Summoning Total War

"Okay." Murphy was quickly defeated by the girl's pitiful appearance. He reached out to take the [Oath-Sword of Victory] and said, "I'll give it a try."

The girl nodded obediently, then stared at Murphy nervously.

He seemed to be more worried about not being able to pull out the sword than he was.

Holding his fingers on the hilt of the sword, Murphy adjusted his breathing and slowly closed his eyes.

Light.

The golden light that filled the sky appeared before his eyes again, but this time, the difference from the last time was that these golden lights did not bring him that kind of mental stinging and burning sensation. It was just a little uncomfortable, as if he was naked and exposed to the sun. Although it was a bit uncomfortable, it was completely within his tolerance.

seem?

Are you already capable of resisting the burning of this golden light?

Murphy opened his eyes and looked at his hands strangely. There was nothing special, except for a few calluses on his palms due to long-term exercise. He is not yet able to use magic to repair his body like the high priest, so it is normal for long-term exercise to leave a few calluses on his hands. Except for the extra calluses, Murphy found that there didn't seem to be any obvious changes on his body.

"How's it going?" The girl looked at Murphy nervously and asked.

"You can give it a try." Murphy once again put his hand on the hilt of the [Oath-Sword of Victory], ignoring the golden light that appeared in the sea of ​​spiritual consciousness. Murphy exerted force on his palm and began to try to pull it out. .

One minute, two minutes.

Murphy's forehead began to sweat. He used almost all his strength, but the [Oath-Sword of Victory] seemed to be rooted in the scabbard. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull it out! Just when Murphy was about to give up, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt the hilt of the sword in his hand move a little outward. He suddenly became energetic, took a deep breath and tried again with all his strength.

However, this time the sword hilt didn't move no matter how hard I tried.

"Phew. Still not working." Murphy put down the [Oath-Sword of Victory] and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, shook his head and said: "It seems that only you can use this."

A hint of disappointment appeared on the girl's face. She lowered her head and said listlessly: "Oh."

Suddenly, she seemed to see something.

There was a sudden surge of excitement in the girl's expression. She picked up the [Oath-Sword of Victory] and looked at it carefully, and then looked at Murphy strangely. She stretched out a little finger and gestured under the scabbard, then handed the hilt to Murphy's eyes and said happily: "Look, it has been pulled out a little!"

Murphy took a closer look and found that the hilt of the sword did seem to be pulled out a little.

But the distance to pull it out is too small.

It's not even half the size of the girl's little finger, and it barely moves.

"As long as I give you a little time, you can definitely pull it out." A small bunch of dull hair on the girl's golden sand-like hair was shaking gently. She nodded her head and said with great certainty.

Murphy put down his sword, looked at the beautiful face of the girl in front of him, and said slowly: "If you really don't want to bear this responsibility, there is actually a better way."

Ever since the girl first let him try to pull out this [Oath-Sword of Victory], Murphy had roughly known something.

In this world, the situation of human beings is not so optimistic.

Surrounded by powerful enemies, humanity, which lacks its own strength, has always been suppressed. If it weren't for the certain advantages in population, it would be extremely difficult to survive in the southern plains. In such a general background, human beings need a strong and powerful leader. The best candidate for this leader is undoubtedly the successor of the famous heroes in ancient times.

But it seemed that the girl in front of her didn't want to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

So she went back and forth twice to find herself, right?

"What can I do?" The girl asked with widened green eyes, looking at Murphy with hope.

Murphy closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised his head to meet the girl's gaze and said in a deep voice: "Marry a powerful man."

The girl was startled.

Immediately, a seductive blush appeared on her cheeks.

Like a frightened deer, she picked up the [Oath-Sword of Victory] on the table in a panic, then turned around and ran away in a panic.

"I'll come back to you tomorrow." After the girl said this, she opened the door and fled.

Ahem?

Did you say something wrong?

Murphy looked at the panicked look on the girl's face as she left, and muttered to himself in confusion.

In fact, Murphy just wanted to tell her that if she really didn't want to bear such a heavy responsibility, she could marry a powerful man, and then that man would take over the responsibilities she carried in the name of her husband. This kills two birds with one stone. Not only does it achieve great justice, but it also resolves life-long issues. What do you call this comer?

The king's man?

Murphy shook his head and smiled, then began to continue working yesterday.

It's really hard to understand a woman's mind.

*************************************************** **********************************************

At night.

It's almost half past nine.

In this era, usually after seven or eight o'clock at night, most people are already asleep.

However, Murphy still maintains the work and rest habits of his previous life, usually not going to bed until around ten o'clock in the evening.

The change in the high priest's attitude gave Murphy a bad feeling.

But what he can't guess now is, what is the identity of the high priest?

Nostalgic.

Murphy is attached to the high priest.

I am nostalgic for her breath, the smell of her body, her gentle appearance, and her shallow smile.

"I was born because of you, and I will naturally follow you."

Since arriving at this time, Murphy has possessed powers that were unimaginable in his previous life. But he is also lonely, which is a kind of estrangement, from the native people, and even from the citizens of Athens. That is a product of the gap between the times, and it is difficult for Murphy to agree with it in a real sense.

Only the high priest.

Only the high priest felt a strange affinity with Murphy when he first saw him.

That is attachment.

With her by his side, Murphy wouldn't feel like he was alone in this world.

A lonely person.

The loyalty of soldiers and generals, the addition of power and glory, none of these can cover up the strangeness and loneliness after time travel.

Like a lonely wolf wandering in the wilderness.

Deep down in my heart I still long for something and some emotion.

**.

Murphy, who satisfies his desires, is now at his fingertips, but only the high priest can bring him emotional comfort and sustenance.

That sense of peace and quiet.

It is his best haven when he is tired.

if.

If Athena really wanted to take the high priest away from him for some reason.

Murphy would definitely not hesitate to break up with him!

The Olympus pantheon was born because of the auxiliary system of "Total War", and although Athena holds the scepter of the King of Gods, she does not represent the entire Olympus pantheon!

Murphy really didn’t believe it!

With the auxiliary system of "Total War", can he still make her flip to the sky?

It is true that he wants to use the power of the Olympus God System.

but!

Without him, the Olympus God System might not be able to exist!

If it really breaks up.

Who bows to whom, the outcome is hard to say.

………………

Click.

Murphy, who was deep in thought, unknowingly exerted too much force. When he came to his senses, the quill in his hand had been broken.

"Alas." Murphy sighed softly and put the quill on the table.

If possible, Murphy still does not want to get into trouble with Athena, the goddess of wisdom. After all, he must rely on her power to grow in the future. And if we have to face those powerful indigenous gods in the future, it may be difficult without the help of Athena's thunder power, which belongs to the King of Olympus Gods. But since coming to this world, Murphy has found that his abilities in intuition and induction have become more and more prominent.

It was as if after traveling through time, there was a special power that allowed him to vaguely foresee something.

In "Goblin Alchemy", it is said that some mages with powerful soul essences can see something through the fog of history. These special mages are called prophets. They are often able to vaguely predict some things and even calculate the general historical direction.

Murphy now has some doubts that after time travel, his soul was infused with energy by some rules after crossing time and space.

Because his intuition is getting stronger and stronger now.

And the accuracy is getting higher and higher. He can detect Arturia's approach even without deliberately sensing it. This change occurred especially after the high priest performed magical baptisms for him every three days.

You must know that Artoria has the blood of some ancient elves!

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful among human beings. At least the Chief Priest of the God of War once said when he faced her that he didn't have much chance of winning.

The bloodline of ancient elves.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the inheritance of demigod blood.

After all, the total number of ancient elves that exist in this world is only thirteen, and this does not include the already-deified Moon Goddess Milune.

"Asaro." Murphy whispered a syllable.

Immediately, a trace of orange-red flames rose from his palm, lighting up the paper previously filled with complicated words.

Whether it is magic or divine magic, it is composed of 26 runic letters inherited from the First Age. These 26 runic letters were derived from the Titan language and were jointly compiled by ancient elves and human arcane mages. Almost all magic is based on different arrangements of these 26 rune letters to form spells. According to the strength of the syllables, the amount of magic output determines the amount of power to induce external elements.

Due to insufficient innate elemental affinity, which means that the speed of magic condensation is very slow, Murphy had to simplify some spells to increase efficiency when practicing magic. In this way, the limited magic power can be used to practice and become familiar with those magics as much as possible.

Murphy can now only simply split the 26 rune letters.

For example, he could break a fireball spell into several syllables and then change it to summon a small flame.

Like now.

Without a mentor, Murphy could only explore on his own based on the basic magic tutorials recorded in "Goblin Alchemy". But he didn't know that the 26 rune letters he split for convenience looked like an incredible and terrifying ability to other magicians!

Because this means that once this ability is formed.

Spellcasters who can do this will be able to create their own spells, and even create new magic at their own will!

certainly.

The premise is that the caster does not kill himself first.

Without a mentor, there would be no one to teach Murphy some of the taboos that must be paid attention to in magic.

It's like he's playing with fire now.

And he didn’t even know he was playing with fire.

If successful, he might be able to create a miracle.

But the premise of everything is that he can succeed.

--------------------------

I watched quietly as the light yellow paper turned into ashes. The quality of the paper produced in Athens was not very good, but it was still fine for writing. The task assigned to them by Murphy is to produce tougher paper as soon as possible. Even if it cannot reach the level of rice paper, at least it should look whiter and better-looking, because the library will need a lot of high-quality paper in the future.

At this time.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

It's a bell.

"Come in." Murphy was very familiar with the little girl's scent, so he recognized it immediately.

Bell was holding a plate with some elaborate late-night snacks prepared on it. But the little girl doesn't seem to be in a good mood today, and she looks depressed. The eyes are also slightly red and swollen, as if they have cried before?

"What's wrong?" Murphy raised his hand and caressed the little girl's cheek, asking softly.

I gave her a day off today to go back to see her mother, and also arranged for someone to see a doctor for her mother. Logically speaking, the little girl shouldn't be so depressed, right?

Did something happen to her mother?

But didn’t I say it was just a cold? It's not a serious illness?

"It's nothing." The little girl shook her head, but the tears in the corners of her eyes could not be hidden from Murphy's eyes.

Murphy stretched out his hand to straighten her, then looked into her eyes and said in a deep voice: "Tell me what it is and I will make the decision for you."

"Really, it's really nothing." Lingdang lowered her head and shook her head. She bit her lip and was silent for a moment. She just said softly: "Mr. Murphy, can...can you let my mother also Come and stay at the Governor’s Mansion?”

"She's not living a very good life outside..."

That's it?

I thought something had happened.

Murphy pinched Ling Ding's tender cheeks and chuckled: "Let her move in tomorrow."

"Really?!" The little girl raised her head and her face was full of surprise.

"Thank you, Mr. Murphy!" Ling Ding, who was quite excited, suddenly raised his little head and kissed Murphy on the cheek.

The kiss is over.

The little girl seemed to know that she was embarrassed.

She lowered her head nervously, holding the hem of her skirt with her fleshy little hands, her tender little face flushed with embarrassment.
