Chapter 227 226. Soulless Things

Through the reminder from Serra's magic messenger, Lu Yu got a quick route through the castle courtyard and the first floor of guards.

To deal with these mediocre knights, Lulu could have burned them all, but Sera repeatedly asked Lulu not to set fire to them and to ensure the integrity of every corpse.

With what she had seen and heard on the island before, Lulu immediately realized that there was also a "loop" on this island.

After killing a knight guarding the side door of the courtyard, Lulu wrapped a small part of his body in flames and burned it completely. The final result was consistent with a circular island full of monsters and beasts.

The Big Bowl shrunk on its own, and the body that originally contained a bunch of debris gradually bulged into a hill. Fortunately, the builders of the castle made the place extremely spacious, otherwise the Big Bowl wouldn't be able to squeeze in even if it was shrunk.

Following the instructions, Lulu killed all the knights she saw along the way, scaring the servants and slaves into fleeing in all directions. Amidst the constant ringing of the alarm bell, Lu Yu and his party easily completed the rendezvous with Sera.

Then, Lu Yu was dumbfounded.

They were worried that there would be no food in the moon-carved barrier, so they brought a bunch of dried meat in. They were also always worried about the safety of Sera and her two followers.

But what's going on with the barbecue in this house...

What's going on with this newly skinned sheep on the ground?

These two people seem to be in great spirits, and they don't look like believers who have been missing for ten days and a half. What's going on?

You don't look like you are missing at all.

In order to enter the conference room, Dawan had to shake off some more clods of soil on his body, shrinking his body again, and then he squeezed into the room with heavy supplies with difficulty.

As soon as I entered the door, those rickety "hills" all fell down, pressing the small bowl underneath.

After checking whether the two dead knights were on guard, Isco just closed the door and was shocked to see the small bowl buried under the dried meat.

Anna's eyes urged him to hold the hand for the small bowl, but Isco looked at his only left hand and thought about what the Lord Chosen had just said...

"His summons ate a hundred thousand people."

While Isco was still struggling with his thoughts, the mist demon floated down and rescued the little bowl who didn't know how to use his hands.

Feeling that his task was almost completed, the small bowl simply became smaller and smaller, leaving a pile of sand in front of the door, turning into a tea bowl placed on the dining table.

Lu Yu glanced at it, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind.

On this side, Lu Yu was thoughtful, while on the other side, Sera had hugged Lulu and rubbed Lulu's face with her hands, leaving only a slit for her eyes.

Lulu was glad that there were still two people from the Theocracy at the scene. Otherwise, judging from her past experience, Sera would rub her cheek against her. Even if she wanted to push her away, it would be difficult to do so.

Sera is not a pure magician. She has a lot of practical experience. She has good physical strength and is stronger than a stay-at-home girl like Lulu. Every time she is hugged by her, Lulu feels like she is just a little rabbit, and Sera Laze is the owner of the little rabbit...

"I thought you were having a hard time in the barrier, but you end up eating better than us. The sheep are all killed on the spot. This is too much!"

Lulu, who was in a hurry, wanted to appear in front of Sera as a savior, but she didn't expect that Sera was fine at all. This made her happily relieved, but then she was disappointed.

Looking at the dried meat on the ground, Sera wanted to rub Lulu's face again and tease her, but Isco and Anna seemed to be peeking at this place with sideways eyes, so she could only tidy up her clothes reservedly. , adjust the tone.

"It seems you care about my safety. We are indeed friends."

"Who is your friend? As a magician, I am driven by curiosity to solve the mystery of your disappearance. When encountering such an enchantment, it would be a shame not to explore it."

At the end, Lulu added: "I just came to see you by the way."

The fog demon whispered beside Sigrid: "But I remember Lulu said that Sera is one of her few friends, and I hope Lu Yu can use his brain to help her..."

Sigrid also reminded in a low voice: "Lulu hasn't helped you refine the body-shaping potion yet..."

The mist demon immediately shut up, turned into a small teacup, and moved closer to the small bowl.

Seeing Lulutis exchanging information about the moon-carved barrier with her chosen god, and the murderous summoner playing with his summons, Anna could only stand aside without saying a word, putting on a polite smile. .

Isco, who moved little by little to Ana's side, asked in a low voice: "What do you think?"

"Lulutis?"

"No, this summoner named Lu Yu..."

"Looks pretty normal..."

"Before the poisonous fog incident, everyone thought Lulutis was normal."

"No, before the poisonous mist incident, I didn't think Lulutis was normal. The number of explosions of her potions was quite alarming. It once made the Theocratic Nation think that Tanya was planning to exchange ideas between brothers and sisters with her brothers. emotion…"

“…”

Although Lulutis' tone of voice was a bit awkward when chatting with her Divine Chosen, Anna could feel that Lulutis and the Divine Chosen had a very good relationship.

Lady Serra is also a person who rarely talks about "friends". Although she has made many friends during her travels to the Theocracy, those are all friends of the Theocracy, short-lived friends, and friends who change according to the current situation and interests. .

From Lady Sera's perspective, since she entered the Theocracy, there are very few people she is really interested in making friends with, so there has always been a rumor within the Theocracy that Lady Sera is aloof and arrogant.

She can't get along with the bishops, and can't get along with the chief priests who preside over daily sacrifices and other major events. Lady Sera has always left the impression of being a lone ranger in a hurry.

The Theocracy will not send anyone to help her with things she can solve.

She doesn't cooperate with anyone, and can't be cooperated with by anyone.

Just like this time in the Moonlight Barrier, after she reported all the strange events, the Chosen One came to Cole alone. Even though she felt the danger in the castle, she still tried her best to protect them.

Is she really aloof and arrogant?

When accompanying Lady Sera to help refugees, the regret and sadness in Lady Sera's eyes were so real.

When the natural disaster came, Lady Sera prayed for the earth with piety and solemnity.

Although the daily work of the Chosen One is close to people, it is also alienating from people. This is the original words of Bishop David, who is also the bishop with the closest relationship with the Chosen One.

Anna couldn't understand it at the time, until she really understood it this time.

Anna believes in Sera's vision. People who can be trusted by her will definitely not do such unscrupulous things as the Sandman Poison Mist.

Isco has been with Anna for a long time and can understand Anna's thoughts, but compared with the emotional Anna, Isco is very cautious.

The biggest suspect in the Sandman Poison Mist incident, plus the summoner of Mostana's summons who eat 100,000 people, gathered together. Whether they are good or evil, the degree of danger is explosive.

Isco is now confused about whether the small tea bowl that Lu Yu is fiddling with can also eat people...

With strong psychological quality and the blessing of the Chosen One's vision of seeing people, Isco took the initiative to introduce himself to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's reaction was very ordinary and he responded very easily. Anyway, he was not related to the bloodthirsty summoner who manipulated the summons in the rumors.

"Summoners are a rare school of magicians. There are very few of them in the entire Mera continent."

With summoning as the entry point, Lu Yu's desire to chat was obviously much stronger.

"It doesn't matter if there are few people, as long as there are still people. After going to Mera, I plan to collect books from various schools and increase my knowledge."

Through Orcus's collection of books and the mastery of the elemental double summoning technique, Lu Yu had a deep feeling.

In this darkest era of summoning, those who still insist on the summoning school are amazing.

They are trying hard to find the most reasonable way to use it to ensure that summoning will not completely decline and be completely useless. They are scholars worthy of admiration.

Isco was horrified, and even Anna beside him could not hide her shock.

The fog demon suddenly stretched out a pair of hands to grab the edge of the small tea bowl and teased him, which also caused Lu Yu to not see the expressions of Isco and the others.

"Mr. Lu Yu...you just said to collect books from various schools. Do you mean to learn all their knowledge?"

Lu Yu mediated the "fight" between Wu Yao and Xiao Wan, and answered: "Yes, getting all the books is the fastest way."

Isco turned his head and looked at Anna with sweat dripping down his face. He found that Anna was also looking at him, and his face turned pale.

"The Summoning School has long been withered, and there are only a few Summoning scholars and families with books left. He plans to eat them all?"

"Otherwise...do you think those scholars will let an outsider organize their knowledge..." Anna said.

"It is indeed the fastest way..."

The monopoly of academia and the privacy of inheritance have led to the existence of a large number of conservatives after the decline of the school. They would rather let the books be corroded by time than share them and seek progress.

The only way to share knowledge with these stubborn people is by force.

And the fastest way is to kill people.

As long as everyone is killed, no one will stop them.

Under absolute violence, the high walls built will collapse in an instant.

Obviously, the solution of this summoner who just let his summon eat 100,000 people in Mostana is to kill people.

Looking at the small bowl in Lu Yu's hand, Anna suddenly felt that it was covered with a deep red.

The information exchange between Lulu and Sera has ended, and Sera announced the action plan for tonight.

"Tonight we will kill all the people on the current floor together. Try not to use extremely destructive magic and try not to alarm the knights on other floors. After completing all this, search each room one by one and record the furnishings in each room."

"Because the castle is very large, it takes a lot of time to sweep a single floor, so the time is set close to midnight. After the knights change shifts, they must return to the meeting room when the castle's morning bell rings."

"At the same time, because the rooms in the castle will move, and the movement pattern and trigger conditions are unknown, two people must be paired when searching the room, one person enters and the other observes outside the door."

"Me, Lulu, Sigrid, Mist Fairy, Anna, Isco, Sera..." Lu Yu counted the number of people, "Seven people, one person short."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lu Yu. Lu Yu, who was a little scared by the stare, took a step back: "What are you doing, did I say something wrong?"

"You have a summon, you can search the room alone..."

Lulu sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll go with him. Lu Yu is only level three, the weakest among us. There must be someone stronger to follow him. If there are not enough people, we can just form a team of three."

"Level three?"

Isco and Anna's jaws dropped.

Level three can summon a summoned creature that eats 100,000 people. Is this magic?

Sera glanced at Lu Yu inconspicuously, and then glanced at Lulu who stood beside Lu Yu. She clenched her fist and then slowly loosened it.

Night fell quickly, and the moon was still bright tonight.

In the market far away from the castle, all the unconscious puppets hurried back home from all over the island when the sun set. When the sky gradually darkened, the lights that had just been lit in the houses quickly went out.

Seeing Lu Yu in a trance, Sera, who had just woken up, walked to the window.

"Curious?"

Lu Yu nodded frankly: "A little bit. In fact, I wanted to ask this morning, are these things you call unconscious puppets considered puppets?"

"Yes, they are puppets, but just like their name, they do not have any self-awareness. Your interference and destruction cannot affect their behavior. Standing among them, you are like a ghost. They don't notice you and do their own things."

"Do the puppets in this castle have consciousness?"

"No, but they are more sound." Sera said, "Although they are all bound by a huge magic circle and move on this land, they will respond to your behavior."

"When you appear in front of them, they will analyze your identity and erase or expel you. They have an internal 'core', and this 'core' clarifies their behavior. As the boundary, tell them what the identity represented by this body should do and what they can do. "

"The knights will protect the safety of this castle; the slaves will be driven to do the most humble labor and the heaviest work; the servants will constantly complete every order issued by the butler. Although everyone here has no soul, they have a 'template'. Compared with the soulless puppets, they already have the minimum filler and are more full. "

Lu Yu touched his head: "It sounds a little different, but generally speaking, they are also puppets without souls."

Sera sighed and glanced at Lulu who was taking a nap for tonight's action: "Is it so difficult when she teaches you?"

"Sometimes, it is true..."

After all, Lu Yu is not a native of this world, and often cannot quickly comprehend some details.
