The strong dizziness made Lulu fall to her knees. Ever since she woke up at the beach, her physical discomfort hit her like a wave. The increasingly severe nausea made it almost impossible for her to move forward in the heavy rain.
The rain that splashed on her body quickly evaporated, and the dense mist was swept by the wind toward the dark sky.
Feeling that her movements to maintain body temperature were a bit too much, Lulu only left a small fire ring to control the temperature. Touching the statue with her hand made her hesitate for a while, and then started calling Sera and Lu Yu again. The message was sent smoothly, but she didn't know Why, but never got a response.
The distance is similar, so the delay in message transmission from the statue should not be so high.
Amidst the roaring rain, the shadow of the thick castle came into Lulu's eyes. On the solid wall that was impervious to the weather, warm light spread through the wind and rain into the distance, like a lighthouse calling lost sailors to return home.
Lulu suppressed her magic power to the greatest extent and hid under the towering castle to recover.
Although there was no unusually obvious and powerful source of magic power in the castle, Lulu did not dare to take it lightly for a talented potion master who had begun to lay out the Weeping Island ten years ago. Every encounter here required a hundredfold effort.
In such weather, no one wants to stay outdoors, even on the porch. The violent raindrops are beating against the wall like crazy, and the water is pouring down like a waterfall. Lulu vaguely hears the sound of wind and rain mixed with a slight sound. The human voice seems to be complaining about this weird and bad celestial phenomenon?
Following the sound, it was seen that it was a servant wearing a waiter's uniform. He seemed to be sent to do something. He hesitated reluctantly in the corridor for a while, and then crashed into the thick water curtain and walked toward the distance in embarrassment. Ran away.
Lulu tiptoed through the shadows and quickly walked through the corridor on the first floor. The castle was astonishingly large, and there were so many doors that she had no choice. She was like a moth chasing the light, peeking into the lighted door.
The red carpet on the ground was wet, and the dirty footprints extended far away. There was no one in the spacious passage. She used her magic sense to carefully explore it. After discovering the heavy steps similar to those of patrolling guards, Lulu's face changed. Hi, take advantage of the situation and sneak in.
The three armored guards were as silent as machines. If she could not feel the aura of living beings and the rhythm of life, Lulu would suspect that they were dolls, because in every gesture, the three of them seemed to be one body. Only training could help them. Only ordinary ceremonial guards can achieve such a synchronization rate, but as far as Lulu knows, Sobbing Island has belonged to Gaslow since ten years ago, and it obviously does not need these rigid requirements of aristocratic etiquette.
In view of the fact that the outside world has not known much about Whining Island in recent years, Lulu can only think that there are dignitaries on the island who have in-depth cooperation with Gaslow. After all, Gaslow’s medicines are also circulating in Durderan, and privately There will never be a shortage of contacts and trade.
Thinking of this, Lulu became more and more interested in the identity of the dignitaries living in this majestic castle. In recent years, the channels for supplying materials on Sob Island must have been opened up by these people. This group of supporters must have mastered the deeper knowledge of Gaslow. secret.
A person who looked like a maid passed by three guards, as if she disliked them extremely. She deliberately moved more distance when they met and walked close to the edge.
Lulu, who was already floating on the ceiling, landed silently. She chased her around the corner, and suddenly she frowned, and the three honor guards disappeared.
This is a straight corridor. Except for the two perceptible forks, there are only large rooms that are likely to be used as warehouses. The doors of the rooms are closed tightly and there is no sign of being opened. The sense of magic power extended, but there was still no trace, and the unusually obvious sound of walking and kicking suddenly disappeared in the sound of violent wind and rain.
"Twilight City?"
Memories of that year came to mind. Twilight City had countless mechanisms, and the huge system connected by magic circles made the entire city-state seem to have life. Maybe they triggered a certain magic circle mechanism to move to another layer?
"Crack, snap, snap."
"Crack, snap, snap!"
The wind became stronger and the rain became stronger. The rushing water on the window was scattered by a huge force. Like a ferocious beast hitting the window, the wind caused cracks in the glass. With a muffled sound, the wind and rain rushed into the corridor like a dike, and the glass Debris shot out like bullets.
The huge noise startled Lulu, and she moved quickly to prevent being discovered by those who came to check the situation.
What Lulu didn't know was that shortly after she left, the scattered glass fragments gathered together in the video rewind, and the damaged windows were restored bit by bit in slow motion.
…
…
The flesh-and-blood chariot destroyed two statues of Lu Yu, and it no longer had the desire to eat, spraying untransformed black mud outwards with its tentacles.
"leave here!"
Lu Yu no longer had the idea of fighting for a long time. The more he fought with the black mud version, the more the blurred facial features became more refined. After crushing the black mud for the third time, the damaged ceiling seemed to have been dug through. From the oil well, sticky black mud spurted out, accumulating and condensing into the shape of a flesh and blood chariot.
Number 2 has become the best choice for summoning, but for some reason, looking at these black mud products, Lu Yu's inner uneasiness rapidly expanded, and the decision to summon also changed to a temporary retreat.
Where do they come from, and what are they? Without using magic power, it can exert a power equal to magic power, which is beyond the knowledge and experience Lu Yu has accumulated over the years.
The gate was smashed into powder by cars, and the isolated raindrops roared and beat on these black mud creatures. On the empty road, Lu Yu looked back. Behind him, in the darkness isolated by the rain curtain, a group of inhuman things with twisted postures seemed to Already rising into the air, going against the wind, and galloping far away, unable to see the weird inhuman thing anymore, Lu Yu slapped the steering wheel to stop the flesh and blood chariot.
The flesh and blood chariot did not stop, and the two tentacles acting as wipers swung rapidly, but in front of the heavy rain, this move seemed insignificant. Lu Yu could not see clearly in front of him, and could only feel the sound coming from the flesh and blood chariot... "Be careful! "
The violent impact caused Lu Yu's head to hit the steering wheel. Severe pain was already felt in his chest. At the critical moment, the flesh and blood chariot acted as an airbag, and the fleshy membrane like morning glory flew rapidly from Lu Yu's head. He fell down, and before the impact, he used the soft flesh as a buffer to save Lu Yu's head.
Lu Yu once complained that the smelly, sticky slurry of this thing was disgusting, but after he calmed down, he would no longer complain about this. He was very grateful for the rigor that was followed to the end when he first portrayed the flesh and blood chariot.
The bumps continued, and the collision of the white wheels rolling over foreign objects made the chariot sway for a while. The flesh and blood chariot could not describe what it hit. It held the steering wheel with both hands and let the tentacles act as seat belts to lock itself in the seat. Lu Yu lifted the safety "meat bag".
A pair of dull pupils stared straight at Lu Yu. He was lying on the windshield, scratching his hands constantly, leaving clearly visible scratches on the fender made of a thin film of flesh and blood; he was still facing Lu Yu Smiling, but all Lu Yu felt was eerie and terrifying. His smile hit the uncanny valley effect deep in Lu Yu's heart; he was like a scorpion, the back half of his body stretched very long, and after bending, he was deeply engulfed. The roof of the flesh and blood chariot has a creepy Ω shape.
The vibrations of the tentacles flapping together reached Lu Yu's ears. He twisted his neck stiffly. Outside the side window, next to the high-speed flesh and blood chariot, there was a dense crowd surrounding a group of people who had been blown away by the wind and lost their original posture. They turned into a group of people. There are "noodles" floating around, and only the head is the same as the black mud.
When Lu Yu looked at them, they all stared at the one-way car window in unison.
The same smile, the same movements, synchronized with him.
Silent fear overflowed every corner of Lu Yu's heart. He had never witnessed such a scene that chilled him. Screams had already filled his throat, but his strong reason contained them in his throat. His stomach was violently rumbling. It made his throat sore, and Lu Yu couldn't help but burped.
"brake!"
The moment he was dominated by fear, Lu Yu once again felt the weakness he felt when he first came to this world.
Unable to protect himself, and unable to protect Lulu, he could only let her take risks under Blue Water City, and was forced to overdraw himself and fall into a deep sleep.
Although he kept talking about eating and waiting to die, he could never forget the helpless and dazed feeling he had while holding the unconscious briquettes in his hands... Lu Yu hated this feeling, as if he had never left that remote continent for a long time. forest.
"Number two!"
The summoning ritual responds, the vortex emerges, and communication is established.
Everything went as usual, but No. 2 didn't show up.
Lu Yu was shocked to find that the summoning ritual suddenly stopped responding at the moment it was about to be completed, and the threads of connection between them were cut in half.
Not only after calling for change, but since the official arrival of Number Two, the record of never failing has come to an abrupt end.
The slender "Lu Yu" who was thrown away by the sudden brake came through the rain curtain with his deformed body dangling. Under the illumination of the flesh and blood chariot's high beam, he seemed to be an individual embedded in a painting called "The Storm". Squirming and deforming.
The drill bit of the flesh and blood chariot rotated at high speed, and the pouring rain was thrown out like bullets. The dense tentacles condensed into a shield to protect Lu Yu. The sarcoma expanded rapidly and was ready to go. It felt something strange, and now it would be the only master. of servants.
Looking at the strange faces that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Lu Yu said in a deep voice: "In that case..."
"I issue an order in the name of the summoning pioneer. Non-staff members who cannot have names, numbers, and albums should respond to the Lord's call and come!"
The summoning ritual was reversed, the dark vortex moved counterclockwise, and a completely different way of magic power appeared in Lu Yu's body.
Just like an emperor issuing an edict to his ministers, the majestic words made the silent existence on the other side of the summoning manual tremble.
"Whether it's interference or a one-in-10,000 chance of failure... I hate your expressions, you make me feel sick."
The flesh-and-blood chariot that was ready for battle waved its tentacles faster than an electric fan. Just as he was about to give it a try and the summoning ceremony was about to welcome the responders, "Lu Yu" stepped back one after another, their twisted and terrifying The body is made of ink, which silently disintegrates with the wind and rain.
Just like before, Lu Yu couldn't sense with magic power and could only see visually. This time, he still couldn't sense any fluctuations... It was like he had been fighting with shadows.
"host……"
Lu Yu has an unimaginable level of control over the summoning ritual. The summoned object that responded was restrained by him in all its auras at the moment it was about to arrive, and was sealed in the ritual.
Lu Yu could see its scarlet eyes in the whirlpool of the ceremony. He raised his head and commanded condescendingly: "Go back."
"Lord..." the summoned object shouted resentfully.
"I said, go back!" Lu Yu stopped the summoning ceremony, his tone unquestionable, and the loud shout ordered the summoned object in the whirlpool of the ceremony, which was just one step away from meeting Lu Yu, to be submerged into the whirlpool.
That "Lord" sound was particularly aggrieved.
"You will have a chance to show yourself, but not now." Lu Yu soothed and returned to the flesh and blood chariot.
He stared at his hands, lost in thought.
Does a magic circle that can interrupt the steps of the summoning ritual really exist?
Lu Yu did not believe that his summoning was a mistake. As a pioneer, he could not make such a stupid mistake.
The communication statue was activated again. He tried to observe the distorted trajectory of the magic power to find traces of the operation of the magic circle, but he was caught off guard and the information was transmitted unimpeded.
Lu Yu was stunned for a few seconds. When he thought that even this would lead to nothing, the red light of the statue made his heart beat fast.
"Lu Yu? Why is there only a sound of rain? Where are you?"
Sera's familiar voice made Lu Yu breathe a long sigh of relief, and he quickly replied: "I don't know where I am. I just encountered a bunch of strange...I can only call it black mud, and it became mine." It looks like it has no magic aura... it's very weird anyway, so you have to be careful... wait, where are you?"
After a while, Sera responded: "In a castle, it is connected in all directions, and there are guards patrolling it. It seems to be the residence of a dignitary. I saw a lot of potion masters busy here. I'm afraid there are many potions deep in the castle. There is a potion workshop...I don't know the specific location. I will send a magic messenger out in a hidden way. If you can sense it, follow it. If not...just wait for the weather to clear. talk later."
Lu Yu stared at the lightless sky, listening to the sound of wind and rain that was still raging. He didn't know where to go for a while. He didn't intend to look for a place to hide and hide. The manor that was full of gloom and gloom gave him It brought a lot of psychological pressure.
The fierce battle made him a little tired. Under the protection of the flesh and blood chariot, Lu Yu fell asleep on the steering wheel.
After an unknown amount of time passed, the tentacles of the flesh and blood chariot shook vigorously. As soon as the sleepy Lu Yu raised his head, a little rabbit messenger with wings was suddenly in front of him.
"Sela is nearby?"
Lu Yu was delighted but suddenly frowned. After suffering a loss, he tried to summon the Gundam again.
No response...but, that's also a good thing.
