The first sight was an annoying gray-white color. As the main color of marble in the entire castle, Lu Yu's eyes were already tired from looking at it. As long as he touched the gray-white color, he would think of the identical rooms and the shrouded surroundings.
In the silence, the corridor at the end could not be seen.
The furnishings in the room made Lu Yu, who gradually regained consciousness, stand up in horror. It was also at this moment that he realized that he did not seem to be sitting on the ground.
Just when he fell face down and hurt, big khaki hands hurriedly grabbed him.
Maintaining the hanging posture, Lu Yu looked at the large bowl of earth element, the owner of the big hand, and breathed a sigh of relief. This chubby guy really felt too safe at the moment.
"When did you conjure up the hand?" Lu Yu asked curiously, realizing that he was sitting on the hand of the big bowl just now.
Unlike the flesh-and-blood chariot and the piano, which he can interact with, the earth element bowl is very silly. It is difficult to get a response when talking to him. This makes Lu Yu regret that he did not modify the summoning manual provided by Orcus.
These elemental life points out the five senses.
On the cabinet against the wall of the room, the organs of various races soaked in an unknown solution were the reason why Lu Yu's heart nearly stopped just now.
As he examined the tabletops in front of him, a chill ran up his spine.
The arms and thighs are neatly sectioned and arranged according to size.
The long horns of horned creatures are sawed off and arranged neatly according to their length.
The fingers are arranged according to male and female, skin color, and length.
On the table closest to the cross behind Lu Yu, a dark box contained potions, knives, and scrolls, and next to the table lay a man dripping with blood. His body was in pieces.
human form.
Lu Yu raised his head and glanced at the blood on the big bowl's hands, and then at a collapsed cabinet not far away, with "parts" scattered on the floor, and large stones missing from the wall.
What happened was instantly clear.
The small bowl that was teleported with him quickly grew in size after discovering the danger, and beat the man in black into a ball of rotten flesh before he could remove the parts for him.
Lu Yu patted Dawan's belly to express his gratitude, then walked to the body of the man in black and untied his clothes.
Although some of the wounds on the man in black had exposed bone stubble, Lu Yu still wanted to confirm it with his eyes.
Without hesitation, he picked up the knife on the table that was supposed to cut his own parts, cut open the heart of the man in black, endured the discomfort, and found the heart.
He did not stop, the knife continued downward, and more organs appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes.
The strong smell of blood clogged Lu Yu's nose, and he quickly washed his hands with water in the basin next to him.
Not a doll?
Before leaving, Serra gave Lu Yu some popular science about the types of puppets that can be made in the current magical environment, their basic structures, and the group of puppet masters. He remembered a few of them very clearly.
"Remember, the so-called puppets are soulless things made by soulful things, and the so-called puppet masters are the authors of soulless things...or in other words, they are their self-proclaimed creators."
"The ultimate goal of the puppet masters was to become the soul-giver of soulless things. However, during the long development, their concepts changed."
"Unlike the summoners who were scattered and lost their destination, the later puppet masters had a very clear goal - to create another 'me'."
"No matter which race you are, no one can create 'life' now. No matter how powerful the life is, it cannot escape the shackles of lifespan. If you want to get closer to the reality of magic, you will eventually be trapped by the decay of the body, and then be destroyed by time.
Corrosion takes away everything equally, so escaping decay and seeking immortality, and longing for immortality, become the destination of all non-immortal species.”
"Among the many projects pursuing eternity, the puppeteers challenged 'creation'."
"They try to break away from the consciousness trapped in the body and enter a new body. They use the new body to escape decay and welcome new life. In this way, they can achieve eternity in disguise and isolate decay."
When saying these words, Sera's face was full of disdain and ridicule, as if she was laughing at the puppet master's efforts to obtain the eternal shrink.
At that time, Lu Yu wanted to ask more questions, but Lulu happened to wake up.
The body lying in front of Lu Yu's eyes was real in flesh and blood and was not filled with other objects. His heart also beat powerfully, just like a real person.
But it is a pity that Lu Yu was in a coma at the time, and it was impossible to determine whether he was conscious. From an internal point of view, even if he was a doll, it did not take long to make, because the internal fillings will decay and need to be constantly replaced.
, just like a machine that has been used for a long time and needs to replace parts.
Lu Yu felt as if he was in a museum at this moment. The dazzling array of exhibits made people shudder, but he suppressed the fear in his heart and looked for Isco's arm.
Finally, in the blind spot blocked by the big bowl, Lu Yu found the arm that had been cut off and placed high up without any accessories. Without saying a word, he found a piece of cloth and wrapped the arm tightly.
Arriving in front of the carved wooden door, Lu Yu quietly turned the handle and released the shrunken bowl. Only after it confirmed that it was safe, Lu Yu walked out.
The same gray and white colors crowded into Lu Yu's field of vision again. The decoration of the corridor and the distribution of the rooms were exactly the same as what he had seen before.
Lu Yu looked around in confusion, walked back to the "museum" in confusion, and walked out of the museum again.
Confused.
When he entered the room, he was teleported away inexplicably, and now when he walked out, he was back to the original place?
Staring at the brightly lit corridor, Lu Yu, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a strong sense of disharmony.
He walked to a house and stretched out his right hand to turn the handle of the room, but his hand came up empty.
Looking at the door handle on the left, Lu Yu was stunned for a second and immediately rushed to the other door.
The left side again.
Arriving at the spiral staircase without any obstruction, he looked down and saw that the stairs that were supposed to be right-handed were actually left-handed.
The bright moonlight shone on Lu Yu's feet. He lowered his head in thought and suddenly raised his head, looked at the crescent moon, and waved his hand to order: "Smash this window."
The glass shattered with a sound, and there was no cool night breeze flowing in. What was left was just an illusion of a wall that returned to its original state after a moment.
The moon is still bright, and the moonlight still shines on Lu Yu.
"interesting."
Lu Yu has figured out where he is.
This is a mirrored castle. The castle on the surface is the outside, and the castle below the ground is the inside. The two are joined together with the basement as the middle boundary. The organ room that Sera can't find is actually in the castle on the inside, which has been cut off.
Isco, who had only one arm, was not tortured in a castle on the ground at all, but actually underground.
In order to make the ground and underground completely consistent, the outer walls here also project the outside scenery of the above-ground castle, making it impossible to detect those subtle changes without careful analysis.
Lu Yu seemed to be in a huge whirlpool, and his brain was being driven to rotate continuously.
The scale of the castle on the surface is already large enough, and the various internal arrangements are so exquisite, but there is a completely opposite castle underground... How much time did the people who built this castle spend?
In this moon-carved boundary where almost no one comes, what is the significance of building an underground castle? Gu Hui
"despair."
"despair."
In the silence, the sound of slight footsteps can be as loud as thunder.
Lu Yu's hair stood on end and his body couldn't help but feel a little stiff.
Even after experiencing the baptism of war in Blue Water City, facing the unknown lurking in the darkness and one strange thing after another, he still couldn't restrain his inner uneasiness.
As the footsteps approached, Lu Yu was able to conclude that there was only one person on the other side, and it was not a knight wearing standard armor, because he could not hear the sound of the metal armor blades clashing and rubbing at all, and behind the light and slow footsteps.
At the same time, there seemed to be something light and light dragging gently on the ground, like a ribbon that had been accidentally placed on the ankle, rubbing the marble floor.
At the end of the corridor, the lights flickered and the outline of a human figure emerged.
Lu Yu created many strange summoned objects, either a bunch of tentacles, a bunch of eyeballs, or related to flesh and blood. They looked intimidating and disgusting, but they always lacked some new ideas.
Even Lulu and Sigrid joked that the world consciousness clearly gave Lu Yu great authority, but Lu Yu's creation had reached a bottleneck.
Now, the material that allows Lu Yu to break through the bottleneck appears in the distance.
There is no naked flesh and blood, no tentacles or eyeballs. It is a twisted combination of ordinary things, a grotesqueness that makes people feel uneasy and panicky with a sense of incongruity.
This human form, which is about the same height as Lu Yu, is covered with blooming flowers. The shoulders, chest, abdomen, arms, and thighs are all covered with flowers. The colorful petals tremble slightly with the man's steps.
The man's five fingers gradually turned green at the fingertips, turning into a long vine that hung down to the ground, rubbing against the marble.
The thighs and knees have two dark, thick sharp protrusions, covered with barbs.
Because he always lowered his head, Lu Yu could not see his face clearly before, but he soon regretted the idea of wanting to see his face.
The man's neck, covered under the linen gown, was as slender as a snake. It suddenly stretched by half a meter. The eyeballs that should have been in the eye sockets were embedded in the neck, and the spaces between the eye sockets were filled with fangs.
The ground has two mouths.
The man's uncoordinated body made his walking posture crooked, and he was on the verge of falling with every step he took.
"Expulsion..."
"material…"
The sharp sound came from nowhere on the monster's body, and Lu Yu felt it was extremely harsh.
It was also at this moment that the monster's vines flung out.
“Big bowl!”
The reliable khaki color protected Lu Yu behind him, and the slender vines beat densely on the body of the big bowl, and dull sounds sounded one after another.
Dawan stretched out his hand to pinch the monster's waist, intending to break him in half, but suddenly a pair of dark green human hands stretched out from behind the monster's shoulders and firmly pressed the rim of the big bowl.
The large, sturdy bowl was so suppressed by the sudden appearance of the green hand that it was unable to move even half a step, and the marble beneath its feet was shattered inch by inch.
The dazzling green light stung Lu Yu's eyes. He endured the discomfort and tried to observe, and found that the place where the big bowl was touched by the green hand had begun to melt, and the magical body formed by the earth element quickly dissipated.
Lu Yu took out the summoning manual and looked through the summons he had prepared all day long, but found that he was really self-defeating. Why did he design some big things!
In this confined space, if the summoned creature appeared, it would probably crash into the building first. Even if you could kill this thing that was no different from the suture monster, you would most likely die under the collapsed rubble.
"I don't often use fire, so the details in the fire attribute template are not complete. If you need to use the shaping fire element, you'd better be careful...forget it, you should be better than me in this aspect."
Orkus's warning was still ringing in his ears, and Lu Yu didn't care so much anymore. While the big bowl was not corroded and disappeared, the two elements cooperated to fight to get rid of this monster!
"Answer my call!"
The rich magic power in the moon-carved barrier meant that Lu Yu didn't need to worry about consuming it. Along with his roar, red silk threads condensed on the top of the big bowl's head in the torch illuminated by the auxiliary lighting crystal.
The Shaping Fire Elemental turned into a... gecko without being ordered to do so?
The little gecko landed on the edge of the big bowl and spit out a mouthful of fire at the emerald green hands without hesitation.
The Stitch Monster let out an ear-piercing scream, swaying and shrank back, its slender neck leaning forward slightly, as if it wanted to know what happened.
Lu Yu took the opportunity to check the condition of the big bowl.
It was not just as simple as being corroded, those emerald-green hands actually implanted flower seeds into his body during the process of contacting the big bowl. These seeds were forcefully pressed into the elemental body of the big bowl by the emerald-green hands.
.
The green color spread over the big bowl, and the fat brother who had been silent all this time and just stood silently next to him made a dull "buzzing" sound.
As Dawan's summoner, Lu Yu could feel the pain Dawan suffered.
These seeds are cutting off the magic power they add to Dawan from Lu Yu, suffocating Dawan.
"It's okay to ask you to guard the palace... set fire to temporarily block the monster."
The guard, who was small enough to roll in Lu Yu's hand, jumped out, his mouth bulging like two cheek pouches.
The high-temperature flames spewed out of the little gecko's mouth caused the flowers on the Stitch Monster's body to wither, and it felt that the dangerous Stitch Monster was no longer moving forward, but slowly retreating.
While feeling impressed by the power of guarding the palace, Lu Yu began to feel dizzy.
The shaping elements provided by Orkus are all good, but they consume a lot of money. The harder the little gecko works, the faster Lu Yu will be drained...
"You are using a water pump to pump out my magic power..."
Lu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly let the big bowl disintegrate.
Dawan peeled off the marble body condensed with magic power, trying to get rid of the erosion of the seeds, but Lu Yu obviously underestimated the strength of the suture monster.
The seeds of the Stitch Monster merged with the magic that shaped the bowl, and they began to sprout and grow in just a few moments.
Now he was not cutting off the magic power of Dawan, but stealing it. Lu Yu could even feel that Dawan's will was wavering. It could no longer recognize who was the one who truly summoned and provided it with magic power.
In the distant firelight, the "eyes" of the Stitch Monster moved.
