Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 331 The Narrator

However, Sylvia showed a hesitant look on her face. She stretched out both hands, as if she was not sure whether the exchanged item was successful.

"I exchanged for a bloodline enhancement called a magic elf. According to the description given by the light ball, the magic elf is a creature made of pure magic energy. It is very similar to an arcane spirit. However, the difference between the two is that the arcane spirit body is a product of the erosion and mutation of the arcane energy. Although the body has an endless stream of arcane energy, it does not have independent thinking and can only act on instinct.

The magic elf is different. Although the magic elf can generate magic power independently, it is far inferior to the arcane spirit body, but the magic elf has a strong arcane affinity. Moreover, the bloodline provided by the main god Exchanges are all improved versions.So you don't need to worry about me turning into a glowing little blue man, at least my appearance won't change. "

Sylvia said that, in fact, she didn't pay much attention to the two bloodline talents of magic affinity and self-generated magic power brought by the magic elves. Compared with the arcane energy provided by the arcane liquid, the self-produced point It's really not enough to watch.

What she values ​​most is the special physique of the magic elf. Since the magic elf has the same compatibility with arcane energy, she will not worry about magic addiction at all, just like a fish does not have to worry about being drowned in water.

"So you can use magic without restriction now?" Xing Tianyu asked pleasantly.

"It should be, at least in theory."

"We'll just have to wait and see how it turns out."

Sylvia released dozens of spells, exhausted the magic power in her body in one breath, and then sat there and waited quietly. However, the feeling of hunger, thirst and emptiness did not appear before. She closed her eyes and could clearly see I can feel that the arcane energy in my body is gradually recovering, just like a person recovering from exhaustion, although it is slow, there is no side effect.

Opening her eyes, Sylvia suddenly revealed a look of surprise.

"It seems that the bloodline of this magic elf has indeed been exchanged successfully!"

Hearing this, everyone had different expressions, Xing Tianyu was certainly happy, but other people were congratulating, but there were expressions of regret, envy, and regret on their faces.

If they had gone all out and exchanged the Book of Other Worlds before, they could also gain great power.

But this emotion soon disappeared, and compared with the power that the lamp god's wishes and continuous summons could obtain, the points that the Lord God of Light Ball could exchange for were not so attractive.

The night passed quickly, and after a hearty breakfast the next morning, a group of people gathered on the summoning platform again.Today, it was Lucifer's turn to call.

Lucifer is very anxious. Among the seven people, three of them are bound to win the lamp god. One is Ozawa-kun, in order to lift the curse, and the other is Shadow and Scarlet Witch, who want to get rid of the magic addiction on Scarlet Witch.

In contrast, other people's attitude towards the lamp god is very eager, but they are not so impatient.

But now, Ozawa-kun's curse has been lifted, and the magic addiction on the Red Witch has been solved. In addition, the professor, lich, and Bai Shuang have recently become obsessed with the brain monster, which makes everyone's willingness to summon the lamp god, It's not that serious anymore.

Although no one said anything, there is no doubt that if there are two more setbacks, this team of summoning the lamp god may be at risk of falling apart—at least Lucifer thinks so.

So this time, he boldly made some changes to his spells and became less conservative than before.

"Okay, everyone. Let's not talk nonsense, let's start the summoning." Lucifer directly omitted the explanation of the spell, and soon the ceremony began.

Standing in the position of the summoner, Lucifer began to recite his spell.

【A mysterious existence from an unknown world】

[Eternal and immortal will, insight into all things, existence that ignores the law, a mysterious thing that plays in the world]

[I call you in the name of the lucky, I appeal to you in the name of the unfortunate, I question your existence in the name of mortals]

【In the name of the oath of the lamp god】

【I summon you to come to this world】

Although the situation of each call of the people before was different, but this time, there was still an abnormal situation.

The spell was completed quickly, and the vortex of spiritual energy was gradually formed. The consumption of spiritual power was extremely huge, only a little less than when summoning the ancient god Yuanyuan. However, in a flash of white light, when the summoning ceremony ended, everyone Nothing was found and came into this world.

Several people looked around and were surprised to find that there was nothing around except seven people.

This is the first time.

"Could that thing be invisible?" Lich asked subconsciously, and at the same time took out a mirror to look around.

The others also realized almost at the same time that things like invisibility are often encountered in the summoning ceremony, so they each resorted to tricks to detect invisibility.

However, Xing Tianyu and Bai Shuang had already turned on psionic vision, and Sylvia also released a visualization technique, while the professor scanned the surroundings with a magic lamp, and Lucifer called a few bat-winged demons that could detect invisibility , but still found nothing.It was as if nothing had been summoned, yet the summoning ceremony just now took effect again, which made everyone extremely strange and puzzled.

Although it seemed that there was nothing, the summoning ceremony just now clearly responded again, so several people were stretched to the extreme at this time, but there was nothing they could do.

Sylvia suddenly seemed to think of something, "I might have a way!" She took out a mirror from her magic pocket as she spoke. This was a magic mirror she had summoned some time ago. Touching, a golden human face immediately appeared in the magic mirror. "Any orders? My dear mistress."

"Mirror, mirror, tell me, did we summon something just now?"

"Of course, mistress. Your summoning ceremony was very successful."

"And what about the thing we summoned? Where is it? Why can't I see it?"

"It's just-"

Kacha, before the magic mirror finished speaking, a huge mark suddenly cracked on the mirror, and the face in the mirror screamed and disappeared immediately.

"Hey, magic mirror! Magic mirror! Please answer when you hear that! —Damn it!" Sylvia put away the magic mirror and looked around in surprise.

"Come out, you bastard, I know you're nearby!" Sylvia yelled twice, but seeing no response, a sneer flashed across her mouth, she closed her hands, and a silver ball of light appeared in her hand, "Here I'm showing up!" She waved her hands vigorously, and the silver ball of light immediately began to expand, spreading in all directions, and instantly coated the surrounding hundreds of meters with a layer of silver.

This magic is called [God's Vision] In theory, no matter if it is a spirit body or invisible, it will be revealed, but the result is that nothing has been made all of a sudden.

At this moment, Sylvia suddenly changed his expression.

Everyone looked around, and they all fell into a state of surprise and uncertainty for a while. The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of wind blowing through the sand.

However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

[Sylvia is obviously a little unbelievable. Her magic has let her down for the first time. Obviously, what she summoned this time is an existence that she herself cannot understand. She has seen too many strange things in the past few days, "Maybe it's time to stop." Sylvia thought that after solving her magic addiction problem, she had become less enthusiastic about summoning the lamp god. Especially when the things summoned these few times are getting weirder every time. 】

The voice sounded without warning, indifferent but steady, it didn't seem like he was talking to someone, but rather like the narration in some movies.

"Who is Sylvia?" the Lich suddenly asked. "Wait a minute, Scarlet Witch, your name is Sylvia, right?"

Bai Shuang glared at him, "In comparison, I'm more curious, what's the matter with that voice, why can't we see anything when it sounds like it's right beside us?"

"It seems that we have indeed summoned something." The professor said, and took out various other props from his backpack, and searched around Sylvia.

However nothing was found.

"It seems that that thing is neither a spirit body, nor invisible, and even has no energy fluctuations to be found. It is an existence that we can't understand at all." The professor said nervously and excitedly. "The only good thing is that so far that thing doesn't seem to be a threat.

But this has completely exceeded the common sense of everyone.

"So your name is really Sylvia?" the professor asked.

Sylvia nodded with an ugly face. The real name is very sensitive among the summoners. Everyone tried not to let others know, but unexpectedly she was inexplicably exposed. Although it is not a serious problem, it is always a hidden danger. It's a good thing they don't know my full name is Sylvia Verdela, Sylvia thought.

However, at this time, the voice sounded again.

【Sylvia suddenly discovered that her name was known by others.She didn't know how this happened. All along, she tried to hide her real name as much as possible. After all, this is the basic common sense of being a summoner.However, now, for some unknown reason, her real name has been exposed. Fortunately, they don't know my full name is Sylvia Verdela, Sylvia thought.While she was annoyed, she was thinking that she should know the real names of other people, so that would be fair.After all, her trust in these companions in front of her is very limited, especially for Lucifer and Ozawa-kun. She secretly released the magic eye on these two people to monitor their actions at any time, but she did not find anything useful. Information. 】

[However, she doesn't intend to say what she thinks in her heart, she just needs to think about some things in her heart. 】

That voice really sounded like a narration, but the content revealed by the narration made several people look at Sylvia together.

"Is it true? What kind of mysterious magic eye did you impose on the two of us?" Lucifer asked angrily.On the other hand, Ozawa-kun had the same look of anger, but it was probably because Xing Tianyu saved his life, but he didn't say anything.

Sylvia opened her mouth and was about to explain.The voice sounded again.

【Lucifer was extremely angry. He was actually being watched by his companions. This made him feel angry and guilty at the same time, because he also sent several invisible shadow demons to spy on the movements of other summoners.However, he decided to use superficial anger to cover up his inner guilt, and at the same time secretly prayed that his secret would not be discovered, but this kind of worry was probably unnecessary.Because his behavior is very stealthy, it is almost impossible to be discovered. 】

This time, everyone's eyes turned to Lucifer. "Shadow Demon, right? Let me just say, I always feel like someone is watching me." Bai Shuang said angrily, "You peeping tom!"

"I didn't—and why should we believe that voice?"

"Hmph, you know if you did it or not."

At this time, the voice sounded again.

[Bai Shuang felt sincerely disappointed, which reminded her of the invitation sent to her by a mage in the world of Atlantis a few months ago.The mage organization has always hoped to obtain the secret of summoning, and in return, they are willing to summon Hoarfrost to their world after obtaining this technology.And because of some unrealistic fantasies about the world of Atlantis, Bai Shuang has already agreed to the other party's request and provided relevant information. She has always felt guilty about this, and feels like she has betrayed the Summoner organization. , but now, the behavior of her companions made her realize that no one can be trusted, and she decided that once this action was completed, she would accept the call and leave this world that made her tired. 】

The professor's face was full of shock, "My God! Bai Shuang! How could you do this! Selling out the secret of summoning, do you know how bad your behavior is? If the council finds out."

The Lich also gloated and said, "Hmph, I knew she was not a good bird. She usually pretends to be like Snow White, but she actually betrayed our secrets. If you want me to say, we should arrest her."

[Although Lich's tone is righteous, in fact, in his heart, there are also hidden secrets. ] The voice became lively again.

"Stop!" The Lich's expression changed, and he hurriedly shouted, he looked towards the sky, uncertain where he should look. "I know what you want to say, I just shut up, okay?"

However, the voice didn't let him go.

[The secret of the Lich is that he has secretly taken refuge in the soul serpent of the world of Nelasero: Aladosak the Soul Eater, in exchange for his service, in exchange for an immortal soul, even if his body is destroyed , his soul can also be revived by the power of the Soul Eater, so he even agreed to open the portal for Nerazero when the world invaded. 】

This time, everyone's eyes were even more hostile.Bai Shuang's behavior is at best a betrayal of technology and damage to the interests of the organization.And the behavior of the Lich is a proper leading party.

"Hey, I didn't say that. I just said..." The lich wanted to explain, but couldn't seem to speak.He suddenly seemed to remember something, and shouted loudly, "Lucifer is right, why should we listen to it? That voice is simply sowing discord."

"The lich is right. Its words are clearly trying to sow discord. It is an alien creature. We all know that alien creatures cannot be trusted. If we believe it, then we have been tricked." Said It was Bai Shuang who said this.

[Bai Shuang agreed with the Lich's words for the first time, and she even felt a little grateful to the Lich in her heart. The Lich's behavior made her behavior less shameful.At the same time, the long-standing hostility towards the Lich also turned into a strange feeling at this moment. 】

"Hey, I don't have any strange feelings!" Bai Shuang shouted, but the blush on her face made her look less convincing.

But the Lich glanced at Bai Shuang in astonishment, his eyeballs rolled as if he had thought of something.

[The lich suddenly thought of a good idea, he thought that perhaps this trick could get rid of the current predicament. 】

The Lich opened his mouth, but hesitantly did not speak immediately.

"What do you want to say?" Xing Tianyu asked with a cold face.

"What I want to say is that we don't have to believe what this voice says. First of all, we are not sure that it can really know what is in our mind. At the same time, we are not sure if it can't lie, so we don't need to listen to it. "Although the Lich spoke out, he didn't have much confidence, because it was obvious that the narrator had already expressed his thoughts before he even opened his mouth.

[The lich's words drew a burst of approval. This is a very good point of view, and it can very well cover up the darkness in everyone's heart.However, they knew in their hearts that a rift had appeared, and although they could still continue their activities, they no longer had any trust in each other in their hearts.The professor was the first person to realize this. He made up his mind to leave the camp with the brain monster until tonight. In fact, he had already figured out the plan. The so-called bombs he took out at the beginning Among them, several are actually disguised teleporters. As long as he has a thought, they will teleport the 'brain monster' to a place only he knows.He has already figured out how to explain the disappearance of the brain monster. After the matter is over, he will have plenty of time to study this magical creature. 】

The professor hurriedly shook his head, "I definitely don't have that idea!"

"Are you sure? Then you don't mind handing over the management of Dream Brain?" Lich asked with a bad expression.

"The traitor who sold his soul is also willing to talk to me about trust?" The professor was also anxious.

"Who do you call a traitor?" Seeing that the sword was on the verge of breaking out, the atmosphere became tense.Xing Tianyu suddenly shouted, "Shut up!"

His roar contained the power of the spiritual master, and the scene was completely silent for a while.

"Everyone, don't forget what is the purpose of our coming here? What we want to do is to summon the lamp god, which is a very risky business. I don't know anything about your past, and I have no interest in knowing, and I don't care if you Want to escape from this world, or sell our world to others. This is your own business, I don’t want to interfere, if I have similar things, I don’t think it’s your business.”

"At the same time, it's normal for us to be wary of each other. After all, we didn't have any friendship before. It's not a strange thing to watch each other. It's out of self-defense instinct. Instincts evolved over thousands of years, those who lack these instincts, are already dead. So there is no need to be angry, deep down, you should know that this is normal, so stop pretending to be noble I don't have the time to discuss these useless things with you. Let's study how to deal with this alien creature in front of us, or how to continue to summon the lamp god."

His words made the previous tense atmosphere disappear without a trace. Everyone thinks about it. There are probably no good birds among the summoners. Everyone gathers to summon the lamp god and talk about those useless people. What are you doing.

"exactly."

"Shadow is right."

Everyone agreed, or made words of approval, or nodded silently.

The atmosphere that was originally tense with each other finally eased down.

However, that voice rang out again lingeringly.

[Shadow’s words brought the summoners back together, at least on the surface. They decided to let go of their prejudices, but what they didn’t know was that a huge crisis was approaching, and the shadow of death had enveloped all of them. On people's heads, the evil results of those unrestrained summons they carried out before are destined to bloom on this night, and this night is also destined to be a dangerous night of killing, but I don't know, How many people will be able to see the sun tomorrow morning]

After the voice finished speaking, there was a burst of eerie music that was very suitable for the occasion, just like the kind that often appears in horror movies, which made everyone subconsciously feel a sense of horror, as if there was something wrong Good things are about to happen.
