Chapter 440 439 The One Who Holds the Key

Chapter 440 439. The person who holds the key

The summoned Xiao An was not in a normal state. He did not react at all to what Lu Yu said. It was not until a few minutes later that he seemed to wake up from a dream. He slowly walked towards Lu Yu and swallowed the fog demon back into his body. inside.

Although he was very reluctant, Lu Yu still picked up Lulu's magic recovery potion and drank it in one gulp. When the magic power gradually filled up, he started to summon again.

The magic power that was supposed to flow in the summoning ritual encountered high walls. No matter how hard Lu Yu tried, he could not break through.

This is no longer as simple as feeling blocked, the summoning ritual is closing the original magic node!

Ever since Orkus refined the shaping summons from the summarization of past summoning knowledge and used it to create a new template, this stable and reliable template has never had an accident.

When summoning the second summon object using the ordinary summoning template, Lu Yu also felt a strange feeling of congestion, but the final result was that the summoning was successful.

Seeing No. 2 flowing on the ground like mercury, then clinging to the wall and transforming into an ivy, Lu Yu fell into deep thought.

Orcus's communication came that night and seemed to be greatly disturbed, with intermittent messages, but the phenomenon he described was consistent with what Lu Yu encountered.

Ordinary summoning templates can still be used normally, but shaped summoning objects can no longer be summoned at all.

Lu Yu glanced at Xiao An who was lying on the wall with Summon No. 2, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be stuck before a certain critical time and forcibly summoned Xiao An.

"The shape summoning template is no longer available? Is this a stable summoning template that was hard to find? Does it have to change with the changes in the summoning ceremony?"

Orkus's words were far less anxious than at first, and he seemed to have begun to understand the reason.

Combined with the disappearance of the Summoning Temple, there are various signs that the world consciousness is now re-injecting living water into the Summoning School, and this dry river is about to be nourished by gurgling water.

The world flooded with magic this time did not forget to call.

Orkus seemed to have forgotten that he was still recording the message. After thinking about this, he was first surprised, then silent, and then choked and weak sobbing came from the other side of the statue.

Bread changed from his usual habit of opposing Orcus, and instead teased Orcus for crying at his age, and then handed over the handkerchief.

Lu Yu knew that Orkus, who had collected and sorted out the summoning knowledge and preserved the summoning resurrection fire, was lonely. From the knowledge, he glimpsed the struggles and cries of summoners in the past, and his unwillingness to Keep it in mind and hope that you can rely on your own strength to see opportunities to change the current situation.

After decades of doing actions that seemed meaningless to outsiders, without any positive feedback, Orkus only relied on his breath and the heavy sense of responsibility he voluntarily shouldered to support himself.

Whether he is obeying the edict of the "one hundred thousand" emperor who is now famous in Selel, or participating in an expansion war that he does not want, he is doing his best to maintain his identity and status in the secular trend. Only In this way, money and power can still be in his hands, and only in this way can he continue his mission.

"If I don't do it, no one will do it anymore, and I'm not living for myself."

Orkus once said with a smile that after meeting him, he felt a lot more relaxed. At least someone could take over the huge collection of books and knowledge, and they would not be like the descendants of summoners in the past, who piled them up in the corner of the mansion as rags and let the insects Ants gnaw at it, gathering dust and never seeing the light of day.

After calming down, Orkus sent another message: "How long do you think this situation will last?"

Lu Yu actually couldn't give a definite answer, but he still hesitated to make a judgment: "The ordinary summoning template only fluctuated slightly, and the overall operation was normal. The engraved summoning object is obviously independent of the ordinary summoning, so it is still stable. I am I wonder... could the point of change by 'He' be to adapt the summoning ritual to more templates?"

After hearing this, the originally silent dragon slayer silently came to Orkus and Bread, took off his helmet, and pricked up his ears.

"It's an interesting guess. Do you think that the 'description and depiction' that Segro suggested before will change is not accurate. 'He' does not intend to completely abolish the original summoning ritual, but to establish several summoning rituals at the same time?"

Holding the mercury giant sword that was the incarnation of the second summon in her left hand, and holding Xiao An in her right hand, she happily enjoyed the status of the engraved summon. After hearing Orkus's words, she also curiously approached the statue.

"It's still just a guess. 'Describe and depict' is simple and easy to use. Now that the magic environment has undergone tremendous changes, it can continue to be used with only a little discipline. It will continue to exist as the most basic summoning method for any summoner. Maybe we It can be simply named, Regular Summon or Normal Summon."

Lu Yu's words instantly attracted Orkus, and he immediately realized another meaning.

"Regular summoning... naturally there are different summoning methods and corresponding rituals... just like branches of other schools? Magic potions can be subdivided into poisons, wound potions, amplifying potions, etc. If you continue to subdivide it, It can be divided into oral, topical, delayed effect, timely effect, etc.”

"That's right." Lu Yu was not surprised by Orkus's quick association and continued.

"If summoning also starts to be subdivided, then summons with the same power, the same function or the same attribute may correspond to a template. Using this new template to summon summons of a specified category may not only have the advantages of stability and mana saving like our summoning of shaping summons, but also summons that come with it may even have special bonuses, or... the summoner, with special bonuses to make up for the shortcomings of our own combat power."

Although it has been conceived before, with the communication with Orcus, those special ideas that can be called "now is fantasy time" have become more and more detailed.

At both ends of the statue, Lu Yu and Orcus seemed to be the fan authors who supplemented the official settings. They became more and more excited as they talked, not caring whether the final result was as they expected. They were happy to feel that the summoning had regained hope.

After exchanging a wave of ideas, both of them felt that if the Summoning Temple was still there, they should more or less give some advice to Seguro.

The irritability of not being able to summon the cute little shaping creature was relieved. Lu Yu took Xiao An from Xu Yu's hand and hugged her comfortably for a long time, letting her wrap her tentacles around her waist and put them on her shoulders.

"I don't know if summoning you will consume a lot of magic power after the change. I also plan to summon all of you at once to form an elemental team or merge..."

Lu Yu, who originally planned to take a short break for a day and do nothing, hesitated for a while and smiled and picked up the exercise list given to him by Lulu and Sera.

The prospect and expectation of a better future can always bring people endless motivation to move forward. It's not just Lu Yu who is full of energy. Yucao, the leader of the civil engineering and craftsman group, is also communicating with the craftsmen enthusiastically.

The craftsman group is not large, with a total of only six people, including Yucao herself, there are only seven people. In the Chenxi Territory where yin and yang are seriously unbalanced, the craftsman group is the only one with more yang and less yin, with as many as four male members!

Interestingly, among the seven craftsmen, except for Yucao, who started smelting and forging because of his love of learning and interest, the remaining six were forced to take electives or learned some basic knowledge by accident.

Basic smelting and forging are not a problem for them. It is easy to make farm tools and weapons, but if they want to go further, explore forward, and enter the field of magic equipment mentioned by Lu Yu, they can only rely on their past experience in forging and magic use to speak.

Yucao is going to lead such a small group with simple personnel configuration, but she does not lack confidence at all. The craftsmen group is even more ambitious because they have a favorable environment that the craftsmen of the entire Mera continent cannot have-the full support from the three lords.

This is enough. It has never been stupidity that has restricted the development of craftsmen, but the shadow cast by the magician.

Trust is more important to them than gold.

The discussion meeting of the craftsmen group on magic equipment was not serious. Influenced by Laurend and seeing the style of their three lords, Yucao personally recorded the content as a clerk and mastered the direction of the topic throughout the process.

When Yucao took out a magic crystal, the discussion reached its peak.

Yucao arranged a simple communication array on the ground, and then placed the crystal in the center of the array, signaling everyone to retreat.

After guiding the crystal into an active state with magic power, everyone present felt the magic power flowing out of it continuously and entering the completed communication array.

Sand and stones flew, as if there were invisible forces repelling each other in the void. The entity at the center of the array was squeezed and ejected to the surroundings. The violent magic power raised gusts of wind and hit everyone's cheeks.

The intensity was not strong and there was no threat, but the momentum was terrifying.

The communication array was completely destroyed, and the ground was filled with an unpleasant burnt smell. Some nodes of the array were visible to the naked eye.

The crystal in the center was dim and hot, making people doubt whether throwing it out at this time would have the same effect as Lord Lulutis's potion.

"Did you find any problems?" Yucao looked around at everyone.

One team member held his chin and said solemnly: "This crystal is different from the crystal we normally use. It can't directly work on the magic circle?"

Immediately, a team member corrected: "No, it's not that it can't work directly. The magic power in the crystal is indeed working, but it seems that some force caused them to collapse in the end?"

Yucao took out two fist-sized crystals from the small backpack he carried with him, put them on the ground, and motioned everyone to watch and compare them with normal crystals.

Everyone was like picking ripe watermelons on the street, either patting them to listen to the sound, shaking them with their hands to feel the weight, or sensing them with magic power, but no one could tell which magic crystal was normal and which was special.

"Sister Yucao, you said it's very special, a creation used in magic equipment, but we can't see what's different."

One team member seemed to have experience in tinkering with crystals and jade. She murmured: "The only thing that can be confirmed is that the magic power in these two crystals has gone through a process of nothing to something."

Yucao said: "Lord Lu Yu said a very interesting word when I was holding this crystal to communicate with him, encryption."

"The magician matches the magic array in the magic equipment with the magic crystal in a one-way manner. Once it fails to match the current magic array, the magic power in the crystal will go out of control."

It all started by chance. Lulu once took Benlong back to the ruins of the previous house, just to beat up the aliens who bullied Benlong and wanted to suck his bones and marrow.

But after resolving the grudge, Lulu stood by the ruins and was moved by the scene. She planned to see if there were any souvenirs worth taking away in the large pit that had accumulated water.

After draining the water and digging down, Lulu actually found some surprises.

In the deepest basement of the house, Lulu stored a large number of empty magic cores and crystals, waiting for time to refill them, but the accident came earlier than "time".

Adhering to the idea of ​​giving Chenxiling a subsidy for his family, Benlong moved this batch of crystals back and stored them in the corner of the warehouse.

It was not until the other day when the combat team members planned to replace some magic cores for their staffs that they discovered the abnormality of the magic crystals.

The well-made staffs either had no reaction or smoked when using magic, and some even showed signs of burning and explosion.

The puzzled members of the combat team reported to Sigrid, thinking that she was cheated by the black-hearted businessman, but Sigrid, who checked the list, insisted that she had never purchased such a batch of strange crystals with a little purple light in the dark blue.

It was not until the rolling stupid dragon said that this was the treasure he and Lulu brought home that everyone solved the doubts, but new doubts also followed. They were all crystals, why did these crystals break everyone's staffs?

After continuous testing, Lu Yu's scalp was numb. He hurriedly contacted Lulu, who was far away in the Silent Mountains, and told them what he had seen and heard.

"A very powerful 'field' will be formed briefly in the magic explosion area. Remember the rags that we witnessed in the Silent Mountains, which were 'enchanted' by the magic-breaking crystal giant?"

Lulu on the other side of the statue was breathing rapidly, and became more and more excited as she spoke, "The magic field can also modify the magic in the crystal, causing them to change... Sure enough, my previous guess was right, Sera, my guess was right, those old guys in the school sneered and said that I was young and hot-tempered when the experiment failed, but I was right!"

Hogu's voice sounded: "Can I ask what this means?"

"Once you can fully master this skill, it means that the weapons and equipment are in your hands, and the key to activate it is in my hands." Lulu said proudly, "Without a matching energy source, no matter how powerful something is, it is just a pile of broken copper and iron."

Sorry, I caught a cold yesterday and slept all day. It's not good now. I have to continue sleeping after getting up to write.
