"Do you have any unfinished business?" After teasing Lu Yu, Sera stood up carrying the box.
"A bit..." Lu Yu said, "I have an agreement with a summoning scholar. I want to make rubbings of his summoning manual and borrow some books by the way. His summoning library is stored in a border city in Serier, and it is currently at war.
In this state, there is no way for him to return to Selel to transport a huge number of books."
Sierra blinked her eyes, her curved eyelashes trembling.
"Summon scholars, summon books?" Sera asked curiously, "That scholar is the source of the giant beast of blue water and flesh and blood?"
Instantly, Sierra became interested.
It was unlikely in her opinion that a summoned creature could kill 100,000 people, but with such outrageous rumors, this summoner must have played a decisive role in the war. According to her knowledge, the Summoning School has not been involved in the war in recent years.
It has occupied a dominant position in large-scale wars. After all, other magicians can always do better than it.
There are currently only two summoners in the Theocracy, and both of them are summoning scholars, and their daily life is basically research. If we really talk about their combat power, these fifth-level magicians may not even be able to defeat some excellent fourth-level magicians.
"I'm sorry... the flesh-and-blood beast you are talking about is named Piano, and he was not summoned by Orkus, but by me."
“…”
“…”
Sera stared at Lu Yu, her eyes full of doubts.
Then she smiled: "Stop it, I know you don't like being teased, but you don't have to tell such a lame lie. You are a third-level magician. According to you, you should have been a second-level magician a while ago.
Magicians have a hard time amplifying large-scale magic, and summoning always requires a lot of magic. A summoned object that can feed tens of thousands of people, what do you use to summon it?"
"It can't be an overpayment, right?" Sierra waved her hand, "If that's the case, the price will definitely kill you. There's no reason why you should just stand here."
Lu Yu was happy, knowing that Sera made inferences based on common sense and therefore did not trust him, so he didn't say much and took Sera to Orcus's home.
Orkus and Bread, who were cleaning their new house, immediately gave Lu Yu a sudden visit with smiles on their faces, but after seeing Sera, their smiles turned into vigilance.
"Orcus, come and prove it to me." Lu Yu went straight to the point, "Who summoned the piano?"
Orkus was stunned for a while. After feeling the magical aura on Sera's body, he was trembling with fear. At the same time, he also knew what Lu Yu had just encountered.
He first asked tentatively: "Did you not encounter anything just now?"
"No, don't worry, this rabbit...oh no, Sera, is a friend of my good friend."
As for calling myself Rabbit so smoothly, it seems that I often hear Lulu talking about herself...
But when Sera heard Lu Yu call Lulu that way, she could only smile awkwardly but politely.
A sense of loss arose spontaneously as the most important position in Lulu's heart was taken away from half of her heart.
"Ms. Serra, the exact name of the flesh-and-blood beast you are talking about is the piano that Lu Yu mentioned. It was also his creation... Maybe there is a better way to describe it, or maybe this statement is incorrect, but that's all I can do at the moment.
Describe it…”
Sierra sighed: "As expected of a scholar, this wording is really rigorous..."
After sighing, Sera still didn't believe it. She asked: "It is rumored that this flesh-and-blood beast has devoured more than ten thousand soldiers, which means that the summoned objects are very powerful. Although I don't understand the science of summoning, I have the basics of magic power. There is a way.
Yu is just a second-level magician, how can he summon such a monster?"
"Rabbit... Oh no, Ms. Serra, some common sense does not apply to summoning. You are also a high-level magician, so you should be very aware of the chaotic current situation of summoning. At the same time, some common sense does not apply to Lu Yu's summons. He
The summoned creature has the power to continuously grow stronger by devouring flesh and blood. During this war, the piano gradually turned into a real flesh and blood beast through devouring bit by bit."
Sera's head buzzed, and she stared at Lu Yu beside her with incredulous eyes.
"You mean... devouring 100,000 people, is it true?"
"Perhaps what you said is a bit conservative. I was in the Selier formation at that time. According to the statistics of the secretaries of each legion afterwards, of the 230,000 troops that went south to Blue Water City, excluding the 50,000 legions that attacked the surrounding races,
More than half of the legions that faced Blue Water head-on were lost, or even the entire legion was destroyed."
"Emperor Bedelis of Serel strictly prohibits the release of specific loss data, but according to the information I have received, among the 180,000 people who faced Blue Water head-on, the number of 'missing' people is 130,000."
Lu Yu added: "Actually, if you don't believe it, you can go and see the baggage we got from cleaning the battlefield when we rebuilt."
Orkus nodded: "Yes, Selel was beaten by the piano and retreated in a hurry. A large amount of supplies were abandoned in the camp and there was no time to recover them. Although they were destroyed by the piano, there should be a lot left.
You can tell if it’s true or false just by looking at it.”
Sera's head is running out. She has been the Chosen God for so many years and has dealt with many big countries and even envoys from other continents. She has seen a lot, but this time, she has really never heard of it.
ah.
Although Sera was curious as to why Orkus, a Serelite who had participated in the Blue Water War, was here, there was something she wanted to know even more.
"On my way to Mostana, I landed in Serel and asked for directions. I also learned that there are many sixth-order people in their country. Was there no sixth-order people in the Blue Water battle? A group of sixth-order people besieged flesh and blood...Piano?"
"Even if Mostana's sixth-level standard is relatively low, a concentrated attack can always have an impact on the summoned objects, right?"
"That's 100,000 soldiers. How could they be killed by a summoned creature?"
Orkus patiently explained to Sera the several abilities of the piano, his tone full of pride.
Although he was not the summoner of the piano, Orkus was very satisfied to see a high-level magician so shocked.
Sera looked at Lu Yu with surprise at first, and then suspicion.
Through Sera's reaction, Lu Yu also knew how the outside world would view the rumors of the Blue Water War.
As the Divine Chosen of the Theocratic Nation, they are as knowledgeable and powerful as Lulu. At their level, there are very few things that can surprise them so much.
No matter which continent you are on, everyone's understanding of summoned objects has been fixed as "general common sense".
Eating 100,000 people, this kind of information is so counter-intuitive that it does not require any artistic processing at all to become a "rumor", even if the person who spreads it is the Seler people, Kolay, who is relatively close to the Seler people.
People, the information is basically not distorted, and everyone will think it is a joke.
After listening to Orcus's description, Sera basically believed it, but she still stubbornly wanted to visit the baggage abandoned by Serel.
Lu Yu found Ye Shui and asked her to take Sera to take a closer look.
Taking advantage of this gap, Bread brought tea to Lu Yu.
"Bread, if you weren't here, I wouldn't have had tea or refreshments."
Bread proudly put his hands on his hips: "Of course."
This little expression asking for praise reminded Lu Yu of his own mist demon. Every time the mist demon helped with something, she would always float back and forth in front of Lu Yu. As long as Lu Yu didn't praise her, she wouldn't leave.
After getting along for a period of time, the relationship between Lu Yu and Orkus has become very good, and teasing each other is just a daily routine.
It's hard to imagine that not long ago, the two of them were still on the ground beneath their feet, being pulled together by inexplicable impulses.
One almost died trying to find out what this impulse was.
One almost killed the other party in order to appease his thirst for knowledge and his anxiety about being unable to control his summoned objects.
After meeting, the "urge" that had been throbbing in my heart disappeared, as if it had never existed.
The two also discussed what this impulse was, and several speculations were made, but in the end, Orkus was rigorous and temporarily dismissed them as "there is no evidence and cannot be confirmed."
Lu Yu gently pinched Bread's face, but the bread couldn't fall off no matter how hard he slapped it. Seeing this, Orkus couldn't help but laugh.
When Lu Yu heard the laughter, the corners of his mouth rose, and he stopped teasing the bread. Instead, he picked up a piece of preserved fruit and threw it into his mouth, tasting it carefully.
Bread has become one of Orcus's few comforts.
For the Summoning Technique, he left his homeland and the emperor who might push him to hell for the Summoning Technique, and even bring hell to his own country.
Having realized that he was not a competent father, he never had the chance to make up for his shortcomings to his daughter.
In order not to be tortured by the pain, Orkus gave back all the responsibilities he had not fulfilled in the first half of his life to bread.
This war has taken away the things they care about most. Now that they can escape and live quietly again, it is the best result.
Lu Yu explained to Orcus where Serra came from.
"you are leaving?"
Lu Yu nodded slightly: "My friend has a problem, and I must go with her to solve it. But before I leave, I still want to take a look at your summoning manual and those treasured summoning books."
"It's difficult. Sui City is close to the border. It's wartime now. The domestic censorship in Selel is very strict. Even foreign business groups will be strictly inspected. So many books will definitely be discovered."
Lu Yu couldn't see the summoning manual written by an outstanding summoning scholar, and he felt uneasy!
Sierra pushed open the door, walked straight to Lu Yu, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and looked at Lu Yu carefully again with her eyes from top to bottom.
It was clearly a look of appreciation, but Lu Yu felt that there were other emotions hidden in it, which were a bit complicated.
"This is another reason why you are slow to advance, right?"
"That's right...after all, if you spend time thinking about summoning, you won't be able to practice much."
"Well, since this is the path you have chosen, just keep going. Believe that the choice in your heart is always the right one."
Listening to Sera's words, Lu Yu suddenly had an idea.
"Sela, can you help bring back Orkus's collection of books?"
Sierra straightened her clothes and dusted them off.
"Where are they? Is there a lot of them?"
After confirming Lu Yu's summoning miracle, Sera couldn't help but become interested.
Orkus had just learned from Lu Yu that there was a dragon in Serel, and thought it was interesting. He immediately took out a map and pointed to the border of Serel.
"There are about a thousand copies, all stored in one place."
Sera frowned, held her chin and thought for a while, then walked out of the door and called for Benlong.
The stupid dragon was punished by Sera because he held Lulu in his mouth while Sera wasn't paying attention and nudged it around with his tongue. When he heard Sera calling him, he flew over happily.
Sera picked up Lu Yu's summoning manual, patted Benlong's belly, and then made some gestures.
“Are there many thick and heavy books?”
Orkus touched his head: "Sorry, I have too many books to remember."
Sera held her chin and thought for a while: "Okay, you go with me. If you can't hold it anymore, you can pick the important ones and take them away."
Orcus and Lu Yu's eyes lit up. Unlike Orcus' excitement, Lu Yu quickly calmed down.
He asked worriedly: "You plan to break in with the stupid dragon, but it is the border after all. What if you are besieged?"
Even a powerful magician like Sera would be in danger if he was besieged by a large number of enemies. What's more, they rely on the stupid dragon to cross the border. If the stupid dragon is injured, they will be trapped inside.
"You don't need to worry about this problem, I have a solution."
Sera's tone contained extremely strong confidence, which made people feel that even if Serel's sixth-level siege came together, she would be able to do something about it.
This time, Lu Yu was excited, while Orkus was worried.
Lu Yu knew about Sera's combat prowess, but Orcus only knew that Sera was a sixth-level warrior.
"Now that it's been decided, I'll let Benlong start preparations and set off tomorrow."
Orkus, who couldn't wait to set off now, asked curiously: "Does this dragon need to make a temporary backpack?"
"If your backpack is attacked, all your books will be destroyed, so use my magic."
Sera patted the aggrieved stupid dragon on the face: "Since you put Lulu in your mouth as a toy, I decided to let you get close to Lulu from now on, and you are not allowed to eat!"
Stupid Dragon's tears flowed as fast as he wanted.
"Bad Sera...Bad Sera...I want Lulu, I want Lulu!"
"Um?"
"I was wrong…"
"That's right."
Sierra leaned against Benlong's mouth, her ears twitching.
"If you do something wrong, you have to accept the punishment, right?"
"Yes." Benlong replied with tears in his eyes.
"In this way, if you do something for me, I will put Lulu on your head and let you protect her for a day, okay?"
Stupid Dragon was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Then it's settled, for tomorrow's things, I need you to be hungry for a while. Of course, after the things are done, I will let you have a full meal."
When Benlong heard about the food, he didn't agree immediately, but reminded: "There is also Lulu, I want Lulu."
"Okay, Lulu will give it to you too."
Seeing the unclear conversation between Sera and Benlong, Lu Yu asked curiously: "There is a lot of blue water to eat, why should Benlong set off hungry?"
