Chapter 260 The Evil Beast Callisto

Callisto No. 2

Sitting on a chair, playing with the brand new black Neti card in his hand, Leon looked at the magic base in operation in the corner of the workshop.

The silver Neti card, which was split in half by the Great Knight Valencis, was suspended above the magic formation of the base and rotated slowly.

In the flat cross section, the mithril thread and the mysterious light mist connected the magic cycle between the two broken chips.

"With the existing materials, we can only maintain this silver card from completely losing its effectiveness." Laura followed his gaze and explained: "If we want to recast the silver card, we still lack the 'Isua Soul Stone'."

Leon nodded and continued to weigh in his head.

Without Garron, the trump card that can face strong enemies head-on, and encountering an oversized enemy that is difficult to deal with like the Great Knight, not counting those rangers who are destined to leave in the future, he can only rely on the entire Knights to fight a just group fight in the future.

The whole group will fight together, and with Olivia to contain them head-on, they may be able to defeat a strong man like Yasen.

But there is no doubt that the price paid must be very heavy, especially considering that if such a powerful enemy, like Yasen, did not sneak into the occupied area of ​​​​Orland Army alone to fight him alone, but also brought a group of troops.

It is hard to say who will fight whom in a group.

Leon could not predict how many of his soldiers and companions he would have to pay to exchange for the life of a great knight, let alone what would happen if the other party also brought his younger brothers.

He looked down at the empty cards in his hand.

There is only one black card, which can only call back an important person.

If its power is not used, it may lead to the sacrifice of more than one comrade in the future.

In the end, it is better to take the initiative to eliminate hidden dangers than to be safe. It seems that there is no essential difference between the choices faced now and in the past. No matter how precious the Neti card is, there is still a chance to get it in the future. However, once a living person dies, even if the spirit is summoned back, it will no longer be a living person.

Don't put the cart before the horse.

After considering this, Leon decided to maximize the power of the artifact in his hand. He realized that he could only wait until he got enough Neti cards in the future to have the confidence to carry empty cards in reserve.

Looking at the thoughtful look.

Lola tilted her head and held her chin, her eyes wandering on this face.

She couldn't help but slowly got up, came to the back of Leon's chair, and raised her hand to touch the black hair.

The fingers combed like a caress. Although the hair was not long, the girl still held up the roots of the hair at the back of the head with tenderness as if it were a treasure, and couldn't let it go.

Leon turned the cards between his fingers and fell into deep thought. He didn't mind the little teacher touching his hair. He was used to Lola's liking for his hair from nowhere.

Thinking about it now, he even regretted that he was too decisive when cutting off his long hair after waking up in Usato. He should have left a little back for the little teacher to play with to kill her boredom.

Close your eyes.

Enjoying Laura's stroking, Leon recalled the thousands of magic spells in the magic book that can be recorded on the Neti card.

Lorelit magic divides all magic into five levels.

The lowest level is "apprentice magic", followed by "basic magic", "advanced magic", "high magic", and the top "big magic".

As the name suggests, apprentice magic is some basic small spells that beginners need to learn.

Such as manipulating objects, shocking, igniting, lighting, gathering water, condensing, calling wind, electric shock, magic pattern rubbing, etc. Simple spellcasting skills.

After that, even if all non-combat related spells are excluded, there are still tens of thousands of refined and dazzling spells at this level.

For example, the [Melting Sword] he now masters is the basic enhanced magic under the "Elemental Science-Thermal Element Department".

Like the magic necklace called Boiling Heart, before it was sealed into the Neti card, it was roughly equivalent to the comprehensive basic strengthening magic [Magic Element Intensification] of "Elemental Science-Magic Element" and "Life Science-Animal Science" under single conditions.

However, after the powerful effect of the Neti card, its casting target has been greatly increased from a single object to the upper limit of nearly 100 people.

There is also [Isha's Arrow] used by Laura, which has always helped her a lot. It is an attack magic under "Elemental Science-Magic Element".

Most of the advanced magics above it exceed the carrying limit of the black card.

I heard that in the distant past, an apprentice in the Lorelit Academy only met one of the conditions for being awarded the title of "right position" if he could truly master an elective advanced magic.

Of course, these magic ratings are not the power levels in the game that Leon recalled in his previous life.

The five magic spell levels are only evaluated by their learning difficulty and complexity, as well as their actual effects.

Although in the field of "elemental science" magic, it is indeed similar to the destructive intensity division in his previous life.

After all, fundamentally speaking, the more complex and advanced the application of elemental energy, the more obvious the difference in effect caused by it is compared with low-level spells.

But in other fields, it is not always the case.

Even if we don't talk about many "advanced magic" and "high magic" in life science and astronomy that have nothing to do with combat.

In the advanced magic related to combat, the comprehensive undead magic "Zombie Puppet" involving "Spiritual Summoning-Necromancy" and "Life Science-Animal Science" is found. The basic effect of this spell is just to inject a dead soul into a corpse and create a zombie.

A skilled magic apprentice can destroy a zombie created by this advanced magic by throwing a large stone through the air with the simplest and inferior "magic manipulation".

Unless the caster has a deeper understanding and uses this spell to create a more powerful undead puppet.

Obviously, the reason why "zombie puppet" is an advanced magic is that it is more difficult and complicated than most basic magic.

From this point of view, the learning progress and results of the casters who practice the "School of Summoning" seem to be much more difficult and slow than those who specialize in the "School of Elements".

And more complicated than "advanced magic", "high magic" and "great magic" are no longer mastered by simply studying academic knowledge in a few fields.

For example, Ms. Aphrodite's Neti card is a miracle that can be called great magic.

And now, the dead zone that is spreading in the east of Kantadar can be considered an extraordinary great magic by comprehensive evaluation.

Of course, the powerful spells above the basic magic are basically irrelevant to me.

It's just that the black-level Neti card can't accommodate overly powerful advanced magic.

Like [Dragon Punishment] in "Elementology-Atmospheric Elementology", the advanced celestial magic described in the magic book that can summon thunder and lightning, Leon can only stare blankly.

However, there is an advanced healing magic of life science called [Blood and Flesh Regeneration]. Laura said that the black card can barely accommodate it.

It can even repair severed limbs and injuries. At a critical moment, it is no different from saving lives. It is a good choice.

As for other basic attack magic, it may be effective in single-player or small-scale battles, but on the battlefield, its use is not significant enough.

I am the leader of an army, not a lone adventurer. If I can't record the range killing magic of the army level, the enemies that can be eliminated by basic spells may not be as many as those killed by Canis, a heroic spirit, rushing into the battlefield alone.

Heroic cards like Canis are really more versatile than basic spells with a single effect.

In a fight, you can let the young master of the Wolf family go out to chop people, use him to block the knife in a crisis, and throw him out as bait in special circumstances, so you don't have to feel sorry for his death.

It seems that either you can find another hero that can be contained in the black card, or make the spell card "Flesh and Blood Regeneration", which is the best choice.

Leon pondered whether the hero card plan has a warrior soul similar to Cannis, who is famous enough to leave a mark in the world and powerful enough to be summoned?

In the battle of Usato that just passed, whether it was the side of Kantadar or the side of Orland, there must be many long-famous knights of military honor who died on the battlefield.

But now, whether it is going back to Usato to steal the remains and relics of the knights on Kantadar's side, or looking for the famous knights who died in the battle on the side of Orland in the country, it is not realistic.

Risking the risk of exposing the reputation of stealing the corpse, and not necessarily being able to summon successfully, this is really not worth the loss.

Moreover, even if he could successfully summon the corresponding knight's ghost in the Dead Sea, Leon didn't know how to sign the "master-servant contract" taught by Laura with the other party.

He originally promised Canis, who had turned into an evil ghost, to help him complete revenge in person, so that the young master of the Wolf family who died young agreed to become his servant.

If it were other ghosts, Leon felt that he could not find the chips and conditions to exchange for the other party's loyalty.

Please...collect 6...books...!

The Neti card was originally just a "horcrux" created by Ms. Aphrodite to resurrect Laura, and it did not have the effect of forced slavery.

Just like Laura now, she is not a servant of her own heroic spirit, but an independent card spirit.

The "master-servant contract" that binds Canis and Garron now is even a modified design by Laura, which helps herself join the casting process without destroying the ritual magic of the Neti card.

What if, at the risk of becoming infamous, I stole the remains and relics of a famous knight, but the other party didn't want to live anymore after entering the Dead Sea.

Or didn't want his soul to be controlled by others.

Wouldn't that mean I was wasting my time and energy?

Leon sighed and put down the Neti card that he was spinning around in his hand.

If I can't make a Heroic Spirit Card, I can only make a Spell Card, or... light up the Holy Spirit Lamp and let Laura help me burn another Noble Phantasm Card?

Yeah.

Heroic Spirit Card, Noble Phantasm Card, Spell Card.

Thinking about the magic artifacts that he classified more and more like the cards in the board game in his previous life, Leon suddenly opened his eyes and an idea popped into his mind.

Why not make another... "Monster Card"!

"Lola, can the Neti Card summon non-human dead souls from the 'Dead Sea'?"

The white-haired girl stopped when she heard this.

She put her hands on Leon's shoulders and patted him: "Yes, you can. Even if you want to summon the souls of beasts and monsters, the conditions required are no different from summoning human souls.

But how do you negotiate with the spirit of the beast? Its wisdom cannot communicate complex information, and I can't help you with any tricks for the contract witnessed by Yin Nie. If you can't make the soul voluntarily sign the contract, all you get is an uncontrollable beast spirit."

"Don't worry about this, I might have a way to try." Leon stood up and had a plan in mind.

Lola instantly understood his idea: "Oh~, you want to summon the Dread Mountain Bear you killed?"

"That's right."

Leon turned around and shook the card in his hand towards the little teacher: "It just so happens that the Mount Sinan bear has eaten so many people, so it would be easy to die. Now that this land is facing a disaster, it is better to let it return to the world to help us fight. Disaster can be regarded as continued atonement after death.”

Laura crossed her arms and said suddenly: "So, you plan to use the three cubs it gave birth to to threaten it into submission?

Even though she didn’t have a complex understanding of the beast, her motherly instinct might indeed make it succumb, especially since it died shortly after giving birth to its cub, and its soul must be filled with resentment and concern for the cub’s safety at this moment. "

When Leon heard the girl being so straightforward, he couldn't help but said awkwardly: "How can you say it's a threat? It's just a negotiation. I help it raise the cubs until they are weaned and then release them into the wilderness, and it works for me to fight against the undead. This is not very fair."

"Didn't you originally plan to send the cub to the wilderness to be released?"

"Alas, I didn't tell the female bear my original plan. The Monosomon Bear would definitely not believe that I had such good intentions." Leon said proudly.

Laura spread her hands in a funny manner and sighed: "You are smart, but you should really give it a try. The primitive and pure beast soul, this secondary Neti card can completely bear it.

Once successful, the adult Terrestrial Bear is far more useful than an ordinary warrior or basic magic with a single effect. The only question now is whether its soul can be found in the Dead Sea. "

Leon stroked his chin, thought for a while and speculated: "Logically speaking, before we killed the mountain bear, it had been wreaking havoc in the Leidingburg area of ​​​​Mamol for several months. I'm afraid it has already been notorious for a long time. I'm afraid it will be worse than Katniss, who performed meritorious service on the battlefield and became famous in the aristocratic circles of Gray Shirt Valley, became much more famous.

Moreover, the knights errant who participated in hunting it are all famous heroes from all over Orland. This behemoth crusade will spread in the future. According to the magic principle of the Neti card you mentioned, the ritual will be retrieved through the traces of the River of Time. It should be more relaxed when it comes to souls in the Dead Sea. "

As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Let's not talk about it for now. Without further ado, I have to go back to Leidingburg and try it out."

A full nine days have passed since the bear corpse was handed over to Gunnar's family for disposal after the crusade. Leon only hoped that Heinkel's people would slow down and not have to completely dispose of the furbolg corpse.

"Wait." Laura quickly held his hand.

"?" Leon stopped and turned around in confusion.

"Remember to give the mountain bear a name before the summoning ceremony."

Miss Mage seriously reminded: "True names are in magic. They have practical and extraordinary power, and have binding magic power. The mountain bear in your mouth must not have been named before. Give it an exact name, and you can Let the magic be directed to the target better.”

Leon understood and nodded gratefully.

name

Just call it "Callisto".

They are all female bears anyway.
