After following Sera for a long time, Lu Yu came to a tavern.
After declining the attentive service of the tavern waiter, Sierra went straight to the point: "There should be a person named Anna living here. Please tell her that Sierra is here."
The lizard waiter thought for a while, then slapped his forehead: "Is the missionary right?"
After seeing Sera nodding, the lizard man quickly shouted: "Big Head, the person the missionary is waiting for is here."
Looking along the lizard man's line of sight, Lu Yu showed a surprised expression.
"What a big fish head!" The fog demon was the first to exclaim.
It's really big. At least one-third of the body of the fish-man waiter in front of me is a head, and the huge fish head is close to the size of a basketball board.
Lu Yu was already prepared to be slapped in the face by the smell of fish, but this fat-headed fish didn't have that fishy smell. The scales were not wet and sticky, but very dry.
Because of his huge head and fat-headed fish eyes, which are very far apart, he looks very naive... Of course, his performance is also very naive.
"Rabbit ears, big breasts, more beautiful than Miss Anna...are you my divine choice?"
Based on the conversation, Lu Yu guessed that Anna was afraid that the fat-headed fish would not be able to remember Sera, so he found out Sera's most obvious features and reminded them repeatedly.
Sera's focus is obviously different from Lu Yu's.
"Your divine choice, have you joined the Glorious Cult?"
"Miss Anna said that as long as I believe in the God of Glory, I won't live in such pain, so I believed it... They all said that I was a fool. I was deceived by strange people into believing in a strange religion, and now I am a heretic...
But Miss Anna is very nice to me, and I don’t think she lied to me.”
Lu Yu silently bought a few glasses of wine with the money he had just robbed. A few people were sitting at the bar, not ordering anything, and even occupying a waiter. This was a bit embarrassing no matter how you say it.
Sure enough, after buying the wine, the tavern owner who had been staring at this place from a distance turned around and no longer paid attention to this side.
"Where's Anna?" Sierra asked.
Fathead Fish said: "About four days ago, Miss Anna went out and did not return to the tavern after that."
"Didn't come back?"
"No... today is the last day. If the fee is not renewed, Miss Anna's things will be cleared out. I just paid for Miss Anna's room. Can Master Chosen pay me back? Otherwise, I won't have money to eat at night.
"
“…”
Sera asked Sigrid, who had just taken over the finances, to pay, and she followed the fat-headed fish's guidance to Anna's room.
As a missionary of the Theocracy, Anna didn't bring much with her when traveling, just a few pieces of clothing, some equivalent items that could be exchanged in most places, and equipment for self-defense.
The room provided by the tavern is not big, and it can be seen that Anna and Isco sleep in the same room, Anna sleeps on the bed, and Isco sleeps on the floor.
It's strange that Sierra couldn't find any information that Anna left for her.
Anna already knew that she was coming to Collet to take over the remaining tasks. Even if she was eager to find the missing Isco, there was no need to rush. After all, she had already agreed with herself on a time in advance.
When the missionaries of the Theocracy learn that the Chosen One is coming in person, they will definitely wait at the appointed place in advance. As a former nun with great faith, Anna should not give up her own.
Even if you want a pigeon, you should leave some messages so that you know why she left temporarily.
Sierra found Fathead Fish again and asked Anna what she said when she left.
The fat-headed fish rolled his eyes blankly, and after a while he recalled: "Miss Anna seemed to be very anxious that day. She even knocked me down when she was leaving the tavern, and she didn't even have time to apologize..."
Sierra thought for a while and turned her head.
Sigrid was telling the mist demon about the taste of wine. As soon as she drank a glass of wine, she heard Sera's voice.
"Pay and we'll stay here too."
Lu Yu asked curiously: "It seems that the two people you are looking for have disappeared. Are you sure we shouldn't be looking for them?"
Sera suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people in the tavern peeking at her. She replied to Lu Yu nonchalantly: "Wait for two days before making a decision. If you don't come back for four days, it won't mean anything. If you explore the islands around Boyn City, you will often get one or two."
The sky has passed."
Sierra didn't say any more and urged the fat-headed fish to quickly arrange a room for herself.
Due to lack of rooms, Lu Yu only found two rooms, but this was not a big problem. He, Sigrid, and the Mist Demon shared one room, and Sera could have one by herself.
As soon as she threw her backpack on the bed and wanted to lie down comfortably and rest for a while, Sera directly opened the door to Lu Yu's room.
Not caring about the small size of the room, Sierra put the box behind the door, picked a spot next to Lu Yu's bed and sat down.
What Serra did made Lu Yu, who was lying on the bed like a big boy, feel embarrassed and had to sit up.
"Didn't you say you would take a short break?"
"I told you before departure that this trip might be dangerous. This is no joke. After careful consideration, I decided to explain to you exactly what I am going to do in Kolai, so that you can also be aware of what may be coming.
Be mentally prepared."
In the past, Sera always spoke very casually, and everyone was inexplicably relaxed when chatting with them. However, at this moment, Sera looked serious and her tone was very serious.
Lu Yu also put away the laziness on his face, and Sigrid put aside the broth she had just bought and drank two gulps, wiped her mouth, and sat obediently on the floor with the mist demon, looking up at the two of them.
Boss.
"You have been with Lulu for so long, and you should have heard Lulu say a lot of things. So, have you ever heard of the resurrection of the dead?"
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand: "Stop making trouble, isn't this something completely impossible?"
Are you kidding? Lulu made it very clear that magic at this stage cannot resurrect the dead. It is even difficult for magicians to extend their lifespan and continue it in another form after death.
The several ways for magicians to extend their lifespan that Lu Yu knew so far were all about being ruthless, either being ruthless to themselves or being ruthless to others. No matter the former or the latter, it is difficult to compare with human nature.
Currently, magic schools believe that the resurrection of the dead should be divided into two types.
One is that after death, the soul leaves the body, finds a new body, and continues to live.
The second is to come back to life completely on the original body. You don't even need to replace the body. You only need to keep the complete body.
The basis of this is that the soul can leave the body.
According to the common speculation of magicians, as long as the surrounding magic power is strong enough, the soul can survive without the body, but the average magic power concentration in most places in the world today is obviously not enough to produce such a miracle.
The magician once saw some white mist standing on dead humans near the Slime Elemental Lake, which is highly enriched in elemental magic. As the Slime King seals the elemental lake, these mist will quickly dissipate, even if
If you go to investigate, you can only feel some residual magic power, nothing else. Gu Ai
Based on these witness reports and the research conclusions of major magicians, Lulu is basically certain that the arrival of the next era will once again bring about earth-shaking changes to the magic system.
This change is far greater than before!
In other words, whether it is the first or the second type of resurrection of the dead, the premise must be that the concentration of magic power in this world continues to increase.
Sierra said: "You're basically right. I can see that you listened to Lulu's class attentively. I'm very pleased."
"What kind of teacher's tone is this..."
"Okay, let's continue talking about the resurrection of the dead." Serra said, "As you said, this is a phenomenon that is impossible to achieve at this stage. It can be called a miracle at this stage. But if I tell you,
Someone witnessed Sayer Lukamiya in the Kolai area, do you believe it?"
Looking at the dumbfounded Lu Yu, Sera was very satisfied: "It seems you don't need me to tell you who Sayer is. Lulu told you."
"Isn't Sayer dead almost six hundred years ago? Did he make a mistake?"
If Sayer is still alive, how to explain the message he left in Vanessa's cabin?
Vanessa was undoubtedly caught in some kind of dangerous situation from which she could not escape. Sayer probably had an accident while rescuing Vanessa, and both of them died. This is how Lu Yu and Lu died in Vanessa's cabin.
Lu's conclusion.
If they were out of trouble, how could Vanessa not go home and finish the books she hadn't finished, knowing that was her dream.
"I also hope there is a mistake, but the description in Anna's letter is very detailed." Sierra opened the box, took out a letter and handed it to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu accepted the letter hesitantly and only skimmed a few lines. A chill went up his spine, and it seemed like there were countless furry tentacles crawling up his arms and thighs.
After Anna and Isco came to Collet, they preached and collected various local information.
After learning that there are many islands near the city of Boyne, and that there are shipping lines between the islands, and they are also crowded places, the two rented a boat and set foot on the sea.
Although the missionary mission encountered obstacles everywhere, the journey was considered smooth. However, on the day of returning to the city of Beaune, something unexpected happened.
Anna, who set off during the day, encountered heavy fog soon after leaving the island. The milky white fog was extremely dense, like a thick gauze, covering Anna and Isko.
Anna and Isko, who had been sailing at sea for an unknown amount of time and still couldn't find land, finally waited until the fog cleared.
It was at this time that they suddenly discovered that there was a piece of land not far away.
Seeing that night was coming, the two parked the boat and went ashore, thinking of waiting until dawn the next day before setting off.
Anna originally thought this was one of the many uninhabited islands in Kole, but while exploring around the island, she saw the outline of a towering castle at night.
Considering that the island might have an owner, Anna and Isko quickly returned to the place where they landed, trying to contact the owner of the island in a more cautious manner.
However, they never dreamed that on the way to the shore, they actually saw Sayer Lucamia, whom they had only seen in books. Not only that, he also saw a beautiful girl beside Sayer.
The woman gently held Sayer's arm and rested her head on Sayer's shoulder, looking very intimate.
Anna was originally a magician, so she recognized Sayer at a glance. Because she was so shocked, she even released a ball of light suspended above her head to illuminate Sayer in the darkness.
Although Sayer's face was pale and his eyes were a little dull, his appearance was exactly the same as the statues and portraits in Anna's impression.
Anna, who was in shock, quickly asked the other party if it was Sayer, but the other party did not respond and still looked at Anna with a dull look.
Without warning, the woman next to Sayer launched an attack on Anna.
As the Halo Knight chosen by Anna, Isko reacted quickly and tried his best to block this extremely sudden blow and was seriously injured.
When Isko was about to lose his ability to fight, he pushed Anna onto the boat and pushed the boat into the sea with all his strength.
At the same time, Anna entered the heavy fog again and lost her direction. It was not until dawn that she was found and rescued by fishermen who came out to fish from surrounding islands.
Anna asked the surrounding fishermen, but every fisherman said that no one on the islands near Boyne City had built such a magnificent castle.
No one knows the man and woman Anna described.
"Isn't it creepy? On the island of Kolai, the legendary ninth-level magician Sayer Lucamia actually appeared. And Sayer is believed to have been dead for nearly six hundred years."
It was indeed creepy, but it had nothing to do with Sayer.
What Lu Yu cared about was completely different from Sera. He swallowed and silently recited Anna's description when he saw a man and a woman over and over again.
Although Anna did not fully describe the woman's appearance, the few details quickly reminded Lu Yu of the portrait of Vanessa obtained in Thoresen.
Lu Yu handed the letter to Sigrid.
Sigrid trembled all over after reading it, her mouth was open, but she couldn't say a word.
Lu Yu pulled out the carefully kept portrait of Vanessa from his backpack and unfolded it gently.
"A very delicate female elf... Lu Yu, why did you bring this out all of a sudden? Is this your secret crush?"
It turns out that Lu Yu has someone he likes, that’s great!
Sierra was overjoyed and her voice rose unnaturally.
"I suggest you compare the portrait with the description in the letter."
Sera looked at the letter and then at the portrait. The smile on her face faded little by little, and her expression became more and more solemn.
A depressing atmosphere spread in the room, and the sound of rapid breathing dominated the small space.
"Who is this..."
Serra, as the chosen one, has seen a lot of big and small things, but she has never seen something so weird.
Anna's letter is only his own. David has read it, and Lu Yu has just seen it, but the portrait in Lu Yu's hand basically matches Anna's description...
Lu Yu felt like he was in an ice cellar, with chills all over his body: "Vanessa... The communication circle was damaged before. Lulu and I didn't have time to tell you that we found a small house where Sayer and Vanessa live.
place, they are lovers."
"According to the news we got in the hut, both Vanessa and Sayer died nearly six hundred years ago..."
The midsummer wind blew in through the window, but the temperature suddenly dropped several points, making everyone in the room shiver.
