Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

But do you think that the only targets of the Spirit Catchers are wild Pokémon? You are too naive!

Do you think that was the darkest moment for wild Pokémon? You are wrong!

Lido has always been willing to believe in the kindness of human beings, but she never minds guessing their bottom line with the greatest malice.

Wild Pokémon are hard to come by, and it’s not easy to find and capture them. There are also many risks in the wild, so naturally there will be people with bad intentions who choose to target the Pokémon that have a contract with the summoner.

Compared to searching for wild Pokémons in the wild, it is much easier to find summoners living in human territory! There are also many more targets!

And with the weakness of the summoner, whether it is killing the summoner and forcing the elf to be released, or forcing the summoner to automatically hand over the elf with both hands, it is easier than capturing wild elves!

If initially only some bad-tempered Soul Hunting Teams targeted summoners, then when wild Pokémon began to become hard to find, it would not be surprising that other Soul Hunting Teams, which had already tasted great benefits, would fall into depravity.

Of course, for the sake of their own safety, the Soul Catching Team would definitely not dare to target those summoners with strong backgrounds, but aren't there still many summoners of civilian origin?

The moral standards of a summoner who is able to work in the ghost hunting team are unlikely to be very high, and his moral bottom line is probably very flexible.

Even if they are overwhelmed by the huge profits, they probably won’t care about the situation of the confrontation between humans and monsters, and will only think about gaining more profits!

Although this situation is not clearly described in history books, Lido believes that her guess is almost correct.

Because according to records in the books, less than a hundred years after humans gained the upper hand, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse!

The top-level combat power has increased, but the basic combat power is getting weaker and weaker, the society is even more turbulent, and civilian summoners are all in danger!

Perhaps it is precisely because the human leaders have seen the root cause of the serious situation and social unrest that they have completely banned the use of elven sacrifice rituals, at least on the surface!

It is estimated that a lot of measures were used to crack down on the illegal activities of the ghost-catching team at that time, which objectively led to the disbandment of the ghost-catching team.

At least by the time Li Duo was here, there was no legend of the ghost-catching team. Everyone tacitly stopped mentioning it, making it a taboo word that no one knew about.

However, Pandora's box has been opened. Will it be so easy to close it again?

Although it has been banned openly, there are always some people who are used to being superior and do not treat the lower class people as human beings. They will secretly hold sacrificial ceremonies in private.

Of course, the number cannot be compared with that period, and those caught will be severely punished, but it may be more likely that the people will not report it and the officials will not investigate it.

Perhaps the source of the sacrificed elves is more likely to be to induce the summoner to voluntarily sacrifice his own elves.

Therefore, most civilian summoners don’t have to worry as much as they did during that period.

And Lido believes that there are more reasons why the elven sacrifice ritual is banned.

If the main reason was that the source of the sacrificed elves changed from mainly wild elves to mainly elves under summoner contracts, which caused serious consequences, then there was another reason that may have accelerated the decision of the human leaders at the time to completely ban the use of elf sacrifice rituals.

We previously analyzed this from the perspective of the sacrificed Pokémon. Wild Pokémon are hard to find and they certainly won’t volunteer to be sacrificed.

So, as the beneficiaries of the sacrificial ceremony and the advanced main elves, how do they feel?

If they advance to a higher level by stepping on the corpses of their own kind, will they be happy about the improvement of their own qualifications? Won't they feel sympathy for their own kind?

I'm afraid it's both. Elves are also intelligent creatures, so they naturally have all kinds of emotions, and their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are no different from those of humans.

You should know that the elves can turn against the summoner. This depends on the depth of the contractual bond between the elves and the summoner. The depth of the relationship between the elves and the summoner is the best measure of the depth of the contractual bond.

We already know that if an elf uses psychic stones to upgrade too frequently, it may cause the elf's mental level to decrease, its temper to become irritable, its qualifications to decline, and it may even backfire on the summoner.

This is because when the elf absorbed the energy from the psychic stone, its energy circuit was impacted by the energy vortex and could not be restored in time, and the elf's mental power was contaminated by black air impurities and could not be discharged from the body in time.

The most direct manifestation of all this is that the contractual bond between the summoner and the elf has become weaker. When the contractual bond between the two is weakened to a certain extent, the elf may break free from the contract and attack the summoner.

However, the weakening of the contractual bond in this case is actually passive, and needs to accumulate to a certain level before reaching the stage of elf backlash. In the meantime, as long as the summoner can deepen the contractual connection between the elf and the elf, there is still a lot of room for recovery.

But for elves that have advanced through the Elf Sacrifice Ceremony, if the contractual bond with the summoner becomes weaker, it must be the elves who took the initiative!

This shows that the elves are dissatisfied with the fact that their own kind are used as resources for advancement, and they have developed resistance to the summoner.

This was definitely a choice made by the elf according to his true inner thoughts! Once the choice was made, the contractual bond would fade very quickly, and it would be extremely difficult to recover.

Of course, different elves will have different ideas about the same thing, so it cannot be generalized.

Some elves may be more concerned about their own improvement, and may feel uncomfortable about their fellow elves being sacrificed at the time, but will not take it to heart afterwards, and thus continue to be in peace with the summoner.

Some elves may fall into self-blame and guilt for the death of their own kind, and will not blame the summoner for letting them bear the life of their own kind, but it will be difficult to deepen the bond in the future.

Some elves may be happy about their own improvement on the one hand, but sad about the death of their kind on the other hand. As a result, they are wavering inside and develop a sense of alienation and distrust towards the summoner, and it is inevitable that the contractual bond will become weaker.

Some elves are disgusted by the idea of ​​using the lives of their own kind in exchange for their own advancement, and they are extremely dissatisfied with the summoner and even hate him. In more serious cases, it may even escalate to the point of murderous intent towards all human beings!

In this case, the possibility of the elf turning against the summoner is not 100%, but it is 90%!

Especially if this elf advances into a purple elf or a golden elf, it will definitely bring a disaster to mankind!

If the mental level of this elf is still high, it might be able to deal a fatal blow to humans!

Liduo believed that the elves must have backfired a lot in those days. Otherwise, the human leaders could have just banned the use of contracted elves to hold elf sacrifice ceremonies instead of implementing a complete ban.

From this, it can be seen that the elf sacrifice ceremony is not without risks. Of course, as long as the benefits far outweigh the risks, there will always be people who take risks out of desperation.

According to Lido, most of the elves who are performing elf sacrifice ceremonies privately nowadays are probably green elves advancing to blue elves, because the success rate is higher.

But the only thing that the Elf Temple and the Imperial officials can really turn a blind eye to is probably the advancement of blue elves to purple elves.

Because only by advancing to this stage can people ignore the risks and take the risk of the world's disapproval. There is no other reason, the benefits are just too great!

As for the purple elves advancing to golden elves? In the modern era when wild elves don't appear, it is impossible to gather all the purple elves that need to be sacrificed for advancement!

Even if we were to assassinate other master summoners, we wouldn't be able to complete the task! Because we would have to assassinate at least two master summoners!

One for two or one for three is not worth it! If another elf attacks, there will be no way to clean up the mess!

What's more, the top circle is so small, how can there be no movement at all?! As if everyone else is dead?! As if the Elf Temple and the Empire do not exist?!

In addition, I don't know if Lido is overthinking it, but according to the book, since the elf sacrifice ceremony was invented, especially after large-scale use, the scale of monster invasions has become larger and larger! The number of high-level monsters is also on the rise!

Even after the elven sacrifice ritual was banned, this trend was only eased a little, but the overall trend has not changed much and has continued to this day.

Is there any connection between the two? Li Duo had another unsolved mystery in her mind.
