Stray Chapter 147: Spell Test

"Stand at attention!"

"Sit down!"

"Handshake!"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xia Ran was in her living room on the second floor, giving out such orders continuously, as if she was training a dog.

In front of him is a "big dog" with a delicate holographic image, or a "big dog" whose whole body is glowing with a faint pearly white light. Ghost wolf.

Because it is really big, its body length is almost two meters, its sturdy body and strong limbs seem to contain explosive muscle power, if it is not really unreal in appearance, probably no one will Doubt its ferocity...

But at this moment, it is obeying the orders of its master, making various movements constantly.

——For example, turning in circles and chasing after his own tail to bite.

--or raised their paws, as if they had reached a consensus.

Lifelike, if you don't look at its glowing pearly white fur, and its completely unscientific ghost appearance, it almost looks like a real animal... But it's not the case, it's "summoning a familiar" effect of this spell.

Can summon a ghost wolf... In fact, there is not only one, if the mage who uses this spell is strong enough and has boundless mana, then it can also be done to summon an overwhelming pack of wolves.

But Xia Ran doesn't count on it anymore. The real world he lives in doesn't seem to have the existence of mysterious powers, such as concepts such as magic power and aura in the atmosphere, or it's not that it doesn't exist, it's just very thin.

So any spell can only rely entirely on his own blue bar, just like this ghost wolf, which was summoned directly by extracting more than a quarter of his mental power.

After reading the basic theory about Summoning, Xia Ran actually understood very well that in theory, what summoned by Summoning, whether it is a weapon or an alien creature, is just a projection.

They all have an archetype. This archetype may exist in the current material world or in other spatial planes... but it is also normal. If it is not for projection, it is impossible for summoning to drive other creatures to be summoners. work hard.

Because you summoned me, I'm going to give you my life? You are so powerful, why don't you go to heaven? It is the instinct of all creatures to seek profit and avoid harm. If this is the case, the summoning technique can hardly be established, and they will never respond to this technique.

For example, a person posts a job advertisement on the Internet, but instead of looking for employees, he finds slaves and asks others to unilaterally sign a sales contract for him, and he does not need to pay anything...or Said that what he paid was just to spend a little time writing such a job advertisement, and a little bit of traffic to publish it on the Internet.

If it is like this, there are still many people who respond, and countless people compete for the honor of becoming slaves, and if they put their lives and freedoms aside, then there is really a ghost.

Perhaps a real ruthless man can forcibly summon and enslave life from another world, and whether the latter is willing or not, he has to sacrifice his life for it.

But this kind of ruthless person is a very small number of existences, and there is no reference value. The summoning system can become a mainstream spell faction, of course, it must meet the standards and requirements of more popular spellcasters.

So, if the summoning technique summons a projection, then it is possible, because even if it is destroyed, it will not really threaten the existence of the prototype... But if the projection to be summoned is very advanced, then The prototype itself is also aware and has the ability to intervene.

This explains why advanced summoning techniques may fail, and there is a risk of backlash—at that level, it can be said that projections are no longer summoned based on traces, but more like negotiating conditions with dangerous and powerful high-level existences. Talk about business.

However, Xia Ran just used the low-level basic summoning spell of "Summon Familiar", and the accident happened directly.

There is basically no mysterious power in the real world, at least he has not seen it yet, and there are no other space planes, or trace records of other magical creatures...

Although because of the "compatibility patch" of the white space, he can still use the magic of the summoning system, but it has changed in a form.

"Why do you look more and more like an Erha... What about the ghost wolf you said?"

Xia Ran squatted down and touched the dog's head of the magic pet. The latter immediately narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. He made a loud noise and pressed his head against his palm, as if to express his closeness. mean.

But he knows very well that this guy actually has no self-consciousness, let alone wisdom, not even instinct.

Purely because of its existence itself, it is completely composed of his spiritual power, which has a direct spiritual network connection with the soul of the caster, which greatly strengthens the subtle and mysterious connection of the spell itself.

It was a very strange feeling, but because of Xiao Zuo, Xia Ran was not completely inexperienced.

With his mental power strengthened to this level, he no longer needs to use words to communicate with his left hand... But the current familiar is a step further, as if his body and limbs are an extension of the outside world.

For example, the closeness it showed just now, like a dog, was entirely caused by Xia Ran's subconscious impression. He used to have several dogs in his old home, and he still has some impressions of those dogs.

It is precisely because he feels that the dog will react like this when he is touched by himself, so the ghost wolf magic pet will immediately make a relative performance. After all, it is completely composed of Xia Ran's spiritual power. Spiritual body, and is directly manipulated by Xia Ran's thoughts.

Well, it is said that it is a ghost wolf, but also because of Xia Ran's inherent impression of the game, the appearance of the magic pet summoned.

But I don't know if it's a psychological effect. He always feels that the more he looks at this ghost wolf, the more the silhouette looks like a husky... It's an illusion, it should be an illusion, such a majestic, strong and powerful beast, absolutely compelling It's a wolf instead of Er Ha!

—No rebuttals are accepted!

"I just don't know how the actual combat ability is. Do you want to go out and test it... But this thing is so big and so conspicuous, how to take it out is also a problem..." Xia Ran pinched her chin and wrinkled. brow.

The body length of this creature is nearly two meters. It is even taller than an adult when standing upright, and the whole body is glowing with pearly white light, with a vague sense of transparency.

For the concept of ghosts, it's really standard, and I can't fault it.

However, for humans, this product is too conspicuous. During the daytime, it may be able to hide it under the sun, just like the screen of a mobile phone is usually clear, but when you walk in the sun, you can almost see it directly. gone...

But it's night, and it's just like a light bulb, it's hard not to be noticed.

And Xia Ran has just tried it, and the mobile phone can take pictures directly. For the time being, this product has no characteristics that cannot be detected by scientific and technological instruments.

"Huh?"

Slightly narrowed his eyes, he stared at the dog in front of him... ah, no, he was staring at the ghost wolf in front of him, and found that the other party was squatting in front of him with a silly face, sticking out his tongue to please him , but the body is getting darker.

At the beginning, he thought he had been tricked. Although the summoned pet not only lasted for sixty seconds, it didn't take much longer than sixty seconds.

It's only been ten minutes, and it's about to disappear? I lied in a groove, isn't this price-performance ratio a little too low? If you summon one time in the real world, you will consume a lot of blue bars!

The familiar darkened completely before his eyes, the pearly white ghostly light completely disappeared, and the outline almost completely disappeared, as if a snowman quickly melted away before his eyes.

Xia Ran subconsciously reached out and touched it, but she still felt the existence of the dog's head in the air. There was no temperature, but the simulated fur texture was very soft and felt very good...

He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, only to determine that the dog had not disappeared, but had become completely transparent.

When the pearly white ghost light on the body completely disappeared, all that was left was the transparent physique of the ghost wolf. It was not completely transparent, but a rough outline could still be seen. When it is active, the air in which it is located will also appear blurry.

It's too vague. Only by staring at it carefully from the beginning can it be easier to detect. If there is no such awareness, then it is no different from stealth.

Speaking of invisibility, Xia Ran has been thinking about it recently. The book mentioned the principle of invisibility, but in the illusion system, invisibility is actually psychological invisibility. The principle is not to use magic to distort light, but So that the people who are affected around them don't even realize that they have seen another person.

Similar to the principle of the whispering technique, it is more complicated and obscure. Xia Ran couldn't figure it out. He planned to directly get the spell scroll to strengthen it, so he didn't need to embarrass himself.

Compared with this, this characteristic of ghost wolf is closer to the effect of normal invisibility magic.

"It seems perfectly fine...well, let's test it now."

Xia Ran rubbed the dog's head, then let the almost invisible ghost wolf follow her, and went out directly.

The city outside is at night, but there is no tendency to fall asleep at all. Instead, it seems to be more energetic than during the day. The prosperity is sung all over the place.

However, where there is light, darkness will inevitably breed, and evil will breed... Just behind this brilliance, an unknown corner.

Xia Ran is not worried that she can't find a helpful tester to help herself test the abilities of her familiar. However, he did not relax his vigilance, but opened the exchange list in the white space and bought some gadgets.

A less expensive one-off prop, but very effective, can interfere with the working of surrounding electronics, affecting cameras, cell phones, etc.

The test is very necessary, because the next step is to enter a high-level magical task plane, Xia Ran must at least master the basic values ​​of several new spell skills, and roughly determine their significance in actual combat .

Not only the spell "Summon Familiar", but also the specific effects of "Resurrect Zombies", as well as "Sword of Binding", "Bow of Binding" and other spell skills for summoning weapons...

——There may even be a truly evil spell called "Soul Imprisonment".
