Lu Yu finally agreed with Lulutis and told the dragon what happened to Lulutis.
Then he asked: "Do you know where the countries Lulutis mentioned are?"
The giant dragon, which received a lot of information at once, thought for a while and then replied helplessly: "Although I flew here from another continent, I know very little about the human world. I don't know where I go."
Maybe we can land here and have a closer look."
This...is indeed the case.
After the dragon had digested all the information, he finally introduced himself.
"Let me see...it's been a while since I've used my first name, and it's been a while since I've introduced myself."
He said he wanted to introduce himself, but kept thinking about his name. This was the first time Lu Yu had seen him. This showed that the dragon had been sleeping for much longer than he thought.
"Huo... Gu?" Human beings seem to like to call me this. Although I don't know the meaning, this name does allow me to gain some undisturbed time.
The giant dragon Huogu lowered his head and stared at Lulutis.
"Can't your seal be broken by external force?"
Lu Yu's description omitted to mention that the seal was caused by the contract left by a ninth-level magician. He only said that it was accidentally triggered by an experimental explosion, which also led Huo Gu to have the idea of violently opening the lock.
This crazy idea was actually approved by Lulutis, but at the same time, she also complained bitterly.
"Do you think I look like I have a chance of brute force attack?"
The reason why Lulutis needs to be restored to a human body is because Lulutis' body soaked in magic has a higher affinity for magic and a higher utilization rate than tentacles.
Brute force cracking has always been one of Lulutis' options, but currently she is unable to try it.
"Do you mind if I give it a try?" Huogu stepped back a distance, obviously ready.
To be on the safe side, Lu Yu still asked Huo Gu about his plan.
"Cover Lulutis with powerful magic, squeeze it, feel the power of the seal, and look for flaws. The seal is also made in the form of magic. If a flaw can be found, she may be able to break free from the shackles and regain her original strength.
"
"With the original strength, it will be easier to solve the problem of this body."
Lulutis knew very well that this was not Huogu's selfless assistance. He must have wanted something from her, so she made it clear before the brute force cracking began.
"You might as well say what you want in advance. If you succeed, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I can't help you?"
"You want money?"
Lulutis’s first question is very consistent with Lu Yu’s impression of dragons.
Most of these long-lived guys have some collecting habits, and most of them have a special liking for shiny things.
"Currency is of no use to me. These can only be purchased for a certain amount in some races, but cannot purchase extremely scarce materials. They are just better-looking stones."
"Get knowledge from me?"
Dragons have a very high affinity for magic, and they can understand most of human magic. After making changes, the best ones will be absorbed.
Continuous learning and research are indeed what the long-lived dragons like to do.
"Knowledge is indeed what I long for, but what I long for is the possibility of promotion along the way after seeing a clearer 'road' emerge."
"Lulutis, you are a seventh-level magician. You should be able to feel that in these years, the world has quietly undergone earth-shaking changes."
"The barriers we encountered in the past are being dissolved, the realm of magic that we were unable to break through is expanding, and the boundaries of those unexplorable rules are gradually becoming clearer."
"The magic is getting stronger, the starting point of new life is higher, everything is full of vitality, like a big tree sprouting in spring, everything is getting better."
"I once remembered the strange words told by the eldest elder of the dragon clan, 'When the first dragon in the world was born, he could only breathe out fire. He didn't know what magic was. Soaring in the sky is our most powerful power.'"
"Then, invisible power fills the world. We feel it, we accept it, we explore it... and then we master it."
"However, the shackles are always there. Any creature that masters magic power will feel it more or less on the way to advance and become stronger. There are faint obstacles blocking the way."
"It wasn't until I woke up this time, until I completely recovered my memory and seriously experienced the world, that I discovered that the concentration of magic power was far higher than the previous times I fell asleep."
"Lulutis, you should know why humans divide their strength by rank."
Lulutis said calmly: "Predecessors have summarized every bottleneck that makes it difficult to move forward. This evaluation standard has been doubted by people from the Magician Association in recent years, because the magic power utilization rate and the total magic power are not accurate.
Quantity cannot directly correspond to strength. It can only prove your status, not your strength."
Lulutis' words didn't seem to respond to Huo Gu's question, but they already recognized his subtext.
"If everything proves that this is a signal of the arrival of a new era, then every race will usher in huge changes." Hogu grinned, "I hope this day will come soon."
"In the continent of Mela where I am located, the highest-ranking person currently known is Sayer Lucamia who appeared six hundred years ago. He was a ninth-level magician, but he is believed to be dead. If the legend is true,
If a tenth-level magician can extend his life in a real sense, rather than through a trick like exchanging bodies, then there is no doubt that he has not reached the tenth level."
"The ninth level six hundred years ago was indeed a strong man." Huo Gu stood in awe.
"Lulutis, you are already a seventh-level magician. Don't you want to see what kind of realm human beings will be after the imaginary level?"
"The level of monsters represented by rare items and the magic level indicated by numbers only reach ten. This is because humans can only imagine it. Nine has been reached six hundred years ago, but no one has reached it in the past six hundred years.
Touching that hurdle again...and now, the door to the tenth generation is opening. You, at such a young age, don’t want to be the first person to open the door in the new world?"
The content of the conversation was completely beyond Lu Yu's imagination. Not long ago, one person and one dragon were discussing potential transactions, but now they were discussing the future of the world and their ranks.
Lu Yu was not a fool. He understood all the contents of these conversations.
It was also because of this that he did not dare to interrupt, for fear of disrupting the thoughts of the two bosses.
Huo Guxi rarely spoke before, so Lu Yu thought he was a dragon who was not good at talking.
Thinking about it now, this was just because Huo Gu, Lu Yu and Sigrid had nothing to talk about.
What is conservatively estimated to be a steel and mithril-level dragon, but what people are talking about is a monster that starts with gold or crystal after the rank.
Lulutis fell into deep thought. Even before living alone, he had no chance to discuss these issues buried deep in his heart with extremely powerful beings.
Before the explosion, Rabbit had said that she planned to share some of her views on rank, and it was said that she had also prepared a form. Unfortunately, she was blown into a tentacle monster before she could see it.
However, the giant dragon Huo Gu showed her a picture scroll from the perspective of a dragon, making her believe that the ajar door really existed and was not just a delusion that existed in her and the diary.
This information should have been the secret of a few people, but now it was shared by Huo Gu...
"What you want is to cooperate, explore the secrets behind the door together, and reach a new level?"
Huogu said: "First of all, we have to reach the limit of our realm and explore the limit of the magic barrier. This will take some time for us, especially me."
"At this stage, I can't defeat you at the seventh level. I won't take advantage of you. What you need is an equal partner. When I have the qualifications to match you, I will send out another invitation and let you make the choice.
Do you want to cooperate?"
What a proud creature... Could you please bring more of such a proud creature?
"So you are planning to find a way out for yourself who failed to explore the limits of the realm, and choose to bet on me to get rewards?"
"That is also a long-term matter. My request is actually very simple."
At this point in the conversation, Lu Yu started to have random thoughts.
Huo Gu is so enthusiastic. Could it be that he heard that Lulutis was a seventh-level magician and a girl, so he became interested?
It’s no wonder that there are so many literary works about dragons and princesses that Lu Yu quickly fell into the script mode of Dragon Quest.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, you are so arrogant, and you don’t want to take advantage of any advantage, how can you play this trick?
But in this case, neither Lu Yu nor Sigrid of the Dragon Girl, as well as Lulutis, could figure out what Huo Gu planned to do.
Having said all that, it can’t just be fun, let’s treat it as oral gymnastics after waking up.
"I hope you will take the mist demon away."
"ha?"
"?"
The mist demon shouted out, while Lu Yu's trio tilted their heads in unison. Because the doubts were so strong, Lu Yu even doubted that he could become an NPC who issued quests even if he was thrown into the game.
"Why do you say this so casually? Why do I have to leave?"
The mist demon floated up to Huogu's eyes and danced.
Huo Gu took a deep breath and puffed out.
The mist demon who was blown dizzy was already tied in place by Huogu's magic power in the next second, and he smiled obediently at Lu Yu and the others.
"It's lonely, isn't it? You're not a guy who can stand loneliness."
"Since you were born, there have been no people of your kind in this land, and it's pointless to deal with other monsters, so you decided to be a human being. Every time the fog fills the air, the adventurers passing by will be trapped by you until the fog clears.
Let go...you really want to play with others, right?"
The mist demon fell silent.
"I have seen so many things in this world, so I can spend every day calmly and treat sleep as a kind of training."
"Is this really training?" There was no need for the fog demon to complain this time, Lu Yu did it first.
Unexpectedly, the mist demon turned into a thumb and expressed its appreciation to Lu Yu. The next second she was forcibly transformed into a human form by the magic power...
"Of course, I also have a little selfishness."
"If I really can't explore the secrets behind the ranks, then what I love most is sleeping. In my sleep, I can own everything and control everything... But unfortunately, I can't control the content of dreams."
"So I changed my mind. Falling into a wonderful fantasy is actually the same as falling asleep, isn't it?"
This may be the unique way of thinking about a long-lived life.
Life span is too long. If he cannot pursue the ultimate power now, then arrange a comfortable dream for himself. When he wakes up again, he can still try in his best condition.
