High-level officials of the Southern Front who arrived at Hamen Latu were interviewed individually by Bidelis.
Regarding the fiasco of Blue Water City, Beidilis and the major nobles who were sitting firmly in the rear have not yet recovered. Even though waves of messengers conveyed the information on the battlefield, the final content of the monsters' annihilation of the army was too real.
It was so bizarre that they couldn't imagine the specific picture.
Orkus was the first person to be questioned, because he was the scholar with the deepest research on summoning in all of Selel, and only he could intuitively explain the root cause of the great defeat.
When Orcus entered the temporary palace of Bidelis, he saw at a glance the nobles in purple robes lined up on both sides. Some of them looked solemn, some had cold faces, and some of them met Orcus's eyes at the moment.
It exudes a cold feeling and is full of hostility.
Today, Bidilis wore a lake blue lining and a fox fur as red as flames, showing off his casual clothes. This was in sharp contrast to the nobles who were uniformly dressed for business.
Biedilis put his hand on a charcoal pot to warm the fire. He caught a glimpse of Orcus coming in, with no emotion on his face. He just waved his hand and asked the attendant to draw a chair for Orcus and let him sit down.
Orkus did not sit down, which made Bedelis frown slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, in order to answer your questions effectively later, I'd better stand."
Bidilis waved his hand with a smile, signaling all the guards to step back, which also heralded the official start of the questioning.
Bidilis sat on the chair covered with a pile blanket and asked the question that mattered most to everyone.
"The monster that swallowed Serel's 120,000-strong army was really just a summoned object?"
"yes."
As Orkus's voice fell, the nobles around him were discussing something, and finally a black-haired middle-aged man stood up.
"How can you tell that it's not a monster created by some evil magic?"
Orcus knew where the nobles and emperor were suspicious.
The summoning genre is too weak. Lu Yu's summons is really the only one in more than a thousand years that can single-handedly turn the tide of the war. Before that, summons could only play a role in small-scale battles. More
Sometimes he acts as the Summoner's bodyguard.
There was no history for them to refer to, so they couldn't believe it from behind.
Orkus looked directly at the nobleman, and rarely answered his question in a sarcastic tone.
"Because I am a summoning scholar and know summoning better than everyone here. If you don't believe my judgment, there is no need to continue this topic."
Orkus, who had always been extremely unsociable and silent, was acting extremely tough at this moment. He didn't care even if Bedelis was among the people present.
Others can ridicule him for being unsociable and withdrawn, and ridicule him for being addicted to calling and driving away his daughter and wife, but they cannot question his professionalism.
This is a calling to the dignity of the scholar.
Bidilis knocked on the armrest of the chair, suppressing the nobles who were standing up because they were offended, and then asked: "The opponent's summoner is a human being, and he is also the commander of Blue Water in this battle. This news is reliable.
?"
Orkus hesitated for a moment and answered.
"Based on the prisoners captured during the march and the series of operations performed by the opponent at the tactical level, it should be."
A nobleman sneered: "At the tactical level, do you mean that the opponent uses feces to control the enemy? What a dirty and ugly method."
Orcus didn't bother to reply and allowed them to criticize.
Bidelis played with the fluff on his fox fur and asked casually: "Have you seen the other party's summoner?"
Orkus replied calmly: "No."
Bidilis stared at Orkus's eyes for a long time, and then slowly looked away with a look full of distrust.
There are many nobles who are very observant. He asked a question in a timely manner: "You are also a summoner, you should be able to summon such a summoned object, right?"
This question ignited the discussion among the nobles present.
If such a monster can be used by our own side, then the conquest of Mostana is only a matter of time.
Orkus interrupted the thoughts of this group of people very simply. He knew that these nobles were just helping Bedilis ask what they were thinking, so he faced the emperor and answered.
"Sorry, I can't summon you now."
"Why, you are all summoners, aren't you? Could it be that the other party is stronger than you and is a seventh-level summoner?"
So Orkus hated discussing with people who didn't understand summons at all, and he had to teach these people to answer questions, which really made him irritated.
"I can't answer this question."
"Aren't you summoning scholars? This question is difficult to answer?"
Orkus held his forehead. His blood pressure had begun to rise. He thought carefully for a while before he figured out how to explain this problem to this group of people who had never understood summons.
With the palm of his hand upward, a wisp of flame beat in the palm of Orkus.
"Please answer me a question, how is this flame generated?"
Some nobles curled their lips disdainfully: "It's just simple magic."
"That's a good answer, so please continue to answer the next question, where does magic come from?"
The nobles were still able to answer easily: "It is described in the basic magic theory that magic is consumed in a specific way, which ultimately produces special power."
"Very good, continue to answer, where does the magic come from."
Orcus's three consecutive questions made the nobles look unhappy, but seeing that Bedelis didn't say anything, they had to continue to answer.
"The dragon theory once described the birth of magic, which suddenly began to appear between heaven and earth, infiltrating all things, and gradually forming a magic system."
"But you still haven't been able to answer, where does the magic come from?" Orkus asked.
A nobleman became furious, slapped the armrest, stood up and angrily shouted: "The academic community is still debating the source of magic power. How should we answer it? You are just messing around. This has nothing to do with the question we asked about summoning!"
Orkus ignored the nearby volcanic eruption and looked at Bedelis calmly.
"The magic we use, the ubiquitous magic, constitutes everything in this world that seems reasonable, but until now, we have not been able to find the source of this reasonableness."
"Where is the source of magic, where are the sources of all rules and order?" Orkus said, "This is the ultimate question that magicians who have reached a certain level continue to explore."
"The same is true for summoning. If you ask me why I can't summon the other party's summons, I can only tell you that I don't know either. The summoning school has withered for more than a thousand years, exploration has almost stopped, and the water source has dried up. Every summon
What the teacher is facing is a dull prospect and a gloomy future, and what he is looking for is an answer that he may not be able to obtain even in his lifetime."
Orkus looked around: "What we summoners want is not to explore the origin of the rules of power and the root of all existence in the world, but to find out why the summons is so unbearable?"
"Summoning has all kinds of weird problems. For example, the summoning cannot be stabilized. For example, the summoning product is wrong. Even a senior summoner can't answer these answers for you. Maybe you can only get a solution by tracing back to the root of the summoning."
There was silence for a while, and the nobles sneered.
"So, you are still not as good as the other party's summoner, right?"
Orkus no longer argued: "If you say so, then I am not as good as him."
Thinking about it carefully, if Lu Yu had also reached that world and finally had such power, then he seemed to be really inferior to him, but...
Orcus is still unwilling to admit this fact.
He knew why the nobles pressed forward so hard, because these nobles threw their descendants into the army to be gilded. The southern battlefield was so weak that it was the best training ground.
However, fate also dictated that Blue Water City fought the most brutal war since the founding of Selel. The descendants of most of the nobles here became food for Lu Yu's summons.
Bidelis called all these nobles here, no doubt to let them vent their anger. After all, if these people don't let their anger go, they will eventually make trouble on him.
The chaotic criticism made the palace look like a business road for selling goods. Bidilis clapped his hands, suppressed all the accusations against Orcus, and pointed out one point keenly.
"You just said that you can't summon it now, but how can you summon it in the future?" Bidilis still couldn't forget the monster that could swallow hundreds of thousands of people.
"May be."
"Why maybe?"
Orcus hesitated for a while and said: "If this question must be answered, I only wish to inform His Majesty."
Bidilis frowned, and after thinking for a while, he asked the nobles to step aside temporarily.
"The flesh and blood chariot I recently summoned in this war was most likely made by the opponent's summoner. Based on the power of the flesh and blood chariot and the experience accumulated from several failed summons, I think it may be a new summon.
Restriction means that it cannot be effectively summoned within a certain time limit."
"I tried to summon this summon created by the other party after I came back, but failed. This is exactly the same as when I first summoned a flesh and blood chariot."
Bidelis waved his hand impatiently: "Since you can summon that flesh and blood chariot, then this new monster should also be able to be summoned. I believe you."
Orcus had to show his fear and fear.
"But even so, the cost of summoning is unknown. Such a powerful summon often requires paying an unimaginable price. As it grows, it may be extremely difficult to control it."
Bidilis disagreed with Orcus's refusal.
"It's just a price. The empire will provide you with everything you want to make up for the losses you suffered during the summoning. You just need to concentrate on your research and wait for the moment you can summon it."
"In view of the excitement among the elves on the Western Front, you will be heading to the Western Front soon. It is believed that there are nearly one hundred thousand elves there. It should be a perfect appetizer for the summons, right?"
Looking at Orkus who lowered his head and said nothing, Biedilis touched his fox fur and reminded: "In this battle of blue water, you lost against the opponent's summoner. Many nobles and soldiers in the army lost.
I think it’s because you didn’t play a role.”
"You have also seen the naked dissatisfaction of those nobles towards you today... Although you have devoted yourself to research, you have been separated from your family for a long time, and you are still alone, but..."
Bidilis turned his back and said no more.
Orkus slowly raised his head and looked at Bidelis's back, his eyes were a little less respectful and a little more cold.
On the surface, she was keeping him out of trouble, but in reality, she was threatening him.
Orkus suppressed the chill in his voice and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, does he know that this summoned creature becomes stronger by devouring flesh and blood? In his eyes, there is no difference between friend and foe, only the difference between whether it can be eaten..."
If released, many people will die, not just enemies."
Bidilis said: "Then let the wounded soldiers and slaves serve as the vanguard."
Orkus clenched his fists subconsciously. When he saw Bedelis turning around, he quickly controlled the rhythm of his breathing and slowly expanded his fists.
"Orkus, from now on, the royal family will support your summoning research. Do you understand what I mean?"
Orcus: "It's an honor."
"The nobles won't embarrass you. The defeat of Blue Water will not involve you this time. Just go back and recuperate... Oh, by the way, you brought back that fox..."
Orkus immediately became nervous.
"Although the foreign race should be dealt with, in view of the situation of you and your daughter, I will forgive you a little."
Orkus looked at Bedelis's fox fur from the corner of his eye. Only now did he understand what Bedelis's casual clothes meant today.
"You are far inferior to the late emperor in terms of scheming and scheming. The late emperor would never do this..."
After leaving Bidelis's palace, Sunafa, who was waiting outside, approached, hoping to ask about the specific content of the inquiry.
Orcus looked at the palace in the distance in the wind and snow, and said meaningfully: "Yesterday seemed to be warmer than today."
At the same time, Lu Yu, who was still unable to escape from the world full of white light, had gradually figured out some ways of this world through many attempts.
His curiosity about Orcus prompted him to call out Dragon Slayer while using his word spirit.
The reason why Orkus is not searched is because no matter how hard we try, the world will not respond to the summoner's name.
The dragon slayer triggered the search, and a large number of summons with the same name appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes.
Since there was no screening mechanism, Lu Yu had no choice but to swim between bubbles.
Finally, in a bubble hidden in the corner, Lu Yu found the answer he wanted.
In the lower right corner of the image of a summoned creature named Dragon Slayer, there is the name of Orkus.
Orcus, like him, had visited here before.
And the reason why he obtained the qualification was because he summoned Serel's heroic spirit.
Lu Yu murmured: "Creating and summoning are the qualifications to come here?"
