A very decent answer, explaining the reason, giving enough face, and laying the groundwork. Without the last sentence, everything would appear so coordinated.
Even though Lu Yu himself didn't think this sentence was offensive, when it fell into the ears of the guests, it took on a different flavor.
Viscount Duvel, this young and impulsive young man faced countless looks. He didn't know whether he was angry at being looked down upon or excited about being noticed. He threw out a word through his teeth.
"Summon Duel."
The hall fell silent.
Zenil, Tanya and Sera, who predicted the direction of things, were not surprised that Duvel would say this. He is a very easy-to-understand person, young and energetic, and will not miss any opportunity to show himself.
There is a clear difference between summoner duel and summoner duel. If you want to compare it, the former is a cricket battle, and the latter is a Pokémon battle, and it is also a Pokémon battle in which the trainer can personally participate.
Orkus introduced to Lu Yu that when the summoning school appeared, the history of summoned duels also began.
There are two types of common duel rules, one is open combat and the other is secret combat.
Ming Dou refers to two summoners summoning the strongest summons they can summon, and letting the summons fight without instructions from the summoners. The situation is exactly like throwing two people into the Colosseum in ancient Rome. Whose...
Whoever summons the object to the end will be the winner.
Dark fighting is full of black humor. This is a gameplay that still has a very broad audience after the decline of the summoning genre.
Using a unified summoning template, without drawing or describing, using randomly obtained summons to duel, it can be understood as a card drawing duel. Because of the randomness, the cricket fighting is more enjoyable, and the secret fight has also given birth to a huge chain of interests. In addition to gambling,
In addition, in order to satisfy the abnormal desires of some people who are extremely bored, irregular secret fights have even been derived, that is, duels that allow the use of suicidal tactics such as overpayment. There is no winner in this kind of duel, the loser will definitely die, and the winner will
Even if you are lucky enough to survive the moment the price is paid, you will not receive mercy from the bettors and bookmakers. Being eaten by wild wolves is the most common and best end.
No one wants to fight in secret without rules, but powerful people have various ways to force you to fight.
Summon templates were not uncommon in that era, and the surviving schools still had universal templates, so as long as you knew a little bit of magic, you could "participate" in secret fights without rules.
Therefore, some people modify it and say that the large-scale witch hunt against the summoning school is actually a kind of protection for low-level magicians and normal summoners. After all, rotten and smelly roots cannot grow towering trees.
But it is a pity that summons duel is still one of the means for the nobles to have fun. Irregular secret fights still exist, but they have become hidden and difficult to trace. After the decline of the summoning genre, those hunters with a strong sense of justice have
Very few actions are organized against this behavior anymore.
Sierra gently twisted a piece of puff pastry on the table and put it into her mouth, chewing hard. If she didn't do this, she was afraid she would laugh out loud.
She saw Lu Yu questioning her with his eyes, so she nodded slightly at him.
Fight, fight! She has long been dissatisfied with Adela. She is lustful, thick-skinned, and is still entangled with herself. If it were not for the identity of God's Chosen, Sera would definitely press his head into the explosive dust prepared by Lulu.
, give him a little magic power, and watch him bloom in the sky full of fire.
Lu Yu had no reason to refuse. From the conversation, he learned that Duvel was actually a fifth-level magician. Although there was a rank gap between them, Lu Yu felt that this would be a showdown without any suspense.
Zenil walked down. As the protagonist of today's banquet, he accepted the duo's duel application as the host, and invited them to the courtyard specifically for magicians to practice.
In view of the certain risks associated with the duel between summoned objects, most of the audience had to watch in the mansion through the light curtain projected by the magicians. A few lucky ones got a seat by the window to watch directly. Among the guests, there were noble status and good strength.
People can naturally watch it from the position closest to the scene.
Lu Yu and Duvel were already in place, and the professor from Solon Royal Academy of Magic personally acted as the referee. He floated in mid-air, accepted the duel, and the two saluted him, and then announced the rules of the duel.
Ming Dou, overpayment is not allowed and there is no time limit.
Zenil Shiran walked up to Sera, secretly sniffed Sera's delicious aroma, and asked: "Mr. Lu Yu is only a fourth-level magician, aren't you worried?"
Low-level suitors were left to Lu Yu to deal with, while Sera had to brace up and face people like Zenil in person.
"Ten Duvels may not be Lu Yu's opponent."
"Is it a bit exaggerated?"
Seeing Sera looking at him strangely, Zenil asked suspiciously: "Am I wrong?"
"I said ten, which is very conservative."
Zenil smiled gentlemanly: "You mean, the power he gained from studying summons is even better than those scholars?"
"You misunderstood again. What I mean is that in a duel involving life and death, Duvel will definitely die."
The firm words made Zenil's expression become serious and no longer relaxed as before.
Tanya came closer at some point and heard the whole conversation. She clapped her hands and said, "In that case, how about a bet between the Emperor and the Divine Chosen?"
Zeniel looked at Sera.
"Sir Middleton has a set of unique copies of summons that have been collected by many people. If I win, I will take that one."
Zenil's smile was a little stiff. Sera obviously wanted this unique set of books for Lu Yu.
"I won, and I invited Sera, the Chosen One, to have dinner with me."
Serra said disapprovingly: "Please ask your butler to go and get the original copy from Sir Middleton now. Maybe I can take it with me when I leave."
The summons has begun. At each window of the mansion, the guests are no longer the gentlemen they were before. Even the reserved ladies are standing on tiptoes and stretching their necks, eager to see the duel of summons presided over by the prince.
Dazzling white light flashed above Duvel's head, which made the guests who only looked at the surface cheer.
Lu Yu, who could see the iconic vortex of the summoning ceremony, already knew about Duvel's summons. He couldn't help but cover his face and sighed.
The white light dissipated, the summoned object fell to the ground, and the nobles in the mansion exclaimed.
This is a big dark tree, with countless green eyeballs hanging on the branches that should be dotted with countless leaves. They are constantly turning, and their slightly narrowed eyeballs seem to be laughing at everyone around them. And the one at the root of the tree
The huge mouth of the abyss is constantly opening and closing, and the surrounding magic power fluctuates with the rhythm of its opening and closing.
Duvel opened his hands and proudly announced to the people around him: "This is the summoning object I summoned not long ago. He has never been found in the known summoning map, even the most knowledgeable summons in the empire.
A brand-new discovery that also shocked scholars. Look, look, look at his terrifying eyes, look at his holes hidden under the skin that can spit out magic, and this strong and upright figure. Mr.
Ladies and gentlemen, this great summons that was supposed to be brewed and released later appears in front of you now!"
The guests were excited. They were shocked by the ugliness and deformity of this summoned object. The densely packed eyes made everyone lose the desire to eat, and the fear deep in their hearts was aroused, turning into the purest disgust for this summoned object.
But people's curiosity is too strong. Even if they feel uncomfortable, they still work hard to overcome it and carefully look at every part of the summoned object.
Some people reminded their companions to pay attention to Lu Yu's expression.
Lu Yu covered his eyes, looking like his psychological defenses had been defeated and about to collapse, which made the guests laugh. After all, this glutton could not stabilize his good mentality.
Chihong, who was protecting Tanya, felt a very obvious magical suppression aura. In other words, this tree had the ability to restrain magic.
"Chihong, do you feel danger?"
"Your Highness, this tree is not only ugly, it seems to be full of malice towards the magician."
"Have you ever heard of such a summons before?"
"Such a deformed thing is unheard of."
The tree that looks exactly like the one summoned actually bears fruit again. Maybe this is a special signal.
Tanya looked at Duvel in surprise, and the thought of wooing him suddenly arose in her heart.
Zenil suddenly smiled politely and proudly. He caught a glimpse of Sera's inadvertent expression of shock and responded to what he just said: "Perhaps Sera can think about what to eat for dinner. I will let the chef do it now."
Prepare."
Sera didn't speak. Although he didn't know how Duvel summoned this summoned object, she still didn't think Lu Yu would lose, but it would be more difficult to win.
The professor from Solon Royal Academy of Magic sympathized with Lu Yu. After waiting for a long time, he saw Lu Yu remove his hands from his face and look directly at the evil summons summoned by Duvel. Then he slowly reminded Lu Yu that it was time to summon.
.
At the same time, the professor asked Duwell: "Does your summon have a name?"
"Master Cuckoo named it 'Broken Eye'."
Lu Yu sighed again.
What a Broken Eye, this name is worse than the Demon-Eating Tree that I named myself.
It should have been thought of long ago that the Flesh Chariot can already be summoned by other summoners, so the Demon-Eating Tree that was banned together with it will naturally be unblocked.
Lu Yu did not expect that his Demon-Eating Tree would be summoned by such a summoner. The world would beat gongs and drums to declare his sovereignty over the Demon-Eating Tree, and he would be proud of it.
What is this? Your work has been plagiarized, and the other party is shouting at you all over the world with your plagiarized work. Now you are going to use your own work to blast yourself...
Orkus could guess that the appearance of the summoned object meant that there were other potential creators, or that the same creature as the summoned object was born. The cuckoo master who named it did not mention this, as if he was bitten by
The appearance of the magic tree went to his head.
"Your Excellency Lu Yu, it's your turn."
Duvel, who thought he had a chance to win, helped the referee remind Lu Yu again.
While Lu Yu took out the summoning manual, his eyes wandered around the Demon-Eating Tree. The Demon-Eating Tree gently swayed its branches covered with eyeballs and greeted Lu Yu.
"Sure enough, you and Flesh Chariot are not like that two-and-a-half-year-old piano guy."
Lu Yu smiled and flipped through the summoning manual.
"Which one should you choose to open your eyes without being too cruel?"
After a moment he said: "Why don't you let me come?"
"Sela will definitely accuse me when you show up. She managed to put on a disguise for you, so just stay alone for now."
The page of the book freezes and the summoning ceremony begins.
In the black vortex that no one saw except Lu Yu, a book fell to the ground, and then expanded and became two stories high.
The college professor who was the referee had a sharp eye and noticed that this book seemed to be very similar to the pamphlet in Lu Yu's hand.
After Duvel summoned him, he actively heated up the atmosphere. Lu Yu finished the summons without saying a word. This made many people more willing to support Duvel and more willing to believe that the Demon-Eating Tree was a new summoned object with contemporary significance.
As for Lu Yu’s book...I really don’t see anything great about it.
"Are both parties ready?"
Lu Yu and Du Wei both stayed away from their summons.
"Then, let's get started."
As soon as they finished speaking, both of them issued attack orders to the summoned objects, and then let them fight according to their own ideas.
As Lu Yu's fourth summon, the book flipped rapidly, and the surrounding magic was drawn and quickly gathered into its body.
Realizing that Lu Yu's summons was planning to release magic, Duvel felt happy.
When the colorful magic burst out from the pages of the book, Duvel shouted jokingly: "The Broken Eye can absorb magic, your magic will only become its food, stupid!"
The feeling of being sure of victory, watching his opponent step into the trap step by step, and then mocking him in one breath was too wonderful. After finishing his words, Duvel's body felt light and airy.
Lu Yu looked at the Demon-Eating Tree with a smile, just smiling but saying nothing.
The Demon-Eating Tree trembled, silently closed its open mouth, and then threw out a bunch of eyeballs to attack Lu Yu's book summons.
The rolling eyes were obviously not as fast as the magic that was coming at him. In the blink of an eye, the Demon-Eating Tree was covered by the magic that fell like a rainstorm. Its body became riddled with holes, and the magic that maintained its existence began to collapse at this moment.
.
"That's right. It's not a life-and-death battle between summoners that makes you betray your own summoner."
Through Orkus, Lu Yu already knew that the greatest favor given to him by the summoned creature he created was not to kill him. No matter what Orkus ordered, the flesh and blood chariot would not execute it. This final blow could only
Completed by Orcus himself.
The same is true for the Demon-Eating Tree, but today is a showdown between summons, not a life-or-death battle between two people. Therefore, the Demon-Eating Tree faced its own creator and played a fake match without any acting skills, leaving a group of confused audiences staring.
Small eyes.
Duvel looked at the demon-devouring tree in astonishment as it gradually dissipated. After a while, he shouted in confusion and anger: "Broken Eye, why don't you absorb his magic power? What on earth are you doing!"
The eyes of the Demon-Eating Tree that had not dissipated all showed innocent looks, which made Duvel feel desperate.
Only then did he let out his big words, describing the Broken Eye as a great creation over and over again, and victory seemed to be within easy reach.
But now he lost, like a clown who performed comedy for the nobles.
Lu Yu patted his No. 4 summoned object [Book of Knowledge] with satisfaction. The ability of this summoned object that has just passed the world consciousness review is that it can release a large number of magic replicas learned by the summoner himself, although the power is lower than normal release.
, but the qualitative change brought about by quantity is amazing.
Of course, its shortcomings are also obvious. The Book of Knowledge cannot move normally. Its only function is to transform into a large fort to drain Lu Yu's magic power and suppress the enemy from a long distance.
