647. How come there is such a cute summoning object in the Serenity Garden?
Sera would rather Lu Yu exploded on the spot than see his face without any emotion. Everything was like a brief calm before the repressed volcano was about to erupt.
After using the statue communication to reunite, Sera and Lu Lu hid outside the town. They were always shrouded in an extremely depressing aura. Even Lu Lu, who was closest to Lu Yu, could not help but feel a little scared.
She looked at Lu Yu worriedly, but didn't know what to say.
The contact with Herola was completely cut off, as if the hamster statue made by Sera herself was destroyed by the explosion.
"Lu Yu, you can say something."
Lu Yu rubbed his face: "Sorry, I don't know what to say now... There should be enough time. I will go to the Summoning Temple... You must pay attention to safety."
In the temple, the red-haired girl had been waiting for a long time. When she sensed Lu Yu's appearance, she hurriedly stood up.
Orkus, who had already heard some things from the red-haired man, also stood up and backed away.
He is an outsider in this matter and can't say much.
"My apprentice Herola hasn't been contacted yet. Red Hair, do you have anything you want to say to me... Or should I call you 'Duckweed' like your companions?"
Duckweed, who no longer concealed her appearance, took off her veil, her expression visibly nervous.
"I swear to the consciousness of the world, I definitely did not provoke the pioneers..."
The black vortex of the summoning ceremony behind Lu Yu turned into a black crack, and the cold breath made the redhead shudder, "My patience is very limited, or you can explain why you only sent me away, and didn't let me take away my companions."
, or you and your people will die."
"I have clearly informed you." Duckweed vowed.
"At some point, you won't want to tell me that the kid who hit me didn't tell the whole story, right?" Lu Yu was not going to accept this excuse.
"As early as the start of the Star Reacher competition, I saw reports on similar summons from the Shadow Kingdom from publications. I confirmed your identity when I arrived at the scene, so I specially sent you a letter at the beginning of the group stage.
"
Duckweed continued: "The letter hopes that even if you are not on our side, you will not preconceptions about helping the people in the arena. And I also specifically explained that if you are really confused, just feel their feelings outside the arena.
Just be determined to die, I will tell you more details later."
"During the attack, I also confirmed that your two wives had finished the game and left the venue before officially starting it. I thought you all knew that and were tacitly agreeing that we would proceed."
"What about my apprentice?"
Duckweed explained: "I thought...she was also informed of the content by you."
"I told you all about the plan before the attack started. This is also because I gave you a template and insisted on the trust that pioneers do not attack each other." Duckweed said hurriedly, "It can be said that I will tell you whether the plan can succeed.
The key to the crime has been entrusted to you. If you insist on reporting it, everything will be in vain today."
"I don't understand. This isn't notification and trust. What is?" Duckweed asked, "I have done the greatest compassion I can for a stranger. It is the biggest gamble in my life. Today is the number of nobles. On the most days, almost all the Dashwood family members gather together. If I lose the bet, I can’t even find the next chance!”
Lu Yu frowned. If everything goes according to Duckweed's words, then her approach is impeccable, but the problem is...
"I didn't receive the letter."
"This is impossible. I watched the maid put the letter into your locker with my own eyes!" Duckweed was shocked. This was the key to her self-proof.
Lu Yu recalled something: "But I did lose a letter, and the two maids responsible for keeping it described it to me."
The dark wind blew, and the crack behind Lu Yu suddenly grew larger and smaller, just like he didn't know who to vent his anger on at this time.
Duckweed also frowned, biting her thumb subconsciously, and suddenly, she suddenly raised her head.
"Sorry, I need to leave temporarily to confirm one thing."
Orkus was not in the mood to drink tea anymore. He put himself in his shoes and thought that if something happened to his precious apprentice, his reaction would not be much better than that of Lu Yu. Now that Lu Yu can still communicate with Duckweed, he is already extremely rational.
"If everything Duckweed said is true, then the conflict between you and her should be whether Herola is alive."
Orkus's calm words made Lu Yu's anger that was about to overwhelm his sanity dissipate a little. He restrained his summoning ritual, covered his head and sat down: "I can't contact her."
"Maybe you should try a method other than the communication circle."
It can be said that a bystander knows clearly. Orkus' words made Lu Yu slowly turn his head, and in an instant, he suddenly realized.
He was so worried that he forgot another method that was unique to him.
"Quiet Garden, come out!"
The summoned Serenity Garden grabbed the morning glory stretched out before it could express its intimacy to Lu Yu: "Tell me, where is Herola now?"
The Serenity Garden fulfills the first two words of its name and is silent.
Orkus reminded: "It cannot answer this too detailed question, otherwise all the people who use your flesh and blood summons will be one-way transparent in your eyes. To understand it with the concept of authority, 'she' cannot allow it." Yes, unless you reach a higher level."
Orkus, who showed an extraordinary understanding of the world consciousness, asked on behalf of Lu Yu: "Herola, you are alive, right?"
After a short and depressing silence, Lu Yu's thoughts echoed with the answer "Yes." from the Quiet Garden.
Perhaps because of the identity of "Lord", it also comes with a sentence: "The messenger of the Lord is safe."
In an instant, Lu Yu's pressure from head to toe was gone. He slapped the morning glory several times: "Okay, very good, you did a very good job. Protect her, as long as she lives!"
After walking around in place twice, Lu Yu saw the quiet garden becoming more and more pleasing to his eyes.
Why didn't you think this guy was so cute at first? Look at the messy morning glory, look at the darkness that looks like a pool of sludge, what the hell, it's so pretty!
Lu Yu slumped down on the chair with a long sigh of relief. Even though he knew that the tea in the temple was just for drinking, he still drank a few large cups and tasted his favorite carbonated soda flavor.
"What would you do if something really happened?"
"Stay in Durderan and have Herola buried with her." Lu Yu said calmly, "She is a hamster. The more objects in the tomb, the better."
"Sometimes I feel that you value the people around you more than yourself." Orkus took a sip of tea, "If I die one day, I am very curious about your reaction."
"Then I have to ask you in advance what you like to eat and drink. When I sweep the grave, I will bring it to your grave and eat it in front of you to see if I can release the energy from your spirit body."
"That's definitely impossible." Orkus said nonchalantly, "I'm not you. I have a deep obsession with whether a dish is sweet or salty."
"Then I will bring the half-torn summoning book to your grave to pay tribute. Hey, you will only be able to see half of it no matter what." Lu Yu thought for a while, "Or maybe I'll take your bread?
Come back, let her learn my summons, and give up your theoretical research..."
"How can you be so wicked!" Orcus became anxious.
Just when Lu Yu and Orkus breathed a sigh of relief and were chatting and laughing, Duckweed pressed Leif against the wall in a cave in Durderan, breathing so heavily that Leif didn't dare to open his eyes.
Open your eyes.
The other people who survived and finally evacuated wanted to come forward to persuade them, but Duckweed shouted and backed away.
Everyone has never seen Duckweed so angry. Her slightly shy character has always been teased by everyone, but at this moment she is as strong as a queen.
"Explain it to me!"
Leif was no longer as crazy as she was during the previous battle. She was being held by her collar like a kitten by Duckweed: "Riza took it away."
"you know?"
"I found out afterwards."
"Then why don't you give it back?"
Leif didn't respond.
"Leif, do you really know what you are doing? You may have killed a pioneer's apprentice. This is a conflict between the pioneers and it will never end!"
Duckweed looked around angrily: "Where is Riza, where is he!"
A warrior with only his right arm left and a pale face stood up tremblingly: "Little Duckweed... Riza's team all self-destructed."
Duckweed covered his forehead, familiar faces flashed before his eyes, and their still-unmistakable voices emerged from the depths of his memory.
Some of them have been taking care of her since she was a child, some work hard to make her disabled in order to make her grow up quickly, and some use their bodies as bait to let her avoid the raids from the nobles.
Eventually I lost all my relatives.
The anger at that moment turned into wordless silence as he learned the news of his death, and Duckweed sat slumped on the ground.
"Why do we do this...don't we have a plan?"
Leif wanted to reach out and touch the duckweed, but after looking at her arm covered with blood scabs and the smell of blood that couldn't be wiped off, she silently took her hand back.
"Not just Riza, many people think that you shouldn't just trust the other party's words and tell everything. Even if the other party gives you some help, Bass became a pioneer much earlier than you and is too mysterious. Who can
You can know what kind of dark plans these high-ranking magicians are planning in their hearts, and what you gain from your confidence may just be the bait he throws out for the plan."
"Have we not suffered too much from the promises made by the nobles because we believed in magicians? How many agreements have become waste paper, how many corpses are piled up in the sewers of Granahan Street, how many people have been crushed to death, like a
Rat, fell into the sewage without dignity?"
"Riza's generation believed in it, but they all paid the price... They don't want you to follow this old path."
Duckweed suddenly stood up: "So Riza took the letter, and you still don't think it's safe to test Bass. You think you should use this attack to help me clear the obstacles on the path of the pioneer?"
"I made amends afterwards. I sent a child to distract Lu Yu the day before the incident, but it seems that the message was not conveyed properly. You know, when I have a headache, I can't remember things clearly, and my narration is also difficult.
It would be too clear, probably missing a lot of details..."
Duckweed closed her eyes in pain.
Leif suddenly sighed with relief and waved his hand: "Okay, I messed up everything. I forgot what you said. Don't organize work when you are sick. Instead, you should huddle in the corner and wait for your illness.
Relieve it, wait until your mind is clearer before taking action, and forget about your repeated instructions to record it at all times, and did not try to make amends immediately after the incident, but thought that what Riza said might be right..."
"If his apprentice dies, just leave me to him so that Duckweed can escape from all this chaos."
"My life is destined to be short anyway. After I die, remember to pop my head open and study it."
Duckweed stared at Leif's dim eyes for a long time, then waved his hands feebly and returned to the temple without saying a word.
"It seems there is a result?" Orkus asked with a smile.
For some reason, Duckweed felt that the atmosphere in the temple was far less cold than before.
After telling everything in full, Duckweed looked at the silent Lu Yu and explained: "Riza is dead. As for Leif... her brain is contaminated, and she will go crazy most of the time. When she wakes up,
She also couldn't remember what she had done before, she was always like this, and she also felt a little self-deprecating, thinking that she was just destined to die and could die at any time, so she didn't care about her own life at all."
"Pollution?" Lu Yu was curious, "Is it the spiritual level?"
"No, it's toxins." Duckweed rubbed the corners of his tired eyes, "I can't explain clearly for a while. I hope we can still have the opportunity to chat face to face. What has happened on this continent is far more than you think.
Be complicated.”
"Both of your wives are here today. They should be able to feel everyone's determination to die. Most of those people are similar to Leif, and their time is running out. Whether they can survive or splash their blood on those people, all of them
Everyone chose the latter."
"If you want to take away Leif, and the few lives left by those poor people..." Duckweed said decisively, "I am the only person they can rely on, and I am also their last remaining hope. The death of your apprentice,
I will bear all the consequences."
Lu Yu looked at Orkus beside him and said calmly: "You should be lucky that luck is on your side. My apprentice Herola is safe for the time being. Otherwise, no matter how good your excuse is, I will not
We will find enough burial objects for her."
Duckweed hesitated for a while, then said ecstatically: "What do you mean?"
"Since everything is fine and it's just a false alarm, the rest is the conflict between you and the local nobles. We are just passers-by. I don't know anything about what you want to do and I have no intention of taking sides." Lu Yu said, "For you to be implicated
I can put this matter aside for the time being and not care about it. The premise of all this is that Herola is safe and sound and can meet us, otherwise, I will still blame everything on you."
"and…"
Duckweed's heart rose in his throat again.
"I need to understand what the so-called 'pollution' you are talking about is, otherwise it's all just your words. To be honest, I have only seen pollution on the spiritual level before. Is this the result of yours on the physical level?"
