The reason Orkus said "once" was because after the earth-shaking changes in summoning, all summons based on normal summoning channels lost their effect.
During the period when summoning was at its most declining, the few functioning heroic spirit summons were once the favorites of many "remnants of summoners". Now that this last gift has been taken away, many people mourned "Blue Water". Hero" and the summoners who gathered in Mostana were wailing.
The new changes in summoning are a huge opportunity for Lu Yu and Orkus. They can't wait to expand their knowledge boundaries every minute and dig out new summoning knowledge for their own use. However, these people hold Lu Yu every day. Most of the summoners who carve statues for sacrifices and religious worship are elderly, and most of them have great resistance to learning.
Orkus had seen many times in Blue Water City that they resented the ruthlessness of the gods who did not know where they existed, taking away their only power, leaving them like naked babies lingering in this troubled world.
Lu Yu had mixed feelings in his heart. He could deeply understand the fear of these summoners. Their age had left them with no room for learning. The world was changing too fast and would not stop for them. Their curses were of no help. The sun will rise and set tomorrow, everything is as usual.
"I have been exploring the template for summoning heroic spirits for a long time, but I still haven't found anything. This makes me have to wonder whether the dragon slayer is special. The heroic spirit template has become a thing of the past. The existence of the spiritual master has replaced this item that was not special in the first place. A useful summoning technique."
Orkus showed Lu Yu the key to casting the spirit master: "You can also try it with the Dawn Leader. The specific kind of heroic spirits you can communicate with seems to be a science. So far, no one can guarantee the accuracy 100%. A specific heroic spirit.”
Lu Yu, who returned to reality, looked at the "spiritual magic" and fell into deep thought. The emergence of this magic makes death no longer seem to be the end for some individuals? Or, like past summons, the descending spirit is actually just a projection?
Sigrid was particularly interested in this. After understanding the cause and effect, she asked for this magic to go away. Lu Yu did not stop him. The exploration and mining of the summoning template had left him no more redundancy to learn, even if he had a premonition. Séances would have great success in the future, but his path was already doomed.
The pioneers are destined to overcome obstacles and open up a comfortable path for those who come after them. They accepted her gift and naturally had to shoulder this responsibility.
If there is any advantage to being a briquette, it must be that you can become a complete lazy person.
Summoning Xiao An to be his mattress, he rolled around on her soft skin, feeling the gentle touch as if floating in the clouds.
When he was thirsty and hungry, he would call out the manta ray and Xiaoguang to help him get food and feed it into the body of the black mist. Lu Yu didn't even need to stretch out his tentacles. This kind of life made him unable to bear it for a moment.
"Have you noticed that you are very..."
"Very useless?"
"It turns out you are self-aware... You rely on Xiao An to eat and sleep. You direct her to move wherever you want. You are in complete paralysis mode... Do you really hate this body? I feel like you like it very much." Xu complained mercilessly for a moment. ….
"Only now do I understand how great it is for those of you who can fly and float at will. This potion has perfectly hit all the strike zones in my heart. If there is nothing to worry about in the Dawn Territory, I think I can stay so lazy for the rest of my life. Get down!"
Such a useless declaration shocked me deeply for a moment: "Assuming everything is peaceful, there is no magic wave, no existential crisis, and no pioneer responsibility, your goal is to eat and wait to die?"
"Yes!" Lu Yu replied immediately, confidently, "Please, it would be great to eat and wait until death."
"Thank you for giving you a sense of responsibility, and thank you for the magic wave that whipped you." Xu, who was still ambitious, patted his chest for a moment.
After a moment of such fuss, Lu Yu was curious, what was Sera, who had also turned into a briquette, doing at this time?
Maybe it was because everyone had a showdown, or maybe the relationship had been greatly eased after the invasion of the Kraken. After realizing that Lu Yu was behind the trick, Sera did not ask with hostility, "What can I do if you have nothing to do with me?", but very skillfully use tentacles
opened the door.
The decoration has not changed much from the last time she came here, except that this time Sera placed Lu Lu’s doll in the open, and she didn’t even shy away from Lu Yu!
Lu Yu looked at the Lu Lu puppet on the chair, and then at Sera: "Is this how you filter information?"
Sera calmly fell on the palm of the Lulu doll, stretched out its tentacles like an octopus, and occupied the entire palm: "It feels so good to monopolize Lulu after becoming smaller, you don't understand."
"By the way, why did you suddenly come here to see me?"
"No, I'm just curious whether you'll get used to it after turning into a briquette. As far as I know, Lulu's potion experiments have failed several times recently. I think it's better for you to be prepared to maintain the status quo for a while."
Sera spread out her tentacles: "If it really doesn't work, I'll just confess like this. Although it's a little strange, there is no doubt that the body is still Lu Lu."
"I think so too. The main reason is that after my confession is successful, Lu Lu can naturally live with me. Does it feel good to wrap Lu Lu's tentacles around her body or to be wrapped by Lu Lu's tentacles?"
The tentacles of the two balls of briquettes became entangled almost instantly. In the mist, the two black glutinous rice balls were grunting on the table.
In view of everyone's high physical strength, this fight was destined to be fruitless. After three chapters of agreement, the two people with their tentacles tied up each retracted their tentacles, tacitly shelving the plot just mentioned for the time being.
"Put the stuff in your head aside for now and look at this." Sera snorted angrily a few times, shaking the scroll with the tentacles, making a sound of breaking wind, and then slapped Lu Yu on the face. , "Oh, sorry, I didn't control my strength well."
Lu Yu was not annoyed either. Winners should be tolerant to losers. He laid out the scroll, floated it some distance away, and then finished browsing the information.
"So efficient?" This was his first reaction after reading it.
As expected, the school did not give up. The action to test how far Tanya could persist in supporting the magic awakeners had begun. It no longer threatened to create a few corpses in a threatening manner, but actually sent out assassins.
Tanya was having a barbecue with her cronies at a summer night hunting celebration. The guards on the outside were removed one by one at some unknown time. They were not discovered by the accompanying high-level magician until they were less than a hundred steps away from Tanya. ….
Even so, they still used poisonous mist and homemade hidden weapons to almost hit Tanya herself.
Afterwards, only two assassins were captured, and without exception they died by poisoning themselves. No effective clues could be traced.
The second assassination was to sneak into Tanya's mansion using a disguise that changed her appearance, and poisoned Tanya's regular meals.
Coincidentally, Tanya had to put this meal on hold because she had to attend a banquet held later that day. After that, the mages in the mansion noticed traces of the evaporation of the medicine, and then realized that Tanya had once again A brush with danger.
Two attacks, two saves from danger, this undoubtedly greatly strengthened Tanya's "Chosen" status in the hearts of magic awakeners and even the people of the territory.
Milai faithfully recorded the two assassinations, but she was confused whether such clumsy means were the work of the school.
"Mi Lai is doubting that Tanya directed and acted on her own." Lu Yu said.
"The average person would indeed suspect that living in an era when academic schools monopolized academics, they would think that the people standing at the top of the tower are amazingly talented, and that it is natural for people with high intelligence to do so. However, they have ignored that the reason why some people stand at the top of the tower is It’s just because of his good reincarnation, not how good he is.”
The monopoly of knowledge by a school is essentially a status monopoly. The heirs of a strong school will never fall with the help of knowledge. This is even a more stable power inheritance system than ordinary dynasties.
Serra's views are contrary to Millai's. This is the work of the school, but they chose to outsource in order to avoid criticism from others.
"Soon they will realize that assassinating Tania is not a commission that ordinary assassins can handle. They are actually escorted by high-level magicians. If the assassination fails, Tania will become more cautious. The school can only improve its response Level, give up taking chances little by little
The truth will finally come to an end personally... At that time, it will be the beginning of dragging the school from its peak and causing it to slowly decline. "
Unlike most people's views, Lu Yu and Sera are far from optimistic about shaking the foundation of the school. It is too large and too long-standing. It can almost be said that it has been rooted in the entire Mela, and even the Pan-Meira continent.
The huge inertia of the entire society makes it still accepted by most people even if it is full of cracks and decayed... Even if it is so unreasonable, the recognition that it is reasonable has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years.
Weakening its rationality bit by bit, dismantling its influence, and injecting some fresh blood into this dead cycle, this is what Lu Yu and Sera are trying to do through Tanya raising the flag.
And they are also carefully hiding themselves and wiping away the traces of themselves hiding behind Tanya. Even if a caring person can think of their existence, they cannot lead everything directly to the Dawn Territory.
They followed Laurender's advice: never expose yourself directly to the tower, and never mistakenly believe that your only enemy is the tower.
For this world, the sober people are the fools.
…
…
Mosquitoes danced wildly, and these stink-seeking things were like bees smelling nectar, making noisy sounds one after another, falling like dark clouds, clinging to the carrion bodies that gradually stopped moving, and the pieces of flesh turned out. Released one after another of unpleasant stench, the body's organs were dragged on the ground during the journey, trampled into pieces by pairs of already worn feet, and blended into the earth. ….
The pungent smell keeps away animals, monsters, and even scavengers along the way.
The magicians dressed in black embroidered skulls on their clothes and tattooed phosphorus fire on the skulls.
[Black Corpse Society], this is the tentative name they decided for their organization.
"You should expand the scope of your activities. You should not just wander around the molten mountains. The ground temperature here is high, the fire attribute magic is active, and a large number of fire element life forms are active, which accelerates the decay of corpses. These toys have not been used more. Opportunities become nourishment for the earth mother and food for mosquitoes and flies..."
The man in the purple mage robe had a very young voice. He said in a rather regretful tone: "Look at the wriggling maggots on their bodies. They are white and fat. They are even far more exciting than the corpses you control. The black corpses are not as good as white ones." Corpse meeting?"
"Who are you here for?"
The Black Corpse Society remained silent and allowed the purple-robed mage reviewer to realize the new power he felt by following the magic wave, and raised his question at a suitable node.
"You know, why bother asking again?" The purple-robed young mage raised his head arrogantly.
"There are many schools of thought, some big and some small."
"It doesn't matter. This time we are dealing with a common enemy. There is more than one organization behind me."
The black corpse will ask: "What do you want?"
"It's very simple. Expand the area of activity into the actual control area of the Green Shade Territory. There is more food there and an environment more suitable for cultivating an army. Your magic experiments require fresh individuals, don't they?"
The members of the Black Corpse Society gathered together. They discussed quietly for a long time and asked, "What can we get?"
"The school will not condemn or interfere with what happens in the Green Shade Territory."
"This is what you should guarantee. You should know that Tanya has raised a group of loyal guards. They are far more powerful than our corpses."
"Then what do you want?"
The leader of the Black Corpse Society sneered: "Can you make the decision?"
"I carry a communication circle with me, and they are listening." The school's envoy said proudly, "You are not the only ones invited by us. There are many people who are willing to make profits from it. The school's appeal has never disappointed anyone."
"Not all of us are willing to take risks, so in order to have sufficient combat power, we need a place where we can raise corpses and increase our strength. It should have a large population and enough counter samples, and it is best not in the green territory. within, to avoid disturbing the public."
"It seems that you have already chosen a suitable place. Where?"
The Black Corpse Society said in a deep voice: "Beyond the scope of the four major countries, there is an independent city-state [Broken Gold City] and as many as ten small cities around it. We will not be directly sanctioned by the four major countries here... Our commitment to the school cannot be I fully believe that only in this way can safety be guaranteed."
The special envoy of the school sent the message, and about half a day later, he got the results of the conspiracy of the major schools.
"The current Pope Antonio is a ruler who faithfully implements the Laurentian faith, so we will find ways to delay the Theocracy. Before that, do what you should do, leave the area where the Theocracy is ready to move, and destroy The foundation of the Green Shade Collar.”
"By the way, in the Red Flame Mountains not far from Broken Gold City, the Dawn Territory may be a threat to you. They just defeated the Kraken... You'd better not let them feel threatened, otherwise..."
The Black Corpse Society said in a cold voice: "The sea monsters are nothing to be afraid of. The same goes for them. The Dawn Leader is just an idiot hiding in a turtle shell and surviving. They will not interfere with anything that happens in Broken Gold City."
