In the evening, at Snow's house, in front of a low table, Snow had prepared a ritual to summon spiritual creatures.
He had no idea of summoning a messenger like a young lady or a demigod. In other words, the spell he would use to summon the messenger had actually been decided long ago.
Take out a bottle of expensive "amber" men's perfume and lightly spray it. At the same time, you mobilize the power of white horse and non-horse, equating the perfume with vanilla and essential oil, and then twist it into "a smell that can please all living things."
This is not because Snow is reluctant to part with the money for the essential oils and hydrosols, but this is his method for screening the objects of summoning.
He distorted the scope of the ritual by saying, "Spiritual creatures can be pleased by specific herbs and essential oils. There are herbs and essential oils in perfume, so perfume can please spiritual creatures." Such a statement distorts the scope of the ritual, but at the same time, this distortion also means
Therefore, the targets he attracts are all entities that can be affected by the ability of "stealing concepts".
Those who are not affected will not be attracted by the informal ritual of perfume, and will not appear.
In other words, Snow can use this method to exclude all spiritual creatures that are not affected by the "stealing concept" ability from the summon list, which indirectly ensures that he will not accidentally summon someone who cannot be dealt with.
and fall into danger.
After making these preparations, he took out a contract paper worth two hundred gold pounds. This paper looked no different from an ordinary A4 paper, but in the lower right corner of it, there was a golden emblem with a sun symbol drawn on it - that
It is the imprint left by Mr. Eye of Wisdom using magical items from the sun field, and it is also the source of the power of this contract paper.
When everything was ready, Snow took a step back and recited in ancient Hermes:
"I!"
"I call in my name!"
"A spirit that wanders in illusion, a friendly creature that can be trended, a speedster beyond imagination."
Yes, it is this string of incantations, the incantations used by Mr. Ke in the original work.
As the ancient and peculiar syllables of the ancient Hermetic language rippled in the spiritually closed space, a gloomy wind appeared out of thin air, the swaying candlelight was dyed with a layer of gloomy green, and a deep cold feeling also spread.
And at this moment, a blurry figure suddenly rushed out, almost too fast to be captured by the naked eye.
But Snow was already prepared. The prepaid [Pavlov's Dog] ability was triggered. Almost at the same time when he saw the shadow, his preset conditioned reflex was activated, and he threw it out of his hand almost simultaneously.
A penny coin with the "∞" symbol engraved on it.
"The flying arrow will not move!"
When the ancient Hermetic mantra was recited, a strange force distorted the rules in the closed space, and everything became stuck. Objectively speaking, the high-speed moving spirit body was still very fast at this time, but its
It's fast but it seems to be completely split apart, causing every moment of movement to feel like it's still.
To be precise, it is still moving at a speed that is difficult for humans and even many high-level beings to capture, but as long as Snow wants to observe it, he will definitely be able to capture the moment when it "stands still".
This weird sense of distortion startled the high-speed moving spirit body. It tried its best to complete its acceleration, but all it did was leave more of its "static" self in this space.
.
And Sinuo finally saw its true appearance.
First of all, this is a typical spirit body. The whole body is translucent blue-grey. At first glance, it looks a bit like a snake with an arrow-like head. But if you look closely, you can find that it actually has its hands connected to its body.
Both sides.
Its body length is close to three meters. Although it is snake-shaped and slender, looking at the two arms that are similar to human hands, it should not be a problem to hold a high school student's schoolbag - I just don't know if it will affect the speed.
"Dodo dodo!"
As if it really couldn't adapt to the stuck state at this time, this spiritual creature that didn't know what to call it made a pitiful sound, and looked at Snow pitifully with a pair of pale golden eyes.
"I hope to find a messenger, are you willing? Well, the messenger is to help me deliver things to others, or bring things back to me from others. Yes, you can't open it secretly, and you can't take it away."
Snow felt the puzzlement conveyed by the other party, and could only explain what kind of job a messenger was, but he felt a burst of curse in his heart. Obviously in the original work, even the guy who looked like a safe knew what a messenger meant.
"Duo Duo!" The spirit body nodded its arrow-shaped head, conveying the idea of "As long as you let me fly, you can do whatever you want."
"Then let's sign the contract. Well, after all, I'm not a devil. What do you want?" Snow picked up the quill and slowly drafted the messenger contract on the contract, but he still raised his head very democratically.
Asked something.
"Duo Duo (don't limit my speed)." The spirit quickly expressed his request. Snow raised his eyebrows and nodded:
"Yes, but when delivering the letter and being summoned, you must stay in front of the target for at least ten seconds. Well, you don't have to stop, but you must at least ensure that the other party can see you. You can ignore this if you are in danger.
"
"Duo Duo (Okay, so let me go quickly)!" The spirit moved awkwardly and quickly in the air, pulling out a series of suspended versions of itself.
"Don't worry, see if there are any problems. If there are no problems, just sign the contract." Snow also wrote this paragraph into the contract, and then checked all the details to make sure that there were no obvious loopholes, and then added "The Traveler from Distant Space and Time"
"The contradictory spiral of logic and wisdom; the reflection of knowledge, the backside of truth" is written in the position of "Contract Witness".
As the name was written, the sun mark in the lower right corner of the contract suddenly emitted a burst of light, and then transformed into the emblem of the mysterious eye with infinite double pupils.
At the moment when the emblem changed, the blue-gray spirit body obviously became more honest, but it didn't think too much. Now it just wanted to break free from this weird shackles. After taking a glance at the contract, it left in a hurry.
own spiritual mark.
"I don't know what the messenger means, but I can understand the content of the contract. Ancient Hermes is really a magical language." Snow muttered in his heart, as if he remembered something, and said:
"Do you have a name? What should I call you?"
"Duo Duo (just call me whatever you want, let me go quickly)!"
"Then I'll call you 'Duoduo' from now on." Snow shrugged and wrote his spiritual imprint on the paper along with his name.
After a few seconds, the contract paper slowly turned into ashes, and a connection was established between the two. Duoduo blinked with those big pale golden eyes, so cute that he didn't look like a spirit at all.
Feeling the eagerness conveyed by Duoduo, Snow also immediately unlocked the paradox spell, and the space that had been forcibly divided became "continuous" again. Duoduo immediately began to accelerate crazily, as if he wanted to give up the breath he owed before.
Make up for the same.
Snow, who had been completely unable to capture Duoduo's speed, was a little amused by this scene. He simply canceled the summons with a thought. As Duoduo disappeared into the candlelight again, a relaxed smile suddenly appeared on Snow's face -

"Well, there are no demigods, angels or strange licking dogs. It seems that I am not the back-up man of some big boss..."
