Chapter 144 Three, the way forward
Walking out of the hospitalization building, Wen De was still thinking about what Sui Xiong said in his heart.
Because of bad luck, I became interested in retreating in the inner world, but after I realized that the reality was not very safe, I mustered up the courage again.
Wende was very moved by his friend's psychological journey. Sui Xiong made such a choice to better protect his family, and isn't he the same? Yes, the choice to be a "guardian" certainly has reasons why he wants to do something within his ability, but it also has his selfish intentions.
This is the city where Wende lived for twenty-one years. Although his parents are not here now, most of his other relatives, classmates who went to school together, friends and even strangers lived here.
And as for him, with a little effort, he can help them avoid such a terrible and ridiculous threat of demon invasion... How could he refuse such a good proposal?
(However, if you want to do this... I will probably be very busy in the next period of time...)
After accepting the recommendation from Wei Ye and Ling Fei, they made up for Wen De's ejaculation for a lot of things day and night. Generally speaking, it is not a simple thing to become a guardian of a certain area. Originally, such a thankless thing was something that most summoners were not willing to accept. Such a selection was quite strict. The character of the summoner, the organization of the inspection, and the recommendations of other summoners were indispensable. Even if they passed, they had to organize internal "training" for a period of time before they could be done.
Wende felt a little overwhelmed just by listening to Ling Fei’s brief introduction.
Fortunately, the situation in Chang'an is a bit special. Although Andalil died, the giant thing left behind still exists. The empire formed by so many demons gathered together is huge among all the demon clans that Wei Ye and Ling Fei have come into contact with. The threats to reality are obviously much more serious than the general situation.
So under the urgency of being in power, Wende's "inauguration" ceremony could be exempted, which was very simple. Wei Ye and Lingfei greeted the headquarters, and then the local government also informed him that the special department used to support the summoner operation was replaced by Qin Xiangxiang, who had had an experience with Wende last time and was quite tacit understanding with each other, and the whole process was completed.
Neither Wende nor Wei Ye, Ling Fei was too interested in wasting time and energy on boring traditional Chinese affairs. With that skill, Wei Ye and Ling Fei were more willing to seize the time to make up for Wende's bad knowledge and help Wende, who was not familiar with this job, give him a guide to the direction of his progress.
"Don't think your job is to eliminate it in time when demons invade reality."
Ling Fei once said this, and he said it was quite rude, "If you can only do this, then you can say that your work is completely unqualified! The true guardian should be able to prevent it before the crisis occurs!"
"Beware of it before it happens?" Wende, who really didn't have too intuitive impressions, humbly asked, "Does it be like Andalil, who try to build the area I am responsible for into the 'country' I use? In this way, I will be able to know what kind of disturbances there are... So, it will be difficult for such an invasion to happen again."
"If you can do this, of course it would be great." Wei Ye laughed at the side, "But, as far as I know, no summoner can really do this and can control a large area alone."
"Have you never?" Wende, who seemed to be a newborn calf, was a little surprised and asked in confusion: "But I think it shouldn't be very difficult..."
"There is a saying that it is easy to know and do it difficult... Some things are easy to think about, but it is difficult to do it." Wei Ye patted Wende's shoulder and explained further: "Well, let's give an example, let's take Andalil's 'empire' to illustrate her situation. You are quite clear about her territory. Her territory has completely included a county and district, and even extended its tentacles into other urban areas. To do this, it is already quite rare in the inner world! Do you know why?"
"Yeah?" Wende asked humbly, so Wei Ye smiled and pointed out, "In the inner world, how do the other demons view Andalil and her empire?"
Wender thought carefully and really remembered something, "Well, Juhong Soda seems to have mentioned. Andalil and his strength are almost completely known to the powerful demons in the city. Moreover, most demons are very wary of her."
"That's right, that's it. When a demonic force begins to expand, other surrounding forces will cause a rebound, and the confrontation will become increasingly whiten. At the critical moment of life and death... Even the demon clan with old grudges will work together to fight the biggest threat in the form of alliances - Wang Liang's time is a good example... it's just not successful."
Wei Ye continued: "You look at Andalil's power seems to be very powerful. But you should also think about it. Not only are there high-level demons like Andalil, but there are also some other real names under his command. Not to mention ordinary, elite demons, I'm afraid there are countless mutated categories! What an exaggerated force at that time, it is rare in the entire world! But it took them so much time to expand to reach the current level... You can pay attention to the difficulties in it!"
Ling Fei also said on the side: "What's more, the number of demons that our summoner can indicate is far less than that of the real demons."
Wender was a little surprised, "There is still a limit on the number of demons?"
"Well. Few summoners notice this, but it does exist." Ling Fei nodded, "In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly - think about it carefully, our spiritual world has boundaries - even if you use it to build the demon's nest, how many can it be built? Twenty, thirty or fifty? Even if it is fifty, there are only hundreds of demons you can command at a time!"
Ling Fei followed and said, "This is the result of Ling Fei's simple estimate. In fact, the number is far from that many, and each nest level cannot be infinitely improved - oh, I guess you don't know this yet? After the demon nest reaches level 5, if you want to improve, you will need some special things... They cannot be said to be very rare, but they are not easily obtained by anyone. Therefore, even a few hundred will be discounted."
"So that's how it is." Wende probably understood, but there were some small questions in his heart: "However, besides the demon's nest, can the summoner get the demon's devil's lair? Is this not subject to the number of demon's lairs?"
"In fact, restrictions still exist, this point has existed a long time ago. Whether you get through bribery, captive, exchange or other ways of getting demons without the support of the demons, their total sum cannot exceed the total amount of magic required by your demon nest - it is double, right, Old Wei?" After verifying with Wei Ye, Ling Fei continued: "Once you exceed this number, your connection with them will become weak, and the possibility of escaping is not ruled out. If you enter the spiritual world, your magic will be consumed sharply..."
Wei Ye finally concluded, "Anyway, it is almost impossible to rely solely on the number of demons to expand its power."
"There are these things," Wender guessed, "Then it is difficult for the summoners who just build demon lairs to compare with skill sects like you?"
"You can't say that. Summoners like us and those who can do the main purpose are highly targeted, but the main attack skills are limited and they cannot fully exert their full strength, so the situation will be difficult to recover. It is far less stable than summoners who use demons as the main attack power... In general, each has its pros and cons. Like you, brother, if you have that saint, you will be more powerful in your route of demons."
Wende nodded and heard Ling Fei further reminder: "The organization will divide the summoner into two levels: individual and spiritual world for the summoner. Although there is a factor in confirming strength and weakness, it is also because the spiritual world level involves another secret: when your spiritual world level exceeds thirty, the spiritual world will be promoted once, not only will the territory become wider, but the demon nest that can be built will also expand from a simple low level to an intermediate level. The Yellow Turban Strongman of Old Wei was obtained from this."
"Hey, is it good to sell my secret?" Wei Ye protested unhappily, but Ling Fei ignored it and smiled at Wende: "Although the mid-level demon nests require some special things to be built, their strength is enough to stand alone for you."
At this time, the topic seemed to be gone, so Wei Ye brought it back, "Let's get back to the point. Let's talk about things that are not going to happen. For example, the most common way now is to win over the demons you have, to deal with those unconvincing demons, and then integrate them into an alliance as much as possible. Although the contradiction between demons and demons is very common, their attitude towards summoners - especially when facing a summoner they cannot deal with - is generally very "kind". After all, our existence can provide them with many benefits, so this gives us room for mediation, and we act as a hub to connect them all. In this way, although we cannot achieve unity and control an area, we can quickly understand what happens in the area - especially when the foreign tribes and demons with bad intentions, the effect will be even more...
Through conversations with Wei Ye and Ling Fei, Wende learned that in addition to often supporting other areas and solving some demons that other summoners cannot solve, they also assumed the responsibility of guardians and protected the safety of an area. And there, as Wei Ye boasted, the devil invasion almost never happened again.
(That should be the direction I work hard!) Wende made up this determination secretly.
Ling Fei said his final suggestion at this time, "The empire left by Andalil is of course a considerable test for you, but it may not be a good opportunity that cannot be taken advantage of. As long as you can successfully dismantle its threat, I believe that by that time, this area will not dare to say that there is no demon that opposes you, but I believe it is about to disappear!"
