Chapter 449 448. The 'Thread' of the New Summoning Template
Only one person is required to sit in the main tower of the Magic Clock Tower to have a panoramic view of the border area of the Dawn Territory. The security problem is solved, and the combat team members who need to rotate to patrol the territory can finally devote themselves to other tasks, effectively saving manpower.
After Lulu's simple on-the-job training, members of the combat team will take turns playing the role of night watchmen in the main tower. Of course, it depends on their work style. Lu Yu feels that this is similar to the old janitor watching the camera footage in the communication room of his school. Not much difference.
After finalizing the final plan for part of the interior of Dawnland Castle for Yucao, Lulu couldn't wait to take the two apprentices away and continue tinkering with her beloved potion.
It is said that Lulu gained a lot from this outing. The long-lost relaxation even gave her many wonderful pharmaceutical inspirations. Lu Yu was skeptical about these inspirations and only hoped that they would not bring the New Year atmosphere to Chenxi Tie.
After hastily entrusting the information related to Mirai to Sera, Lu Yu also got into his room and continued his research. He completely ignored Sera's expression of hesitation.
Lu Yu had failed seventy-three times, and Orkus had failed even more times. Unable to find a solution, he directly used the exhaustive method.
"I'm a bit stupid, but as long as you have enough time, you can always find the thread hidden behind the fog."
Orkus is very optimistic. He is now forty-two years old. If it takes ten years to open the door, then at the age of fifty he should still have enough energy to experience the new summoning technique.
He also joked that Lu Yu would be leaving for his third year in ten years, and he might have to take care of his family while studying summons. He was in a good mood and laughed at himself.
"Anyway, just don't treat your family like me... Haha, there shouldn't be many fools like me."
The frowning Orkus had torn up the scroll with the carved template before. Bread came over without saying a word, carefully helped him pick up the scroll fragments, and carefully put them together. That night, Bread specially cooked and fried them. A portion of mushroom fried rice was handed to Orkus who had forgotten all about sleep and food.
Looking at the traces of smoke left on Bun's young face, Orkus bit the bullet and ate the not-so-palatable fried rice. For the first time, he didn't complain about Bun's shockingly poor cooking skills. The depression in my heart caused by the lack of progress disappeared at that moment.
Since then, Orkus has calmed down, and Lu Yu can feel that the importance of something in his heart is catching up with the calling he has been immersed in for a long time.
Pacing in front of the wall covered with failed summon templates, Lu Yu seriously thought about the next step. If possible, he did not want to join the exhausting army.
The unlocked door creaked, revealing a gap, and Lulu's head poked out, her clear eyes shining brightly.
"has not rested yet?"
Facing Lulu who came to correct his routine, Lu Yu stopped, sighed, patted his face, and tried to bring his attention back from the call.
Lulu smiled coquettishly, pushed open the door, revealed the tray in her hand, and opened the lid. Small dark green bricks were built into a hill, exuding bursts of cool air.
"This is…"
"Hey, bean cake, the dark green color is the juice I extracted from the fresh-tasting ingredients. You are so busy thinking now, eat some before going to bed, and you can sleep more peacefully... You may not know that when I came back that day, Sai and I
La saw you frowning all the time, as if you had dreamed of something very scary, and later I heard from your babble that it was related to the summoned object..."
"Come on, come on, here is a cup of herbal medicine to soothe the nerves and help you sleep. Don't worry, it's definitely not bad to drink. I've already tried it!" Lulu pushed the cup filled with orange juice in front of Lu Yu, her face filled with anticipation.
It was as if he had been trying to solve Lulu's anorexia problem.
Lu Yu threw the bean cake into his mouth without hesitation, enjoying the delicate texture of the sand and feeling the sweetness that echoed on the tip of his tongue. The sweetness seemed to slide into his heart along with his body fluids.
The naughty night breeze made the summoning templates on the wall dance. Lulu then used her magic power to close the window, floated up from the chair, and looked at the failed products all over the wall.
"Can't it be used?"
Lu Yu took a sip of the herbal medicine and shook his head: "The effect is far from what I want."
He put down the cup and continued: "Since the summoning change, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any unique power. I know that the key to the problem lies in the template connected to the summoning ritual, but the template..."
Lu Yu had a bitter look on his face: "Adding a stroke, missing a stroke, the difference in characterization, even the speed of magic injection, and the order in which magic nodes are triggered may be the key to the problem... Without any prompts, I haven't been able to find it yet.
That crucial 'thread'."
Lulu made a distressed sound, and reminded hesitantly: "Sela is very knowledgeable in magic circles. You...maybe you can seek her help."
Lu Yu didn't think this was a problem with the magic circle. In the last era, he and Orkus relied on past summoning templates, fumbled for improvements, and finally found a suitable one.
If all the previous templates are not reference-friendly, then what he needs to face is to expand the template almost from scratch.
"Are all the templates from the previous era invalid?"
"It can be said that." Lu Yu pointed to the wall, "among them is the template I provided to Meira when I was immersed in the disaster. According to Milai, some people are using the template failure as a weapon to attack my character.
"
Lulu, who really couldn't give Lu Yu much help on the topic of summoning, felt helpless. When she saw Xu Yu hanging upside down on the ceiling, she floated over in the same posture, and as usual, happily pulled Xu Yu's little wings.
.
There were two big bats in his bedroom, which looked too evil. Lu Yu drank the bean cakes and herbs, determined to listen to the advice and restore a healthy routine.
"Lu Yu..."
"What's wrong?"
"I suddenly thought..."
Lu Yu noticed that Lulu was squirming and looking at the door that had been closed by the night breeze at some point. Lu Yu's heart beat faster. His eyes couldn't help but focus on Lulu's pink lips and rosy little lips under the lighting crystal.
Face.
Just as he was shouting for restraint in his heart, Lulu said: "Have you ever tried to reverse the summoning template?"
"Conversely...conversely means, upside down?"
"It can also be left or right. These are not symmetrical templates, are they?"
Lu Yu simply turned into a big bat, stepped on the ceiling, and stared at the summoning templates on the wall: "I have been trying the summoning templates you provided me, but I have never tried to reverse the depiction. This sounds very strange.
Counter-intuitive.”
Lulu said: "For a moment just now, I was thinking that if the world consciousness has changed the summons, then it must hope that you can discover it and expand this new power as soon as possible to develop more applications.
Way."
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment. Since Lulu had provided a lot of effective assistance based on intuition along the way, he decided to give it a try.
Flip the summoning template left and right, inject magic through completely different paths, and communicate the summoning ritual.
The magic power rushing into the sea was unrestrained. Lu Yu, who controlled these dragons entering the sea, carefully completed the connection with the summoning ceremony in a way that violated his past spell-casting habits.
Lulu clenched her fists and silently prayed for Lu Yu.
However, the moment the summoning light came on, Lu Yu smiled helplessly.
A giant python was entrenched in the bedroom. Its body was so huge that he had to retract his raised head, spit out the letter, and put his head close to Lu Yu.
"Regular summons... I have paid the price, let's leave."
Lulu was a little disappointed. She thought her unintentional words could give Lu Yu the key to solving the mystery. She was even ready to share the joy with Lu Yu...
"Don't look like this, I'm used to it." Lu Yu reached out and touched Lulu's cheek, feeling the temperature in his palm. He smiled, "I still have time, no matter how deep he hides this power.
, I will definitely find it out!”
Lulu still didn't give up: "How about... be bolder and reverse the entire summoning template's depiction and magic injection!"
Lu Yu opened his mouth slightly, smiled, and then complied with Lulu's request.
Because a massive amount of magic power quickly poured into Lu Yu's body, the lighting crystals in the room flickered on and off, flashing dazzlingly.
Lulu shielded the lighting crystal and summoned the fire element at will...
"Lulu, are you here?"
Sera's voice made Lulu tremble for no reason. She didn't know why she felt guilty and panicked, but it was precisely at this moment of distraction that the fireball condensed in the palm of her hand suddenly expanded, snatching away the energy that should have flowed to the summoning ceremony.
magic.
The sudden cutoff drained all the magic power from Lu Yu's body in an instant. Drenched in sweat, he relied on his rich experience to barely keep the ritual from collapsing, and continued with difficulty until it was completed.
Lulu's fireball exuded a fiery aura. If Xu hadn't quickly collected the surrounding manuscripts and isolated the bookcase, this sudden surprise would have caused a series of chain reactions.
"I'm sorry, I...I..."
Lu Yu didn't worry at first. After experiencing too many failures, his mentality had long been as calm as Orcus's.
What could be more important than Lulu?
"Dong dong..."
"Dong dong..."
Lu Yu's heartbeat sounded like a drum, echoing in the quiet room. The magic power surged out of his body along with the dense drum beat, and he rushed towards the summoning ceremony that was still taking shape.
Lulu, with quick eyes and quick hands, stuck directly to Lu Yu's body and shared the loss with her magic power.
But the extraction of magic power was fierce and disappeared extremely quickly.
The constantly rotating black vortex sucked the fireball that Lulu held in mid-air into the ritual bit by bit, and the surging fire element magic was torn into pieces by the invisible power.
In the astonished gazes of the three people, the human figure curled up in the fireball emerged during the summoning ceremony.
The summoning ceremony connected with Lu Yu was unprecedentedly active, greedily absorbing magic power from all directions.
The sound of the heart rising and falling became more intense. This time, it was not Lu Yu's heartbeat.
