My summons are weird

Since there was no equivalent that could replace the local currency at all, Lu Yu borrowed some silver coins from Herola. For this request, Herola, who was playing with her silver-gray hair, hesitated for a second or two, then readily agreed and guided him to enter. A trading district in the city-state.

Regarding Herola's behavior, everyone in the team called it stupid. From their point of view, this weird guy who called himself Bass was just being stubborn. After they were angry, they were too lazy to pursue the so-called compensation. Those people don't seem to be able to repay at all, and they are not vicious people. They can't do the kind of behavior of blocking people and beating them. They just feel that they are unlucky and suffer.

However, Herola's act of borrowing money gave this matter a wonderful follow-up.

In the hunting team circle, Herola is nicknamed a piggy bank. All the hunting income is accumulated. Except for the necessary equipment maintenance, the rest of the income is hidden. No one knows how much money she has saved and where it is stored. Where, ultimately, where do you intend to spend the money.

This money-loving black elf's piggy bank actually borrowed money for the first time... What kind of magical power could the other party make Miss Miser change?

Herrala, who was ridiculed for a while, took a sip of the refreshing fruit wine disapprovingly, and pressed the tip of her tongue against the liquid still in her mouth, savoring the enjoyment she bought to the greatest extent.

Anyone who knows Herola knows these habits of hers. In addition, she will save the most delicious food for the last delicious slice to enjoy; Busy theory, just to drink more.

It's hard to imagine a dark elf who can brush his face to eat and live such a daily life.

After enjoying the last sip, Meimei watched the other hunters add money to refill the cup. She pouted, wiped her own bow, and then said casually: "It's just a few silver coins, and it's not a big loss. Just give it a try." .”

What she didn't say was that when the perch spoke, she had already put the words of refusal to her mouth, but she chose to borrow by mistake.

Afterwards, even she herself was puzzled by her sudden change of words, as if there was a strange voice guiding her to make changes.

Although distressed, the words had already been spoken, and she, Herola, was not a person who broke her promises, so she could only hand over the silver coins with blood dripping from her heart.

Keno and the others, who were discussing how to deal with the lack of funds after the hunting failed, did not hear Herra's muttering. In this team, Herra was always relatively free, more like a mercenary on call, She herself prefers this identity, unrestrained and very free.

From noon to night, the people who refilled their glasses in the tavern to relieve their sorrows had already agreed on the next step of hunting and raising money, and decided to leave after a short rest. Seeing that Herola was still staring straight at the trap door of the tavern, Waiting for the "fish" moving on land, the people in the team made fun of her again.

"Admit it, compared to our rhinoceros head turned into ashes, we can't carry out body transformation, it's just a few silver coins."

"You didn't even follow him, see what he's going to do, tsk tsk, when did you become so naive, if you want me to say, he might have slipped away long ago."

Herola bit her lip, thinking about her few silver coins, wanting to cry.

"Next time, no matter who it is, never borrow money!"

The gloomy Herola yelled the name of the bartender, intending to refill another glass on her own.

The movable wooden door swayed, and the visitor seemed to have no footsteps on the ground, and floated in front of Herola without making any sound of footsteps. Herorea, who was still paying attention to the wine, blinked, and there were more than ten bottles filled with colorful dust and liquid. bottle.

Lu Yu said, "I have inquired about the value of your prey, and selling it should be able to make up for your loss."

Ken Nuo and others gathered around, staring thoughtfully at these potions with unknown effects.

The people who had already given up hope were somewhat surprised to see Lu Yu go and return, and what was even more unexpected was the news brought back by the person who brought the medicine to the trading market.

"They asked if we had similar high-level potions, and they were willing to pay a high price to buy them!"

Everyone who realized the value of the potion was stunned.

"I suggest you sell them in batches to give yourself some leeway." Lu Yu gave a kind reminder.

Keno and Celissa, the two adventurers who talked about Lu Yu, apologized immediately without hesitation.

"Sorry for offending you earlier."

Maybe it's the travel experience, maybe it's the experience of Lulu's parents, or maybe it's the friend Royer who is drifting away. Lu Yu is quite tolerant of these blood-licking groups, and can understand their emotional breakdown. In the case of hunting a large monster with a well-arranged layout but all the spoils are destroyed, the mood is no less than that of a hard-working dungeon, and when the point drops, a wicked and smoking guy directly throws all the things away.

The field has an advantage in numbers and has no evil thoughts towards him who is alone. Although the anger is surging, he still restrains himself, which is one of the reasons for Lu Yu's compensation-they are much more reasonable than the nobles hunting in the wild.

The wine continued again, and everyone who had disposable income again was in a good mood. They toasted to Lu Yu one after another, maybe because they felt guilty for offending, or maybe they wanted to get closer to someone who could refine high-level potions Everyone talks a lot about the relationship between potion masters.

From them, Lu Yu learned another reason why Keno and Celissa's mentality exploded.

"Reform the body to participate in the trial of the Doll City?"

"Your Excellency Bass is a traveler from another country. I'm afraid you don't know much about this grand event." Keno drank several large glasses of honey wine as an apology and explained somewhat confusedly, "The trial of the city of dolls began in March Ten years ago, it was held every five years. It was opened by the supreme puppet masters of Sercaro. It is a competition for all regions and all races. Both reformers and natives can participate. After many selections, they will finally advance Those who enter will be able to enter the puppet capital [Liuguang].”

"There, those who advance will be received by the supreme puppet masters, and will receive blessings and rewards. The reformers will even be received by the supreme puppet masters, and they can choose to join the Ser Carlo Puppet Masters Association and have a promotion channel for secret meetings, or become the ruler of the association."

Sai Lisa continued: "But there is no reformer who does not yearn to be personally adjusted by the supreme puppet masters to obtain great power beyond ordinary people. Flocking to it, even the natives, people who entered Liuguang City in the past, no one said 'no' to the transformation, which is enough to prove how attractive it is."

"Now it's very close to the opening of the regional trials. Although we have little hope, considering that as long as we participate, we will have a chance to get the favor of some puppeteers, so we have been working hard to obtain further transformation... really I'm sorry."

Lu Yu looked at He Luola, who was in a silly mood and started thinking about how much money he could exchange after getting the potion.

"What about you, are you participating?"

Herola nodded: "I have plans to participate. After all, even if I can't enter the Doll City, I can get a small income through the regional trials, and I can make a name for myself so that I can find a commission. Why not do it... ...But the transformation is still free, I like to be a native."

"However, you said before that you want me to be your guide... Well, if you can pay me a little, I'd like to follow you."

"It can be seen that you like money very much." Lu Yu said.

"As long as you can give me the price, I can do anything for you."

Under Sierra's instigation, Lu Yu adjusted his tone and asked with a little surprise: "Oh, if what I want is you, are you willing to put a price on yourself?"

Herola was stunned. Fortunately, everyone else was drinking together and did not hear the conversation between the two.

"There are still some things that cannot be priced, this exception." Herola waved her hands in embarrassment, and her face was a little red.

After the joke time was over, Lu Yu decided to ask Ser Carlo an important question in front of him.

"I heard the story of the 'healer' from people along the way. It is said that the healer left a treasure in Sercaro, which was treasured by the later puppet masters. Now I want to know ...is there any way to see it, I was told there was no way before, and I want to hear from you."

Lu Yu handed over a few of the exchanged silver coins, but Herola shook the potion in her hand in a principled way: "That's enough, although I like money and I'm called a piggy bank, I'm not a black-hearted elf. "

A dark elf with gray-brown skin said that he was not a black-hearted elf, and always thought it was a cold joke...

Herola replied: "If it really exists, according to the rumors that have been circulating for hundreds of years, and no detailed details have ever flowed out, I am willing to believe that it is only in the hands of the Supreme Puppeteer. There are sixteen puppeteers in total, and the most likely place to exist is naturally the puppet capital [Liuguang]."

"But I advise you to stop thinking about it, it's impossible." Herola waved her hand and emphasized again, "There is no way for you to enter the streamer."

"Why?"

"Forty years ago, the supreme puppet masters independently created the current Liuguang City outside the capital of Celcarlo. Only the supreme puppet masters can enter this area called the capital of puppetry. It is not open to outsiders, even people from the Puppet Master's Secret Meeting and Association cannot enter, and the door was opened only after the trial began thirty years ago."

"The promotions are very strict with their mouths. They have never said anything about the Doll City, only that it is an incredible place, and they have all become the most devout and fanatical followers of the Doll Association without exception. Those who are still contributing to the expansion of the power of Ser Carlo puppeteers to this day."

Lu Yu was puzzled and asked: "Don't the supreme puppet masters never leave the so-called puppet capital?"

At this time, he had a little idea of ​​"encountering by chance".

As a well-known mercenary, Herola showed a qualified level of information and gossip reserves, and she answered Lu Yu's questions one by one.

She took a bite of the grilled sand crab, tied up her long hair with a bamboo stick, and continued to eat proudly.

She said: "As you said, the first trial held thirty years ago was the last time the Supreme Puppeteer changed. Since then, they have never appeared in the eyes of everyone in Sel Carlo, even Those who are associations and secret meetings seem to be unable to meet them directly, but communicate with them regularly through reports to obtain their instructions."

"What is certain is that the Supremes are all alive. After all, the excellent results of their transformation are the winners of trials again and again, and these people who have been transformed by the Supremes are obviously stronger than those of the same rank."

After dozens of years, the City of Dolls has become a sacred place in Sercaro and even the surrounding areas. The vigorous promotion of dollification has made the influence here unprecedented, because the capital of Dolls is covered in fog, and everyone knows nothing about it I know, so according to the folk rumors, there seems to be a place where saints and even gods are favored.

Once a high-level flying dragon broke into the area of ​​the Doll City, and shortly after being swallowed by the mist, it became a doll in the Doll City, and it is still active around it. Magicians generally speculate that the Supreme Doll The general rank of the division should be crushing the surrounding areas.

Although according to Lu Yu's observation, the fifth and sixth ranks dominate here, but considering that he has always had a subtle sense of uneasiness after entering Ser Carlo...

He was sure that he was not suspicious, since Lu Yu had been extremely sensitive to this sudden sense of unease since he fought against Calden and Sarah.

In the end, Lu Yu chose to trust his intuition and be more cautious, not to forcibly break into the Doll City just to save time.

Lu Yu asked: "Are there any mandatory rules for signing up for the trial?"

"There are no mandatory regulations... Are you planning to participate?" Herola asked in surprise, "But you are a potion master."

"You forgot, I'm still a summoner."

"So far, I haven't met a few powerful summoners. Even this one in our team is more powerful than summons with other spells, and those who specialize in summoning in other hunting groups are not much stronger... "Herola spread her hands," and to participate in the trial, you must be prepared to die and be disabled. This is not a game. Everyone who embarks on this road is eager to soar into the sky. In order to have enough money to transform themselves, During this period of time, not only the blood of monsters was shed in the wild, but scenes of fratricide were not uncommon.”

"It seems that although your companions are a little grumpy, at least they are indeed individuals." Lu Yu said.

"I'm a qualified mercenary, what kind of team should I choose to make money!" Herola proudly puffed up her breasts, which were more expected than Lulu, but far more regrettable than Sera.

"Sign up for me, I plan to go to the city of dolls to enjoy it with my own eyes."

He was very curious about what was hidden in this city-state that was regarded as a holy place by thousands of puppeteers.

Click.

Click.

The sound of the gear-rotating machine loudspeaker keeps reverberating in the quiet space.

In the depths of the bright palace, a pair of slightly squinted eyes quietly opened.

At this moment, the silent city-state revived like a beating heart.
