Chapter 396 395. Sharing the "Glutton"
After the world consciousness blocked the development of summoning, summoning gradually declined, but the "weapon" of overpayment appeared from time to time. Unfortunately, as the most powerful link in the old summoning system, his appearance often does not bring good results.
The randomness of payment and portrayal in the old summoning system led to the fact that the cost of overpayment was also unpredictable most of the time. Therefore, during the long period of summoning's decline, gamblers first developed the gameplay of randomness to the extreme, and their figures appeared in various dark corners that were not supervised by power.
But it was also the non-randomness that destroyed the gamblers. No one knew whether the summoned creatures were controllable. After the underground casinos were slaughtered by summoned creatures one after another and no one survived, even the craziest gamblers and businessmen did not dare to touch the bloody gold and withdrew from this terrifying gameplay.
Orcus once joked that gamblers gave summoning a small breath. Although summoning was very ugly in the eyes of the world during this period, it was at least discussed by people.
Lulu screamed in the chat room: "Overpayment...Mela, how could anyone crack your template? You are the best in this regard!"
"This is the universal template for the invasion of immersion 572 years ago. Someone has changed it based on the original. Summoning through this template will inevitably result in overpayment." Lu Yu gritted his teeth, "Under the tide of magic, the old summoning system has fallen apart, and out of control and invalidity are emerging one after another. Overpayment is the tears of the times that have not been improved for thousands of years. Using it rashly at this sensitive time... They are really a group of scum!"
Through folk rumors, taking advantage of the invasion of immersion and the increase in the importance of summoning, ordinary magicians who are unaware of it learn overpayment to improve their overall combat power...
Everything led Lu Yu to that group of people.
Maybe because he had dealt with the school, or maybe he had been familiar with the style of some people in Solon, Lulu also keenly felt that something was wrong.
"It's not just this group of summoning masters, there is also the shadow of Solon's royal family behind them."
The cannon fodders worked hard with overpayment, and after the results were achieved, the summoning masters would naturally be sought after, and fame and fortune would come one after another. At the moment when the summoning was exhausted, no one could judge whether they were true or false. The rumored "glutton" was in the remote southwest of Mela, far away from the four major countries and the school circle, and was not a big deal at all.
The beginning of the magic tide made them look forward to and seek the leadership of the school in the new era.
The first step they are taking is to fight against the dyeing and accumulate reputation, and Solon is naturally happy to see more disposable war weapons to "add bricks and tiles" to the defense of his capital.
"Maybe there are various schools..." Lulu murmured.
"I don't have any conflicts with the major schools." Lu Yu choked halfway through his words.
Lulu reminded: "Do you remember? You read but didn't reply to the requests sent by the spokespersons of various schools in your correspondence. They don't think you are a summoner with integrity. They only think you are hypocritical and arrogant. You are more difficult to get along with than these summoning masters."
The long silence between the two made the young man more uneasy. He didn't know what was wrong with the scroll, so he had to wait silently.
Lu Yu raised his head: "Where is the place to buy the scroll?"
"If you need it, I'll give it to you." The young man, who had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, said hurriedly.
"I think you misunderstood. I just want to meet the person who sells the scroll."
"I think you can see it outside all the taverns. Although Rodmir has entered wartime alert, there are sufficient supplies. Many foreign adventurers and professional mercenaries will go there to consume. As long as you go to crowded places, you can always run into them."
Lu Yu nodded, returned the scroll to the young man, and reminded him: "If you don't write down this template, throw it away as soon as possible."
"Ah... this... but I wrote it down..." The young man muttered softly, "This should save my life in an emergency."
"Find a time to try the template I gave you. If you think it's useful, then believe me and forget the template recorded in this suspicious scroll..." Lu Yu considered it again and again, and said bluntly, "They are liars, you have been deceived, and if you don't want to have an accident during use, it's best not to touch it forever."
He didn't explain any more. As long as the young man tried the template, he would naturally know that what he said was true. The most urgent task was to find out how many people were selling this template and how widely it was circulated.
The two of them didn't waste much effort. Outside several bustling taverns in the outer city of the capital, they saw these scroll merchants wearing long robes and looking for magicians to sell.
"Sir, do you want to summon templates? The spirit of the immersion invades, and everyone is in danger. Summoning is the lowest-cost means of resistance. Are you sure you don't want to improve it?" After taking Lu Yu to a slightly quieter corner, they immediately started selling.
The merchant's hooked nose hidden under the hood was particularly conspicuous in the swaying firelight, and his mercenary smile made it almost impossible to detect the magic power surging in him.
"Oh, how to improve it?" Lu Yu asked along the topic.
"Simple, we have a brand new summoning template. Although the probability of summoning success is a little low, these small flaws are exchanged for powerful summons to help. Just imagine, in a desperate moment, the summons come to fight for you to kill a way out... This is a life-saving trump card!"
Lulu, who was already furious, suppressed her anger and snorted coldly: "Who knows the quality of your summoning templates? Unqualified templates will only put us in danger. Besides, with such a powerful template, why did it come before? Never heard of it?"
The businessman chuckled. He looked around, confirmed that his companions were still watching, and introduced in a low voice: "This template is said to be the latest masterpiece of Lord Glutton, who provided the new summoning template."
Lu Yu's eyes suddenly widened.
Seeing Lu Yu's reaction, the businessman was very satisfied: "The customer seems to know the goods. Your Lord Glutton's summoning level is not low. Although he talks about sharing templates, he actually hides the best ones. I don’t know who leaked this information, but…”
The businessman just laughed, but stopped talking.
Lulu, who suddenly thought of something, clenched her fists and pushed the topic forward on Lu Yu's behalf.
"How did you obtain these templates?"
"Guests don't need to ask for details. I have already said that no one knows why the new template was leaked. Maybe it was just an accident. Maybe the glutton secretly released it and wanted to find someone to conduct experiments on him... Who knows specifically? We He's just a well-informed businessman. Having said all that... Sir, Madam, do you want to buy it or not?"
"We have no money."
"Twenty silver coins are enough. It's high quality and cheap."
"Eighteen pieces?"
Businessmen kept offering lower prices behind Lu Yu.
After realizing that he couldn't stay, he sighed and cursed: "Poor guy."
Lu Yu continued to contact businessmen, and almost every businessman used different methods to imply that his template was written by a glutton. Some even swore that it was written by a glutton, but it was still covered up by the official for unknown reasons.
In the chat room, Lu Yu remained silent, and Lulu didn't say anything either. She knew what he needed most now was silence.
The school went even further than they imagined, and their behavior was so shameless that it was disgusting.
Not only do they want to steal Lu Yu's fame and fortune from sharing templates, but they also plan to further stigmatize Lu Yu.
Gluttons can scare ordinary people by eating sea monsters and humans alive, but they are ineffective against magicians. The overpaid summoning template fills this gap.
Lulu could foresee that all recorded cases of death due to overpayment on the battlefield would be recorded on Lu Yu's head after being classified and archived. After the war subsides, Lu Yu would at best just "balance his merits and demerits", and most likely he would be someone who was fooled. Being spurned and reviled.
Lu Yu had no chance to defend himself. No one would believe him if he stood up and said that the template had nothing to do with him. Since the introduction of the new template, the summoning template has been linked to the name Glutton. Excellent and outstanding templates are first gluttons and then gluttons. Only then will the magicians consider it to be the masterpiece of the summoning masters.
"We must stop the use of overpayment templates!" Lulu said.
"It can't be stopped. If we stop it now, those people will declare in unison that there was an accident in the overpayment template as a test product. I made this statement to avoid responsibility."
Lu Yu knew very well the tricks of this group of scum, and clarifying the facts and issuing statements would not help at all. There were ten thousand ways for the school and nobles to misinterpret his message, and their voices were much louder than the "Gluttons".
Arguing whether a template is the work of a glutton is tantamount to explaining how many bowls of jelly you have eaten. As long as you want to explain, there will be countless facts waiting to be "clarified". One mouth is not worth thousands of mouths, let alone What's more, in this era where information transmission is full of limitations, his voice as a glutton is very weak. Compared with the deep-rooted power of the school and nobles in the local area, he is almost like a joke.
He has not touched the interests of the school, but he is considered "arrogant and difficult to get along with" by them. He is immediately treated as an enemy. Insidious methods are endless, and the "masters" who have learned to summon are assisting him, digging holes for him and preparing for him. Very rocky.
And he seemed to have done only one thing, and that was to provide a template for this group of rulers who were battered by the infection.
"We...can't do anything?" Lulu suddenly felt a trace of anger. She felt that dropping a fireball at the Solon Palace tonight and killing all the scum including Dewek might bring peace to this land. Come to a different future.
Lu Yu touched Lulu's head and pinched her cheek: "I just tasted the suffering you suffered back then. Don't worry, I don't care."
Lu Yu looked into Lulu's bright eyes and smiled with satisfaction: "Don't I have you now? This is enough. If it weren't for the impure spirit, and the magic power is fluctuating so fiercely now, I should have been in the territory for you. Prepare all kinds of delicious food for you to enjoy, or take a rare break and play some sports that are only available in my world, such as football, basketball, volleyball, etc... I have a lot of things I plan to bring to you, this is Good things that only belong to our territory.”
"Lulu, don't forget, we have the power not to play with them, and this power will only get stronger in the future."
"No one can force us to end. We are here just out of kindness and for ourselves, but it is by no means an obligation. Who is a friend who can communicate and who is a disgusting friend? This disaster clearly reflects , we should be happy.”
Lulu tried her best to feel the touch of Lu Yu's fingers, and said unwillingly: "But I'm so angry...They stole your things, but they can be safe and sound, but a shameless villain can steal a high position and call himself a master sanctimoniously. !”
"Who said they will be safe?" Lu Yu looked at the direction of the Duke's mansion with a sneer on his face. "With the enemy at hand, I will not argue with them for the time being. After the disaster, they will spit out everything they have eaten."
Back to the Duke's manor again, everyone here is in a hurry.
Before he could ask, a high-level magician floated in the air and shouted: "All members of the Summoner Corps are ready for battle, the infiltration is coming, the infiltration is coming!"
Lu Yu and Lulu looked at each other, and they saw the horror in each other's eyes.
"How can it be so fast?"
"Isn't the infiltration still on the great plains?"
Someone in the legion also asked what they were thinking.
"The infected magicians released group magic that can increase speed. Several legions retreating from the front line were attacked and suffered heavy losses. The number of infected increased again."
"With the help of the infected magicians, the crystal giant quickly broke the temporary defense line built by Archmage Solon. Seventeen archmages died for their country. They are not far from the capital. Assemble, assemble!"
The situation is actually far more serious than what this high-level magician said. The number of archmages who died in the temporary defense line is not seventeen, but thirty-seven, three of whom are seventh-level.
The two legions were completely wiped out in this sniper battle that delayed the advance of the crystal giant. The opponent's combat power exceeded the cognition of every high-level magician.
Devik trembled all over when he saw the battle report. The messenger who escaped by chance said that the temporary defense line was hit by a purple light. The purple light left a deep gully on the ground like a sharp knife. Many magicians were evaporated before they could even react. On the cracked ground, the boiling magic power cooked every soldier of the legion, leaving no bones.
The high-level wizard who survived the first attack wanted to gather up the remnants and retreat, but found that he could not use any magic power, and even the words he spoke turned into a strange language with unknown meaning.
The crystal giant strode towards them with a flash of purple light, but they could only watch helplessly, unable to take any countermeasures, and finally were completely submerged by the infected spirit in the chaos.
"How can there be such a creature in this world, which can break magic, but can also use magic, can pollute people's minds, and can control them... What on earth is it, what is it!"
Devik couldn't understand why such a monster appeared in his land, instead of Sligo, Kodzoen, and the Theocracy.
