Chapter 637: Secondary Oath Binding

After working all night, Joan felt a little tired, so he bid farewell to Captain McQuay and went back to his cabin to catch up on the "cage sleep".

Thanks to the magical effect of the "life-support ring", Joan's sleep efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people. After only two hours of sleep, he sat up from the hammock, stretched his waist, and felt refreshed and full of energy. abundant.

It was just getting bright outside the window, and it was almost six o'clock in the morning.

Joan prepared the spell in the cabin first, and was about to go to the restaurant for dinner, when he suddenly remembered something, he went back to the desk, picked up a pen and dipped in ink, and drew the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the colored conch.

This conch has been physically restored by Joan, but its magical function cannot be repaired so easily.

Fortunately, Joan doesn't expect the conch to restore its magic power. As long as the spell structure attached to the conch is generally intact, he can analyze it with the help of Ansuz runes, so as to satisfy his curiosity, thirst for knowledge, and collection addiction.

When the leader of the Shahua pirates blew the conch to summon the hammer claw, Joan suspected that the conch was attached to a certain "calling" spell. The spell "Less Otherworldly Oath Binding".

The function of this spell is very simple. The caster can call otherworldly creatures to him to provide services.

What is the specific service and whether payment is required? The caster can negotiate with the creature, and the result of the negotiation varies from person to person.

The so-called "otherworldly creatures" is actually a very broad concept. The four elements of water, fire, wind, and earth, the devils in hell, and the demons in the abyss are of course all well-known alien creatures.

So, can ordinary humans and animals be summoned as "creatures from another world"?

sure!

There are endless planes in the multiverse, and each plane contains endless heavens (worlds), which are considered "other worlds".

The "Vares Sky" where Joan lives is like a drop of water in the endless ocean. It is not special. From the perspective of probability, creatures that exist in the world of Vales may also exist in other worlds. World Creatures" calling.

From this point of view, "otherworldly creatures" are equal to any creatures.

If you only look at the effectiveness of spells, there seems to be no difference between the "Level Oath from Another World" and various "Monster Summoning" and "Natural Ally Summoning". However, people who really understand the principles of magic, such as Joan, But can deeply understand the huge difference between the two.

"Summoning system" and "summoning system" belong to two subcategories under the "School of Conjuration". Although there is only one word difference, they are two completely different concepts.

A typical representative of summoning spells, such as "Monster Summoning", the summoned monster is actually a projection made of magic power, does not have a unique identity and personality, and will not leave a corpse after death, and its existence has a time limit .

Once the summoning time expires, or is killed, the summoned creature will automatically decompose into disordered original magic power, return to the embrace of the magic net, and cast a spell next time, and the summoned creature will be a brand new magic power creature.

The caster has absolute control over the summoned creatures, and can order the summoned creatures to serve him without payment.

As for the monster "called" by the spell, it is not a manifestation of magic power, but a real individual with a unique identity and personality. It is necessary to know its name in order to reach a stable calling contract: it is it that is called by the spell this time. , It will still be summoned next time, whether the caster's attitude towards it is good or bad, it will remember it in its heart, and will adjust the negotiation attitude and even the amount of remuneration accordingly, just like the communication between people.

If the summoned creature dies, the caster loses the ally forever, and even if another creature of the same kind can be summoned, the identity and personality are different. It's like finding a new partner after an old colleague leaves the company. The original way of getting along with the old colleague may not be applicable to the new partner.

Comparing this way, "Summoning Creatures" seems to be more troublesome and risky than "Summoning Creatures", so isn't it very impractical to use spells like "Level Oath Binding"?

That's unlikely.

Summoning creatures is indeed very convenient, but the time it can serve the caster is very short, only a few minutes, at most they are used as thugs, and it is difficult to undertake time-consuming and complicated tasks.

Although the summoned creature has a bad temper and often asks for rewards, there is no time limit. Once a cooperative transaction is negotiated, it will continue to serve the caster until the agreed work is completed.

In addition, the summoning spells are very limited. The specific monsters that can be summoned are written in black and white in the spell configuration. There are very few varieties for the caster to choose from, and the strength can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

For summoning spells, the restrictions are much smaller. As long as it does not exceed the magic power level of the spell itself, you can call any creature you want.

There are so many species in the world, plus there are hundreds of millions of species on all planes of the multiverse, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't call. This kind of extreme freedom can never be achieved by summoning spells.

Since there are more options to choose from, it stands to reason that under the premise of the same spell level, the summoned creatures are often stronger, smarter, and more dangerous than the summoned creatures.

For example, the act of calling the abyssal demon is tantamount to death, and the caster will often be swallowed alive by the violent demon he summoned, and end up in the tragic end of playing with fire and setting himself on fire.

Joan carefully read the "Secondary Alien Binding" parsed from the conch shell, and then wrote this 4-ring spell into his spell book.

Although he is still unable to learn 4th-level spells, it is still necessary to reserve the "Level Otherworld Oath Binding" in advance, and its significance is not just as simple as saving a fee for borrowing spell scrolls.

As a direct disciple of "Father of the Scarecrow" Robert Rawls, and also has "Golem Notebook" written by the Cloud Giant Archmage Vavrunil in his hand, Joan's understanding of "construction" is even better than those He is a mage with a higher level than him, but he is still unable to practice the theoretical knowledge he has mastered by himself. The obstacles mainly come from two aspects.

The first is the lack of money, unable to buy construction materials; the second is the lack of knowledge reserve, and has not fully mastered the spells needed to make the construct - the most critical and most commonly used is the "Oath from Otherworld" type of spell .

Take the manufacture of a golem as an example, first of all, it needs to provide a "soul" for the golem, which usually refers to the elemental essence sealed in the golem's body.

Joan doesn't have a "soul-binding bottle" like Rawls' mentor. He can only cast spells to call elemental creatures to come to him, persuade the other party to parasitize in the golem's body, and make it active. In the process, he needs to use the "other world Oath to bind" spells.

The 4th level "Secondary Alien Binding" is the lowest level of this type of spell. At most, it can summon a large elemental creature to make a relatively simple construct.

With the improvement of the mage level, Qiao An will have the opportunity to learn the 6th ring "Alien Oath Binding" and the 8th ring "Advanced Alien Oath Binding", which can summon higher-level elemental creatures. The constructs made by elemental creatures will also be more powerful, including various golems and even legendary colossi.
