My summons are weird

When did you gradually realize that you could not become the kind of person you dreamed of as a child?

When did you start to forget the most ardent dream you once had, and choose a different way to live?

Clorence looked at the disjointed dolls hanging on the magic circle on the dome of the Great Library, his eyes drifted, and his wrinkled face twitched slightly, as if recalling something beautiful.

"In my time, magic was not as diverse as it is now, but magicians are already masters."

"That year when I was young, I took my mother's hand and went to the Chamber of Commerce Street to sell grain. There was a big bag full of grain..." Clorence gestured in a circle, and his dim eyes shone slightly. This lifeless old man actually had A little angry.

"My mother told me that if I can sell it for a good price, I can save a sum of money and pave the way for me to enter the city lord's guard... But she was disappointed. I watched the merchant's fat hands fumbling around in the bag , twirling the grains that we dare not eat, rubbing them with our fingertips, and then casually knocking them on the ground with disdain and giving them a distressingly low price. The mother asked why, and the businessman only gave one reason, 'goods not good'."

"Mother has no choice. The chamber of commerce behind the merchants has monopolized the price of grain in the city-state. If they don't sell them, they will only be slaughtered harder next time... I asked her why the group of slaves next to them wouldn't be lowered in price, and she said that was Servants of the magician's family, merchants will not do anything to those who have status."

For some reason, Lu Yu remembered the history he had read in books in the past. He didn't speak, and listened quietly with Sera.

"Since then, I have had a simple dream. When I become a powerful magician, I want to prevent the poor in my city-state from being oppressed arbitrarily."

Lu Yu didn't want to hit Clorence, but in reality, he obviously couldn't do it.

"As you think, I failed to do it...Being a magician is not enough. My strength is not enough to shock the surrounding city-states. I am not strong enough to make them listen to my ideas. After all, merchants can always run. They have not The country, as long as it is profitable, can flock to it. So from then on, I longed for a stronger force."

Sera sighed: "Becoming the top sixth-level magician, you haven't been able to do it, have you?"

Clorence smiled bitterly, but he no longer wanted to explain why he failed to realize his dream.

"How old were you that year?" Lu Yu asked.

"Thirty."

"With the magical environment at that time, you are a genius." Sera sighed.

"It's not as good as you guys, no matter the little one over there, Lu Yu beside you who can recover magic power quickly, or you, they are all better than me..."

Clarence continued to recall: "From that year on, I traveled around and wandered aimlessly in the huge world. I met many people and things, and spent a very happy period of time. I often talked to the people I met. When discussing life and death, when talking about death, people often laugh and say that as long as you are happy, you will not regret it, and the most important thing is to enjoy yourself in time."

"This freedom didn't last long. When I realized that my hands and feet became heavy, I was no longer young. My thoughts were chaotic and lifeless, and I was depressed all day long. Like every magician who is about to die, I was afraid. , so I established reincarnation... As you said, I am afraid of death, and the fear of death makes me sleepless. I once imagined entrusting all the insights gained from staying in the enchantment to someone, but when it came to I can't bear to..."

"Lu Yu." Clorence suddenly called out his name, "This is the decay of the soul..."

Clarence's strength was fading, Sera took up the conversation with a sigh.

"A person has the most possibilities at the moment he is born in the world, and he can have countless futures, but as time goes by, he will gradually lose those possibilities. The goodness is also annihilated with time."

"The magician gives so many meanings to the decay of the soul. It not only means death, but also because the magician fears it more than anyone else... They long for eternal life, but the body can be replaced by the way of making dolls. How can the decayed soul be repaired? "

"Pedestrians rescued the villagers who were injured by the traps, but were falsely accused by the other party that he had placed the traps. The villagers did not go to the real 'prisoners' but relied on good people."

"Good intentions, but not in exchange for goodwill."

"I learned that the child who just came to work in the mansion is about to be kicked out by the unscrupulous housekeeper. The experienced servant told the child to be careful about the housekeeper's work and make preparations early, but the child reported it to the housekeeper and left a bad evaluation."

"Kindness in exchange for ruthless betrayal."

"As a member of the knights, I dedicated myself to defending the city-state, but I was scolded and scolded because I failed to recognize that one of them was the son of the noble lord who was directly subordinate to the nobleman when trying to stop the street fight."

"Professionalism, sticking to principles is considered to be causing trouble for everyone."

"The more you see, the colder your heart becomes. One thing that comes into your eyes is just a cycle that has happened before and now is happening again. Beautiful things are always being shattered, but they are not cherished. Everything is imprinted on In your head, your soul is decaying, becoming numb, becoming indifferent."

Crowrance lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "A young magician once told me that he envied me very much, because as a sixth-level magician, I have an extremely strong heart, and I will not be afraid of anything. Shaken...Actually, I'm just numb. The strength in their eyes is nothing more than a protective mechanism produced by the accumulation of countless pains, and it's a sign that the soul has decayed to the extreme and has become lifeless."

Lu Yu asked: "If this is the case, how did the longevity species escape the decay? They have more time to see more things, and the decay should be serious."

Sera asked back: "What has Hogu been doing all these years?"

"Sleep." Lu Yu replied immediately, and then realized, "Is this also to avoid decay..."

"Yes, the Mist Demon is one of his plans to escape decay. In the endless dreamland, there is no boundary between reality and illusion, and the decay of the body and soul can be stabilized. This is his wisdom."

"Some longevity species rely on curiosity to resist decay, others rely on firm will to maintain their hearts, and some..."

Clorence coughed violently, cutting Serra off.

Another ray of soul fragments left Clorence's body, turning into countless particles of light.

"I'm running out of time."

Clorence coughed up blood, and he said weakly, "You are here for Vanessa and Sayer, right... are they friends?"

"No... In fact, Sayer and Vanessa have disappeared for more than five hundred years. To be precise, we are the ones who received his favor indirectly." Lu Yu quickly replied.

"A favor..." Clorence smiled hoarsely, "It really looks like the two of them, but he didn't give me this favor."

"You seem to have left reincarnation and went to the outside world to meet them."

"Yes, that was the early stage of reincarnation when the soul was split. They just got together, and the fragments representing all the good memories of my youth left the moon-cut barrier and met them in a fishing village."

"Vanessa was fishing, but she only caught a sea monster all afternoon. The sea monster pulled her fishing rod tirelessly, hoping to be pulled up by her, and then pestered Vanessa for dried fruits like a child. Eat. Sayer is practicing magic on the side, completely ignoring Vanessa who needs to fish quietly... It's hard for you to imagine that such two people are actually a couple."

"Feeling their strength, I stepped forward and wanted to learn from each other, but Sayer refused. He told me to go home quickly..."

Sera thought about it: "I can tell at a glance that you are a puppet, and are you still a fragment of consciousness?"

"Yes, but I didn't realize this at the time. My incomplete heirs had the drive in their youth and were eager to learn from them, so they agreed to enter the Moon Engraving Barrier unknowingly."

"At that time, the Lunar Enchantment had been operating stably for more than a hundred years, each fragment kept its own place, and everything was normal at the beginning of reincarnation, so their arrival did not cause any changes in Twilight City, but only left information about their visit, which also These are the two puppets you saw..."

"Sayer kept his promise and asked me to compete with Vanessa... none of my fragments or my doll could resist the giant butterfly she threw. In front of Vanessa, the puppet master, sitting on the moon I, who have been superior in enchantment magic power for more than a hundred years, are like a joke... I still don't know what level of magicians they are, and they can be so terrifying."

Lu Yu solved this doubt for him.

"According to the notes I found, during this period, Vanessa seems to be of the eighth order, and Sayer is of the ninth order."

Clorence's body trembled: "Ninth... ninth step."

That is a concept completely unimaginable for people in the era of the sixth highest position.

Sera said: "When you enter the moon-cut enchantment, the outside world begins to advance in magic power, and when you see them, it happens to be the end of the step-up. You in the moon-cut enchantment enjoy a better experience than the outside world." The environment, better understanding, and the ability to conceive magic that is impossible for the outside world are all your advantages, but they are geniuses that have transcended an era. Until today, as far as we know, no new magic has appeared on any continent. In front of Sayel Lucamia, none of us can be called geniuses, but you were lucky enough to meet the two strongest men of that era, I am very envious."

In fact, there is one thing that Serra didn't say, the magic used by Clorence is exploding, the conception, use, and perception are beyond imagination, maybe it is the power of the ninth level, that is to say, if he can have a young, fit With a tall body, he will be the strongest in this era.

"Did they leave nothing behind?" Lu Yu was curious about the follow-up of the exchange.

"Sayer praised "exquisite workmanship, beyond the times" after watching Twilight City, and Vanessa left some words when she left."

"What words?"

"One day, reincarnation will make me long for death." Clorence laughed loudly, "I didn't understand at all at the time, but now I understand... Maybe this is the gap between me and her, we are both human Puppet master, why can she see things that I can't see, is this a talent gap?"

Knowing the cruel reality at the end of his life, Clorence burst into tears.

It's not easy for Lu Yu to tell Clarence that Vanessa is not a puppeteer in the true sense, and making dolls is just a matter of convenience, but just such casual dolls are scary.

The magic-breaking crystal giant can counter magicians, and can also use magic power to destroy warriors. The two powers are interchangeable.

Butterfly, the super powerful magic light beam is estimated to leave countless scars on the earth in its heyday.

And these two dolls were just left at home by Vanessa to watch the house.

It's really hard for Lu Yu to imagine what happened to the pair of Vanessa and Sayer five hundred years ago to make them disappear together, and it is very likely that they will perish together.

"Maybe I can ask Segro after the matter is over?" Lu Yu thought to himself.

The soul fragments of the Dragon Man and the Demon Breaker Knight were separated, Clorence was visibly sluggish, and his limbs could no longer be controlled.

He looked at Sera and said weakly: "Twilight City belongs to you, and the skills you have mastered are in the diary..."

"Book of Twilight!" Clarence shouted out his greatest masterpiece as a puppeteer with all his might.

The Book of Twilight flashed in the formation.

"All the puppet atlases are in it, and the traps of Twilight City are extremely detailed... Now, I have unlocked the connection between him and me..."

"I know that I am stained with sin, and I also know that repentance is not enough to redeem a decayed soul...but I can at least make up for one or two. In the underground chamber of Twilight City, there are treasures that I have hoarded over the years. Years have passed, maybe many It’s worth nothing, but there’s always something worth selling…”

"Sierra...Lu Yu...help me build a courtyard for orphans and widows in Kelai, don't leave my name...Choose a nice and hopeful name, let the children remember their original dreams, so that the elderly don't have to be in Meet your own death in the cold wind, and leave this world with dignity... Don't forget the most beautiful things step by step in the decay..."

Clorence looked directly at Lu Yu, his dim eyes lit up with light, and he warned with hope but with great pain.

"Third level, just started, how great... You still have a long time to go, and you have good partners by your side..."

"Lu Yu, don't become someone like me... Never..."

Clorence stood up with difficulty, refused Lu Yu and Sera's support, and staggered step by step to the desk in the middle of the big library.

He looked around at the collection of books, memories flashed through his mind.

"It's time to welcome the night."

Whispering in a low voice, resisting decay in reincarnation, perhaps the only surviving ninth-level puppeteer in this world has reached the end of his life.

The long evening dipped beneath the surface of the sea, the long night invaded his thoughts.

Embracing the best childhood dream, as a human being, Clorence ushered in his own death.
