Chapter 69 Summon the Resentful Spirit (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
It was already eleven o'clock at night when Lucian left the Hall of Psalms, and only sporadic lights could be seen nearby, as well as the emptiness of most of the carriages in the dark.
Although the harvest moon is hot during the day, as long as it rains, it will be very cool at night, blown by this clear night wind, Lucian couldn't help but cheer up, from the joy of Victor's concert success and the surprise of Kintale, while strolling and thinking: "It seems that I will leave the Adjean area in a short time, I must first deal with the laboratory to avoid being found by the homeless and other problems after it is vacant, and I also need to summon the ghosts as soon as possible, preferably tonight! I will start concentrating on buying moonshine roses tomorrow."
Moonlight rose is a magical plant that assists knights and attendants to stimulate the power of blood, its own growth has very strict requirements for the environment, the yield is not high, plus becoming a knight is the poor, the best way for ordinary people to leap into the aristocratic class, there are many people who need it, so even if the price is expensive, it is often in short supply, and even the nobility can completely digest it, ordinary people can only rely on luck or even more outrageous prices to buy it from the black market, and the best way is to become a knight's attendant, and after the ability to stimulate the power of the bloodline, Get a reward from the knight.
The Moonlight Rose resources of the Principality of Vaorit are concentrated in the hands of the church, the Violet family and several other major families, in addition to their high rank and strong family knights, which is one of the reasons why they are the most powerful large family in the Principality of Vaorit.
Therefore, Lucian hit the idea on Phyllis, she is a member of the Hain family, the niece of Count Hayne, although her father failed to stimulate the power of the bloodline even with the assistance of magical drugs such as moonlight roses, and failed in the struggle for the title, and had a poor relationship with Count Hayne, but it did not prevent her from having this qualification to buy moonlight roses within the family.
In fact, Phyllis had already bought it, but after failing to stimulate the blood power three times, she could only concentrate on the road of music.
"The question is how to convince her? And how to dispel her suspicions about me buying moonlight roses!"
Lucian walked down the steps of the Hall of Psalms with a faint annoyance, the last time he was stopped by the night watchman, Lucian had lingering fears, and he had to speed up his strength.
At the entrance of the Hall of Psalms, there were only two ordinary carriages parked there, and Joel was flushed and talking to Alyssa, John and Alina about what he had always thought Lucian was very talented in music.
Seeing Lucian coming, Joel laughed and stretched out his hands, hugging Lucian firmly: "Little Evans, your dream of being a musician, my dream of the Hall of Songs has come true, it was a dreamy night. You are your father and our pride."
Although Joel only joked that Lucian had a dream of becoming a musician before, since Lucian began to study music with Victor, Joel felt that Lucian probably really wanted to become a musician.
After Lucian was hugged, he couldn't help but feel secretly embarrassed: "Can you not hug me, I'm really not used to this kind of etiquette, how good is a handshake!"
After Joel finished hugging, John also gave Lucian a hug, he was a little excited, and his strength seemed to be great: "Lucian, you are really a musical genius, I am proud of you. I thought I would become a knight first."
Hearing this, Lucian's heart moved slightly, maybe he could use John as a reason to ask Phyllis to buy moonlight roses, after all, after success, he still wanted to help his benefactor and help his good friends stimulate the power of the bloodline, which is always appreciated.
And Lucian originally had this plan, that is, after he had a certain amount of wealth, he would work hard to buy moonlight roses to help John become a knight, because since the time travel, the Joel family was like real relatives to him, and after he went through several things, the same was true. In my mind, their position is more important than Victor.
The only question is what to use to persuade Phyllis, money, or anything?
"I'm just starting out, wait at least two or three years before I can be called a musician, maybe John, you can soon stimulate your blood power to become a knight." Lucian replied to John with a smile.
John shook his head and let go of Lucian: "I have just become a high-ranking knight attendant, and I have started learning characters, and I am not in a hurry to get promoted.
Stimulating the power of the bloodline, the first time is the highest success rate, and then it will drop every time, and after three times, unless you get several special potions with great sequelae, you will never succeed.
Elena stood aside and saw Lucian and John separated, so she stepped forward and hugged Lucian, smiling, "Congratulations on your success, Lucian, no, it's time to call you Mr. Evans."
"We are friends, don't be so formal, otherwise I won't guide you in music learning." Lucian responded jokingly.
Although there are city gates from the administrative district to the Adjang district, they are generally not closed, but guarded by soldiers.
…………
Lying on the bed, all emotions calmed down, Lucian waited until after one o'clock in the morning before getting up suddenly, and after carefully checking it, he entered his magic laboratory silently.
It took an hour for Lucian to carve out several magic traps with a sterling silver dagger on the table with many special alchemy circles, and then took out a tube of dark red blood from the box in the corner where he had been saved by the "Organ Preservation" magic, and at the same time opened the magic notebook on the table next to him and in the soul library, so that he could record the affairs of the ghosts at any time.
Obtaining the Wraith Dust is Lucian's main purpose, but it is also normal to study this undead creature by the way, and it is close to a soul, and the study of it will help Lucian enhance his own soul and understand necromancy.
When the glass test tube engraved with magic runes was opened, a strong smell of sulfur floated out, and the dark red blood rolled out bright red bubbles from time to time like magma.
Lucian recited a difficult spell, his spiritual power connected with a certain otherworld, and then sprinkled the devil's blood forward.
The dark red blood stopped in mid-air eerily and differentiated into drops of blood at an incredible speed.
This drop of blood quickly formed a small, magic circle full of blood and evil flavors, and suddenly evaporated.
In the light red blood mist, a transparent figure suddenly appeared, its hands, feet and face were very blurred, only the thick resentment and viciousness could be clearly felt and even seen.
Although he still doesn't understand the principle of space here, the structure of apprentice-level magic is relatively simple, and Lucian has gone through many virtual exercises, and "summoning low-level undead" has been a smooth success.
As soon as the transparent figure, whose face was almost unclear, appeared, it opened its mouth, seemed to let out a sharp and harsh cry, and suddenly pounced on Lucian, as if he felt the breath of life that he hated and hated.
Lucian didn't panic at all, the magic trap activated, and the air around the ghost became disordered, restraining it like a rope.
This is the "Spirit Binding" apprentice-level magic dedicated to binding spirits, but it has a corresponding advanced version, which can transform the knight into an undead creature called a spirit bound corpse, and gain undead characteristics while retaining its original strength and intelligence.
At the same time as the scream came out, a transparent circular wall appeared around the ghost, and sound ripples could be seen vibrating on it.
The trap "Silenced Barrier" arranged by apprentice-level magic.
Because the screams of the ghosts were canceled out by the silenced barriers, Lucian did not make direct contact, but he still felt a wave of nausea, a slight feeling of vomiting, and "heard" a screaming sound in a trance.
"The screams of the ghosts have a certain intensity but not high infrasound, which is highly penetrating and has a certain amount of damage to the human body, so it cannot be heard directly." Lucian held back his discomfort and instantly recorded the attack characteristics of the wraiths on the magic notes in the soul library, "The sound of this frequency seems to be able to cause mental hallucinations, and feel that you have 'heard' the wraith screaming, which is a bit special, and you need to note down the approximate fluctuation frequency range."
Due to the limited strength and equipment, many things Lucian could not accurately quantify.
The spirit body was restrained, screaming and neutralized by the muffling barrier, and the resentful spirit struggled in place helplessly, becoming more and more crazy.
Lucian was unmoved, allowing it to baring its teeth and claws in front of him, activating the alchemy array on the table, and golden lights lit up one after another.
"Weight, 21.26 grams, heavy, more than expected." Lucian recorded the data measured by the alchemy array expressionlessly, "The power cannot be measured......"
After recording the basic data, Lucian began to chant spells, cast apprentice-level magic on the wraith, and record the effect.
"The mage's hand penetrates directly and cannot touch the spirit body."
"Acid sputtering has no effect."
"Frost rays have no effect."
"Homanz's choking, the transparent body of the Wraith Spirit has a certain fluctuation, causing a small amount of damage, and it is initially suspected that the cause is wave interference or magnetic field disorder."
"Maris' small flame has a small effect, and the reason cannot be determined."
One by one, apprentice-level magic was cast, and Lucian preliminarily evaluated the effect and speculated on the reason.
The resentful spirit, on the other hand, gradually lost its craziness as before, and became more transparent, as if it was afraid of Lucian, shrinking into the trap of spirit-binding magic.
Lucian looked at the resentful spirit's reaction and continued to record calmly: "A small amount of instinct remains."
Then Lucian used pure illumination apprentice-level magic such as light brightening and light dance, and saw that under their light, the resentful spirit became agitated and wanted to dodge, but it was bound and could not be avoided, so in the light, its resentment and malice disappeared little by little, but the speed of dissipation was very slow, not as good as the church's light attack.
"The wraith of this level is very afraid of bright light."
"There seems to be a slight change in weight, but the alchemy array in primary alchemy cannot be measured."
…………
After doing the various experiments he had prepared, Lucian looked at the resentful spirit that was almost curled up in a ball, shook his head and smiled, "You are relieved."
Until now, Lucian had the illusion that he was destroying national-level protected creatures.
After a few strong light magics were cast, the ghosts that had already been seriously injured completely disappeared, and a little transparent, shimmering dust slowly drifted into the magic trap.
If it was a sudden encounter, Lucian really didn't know if he could successfully kill a ghost, but when prepared, magic was always the most powerful, and he killed the ghost so easily and simply.
The dust completely fell, and Lucian recorded the data: "21.25 grams, considering the error of the alchemy array, it is difficult to judge whether it is consistent and whether the consciousness of the resentful spirit has weight."
After recording the experiment, Lucian collected the ghost dust into a glass test tube, and then slowly made some preparations for dismantling his laboratory, and gathered some of the utensils and items.
…………
At the beginning of the service the next day, Lucian got up and walked to the Musicians Association, and he had become Princess Natasha's temporary music advisor, and he was obviously no longer suitable to continue his job as a librarian, and the concert income had to be collected from the association.
