Chapter 88 Tattoo?
Those tiny jelly-like fruits that split off, made up of the same magical energy.
They are part of their own magic.
If you turn your clone into an "intermediary," allowing others to connect to it in some way—
By connecting with the clone, one can perceive the magical pathways he has created.
Once you perceive the network, you can access the functions within it.
Ian's jelly-like body began to glow, with golden light spots swirling wildly within it, as if it were about to explode.
Got it!
"Holy crap!" Ian jumped up abruptly. "Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"
Ms. Mo was startled: "What are you doing?"
Ian ignored her and jumped straight in front of Kiki: "Kiki! I've got it!"
Qiqi, who was holding a smoking board and cursing, was startled by him: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Ian explained his thoughts.
Using one's own clone as a "medium," turning the clone into a tool, others can perceive the magical energy flow through the clone.
After hearing this, Qiqi...
"Wow! This is interesting!"
She jumped up from the ground, grabbed a broken piece of iron plate, and began sketching on it: "Look, your clone is part of your magic. So it can naturally sense your energy channels, right?"
Ian nodded.
"So the question is: how can we allow other people to sense the energy channels through your clone? Right?"
Ian nodded again.
"Let me think... I vaguely remember... Oh! I remember now!" Kiki patted her chest, pulled a tattered notebook from the pile of tools, opened it, and pointed to a pattern made up of several magical runes. "Look at this Oath Certificate!"
Ian leaned closer to take a look.
The runes looked like a tangled mess, with dense lines intertwined, making the slime a little dizzy.
"What is this?"
"It's a contract spell, but it can be implemented through runes," Kiki said. "It's used to establish a magical connection between two individuals. For example, if you and I sign a covenant, you can sense my magical fluctuations, and I can sense yours."
She pointed at the rune, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
"If you inscribe this rune on your clone and then have Wrathhorn touch it, he will be able to establish a pact connection with your original body! Once the connection is established, he will be able to sense whatever you sense through any of your clones!"
This feels a lot like a permission whitelist.
The Oath Certificate is like a list, authorizing VIP status from the main body. The clones are like chain stores, where whitelisted customers can enjoy corresponding treatment at any clone.
Ian considered his words carefully: "You mean that this way others will share my—perception? Or skills?"
"Perception!" Kiki nodded. "Share your perception of the magical energy channels! Of course, you can also add some skills to the oath—but that's not something that can be solved with just a few runes."
Ian looked down at his jelly-like body.
I need to create a clone of myself.
Have Qiqi inscribe runes on the clone.
Then make that clone the first "connection terminal" of the Dragon Clan.
"Okay," Ian nodded and said, "Let's give it a try."
Ian immediately began to mobilize the magic power within his body.
【Split - Magical Clone】
A lump of gel swelled up from Ian's body, growing larger and larger until it finally popped off with a "pop".
A fist-sized Ian fell to the ground.
Its body is a deep blue gelatinous substance, with golden specks inside, but far fewer than on its main body.
It twitched twice on the ground, and then stopped moving.
Ian deliberately prevented any consciousness from entering the clone, keeping it completely silent, in order to avoid affecting Kiki's inscription operation.
Qiqi squatted down and stared at the little thing for a long time.
Wow.
She stuck out her index finger and poked it.
Little Ian was poked and shook, but didn't react.
Kiki's eyes crinkled with a smile: "So cute! Small, round things are definitely the cutest."
Ian, using his clone, said, "I'm not asking you to judge whether something is cute or not; I'm asking if you can inscribe runes on a living being?"
Qiqi withdrew her finger, rested her chin on her hand, and thought for a moment.
"It probably wouldn't work with humans or other creatures. But slimes—theoretically, it should. But I haven't tried it—but nobody's that bored to try something like that. Besides, ordinary slimes won't cooperate with you inscribing runes."
Her eyes grew brighter as she spoke: "Inscribing runes on a living organism! Wow! This is an unprecedented challenge! If we could inscribe an Overload Explosion rune on a slime—who would refuse a soft, tiny slime coming near!"
I knew you were planning to use a slime bomb!
The Slime Protection Association protests, calling it an absolutely inhumane act!
Ian: "—Don't you dare destroy this!"
Qiqi waved her hand: "Don't worry, I have a conscience, okay? I wouldn't do that."
She has already started preparing the tools.
Rune engraving knife, magnifying glass, magic stabilizer, and a bunch of other gadgets whose names I don't know.
He squatted down in front of little Ian and began to carve.
Qiqi's movements are very slow.
When she's working on something, she usually just yells "Whoosh, let's get started!" and then goes on a chaotic mess, doing whatever's dangerous—overload, fusion, offsetting, forced fusion, whatever the operation is most dangerous.
But this time, her fingers were as steady as if the carving knife were an extension of her arm.
Ian lay prone to the side, barely daring to breathe.
The three members of the Gilded Rose Squad had also joined in at some point and were watching the excitement from the sidelines.
"What are they doing?" Phoebe asked in a low voice.
"Inscribe runes," Ian said.
"On what should it be engraved?"
"I've created a clone."
Phoebe watched intently, and after a long pause, she managed to stammer out, "It looks like those evil rituals, like what fanatical believers in evil gods or the abyss do—"
As Ian watched the small clone being inscribed with runes, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
Isn't that just a tattoo?
What evil ritual? This is the initiation ceremony of the Red Flower Society. They worship Guan Yu, not some evil god. They worship the God of War!
The rune carving knife gently touched the surface of little Ian.
The deep blue gel was slightly concave, but not broken. As if it were alive, the gel slowly enveloped the tip of the carving knife, allowing the runes to be carved deeper.
"Huh?" Kiki was taken aback. "Is it cooperating with me?"
Ian was also stunned.
He carefully sensed the clone.
Indeed, there was a faint fluctuation inside the clone, as if it was actively guiding the direction of the runes.
Ms. Mo floated over, took a look, and nodded: "Of course a living being will cooperate. It's your magic; it will instinctively adapt to your actions."
One stroke, two strokes, three strokes.
The runes of the Oath slowly took shape on Little Ian's surface.
The runes looked like a complex magic circle, with mysterious lines intertwined.
The engraving on little Ian has a strange beauty.
On the deep blue gel, silver-white patterns emerged, interspersed with some golden specks.
