Chapter 248 247 Engraved Summoning Object or Summoning Manual?
Chapter 248 247. Engraved summoning object or summoning manual?
After messing around with Sera's body for a while, Xu became sluggish, which made Lulu let out a deep sigh of relief.
After seeing the astonishing amount of treasures in the treasure house, Sera designated Anna and Isko as the temporary managers of the orphanage.
The two people from the Theocracy wanted to continue traveling and preach along the way, but Sera stared at Isko's one arm mercilessly.
"With your current strength, if you encounter problems during your missionary journey, can you still protect Anna?" Sera said, "Besides, who said you can't do missionary work by managing an orphanage?"
Isco was so choked by his own divine choice that he did not dare to speak. Fortunately, Anna was comforting him.
Sera was not interested in the currency or the huge amount of gold all over the floor. She walked around the treasure house for a long time and said with some disappointment: "Clorence didn't collect any crystals or ores. They were all currencies. This is too tacky.”
Lu Yu also wanted to complain about this. In the treasure house, apart from currency, the most valuable items are some armors engraved with magic circles. They can be activated as long as magic is injected into them. The enchantment lines on the surface are clear. Activating them step by step is equivalent to obtaining a magic circle. A top-notch sixth-level piece of equipment. This could be regarded as a good treasure in Lawrence's time, but now, it is only slightly valuable. I have never seen a collection of jewelry and crystals before. In addition to the extremely simple and monotonous interiors in most places in Twilight City and his love for marble, it is not difficult to see that Clorance does not like gems and crystals very much.
"She has become weaker in a moment. As long as she wants to experience the outside world with me, she can't sustain it for a day." Sera told Lu Yu while admiring the piece of gold the size of a human head that Sigrid found.
A second ago, he was teasing Lulu happily, but in the blink of an eye, he no longer had the energy to mess around. The change was so sudden.
"Is there anything she wants to do?"
"The touch and sensory experience are almost over. She wanted to eat something, so I came to find you." Sierra said, "I heard from Lulu that you are a good cook."
Lu Yu shook his head: "It's just something fresh to eat. I'm not a good cook, so I'll prepare it for her right now."
The Twilight City of Clorons is very humane. There are butcher dolls on the grazing island that specialize in butchering and dividing meat. You only need to select the ingredients you want, and a human with four hands will wake up. Come on, rub the knife and help you handle the ingredients neatly.
After Lu Yu selected a cow, the burly butcher pointed at it, and the cow was frozen in place, without struggling at all, and quietly welcomed its death.
Clarence obviously did not take this reincarnation to its extreme. Since there is no shortage of magic power in this enchantment and the puppets can run for a long time, and since you have taught the puppets to herd and butcher, then you should let the puppets eat vegetables by the way. Spices are also grown, but just having the puppets simulate people eating meat is not really an achievement.
After Lu Yu marinated the beef with limited materials, he set up a simple grill outside the city at dusk. As Lulu lit the fire, the smoke floated in the moon-carved barrier, bringing a touch of life to this lifeless barrier. angry.
Smelling the aroma, Xu Xun woke up from his rest. After talking to Sera, he took over the control.
"Is there something to eat..."
Xu's voice was very small. She was clearly right in front of her, but it was like a mosquito. The speed at which her power drained was alarming.
Not even a day, not even half a day, she was already on the verge of disappearing.
Lu Yu could feel that he was relying on strong obsession to maintain his consciousness for a moment. Once a certain wish was fulfilled, the tone would loosen and dissipate completely.
Lu Yu put the thinly sliced meat with some oil on it and grilled it on the grill. The sound of the fat dripping when it came into contact with the fire made Xu's mouth open unconsciously, and his saliva hung on his face. The corner of his mouth.
He took the roasted meat in a moment and put it directly into his mouth without fear of burning it.
Chewing, chewing, her eyes sparkling for a moment, she came to Lu Yu, sucked on the fork, and urged her to go faster with her eyes.
Piece after piece, they were eaten in the stomach as soon as they came out of the oven.
The doll body does not need to eat, and she has no idea what the food tastes like. Before, she could only imagine this beauty from the words of her companions and the sporadic records in books, but now she has really realized it!
The hotness of the food when it enters the mouth, the aroma that echoes between the lips and teeth, the sound of the teeth colliding with the food when chewing, the alluring aroma that wafts out while the food is cooking, and... that unparalleled sense of peace of mind after the food enters the stomach.
Rather than seeing with eyes, smelling with nose, touching with hands, and tasting with mouth, which made her feel more human for a moment, Sera, who was residing in her soul, felt a deep reluctance at this moment.
For a moment, she shed tears while picking up the slices of meat that Lu Yu put into her bowl with a fork.
“Delicious, delicious…”
"It's so delicious that I cried. It's not that exaggerated." Sigrid was surprised. She felt that Lu Yu's barbecue was obviously not as good as hers.
When I'm with Lu Yu, I'm always picky. Today's barbecue lacks a lot of ingredients, and the taste is not as good as before. Sigrid just wants to give it a barely passing score, but after all, the person who said this is Xu Yu, a talented person. A soul that was born not long ago.
Lu Yu silently gave up his position and let Sigrid take over to continue baking. He walked aside and carved out the magic circle that Segro said in the name of rest.
Sitting there, a strong feeling of dizziness came over him in a short while. Lu Yu's eyes blurred, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in the Summoner's Temple.
Segro was still sitting on the ruins of the temple, looking at Lu Yu with a smile. This guy seemed to be ready at any time.
"I know you have something to tell me, but let me say it first this time."
"It's about that Xu Yu, right?"
"Yes." Lu Yu said, "I still want to know, is there really no way to keep her alive?"
Segro stared at Lu Yu with a complicated expression. After a while, he walked to Lu Yu and patted his shoulder.
"You have only known her for a day. All your impulses at this moment come from the fact that you named her. With a name, there is a connection, and with a connection, there is concern... However, Lu Yu, this is the world. Birth, aging, illness and death are the norm. Clorens' pursuit of eternity and desire for immortality is right in front of you. Don't you... have any feelings?"
"You have also seen a lot of death along the way, in Yas, in Soresen, in Mostana..."
Lu Yu knew what Segro wanted to tell him.
You picked up a stray cat on the street and took it home to raise it. You never gave it a name. You only called it "Mimi" or "Meow". This conventional code became a bridge for your communication.
Unconsciously, one day when you returned home, the cat was gone. The little guy who would respond to your "Mimi" or "Meow" ran away again and didn't eat the fish you bought.
Maybe you will feel lost and sad for a while, but you will eventually forget him. Only when you see a kitten of the same color, the memory related to him will reappear in the complicated memories, which will be short and hasty, and the emotional fluctuations will no longer be strong.
But if you give him a name, everything will change.
Fixed names and fixed symbols strengthen your impression of him and make memories clearer.
Lu Yu doesn't like to keep small animals. The moment of separation will eventually come, and what about the countless shadows he left in your long life?
His roommate said that Lu Yu was sensitive and had many trivial matters. As a result, the mother cat who was begging for food in their dormitory had injured her legs and feet, and he was very nervous.
It's the same for everyone.
The moment of naming was casual. Lu Yu didn't know where everyone's fate would go next. At this moment, Lu Yu was only suffering.
Just treat it as picking up a large pet. Even if the doctor issued a death notice, Lu Yu would like to ask, "Is it really hopeless?"
Segro looked at the sky and remained silent for a long time.
After a while, Seguro said, "There are two ways in this era."
Lu Yu's eyes lit up.
"Let her sleep temporarily in the body of any one of you. If she is lucky enough to survive until the next era, the puppeteers will create more powerful puppets, and she can gamble her life once."
Lu Yu frowned. This operation is not feasible.
Xu Mo may not even survive tomorrow, let alone the next era. The next era will conservatively take a year or two to come. Even if the puppeteers have already had an idea, the specific practice will take a long time to explore. Who knows when the final product will appear.
"What about the other method?"
Seguro glanced at Lu Yu: "The other method is related to you. You should have discovered that the summoned creature is not so much summoned as it is 'created'."
Lu Yu did not expect Seguro to bring up this topic on his own initiative. Judging from his appearance, this is not something that the world consciousness does not allow to talk about, so he looked at him expectantly and urged him to continue.
"There are generally two types of summoners. One uses the summons created by previous summoners, and the other is to continuously develop the types of summons based on their own ideas. This is how you distinguish them now, right?"
Lu Yu nodded.
"Considering that you have limited time, I will not explain the specifics of 'creation' for the time being. The summons you created before, the Flesh Chariot, the Devouring Tree, the Piano, and the unnamed No. 1, are essentially another kind of 'life' presented by Him according to your needs. If the summoning system is likened to a pond, then He is the owner of the pond, and you are the one who throws your own fry into it."
"You said I have limited time, tell me the key points!" Lu Yu urged impatiently.
Segro sighed: "You are so loud when you ask me for help. Do you know how to respect the elderly and love the young? To put it simply, she can't be a human being in her current state, but she can be a summon."
Lu Yu was stunned. He didn't know how to digest this information for a while, and looked at Segro blankly.
"What to do?"
"You draw the image of his summon, then give me the information, and I'll tell him, that's it." Seguro saw Lu Yu immediately looking for paper and pen, and hurriedly reminded him, "It may cost some price, you have to be mentally prepared."
"What price?"
Lu Yu found that the dome wrapped by countless summon bubbles just above the Summoner's Temple had a crack, and a soft white light beam fell on Seguro.
"I told you before that Orcus has his own engraved summon, the Dragon Slayer. In the way you can understand, it is an exclusive summon. No one can summon it except him."
"Engraved summons have many advantages. For example, his power is extremely strong. You have seen the combat power of the Dragon Slayer. It is a conceptual suppression of the dragon clan. In addition, engraved summons can be summoned at any time without using the summoning ritual. As long as you still have magic power, it will not dissipate easily."
"If Xu Yu becomes your engraved summon, she should also be able to gain very special power. After all, this is the compensation for us summoners, and it is a gift from Him to encourage you to revive the summoning school. So you can fully expect Xu Yu's performance. For a summoner of your strength, she may be your rare life-saving trump card... I have to say that the third level is really too weak, you have to work harder."
"You don't need to remind me, continue talking about the cost!" Lu Yu said shamefully.
Segro smiled and pulled out Lu Yu's summoning manual.
"I said last time that the summoning manual is your exclusive item."
Lu Yu understood immediately. He looked at the summoning manual floating in front of him, was silent for a while, and asked: "If Xu Yu becomes my engraved summon, will the summoning manual disappear?"
"Maybe, but what you said is very likely. All the magics blessed to the summoning manual last time will fade away, even though you have never enjoyed the convenience it brings you."
"So Lu Yu, you have to make a choice, do you want to use the method I said to turn Xu Yu into your engraved summon, or do you want the summoning manual?"
Lu Yu really wanted to say that he wanted everything, but the reality was that there was no possibility of bargaining with Him.
Not long after, Lu Yu smiled and said decisively: "I choose Xu Yu."
"Are you sure?" Segro asked, "Once you make a choice, there is no room for change. You and I both know that He has no feelings and no mood swings. There will be no candy if you quarrel."
"I'm sure." Lu Yu said, "Anyway, I haven't used any magical functions of the summoning manual, and I don't know yet. Even if it disappears, I won't be too sad, but if Xu Yu is gone, I think I should be sad for a while."
After saying this, Lu Yu's body was unusually relaxed. He continued: "It's better to pursue your heart in everything. Everything is difficult to buy my willingness... Even if there is no summoning manual, I will definitely become a powerful summoner in the future. If there is any impact, it is nothing more than going a little further."
"It doesn't matter, let's go. I still have a long life. As long as there are people around me, I won't escape into reincarnation like Clorens."
