Chapter 321 Summoner and Awakening Temple

An hour later, the carriage team arrived in front of a tall stone temple.

This stone temple seemed to be built for giants; the temple gate alone was at least five meters high.

Everyone got off the carriages in an orderly manner, then lined up and stood at attention, waiting for the middle-aged priest to give instructions.

After Su Nan saw them all lined up, he agilely jumped down from the top of the carriage.

The middle-aged priest looked at Su Nan with a puzzled expression. "You are…"

"I don't think I've seen you before, and you even jumped down from the top of my carriage."

He didn't think he had seen Su Nan before.

Su Nan used the virtual machine to transform himself into a vampire earl, then looked into the priest's eyes, their pupils meeting.

The other's pupils unconsciously dilated.

Hypnotizing someone with a mental strength of only 3 was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut for Su Nan.

Su Nan said, "You have seen me before."

The middle-aged priest nodded, confused. "Yes, I suddenly remember you. You're such a naughty child; how could you climb onto the roof of my carriage? It's too dangerous."

"Moreover, if other priests saw your behavior, you would be reprimanded, and your awakening qualification might even be revoked. Alright, everyone, enter the Awakening Temple. You brat, other priests aren't as easygoing as I am."

"You must behave yourself."

Su Nan glanced at him in surprise. He didn't expect that the first summoner priest he encountered in this plane would be such a nice guy.

Some teenagers whispered that Priest Uru was as easygoing as ever.

Priest Uru led them into the Awakening Temple. Inside the Awakening Temple, there were stone slabs erected, with many strange monsters on them.

Su Nan was very curious about this.

When he entered this temple, he noticed that there was a barrier inside, and it seemed that one had to wear badges made of some special material on these young men and women to enter this barrier.

The barrier was quite complex, and both the AI and Su Nan noticed that the style of the barrier was completely different from the magic within the mainstream wizard society.

This meant that Su Nan needed to spend more time analyzing this barrier.

All the young men and women went in, but only Su Nan was still standing at the entrance of the Awakening Temple, and a priest inside was already looking at Su Nan with a puzzled expression.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Nan's age was just right for awakening, even a little younger, this priest would have thought Su Nan was a spy or something.

Priest Uru saw that Su Nan was not coming in for a long time and grabbed Su Nan's arm.

"Hey, kid, this is the day when we ordinary people have the best chance to defy fate. Why aren't you coming in? Don't anger the great priests of the Awakening Temple."

"Didn't your parents tell you anything today?"

Su Nan raised his eyebrows. In the main material plane, he was a high-ranking first-ring wizard, a Storm Archlord, and no one had ever dared to speak to him in this tone.

But for the sake of the other party's concern for him, he would forgive him.

"My parents are dead," Su Nan said truthfully. He was quickly deciphering the temple's barrier, so he was trying to stall for time.

Su Nan suddenly looked at the priest grabbing his arm, his eyes lighting up slightly. Taking advantage of the priest's momentary distraction, he grabbed his hand and entered the temple.

'So that's how it is. When two people are in contact, as long as one person holds the special badge to enter the temple, they can enter the temple,' Su Nan thought.

Priest Uru was a little dazed and sighed, "Another poor child."

He looked at Su Nan and said, "Then I have a few words to tell you."

"First, most people will fail to awaken, so even if you fail to awaken, it's nothing. There are still many jobs in life that we can do; being a priest is not the only job worth our effort."

"Second, during the awakening ceremony, try to remain unafraid. Otherwise, it will increase the chance of failure."

"Third, what is the summoner's motto?"

Su Nan was listening carefully. After all, he was currently completely ignorant of this flat-earth plane, and the Priest Uru in front of him probably didn't realize that he was talking to an 'alien'.

Su Nan shook his head.

Priest Uru sighed, "You don't even know this. Then I'll tell you, the summoner's motto is—the summoner's power comes from willpower! We use courage to resist fear!"

Su Nan raised his eyebrows. This kind of basic education in this plane can actually best reflect the characteristics of this plane's power system.

Willpower?

Su Nan had some guesses.

This plane has undoubtedly not been affected by the outside world for thousands of years and has been developing independently.

Therefore, this plane with three million square kilometers, under the abundant magical tide environment, coupled with special geographical environment and plane specialties, may have developed its own unique civilization system.

This system should be called the Summoner System.

Su Nan also noticed that the monster stone slabs in this Awakening Stone Temple were not ordinary stones.

Because from the perspective of spirituality, these stone slabs all possessed special spirituality.

After Priest Uru finished explaining himself, he left. Su Nan then looked at the young men participating in the awakening in the Stone Temple.

These young men all went to the altar in the center of the Stone Temple and placed their hands on a blank stone slab in the altar. People without aptitude, it seems, nothing will happen.

And for people with aptitude, a dazzling blue light will appear on the stone slab. The more dazzling the light, the higher his aptitude.

However, Su Nan observed the aptitude tests of the first thirty or so people and found that this aptitude was absolutely positively correlated with innate mental strength.

Basically, the so-called having summoner aptitude means that at least at the age of eighteen, one's innate mental strength must be higher than 1.

If it is only 1, then the mental strength is only better among ordinary people, but one cannot become a summoner.

Su Nan noticed that this could prove that the summoner society does not have too many proactive ways to improve their mental strength, only some passive ways to improve it. Otherwise, casually giving these commoner teenagers a simple meditation technique would be enough to increase their mental strength to above 1.

Even compared to the wizarding civilization more than two thousand years ago, this summoner society is as rudimentary as the difference between the agricultural age and the industrial age.

However, what Su Nan cared about was that whether it was the flower dragon protecting this plane, the existence that prevented him from obtaining magic wave feedback, or the barrier at the entrance of this temple, that barrier was also very complex… Their power levels were all quite good.

This shows that the upper elites of this summoner society possess power no less than that of a seasoned first-ring wizard, or even a second-ring wizard.

Soon, Su Nan found that it was his turn.

He stood in front of the blank stone slab and did not use hypnotic magic to hypnotize the priests to ensure his safe passage.

After all, mixing into the crowd, he himself had the idea of ​​experiencing the basic power awakening ceremony of this world.

Under the gaze of Priest Uru and the other three priests of the Awakening Temple, Su Nan placed his palm on the blank stone slab, while letting the AI ​​detect it, and also restrained most of his mental strength.

But even so, the blank stone slab still released a dazzling light.

The entire blank stone slab was shaking violently. At this moment, many images appeared in Su Nan's mind, including images of man-faced lions, harpies, moth demons… and other monsters.

All the stone slabs in the Awakening Temple even had a tendency to vibrate.

Su Nan raised his eyebrows. He even saw a phantom image, in which a firebird burning the sky was bound by chains, and after discovering himself, let out a cry, seemingly wanting him to help it break free.

But soon, the illusion disappeared.

Priest Uru and the other three priests looked at Su Nan in disbelief, and then they were pleasantly surprised.

"This kind of light… he is a natural summoner genius."

"Just now, all the stone slabs vibrated. This shows that he can establish a mental connection with most phantasmal beasts and share their power."

Su Nan finally understood. It turned out that the power of this society, this civilization, was like this. Summoners can borrow the power of phantasmal beasts, so willpower is the most important attribute.

It's just that this system is even easier to usurp power than the shaman system he encountered back then.

Somewhat rudimentary.

Su Nan felt that if this system encountered a slightly more mature civilization, it would be rubbed on the ground in minutes.

But this has nothing to do with him.

He only needs to find resources in this plane that can help him break through the second ring, and anything else is fine.

Su Nan looked at the priests with surprised smiles on their faces. It seemed that he had successfully infiltrated this temple.

It would be too slow for him to find resources by himself. Directly showing 'talent' and letting the temple mistakenly think that he is a genius, and he will be able to understand this world through this temple.
