Chapter 560 558. Give people from other continents a little summoning shock
The first time he arrived at Canret Continent, Jeffrey took two backpacks to the local guide and boat owner to buy new charts.
On the way from Gurwell to Canret, unmarked islands and reefs appeared constantly. It was very difficult to rely solely on the sense of direction and navigation intuition. Jeffrey had to confirm the latest sea state information.
When they separated, Lu Yu asked Jeffrey for a few silver coins to enter the local adventurer's guild or tavern to inquire about the summoning information on the Canlet continent.
Unlike Guwell, the local summons showed no signs of recovery at all. The exploration of summon templates tended to stagnate here. Many magicians on the island lost interest and gave up after being unable to gain entry.
Unfortunately, time was too short, otherwise Lu Yu would have been interested in finding someone locally who was persistent in summoning, and giving him a template to start a new era of summons in this continent.
Time passed by in the afternoon. Lu Yu had already eaten two meals of grilled fish in the tavern, but did not wait for Jeffrey to come back. This made the three people in the chat room say it was so slow.
"What happened to Jeffrey?" Lulu muttered as she stuffed barbecue into her mouth.
"His two backpacks are both alchemy and refining materials, so the replacement process is probably more cumbersome." Sera said, "Bartering has always been like this. Let's wait a little longer."
Lu Yu squinted his eyes and dozed off. It was already night in a blink of an eye. The adventurers who had gone out to carry out the commission entered the shop with a big smile and the bounty they had just received. The originally deserted tavern suddenly became noisy, and the noisy voices filled every room.
corner.
The noise made Lu Yu unable to sit still when he woke up. Just when he was about to get up and ask the bartender what he wanted, a group of knights led by a magician suddenly appeared outside the tavern.
The leading magician carried his staff behind his back, looked around in a condescending manner at the drunkards who had gradually become quiet due to his presence, and then asked slowly: "Who knows the guide Jeffrey here?"
The guests looked at each other, and Lu Yu stood up slowly in the corner.
"I know, what happened?"
The young magician glanced at Lu Yu and waved his hands displeased: "Take off his mask, tie him up, and take him away!"
The two knights put their hands on their swords and approached Lu Yu step by step.
Lu Yu didn't like the arrogant attitude and condescending tone. He raised a tentacle slightly and asked in a low voice: "I want to know what happened to Jeffrey. Why did you arrest me?"
"Want to resist?" The young magician saw the bulge under Lu Yu's robe that was waving like an arm. He sneered, "This is the city of Canlet's school. A large number of schools have established workshops and libraries here. You know
Are there any consequences for resisting the Knights of the Guard here?"
"Foolish stranger, arrest him!"
The bodies of the two knights rose into the air and flew towards the direction of the young man. They rolled like sandbags after landing. They did not stop until their companions reached out to help relieve the force.
"He is indeed a barbarian from another continent who dares to assassinate and rob at the trade fair. Hayate, strip him of his demon..."
Before he finished speaking, the young magician's body also rose into the air, as if his throat was being strangled by a pair of invisible hands. His legs kept shaking, his hands were waving randomly, and his face turned the color of pig liver in a moment.
The whole tavern was in chaos, and they were running away for fear of being involved.
Lu Yu did not strangle the magician directly. He still needed to find out what happened to Jeffrey.
"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough, how dare you... cough cough, how dare you attack..."
The tsunami-like magic power instantly overwhelmed the young magician, leaving only horror on his face.
"Assassination and robbery, explain these two points to me clearly, otherwise I don't mind killing you directly and asking others. This is the most time-saving plan for me." Lu Yu said, "I would like to call it efficient."
The cold words stunned the young magician who was still trying to be tough. He trembled, trying to maintain his previous arrogance, and snorted angrily: "Your companion killed the magician who also came to exchange at the fair, and took away
The opponent's materials have now been seized on the spot by the victimized school, and the stolen goods have been obtained. As an accomplice, if you are still stubborn, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of Canret."
While pressing the young magician to the fair, the three of them all felt that it was unreasonable for Jeffrey to do this.
"Do you believe it?"
Lulu asked in the chat room.
Serra immediately replied: "I don't believe it anyway. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, Jeffrey is a very principled person. The reputation accumulated over decades is ironclad evidence. People on the streets of Goodwill are willing to put their character on the line."
Giving him a high score on this item speaks volumes."
"The method of bartering is destined to be private in the form of trade fairs. Killing people in such a place, and there are many magicians around... No one with a normal IQ would do this."
He kidnapped the magicians of the school, attacked the patrolling knights, and broke into the trade fair where magicians gathered. The news seemed to have wings and spread quickly throughout this coastal city-state. Many magicians of the school were watching the excitement and did not take it too seriously.
They rushed to the scene one after another.
In the castle garden where the trade fair was held, Lu Yu met Jeffrey, who was stuffed into a specially made magic-breaking cage by the magician of the school.
"I'm innocent. I didn't do anything. I just completed the deal and saw the body when I walked around a corner. It's really just like this." Seeing Lu Yu, hope rekindled in the eyes of Jeffrey, who was looking depressed.
Prisoner yelled, "Just because they were the first to find the body, they accused me of doing it, but I really didn't!"
Although he didn't know why he had to participate in the trade fair to get new chart information, Lu Yu didn't intend to dwell on it.
He looked at every magician present who was secretly mobilizing their magic power, snorted coldly, and released the hostages in their hands.
"You guys from a different continent, since you don't understand the rules of the city of Canret School, I can reluctantly forgive your offense, but you must stay and wait for everything to be investigated."
A young woman who looked like a trade fair organizer, wearing a white robe and exquisite makeup, stepped forward.
"If the investigation reveals that you are not directly related to this assassination, the city of schools will definitely let you go."
"What do you call it?" Lu Yu asked.
"Valerie."
"Well, Ms. Valerie, I only want to ask three points." Lu Yu raised a finger, "First, is there any evidence to prove that my companion Jeffrey carried out this assassination?"
"This is still under investigation."
While talking, more magicians came to the castle. Some were watching the fun, while others were hidden law enforcers who secretly locked their magic power on Lu Yu.
"Secondly, did my companion Jeffrey have any reason to kill the victim?"
"The precious materials that the victim magician brought to the trade fair that day were found in his backpack. It was also a rare 'core' of alienated magic that was condensed after death." Valerie said, "This is the reason for wanting money.
That should make sense, right?"
"I was framed. One of my backpacks was already empty when I came here. The replacement chart and sea state information drained my material. I could easily feel the weight of the backpack. There couldn't be any objects, but they searched hard.
You said I have an extra valuable material in my backpack!" Jeffrey defended hoarsely, fearing that Lu Yu would be swayed, "You believe me!"
"Then that's the last point." Lu Yu nodded slightly to Jeffrey, telling him to calm down. "On the way here, I heard that the magician who died was also a sixth-level magician with rich practical experience. The cause of his death was
Fatal injury caused by a sharp weapon on the chest."
Lu Yu said: "I understand that I don't want to use magic because I don't want to alarm too many people, but would a magician with rich practical experience and the same level as my companion be unable to defend against attacks launched in person... Also, where is the murder weapon?
Have you looked for it? Where is it?"
"Since he dared to commit murder on such an occasion, he has naturally thought about how to get rid of the murder weapon. It is not difficult for a magician to do this." The magician next to Valerie said sadly, "Don't make excuses.
There was a dispute, and if someone hadn't found the body not far from him at almost the same time, he wouldn't have shown a panicked look and proactively informed him that a murder had occurred."
There were many magicians who agreed with this statement, and all of them were filled with righteous indignation and demanded that Jeffrey be brought to justice immediately. By the way, Lu Yu was also arrested and interrogated.
No one mentioned evidence, witnesses, as if that was not part of the process at all.
Lu Yu understood.
"My companion is not the murderer. As for who is... you can investigate on your own. I want to take him away now. I have urgent matters."
Valerie originally wanted to be a peacemaker and calm down the magicians around her who had already made up their minds, but after hearing Lu Yu's words, she couldn't help but feel disgusted with him.
"Your Excellency seems not to understand what we are saying."
"No, it's because you didn't understand what I said. I wasn't asking for your opinion. I was just being polite first and then fighting."
Lu Yu's figure dragged out afterimages in the air. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the cage made of broken magic stone. His powerful tentacles grabbed the two railings and pushed them hard. Jeffrey then squeezed through the bend.
came out.
This sudden scene shocked all the magicians present. They did not expect that someone would dare to use magic power to attack the cage in full view of the public.
Grab it openly?
Lu Yu stuffed a scroll into Jeffrey and warned: "Run in the direction I pointed. If you encounter a bunch of troublesome guys chasing you, trigger it and it will work."
"run!"
Jeffrey looked at the vast number of magicians not far away, and knew that he had no choice. He gritted his teeth and activated his magic force, causing a gust of wind.
"The prisoner has escaped, stop him!"
Lu Yu stepped forward and used his briquette body to block several spells directed at Jeffrey. His tentacles kept waving, and the summoning ceremony was already taking shape.
"People of the Shadow Kingdom, rise up, I need chaos, bring chaos to me!"
The earth shook continuously, and the shadow stone giant regarded the earth as a drum and kept beating it.
The shadow substitute unpreparedly made a slit in the waist of each magician, causing them to bleed silently without realizing it.
The Headless Horseman shuttled among the magicians, watching these people who did not dare to cast spells at will because they were worried about accidentally injuring friendly troops, and they ran freely. The spears in their hands instantly killed several cavalry who wanted to compare their riding skills with them.
The shadow mage half exposed his head, waving his staff and spitting out black smoke that obscured his vision.
For a time, the scene was in chaos, with the situation becoming indistinguishable between ourselves and the enemy.
"This person is a summoner, kill him directly!"
Some of the magicians present had already reacted, pointing their swords at Lu Yu himself.
Facing the oncoming magic, Lu Yu lightly snapped his fingers, and the Shadow Stone Giant, which was facing the limit of damage, exited, and the Demon-Eating Tree appeared.
"Hatch them for me, as many as you can!"
The Creator's command was God, and the Demon-Eating Tree exerted all its strength, opening its huge mouth to face the surrounding magic. The incoming magic ate up the sea, and a large number of large eyeballs hatched out of its scarred body.
"Indiscriminate bombing!"
The big, lively eyes turned into self-destruction trucks and rushed straight into the crowd. Those who tried to use magic to stop its "pace" experienced the big explosion and the rancid mucus spewing onto their bodies for the first time.
For a moment, the scene was filled with stench, fog was rising, people and animals could not be distinguished five meters away, and the chaotic magic made the positioning a joke.
The magicians of the school who were watching the excitement did not escape the disaster. The Devil-Eating Tree was so capable of "growing" that the eyeball fruits one after another broke through the magicians in the front row and went straight to the edge, causing even greater commotion.
.
More than a hundred magicians at the scene were actually teased by a small summoner like this. They no longer cared about the truth, and now they just wanted to kill Lu Yu and be quick.
"Follow me, even if we go out to sea, we have to chase you, otherwise our face will be lost!"
"In the future, when magicians from other continents mention Canret, they will probably regard it as a joke!"
Through the information provided by the witnesses, a group of unwilling magicians rushed out to sea with red eyes, trying to locate Lu Yu's location by following the remaining magic power.
A girl with outstretched wings, with eyeballs and sharp teeth all over her wings, suddenly appeared on the vast sea, leaving the pursuing magicians of Canret schools stunned.
The surroundings suddenly became dark, and the girl seemed to be the only one in their sight.
She walked lightly toward the crowd, but her body dissolved little by little, and her facial features collapsed to her shoulders, chest, and even her thighs. The number of monsters exactly like her increased exponentially, filling every corner of her vision little by little.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Screams of fear arose one after another. The magicians who were frightened crazy by this ugly and terrifying sight kept retreating, but suddenly felt like they were falling without weight. The next second, the cold seawater slapped on their bodies that were covered in cold sweat.
At some point, they fell into the sea water.
The few magicians who had not been tricked looked at their nervous performance inexplicably, and couldn't help but gulp down, full of fear for the unknown girl in front of them.
The girl turned sideways in a joking manner and cast a sidelong glance at everyone, and then disappeared into the air like a trace of ink.
"How can he summon so many summons at the same time and so frequently? Doesn't magic consumption exist?"
"Is this... something that summoning can do?"
"When did summoning become so powerful...shouldn't it be an impenetrable school of thought?"
