After Lu Yu left, the group of six cut off the heads of five vampires and left the Hongyan Mountains overnight.
"Captain, what kind of fucking strength do those two people have, can you tell?" Recalling the scene where they went on a killing spree, the team members still shuddered and couldn't help but yell.
"I can't see it, but facing that woman, I can't even muster the courage to draw my sword... She is so beautiful, but her smile makes my scalp numb, as if a ferocious beast has taken off its disguise and exposed
I have never heard of such a character among the famous adventurers of Broken Gold City. His ability to kill vampires easily is comparable to that of a crystal-level person."
"Crystal!" someone exclaimed.
"But why would such a person ask such a strange question... He has a farm and a mansion. Does he want to be neighbors with those terrible vampires?"
"Who do you think is scarier, the vampire or him?"
"..."
"That woman called the man Lu Yu...hiss, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."
"Is this a famous person?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard this name somewhere."
The six-person group returned to Broken Gold City and threw the five vampire heads onto the reception desk of the Adventurers Association. The blood-stained cloth rolled down and the heads were exposed in front of several receptionists.
Soon, professional evaluators came over for inspection. They examined the head, looked at the group of six, and put away the instruments in their hands.
"Although according to convention, we should not interfere with the specific hunting process, but...these heads are a bit strange. It seems that the vampires did not die from light magic and enchanted weapons, but more like they died from the magic of the vampire's manipulation of blood."
"Yes." There was nothing to hide in front of the assessor, so the captain readily agreed, "A strange vampire hunter helped us. He has a very powerful vampire maid. This is that
The work of a maid."
"Do you know his name?" The receptionist opened the adventurer registration booklet, intending to find this pair of extremely powerful vampire hunters and inform the vampire hunters in Broken Gold City.
With the revival of the dominant vampire race, they are no longer satisfied with only occupying the Red Flame Mountains and some surrounding areas. Their frictions with giants and elves, their declaration of sovereignty over the Red Flame Mountains, and their attacks on the adventurers of Broken Gold City all indicate their intentions.
Re-divided territory with surrounding ethnic groups.
The people most injured by the undeclared war of the Vampire Clan are not the two directly competing races, the elves and giants, but the adventurers active near the Red Flame Mountains. Since four years ago, there have been one after another around the Red Flame Mountains.
There were reports of missing humans, and most of those who could come back turned into mummies.
The rampant vampires filled many adventurers with righteous indignation, and they formed a vampire hunter organization to specifically deal with vampires. Broken Gold City was also happy to provide a convenient door for those who safeguarded the interests of the city-state. The hut next to the Adventurer Association was specially built for vampire hunters.
gathering place.
The captain, who was also curious, said without hesitation: "Lu Yu, that's what the vampire maid called him."
The receptionist kept flipping through the books in his hands, one after another, but he couldn't find any records related to the strange name of Lu Yu. On the contrary, the appraiser was thoughtful after hearing the name.
"Lu Yu... Lu Yu... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."
The appraiser, who had been thinking for a long time, touched his chin and walked on the way to the vampire hunter's cabin.
After receiving the bounty, the group of six, who were sincerely grateful to Lu Yu for giving them the wealth, came to the tavern in Broken Gold City.
The aroma of wine wafting in the vampire hunter's hut caused lightning to flash in the assessor's mind.
The group of six listened to the noisy shouting in the tavern and suddenly recalled something.
"Gluttony...Lu Yu?"
"Why did he come here?"
They vaguely remembered that Lu Yu's maid seemed to have said something like this during the battle.
"Your blood looks delicious."
The night wind blew, and the six people's backs were cold and they were sweating profusely.
…
…
"Your Excellency Lu Yu, long time no see. What story have you prepared for the Pope this time?"
The members of the Papal Knights of the Corridor of Time smiled and saluted Lu Yu, and Lu Yu nodded in return.
"Hey, glutton, does it take so long to go out to look for food?"
The liveliest nun in black, Zixing, jumped out and stopped Lu Yu, pretending to search her body. Lu Yu raised his hands, and on the palm of his hand was a unique crystal handicraft with a small purple flower inside.
"It matches the color in your name. Please spare me. I still have to tell stories to the Pope."
"It took me so long to go out to look for food. I thought you could bring me more surprises." Zi Xing muttered.
"If you don't want me, just give it to the other lovely nuns in the Papal Tower."
"Bring it to me!"
The members of the Papal Order laughed.
Lu Yu has been visiting the Pope's Tower for a long time, and the external name is to tell stories for the Pope to relieve his boredom. The Pope is indeed in a good mood since Lu Yu's arrival. Everyone has also seen that the Pope often takes Lu Yu and his companions to wander in the garden, so
Everyone here has a good impression of Lu Yu, and they no longer have a straight face when they come and go. Even the two lifeless elderly nuns in black will nod and smile when Lu Yu passes by.
The door of the Papal Tower opened, and the nuns in black and the waiters who served Laurent were extremely surprised, and then they smiled happily.
"The Pope told us these past few days to prepare refreshments for two people, and said that you could come back at any time. As expected of the Pope, you are indeed back."
"Lord Lu Yu, do you want to put more sugar in your tea? Lord Serra said that you like to drink sweet things, and specially asked us to remember to put more sugar... But we still want to ask you personally, because the black nun said
Sierra will play pranks on you..."
Everything was as usual, and every familiar face was in a familiar position. This feeling made Lu Yu feel at ease inexplicably.
For some reason, visiting the Papal Tower already made him feel like he was home.
In the room, Laurent put down the book in his hand. Although his magic power was not strong, he said firmly: "Lu Yu is back. I am very familiar with his cadence."
Lu Yu knocked lightly on the door, and after receiving a response, he pushed the door open and entered.
Laurend looked at the scrolls and pamphlets in his hands and smiled kindly: "How does it feel to travel across the territories of the four major countries in a short period of time?"
"It's so vast. When flying over the uninhabited land, I feel like I've been abandoned by this world." Lu Yu sat down and took a sip of tea, and couldn't help but sigh, "Loneliness, solitude, silence, night falls, and the beasts sleep.
, everything was silent, and I just stood under the night sky, looking up at the stars. At that moment, I was thinking...what exactly is it that I want?"
The nun in black who had gone out to bring refreshments to the two of them paused for a moment when she heard these words.
Laurende adjusted his pillow and tried to align his eyes with Lu Yu's. His wise eyes seemed to reflect the stars that Lu Yu saw that night.
Laurent said, "This is a very interesting question. Many people spend their entire lives. Every time they stop to think, they feel that they fully understand what they desire deep in their hearts. As time goes by, when he reaches the end of his life, he looks back.
, only to realize that what they have been chasing all their lives is just a phantom. Some people know what they want, but encounter something better in the middle, but they have no choice but to carry too much, and they have to choose one of the two.
…Want it, but can’t get it.”
"What about you, Lu Yu?" Laurent asked, "What's your answer?"
Lu Yu handed the booklet in his hand to Laurend: "I was a little ambitious. I was thinking about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with any big reason. I just hope that the people who love me and care about me can help me in the coming turmoil.
Live safely and happily...Maybe, I just want to focus on the people I cherish."
Under the veil of the nun in black, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.
Laurent glanced at the nun in black and already knew what she was thinking. He patted Lu Yu's shoulder, then slowly moved his hand to Lu Yu's head and touched it gently.
"What a great conversation...that's enough and I feel relieved."
Laurent did not explain to Lu Yu, and casually flipped through Lu Yu's records on the border of Solon. Then he smiled and said nothing. He stretched out his hand and let Lu Yu support him, and they came to the balcony together.
Looking at the silver maple tree in the distance, Laurent asked: "Have you decided? Where do you choose?"
"After I got home, I discussed it with Lulu and the others, and they all watched the video. We chose... the Red Flame Mountain Range!"
Laurent frowned slightly, and his gaze slowly moved as he admired the silver maple tree, resting on Lu Yu's face.
"You have been to the Red Flame Mountains and you should have heard about the dominant vampire race. They are very difficult to deal with."
Lu Yu nodded: "I know."
Seeing that Lu Yu was so determined, Laurent tapped the guardrail with his finger and said slowly: "The Raging Volcano Ridge was not an option from the beginning; the climate of the Misty Mountains is not suitable for your farming plan; there is the Count of Evil Beasts to the west of the abundant mountains, and the Count of Evil Beasts to the east.
Various powerful alien races; the dominant vampire race in the Hongyan Mountains poses a huge threat."
"In my imagination, the meteorite ruins are your best choice. Although there are a large number of alien races living there, with complicated relationships and many conflicts, as long as you are willing to use some means to win over, divide, and suppress, you can quickly stand firm.
Heel." Laurend said, "You chose the Red Flame Mountains, which means you have to take a huge risk - the risk of facing the dominant vampire race."
"Reason, give me a reason." Laurende looked into Lu Yu's eyes.
Lu Yu did not hide anything: "I have a trump card against the Vampires. As long as the magic power I can control reaches the fifth level, the dominant Vampires in the Hongyan Mountains will not be my opponent. After solving this biggest trouble, no matter what the situation in the Hongyan Mountains is,
The terrain, environment, and resources are far better than the meteorite ruins."
Lu Yu's eyes were so firm that Laurende couldn't find the slightest waver.
Laurender sighed and smiled: "This confidence allows me to see myself when I was young, so go ahead and make the Red Flame Mountains your home."
Laurent changed the subject and brought up the matter of Solon: "You should know the reason for the chaos on Solon's border."
"The magic wave has the possibility of shuffling the cards. In order to obtain as many shuffling opportunities as possible, the nobles on the border have more or less their own little calculations. As the predicted time for the arrival of the magic wave approaches, such a situation can only
It will become more and more common." Lu Yu answered seriously.
Laurent nodded and asked softly: "Do you know when the magic wave will arrive?"
Without any warning, Laurent went straight in, leaving Lu Yu at a loss.
