Dick also wanted to do a generous ten-draw streak, but he didn't have enough money!
The various materials needed to set up a summoning array usually cost around 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins. The key is that some materials are in short supply, so it is not easy to get them.
For example, high-level magic stones are magic crystals generated in the earth veins, and only large-scale magic stone veins have a certain probability of generating high-level magic stones of extremely high purity.
Therefore, this thing is a controlled material of the same level as cold iron, and it is not allowed to be bought, sold or circulated among the public without permission.
Because the magic stone has so many uses and is so important! In addition to being used to set up magic arrays to summon earthlings, magicians also need it to increase their training speed and use some powerful magic. It is also one of the necessary materials for alchemists to make advanced magic props. It is an absolute military supply.
But the irony is that such an important strategic resource is not allowed to circulate among the people, but several major mineral veins within the empire are controlled by the great nobles.
Just like cold iron is also under control, but Laguge, which owns the largest cold iron mine, is the fiefdom of the Duke of Best.
When Dick was still in the imperial capital, he heard his cheap brothers bragging about how at some top aristocratic gatherings, the second-generation rich people whose families had magic stone mines would organize a game called "Lotto" to show off their wealth. The game was to set up a summoning array on the spot, let everyone summon once, and then compete to see who summoned the more "rare" Earthling.
When Dick heard that a rich man was paying out of his own pocket to invite everyone to draw cards, he was very envious of this free opportunity, but unfortunately he was a bastard of a duke and would not receive an invitation at all.
During the entire anti-bandit campaign, Dick only found five high-level magic stones in the treasure house of the Blood Wolf Gang. Later, in order to severely damage the evil god, Dick gave two more to his uncle Behemoth. The old magician directly used up a whole stone when using the forbidden spell.
Including the ones left over, Dick still had eight in his hand, not enough for one summoning.
Fortunately, this time in cooperation with the Golden Cat Chamber of Commerce, the gift that Steve presented was two high-level magic stones, a gift that Dick could not refuse.
After having ten more Philosopher's Stones in his hand, Dick couldn't help but feel conflicted.
Is it for your own use in practicing magic?
Or gamble on a single-draw miracle?
After much thought, Dick was finally possessed by the adults and couldn't control his hand.
smoke!
Territory construction requires talents, but where do they come from?
The only option is to draw!
What Dick needs this time is talents in agriculture, and preferably comprehensive technical talents.
Although he liked farming games and novels very much in his previous life, he was not a graduate of a related major and was essentially a social animal kept in an office building.
Therefore, for professional matters, you should try to find professionals to do it. You cannot do something disgusting like an amateur guiding experts just because you are the governor and the highest leader of the entire territory.
The ceremony was still held in the garden greenhouse on the top floor of the castle. Before the ceremony, the participants had to follow the proper etiquette in bathing, changing clothes, and worshipping various gods and demons. As a staunch materialist, Dick had to believe in metaphysics since he was in a fantasy world with gods and supernatural powers!
"Everything is ready, summon, start!"
It was the seventh time he used summoning, and everything was already familiar. The light of the magic circle lit up, and Dick silently recited his needs in his heart. He couldn't think of many two-dimensional characters that met this condition at the moment, so he could only pray for good luck with the idea of hitting the jackpot.
Soon, a figure emerged in the light, but what surprised Dick a little was that there was only one person in the center of the magic circle at the beginning.
The other person had red hair and red eyes, and had two horns (? ) on her head. She was wearing a black and red dress, and was holding a large hardcover book in her hands to protect her chest. Her beautiful face was looking around with a puzzled look.
Dick looked at this fair-skinned, intellectual beauty and felt that she looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember which anime series she appeared in for a moment.
And at this moment, a second figure began to appear in the magic circle.
Before the opponent's outline became clearly visible, Dick felt an unprecedented terrifying pressure coming towards him. The red-haired beauty was also frightened by this breath and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but because the ceremony had not yet ended, she could only stand in the formation and could not move.
"What the hell! What did I summon?"
The figure in the halo has not yet taken shape, and the vague outline seems to be twisting like a snake. The other party is now standing on the border of the two worlds. Relying on her incredibly powerful strength, the power of summoning cannot directly drag her over like it does to ordinary earthlings.
At this moment, the shadow raised a hand and made a seemingly light stroke, but Dick suddenly felt a piercing pain.
He looked at the shadow in disbelief. The other party had easily destroyed the slave contract attached to the summoning array. The powerful backlash directly caused considerable damage to Dick.
Seeing this, Befa and Rita on the periphery all changed their expressions and rushed forward to protect Dick.
But Dick covered his chest with one hand, which was in great pain, and signaled the two not to get close with the other hand. Because he could feel that the other party's strength was absolutely god-level, and he was an absolute true god!
This wave of summons was both a win and a loss.
He was using a thin shrimp fishing rod to hook a huge fish that he couldn't even pull up.
And it seemed that his forced summoning had offended the other party, and he was obviously angry.
Dick wanted to apologize, but his face was not as important as his life at this moment, so he quickly admitted his mistake and asked the other party to show mercy, and return to where he came from. However, the severe pain caused by the backlash of the contract made it impossible for him to speak at this moment. His face was completely pale, and only the blood at the corner of his mouth was bright red.
However, just when Dick thought that he was going to get into trouble in such a weird way this time, the powerful shadow suddenly uttered a slightly puzzled exclamation, and then approached Dick.
As the other party stepped forward and took the initiative to cross the border into this world, her figure became clearly visible. A tall, busty beauty with blonde hair and squinty eyes suddenly appeared in the center of the barrier.
As soon as the other party appeared, strange scenes appeared around again, but this time, the strange scene came from this world. The surrounding space became distorted, and it seemed that there was an invisible force that was repelling the blonde beauty in front of him, trying to push her out of this world.
Seeing this, Dick remembered what his mentor, Grandol, had said: the magic circle used to summon Earthlings was based on the ancient dragon magic, which was originally used to summon gods from the outside world. Human magicians used it as a prototype and created a downgraded version to search for other worlds. As a result, they discovered Earth, a good place with advanced technology but no magic, and began to tirelessly fleece Earth.
Theoretically speaking, even a degraded version of the summoning array actually has a chance of summoning a god from the outside world, but the probability may be only one in a billion.
Moreover, the gods from the outside world can only communicate, and it is difficult for them to enter this world because they will be rejected by the laws of the world.
This is the situation in front of him. Dick has recognized the blonde beauty in front of him. Her name is Lukoya, from the anime "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid".
But even in such a "relaxed and daily" anime, the dragon girls that appear are all world-destroying beings. And Lucoa's true form is Quetzalcoatl, the supreme being in Aztec mythology.
The Quetzalcoatl in mythology is a god that symbolizes sowing, harvesting, and bumper harvests. It is indeed related to "agriculture", but this is no longer a talent, but a damn divine talent!
Lukoya walked up to Dick despite the rejection from the world, holding his chin with one hand, and looked at him carefully for a moment with a serious expression. His originally squinted eyes gradually opened, revealing a pair of gorgeous, gem-like heterochromatic pupils, as if he had discovered something interesting.
"There is indeed some fate between you and me. However... the world you live in doesn't seem to welcome me very much. Please wait a moment."
As Lukeya spoke, she lightly tapped Dick's forehead. The damage and pain caused by the backlash disappeared without a trace in an instant. Lukeya then turned around and stepped through the void to leave this world. Not long after, another Lukeya came over, but this time the opponent was not rejected by the world, and the pressure he exerted on Dick was not as strong as the previous one. He was about the same as the Black and White Spear in his prime, both of whom were strong men equivalent to the Saint level.
After the second Lukoya came over, the magic circle that was on the verge of breaking was directly restored by a powerful force, and even the slave contract part was repaired.
Lukeya seemed very happy and put the "collar" on herself.
But when Dick saw this scene, he didn't know whether he should be happy or scared.
If the feeling of hooking a dragon on the small fishing rod before was terrifying, then now that the dragon was actively trying to force its way into his fish basket, it was even more indescribably terrifying!
So much so that when the ceremony was over, as soon as Lukoya stepped out of the magic circle, Dick subconsciously took half a step back.
This small half step immediately caused Lukoya to let out a cry of pain and hurt.
"Eh!? Don't be afraid, I am your familiar now, Master."
"Uh...you, you really..."
"Yes, it's true! But the one standing here right now is not my real body, but an incarnation that was split off specifically to adapt to this world. Drive me as you like!"
The author says:
Author's words: The first Lukoa is Quetzalcoatl, the second Lukoa is actually a crossover character from other games, a different Lukoa that has weakened itself in order to adapt to the world (indecisive, multiverse).
Actually, I just like big breasts!
056. Heluxiaofu! ?
There is no doubt that Dick was lucky again and created a miracle with a single draw!
The two beauties who came in response to the call both have important backgrounds.
The red-haired one is called Ruby-Odetox, a female demon from the anime "Demon King and Hero". In the original work, she used her extensive knowledge and invincible force to save the world they live in.
The blonde one is called Lukoa, whose true form is Quetzalcoatl. She comes from the manga "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid". She is a powerful dragon lady with a gentle and sentimental personality.
By the way, the size of this one is really super big!
With a height of meters and a chest circumference of meters, those two "world-class" big melons stood proudly on Lukeya's chest in an unscientific but magical posture. And as she jumped and moved, they jumped and shook almost all the time, making Dick seem to have auditory hallucinations just by watching with his eyes, and he could hear the wonderful "duang, duang" sound effects.
Lukoya's reaction to being summoned by Dick was to accept it with pleasure, and she even took the initiative to move closer to Dick, which made Befa and Rita, who had always been wary of her, very nervous.
As for Ruby Eye, after asking carefully and learning that Dick was indeed unable to send her back to her original world, she became depressed.
She almost cried as she told Dick that in her original world, the battle between humans and demons had lasted for thousands of years, and it seemed like a fate that would never end.
As a Demon King candidate who was born and raised in the "Outside Library", she studied hard for a full 120 years and has already seen through the true source behind this war.
Originally, Ruby Eye had a plan. After she succeeded to the throne and became the Demon King, she would form an alliance with the human heroes of her generation and work together to bring change to that world.
As a result, she was about to become the Demon King, and the hero in the prophecy was about to be born in a year, but she suddenly met with misfortune and was forcibly pulled into this world by Dick's summoning technique.
After waiting for decades, she still didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl.
Seeing that Ruby-eye was so depressed that she was almost on the verge of collapse, Lukoya comforted her and told her that she didn't need to worry too much about her original world, because there were countless timelines in each world, and each timeline would develop more possibilities because of the different choices made by each person.
So there must be a world line where her plan succeeds, but it may not be the one she is in.
Maybe being summoned by Dick was her destiny on this line.
"So always look forward. Your knowledge may be of some use here."
Under Lukeya's guidance, Ruby Eye's mood obviously recovered a little. Then Lukeya looked at Dick sitting opposite her and winked at him playfully.
Seeing this, Befa and Rita, who were standing behind Dick, looked at each other silently, and both decided in their hearts that Lukoya "should not be underestimated".
During dinner, Dick introduced two new companions to everyone.
Since those present were all core members, their identities and origins were not concealed at all.
When everyone heard that the identities of these two new companions were so exaggerated, one was a goddess and the other was a demon king, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Especially the three Taimanin, when they heard the word Demon King, they almost had PTSD! They subconsciously touched their lower backs and looked at Ruby Eyes with fear.
However, although Ruby-eye is the Demon King (candidate) of her world, her physical strength and magic power are actually very weak. Let alone her fighting ability against Ruko Abi who was summoned at the same time, if she were to fight with Marikawa Shizuka, the fight might be a 50-50 draw.
Her real strength lies in the profound knowledge in her mind.
Lukoya, on the other hand, quickly got along well with everyone. Everyone respected her not only because of her status as a goddess, but also because she immediately surpassed Marikawa Shizuka and topped the breast size rankings, with her 120-centimeter "World Cup" breasts standing out from the crowd!
The next morning, Dick called Ruby Tong and Lukoa to the study, took out the agricultural development plan he had formulated and showed it to them, wanting to hear the opinions of professionals.
In just one night, Ruby Eye seemed to have accepted reality and began to enter her new role as a counselor. She pointed out some problems in the plan one by one and quickly gave more reasonable adjustment suggestions, which were fully adopted by Dick.
Dick had solemnly promised her and Lukoa before that he would respect their personal wishes as he would his companions and comrades, and would never abuse the coercive power of the slave contract unless it was absolutely necessary.
For this reason, Ruby Eye was a little confused at first, and said, if you are like this, then why don't you remove the slave contract that comes with the summoning technique from the beginning?
Dick spread his hands, saying that this was a "historical issue" and there was nothing he could do about it.
Summoning magic originated from the dragon's dimensional magic. Legend has it that the dragon clan uses it to summon external gods and communicate with fellow dragons in other worlds. It is a super long-distance call in the fast dimension.
Later, the dragons left this world, and the summoning technique was learned by the elves. They modified and adjusted this magic according to their own needs and habits, resulting in the rune technique becoming more and more complicated.
After all, the Elf Empire at that time advocated luxury above all else, and even magic runes were deliberately made into very complicated patterns for the sake of beauty.
Later, as the elves declined and humans rose, this dimensional magic was obtained by human magicians, who modified and adjusted it again, making it a one-way summoning technique "aimed" at the earth, and added a binding slave contract to it.
At this point, this summoning technique has become the version that Dick is currently using, but after countless iterations and updates, the complexity of its technique has far surpassed the original dragon version.
One thing that must be mentioned here is that the reason why Dick learned magic very quickly and could quickly master high-end application skills such as silent casting that required thousands of times of use to master, in addition to his own extraordinary talent, was also related to his work experience as a sudden death-level programmer in his previous life.
In the process of learning magic, he quickly discovered that the composition of rune formulas was similar to writing code, so he learned it very quickly. He was even able to simplify some simpler formulas to make them more advantageous in battle.
But summoning has evolved over thousands of years and is far more complex than ordinary magic. In Dick's words, it's a "super-giant shit mountain" where you know there are a lot of useless things, but if you move anything, the whole program won't work properly.
Therefore, without the reference of the original dragon technique, even though Dick was an experienced programmer, he could not do anything when faced with this technique, and finally had to give up.
As long as the program can
After a detailed discussion, Ruby Tong requested to be allowed to go to the fields for an on-site inspection. She also needed to learn in detail about the growth habits of the main local crops in order to develop a suitable rotation plan.
Dick immediately said that the inspection could be arranged at any time, and the main local crops could be found in the greenhouse garden where they were summoned yesterday, and some of each were grown.
"The staple food of the local people in Laguge is coarse wheat and yam, both of which are very cold-resistant coarse grains, but the yield is not high. The locals have no choice but to grow these because of the climate. Fortunately, starting this year, the climate will return to normal, and I have sent people to look for suitable new crops."
“Would you like to plant corn?”
Lukoya, who had just listened quietly and did not participate in the discussion, suddenly spoke up and suggested to Dick that they grow corn.
Dick thought to himself that he had thought about this. There was indeed a kind of food similar to corn in this world, and he had eaten it several times when he was in the imperial capital. But the food called "corn beans" by the locals came from the warm subtropical region in the southern part of the empire, while Laguge had a subarctic climate with four distinct seasons, so it couldn't be grown at all.
Dick was about to explain the situation when he saw Lukoya reach directly into the valley of his chest and pull out a golden, thick and large corn cob.
Then, like performing magic, Lukoya took out more than a dozen corn cobs of different varieties from her "four-dimensional cleavage" one by one, and placed them in a row on Dick's desk, in front of Dick and Ruby's increasingly shocked gazes.
Dick picked up a piece of milky corn that still had Lucoya's body temperature, and suddenly remembered that in the South American mythology on Earth, it was the Quetzalcoatl who gave away this excellent crop, corn.
