I carefully checked the system panel and calculated the gains this time.

I got a total of 28 Saint Quartz, plus the previous ones, a total of 35. I spent 20 Saint Quartz to get three magic books, a magic meter, a Towards a Sunless Place, two meditations, five black keys, a Four-branched Asase, as well as four bronze cards and three silver cards.

Two of the meditations plus the one obtained before upgraded the three-star meditation to four-star. The other three magic books also upgraded the three-star magic books to four-star, allowing Zhang Luo to use the Sanctuary of St. George.

This is the previous harvest. With the remaining 5 Saint Quartz, I should be able to collect ten before the subsequent impact of this incident ends, and then do another ten-pull series.

Although the appearance of the heroic spirit in Area 11 has ended, the subsequent impact it caused lasted for more than half a month.

During this more than half month, a large number of foreigners came to Japan. Among them were Christians who came for St. George, and there were also spectators who wanted to see the Heroic Spirits and District 11 destroyed by the Dragon King's Sigh with their own eyes. However, these spectators did not get their wish because, except for St. George, all the Heroic Spirits were taken into Valhalla by Zhang Luo, and the destroyed District 11 was under repair and no outsiders were allowed to enter.

Furthermore, government officials from various countries also flocked to Tokyo. Some were diplomats, seeking to commune with their nation's soon-to-emerge Heroic Spirits; others were mythologists and historians seeking to verify their identities; and still others were scientists, biologists, and other scholars. Their arrival was for the other world, the Digital World. While the greater good meant that governments could not easily intervene with the children about to enter the Digital World, they were determined to seize the resources presented by the emergence of this new world. While Japan expressed some dissatisfaction, it did not dare to seek exclusive control in the face of the demands of the major powers.

For most of the past half month, Zhang Luo hardly went out. Apart from exchanging feelings with Urahara Kisuke and Shihouin Yoruichi who came to visit him, as well as his experience in techniques, chatting with government officials from various countries, and talking to Arisawa Ryuki on the phone to exchange feelings, he did nothing else. He meditated and exercised in the hotel all day long, and practiced gunmanship and swordsmanship on the rooftop to ensure that his mortal body could support the power of the heroic spirit.

The craze caused by the appearance of Heroic Spirit in the world enabled Zhang Luo to achieve the sixth achievement in the Heroic Spirit series and obtain six Saint Quartz. The 10 million US dollars thank-you fee from the Japanese official also allowed Zhang Luo to achieve new achievements: his first pot of gold, his first job, a millionaire, and a multi-millionaire, and he obtained one, one, one, and two respectively, for a total of five Saint Quartz.

In other words, in just half a month, Zhang Luo had harvested the first seventy Ghost Daos and Bound Daos, as well as eleven Holy Crystals.

A month passed quickly, and the influence of the heroic spirits almost disappeared. With the full efforts of the Japanese government and the support of other countries, District 11 has been restored to its original state, and a St. George's Cathedral has been added. Zhang Luo has also successfully improved his combat power to C. Although it is not very strong, he is still considered a master in the world. He is slightly stronger than family heads such as Tsuchimiya Masagaku and Isayama Naraku, but weaker than Deba Shizuka.

Chapter 84: The Beginning of Digitalization and the Official Summoning of Heroic Spirits

That morning, after Zhang Luo finished his breakfast, he called Youze Longgui, chatted for a while, urged him on his progress in cultivation, and then hung up the phone.

After putting away his phone, Zhang Luo stood up from the chair. He was about to go back to his room to lie down for a while, and then go to the rooftop to practice martial arts, but suddenly he saw the scenery outside through the glass door. It was snow, and snowflakes flying all over the sky appeared in his sight. In just a few breaths, the white snow covered the entire city.

The air suddenly became cold, and the sudden biting cold wind startled the guests in the hotel who had not noticed the falling snow for a while.

"What's going on? Is it snowing?"

"It's still summer!"

"Is it artificial snow? That doesn't make sense."

"This damn weather changes so suddenly. It's snowing in the middle of summer."

People in the hotel restaurant also noticed the snow scene outside and talked about it. Many people walked out of the hotel, stood in the snow, and marveled at the amazing sight of snow in June.

This familiar scene flashed through Zhang Luo's mind like lightning, waking him up suddenly.

Snow in summer, isn’t this the day when the Digimon story begins?

Zhang Luo quickly left the hotel and headed towards the summer camp.

At this time, on the mountain where the summer camp was located, seven selected children hid in a wooden house, complaining about the heavy snow outside.

Scientists and military personnel from various countries who had already built temporary bases on this mountain also noticed the snowflakes and realized that the time had come. They quickly sent a soldier to where the seven children were to inform them of the situation and deliver some supplies, while the others set off soon after.

When Zhang Luo arrived, he saw that the army had surrounded the mountain. A large number of soldiers and a group of scientific researchers of different skin colors were busy debugging various high-tech products. There were also several female officers communicating with a teacher with a group of elementary school students.

"Stop, this is a military area, no entry for outsiders."

Seeing Zhang Luo coming, the soldiers guarding the intersection stopped Zhang Luo and said loudly.

Zhang Luo did not intend to force his way in and cause a conflict with the army, so he instructed the soldiers, "Call your commander and tell him that a magician named Qin is visiting."

"Zhuge Kongming?!" After hearing what Zhang Luo said, the soldiers suddenly realized that the young man wearing sunglasses in front of them had the same body shape and voice as the man who appeared in District 11 half a month ago.

"please wait."

Suddenly, the soldiers stood in awe, used honorifics to address Zhang Luo, and immediately took out their communicators.

Soon, an official who looked somewhat familiar ran down the mountain, accompanied by Westerners and Chinese people.

A master-level expert? There are such people in the Japanese government. Could they be dark people?

Sensing the energy in the visitor's body, Zhang Luo's face looked a little strange, and he guessed in his heart.

"Hello, Mr. Qin. My name is Ishida. I'm the Japanese staff member handling this New World incident. The others are Special Envoy Wang from China, Special Envoy Smith from England, Special Envoy Peter from the United States, Special Envoy Abrasha from Russia, and Special Envoy Ili from France."

The Japanese official was the first to extend his hand to shake hands with Zhang Luo, and then introduced the five people next to him to Zhang Luo one by one.

"Hello, my last name is Qin, and I'm an ordinary magician."

After Zhang Luo shook hands with Ishida, Zhang Luo shook hands with the other five people in turn and introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Wang Lang. You can just call me Lao Wang, the Wang from Lao Wang next door. I heard that you were from Hunan. We are from the same hometown." Special Envoy Wang from China looked to be about 30 years old. He had a friendly attitude and was joking, trying to build a closer relationship. After all, although Zhang Luo was wearing sunglasses, his true identity was not a secret among the top leaders of various countries. Special Envoy Wang naturally knew that Zhang Luo was actually a Chinese.

"Hello fellow countryman, I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman less than three months after arriving in Japan. I thought I would have to wait until I return home for a while."

Although they were not in the same world, Zhang Luo would not waste his time on showing kindness to his fellow tribesmen. He smiled and nodded to Wang Lang.

After some pleasantries, everyone immediately got down to business.

"I probably already know the situation. What's the situation now? Have those children entered another digital world?" Zhang Luo asked.

"Mr. Qin, you've arrived just in time. Those children were just teleported into the digital world half a minute ago. We're adjusting the surveillance equipment right now," Wang Lang said. "Why don't you come and take a look? The surveillance equipment should be ready by now."

"Ok."

Zhang Luo nodded, not surprised by the surveillance the other party mentioned. After all, although they couldn't enter, they couldn't miss the opportunity to understand the digital world.

The group arrived at a temporary base on the mountain - a very large tent next to a small house. On the other side was a group of scientists who were testing equipment and conducting research. This should be where the selected children stood before being teleported into the digital world.

As soon as he entered the tent, he saw a group of staff busy around the surveillance equipment. Ishida stopped a staff member and asked, "How's the surveillance going?"

The staff member said, "Sorry, Commander Ishida, there is severe magnetic interference on the other side of the monitoring. We are unable to connect with the monitor."

Special Agent Peter frowned and asked dissatisfiedly, "Interference? Can a little magnetic field interference stump you?"

Zhang Luo interjected, "It shouldn't be ordinary interference. You have to know that the digital world over there is made up of data, so the level of electronics is naturally higher than that of the real world."

Everyone suddenly understood. They also understood this principle, but they just hadn't thought about it for a while. After Zhang Luo's enlightenment, they remembered it and became worried. How could a world composed of electronic data be deciphered by the current level of technology?

At this time, a scientist who was studying the channel between the real world and the digital world came in and told them that although they had detected the existence of a suspected space-time tunnel, it was composed entirely of data and the human body could not pass through it. If it were not for scientific research equipment, it would not even be visible.

The bad news dealt a heavy blow to everyone's enthusiasm, but no one chose to give up. No matter which country it was, no one would give up the values ​​​​contained in the world.

Ishida, who was in distress, suddenly noticed Zhang Luo's calm face. His eyes lit up and he said, "Since technological means are ineffective, then the only thing left is the ability of the mysterious side."

The eyes of the others also lit up. Speaking of the mysterious side, isn’t the person next to him one of the best people with mysterious side abilities in the world?

"I don't have enough magic power to do things of this level. Even if I borrow the power of the heroic spirits, I can't open a passage to the digital world because I am not proficient in space magic." Zhang Luo directly poured a bucket of cold water on them.

But before everyone could worry for a few minutes, Zhang Luo continued: "However, I have a holy relic here that may be able to summon a caster."

Wang Lang realized the key point and asked quickly, "Sacred relic? What is that?"

Others also stared at Zhang Luo, wanting to get an answer. From Zhang Luo's words, things like holy relics might have a lot to do with summoning heroic spirits, and perhaps they could get a way to summon heroic spirits from them.

"A Relic is a medium for summoning a specific Heroic Spirit. Simply put, it's an item that holds significant meaning in the life of a Heroic Spirit, an item associated with them in legend, or something the Heroic Spirit carried during their lifetime. These can be used to summon the desired Heroic Spirit. Of course, even with a catalyst, you don't necessarily win the desired Heroic Spirit. For example, imagine using the wreckage of the Argonaut, which once carried Greek heroes, as a catalyst for summoning. Would the unparalleled hero Hercules be summoned? Captain Jason? Medea, the witch of betrayal? Or Asclepius, hailed as the god of medicine? Nothing is determined before the summoning. It's possible to limit it, but that would require using a catalyst associated with only one Heroic Spirit in the world."

Zhang Luo explained to everyone.

"In other words, as long as you have the corresponding holy relics, you can summon the corresponding heroic spirits, or even gods." Smith asked.

Zhang Luo said, "There are a few more prerequisites. The magic power must be strong enough to support the existence and combat of the Heroic Spirit. One must be proficient in the art of summoning spirits and summoning, be able to set up magic circles to summon Heroic Spirits, and possess Command Spells to restrain and strengthen Heroic Spirits. But these are the prerequisites. Otherwise, even if one has a Holy Relic, it will be useless."

Although they had a better understanding of the Heroic Spirits, no one was happy because even though there were only these three prerequisites, they were enough to eliminate 99.9% of the people in the world, and ordinary people like them would never have this opportunity.

Zhang Luo seemed to recall something and added, "However, let me explain first, there will be a lot of noise and it may attract a lot of uninvited guests."

Ishida asked, "Uninvited guest? What do you mean?"

Zhang Luo said, "Everyone knows about magic. Ordinary magic is nothing special. But if you use some large-scale magic, the scene will be huge, and the magical fluctuations will be very strong, which will attract many people with special abilities and ordinary people."

The officials of the six dominant countries looked at each other, exchanged glances, and quickly made a decision. The most important thing now is the development and exploration of the new world. As for other things, the super power incident has been made public once, and it will not be concealed in the future. It doesn't matter even if the public finds out. As for other people with special abilities, with Zhang Luo here, except for the great Onmyoji last time, who else can do anything that shouldn't be done under the power of the army and Zhang Luo.

So everyone took action immediately.

In the open space outside the tent, nearly a hundred people formed a circle. Except for the soldiers who were guarding their posts outside, almost everyone was here. They all stared at the center of the open space with curiosity and anticipation, where Zhang Luo was drawing the summoning circle.

After using the magical blood to draw the summoning circle, Zhang Luo threw away the brush in his hand, healed the wound on his hand, stood to the side of the summoning circle, and his face became serious.

"Is it about to begin?" Looking at this scene, Ishida and others naturally understood that the summoning circle had been drawn and it was time to start summoning. So they focused their attention more closely, staring at Zhang Luo's movements, not wanting to miss any of them. They also found a camera to film the whole process and prepared to make several copies to hand in.

After placing the projected holy relic in the summoning circle, Zhang Luo took a deep breath. Although he had summoned it twice, he still couldn't be careless.

"—fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it, fill it. Repeat it over and over again, the next is five, but when it is full, it is the time to abandon it—"

As Zhang Luo's voice rang out, magic power poured into the summoning circle from his outstretched right hand. The magic circle drawn with blood was activated, magic power surged, and turbulent airflow burst out with the magic circle as the center.

"Whoosh..."

A breeze completely different from the bleak cold wind blew by, and in an instant it developed from the initial breeze into a fierce whirlwind, sweeping up snowflakes flying all over the sky, whistling wantonly in this winter scene. The people around retreated a few steps due to the biting snow wind, but in order not to miss this summoning scene, they stopped before they had retreated far.

Chapter 85 Entering the Digital World

He looked down at his right hand and saw nine blood-red command symbols engraved on it.

I guess in two years, my entire body will be covered with Command Seals.

Zhang Luo guessed so.

Seeing that the summoning was over, everyone's eyes turned to the summoning circle. In the spreading magic hurricane, a purple-haired girl holding a magic wand walked out.

"Caster follows the call. I ask you, are you my -master?"

"I'm Zhang Luo, your master. Please give me your guidance in the future."

Zhang Luo replied.

"I am Servant Caster Medea. Please take care of me!" The purple-haired girl smiled sweetly and said.

"Medea?! The treacherous witch!?"

When Smith heard Zhang Luo's spell, he had some suspicions. The one illuminated by Helios's glory must be someone with a close relationship with Helios, the sun god. The most likely person would be Phaethon, the sun god's child. However, if the phrase "controller of the dragon's chariot" was added, it would be more likely to be a descendant of Helios, the traitorous witch Medea, to whom Helios gifted a dragon chariot.

And now, Smith was finally completely sure that his guess was true, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The others were also shocked. They had just mentioned this treacherous witch, but they didn't expect her to be summoned so soon. What bad luck! Although they sympathized with her situation, she was too extreme. If she was unlucky, she might be killed for some reason.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Medea, noticed by Smith's scream, turned her head to look at Smith with a somewhat annoyed look on her face. She had just been summoned and was insulted for no reason, and all her good mood was lost.

"Feel sorry."

When Smith saw Medea looking at him with dissatisfaction, his heart suddenly tightened and he subconsciously took a step back. While apologizing, he looked at Zhang Luo for help.

The other people stood where they were as if they had heard nothing. Since it involved heroic spirits, they didn't want to act recklessly. Otherwise, even if they were killed, the country would not avenge them for such a small matter. Besides, it was Smith who spoke rudely first this time.

At this time, Zhang Luo interrupted and said, "That's your future."

Medea asked, puzzled, "What?"

Zhang Luo said, "You should be in your teenage years now. With my magic power, the probability of summoning you in your prime is not high."

Medea nodded and admitted, "Yes, my memory stopped at the moment when I was learning magic from Teacher Hecate. Although I am not good at fighting and am not mature as a caster, I will do my best to help you."

"That is to say, a Heroic Spirit will be summoned at different ages, and Heroic Spirits at that age will not have any memories of later times. And Medea, at the moment, has not yet met Jason."

Wang Lang guessed that this was the reason why he felt that Medea's temperament was not like that of a traitorous witch at all, but rather like that of a beautiful princess when he first saw her.

Ishida, Peter and others also suddenly realized and expressed surprise at this matter. They did not expect it to be like this.

"Who is Jason? From what you said, I will become a treacherous witch after meeting Jason." Medea quickly got this information from Wang Lang and Smith.

"Yes, when you grew up, you were deceived and abandoned by Jason. Later, in revenge, you killed the wife Jason married after he abandoned you, as well as the child he had with him." Zhang Luo said concisely and clearly.

"That sounds horrible," Medea said with a sigh, but her expression softened.

"Don't you have any feelings?"

Seeing Medea like this, the puzzled Eli asked tentatively.

Medea shook her head and said calmly, "Although I know all this, I don't feel anything. After all, I haven't experienced that. As a heroic spirit, I won't experience that either."

"Is that so? It's not just memories, but also emotions?" Wang Lang nodded thoughtfully.

The others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Compared to the brutal witch of betrayal, Princess Medea in her youth was easier to deal with.

"Master, I finally found you. Hello, I'm Astolfo."

At this time, Astolfo appeared from nowhere and greeted Zhang Luo and others.
