My summons are weird

The sudden fluctuation of magic power made Lu Yu subconsciously touch out his own jellyfish figurine, and the small glowing tentacles are the signal for the work of the embedded magic circle.

"Sorry, it looks like a friend is contacting me."

Lu Yu didn't shy away from Laurent, and triggered the message.

"Hello... ah... ah, communication test, can you receive it?" This is Royer's voice.

Lu Yu replied helplessly: "I can hear it, I forgot to remind you to test when I was in the territory."

When Lu Yu put down the statue, Laurent suddenly asked: "The development of the magic tools you have seen along the way is very lagging behind. Many functions have not been improved for more than a hundred years, or even hundreds of years. Do you know why?"

This is really a question that Lu Yu has always been curious about but never understood in detail.

Take the transmission of information as an example. Among the existing communication methods, the most frequently used by magicians is the magic courier. This kind of courier is constructed with magic power and remembers certain specific locations. The courier can quickly complete the delivery task. These are the "information circles" improved and used by a very small number of people, which are the jellyfish statues in Lu Yu's hands.

If it is an ordinary person, then the only way to transmit information is human flesh transmission.

Since the emergence of magic, the time has not been long or short. Considering the thinness of magic power in the early days, the use of magic power on a large scale began about a thousand years ago.

If we carefully examine the invention and application of magic props in the last thousand years, we will find that after the early blowout, many props have begun to stagnate and change.

Lu Yu put on an attitude of humbly seeking knowledge, waiting for Laurende's teaching.

"There are many reasons and they are very complicated, but the root cause is the continuous improvement of the status of magicians and the monopoly of schools."

Laurende said: "As the environment is constantly changing and the magic power is becoming more and more intense, the limit of the power that a magician can master is also quietly expanding. From the early lagging behind the warriors, to the later stalemate with the warriors, and now the warriors must Only by uniting with artisans can we compete with magicians, and magicians have also begun to suppress artisans after their status has been continuously improved."

"The magicians are very clear that warriors have now reached the point where they need the blessing of foreign objects to compete with them. Although the existence of the power of craftsmen will help them a little, it will make warriors and ordinary people more powerful. Chance to kill them."

Laurent sighed: "Magicians can't bear the possibility that an ordinary person who doesn't know magic at all can pick up a weapon or a device that can harm or even kill them. This power bestowed by the gods is in the palm of your hand, and you are determined not to give convenience to ordinary people, or even to low-level magicians. They pass on knowledge in various cumbersome ways, and the process is painful and difficult."

"The existing high-level magic that has been circulated outside, that is, the "universal magic" in the mouth of magicians, most of them have already had improved versions, and the reason why they have become universal is because they have many "disabilities"."

"The birth of the school has exacerbated this occlusion. In the glorious era, the various schools of Mela still communicated with each other, and the improvement of magic equipment was still active. However, after the glorious era, most magicians could only join one school in their lifetime. Leaving the school or even It is possible to be hunted down, to be 'ass' rather than correct, and to be closed rather than open thoughts are popular."

"Knowledge is no longer a brilliance that brings happiness and progress, but a tool for magicians to consolidate their status."

Lu Yu remembered the gift that Laurent gave Sigrid.

The legendary craftsman Halster was assassinated by a magician just after he perfectly fused the magic-breaking crystal with the weapon, and the casting process was lost.

In this depressing environment, even if some magicians want to make improvements, they need to beware of backstabs from their peers.

Lulu once said that there are a large number of wild mages, but it is difficult to compete with the formal schools. Only one or two surprises are amazing, and geniuses who improve magic by themselves cannot reverse the situation at all.

What's more, many of those amazing and brilliant geniuses eventually established new schools and became part of the occlusion.

Lulu obtained the opportunity to learn magic systematically through Tania, and only then did she have the opportunity to realize her talent.

Sera, through Laurent, catapulted to the top of Meera's new generation of wizards.

During the time in Mela, Lu Yu has never seen the works of wild mages among the books he read. Most of the magic books that can be bought on the market introduce magic only to the third level, and the knowledge above the third level is only Trade between wizards, and if you really want to learn from scratch...

Lulu's parents' love for her is so passionate and wise, presumably on the day when Lulu showed her talent, they were ready to act like cows and horses, just to let Lulu avoid the difficult task of wild mages. way...

Restricted by class, they who have struggled for a lifetime are too aware of the pain of poverty and humbleness, their dignity never belongs to them, and their fate is held in the hands of the well-dressed group.

For Lulu's future, they are willing to sacrifice everything, even their lives.

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" Lu Yu looked at Lulu's back with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Among the people I gave you, some are proficient in farming, and some are proficient in craftsmanship." Laurent proudly boasted, "They are all great young people, and they will bring many surprises to your territory."

"You said before that your dream is to make everyone around you happy and happy... You think this is not a big dream... No, you are wrong, this is the best dream."

Laurent stood up and motioned for Lu Yu to help him.

The two quietly left the laughing and noisy crowd, and walked into the quiet garden. The flowers that had almost withered still worked hard to provide the two of them with an intoxicating fragrance of flowers.

"I wouldn't want to be pope if I could."

Lu Yu raised his head and looked around in astonishment, and a figure flickered not far away, which made him break out in a cold sweat... Is this something that can be said directly?

"It doesn't matter, the incarnations of glory know about this, and some of them even witnessed the scene where I refused." Laurent smiled and looked at the shadow in the bushes not far away, "I don't know if any of you How many people."

"I still remember the reasons for the Pope's refusal." The Avatar of Radiance actually answered.

Laurende nodded: "At that time, I just wanted to respond to Maojing's love... She is really a wonderful girl. For me, even if she was almost beaten to death by the people of the Theocracy, she still stubbornly clung to the statue and refused to accept it." leave."

"Then the old Pope said to me... There are many people waiting for you to save... You should not give up your faith because of personal emotions, let alone miss this opportunity to realize your ideals and spread brilliance."

"I finally agreed." Laurent smiled bitterly. "For the sake of ideals, to make the people of the Theocracy live better than before... In order to change something, I did my best."

"Resolve external troubles and internal troubles; force those with vested interests to spit out part of it and give it to the poor; even though they gradually realize that the God of Radiance may not exist on the way, they still fabricate a more real lie about it, so that The dream of all believers continues..."

The moonlight fell from the gaps in the trees, and the mottled light illuminated Laurende's old face. He said these things did not show a proud expression, but a tired expression.

"Many of the deeper conflicts, it wasn't until my prestige rose to the top after 30 years in power that I had room to deal with it, and those stubborn people were convinced to spit out the fat they ate into their mouths...After I die, even if there are rules, The greedy ones will come back."

"Have I changed anything...it seems so, but I can foresee that this change will be short-lived, just like the glorious era in history..."

The incarnations of glory hidden in the darkness knelt down one after another, and someone tremblingly said, "We will protect the gift you left behind and defend the Church!"

"Didn't Melias have the will of the empire? Couldn't their imperial will from generation to generation feel the decline of Melias?" The pope said sharply, "When your enemy is not a specific person, but a consciousness, is it Emotions are an irresistible rolling tide, the era itself, what can you do... brilliance can disperse darkness, but it cannot make darkness disappear; steel knives can cut flowing water, and the flowing water will not stop because of this."

The Avatars of Radiance fell silent.

Laurende's haggard hands tightly grasped Lu Yu's shoulders, and the astonishing strength burst out of nowhere from his frail body, and Lu Yu was pinched in pain.

There seemed to be stars twinkling in those cloudy eyes due to serious illness and weakness, Laurende stared straight at Lu Yu, and said solemnly: "It is the most beautiful and most charming dream to make the person you like happy... Every goodness should be answered by another goodness."

"Work hard for the people and things you cherish, and try to change something if you have the power...Even if you do nothing, you can bring peace and happiness to these few people, and you are their hero...Great people are always happy Pain, I don’t want you, Sera, and Lulu to be in pain...I hope you are all happy and live a happy life...This road is too difficult, don’t take it lightly.”

"Time will eventually bring hope, just like the ebb and flow of the tide, standing on the shore when the tide rises and shouting, or reminding you when the tide is ebbing, is the greatest contribution to this world, and it is also the greatest contribution you have made to the world. proof."

Laurent suddenly turned his head and looked at the glorious incarnations kneeling in the darkness.

"Although you are the will of the Theocracy, please take care of me... One day, the Theocracy has to let you confront Lu Yu and the others, be gentle."

Lu Yu understood Laurent's intention of bringing him out. This was not only admonishing him with his life's experience, but also fighting for a distant protection for him.

The Avatars of Radiance fell silent.

"We... try our best."

The wrinkles on Laurent's face stretched out: "Thank you."

Immediately, Laurende stared at Lu Yu with pleading eyes.

Lu Yu came to his senses, but couldn't help asking: "Am I really the kind of person who forgets what's behind me on impulse?"

Hearing this, Laurent was stunned for a while, laughed a few times with a hoarse throat after talking too much, and then coughed. Luckily, Lu Yu brought water with him.

After moistening his throat, Laurent said, "It seems a little too anxious... It's not like me."

Lu Yu's heart warmed up, and he helped Laurende to go back: "The teaching is over, Mao Jing may still be waiting for you...there is not much time left, so we can't waste it, what did you say... Appreciate those around you."

Back near the garden, Maojing was indeed sitting where Laurent was just now.

Mao Jing's dissatisfaction was written on his face, and Laurent hurriedly explained: "I told Lu Yu something very important."

"What's important?" Mao Jing asked.

"Don't become someone like me...Leave you aside for eighty years."

Mao Jing trembled, and his expression softened: "Since that's the case, let's talk more, this is indeed an important matter."

Lu Yu wanted to say that it was over, but Mao Jing stretched out his hand to hold him down, signaling him to stay and listen to the class, and he walked briskly to the side.

"If you had to choose again...would you still be pope?" Lu Yu looked up at the stars.

"Yes." Laurent said without thinking.

"Why?"

"Although the brilliance will eventually fade away, at least I have left traces." Laurent's tone was firm, and then he changed the topic, "But if I can do it all over again... I will change something for Maojing by the way, so that this The wait is not so long... so that she can stand by my side and hug me calmly. Some things, only in retrospect can I find that I made the wrong choice. I was too conservative, which made Maojing suffer so much. It's a pity I can't afford to pay any more."

Mao Jing with her hands behind her back was grilling meat for the servants of the Pope's Tower. The smiles on her face were so charming that Laurend was intoxicated.

After a long silence, Laurent looked at the jellyfish statue that had sparked many conversations, and asked curiously, "Who sent the message?"

"Royer Fedina, one of Solon's six pillars."

"Solon...he should be in the Civita area now. According to the itinerary, Emperor Solon is about to arrive."

Regarding the emperor's tour, Lu Yu's mind was full of many famous scenes in history, and a certain element in film and television literature works was pulled to the fullest.

"Solon's territory is so vast, and the Civita area is close to the border...The safety of this road and the safety of the king's capital are all big problems."

Laurent glanced at Lu Yu and said meaningfully: "We all know it, so he himself knows it too, but he still does it..."

"Have a picture?"

"Bring all the heirs who meet the age. This is the first time that the emperor of the four major countries will go on tour..." Laurent said, "It is very troublesome to ensure the safety of the emperor himself, and the safety of the heirs...hehe."

Lu Yu is still too kind. When he was thinking about Emperor Solon's intentions, he had never thought of this before. He was so shocked that he was sweating profusely. This guess, which was completely beyond imagination, was pointed out by Laurent, which proves...it is very likely to happen!

"But... is it possible?"

"Who knows?" Laurent said unhurriedly, "Every emperor's mind is hard to guess, and it's not surprising that he is bored and fishing."
