Things changed three times a day outside the Dawn Leader. After Mi Lai replied that Tanya needed to consider trade routes, he sent a lot of information to the Dawn Leader one after another.
The Watchwood Elf Territory in the north of Solon began a vigorous civil war, and the great clan that had been gathered together due to the imbibing spirit fell apart.
Fortunately, the elves reached a consensus on keeping trade routes open, and the caravans of Sligo and Solon could still enter and exit. This also allowed Millais to learn the cause of the war.
Several major races that advocated prohibiting the sale of elf slaves to surrounding races accidentally learned a surprising piece of information. Some of the races that supported trade discovered new magic under the tide of magic and awakened special talents.
The flames of war spread throughout the Watchwood Elf territory, and the high-level elves no longer used the subordinate races as the vanguard, but went into battle themselves.
The extent of the tragedy can be seen just by looking at the number of slaves flowing out. Nowadays, ships full of forest elves and slaves of affiliated races dock in Sligo and Solon every few days.
Ironically, although the party opposing the foreign trade of elven slaves shouted loudly, their method of dealing with the hardline prisoners produced during the war was to sell them to various places in Mera to earn supplies.
Sigrid was very surprised when she sorted out the information. Just because of this, she launched a full-scale racial civil war?
The spring rain continued. Lu Yu stood on the balcony and watched the raindrops falling. He felt a chill and quickly tightened his clothes: "Such things will only become more and more frequent. What is supposed to come will definitely come. This is an objective law.
It will be transferred according to human will."
"Master, I didn't understand this sentence." Bo Mu, who was taking notes for Lu Yu, asked.
"For the Elf Leaders of the Lookout Forest, the seeds of contradiction have long been sown. The turmoil brought about by the magic wave makes everyone full of a sense of crisis. When you know that others have embraced new knowledge, but you have no regard for that new knowledge.
Without knowledge, fear will spread. Do you choose to sit back and wait for death, or take the initiative?"
"The magic wave brings changes, and changes will bring about changes in order. It is only a matter of time before order turns into disorder. No one can stop it from happening, just like the arrival of the magic wave will not disappear because of our resistance.
It's there, it's either adapt or be selected out."
The little mud in the room trembled. She put her big tail across her chest and hugged her tightly: "I thought I would be more stable this time."
"Is it because the impregnated spirits have united all the races in Mela? It seems that the glorious era has returned to this continent again?"
Little Niba nodded.
"Indeed, the common enemy has brought about a slight change, but this rationality will not last long. Now it is only the second stage of the magic tide, and it has not yet entered the most violent and rapidly changing climax. When every race faces the
With the impact of coming order, regime changes have become more frequent. How long can this warmth last?"
The rest of Milai's information confirmed Lu Yu's concerns.
Putting aside the Solon father and son who are still fighting to the death, as well as the Black Owl's march to the north, and the ongoing Solonian orthodoxy showdown, Codezoun and Sligo are actually not at peace either.
There were already signs of rebellion on the border of Codezon. Although the Shadow Guard extinguished the flames in time, the local human residents who were brutally exploited have sided with the aliens and are extremely hostile to Codezon. This has made many knowledgeable people
The people are very worried, because the vast territory of Codezoun is bordered by foreign races, and the security of border towns is a top priority, and there are many hidden dangers in being unpopular.
In response, Ravenis only strengthened military deployment and said nothing about taxes, which the local people were most concerned about. This caused some people to flee directly to the Theocracy.
After taking over power, Noel abolished many harsh laws, encouraged trade, reduced and reduced miscellaneous taxes, and held many auctions of the novel gadgets he designed, which made Sligo make a lot of money.
In the direct radiation area, it seems that you can live and work in peace and contentment.
However, the hostility lurking in the dark has never subsided. The core area of Sligo he controls is still stable, but there are always different voices in the city-states far outside the area of power radiation, and there are many high-level magicians and schools among them.
Even the Kraken groups adjacent to the Dawn Territory seemed to be at odds with each other. Ships in Demorris Port witnessed the Kraken confrontation many times, and even once landed on the shore near the Dawn Territory to start a fight.
From south to north, from west to east, in the huge Mela, less than three months after the peace celebrations, sparks hidden under the hay are flickering, and the air is already filled with the smell of gunpowder.
The magic tide is like an accelerant. Every race and everyone is restless. The strange demons mentioned by Tanya, no matter whether they exist or where they exist, are just an insignificant part of this great turmoil that is about to begin.
A member.
Lu Yu sighed sadly: "The door led by Chen Xi looks like it's not strong enough."
After sifting through the information, Lu Yu stretched out. He had made considerable progress in experimenting with rich carbonated flavors and couldn't wait to return to his room.
Han Lu, who summoned the team, did not knock on the door, but pushed the door hard and entered. Her little face was red with excitement, and she didn't care that her hair was sticking to her cheeks.
"Sir, it's successful!"
Lu Yu was stunned for a while and stood up.
"We have found the key to the sphenoid bone summoning template!" Hanlu announced proudly.
The summoning team arranged a special site in the dense forest based on the details that Sphenoid could recall to restore the environment of Sphenoid's summons to the greatest extent.
After several days of trying, the summoning team tried all the "card" factors that could affect the "card slot" of the summoning template, but still received no response.
No matter how much Sphenoid recalled, he could not add more details. Lu Yu, who was busy writing a guide to summoning, decided to investigate factors that were easily overlooked.
"Maybe it's the trees that were involved in the summoning ritual, maybe it's the essence of some element that was stripped away because of the magic power, maybe it's the insects that were affected?"
The summoning team was very puzzled, because Sphenoid Gu kept saying that she was summoning a beast covered in green plants. As a high-level magician, she had no reason to misjudge the type of summoned object that was close at hand.
But out of respect for Lu Yu, they did not raise any questions, but carried out patiently.
Finally, when the essence of sawdust and grass elements were traced, the summoning ritual underwent a wonderful change. The summoning template provided by the sphenoid bone shone brightly, and the summoning object that descended from it was a creature that was exactly the same color as the dead wood, completely mimicking it.
of mantid.
The motionless mantid was integrated with the dead wood, and its magical aura was undetectable. If he hadn't known it was here in advance, Lu Yu wouldn't even be able to distinguish it.
"Before you came, everyone in the group thought that the name of the mimic monster was very suitable for this series." Hanlu was still excited and couldn't help but express his suggestion.
Sphenoid on crutches also endorses the designation.
Lu Yu circled around the mantid disguised as a dead tree twice, reached out and touched its low-hanging scythes, rubbed his fingertips, and smiled.
"Mimic monster...you have been deceived."
Several people in the summoning group looked at each other.
"Do you think this summon is a mantid that disguises itself as a dead tree to hunt?"
"Isn't it?" Bo Mu asked uncertainly without turning her head.
After a moment, he quickly stepped forward, held down a section of the dead wood, and pulled it hard to the ground.
"Let it relax."
Sphenoid, who summoned the mantid, quickly gave the order. In a moment, the resistance felt on his hands plummeted, and the roots buried deep in the earth to absorb magic were revealed in front of everyone.
The lush and thick root system is about as thick as a human arm and two fingers thick, and they are squirming like tentacles. When they can't find a support point in the air, they involuntarily wrap around the nearest trees and beards.
Mu Mu reacted: "It's not a mimic monster, it's a mimic plant!"
"Now do you understand why the key to triggering the summons is the essence of plant and grass elements?" Lu Yu said, "This can also explain why we controlled various variables and tried hard to dig for materials related to monsters, but found nothing, because
What the sphenoid bone summoned that night was not a monster at all, but a plant disguised as a monster."
Purple Star, who came to watch, was eager to give it a try, jumping left and right: "How is the combat ability of the new summons? I haven't had a good fight recently. How about a fight with me?"
Sphenoid's eyes wandered. She was just an outsider here. She still had the self-awareness of being a guest, so she could only smile awkwardly.
"It's okay, sphenoid bone. Since Zi Xing wants to fight, you can try it."
Lu Yu spoke, Sphenoid took a deep breath, said please be careful, and then took the initiative to let the mantid attack the Purple Star.
I saw the "Mantid" moving with its roots as legs. The speed could not be said to be fast, but the movements were very twisted, somewhere between a rampaging crab and a deformed spider with broken legs.
The moment he approached the Purple Star, the sharp twin scythes were raised high, and he slashed twice with lightning and flint.
The Demon Warrior's Purple Star reacted quickly and ducked sideways as soon as the attack was launched, but the sickle still made a slit in her clothes.
Without using any magic power, Purple Star's strong calves tensed up instantly. His left foot touched the ground and spun. His slender and straight right foot was like a steel knife, accurately hitting the mantid's abdomen at the moment when its offensive weakened.
The roots rooted into the ground were broken by this kick, and the entire mimicry summoned object was halfway up in the air. The extremely explosive Purple Star had already jumped up, and kicked the mantid's twin scythes in the air with a flying kick.
After a dull sound, the mantid landed on the ground. Except for its roots, which could still sway weakly, the mantid that had emerged from the mimic had lost the ability to move.
Zi Xing said in astonishment: "This should be the summon of a sixth-level magician, but it looks so weak, so I just warmed up."
The reaction of the summoning team was consistent with that of Purple Star. In terms of combat performance, this mimic summon was simply vulnerable. Any summon from the elemental life series could beat it.
Looking at the disappointed expressions of the team members, Lu Yu turned his attention to Huo Mu and Hanlu, and found that they were thoughtful, pursed their lips, suppressed their smiles and the words they were about to say, and waited quietly.
Bo Mu raised her head, looked at Han Lu, and the two nodded.
"It's not that the summoned objects are too weak, it's just that the way we use them is wrong."
"Oh, what should I say?" The corners of Lu Yu's mouth raised crazily.
"The elemental life series are summons that are obviously used in frontal confrontation, but the mimic plants, as the name suggests, focus on camouflage, that is, concealment, so ambush and taking them by surprise are their greatest value."
"If our observations are correct, this mimic mantis can hardly sense the flow of magic power and blends in with the surrounding environment. This is a perfect trap summon."
Lu Yu patted Mu Mu on the shoulder happily: "Great."
The summoning team, who had been a little disappointed just now, all had their eyes brightened, and a large number of ways to use the mimic summons quickly appeared in their minds.
"Since there are mimic plants, there will also be mimic monsters. Maybe the difference between the summoning templates of the two will not be too big. This time, the known 'cards' are looking for the 'card slots.'" Lu Yu said, "But this is not urgent for the time being.
, aren’t you curious about what kind of blessings this series of mimic summons will bring?”
The highly motivated summoning team made various attempts within two days, developed a lot of new template summons, and became more and more familiar with the summoning ritual. Finally, Lu Yu was the first to feel the blessing from the summoning ritual.
force.
After completing the summoning of the mimetic summons, Lu Yu's magical aura disappeared, and the entire summoning team found nothing while playing hide and seek with him in the dense forest. In the end, Lulu, who was already at the seventh level, used her spiritual power to examine the dense forest before playing hide and seek.
The addicted Lu Yu was captured.
It was another blessing effect that directly affected the summoner himself, which made Lu Yu happy.
While the summoning team was still trying hard, their own masters enjoyed the blessing, which made them lament the huge gap between people. It seemed that no matter what template, Master Lu Yu could quickly get started.
Lu Yu handed the template of elemental life to Sphenoid Gu as promised. Looking at the scroll in his hand, Sphenoid Gu's body was trembling.
"Our deal has been completed. My suggestion is to recover from your injuries before leaving, and to stay anonymous and keep a low profile after leaving. Although I asked someone to help you expose those scum, you also know that they are a group of well-founded lunatics.
.”
"Now that the transaction is completed, I don't care what you do with the template, but I don't need to tell you that you should know that in today's world, holding knowledge in your hands without enough power to protect it will only lead to death, so hide and slowly
It may be a good choice to digest the knowledge and wait until the magic wave calms down before taking action."
Sphenoid swallowed and called to Lu Yu who turned around and was about to join the team members for training.
"I want to know what drove you to do this... I really want to know that you could have become the leader of the Summoning School... No, you should be the leader of the Summoning School! An outstanding person like you must be able to do something for
The summons brings more change.”
Lu Yu laughed heartily.
"Sphenoid, the so-called leader of a school of thought is actually accepting their rules and being defined by them."
"And I..." Lu Yu said firmly, "I have never agreed with them and the rules behind them, and I don't want to be defined by them."
