Under the moonlight, Lu Yu followed Ye Shui to an open space behind Vanessa Temple.
As Ye Shui gently brushed his hand over the bluestone, the nested magic arrays continued to glow, and green light particles floated in the air, like countless fireflies dancing around them.
Two huge stones weighing a thousand kilograms were combined together to form a gate. At this moment, they were activated by the magic power of the magic circle and retreated to both sides, revealing a step leading to the underground. The deep and long passage seemed to lead to
another world.
Ye Shui snapped his fingers, a breeze blew in, and the lighting crystals on the stone walls on both sides lit up, and the dust floating in the air could still be vaguely seen.
As I walked down the stairs, there was an indescribable dull smell in the air that made my nose extremely uncomfortable, as if I had been slapped with a piece of gauze and covered my face.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the humid air was filled with the faint smell of decaying plants, and the stone steps under my feet began to become slippery.
A moss-covered stone door appeared in front of Lu Yu's eyes. It was abrupt and incompatible with the dry stone walls on both sides. Ye Shui stepped forward and pressed the stone door softly, and another series of magic arrays lit up.
Lu Yu frowned.
Ye Shui turned around and reminded: "This is a bacteria cellar built based on the idea of the Mother Goddess Vanessa. It may not be very friendly to humans."
With that said, she raised her hand and released a bubble-shaped shield for Lu Yu.
The stone door slowly opened, and the room was not as dark and narrow as Lu Yu imagined. A large number of fluorescent plants released blue and green light in the dim underground, providing necessary lighting for those who came here.
The scene that greeted his eyes made Lu Yu stunned.
Except for the fluorescent plants protected by the special magic circle, the huge fungus cellar is covered by dense "blood vessels". White tubular mycelium clings to all objects in the field of vision, criss-crossing. It looks like soft flocculent mycelium.
On the other hand, they are surrounding some contoured objects, like marshmallows, being blown by the breeze when the door is opened, swaying gently.
Silence.
Looking at the vague outlines on the ground and the walls, Lu Yu couldn't help but step forward and observe them closely.
"This is a process that takes time to accumulate, and you won't be able to see any special changes for a while."
Lu Yu resisted the thought of stroking it with his hands, turned around and asked, "How long will it take?"
"It depends on individual qualities. Those who are compatible with magic will naturally be faster, and those who are not... can slowly complete their transformation if fed consistently." Ye Shui noticed Lu Yu's uneasiness and explained with a smile, "We will devote ourselves to this fall.
There are a lot of rotten fruits, and by the way, I also bought some broken magic crystals with the merchants to continue to increase the magic concentration of the fungus cellar, they will be very safe."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry...Didn't I give them enough time to improve?"
Ye Shui shook off a large amount of scale powder from the caps and walked around the cellar. After doing all this, she signaled to Lu Yu that it was time to leave.
"Can't you stay a little longer?"
"When the Mother Goddess designed the fungus cellar, she specifically reminded that the magic power should be saturated as much as possible during the cultivation process of the fungus cellar. Although there is a magic circle to inhibit the escape, staying here for a long time will still have an impact."
The stone door closed little by little, and Lu Yu couldn't calm down.
Back on the ground, Ye Shui patted Lu Yu on the shoulder: "You did give them enough time to improve, but when they get along with us every day, they will always worry about physical inconveniences."
"Some of them hope to have more convenient bodies to help the blue water residents who have helped them, and some..." Ye Shui said, "I hope to grow up quickly so that they can follow your footsteps... Just
Just like us and the Mother Goddess before."
The little mushrooms chose a shortcut, and for this they had to pay some price. They decomposed the existing body into mycelium, and then cultivated it in a fungus cellar to obtain a new body.
"Intelligent life is born with a mind of its own."
Lu Yu once described the struggle of summoners after the world consciousness gave up the summoning school, but he never thought that he could now describe the little mushrooms he brought out from the harsh swamp.
This was their choice, and Lu Yu could only respect it.
In Ye Shui's residence, Lu Yu left behind the communication array that Sera and Lulu jointly improved.
"The magic power required to send information still fluctuates greatly, so please find a way to cover it up and use it as an emergency contact method." Lu Yu said.
Ye Shui followed his kindness and immediately said that he would set up a huge protective circle at home to prevent any outsiders from knowing the existence of this communication circle.
"Yeshui, from now on, please stock up on food in large quantities, open up enough cultivation sites for potion materials, increase mineral trading, and store them as strategic resources. This behavior must continue for at least two years."
Ye Shui was stunned: "Food, medicine, minerals... This is going to be a war again. Where did you get the news?"
"I can't tell you the specific details. If you believe me, just prepare as I say. I know that Blue Water is now an alliance of the three tribes, but both the Moon Shadow Werewolf and the current leader of the Demon Fox have a good relationship with you.
They are also willing to listen to your opinion, so it will not be difficult to implement it. You can just treat it as if the three tribes suffered psychological trauma during the war and Blue Water City panicked without hoarding enough supplies."
Ye Shui nodded: "I believe you. Blue Water City itself is in a state of expansion and requires a huge amount of materials. If you take the opportunity to mix in some materials, outsiders will not be able to detect it."
Lu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"You are in such a hurry to find the little mushrooms, are you short of manpower?"
Lu Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's hard to explain... I thought the little mushrooms could help me, but it seems I have to find another way."
Ye Shui smiled brightly: "Now that you have your own territory, it seems that your trip has come to an end for now, Mera... It seems that Mostana is not too far away. Maybe one day I can go to your territory.
have a look?"
"Let's wait until the construction is completed. You will be welcome to visit then."
Lu Yu and Ye Shui shook hands, and Ye Shui rubbed his face vigorously.
"I still have a feeling for the Mother Goddess' etiquette."
Lu Yu could only complain in his heart that Vanessa had brought a bad habit to the mushrooms in Blue Water, always wanting to be cheek-to-cheek with others...
After meeting Yin Sa and Xiao Keluer by the way, Lu Yu set off again the next morning. In general, his purpose of visiting Mostana again was basically achieved.
Remind Orcus that the Dragon Slayer can communicate and gain access to the Summoner's Temple.
Leave a communication circle for Ye Shui and push them to prepare before the magic wave comes.
Although he couldn't take away his lovely mushrooms, Lu Yu was nervous but also had some expectations after learning that they had resolutely started to evolve in order to repay Blue Water and his kindness.
The next time you meet these cute mushrooms, they should have a new form, right?
Considering the coming of the magic wave during their evolution, will there be some more bizarre changes?
Lu Yu summoned the companions he met on the journey to form the first batch of labor...manpower in the territory.
Lulu, Sigrid, and Sera went to the Red Flame Mountains to start the construction mode along with the large amount of purchased materials.
The Pope's Tower, which had been lively for a short time, once again fell into a deserted state.
From time to time, members of the Papal Knights in the Corridor of Time would discuss Lu Yu, who visited frequently before, and imagine what kind of stories he told the Pope, which led to the Pope’s frequent invitations.
Purple Star, the nun in black, missed Sigrid with whom she could fight back and forth. Without Lu Yu to take her to play, it would be boring to stay silently in front of the Pope's Tower.
At the other end of the corridor, a tall and thin man in silver robes walked at a regular pace. When he was almost in front of Purple Star, she realized that it was Ronald Reid, one of the bishops in charge of the court.
Ronald Reid, who has been dealing with various prisoners all year round, has a pair of sharp and dark eyes, and his aggressive and cold gaze cannot be warmed by the brilliance of the Silver Maple Sacred Tree. With a height of nearly 1.9 meters, Zi Xing can only look up at this.
A man with a stern expression.
"search."
The Papal Knights conducted the first round of body searches, and Purple Star, a nun in black, completed the second round. Ronaled did not move. This routine process was carried out more strictly after the Pope fell ill, unable to
Accommodating.
Anyone who wants to harm the Pope will be intercepted on this Corridor of Time!
"Let it go."
After Ronaldo left, the Papal Knights snorted secretly, but did not say anything more. They just stood up straighter with their weapons in their hands and stood taller.
The atmosphere of a pleasant casual chat was gone.
Zixing curiously murmured in her heart: "Did something big happen?"
The attendants in the Pope's Tower opened the mechanism of the elevator for Ronaldo. Looking at the scenery outside the tower that slowly passed by, Ronaldo, who was gradually rising, felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Since Laurent fell ill, among the four bishops acting on behalf of the Enforcement Tribunal and the Tribunal, he has been summoned very rarely, and reports on the current situation of the Enforcement Tribunal are often presented to the nuns in black.
The candidate for the Pope has not yet been decided, which makes Ronald Reid, who is interested in competing, inevitably a little anxious.
He also hopes that Laurent will lead the Theocracy for another ten years, but no matter from which point of view, it will be difficult for Laurent, who is nearly a hundred years old, to survive this challenge.
"Every summons is an important assessment, and there is absolutely no room for failure!"
With this thought in mind, Ronaldinho knocked lightly on the door of Laurende's room.
Facing the nun in black who came to open the door, Ronaldade looked extremely respectful, but the nun in black avoided his return greeting and quickly stood aside.
Laurent, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. He did not speak immediately, but stared at Ronaldo with his wise eyes that seemed to be able to understand everything.
Ronald Reid, who was holding the report on the recent handling of the law enforcement tribunal, vaguely felt something was wrong, but he still presented the report with both hands.
Facing the report sent by the nun in black, Laurent had no intention of reading it. He turned his head sideways and his eyes flew out of the balcony, staying on the strong and dense silver maple tree in the distance.
"Ronaled, you grew up in the Theocracy. From a halo to a missionary, you were promoted all the way, and finally became a bishop... Today, you are thirty-seven years old, right? I remember correctly, you are a member of the Theocracy.
The fastest promotion in history."
Ronaled quickly lowered his head: "God of Glory, I have benefited greatly from Lord Laurende's teachings. It is because of my admiration for your deeds that I have achieved today's achievements... I wish to shine for the God of Glory."
Spread to every corner of this land!”
Laurent narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you paying homage..."
Chewing every word in Ronalded's words carefully: "Are you admiring my deeds...?"
“Sent people to infiltrate to steal information about the Divine Chosen; secretly spy on every move of other bishops; make deals with Solon and Sligo in order to obtain traces of Sera; assist a certain princess of Solon in spreading rumors about Sera; self
After falling ill, he used the power of the law enforcement tribunal to pardon some prisoners who had not been sentenced to death and helped them temporarily leave the Theocracy...",
Every word of Laurende seemed to strike Ronald's heart, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on Ronald's forehead.
"Your Majesty the Pope, this is a misunderstanding... It is the same method as slandering Sera!" Ronald Reid hurriedly defended.
Laurende closed his eyes: "The glorious incarnation sent by Sera captured an official in Tanya's territory. He revealed that there was someone in the church who assisted him in spreading rumors about Sera and Lu Yu. This official is now in
Do you need me to find you in the Papal City?"
"The glorious avatars I sent captured a group of pardoned prisoners loyal to you in Crow City. Without exception, they were all released by you during my illness with the promise of 'minor guilt, compensation for losses, and exemption from labor'."
Fourth-level magicians and warriors above. If you want to meet these people, they will arrive in the Papal City tomorrow. Do you want to talk to them about your future plans?"
Ronald's face changed drastically and his fists clenched.
"You are the person I personally promoted. Your work ability and strength are impeccable, but there is one thing that makes me feel very sorry...your ambition is decoupled from your ability."
"You are vicious and cunning, and like to regard small cleverness as great wisdom. As a member of the Enforcement Tribunal, bound by the glorious doctrine, and coupled with my suppression, your advantages will be rationally used and magnified, but if I am not here..."
Laurent looked at Ronaled.
"All you have left is ambition, which is not good for the Theocracy..."
Ronald Reid asked: "What is the Pope going to do with me?"
Laurent said calmly: "Let you disappear."
If Lu Yu were here, he would definitely be shocked by Laurend's determination and coldness. At this time, Laurend was completely unlike the amiable old man who chatted with him.
Without hesitation, Ronaled turned his palm into a sword and slashed at the nun in black beside him.
As the bishop of the Enforcement Tribunal, Ronald Reid knows better than anyone else how terrifying the nun in black is, and he also understands the power of Pope Laurent.
This is a man who has been able to sit in the Pope’s seat and be at the helm for eighty years!
Not daring to fight, Ronaldade jumped out of the window. Under the protection of magic, after a few ups and downs, he escaped from the Papal Tower area before the Papal Knights and the nuns in black arrived.
"As you predicted, you attacked me without hesitation and then escaped?" The nun in black opened the door to the room, waiting for the Papal Knights and the nun in black to pour in and ask what happened just now.
"He is the law enforcement steel knife I raised. It is easy to use, but it has obvious flaws... People with flaws are always easy to control, just like Tanya controls Lulu."
"Lu Yu and Sera are already busy. We can't be left behind. We have to deal with these little tails quickly... At least after I leave, the Theocracy can wait for the magic wave to arrive safely."
As the frightened papal knights and nuns in black rushed to the door of the room, a shocking message quickly spread throughout the Theocracy and the four major countries.
Bishop Ronald Reid of the Enforcement Tribunal failed in his assassination attempt and fled, his whereabouts unknown.
Looking at the manpower being constantly mobilized by the trial court and the law enforcement tribunal, Laurent stood on the balcony and smiled lightly: "I'm sorry for bothering these kids. I have to find someone who has completely disappeared... let Davide replace Ronald Reid."
