Chapter 442 441. Inheritance

During the second unloading break, Lu Yu told Huo Gu his guess.

Realizing that the fog monster was not around, Huo Gu unexpectedly admitted it frankly.

"I entrusted her to you, and I did have the idea of ​​driving her away, but it is also true that I hope she will grow up."

Lu Yu continued: "Is it because your family treats you like this?"

Huo Gu was silent. The man and the dragon looked at each other for a long time, until Huo Gu's back relaxed, and the people of Chenxi were happily packing the magic-breaking crystals and storing them in the warehouse. He looked at the lively crowd, lowered his head little by little, and his vertical pupils with a strong sense of oppression rippled with visible tenderness.

"Lu Yu, you should know that the society of the dragon race is completely different from that of most races. The true meaning of family, affection, and friendship can only be felt when you get along with life outside the dragon race."

"Speaking of affection, you may think of your family in your distant hometown. Lulu will never forget the two people who gave their all and burned themselves to let her fulfill her talent."

Huo Gu shook his body, and the mud attached to the dragon scales fell off. After the sand and stones fell, a stream of magic was controlled by him to wander on the scales around the dragon's spine, from the chest and abdomen to the hind limbs, and finally stopped near the tailbone.

"There used to be ugly scars here. As time went by, the scales were replaced again and again, and they have long been healed. But occasionally, my body still hurts. In the long dream, the burning pain still comes, like a tide, constantly beating my body."

Huo Gu paused and continued.

"My parents gave me a little warmth only when I had vague memories. When I began to distinguish the things around me, endless whipping followed. Knowledge and training never stopped. Bathing in their dragon flames and having my skin torn by their claws were common."

"I can't call them father or mother, but must call them by their names; I don't want to hurt the monsters that are afraid of me, but they require me to get a name from their mouths, a name born from their fear and dread, and this name will replace my original nickname."

"When I was exhausted and asked them for some warmth, I always got indifference, as if it was a shameful thing."

"I endured all this, and finally the day came when they drove me away. As you can see, they mercilessly left fatal scars on my body, and I had to walk away with my bloody body in fear. When crossing the sky, I roared angrily, but it was just a meaningless howl."

Maybe it was because of the long time, Huo Gu's tone was very calm, as if he was telling someone else's story, and he was just playing the role of a bystander day after day for thousands of years.

"I observe, I think, and I try to understand, but what I have gained cannot teach me to do something I can't do, because I have never experienced it."

"So, I chose to escape."

The proud dragon took the initiative to admit his weak side. At this moment, he felt relieved.

"But you care about the fog monster."

"It's useless to care. Just like the 'inertia' of the magician you observed, I am also infected with inertia. Things flowing in the blood and memory are stirring. It is difficult to learn to love. Even if you really like her, you can't always express it correctly. Instead, the desire to destroy and the cold words and deeds prevail. The memories of the past come back in the middle of the night, as if correcting my behavior and making me look like my parents... The cuter and more well-behaved the fog monster is, the more irritable I feel. Only sleep can relieve it."

"Is it the same now?"

Hogu shook his head: "I am different from them. I can restrain myself and I am learning. Dawn Territory is the best academy for me."

Before setting off again, Hogu whispered: "Don't tell the fog monster. Sooner or later, I will express my inner thoughts in the right way. This will be a surprise for her and me."

After Hogu left, the slow-moving Xiao An drifted to Lu Yu's side.

The fog demon that turned into a slime and jumped in the dark body was no different from a hyperactive patient. He asked while bouncing: "What did you say to him?"

Lu Yu heard that the fog demon seemed to have expectations in his words, and was about to leave with a tray, but when he thought of Huo Gu's appearance before leaving, he smiled and lied: "Discuss the diversified use of the magic-breaking crystal."

While speaking, he recalled the hand of Lulu tightly wrapped around his waist in her sleep in the Sligo Palace, as if she was using him as a big pillow to seek a sense of security, and Lulu, who was healed, smiled happily in her dream.

For Huo Gu, the fog demon might be the pillow and medicine he finally found.

Even if the scars on his body have long been healed, they are deeply buried in his memories and dreams. The scars that have never been healed since childhood are still bleeding. That is the wound that he cannot lick when he lives alone.

A few days passed, and just as Yucao was busy polishing and modifying the magic-breaking crystal, Lu Yu, who was participating in the "craftsmanship" of the whole Chenxi leader, suddenly felt a very familiar feeling in his heart.

After recalling it for a moment in suspicion, he suddenly realized that it was the impulse that attracted him to meet Orcus in Blue Water City!

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Yu quickly made a guess. He returned to the room, closed the door, and stepped into the magic circle that could lead to the Summoner's Temple.

Under her gaze, the magic circle shone brightly, and the dim light that filled the entire room enveloped her and Lu Yu together. Endless magic power filled their bodies, and the feeling of falling followed.

"Why are we falling again? Is the new version still such an uncomfortable way of transmission?"

Although Lu Yu didn't feel any pain when he fell face first on the ground, he still complained.

He couldn't wait to look around, intending to see what changes had occurred in the reopened summoning temple, but was shocked to find...

"Why is it still white all around, empty?"

Not only that, the ruins of the original summoning temple seemed to have been erased. Lu Yu walked around, and when he couldn't find the sign, he called out Seguro's name as usual, expecting this guy to suddenly appear from a certain direction and scare him.

A white light suddenly appeared in the distance. Lu Yu floated forward with the thought of "I've waited for you", but he saw Orcus, who was as "faced" as himself, and the dragon slayer with his arms crossed. The dragon slayer even curled his lips when Orcus stood up, and seemed to dislike his embarrassing summoner.

"Do you also have that impulse?" Orcus, who stood up, asked impatiently. After looking around, his reaction was exactly the same as Lu Yu's, "How come even the ruins are gone, and there is no change at all. The first time I entered the temple, it looked like this now."

After waiting for a while, the two people who didn't see Segro appear frowned, and they began to confirm whether the other facilities given to pioneers in the summoning temple were working normally.

Lu Yu summoned the projection of the summoned creature and called out the name of the summoned creature he was going to ask. Without any sign, a white light broke through the layers of clouds above the sky and hit him.

Segro walked out of the light curtain, looked at Lu Yu and Orcus, and greeted them with a smile.

As the mouthpiece of "Him", Seguro's appearance means everything will go smoothly.

Orcus went straight to the point: "What can I reveal? My shaped summons are completely unable to be summoned. The regular summoning channels fluctuate violently. Xiaomian learned summoning from me. Under my hand-in-hand teaching, her failure rate is as high as 60%. It has become a probability game for ordinary summoners to complete the summoning normally at this point in time. Does this mean that after the "living water" was injected into the summoning ceremony, there have been earth-shaking changes?"

Seguro could only smile politely but awkwardly after answering several questions in a row, and his eyes looking at the two people were very complicated.

"All changes related to summoning can only be explored, summarized, and condensed by you. I can't provide any reminders. As pioneers, you should open up a new path for future generations."

"After about ten days, the violent fluctuations of the summoning ceremony will return to stability, and then continue to rise and fall with the tide of magic. For this, the only thing I can tell you is... I envy you, really... I envy you."

"Summon this dry river, the water has begun to flow, and what you have is a more stable, more worthwhile to explore and master the new power."

After saying that, Segro stretched out his hand with a lonely face and touched the two of them abruptly.

"We will meet again in the end. Before that, pioneers... go, guide, explore, and fulfill the wishes of generations of summoners."

"Let the silent summoning return to the stage of the new era."

Lu Yu smelled something strange in the words. He reached forward and wanted to grab the arm of the smiling young man, but found that his body was turning into a light spot and dissipating rapidly.

Seguro raised his right hand, revealing his palm, and said "goodbye" silently to Lu Yu and Orcus.

"Wait, what is this?"

As two beams of light shone on Lu Yu and Orcus, their consciousness flew away, and the people who came and went in the Summoning Temple in the past began to emerge in their vision.

Summoners from different races and identities gathered here by chance, working hard for a common goal, and they all fell on the hopeless road in the end. It was not that they were stupid, but helpless. They hit the barriers of the times.

Time passed slowly, the temple had become a ruin, and it was lonely. The simple dreams they held also disappeared with the interruption of the summoning.

After a moment of confusion, in the empty Summoner's Temple, a sky full of light spots rose from the ground, and the brief condensation revealed their original appearance, corresponding to the past appearance witnessed in that brief moment.

Orkus, who already understood what was happening, choked up and said, "We should say goodbye properly..."

"There is no farewell in the world that can be properly prepared. You are still a little young." Segro's voice was fading away, "Goodbye, lucky man."

"Lu Yu, Orkus, this is the temple of the pioneers of the old times. Our mission is over."

Strange voices sounded in the void one after another.

"Like Segro, we are all jealous of you, but since Lu Yu can say "I am just more fortunate than you", it seems a bit too ungenerous for a senior to show jealousy. In short, please take this road for us."

The light particles gathered into a river and rushed to the sky, like a crowd holding torches and marching forward.

"Next, it is your story and your era."

Watching the past summoners return to the arms of "Him", Lu Yu bowed respectfully.

In the white Summoning Temple, Lu Yu and Orkus sat on the floor, silent for a long time, each thinking about something.

Lu Yu stood up first. He stared at the sky that was once again closed by layers of fog and bubbles wrapping the summoned objects, with firm eyes.

"We are the only ones left, Orcus."

"Yeah...this time, it's really just us."

It seemed that he had been sitting for a long time. Orkus staggered a little when he stood up. A pair of strong hands helped him in time and quickly pulled away.

Glancing at the dragon slayer, Orcus smiled and thanked him, and then joked: "It seems that I have entered old age. If this road takes a long, long time to bring 'him' Changes come out of nowhere..."

Orcus stared at Lu Yu: "Maybe you should be prepared to be the last one standing."

"Everything in the world is unpredictable. Exploring new knowledge is always full of dangers. Even if we are pioneers, we may not receive more preferential treatment."

"Don't think wildly. You are only in your early forties. Why do you always talk like you are going to the grave? Look at those old evil magicians who are still full of life and vigor. Look at yourself..."

"What you said makes sense. When I go home, the bread is still waiting for me. By the way, where are you going to start exploring?"

Lu Yu hesitated for a moment and replied: "Fusion summoning?"

"Fusion?"

"I've long had the idea of ​​​​making a gigantic thing out of the shaping summons. If 'He' really built multiple 'descriptions and depictions' to assist the basics of the summoning ritual, it would really be a big help!"

As he spoke, Lu Yu punched hard, and the heroic figure of the elemental fusion giant standing on the earth appeared in his mind!

"But you're only at level five... Do you need me to remind you that your magic power can't even summon four summons at once?"

"It's always right to imagine the future, right? Do you dare to say that you don't expect fun things like fusion summons to appear?" Lu Yu clicked his tongue, expressing dissatisfaction with Orcus's untimely reminder, and then waved goodbye.

After saying goodbye, the two of them turned around and left. Then they all froze on the spot, hesitated for a long time, and then raised their heads at the same time, looking at each other with embarrassment and confusion in their eyes.

"How can we get out if Segro is gone?"

"..."
