like a waterfall. As soon as it fell, it immediately rose again, flying around the automatic secretary and the magic book.

There are more and more words surrounding me, and large pieces of light are flickering, one after another.The tip of the automatic secretary touched the paper lightly, and the words flowed out in an instant.

The dark golden elf filled the entire page without stopping, and then the back; in just two or three seconds, a blank sheet of paper was filled.Then the next blank page is ready...

As its name suggests, the automatic secretary is transformed into a writing machine, writing and writing "swipe and brush"!It is also because of her that Woz's word magic is truly complete.

Of course, Woz is not idle at this time, on the contrary, he is busier than the automatic secretary.

Such an explosive writing method cannot be done casually. The words flying around the automatic secretary are the foundation of everything. What the automatic secretary needs to do is to extract the words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or even chapters, printing them directly onto blank paper.This is a way to achieve fast writing by consuming the original accumulation in the magic book.And the entire idea of ​​the magic to be formed, the selection of words must be checked by Woz himself.At this moment, he has put all his mind into the magic book, recalling, browsing, thinking, and editing, as if he plunged into the storm of words and fought bravely!
Until late at night, Heyberian and others, who found that Woz hadn't moved, couldn't help but come up to check the situation.

As soon as they opened the door, everyone was stunned by the vast expanse of whiteness on the ground.

Papers were constantly flying into the air, and papers were falling from the air. In the dark room, the swirling words were extremely eye-catching, with golden light shining.In the center, Woz's book is floating in the air, and there is a strange unidentified humanoid object standing on it.

And Wozzze sat on the original seat with his eyes closed, motionless, as if he was asleep.

Seeing the little golden dots flying all over the sky and the small and exquisite golden villain, the cat suddenly became curious, and couldn't help but want to go over and catch them.

But before he took a few steps, he was grabbed by Heiberian's collar and brought back: "Don't bother him, Woz seems to be doing something important."

Mirajane explained: "This should be developing new magic. I have seen him in a similar situation, and he was developing new magic at that time."

Heiberian showed a curious look: "Huh? This is the first time I've seen magic developed in this way. It's really interesting. It seems that it's really because of his unique word magic? You must get to know him well after he's finished. one time."

For this experienced old mage, only unique and unknown magic can arouse his interest.

"However, how long will this state of Woz last?" He looked at Mirajane.

The girl also shook her head helplessly: "I don't know either. It depends on the specific situation. If the magic that needs to be completed is relatively simple, it will be finished soon; but if it is a complex advanced magic, the time required is uncertain. It's gone." She looked at the scene in the room worriedly, "This is the first time even I have seen a formation of this scale, it seems to be quite a complicated and tricky new magic!"

"Why do such things at such a time!" She couldn't help complaining, "Can't we wait until we finish our meal and rest?"

Mirajane knew very well that Woz, who was focused, would not give up what he was doing to eat and sleep.After lunch today, he hasn't eaten anything, and it will continue for longer, and Mirajane is worried about whether his body can hold on.

"I'll just watch him here." In the end, the girl sighed helplessly, and said to Heiberian, "I'm really sorry, I still need to occupy your study for a while."

　I also want to have an automatic secretary to help code words!
