Shikigami contract.
As the name suggests, it means making a contract with the shikigami.
Like masters and followers, through contracts, onmyojis can establish spiritual connections with their shikigami and establish a master-slave relationship.
Luo Zhen and Natsume are both shikigami, and among the shikigami, the usage style and the guardian style are a great test of the ability of the magician. Naturally, they are not too unfamiliar with the shikigami contract. Even when generating simple styles, Onmyoji They will have a brief spiritual connection with the simple form and conclude a contractual relationship.
Therefore, for Onmyoji, the shikigami contract is definitely one of the most common things.
And even if the target is a human being, a contract can still be concluded.
Although the methods are different, taking the Tsuchimikado family as an example, when a member of the divided family becomes a shikigami of the main family, they will go through a ceremony to establish a master-slave relationship.
After the contract is concluded, as a shikigami with a physical body, the separated person will naturally not be able to dematerialize himself like those spiritual shikigami, but the other functions will remain.
For example, each other can feel each other's presence.
For example, spiritual power and spells can be transferred to each other.
For another example, it is possible to intervene in the senses of a shikigami and share the five senses with it, but it is relatively difficult to compare with the spiritual existence of shikigami.
Of course, a magician can also control his own shikigami, but it is different from spiritual existence. It is also very difficult and depends entirely on the ability of the magician.
Just like Tsuchimikado Yasumi and Tsuchimikado Takahiro, the latter is the former's shikigami, but Tsuchimikado Yasumi cannot control Tsuchimikado Takahiro.
It's not that Tsuchimikado Yasumi isn't strong enough, but Tsuchimikado Takakan is also very powerful. If the strength gap between the two sides is relatively small, it will naturally be extremely difficult to achieve.
However, even so, once Tsuchimikado Yasumi wants to call Tsuchimikado Takahiro, although he cannot be summoned to his side immediately, he can still make the other party come over through the transmission of inspiration.
To sum up, for Onmyoji and Shikigami, contracts are very necessary.
Tsuchimikado Yasumi, Tsuchimikado Takahiro, and Tsuchimikado Chizuru exited on such an important occasion, leaving only Luo Zhen and Natsume in the entire Kikyo room.
“………”
“………”
The two people sitting opposite each other didn't even look at each other, and fell into silence for a while.
The difference was that Luo Zhen was scratching his face, looking a little embarrassed, while Natsume was blushing and lowered his head from beginning to end, not daring to look at Luo Zhen at all.
The awkward men and women just kept silent to each other, making the atmosphere more and more ambiguous.
Looking at Natsume's restless look, Luo Zhen cursed in his heart.
(It’s just a contract, why are you so nervous?)
As a Master, it's not like Luo Zhen has never made contracts with others.
In Chaldea, Mashu is Luo Zhen's official contracted servant, and the contract between the two still exists to this day.
In the singularity between Fuyuki City and France, Luo Zhen also concluded temporary contracts with many servants one after another.
What's more, there are many familiars in Luo Zhen's "Seat of Souls" who have made absolute contracts with him and will always be loyal to him.
For Luo Zhen, a contract is obviously the most common thing, so why does he feel nervous and embarrassed now
(So unmanly.)
Luo Zhen gave himself such an evaluation, and then finally broke the silence.
"Ahem"
Luo Zhen coughed a few times, causing Natsume's whole body to tremble slightly, and her delicate body tensed up, looking extremely nervous.
I have to say that this kind of Natsume not only does not make people feel uncomfortable, but is actually somewhat pleasing to the eye.
After many years, Natsume has now grown into a slim girl.
The childish and pretty face at the beginning has become extremely delicate, and the shy and timid personality has also become quiet and elegant, making Natsume's long purple-blue hair fall down her back, showing an awe-inspiring temperament.
However, Luo Zhen knew that Natsume's personality was still as shy as before and was not good at communicating with others. However, he was still very serious and regarded the prosperity of the family as his mission. He worked hard to be himself, which to put it nicely is called Determined, to put it mildly, stubborn.
Facing Natsume like this, although Luo Zhen knew how the other party would answer his next question, he still asked it.
"Let me confirm it with you one last time, Natsume."
Luo Zhen looked directly at Natsume and said this.
"Have you really decided?"
This is the last question.
This question made the blush on Natsume's face dissipate a lot. Even though she still felt a little shy, she did not choose to remain silent.
"I...I have already decided." Natsume summoned up the courage and said: "Although I am just an adopted daughter and do not have the blood of the Tsuchimikado family, since my parents have nurtured me, my brother has If you don’t have the ability to see ghosts and cannot fulfill your family obligations, then I will perform them on your behalf. This is something I decided a long time ago.”
Natsume had already made this decision before she and Luo Zhen became good friends.
Now, Natsume naturally can't change anything.
"Besides... besides..." Natsume lowered his head again and said in a mosquito voice: "If it's Qiuguan... I... I think it's okay..."
This sentence was so subtle that I almost couldn't hear it.
Luo Zhen was lucky enough to hear it, but he didn't know how to react. He could only continue to scratch his face in embarrassment.
At that moment, Luo Zhen could only cough again, and then pretended to be serious.
"So, now that you've decided, let me start?"
Hearing Luo Zhen's words, Natsume hesitated, but finally nodded, looking extremely shy.
Luo Zhen really wanted to tell Natsume to stop doing this, otherwise he might be tempted.
It would be a long night with many dreams, so Luo Zhen immediately reached out and took Natsume's hand.
For a moment, Natsume's hand trembled violently.
Luo Zhen held her tightly and closed his eyes.
Basically, you don't need to do anything special to make a shikigami contract. You only need to chant the incantation and establish a spiritual connection with the shikigami, and it will be completed.
However, the strength of the contract will vary depending on the approach.
Take Luo Zhen as an example. The contract she signed with Mashu is a contract between the master and the servant. Apart from using command spells, there is no other way to forcibly control her. On the other hand, an absolute contract that goes deep into the soul is absolutely impossible. The most powerful contract of betrayal and inability to die.
By the same token, in Yin Yang Dao, the intensity of the contract is different depending on the contract method.
Now, Luo Zhen is ready to use the most powerful contract among the spells he knows.
"In the name of Abe Seimei, the ancestor of Tsuchimikado, you, Tsuchimikado Natsume, will become my shikigami here."
While chanting the mantra, Luo Zhen increased the power of the mantra, stretched out his hand, and drew a pattern on the back of Natsume's hand.
It was a pattern formed by three interlocking rings.
