Chapter 70: Legendary Spell: [Psychic Creation]

　　 The huge empty hall is filled with clear light. The ground under Richard's feet was covered by lines that were glowing with fluorescence. The lines spread everywhere along a regular and even route, forming exquisite and complex geometric figures, cleverly interlocking with each other, and continuously extending around, finally forming a huge array with a diameter of tens of meters.
　　 That was the place where Rasputin used and held ceremonies. The magic circle used to summon the demon gods through the magic book of the ancient empire is now borrowed by Richard. He used the knowledge in his brain that once belonged to Rasputin to modify this magic circle to achieve his goal.
The magic circle designed by Rasputin is by far the largest magic circle (except for a few secret rituals that are not well known), so the materials consumed are of great value. After Richard was looking for Master Peter, who was in charge of the warehouse, to request additional ceremonial materials, the round face of the other party wrinkled subconsciously, obviously very distressed. This is only the amount Richard needs to transform the magic circle. If the entire circle is built from scratch, the materials that need to be consumed are turned into equivalent money, which is an incredible number.
　　 Of course, because it was the wizard leader's mouth, Peter Campbell had to send it up with a smile on his face even if he was bleeding in his heart.
　　……
　　Materials needed for the magic circle vary in value according to their specifications. The most expensive material far exceeds gold and is called "mysterious mercury." At this time, in the lines of the law formation in front of Richard at this time, the fluid substance that flows like water but has a metallic luster is the most precious material.
　　Mercury has always had a special and lofty position in the ancient times with a strong atmosphere of mysticism. It is considered to be the most important material in alchemy, one of the three sacred elements, a kind of "metal" with magical power. Whether in the field of Western alchemy or Chinese alchemy, the attitudes of the ancients towards mercury are similar.
But Richard, as a modern man, is different. He certainly knows the nature of mercury. He knows that it is not a metal. He knows its usefulness and toxicity. It is far from the goal of alchemy, not to mention. What is the "special magic". That's why he was curious: Why does the magic circle constructed with mercury have a powerful effect?
　　 Richard quickly got the answer: He was fooled by the name "Mystery Mercury". This fluid is not mercury at all, or most of its components are not-real mercury only acts as a conductive intermediary in it, that is, "mercury slip ring", which is an expensive precision component-the rest The main body is a compound substance that is difficult to identify by Richard. He suspects that this is not the material that can be seen in the 21st century at all.
　　 Richard’s previous question: Why does the magic circle through specific symbols and rituals work? Now he at least understands some of the reasons. Miss real name revealed the answer for him: The working principle of "Mystery Mercury" is a special chemical computer that uses the formation and diffusion of ion waves to simulate the operation of ordinary computers, replacing electrons with ions, and using a jelly-like fluid The material is used as a substitute for silicon chips and circuit boards. This is a concept that has existed in the past years, but the material and technical requirements are too high, and the cost far exceeds the benefits. Therefore, it only stays on paper and has not received widespread support, let alone manufacturing and popularization in the industry.
The ritual material (mysterious mercury) is used as the basis of the physical computer, and the pattern symbols of the magic circle are used as the information carried on it. Richard believes that this is the basic principle of the magic circle. In addition, there are alternative terminals. The human body and the magic book can also form part of the ceremony.
　　……
　　 Putting aside the analysis of the principle for the time being, the reason Richard wants to use the magic circle is very simple. Because he needs "magic power", he needs to be able to realize the magic power of the "legendary spell" that Rasputin possesses. It is impossible to rely on wizard apprentices or knight attendants, only the power of the magic circle.
　　 And this process is simpler than I thought.
　　 There is a deviation in his past understanding. Legendary spells are more like a kind of personal secret knowledge, a technology that only a few people can achieve, rather than "one-time cast" ordinary spells, otherwise there is no difference between legendary spells and basic "fireball" . Perhaps some legendary spells can really release fireballs that are 10,000 times larger than ordinary fireballs, but the principle of their realization is by no means as simple as "providing greater magic power".
　　 Reality is not a video game. It is not that providing a portion of energy can achieve a portion of fire damage, and providing 10,000 energy can naturally cause 10,000 times of firepower. The higher the emergy and value, the more complex the system behind it, and it can even be realized only by using completely different principles and laws.
　　 In short, once the legendary spell is realized, it is more like an innate instinct, or talent, for the legendary wizard, so it is possible to take effect under the condition of low magic power.
　　 snake stick is the best example. Rasputin used the magic power of the master level to create magic items of the master level, but the principle is still his "legendary spell"
　　[Psychic Creation], Rasputin named it like this.
　　 Richard knows the meaning of "spirit medium". As the name suggests, its most basic meaning is "psychic medium". In the occult, it can refer to people or things, the former tends to appear more frequently. Just like wizards, shamans, and warlocks, people who call themselves "spirits" often say that they have the ability to communicate with spirit bodies and with another world. They can drive ghosts and gods to possess their bodies.
As one of the pinnacles of the psychic field, the spell developed by Novich Rasputin is closely related to the meaning of its name: [Spiritual Creation] can permanently "possess" the spirit body in people Or the body of an object, so that the other party can use the full power of the spirit body, this process is "psychic transformation." The reason why the snake rod can have the effect of surpassing the alchemy props-in Richard's view, the snake rod that can release seven spells is more like a living mental master-the reason is that Rasputin made a master rank The spirit body was attached to the cane.
Richard immediately realized the significance of this spell to him; in Rasputin’s authority system, there are two
documents
that reach the rank of legend, one is the legendary spell [psychic creation], and the other is Contract with the legendary level spirit-[Spell Lord].
　　The Lord of Cursed Spirit not only possesses high intelligence, but his own power is comparable to that of human wizards of the same level. In other words, if you can find a way to use the spells of [Spirit Medium Creation] to have the Lord of the Curse Spirit possess an object or someone, Richard will be able to successfully master the power of the legendary rank!
　　 This is the special feature of wizards in the psychic domain. Most of their power actually comes from the spirit body with whom they signed a contract. The same is true for Rasputin, his frontal combat power is mainly concentrated on the Lord of Cursed Spirit. Of course, he also mastered knowledge such as the direction of the natural field and the field of spells, but he will not exceed the master level if he can exert his power. If he loses the lord of the spell, his advantage in regular battles is only as a legend. The magic of the wizard is gone.
　　 Generally speaking, even if Rasputin possesses the magic power of a legendary rank, he can only assume a legendary spirit body like the Lord of Cursed Spirit. To go further, it may be necessary to reach the state of "anointed" like Marion Green in order to have plural contracts.
Therefore, in order to strengthen his own strength, Rasputin definitely hopes to use his own legendary spells, bypassing the limitations and burdens of magic power, and gain the allegiance of the second legendary spirit body by means of psychic transformation; this and Now, Richard, who is troubled by apprentice-level magic and can't use the power of a legendary wizard, has the same idea. It's just that all he wants is to get back the basic power.
　　 Now, the goal I want to achieve and the path to achieve this goal are all clear. But this process is still not easy:
　　 First of all, it is a body that needs "spiritualization". The most basic requirement is that the possessed spirit body and the elemental body must be equal in step position. For example, if you want a master-level spirit body to complete possession on a person, the psychic body needs at least a magic master; and, even though the body of [psychic creation] is "human" and "Things" can be used, but in the actual process, the resources needed to make a person a psychic is much higher than that of things, and the calculation process is also very complicated. Therefore, Rasputin generally uses objects as much as possible.
　　 Not only that, items will not struggle, will not betray, will not be out of control, which is obviously a better choice for the indifferent wizard leader.
　　 There are also several files in his database, which are about a few wizards who are "fortunate" to be "spiritual mediums." However, they are nothing more than guinea pigs used by Rasputin to perfect spells, and they have all been "processed" now. Rasputin's terrible image in the minds of his subordinates was established from this-no one wanted to be the next sacrifice just because they annoyed Rasputin.
　　 Seeing this, Richard couldn't help but frowned. However, this level is still within the expected range, anyway, he has long known that someone replaced by him is a scumbag. Putting aside personal emotions, Rasputin's numerous crimes will not change.
　　 However, at present, like Rasputin, he has no intention of letting people be used as a "spiritualized" body. On the one hand, it is the degree of difficulty: Richard is the first time he has tried to use the magic of [Spirit Creation], and he has no confidence in completing the complicated process of possessing human beings; on the other hand, the risk of choosing other wizards as psychics will be Very high, especially for him as a counterfeit.
　　 and there are very few choices left. The "things" that can be used as psychic bodies are actually very scarce. Rasputin tried for decades, but only found one, that is, the "Magic Book". Richard knows the reason for this. It is nothing more than that the magic book and the human body have the same properties; or, conversely, the human body has properties similar to the terminal.
　　...And the most frustrating thing is that it is impossible for the general magic book to reach the rank of legend.
　　 Of course, this is not without a solution. Rasputin didn't give up. Through collecting information, he quickly found in the historical records an item that was similar in nature to the Book of Magic, but was a hundred times more powerful. That was the obelisk handed down from the ancient empires of the Golden Age.
"I'm afraid this is the reason why he has always wanted the obelisk... This is a treasure that is beyond the reach of the legendary wizard. No wonder Longman Hall is so confident, Rasputin's opponent The obelisk's desire has not been concealed, it is likely that everyone in the top of the magic tower knows it..."
　　 Richard thought so.
　　 However, Longman Hall and other wizard leaders should not be clear about the importance of the obelisk to Rasputin. For wizards, although it is an invaluable treasure, its more important meaning is that it is not indispensable for a certain organization or group, and for individual legendary wizards~EbookFREE.me~In this world, Only Rasputin, who has mastered [Spirit Medium Creation], can make the Obelisk play a truly incredible value.
If anyone knew that Rasputin could master the two legendary spirit bodies through the obelisk, and further possess the power equivalent to the
anointed one,
Longman Hall would never give him the obelisk—at least, Would not take it as a gift of alliance so readily.
　　 Now, the obelisk has fallen into Richard's hands. If Rasputin is still alive, he can already proceed to summon a second legendary spirit body, find a way to sign a contract, and let it be attached to the obelisk.
　　 But for the apprentice, there is one last question.
　　That is... his magical power is simply not enough to support the process of spiritualizing the obelisk.
　　……
　　 Richard came to the magic circle shimmering with mystery mercury.
　　 In the center of the magic circle, there are two magic books. One of them was given to him by Mr. Evelyn, hoping to make a high-level magic item with this; and the other is the knowledge of summoning the real name of the demon god, belonging to Rasputin’s ancient imperial magic book, possessed The highest quality known to date.
　　 "This is the limit..."
　　 Even the highest specification magic circle can only replace the "spiritualization" of the master-level body.
　　 Richard sighed, but in the end he was limited in magic. It was because of his lack of magic power that he could not truly possess the power of a legendary wizard, so he tried every means to bypass the restrictions.
The young man couldn't help but rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers. He felt like he had turned around and returned to the original point after working hard... Although he knew he had gained a lot, he felt stuck in the last step. , But there is a kind of maddening irritability.
