When they returned to the manor where the players were resting, the maid in the lobby reminded them with a smile.
Seeing the maid return to rummage behind the counter, Herola showed a meaningful expression. She gradually turned into a melon-eating lover and peeked at the expressions of the three of them curiously.
During the Star Reacher Competition, dignitaries from all over the world gathered together. With their families in tow, they were admiring the wonderful battles brought by the magicians on the field while thinking about recruiting talents, and marriage was an important part of it.
The offensive is often not initiated by them themselves, but by the younger generation of the same age.
After Serra's two hearty victories in the group stage, letters expressing strong interest in her piled up like snowflakes in the storage boxes of the maids.
Among them, some of them are implicit and some love words are written, and some of them are explicit. Even if Lu Yu's world can pass the review, it is a luxury.
Not only Sera, but Lulu and Herola also received a lot, but Lu Yu didn't get any.
"It's strange that someone actually wrote you a letter." Sera clicked her tongue in surprise, "Did you get a letter from Alegre again?"
"No." Lu Yu said blankly, "Do I also have admirers?"
"Does anyone really admire you? Let me question it first."
Lulu blinked her eyes. She wanted to point at herself and shout, "There is one right here," but after thinking about it, she shyly swallowed her words.
The maid behind the counter was sweating on her forehead, and as she rummaged harder, she almost hit the small bronze ornament next to her.
"It's strange...why isn't there? Tammy, come and take a look."
The maid who was called came in response. She looked at the record sheet and said in confusion: "How could it be possible...it can't be wrong."
"Can I ask what happened?"
The two maids bowed in panic and apologized: "I'm really sorry. It's really strange. Your letter is on the record form and has been stored in a separate box, but for some reason, the letter has disappeared."
Lu Yu understood the fear in their eyes. As a servant assigned to every manor by the Star Reacher Competition, once he is complained for a mistake, he will inevitably be held responsible.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu thoughtfully helped them out: "Maybe he remembered someone else's name to me by mistake. Let's look for it again. It doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's just a letter. It shouldn't be a very important letter.
"
The two maids bowed desperately and thanked them. When Lu Yu and others left, they started rummaging again and were still muttering, "I clearly remember that it was a letter from Mr. Bass who can summon me. How could I not have it?"
Back in the room, Sierra immediately covered her mouth and snickered: "Are you disappointed that there are no more admirers?"
"I don't know if it's a misunderstanding. Besides, it's not enough for me to have you. I don't care if I have admirers or something."
Lulu, who was rolling around on the big bed, rolled up a corner of the quilt and packed herself into a spring roll. With only one head exposed, she kicked her little feet and said cheerfully: "Two people are going to fight for Sera in the next game."
When you compete, will this be the continuation of the Cavaliers' duel? I'm looking forward to it."
Sera said disapprovingly: "If that guy was in our group, it would be me who would wake him up from daydreaming. I can only say that it is easier for Lu Yu... I don't know if you can do it."
Sera's attention has been attracted to Lulu. How can she be so cute when she is rolling around and turning into a mealworm!
Before Lu Yu could say the words he had prepared, there was a gentle knock on the courtyard door, and the buzzing sound of the metal fence lingered.
"Come, come, who are you?"
Herola greeted her. A woman was holding several scrolls, and two or three publications nodded slightly towards her: "This is Leif, the secretary of the "Star Reacher Observation Room". Our publication would like to conduct an exclusive interview with Mr. Bass.
I don’t know if he is willing.”
Wearing a dark green gold-rimmed cloak, the lining of the underwear is simple milky white, and the light black waist tight trousers make Leif's outfit look capable and refreshing, and she actually has a bit of the charm of the reporters in Lu Yu's previous life.
In the courtyard, Lu Yu and Leif sat opposite each other. After taking a symbolic sip of the tea made by Sera, she took out Lu Yu's portrait and placed it next to the white paper on which she was about to write the text. She raised her hand and smiled slightly.
I tidied up my somewhat messy temples and officially got into the mood.
"Before I came here, it was widely rumored that you are the strongest summoner in this competition, and you have already broken the best record for summoners in the Star Reacher Competition. I don't know how you feel about this.
?”
"Sooner or later, time will bring a summoner to appear on this stage. I just happen to be here and the one who happens to go the furthest. In fact, maybe it's not just Durderan, but also in other continents and other regions.
, at the same moment, many records are being broken due to the revival of summons, and the group of summoners is rising again, which is an inevitable trend."
Ms. Leif, who asked very official questions and behaved very professionally, did not write very quickly. It seemed that she did not have the habit of sketching, or perhaps she did not lower her head even when recording, but kept looking at Lu Yu.
, because of blind writing?
"Can you introduce your summons to those who are curious about the summoning technique? Generally speaking, the one that everyone is most interested in at the moment should be the black summons you used in the preliminaries."
"Those are some special shadow summons, originating from the summoning ritual called templates. Different from the basic summoning rituals that are commonly used here, some areas I have traveled have focused on the new summons formed after the rise of this summoning.
In terms of strength, I can only say that each has its own strengths, and I look forward to the collision with the local summoners."
"Do you know that you are being noticed by Black Flash Ellegor? She appeared at the scene today for the first time and specially admired your battle. In addition, I wonder how Ellegor's summons looks in the eyes of you who specializes in summoning?
"
Lu Yu thought about it for a while and replied: "It is naturally a bit of an honor to be noticed by a popular magician in Durdelan. As for her summons... I think if she chooses to specialize, she may not be able to achieve impressive results.
Achievement."
Leif's hand paused for a moment, but then recovered immediately.
There seemed to be stars flashing in her bright and moving eyes. She stared at Lu Yu for a long time. She smiled and lowered her head: "What a watertight answer. Then the next is also a question about summons. Now that summons has re-emerged, if there is
Opportunity, do you plan to be the first person to be summoned, take knowledge in your hands, and establish a new school of your own?"
Sera, who was listening, immediately frowned, and Lulu simply clicked her tongue.
This kind of question has some malicious elements, and I don’t know what it will look like if it is taken out of context.
Fortunately, this is not Mela, otherwise we would have stopped talking for the day.
"I would rather see Summoning begin to revive in a real sense, and be on the same stage as other sects." Lu Yu did not get angry, but responded calmly, "In the past thousands of years, Summoning has declined, and Summoners have turned to other sects in despair.
, only a few people are left struggling to support it, praying that the world can once again send nectar to this withering tree to restore its vitality."
"In places where ordinary people can't see, there have been many summoners who have been following one after another, persisting in their lives just for the survival and resurrection of summons. They have embarked on a path where they know that there is a high probability that they will not be rewarded when they make their own decisions, but
Even so, they are still moving forward unswervingly.”
"I am very lucky to be able to continue to follow in their footsteps. The huge waves set off by the times are pushing summoners to move forward. I can witness the changes of thousands of years for these people and realize their long-cherished wishes, which is far better than the so-called third generation."
One person makes my heart flutter."
For some reason, Leif didn't write anything down. She stared straight at Lu Yu, as if she wanted to know the credibility of this passage through her eyes, the window to the soul.
In the end, she laughed and did not continue to bring up inducing topics. Instead, she picked some light-hearted topics to chat about, such as whether Lu Yu knew that his odds had changed significantly compared to the preliminaries, and for example, Lu Yu
Does Yu know that he has been secretly named by some noble ladies and is on the candidate list?
After the interview that lasted for more than ten minutes, Leif shook hands with Lu Yu and said goodbye with a page full of content. I don’t know if it was due to etiquette or other reasons. Leif’s hand was held tightly and for a long time.
Lulu frowned.
"Usually only the favorites get such treatment. You have a special interview just after you win. Maybe she is your admirer." Sierra poked her palm, implying something, "Reluctant to leave.
Ah, reluctant to leave."
“Would an admirer add an obvious sinkhole question to their casual chat for their idol to answer?”
"Maybe it's a subconscious move due to professionalism?" Sierra clicked her tongue, "Her eyes never leave you. It seems like a second less is a loss..."
"You don't have any professional qualities, just chasing stars through your work, huh." Lulu said disdainfully.
Eating one's own teacher's melon was really fun, but it would not be wonderful if his expression was captured, so Herola filled her mouth with snacks and chewed with difficulty.
Seeing her teacher get out of the quagmire of a topic by teaching her whether to eat or not, Herola laughed happily, which could be considered as helping her teacher.
Holding the honeydew melon in both hands and eating like a squirrel, Xu asked sharply: "What is this, a brooch?"
The brooch picked up by Xu Mo was printed with a towering tree and an owl's head, surrounded by some cheap decorative variegated crystals.
"It's the logo of the Star Reacher Observation Room." Sera waved her hand, "Leave it to the maid and let them pass it on."
Lu Yu and Lulu had a two-day bye, while Herola and Sera had to face the seventh-level magician of their group one day later.
After being repeatedly indoctrinated by the three people to focus on participation and not to put pressure on oneself, Herola gradually eased her nervousness and went into battle with the mentality that fighting is about learning.
Because of the previous encounter, Lu Yu specially came to watch Eli's game. He had already won one game before and he would be able to take the initiative if he won this game. However, unfortunately, someone in the same group with him
The two star-catchers were the favorites to win the competition, and he happened to face one of them this time.
For summons summoned based on basic summoning rituals, the price payment process often puts the summoner into a dilemma where losing the summons is basically equal to emptying the magic power. Eli knew this very well, and during the battle, he used to superimpose a large number of defensive types.
The magical body protects the summoned creature from attacks.
But his opponent's response method was spotless. Lulu, who witnessed the whole game, shook her head and commented: "He did nothing wrong. His opponent is far better than him. Even if it were me, I would still find it difficult."
Lulu was trembling when she said this. Her desire for challenge was burning because she saw an evenly matched opponent. She couldn't wait any longer.
The disgraced Eli smiled helplessly when he saw Lu Yu.
"Compared to Mr. Bass, this kind of battle is very ugly."
"You did a good job." Lu Yu comforted, "The gap in strength makes it difficult for you to come back even if you make all the decisions right."
Eli sighed: "It seems I can only go here."
After that, he laughed at himself: "I originally wanted to find a lovely and considerate wife based on my excellent results, but it seems that it won't work. I don't know if the honor of entering the main competition will win the favor of those outstanding female mages."
"It is not realistic to achieve greater improvement in strength and combat skills in a short period of time, but it may be possible to increase your fault tolerance rate and add some variables to the game."
"Mr. Bass is joking. Thanks to my ancestors, I have a clear understanding of my level of summoning. If I want to improve my fault tolerance, I can only practice hard."
Lu Yu handed a scroll to Eli. Eli was confused and wanted to unfold it, but was stopped by Lu Yu.
Lu Yu patted Eli on the shoulder: "Don't open it here, take it back, be alone and watch slowly, you will gain something."
Seeing Eli stroking his head and leaving in confusion, Lu Yu raised the corners of his mouth.
Not only for the sake of the pioneer who extended the summons more than a hundred years ago, but also because of Eli's summoning sense, Lu Yu felt that he should help him - at least to help him choose a mate.
There are more opportunities.
After leaving the game and thinking about what to eat, Lu Yu stumbled due to the sudden collision. He looked down and saw a little boy wearing a dirty black hat raised his head towards him.
"Are you Mr. Bass?"
Lu Yu nodded doubtfully: "Yes."
"A gentleman paid me a silver coin to tell you. He will wait for you at the port of Fallwind City tomorrow and tell you the story about the pioneer."
After saying that, the little boy ran away, leaving only the four people in shock.
"What does this mean?" Sera was also a little confused, "You seem to be completely exposed to the sight of another pioneer."
After a brief shock, Lu Yu calmed down: "It's a good thing that the other party is willing to show up, but... the pioneer is a man? Isn't it the red hair, but the butterfly?"
I really can't figure it out.
Considering that Herola and Sera would have a competition tomorrow, Lu Yu decided to meet with another pioneer alone.
"Mr. Bass, this is the brooch you asked us to hand over."
Lu Yu, who returned to the mansion, said in shock: "Isn't it Ms. Leif's?"
"The people at Star Reacher Observation Room say they have never lost a brooch, and they are very curious whether you are extending an interview invitation to them in this way."
Lu Yu stretched out his hand and interrupted the maid: "Wait a minute, invitation for an exclusive interview? But we have already done an exclusive interview."
"But the other party said that they had never had contact with Mr. Bass." said the maid Tammy.
Lu Yu felt something was wrong: "Didn't you bring the previous secretary?"
The maid Tammy was stunned: "Secretary? What secretary?"
