Chapter 261 260 Match Fixing

Chapter 261 260. Match-fixing

It was a very appropriate answer, explaining the reason, giving enough face, and paving the way. If it weren't for the last sentence, everything would seem so harmonious.

Even if Lu Yu himself thought this sentence was not offensive, it had a different taste when it fell into the ears of the guests.

Viscount Duville, this young and impulsive young man faced countless eyes, and he didn't know whether he was angry because he was underestimated or excited because he was noticed. He threw a word from his teeth.

"Summon Duel."

The hall was quiet.

Zenir, Tanya and Sera, who predicted the direction of things, were not surprised that Duville would say this. This is a very easy to understand person, young and energetic, and will not miss any opportunity to show himself.

There is a clear difference between the summoner duel and the summoner duel. If you want to make an analogy, the former is a cricket fight, and the latter is a Pokémon battle, and it is a Pokémon battle that the trainer can personally participate in.

Orcus introduced to Lu Yu that when the summoning school appeared, the history of the summoner duel also began.

There are two common duel rules, one is open fighting, the other is secret fighting.

Open fighting refers to two summoners summoning the strongest summons they can summon, and letting the summons fight without any instructions from the summoners. The situation is like throwing two people into the ancient Roman Colosseum. Whoever's summons stand to the end is the winner.

Secret fighting is full of black humor. This is a gameplay that still has a very wide audience after the decline of the summoning genre.

Using a unified summoning template, without depicting or describing, using randomly obtained summons to fight, can be understood as a card drawing duel. Because of the randomness and the viewing value of cricket fighting, secret fighting has also given birth to a huge chain of interests. In addition to gambling, in order to satisfy the abnormal and perverted desires of some people who are bored, even unruly secret fighting has been derived, that is, duel behaviors that allow the use of suicidal playing methods such as overpayment are allowed. There is no winner in this kind of duel. The loser will surely die. Even if the winner is lucky enough to survive at the moment of paying the price, he will not get the mercy of the bettors and the dealer. Becoming a meal for the wolf is the most common and best outcome.

No one wants to fight in an unregulated secret fight, but the powerful have various ways to force you to fight.

Summoning templates were not uncommon in that era, and the surviving schools still have universal templates, so as long as you have a little magic power, you can "participate" in an unregulated secret fight.

Therefore, some people modify it to say that the witch hunt against the summoning school is actually a protection for the lower-level magicians and normal summoners. After all, rotten and smelly roots cannot grow towering trees.

But unfortunately, summoning duels are still one of the means for the nobles to have fun. Unregulated secret fights still exist, but they have become hidden and difficult to trace. After the decline of the summoning school, those hunters with a strong sense of justice rarely organize actions against this behavior.

Sera gently picked up a piece of powdery pastry on the table and put it into her mouth, chewing it hard. If she didn't do this, she was afraid that she would laugh out loud.

She saw Lu Yu questioning her with his eyes, so she nodded slightly to him.

Fight, fight! She had long been unhappy with Adela, who was lustful, thick-skinned, and entangled with her. If it weren't for the identity of God's Chosen, Sera would definitely press his head into the explosive dust prepared by Lulu, give him a little magic power, and watch him bloom in the sky full of fire.

Lu Yu had no reason to refuse. From the conversation, he learned that Duville was actually a fifth-level magician. Although there was a gap in rank between them, Lu Yu felt that this would be a duel without suspense.

Zenier walked down. As the protagonist of today's banquet, he accepted the duel application of the two as the host, and invited them to the ground in the courtyard specially for magicians to practice.

Given the risks of summoned creatures dueling, most of the audience could only watch from the light screens projected by magicians in the mansion. A few lucky ones got a window seat to watch directly, while those with noble status and good strength among the guests could naturally watch from the closest position to the scene.

Lu Yu and Duville were already in place. The professor from the Royal School of Magic of Solon personally served as the referee. He floated in the air, accepted the duel salute from the two duelists, and then announced the rules of the duel.

Open duel, no overpayment allowed, no time limit.

Zenier walked to Sera leisurely, secretly sniffed the pleasant fragrance on Sera's body, and asked: "Mr. Lu Yu is only a fourth-level magician, aren't you worried?"

Low-level suitors were left to Lu Yu to deal with, and Sera had to cheer up and face people like Zenier in person.

"Ten Duvilles may not be Lu Yu's opponent."

"Is it a bit exaggerated?"

Seeing Sera looking at him with strange eyes, Zenier asked suspiciously: "Am I wrong?"

"I said ten, which is very conservative."

Zenier smiled gentlemanly: "Do you mean that the power he gained from studying summoning is even better than those scholars?"

"You misunderstood again. What I meant is that in a duel of life and death, Duville will definitely die."

Zenier's expression became serious and no longer relaxed at the beginning.

Tanya came over at some point and heard the whole conversation. She clapped her hands: "In this case, my brother, make a bet with the chosen one?"

Zenier looked at Sera.

"Sir Middleton has a set of summoning books that have been collected by many people. If I win, I will take that one."

Zenil's smile was a little stiff. Sera obviously wanted this unique set of books for Lu Yu.

"I won, and I invited Serah to have dinner with me."

Sera said disapprovingly: "Please ask your butler to go and get the original copy from Sir Middleton now. Maybe I can take it with me when I leave."

The summons has begun. At each window of the mansion, the guests are no longer the gentlemen they were before. Even the reserved ladies are standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks, eager to see the duel of summons presided over by the prince.

A dazzling white light flashed above Duvel's head, which made the guests who only looked at the surface cheer.

Lu Yu, who could see the iconic vortex of the summoning ceremony, already knew about Duvel's summons. He couldn't help but cover his face and sighed.

The white light dissipated, the summoned object fell to the ground, and the nobles in the mansion exclaimed.

This is a big dark tree, with countless green eyeballs hanging on the branches that should be dotted with countless leaves. They are constantly turning, and their slightly narrowed eyeballs seem to be mocking everyone around them. The huge abyss mouth at the root of the tree is constantly opening and closing, and the surrounding magic power fluctuates with the rhythm of its opening and closing.

Duvel opened his hands and proudly announced to the people around him: "This is the summoning object I summoned not long ago. He has never been found in the known summoning map, even the most knowledgeable summons in the empire. A brand-new discovery that even shocked scholars, take a look, Look, look at his terrifying eyes, look at his holes hidden under the skin that can spit out magic, and look at this strong and upright figure. Gentlemen and ladies, this should be published later. The great summoned creature appears in front of you now!"

The guests were excited. They were shocked by the ugliness and deformity of this summoned object. The densely packed eyes made everyone lose the desire to eat, and the fear deep in their hearts was aroused, turning into the purest disgust for this summoned object.

But people's curiosity is too strong. Even if they feel uncomfortable, they still work hard to overcome it and carefully look at every part of the summoned object.

Some people reminded their companions to pay attention to Lu Yu's expression.

Lu Yu covered his eyes, looking like his psychological defenses had been defeated and about to collapse, which made the guests laugh. After all, this glutton could not stabilize his good mentality.

Chihong, who was guarding Tanya, felt a very obvious magical suppression aura. In other words, this tree had the ability to restrain magic.

"Chihong, do you feel danger?"

"Your Highness, this tree is not only ugly, it seems to be full of malice towards the magician."

"Have you ever heard of such a summons before?"

"Such a deformity is unheard of."

The tree that looks exactly like him has grown fruit again. Maybe this is a special signal.

Tanya looked at Duvel in surprise, and the thought of wooing him suddenly arose in her heart.

Zenil suddenly smiled politely and proudly. He caught a glimpse of Sera's inadvertent expression of shock and responded to what he just said: "Perhaps Sera can think about what to eat for dinner. I will let the chef do it now." Prepare."

Sera didn't speak. Although she didn't know how Duvel summoned this summoned object, she still didn't think Lu Yu would lose, but it would be more difficult to win.

The professor from Solon Royal Academy of Magic sympathized with Lu Yu. After waiting for a long time, he saw Lu Yu remove his hands from his face and look directly at the evil summons summoned by Duvel. Then he slowly reminded Lu Yu that it was time to summon. .

At the same time, the professor asked Duville: "Does your summon have a name?"

"Master Cuckoo named it 'Broken Eye'."

Lu Yu sighed again.

What a Broken Eye, this name is worse than the Demon-Eating Tree that I named myself.

It should have been thought of long ago that the Flesh Chariot can already be summoned by other summoners, so the Demon-Eating Tree that was banned together with it will naturally be unsealed.

Lu Yu didn't expect that his Demon-Eating Tree would be summoned by such a summoner. The whole world was beating gongs and drums to declare his sovereignty over the Demon-Eating Tree, and he was proud of it.

What is this? My work has been plagiarized, and the other party has used the plagiarized work to shout at me all over the world. Now I have to use my own work to blast myself...

Orkus could guess that the appearance of the summoned object meant that there were other potential creators, or that the same creature as the summoned object was born. The cuckoo master who named it did not mention this, as if he was bitten by The appearance of the magic tree went to his head.

"Lord Lu Yu, it's your turn."

Duvel, who thought he had a chance to win, helped the referee remind Lu Yu again.

While Lu Yu took out the summoning manual, his eyes wandered around the Demon-Eating Tree. The Demon-Eating Tree gently swayed its branches covered with eyeballs and greeted Lu Yu.

"Sure enough, you and Flesh Chariot are not like that two-and-a-half-year-old piano guy."

Lu Yu smiled and flipped through the summoning manual.

"Which one should you choose to open your eyes without being too cruel?"

After a moment he said: "Why don't you let me come?"

"Sela will definitely accuse me when you show up. She managed to put on a disguise for you. You should just stay alone for now."

The page freezes and the summoning ceremony begins.

In the black vortex that no one saw except Lu Yu, a book fell to the ground, and then expanded and became two stories high.

The college professor who was the referee had a keen eye and noticed that this book seemed to be very similar to the pamphlet Lu Yu was holding.

After Duville summoned, he took the initiative to stir up the atmosphere. Lu Yu did not say a word after the summoning. This made many people more willing to support Duville and more willing to believe that the Devouring Demon Tree is a new summon with epoch-making significance.

As for Lu Yu's book... I really can't see what's so great about it.

"Are both sides ready?"

Lu Yu and Duville both moved away from their summons.

"Then, let's start."

As soon as the voice fell, both of them gave the summons an attack order, and then let them fight according to their own ideas.

As Lu Yu's fourth summon, the book flipped quickly, and the surrounding magic power was attracted and quickly gathered into its body.

Realizing that Lu Yu's summon was about to release magic, Duville was very happy.

When the colorful magic burst out from the pages, Duville shouted jokingly: "The Broken Eye can absorb magic, your magic will only become its food, stupid!"

The victory was sure, watching the opponent step into the trap step by step, and then the feeling of mocking in one breath was too wonderful, and Duville's body was light after speaking.

Lu Yu smiled at the Devouring Demon Tree, just smiled, but did not speak.

The Devouring Demon Tree shuddered, closed its open mouth silently, and threw out a bunch of eyeballs, attacking Lu Yu's book summons.

The rolling eyeballs were obviously not as fast as the magic that was flying fast. In the blink of an eye, the Devouring Demon Tree was covered by the magic that fell like a rainstorm, and its body became riddled with holes. The magic that maintained its existence also began to collapse at this moment.

"That's right, it's not a life-and-death fight between summoners, asking you to betray your own summoner."

Through Orcus, Lu Yu already knew that the greatest favor his summons would give him was not to kill him. No matter what Orcus ordered, the Flesh Chariot would not execute it. This final blow could only be completed by Orcus himself.

The same is true for the Devouring Demon Tree, but today is a summon duel, not a life-and-death fight between two people. Therefore, the Devouring Demon Tree played a fake game without any acting skills in front of its creator, leaving a group of confused spectators staring at each other.

Douville looked at the gradually dissipating Devouring Demon Tree in astonishment. After a while, he shouted in confusion and anger: "Broken Eye, why don't you absorb his magic power, what are you doing!"

The eyes of the Devouring Demon Tree that had not yet dissipated all showed innocent eyes, which made Duville feel desperate.

He just let out his big words, repeatedly describing the Broken Eye as a great creation, and victory seemed to be within reach.

But now he lost, like a clown performing comedy for the nobles.

Lu Yu patted his fourth summoned creature [Book of Knowledge] with satisfaction. The ability of this summoned creature that had just passed the world consciousness review was to release a large number of magic replicas learned by the summoner himself. Although the power was lower than the normal release, the qualitative change brought by the quantity was amazing.

Of course, its shortcomings were also obvious. The Book of Knowledge could not move normally. Its only function was to transform into a large turret, squeeze Lu Yu's magic power, and suppress the enemy from a distance.
