"Control Magranika? Me?" Looking at the words on the letter, the savage stood there blankly and muttered to himself, "Master Querakiri, you think too highly of me... I... How can I have this power?"

"What happened?"

Ella took the letter and glanced at the words on it. After pondering for a while, she handed the letter back to the savage's hand:

"Since your master said so, then start preparing quickly, Bobo."

"But I don't have that much power! Look at my body, can I control this huge island below?" The savage's hands were trembling. "To tame the summoned object, in other words, to enslave it! If If you don’t have enough power, you will be counterattacked!”

"To be honest, as of now, I have no interest in meeting that Quilaqiri." Ella looked at the savage coldly, "He can predict that the island will be out of control in a few months, but he is not interested in the people around him. What need is there for such a person who knows nothing about the disciple's weakness?"

The savage suddenly became angry: "Are you doubting Master Querakiri's ability?"

"You were the one who made Querakiri's ability doubtful, Bobo." Ella looked at the savage seriously, "He gave a solution to the problem, but as you said, the solution didn't work from the beginning. , isn’t it?”

This sentence choked the savage. He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and his face turned green and red. After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"I understand. I trust Master's judgment."

"I think you still don't understand your master's intention." Ella sighed, "That's all, just try it with this mood."

Amy tugged on Ella's sleeves from behind and whispered: "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why do you think you know what Quelaciri looks like better than the savage?"

"Kui Laqili wrote very clearly in his letter: 'Don't be superstitious about me, my dear disciple.' He even set a trap for this. But even so, his disciple still said in the end, 'I believe in Master. judge'."

Speaking of this, Ella shook her head with a half-smile:

"But who am I to criticize him? Plato said, 'There is Atlantis on the sea,' and I believed it. And his disciple Aristotle had long said: 'I love my teacher. , I love truth more'. So Aristotle is Aristotle, and I am just Ella."

"Your Majesty, I don't understand things that are too complicated." Amy asked in a low voice, "Are you saying that this savage can't control this big turtle under our feet? Then why don't we continue to discuss the plan with the staff group? ?”

"No, let's take a look at this savage's performance first." Ella said, "Although the disciple is useless, this letter from Quillaqili has made me a little more interested in meeting him.

The savage read the second page of the letter, closed his eyes and thought about it.

"The methods inside are all those taught by Master."

So, he began to draw the symbol of a six-pointed star on vellum: first, he drew a circle, and then connected a six-pointed star inside the circle. After that, the savage wrote "TE", "TRA", "GRAM", "MA", and "TON" on the five corners above the six-pointed star, and on the bottom corner he drew Two strange symbols that Ella didn't recognize.

"What does this mean?" Ella looked on and asked.

"These five words together are Tetragrammaton. Master Querachri said that this is the name of a certain person." The savage replied, "And when people call this name, the meaning is 'let you have omnipotence and endless power. Protect us, guard us.'"

"You?" Ella asked, "Who is that 'ru'?"

"I don't know, Master Quilachili didn't tell me. I think it probably refers to the sun war god Huitzilopochtli." The savage scratched his head, "The main purpose of making this hexagram is to allow the summoned object to The human form appears in front of me so that we can talk to it. The first step in taming Magranika is to use magic to make it appear in front of me."

After doing this, the savage took out the gold ring poured out of the pot. He brought the ring to his eyes and carefully observed the pattern on it, and muttered: "Two characters are missing." Then he took out a bone needle and began to carve words on the ring.

"This ring only has magic power when the characters are intact. Wearing it and holding it in front of my chest, its power can protect me and prevent me from being reduced to ashes by the hot breath of the summoned creature."

The savage explained his actions to Ella.

"When performing a summoning ceremony on a powerful creature, you must be careful at all times. If you are not fully prepared for protection, you will definitely be defeated by its power."

Ella took the ring from the wild man's hand and saw three concentric circles engraved on it. The outermost ring reads "Tetragrammaton" as before, the middle ring reads "Anaphaxeton", and the innermost ring reads "Michael".

"What does this mean?" Ella asked.

"Tetragrammaton, as mentioned before, Anaphaxeton is another name of his, which means 'Master of all heavenly palaces'. Michael refers to another person. Master Querachri said that it is the general of Tetragrammaton, in the ring This name is engraved in the hope of using its power to protect us.”

"Michael." Ella said the word repeatedly, "Michael, Mikal... Michael???"

"Who is Michael?" the savage asked doubtfully, "Is he famous?"

Ella stared into the savage's eyes, hoping to read something in them. But the savage blinked his eyes as if he didn't know anything.

"Okay, it's nothing." Ella sighed, "Actually, I don't know very well myself."

The magic taught to this wild man by Master Querakiri belongs to the system of the Abrahamic Church - this is something Ella is sure of now.

But this alone is not enough to infer Quillaqiri's identity. So far, Ella already knows that he lives in Aztlan, understands the doctrine of the "unknown southern continent", and also knows the swordsmanship of the Sword Clan. These three pieces of knowledge should not be able to come together in any case. The knowledge displayed by Quelaqili is so much and so complicated that Aila cannot identify its identity at all.

Having prepared the six-pointed star and ring, the savage began to draw a magic circle on the ground. This work takes several times more time than the first two combined. Not only because the magic circle is relatively large, but also because there are too many and too complex symbols in the magic circle: in the circle of a common magic circle, there is a snake with three and a half circles drawn, densely packed from the head to the tail of the snake. Abstract characters that Ella didn't recognize were drawn; in the center of the snake's coils, there was a rhombus and four six-pointed stars, with the rhombus in the middle and the six-pointed stars arranged in the four corners of the east, south, west and north. There are words of unknown meaning written on each corner; there are also four five-pointed stars drawn outside the circle of the magic circle, arranged in the four directions of southeast, northeast, southwest and northwest. There are also words of unknown meaning written on each corner. The words; there is also a triangle drawn in the southwest outside the magic circle, with "Tetragrammaton", "Anaphaxeton" and "Primeumaton" written on the three sides respectively. In addition, there are various symbols of large and small, filled in Almost every free corner is occupied, and people who look at it are dazzled.

After finishing drawing the magic circle in one breath, the savage breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

"The preparations for the ceremony have basically been completed, except for the last seal." He said, "But this seal cannot be made at any time. I can only start work when the moon is in Virgo, the twelfth house."

"That's just right," Ella said. "You can start making it when the sun goes down today."

"Tonight?" The savage was very surprised, "Why can you be so sure?"

"You know the zodiac signs, but not this?"

A bold idea suddenly came to Ella's mind. She wanted to test the savage's magic, so she replied,

"Because I am the messenger of Quetzalcoatl, so Quetzalcoatl said to me."
