"What do you mean?" Lu Yu, who was stroking Shou Gong's white belly with Xia Leim, asked.
Royer, who was standing by the lake, picked up a stone and threw it hard at the lake, breaking the moon into pieces: "What you said when you faced those adventurers today..."
"If you want a group of crazy people to calm down and unite together, you need to be powerful enough to make them fearful and become their common target."
Royer paused and continued: "The same was true for the invasion of the spirit of infection back then. If all the scattered nations had not witnessed the death of the dragon and the collapse of Melias, they would not have made up their minds to unite to resist, let alone welcome the invasion.
Come to the glory days."
Lu Yu said: "Common enemies and common interests allow everyone to have a common goal. It is logical to abandon prejudices and eliminate conflicts. Your scholars seem to have written such a sentence in the book - Infection
The spirit brought terror, fire, death and destruction, but also led Mera into an era of glory...a short-lived era of glory."
"It was a wonderful time, wasn't it?
" Royer, who took the initiative to bring up this topic, thought for a long time after finishing speaking and asked Lu Yu about his next plan.
Lu Yu rejected the invitation he and Xialem sent. Although he was very curious about how the six pillars' territory was managed, he needed to see the remaining four locations quickly.
After dawn, Lu Yu and Roye parted by the lake. They looked at Xialem, who had been pinched by Roye before she woke up and said goodbye to him, and then looked at Xialem, who had a wicked smile on her face and looked mature, but still very young.
Royer and Lu Yu were suddenly curious...Why are they not a couple? Isn't this a perfect match?

…
After more than a month, Laurent once again summoned the senior leaders of Theocratic State to meet in the Silver Maple Council Hall, and all the senior leaders of Theocratic State were present.
With the support of the nun in black, Laurent, whose face was slightly rosier than before, walked far less staggering than before, and his speech and enunciation were still clear.
The meeting ended, and all the senior officials leaving the meeting hall showed joy.
Although some of them long for the papal crown, all of them hope that Laurent can live longer.
Growing up under the wings of Laurent, they have basked in the glory cast by this old man for too long. He is warm, loving and dependable. He is the spokesperson of the God of Glory in the world and the most high-spirited banner of the Theocracy. Everyone.
They are all used to following his footsteps and moving forward step by step. His steps are so steady and reliable, and every step seems so powerful, as if he never makes a mistake.
Although many people in the top management knew the "truth" about the God of Glory, in front of Laurend, they unanimously chose to believe it.
Just because he firmly believed it.
Laurent did not go straight back to the Papal Tower, but asked the nun in black to accompany him for a walk around the Papal Tower.
The Papal Knights and the guards of the Corridor of Time disappeared one after another, leaving the space to them. This was an unspoken agreement among everyone.
"You look better, which makes them all happy." The nun in black said, holding Laurent's hand.
"No matter what happens after my death, their loyalty is beyond doubt, and their abilities satisfy me... I have been ill in bed for a long time, and I secretly control most matters. They are still completing the specific implementation. Everything remains the same, and the Theocracy has no reason to do so.
Without my guidance, I went off track.”
"This is your charm. Such a group of people will bow their heads obediently because they admire you."
The lively black nun Zi Xing quietly stood on the wall, revealing half of her head, and secretly glanced at Laurend and the black nun.
The papal knights beside her turned their backs to her as if nothing had happened, maintaining their posture on guard, but they asked calmly: "How does the Pope look?"
"You look very good, and you are talking and laughing with us adults...ah...the Pope is so kind, I also want to be touched by him."
"I hope the Pope can pat me on the shoulder and encourage me..."
“…”
"Also?" The papal knights who suddenly came back to their thoughts said in unison.
When they turned around, the Purple Star had already fallen to the ground, and a black shadow appeared in front of them in an instant. They were so scared that they were about to whistle, but after seeing the black nun uniform, the Papal Knights were sweating profusely.
.
Purple Star and the Pope Knight were trembling as they were stared at by the pale golden light under the veil, the murderous intent in their eyes was too obvious...
"The children are just curious, there is no need to scare them." After seeing the Pope Knight running away in embarrassment, Laurent said with a smile.
The nun in black who returned to Laurent said angrily: "How much time do I have left when I have you alone like this? You are their pope, but you are also the person I love most. At least let me enjoy this time more."
Bar…"
Laurent didn't say anything. He stretched out his uncontrollable and trembling hands and gently hugged the black nun's shoulders.
The nun in black fell on his shoulder and closed her eyes obediently.
The sky is blue, the sun is warm, the flowers are fragrant...and he makes people feel at ease
Breathing the fresh air, Laurend looked at the quiet courtyard, thinking a lot. Touching the smooth scales that protruded from time to time on her smooth skin, Laurend had a lot to say, but said nothing.
She's right... at least let her enjoy it for a while.
After a long time, the nun in black stood up with satisfaction: "It's time to go back and rest. Your body is still very weak, but you can't have another accident."
Laurende smiled and said: "No rush, no rush, let me stay for a while... By the way, Lu Yu hasn't come back yet. He has been out for more than 20 days, right?"
"No, I heard from Sera that Lulutis would pester her from time to time during this period to ask for news about Lu Yu." The nun in black covered her mouth and snickered.
"That kid..." Laurend couldn't help but laugh or cry, "What do you think of Lu Yu?"
"He is the person you chose. Wouldn't I say it's not good?" the nun in black said, "but you seem to have admired him since the first time you met?"
Laurent stood up, and the nun in black stepped forward to help him tacitly.
"A lot of things Serra said made me like him very much. A seventh-level magician who is easy to control likes him, but he does not take advantage of others, but is very serious about getting himself by completing the commission.
What you need; strictly abide by the entrustment and never ask for more things from Lulutis during the journey. Even if you encounter danger, you know that Lulutis has the corresponding knowledge to solve it, as long as Lulutis does not mention it,
He will never take the initiative to ask about it; he will never delve into Lulutis’s past, he will understand and respect everything she is willing to talk about, and tolerate the child who was hurt by Tanya to the greatest extent."
The door to the Pope's Tower opened, and the servants bent down to greet them. Laurent responded with a smile, then triggered the elevator and slowly ascended.
"A seventh-level magician who is insecure and easy to control. How many people will covet the knowledge she has and try their best to get it? How many people can be like Lu Yu and remain unmoved... even if they are tempted, they still obey
The inner code is never to be obtained through rhetoric?"
"They returned to Mela from a distant country. The journey was long and dangerous, and they experienced countless tests. When the crisis of life and death came... For example, under the Blue Water City in Mostana, he still never asked for the knowledge that Lulutis had not provided.
, he has never doubted whether Lulutis has reservations about him, but treats her seriously as a friend... Along the way, many things have tested his character, and he is a person worth trusting."
"Although he has an impulsive side, he can't help but make risky moves, does things poorly, and thinks a little hastily... But that's all relative to us. We can't criticize a young child too harshly. He has already done it.
Things that many children at this age cannot do... Furthermore, being impulsive is not necessarily a bad thing. As I get older, I am always rational and have long forgotten the passion of my youth. This has prevented me from having the courage to do it for you in the rest of my life.
Change what...I'm sorry..."
Laurent, who was already lying on the bed, suddenly hugged the nun in black, with tears glistening in his eyes.
The nun in black put her forehead against it: "I have said since I came to the Theocracy that I will wait for you... Now it's just that I have waited a little longer... I have realized it a long time ago."
The nun in black joked: "As the person you chose, you have high hopes for him and don't want him to embark on a difficult road... Then you should remind him about Lulutis."
"It's not urgent yet... I don't know what his attitude towards Sera is yet..." A smile suddenly appeared on Laurend's face, "It's very interesting, isn't it? The way he and Sera think about problems, the logic of things.
They’re all very similar.”
"And...there is one thing that I need to confirm after he comes back."
"What's up?"
"Does he know anything about the time when the magic wave started?" Laurend's eyes were deep.
…
…
Standing on the hill and looking into the distance, Lu Yu saw traces of villages and towns, which was consistent with the information provided by the adventurers he met in the valley just now.
"Is this Broken Gold City?"
In the past month, Lu Yu has walked through the Misty Mountains, the Meteor Ruins, and the Plenty Mountains, and now only the last Red Flame Mountain Range is left that he has not yet set foot on.
Without the help of Ben Long, Lu Yu's journey was a little bumpy by relying solely on renting Pegasus. When he arrived at the Misty Mountains at the second stop, he was warmly welcomed by the ice crystal element.
Countless ice clusters shone brightly and were as dense as rain. Lu Yu could not even say hello before he was overwhelmed by "enthusiasm". He relied on the big bowl and the guard to avoid the attack. The group of rented Pegasus
It became dinner that day.
Lu Yu, who was impressed by the extremely aggressive nature of ice crystal elements, mentioned this matter to the people at the port after arriving at the Three Frost and Snow Islands, and the people at the port laughed.
"Your Pegasus must have been thrown around on the ice element's territory."
After careful questioning, I found out that many ice crystal elements near the Misty Mountains have a certain degree of mysophobia. In their eyes, the behavior of throwing objects everywhere is a desecration of the crystal clear ice crystal body. Because of the severe cold, animal feces are often disposed on the ice crystal elements' territory where dripping water turns into ice.
Perfectly frozen, it looks like...artifacts.
Lu Yu covered his forehead. No wonder those ice crystal elements that looked like popsicles suddenly went berserk and quickly gathered together to attack like a mecha deforming...
While communicating with some foreign races active near the mountains, Lu Yu also learned about a shortcoming that Laurend did not point out.
The Misty Mountains do have a pleasant climate, but this pleasant time... Although there are tall mountains that block most of the cold current, winter here is earlier than other places.
After leaving the Misty Mountains, Lu Yu bought a Pegasus and headed straight for the Fengfei Mountains. When he arrived at the Earl of Evil Beasts, he was shocked to find that... this was probably the most majestic knight's territory he had ever seen.
The entire Earl of Evil Beasts is larger than the Solon Royal City Rodmere that we visited before. It is a very large city-state that takes into account the functions of a military fortress, a trade transfer station, and a frontier reclamation frontier. The number of defenders in the city-state is even a secret and cannot be obtained.
I don’t know, but judging from the grains that are about to mature in the large areas visible to the naked eye near the Earldom of Evil Beasts, there are definitely a lot of Codzoun elites stationed here.
Good guy... This is another detail that Laurender did not mention. The Earldom of Evil Beasts sounds like an earldom, but in fact it is actually directly controlled by the royal family members of Codezon.
The Earl of Evil Beast refers to an old local lord who used cruel methods to prevent the invasion of aliens, loved to kill, and frightened the aliens. It is said that this lord was bloodthirsty and killed continuously throughout his life, and the walls of his home were covered with the broken limbs of various aliens.
, just like a Beijing view.
Because he was too cruel, he was called an "evil beast" by the foreigners, and they cursed him to annihilate his descendants - a very popular curse.
Naturally, the Earl smiled and accepted the title of Evil Beast, and took the initiative to apply for the title from Codzon. As for the annihilation of children... After hearing about the curse, the Earl of Evil Beast thought that he had no children, and immediately applied to the royal family, asking for a large amount of money.
The royal family agreed to the beautiful slave maids one by one, so the descendants of Count Evil Beast are still killing foreigners in the city-state, doing the same thing as his fathers.
"What a ruthless person." Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
The Fengfei Mountains circled around, and Lu Yu could not deny that his heart was moved.
The terrain and resources are too rich, and the upper limit is extremely high, making people salivate... But there are ruthless people in the west, and alien races in the east. Lu Yu, who doesn't want to be caught in the middle, can only reluctantly leave.
Perhaps because he had seen the abundant mountains, the majestic sight of the meteorite ruins did not stir up much excitement in Lu Yu's heart. The daily life here was indeed as Laurend said... the alien race started filming.
There are many alien forces here, with a large population and bad tempers. Fights started from time to time when Lu Yu was recording Lulu. Sometimes when the recording was good, a few monsters or aliens would pop out and steal the show in front of the camera.
...Most of the key strengths are very high, either mithril or gold. It's really brutal and strong for my body...
What a wonderful place... Why are there so many gorillas fighting outside the house every day? This is basically the impression Lu Yu had of the meteorite ruins.
Four of the five options were basically eliminated. If the Hongyan Mountains did not meet his expectations, Lu Yu could only turn his attention to the abundant mountains and meteorite ruins.

I had a bad cold and I haven't recovered yet. I felt like I was going to get sick all day today. I coded 4k for 6 hours, which is a record...
