Chapter 292 291. The social death moment of middle-aged people
Oerkus was stunned for a long time, and asked the dragon slayer tentatively: "Is what he said true?"
The dragon slayer was silent.
Xuyu poked the dragon slayer's armor with his finger: "Your armor seems to have some special uses."
The dragon slayer stared at the small wings that Xuyu stretched out from behind: "Your wings seem to hide some secrets."
The two engraved summons admired each other's bodies and praised them, but silenced Orkus on the side.
The dragon slayer was talking, his voice was very magnetic and his words were clear. Although the lines on his face were still cold and hard, he was not like the stone before.
"Can talk... Why..." Orkus suddenly raised his voice, "So what Lu Yu said is true?"
The dragon slayer's sight moved from Xuyu's wings to Orkus, but the response to him was still silence, and the dragon slayer even yawned.
No matter what Orkus said, the Dragon Slayer just didn't respond.
"Sorry." Lu Yu turned around and let the laughter leak out from his fingertips little by little. If he didn't do this, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.
Mostana's greatest summoning scholar, who was committed to continuing the path of summoning, was actually despised by his own engraved summons, nakedly, without any disguise.
Orkus, who was already a middle-aged man and should be cautious, impetuous and impulsive, was broken.
Even if the stupid emperor Bidilis of Celer questioned his ability and treated him as an outsider, the damage to Orkus was not as great as the yawn of the Dragon Slayer.
"Dragon Slayer, I am your summoner!"
"Too noisy, I can't even take a shower peacefully." Bread, with wet hair, wiped his heavy tail with a bath towel.
Bread's voice made Orkus swallow the words that were about to reach his throat.
"Dragon Slayer was very helpful in shocking the dragons last time, why are you yelling at him?" Bread glanced at Orcus and muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Bread, hello."
Bread dropped the comb she used to comb her tail, and she quickly rushed to the side of the dragon slayer, her eyes sparkling: "Can you talk?"
"Always."
"But you didn't say a word when you came out last time."
The dragon slayer smiled but said nothing.
Orcus was furious. He could talk to Xu Yu and Bread, but not to himself, the summoner...
"Lu Yu, tell me the reason!"
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment: "Which reason do you want to know?"
Orcus gritted his teeth: "Tell me everything you know."
Orcus was anxious to see that the dignity of the summoner was challenged.
"You said before that no one else could summon the Dragon Slayer, remember?"
"During my time in Celer, I asked many people to try to summon in order to collect summoning data. No matter how they changed the details, they could not summon the Dragon Slayer. There is no doubt about that. I believe you can't either."
Lu Yu nodded: "You said that the summoning experiment failed that year, causing one of your eyes to appear white, and from then on you could see the flow of magic power and the rotating black vortex of the summoning ceremony, and one day after that you suddenly visited a world full of white light..."
Orkus frowned.
"Have you ever thought that you actually took something away from that white light world..."
Orkus' mouth opened a little wider, and suddenly turned back to look at the Dragon Slayer who was holding his hands and looking indifferent.
"Do you remember the impulse we had in Blue Water City... The world we all visited is actually called the Summoner's Temple, a space that can only be visited by summoners who meet certain conditions."
Oerkus's brain was already in a mess. He covered his forehead with his hands and kept saying, "Slow down, slow down, let me sort it out..."
After a while, Orkus, who was squatting on the ground, raised his head and said, "In other words... The Dragon Slayer is not the result of my experimental summary, but the summoned creature that I will definitely summon after visiting that world... Yes, there have been many summoning fluctuations in these years, but as long as the Dragon Slayer is summoned, there will definitely be no deviation... I thought this was the result of my proper improvement."
The Dragon Slayer rolled his eyes.
Lu Yu explained the concept of the imprinted summoned creature to Orkus, and at the same time told him who gave him this gift.
The excessive information overwhelmed the summoner who had been chasing summons for twenty years, and it took him a long time to digest it.
"So, Xu Yu is your imprinted summoned creature?" Orkus asked tremblingly.
Lu Yu nodded.
"As long as there is magic to maintain it, the engraved summon will not disappear. It is completely different from ordinary summons." Lu Yu continued to nod. "My dragon slayer too?" Orcus' voice was out of tune at the end. Lu Yu smiled awkwardly but politely. Orcus covered his head. He felt that the nearly ten years since he got the dragon slayer were all wasted. "What have I done? Such a big gift, such a shocking fact, ah ah ah ah ah ~~~~" "Dragon slayer, why didn't you remind me, why didn't you remind me!" Bread saw Orcus crying and laughing, his emotions fluctuating, and couldn't help but help ask the same question. The dragon slayer just ignored Orcus, but he was very gentle to others: "First of all, I don't like nobles, so naturally I don't feel anything for him."
"My main consciousness is that of the civilian dragon-slaying hero. He lost his family because of the evil done by the dragon clan. He sought help from the nobles to no avail, so he slayed the dragon alone. However, after the incident was over, the honor of slaying the dragon was granted to him by the nobles."
"I am his engraved summon, and I will live and die with him. It is my duty to obey his will and slay the dragon, but I am not interested in talking to him..."
Orkus argued: "But I am no longer a noble. Why didn't you..." while I was away from Serel and living in Blue Water City?
Orcus suddenly became mute.
Lu Yu gestured for Orkus to continue speaking.
"Say, why don't you say anything?"
Orkus, who was nearly middle-aged and died on the spot, was red in the face.
"If you don't tell me, I'll tell you." Lu Yu announced to everyone with a smile, "Because you will send the dragon slayers away immediately after you summon them to complete the task. Even if the early dragon slayers still have some desire to communicate, they will be dismissed by you. Too lazy to talk."
"Hey, Orkus, I have a plan recently. While I am hiding at home and doing nothing, I will summarize some of the deeds and experiences of summoners and pass these things on. You said, it's like passing on... Fire, look at me raising the torch right now. I’m going to write about you and the dragon slayer as well. Go in...Hey, don't thank me, this is what I should do...Don't get excited about whatever you tell me. This is a glorious moment to leave your name in the history books. It's what you deserve for saving the Summoning Fire. In the future, summoners who live in an era with complete summoning rules will recall the past, turn the pages of the book, and see Orkus..."
"Summoners can immediately think, 'Oh, Orkus, I know, that's the one who got the rare engraved summons but was directly dispelled after each summon, and was hated by the engraved summons, and didn't even think about it. Say one more word to the great calling scholar.'"
…
…
It was almost late at night. Orkus and Lu Yu were sitting in the courtyard, drinking tea and eating refreshments. They listened to the exchanges between Xu Yu and the Dragon Slayer next door. The two of them were lying on the corridor, lazily. Look at the moon.
After calming down, Orcus tried to communicate with the Dragon Slayer, but the Dragon Slayer was not prepared to forgive Orcus for his revenge so quickly, so the two of them had to go through a third person's retelling before they could form a conversation. Naturally, he became the messenger...
It was tiring and awkward, but what else could Orkus say?
The engraved summons given by the world consciousness, can you still face him?
Accommodate it!
Ye Shui and Xiao Keluer ran over when they heard that Lu Yu was back, but when they learned that they were discussing something, they did not enter the house rashly.
Lu Yu, who was rarely quiet, took a mouthful of watermelon and spit out a few watermelon seeds: "I heard from Bread before that you summoned the dragon slayer after I left. What did you do?"
Orkus poured tea for Lu Yu: "It's nothing. Solving some of the tails left over from the last Blue Water attack and defense battle can be regarded as a chain reaction. A lot of things happened in Mostana after you left."
Selier's defeat became inevitable after the Blue Water War. Lu Yu's piano devoured 100,000 people on the southern battlefield, causing a rare flaw in the planning of Selier, which had originally had a tight defense line, and the battle was delayed until spring. At the end, Emperor Seriel Bidelis could no longer hold on and had to declare that he had achieved a "strategic" victory, and then ordered the withdrawal of troops.
This massive war that swept through most of Mostana came to an end. Selel only obtained some of the land that originally belonged to the dragons, Orcs and Goblins, and for these lands, they paid an extremely heavy price. A terrible price.
Bidelis originally wanted to use this war to divert internal conflicts and consolidate his prestige, but things went against his wishes. This war, called a "strategic victory", was meaningless in the eyes of the nobles, and the territory was far less important than the slaves. The mobilization of troops to conquer the various ethnic groups in Mostana did not bring them more benefits. On the contrary, they were very likely to be levied a high grain tax in the autumn, which made them very dissatisfied with Bidilis.
Nowadays, undercurrents are surging in the country of Seliel, and the struggle between the old and new nobles has come to the fore. The old nobles who occupy the sea routes are trying to get a share of the pie. Only the nobles in the inland territories are constantly at odds, and Bidelis can no longer balance it. These two forces are fighting each other, and for a long time in the future, Serel will no longer be able to exert influence on the surrounding tribes.
"Fortunately, he is stupid." Lu Yu sighed.
"No, he just happened to meet you." Orkus said, "If you were not here, even if he made all kinds of mistakes, with the tendency of various tribes in Mostana to be suspicious of each other and fight on their own, Serel would fight against each other. The blood flowed like a river. Your piano destroyed Serel's ambition and saved countless innocent people..."
Orkus suddenly remembered something: "Oh, do you remember those batch of instant summoners?"
"Did you summon something incredible?" Lu Yu asked subconsciously.
"What's the matter? Are they worthy?" Orkus said with disdain, "These guys who couldn't even set up the summoning template well died several times in the subsequent practice. Some committed suicide by overpaying, and some changed the summons randomly. The template caused the summoning ritual to crash and become brittle."
"Fortunately, I left Serel. If I hadn't left, I would have to take full responsibility with Bidelis's style of doing things."
In just a few months, most of Blue Water City has been built, and the convenience of magic is fully reflected here.
Although there is no time to perfect the political structure, the alliance of the Blue Water Mushroom Man, Moon Shadow Werewolf, and Iris Demon Fox, which was facilitated by Lu Yu, formed a temporary political system similar to the federal parliamentary system.
Because the Blue Water City, which became famous for the Blue Water Offensive and Defense War, naturally became the object of asylum for all the large and small tribes in the south of Mostana, and became the fourth force in Mostana besides Celer, Flower Crown Elves, and Dragon Clan.
The Dragon Clan also came to cause trouble at this time.
After the confrontation with Celer, the Dragon Clan of Mostana was deeply despised by all tribes. Before this, when mentioning the leading race in Mostana, most people would subconsciously say the Dragon Clan, followed by Celer.
However, in normal battles, the Dragon Clan did almost nothing except preserving its strength and intrigue, so that the coalition forces could not stand it in the end, pushed the Dragon Clan away and assisted the Flower Crown Elves in counterattacking Celer.
Unable to bear the fact that their status was surpassed by the newly rising Blue Water Alliance, the Dragon Clan actually sent out the Elders to demand compensation from the Blue Water Alliance in the name of destroying unity during the war.
"After their envoys arrived in Blue Water City, they were arrogant and provocative everywhere. Because the war had just stopped, the Blue Water Alliance, considering the overall situation, did not turn against them, but they became even more aggressive... and damaged the bread that went out to play."
Orkus said: "So I left two holes in the wings of their elders."
The shocking operation was said in a calm tone.
"Now everyone knows that you are in Blue Water, is this good?" Lu Yu asked.
"Before, my daughter was bullied, she came back crying, saying how bad someone's kid was, pulling her braids, smearing mud on her face, calling her a fatherless child..." Orcus said with his head down, "At that time, I was obsessed with summoning, so I comforted her and focused on my own business... I should have taken her to the door."
"In a person's life, some things can only be wrong once." Orcus said with a smile, "I don't regret it. Besides, does Celer really have time to think about how to deal with a traitor like me? If Bidilis wants to set his sights here, at least he should settle the domestic conflicts first."
The sound of blood swords and spears intersecting was endless, and Bread kept clapping and screaming.
The competition between the Dragon Slayer and Xu Yu seemed to be continuing.
"You returned to Mostana so soon. Did you encounter any difficulties?" Orcus asked.
"No, I just found a place to stay, so I have some new plans... By the way, how are my mushrooms doing now?"
"I'm not sure about that. They were taken away by the night water in the spring, and I haven't seen any trace of the group of small mushrooms since then."
