In this region of twisted space structure, all creatures will suffer from freezing damage and strong acid damage from otherworldly soft tentacles.

The essence of this type of magic is to directly open a passage to a high-risk area, then use the dangerous creatures in that passage to attack the enemy.

Only a very small part is magic that truly requires the practitioner to directly handle everything themselves.

For example, the fourth-circle magic , the effect is that it directly allows a mage to create a Phantom Guardian Dog that follows your command.

This has little to do with summoning and is a concentrated display of advanced magical skills.

Therefore, a series of spells under the Conjuration category with names like have at their core a pact with former companions.

The premise of the oath is typically the bond between both parties, mutually achieving an agreement to fight side by side.

This is a version of "The Three Brothers Oath" for the Star Continent, a racial variant of "Shared Fate with the Nation", and there might even be an oath with a more extreme effect similar to a "Ghost Marriage", an oath to continue on even in death.

"So do you understand now? The vast majority of summoned creatures come from some part of the Star Continent, or from creatures of the outer layer, inner layer, or astral plane."

"In the world those summoned creatures reside, there's never a lack of news related to the Star Continent."

"The summoned beings are either 'ancestors' who survived for tens of thousands of years with pacts still intact, or 'descendants' who admire the ancestors' glory and are willing to continue the covenant."

"Among them lies a core 'secret' that every summoning spell absolutely must adhere to: it is the knowledge and consent."

"If you were truly summoned, then you should have already been aware of and agreed to this matter before being summoned."

"Furthermore, the stories of the Star Continent should have been spread in your world, and either your ancestors or simply you yourself had formed a contract with the spell caster."

"And your situation... is very strange. If it were illegal summoning, the Great Sin of Greed should have attacked you immediately to protect its host."

"But your arrival not only avoided any attack, on the contrary..."

Olivia paused here:

"On the contrary, it occupied every aspect of his body and transformed them into your own, as if he willingly relinquished it."

"You said when you crossed into this world, you were already in prison?"

Louis looked at the small swan frowning and nodded slowly.

Olivia sighed:

"If summoning arts truly exist, then the likely summoner is the Confusing Nation itself, as for why you would respond, I don't know."

"Of course, all of this is just my guess based on current magical knowledge, whether it's correct or not is uncertain."

Louis nodded.

He did not dwell further on the matter.

After all, the original soul has disappeared now, whether it was the diary from the very beginning or the reborn small swan, no one knows what the Confusing Nation was truly thinking at that time.

After the two parted, Louis went to Beatrice's office.

After some affection, while gently sniffing the fragrance of his first wife's white neck, Louis said softly:

"Beatrice, I need to borrow your assistant."

Beatrice looked at him curiously:

"You're looking for Qian for something?"

"I need to verify a hypothesis." Louis said seriously.

"Then don't bully my assistant." Beatrice grinned mischievously.

Louis sighed helplessly:

"Bully her? It's already fortunate on my part if she doesn't bully me."

To be fair, in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, when Miss Qian couldn't find her friend and raged, her terrifying destructive power was indeed like a tidal wave.

...

After leaving the office.

Qian looked at Louis:

"Your Highness Louis, is there something you wanted to call me out for at this time?"

Louis looked at her and said:

"I want to verify something regarding the ghost case lingering on Central Avenue."

"You and Beatrice should already know about it, so I want to verify a hypothesis."

The Emperor no longer leaves the bedchamber.

The related tasks must be communicated through outsiders.

For the Ense Empire, every task from the Emperor is worth utmost attention.

Beatrice and the others being unaware is impossible.

Just a moment ago, he had asked Beatrice about it.

Beatrice's answer was "Father said there is no danger, but indeed only you can handle this matter."

Poor President Hans.

He came to the royal family to inquire about the specifics and is likely to suffer quite a bit.

However, such confidential information, for Louis, simply asking Beatrice would result in specific answers.

What on earth is that wildcat Alice thinking?

President Hans being unaware is very normal.

After all, President Hans only knows Caesar, and the duo of noble young lady and maid X (Olivia/Lumi: ???).

At most, he is aware that Caesar, Alice, and that noble maid have close ties to the royal family.

Who could have thought that among them was actually mixed an Imperial Prince and a Second Princess?

But Hans doesn't know, Alice cannot possibly be unaware.

"Find time to understand the criteria for Higher Adventurer Evaluation, Alice is not the type to merely toy with people out of boredom... at least President Hans has the wrong gender"

He came to his senses and looked at Qian, saying:

"Miss Qian, I want to ask you something now, did you enter the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm voluntarily, or were you directly summoned to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm?"

Qian was stunned for a moment, then after a while, she said with an unwell expression:

"I suppose it counts as summoning? You should have seen it, my filthy appearance..."

She referred to the bizarre red markings that appeared on her face.

She showed a self-deprecating expression.

Louis shook his head and said:

"Do you mean the War Ghost markings?"

Miss Qian did not speak.

Louis smiled and said:

"Firstly, I don't consider that appearance to be ugly at all."

"Secondly, that is proof of Master Rogen's existence."

"Miss Qian, tonight we might go to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm again, are you interested in unveiling this mystery?"
