Spirit summons? I want to do it myself!

Lido brought the things she bought home and was welcomed by the whole family. Although Leisa complained that Lido spent money too quickly, after all, she did not spend it recklessly and the things were all needed for the family, so she did not say much.

Shi Ze carried the fine steel broadsword that Lido bought and went out to show off to his friends. Leisa flipped through the cloth and cotton that Lido bought, thinking about how to cut them. Doli looked at the meat and thought about how much he would eat in the evening, and his mouth was watering. Lido couldn't wait to try out the new long sword, so after eating the food Leisa specially left for her, she ran straight to the woods behind the house.

During dinner, Liduo told the family about her experiences in the town, and the family listened with great interest. Liduo's family hadn't produced an elf summoner for several generations, and had long since faded out of this circle. On weekdays, they mostly heard gossip about family matters, and now they felt very fresh when they heard these.

"Mom and Dad, Doli will soon be five years old. I will teach him how to read after he turns five, and then let him do some basic training with me. I am almost nine years old, and I have to lay a foundation for Doli before I go to Qingyan City to attend the Junior Magic Academy."

Leisa and Ishizawa were very happy. Their eldest daughter's achievements in the past two years were amazing. This time, she showed her fighting ability to the fullest. Now that their daughter said she wanted to train her son, it meant that this method could be passed down. Even if Duoli's effect after learning it was not as good as Liduo's, it was still rare. In particular, their daughter's tone of understanding of the awakening summoning array gave them great ambitions. Maybe we can also have a surname in the future and establish a family of inherited summoners!

Leisa and Ishizawa now believed in Liduo unconditionally and immediately agreed to Liduo's suggestion. He was just a child, he didn't have a complete childhood, and life was too hard and tiring. These were things that only the rich men in the city would consider. For the villagers who made a living from the land, strength was the best way to climb up.

Doli didn't know that just now, the relaxing time had left him and would never come back. Now, he was eating the meat he had been looking forward to for an afternoon, with a satisfied smile on his face, like a real sweetie.

The next morning, every household in the village received a notice that a mourning meeting would be held in the square tonight, and each household had to send at least two people to attend. In fact, it was not only to commemorate the people who died in this monster invasion, but there would also be a summary meeting after the mourning, such as the pensions for the casualties and the commendations for the meritorious personnel, which would be announced at the summary meeting.

Every time a monster invades, it will cause more or less damage to the village, and sometimes there will be casualties. As the actual ruler of Huangshi Village, if the Huangshi clan does not make corresponding responses, the result of demoralization is that the village will gradually perish in the long monster invasion. But as mentioned above, the reputation of the Huangshi clan is quite good, so this summary meeting is also a routine.

Of course, not all monster invasions bring bad things. Taking this monster invasion as an example, Huangshi Village killed a total of 203 monsters, including a devil bat leader, 9 ordinary devil bats, 115 one-eyed monsters, and 78 giant fang monsters. In addition to the spoils killed by patrol members and villagers, 61 one-eyed monsters and 35 giant fang monsters died from mutual attacks and traps, accounting for almost half of all monsters. This half of the monsters are not involved in personal distribution and are considered the common assets of the patrol team. Even if some of the spoils are severely damaged, the total amount sold is close to 800 gold coins. In the magical continent where monsters frequently invade, monster materials inevitably become a part of the social and economic cycle.

As the most serious monster invasion in the past twenty years, the patrol's income and expenditure were actually unbalanced. 800 gold coins seemed like a lot, but after replenishing the patrol's damaged weapons and equipment and consumed potions in the battle, there was not much left, not enough to pay the pensions for the casualties, not to mention the bonuses, so they could only use their previous savings.

Although the patrol team can basically finish the battle quickly without much loss when a single species of monster invades with only dozens of one-eyed monsters or giant-toothed monsters, the gains are not much either. Add to that the patrol team's salaries and the maintenance of the training grounds, and the patrol team is often short of money on paper and still has to rely on the financial support of the Huangshi clan.

At night, the villagers came to the square. Although they were informed that each family only needed to send at least two people to participate, Liduo's family still went out. Everyone wore black clothes and tied a white cloth on their arms. A blazing fire had been lit in the square, and a small platform was built. Three coffins were neatly placed under the platform, and next to the coffins were crying relatives. On the other side of the square, there were three high piles of firewood.

Soon, everyone gathered in silence under the stage, and then the village chief and the patrol captain walked onto the stage. Without a host, the village chief began to speak in a deep voice.

''Dear villagers, we have just experienced a serious monster invasion. After everyone's active cooperation and hard work, we have achieved the final victory! Unfortunately, two old friends and a young man have left us forever! They are our relatives and friends! They are also our heroes!! Their spirit is always worth remembering!!! Although we have avenged them, our hatred for monsters will never change! Today is the day to say goodbye to them. Let us express our deep condolences to them!! One bow! Two bows! Three bows! Let us remember their voices, smiles and appearances firmly! Send them off in deep grief! They will also be watching us from the high sky and accompany us forever! ''

Everyone bowed deeply three times as the village chief said, and when everyone stood up, twelve patrol members came out and carried the three coffins to the three piles of firewood. Then the relatives were seen crying while pulling out burning sticks from the fire and stuffing them into the piles of firewood to light them.

Yes, in Baishi Town, cremation is practiced instead of burial, water burial or even sky burial. First, they are afraid that the body will become something ominous under unknown influences. There is a precedent for this, and cremation does not have this worry; second, people here believe that the black smoke rising up during cremation is the soul of the relatives, which will eventually reach the sky with the help of the breeze and become stars to protect their hometown and relatives. Therefore, mourning meetings are usually held on sunny nights.

Everyone watched all this in silence, and when the firewood pile was fully burned, they quietly returned to the stage, as a post-war review meeting was waiting for them.
