It was different from what she imagined. Lulu was indeed surprised to see the two people come back with ashes, but she did not throw herself into anyone's arms, nor did she cry.
Lulu took the ashes calmly and told everyone that she would not do experiments tonight and wanted to be alone with her parents, so she took a bath, then put on a new set of clothes and returned to the room with the ashes in her arms.
Sera was mentally prepared for Lulu to feel temporarily depressed when she encountered the scene. However, the next day Lulu appeared in front of everyone with a smile and continued her experiments on the medicine.
Lu Yu took the initiative to exchange information with Sera: "I happened to wake up in the middle of the night last night and happened to pass by Lulu's door. I heard her whispering to her parents. Now it seems that Lulu has grown up."
It's certainly a good thing that Lulu can grow up without the shadow of her parents' death, but what Sera noticed was other information in this passage.
"It just so happened that... I installed a soundproof circle in each room to ensure privacy. Can you explain what kind of accident allowed you to hear things in the soundproof circle?"
"..." Lu Yu coughed, "It's time to talk about the Hongyan Mountains."
Sera looked at Lu Yu with disdain, he was so skillful in changing the subject, and even said that he could change his face very quickly, even if he really wanted you to fool the nobles.
The huge magic array in Serra's courtyard was all activated to monitor magic fluctuations, prevent spying, eavesdropping, and illusion replacement. It was so complete that Lu Yu suspected that he had returned to Twilight City.
"When he was sleeping, he was only at the sixth level, but he reached the ninth level during reincarnation. Clorens's strength should not be underestimated. I did copy the magic circle in Twilight City, but it is still difficult to copy it perfectly."
Lulu asked: "What are the difficulties?"
"First of all, it's the venue. It's impossible for me to completely cover this mountain. Otherwise, people from the trial court and law enforcement tribunal will come and cause trouble. I don't like to deal with these two groups of people."
"The second is the environment. The concentration of magic power is higher in the moon-carved barrier, so magic that cannot be accomplished by the outside world at this stage can be achieved."
"The last point is relatively simple, materials. Transport a large amount of materials here in one go, and run this place like a fortress... People from the law enforcement bureau will still come to cause trouble. The materials that were moved back from Kolai last time have already made me accept it twice.
I responded to the court’s routine inquiry, and Laurent solved it for me.”
"So after the magic wave started..."
"It's not a problem to replicate Twilight City, and the dolls are also ready-made."
This is the first plenary meeting after confirming the Hongyan Mountains as the site for his manor, and the topic is about the preliminary preparations and division of labor for the construction of the manor.
After the magic circle was fully activated, Lulu also came to the ground. As usual, the stupid dragon approached Lulu and stuck out his tongue to take a lick. However, he was frightened by the flames coming out of Lulu's palm, and moved to Sigrid aggrievedly.
around.
As the only person who had made an on-site inspection of the Hongyan Mountains, Lu Yu clapped his hands as a signal for the official start of the meeting.
"Lulu's concerns in Solon have been resolved. Next, we will leave the Theocracy and officially enter the Red Flame Mountains to build our new home."
The mist demon and Sigrid applauded wildly in favor of Mianzi, and Lulu, who was a little shy, also followed suit by giving her a few false shots.
Sierra pulled up a chair and sat down domineeringly, saying jokingly: "Distribute the work, big landowner."
Lu Yu first named Sigrid.
"When I started the investigation, I asked you and Benlong to travel to Kolai to cooperate with Anna and Isko to retrieve the treasures in the treasure house. How is the progress?"
"Due to the special conditions for entering the moon-carved barrier and the pursuit of confidentiality, Anna only shipped out four boxes of treasures despite being notified in advance, one of which was reserved for the operating funds of Qidian Welfare Institute, and two boxes of ancient currency.
I re-cast it through the local nobles at a favorable price, and brought back a box of universal metal currency intact."
The long-term experience of settling accounts during the trip made Sigrid feel comfortable with Lu Yu's answer. She said proudly and confidently: "Just in case, I asked Anna to ship out two boxes of general metal currency again at the next moon.
For emergencies. As for the earthworks and stones needed to build manors and mansions, I believe that using local materials in the Hongyan Mountains can save us a lot of money."
Sigrid smiled and said: "Of course, the specific situation still requires personal inspection of the surrounding situation after arriving at the destination, and then weighing it based on the trade relations of the tribes, communities, and city-states living nearby."
Everyone was like "Wow" and applauded enthusiastically.
Sera praised: "It's hard to imagine that Lu Yu found you from the pile of slaves in an unusual way. You have found a treasure."
Sigrid said modestly: "It's just that I gained experience from being tortured by them with numbers and currencies along the way."
Lu Yu gave a thumbs up, and then asked: "How are you preparing to collect special materials for the coming magic wave?"
Sigrid said: "According to Lulu, in the purchase list given by Sera, because you have warned me, in order to prevent others from discovering the pattern, I hired people of different races, and people with different identities were staggered and dispersed.
Location, small and frequent purchases.”
Sera, who entered the discussion state, rubbed her ears and added: "I may add some more to the list. If the budget exceeds the budget, just ask me for it. I have saved some money for the family."
Sigrid did a good job in the financial expenditure for the construction of the manor and the preparation of initial materials, which also allowed Lu Yu to continue the topic smoothly.
"Although I feel a little sorry for Stupid Dragon and Mist Demon, the development of your potions may have to be postponed. Lulu, we need some potions and potions, the more aggressive ones."
Lulu's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly: "What kind of effect is it? Be more specific."
"You are most familiar with fire-type area-of-effect killing agents, but you should store the ones with higher safety."
"Some highly toxic chemicals should ideally not have much impact on vegetation. I don't want to affect the environment after use."
"Also prepare some recovery potions... try to make them as delicious as possible."
Lu Yu went through it in his mind and signaled Lulu that was all.
"Although we may have a really big advantage against the dominant species, the opponent's number is much greater than ours, so we must be cautious."
Lulu geared up: "Don't worry, for the sake of our home, I will definitely prepare some good things for the vampires!"
"Because you have designed your own mansion, you can control the general design ideas of the manor this time."
Lulu is the only one among them who can draw, so those who are able naturally work harder, and Lulu does her part, saying that it is a trivial matter.
Sera could see that Lulu was enjoying it, and was filled with joy when Lu Yu assigned her tasks, just like a child eager to be praised after doing well.
"Sierra, for that box, think of a way to make it more secure.
Sierra thought for a while: "I'll try my best."
"Mist Demon, Stupid Dragon, during the construction of the manor, you may have to help with some physical work, especially the Stupid Dragon, who may need to fly around in the sky all the time."
Stupid Dragon put his chin on the ground and shouted obediently: "Stupid Dragon is not afraid, Stupid Dragon wants to help."
Lulu walked up to Benlong and gently rubbed the bridge of his nose. Benlong narrowed his eyes happily.
After completing the circle, there was only a moment left.
Sera remembered something: "Did Laurende tell you how to deal with the dominant vampire race? Should you kill them, suppress them, or contain them?"
Lu Yu said: "Although I told Laurend that I have enough trump cards against the dominant species of vampires, he still did not recommend that I let the dominant species continue to be active in the Red Flame Mountains, because once the magic wave arrives, these people will be forced to succumb to us.
The guys below will only have wandering thoughts after being promoted."
Is there room for others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?
Lu Yu must show a certain degree of strength and force the dominant species to give up being their enemies, just like the dominant species are forcing the elves and giants to do now. In this way, the Red Flame Mountains will completely belong to them.
As for the elves, Laurend suggested making them allies.
In the past several disputes in the Hongyan Mountains, the number of elves has been continuously declining. Now that the giants have had the idea of migrating, there is no chance of winning against the dominant vampire elves alone. Lu Yu arrived at the Hongyan Mountains.
The vampires we encountered on the first day had just returned from preying on elves.
The elves seemed to have been beaten by the vampires and were unable to fight back, and the black-clothed nun secretly released by Laurend received a piece of information that surprised Lu Yu.
After a long period of fighting, the elves living around the Red Flame Mountains have been divided into two factions: the main war faction and the main migration faction. Among them, the main migration faction has decided to follow the giants southward, and the number of main war faction remaining in the Red Flame Mountains may not be enough.
By two hundred, the entire ethnic group was already facing annihilation.
Elves are good at taking care of plants and improving the environment. If you maintain a good relationship with them, you will benefit even more in the future.
Lulu suddenly exclaimed: "By the way, to achieve self-sufficiency in food, we need to reclaim a lot of wasteland. If the dolls in Twilight City cannot move freely before the magic wave, how can we have so many manpower to complete all this, even if
Lu Yu’s summons can’t do it, right?”
It is true that Lu Yu's current summons are mainly for fighting and killing. They are very good at making enemies disappear, but letting them take care of crops... it is a bit too difficult to summon them.
Imagine that the flesh chariot is stuffing pieces of unknown animal meat into its mouth while handling the crops with its tentacles to check the growth status.
Imagine again, the Demon-Eating Tree standing on the ground, the eyes on the branches swinging in the wind with the crops...
Dawan looked at the crops blankly, at a loss.
As soon as the gecko got close to the crops, it lit the fields on fire, and then danced happily in the fire...
Summon No. 1...forget it, this is unimaginable.
Just imagining those scenes made Lu Yu couldn't help laughing.
Lulu tilted her head in confusion: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No, I just thought of some fun scenes. Also... Lulu, we have some people, have you forgotten?"
"Is there, where is it..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lulu's eyes sparkled as she reacted.
"Yes, my lovely mushrooms!"
Lu Yu added: "Not only the mushrooms, but also the white wolves, and the adventurers who broke into the Goblin Underground Palace with us."
The fog demon shouted excitedly: "Huogu, there is Huogu!"
