Marisbury looked at the oil painting placed in front of the summoning circle, took a deep breath, and continued the Heroic Spirit summoning. As long as this painting was not a fake as rumored, then he could surely summon that person. Even if it was really a fake, the possibility of summoning that person was still extremely high. After all, in the eyes of the world, this painting was that person's masterpiece, and a representative work at that.
As long as the people in the world of magic investigated properly, they would discover just how talented and powerful this person was in the world of magic.
"Thy self is under me, my fate is in thy sword.
In accordance with the resort of the Holy Grail, if thou abidest by this will and this reason, then answer.
I hereby swear.
I shall be all the good of the world, I shall have vanquished all the evil of the world!
Thou, seventh heaven, clad in the three great words of power,
Come forth from the ring of deterrence, O guardian of the balance!"
As the last sentence fell, the light and magical energy in the summoning circle finally reached their peak moment. The magi present vaguely saw a human figure standing in the light. After that person's figure became clearer, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Servant, Leonardo da Vinci. Caster. I have come in response to your summoning. To have chosen to summon me, I must say you truly have good taste. Just let me, the Universal Man, lead you to victory."
The one who appeared in the summoning circle was a lady with a perfect body ratio. The magi present couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After all, this Heroic Spirit truly had a self-portrait. And that self-portrait, as well as the clear records in history, showed that this person was a man. But the one who had appeared now was a beautiful lady.
The Heroic Spirit before us, is it really not just the Mona Lisa in disguise?
As if sensing the gazes from the surroundings, the Heroic Spirit who called herself Da Vinci generously opened her arms, displaying her current body. "It seems you are all very curious about my current state. Excellent, excellent. This is the expression I wanted to see. Don't you all think this body, this appearance, is perfect? What's more, in the face of a genius, there is no gender!"
Could becoming a woman affect the brain of a genius? A true universal talent can fundamentally ignore gender.
On this point, this genius was quite confident.
At the same time, at a certain ley line in the Far East, a young female magus with twin-tails and wearing red clothes took out the catalyst she had worked so hard to buy from her pocket. As for why she hadn't summoned the Heroic Spirit abroad, but had run back to do so, the reason was simple: she was poor. Although Heroic Spirits could spiritualize, there would always be moments when they had to materialize.
Most importantly, who knew if this Heroic Spirit needed anything special? For example, needing to smoke a cigar every day, or other hobbies. These all cost money! Before she had earned money, dame! Heroic Spirit summoning, dame!
It would be best if, after the Heroic Spirit was summoned, they would participate in the war in just a few days. This way, she wouldn't have to spend anything extra! Penny-pinching, penny-pinching. After she finished summoning the Heroic Spirit, she still had to rush to the supermarket. Otherwise, she would miss the half-price goods. She had heard that there were special-price eggs on this day.
As long as she could buy a portion of special-price eggs, then in turn, she would have earned quite a lot!! Rounding up, it was as if she had worked another part-time job. As long as she snatched more special-price eggs, it was equivalent to her having worked several part-time jobs. That's right, there was no problem with this logic. Perfect!
If this Heroic Spirit could also help her grab some special-price eggs, counting as one head, and get an extra discount, that would be for the best. But that emperor... would he help her grab eggs?
In any case, let's just do the summoning first. As a large amount of magical energy was injected into the summoning circle she had drawn on the ground, she then placed the catalyst on the table in front of the circle. Because she was in a hurry to buy special-price eggs, this young lady had even ignored what special thoughts her summoned Heroic Spirit might have after seeing this catalyst.
In any case, the Heroic Spirit was summoned smoothly. In fact, he was a little different from her impression. The one before her, wearing a military uniform, and with such a tall figure... who was he?!
"Yo~ Are you so shocked by my current form, Master? After all, I am a man who represents possibility. And now, I have been summoned with a special emphasis on this point. Even if I'm a few heads taller than what's recorded in history, there's nothing to be surprised about, right? As long as you know that I am still me, that's enough, right?"
The summoned male Heroic Spirit winked at the young lady, a hearty smile on his face. He didn't seem to mind that his summoner was curious about why his height was much taller than recorded in history. Of course, he was also not angry at the rather strange thought that had flashed through his Master's mind.
That is, because he was too short in his life, so after becoming a Heroic Spirit, he had added a few centimeters to himself. That wasn't impossible.
It was a fact that he was short. It was normal to have such thoughts.
If this point could make the beautiful lady before him show a bit of a smile, then it would be worth it for him. He was just this kind of man. He couldn't do anything to let down a beautiful lady, right? It was always much better for a beautiful lady to show a smile than a crying expression.
"Speaking of which, my beautiful Master, may I ask why you summoned me?"
The young lady in the red windbreaker turned her head slightly. "It's just because Your Excellency's catalyst was easy to get."
"My catalyst?"
This Heroic Spirit raised an eyebrow, a bit curious. Just what kind of catalyst was not difficult to obtain? This Heroic Spirit looked with great curiosity at the box placed behind the summoning circle, and then his eyes were directly captivated.
He shouldn't be mistaken, right? How did this thing look so familiar? It was... a certain unmentionable part of his own body, right? Why would this thing be separated from his own corpse? If his memory was correct, when he died, this thing should still have been on his body. So was it done by the coroner?
Although that was already a meaningless shell, and by now, it had probably turned into a handful of yellow earth if no special treatment had been done. But to see this thing of his here, he still felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Suddenly, he felt a pain in a certain part of his body.
"I say... Master. Although I am not a Heroic Spirit who wallows in the past, are you sure you didn't do that on purpose?"
