My summons are weird

As the sun set, a peculiar horned owl with light blue feathers hovered over Burning Creek City, its sharp eyes scrutinizing the crowds walking in the city-state.

The bakery's chimneys belched light gray streaks of smoke, leaving "vibrant" trails in the evening sky.

The peddlers of various races who peddled goods showed no fear on their faces, and they were still enthusiastically selling cheap and cheap goods to passers-by.

From time to time, a few drunks staggered out of the tavern, and fell to the side of the road within a few steps. If the guards patrolling the city hadn't discovered it, freezing to death would be the only end.

For these drunks, the guards did not punish them, but led them to a notice, and after announcing the change of lord, they let them go.

Tania's Green Shade Leader did not hesitate to take down two large city-states to the south after learning that Zenil had launched a rebellion, and Burning Creek City was the third.

Burning Creek City, one of the southernmost city-states of Solon, is adjacent to the lava mountains. It is rich in geothermal resources and is famous for its geysers and hot springs. It is also the busiest goods distribution center at the southernmost end of Solon. Businessmen are always keen to wash away their dirt and relieve fatigue with hot springs in this ancient city.

It took Tanya little effort to seize this border city-state. Although the lord stationed here is his father's confidant, it is obvious that the other party does not intend to practice his loyalty to his father with his life. When he found that the soldiers were approaching the city, he quickly switched Take a stand, take an oath of allegiance.

Watching the gradually departing eagle owl in the sky, Tanya lightly instructed several consuls and justices around her: "Go back to the lord's mansion and go underground to rest for a while."

The confidantes who were promoted by Tania from the bottom were all smart people, and they realized something immediately, but they knew the wisdom of Her Highness the Princess, so they did not say a word, and obeyed obediently.

Crimson walked out of the city with a flag embroidered with a black owl pattern in her hand, and stood quietly in the wilderness. The cold wind blew the flag loudly.

The black owls hiding in the dark appeared. They walked lightly, and the snow was like a flat ground. The black cloak and the owl's wings fluttered and danced behind them.

The black owls released trembling magic power all over their bodies. They leaned closer to Scarlet and stopped at a distance of about a hundred steps. They were covered by masks, and their expressions could not be seen clearly, but their voices were extremely indifferent.

"His Royal Highness has become a rebel, you still want to follow?" A black owl asked, ignoring the flag in her hand.

"His Royal Highness Tanya, please tell me about the mansion."

"Black owl and rebellion, nothing to talk about."

"Then you should fight me without hesitation."

"..."

In the silence, a black owl took off its mask, followed by the second, and the third...

The cold eyes of more than a dozen black owls focused on Chi Hong, but Chi Hong was happy and unafraid.

"You are valuable, you don't deserve to die." The black owl's cold words sounded again, as if echoing the howling cold wind after nightfall.

The corners of Chi Hong's mouth raised, but she didn't say anything else, just repeated again: "Your Highness, please tell me about the mansion."

After finishing speaking, she compared the "please" gesture, polite and elegant, as if the group of black owls in front of them, bearing the name of the will of the empire, were just children who were playing wildly in the evening and couldn't find their way home.

The black owl silently walked through the streets gradually lit up with torches, observing those who stopped because of curiosity from the corner of their eyes, passed through the luxurious atrium of the mansion to the atrium decorated with gold fountains, and bowed softly under the gentle voice of the waiter. While saying hello, I stepped into the library room filled with incense.

Behind the rows of bookcases, Tania held a thick book in her hand, turned around slowly, with a quiet and confident smile on her face, and said politely: "It's an honor to meet you, it belongs to Solon imperial will."

The black owl first lingered on the two mages behind Tania for a while, and then focused on him again.

"I hope you can say enough words to explain the rebellion, otherwise... you should know why we came."

Tania closed the book in her hand without haste, and the black owl could vaguely see the words "Chronicle" on the cover. It was not until Scarlet Red handed the book to the leader of the black owl that he could see the words clearly ——The Chronicle of Melias.

"Melias 136, at the request of the Senate, which still had power at that time, the 'Snow Monster' was established."

"The Senate called this group of people who guarded the empire and hid in the shadows the 'Imperial Will'. Maintaining the continuation of the empire is their highest duty and mission. Their original intention was to weaken the power of Emperor Melias at that time. Restricting his growing ambitions, but maybe even they never thought that the 'snow monster' would accompany Melias through a long time, and finally became Melias' last, walking on the earth. 'consciousness'."

"This is the first description of the 'Imperial Will' in the history books, and it is also the origin of the 'Imperial Will' of the four major human kingdoms of Mera."

"Whether it's Sligo's [Silencer], Theocracy's [Avatar of Radiance], Kordzon's [Shadow Guard], or you [Black Owl], they all absorb that bird in the process of crawling and rolling. A work completely copied from the experience of the giant owl."

Compared with the dragon family, the number one overlord of Mela, Melias, as the most extensive in the history of Mela, has reached unprecedented heights in philosophy, literature, politics, and military force during its existence.

It is also because of this that all the tribes of Meera have learned a lot from this giant owl, maybe it is the architectural style-even the blood races of the deadly enemy, the superior race, still carry it out uprightly, and Solon has absorbed it completely. ; Perhaps it is the political structure, such as the Council of Elders and the Grand Consul, which have profoundly influenced the contemporary Mera, and since testing the waters of the monarchy, it has contributed to the current "ecology" of Mera by itself.

It is dead, but this land is still full of its shadow.

"Because it is borrowing and carrying, we are also going through the same process as Melias at this moment..."

"Words of disobedience!" a black owl scolded.

Tania laughed loudly: "I mean, the evolution process of the will of the empire, respected black owl, what are you referring to?"

The scolding black owl was stunned, and the cold expression was quickly replaced by embarrassment.

The leading black owl has understood Tanya's hint: "We are here for the survival of Solon at this moment. The rebellion between you and the Storm Prince is shaking this great country."

Tanya savored the word "survival" playfully, raised her chin, and said, "But, this is a civil war."

Tanya raised her voice: "Zenil and I are both the direct heirs of Emperor Divik of Solon. This is a 'corrective' purge launched from the bottom up, not a rebellion. In any case, Solon will continue to exist."

Many black owls seemed to wake up from a dream. They looked at each other in blank dismay, and then stared at the oldest leader with some trepidation.

Tania continued: "Like Melias, [Silencer], [Shadow Guard], [Avatar of Radiance], and you all have forgotten your position of guarding for a long time. It is not shameful. There is nothing permanent in this world, but if you really claim that everything is for Solon..."

Tania curled her lips: "That would be a bit ridiculous, because many of you have never really regarded the mortal beings that make up the country as part of 'Solon'. The so-called will of the empire is always very vague, isn't it?"

The leading black owl restrained its breath little by little, and after a long time, he smiled.

"His Royal Highness Tanya's eloquence, I am completely convinced."

"Before the war is over, the black owls might as well stay in the shaded territory, as long as you don't have any ill intentions towards my important consul and magistrate, everything will be unimpeded." Tania said, "Father and I, are different."

"It's just different now." Black Owl corrected.

"At least under my management, they haven't starved and froze to death in the wilderness for the time being."

Facing the hand that Tanya extended in front of him, the black owl wanted to reach out and hold it. After thinking for a while, he chose to perform Solon's knight salute in a half-kneeling posture. The only difference was that they did not bow their heads. , always looking directly at Tanya.

The many magicians guarding Tanya breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes full of fanaticism.

The black owl came menacingly, but was persuaded by his highness with reason, and was close to submitting. What a legend is this deed!

Captain Black Owl asked: "There are also our companions at the Prince of Storms, and they will also make choices."

"You just obey habitually. When the cloud covering your eyes disappears, you will naturally see other options."

...

...

Back at the castle in the green shade collar, when only red was left in private, all the ecstasy that Tanya had suppressed for a long time surged up. She hugged red almost out of composure, paced excitedly in the room, and waved her hands with a flushed face. arm.

No one knew better than her how significant it was to keep the black owl in its territory.

"Father, since I was a child, you have never given me a gift that satisfies me. This time, thank you very much."

Tania knows that the duration of this war will most likely be measured in years, and the black owl who bears the will of the empire will gradually wake up and wait for the end of the civil war.

And his stupid father will realize how stupid he has done after seeing the black owl go away and never return.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

In the stalemate of the civil war, the possibility of all three parties claiming to be Solon's orthodox already exists. The black owl will inevitably usher in the day of choice. The more people he can win now, the more favorable it will be.

"In the green shade, there are already seventeen magicians who have advanced to the fifth and sixth ranks after the tide of magic power. The tree planted by His Highness is bearing fruit."

Since she was a child, she was on the fringes of the royal family, she didn't get the attention of her parents, and was even used by her father as a bait to provoke competition between siblings...but she still broke out a path of her own!

Looking out of the window, the joy in Tanya's eyes dimmed a little bit.

The breeze was blowing, and Tanya's hair fluttered. She stared into the distance and thought of a person she hadn't recalled for a long time.

"Lulutis, it would be great if you were still..."

Perhaps it was because of recent major events one after another, Tania was shocked to find that Lulu's appearance in her memory had begun to blur and was no longer clear.

"If... I chose to protect you at that time, would I..."

Tanya dismissed the idea in a panic.

"No, in this way, the Crimson Witch will be firmly bound to me. Those vicious, bloody, and appalling gossip will make me, and the reputation of the Green Shade Collar, plummet. I must have it!"

"..."

"Crimson, open up the trade channel of the Molten Mountains, get in touch with the Chenxi leader, and say that the trade route agreed upon can now be operated."

After Chi Hong left, Tanya clenched her fists: "At least, I still have a chance to fight for it. She may not have completely forgotten me."

...

...

The snotty Benlong kept rubbing his head against Lulu, the huge teardrops directly wetted her clothes, and the snot made her all over sticky.

Lulu didn't care, she patiently comforted the stupid child who once again thought he was abandoned, until he turned his stomach happily and rolled on the ground.

Huogu really didn't see this scene. After confirming that the group was safe and sound, he wanted to go to sleep, but after seeing Vanessa floating behind Lu Yu who was rubbing the white wolf's head angrily, he lowered his head curiously.

"Is this a new engraved summon?" Hogu asked friendlyly, "What's your name?"

"Vanessa, I'm a newcomer magician." Vanessa's self-introduction was really a bit... unique.

Sera, who came late, was about to take the opportunity to hug Lulu, but the name she heard suddenly made her stop, her head turned to Lu Yu a little bit stiffly, and the moment she met Vanessa's eyes, she trembled all over.

Vanessa just smiled, then grabbed a bouncing little guy and rubbed it directly.

Groups of slimes arrived with Olga and Valen. Compared with when they left, the variety was much richer, but it also troubled these two "herdsmen" who are deeply loved by slimes.

Now slimes already have the consciousness of being pets, and they always want to get into people's arms. Just returning to Chenxi led the way, Lu Yu was swooped down by several slimes of different attributes. The jelly-like The touch is so irresistible that Lu Yu holds three different slimes in his arms like ice cream balls...

"Just going out for more than a month, there is no need for such a big battle... Don't ring the bell, everyone is busy, there is no need to do anything extra."

Lu Yu stopped the excited Judith and divided the slime between her two.

He was already too busy, the little wolves on the white wolf used his body as a springboard, and landed on Lu Yu's shoulders. Because they jumped their heads, the two unlucky ones could only grab Lu Yu's clothes and hang them on their bodies.

Lu Yu, who looked like a clothes hanger, turned his back to the white wolf helplessly: "Drop it quickly."

The white wolf just stretched out his tongue and licked Lu Yu's face lightly, but did not make any other movements. Lu Yu could only feel the whining from his clothes, but there was nothing he could do. The cubs were all so frightened that they rolled to the floor.

After appeasing Stupid Dragon, he let him bite Lulu at the corner of his clothes, looked through the crowd, and met Lu Yu.

Looking at each other, they both smiled.

Go home feeling good.
