Lu Yu finally chose to get started with wind-attribute magic after being introduced by Lulutis.
The spell casting has high concealment. When condensing magic power, it can be completely hidden in the normal flow of magic power, making it difficult for the other party to detect it.
The conditions for casting the spell are not stringent and require less magic power, which is very friendly to Lu Yu. After all, his body's magic power capacity is really too low.
When summoning the Gundam, Lu Yu sucked up three magic crystals due to too many descriptions and details, which made Sigrid, who was in charge of the money, feel distressed.
Of course, the most important thing is that wind-based magic can travel quickly.
While Lu Yu was quietly improving his strength, Yas III, the current king of Yas Kingdom, was frowning in his palace.
Today, Yas III, who is twenty-seven years old, is sitting behind a desk, repeatedly reading the report submitted to him by the Financial Controller.
To sum it up, it's all good news.
Last year, the fields around the royal city were ripe with grain. With the bumper harvest, the granaries in the royal city were full, and new ones even needed to be built for storage.
Offerings from surrounding territories also greatly filled the granary, and the current food reserves were enough to support him in conducting a large-scale military operation.
Yas III twirled his pale golden bangs with his fingers, his handsome face still clouded with worry.
His eyes looked at the other letters on the desk several times. Every time his eyes touched them, the lines on his face became a little stiffer, and his expression became cold and stern.
He drove away all the attendants in the room. He didn't want the people below to see him unable to control his emotions.
"All the border cities encountered large-scale monster attacks during the harvest season. The serfs suffered huge losses and their fields were destroyed."
These lords in the southern region unanimously refused to pay the annual gift to the royal city on the grounds that the damage was too great and they could no longer survive.
What's more, after Earl Nott's eldest son disappeared in the snowy fields on the border, he began to tentatively build city walls on the border and even near the city-state on the grounds that "monsters attacked and killed people", openly challenging the laws left by King Yas I.
.
Regarding this, at the night banquet a few days ago, he sent his confidants to test the opinions of the major nobles.
Except for the direct nobles he promoted, almost no one criticized Earl Nott's behavior.
Yas III came to the throne at a young age. Although the kingdom of Yas that his father left to him had no internal or external troubles, it was a fragile porcelain.
At this moment, it seems to be standing firmly on this piece of land, but as long as a hand gently squeezes it, this porcelain may fall into pieces.
The nobles hope that Yas III can implement the enfeoffment system safely, so that all nobles will look up to Yas III as their leader.
But Yas III himself hoped to realize his ambition that failed in his first and second lifetimes.
The power belongs to the royal family, order to leave the royal city!
The Second Emperor has been fighting with this group of nobles for nearly thirty years. If he denies his approach, the nobles will only take advantage of it.
As he kept thinking, an idea gradually took over in his mind.
Yas III drank a cup of tea, stood up, and walked around the room.
There was a knock on the study door.
"Your Majesty, Duke Buckman has forwarded the results of the deliberations of the review chamber."
Yas III, whose thoughts were interrupted, was a little irritated and was about to ask his attendants to leave him alone.
After swallowing the words on his lips, Yas III sighed.
"Pass it in."
After receiving the review report, Yas III opened it and took a look.
"The review chamber has reached a conclusion."
"Marquis Lu Yu from the Kingdom of Seris is not a liar."
"He has extraordinary conversational skills, amazing experience, and knowledge that is beyond the reach of people of his age."
"Although there is a lot of information that cannot be verified, we can indeed believe that he was once a pampered nobleman."
Yas III looked at the conclusion of the review court, listened to the praise for Lu Yu, and recalled what the old Drake said when he guaranteed it.
"The Marquis of a foreign country..." Yas III muttered and put the report on the desk.
An idea came out, and a playful smile appeared on Yas III's face.
He signed the results of the deliberations and called his attendants.
"Viscount Andrew will hold a night banquet in the mansion in four days, and all the noble children in the royal city will go there."
"Ask Andrew to invite Lu Yu to the banquet... and tell him to keep a high profile and tell the news to other nobles casually."
The attendant took the order and left.
After King Yas III returned to the desk, he found the resolution that he had suppressed under the Kingdom Code.
He took a look and quickly drafted three letters.
Three knights who were only loyal to Yas III himself were summoned, and one of them received a letter.
"If we set out tonight, if the letter is seen by someone other than the three great lords..."
Yas III took a sip of tea but did not say the next words.
The three knights quickly stuffed the letter into the lining and knelt down on one knee to salute.
After everyone left, Yas III moved a chair and sat on the balcony of the study, admiring the afterglow of the sun and feeling the residual warmth he brought to the earth, and smiled.
"Lu Yu?"
"Marquis?"
"It's okay. Foreigners are more interesting than local nobles. I don't know if they can make those vampires look embarrassed."
Lu Yu didn't know that he was already being remembered while staying at home. Just now, he had just learned a new magic, Blessing of Wind.
The effect is very good, allowing Lu Yu, a war-escaping mage, to speed up his escape from dangerous areas.
Lulutis was speechless towards Lu Yu.
The magic that Lu Yu learned these days was all about saving his life and mainly about running away.
Lu Yu learned the magic shields with various attributes in low-level magic.
He also learned wind magic to enhance his perception and be able to detect changes in magic power in the air.
Lu Yu also learned several interference magics that could interfere with the opponent's magician's judgment.
It wasn't until Lu Yu felt that the magic he learned could basically guarantee that he would not be overthrown by sudden monsters that he began to learn the wind blade recommended by Lulutis.
Sigrid returned home after going shopping. This time, the carriage not only contained a lot of fresh vegetables and meat, but also bought a lot of magic crystal nuclei and ingredients for refining medicine.
Even with Andrew's compensation and Old Drake bringing a box of copper coins for himself because he read the map, it was still not enough for Lu Yu and Lulu Tis to spend.
Lulutis is studying the lower-level substitution of the potion, trying to restore the original appearance through the potion, so that she will no longer be hiding.
Since it was an attempt, it naturally cost a lot of money. In just a few days, Andrew had lost half of the silver coins he had brought.
Lu Yu’s expenses were not small either.
Because his magic capacity is too small, he often needs to take a break after using a magic spell, which really affects the training rhythm too much.
It would be fine if he was simply training himself, but he is studying now.
Anyone who learns to lose a skill just rests for a minute or two, then stands up and continues to lose the skill. This also affects the memory and feel too much.
In order for the teaching to proceed smoothly, Lu Yu could only purchase various crystal nuclei containing magic power to deal with the learning stage first.
Watching Sigrid move things from the rented carriage, Lulutis wanted to step forward to help, but the tentacles inserted on the ground noticed that the ground was shaking.
After Lulutis hid, a carriage stopped steadily in front of Lu Yu's house.
Andrew jumped off the carriage and found Lu Yu.
"Invite me to the dinner?"
Lu Yu took the invitation handed over by Andrew with a question mark on his face.
In his understanding, this kind of large-scale aristocratic social evening is a social platform for the local aristocratic circle. Even if he lost his fake identity, and the Marquis with the fake identity was very bluffing, he was not qualified to participate.
After all, Lu Yu had heard that the party at Andrew's house was attended by the younger generation of various noble families, and the elders did not participate.
When I made it clear that I was temporarily staying in the Kingdom of Yas, I wanted to go to a party like this with the nature of a blind date...
Are you expecting to take one away?
Andrew was more puzzled than Lu Yu.
He didn't understand why His Majesty specifically told him that Lu Yu must be present.
His father who liked to gossip was so unreliable that even before Andrew invited Lu Yu, everyone in the aristocratic circle knew that the Marquis from the distant country of Seris would attend the banquet.
He completely magnified the praise that Mr. Drake said when he vouched for Lu Yu and boasted about it, as if it was an honor for the Turner family for Lu Yu to participate in the party.
Lu Yu rejected Andrew flatly.
He is currently studying and has no time to participate in such social activities.
What's more, as an outsider, what can he do in a large social circle of locals?
His personality is inherently arrogant. In order to maintain this personality, he will inevitably have some conflicts with other people. This is simply causing trouble for himself.
After Lu Yu refused, he was surprised to find that Andrew, who couldn't hide anything, had a confused expression on his face.
This confused him.
He had several contacts with Andrew, and their relationship was good, but it was probably far from the point where he showed embarrassment after rejecting the invitation.
To deal with an upright young man like Andrew, Lu Yu adopted a straight-ball tactic.
"Tell me honestly, will it be difficult for you if I don't attend the banquet?"
Andrew nodded awkwardly.
Lu Yu understood.
He touched his chin and promised: "Okay, I accepted the invitation, and I will be there when the time comes."
Andrew was overjoyed: "I will send someone to pick you up at that time."
Andrew came and went in a hurry, leaving Lu Yu in a daze holding the invitation in his hand.
Sigrid and Lulutis took the invitations and read them.
Lulutis asked in confusion: "Why should I invite you?"
"I'm afraid it's not what Andrew wanted to invite, he had to invite it." Lu Yu said, "It's my business to send someone to deliver the invitation. Whether it arrives or not, I only need a servant."
"But Andrew came in person and looked very worried that I wouldn't go to the dinner... This is something he can't make the decision on."
Sigrid had an idea in her head and thought of it in an instant.
"A nobleman who is more noble than him?"
"I hope it's just a noble." Lu Yu said, "The other party wants me to appear so much. If I refuse, I won't be able to figure out his intentions."
"At least by attending the banquet, I should be able to figure out who is pushing me behind my back and throwing me into the social circle of the local nobles."
