Lost Narrative Poetry

"stand at attention!"

"sit down!"

"shake hands!"

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Xia Ran kept giving out such commands in his living room on the second floor, as if he was training a dog.

In front of him was a "big dog" whose hair was glowing with a faint pearly white light. It looked unreal, like a delicate holographic image, or a ghost wolf.

Because it is really very big, with a body length of almost two meters. Its strong body and strong limbs seem to contain explosive muscle power. If it were not for its unreal appearance, no one would doubt it. ferocious……

But at this moment, it is obeying its master's orders and constantly making various actions.

——For example, running around in circles and chasing your own tail to bite.

——Or he raised his paws, as if he had reached a consensus.

Lifelike, if you don’t look at its luminous pearly white fur and completely unscientific ghost appearance, it almost looks like a real animal... But in fact it is not the case. This is the spell of "Summoning a Demon Pet" Effect.

Being able to summon a ghost wolf... In fact, there is not just one. If the mage who uses this spell is powerful enough and has boundless mana, then it is also possible to summon an overwhelming wolf pack.

But Xia Ran doesn't have any hope. There seems to be no mysterious power in the real world he lives in. For example, concepts such as magic and aura in the atmosphere may not exist, but are just very thin.

Therefore, any spell can only completely rely on his own blue bar. Just like this ghost wolf, it was summoned by directly extracting more than a quarter of his mental power.

After reading the basic theory of summoning, Xia Ran understood very well that theoretically speaking, anything summoned by summoning, whether it was a weapon or an alien creature, was just a projection.

They all have a prototype, which may exist in the current material world or in other spatial planes... but it is normal. If it were not for projection, the summoning technique would not be able to drive other creatures to work for the summoner.

Because you summoned me, I will fight to the death for you? You are so powerful, why don't you go to heaven? It is the instinct of all creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If this were the case, the summoning spell would be almost impossible to establish, and they would never respond to such a spell.

For example, a person posted a recruitment advertisement online, but instead of looking for employees, he was looking for slaves and asked others to sign a unilateral contract of sale for him, without him having to pay anything... In other words, he My only effort was to spend some time writing such a recruitment advertisement and spend some traffic to publish it online.

If like this, there are still a lot of applicants, and countless people are vying for the honor of becoming slaves, putting their own lives and freedom at risk, then there is really something wrong.

Maybe a truly ruthless person can forcibly summon and enslave beings from other worlds, and no matter whether the latter are willing or not, they have to sacrifice their lives for them.

However, such ruthless people are only a handful and have little reference value. If the summoning system can become a mainstream magic faction, it must of course cater to the standards and requirements of more mass magicians.

Therefore, if the summoning spell summons a projection, then it is possible, because even if it is destroyed, it will not really threaten the existence of the prototype... However, if the projection to be summoned is very advanced, then the prototype itself will also Aware and able to intervene.

This explains why advanced summoning techniques may fail, and even risk backlash - at that level, it can be said that it is no longer summoning projections based on traces, but more like negotiating terms and business with dangerous and powerful high-level beings.

However, Xia Ran just used a low-level basic summoning spell like "Summoning Demon Pet", and something unexpected happened.

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

Although he can still use summoning magic due to the "compatibility patch" of White Space, it has changed in a different form.

"Why does it look more and more like a Erha... ghost wolf as promised?"

Xia Ran knelt down and touched the pet's head. The latter immediately narrowed his eyes, opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue, making a loud sound, and bumped his head against his palm, as if to express his closeness.

But he knows very well that this guy actually has no independent consciousness, let alone intelligence, and even instinct does not exist.

It is purely because its existence itself is completely composed of the semi-substantial form of his mental power. It has a direct spiritual network connection with the mind of the caster, which greatly strengthens the subtle and mysterious connection of the technique itself.

It was a very strange feeling, but because of Xiao Zuo, Xia Ran didn't have any corresponding experience at all.

With his mental power strengthened to this extent, he no longer needs to use words to communicate with his left hand... and the current demon pet goes even further, as if it is an extension of his body and limbs in the outside world.

For example, the closeness it showed just now, as if it were a dog, was entirely due to Xia Ran's subconscious impression. He had several dogs in his previous hometown, and he still had some impressions of those dogs.

It was precisely because he felt that the dog would react in this way when his head was touched by him that the ghost wolf demon pet immediately reacted accordingly. After all, it was completely a spirit-like body composed of Xia Ran's mental power. And it is directly controlled by Xia Ran's thoughts.

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

But he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he always felt that the more he looked at this ghost wolf, the more its outline looked like a husky... It was an illusion, it must be an illusion, such a majestic, strong and powerful beast, it must be a wolf. Not Erha!

——Do not accept refutation!

"I just don't know what the actual combat ability is. Should I go out and test it... But this thing is so big and conspicuous, so how to take it out is a problem..." Xia Ran pinched her chin and frowned.

This creature is nearly two meters long, standing up even taller than an adult, and its whole body is glowing like pearly white, with a vague sense of transparency.

For the concept of ghost, it is indeed very standard, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, for humans, this thing is too conspicuous. It may be able to hide it under the sun during the day, just like the screen of a mobile phone usually looks very clear, but when walking in the sun, it is almost invisible... …

But it's night now, and this thing is just like a light bulb. It's hard not to attract attention.

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

"Huh?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, he stared at the dog in front of him...ah, no, he was staring at the ghost wolf in front of him. He found that the other person was squatting in front of him with a stupid look on his face, sticking out his tongue to please him, but his body It's getting bleak.

At first, he thought he had been tricked. Although the summoned demon pet lasted not only sixty seconds, but it did not last much longer than sixty seconds.

It's only been ten minutes and he's about to disappear? Damn it, this price/performance ratio is a little too low. Summoning it once in the real world will consume a lot of blue bars!

The demon pet completely dimmed in front of his eyes, the pearly white ghost light completely disappeared, and its outline almost completely disappeared, as if a snowman melted quickly in front of his eyes.

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

He squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and then he determined that the dog had not disappeared, but had become completely transparent.

When the pearly white ghost light on the body completely disappears, all that is left is the transparent body of the ghost wolf. It is not completely transparent, but a rough outline can still be seen, and when it moves When the time comes, the air where it is located will also become blurry for a while.

It's just too vague. Only by staring carefully from the beginning can you easily detect it. If you don't have such awareness, it will be no different from being invisible.

Speaking of invisibility, Xia Ran has also been thinking about it recently. The principle of invisibility has been mentioned in books, but in the illusion system, invisibility is actually psychological invisibility. The principle is not to use magic to distort light, but to make the surroundings surrounded by The person affected was completely unaware that they were seeing another person.

The principle is the same as the soft voice technique, but it is more complicated and obscure. Xia Ran can't figure it out, so he plans to just get the spell scroll to strengthen it later, so there is no need to embarrass himself.

In comparison, this characteristic of the ghost wolf is closer to the effect of normal invisibility magic.

"It seems completely fine... Well, let's test it now."

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

It is night in the city outside, but there is no tendency to fall asleep at all. Instead, it seems to be more energetic than during the day, with bustling music, lively music, thousands of lights, and an endless flow of people.

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

Xia Ran was not worried that he could not find a helpful tester to help him test the various abilities of his magic pet. However, he did not relax his vigilance. Instead, he opened the exchange list in the white space and purchased some gadgets.

It is a disposable prop that is not very valuable, but it is very effective. It can interfere with the work of surrounding electronic devices, affecting cameras and mobile phones.

Testing is necessary, because the next step is to enter a high-level magical mission 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 "Summoning Demon Pet", but also the specific effects of "Resurrection Zombie", as well as "Sword of Restraint", "Bow of Restraint" and other spells and skills for summoning weapons...

——There may even be a truly evil spell like "soul confinement".
