206. Broken Rules(1/2)
"Why are you hanging around Lulu?"
"Tang?" Sera glanced at Lu Yu coldly. It was obvious that she was not satisfied with Lu Yu's wording.
Lu Yu had no choice but to correct him: "Okay, why do you want to know more about Lulu?"
This time Lu Yu was sure that his choice of words was careful and tactful enough.
Sera was very satisfied with Lu Yu's success, but she stood up, stretched, and then said with a smile: "Guess."
"I found it, I found it!"
Holding a book, Orkus rushed out of the house in ecstasy and ran towards Lu Yu in a hurry.
"I found it, it's this one!"
Orkus had said before that he remembered a book that contained content about the world of white light, and the content was quite unusual.
However, Orkus collected so many books that he couldn't remember which one it was, so he and Lu Yu have been rummaging through it carefully these past few days.
Sera consciously made room for Orkus, and patted the stupid dragon, telling him not to disturb the two people.
Orkus had forgotten himself. He showed the book to Lu Yu and slowly opened the slightly yellowed pages.
The title of the book is "Basic Theories and Myths of Summoning". It is a book that contains the theoretical basis of summoning and records the current status of some surrounding summoning techniques.
The person who wrote this book is named Kroc, and he is a fifth-level magician.
This book is quite boring. In fact, just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is a difficult and boring book. But Orkus quickly flipped through the basic theoretical chapters and came to the second half of the book.
Landed in one of them.
Lu Yu followed Orkus's instructions and read the contents above softly.
"Becky Ilona, a member of Collet, once described a strange thing that happened after the summoning. He claimed that he went to a strange white light space, where there seemed to be only a soft white light, and he could not find it no matter what.
The border seems endless and empty."
Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took the book and read it carefully.
"In this unusually empty world, Becky Ilona bumped into another person whose clothes were completely different from those in the area where she was. After the two faced each other on guard for a long time, Becky took the lead and asked about the other person's identity.
identity."
"But it was obvious that the two parties did not use the same language, so the two basically did not communicate effectively in the early stage, but both of them basically confirmed that the other party was not hostile."
"Becky claimed that in the early stage of waking up, he saw a huge black vortex appearing out of thin air in front of him, blocking his vision, and slowly sucking himself into it. When he regained consciousness, he found that he was lying on the
In my bed, everything seemed like a dream."
Kroc wrote down his speculation on this strange rumor in the book. He believed that Becky should have been overworked in summoning, which resulted in strange dreams. He regarded this matter as a "tragic story" about the stagnation of the development of summoning.
I came here to record it, but I don’t think any of those rumors are true or credible.
But Lu Yu and Orkus knew clearly that what Becky said was true. He had been to the white light world, but he didn't seem to have figured out anything there.
Both Lu Yu and Orkus have seen the black whirlpool. Anyone who has been to the white light world will definitely see this vortex emerging above their summoned object as long as they summon it, like a huge eye watching them, and like a huge eye watching them.
It's a mouth that secretly absorbs the magic power released when they summon.
There was one thing in this record that Orcus could not forget after reading it.
Lu Yu also captured that unusual description.
"This summoner named Becky has seen other people in the white light world?" Lu Yu couldn't believe it. "Orkus, have you seen it when you entered? Let me start by saying that every time I went in, I never saw anyone else."
I haven’t seen any outsiders, I’m the only one roaming around inside.”
Lu Yu has always believed that this world is private, and everyone enters it individually.
Orkus shook his head and said with regret: "Unlike you, I have been there several times. I only remember that I have been to that world once. My eyes were also disabled in that accident.
And gain the ability to see whirlpools."
"The records of most people who went to the white light world are like dreams, and the descriptions basically mentioned that there was no one there, but there is only this one..." Orkus patted the book in Lu Yu's hand, "According to Beiji's description, he
The place he arrived was where we had been, but unlike us, he saw someone else there."
Lu Yu fell into deep thought.
According to Orcus's description, although the descriptions left by those who have entered the white light world are few, they are all well-known summoners in the region, so they have left some guesses about this world.
Orcus said with great approval.
People who can go to the white light world must have obtained certain qualifications. What this qualification means is unknown for the time being, but Orkus has believed for a long time that this is a "close" summoning truth.
quota.
Only those who have reached the world of white light can know the source of the fragmented summons.
Lu Yu had no objection to his qualifications. He was pulled there several times and tried to use various "word spirits" inside. He determined that it was not a world where nothing could be responded to and only white light existed. His secret needed to be directed towards
Explore directly above, not on the ground.
But if Becky's description is true, then it proves that the world of white light is not a private area, but a public area where you can meet other people.
According to qualifications, those who can come here must be summoners...
Lu Yu quickly asked Orcus when the book was written.
Orkus turned the title page.
"Fifty-seventh year of the Kolai calendar, Falling Star Moon."
Lu Yu was embarrassed: "This... book was written about how many years ago?"
There was a squeak from Sera who had been listening to the side.
"It was about eight hundred years ago. It's a shame that you can find books from eight hundred years ago and they are still so well preserved."
Orkus accepted Serra's praise: "It's just a matter of summoning the qualities of a scholar."
"Eight hundred years..." Lu Yu touched his chin.
Could it be that there was a time when the white light world was not actually independent?
Or maybe it's not independent now, but no one can enter it?
Sera wanted to say something, but when she saw Orcus beside her, she did not speak.
After Orkus said that he would help Lu Yu copy the summoning manual and leave, Sera said slowly: "I don't have much time, and Colai's affairs cannot be delayed, so do what you want to do now.
"
"Wait until Orkus copies the summoning manual to me, and then we can set off." Lu Yu also calculated the time. He probably still had one day to say goodbye to everyone in Blue Water City.
Sera nodded and looked at Orkus sitting at his desk in the study in the distance. She said thoughtfully: "Actually, I have a little understanding of summoning."
Lu Yu didn't expect Sera to know how to summon, so he raised his head curiously.
"You must have heard about the Infested Spirit incident from Lulu, right?"
"I've heard of it."
"Then do you know that in the Infested Spirit incident, the summoner paid for magic power, but nothing was summoned?"
"I've heard of it too."
Sera nodded: "That's easy to handle. I saw such a record when I was flipping through miscellaneous books in the Theocracy's library. A summoner once said... Maybe the summoning has never been perfected, but the earlier people didn't.
It has been explored to its extreme, so its imperfections have never been discovered.”
Sera patted Lu Yu's shoulder: "Everything in the world has basic rules. The use of magic can be explored and developed."
"The major schools divided according to magic power, such as elemental mages, the rules of elements can be mastered and used, so the major elemental magic has always occupied the mainstream."
"Whether the rules can be explored and whether they are complete is the key to the rise and fall of a genre. If a genre itself is a dead end, then what you will explore will only be cliffs."
"You guys discussed it so much, and I had an idea in my mind that I wanted to give to you."
Sera paused: "If that world really existed, and its functions eight hundred years ago were more complete than now, but now it is completely decadent, is it possible that its rules have been broken?"
Lu Yu's eyes widened, and it took him a while before he understood the meaning of Sera's words.
No one knows where the magic power comes from, but this does not prevent them from exploring the rules of magic power and utilizing its power, because the magic power system is complete, complete, and logical.
As long as you comply with the "reason" of magic, everyone can enjoy the convenience it brings.
But summoning is different. From the time Lu Yu came into contact with it to the present, the characteristics of summoning can be summarized as "chaos", "inexplicable", and "no rules to follow". Even if you follow its rules, it still looks like a wild beast.
Reasonable children will torment your fragile nerves from time to time.
Here, a second-level magician like Lu Yu can take advantage of the loopholes to summon super-standard summons, but at the same time, he will also be wrong when summoning ordinary summons.
The cost of summoning fluctuates greatly, and the mechanism is extremely unreasonable. There may even be a weird situation where you pay the price, but the summoned object is not given to you.
All of this is true, as Sera said, the rules of summoning are broken and on the verge of becoming ineffective.
Pharmacists can accumulate a potion that best meets the expected effect through countless experiments.
A magician can practice magic to perfection without making mistakes through a lot of practice.
The puppeteer can rely on the screening of materials to obtain a large number of puppets with different effects, gradually approaching the ultimate goal of "making yourself".
What about the Summoner?
