Chapter 57 57. What to summon?
Silk shoes stepped on the soft dark red carpet in the corridor. Exquisitely carved brass wall lamps were lined up along the corridor, and on the right wall, various precious art paintings were inlaid in gilded frames.
If Lin Jun were here, he would have kept muttering "evil nobles", but to Inanna, all this was just her familiar home.
I walked all the way from the bedroom on the third floor to the study on the second floor.
Her teacher, Julian Daniels, was hired by her father from the Relic Association. The housekeeper said that the teacher asked for compensation by reading the family's collection of books after teaching.
In fact, ever since the teacher came to the mansion, he has almost lived in the study.
Even when she was teaching herself magic, except for the practical classes when she would go to the training ground to practice, she would come to the study room for classes at other times.
But today, it seemed that someone arrived before her, and the sound of conversation could be heard from the study.
Of course, Inanna would not do such an inappropriate thing as hiding outside the door and eavesdropping.
Gently push open a side door.
"Teacher, you don't know, at that time they stuffed such a thick thing into my mouth, blew air into it, and woke me up..."
The voices stopped abruptly when the study door opened.
Inanna looked up and saw someone dancing and talking about something extraordinary beside the desk. She knew the person who looked embarrassed when she came in - another student of the teacher, Calvin.
An overly energetic guy, always either being punished by the teacher after doing something funny, or on his way to do something funny.
"Inanna, it's quite early today." Teacher Julian smiled and invited Inanna to come and sit down.
Anyone who first saw this man with a moustache would think he was a pampered middle-aged noble. No one would have guessed that he was actually a diamond-level wizard in his fifties.
"Good day, teacher."
After seeing Inanna sitting down, Julian looked back at Calvin and asked:
"So what do these things you said have to do with your failed potion? This is the first time I've seen a truth potion brewed into this color."
As he spoke, he picked up the bottle of ink-black medicine on the table and shook it.
When it comes to potions, Calvin's face suddenly turns bitter.
“Those Pooji rescued us and gave us gifts!
Teacher, don’t look at me like that, I’m serious!
The enchanted sword that Gray had was given by them.
There was actually a parasitic tree seed among them, so naturally I came to get it to make medicine.
How could I know that this was a dead seed that had been picked too long ago and its medicinal properties had all disappeared? "
Julian leaned on the table and rubbed his brows.
"Okay, I won't tell you whether your part about Puji is true or false.
Have I ever taught you that before mixing a potion, you need to test the medicinal properties of all the ingredients before using them?"
Calvin opened his mouth and whispered after a long while: "I did teach you...but, I'm also in a hurry to hand in my homework..."
"Go copy the potion-making instructions 30 times and show them to me tomorrow."
There was no way to refute it, so Calvin could only hang his head and say "yes".
At this time, Inanna suddenly came over with a curious look and asked Calvin:
"Um, what's this Puji you mentioned? Can you tell me about it?"
The Duke's daughter's delicate little face was a little close to him, so Calvin shyly moved back a little, and then he exaggerated and loudly described his and Gray's journey to the dungeon.
Talk about how they relied on Calvin's wisdom and successfully reached the fifth floor.
He fought another three hundred rounds with the dragon man who suddenly attacked, and barely escaped after being defeated. He was seriously injured but was unexpectedly rescued by a group of fluorescent Puji.
He also specifically emphasized that what he had said before about being interrupted was referring to the situation when he was rescued by the mycelial tentacles, and not any other strange things.
Inanna seemed to have heard a new story, and she would exclaim from time to time, or nod in agreement, which made Calvin speak more excitedly.
After Calvin finished speaking, Inanna suddenly suggested:
“It’s amazing, I want to see it too!
Teacher, can we go a little further in the practical class next time and go to the underground city?"
Julian looked at Inanna, who seemed to be feeling a little guilty, strangely, stroking his chin and saying:
"It's not impossible, but it requires Mr. Eric's consent."
As soon as she finished speaking, Inanna cheered, forgot about the class, and ran straight to Eric to get a ticket.
Calvin was left with a confused look on his face: How could the story I told be so attractive!
"I'm afraid I have to deny your request, Miss Inanna."
"Why?"
Inanna couldn't understand Eric's unexpected refusal.
"Teacher is with me, we're only going down to the fifth floor at most, there won't be any danger.
Why don't you come along too, Eric? "
Eric sighed and frowned in thought.
After a while, he took out a magic pendant from the drawer.
As the pendant activated, a translucent membrane enveloped both him and Inanna.
Inanna felt as if she had suddenly entered a secret room and could no longer hear any sounds from outside.
At this time, Eric said:
“Ms. Inanna, it’s not that I want to stop you from going anywhere, it’s just that the timing is so unfortunate.
You should keep the following words to yourself and do not spread them to others."
Eric looked at Inanna, and when she nodded with a hint of doubt, he continued:
“You may not know, but the Hermit Empire has been making more and more moves on the border recently.
There was even news that a small group of demons had sneaked into the country.
Everything shows that they are ready to restart the war.
Under the pressure of war, the Supreme Council passed a resolution to summon heroes..."
"Brave?"
Inanna was incredulous.
This word is just like the word "devil", she has only seen it in legends.
They were all active three hundred years ago, too far away from Inanna.
Now suddenly I hear that the United Kingdom is calling for heroes?
Although she didn't know what exactly was needed to summon a hero, she always had a feeling that it was unreal.
Eric's words continued here.
“We are still in the preparation stage. In the name of preparing for war, we are mobilizing resources across the country on a large scale to prepare for the call-up.
The real news was blocked within the upper echelons.
But can we really hide it from the Empire?
The Duke and I are not optimistic about this. There has always been a lack of people among the nobles who betray for the sake of eternal life.
A traitor reports the news, or clues are discovered from the mobilization of resources.
Either way, it is impossible for the Empire to have no reaction after noticing the abnormality.
Assassination, sabotage, and even starting a full-scale war ahead of time are not impossible.
You are the only heir to the Duke, and you should know this, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would affect your magic studies.
In short, please stay in the mansion during this period, I will ensure your safety."
When Inanna suddenly heard this reason, her head was confused and she couldn't say "no" at all.
Just asked at the end:
"Don't summoned heroes still need time to grow?
Since there is an imminent danger, why not just resurrect the brave hero from three hundred years ago, Lord Link?"
Unfortunately, Eric shook his head, obviously not knowing everything.
Inanna could only wonder about this question alone.
——
At the same time, a brave man.
"Tell me! What else are you hiding? Xiao Hei, try harder!"
[I have really confessed everything, please don’t come again!]
[wooooooooooooo]
