The magic ritual room was an important unit of facilities in the residence of most Mages, second only to the meditation room.
Although it was called a ritual room, the most powerful defensive spells, sealing spells, detection spells, and so on would be used here. In any case, it was set up in the most secure way possible. This was because the ritual room was officially used for Mages to summon creatures, followers, and demons from other planes. Therefore, one could generally understand the level of a Mage from the layout of a ritual room.
After all, if something went wrong in a summoning, it was usually a big deal, not a small one. In order to prevent unexpected things from happening and affecting the outside world, the ritual room was equipped with the function of sealing the inside and blocking the outside world. In this way, as much as possible, things that shouldn't happen but did happen were kept within the barrier. Of course, it wasn't as if nothing went wrong.
Also, because the ritual room's protection was so strong, sometimes a Mage or an apprentice wanted to experiment with a new spell but didn't want it to affect a large area. Or to prevent accidental leakage, or to prevent others from spying on their spellcasting secrets, they would also enter the ritual room to perform magic. This was a side use of the ritual room.
However … for Luke and the Lich, other people's normal behavior wasn't something they would do. Of course, there was a magic ritual room in Estari's house in the Holy City, but the layout inside was only average. It was only used by a few magic apprentices such as Halloumi, Kaya, Leonardo, and Marchioness Barran to test their magic level. The protection wasn't strengthened further.
In the words of a certain someone, "Until now, I still haven't found a way to defend against the attack of anti-authority magic. Therefore, before anti-authority magic is developed, all defensive magic is useless. There's no need to worry too much about it."
In the Lich's words, there was nothing he couldn't solve. If there was, then what protection spells could resist such things?
In short, the two monsters who were so destructive that they didn't even know how to defend against them didn't care much about the ritual room. But there were still times when they could be useful, like today.
It was rare that the two of them were fully armed with all the weapons they could carry. Lin even hid a little cricket in his pocket. If it wasn't for the fact that the anti-authority magic was the core of the heavy sniper rifle, Lin Sanjiu would have carried this heavy sniper rifle with her.
Although Fen had thought of bringing along her most capable subordinate, the original sutured corpse, Shi Dong, the body he possessed now was a living body. This meant that Shi Dong had the needs and weaknesses of normal creatures. On the contrary, it was unlike his previous undead body, where he could go to all kinds of strange environments without any worries. In any case, his body was damaged. If it wasn't repaired, he could just replace it with a new one.
All in all, the loyal subordinate was standing outside the magic circle in the ritual room. Inside the magic circle, there were only two people standing opposite each other. They were about to cast … a third-circle apprentice spell — Elven Summoning.
Based on the current level of the two players in the magic array, Elven Summoning was a Spell that could be completed in the blink of an eye. Logically speaking, there was no need for such a large formation, and they even had to hide in a specially prepared magic array to cast it. But for Lin, summoning elemental spirits was not the main point. The main point was to chase after Ben Shuoyuan during the summoning process, find out where the summoned sprite came from, and then pay him a visit.
If he couldn't find it the first time, then he would summon it a second time, and a third time. Before his patience ran out, he would probably keep trying. At least, the method in front of him felt that it was much easier than finding the Mage Family that had the coordinates to the Elemental Plane and forcing them to hand it over.
Speaking of which, the last time the two of them cast Elven Summoning was a long time ago.
Before Lin Sanjiu entered the Tower of the Great Sage, during the time when he was out adventuring and fighting with the uncivilized goblins, he used to summon low-level earth elemental spirits as meat shields. After that, his ability to escape greatly increased, and he could run away without a word. Of course, he didn't need a meat shield to protect him anymore.
As for Fen, she probably stopped summoning elemental creatures after she learned how to summon undead creatures. Because the two had similar uses and opposite natures, elemental creatures didn't get along well with undead creatures. Nine out of ten times when they were summoned by a Lich, they would immediately cause trouble. Therefore, the last time Fen cast Elven Summoning was at least a thousand years ago when she was still learning magic.
Now that they were casting a spell after such a long time, although the two of them weren't very careful, they were still very cautious. They followed the steps in their memories and completed them step by step. There was no rush, no impatience.
First, they scattered some small pieces of Brilliant Red Magic Stones in the center of the magic formation. This was the sacrifice to summon the Elemental Spirit, and also the price to pay for the Elemental Spirit to materialize in the maze world. Basically, the higher the value of the sacrifice, the more power it contained, and the more powerful the Elven Summoner could summon.
However, as mentioned before, Lin Sanjiu focused on the process, and not on what was summoned. Moreover, there was the possibility of repeated summoning, so Lin Sanjiu didn't want to waste too many resources in such a small place.
Fen held a piece of dirt and gently placed it in the magic formation's summoning circle. This was to provide the summoned Elemental Spirit with something to attach to after it was materialized in the maze world.
If it was outside, it would be based on the Elemental Spirit's characteristics. The strength of the materialized Elven Summoner was, of course, related to the body it was attached to. The dirt and mud could only summon the lowest-level Earth Elemental Spirit.
This was also the result of Lin Sanjiu's discussion. It was not to target a specific elemental attribute, but to take turns to cast the Elven Summoner according to the order of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind. On the one hand, they hoped to compare the difference between the summoning Elven Summoner's magic during the process of changing, and then calculate the location of the Elemental Plane.
The chanting of the spell was slow and low, slowly chanting word by word. The thin power floating in the air was stimulated by the chanting, blooming with fluorescent light and gathering toward the Brilliant Red Magic Stone. Meanwhile, the authority contained within the Demon Stone turned into a stream of rainbow-colored streams that flowed into the soil.
After a while, the dirt began to vibrate, and then it began to rotate in layers. As it vibrated and rotated, the dirt changed its shape and extended its hands and feet. In an instant, it turned into a human form.
There were three factors that affected the summoning of Elves. In addition to the quality of the sacrifice and the attachment, the third factor was the summoner's strength. The clearer the appearance of the summoned Elemental Spirit, the more powerful it was. The weakest was, of course, a lump of Sludge Monster, Will-O '-the-wisp, Slime, and other low-level monsters that couldn't be distinguished.
However, the Elemental Spirit summoned by Fen and Lin Sanjiu together and with such caution was, of course, not some low-level trash. Although it was a little small, only the size of a palm, its limbs and waist were quite obvious. Although it didn't have eyes, from its head looking left and right, it was quite interested in its environment.
