Chapter 36 An In-Depth Study of Summoning

He continued to look down. After the description (or conjecture) of the alien dimension, it was Medorian's research experience on summoning spells.

[After a long experiment and study, I finally mastered the correct method of using the summoning spell.

The summoning spell consists of five parts, and each part has its function. According to different arrangements and combinations, the corresponding alien life can be summoned.

It should be noted that the summoning spell must be precise, and a slight mistake may lead to different results, but even the same spell may sometimes summon completely different things, so absolute safety does not exist, but I I have already prepared for this, since I have embarked on this path, I am ready to take any risks...]

Sean carefully read this part several times. The content is not much, but it is very important to the summoning ceremony he will perform next.

According to the book, a summoning spell is composed of five parts.

They are—Introduction, Preface, Prayer, Deed, and Law.

The book also introduces the usefulness of each of these five parts in detail.

Introduction: Determine the world where the creature to be summoned is located and the size of its ability.

For example, the spell he used to summon the fairy in the lake before, ['mysterious existence' from a 'distant country'] is determined, the destination of the summoning is a distant country, and the target of the summoning is a 'mysterious existence' .

Narrative: Describe the appearance, characteristics, abilities possessed by the summoned creature, or some recognizable characteristics. The main function of this spell is to lock the target creature.

It should be noted that in the summoning ceremony, the summoning cannot be completed directly by reading the name of the target creature. According to the book, the name is just a symbol, and the same thing may have completely different meanings in different groups in different worlds. Therefore, it is very dangerous and inaccurate to call directly by name, and it is very likely to cause errors.

Therefore, the specific form of the summoned creature can only be determined by the description of the target. The book also gives two examples. If you want to summon a goblin, it is [ridiculous appearance, green figure, weird dwarf-like appearance] Creatures].

If you want to summon a skeleton warrior, it is [an empty brain, a fragile body, an undead who looks like a human].

In short, you must summarize all the characteristics of this creature to the greatest extent in one sentence, so as to lock the creature you want to summon.

Prayer: Given the conditions given by the summoner to the summoned creature, it determines whether the summoned creature will accept the summon. The content of the prayer is often related to the necessary conditions for the summoning ceremony.

Contract language: Determines the specific form of summoning.If it is for those creatures that have signed a contract with humans, use the name of [in the name of the contract signed between your and my ethnic group and the ancient times. 】

But if you want to summon something you have never seen before, or if you are not sure whether there is a contract, then you must use [in the name of my ××× (summoner’s name)].

Law: Determines the summoner's attitude towards summoned creatures.

If it is a powerful alien creature, and the summoner needs to lower his posture, then use [I 'begg' you to come to this world].

If there is no personality gap between the summoner and the summoned object, it is [I 'summoned' you into this world].

If it is a weak alien creature, it will use [I 'command' you to appear in this world] as the law.

Laws are also very important. If you use the wrong law, it may cause the summoned creature to be angered, or cause unpredictable consequences.

Seeing this, Sean already had a very clear concept of the spell of summoning from another world. This five-part summoning spell feels a bit like writing a program, as long as you enter the corresponding command, you can Combined into different types of summoning spells to summon different alien creatures.

Sean felt a little bit, and continued to look down.

The next part is the necessary conditions for summoning alien creatures.

This point is the same as spells, which must be gradually mastered through reasoning, speculation, groping, and experimentation. There is no possibility of trickery. It is not difficult to imagine that behind every mature summoning ceremony, many failed attempts have been experienced.

Next, it finally came to the part that Sean was most interested in—【The summoning spells that have been mastered. 】

It seems that Medorian should have held this book for a long time. He recorded all the mature and relatively reliable summoning rituals. There are hundreds of summoning spells recorded, including many different spells. alien dimension.

According to Medolian's account, some spells were recorded by his previous summoners, and he confirmed their reliability through experiments, while others were gradually discovered by himself through continuous exploration and experimentation.

Sean looked at the pages of monster illustrations full of pictures and texts, and he couldn't help feeling admiration for Medolian. He was able to successfully complete so many summoning ceremonies. The name has not been handed down, is it because of an accident in a certain summoning ceremony?
Or was the Society of Rationality obliterated from his historical records?
Since there are so many ready-made summoning spells, Sean will not think about creating his own spells for the time being. Being able to master these existing spells is already a very remarkable thing.

After browsing through the alien life and the corresponding summoning ceremony, Xiao En decided to classify these alien life according to their strength level and danger level.

Sean divided them into five levels.

Harmless classification, on the surface there seems to be no threat, and it should not cause danger to the summoner.

The category of monsters is likely to pose a threat to the summoner, but ordinary people still have the possibility of defeating alien life,

Extraordinary classification, with extraordinary power, it is basically difficult for ordinary people to defeat the alien life.

The demon god category, this category of alien creatures basically doesn't need to think about fighting, because there is no possibility of winning, but as long as the necessary conditions are met, they can still communicate with them and even reach some kind of agreement.

Unknown classification, with the current information in Xiao En's hands, it is completely impossible to judge its strength and threat level.

This classification is not very accurate, it is very general, many are classified by Sean based on his own subjective impression, such as the fairy in the lake, if he has not summoned before, it will be classified into the harmless category with a high probability , but now, a proper classification of monsters.

Sean used to record his classification in a notebook, thought about it, and raised several of them by one classification.

Then I set my sights on the harmless classification.

With his current situation, only this type of alien creature is relatively safe.

As for what to summon specifically, Sean also thought for a long time.

For the first summoning, you must choose the safest one, the lower the risk, the better, because it's just for practice, and you don't need to think too much about the benefits.

Most of these otherworldly creatures have unpredictable risks, even if they look beautiful like the fairies in the lake, they are buy one get one free with water monsters attached.

This Medolian didn't know if it was intentional, or if those risks didn't exist for him, so he didn't explain it clearly.

Sean is very suspicious that these seemingly harmless alien creatures also have the pits he buried.

After looking around, Sean finally locked on one of them - the dwarf.

[Dwarf Goblin: Among all the alien creatures I have summoned, this may be the most useless and weakest one I have ever seen.

The dwarf goblin is probably a close relative of the garden goblin, with a gentle personality. Most of the time, it just hides quietly in a corner in a daze. I tried to stimulate it in different ways, but it didn't trigger a special reaction.

I've tried summoning a few times, and all the gnomes seem to have the same personality, with minimal variation between individuals.

The gnomes don't display any magical abilities, which is unusual for a creature from a faraway land, and I haven't found a particular use for it, the only good thing about this creature is that it's more obedient, I let them Help me with chores, they do it every time, but frankly they're no better than my magical servants.

I ordered these gnomes to tend my gardens when I traveled far away, and when I returned they were all gone, most likely dying at the mouth of some nearby beast, I didn't try to summon them again, and that too Not a useful existence...]
