Chapter 39: The Shadow and the Scarlet Witch
There was a long silence in the council hall for a while, and after listening to the Chief Elder's account, the five rookie summoners were all caught in the scriptures.
Thinking that this world was about to be invaded by countless creatures from another world, and thinking about the mission he shouldered, Xing Tianyu felt a heavy feeling in his heart.
A question suddenly occurred to him, "If that's the case, then why do we keep calling?" ”
The speaker said, "Do you know how immunity comes about? He finished asking this question, but did not wait for the crowd to answer, but continued to explain, "When you come into contact with a certain virus, you will get sick, and if you can heal, your body will produce antibodies, and the next time you are invaded by the virus, you can better resist it, and smallpox prevention method is such a principle."
And what we are doing now is actually based on the same principle, we continue to summon otherworldly creatures to this world, sometimes leaving them alone, so that governments feel threatened, and exercise their ability to deal with this crisis, so that when the otherworldly creatures fully return, they will not be at a loss, otherwise if they suddenly face a large number of otherworldly creatures that have never been seen before, it is likely that governments will not be able to deal with it, and now after dealing with the crisis caused by various otherworldly creatures, They've all got a certain level of defense, so you now understand why we're asking you to summon constantly, right? ”
Xing Tianyu said in his heart that this is the case.
The Speaker continued, "Moreover, we must continue to summon all kinds of otherworldly creatures to obtain their information and information, as well as the information of various otherworlds, you know, the inheritance of the summoners three million years ago has long been severed, and our council was re-established five thousand years ago, and the information we have about the otherworlds is not complete, so we must let the summoners continue to summon, the Book of the Otherworlds in your hands is an out-and-out treasure, It will automatically gather information from your summoning process, and centralizing this information will help us find a plan against the invasion. ”
After listening to the speaker's explanation, the five of them now completely understood the meaning of their existence, indeed, although most of the summoners joined this line of work with selfish purposes, for perhaps profit, power, and various things, but there is no doubt that their actions have indeed benefited the entire human world.
In this way, Xing Tianyu's guilt for the chaos he caused in the past was instantly swept away.
It turns out that I am a great hero who wants to save mankind, and I will continue to risk my life for the future of mankind, not only will I not feel worried anymore, but I will have a sense of noble mission, and I must continue to die in the future.
Looking at the few people with different expressions, but all of them showed more or less shocked looks, those summoner elders, were silent for a moment, giving everyone time to digest, but before a few people could digest from the shock, the silver-haired female elder sitting on the right couldn't wait to say, "Okay, I know you are shocked, you have a long time to digest this information, but the time of our elders is precious, so let's move on to the next project."
Normally, we don't use real names between summoners, so each summoner has to give themselves a code name to call each other, like my name is Aurora.
In the beginning, you could do whatever you wanted, but because there are some summoners with bad tastes, and they like to give themselves some code names such as God and Buddha, we canceled this setting a few decades ago, and now we will use the magic eight ball to name each summoner. She pulled out a black ball, the size of a leather ball, with a face drawn on it, and a large opening in the place of the mouth.
"Now put your hands in." Aurora said, several people glanced at each other, Xing Tianyu decisively did not move, after all, the thinking of shooting the first bird always exists, but the black guy made an expression of indifference, and was the first to put his hand in.
"Oh, Shet! What the hell is this? He jerked his hand out, as if he had seen a ghost.
Elder Aurora said, "Don't make a fuss, look at the palms of your hands. ”
The black man Xiaohuo glanced at it, but the word blade was written on it.
"Then, from now on, Blade is your code name among summoners." Aurora said, holding the Magic Eight ball in front of everyone, "Who's next?" ”
The method of naming was a bit weird, but it didn't seem dangerous, and several people put their hands in one by one, and when they pulled them out of the ball, they all had names on their hands. The code name of the Italian is Zorro, the code name of the two-dimensional cute girl is Kikyo, and Sylvia's code name is the Red Witch, and finally it was Xing Tianyu's turn, he put his hand into the ball, and immediately felt a sticky tongue licking on his palm, and he immediately understood why several people reacted in surprise just now.
Slightly disgusted, he pulled his hand out and glanced at the palm of his hand, which said [Shadow] in black liquid.
He flashed at a few people, "Then it looks like I'm going to be called Shadow in the future." ”
"Oh my God!" At this time, a summoner elder on the left suddenly stood up, this elder looked nervous, the white robe on his body was dirty and almost turned into a gray robe, his bare head, his beard was obviously unshaven for a long time, he looked at Xing Tianyu with a surprised expression, "It turns out that you are the shadow, I have been waiting for you for fifty years." ”
Xing Tianyu said what was going on, he glanced at the other elders, but the other elders all looked helpless, but they didn't say anything, with a playful expression, Aurora sighed helplessly, "This is the Witch Doctor Elder, he was once accidentally possessed by a strange spirit, and since then he has been a little nervous, you don't have to pay too much attention to his words." ”
"What's wrong with the Shadows?" Xing Tianyu asked strangely.
The elder, known as the Witch Doctor, widened his eyes, "There was once a prophecy that one day, a summoner codenamed Shadow would lead us to victory, and it turned out that person was you, haha, I finally found you." ”
Xing Tianyu said in his heart, what the hell is this, how could the plot in this kind of third-rate movie fall on him, but he has seen a lot of this kind of bullshit, and he also has immunity. "Okay, tell me, how do you save the world?"
"Uh... What the? The elder obviously didn't expect him to ask.
"It's to save the world, what else does the prophecy say? Gotta tell me what to do. ”
This time the elder was stunned, he scratched his head, as if thinking about how to make it up next, but the female elder suddenly laughed, she laughed for a while, and slapped the witch doctor on the head, "Sit down quickly, you." ”
The white-bearded elder sitting in the middle coughed, "Okay, don't care about his crazy words, there is no prophecy, he just likes to joke with newcomers, every time he will find a newcomer to say his so-called prophecy, but it has never come true, you can leave." ”
Xing Tianyu said in his heart, I will go, how do I feel that these elders are a little abnormal.
"There are several identification tags here, they are tokens of summoners, with this proof, every summoner can spend as much as he wants on this island without paying any price, you can stay in a hotel on the island for seven days, and you are free to browse and watch anywhere, you are free most of the time, except to remember five points. First, all summoners are going to attend the welcome banquet tonight, and you, as newcomers, are especially not to be absent. Second, during these seven days, or in this subspace, the use of summoning is absolutely not allowed. ”
"Thirdly, although most of the services are free, there are some precious things that need to be charged, on this island, or between summoners, we use an ancient coin called the Eternal Eye, which is an ancient currency left by the Sakadum people three million years ago, and each newcomer can get 100 Eternal Eyes as a newcomer benefit, you can go to the library to get this money, and if you want to get more ancient coins, you have to find a way to earn it yourself, The Eye of Eternity is also widely used as a trading currency within summoners. ”
"Fourth, the Summoners' Fellowship will be held on the evening of the third day, and you can decide whether to participate or not, and you must attend the Summoners' Fellowship on the fifth day."
"Fifth, seven days later, please arrive at the Gate of Time and Space on time and return to your world. Alright, summoners, you can disband. ”
The five men left the parliament building with excitement and anticipation, and when they walked out of the building, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"I say, do you think what those elders said just now is true?" The black guy couldn't help but ask.
"I don't think they need to lie to us." Kikyo said.
"It's really unbelievable that we are not indigenous to the earth, we are from other worlds." Zorro said with a look of disbelief, but more than that, he just sighed.
"I'm more concerned about the return of otherworldly creatures." Sylvia said solemnly.
"What do you think? Mr. Savior. That Zorro suddenly asked jokingly at Xing Tianyu.
Xing Tianyu wasn't too surprised, because he had already heard similar words from various otherworldly creatures such as the Nightmare King and Lassadis, "I don't have any opinion on this, no matter how things happen, we can only face it, and this matter is not something that a few of us can solve, even if we want to break our heads now, there is no point, instead of thinking about these useless things, it is better to think about what to eat at noon today." ”
His words made several people speechless for a while, but thinking about it, this kind of thing must be done together, and it is not something that a few of them can solve.
A few people came to the hotel first and booked a room, and sure enough, with the identity of the summoner, the people in the hotel were unusually polite to them, arranged the best room for them, and didn't spend a penny at all, and also told a few people that they could go to a nearby restaurant for three meals a day, which was also free.
Xing Tianyu and Sylvia walked into their room, and from the balcony, they could see the beautiful street scene of the Summoner's Island outside, as well as the magnificent scene of the huge energy storm in the distance.
"How? Isn't it an eye-opener, I am anyway. Sylvia said with some emotion.
"Yes, it's completely beyond my imagination, then, our main goal next is to improve our strength, we have to attend the welcome banquet tonight, but before that, we might as well go to the market first."
"Just what I want." Sylvia said.
However, before leaving, Xing Tianyu hadn't forgotten to release Borabi.
Xing Tianyu opened the jar, and with a burst of white smoke, Borabi appeared on the stage, but what made Xing Tianyu speechless was that on Borabi's shoulder, there was a black cat squatting, who else could it be if it wasn't Tom?
"I'll go, why did you come with me? And how do you get into the jar? Xing Tianyu looked at Tom and asked.
Tom licked his paws, "Of course, with the help of Lord Borabi, I made a wish to Lord Borabi that I would never be caught, and she fulfilled my wish, so I am what I am now, honestly, a little beyond my imagination." Tom said smugly.
Never get caught? Xing Tianyu said as he reached out and grabbed Tom, but he grabbed it empty, and his hand passed directly through the cat.
"So what the hell are you now? Phantom? Magical creatures? ”
"Who knows, but at least I'm sure no one will ever catch me again."
Tom said and suddenly disappeared on the spot, and the next second appeared on Xing Tianyu's shoulder, "Only I catch others." Tom said, stretching out his paw and scratching at Xing Tianyu's ear.
Xing Tianyu subconsciously reached out and grabbed his shoulder, but grabbed it again.
Tom was on the hotel bed again.
Xing Tianyu was a little helpless, "I said Borabi, didn't I tell you not to make wishes to people casually?" ”
"He's not a human, he's just a cat, so I didn't make a wish to anyone casually, besides, you're going to use my wishing technique to help you make money in a while, it's too hypocritical to say this now, right?" Borabi said justifiably.
Xing Tianyu covered his face, since he returned to the real world, his authority as a father has completely disappeared, and Polabi is more cute when he is still a human Lori. [.]
