Chapter 195 194 So This Is a Treasure?

Chapter 195 194. So this is a treasure?

Just as Lu Yu guessed, Celer's defeat in Blue Water City caused an uproar in Celer. The Celer people, who were excited when they attacked the city and plundered the land, suddenly entered a worried mode.

Not only that, the people also began to criticize Bidilis's decision. After all, many news proved that the army heading to Blue Water was commanded by Bidilis.

Bidilis, who was eager to establish his authority, was questioned more, which made him difficult to get off the tiger.

If he found a reason to cease fire, maintain the current occupied territory, and choose to stop while he was ahead, with the disastrous defeat of Blue Water in front, the nobles in the country would only despise him more, and the people at the bottom would probably think he was an incompetent monarch and miss the deceased emperor more.

But if the war continues, once the front-line situation changes in the future and another disastrous defeat comes, the pressure he will face will be even greater.

Therefore, Bidilis needed a big victory, and then before the spring plowing officially began, consolidate the territory he had conquered, and divide these territories among the nobles who were still making trouble to appease them.

This is also where Orkus's troubles came from. Bidilis's orders were unreasonable. He not only lacked the most basic knowledge of flesh and blood summons, but also knew nothing about summoning itself, and often issued absurd orders.

Including but not limited to "Any magician can become a summoner", "There are finally a few summons that can be used", "Overpayment, sounds good."

As a summoner, Lu Yu's blood pressure rose when he heard it.

It feels like you are working hard, and the client is pointing and pointing at you, and then saying to you, "You don't look like you have much technical content", "If you have nothing to do, work overtime to help me finish it..."

Probably because he left Celer, Orkus's suppressed desire to express himself blossomed. He saw Lu Yu's sympathy and laughed.

"Sure enough, summoners can understand summoners."

Lu Yu: "I can only say that I express my deep sympathy, but I have a question. What will happen to the people in your family after you defect?"

This is also the reason why Lu Yu is wary. If Orkus defected without making corresponding preparations, it would give him a feeling that he can return to Celer at any time.

Orkus hesitated for a while, covered his left shoulder with his hand, and an indescribable sadness appeared on his face.

"They will be fine... My daughter will be fine too. After all, everyone saw that she stabbed me with a sword."

Disappointed with Bidilis and not wanting to continue to be involved in the dispute, Orkus, who could not study summoning, made sufficient preparations before escaping.

He first took out all the books and summoning experiment manuals in the basement of his home in the name of summoning experiments and transported them to the western frontier.

He also confirmed that there were no secret sentries following him halfway and replaced the books, hiding the real summoning books in the border city-state of Celer.

On the night of his escape, Orcus called his daughter Kalani and told her bluntly that he was about to defect.

"I thought she would draw the sword without hesitation, but I waited for a long time and she didn't."

"She was very confused, her hand on the sword, but her body was shaking... I always thought she really hated me, hated that I was addicted to summoning and didn't take good care of her since she was a child."

"It turns out she didn't... She just didn't know how to face me, but I foolishly thought that she really didn't like me."

Lu Yu recalled the scene of singing on the piano and said, "It turns out that the person you rescued that day was your daughter."

Olkus recalled: "When she was a child, she wanted to go to the market and watch those clumsy magicians conjure pigeons and flowers in front of her and pull out ropes with blades from their mouths."

"I don't think much of these craftsmen. You know, magicians are always arrogant. I was just a young man back then, so I told her that there was nothing to see. Those were all lies, just some tricks."

"She cried loudly and made a fuss to every servant and every elder in the house saying that I was a bad father, I was still obsessed with summoning, thinking that these were just the child's angry words, and they would soon be forgotten. "

"It turned out that I was right. She soon forgot about the bad father she had said, and still asked me to take her out to play." Orkus was crying, "but I still refused, because I was still studying summoning."

"Again and again, I don't know when she stopped coming to me... No one was no longer making noise around me, and no one would pester me to go out. I just spent every day quietly... Then accompanied by an explosion, I covered my bloody eyes and suddenly found that Kalani had grown up. "

"You can't understand the horror, it's like being trapped in an infinitely looping dream for a long time, and those ordinary days passed like flowing water. Day after day, I fell into the dream and was already marked by time, but I didn't know it... I don't know when she grew up and I got old..."

Lu Yu opened his mouth slightly, wanting to comfort her with a few words, but closed his mouth after feeling the heaviness of this passage.

He didn't know whether to admire Orcus's obsession and concentration on summoning, or to lament that someone like him chose to get married and have children.

He was a qualified summoner, but not a good husband or a good father.

Lu Yu said: "You forced her to hunt you down and let everyone see this scene, so that even if Bidilis had doubts, she couldn't do anything to her."

Orkus nodded.

"Why don't you take her with you?" Lu Yu asked.

"I have never been a good father, so how dare I dictate her life again."

"What about your family? What will they do?"

Orkus chuckled: "I separated my family a long time ago. You know, even in a country like Serel, summoning is despised among the nobles. When I resolutely embarked on this path After that, I have been ridiculed and ostracized by my family. They felt that I wasted my talent on useless things.”

Lu Yu moved the chair directly opposite and sat down.

"What do you plan to do in the future?"

This question was asked on behalf of Le Lin. They had to confirm Orkus's plan.

"Provide me with a quiet place to live, where I can study my calling in peace."

"I can't completely make the decision, but this doesn't sound too difficult. You can talk to Le Lin and the others, is there anything else?" Lu Yu asked.

"I will not participate in any war, whether it is against Serel or the conquest between the various tribes of Mostana, so do not expect me to contribute."

I really just want to do research seriously and don’t want to be distracted anymore.

Lu Yu nodded: "I can help you fight for this, is there anything else?"

Orkus hesitated for a while and said: "If you encounter my daughter in the war against Selel, I hope you can..."

Lu Yu knew what he wanted to say and reminded: "This is war, magic, guns and swords don't have eyesight, no one can help you keep an eye on your daughter."

Orkus was a little depressed. He sighed and said nothing for a long time.

Lu Yu clapped his hands, breaking the silence in the crypt.

"We've finished talking about your business, now it's time to talk about what's going on between us."

Orkus's somewhat dim eyes gradually brightened, and the summoning spell was like a switch that awakened another soul in him.

"Actually, I also have questions to ask you, but you should ask them first. After all, you are a summoning scholar, and you still come here in this way. I must respect your professionalism."

Orkus took a deep breath and couldn't wait to ask the question he wanted to know the most.

"You've been to that strange world where the sky is white and filled with summoning bubbles, right?"

Lu Yu nodded without hesitation.

"I want to ask you something. After you visited that world, did you immediately see a black vortex emerging near the summoning ceremony during the summoning, or did you only see it after a long time?"

Lu Yu began to remember.

He went to the world of white light for the first time after summoning the flesh and blood chariot. After that, he did not see the black vortex during the summoning process. It was not until the last time he summoned the piano that he discovered the strange vortex.

This vortex just quietly emerged near the summoned object that had not yet arrived, constantly absorbing the magic power released from his body.

"It must have been a long time, at least half a year... Do you know what this whirlpool is?"

Orkus said: "There are speculations, but I am not sure. I need to get back the summoning manual and books to answer your question."

Lu Yu interrupted Orkus. He also had a question that he couldn't bear to express.

"I heard someone say that your most famous summon is the Dragon Slayer. The Dragon Slayer is derived from a dragon-slaying warrior in the history of Selel. It is classified as a heroic spirit summon... In other words, this summon, It’s not something you created, but it’s an actual prototype?”

Orkus felt that Lu Yu's question was paving the way for why, so he answered readily: "There is indeed an actual prototype, but after my personal investigation, he actually only killed two dragons in his life, and the strength of the dragons is also Not strong, not impressive in terms of record, just a typical person with a good reputation and average strength.”

"Are you sure you didn't make any special changes to the Dragon Slayer?"

"Change, change?" Orkus was confused. "Although the summoned object can obtain strange powers by modifying some descriptions, the price paid will also undergo subtle changes. In most cases, the summoner will not change the summons at will. Contracted, they care more about safety than stronger power, and no one wants the Morlock incident to happen to them. "

"The Morlock Incident?"

"Oh, it's a summoner named Morlock on the continent of Kolai. On a whim, he decided to add some details to a water elemental summon that he often summoned, trying to strengthen its power."

"No one knows what kind of changes he made. During the summoning process, Morlock suddenly became cold and called for help to his companions. When his companions looked over, his body shriveled up rapidly. Within a few seconds, It turned into a mummy.”

"Even so, Morlock did not die. It seemed that something was hanging on him... According to his own description before death, he felt that his body had become a transit station, and the absorbed magic power was quickly swallowed up. Empty.”

"In the end, Morlock died in pain after maintaining his appearance of neither human nor ghost for nearly half a day. According to the results of the autopsy performed by the local Magicians Association, all the blood in Morlock's body was missing... To be precise, the water disappeared. ”

"Not only that, every part of his body has traces of magic overload, and some of his bones have experienced a 'brittle' phenomenon similar to what occurs when catalytic plant growth is used."

Lu Yu's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

"Just changed the description?"

Orkus said: "No one knows, but generally experienced summoners will also modify the contract content when they modify the description. Maybe it is a problem with the contract template, or maybe it is the bad news caused by the change in description. Only Morlock himself knows. "

"In short, the summoning template, which includes the composition description, the magic lines depicted, the order of the contract text, the magic injection speed, and the rhythm frequency all need to be adjusted. It is cumbersome and requires constant exploration...but groping often means unknown things. It is dangerous, so the previous summoning schools would all inherit a set of useful summoning templates. However, with the decline of the summoning school, a large number of summoning templates have been lost, and new summoners often need to explore on their own... To be honest, I don't understand why. The preparation process for summoning is so complicated that it is comparable to refining medicine and exploring pharmacology next door.”

"By the way, there are actually a lot of things that happened to Morlock, and they have appeared in various continents. Therefore, the contempt and rejection of summoning in many continents is also due to safety concerns. After all, no one can explain why these problems occur. , just like the eternal mystery of summoning - why the summoned object is wrong. "

Lu Yu had encountered the oolong incident of incorrect goods several times. He was really confused. He didn't know what the world had done wrong to allow such oolongs to continue for more than a thousand years.

As for the summoning template...

Lu Yu's summoning template was provided by Lulutis, which can be said to be very easy to use.

He also asked Lulu, wanting to know who created and perfected this template. After all, according to her, she didn't have many friends at all, and there was no summoner who could stand out in Solon or even in the entire Mera continent.

So the question becomes, where did she get the template?

You can't just dig out a relic from the soil, pick it up casually, and throw it over as a gift package when you hear that Lu Yu wants to become a summoner, right?

With Lulutis's rigor, she must have ensured its safety before letting Lu Yu use it.

Without communicating with Orkus, he really didn't realize that the template he had been using was such a useful treasure.

"Lulutis, where did you get so much magical knowledge? You can't explain it by saying you are a genius this time, right?"

Lu Yu decided that after Lulutis woke up this time, he must hold her and ask her clearly.
