Chapter 65: 73 Night Owl, what are you doing?

"What did you say? Hero summoning!"

Night Owl's scream exploded in his ears, and Nova felt a pain like his eardrums were tearing.

Ivan and Gal on the side also looked like they had been hit by a sonic attack.

Nova could understand Night Owl's mood to some extent; in fact, he was about the same.

After the group arrived at Covenant City, they found that the entire city was under martial law.

Then they were informed of the true purpose of this trip by the personnel responsible for guiding them.

They were even arranged a position to assist in defense while being able to see the summoning ceremony from afar.

This is hero summoning!

Which adventurer hadn't heard the story of the hero Link, who, more than three hundred years ago when humanity was in danger, relied on his own strength to beat back the demons and even killed the Demon King in the end?

Now they actually had the honor to see the birth of a legend, and even participate in it!

Although it was only a negligible participation.

In this city, most of the diamond-rank powerhouses of the kingdom were gathered now, not to mention two existences standing at the peak.

The Silver Thorn squad wasn't that prominent among them...

On the day of the ceremony, the gray-white stone floor of Triumph Square was polished bright by the morning light.

In the central area surrounded by four hero statues, the summoning array cast from various precious materials was glowing with faint blue light.

The Archbishop of Light stood on the east side of the array holding a three-sided scepter, and half a step behind him was the Vice President of the Relic Association wearing a gray robe.

Both were among the strongest humans at level 70.

And around the array were twelve priests holding copper bells.

In the second-layer circular array, more than a hundred priests gathered from all over the place knelt on gold-woven cushions. They spread out parchment scriptures on their knees, responsible for praying during the ceremony.

Outside the square, the heavy armor of the White Silver Knights formed a dazzling metal fence in the sun.

The knight order emblems on the surface of the standard kite shields were all facing outward uniformly.

In contrast were those diamond-rank adventurers scattered in the shadows of the stone pillars, gathered in twos and threes—some leaning against the statue base with long swords wrapped in cloth, some repeatedly tossing daggers.

The peripheral vision of the duty knights was always locked on these non-establishment combat forces.

No way, the vast majority of adventurers were not official people, although they participated in the guard, they were also half-watched objects.

Gal looked at this formation and suddenly became afraid.

"You guys say... getting so many experts here, it wouldn't just be to let everyone observe the hero summoning, right?"

"It must be to prevent the demons from making trouble!" Ivan glanced at him, "You didn't just react to it, did you?"

"Then if the demons come..."

Before Gal finished, Ivan interrupted him: "You idiot, didn't you see Duke Amara didn't come? The border must have strengthened its power now, and only a few elites can come."

"Oh, that's right."

Gal scratched his head; he wasn't afraid of a few elites, no matter how he looked at it, the big shots were in front, and they just had to be atmosphere groups.

"But I still don't quite understand,"

Ivan rubbed his chin and wondered:

"Why gather so many adventurers? Although it increases combat power, it also makes it easier for enemies to mix in.

Not to mention choosing a place like the square, it's big enough, but it's very unsafe, right?

If it were me, I would definitely arrange it in the basement..."

"Maybe there's another deep meaning? Vampires might be weakened a bit under the sun, or hero summoning must be in such an occasion?" Gal analyzed messily.

"Maybe, Gal, squat down."

Gal looked at Ivan doubtfully and squatted down.

Ivan jumped onto his shoulder.

"Alright, you can stand up."

No one was allowed to use flying magic here now, Ivan borrowed the half-dragon's height, his vision passed through the human wall and looked at the summoning array in the center.

"Strange..."

"What's wrong?" Even Nova couldn't help but ask this time.

"I haven't seen a hero summoning array; this thing is the church's top secret.

But this array feels so familiar to me... where have I seen it?"

"Aren't arrays all one circle inside another circle? Isn't it normal for them to look alike?" Gal expressed that he didn't understand what was strange at all.

Ivan stepped on him directly: "Shut up, you idiot."

However, before Ivan could continue to think, the sun had already risen to the highest position.

The Archbishop looked at the sky, waved the scepter in his hand, and the summoning ceremony officially began.

The array glowed with purple-red light in the noon sun, and twelve priests holding copper bells began to walk slowly along the rune trajectory.

From the moment the first copper bell rang, the priests chanted the summoning prayer:

Ixion of the Eternal Burning Wheel

The wielder of the Purifying Flame

The watcher hanging above the chaos tide

Please cast down the wedge of judgment

Grant the vessel carrying divine punishment

Let the hero's sword edge become the extension of your will

Make the silver holy light become the forging hammer of your world purification

The light halo of the summoning array became brighter and brighter, as if something was about to break through the shackles.

Everyone was gazing at this spectacular summoning scene, except for Night Owl.

Nova noticed Night Owl's anomaly and asked: "What are you looking at?"

Night Owl didn't answer while fully focused.

Nova followed Night Owl's gaze and saw a knight squad leader located in the peripheral defense circle.

"What's strange about him?"

Nova's question didn't get an answer.

The next moment, Night Owl actually merged into the shadows, shuttling through the shadows of everyone, rushing straight towards that knight leader.

The remaining three people were shocked: "Night Owl? Terrible!"

[Assimilation Absorption LV3]

In the mushroom forest, countless mycelium were attracted and wrapped around the Puji that had just been officially named Scout.

Its height was forcibly raised from the original 80cm to 2M, becoming a giant Puji.

But this was just bluffing; the mycelium wrapped on the outer layer was actually a hollow structure, very fluffy.

Dylan on the side tried to poke it, his finger sank in, exposing the soft essence, and when he pulled it out, he also stuck a finger of mycelium.

Just like wearing thick cotton clothes, this appearance was not conducive to fighting.

This was intentional on Lin Jun's part; its only use was to serve as a soft cushion so the scout wouldn't be smashed to death when it appeared in mid-air.

Today is the day of departure.

Dylan couldn't wait.

Not only because he hoped to find his daughter early.

Since having [Magic Storage LV6], the look Xiao Hei looked over with made Dylan a little scared.

It was a look full of love and curiosity...

Dylan instinctively didn't want to explore the reason behind this look.

Fortunately, he could leave today.

"Scout Puji go out first, Dylan you go to meet outside in a while."

Two tentacles stretched out from the fluffy mycelium coat, rolling up the escape scroll.

As magic power poured in, the Scout Puji glowed with teleportation light...
