Franka tried five times, changed to five different spirit creatures, and all of them were successfully summoned, but none of the spirit creatures were willing to sign a contract with her to become her messenger.
This caused her to suffer a "huge" blow, and her whole body became a little dazed, unabashedly showing her loss and frustration.
However, she was still sensible, and she didn't insist on trying, summoning all the remaining twenty-four spirit creatures again.
The current situation is already very telling:
If you can succeed, you will succeed in the first two or three times!
Jane Na glanced at the lost Franka:
"Try again when your sequence is higher."
"When the sequence is higher, I may be able to use the mirror and the mirror world to convey the message, what messenger do I need?" Franka muttered, "Why aren't there spirit creatures who are tempted by the charm of 'witches' and voluntarily become messengers?"
Lumian smiled:
"I saw something similar in the previous spiritual creature data, do you want to give it a try?"
Franka just refused to admit defeat in his mouth, but in fact he was very sober, and said with a grin when he heard the words:
"Forget it, forget it, this kind of spirit creature must be very dangerous, all I think about is dragging the 'witch' into the spirit world, and sending a letter will help me turn my friend into an enemy."
Seeing that she calmed down, Anthony, who was also a novice in ritual magic. Red began his own attempt.
He also tried five times, failed two summons, and failed to sign the contract three times.
"It seems that I can't have a messenger for the time being." Anthony smiled slightly bitterly.
This eased Franka's emotions a lot:
She is not the only one who has failed.
"Which one do you want to summon?" She asked Lumian curiously.
"The coolest one." Lumian re-sanctified the ritual silver dagger with an indifferent face, once again creating a "spiritual wall".
Looking at the burning candle, he took two steps back, alternating between the ancient Hermetic and Hermetic languages:
"Me!
"I call in my name:
"Creatures that roam the upper world, penitents awakened from the flames of suffering, friendly people polluted by darkness."
This summoning spell is the most unique one in the information given by Ms. "Magician" this time, firstly, it is not a "spirit that roams the upper world", but a "creature that roams the upper world", which means that the target is not limited to spirits, and secondly, the last two paragraphs of the description have both encounters and characteristics.
Lumian felt that its temperament and style were quite good, and he planned to try it first, anyway, all he wanted was a creature that could travel through the spirit world, and he didn't care about other situations, so why not choose the coolest one?
As the incantation was recited, the candle swelled and became dyed in a dark green and almost black color.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and a figure emerged.
It was a tall "human" wearing clothes similar to the clergy robes of the "Eternal Sun" church, but dark in color.
His bare face, neck, and arms seemed to have been burned by the flames for a long time, leaving only bones and a thin layer of charred flesh and blood clinging to the bones, his eye sockets were completely hollow, dark and faint, with dark flames acting as his eyes, and strange black flames as thick as water remained in many places on his body, which were burning quietly, leaving the spirit in pain all the time.
Lumian looked at the "penitent" and asked in ancient Hermitage:
"Will you be my messenger?"
"The Confessor" returns to the source of the languages of the northern continent, the ancient Fusak:
"If you don't worry about being implicated by me and slowly slipping into the depths of darkness, then I can help you deliver a letter."
Don't ask for compensation, but there are hidden dangers? Since the "magician" lady gave the information of the "confessor", it means that I can bear it...... Lumian, who had too many occult "debts" to worry about, smiled and said:
"It depends on whether you and that darkness can win the tug-of-war.
"No problem, I was mentally prepared for this before summoning you."
This time, he switched to Gufusak to communicate with the other party, after all, it was quite troublesome to say so many words in Guhemis, which could leverage the power of nature.
Soon, he drew up a contract and wrote the four occult descriptions representing the witnesses of the underworld.
Reflected in the ancient Hermetic words that burned with a miserable green flame, Lumian fixed the summoning spell in the form of a clause:
"The creatures that roam the upper world, the penitents who awaken from the flames of pain, belong only to Lumian. Lee's messenger."
Lumian didn't use code names like Jane and "Knight of Swords", after all, people who know his messenger may not need to know that he is the Minor Arcana card of the "Tarot Society" - this is a senior undercover self-cultivation, and Lumian. It doesn't matter if Li's name and corresponding origin are known.
After writing his name, he saw a tawny parchment fly to the "confessor" in a black robe.
The "Confessor" signed his name:
Bayinfell.
The pale green flames suddenly became one, turning the contract into ashes and blending into the spirit world.
"What are you repenting about?" Lumian curiously asked his messenger, "Penitent" Baynfell.
Bayinfel didn't answer, and watched in silence as a sticky black flame fall from his body and burrow into the soil.
Lumian asked a few more questions in a row, and the other party remained silent.
"Very good, all barbers should learn from you." Lumian laughed and ended the summons.
After he lifted the "spiritual wall", Franka looked over with a mournful face:
"Succeed in one go?"
"It was a success in one go." Lumian didn't show any joy, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.
"Why, why are Anthony and I not welcomed by spirit creatures, why?" Franka sighed while finding it difficult to let go.
Seeing Franka like this, the "ascetic" Lumian wanted to walk up to her, raise his right hand, and snap her on the head.
It makes you want to be bullied!
He thought for a moment and said:
"I probably understand the reason, becoming a Minor Arcana card of the 'Tarot Society' only increases the probability of success in summoning special spirit creatures.
"But if you want special spirit creatures to favor, recognize, or obey, you must either have a higher personality, or have a special path, or have substantial things related to Mr. 'Fool', such as Jane's lucky gold coin, and Mr. Fool's power in me."
Speaking of this, Lumian suddenly had an association:
If this is the reason, then does the "Knight of Swords" who also have messengers have something similar?
"So that's how it is!" Franka swept away the decadentness and regained her confidence.
It's not that she has a problem, it's just that there are some "props" missing!
She then looked at Jane and hesitated to borrow the Lucky Gold Coin to complete the messenger contract.
In the end, Franka gave up this idea, because the difference between "her own" and "borrowed" was still quite big in occultism, and if she asked Jane to give it directly and give it back in the future, she was afraid that she would lack the opportunity and couldn't afford it.
Shout...... Franka exhaled and was about to ask Lumian when he planned to leave Trier and how to leave, but found that the companion was inexplicably silent, and his expression was a little depressed.
"What's wrong?" Franka asked with concern.
"It's nothing." Lumian shook his head.
He just suddenly remembered that Aurore had also longed to have a messenger.
Anthony glanced at him without saying anything, and Jane brought up the request of the "Purifier" deacon Angoulême and asked Lumian if he wanted to sell the "Arrogant Armor" to the officials.
Lumian was silent for two seconds and laughed in a low voice:
"Let's talk about it later."
"Arrogant Armor" is dangerous, but also very powerful, can threaten all extraordinary people who do not push open the door of the demigods, if they need to wear it, they have a chance to kill "Loki" and other core members of "April Fool's Day", Lumian will not hesitate to wear it, willing to bear all the consequences for it.
Before killing all those bastards, or before his own strength is enough to use the "Arrogant Armor", Lumian will not give up this seal because of danger.
"Okay." Franka asked, "Are you leaving Trier tomorrow? Take a boat, take a steam train, or ask the 'magician' lady for the coordinates of the spirit world and 'teleport' it directly?"
Lumian smiled:
"It's possible, and we'll decide tomorrow.
"Let's see what fate will arrange."
"How do you learn to be nagging......" Franka muttered.
…………
After bidding farewell to his three companions, Lumian put on silver-white "Lies" ear clips, adjusted his hair color and appearance, and entered the chaotic streets along Market Avenue to the speakeasy of the Golden Rooster Hotel.
It seems that this place has not been affected by last night's disaster, and the guests who often come to drink are still sitting in their familiar seats, or singing loudly, or dancing around the small round table, or playing some gambling games with wine as prizes.
Charlie, who had changed into a black coat, stood at one of the small round tables, waving the bottle of beer and said happily:
"You may not know that Charles and I Dubois is a friend, not the kind of friend who has drunk a few times, but a friend who has experienced life and death together!
"Look, look, his current bounty amount has been updated to 6 Fairkin! What a huge amount!"
Are you quite proud of me...... Lumian said "huh", sat down at the bar, and asked for a glass of absinthe.
He listened to the hustle and soul here, felt the excitement here, and quietly tasted the bitter spirit.
The owner Pavar wiping his wine glass. Nissen saw that it was a new face, and asked with a smile:
"Just came to the market area?"
"Yes." Lumian replied in a low voice.
Pawar. Neeson said gently:
"You look like you have a story."
Lumian sighed, took a sip of the dreamy "Green Fairy", and laughed self-deprecatingly:
"I'm a loser......"
