In this world, summoning undoubtedly exists.

In ancient times, early wizards were inspired by nature and created regular magic and summoning.

They struggled to survive the confrontations with various powerful ancient magic races, and gradually studied in depth until they dominated the entire ancient world.

But what must be said is that the so-called "summoning" at that time was by no means a magic that transferred something from other places to oneself.

A true summoning spell must have a medium as its core. It can be a clear water, a fire, or even a stone that can be seen everywhere.

What the wizard has to do next is to use the rules and runes he knows that are consistent with the core to condense more powerful power and shape it into what he wants.

Finally, imprint your own will into it, and the summoning technique is completed.

This is the most primitive summoning magic that was later called "Spirit Summoning" by wizards. It is also the biggest reason why wizards in ancient times used less to defeat more.

Of course, this is one of the reasons why Maka always believes that the predecessor of the modern discipline of transfiguration is probably the ancient summoning technique.

However, the "Demon Summoning Technique" that Haierbo tried his best to activate has essentially nothing to do with the ancient summoning technique. Not only does it not originate from the original summoning technique, it even involves some very bad things.

And it is considered taboo by most ancient wizards.

The reason why it is also called "summoning" is actually just because some of its magic theories happen to coincide with the spirit summoning technique, and they also look quite similar on the surface.

For example, it also has the "core" existence as a medium

"...And that core is the witch that Martin is willing to sacrifice for, Muriel." Under the hole she took out, Maka said while stretching her hand towards the distortion in front of her.

Based on the witnessing scenes that Lupine described before, combined with the emotions that Martin showed in the past, this conclusion is not difficult to draw. It is obvious that the faces condensed into gray fog at that time came from Muriel's will

undoubtedly.

But the key is, where did Herbo hide Muriel?

Before discovering this round stone slab hidden deep in the ground, Maka was naturally unsure, but now he could guess some possibilities.

Yes, the mirror space of London that he had entered by mistake was indeed an excellent place to hide people. Without Delphi's accidental "guide", it would have been impossible for him to even think of it.

Entering through the door.

But after making this guess, Maka couldn't help but start to wonder where Delphi was going, and what exactly was she going to do?

Regarding this question, Maka was actually not without speculation. On the contrary, he was unwilling to draw conclusions easily because he had guessed too many answers.

In the final analysis, Delphi hid too much from him.

Accompanied by an illusion as if her whole body was being squeezed and twisted, Maka felt that the scene in front of her suddenly flipped, and then all the colors in the entire field of vision faded away.

After the space stabilized, he looked up and saw that the disk-like sky above the pit was completely gray.

However, the fog that had always permeated the city of London suddenly disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by an indescribable depressing atmosphere.

Seeing this, Maka nodded silently and said secretly in her heart:

"It is indeed here."

…

In order to study clearly how to activate the stone slab as quietly as possible, Maka spent a lot of effort. Therefore, he still came in a lot later than Delphi.

And about half an hour ago, right above the deep pit where Maka came in, Delphi's figure suddenly appeared.

In fact, it can be known from the position where she appeared that when she came in, she did not dig a hole like Maka, but opened the circular stone slab directly in the previous alley.

On this point, it does seem a bit suspicious.

"Well...come in."

After stepping into this black and white space again, Delphi looked around first, then pursed his lips and nodded as if to confirm that he had gone to the right place.

Then, she didn't stop any longer and walked out of the alley, following the mysterious aura that seemed to be everywhere in the city.

It can be seen that this black and white city still has no life at all. Only occasionally, one or two gray figures will pass by in a hurry on the deserted streets, and behind them there will usually be another twisted figure.

Dark shadows are chasing.

Delphi knew very well that the chased gray shadow represented wizards or Muggles. The gray that was flowing was the former, and the gray that was almost solid was the latter.

As for the black shadows chasing them, they are naturally the believers whose minds were controlled by Haierbo.

In the mirror space here, the creatures in the outside world will only reflect the outline of their own magic power. What kind of magic power they have in their bodies will be reflected accordingly in this space.

Delphi was thinking about it when she suddenly noticed a gloomy but extremely powerful magic wave suddenly coming from behind, causing her to subconsciously look back.

Then, she saw a twisted silhouette that was much larger than the black shadow she had seen before. Suddenly, it sprang out from the corner at the other end of the street and ran towards this side very quickly.

Just look at the majestic black shadow swaying like a flame, and the entire outline is far away from the normal human posture, looking like a black, constantly twisting and swaying fireball.

There was no doubt that that was the black-eyed wizard she had fought against before, the soul collector created by Haierbo through the steps of the summoning ritual.

Of course, Delphi is currently in the mirror space of London City, and the other party is obviously not aware of her existence at all. They saw the black shadow running silently through the street, and suddenly headed to the other end of the street.

Already.

Seeing the other party running away, Delphi secretly shook his head, then took steps to continue walking along the street.

Not long after, she walked for a while in the black and white city, turned a few more turns, and seemed to naturally arrive at the ruins of the gallery where the entrance to the black market was hidden.

After all, this is the mirror space of London. It should actually be connected, and it is obviously the same here. After entering the gallery and passing through the goblin's secret passage, Delphi finally came to the underground black market.

As soon as she entered here, she clearly felt that the oppressive atmosphere that seemed to be everywhere suddenly became stronger and stronger.

That's right...it's right here, that's right.

Delphi paused in the hall of the Dark Spirit Pavilion, and then went straight to the outside. She knew that the witch who was the core of the demon summoning medium...no, should be said to be the "sacrifice", was killed by Haier.

The wave is hidden somewhere in this underground black market.

As for the specific place, she first accompanied Pansy to the old house to look for Martin and Muriel, right?

I remember that they were unable to find the two of them at that time, but now, at least it should not be difficult to find Muriel.

Needless to say, Delphi's hesitation and thinking after agreeing to accompany Pansy to the black market was obviously already considering the current trip.

Thinking about her determination to return from the future to the present, how could she be unprepared? It can be said that many things are actually within her plan, and they are all part of her intention to achieve her goal.

It didn't take long for Pansy to follow the route she and Pansy had already taken, turning left and right. In just over ten minutes, they had already arrived near the old house.

But until this moment, Maka outside had just figured out the mystery of the round stone slab, and was making some preparations for the idea of ​​entering this space!

"This is it."

Just by standing at the gate downstairs, Delphi could feel the strong oppressive force surrounding him, and the source of this oppressive atmosphere was undoubtedly on the second floor of this old house.

However, she had hardly hesitated along the way, but when she got here, she suddenly stopped involuntarily.

She didn't know whether it was the invisible oppression that made her feel uncomfortable, or some thoughts in her heart that made her hesitate. Should she just go ahead and face her own life? This became Delphi's most difficult decision.

She understood that before she reached this step, she had no way out. Her current hesitation was not only meaningless, but also a waste of time.

However, she still couldn't help but feel uneasy... Well, maybe it was far more than just "uneasy".

After a few minutes of silence with her eyes closed, Delphi suppressed the emotions lingering in her heart and took a deep breath before suddenly opening her eyes again.

Her sapphire-like eyes were clear once again.

The next moment, Delphi suddenly stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in with firm and decisive steps.

…

While Delphi had reached the "core" of the demon summoning technique, on the other side, Maka had just entered this obscure mirror space.

He paused for a moment beside the hole he dug, turned around and looked inside again, and then suddenly jumped up and flew over the black and white city.

Different from Delphi, since Mundungus had previously figured out the source of the fog through Muggle memories, Maka, who knew this information, did not have to sense the breath to know where to go.

So after entering, he immediately decided to go to the entrance of the underground black market, and his speed was more than one and a half times faster than Delphi before.

"Delphi..." On the way to the gallery, Maka couldn't help but secretly said, "This time, I think you have to tell me clearly."
