Chapter 556 554. Don’t accept even if you have money?
"Landing? The sea is so vast that it can't accommodate you?"
Lu Yu didn't understand. According to records, there were no records of sea tribes invading the mainland on a large scale in the continent around Mera. As the only overlord of the sea, the Kraken has never bothered to participate in land disputes in many sea areas.
"I have no way of knowing. Maybe it's the new race's fear and fear of the sea monster, maybe it's the sea race learning and imitating the behavior of the terrestrial race, or maybe it's the desire to obtain further opportunities for evolution under the magic tide on land, and we can't help each other."
There seems to be a resonance between them, and the races near the sea are gathering for this unified goal."
"You seem to be describing what is about to happen from the perspective of a bystander. Aren't you going to participate?" Lu Yu was curious.
Coral patted the pearl under her body and stroked it gently: "My people have not yet completed their awakening. They are like ignorant babies and can only act based on instinct. I, the only one with wisdom, have the responsibility to let them complete their evolution safely."
…I will stay away from this sea area where war is about to begin.”
"But we have entered the most turbulent climax of the magic wave. The voyage is also full of dangers, right?"
"I have full confidence in our snail boat. I believe you have discovered that it has a very magical power to suppress demons. This power can even affect the surroundings through the long roar emitted by the vibration of the body. This may be because it is not very smart.
Reason."
Lulu had a thought in her mind and murmured in a low voice: "Stupid dragon..."
Lu Yu also thought of the stupid dragon that could freeze its surroundings by activating its magic power. Although it was stupid and stupid, it possessed extremely powerful power of strange demons.
"Next, we will dive deep and sail on the quiet seabed until we find a quiet place, surface again, and slowly welcome the moment of awakening for our species under the bright sunshine."
Coral picked out a strange bead the size of a fist, shining with lavender light, from the large coral reef behind him.
"For you, my friends."
"Although it's not a particularly precious thing, please accept it."
Lu Yu felt the demon-suppressing aura on the beads and was awed.
"Isn't this really precious?" he asked.
"It should be the crystallization of the snail boat, the coral, and the mother clam that lives here. It is indeed useless to us. It will only have real value if it can become a witness to this meeting." The coral is very free and easy.
Sera and Lulu hurriedly stretched out their tentacles to take the bead. The aura that could suppress their bodies rushed towards their faces. Both of them looked surprised and quickly realized that this was a wonderful forging material.
They want to reciprocate the gift...but how to repay the gift? They are penniless now, and the knowledge they possess seems not suitable for the use of the jellyfish clan.
Lu Yu had no choice but to draw the [Elemental Life] summoning template.
"I'm sorry, I can only give you such a gift at the moment. You guys are active in the sea and dealing with water, so you should like this kind of knowledge."
Coral observed the elemental life template and practiced the summoning himself. He immediately summoned a small transparent octopus that kept "gurgling" and spitting bubbles. Its entire body was made of water elements, and it could dissolve in the water in an instant and disappear.
As if it had acquired a new toy, the purple light released from the coral was so bright that it was so bright that the coal ball could not open its eyes. A halo of light bloomed in the air, lapping around like ripples.
"I like it very much." Coral said, "It seems that this is far more valuable than what I gave you, why not..."
Seeing Coral turn around, the three souls in the coal ball stopped him at the same time.
Coral was stunned, the huge umbrella cover suddenly spread out, the hem of her skirt flew, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of Qiu Qiu's head.
"I heard it, I heard it. Are these the other two souls? Human beings are indeed magical beings."
"No, no, you misunderstood." They said in unison again.
Coral was happy and surprised, imitating the gesture of people applauding, waving two tentacles and patting: "What a strong synchronization. It's no wonder that one body can perfectly accommodate three souls. You are so similar, so matched, and so harmonious.
There is no violation...just like, truly one."
"The three of you have built a perfect soul, which is amazing."
Lu Yu, Lulu, and Sierra were speechless. The chat room was silent, with only slight emotional fluctuations lingering.
"You must love each other to become one in such a harmonious way, right? This is very similar to another twin race I have seen."
"No, it's not like that..." The three of them wanted to explain, but Coral suddenly stretched out his tentacles and picked up the briquettes.
"Is this the 'love' I heard about in my ignorance of learning about intelligent races?"
"Only love can transcend all barriers and bring souls together tightly without mutual exclusion."
Coral fell into ecstasy. She seemed to suddenly understand a concept that was extremely difficult to figure out. Her figure was light and fluttering, and she spun around on the Coral Sea holding the briquettes.
There is no doubt that Coral has a huge misunderstanding, but seeing that she has entered a state of excitement and is extremely complacent, the trio of coal balls do not know how to speak. They suddenly feel that interrupting this beautiful dance is extremely poor quality.
Behavior.
The slender "arms" of the coral swayed rhythmically with the rising and falling sea water at the bottom, clearly dancing in the air, but her posture was the same as in the sea water, as if the blue water was holding her up.
, caressing her, her dance is light and graceful, seeming to fit in with some unknown and wonderful rhythm. Just watching quietly, the melodious sound of conchs, waves of the sea, and fish rang in their ears.
The sound of a child breaking through the water, and the sound of the wind blowing over the waves.
There is no need for arrangement or musical instruments. Everything between the sea and the sky brings its own notes to her dance, allowing her to pick and compose her own songs.
It wasn't until the coral stopped waving its tentacles in response to emotions and landed lightly on the pearl that the trio of briquettes recovered from their trance.
They seemed to see and hear voices from far away, ethereal, illusory, unreal... just like in a dream.
Even if you have no interest in the Hai people, even if you have no aesthetic foundation, as long as you are here, you will sincerely admire: "It's really elegant and beautiful."
This is an emotion and resonance that can be conveyed without words. It is a totem that can connect all the lost souls together even if the curse of the Tower of Babel comes.
"It's so beautiful." Sierra expressed her feelings directly.
"Thank you for your compliment. I often dance with my tribe members. Even without complete consciousness, they can still perform beautiful dance steps with moving gestures." Coral said regretfully, "It's a pity that the chamber is too small for such a dance.
Participation is limited to minorities.”
"But I believe we can eventually find a new home that is safer than here."
"There, all the tribesmen can leave the snail boats, enjoy the moisture of the sea in the sunshine and dim light, be washed by the wind and rain, and float and dive as if teasing them."
In the chat room, Lulu broke the silence: "What do you two think?"
"I have no problem." Lu Yu said.
"So you want me to make a decision?" Sierra thought for a moment, "Then I agree."
The coral stretched out its tentacles and rummaged for something in the coral sea. Lu Yu put the tentacles on one of her tentacles and tapped it gently.
"My friend, please wait a moment. For the sake of you and your lover, I should give you two more small gifts."
Lu Yu's head was numb and he quickly said: "Coral, do you want to leave with us? We are about to return to our own continent."
The coral tentacles twisted up two small purple balls that were slightly smaller than the previous demon-suppressing beads, and said happily: "I have them."
She turned around and stuffed the gift into Qiu Qiu's arms: "This way every soul will have a gift."
"Coral, do you want to leave with us? We are about to return to our own continent." Lu Yu had no choice but to repeat himself quickly.
This time Coral heard clearly, the body was still purple, but the tentacles turned into seaweed green. This fresh change made the trio of coal balls feel very fresh.
"Your continent...is it safe?"
"Generally speaking, there is no unturbulent area under the magic tide. We have a territory of our own on that continent. It just so happens that an area near the sea belongs to us. Compared to most places, our territory is already very small.
A safe place.”
"But that's a piece of territory. Is it appropriate for you to share it with us?"
"You call me your friend, don't you? I think it's very appropriate." Lu Yu said, "In fact, I have also taken care of a group of children who have just been born with wisdom. They are a group of silly mushrooms... Just for a moment, I heard you mention
When my people could only hide in small chambers, I thought of them when they were still in the Great Wetland."
"This is a joint decision between the three of us. If you are willing, we only need to find another guide to set off."
The body of the coral is half seaweed green and half dark purple. The giant clam, which seems to have given birth to some wisdom, opens and closes, and seems to be thinking.
"As you said, some encounters are the result of fate. I am willing to continue to believe it." The green color of the coral body gradually faded, leaving only pure purple.
"Can I ask, what is the name of your territory?"
"Morning light."
…
…
"Mr. Magician, I must emphasize to you again that Seabird Jeffrey is the leading sea guide in the nearby city-states. In addition to those large islands and mainlands, it is said that he also knows the locations of some wild islands in the vast sea.
Just like a seabird, it can always find its habitat accurately and never gets lost due to direction problems. Even if it encounters a storm and loses its direction, it can quickly reorient itself."
"Not only that, he is also a sixth-level magician. He is a very capable person, no less than you. Therefore, you must obey his temper, otherwise the fight... will not be good-looking.
of."
The guide who was wandering around the city-state dutifully completed his introduction and guidance work, and Lu Yu threw him a silver coin without hesitation.
The guide smiled brightly, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together. He bowed and left in a very understanding manner, without staying for a second longer.
Seabird Jeffrey is a forest elf. His home is on the edge of the core area of the city-state. According to the guide, anyone who can own a house here must be rich or noble, and must also be a forest elf.
Throughout Guwel, after the elves took over, most city-states reserved exclusive residences for the elves, and other races were not eligible to enter and share them with the elves.
Jeffrey has many side jobs that require contact with foreign races, so he specially purchased this marginal residence to receive all kinds of guests.
Knocking on the door of Jeffrey's house, Lu Yu was greeted by two young human slaves. They respectfully led Lu Yu to the garden. Here, three or four tables of guests looked at Lu Yu, and some even used magic to try to
Peep into the secret hidden under the mask.
"How dare you, you don't know the other party's details and you can use magic power. The folk customs here are so 'simple'." Lulu complained.
Serra said: "In Mela, it's time for grass to grow on the graves."
Lu Yu softly asked the waiter who brought him tea: "How long until I can see Sir Jeffrey?"
"Maybe very quickly, maybe very slowly, I never know for sure." Seeing the silver coins that appeared on the tray at an unknown time, the waiter shook his little hand, turned his wrist, and hid it.
During the interval between pouring tea, the waiter leaned down and whispered in Lu Yu's ear: "Seeing that you are particularly friendly, I would like to remind you that if you are here for cross-continental navigation, please leave as soon as possible."
"Why?"
"Sir Jeffrey refused to provide this service a few days ago. I believe that other sea guides will also issue statements soon. You have to ask why...Sir Jeffrey's original words are that it is too difficult and too tiring.
."
Lu Yu was thoughtful and nodded gratefully to the waiter.
The waiter is right. Some people enter the conversation with Jeffrey for a very short time, counting the seconds, and may come out disgraced before a minute has passed.
See a figure.
From noon to evening, Lu Yu was finally called into the house. They were lucky enough to be the last guest that Jeffrey was willing to meet today.
In the study room on the second floor, Lu Yu met the famous sea guide of Guwell. He was sitting behind a desk filled with drawings and tools. A pair of dark green eyes glanced at Lu Yu coldly, and finally stopped at
on top of the mask.
He has a beard on his handsome but somewhat weathered face. Unlike most forest spirits who attach great importance to a refreshing and tidy style, Jeffrey is very rugged and highly recognizable.
"Tell me why you're here." Jeffrey turned the pen in his hand.
"I need a guide across the sea."
When the pen fell, Jeffrey raised his head slightly, and an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
"Didn't anyone tell you that I will no longer accept this commission?"
Magic power surged, and in the backpack behind Lu Yu, a package fell on the table.
Jeffrey glanced at the contents of the package calmly and smiled disdainfully: "You think it's a matter of remuneration?"
"I have seen more treasures than you imagine. If you don't take it, I won't take it. Just leave."
A bead fell onto the table and rolled gurglingly above it.
For just a moment, Jeffrey's eyes widened.
"I think it's a matter of remuneration." Lu Yu said, "Now, can we talk about whether to accept the offer or not?"
