How much does it cost to find a descendant of a summoner from seven hundred years ago?
The answer is two silver coins and four bottles of good wine. If you add a few more copper coins, you can lead the way to the end and tell something about Segro's descendants.
Lu Yu readily paid the coins, and the Baimu-level adventurer who accepted the commission took him to the city-state where Segro's descendants lived.
This manor, which is very far away from the city-state, is very atmospheric. Along the way, you can see many slaves working in the fields, and behind them are fierce overseers, waving whips from time to time and playing with beautiful whip flowers.
A man who looked like a housekeeper discovered Lu Yu. He did not dare to neglect and quickly returned to the mansion to report.
When Lu Yu came to the gate of the mansion, he saw a woman dressed up in a colorful way. I don't know if it was a trend in this city-state. With the help of a servant, she put on a straw hat filled with bird feathers.
The servant who dressed her up was the type that everyone would walk around in the slave market for a single silver coin. As a family that could afford servants and slaves, no one would buy such an ugly servant, and they didn’t know what the woman wanted.
.
The woman also saw Lu Yu and Lulu, and also saw Lu Yu giving silver coins and wine money to the adventurers around him.
"Mrs. Riley?"
Mrs. Riley, who looked like a fighting cock, took off her hat and looked at Lu Yu up and down. At the same time, she secretly glanced at Lulu next to Lu Yu.
"who are you?"
Lu Yu did not explain his true intention, but found another excuse.
"I am a scholar who specializes in collecting books related to summoning, and Mr. Riley's ancestor happened to have a famous summoner, so I came here to visit him."
When she heard that it was the scholar Mrs. Riley, a smile appeared on her face. She held her head high and ordered the ugly servant with dignity: "Please inform Sir Charles that I have a distinguished guest to receive and cannot attend him."
banquet."
After being welcomed into the splendid mansion, the servants served fruit wine, but the pastries that went with it were nowhere to be seen. Lulu drank the fruit wine and frowned as she looked at the plate of pastries carried away by the servant not far away.
.
Riley, the owner of the mansion, walked down from the second floor calmly. The smile on his face was hard to fault, but it made Lu Yu feel fake for no reason.
Seeing Lu Yu looking around the mansion, Mrs. Riley tilted her mouth, turned her head with some disdain, and called a servant to give her some instructions.
Lulu saw Mrs. Riley's expression in her eyes, then glanced at Lu Yu who was being polite to Riley, but finally said nothing.
"Lu Yu... has a very hard-to-pronounce name. It seems to come from a very far away place. According to my wife, you want to buy some books related to summons from us?"
Lu Yu withdrew his gaze and focused on the couple.
The reason why I was looking around like a country bumpkin was to find out how Segro's descendant, Riley, was doing.
Seguero passed away seven hundred years ago. The kingdoms on the continent of Kolai have risen and fallen countless times, but his descendants are still continuing, and the inheritance has not been interrupted. You can tell from the decoration and scale of the house that he is still wealthy today. Lu Yu
I think Segro should be very happy to know this.
"Yes, I am very interested in the summoning book collection left by your ancestor Segro. If you have it, you might as well take it out and let me look at it. If it is suitable, I will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
Lulu had never seen someone's expression change so quickly. Mrs. Riley, who was lying on the soft chair, sat up after hearing the "satisfactory price" and stared directly at Lu Yu, getting in front of Riley.
explain.
"That's rare summoning knowledge. Are you sure you can afford it?"
Lu Yu didn't care about Mrs. Riley's doubts at all, and took out a gold nugget from the large bowl that came with him and placed it on the table.
Riley stood up and left, while Mrs. Riley stood up with a smile. Soon after, Lulu, who was drinking fruit wine, had a lot of cakes in front of her. However, Lulu lost her appetite and didn't even bother to drink the fruit wine, so she handed it to her directly.
Give it to Lu Yu.
When the Rileys entered the basement, they didn't notice that a white mist followed behind them.
"I thought he was a poor scholar. I didn't expect him to be so rich. Did you see the gold nuggets he took out? The color is so perfect. Oh my god...he must have more!"
The arrogance on Mrs. Riley's face disappeared. She spoke and gestured with excitement.
"Who says it's not the case? We have met a fool. We use gold to buy a few shabby books, but we still summon such a rubbish school. I have never seen such a fool. Charlie has been mocking us for becoming a nouveau riche. Apart from having money, there is nothing else
If we don’t have the foundation, who says we don’t have it!”
Lu Yu was a little tired. He didn't want to continue dictating and writing, so he let the mist demon quietly return to him.
After a while, the Rileys returned to the hall with several yellowed books and several broken animal skin scrolls.
Mrs. Riley blurted out very naturally: "A gold grain can only show you. These things are treasures passed down from generation to generation by the Riley family and are not for sale."
Lulu clicked her tongue, unable to hold back after all.
She picked up an animal skin scroll and blew the ashes on it: "Where can I put the treasures passed down from generation to generation to eat so much ashes? Or is this the skin of a monster I don't know and it must be stored in the ashes?"
A lot of places?”
Lu Yu glanced twice, his body was trembling, and his breathing suddenly became heavy, as if he had seen the most incredible thing.
He couldn't control his expression and asked urgently: "Is this all?"
Shocked by Lu Yu's sudden change of expression, Riley was stunned for a while and then nodded in astonishment: "Everyone is here."
Lu Yu looked through all the books that Riley took out, then unfolded the scroll and looked at it, saying it was impossible.
Lu Yu took out a few more gold grains from the big bowl and placed them on the table: "Tell me where the rest of the book collection is."
Mrs. Riley ordered the servants to take away all the gold on the table, and then said with a smile: "The remaining books were either damaged in the war, or lost during the inheritance process. In short, in our generation, there are only so many.
."
Lulu teased: "Did someone just say that this is the treasure of the Riley family?"
Lu Yu looked at the book in his hand and the blurry notes on it, feeling heartbroken.
This is truly priceless and immeasurable knowledge!
At this time, he was like an archaeologist entering an ancient tomb, only to see that the tomb was full of traces left by tomb robbers. They pried away the bricks and stones, but destroyed the truly valuable and important things.
Something of archaeological significance.
Lu Yu never thought in his dreams that the miraculous idea that Orkus and himself talked about was right here.
In order to solve the problem of too weak combat ability, some summoners once tried to create a container that could temporarily seal the summons. This container would allow the summoner to use the summons in an emergency without performing a summoning ritual. In this way,
High-level summoners can store a large number of summons at once and maintain a certain number to deal with various emergencies.
This idea was called Pokémon flow by Lu Yu, because his first impression after hearing it was to make the container into a spherical shape that can be reduced or enlarged.
While everyone is pondering over the summons, this summoner who has taken a different approach is undoubtedly a genius.
However, Orkus didn’t know who came up with this idea and how far the final design was implemented, because he could not find any more manuscripts about this idea, let alone who was the first person to conceive it.
On which continent.
"Segro...it's actually you."
Lulu saw that Lu Yu was eager for these books and was already discussing the price with the Rileys.
Lu Yu couldn't help but feel sad for Seguero.
In fact, he learned many things through the adventurer on the way here.
Since Segro's death, none of his descendants have embarked on the path of summoning. Not only that, several generations have not taken the large collection of books he left seriously, and gave them to others as gifts when the family was at its lowest point.
.
Although the family who had a good relationship with the Riley family reminded them that the things Segro left behind were valuable, they still did not take it seriously. When the Riley family was in decline, they received too much cynicism, and even the Summoner ancestors were attacked.
This made them extremely sensitive, and they wanted to hide Seguero, the once famous ancestor of Collet.
Lu Yu had long learned from adventurers that the Rileys were out-and-out snobs who were only interested in profit and had neither good nor bad magic. Their status was not high, and they sharpened their heads to get high, so they often wore thick clothes.
Show your face at the banquet.
Few of Segro's descendants are human-like.
But Lu Yu didn't care about this, his idea was very simple. Segro had helped him. Even if he was a mouthpiece for world consciousness, it was still help.
Originally, the gold grains and coins in Lu Yu's big bowl were prepared for them, but now he changed his mind.
Lu Yu handed the collection of books and scrolls to Xu Yu, and turned around to leave in front of the dumbfounded Rileys.
The Rileys wanted to chase, but Lulu threw a little sun in the air. The moment the magic power leaked, the Rileys realized what a powerful magician they had just sat in front of them. It wasn't until the little sun's
The light disappeared and dissipated completely, but their legs were still weak.
Compared to Lu Yu's performance, Seguero acted extremely calm after hearing the current situation of his descendants.
"There is no need to be unworthy of me. They are my descendants. I'm not angry. Don't be angry either. It's not good for your health. I chose my path and they chose theirs. That's it. Let them do whatever they want.
Go ahead."
Lu Yu, who had finally calmed down, asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Did your idea succeed?"
"If it succeeds, will the Summoning Society decline to what it is today?" Segro chuckled, "I did everything a Summoner could do in that era, and that's enough."
Segro looked up at the sky, his sight penetrated countless summoning bubbles, and lamented: "The limit is right there, I can't cross it."
"Your descendants accidentally lost your manuscript..."
"You were so secretive just now that you didn't finish what you said. Let me tell you. It's not that I accidentally lost it, but that they didn't take those manuscripts seriously at all. You can also see from the manuscripts my original thoughts and what I have done.
If you have tried, it means you have at least got more than two manuscripts, which is enough to surprise me, I thought they had thrown away all my things."
Seguero stared at the sky blankly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Maybe this is destiny. If you didn't think about doing something for me as a spirit body, you wouldn't have seen those manuscripts."
"Perhaps, waking me up is one of the many possibilities he speculated?" Segro couldn't help but think at this time.
Lu Yu said tentatively: "You should be able to complete it."
Segro shook his head: "I was awakened by Him. Do you think He will allow me to reappear the lost knowledge in this way?"
"Lu Yu, the next era is coming. The level of magic power has been advanced to an unprecedented level. Many ideas will become reality. Many shackles will fall off. All schools of thought will bloom and return to the era when a hundred flowers bloomed. And you,
There is a chance to realize that idea. Regardless of whether it is realized in the form I envisioned, I always feel that a container that can store summoned objects and omit the time of the summoning ceremony can be made. No matter who will finally realize it, he will
Leave an important mark in the history of the summoning genre."
Seguero patted Lu Yu on the shoulder: "If you get it, it's yours. If you really find a way to achieve it, just sign your name for me in an inconspicuous corner. If one day the summoners pick you up
From the book he wrote, we can also know that on this road of resurgence, there was once a guy named Seguero who worked hard to pave the way for those who came after us. Unfortunately, his bricks were not enough and the road was not finished."
Lu Yu nodded heavily and raised his hand.
The excited Seguero didn't think there was anything wrong and high-fived Lu Yu.
In an instant, Lu Yu disappeared, and he was the only one left on the ruins of the Summoner's Temple.
Seguero was stunned for a long time, looked at his hands, and then laughed.
In reality, Lu Yu woke up and looked around blankly. He tried hard to recall, and then realized that shaking hands with Segro was equivalent to being teleported away from the Summoner's Temple.
"Who designed such a weird transmission method?" Lu Yu pretended not to know whose fault it was, and cursed into the void.
