Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

What is the way out for humans in the magical continent? This grand proposition was just something that Liduo could think of naturally, but it was not something that a weak person like Liduo could handle for the time being.

Besides, the Magic Continent is just going downhill now, not reaching a desperate situation.

After three thousand years of development, even though social progress has been slow, and even though the invasion of monsters has always been the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the people of the magic continent, a relatively peaceful and prosperous order has been established, and the population has returned to the level before the meteorite shower.

It seems that there is nothing wrong. But how many people can see through the fragility of this prosperity? How many people realize that this is the calm before the storm?

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

The gap in ideology and culture, the transition from feudal agricultural civilization to supernatural powers becoming the mainstream of human pursuit and the normalization of combat, have made it difficult for people on the magical continent to break out of their cognitive ruts and observe and think at a higher level, which means they generally lack foresight.

Or maybe power makes people arrogant and unwilling to bend down and listen to other voices. People with foresight do not necessarily have power, so their voices are hard to be heard.

Because the premise of foresight is to be knowledgeable and powerful. But whether it is profound knowledge or powerful strength, it takes a lot of time to successfully acquire it. It can be said that you can't have both fish and bear's paw.

The existence of monster invasions objectively forces the magic continent to become a world where power is supreme.

In such a world, those who have the qualities to become strong will inevitably be pushed onto the path of pursuing power.

Just like after the baptism of magic, any child with purple qualifications or above will be immediately taken to the capital city along with their family and directly enter the Advanced Magic Academy to study.

There is no other choice, because no one will allow him to waste his talent! He will only become a master summoner or a grandmaster summoner in the end, instead of becoming a scholar or thinker.

Of course, it is unlikely that a child with such qualifications would want to pursue any other career.

What are you thinking?! If you were told since childhood that summoner is the noblest profession in the world, and master summoner and grandmaster summoner are the people standing at the top of the summoner pyramid, when you can become one of the people standing at the top, would you want to be a farmer or something else?

Perhaps the magical continent needs a strong person who can stand on the top of the continent, look higher and farther, and is willing to look down, to lead everyone out of the current maze.

But this has nothing to do with Lido. To be selfish, when Lido returns to dust, as long as no one bursts the bubble, the magic continent may still be able to maintain its false prosperity. Who cares about the flood after I die?

Of course, Li Duo is not a heartless person. If one day, Li Duo's power can allow her to stand in that position without any worries, Li Duo does not mind being the guide.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. But before that, Lido would not dare to step forward rashly.

Maybe before that, humans on the magical continent have already given birth to their own savior?

Of course, Lido didn't think she was qualified for this responsibility. But after all, Lido had the support of the entire world's civilization. Even if she led everyone to take a detour, it was better than a stagnant pool of water.

Anyway, Lido thinks it’s time for the magic continent to change!

Why does Lido think so? Look at the timeline of various historical events in those books!

In the 97th year of the Magical Calendar, there was the first recorded invasion of monsters.

In the 101st year of the Magical Calendar, the first recorded sighting of a magical beast took place.

In the 105th year of the Magic Calendar, elves were summoned for the first time in human history, and the first summoner was born, named Changze. Later, he added his surname and changed it to Ning Changze.

In the 135th year of the Magic Calendar, humans repelled the invasion of monsters for the first time and established a defense line.

In the 138th year of the Magical Calendar, the Bac Ninh Empire was established.

In the 150th year of the Magic Calendar, the Magic Research Association was established, and humans began to conduct superficial research on summoners, summoning arrays, and elves.

In the 155th year of the Magical Calendar, the elf summoning mechanism was discovered and the number of summoners increased slightly.

In the 175th year of the Magical Calendar, a mid-level monster appeared among the monsters and returned again. It took humans three months to kill the invading monsters again, with heavy casualties. Humans began to study the monsters, distinguishing their types, naming them, analyzing their combat capabilities, etc.

In the 253rd year of the Magic Calendar, the first magic crystal mine was discovered on the northern continent, and humans began to study its uses.

In the 316th year of the Magic Calendar, humans achieved initial results in their research on summoning arrays. By combining them with magic crystals, they invented a magic baptism ceremony that could help summoners awaken the array.

In the 336th year of the Magic Calendar, after twenty years of intensive research and improvement, it was discovered that the magic baptism ritual was perfected during the nine-year-old period.

In the 400th year of the Magic Calendar, the Elf Temple was established and began to build branch temples in cities across the four continents. Funds were allocated from various empires to popularize magic baptism and help children awaken the summoning array. In the same year, magic academies began to be built in various cities.

……

and many more.

It must be said that the early days of the development of summoners were quite impressive. Summoners and researchers from all over the continent worked together to give humans the upper hand in the battle against monsters, so within a thousand years before the magic calendar, they achieved considerable results.

Institutions that are well known today, such as the Elf Temple, Pharmacists Guild, Blacksmiths Guild, Magic Academy, and Magic Mall, were all established during this period.

The magic baptism ceremonies, elf summoning ceremonies, magic circles in training rooms, some potion recipes, forging methods of some magic equipment, the understanding of monsters and elves, the discovery of some magic materials, etc. that are now used in the magic continent are also the research results of this period.

During this period, although the invasion of monsters could still cause considerable casualties to humans, humans had always been able to hold their defenses firmly and still had a slight advantage.

Then in the second millennium, the research on magic could only add icing on the cake of previous achievements, and no major results appeared.

For example, some new knowledge about monsters has been added, some new recipes for potions and methods for making equipment have been added, the characteristics of a certain elf have been added, and so on.

There will be no more epoch-making discoveries until the arrival of the third millennium.

Within the second thousand years, mankind actually achieved considerable development. While fighting against monsters, the courts of various countries began to struggle for power. There were signs of war between countries, and frictions began on the borders.

However, before the war could expand, the monsters returned again, and high-level monsters appeared! They launched a demonic tide in various places.

Humans had no choice but to make peace again and put their energy into dealing with the monsters. However, the intensity of the high-level monsters and the monster tide was far from comparable to the previous mid-level monsters and monster invasions, and humans suffered heavy casualties again!

Since then, humans have been at a disadvantage in the battle against monsters. There are not enough low-level summoners, and the top summoners are busy putting out fires and have no time to spare.

As a result, the magic baptism ceremony began to be popularized among the whole people, and institutions such as the Elf Temple were also moved down to the towns.

It took humans more than a hundred years to achieve a tenuous balance again at the cost of retreating the defense line by a hundred kilometers.

It was not until the arrival of the third millennium that an invention that the summoners believed was comparable to the magic baptism ceremony suddenly increased the top power of the summoners in a short period of time, pushing the defense line back.

That invention is – the elf sacrifice ceremony!

In the year 2004 of the Magical Calendar, the senior summoner Lovka invented the elf sacrifice ceremony and successfully upgraded his blue elf into a purple elf!

By the way, the color of his summoning array also changed from blue to purple! He advanced from a high-level summoner to a master summoner!

This invention was a treasure for the summoners at that time. Although the cost-effectiveness was not high, the resources at that time were much more abundant than today, so many high-level summoners advanced to become master summoners, and the top power of mankind was greatly improved!

Thus, the third round of monster crisis was temporarily resolved!
