...... . ....
"In essence, it is no different from the Taoist method of summoning gods."
"Compared to the countless gods in Taoism, the number of Lihawain family ancestors who can be reincarnated as spirits is limited."
"Once more people use these techniques, the power of the ancestors will be weakened, and even lose their identity, thus affecting the true 'foundation of rule' of the Lihawain family."
"After all, the spirit summoning technique doesn't have to be performed by the blood of the Lihawain family."
"You understand what I mean, don't you?"
Looking at La Fulia's smiling but cold face, Luo Shu immediately understood that this was the other party expressing his stern rejection.
He was also quite troubled by this:
"So in essence, the Soul Summoning Technique is actually a technique that borrows the power of ancestors?"
“It’s really a shocking truth.”
After saying this, Luo Shu sighed and turned to look at Lux.
This glance made Lux, who originally wanted to talk more, give up the idea of continuing the discussion. Instead, she closed her eyes and tacitly agreed that Luo Shu would take over the matter.
Seeing this, Luo Shu smiled.
He turned his head and looked at La Fulia, looking at the princess's pure white face, and smiled:
"Then if my bargaining chip for the soul summoning technique is, 'Let the Lihawain family obtain the power of 'half-human, half-god' that can be passed down from generation to generation.'"
"Are you still going to refuse, Princess?"
After saying this, La Fulia's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Luo Shushao in astonishment.
Chapter 179 The Princess' Compromise
“It’s amazing.”
La Fulia sighed softly:
"Although there has been a rumor that 'SDS has mastered the technology to stably produce demigods', I didn't expect that this rumor is actually true?"
After hearing this, neither Luo Shu nor Lux reacted.
Because when SDS launched the evaluation system for warlocks and gave out the title of "demigod", many organizations speculated that there were demigods within SDS. Even more daring people said that SDS had mastered the mass production of gods. Even such outrageous speculations were made.
Therefore, Luo Shu has always ignored these speculations without source, even if some of them have guessed the answer correctly.
After all, Luo Shu and the others wouldn't be so stupid as to come out and admit it in person.
But in the current situation, with La Fu "917" Liya refusing to make a deal, Luo Shu felt that it would be more appropriate not to be so hypocritical and test her bottom line, but to come clean directly.
Therefore, Luo Shu simply said:
"If a warlock wants to become a demigod, what he needs is a power similar to a matching ability called a 'class'."
"As for the job class, you can think of it as something like a 'faction' in a game or a 'hero' in a Japanese game."
"That is to say, for a normal hero to become a demigod, he must have a 'class', and it must be a 'demigod' level class."
"Only in this way can a normal hero fully step into the realm of demigod."
After saying this, Luo Shu looked at La Fulia deeply and explained:
"In addition to these, please be responsible for one more piece of intelligence for free."
"There is a huge gap between demigods and those below them. It is even bigger than the gap between True Ancestors and those below them."
Hearing Luo Shu mention the 'True Ancestor', La Freya was surprised, but not surprised.
The Kingdom of Aldikia and the War King's Domain have been fighting for a thousand years, and the entire country has descended from the abyss to this world, so it is normal for some information to be leaked.
After all, within the Five Great Alliances, the legendary abyss item that is said to rationalize the abyss things that are coming and prevent the world from being affected is not omnipotent and it is impossible to make everything reasonable.
"Even scarier than the True Ancestor..."
After hearing Luo Shu's reminder, La Fulia said with a little surprise:
"I thought you would use the 'Genius Devil', or the huge plan known only by the code name 'Copernicus' but never revealed any trace, as a bargaining chip."
"I didn't expect that in the end they would use the bargaining chip of 'demigod'."
La Fulia's sigh made Lux open her eyes and look at her.
Although there had been speculation before, even the name "Copernicus" was leaked. It seems that the fact that La Folia had planted a "spy" in SDS is basically confirmed.
Moreover, this spy should have a very high status.
Lux didn't say anything about this, but Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was waiting outside the teahouse, suddenly felt a chill.
"Rather than a bargaining chip, it's more like 'helplessness'."
Luo Shu suddenly spoke, looked at La Fulia, spread his hands and said:
"The power of 'class' is essentially a 'composite ability' that is a combination of multiple abilities in a special way and proportion."
"Since it is a composite capability, there is naturally a distinction between primary and secondary, and between core and non-core."
At this point, Luo Shu seemed to be completely defenseless against La Fulia, and said frankly:
"And currently, we have mastered a class, its core ability, or 'technique'..."
Luo Shu paused for a moment, looked at La Fulia meaningfully and said:
"I guess, Princess, you can guess what it is, right?"
La Fulia's expression became slightly unnatural. She glanced at Luo Shu, and seeing his calm face, she immediately found it very funny and said:
"I see. Is the Soul Summoning Technique a basic class skill? Is this why you want to obtain the Soul Summoning Technique?"
Luo Shu did not answer directly, but said calmly:
"After the class is formed, the Aldikia royal family can only designate one person to inherit it. Moreover, each generation can only designate one successor, and the inheritance needs to be supervised by the Secret Management Department."
"Of course, there is no such restriction within the Secret Management Department, and there is only an obligation to notify the Kingdom of Aldikia. Other than that, no conditions will be accepted..."
When La Fulia heard this request, her expression gradually became distorted:
"Does Luo Shujun think he has me in his hands now?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu just raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a provocative smile:
"Your Highness, please guess how many complete demigod 'ranks' the Secret Management Department has."
"You can make bold guesses, even exaggerate them."
Hearing Luo Shu say this, La Fulia immediately pursed her lips, her face looking unusually heavy.
She didn't know how many demigod classes SDS had, but she had to consider the cost of giving up the demigod class based on 'Spirit Summoning'.
Of course, La Freya could refuse and conceal the existence of this job class, but Lux and Luo Shu might not necessarily tip off the Aldikia royal family.
La Fulia is willing to believe Lux, but she doesn't trust Luo Shu.
As for best friends, once they have boyfriends, they become something "uncontrollable".
Once the royal family knew about the existence of the demigod rank based on spirit summoning, they would have opinions about the princess who refused the deal even though they knew the conditions were harsh.
There are three princesses in Aldikia's generation. Although La Fulia is confident that she can suppress her two sisters, if there are internal forces deliberately supporting her sisters.
La Fulia did not think about the rest, but looked up at Luo Shu, then glanced at Lux, then sighed, and said:
"You really picked a good man."
After hearing this, Lux glanced at Luo Shu and immediately smiled and said:
"Thank you for the compliment."
In response, La Fulia just snorted coldly, then crossed her arms and sighed:
"You guys really gave me a lot of trouble."
After saying that, La Fulia glanced at Luo Shu and said immediately:
"I need some time to convince the royal family, but before that, I think Luo Shujun wouldn't mind letting me know more information, right?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu stared at La Fulia's seemingly helpless face for a moment, then he smiled and said:
"With pleasure."
Chapter 180 Luo Shu's Little Thoughts
In the end, La Fulia just said "Let's contact each other tomorrow" and left with a serious face, leaving the space to Lux and Luo Shu.
"It's rare to see her showing her emotions on her face."
Looking at the closed door, Lux sighed softly with a look of surprise on her face.
In response, Luo Shu just spread his hands:
"Just leaving with this expression, La Fulia is already very good at controlling her emotions. After all, she was threatened by me just now..."
As he spoke, Luo Shu glanced in the direction of the door, and then said:
"To be honest, I actually thought she would get angry, but I didn't expect that she would endure it."
"She's not the type to let her emotions take over her brain."
Lux shook her head and glanced at Luo Shu, reminding him:
"Don't underestimate her inner strength."
"For La Fulia, your threat is not what she cares about. What she really cares about is whether other members of the royal family will threaten the direct line's rule over the kingdom."
"After all, even if she refuses to trade Soul Summoning for a rank, as long as we refuse to give up on obtaining Soul Summoning and contact other members of the royal family, there will eventually be members of the royal family who crave power and choose to trade Soul Summoning for us."
"At that time, the control of the situation will no longer be in her hands, or even in the hands of the queen."
"So, no matter how harsh the conditions are, as long as they are not completely unacceptable, La Fulia will agree to our conditions. The only problem is the length of time."
At this point, Lux smiled helplessly:
"Originally, I was thinking of 'posing' an attitude of negotiation with other members of the Aldikia royal family in order to make La Fulia back down, but I didn't expect that you would choose this method."
Hearing this, Luo Shu smiled, without any intention of apologizing for causing trouble, but smiled and said:
"I know what you mean, but aren't you friends?"
"It's not a good thing to make things too ugly between friends."
"Moreover, the premise of step-by-step intimidation is that La Fulia herself is not a candidate for the clan."
"Given the fact that La Folia is qualified, forcing her to make too many concessions is not a good idea in my opinion. After all, we will still work together in the future."
"So compared to what you did, I would rather hint to La Fulia and let her take the initiative to tie the Kingdom of Aldikia to our chariot."
Lux smiled and said, "So, you just proposed the condition that 'the Secret Management Department has no restrictions on the dissemination of job ranks, and only has the obligation to notify.'"
"Are you suggesting to La Fulia that if you want more members of the royal family to gain the power of rank, you should let them join the Secret Management Department?"
"That's right." Luo Shu nodded and said frankly, "My condition does have the purpose of hinting at this, and considering the time, La Fulia should have reacted a long time ago."
Lux was a little surprised to see Luo Shuchengran:
"Could it be that the psychic mediums of the Kingdom of Aldikia are suitable to become a Familiar?"
"If there are only one or two candidates for the clan, it's probably not worth it for you to do this, right?"
Luo Shu couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, and said with a bit of hesitation:
"It's not that they are all very suitable, but at least, La Fulia's two sisters and one of her aunts should have a high probability of being qualified."
"Counting the confirmed La Fulia, that means the Aldikia royal family may bring four family members."
"Considering this base number, I chose to use the conditions just now."
At this point, Luo Shu thought about it carefully and explained in a deep voice:
"But it will take time to verify whether this can be accomplished."
"After all, La Fulia is the crown princess and future heir. Since her rank comes from us, the power that is fundamentally in our hands will definitely not be used by her at the first opportunity."
"And because the other two princesses are not the first crown princes, they will not be included in the selection for political reasons, so as to avoid people with ulterior motives accusing the queen of intentionally changing the heir."
"So, among the candidates who can obtain the power of 'class', the Aldikia royal family will most likely choose someone from the previous generation, that is, someone of the Queen's generation."
