Chapter 98 97 Traces Left by the Ninth-Level Magician
Chapter 98 97. The traces left by the ninth-level magician
Even Grand V felt that Lu Yu was a troublesome person, but the Elf King, who also had not surpassed the sixth level of strength, extended an invitation enthusiastically. Lu Yu vaguely felt that the other party wanted something from him, but it was difficult to say it in front of so many people.
Lu Yu did not agree or refuse, but told the Elf King that he needed to think about the travel route before making a decision.
Lu Yu, who was full of wine and food and had no interest in the dance, said goodbye to Heather and returned to the mansion to rest early.
Lulutis once again drew the communication circle, but after checking the information again, she was disappointed.
When leaving the Dragon Valley, Lulutis left a message to Sera, informing her that she had left Yas.
There was no response to this message. Considering that the other party was constantly sending spam messages to me, there was basically no possibility that the reply would disappear on the way due to unexpected reasons.
Through the timing message sent by Sera, Lulutis once again positioned the direction.
"We really have to pass through the elven-dominated Thoresan area, unless we are willing to go around or rent a boat and go along the coastline."
Lu Yu touched his chin and started thinking.
Seeing Lu Yu's hesitation, Lulutis also analyzed for him: "I don't think he can see that you are not a seventh-level magician, and with so many people endorsing you, he will not have doubts at all."
"If he really needs something from us, he will take the initiative to come to us."
"Since you are asking for our help, the initiative is in our hands. You don't need to think too much."
Lu Yu's identity as a seventh-level magician has been constantly "verified" by people around him since Keith. As the status of those who believe in it increases, those who come after him will no longer think of questioning it.
Lu Yu also felt that Lulutis was right, so he simply didn't think too much about it.
Early the next morning, after Lu Yu had just finished breakfast, the waiter from the Grand Empire informed Lu Yu that the Elf King wanted to book a meeting time with him.
Sure enough, it came.
After informing the waiter that he could meet at any time, the Elf King quickly arrived outside the residence where Lu Yu was staying.
The accompanying followers wanted to enter together, but the Elf King reached out to stop them.
After entering the house, the Elf King saw Lu Yu and Sigrid eating the fruits they brought to the Grand Empire, and naturally started talking.
"This is not the best. There are several hills in Thoreson that grow fruits specifically for me. The fruits there are fresher, sweeter and more delicious. If you need them, I can have some sent to you."
Lu Yu didn't answer immediately. Based on the Elf King's attitude, he increasingly felt that it would be extremely difficult to ask for what the Elf King wanted from him.
"No need to send gifts or polite words. The Elf King invited me to Thoresen...tell me what you want me to do."
A faint smile filled the Elf King's handsome face, and his pale golden eyebrows twitched slightly after hearing Lu Yu's words.
He did not explain his request immediately, but turned to look at Lulutis.
After a while, the Elf King said: "There is a strange place to the west of the Kingdom of Thoresen. There, magic is scarce and magic cannot be used smoothly. The deeper you go, the more obvious this feeling becomes."
Lu Yu repeated Lulutis's words and replied: "It sounds like some kind of magic-forbidden item is working. Have you considered digging underground? You might be able to find a rich vein of magic-forbidden minerals."
The Elf King shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the ore related to the Forbidden Demon. We once organized people to dig down, but found nothing."
"Because the interference with magicians is extremely obvious, we have organized many warriors to explore the depths of the mountains. The strongest one is already at the crystal level, which is equivalent to the strength of a sixth-level magician."
"Let me guess, no news from him, right?"
The Elf King nodded: "A whole team of gold-level warriors and a powerful crystal-level warrior all lost contact. After that, many adventurers did not believe in evil and went to the depths of the mountains to find the 'secret'. However, no one came back. "
"Because this area is very quiet and has the power to restrain magicians, we call it the Silent Mountains."
Lu Yu had already seen that the Elf King wanted him to try the depth of the Silent Mountains.
The body of the summoned object is essentially made of magic power. Entering a place like this where magic power is obviously suppressed, what is the difference between the summoned object and a domestic pet?
And just listening to the description, Lu Yu felt that this place had an evil nature. It could eat people without spitting out their bones. The information was unknown and there was no information on the enemies. Needless to say, the failure rate of opening a new dungeon was high.
This is not a game, it is the reality that if you fail once, you may restart!
Lu Yu asked curiously: "Since it is a dangerous forbidden land with no known benefits and no reason to explore it, why do you want to find out?"
As long as the Elf King said that he was looking for someone who had disappeared before, or out of curiosity, Lu Yu would directly enter the see-off mode.
The Elf King looked serious: "For my people."
"The Silent Mountains are located on the edge of Thoresen's territory. They have neither strategic significance nor richness. There is such an area in my country. I originally wanted to pretend that this place does not exist."
"But starting a hundred and fifty years ago, something strange happened in the Silent Mountains."
"The elves and dryads near the mountains reported that they saw a dark, huge unknown creature on the edge of the mountains."
"Then some elves near the Silent Mountains were inexplicably unable to speak after being injured by animals and monsters in the Silent Mountains."
Lu Yu frowned, and Lulutis's fog briefly stagnated for a moment.
"At first we thought that the monsters in the Silent Mountains had evolved some special powers, but soon we found that this idea was wrong."
"All the words spoken by the bitten elves and tree spirits turned into meaningless mumbling."
"We couldn't find the basic logic from what he said, so we suggested that the injured tell us what happened in writing."
"But...the information they wrote was also confusing."
Lulutis's breathing became rapid: "Lu Yu...this..."
"Don't worry, keep listening to him."
The Elf King thought for a moment: "I sent high-level elves from the Elf Sanctuary to treat them. After a period of time 's conditioning, many people gradually recovered, but there are still some people who cannot be cured. "
"My subordinates told me that there is a strange power in their bodies that interferes with their treatment. "
"A power that they can't understand at all, and they feel terrified just by feeling it. "
"Since then, I have blocked the area around the Silent Mountains. However, the monsters in the Silent Mountains have become more rampant over the past few decades because no one has stopped them. After breeding at a high speed, they harassed the surrounding areas in groups, causing a large number of elves to fall into the curse. "
As a king, the Elf King can turn a blind eye to the Silent Mountains, a piece of land that is clearly in his territory but cannot bring any benefits to his people.
But when the Silent Mountains became a time bomb, he had to think about solving the problem.
The Elf King did not dare to bet that the monsters in the Silent Mountains could not continue to advance. Once a crystal-level monster appeared in it, facing the strange curse that could seal and distort language ability, who in the entire Soresen Elf Kingdom could be sure that they would not be affected?
However, the Elf King was also embarrassed. When exploring the Silent Mountains before, the crystal-level warriors disappeared without a trace, and he didn't even know how they disappeared.
The highest combat power of the entire Soresen Kingdom is also crystal-level. Even the strongest group of people cannot be dealt with. How should they deal with the Silent Mountains?
Now, after hearing the introduction of Grand V, Lu Yu is clearly a seventh-level magician, and a summoner.
Although the suppression of the Silent Mountains on magicians is obvious, what if?
Seeing Lu Yu fall into deep thought, the Elf King did not move, silently waiting for an answer.
The Elf King did not know that in the chat room, Lu Yu and Lulutis, who had already set off a storm in their hearts, had been discussing it for a long time.
"How could it be, how could it be!" Lulutis kept repeating this sentence, and his brain was almost overloaded.
"This is the power of Sayer Lucamia... But he is dead, he has died a long time ago..."
Sayer Lucamia, a ninth-level magician, the time of death cannot be determined, but the magic community's guesses are basically the same.
Six hundred years ago, the ninth-level Sayer failed to successfully climb the tenth-level ladder and died of exhaustion.
It is unknown where he died, where the magic manuscripts and countless legacies were buried after his death.
Since his death, the strongest magician Lulutis knew was only the eighth level.
Lu Yu said, "The Silent Mountain vision mentioned by the Elf King is exactly the same as yours, but it is not necessarily the resurrection of the dead. It is also possible that there is something wrong with the things he left behind."
Can it be a scroll that can cause such a large-scale vision?
Lu Yu immediately denied this guess.
If there is a scroll that can continuously release such power, then what is the carrier of this scroll, and how powerful is the magician who made it to seal so much power.
The problem that bothers Lulutis the most is not the power in the Silent Mountain, but the distance.
According to the message conveyed by Sera, this place is still far away from the Mera Continent.
How did Sayer come here, and why did he leave his power here?
"Do you accept it?"
The general direction of the road was decided, and Lulutis handed it over to Lu Yu as usual, but her eager and eager tone undoubtedly hoped that Lu Yu would do something.
Lu Yu raised his head.
"I need to think about it."
The Elf King showed a happy expression and said hurriedly: "Okay, please think about it slowly. Even if you decide not to go in the end, I will still help you pass Soresen quickly."
Lu Yu did not refuse immediately, and the Elf King had already smelled the scent of success.
After leaving the residence, he was in a good mood and called the guards.
"Go, have someone bring some more fruit to Sir Lu Yu's residence."
After a brief moment of surprise, the guard reminded awkwardly: "The previous fruits have been sent to the Gran Empire. Your Majesty, do you want to transport some more from Soresen?"
"Don't bother so much. Send the batch left for me to Sir Lu Yu." The Elf King continued to order, "And let Aesop bring a few sisters to visit here more often in the name of visiting. Do you understand?"
The guards are the group of people who understand the king's thoughts the most. After hearing these words, they didn't know what their king was planning, and they went down to make arrangements.
It was late at night. After a busy day, Gran V listened to the waiter half-kneeling on the ground describing what happened in Lu Yu's residence in the morning, and fell into deep thought.
Of course, he would not arrange means of spying in Lu Yu's residence, nor would he eavesdrop on the Elf King's meeting with Lu Yu.
But it is okay to arrange people to observe the Elf King's expression from a distance.
When the Elf King left, his face was filled with joy that could not be hidden. It was possible for a man who had been a king for hundreds of years to show his inner thoughts on his face. It was easy to imagine that this meeting gave him a great surprise.
"I don't know what he got that made him so happy that he forgot to control his emotions."
After drinking a glass of freshly squeezed juice, Grand V finished handling government affairs and was about to go to sleep, but a waiter hurried into the bedroom and knelt on the ground.
"Nalin, the leader of the Wind Feather Knights, has an urgent matter to see Your Majesty."
Grand V glanced at the clock and frowned: "It's so late... Let him in."
Lu Yu and Lulutis discussed from morning to night, and their opinions had actually been unified, except for supplementing the details.
First of all, they must go.
Lulutis's current state, Sayer's scroll is half responsible. Although it is unknown what Sayer left in the Silent Mountains, it is the work of a ninth-level magician anyway.
If Hogu's summary is correct, there will be certain barriers in the whole world at each stage, then Sayer is undoubtedly a person who has figured out the rules and achieved a breakthrough in the barriers.
Such a genius, no matter what he left behind, is worth studying by Lu Yu and others.
The second is the possibility of lifting the seal.
Now there are three problems with Lulutis. The first is the transformation potion.
This is purely her death from refining medicine. After being sealed by Sayer's scroll, it is directly fixed and cannot be cancelled.
The second part is the contract that seals the language ability, which was made by Sayer Lucamia.
The third part is the magic seal. Whose scroll worked? Lu Yu asked for a long time, but Lulutis didn't say it.
It was not until the last Landlord game that the loser had to play truth or dare that Lu Yu knew why Lulutis was unwilling to say it.
The magic seal scroll is most likely her work.
Because she lives alone and is afraid of being found by magicians, she has prepared a lot of scrolls in case of emergency.
Unexpectedly, the magician who was looking for trouble did not enjoy the seal of the genius Lulu, and Lulu sealed herself first in the explosion.
Classic I killed me.
Lu Yu had a friendly meeting with Finance Minister Sigrid, and the content of the discussion was naturally how much blood the Elf King should pay.
Just as Lulutis began to introduce the income of the seventh-level magician and provide reference for Lu Yu, the door was knocked.
"Heather, it's so late, do you have anything to do?"
Heather looked nervous: "Lord Lu Yu, the murderer committed a crime, and an elf from the Kingdom of Soresen was just killed... Can you go to the crime scene with me?"
Lu Yu was stunned.
