45. Call of Heroes
Heroic Spirit Summoning, a very risky summoning magic.
The advantages and disadvantages of this kind of magic have been mentioned before, so I won't repeat them here.
Now, in a magical apartment in London, in the basement where complex summoning runes have been painted and engraved, a summoning ceremony with extremely high energy is about to begin.
As the host of the ceremony, Hermione was a little nervous.
She kept taking deep breaths to calm herself down.
As a spellcaster, if the mind cannot be calm, there will be fluctuations in magic power when casting spells, which will reduce the effectiveness of magic. In battle, this is a fatal shortcoming.
In order to increase her own magical power, Hermione also changed into her own witch's robe. The black robe hangs down at her feet, making her look more in line with the traditional image of a witch.
Around the huge, complex magic circle coupled with 13 runes on the ground, 13 white candles used to connect magic power were placed on the sharp corners of the magic circle. materials are placed on the circle.
Merlin looked relaxed.
With his hands behind his back, he hovered on the other side of the basement, quietly watching Hermione arrange the summoning ceremony.
Glasses lady Icarus stood beside him. Today, Icarus was wearing gray business attire, with a gray skirt and black stockings on his lower body, and black-rimmed glasses.
She looks like a cold office girl.
Merlin watched the summoning ceremony in front of him being arranged little by little. Hermione was indeed the most popular young spellcaster in the European magic world, and she was only one step away from the great wizard.
She was preparing for the ceremony with absolutely standard steps, and her flowing movements could be called visual enjoyment.
"Ask whatever you want."
Merlin suddenly said:
"You're too upright to hide a secret..."
"All right."
Icarus with a sullen face glanced at Hermione's elegant back, and she said:
"You and her..."
"Didn't you hear my explanation just now?"
Merlin said calmly:
"Hermione was the first girl I saved in my life, and she helped me when I was most desperate. The relationship between us is very complicated, brother and sister, rescuer and rescued, benefactor and rescued. Retriever, Protector and Protected..."
"But it's not the kind of relationship you're worried about. Ron said Hermione had someone else in her heart, and it wasn't me...it was Harry."
"Harry Potter, the last of the trio, the savior of the European wizarding world, they have gone through many things together, but Hermione chose Ron in the end."
"Really?"
Icarus breathed a sigh of relief, and she asked again:
"Aren't they friends? And from what you're saying, you don't seem too happy with Hermione's choice of Ron?"
"nonsense!"
Merlin curled his lips, and said expressionlessly:
"A girl as good as Hermione, how can a mediocre guy like Ron deserve it?"
"I had hoped that she would be with Harry. They were a good match, but... the two personalities ended up being at odds. Hermione was too strong, while Harry was soft on the outside and strong on the inside."
"Perhaps, Ron is indeed the most suitable for her. At least I don't have to worry about her being bullied in marriage. The main reason is that Harry's background is too scary, as well as the conservative and traditional European magic circle."
"Hey, Hermione would have had a better life if she was born in North America or Asia, but she happens to be a British, born in this country that is unwilling to give up the glory of the past... full of the smell of decay that should have been abandoned long ago! "
The glasses girl pushed her glasses, she glanced at Hermione, she didn't expect this witch to have such a past, she couldn't help asking:
"Then didn't you just say that Hermione, as the sister of the Lord of Hell, can..."
"At that time, I was not the Lord of Hell."
Merlin says:
"At that time, I was not even accepted by the mainstream European magic circle. I was just a wild mage. If I had the status and power I have now...hehe."
"You seem to be very dissatisfied with the European wizarding world."
Icarus says:
"why?"
"Because they are too conservative, they are obviously the birthplace of magic, but now they have no sense of existence in the magical world."
Merlin explained:
"Even the Magic Congress in North America has come from behind. How can I say this? It's none of my business, but you know, I just like to meddle in my own business occasionally..." "It can't be changed, it's an old problem. "
"Okay, the ceremony is about to begin, give her the sword, and then step back to my side."
Under Merlin's instructions, Icarus drew out the long sword made of precision machinery, handed it to Hermione with a serious face, and then retreated to Merlin's side.
Hermione and Merlin looked at each other.
Merlin nodded slightly at her.
Hermione took a deep breath, stepped into the summoning circle at her feet, and raised the mechanical long sword in her hand. Under the blessing of a levitation spell, the long sword hung down on the surface of the magic circle.
"hum"
Hermione drew out her wand, tapped it in the air, and the 13 candles around the magic circle were all lit up, and as Hermione's magic power poured out from the top of the wand, the magic circle under her feet was like a light being lit.
Orange light shines from the magic circle, like a flowing river, quickly covering the complex runes, but not completely covering them.
Those dancing lines formed a six-pointed star symbol at Hermione's feet, and beyond that symbol, there was a circular ring in which complex runes were engraved.
Summoning Rune of the Grand Wizard Solomon.
The most famous legend of the ancient great wizard is that he summoned 72 demon gods from various dimensions of hell, and signed a contract with them to drive him.
That was a true summoner.
Uh, in addition, in Shazam Superman's divine blessing, the so-called "Solomon's wisdom" is worthy of this ancient great wizard.
Hermione controlled the magic power and merged with the tumbling magic power of the magic circle under her feet. Her witch robe was blown up by the storm, and even her long hair was swaying in the air.
She pointed her finger at the sacred relic floating in front of her eyes. Amidst the hissing of the sharp blade, Hermione uttered one of the spells summoned by the heroic spirit in a hoarse and low tone.
"toσ?μaσoue?νaiuπ?ti?δiataγ??μou, ημo?paμoue?νaiδeμ?νημetoσπaθ?σou.! (Your body is entrusted to me! My fate is attached to your sword!)"
The sound of chanting the spell was like an echoing echo, vibrating back and forth in the basement.
This phenomenon is obviously not normal.
The echo didn't weaken in any way, but instead became stronger and clearer as it continued to reverberate.
Merlin narrowed his eyes.
Icarus couldn't see those magical images, but he could.
Dreamlike projections reverberated above the magic circle like a flying horse watching flowers.
In those pictures, the life of a short girl whose face cannot be seen clearly, wearing a blue armor with a silver background, and holding a broad-bladed long sword is shown.
That scene appeared for a short time, but for Merlin, it was enough to finish watching those scenes.
A poor and peaceful childhood.
Pull out the sword in the stone and become king.
He led the Knights of the Round Table against the invasion of foreign enemies and was dubbed the title of King of Knights.
It's a pity that the so-called king's will is too cold, which leads to internal centrifugal.
His life was terminated in the parent-child rebellion.
In the end, he fell down on the hill of Jianlan in the bloody battle and looked back at the collapsed kingdom alone.
Yes...
That's her.
It is completely different from what is recorded in history, but it is very consistent with the king of knights recorded in some unofficial history.
Hermione's summoning was successful.
It took only one attempt to establish a connection with the heroic spirit in time. Should it be said that Hermione's spellcasting ability is too strong, or is her luck too good?
"Woo"
The sound like a giant beast swallowing water echoed in the basement, and Hermione's magic power was crazily absorbed.
It is used to reshape the body of a heroic spirit. The stronger the summoned heroic spirit, the more magic power it needs.
In the blink of an eye, the magic power in Hermione's body was reduced to an extremely dangerous level.
But that's where the benefits of having a background come in.
Hermione blinked, picked up a piece of blue magic crystal from the plate next to it, and gently crushed it. The vortex that was constantly absorbing magic power was satisfied, but it didn't dissipate.
Then she crushed a second crystal, a third, a fourth.
A few minutes later, between the replenishment of sufficient magic power, a short girl with a golden light that could be seen to be a woman, but only about 1.5 meters tall, appeared in front of the suspended mechanical long sword.
Her face could not be seen clearly in the light, but her crisp voice could be heard, which sounded like the sound of a sword, full of a crisp and crisp taste.
"You, witch... are you my Master?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Holding the wand, Hermione bowed to King Arthur, who was gradually appearing in the present world, with an extremely elegant posture. She said:
"Sorry to disturb your peace, but I need your strength, not for evil, but for a holy competition!"
"In that case, then I will..."
The summoned queen seemed to be easy to speak, but just as she was about to respond to the summons, her body in the light suddenly turned to where Merlin was.
"The breath of hell! What foul evil!"
Amidst a stern shout, the sharp sound of the sword resounded.
A two-handed longsword with a blue hilt, curved guard, and blue rune embellishment on the blade jumped out of the light, and was held in the hand of the short queen.
She made a very standard sword thrusting action, she said:
"Master! Back off! Let me kill this evil!"
"No, wait!"
Before Hermione's persuasion finished, the female knight in the light swung her long sword and stabbed towards Merlin amidst the shock of the ground collapsing.
Subconsciously, Icarus was about to stand in front of Merlin, but was pushed back by Merlin's hand.
While the robe was fluttering, the golden long sword swung down screamingly, but was forcibly stopped in the air amidst the sound of metal clanging.
The blade that emerged from the light was less than 2 inches from Merlin's forehead.
But it was caught in the air by two slender fingers, no matter how hard the female knight tried, the blade could not move forward even an inch.
And the moment Merlin's fingers touched the blade, the golden arc suspended around the female knight quickly dissipated, revealing the face of the legendary King Arthur.
The first thing that catches the eye is a long blond hair with a shawl. In the confrontation between the strengths of the two sides, the long hair dances backwards like the wind blowing.
She has a pair of peculiar green eyes and no makeup on her cheeks, but she looks very pretty, with a mixture of feminine tenderness and masculine determination.
At first glance, this short female knight looks like a noble girl in a medieval court.
But the most noticeable thing is that there is a raised hair on the top of her smooth long golden hair, which swings in the air, but does not hang to either side.
She was wearing a dress of fine texture, with a blue background and a white border.
There is silver armor with blue patterns on the outside of the dress, white breeches on the legs, and silver armor on the feet and in the hands holding the sword.
"You...evil!"
The girl's decisive blow was blocked so easily, a trace of surprise and anger flashed across her face.
Merlin tilted his head and looked at the cute and heroic girl in front of him. He shook his head and said softly:
"Your Majesty, it seems that you are very angry when you wake up."
"Snapped"
Merlin's fingers swung outward, and a huge force struck along the long sword, causing the summoned Knight Queen Arturia's entire body to deflect backward.
She spun around in the air, and then landed firmly on the ground.
The female knight once again made a fencing gesture, and it seemed that she did not intend to admit defeat.
But at this moment, Hermione's hand finally rested on the shoulder of the female knight. Hermione's height was 1.7 meters, a full two heads taller than the short queen. This action was as natural as an older sister blocking her younger sister.
she says:
"Don't fight, Your Majesty, that's my elder brother... The holy relic that summoned you was also provided by him."
"What? Brother?"
Her Majesty was stunned, she looked at Merlin, then at her Master, she said in surprise:
"A prince of hell, why does he have a sister who is a human witch?"
"Well, we're not biological."
Merlin answered the question.
With his hands behind his back, he hovered in place. He looked at Artoria who put away his sword calmly, and said:
"Since the summoning has been successful, let me ask you a few questions first, Your Majesty."
"About that mechanical Sword of Oath of Victory, can you tell me anything? What I want to know more is, in your era, what is the relationship between you and the Cybertronians?"
Facing Merlin's question, the summoned King of Knights said coldly:
"Why should I answer you? Evil...I smell you, the smell of evil in this world...You represent the source of all filth in this world, you are all evil..."
"enough!"
Merlin's blue eyes turned to the Queen of Knights.
He said:
"I don't need your evaluation of who I am, let alone your explanation! And I'm not asking you to answer this question!"
"Please, recognize your situation, Your Majesty."
Raven Lord "gently" reminded:
"I really want you to retain your decency as a king, but if you don't want it... I won't force it. You have to understand that I don't necessarily need to ask in order to get an answer."
Merlin's gaze made King Arthur clenched his sword again, and she was obviously unwilling to give in.
There is no word surrender in her dictionary.
Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Hermione took a step forward. She took King Arthur's hand and said:
"Answer his question, Your Majesty, I, as the master... order you!"
A few seconds later, King Arthur snorted and put away his sword.
She looked at Merlin, and she said:
"In that case... okay."
"I'll tell you what you want to know."
