Although information will continue to be distorted during the dissemination process, and non-existent details will be added based on different people's imaginations, the speed at which rumors about Lu Yu spread since Zenil's birthday party is still staggering.
From the second day after the banquet, Lu Yu's performance related to the summons was deliberately ignored at the banquet. He emphasized that he could eat and loved to eat, and gradually evolved into doing whatever it took to get food.
Someone is causing trouble.
After thinking about it, Lu Yu asked Roye: "Someone in Solon is deliberately discrediting me?"
Roye smiled faintly and said a name that did not surprise Lu Yu - Tanya.
The Fedina family has some special information channels, and they happened to find that there are some people in Tanya's territory who are keen to go deep into the people and make friends with the caravan members. At the same time, they casually talked about Lu Yu's affairs, and they basically talked about it at the banquet.
It's just that the versions are different.
Eating the Kraken belongs to the first version. In subsequent version iterations, Lu Yu has begun to eat people. With these people quietly fueling the fire, Lu Yu's reputation in Solon is basically negative.
"Xiang Zhuang's intention in dancing the sword is Pei Gong. Are you using me to shake Sera's good reputation? You are indeed the heart of the green shade."
Seeing Lu Yu's indifferent expression, Royer asked curiously: "Did you and Princess Tanya have a holiday? Do you need my help to make things right?"
"No, she and I...can't make things right."
Sera's hatred for Tanya was very deep. She had told Lu Yu more than once that she thought Lulutis would grow up normally and dazzlingly, with her eyes full of love and affection.
It was Tanya who ruined Lulutis in her heart. If it weren't for the divine choice and Tanya's sensitive identity, Lu Yu had no doubt that Sera would plot against Tanya.
As night fell, Lu Yu and others avoided the people who were searching for the flying dragon along the way and came to another lake. They did not show up, but hid in the darkness and waited quietly.
There are traces of magic fluctuations all around from time to time, which are unwilling adventurers searching back and forth for traces of the flying dragon - they are sure that the injured flying dragon cannot fly for a long time.
As the night gets darker, the adventurers gradually look for a place to rest. The mountains are quiet, the moon is sparse, and the earth and vegetation covered with a layer of silver-white gauze are filled with a tranquil atmosphere in the night wind. The angry volcano ridge has been noisy for several days.
There was a rare silence.
The bright moon in the center of the lake cast a shadow, and a black figure broke the oil painting-like composition. He floated on the lake, and the wind magic rippled the water under his feet, causing the moon to shatter.
"Pointless hiding."
After the cold voice, a gleam of light penetrated the lake water and reached the bottom of the lake. The huge body of the red-scaled flying dragon stirred the lake water into churning and splashing, and the waves hit the black figure like a tide, but he remained indifferent.
The red-scale flying dragon's pale golden vertical pupils were burning with anger, while its body kept retreating until it rested on the shore.
She is afraid.
"Your child is still in my hands, you live, he dies." The shadow said, "You die, he lives... choose."
The ruthless words made the red-scale flying dragon lower its head little by little. As if she had made a decision, she suddenly raised her head, opened her mouth wide, and was about to let out a dragon roar that would attract countless hunters with her gluttonous mouth that could tear the giant beast apart.
A cold breath instantly reached the lake surface, and the sparkling lake water was divided into two.
When the black shadow raised its head again, Lu Yu and four others appeared one after another.
The red-scaled flying dragon shed tears sadly, as if grasping a life-saving straw, looking at the human being she hated most with pleading eyes.
"I'm curious about who you are. Maybe you need to introduce yourself?" Royer didn't ask in a pretentious aristocratic tone. He went straight to the point like the knife he was holding tightly.
As if in response to his directness, the black shadow took off his hood.
Withered skin, deep-set eye sockets, a high nose bridge, a pointed nose, long ears, and weak cicada wings, it resembles an elf, but is different from many elves Lu Yu saw during his journey.
Lu Yu thought of Thoresen, where Aesop was. The elves there could be divided into two categories based on human aesthetics. Aesop was a type that was very acceptable to humans, and the other category... Lu Yu's first thought was of monsters or spirits.
.
Roye frowned: "Forest spirit..."
"Is this the forest spirit?" Lu Yu asked Xialem who had just woken up next to him.
"Some of the forest elves look like this, and the more you see during your journey should have another look." Xia Leim knew what Lu Yu was thinking, and explained to him, "There are many factions of forest elves, and there are many factions among them.
There are many conflicts, and they rarely set foot in Solon's territory. They don't have much dealing with the common elves in the four major countries, and they even like to enslave and abuse them."
"Can you see his strength?" Lu Yu asked again.
"The magic power around him fluctuates very violently... If I'm not mistaken, his control over magic power is at level seven."
Lu Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at this forest elf that was completely incompatible with human aesthetics and could be said to be extremely ugly.
Royer shouted to the forest spirit: "Is this the commission you issued?"
"It's me." This ageless forest spirit readily admitted,
The forest spirit's smile was full of teasing.
"You use the flying dragon as bait to induce..."
Royer was interrupted by the forest spirit before he could speak.
"Inducement?" the forest spirit asked back, "Is there any problem with issuing a commission for one hundred gold coins... Dear Solon Six Pillars."
Royer was speechless.
"I issued the bounty in the form of a client. No matter where the adventurer association is, it depends on the money. They announced my request according to the process. Countless adventurers were willing to work for me. This process did not violate any of Solon's laws.
"Regulations." The forest elf continued, "Whether the adventurers later turned to their companions with swords to kill each other, or whether blood flowed into rivers, these people were too greedy, and I never said anything in the end, right?"
We are all smart people, and it is useless to talk too much. Lu Yu stepped forward and asked: "Now that we have broken through, your little trick can be over. Hand over what you used to threaten Fei Long and leave here."
The forest elf smiled, his wrinkled face squeezed together like tree bark: "Why should I obey your orders? You don't seem to notice that the surroundings... are very quiet."
There is no wind in the lake, and the surging magic power is churning.
"The identity of Liuzhu is your amulet, but if no one knows about it, this amulet will be invalid... Do you think so?" Mori Jing asked knowingly.
"There are four of us plus a dragon, can you kill us?"
"It's a little difficult, but you can try."
As soon as those words were spoken, the surrounding temperature dropped to freezing point.
Lu Yu was ready to summon him. He seemed to be the weakest among the group of people, so there was no guarantee that the forest spirit would not choose him as a breakthrough point.
Xialem and Roye guarded Lu Yu without leaving any trace, and were ready for battle.
When the battle was about to break out, the magic power on the forest elf suddenly dissipated, and the robes swollen by the wind returned to calm.
"Over two mountains, there is a large fruit forest. Your child is in the cave next to the fruit forest." After the forest spirit said to the red-scaled flying dragon, he turned his head and stared at Lu Yu and others seriously.
"I'm joking, respected Six Pillars, there are still some people among the forest elves who have witnessed your ancestors ushering in a new era, and I am one of them." The forest elf's words were sincere, seeming to be in memory, "They are
The pillar of Solon is also the hero of all races in the disaster of the Infested Spirit. Although Solon has marginalized them and tried hard to prevent his people from forgetting them...but we still remember them."
The forest spirit floated up, turned its back to the bright moon, and asked Roye with a smile: "But does Solon still need your six pillars?"
"Six Pillars, Your Excellency Gluttonous Eater, we will meet again... By then, this will no longer be a game."
Under the moonlight, the forest spirit moved away little by little, until it was completely gone. Then the flying dragon hurriedly took off and rushed to the place mentioned by the forest spirit.
Royer, who was talking to the forest elf, seemed a little silent. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He looked into the distance for a long time and shook his head as if he was mocking himself.
Lu Yu asked Xialem: "Did he want to take action just now?"
"I can't feel any special magic power fluctuations. It seems like he is really trying to play a joke on us."
A seventh-level forest elf, a commission comparable to a human test. If he and Royer hadn't stopped it, would any of the adventurers who entered the Raging Volcano Ridge have survived?
Royer said: "The forest elves are ready to move. Our ancestors once said that during the Infested Spirit War, they relied on their strength and achievements to gather a large amount of rich land in Melias. The forest elves at that time were very coveted around the Wrath of the Volcano Ridge.
area, but being bordered by a four-powerful kingdom in its heyday without any buffers made the forest elves feel uneasy, so they abandoned this area and retreated to the relatively remote north of Solon... They want to come back."
"Why now?" He touched his head for a moment.
"The turmoil in the Civita area may have allowed the forest elves to see the chaotic side of Solon." Lu Yu said very conservatively in order not to hurt Roye.
The origins of the rebellion in the Civita region are all accusations of Solon's corruption and cruelty. Although the empire was very cautious in suppressing the rebellion and did not kill indiscriminately, it did kill the squirrel people, did not engage in massacres, and did not engage in massacres, but even so, Qi Huita was very careful.
All races in Vita except the squirrel people have no trust in Solon.
The emperor's direct line of nobles personally managed Civita. No one paid attention to the pardon issued on the first day of the lord's appointment. The tax exemption announcement went without incident. They avoided the lord's direct line of knights. This was the first reaction of the people of Civita. They fled into the empire.
There are not a few people outside the actual control area.
The red-scaled flying dragon returned to the lake with a baby dragon the size of a dog.
As soon as they met, the red-scaled flying dragon used its wings to push the baby dragon's head down: "You are different from the humans I have seen. May the gods illuminate your path forward."
Xialem knelt down, touched the baby dragon's scales that had not yet hardened, and pinched his still soft face: "It's so cute."
Royer raised his head: "Are you from Sligo?"
The red-scale flying dragon gritted its teeth: "That is a despicable and dirty country. One day, they will be destroyed in raging fire!"
Combining some of what Laurende had said, Lu Yu almost understood what was going on.
The late summer and early autumn is the time for the Sligo Hero Trial. The theme of the Hero Trial is different every two years. This year happens to have two themes, one is dragon hunting, and the other is snow melting.
As the name suggests, Dragon Hunting is to solve the problem of ice crystal elements in the far north of Sligo. However, as we all know, Sligo has a grudge against the dragon clan, so hunting dragons can obtain extremely high honors, and the Dragon Hunting Trial is naturally more attractive.
The red-scaled flying dragon was forced to leave his home to avoid the sharp edge of the dragon-hunting trial. However, he unfortunately encountered a more powerful forest elf and became his tool to lure the adventurers of the Raging Mountain Ridge into killing each other.
The dragon clan that made Meira tremble in the past is now in a pitiful situation.
"Leave Mela, you will not be safe even in Solon." Royer touched the baby dragon's head and looked at the cute way he rubbed his hand. He couldn't help but suggest, "For the sake of your child,
This is the best outcome."
The red-scaled flying dragon raised its head, looked around, and said tremblingly: "This... used to be our home. Our people drained their blood and used their bodies to stop those monsters from invading this land... But why is there no room for us here now?"
Place."
"On this land, people are dying in droves. Between the mountains, on the scorched earth, bones are everywhere... Why have we done so much, and yet we are the ones who are homeless?"
Lu Yu and Roye were silent.
They could argue, but they didn't.
Their achievements should not be blasphemed.
The red-scale flying dragon lowered her head, stuck out her tongue and licked the young dragon. After calming down, she lowered her head deeply to the four people and once again sent her blessing: "If one day, the empire collapses, I hope you will be safe and sound.
The god of luck will always protect you."
After saying that, she held the baby dragon in her mouth, spread out her scarred wings, and flew towards the west, passing through the mountains and beyond to the vast sea.
Standing on the hill, overlooking the ridge of Raging Volcano under the moonlight, Lu Yu suddenly lost interest in this place. Laurende was right, this place was the worst among the five options.
The forest spirits in the north are ready to move, waiting for the turmoil to begin to take back the land they have coveted for hundreds of years.
The races here are complex, the resources are rich, but the types are monotonous, and the upper limit is destined to be extremely low.
"Laurent's vision... is really vicious. Is this the Pope?" Lu Yu couldn't help but marvel.
Laurent was able to analyze this land he had never visited so thoroughly based on information just by sitting in the Papal Tower. It is no wonder that he has firmly held the core rights of the Theocracy in his own hands for nearly eighty years.
Governed the kingdom prosperously.
Royer walked to Lu Yu: "Suddenly curious, why did you come here? Did the God of Sera drive you out of the house?"
After this incident, Roye seemed less reserved. He couldn't speak a word without thinking about how to address Lu Yu for a long time. He even joked with Lu Yu.
Lu Yu liked the atmosphere of this conversation: "Yes, they kicked me out. I am homeless and can only look for a suitable place to stay."
Thinking that Lu Yu was joking, Roye said with a hint of arrogance: "If you really have nowhere to go, you are welcome to the Feidina family. To be honest, I have a greater say in the family than Xia Leim."
