Chapter 255 254 A Genius Idea

Chapter 255 254. Genius Idea

How much does it cost to find a descendant of a summoner from seven hundred years ago?

The answer is two silver coins and four bottles of good wine. If you add a few more copper coins, you can lead the way to the end and tell him something about the descendants of Segero.

Lu Yu paid the coins readily, and the Baimu-level adventurer who took over the commission took him to the city-state where the descendants of Segero were.

This manor, which is very remote from the city-state, is very grand. Along the way, you can see many slaves working in the fields, and behind them are ferocious supervisors, waving whips from time to time, playing with beautiful whip flowers.

A man who looked like a butler found Lu Yu, and he didn't dare to neglect it, and hurried back to the mansion to report.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Lu Yu saw a woman dressed up in a gorgeous way. I don't know if it was a trend in this city-state. She put on a straw hat full of bird feathers with the help of a servant.

The servant who dressed her up was the type that everyone would avoid if the price started at one silver coin in the slave market. As a family that could afford servants and slaves, no one would buy such an ugly servant. It was unknown what the woman wanted.

The woman also saw Lu Yu and Lulu, and saw Lu Yu giving silver coins and wine money to the adventurers around him.

"Mrs. Riley?"

Like a fighting cock, Mrs. Riley took off her hat, looked Lu Yu up and down, and at the same time stole a few glances at Lulu beside Lu Yu without leaving a trace.

"Who are you?"

Lu Yu did not tell the real purpose of his visit, but found another excuse.

"I am a scholar who specializes in collecting books related to summoning. Mr. Riley's ancestor happened to be a famous summoner, so I came to visit him."

When she heard that it was a scholar, Mrs. Riley smiled. She held her head high and ordered the ugly servant in a very stylish manner: "Please tell Sir Charlie that I have a distinguished guest to receive and cannot attend his banquet."

After being welcomed into the magnificent mansion, the servants served fruit wine, but the paired cakes were nowhere to be seen. Lulu drank the fruit wine dry and frowned as she looked at the cake plate taken away by the servants not far away.

Riley, the owner of the mansion, walked down from the second floor leisurely. The smile on his face was impeccable, but it made Lu Yu feel fake for no reason.

Seeing Lu Yu looking around the mansion, Mrs. Riley twisted her mouth, turned her head with some disdain, called a servant, and asked something.

Lulu saw Mrs. Riley's expression, and then glanced at Lu Yu who was being polite to Riley, and finally said nothing.

"Lu Yu... a very difficult name, seems to come from a very far place. According to my wife, you want to buy some summoning-related books from us?"

Lu Yu retracted his gaze and focused on the couple.

The reason why he looked around like a country bumpkin was to find out how Riley, the descendant of Segro, was doing.

Segro died seven hundred years ago, and the kingdoms on the Collai continent have risen and fallen for many times, but his descendants are still continuing, and the inheritance has not been broken. Looking at the decoration and size of the house, it can be seen that he is still rich today. Lu Yu thinks Segro should be very happy to know this.

"Yes, I am very interested in the summoning collection left by your ancestor Segero. If you have it, you might as well take it out for me to see. If it is suitable, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."

Lulu has never seen someone's face change so quickly. Mrs. Riley, who was lying on the soft chair, sat up after hearing "satisfactory price", stared at Lu Yu, and said before Riley.

"That is scarce summoning knowledge. Are you sure you can afford it?"

Lu Yu didn't care about the doubts in Mrs. Riley's words at all. He took out a gold grain from the big bowl and put it on the table.

Riley got up and left, while Mrs. Riley got up with a smile. Not long after, there were a lot of cakes in front of Lulu, who was drinking fruit wine, but Lulu lost her appetite and was too lazy to drink the fruit wine, so she handed it directly to Lu Yu.

When the Rileys entered the basement, they didn't notice that a wisp of white mist followed them.

"I thought he was a poor scholar, but I didn't expect him to be so rich. Did you see the gold nuggets he took out? The color is so perfect. Oh my god... he must have more!"

The arrogance on Mrs. Riley's face disappeared. She gestured while talking, looking excited.

"Who said it wasn't? We met a fool. We used gold to buy a few broken books, and summoned such a rubbish school. I have never seen such a fool. Charlie has been mocking us for being nouveau riche. We have nothing but money. Who said we don't have it!"

Lu Yu was a little tired. He didn't want to continue dictating, so he let the fog monster quietly return to his side.

After a while, the Rileys returned to the hall with a few yellowed books and a few broken animal skin scrolls.

Mrs. Riley blurted out very naturally: "A gold nugget can only be shown to you. These things are treasures passed down from generation to generation in the Riley family. They are not for sale."

Lulu sighed, and finally couldn't help it.

She picked up a scroll of animal skin and blew away the dust on it: "Where can a treasure passed down from generation to generation be placed to absorb so much dust, or is this the skin of a monster I don't know about, and must be stored in a dusty place?"

Lu Yu flipped through it twice, his body trembling constantly, and his breath suddenly became heavy, as if he had seen the most incredible thing.

He couldn't control his expression and asked anxiously: "Is this all?"

Shocked by Lu Yu's sudden change of expression, Riley was stunned for a while before nodding in astonishment: "All are here."

Lu Yu looked through all the books Riley took out, and then unfolded the scroll to examine it, saying it was impossible.

Lu Yu took out a few more gold grains from the big bowl and placed them on the table: "Tell me where the remaining books are."

Mrs. Riley ordered the servants to take away all the gold on the table, and then smiled and said: "The remaining books were either destroyed in the war or lost in the process of inheritance. In short, there are only so many in our generation."

Lulu teased: "Just now someone said that this is the treasure of the Riley family?"

Lu Yu looked at the book in his hand and the blurred notes on it, feeling heartbroken.

This is truly priceless and inestimable knowledge!

At this time, he was like an archaeologist entering an ancient tomb, but saw traces of tomb robbers everywhere in the tomb. They pried away the bricks and stones, but smashed those truly priceless and important archaeological things.

Lu Yu never dreamed that the miracle idea that Orcus had talked about was right here.

In order to solve the problem of too weak combat ability, a summoner once tried to create a container that could temporarily seal the summoned creatures. This container allowed the summoner to use the summoned creatures without performing the summoning ceremony in an emergency. In this way, high-level summoners can store a large number of summoned creatures at once and maintain a certain number to deal with various emergencies.

This idea was called Pokémon flow by Lu Yu, because his first impression after hearing it was to make the container into a spherical shape that can be shrunk and enlarged.

When everyone was thinking about the summoned creatures, this summoner who took a different approach was undoubtedly a genius.

However, Orcus didn't know who proposed this idea and what stage the design was finally put into practice, because he couldn't find more manuscripts about this idea, and he couldn't be sure who was the first to conceive it and which continent it came from.

"Segro...it's you."

Lulu saw that Lu Yu was very eager for these books and was already discussing the price with the Rileys.

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel sad for Segro.

In fact, he learned a lot of things from the adventurer on the way here.

Since Segro's death, none of his descendants have embarked on the path of summoners. Not only that, several generations have not taken the large number of books he left seriously, and gave them to others as gifts when the family was at its lowest point.

Although the family with a good relationship with the Riley family reminded them that what Segro left behind was very valuable, they still did not take it seriously. The Riley family was ridiculed too much when they were down and out, and even the summoner ancestor was an attack point, which made them extremely sensitive and wanted to hide Segro, the ancestor who was once famous in Colai.

Lu Yu had long learned from the adventurer that the Riley couple were out-and-out snobs, profit-seeking, and their magic was neither good nor bad. They were not in a high position, so they often shamelessly rubbed their heads at banquets.

Few of Segro's descendants really looked like humans.

But Lu Yu didn't care about these, and his idea was very simple. Segro had helped him, even if he was a mouthpiece for the world consciousness, it was still help.

Originally, the gold grains and coins in Lu Yu's bowl were prepared for them, but now he changed his mind.

Lu Yu handed the collection of books and scrolls to Xu Yu, and turned around to leave in front of the dumbfounded Riley couple.

The Riley couple wanted to chase, but Lulu threw a small sun in the air. The moment the magic power leaked, the Riley couple realized how powerful the magician who just sat in front of them was. Until the light of the small sun disappeared and completely dissipated, their legs were still weak.

Compared with Lu Yu's performance, Seguro was extremely calm after hearing about the current situation of his descendants.

"There is no need to be worthy of me. They are my descendants. I am not angry, so don't be angry. It's not good for your health. I chose my path, and they chose their path. That's all. Let them go."

Lu Yu, who had calmed down, asked the most concerned question.

"Did your idea succeed?"

"If it succeeded, would summoning have fallen to this point?" Segro chuckled, "I did everything a summoner could do in that era, and that's enough."

Segro looked up at the sky, his eyes penetrating countless summoning bubbles, and sighed, "The limit is there, I can't cross it."

"Your descendants accidentally lost your manuscript..."

"You just tried to cover up and didn't finish your words, let me say it for you, it's not that they accidentally lost it, but that they never took those manuscripts seriously. You can still see my original ideas and attempts from the manuscripts, which means that you got at least two manuscripts, which is enough to surprise me. I thought they had thrown away all my things."

Segro stared at the sky in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Perhaps this is also the arrangement of fate. If you hadn't thought about doing something for my spirit, you wouldn't have seen those manuscripts."

"Perhaps, awakening me was one of the many possibilities speculated by Him?" Seguro couldn't help but think so at this time.

Lu Yu tentatively said: "You should be able to complete it."

Seguro shook his head: "I was awakened by Him. Do you think He will allow me to reproduce the lost knowledge in this way?"

"Lu Yu, the next era is coming, and the degree of magic power advancement is unprecedented. Many ideas will become reality, and many shackles will fall off. All schools will bloom and return to the era of flourishing flowers. You have the opportunity to realize that idea. Whether it is realized in the form I envisioned or not, I always feel that a container that can store summons and omit the time of the summoning ceremony can be made. No matter who finally realizes it, he will leave an important mark in the history of the summoning school."

Segro patted Lu Yu on the shoulder: "If you get it, it's yours. If you really find a way to realize it, please sign it for me in an inconspicuous corner. If one day summoners pick up the book you wrote, they will also know that on this road to revival, there was once a guy named Segro who worked hard to pave the way for them, the latecomers. It's a pity that his bricks were not enough and the road was not paved."

Lu Yu nodded heavily and raised his hand at the same time.

Segro, who was aroused, didn't think there was anything wrong and high-fived Lu Yu.

In an instant, Lu Yu disappeared, and he was the only one left on the ruins of the Summoner's Temple.

Segro was stunned for a while, looked at his hands, and then laughed.

In reality, Lu Yu woke up and looked around in confusion. He tried to recall it, and then he realized that shaking hands with Segro was equivalent to being teleported away from the Summoner's Temple.

"Who designed such a weird teleportation method?" Lu Yu pretended not to know whose fault it was, and cursed at the void.
