Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 360

Sometimes, Xia Houyan really doesn't understand, is Vilfre smart or stupid?

Let’s say she’s smart, this little girl worked as a maid for a short time after she first arrived in the territory, and Xia Houyan’s disasters at home are still vivid in my mind, such things as washing dishes with a toilet brush are really not done by a person with a normal mind from;

But call her stupid, Shuangfengling was able to find the treasure house of the elves on Dragon Bone Peak, thanks to this little girl, when I was writing a novel, I searched for information, and I just found the address of the treasure house from the pile of old papers!
In the end, Xia Houyan could only come to one conclusion:
You guys who write novels are all talented!

It was the same this time, Xia Houyan, who was about to lose confidence in John Samonen's summoning magic, was suddenly awakened by Vilf's words!
——Summoning some little devils from the Purgatory Realm, this thing seems to be really tricky!

The "little devil" that Welf refers to is of course not Tyrion Lannister.

The so-called "little devil" is a small creature unique to the purgatory world, and even in the plane of purgatory where monsters and ghosts are colorful, little devils can be regarded as the most paradoxical aliens among them——

Because, the little devil is a monster without fighting ability!

"A creature that lives in the purgatory world but cannot fight and fight" sounds like a fairy tale, but the peace-loving little devil is indeed the most important part of the terrifying ecological environment in the purgatory world :
Any ecosystem needs the lowest level of energy collectors, even for purgatory beasts that are busy fighting and devouring every day;
And most of the energy supply of the entire purgatory world is completed by little demons.

This kind of purgatory creature, which is similar in size to a domestic dog, has an evil and ugly appearance, has almost no fighting ability, but is born with a strong resonance for magic energy.In every second of their existence, little devils will constantly absorb and collect magic energy from the air, the ground, and the void, and store it in their bodies.

Because of the magic affinity of the little demons and their fecundity comparable to mice, they have almost become the best... food in the biological world of all planes.

The high-level ferocious beasts in the purgatory world will not only hunt and devour little demons to obtain mana supply, but even some highly intelligent purgatory beasts will also open up special areas to raise groups of little demons for their own food.

Therefore, the survival of the fittest and natural selection for thousands of years have almost wiped out all the small species that are not as powerful as humans in the purgatory world, and also made this death red hell a place for high-level monsters such as the red flame vulture, the purgatory flame dragon, and the disaster lord. In the arena of death, only the small demon family that is growing day by day is left:
There is no way, all the purgatory monsters are pointing at them and stuffing their teeth.

And this is where the beauty of Weierfu's suggestion lies:
The extremely deformed ecosystem of the purgatory world means that as long as the summoner sets the weight limit of the summoned target a little lower, the things summoned from the purgatory world will only be little demons, nothing else, and there will be no card draw at all. Crooked possibility!
——After all, apart from the little devils, the rest of the purgatory world are all fat and ferocious monsters!
The problem of the randomness of the summoning ceremony was thus satisfactorily resolved.

And is there any real benefit in summoning a few little demons to Haven Continent?
Xia Houyan tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly realized that doing this seemed a bit oily!

The little devil with a weak physique must not be able to help with work and engage in production work;

But their magic affinity physique, which is favored by purgatory beasts, can also come in handy for the people of Haven mainland!
In the modern Haven Continent, there are no more than two mainstream ways to obtain magic power: either relying on magicians to meditate with their eyes closed, or using complex magic circuit facilities to extract energy from underground magic veins—for example, the southern magicians. The reason why the spire has been able to operate for hundreds of years is due to the huge magical spiritual vein that travels through the ground.

But if there is a little devil, things will be completely different!

These red-skinned little ones are simply a kind of small biological power generator... er, a "magic" generator. Every little devil's belly hides the elemental magic power that they have worked so hard to accumulate throughout their lives!

If even the beasts in purgatory can regain their mana by eating little devils, then there's no reason why the Haiwen people can't do it!

Xia Houyan thought about it carefully. If it is possible to establish a stable summoning ceremony and get some little demons from the Purgatory Realm to make a source of magic power——magic power cannot be transported and sold, and it is not realistic how much empire gold coins can be earned, but At least the magic power in the territory no longer has to worry about the supply of magic power.

In fact, if you count it, in the long history of the empire, Shuangfengling is really not the first one who wants to cut leeks from the purgatory world.

More than 400 years ago, Rasputin, a well-known master of demonology in the mage school city, once mentioned in his manuscript "Essence of Demonology" that he had figured out a way to summon little demons from the purgatory world, so as to serve the students The magicians of the city provide a sustainable supply of mana.

Unfortunately, the summoning method invented by Master Rasputin was not handed down because "the place is too small to write down", and the master himself was burned to death by the Inquisition in the square of flowers in the imperial capital soon after.

In the following years, many mages (mostly pagans who believed in demons) tried to reproduce Master Rasputin's research and brought some little demons from the purgatory world.However, because the magic disturbance in the purgatory world is too strong, they simply cannot find the space-time beacon that can contact the purgatory world——

——Until Messi guided Shuangfengling and dug out a Purgatory Beacon from the ground of Luna Village.

As an inferior student in the High School of Magicians, the lord had almost forgotten about the "Rasputin and the Little Devil" mystery about the history of magic that Professor Hosseini told. Elf was clearly impressed by this.

Xia Houyan suddenly felt a palpitation of excitement:

If it is possible to rely on the Beacon of Purgatory and John Summerning's summoning skills to complete Master Rasputin's last will and summon some little demons for the magical world of Haven Continent as a supply of magic energy, then wouldn't Frost Maple Ridge be famous? Left in the history books?
——Of course, whether to leave a good name or a bad name, I'm afraid it can only be left to future generations to say.

Thinking of this, Xia Houyan couldn't sit still immediately, and ran to John Samonen's side, and briefly explained Weierfu's suggestion of "using the purgatory beacon to summon the little devil".

John Samonian was scared to death by Nima!

He had known that there were dragons and crouching tigers hidden in Shuangfengling, but he never expected that the co-author Lord still hid a strategic weapon that could destroy the world in his crotch!
Purgatory Beacon!As long as this thing shows up on the mainland, it will be enough to make the magic world of humans, demons, orcs suspend their disputes, join hands temporarily, and first find a way to dispose of this thing harmlessly, but you told me in Shuangfeng Ling, this purgatory beacon is locked in the warehouse of the territory together with a bunch of waste novels? !
Besides, did you come up with such a silly idea of ​​"summoning a little devil"? !
Don't you know how Master Rasputin died back then? !
And did you know that imposing restrictions on the weight range of summoned objects depends entirely on the magic power control technology of the summoning magician himself?Yes, there are only little devils in the world of purgatory, but you really trust me, John Samonen, in my ability?

If I make a mistake at that time, and accidentally set the weight range a little larger, and directly summon the first Purgatory Flame Dragon, Calamity Lord, or even the Heart of Destruction from the purgatory world, you are ready to bear the moral responsibility with iron shoulders, personally Are you responsible for the destruction of Haven Continent?
——In short, when John Samonen heard the plan of the lord, he immediately shook his head into an electric motor. His strong will to swear to the death was enough to make all the chaste women in history run to the street in shame.

"Let me tell you this..." John Samonen saw that the lord did not give up at all, and persuaded earnestly, "It is indeed possible to summon little devils and provide magic power. If my summoning skills are a little stronger So little, I am willing to help you try... But my magic specialty is the kingly journey of beast summoning, but summoning little devils belongs to the domain of demon summoning! I am afraid that something will go wrong when the time comes. , has become a sinner of civilization!"

"Ah? There is a difference between summoning beasts and summoning demons?" Xia Houyan was a little dumbfounded.

"Of course there is a difference!" John Samonen really doubted whether the lord had ever attended a class in the academy. "The chaotic elements in the demons living in the purgatory world will greatly interfere with the summoning process! Even if there are Beacon of Purgatory, summoning little demons from the Purgatory Realm also requires specialized research on demonology—but as you can see, demonology is now a taboo magic sect on the mainland, and no relevant information has survived for a long time. I really don’t know I don't even know..."

Xia Houyan blinked:
"Speaking of it... I remember that I still have a copy of "Demonology" beside my bed. It used to be in the collection of the Forbidden Library of the Academy... By the way, there is also a copy of "Illustrated Book of Ancient Rituals". John, are you interested in taking a look?" ?”

John Summeren felt more and more that he had made a wrong step and made a lifelong mistake.

……

After getting the two banned books from the Academy City, John Summerning left the Manhattan Laboratory muttering "go back and study it".

As for the success of the plan to summon the little devil, we will have to wait until John reads the two precious books that the lord lord returned from prostitution in the school city, and then we will see the situation—but with John Samonen’s talent, he can spend a lot of money. It should be no problem to lay a foundation for demonology research in a few days.

Full of expectations, Xia Houyan returned to Horned Eagle Manor humming a little song.

As a result, as soon as he entered the hall of the manor, he smelled a strange tension.

In the hall of the manor, which was usually empty and only cleaned by one or two maids, there are now many people standing in shadows.

Xia Houyan just took a quick glance and saw Sean Mountbatten, Alan Hotelling, Eldridge, Katerina, Mayor Joel, Master Laurie and many others.

If he hadn't had enough confidence in the loyalty of his subordinates, he would almost have thought that these sons of bitches were messing with Kudieta.

"What happened?" Xia Houyan frowned.

"Eliot, you are finally here..." Seeing the lord enter the door, Katerina seemed relieved, and ran over with her skirt in her hand, "Where did you go, we can't find you even if we send people out ..."

"I went to the Manhattan laboratory. Of course you can't find it. It's a secret place that doesn't allow idlers to enter." Xia Houyan patted Katerina on the shoulder, told her sister to relax, and then turned to her chief of staff, " Sean, what's going on?"

Sean Mountbatten nodded solemnly, then stretched out his hand, and gestured to the lord, an imperial officer in a white military uniform standing beside him:

"My lord. This is the messenger of His Excellency Grand Duke Grim Rosario. This morning, the messenger just rushed to the Phoenix Terrace from the north bank of the Lionheart River."

Looking at the rose emblem on the chest of the officer in white, Xia Houyan's heart shuddered.

"Something happened in the east?" he asked.

The white-clothed officer of the Eastern Army gave a simple salute to the lord, but then, his rapid speech still revealed the tension in his heart:
"Yes, Honorable Duke Elliot Igor. I am the liaison officer sent by Your Excellency to Trout Castle. I received a message from the winter embracing pigeon the morning before yesterday... The orcs of the Glorious Federation are now dead Started another round of massive offensive to the east of the empire. Your Excellency the Grand Duke specifically asked me in the letter to tell you the details of the war..."

Xia Houyan, Katerina, and Master Laurie looked at each other deeply.

"Mr. Messenger, go upstairs to the study with me." Xia Houyan looked straight into the eyes of the officer in white, and nodded solemnly, "Sean, Pavor, you two are coming too. Mr. Messenger, please don't worry ——I believe that the majestic 'Blood Flower' Grim Rosario will not be troubled by a few minutes of delay."

The Eastern Army officer wearing the white uniform of Rose City showed a helpless wry smile.
