Chapter 169 Draw Cards
——Servant summons.

This is also a key research project of Chaldea, and the reason why Kaldea agreed to Chaldea's invitation is largely because of such a project, so there is no need to doubt her knowledge of the summoning of servants. Every step is thoroughly familiar.

If you rely on your own ability to directly summon Servants, it will undoubtedly require quite complicated magic rituals, but because the singularity is equivalent to a special Holy Grail War, the difficulty of summoning is actually reduced a lot, even if Even if there is no master, there will always be servants who are spontaneously summoned...

Chaldea was able to go all the way to this point, thanks to the help of those servants.

Every singularity has some heroes who are weak, but still insist on fighting alone. They hit it off with the last master who protects humanity, and often they can 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 magical power to materialize in the world of the heroic spirit.But steps still have to be taken, if there is no Chaldean table...that shield——

Then the first step is to use magic materials such as fresh blood, mercury, and dissolved gems to depict a magic circle on the ground.

The so-called summoning array is composed of four "retreat" arrays surrounding the "spirit descending" array. Overall, it looks like a small circle nested inside a large circle, and a six-pointed star array is nestled inside the small circle.
The patterns are relatively simple, but those spells that look like patterns are somewhat obscure.

Gu Mo seized this rare opportunity, stood by and watched with interest, but firmly memorized every step, including the details of describing the magic circle, the movements and gestures necessary to activate the magic, and the basics. Mantras chanted, blah blah blah.

Because he just stood by and watched so generously, Kao Chiko didn't think too much about it. After all, he never considered that this person was actually stealing a teacher. He probably thought that Gu Mo was a pseudo-servant, and the main body might still be Strong alchemists or real people don't need to do this kind of thing at all.

"I swear here..."

After the girl from the Department of Literature checked and confirmed that the magic array was correct, she chanted the spell aloud and summoned the hero on the other side of time and space.

"From the wheel of restraint, O guardian of the scales—!"

The magic power in the body is speeding up along with the chants. For ordinary mortals, this kind of pain is enough to make them faint and lose consciousness. The magic power in the surrounding air was stirred up, lightning and thunder rumbled, and the wind and clouds swirled.

The atmosphere was turbulent, and the valley roared with a wind pressure so violent that it was hard to open the eyes.

The witcher girl who was watching curiously from the side took a step back subconsciously, stretched out her hand to block her face, and turned her face away, while Gu Mo and Kikyo next to her were watching seriously. Her long hair was blown wildly in the strong wind.

The summoned pattern shone brilliantly, and the friction of magic power burst out whirlwinds and lightning, which looked huge and fantastic.

however……

Nothing happened, even though the summoning array was running accurately, even though Mustard Seed's every step was flawless, nothing happened.

The endless flood of light, the whirlwind and lightning intertwined and rubbed together, the gleaming magic array pattern...these are just the responses that indicate that the steps are correct and the summoning array is operating normally, just like plugged in. The indicator lights of the plugs and electrical appliances are normally on.

Until everything stopped, the wind and clouds rolled, the lightning flashed and thundered, all dissipated in the air like clouds and mist, and returned to the original magic power itself, and no hero appeared in the summoning array.

As expected, it failed.

"..."

"..."

Mustard Seed seemed to be in a daze, but she soon came back to her senses. She was mentally prepared for this, and before starting, Gu Mo also reminded her that the summoning might fail... To be honest, this "Very likely" is actually a very euphemistic expression.

It's like having only three stones in your hand, and you can only draw one shot...

At least for now, Mustard Chiko does not have the same luck as the European Emperor's destiny.

She took a deep breath, hid all the complicated eyes behind the glasses, and shook her head calmly: "It seems that there is no way, the summoning failed..."

"This is also the expected result, you don't have to be too disappointed, Miss Kua Hinako."

Gu Mo is quite calm about this, probably just like the first emperor who sealed Alaya in China's Hearing Belt, making the Realm Recording Belt unable to connect with the world and isolating the Seat of Heroes, then the same reason, the singularity The world is estimated to have encountered a similar situation.

Although not completely isolated, the signal must be very unstable.

"But in this case, I have no followers, and I may not be able to help..."

The girl from the Department of Literature still looked a little gloomy, but she didn't forget to maintain her current personality, she forced a smile and said so softly.It seems that her depression is due to such a reason, and the reason for wanting to summon the heroic spirit is also such a statement.

Her current character design is one of the seven members of Group A among the 48 master candidates of Chaldea, who was born in the Clock Tower, a plant family well-known for witch studies.

Since it's just the character design of the master, she can't go forward and tear the enemy, so naturally she has to summon the heroic spirit, which is a reasonable statement... Anyway, she has no intention of revealing her true identity at the moment, nor does she She intends to use that terrible power, but still maintains the image of a weak girl from the literature department.

"This, it's actually not a big problem..." Gu Mo pinched his chin and thought for a while, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted directly.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)!"

The screams with astonishing momentum suddenly resounded throughout the valley, and everyone subconsciously followed the prestige, and found that a black-haired girl appeared at the entrance of the valley, dressed elegantly, boldly and gorgeously, exuding an astonishing aura all over her body. charm.

That is an incomparably attractive sight, incomparably convincing, and a powerful charm that subconsciously obeys its opinions. It is also the divinity manifestation of the goddess of beauty. The strong request of the body person removed a lot of effects, and dropped from the original EX class to the B class.

But this charm is still beyond the realm of human beings.

This air... is it a god?No, it looks like a divine servant.

Mustako became vigilant instinctively, and at the same time carefully looked at the black-haired girl who appeared on the opposite side. After realizing that the other party did not seem to be an enemy or a human being, she was relieved. At the same time, she also realized more deeply that this late God Age What is the singularity?

——Divine servants have appeared so carelessly!

——After all, she has never participated in the previous trip to the singularity. She does not know what happened, and subconsciously uses the normal experimental results of Chaldea as the standard.

"What is your gem, this is obviously my gem, okay..." Gu Mo curled his lips, watching Ishtar rushing towards him like a whirlwind, gnashing his teeth, looking at the magic circle made of gem powder on the ground , very clearly pointed out the inadequacies in the other party's words.

"Hmph!" Ishtar gritted his teeth fiercely, his voice full of regret and pain: "Why use gems!"

As usual, I came to visit the door and saw this scene full of guilt, which made the goddess a little excited. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the ground, staring at the magic circle pattern with a diameter of two or three meters. It's not too big, but it's not too small to go there.

And the most important thing is... all the lines and patterns of this complex magic array pattern are drawn by gem powder.

"Because only gemstones are suitable for my hand, and aren't these things just for use?" Gu Mo said very calmly. The blood of sacrifices is definitely not available here, and he doesn't want to use the blood of monsters. Go to the Creator Goddess.

And there is no mercury. The material that is most suitable for drawing magic circles is out of three, and the only option left is to grind gems into powder.

"Nonsense, gems are supposed to be treasured... don't you feel guilty if you spend so much money?" Ishtar waved his hands in excitement, and those crystal powders looked extremely pure at first glance. Good gems are being wasted so extravagantly now.

This is not one or two. If the entire magic circle is described in this way, the number of gems that have been ground into powder is still quite a lot, at least the number that she, a goddess who has no relationship with gems, may not be able to collect in another 100 years. .

"No, what is useful is meaningful, and what should be used is still necessary..." Gu Mo replied very flatly, although he also has the player's hamster syndrome, but it is not enough to say that he can only get in and out, The things collected are not intended to be used at all, but are only used for collection.

"Damn, if you have so many gems, why don't you just give them to me!"

Ishtar's teeth were itchy, and he almost wanted to punch this man directly, which was definitely mocking himself.

"Give it to you? It's not impossible..." Gu Mo rested his hand on his chin, thinking seriously, looked up and down at Ishtar, and then glanced at Mustard next to him, wondering what he was thinking What.

"What bad things are you thinking about?" The black-haired girl looked at him with some vigilance, "I tell you, I won't agree to things that go too far."

"How come, it's not too much..." 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 slightly taken aback, but then he understood, and looked at the oriental fairy 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 Kua Hinako..."

Gu Mo stretched out his hand and pointed to the girl with literary glasses who was listening seriously. The latter was stunned for a moment, and looked at her without reacting.

My current character design is also a pseudo-servant, so naturally it is not suitable for the job of the master. Kikyo probably doesn't get along well with this overly lively goddess, although everyone is a bow... As for Shirley, this is still considered Well, with the magic power of a witcher girl——

I am afraid that it is difficult to support the consumption of a divine servant, and signing a contract is not a good choice for both parties.

Therefore, only Kua Hinako is suitable. On the surface, her character design is a full-time magician as the master, and recommending her to sign a contract with Ishtar can not only effectively increase her own cards, but also allow her His previous statement became more reasonable.

After all, if Mustard has never been able to get a follower, then Gu Mo is not good at acting as if she believes in her as a "Chaldean visitor". What was established before is the last magician who saves humanity, and Chaldea is the last human being. The claims on the hope of the country will also appear somewhat dubious.

Just like Fujimaru Tachika, if she has no followers from the beginning to the end, but only herself, then who would believe that this lonely master can do anything? What, I believe that she has the ability to save the world, This is obviously impossible.

It is estimated that if it is like that, Kabanko herself will have doubts.

"Hey, that's still from your side, what's the difference..." Ishtar looked at the new double ponytails, and soon lost interest, mainly because mustard seed's disguise was actually real. She is very good. On the surface, it is difficult to find out her details.

In this form of Ishtar, there is no magic eye or insight skills. Naturally, she feels that this is an ordinary magician, which does not arouse her interest.

"However, I will not agree to this kind of proposal. Although I am very happy that you gave me the gem, but this kind of weight is not enough to buy me..."

The goddess curled her lips and rejected the other party decisively. She was able to accept the previous exchange and exchange gems through her own labor because she really had no way to get offerings from other places, and she wanted to protect the people of Uruk. To do things, that's why I agreed to it smoothly.

But if you want to sign her directly, it's not that simple. Ishtar can somewhat tell that Gu Mo doesn't have a lot of gems on hand.

And in the final analysis, it has nothing to do with the number, mainly because she is a goddess, she has her own reserve, okay...

"Do you think there are enough ores in Uruk's treasure house?" Unexpectedly, she heard such a sentence from the other side.

"Huh?" Ishtar was taken aback for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, she suddenly understood, her eyes lit up first, but it didn't last for a few seconds, and she immediately became suspicious: "How is it possible, that guy Gilgamesh couldn't have allowed this to happen, right? I... ...I'm not so easy to deceive..."

She would never believe such a thing. After all, every time she went to Uruk, she would be beaten and fled in a panic. The other side didn't care at all whether she was the city god of Uruk!
snort!It's really annoying to think about it...

If she hadn't been just yelling all the time and didn't want to hurt Uruk at all, she would have blown the palace up into the sky with the divine bow...

"This is not good. Even if it is impossible to hand over all the ore in the treasure house to you, it should be feasible to give up some of the ore. After all, it is already such a time. King Gilgamesh should also know that once Uruk has been breached, and no amount of treasure in the treasury will be useful..."

With the black-bellied idea of ​​eating both ends, Gu Mo seriously analyzed the situation for Ishtar, and he knew that the goddess would definitely not believe such a thing.

Don't believe me, that's how he has room to manipulate.

Listening to this man's eloquent talk, Ishtar couldn't help but feel a little tempted. Although he still subconsciously felt that this situation was a bit unreal, he still had a little bit of thought in his mind. Anyway, he didn't lose if it worked out, but once it was true , don't you just make a lot of money?
emmmmmmm... I feel like this proposal is totally fine!
As for whether there is any idea, for example, to skip the middleman and go to Uruk to discuss it by yourself. This kind of idea, the goddess, has never even thought about it, so she will not bow to the opposite side. This is absolutely impossible. matter!

"Well... if you can guarantee it, then it's not impossible..." The goddess-sama who was moved said so, in an arrogant tone, and at the same time kicked the stone lightly with one foot on the ground, her slender The golden high heels are paired with the wonderful curve of the calf that has never been seen before, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Then it's settled, I should be sure to persuade King Gilgamesh to give [-]% of the ore in the treasure house..."

Gu Mo, who is familiar with the plot, nodded repeatedly. As for the remaining achievement, he regarded it as his hard work. Although he didn't do anything, he still worked hard on himself.

"Yeah, that's the deal..." Ishtar was elated, and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Both parties who have reached an agreement are very happy and feel that they have made a lot of money.

Probably only Mustard Chiko was not very happy, her expression was a little complicated, Gu Mo blinked, took a small step closer, and comforted her in a low voice as if she had misunderstood her thoughts:
"Miss Kua Hinako, 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 unreliable when she loses the chain at a critical moment, and she hasn't even been found 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?

Kua Chiko was stunned for a moment, what kind of comfort is this, and she is not lost because of this at all, okay!

"I, I understand... Thank you, Senior Mo." But at this time, it was really difficult to express her true thoughts. In order to maintain her personality, she pursed her lips and said this in a calm tone as much as possible, hesitated For a moment, thank you to the person in front of you.

It's really rare to be called senior by Kao Hinako so quietly...

Knowing that all of this is just a disguise, Gu Mo twitched his eyebrows, feeling quite subtle. After all, after returning to his original nature, he still knows how quiet and irritable Mustard Chiko is now.

"Hey, what are you muttering about? If you want to sign a contract, come quickly..." Ishtar kept urging over there. Just thinking about the [-]% ore in Uruk's treasury made the goddess happy. , in any case will not miss such an opportunity.

"That, that... can we find another place, I have something to talk to Lord Ishtar alone."

Kabanko spoke, showing a somewhat troubled expression.

Although she has been disguised very well, if she signs a contract, there is a direct connection between the contract and the magic power. It is estimated that Ishtar will find out the problem at the first time... She does not want to be exposed, and can only express that she has some secrets and needs to be alone. talk about it.

"That's it...then come with me."

Ishtar looked playfully at the girl with twin ponytails in front of her. She nodded, and stretched out her hand to summon her huge flying bow-like God's Boat.

Just a flash of light, and the two girls disappeared into the valley.

"..."

"..."

"That bow is pretty good. I don't know how many gems she would need to sell it. Do you have any interest in Kikyo?" Gu Mo was the first to break the silence and said this jokingly.

"No, I don't need that thing..." The witch lightly shook her head and refused.

"Equipment is actually very important. You only have the celestial maiden feather robe now... By the way, are you wearing the celestial maiden feather robe now?" Gu Mo expressed his opinion very casually, and suddenly thought of something, His eyes wandered subtly over Miko's body.

The somewhat loose priestess costume concealed the beautiful figure of the girl.

If Tiannv Yuyi is equipped, and it is not outside, then this is...

"What are you looking at! Don't think about it!" The witch seemed a little embarrassed, she turned around and walked to the wooden house over there.

"Well, I, I'm going to practice today's homework..." The witcher girl also laughed a few times, quickened her pace and left here. Now she always feels a little afraid to approach Gu Mo, especially when she is alone. Worried that I was accidentally sold without knowing it.

Gu Mo was the only one left in the valley.

He shrugged helplessly, smiled disapprovingly, and then moved his eyes to the still intact summoning array on the ground not far away.
