105. Preparation for land reclamation

 According to the list provided by Lulutis, Sigrid found the elves in the sanctuary.

Moore, who finally waited until Lu Yu made the request, concluded with just one glance that Lu Yu's list was specifically designed to deal with hallucinations.

"Write down the list and immediately find the materials they want."

Old Moore's attitude towards the Silent Mountains is not as disgusting as most people think.

Through the curse on his child, he saw magic that was beyond his comprehension.

If it weren't for the fact that the entire army led by crystal-level warriors was annihilated the previous two times, he would have wanted to inform the Elf King and send a small team to go deeper.

Some people in the Elf Sanctuary, as well as the Elf elders, feel that the Silent Mountains contain hidden secrets that ordinary people cannot imagine, and that as long as they obtain them, they can spy on the secrets of high-level magic.

They will note down all Lu Yu's preparations for entering the Silent Mountains, and then send out men at the right time to get the answer they desperately seek.

Lu Yu had already had a premonition that the Silent Mountains were not simple, and he also smelled something strange from the diligence of the Sanctuary elves.

It's understandable that a sixth-level magician would be groveling to a child, but it's unusual for a group of sanctuary elves to behave in the same way.

After looking through the files of the Silent Mountains, he also guessed what these elves wanted to do.

Although he had already made an agreement with the Elf King, he would only take Sigrid and the others with him when he entered, and would not need the elf manpower.

But what if the elves formed their own team, did not follow them, and explored the Silent Mountains alone?

After all, the Silent Mountains are in Thoresen's territory, and Lu Yu can't stop their actions.

However, Lu Yu did not add any information to Lulutis' potion list this time. He honestly gave these elves the correct list.

Because he was very sure that things in the Silent Mountains were far from being as simple as they seemed on the surface.

Through information sorting, Lu Yu discovered that the communications between the first team and the second team before they were completely wiped out all reached the "light".

The first team said they saw a brilliant stream of light.

The second team was exposed to a dazzling purple light before being attacked, and their eyes had an obvious burning sensation.

Considering that this group of people could still fight normally after that, it can be determined that they were not blinded, but suffered eye discomfort after being exposed to strong light.

Sigrid listened to the discussion between Lulutis and Lu Yu and wrote down an issue worth noting.

"What's giving off the bright light?"

Then came the "giant thing" that both teams had mentioned.

The first team said they saw a dark purple giant reflecting each of them.

This description is very strange. Lulutis is also well-read. The dark purple giant may be born from the mine veins that are dark purple in color, but it can reflect the appearance of people... Could it be that this giant is a mirror?

The giant thing that the second team faced was not described in detail, except that the giant thing moved in incredible ways.

The third problem is magic.

The Silent Mountains got their name because of the scarcity of magic power in this place. The closer to the center of the mountains, the stronger the sense of oppression felt by magicians who are proficient in magic.

However, both teams actually said that they were attacked with magic by their opponents, and that there was magic everywhere.

After writing the third question, Sigrid had already written the last question in advance, raised her head, and looked at Lulutis.

"Is there really magic in this world that can resurrect the dead?"

Lulutis clicked her tongue: "If there is really magic that can resurrect the dead, then the way for high-level magicians to avoid death now will not be to study how to replace a 'new body'."

"Resurrection of the dead, this kind of magic has never appeared before. Even in the imagination, it is a tenth-level magic."

"Huo Gu also said before that there are still levels after the tenth level, so I doubt whether the power of resurrecting the dead can be mastered by a magician."

Lu Yu touched his chin and muttered: "Perhaps what they saw at the last moment was not the dead, but an illusion?"

"I don't rule out that something can manipulate the dead body, but I have some doubts that the body can be kept in that place for hundreds of years without decaying." Lulutis did not deny Lu Yu's guess.

When it comes to magic, Lulutis is always full of energy.

It was said that she was in the same boat as Lu Yu along the way, but most of the time she just played the role of an encyclopedia.

If something goes wrong, it depends on Lu Yu's performance.

In actual combat, Sigrid can fight better than her.

His biggest role at the moment seems to be to act as a super strong shield to ensure Lu Yu's safety.

A seventh-level magician eats and sleeps every day, takes a nap on the shoulders of his companions when he has nothing to do, and plays Landlords with his companions when he has nothing to do...

Therefore, Lulutis was always very active when she could help Lu Yu.

"We have the fog demon to help us this time, so we should be able to bring more medicine in." Lu Yu began to discuss war preparations.

As soon as Aesop saw this posture, he smiled and left, saying that he would come back after dinner.

Before leaving, Aesop also took away the two administrators who were still classifying the books.

Seeing Aesop clearing the place, Sigrid began to speak freely.

"It doesn't cost us any money anyway. Let's ask them for more materials that are difficult to collect and make some better potions. Even if they are not used in the Silent Mountains, we can continue to use them in the future."

After traveling for a long time, Sigrid has lost the cuteness she had in Asna and is now a shrewd little housekeeper.

"I agree. Lulutis, please choose a few potions with strong general use and submit a list, add more ingredients, and let the sanctuary elves help us with the work."

The mist demon, who had been transforming back and forth between the book and the orange during the conversation, rarely interrupted.

"Lulu, you can also take the opportunity to try to refine my transformation potion!"

As she spoke, the mist demon turned into another Lulutis, dangling in front of her, its imitated tentacles swaying back and forth, making people dizzy.

Since traveling with Lu Yu, the mist demon has been suffering, but this is not because Lu Yu's team treated her badly, but because of the food.

She used to live with Huo Gu, and absorbing magic by herself was considered to improve her life. As a life made of condensed magic, she would not feel hungry as long as she had magic.

Huogu's eating made the onlookers have no appetite at all, so she had no idea about delicious food.

It is said that I have never seen the light, so I could have endured the darkness.

Along the way, Lu Yu tried his best to prepare delicious food for Sigrid and Lulutis, but she could only watch...

"You can practice anything. As long as I have the materials, I will help you. Wait, I will write a list."

Lulutis also felt that if the wool was not shaved off, they would have to get some commission to deal with the big problem of the Silent Mountains.

Seeing the sanctuary elves taking over Lulutis' list as if they had found a treasure, Lu Yu sincerely hoped that they would do more mental exercises and try to figure out what they were doing through permutations and combinations.

Finding the administrator squatting outside the door reading a book, Lu Yu asked, "Is there any record about the mutilated elves in the Silent Mountains?"

The administrator searched for a long time and asked many people before finding several miscellaneous notes that recorded what these elves had seen and heard near the Silent Mountains.

There wasn't much useful information, but Lu Yu still found some things worth noting.

The reason why these elves went to the Silent Mountains was not because it was a geomantic treasure, and they went there voluntarily.

It was because Duke Mel and several surrounding knights drove all the disabled elves in the territory there.

Externally, they were told to stay away from harassment and to open up wasteland in exchange for the respect of their tribesmen.

In fact, it is exile.

Over time, it became a consensus to throw disabled elves into the Silent Mountains.

The environment in the Silent Mountains is extremely harsh for elves. The basic entertainment for monsters here is hunting, and they have excellent appetites and are not picky eaters, so the elves' small bodies are also on their diet.

Since their birth, very few disabled elves have been able to systematically learn magic and self-defense. If they were accidentally exiled to such a barbaric place, it would be the mercy of the gods to die a painless death.

In order to survive, these elves unite together.

Regardless of their origin, regardless of their age, they help each other and huddle in a few caves to survive.

According to subsequent records, none of the elves who were exiled to the Silent Mountains in the early days survived.

On the contrary, it was a good time for the elves who were subsequently exiled to catch up with the Elf King's ascension to the throne and turn the trend around.

They were able to settle outside the Silent Mountains, and were allowed by the Elf King to set up a mercenary union to recruit outstanding people to help with defense.

The reason why Lu Yu did not send troops, Lu Yu asked Aesop, was because it was Duke Mel's territory, and it was not convenient for the Elf King to intervene directly, so he could only help them in this way.

During the time when the monsters from the Silent Mountains were attacking surrounding towns, the Elf King also took the opportunity to allocate Duke Mel's territory, whose influence had declined, to this group of disabled elves, giving them a new place to live.

Seeing that Lu Yu had been reading the information about disabled elves for a long time, Lulutis wondered: "What do you think these are? The problem in the Silent Mountains must be related to Sayer, right?"

Lu Yu closed the tome filled with blood and tears. His mood had not yet calmed down. When he heard Lulutis say this, he nodded blankly and said subconsciously.

"It's just intuition, it's okay."

The genius who transcended his time, Thayer Lucamia, was a human, not an elf.

Seven hundred years before the vision appeared in the Silent Mountains, Sayer was just born, so this should have nothing to do with him.

But more than a hundred years ago, the curse inside the monster in the Silent Mountains that could pollute the ability to speak was indeed Sayer's handiwork.

Sayer had been dead for almost five hundred years at this time.

The time didn't match up twice, which made Lu Yu quite confused.

If Sayer really came to the Silent Mountains, why did he come, and what exactly did he do in the Silent Mountains to make this land gradually become vicious.

Too many puzzles lingered in Lu Yu's mind, and all the answers were hidden in this place that made Thoreson feel uneasy.

In the next few days, Lu Yu and his party, who concentrated on preparing for the trip to the Silent Mountains, almost never left their residence.

Sigrid held the book and continued to read, hoping to find some clues.

After getting the materials, Lulutis kept tinkering with the potion in the room. Because she now has the third level of strength, the potion she refined is more stable than before and there will not be a lot of waste.

As for Lu Yu, he is constantly improving his action plan after entering the Silent Mountains.

Unlike when he fought against goblins in Yas, this time he had no idea who his enemy was.

A crystal-level warrior, comparable to a sixth-level magician, entered the Silent Mountains just to deliver food. This operation was extremely dangerous.

But... they have to go.

The seal of Lulutis and the secrets left by the ninth-level magician who transcended the times attracted Lu Yu and his party to explore.

The Silent Mountains will not invalidate the summons, but as it goes deeper and the suppression effect increases, Lu Yu will be unable to recover his magic power.

Once the summoned object is destroyed during this process and the price needs to be paid in advance, something big may happen to Lu Yu who is short of magic power in his body.

Therefore, Lu Yu selected one from the list of summons to test the world's consciousness, and decided to bring a crystal that could store more magic power than the magic core in case of emergency.

During this period, Lu Yu learned through Aesop that the elves in the sanctuary gathered together almost every day to study Lulutis's refining list.

If Lu Yu hadn't lived close to the palace, they would have even wanted to take a peek at the process of refining the medicine.

Good research, study hard!

There are so many materials, after they are arranged and combined, it is likely that your sanctuary elf was warned by that group of highly respected high-level magicians.

Every day, Lulutis' discarded medicine residue and failed medicines would be burned by the mist demon and Sigrid in the courtyard with phosphorus powder specially used to destroy corpses and traces. They would even add a little "material" before burning. Even if they were burned by this

A group of Sanctuary elves were picking up rubbish and could only vaguely make out scattered parts.

Seeing more and more potions being successfully refined in the room, Lu Yu actually felt a sense of joy about a good harvest.

Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Yu went to the palace and saw the Elf King who had just finished handling government affairs and looked tired.

The Elf King looked apologetic when he saw Lu Yu's visit.

"Sorry, I've been away for too long and have a lot of things to deal with, so I couldn't accompany you in person."

Lu Yu didn't think there was anything wrong, but told the Elf King that his preparations were basically completed, and as long as the potion refining was completed, he could set off.

Upon hearing the news, the Elf King stood up excitedly and paced excitedly, but then he looked embarrassed.

After hesitating for a while, the Elf King said: "Sir Lu Yu, please forgive me. You told me before that you don't want anyone to accompany you into the Silent Mountains. I may not be able to continue to guarantee it."

"The Sanctuary has organized its own people and found many mercenaries to conduct a third exploration. Their exploration has been approved by the elders of the Sanctuary. Even if I am the king, I can't stop them this time.

Action, after all, the Silent Mountains are there..."

"The only thing I can promise is that you won't let them follow you or pester you."

Lu Yu smiled and took a sip of tea and thanked the Elf King for his kindness.

When he walked out of the palace, the corners of his mouth raised.

Looking back at the palace, he murmured: "You can stop them from following me, but you can't stop them from exploring... You don't just want them to die, do you?"
