Chapter 328: The Eyeless Array Without Its Final Touch
Lynn shook his head and said seriously, "Definitely not. I've only been summoned once before, and they used a generic summoning magic circle."
Sir Aiwen furrowed his brow.
But that didn't make sense.
Because just now, when he tried to have this world record that magic circle, it showed a very obvious and strong rejection.
And the only explanation for such a situation was that he already had a dedicated summoning magic circle pointing to him, which prevented the Dark World from recording a duplicate one.
He paced back and forth.
Then he shook his head and smiled at Lynn. "It's fine. Perhaps you unintentionally came into contact with something before, causing you to bind with some summoning magic circle. But it's not a big problem. Through reverse tracing, I should be able to materialize that magic circle."
Lynn said with a pained expression, "So, you're saying my identity has been fraudulently registered by someone else?!"
Sir Aiwen smiled and shook his head. "I wouldn't put it that way..."
However, he didn't linger on this issue.His body floated up once more, hovering in mid-air like a ghost. He closed his eyes and said,
"Wait patiently. I'll make an attempt for you."
He began chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations again. As he cast his spell, the heavy darkness around them began to surge as well.
The Dark World was profoundly mysterious, and such a situation wasn't exactly a low-probability event.
So he wasn't too surprised either.
In a case like this, just a little bit of tracing would yield a ready-made summoning magic circle, saving the step of having to re-brand one.
Moreover, judging by this young man's strength, any magic circle that could bind with him clearly wouldn't be some large-scale formation either.
Thinking this.
He suddenly opened his eyes and sharply stretched his hand towards Lynn.
*Hum—*
Almost instantly, Lynn looked down and immediately saw a pattern of bloody lines slowly emerging beneath his feet. Accompanied by a faint glow, a crimson magic circle, under Sir Aiwen's interference, was gradually forming right under him, bit by bit.
Lynn's face showed astonishment.
Looking down from above, the magic circle, centered on Lynn, spread outwards like continuously flowing blood—crimson and eerie. The patterns on it were also exceptionally complex.
Finally, the magic circle abruptly stopped spreading when it reached about ten meters in diameter.
"This is..."
Sir Aiwen, suspended in mid-air, gazed somewhat gravely at this small magic circle.
Because he discovered that the runes on that magic circle were from a world he couldn't even identify.
And the symbol engraved at the center of the circle.
Was a closed eye...
No.
Not a closed eye. It looked more like an eye without its pupil...
A pupil-less eye.
Aiwen slowly descended from the air, his expression slightly grave. He carefully examined that intricate and exquisite magic circle, and to his surprise, he, who was proficient in magic circles, found it momentarily difficult to discern the operating principle of this formation.
"So this is the magic circle that was fraudulently used to summon me? It's kind of cool!"
Lynn stroked the crimson patterns of the magic circle on the ground.
But he swore he had never seen this magic circle before. Yet, according to Sir Aiwen, it seemed this summoning magic circle was indeed bound to him.
Lynn looked up and inquired, "Sir Aiwen, can you tell the origin of this magic circle? Are you sure this magic circle points to me?"
Aiwen concentrated, looking at the patterns above, and shook his head.
"Its origin is untraceable, but it is indeed bound to you. Moreover, it's a first-stage summoning magic circle. It's just that the patterns... are somewhat special."
However, he didn't linger on this issue.
He smiled as he looked at Lynn and said,
"Regardless, you can memorize this magic circle first, and then prepare an incantation that points to you. The magic circle is the lock, and the incantation is the key that opens that lock. Only when the two cooperate can the final summoning be completed."
"Of course, it's best if the incantation contains clear characteristics of you. The more descriptions of your features, the higher the success rate of the summoning. Understand?"
Lynn instantly gave a thumbs up and smiled. "Understood!"
...
After sending Lynn back to the Ritual Tower for the time being.
Sir Aiwen remained pensively hovering above that crimson magic circle, his gaze grave as he looked down at the mysterious pupil-less magic circle below.
Was this magic circle truly pointing to that young man?
And he clearly noticed that within the symbol of the pupil-less eye at the center of the magic circle, there seemed to be a very faint remnant of crimson patterns.
Like an eye in a painting that hadn't had its pupil added.
And most importantly.
His gaze fell on the edge of that small magic circle.
There was one point he hadn't mentioned to Lynn.
That was, during his earlier trace of this magic circle, he clearly felt that the magic circle appearing before them now didn't seem to be the complete version.
It was only... a part representing the first stage?
He frowned, then slowly hovered directly above the small magic circle.
He hesitated for a moment.
Then he closed his eyes and once again began chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations. The incantations chanted this time were clearly more complex than the previous ones.
And as he chanted, that crimson magic circle slowly began to glow brighter.
The pupil-less eye at the center seemed to have endless crimson spreading from it.
And then, in the next moment.
The outer edge of the magic circle, the crimson patterns began to flow once more. This time, they visibly spread and expanded in all directions with a rushing sound.
And by the time Sir Aiwen opened his eyes again.
The summoning magic circle had expanded to a scale that even made him feel moved.
"What in the world is this..."
...
Meanwhile, at the Ritual Tower in the outside world.
Lynn found the staff member specifically in charge of magic circle testing, then contentedly handed over the magic circle he had just memorized.
Having his own dedicated summoning magic circle wasn't enough;
further calibration and adjustment were still needed.
Only when the incantation and the magic circle cooperated to point to him one hundred percent would that be a complete summoning process.
And summoning conducted within the same world consumed far less than cross-world summoning.
Zuo Zuo glanced at Lynn, who was smiling as he held a quill pen, scribbling an incantation on paper, and said,
"Have you already thought of your summoning incantation?"
The corner of Lynn's mouth lifted, and he said,
"Of course. After all, it's something I'll use for a lifetime, so it definitely needs to be carefully polished."
Features.
Identity.
Identifier.
All were indispensable.
The next moment, Lynn put down the quill pen in his hand with immense satisfaction and said,
"Done!"
Zuo Zuo hesitantly leaned in to take a closer look.
