Chapter 924: Summoner Trio
Chapter 924 Summoner Trio
Unlike the extremely rare reincarnations and occasional visitors from other worlds, summoners are not a very rare existence in the other world.
As long as a large magic circle is used and more than 30 magicians who are proficient in summoning techniques are summoned at the same time, and careful preparation is made, there is a high probability that a modern person can be summoned to another world.
And because these summoners often have strong souls and most of them will awaken powerful unique skills in the process of traveling through the world, they can become independent combat forces once summoned. Many organizations and countries have tried or actually carried out summoning for various reasons.
The Kingdom of Farmus is one of them.
However, due to factors such as saving money and the relatively long intervals between each summoning, their summoning success rate is not high. Even with the famous magician Majin Lazen, who is renowned in the Western countries, presiding over the summoning, there are only a few summoners accumulated by the Kingdom of Farmus, and only three of them can actually become a fighting force.
Coincidentally, all three of them are Japanese, so the relationship between them is quite harmonious.
Knowing that the Kingdom had once again initiated the summoning ceremony, the three people gathered together and discussed it with some concern.
"It's probably not going to work." Taguchi Shogo, a young man with the same hairstyle as Kamijou Touma, folded his arms and leaned against the wall. "Since summoning Nozomi and I two years ago, this is already the fourth attempt. The greedy king is unwilling to invest more money. It won't work."
"I agree." The cute girl Mizutani Nozomi, with brown hair and orange-red tips, trimmed her nails with a small file and said disdainfully, "The big summon every three years is decent, but this attempt is just a lucky draw.
Besides, do you expect the summoning to succeed? Who knows if the 'newcomer' will be Japanese, and if they will be easy to get along with? It's already very annoying for me to try to get along with you two. "
"You'll make us sad if you say that." The narrow-eyed young man, Tachibana Kyoya, smiled and said, "Besides, success or failure is not something we can control, so we might as well keep looking forward to it. By the way, Kisei Shogo, if you have a new companion, what kind of person would you like it to be?"
"Hmm, what kind of person?" Mizutani Nozomi paused while filing, flipped through her nails, and said casually, "Are you talking about a real job? I want a manicurist, a woman of course. I'm tired of trimming my fingers and toes myself, and I can't make beautiful nails anyway... Well, if that's the case, it would be better to just hire a makeup artist? She also needs to know how to cut and dye hair..."
"Even if that guy came, there wouldn't be the corresponding tools and materials in this alien world, right? Besides, Xi Xingni is just thinking about himself." Taguchi Shogo interrupted: "If it were me, I would prefer to have a chef. We don't have to worry about food and clothing in this alien world, but the taste of the food... It's hard to describe. I miss the delicious sashimi and sushi so much!"
"Aren't you the same as me? There is no place for modern chefs to perform in the other world?" Mizutani Nozomi said dissatisfiedly.
“How can it be the same?” Shogo said, “Excellent chefs will quickly master the cooking methods of ingredients from another world, which will benefit everyone!”
"Tsk... Excellent makeup artists can also use the materials from this world to create beautiful nails and hairstyles, so you won't look so unsophisticated!"
"Who are you calling unsophisticated? Damn it, she's just a 17-year-old girl who doesn't understand aesthetics..."
"You know, you're only 19, but people would believe you if you said you were 27 or 8!"
“I am mature…”
"Earth dog!"
"hateful……"
The two of them suddenly started arguing, causing Tachibana Kyoya to look somewhat helpless and say, "If it were me, I would prefer to have a companion who could change our situation and bring us freedom."
Shogo and Xixing suddenly became quiet.
After a few seconds of pause, Mizutani Xixing snorted coldly and said, "You're right. It would be great if there was a unique skill that could help us remove the spell control. That way, I could kill that old thing!"
The three of them enjoyed great preferential treatment in the Kingdom of Farmus due to their strong fighting ability and unique identities. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation were all comparable to those of princes and nobles, and they could get most of what they wanted. However, they could not change the ending anyway.
Their lives are in the hands of the demon Lazen who presided over the summoning. With the spell that takes effect during the summoning, they will never be able to resist!
“Hey, you normally look very submissive.” Shogo snorted, “I didn’t expect you had such rebellious thoughts in your heart!”
“Of course, who wouldn’t want freedom?
"Hmm? Shh ...
At this moment, Tachibana Kyoya suddenly raised a finger to his lips, using the internationally accepted gesture to signal the two to be silent, and then pointed out the window.
The two were startled, stood up and walked over, and saw an old man wearing a court wizard's robe and with his silver-white hair meticulously groomed walking by with his hands behind his back.
It’s the demon Lazen!
There was no one else around him. It seemed that he was just passing by the summoning circle on his way back to the palace, and he had no intention of visiting the three of them.
The three looked at each other and shook their heads.
"The summoning has failed again." Tachibana Kyoya couldn't tell whether he felt regretful or relieved.
Taguchi Shogo opened the window and shouted, "Mr. Lazan, it seems that the three of us still don't have a new companion this time?"
Lazan stopped and looked over: "Oh, Shogo... what new companion?"
This question made Shogo a little confused... Was he in a bad mood because of the failed summoning?
“That’s the summons.”
"Another world summon?" Lazan's wrinkles gathered together, then relaxed and laughed, "Hahaha, are you looking forward to new companions? The ceremony is set for March 3th, and it will start in two days. You are too impatient."
Huh? This time, the three of them were stunned at the same time, and Mizutani Nozomi murmured, "Isn't today the 5th?"
Shogo shouted, "Mr. Lazan, I remember today is March 3th, right? No summoning was carried out? Did you remember the date wrong?"
"How could that be?" Lazan said with a smile, "I won't make such a low-level mistake. Today is only the 3rd day, and it's not the summoning interval yet."
The three of them looked at each other. Tachibana Kyoya narrowed his eyes and flashed a thoughtful look. Mizutani Nozomi said strangely: "The 4th of every month is the day we get paid. We just got paid yesterday. How could we remember the time wrong?"
"Hmm? Isn't that right?" Lazan asked curiously, "Yesterday was the 4th, how could today be the 5th? Are you trying to make me happy?"
"...?"
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Looking at the back of Lazen who shook his head and left, Mizutani Xixing was confused and expectant: "Is this old man angry because he failed to summon again?"
“This shouldn’t be the case…” Taguchi Shogo wondered, “This is not the first or second time I’ve failed…”
"Is it possible... to succeed?" Tachibana Kyoya suddenly asked.
Success? The two were stunned: "No way? You mean he doesn't want us to know? Then he wouldn't use such a ridiculous way to prevaricate!"
"No, it's not that he doesn't want us to know." Tachibana Kyoya looked at Mizutani Nozomi: "Just like Nozomi's unique skill 'Kyogen Master', if the newcomer has a mind-interference skill..."
Taguchi Shogo's pupils dilated slightly.
The demon Razen had obviously returned from the summoning circle... Such a weird excuse...
That old man was actually affected? !
"looking around!"
The next moment, the three people said in unison.
If this is true, the 'newcomer' must not be far away! He doesn't know the language of the other world and has no money, so he will definitely make trouble!
We must find him before Lazan can react and get rid of the influence!
……
The unique skill 'Scientist' has two sub-skills, 'Scientist Time' and 'Scientist Technology'.
Scientific time: a certain degree of confusion in the order of time, fooling others' concept of time.
Scientific technology: Your creations and inventions do not need to follow the laws of physics and common sense to a certain extent.
Well, this is very scientific.
The world will and world sound of this world could actually transform Ji Xing's experiences in other worlds into skills. After a brief moment of surprise, Ji Xing confirmed one thing from the search of his memory -
The other world doesn't count. The world that Ji Xing was summoned to has all kinds of comics and novels, such as Conan, Naruto, One Piece... Just like the world before the time travel, the stories of these worlds are all recorded in the Slime World!
The reason is currently unknown, but it is enough to show that this six-and-a-half-star world is not ordinary, and has a wonderful connection with many worlds.
And the Seven Star Pearl will never let him down. The use and practice of the 'Conanist' skills will most likely speed up Ji Xing's contract with Conan's world will, and the same goes for other skills!
The future is expected.
Let’s get back to the topic and return to the present.
When Ji Xing came back to his senses from the time-travel scene and saw and recognized La Zan's old face, he knew where he was and his situation.
The Kingdom of Farmus is a crucial experience pack in the slime world. Rimuru completed the promotion ceremony to the Demon King only after killing nearly 20,000 soldiers from this country.
The old man Lazen is not a good person either. He masters magic similar to Orochimaru's Reincarnation Magic. He prolongs his life by taking over the bodies of others and has survived for hundreds of years.
The summoners from the other world will not only serve as the fighting force of the Kingdom of Farmus, but also as the physical reserve of Razen.
So Ji Xing raised his eyes and fired a "Science Time", disrupting Lazan's memory and judgment, and left the secret room that summoned him.
"I'm afraid it's not over yet. With my current amount of magic energy, he will soon come to his senses. We must move around to completely resolve this trouble."
This is the inherent disadvantage of choosing the Summoner Invasion identity, but in exchange you gain three unique skills and one ultimate skill, which is totally worth it and a huge profit!
Walking on the streets of Farmus Capital, Ji Xing didn't pay much attention to Lazan's troubles, and looked around at this prosperous medieval city.
The endless stream of traveling merchants and enthusiastic vendors helped Ji Xing determine part of the timeline.
This country has not yet lost its status as a commercial center due to the rise of the Demon Federation, which means that the Jura Tempest Federation has not yet been established or has just been established.
During the Pig-Head Emperor War, it was even said that the cute king had not yet met Izawa Shizue?
But one thing is certain, Rimuru has been reincarnated, the dragon seed of the Jura Great Forest, the storm dragon Veldora, has entered its stomach, and the dragon seed aura that intimidated the monsters in the forest has disappeared.
This is the information Ji Xing got from the conversations with the merchants - "Confirmed. Gained the general skill 'Language Proficiency'."
Well, with Ji Xing's intelligence, the fastest way to analyze and master a new language to the point where it is recognized by the Voice of the World is that fast.
With a little more money and a change of clothes, he could perfectly fit into this world. Standing outside a clothing store, Ji Xing looked up at the sign.
Farmus is not yet "developed" enough to have things like display windows, and even large pieces of glass are a technical challenge.
The style of the clothes was not very exciting, but the high school student sweatshirt that he originally wore was quite good, and he would attract a lot of attention when walking on the street.
It is worth mentioning that this time the Seven Star Bead figure is a complete replica of Ji Xing's original appearance. Except for the difference in temperament caused by the difference in strength, he is extremely handsome and can make a living by his face!
"Do you need me to lend you a few silver coins that are universally used in this world?" At this moment, a clear voice in Japanese came from behind Ji Xing.
Ji Xing turned around and saw the three people from Farmus's other world. The one who said this was Tachibana Kyoya, followed by Taguchi Shogo who spread his hands.
"You, after fooling Lazan with your unique skills, dare you walk on the street so brazenly? Do you want to escape or not?"
"Who knows." Mizutani Nozomi looked Ji Xing up and down: "Student? Are you dumbfounded? Are you so excited to see your senior that you don't even know how to greet him?"
They all spoke Japanese. Ji Xing hesitated for two seconds and said with a smile: "Can you speak different world languages?"
Huh? Let's speak another world language?
The three of them were stunned. Did they recognize the wrong person?
No, isn't this English?!
Tch...so this Asian-looking guy is not Japanese?
But the next moment, Ji Xing switched to Japanese and said, "Just kidding, Japanese is fine too."
Then he spoke in another language: "What is the purchasing power of silver coins in this world? I should need to change my clothes. Are a few coins enough?"
"..."
"Does he have a universal skill like proficiency in languages? But..." Mizutani Nozomi curled her lips slightly and said, "Hey, Shogo, why do I feel like this guy is even more arrogant than you?"
Taguchi Shogo was speechless, but the guy in front of him was indeed strangely calm. I was extremely panicked when I was first summoned to this different world.
Is he just a thick-skinned guy or just pretending to be calm?
Tachibana Kyoya smiled and took out his wallet and threw it to Ji Xing: "Go ahead and buy it. This country treats us people from another world well. The salary I just received yesterday should be enough to buy half of the store in front of you."
Snapped--
Ji Xing clasped it with one hand: “Thanks.”
He turned and walked into the clothing store, while Tachibana Kyoya and the other two waited outside. When Ji Xing disappeared, the gentle smile on his face disappeared.
"Get ready, Shogo."
“…Take action?” Shogo was stunned: “Didn’t we say that we have to rely on this guy’s skills…”
"He can't hide from the Kingdom Army and Lazan for long if he walks around like this. It's too dangerous to negotiate openly." Tachibana Kyoya showed a sinister expression: "Why don't the three of us 'capture' him, gain Lazan's trust, and slowly find an opportunity. He will understand our good intentions.
Besides... don't you want him to know what it means to respect your seniors? Xixing and I could easily hurt him too badly, so we can only rely on you."
Tachibana Kyoya smiled crookedly: "Indeed, if it were me, I would kill him directly."
Taguchi Shogo understood, laughed, and raised his fists to the middle: "Although I have no interest in bullying the weak, but Kyoya is right, we should indeed take responsibility and let the younger generation experience the cruel rules of the other world!"
