Chapter 8 Messenger Ceremony

Looking at the altar with candles, silver bowls and other items, Anthony asked with some worry and uncertainty: "Can we really have our own messenger?"

His current occult knowledge and experience tell him that "messengers" are very rare. Only extraordinary people with special paths who have reached a certain sequence or have high status with divinity can have this kind of messenger that can contact them at any time and can contact them at any time.

Special contracted creatures summoned by others.

Franka smiled and said: "Other extraordinary people can't do it, but we still have a chance.

"Having a messenger requires three prerequisites. One is to understand the creatures in the spirit world, know which ones can be messengers, what characteristics they have, and what kind of spell can be designed to summon them more accurately. The other is that the creature in the spirit world is willing to respond.

Summon, and it does not exclude signing a contract with you and becoming your messenger. Third, there is a unique undead contract and the gods who witness this contract to constrain the behavior of both parties and clarify their respective responsibilities.

"Look, these three items don't limit the paths and sequences. They just have implicit constraints on them, but there are ways to get around them.

"For ordinary extraordinary people, the most difficult thing is the first one. Under normal circumstances, they don't have such a full understanding of the creatures in the spiritual world. They are trembling when they occasionally summon one. They are afraid that the spell's direction will be unclear and one can kill it.

They also want to kill their whole family's monsters. Maybe as time goes by, they can rely on the notes and experiences of their predecessors to accumulate some relatively reliable summoning spells, but most of them have nothing to do with the messenger.

"We are different. We are members of the Tarot Society. We have Ms. Magician, an expert on spiritual world creatures. As you have seen before, Charles has a bunch of information on spiritual world creatures. Ms. Magician is

This time, we also selected thirty kinds of spiritual world creatures that were suitable to be messengers and had a certain willingness to be messengers of extraordinary beings, and we directly skipped the most difficult level.

"Otherwise, the simplest example is that the speed at which spiritual creatures can 'travel through the spiritual world' is different. Some messengers can run from southern Intis to Trier in just a few minutes, while others can take more than ten minutes.

It can take up to half an hour, and some may take half a day or a day. If you don’t know anything clearly, what’s the point of signing a courier that takes half a year or even a year?”

"My name is no longer Charles Dubois." After Franca finished explaining some knowledge to Anthony and Jenna, who were beginners in the world of occultism, Lumian reminded her specifically.

Franka laughed dryly: "Isn't this a habit? When I met you, you were called Charles, and you have been calling me Charles for several months."

She continued: "We also have a way to bypass the second premise. Normally, we need extraordinary people such as 'corpse collectors' who are compatible with the undead and other creatures in the spirit world to make them willing to be summoned and it is possible to sign a contract.

The messenger contract, when it reaches the level of 'Necromancer', can even semi-force the target to become one's messenger. Without such specialness, one can often only rely on personality to suppress and overwhelm.

"And we are following Mr. Fool. You have all heard the church's holy scriptures. You should know that Mr. Fool is the great master who controls the spiritual world. Strictly speaking, all spiritual creatures are under his control.

As members of the 'Tarot Society', it will definitely be a lot easier for us to summon spiritual creatures and sign messenger contracts with them, especially Charles, er, Lumian, who has the power of Mr. Fool. Look at him

Have you ever failed to summon spiritual creatures before? At best, it was vague, and what came was not what you wanted.

"The third premise is that Ms. 'Magician' has given Lumian a special necromantic contract, which was specially prepared for the messenger. The witness was originally supposed to be the God of Death, but he can use an angel from the underworld or the necromantic realm.

Instead, there is an 'Angel of Death' next to Mr. Fool's throne, he is the Archon of the Underworld!

"Actually, I think it's okay to just use Mr. Fool's honorary name. Do the creatures in the spiritual world still want to obey the orders of the great master who controls the spiritual world?"

The information given by Ms. "Magician" contains a four-paragraph description of the underworld, which can be written as a witness.

Jenna and Anthony listened very carefully and attentively. This occult knowledge is quite precious, and part of it can be used to explain many problems in ordinary summoning rituals.

After Franka finished her job as a teacher, Lumian took out the stack of carefully selected information on spiritual world creatures and said to Janna: "You come first."

"Me?" Jenna pointed to herself with a confused and surprised look on her face.

She is a complete novice in the summoning ceremony.

Lumian smiled and said: "You have that lucky gold coin. According to Ms. Magician, it has a certain connection with Mr. Fool and is equivalent to his token. This will make you better than Franka and Anthony."

It is more likely to summon specific creatures and complete the messenger contract.

"The probability of success between you and me should be about the same, but I have a lot of messy things on my body. I'm afraid that it will cause changes and ruin the rest of the attempts tonight, so I will be the last one."

Jenna thought about it carefully and felt that what Lumian said made sense.

She muttered, took the information, and turned to the page she had chosen before.

The record was about a spiritual creature that she was relatively familiar with: the "Rabbit of Knowledge".

Of course, this is not an ordinary "Rabbit of Knowledge". An ordinary "Rabbit of Knowledge" cannot be a messenger. This is a "Rabbit of Knowledge" that has absorbed certain knowledge and undergone special mutations.

Jenna had a good impression of the "Knowledge Rabbit". She thought it was friendly and willing to help humans, so she chose it from the beginning.

Of course, another reason is that she thinks the "Rabbit of Knowledge" is cute and it's quite interesting to be dumbfounded.

Jenna pulled out the page of information, entered the altar, recalled Franka's teachings and the occult knowledge that came with the "witch" potion, and quickly sanctified the ritual silver dagger, creating a "spiritual wall".

After completing all the preliminary preparations, she took two steps back, looked at the candlelight, and uttered a short and powerful word in ancient Hermetic: "Me!"

Immediately afterwards, she switched to Hermes:

"I summon in my name: "The rabbit-shaped spirit that wanders in illusion, the friendly creature that can communicate, the runner who pursues knowledge."

In this mantra, the original "weak one" was changed to "runner" to point to the special "rabbit of knowledge".

The candlelight suddenly turned dark green and expanded to the size of a human head.

A transparent creature resembling a rabbit walked out of the dim green candlelight.

Its eyes are not as dull as those of other "knowledge rabbits". Instead, they shine with wisdom, and it holds a vague book with an orange-red cover in its hand.

Its legs are strong and powerful, and it looks like it can run very well.

Jian Na successfully summoned her for the first time, and she was very happy.

She asked in ancient Hermetic with some trepidation: "Will you be my messenger?"

The mutated "Rabbit of Knowledge" glanced at Janna and asked in Intis language: "Have you ever called my kindred fools and idiots before?"

"No." Jian Na said sincerely, "I occasionally swear, but it's not directed at anyone, it's just an expression of emotion."

Occasionally, Lumian laughed at Jenna in his heart.

The mutated "Rabbit of Knowledge" carefully observed Jenna and somehow confirmed that she was not lying.

Of course, this may just be a process. It is enough to have an answer that is not scolded. It does not matter whether it is true or false.

The rabbit nodded up and down and said: "You need to pay me. Every time you call me, you need to give me a book or knowledge of equal weight. This can be given by you, or the person who writes to you can bear it."

Is this agreed? I've scolded you before, so I can't summon this rabbit as a messenger? I can't summon it either. There should be only one special "rabbit of knowledge" that develops in the direction of a messenger... Lumian knows "knowledge"

"Rabbit" is easy to talk to, but I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.

Jenna glanced at the information placed on the edge of the altar. There was a line of prompts on it: "The knowledge you feed the 'Rabbit of Knowledge' determines what it will become in the future."

Will showing it more postman books improve its consciousness and ability as a messenger? Jian Na murmured in her heart and answered: "No problem, let's sign a contract."

Following the template given by the "Magician" lady, she quickly wrote the contract on the tawny parchment with the dark red absorbent pen on the altar, including the remuneration just agreed upon.

This is composed of ancient Hermetic language. Every word seems to be connected with nature and the power of the spiritual world. Jenna relied on her usual study and the knowledge attached to the "witch" potion to master this extraordinary skill in the shortest time.

language.

Immediately afterwards, Jenna wrote a mystical description corresponding to the underworld: "The destination of all death, the hell hidden deep in the spiritual world, the witness of the mortality of all things, belongs exclusively to the kingdom of Death."

As she wrote, she saw those ancient Hermetic words burning with dark green flames, and the original ones were no exception.

Finally, Jenna recalled Lumian's previous reminder and specifically used a clause to fix the summoning spell as "

The rabbit-shaped spirit wandering in illusion, the runner pursuing knowledge, is the unique messenger of the Seven of Cups."

She still does not use her real name because she is worried that she will be betrayed in the future and her original identity will be investigated by someone who knows her messenger summoning spell, which will implicate her brother Julian.

After scanning the contract and confirming that there were no problems, Jian Na wrote and signed her code name.

The parchment floated up and flew towards the mutated "Rabbit of Knowledge".

The "Rabbit of Knowledge" picked up another pen and wrote his name: "Xiazo Savio."

"You still have your own name?" Lumian was a little surprised.

He is also within the "spiritual wall".

"I picked it myself after reading a book, and it is now my name." As Xia Zuotu answered, the green flames on the parchment connected together, burning the contract into ashes and turning it into an invisible force.

.

Jian Na breathed a sigh of relief without concealing it, and after chatting with Xia Zuotu for a few more words, she said: "Me!

"I end this call in my name."

Xia Zuotu returned to the spiritual world, and Franka eagerly watched the "spiritual wall" lift and walked into the altar area.

Jenna's success so easily made her confident in herself.

However, she failed shamefully.
