Chapter 165 19. Summoning of Lower Elements
It took Annan several minutes to make Leila understand that the blue dragon was just his friend.
“And aren’t we a fire dragon family?”
“That’s just a contract between the ancestors and the fire dragon, not that the ancestor slept with the fire dragon or was slept by the fire dragon!”
From The misunderstanding about the warlock made Leila more and more afraid: "You are not allowed to participate in the Dragon Banquet!"
Annan readily agreed. The Fire Dragon Family, the Dragon Banquet... it sounds like their identity will be revealed.
"But I wonder if that blue dragon would be very beautiful if it turned into a human..."
"Beautiful...is it a female dragon?"
Bang——
“You are really up to something evil! I’ll tell the eldest sister!”
Leila punched Annan, and the villain complained first and ran out of the training ground.
Annan was not used to this kind of "close contact" yet, so he waited for a while before continuing to release the lower elemental summons. He has no elemental creature friends, so he should be able to bring surprises——
A nearly three-meter humanoid silhouette appeared on the summoning array, and its body was composed of water elements flowing like a clear spring: this is Annan’s appearance from Xingyue The large water element summoned for the last time before departure.
Low elemental summons become medium elemental summons.
But what Annan thinks is that his warlock talent is to summon the living beings he has come into contact with, and ignores strength. Just like low-level summoning spells can summon blue dragons, theoretically Annan can summon the gods as long as he has been in contact with the gods?
Now there is a problem in front of us: after the time for summoning the low-level elements ended, the large water element, like Wood before, did not go back.
A permanent elemental guard?
"Water Blade."
The large water element still obeyed the command, and a stream of water flowed towards the arrow target dozens of steps away, cutting deep marks.
An idea is brewing in Annan's mind: summon large elements by activating the magic ring, and then summon them after contact to create a permanent large elemental army.
Annan let the water element continue to release the water blade, making cuts on the hemp rope-woven arrow target. The water element only shrank in size by more than ten centimeters.
My eldest sister is knowledgeable and knowledgeable. You can ask her.
Annan led the large water element back to the corridor, asked the astonished servant Idilia where he was, and went to the study on the second floor.
Standing outside the door, Annan vaguely heard the voice coming from the room:
"Laila, while Annan's territory is being built, you should not rush him to come over."
"Don't say such words again." Leila rarely retorted to the eldest sister, "We are a family. If we are worried about and alienated from each other, what difference does it have from other families..."
Annan sighed silently and reached out to knock on the door. Ring the door.
"Sister, are you in there?"
"Come in."
Annan opened the dark brown birch door, but the scene in the study was different from what he heard. The same: Itilia was sitting in a chair, and Leila was lying in front of the desk in embarrassment, copying books.
There was still a dull pain in the abdomen, and Annan's curiosity turned into provocative words: "What's wrong with our dear second sister?"
"Laela was disrespectful to the fire dragon ancestor." Itilia said.
Annan looked at Leila with pity: "Now you dare to be disrespectful to the great ancestor of the fire dragon. In a few years, you may not even take the gods seriously."
"You ——!”
Itilia’s quiet eyes fell, and Layla stood up and leaned back on the desk: “Why doesn’t this guy need to write!”
"Annan is already a lord of the land, he can't waste time on this." Itilia said, "With a high enough status, shortcomings will turn into advantages."
"What do you mean?"
“Everyone is rushing to eat the king’s shit.”
“Annan, you are...evil...” Itilia also frowned slightly.
"Ahem...Sister, I encountered a problem."
Annan asked the large water element in the corridor to get into the study and tell them the current situation and his guess.
"Annan, you are more talented than many warlocks I know."
Itilia said happily, "As for whether it can be realized, you can ask for its opinion. ."
"It?"
"Haha Annan, you don't like studying." Layla's mocking voice came: "You don't think that elemental creatures are not life, do you?"
Annan really never knew about this...
Remembering how I bullied elemental creatures in Xingyue Bay: I let fire elements light bonfires and fireplaces because they felt they burned too slowly, I let water elements wash apples and even lay on water elements to drink them, I drove earth elements away to pave the way for landfills...
If elemental creatures had a book of hatred like the dwarves, Annan would definitely be on the list.
As for why they do nothing but order - because of the different nature of creatures.
Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, even demons, rat-men and vampires...these major races possess somewhat similar intelligence. But other beings have unique minds.
For example, the swarm consciousness of the Zerg is like a swarm;
For example, the older the stone people are, the slower their thinking is. A snail is as fast as a horse to the stone people.
Low-level elemental beings are similar to the golems in the mage tower. Only when they become giant elements or above can they have real wisdom.
The large water element listens to Annan's words, but I don't know if this is just its inertia, or if it really listens to the summoner - after all, Wood was also summoned by Annan, and it has independent thinking.
"How should I ask for its opinion?"
"Listen."
The study gradually became quiet, the whistling of the wind and snow outside the window, the crackling of firewood in the fireplace, the gurgling water element...
“What did you hear?”
“Only the sound of water flowing...”
"That's the language of the Water Tribe."
Annan once again thought of the sounds of rushing water, boiling flames, and the friction of sand and gravel when the fire, water, and earth elements were working. Is that again? The cursed cries of enslaved elementals?
"Where should I go to learn Aquatic language?"
"A learned mage. The mage tower in Breeze City can solve your problem."
But Breeze City is too It's too far away, and every day that passes, the elemental army that Annan hopes for takes shape.
"I order you to learn the common language." So Annan said to the water element.
The humanoid outline of the water elemental remained motionless.
Annan thought of a way: arrange for servants to carve the simplest common words such as "agree" and "reject" on wooden boards, and use a reward and punishment mechanism to make it understand the corresponding meanings of these two words. This way you will know whether the water element is willing or resistant.
"This is for your own good... I am the King of the North. If you come into contact with the upper levels of the main plane, you will be promoted by elemental elders or even elemental lords..."
Ignore what you hear. Leila laughed, Annan said to the water element.
After finishing the work on the water element, the first day back at the Reeves family was almost over.
Itilia suggested that Annan’s elemental army should be based on earth and water elements. The other three elements are fire element, wind element, and earth element. The first two are violent and destructive, while the earth element and water element are the most docile elemental beings.
The wind and snow that lasted all night roared outside the dark castle window.
After dinner, Annan and his two sisters said good night to each other and returned to the bedroom. Fall asleep on nights when the snow howls and the fireplace burns.
