——The Servant Summons.
This is also Chaldea's key research project, and the reason Akuko agreed to Chaldea's invitation was largely because of such a project. Therefore, there is no need to doubt her knowledge of Servant Summoning. Every step is understood by heart.
If you rely on your own ability to directly summon a Servant, you will undoubtedly need a very complicated magic ritual. However, because the singularity is equivalent to a special Holy Grail War, the difficulty of summoning has actually been reduced accordingly. Even if Even if there is no Master, there can always be servants summoned spontaneously...
Chaldea has been able to reach this point thanks to the help of those servants.
In each singularity, there are some heroes who are weak and weak, but still insist on fighting alone. They hit it off with the final master who protects humanity, and they are often able to create miracles.
Because it is the power of the Holy Grail that summons the Servants, being a master is just a link between the heroic spirit and the world, and then it is enough to provide the magic power that materializes in the world of the heroic spirit. But there are still steps to be taken. If there wasn’t that table in Chaldea... that shield——
So the first step is to use fresh blood, mercury, dissolved gems and other magic materials to carve a magic circle on the ground.
The so-called summoning array is composed of four "retreat" arrays surrounding the "spirit descending" array. The overall view is that a large circle is nested within a small circle, and the small circle is nested within a six-pointed star array.
The pattern is relatively simple, but the pattern-like incantations seem somewhat obscure.
Gu Mo seized this rare opportunity and stood aside to watch with interest, but he firmly memorized every step, including the details of the magic array, the necessary movements and gestures to activate the magic, and the basic Singing incantations, etc.
Because he just stood by and watched so openly, Kazuo didn't think too much. After all, he never considered that this person was actually stealing his master. He probably also thought that Gu Mo was a pseudo-server, and his true body might still be A very strong alchemist or real person would not need to do such a thing at all.
"I swear here that I am the one who accomplishes all the good deeds in this world, and I am the one who spreads all the evil in this world."
After the literature girl checked and confirmed that the magic array was correct, she chanted the spell loudly and summoned the hero on the other side of time and space.
"You are the Seven Heavens haunted by the three great speaking spirits, coming from the Wheel of Suppression, the guardian of the scales——!"
The magic power in her body was flowing faster with the chanting. For ordinary mortals, this kind of pain would be enough to make them faint and lose consciousness. However, Akuko apparently didn't feel it at all, and the magic circle also lit up. With the light, the magic in the surrounding air was stirred up, lightning thundered, and the wind and clouds rolled.
The atmosphere was turbulent, and wind pressure was howling in the valley so violently that it was difficult to open one's eyes.
The girl demon hunter who was watching curiously took a step back subconsciously, put her hand in front of her face, and turned her face away. However, Gu Mo and Ji Jing beside them were watching seriously, and their clothes and clothes were Her long hair was blown and flying in the strong wind.
The summoned pattern shines with brilliant light, and the magic friction bursts out into whirlwind and lightning, which looks majestic and extremely fantastic.
However……
Nothing happened, even though the summoning array was running accurately, even though Akuko's every step was flawless, nothing happened.
The endless overflowing light, the intertwined whirlwind and lightning, the shining magic array pattern... These are just reactions that indicate that the steps are correct and the summoning array is operating normally, as if plugged in The indicator lights of plugs and electrical appliances light up normally.
Until everything stopped, the wind and clouds rolled, the lightning and thunder all dissipated in the air like clouds and mist, returning to the original magic power itself, and no hero appeared in the summoning array.
As expected, it failed.
"..."
"..."
Kazuko seemed to be in a daze, but she quickly came to her senses. She had been mentally prepared for this. Moreover, before starting, Gu Mo also reminded her that the summoning was likely to fail... To be honest, this "It's very possible" is actually a very euphemistic way of saying it.
It's like having only three stones in your hand, and you can only do one single draw...
At least for now, Akubeko does not have the luck of the European Emperor.
She took a deep breath, hid her complex eyes behind her glasses, and shook her head with a calm expression: "It seems there is no way, the summoning failed..."
"This is also the expected result. Miss Akuko, don't be too disappointed."
Gu Mo was quite calm about this, probably just like how the First Emperor sealed Alaya in China's Lostbelt, making it impossible for the Realm Record Belt to connect to that world and isolating the Seat of Heroes. In the same way, the Singularity The world is probably experiencing a similar situation.
Although it is not completely isolated, the signal is definitely very unstable.
"But in this case, I won't have any followers, so I may not be able to help..."
The literature girl still looked a little depressed, but she did not forget to maintain her current personality. She smiled reluctantly and said softly. It seemed that her depression was due to this reason, and the reason why she wanted to summon the heroic spirit was also explained in this way.
Her current persona is that she is from the plant family in the Clock Tower, which is well-known for its witchcraft. She is one of the seven people in Group A among the forty-eight master candidates in Chaldea.
Since it's just the character of the Master, she can't go forward and tear the enemy apart, so naturally she has to summon the heroic spirit. This is a reasonable statement... Anyway, she has no plans to reveal her true identity at the moment, nor does she. She plans to use that terrifying power, but still maintains the image of a frail literature girl.
"Well, actually, it's not that big of a problem..." Gu Mo held his chin and thought for a moment, but was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! My gem——!!"
A scream with astonishing momentum suddenly resounded through the entire valley. Everyone subconsciously followed the sound and found that a black-haired girl appeared at the entrance of the valley. She was dressed elegantly, boldly and gorgeously, and exuded an unusually astonishing aura. charm.
It is an extremely attractive sight, a powerful charm that can make people subconsciously obey their opinions. It is also the divine manifestation of the goddess of beauty, even in the state of the divine spirit possessing human beings, and due to being possessed Due to the strong demands of the physical person, many of the effects were removed, and he was reduced from the original ex class to the b class.
But this charm still transcends the human realm.
This aura... is it a god? No, it seems to be a divine servant.
Kazuko instinctively became vigilant, and at the same time carefully looked at the black-haired girl who appeared opposite. After realizing that the other person did not seem to be an enemy or a human being, she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she also realized more deeply that this person at the end of the Age of Gods What is the situation of the singularity?
——The divine servants actually appeared so carelessly!
——After all, she had never participated in the previous trip to the singularity. She didn’t know what the situation was, so she subconsciously used Chaldea’s normal experimental results as the standard.
"What's your gem? This is obviously my gem, okay..." Gu Mo curled his lips and looked at Ishtar who rushed over like a whirlwind and gritted his teeth as he looked at the magic array paved with gem powder on the ground. , very clearly point out the inappropriateness in the other party's words.
"Hmph!" Ishtar gritted his teeth, his voice full of regret and pain: "Why use gems!"
As usual, I came over for a visit and saw this scene full of guilt, which made the goddess a little excited. Her eyes were fixed on the ground, staring at the magic array pattern with a diameter of two or three meters. It's not too big, but it's not that small either.
And the most important thing is... all the lines and lines of this complicated magic array pattern are drawn with gemstone powder.
"Because the only gems on hand are suitable, and aren't these things just for use?" Gu Mo said very calmly. The blood of the sacrifice must not be available here, and he didn't want to use the blood of Warcraft for fear of direct contact. The mother goddess of creation.
There is no mercury, so the most suitable materials for depicting the magic circle have been eliminated. Naturally, the only remaining option is grinding gems into powder.
"Nonsense, gems are supposed to be treasured... Don't you feel guilty for hoarding natural things like this?" Ishtar waved his hands around in excitement. At first glance, those crystal powders looked extremely pure in texture. Good gems are now being wasted so extravagantly.
These are not just one or two. If the entire magic circle is depicted like this, there will still be a lot of gems ground into powder. At least, she, a goddess who has no relationship with gems, may not be able to collect them on her own in another hundred years. quantity.
"No, things that are useful are meaningful. If you should use them, you should use them..." Gu Mo answered very calmly. Although he also has the hamster syndrome of gamers, he doesn't mean that he can only get in and out. The things collected are not intended to be used at all, they are just collected.
"Damn it, if you have so many gems, why don't you just give them to me!"
Ishtar's teeth were itching and she almost wanted to punch this person directly. This was definitely mocking herself.
"Give it to you? It's not impossible..." Gu Mo put his hand on his chin, thinking seriously, looking at Ishtar up and down, and then glanced at the mustard child next to him, wondering what he was thinking about What.
"What bad things are you thinking about?" The black-haired girl looked at him warily, "I tell you, I won't agree to anything that goes too far."
"How could it be possible? It's nothing too extreme..." Gu Mo showed a hearty smile, "If you want gems, you can also sign a contract with us and become a magical girl."
"What?"
Ishtar was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and looked at the Eastern Immortal in front of him with a strange expression, "You want to sign a contract with me and become my master? Aren't you also a servant? "
"Of course it's not me, it's Miss Kazuko..."
Gu Mo reached out and pointed at the girl with literary glasses who was listening carefully. The latter was stunned for a moment and looked at her unresponsively.
My current persona is also that of a Servant, so naturally I am not suitable for the job of Master. Kikyo probably can't get along with this overly lively goddess, even though everyone is playing with bows... As for Ciri, this still counts. Okay, just the little magic power of the witcher girl——
I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the consumption of a divine servant, and signing a contract is not a good option for both parties.
Therefore, only Akubeko is suitable. On the surface, her character is that of a magician who specializes in being a master, and she is recommended to sign a contract with Ishtar, which will not only effectively increase her own trump card, but also allow her to His previous statement became more reasonable.
After all, if Kazuko has never been able to get a follower, then Gu Mo can't act like he believes in her, the "Chaldean visitor". The last magician who saved humanity was based on Chaldea, and Chaldea is the last human being. The statement of hope is also somewhat suspicious.
Just like Fujimaru Ritsuka, if she had no followers from beginning to end and was just herself, then who would believe that this lonely master can do anything? So what, believe that she has the ability to save the world, This is obviously impossible.
It is estimated that in that case, Kazuko herself would have doubts.
"Hey, aren't they still from your side? What's the difference..." Ishtar looked at the new twin-tails and quickly lost interest, mainly because Akuko's disguise was actually really real. She is very good. From the surface, it is difficult to find out her details.
In this form, Ishtar had no magic eye or insight skills, so she naturally felt that this was just an ordinary magician, which did not arouse her interest.
"But I will not agree to this kind of proposal. Although I am very happy that you gave me the gem, this amount is not enough to bribe me..."
The goddess curled her lips and decisively rejected the other party. She was able to accept the previous exchange and exchange for gems through her own labor because she really had no way to get offerings from other places, and she also wanted to protect the people of Uruk. I had to do something, so I agreed to it smoothly.
But if you want to sign her directly, it's not that simple. Ishtar can also see that the number of gems Gu Mo has on hand is not particularly large.
And in the final analysis, this has nothing to do with the number. It is mainly because she is a goddess and has her own reserve, okay...
"Do you think there are enough ores in Uruk's treasure house?" Out of the blue, she heard the other person say this.
"Huh?" Ishtar was stunned for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, she suddenly understood, her eyes lit up at first, but it did not last for a few seconds, and she immediately became suspicious: "How is it possible? That guy Gilgamesh can't allow this to happen, right? I... …I’m not that easy to deceive…”
She would never believe such a thing. After all, every time she went to Uruk, she would be beaten and run away in embarrassment. The other party didn't care at all whether she was the city god of Uruk!
snort! It's really annoying just thinking about it...
If she hadn't been just talking about it, but actually didn't want to hurt Uruk at all, she would have used the divine bow to blow up the palace into the sky...
"This is hard to say. Even if it is impossible to hand over all the ores in the treasure house to you, it should be feasible to give up part of it. After all, it has been such a time. King Gilgamesh should also know that once Uruk has been breached, and no matter how much treasure there is in the treasury, it will be of no use..."
With the sinister idea of taking advantage of both sides, Gu Mo analyzed the situation for Ishtar in a serious manner. He knew that the goddess would definitely not believe such a thing.
It's okay if he doesn't believe it, that way he will have room to operate.
Listening to this man's talk, Ishtar couldn't help but be a little tempted. Although he still subconsciously felt that this situation was a bit fantasy, he still had some thoughts. Anyway, he would not lose anything if it worked out, but if it turned out to be true, , wouldn’t you make a lot of money by yourself?
emmmmmmm... I feel like this proposal is completely acceptable!
As for whether you have any ideas, for example, skipping the middleman and going to Uruk to discuss it yourself, the goddess has never even thought about this idea. She will not bow to the other side. This is absolutely impossible. matter!
"Well...if you can promise it, it's not impossible..." the moved goddess said in a arrogant tone, and at the same time she gently kicked the stones on the ground with one foot, her slender The golden high heels look particularly dazzling when matched with the curves of the calves that have never been seen before.
"Then it's settled. I should be able to convince King Gilgamesh to give him 20% of the ore in the treasure house..."
Gu Mo, who was familiar with the plot, nodded repeatedly. As for the remaining achievement, he regarded it as his hard work. Although he actually did nothing, he still worked hard for himself.
"Yeah, it's settled..." Ishtar was elated upon hearing this, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Both parties who reached the agreement were very happy and felt that they had made a lot of money.
Probably only Kazuko was not very happy, her expression was a bit complicated. Gu Mo blinked his eyes, took a small step closer, and comforted her in a low voice as if he had misunderstood her thoughts:
"Miss Kazuko, don't be too disappointed. Let's make do with a partner first. Although this goddess is a bit greedy for money, she always seems to be unreliable when she slips up at critical moments. We haven't even found her yet. Where did the trump card fall...but when the shortcomings are removed, she has no shortcomings."
When the shortcomings are removed, there are no shortcomings?
Kazuko was stunned for a moment, what kind of comfort is this, and she is not disappointed because of this at all, okay!
"I, I understand...Thank you, Senior Gu Mo." But at this time, it was really hard to tell her true thoughts. In order to maintain her character, she pursed her lips and said this in as calm a tone as possible, hesitating After a moment, I thanked the person in front of me.
It's really rare to be called "senpai" by Kazuko in such a quiet manner...
Gu Mo, who knew that all this was just a disguise, twitched his eyebrows and felt that it was quite subtle. After all, after returning to his true nature, he still knew how quiet Kazuko was now and how irritable he would be later on.
"Hey, what are you muttering about? If you want to sign a contract, come quickly..." Ishtar urged over there. The 20% ore in Uruk's treasure house made the goddess elated just thinking about it. , will not miss such an opportunity no matter what.
"Then, um... can we find another place? I have something to talk to Master Ishtar alone."
Kazuko spoke, showing a somewhat troubled expression.
Although she has been pretending well, if she signs a contract, there is a direct connection between the contract and magic power. Ishtar will probably find the problem immediately... She does not want to be exposed, so she can only express that she has some secrets and needs to be alone. Let’s talk.
"That's it...then come with me."
Ishtar looked at the twin-tailed girl in front of him playfully. She nodded and stretched out her hand to summon her own huge flying bow-like Ark of God.
With just a flash of light, the two girls disappeared into the valley.
"..."
"..."
"That bow is pretty good. I wonder how many gems it would cost before she would sell it. Are you interested in it, Kikyo?" Gu Mo was the first to break the silence and said jokingly.
"No, I don't need that thing..." the witch shook her head and refused.
"Equipment is actually very important. All you have now is the Heavenly Girl's Yuyi... By the way, are you wearing the Heavenly Girl's Yuyi now?" Gu Mo expressed his opinion casually, but suddenly thought of something. His eyes lingered on the miko's body in a subtle way.
The somewhat loose miko costume hid the girl's beautiful figure.
If Tiannu Hagoromo is equipped, and it's not outside, then this is...
"What are you looking at! Don't think about it! The witch seemed a little angry. She scolded, turned around and walked towards the wooden house over there.
"Um, I, I'm going to practice today's homework..." The demon hunter girl also laughed a few times, quickly quickened her pace and left here. She always felt a little afraid to approach Gu Mo, especially when she was alone. Worried that I was accidentally bought without even knowing it.
Gu Mo was the only one left in the valley.
He shrugged helplessly, smiled disapprovingly, and then moved his gaze to the still intact summoning array on the ground not far away.
