The Righteous Player(s)

Chapter 612 Spell-Binding

"It's really hard for me to imagine."

Annan couldn't help complaining: "Soronic will like his new identity so much."

"It's hard for me to imagine, too."

Nefertari shrugged.

She sat on the table facing Annan, flipped through one of the newspapers, and sighed in a low voice: "I dreamed that it would be great if I were Celesia. But I never thought that Celesia is just A phantom that doesn't exist..."

"The curse of the substitute system is like this."

Annan pointed at himself and said with a smile, "Isn't it the same for 'Ghirlandaio'?"

"It's still not the same..."

Nefertari's expression was a bit complicated.

how to say.

Probably because the real person in "Ghirlandaio" is cuter than this image; while "Selicia"'s body is not as cute as her... There is a wonderful sense of disillusionment.

"However, the technology for making 'stand-ins' should come from the Melvin family."

Nefertari explained: "What the teacher is good at is the law of contagion. That is, the spell of interfering with others by using 'items connected with people'.

"This shows that after the teacher got Frederick's body, he probably also got the knowledge and skills he possessed."

"Have you studied the spells and spells of the substitute system?"

Annan asked Nefertali with great interest: "I don't know much about this."

Although there are three types of substitute spells directly related to him...

[The last work "David"] is a typical example.

Its essence is a taboo-type spell, in order to prevent Annan from using, revealing, or disseminating "Forbidden Ritual: Superposition of Death and Life" in any way.As a reward given by the man in the mirror, Annan can use the power of this curse to transform into "Girandaio David Buonaro".

This is a body that was made in advance and cursed.

Dove exchanged bodies with Chocolate, which is essentially affected by this type of curse; and Annan's commonly used spell "elf leather gloves" is the same thing-if you wear elf leather gloves for too long, your skin will be damaged. It will be replaced by it; then, the skin belonging to the "elf" will spread upward from the arms until the whole body is replaced by the elf.

That is definitely not the elf of the user himself.

Rather, it was an ancient elf who gained another kind of rebirth in this way.Of course, the manipulator will still be the one wearing the glove.But his/her whole body will be replaced by a leather case that cannot be taken off.

In the same way, "Selecia" is the same.

Professor Wolf must first use some kind of material to make this body...Of course, as a girl, Selicia probably couldn't make it out of marble like Ghirlandaio.

As for how fine the body is, what material it is made of, whether there is a "reference prototype", how strong it is, and what occupation it is... These are things that only Professor Wolf and Selicia know.

If Annan thinks that "Girandaio" is more useful than his own body, he can also learn the spells of the idol and prophet schools.In this way, as long as he is in the form of "Girandaio", he can use these spells smoothly.

Annan did not do this because he only used "Ghirlandaio" as a vest.

After all, "Ghirlandaio" cannot be promoted. Although it was indeed very powerful when Annan was at the Bronze rank, as Annan upgraded, it would gradually become less powerful.

Annan also didn't know how "Selicia" made advanced gold.

Maybe she was originally a Gold Rank?Or the treasure ship "Silver" can be forced to advance...or it may be Professor Wolf's special craft.

For example, when Annan advances to the golden rank, "Girandaio" will also be unable to use the power of elements.

This change of identity is very thorough.Only "knowledge" and "skills" can be used in common.

Even Annan's walking and talking habits will be changed. The cheerful smile on the face of "Ghirlandaio" is the proof.

"—What I can be sure of is that 'Selicia' should be a real person."

Nefertari said slowly: "Because if Thoronick's body advances to the gold rank, it has nothing to do with Celesia. So it must be that 'Selesia' has advanced to the gold rank...and wants to let For a substitute to advance, it must be made of a living person."

This is roughly the case for the curse of the stand-in system.

Both replace the body with another "pre-existing" body that has been enchanted by a shaman of the school of idols.This method of activating and confining a certain body is also a spell of the idol school.

Except for "humans" like Ghirlandaio and Celicia, and cats like Chocolate.

Golems made of pure stones, or completely inanimate forms such as scarecrows and tin woodmen are also acceptable.

"The curse of the substitute system is essentially a law-like spell."

Nefertari explained: "For example, if you make a human figure out of mud, ash, or cloth, use decorations to make him 'like' someone, and then hurt him with a ritual knife, then their enemies can also suffer the same pain. .

"Or use wax, gemstones, or obsidian to make horrible images. Hide them in the other party's bedroom, and you can let the other party be killed by this horrible image in a dream-or use it to invade other people. Human nightmares, artificially increasing the difficulty of nightmares.

"These are similar legal spells that the Melvin family is good at."

Something similar to it has some kind of connection.

Then if this connection is deepened alone, then something that is "not so similar" can also become a "stand-in" that is closely connected with someone.Then it can replace and replace the existence of this person.

"The substitute spell can be traced back to before the second generation. When used alone, it can turn someone into a frog, snake or apple. This is usually used as a very difficult attack spell to prevent the opponent from being resurrected. In the second generation where resurrection ability is quite common, this is a common countermeasure.”

Nefertari said slowly: "The transformation of substitutes—that is, the oldest application of 'favorable transformation' can be traced back to the third generation.

"At that time, the elves had a kind of magical energy, which made their civilization extremely prosperous. The dragon hoped that he could also become an elf to enjoy it, so he developed this spell...create a complex double in advance, and fix it as a Instantly triggers the spell. This can greatly reduce the difficulty of casting spells during each transformation.

"Later, the spell was spread, and some Yaselan people wanted to use this spell to become Oser. Therefore, there were incidents where elves and centaurs were attacked... After that, this spell even spread to the Oser people Some elves also hope to become elves with a higher status and replace each other's lives—so later, this spell was banned by legislation.

"Long after the extinction of the elves, during the wizarding war, the Melvin family restored this spell through the remains of the elves. Although they did not keep it strictly secret, if you want to use this spell, you must follow the 'Law of Similarity' Carry out extremely deep research... The new god 'Mirror Man' who is also proficient in the law of similarity has been sublimated, so no one except the Melvin family can use this spell."

"……I see."

Annan suddenly realized.

The "Elf Leather Gloves" turned out not to be an elf who wanted to be resurrected through this method... but a certain Yaselan, or a certain elf, who wanted to use this cursed object to change his identity!
I don't know why, but the person who made this spell didn't have time to use it.

So it was handed down.

As for the ability to double cast spells, it seems to be just a side effect of it...

It's no wonder that the relics of the elves can make Chocolate and Dove swap bodies.Because this was originally a popular spell in the age of elves!
...Based on Annan's knowledge of the elves' ruins.

In order to gain knowledge from the elven relics, one must have a certain purity of elven blood or a direct elven occupation.

So to say.

The Melvin family seems to have quite a relationship with elves.
