The next morning, Dan Feng simply enjoyed the most basic breakfast in the dining hall — a sandwich.
After breakfast, he followed Shivalier through the castle corridors and arrived at a spacious room.
This room had a long table that could accommodate many people, but at the moment, there were only Dan Feng and Shivalier.
Dan Feng looked around. A trace of doubt welled up in his heart: Why had Perugius not appeared yet?
Just as Dan Feng was feeling puzzled, Shivalier finally broke the silence and said: "Lord Dan Feng, Sir instructed me to first teach you some basic knowledge, so he will not be coming for the time being."
Dan Feng's brows slightly furrowed. He asked doubtfully: "Teach me basic knowledge? What knowledge?"
Before coming here, he had not been informed that he would receive any teaching. This left him somewhat at a loss.
Shivalier replied: "It is summoning magic."
Dan Feng's eyes immediately lit up. He had heard a little about summoning magic, especially Perugius's god-class summoning magic, which was renowned far and wide.
However, he still asked in confusion: "Perugius's god-class summoning magic?"
Shivalier nodded and explained: "Sir's summoning magic is indeed god-class, but if Lord Dan Feng wishes to learn it, it may take some time. After all, summoning magic requires a specific magic circle to be used in conjunction."
After speaking, Shivalier began to explain in detail the relevant knowledge of summoning magic. Dan Feng listened with full attention, occasionally raising questions and offering his own insights.
"Summoning magic is divided into two types. One is called [Magic Beast Summoning], and the other is called [Spirit Summoning]." Shivalier explained in a calm voice.
Dan Feng listened with rapt attention, afraid of missing even a single detail.
"In other words, [Magic Beast Summoning] is for summoning magic beasts, and [Spirit Summoning] is for summoning spirits like Radiant Armanfi, correct?" Dan Feng asked thoughtfully.
Shivalier smiled slightly and nodded, indicating that Dan Feng's understanding was correct.
"However, [Magic Beast Summoning] is used to summon creatures that currently exist somewhere. But due to the Ancient Covenant, [Magic Beast Summoning] cannot summon creatures that contain the character 'human.' Aside from that, any creature in this world can be summoned." Shivalier continued explaining.
"Ancient Covenant?" Dan Feng developed a strong interest in this new concept.
"Yes. The Ancient Covenant was established before summoning magic was born. The content of magic cannot violate this covenant." Shivalier's tone became serious, as if emphasizing the importance of this covenant.
Dan Feng fell into thought. He began to understand the meaning of this Ancient Covenant.
It was like the underlying code of magic — an insurmountable rule. No matter how powerful a magician was, they could not break this bottom line.
"However, [Magic Beast Summoning] has some limitations. It cannot summon creatures more powerful than the caster's own magic power. Even if successfully summoned, there is a high possibility of losing control."
Dan Feng quietly listened to Shivalier's explanation, silently committing every word she said to memory.
After all, this knowledge might come in useful in the future.
"Next, let us talk about [Spirit Summoning]. Simply put, this is a magic that can create spirits." Shivalier continued.
"This magic consumes the summoner's magic power to create spirits with specific abilities. For example, Radiant Armanfi is a Light Spirit. His ability is light speed."
"Spirits possess their own intelligence. Although it is relatively low, they will obey the summoner's commands until the summoner's magic power is exhausted."
Hearing this, Dan Feng couldn't help but think of the Lamp Spirit that Galdaruf possessed. He felt there were some similarities between the two.
"That's right. That does indeed belong to one type of Spirit Summoning." Shivalier affirmed.
"But why do the other eleven familiars possess such high intelligence?" Dan Feng asked doubtfully.
"That is because Perugius-sama's ancestor, the [First Generation Armored Dragon King]-sama, left behind a method to create the Ancient Eleven Spirits, which possess high intelligence and powerful strength."
Shivalier then continued: "These Ancient Eleven Spirits are extremely powerful. They can only maintain their existence for about a day. However, Perugius-sama, relying on his wisdom and talent, successfully developed a technique that allows these spirits to last for several hundred years."
At this point, Shivalier's originally calm expression suddenly became proud. Her eyes sparkled with admiration for Perugius-sama.
Clearly, whenever Perugius-sama's greatness was mentioned, she would involuntarily show this kind of expression.
Time flowed by rapidly like water during Shivalier's explanation. Dan Feng began to develop a strong interest in summoning magic, especially the method of creating such powerful Ancient Eleven Spirits.
In addition, the teleportation magic circle, separate from summoning magic, also caught his attention. He was curious to know how this technique operated.
Seeing that Dan Feng was interested in the teleportation magic circle, Shivalier suggested: "The floating fortress has a teleportation magic circle. Would you like me to take you to see it?"
Upon hearing that there was a teleportation magic circle, Dan Feng's interest was immediately piqued. He nodded and said, "Thank you for the trouble."
Afterward, Shivalier led Dan Feng in the direction they had come from when entering the castle. It seemed that being transported up from the ruins was accomplished using the teleportation magic circle.
After they once again passed through the sea of flowers, they saw that dim teleportation magic circle.
The moment Dan Feng saw this teleportation magic circle, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
"This is the teleportation magic circle personally created by Perugius-sama. As long as someone stands on it and Perugius-sama inputs magic power, the person standing on the magic circle on the other side will be transported here."
As she spoke, Shivalier stood on it to demonstrate. She also had permission to use this teleportation magic circle.
The moment Shivalier stood on the teleportation magic circle, the magic circle instantly lit up with white light. Then Shivalier's figure instantly disappeared from this space.
This meant she had been transported away by the teleportation magic circle.
Just as Shivalier was transported away, Dan Feng finally remembered where he had seen this magic circle before. It was when he was an adventurer in Millishion.
That time, he had gone to the basement of the client's house, destroyed a magic circle similar to this one, and incidentally cremated a skeleton.
Thinking of this, Dan Feng began to carefully examine the teleportation magic circle in front of him.
As long as he learned it, traveling in the future would become much more convenient.
