Through the reminder from Serra's magic messenger, Lu Yu got a quick route through the castle courtyard and the first floor of guards.
To deal with these mediocre knights, Lulu could have burned them all, but Sera repeatedly asked Lulu not to set fire to them and to ensure the integrity of every corpse.
Based on what she had seen and heard on the island before, Lulu immediately realized that there was also a "loop" on this island.
After killing a knight guarding the side door of the courtyard, Lulu wrapped a small part of his body in flames and burned it completely. The final result was consistent with a circular island full of monsters and beasts.
The Big Bowl shrunk on its own, and the body that originally contained a bunch of debris gradually bulged into a hill. Fortunately, the builders of the castle made the place extremely spacious, otherwise the Big Bowl probably wouldn't be able to fit in even if it was shrunk.
Following the instructions, Lulu killed all the knights she saw along the way, scaring the servants and slaves into fleeing in all directions. Amidst the constant ringing of the alarm bell, Lu Yu and his party easily completed the rendezvous with Sera.
Then, Lu Yu was dumbfounded.
They were worried that there would be no food in the moon-carved barrier, so they brought a bunch of dried meat in. They were also always worried about the safety of Sera and her two followers.
But what's going on with the barbecue in this house...
What's going on with the skinned sheep on the ground?
These two seem to be in great spirits, and they don't look like believers who have been missing for ten days and a half. What's going on?
You don't look like you are missing at all.
In order to enter the conference room, Dawan had to shake off some more clods of soil from his body, shrinking his body again, and then struggled to squeeze into the room carrying the heavy supplies.
As soon as I entered the door, those rickety "hills" all fell down, pressing the small bowl underneath.
After checking whether the two dead knights were on guard, Isco was shocked when he saw the small bowl buried under the dried meat as soon as he closed the door.
Anna's eyes urged him to hold the hand for the small bowl, but Isco looked at his only left hand and thought about what the Lord Chosen had just said...
"His summons ate a hundred thousand people."
While Isco was still struggling with his thoughts, the mist demon floated down and rescued the little bowl who didn't know how to use his hands.
Feeling that his task was almost completed, the small bowl simply became smaller and smaller, leaving a pile of sand in front of the door, turning into a tea bowl placed on the dining table.
Lu Yu glanced at it, and suddenly a light flashed through his mind.
On this side, Lu Yu was deep in thought, while on the other side, Sera had hugged Lulu and rubbed Lulu's face with her hands, leaving only a slit for her eyes.
Lulu was glad that there were still two people from the Theocracy at the scene, otherwise judging from her past experience, Sera would rub her cheek against her, and even if she wanted to push her away, it would be difficult to do so.
Sera is not a pure magician. She has a lot of practical experience. She has good physical strength and is stronger than a stay-at-home girl like Lulu. Every time she is hugged by her, Lulu feels like she is just a little rabbit, and Sera
Laze is the owner of the little rabbit...
"I thought you were having a hard time in the barrier, but you end up eating better than us. All the sheep are killed on the spot. That's too much!"
Lulu, who was in a hurry, wanted to appear in front of Sera as a savior, but she didn't expect that Sera was fine at all. This made her happily relieved, but then she was disappointed.
Looking at the dried meat on the ground, Sera wanted to rub Lulu's face again and tease her, but Isco and Anna seemed to be peeking at the place with sideways eyes, so she could only tidy up her clothes reservedly.
, adjust the tone.
"It seems you care about my safety. We are indeed friends."
"Who is your friend? As a magician, I am driven by curiosity to find the mystery of your disappearance. When encountering such an enchantment, it would be a shame not to explore it."
At the end, Lulu added: "I just came to see you by the way."
The mist demon whispered beside Sigrid: "But I remember Lulu said that Sera is one of her few friends, and I hope Lu Yu can use his brain to help her..."
Sigrid also reminded in a low voice: "Lulu hasn't helped you refine the body-shaping potion yet..."
The mist demon immediately shut up, turned into a small teacup, and moved closer to the small bowl.
Seeing Lulutis exchanging information about the moon-carved barrier with her chosen god, and the murderous summoner playing with his summons, Anna could only stand aside without saying a word, putting on a polite smile.
.
Isco, who moved little by little to Ana's side, asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"
"Lulutis?"
"No, this summoner named Lu Yu..."
"Looks pretty normal..."
"Before the poisonous fog incident, everyone thought Lulutis was normal."
"No, before the poisonous fog incident, I didn't think Lulutis was normal. The number of explosions of her potion was quite alarming. It once made the Theocratic Nation think that Tanya was planning to exchange ideas between brothers and sisters with her brothers.
emotion…"
“…”
Although Lulutis' tone was a bit awkward when chatting with her Divine Chosen, Anna could feel that Lulutis and the Divine Chosen had a very good relationship.
Lady Serra is also a person who rarely talks about "friends". Although she has made many friends during her travels to the Theocracy, those are friends of the Theocracy, short-lived friends, and friends who change according to the current situation and interests.
.
From Lady Sera's point of view, since she entered the Theocracy, there have been very few people she is interested in making friends with, so there have been rumors circulating within the Theocracy that Lady Sera is aloof and arrogant.
He can't get along with the bishops, and he can't get along with the chief priests who preside over important matters such as sacrifices on a daily basis. Lord Serra has always given the impression to everyone in the Theocracy that he comes and goes in a hurry, a complete loner.
If she can solve the problem, the Theocracy will not send anyone to help.
Does not cooperate with anyone, nor can it be cooperated with anyone
Just like this time with the Moon Engraving Barrier, after he reported all kinds of strange events, Lord Chosen came to Kolai alone. Even though he felt the danger in the castle, he still tried his best to protect them.
Is she really aloof and arrogant?
When he accompanied Lord Serra to rescue the refugees, the regret and sadness in Lord Serra's eyes were so real.
When a natural disaster strikes, Lord Serra prays for the earth in a pious and solemn way.
Although the daily work of God's Chosen is close to people, it is also alienated from people. This is the original words of Bishop David, who is also the bishop who has the closest relationship with God's Chosen.
Anna couldn't understand it at the time, and she didn't really understand it until this time.
Anna believed in Sera's vision, and anyone she could trust would definitely not do such unscrupulous things as Sharman Poison Fog.
plow
Isco has been with Anna for a long time and can understand Anna's thoughts very well, but compared to the emotional Anna, Isco is very cautious.
The biggest suspect in the Sandman Poison Mist Incident, and the summoner of Mostana's summoning creature, who cannibalize hundreds of thousands of people, are gathered together. Regardless of whether they are good or evil, the danger level is exploding. This point is not gone.
What Isco is confused about now is whether the small tea bowl Lu Yu is playing with can also eat people...
With his strong psychological quality and the blessing of the divine choice, Isco took the initiative to introduce himself to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu's reaction was very ordinary and his response was very easy-going. Anyway, he had nothing to do with the bloodthirsty summoner who was rumored to control summoned objects.
"Summoners are really a rare sect of magicians. Their number is quite rare in the entire Mera Continent."
Using the summons as the starting point, Lu Yu's desire to chat became obviously much stronger.
"It doesn't matter if it's rare, as long as there are still people around. After going to Mela, I plan to collect books from various universities to increase my knowledge."
Through Orkus's collection of books and the mastery of the technique of double summoning of elements, Lu Yu had a deep impression.
In this darkest age of summoning, those who still persist in the summoning genre are remarkable.
They work hard to find the most reasonable way to use it to ensure that the summons will not completely decline and become completely useless. They are scholars worthy of admiration.
Isco looked horrified, and even Anna beside him couldn't hide his shock.
The mist demon suddenly stretched out a pair of hands and grabbed the edge of the small tea bowl, teasing him. This also prevented Lu Yu from seeing the expressions of Isko and Isko.
"Mr. Lu Yu...you just said that you should collect books from various universities, do you mean to learn all their knowledge?"
Lu Yu, while mediating the 'battle' between the mist demon and Xiaowan, replied: "Yes, getting all the books is the fastest way."
Isco was sweating profusely and turned to look at Anna, and found that Anna was also looking at him, her face turned pale.
"The School of Summoning has long since withered away. There are only a few Summoning Scholars, their families and their collection of books left. Does he plan to eat them all?"
"Otherwise...do you think those scholars would let an outsider sort out their knowledge..." Anna said.
"It is indeed the fastest way..."
The monopoly of academics and the privacy of inheritance have led to the decline of a school, and there will still be a large number of conservatives who would rather the books be corroded by time than share them and seek progress.
The only way to get these stubborn people to share their knowledge is through force.
And the quickest way is to kill.
As long as you kill everyone, no one will stop you.
Under absolute violence, the high wall built will collapse in an instant.
Obviously, the summoner who had just made his summons eat 100,000 people in Mostana was trying to solve the problem by killing people.
At this time, looking at the small bowl in Lu Yu's hand, Anna suddenly felt that there was a bright red color on it.
The exchange of information between Lulu and Sera has ended, and Sera announced tonight's action plan.
"Tonight, let's kill all the people on the current floor together. Try not to use extremely destructive magic. Try not to alert the knights on other floors. After completing all this, we will search room by room and record each room.
furnishings.”
"Because the castle is very large, it will take a lot of time to sweep down a single floor. Therefore, the time is set to be close to midnight. After the knights change their shifts, the castle's morning bell rings and they must return to the conference room."
"At the same time, because each room in the castle will move, and the movement is regular, and the triggering conditions are unknown, so when searching the room, two people must be paired, one person enters, and the other person observes outside the door."
"Me, Lulu, Sigrid, Mist Demon, Anna, Isko, Sera..." Lu Yu counted the number of people, "Seven people, one person missing."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yu. Lu Yu, who was stared at a little, took a step back and said, "What are you doing? Did I say something wrong?"
"You have a summon, you can search the room alone..."
Lulu sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll go with him. Lu Yu is only at the third level and is the weakest among us. There must be someone stronger to follow him. There are really not enough people. It's completely
You can make three people form a team."
"Third level?"
Isco and Ana's jaws dropped.
The third level can summon a summoned creature that can eat 100,000 people. Is this magic?
Sera glanced at Lu Yu without any trace, and then at Lulu who was standing next to Lu Yu. She clenched her fists and then slowly loosened them.
Night falls soon, and the moon is still bright tonight.
In the market far away from the castle, all the unconscious dolls hurried home from all over the island as the sun set. When the sky gradually darkened, the newly lit lights in the houses quickly went out.
Seeing that Lu Yu was fascinated, Sera, who had just woken up, walked to the window.
"very curious?"
Lu Yu nodded frankly: "A bit. In fact, I wanted to ask this morning whether these things you call unconscious puppets are considered puppets."
"They are dolls, but just like its name, they do not have any self-awareness. Your interference and destruction cannot affect their behavior. Standing among them, you are like a ghost. They
I don't notice you, I'm just doing my own thing."
"Are the dolls in this castle conscious?"
"No, but they are more healthy." Sera said, "Although they are bound by a huge magic circle and move on this land, they will react to your actions."
"When you appear in front of them, they will analyze your identity and erase or expel you. They have an inner 'core', which clarifies the boundaries of their behavior and tells them what this body represents.
To what extent should one’s identity be achieved, and to what extent one can achieve it.”
"Knights will protect the safety of this castle; slaves will be driven to do the most menial labor and the heaviest work; servants will continue to complete every order issued by the steward. Although everyone here
It has no soul, but it has a 'template'. Compared with the soulless puppet, it already has the minimum fillings and is more filling."
Lu Yu touched his head: "It sounds a little different, but generally speaking, they are just soulless dolls."
Sera sighed and glanced at Lulu, who was napping for tonight's action: "Is it so difficult when she teaches you?"
"Sometimes, indeed..."
After all, Lu Yu is not a native of this world, so he often cannot quickly understand some details.
