Chapter 201 200 I Need You to Be Hungry!
Chapter 201 200. I need you to be hungry!
"Are we leaving now?"
"Do you have anything else to do?" Sera, who had finished teasing Lu Yu, stood up with the box.
"A little..." Lu Yu said, "I have an agreement with a summoning scholar. I want to copy his summoning manual and borrow some books. His summoning library is stored in a border city in Celer. Now it is in a state of war, and he has no way to return to Celer to transport a large number of books."
Sera blinked, and her curved eyelashes trembled.
"Summoning scholar, summoning books?" Sera asked curiously, "Is that scholar the source of the blue water flesh and blood monster?"
Instantly, Sera became interested.
It seemed unlikely to her that a summoned creature would kill 100,000 people, but with such an outrageous rumor, this summoner must have played a decisive role in the war. According to her understanding, the summoning school has not dominated large-scale wars in recent years. After all, other magicians can always do better than it.
The Church currently has only two summoners, and both are summoning scholars, and their daily lives are basically spent on research. If we really talk about combat power, these fifth-level magicians may not even be able to beat some excellent fourth-level magicians.
"Sorry... The flesh and blood monster you are talking about is named Piano, and he was not summoned by Orcus, but by me."
"..."
"..."
Sera stared at Lu Yu, her eyes full of confusion.
Then she smiled: "Stop it. I know you don't like being teased, but you don't have to tell such a lame lie. You are a third-level magician. According to what you said, you should have been a second-level magician a while ago. Second-level magicians have difficulty in amplifying large-scale magic. Summoning always requires a lot of magic. What do you use to summon a summon that can eat tens of thousands of people?"
"It can't be an overpayment, right?" Sera waved her hand, "If that's the case, the price will definitely make you finished. There's no reason to stand here."
Lu Yu was happy. He knew that Sera made inferences based on common sense and therefore didn't trust him, so he didn't say much and took Sera to Orcus's home.
Oerkus and Bread, who were cleaning the new house, immediately gave Lu Yu a smile when he suddenly visited, but after seeing Sera, the smile turned into caution.
"Olkus, come and give me a proof." Lu Yu went straight to the point, "Who summoned the piano?"
Olkus was stunned for a while, and after feeling the magic aura on Sera, he shuddered all over, and at the same time he knew what Lu Yu had just encountered.
He first asked tentatively: "You didn't encounter anything just now?"
"No, don't worry, this rabbit... oh no, Sera, is a friend of my good friend."
It seems that Lulu has often heard her call herself a rabbit...
But when Sera heard Lu Yu call Lulu that, she could only smile awkwardly but politely.
A sense of loss that half of the most important position in Lulu's heart was taken away spontaneously arose.
"Ms. Sera, the flesh-and-blood monster you mentioned is actually called the piano by Lu Yu. This is also his creation... Maybe there is a better way to describe it, or maybe this statement is incorrect, but this is the only way I can describe it now..."
Sera sighed: "As expected of a scholar, this wording is really rigorous..."
After sighing, Sera still didn't believe it. She asked: "It is rumored that this flesh-and-blood monster devoured more than 10,000 soldiers, which means that the strength of the summoned creature is very high. Although I don't understand summoning, I have a basic level of magic. Lu Yu is just a second-level magician. How can he summon such a monster?"
"Rabbit... Oh no, Ms. Sera, some common sense is not applicable to summoning. You are also a high-level magician, and you should be very clear about the chaotic current situation of summoning. At the same time, some common sense is not applicable to Lu Yu's summons. His summons have the power to become stronger by swallowing flesh and blood. In this war, the piano gradually became a real flesh-and-blood monster by swallowing a little bit."
Sera's head buzzed, and he looked at Lu Yu beside him with incredible eyes.
"You mean... swallowing 100,000 people, is that true?"
"Maybe what you said is a bit conservative. I was in the Celer camp at the time. According to the statistics of the clerks of each legion afterwards, among the 230,000 troops heading south to Blue Water City, except for the 50,000 legions attacking the surrounding races, the legions that confronted Blue Water head-on lost more than half, and even the entire legion was destroyed."
"Celer's Emperor Bidilis strictly forbids the publication of specific loss data, but according to the information I received, among the 180,000 people who confronted Blue Water head-on, 130,000 people were 'missing'."
Lu Yu added Point: "Actually, if you don't believe it, you can go and see the supplies we got from cleaning the battlefield when we were rebuilding."
Orcus nodded: "That's right. At that time, Celer was beaten by the piano and retreated in a hurry. A lot of supplies were abandoned in the camp and there was no time to recover them. Although they were destroyed by the piano, there should be a lot left. You can tell the truth from the false with just one look."
Sera's brain is almost not enough. As the chosen one of God for so many years, she has dealt with many major countries and even envoys from other continents. She can be considered knowledgeable, but this time, she has never heard of it.
Although Sera is very curious about why Orcus, a Celer who participated in the Blue Water War, is here, she has something else to know.
"I landed in Celer on the way to Mostana and asked for directions. I also learned that there are many sixth-level magicians in their country. Were there no sixth-level magicians in the Blue Water War? A group of sixth-level magicians besieged Flesh and Blood... Piano?"
"Even if the sixth-level standard in Mostana is relatively low, a concentrated offensive can always have an impact on the summoned creatures, right?"
"That's 100,000 soldiers. How could they be killed by a summoned creature?"
Orkus patiently explained the several abilities of the piano to Sera, his tone full of pride.
Although he was not the summoner of the piano, Orkus was very satisfied to see a high-level magician so shocked.
Sera looked at Lu Yu with surprise at first, and then with suspicion.
Lu Yu also knew how the outside world would view the rumors of the Blue Water War through Sera's reaction.
As the chosen of the Church, like Lulu, they have a wide range of knowledge and strong strength. At their level, there are few things that can make them so shocked.
No matter which continent, everyone's understanding of summoned creatures has been fixed as "common sense".
Eating 100,000 people, this kind of information is too counterintuitive, and it can become a "rumor" without any artistic processing. Even if the person who spread it is the Celer people, the Kolai people who are relatively close to the Celer people, and the information is basically not distorted, everyone will think it is a joke.
After listening to Orcus's description, Sera basically believed it, but she still stubbornly wanted to visit the baggage abandoned by the Celer.
Lu Yu found Ye Shui and asked her to take Sera to have a good look.
Taking advantage of this gap, Bread brought tea to Lu Yu.
"Bread is still obedient. If you are not here, I will not have tea and snacks when I come."
Bread proudly put his hands on his waist: "Of course."
This little expression asking for praise reminded Lu Yu of his own fog monster. Every time the fog monster helped to do something, it would always float back and forth in front of Lu Yu. As long as Lu Yu did not praise it, she would not leave.
After a period of getting along, Lu Yu and Orcus have a very good relationship, and teasing each other is just a daily routine.
It is hard to imagine that not long ago, the two of them were still on the land under their feet, drawn together by an inexplicable impulse.
One almost died in order to know what this impulse was.
The other almost killed the other in order to appease his curiosity and the anxiety of not being able to control the summoned creatures.
After meeting, the "impulse" that had been throbbing in his heart disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The two had also discussed what this impulse was, and several speculations were listed, but in the end they were all temporarily overturned by the rigorous Orkus with "no evidence, no confirmation".
Lu Yu gently pinched the face of the bread, and the bread could not be slapped off no matter how hard he slapped it. Seeing this scene, Orkus couldn't help laughing.
Hearing the laughter, Lu Yu's mouth corners rose, and he stopped teasing the bread, but picked up a piece of preserved fruit and threw it into his mouth, tasting it carefully.
Bread has become one of the few comforts for Orkus.
For the sake of summoning, he left his homeland, and left the emperor who might push himself into hell for summoning, and even bring hell to his homeland.
He had realized that he was not a competent father and would never have the chance to make up for his daughter's shortcomings.
In order not to be tortured by the pain, Orcus returned all the responsibilities that he had not fulfilled in the first half of his life to Bread.
This war took away what they cared about most. Now that they can get out of it and live a quiet life again, it is already the best result.
Lu Yu explained to Orcus where Sera came from.
"Are you leaving?"
Lu Yu nodded gently: "My friend has a problem, I must go with her to solve it. But before I leave, I still want to take a look at your summoning manual and those treasured summoning books."
"This is difficult. Suyi City is close to the border, and it is wartime now. The domestic inspection of Celer is very strict. Even the foreign merchant caravan will be strictly checked. So many books will definitely be discovered."
Lu Yu couldn't see the summoning manual written by an outstanding summoning scholar, and he was uneasy!
Sera pushed open the door, walked straight to Lu Yu, put her hands on his shoulders, and her eyes looked at Lu Yu carefully from top to bottom.
It was clearly an admiring look, but Lu Yu felt that there were other emotions hidden in it, which was a bit complicated.
"Is this another reason why you advance slowly?"
"I guess so... After all, if you spend time thinking about summoning, you basically don't practice much."
"Well, since it is the path you choose, just keep going. Believe that your inner choice is always right."
Listening to Sera's words, Lu Yu suddenly had an idea.
"Sera, can you help bring back all the books in Orcus's collection?"
Sera tidied her clothes and patted off the dust.
"Where are they, and are there many?"
After confirming Lu Yu's summoning miracle, Sera couldn't help but become interested.
Orcus had just learned from Lu Yu that Sera had a dragon, and he also thought that this was possible, so he immediately took out a map and pointed to the border of Celer.
"There are about more than a thousand books, all stored in one place."
Sera frowned, held her chin and thought for a while, then walked out the door and called for the stupid dragon.
Because Sera punished Benlong by making him face the wall because he put Lulu in his mouth and rolled her around with his tongue when Sera wasn't paying attention, when he heard Sera calling him, he happily flew over.
Sera picked up Lu Yu's summoning manual, patted the belly of the stupid dragon, and then gestured again.
"Are there many thick and heavy books?"
Oerkus touched his head: "Sorry, there are too many books, I can't remember them clearly."
Sera held her chin and thought for a while: "Okay, you go with me. If you can't fit them, you can take the important ones away."
Oerkus and Lu Yu's eyes lit up. Unlike Orkus's excitement, Lu Yu quickly calmed down.
He asked worriedly: "You plan to break in with the stupid dragon, but that is the border after all. What if you are besieged?"
Even a powerful magician like Sera would be in danger of being besieged by a large number of enemies, not to mention that they rely on the stupid dragon to cross the border. If the stupid dragon is injured, they will be trapped.
"Don't worry about this problem, I have a way."
Sera's tone contains extremely strong confidence, making people feel that even if Celer's sixth level besieges together, she has a way.
This time it was Lu Yu who was excited, and Orkus was worried.
Lu Yu knew Sera's fighting power, but Orcus only knew that Sera was a level six.
"Since it's decided, I'll let Benlong start preparing and set off tomorrow."
Erkus, who couldn't wait to set off now, asked curiously: "Does this dragon need a backpack?"
"If the backpack is attacked, all your books will be destroyed, so use my magic."
Sera patted the aggrieved Benlong's face: "Since you hold Lulu in your mouth as a toy, I decided to let you get close to Lulu in the future, and you are not allowed to eat!"
Benlong's tears flowed as soon as he said it.
"Bad Sera... Bad Sera... I want Lulu, I want Lulu!"
"Hmm?"
"I was wrong..."
"That's right."
Sera leaned against Benlong's mouth, with his ears erect.
"If you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment, right?"
"Yes." Benlong answered with tears in his eyes.
"Well, if you help me do something, I will put Lulu on your head and let you protect her for a day, okay?"
Benlong was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Then it's settled. For tomorrow's matter, I need you to be hungry temporarily. Of course, after the matter is completed, I will let you have a full meal."
Benlong didn't agree immediately when he heard about food, but reminded: "And Lulu, I want Lulu."
"Okay, Lulu is also for you."
Looking at the incomprehensible conversation between Sera and Benlong, Lu Yu asked curiously: "There is a lot of blue water to eat, why let Benlong go on an empty stomach?"
Sera smiled.
"You will know tomorrow."
