Chapter 105 104. Silent Mountains

Aesop didn't ask what it was, and ate three bowls in a row. He stopped only when he was burping.

Aesop's sisters were more reserved. They stopped after eating only one bowl and watched Lu Yu busy with interest.

Seeing the basin that Lu Yu used to store ingredients, someone opened it and took a look out of curiosity.

"Ah!!!"

A very familiar scream. When cockroaches appeared in the dormitory before, my roommates had the same reaction.

Aesop walked forward in confusion, opened the lid and took a look.

Looking at Aesop's pale face, Lu Yu nodded to him: "Yes, these are what you just ate."

Aesop's expression suddenly twisted.

"Can you eat this?"

"You're right, you just ate three bowls. As long as you know how to handle it, it's all good stuff." Lu Yu said and complained, "I was still worried after buying it, so I washed each one with salt and soaked it with vinegar. When cooking, I added a lot of onions, ginger and wine to remove the fishy smell."

"Don't spit it out. I've worked so hard for so long, I'll be angry if you spit it out."

Aesop looked embarrassed and said with difficulty: "I'll try my best."

Aesop's sister Ina licked the bowl clean, and seeing her sister's pale face, she asked curiously: "You don't want to eat it?"

The kind sister grabbed her and told her what the ingredients were.

Ina's eyes widened, and then...

"I want another bowl."

Aesop looked at Ina drooling and waiting for Lu Yu to serve her, and suddenly wondered if they were not related by blood.

Lu Yu asked Lulutis for a skewer of mutton and sat next to Aesop.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Just like you said, I am really happy after eating."

Although Aesop could not accept such advanced ingredients, the joy from the heart when tasting them did dispel the depression in his heart.

So much so that in the next few days, Aesop kept coming to Lu Yu for free meals, and his sister Ina also went with him.

As for Aesop's other sisters, they really wanted to come, but because the impact of the ingredients was too strong when they had free meals for the first time, they were now full of fear when they saw the small basins that Lu Yu used to hold the ingredients.

The Elf King was recuperating all the way, and he only announced that he had recovered from his illness when he arrived at the capital of Soresen.

The capital of Soresen is surrounded by forests, but its structure is no different from that of human cities.

Lu Yu thought that elves would live in trees or in the woods, but the elves of Soresen clearly used earth and grass magic to build their own buildings.

"Living in trees is also the most stereotyped impression of elves by humans, and elves also need a better living environment." Aesop said with a smile.

The returning Elf King was warmly welcomed by the elves in the capital, and the truce was completely established. He also signed an alliance with the Gran Empire again to eliminate the threat of war. These are what ordinary elves want to see most.

When he arrived at the Elf Palace, a new group of people greeted the Elf King.

The ministers who managed the country during his absence from Soresen were eager to report their work.

I heard from Aesop that the people who temporarily managed the country had a very mixed identity and various factions. Looking at their angry looks now, you can imagine how many disputes this group of people had when the Elf King was away.

"Who are those people wearing green and gold-rimmed robes?" Lu Yu asked.

"Oh, they are the Sanctuary elves who came to see you after knowing your identity and knowing that you are going to the Silent Mountains. They are equivalent to the court magicians of the Gran Empire."

The Elf King, who had not appeared for a long time, came to Lu Yu first after getting off the car.

"All the books about the Silent Mountains have been prepared. The elves in the sanctuary are quite proficient in history. If there is any information that needs to be compared, just ask them."

"There will be special waiters to provide services for you later. They will try their best to meet all your needs, including preparing the items needed for the Silent Mountains."

"I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I can't continue to accompany you. Please forgive me."

After getting Lu Yu's response, the Elf King plunged into the noisy ministers and led them into the palace.

Seeing the Elf King leave, the long-awaited Sanctuary elves can finally come forward.

The representative of the Sanctuary elves is a man with long green hair and a goblin face.

"Sir Lu Yu, please allow us to express our gratitude to you."

Before he said anything, the group of Sanctuary elves saluted Lu Yu with human etiquette.

"All the documents of the Silent Mountains have been sorted out, and all the elves in the Sanctuary will cooperate with you to the fullest."

If Aesop hadn't told him, Lu Yu really wouldn't dare to think that this was a sixth-level magician talking to him.

But soon Lu Yu knew why the elf named Moore was so humble.

"Moore's son is a very talented guy, but because he was injured by the monster in the Silent Mountains, he has been unable to communicate with people until today. The distortion of his language also made him unable to use the ritual magic that needs to be constructed by language..."

Aesop himself doesn't like Old Moore very much, because this person is too purposeful in doing things. He puts his attitude very low when he needs help from others, but when you are of no value to him, he wants to kick you away.

Old Moore himself is a sixth-level magician. He once thought that this curse was just a minor disease, so he didn't take it seriously at all when the monster hurt people at the beginning.

Until his son was taught a lesson by the monsters of the Silent Mountains and could no longer speak a complete sentence, Old Moore hurriedly tried to make amends.

Over the years, Old Moore searched for ancient books and methods, and tried to refine a lot of potions, but none of them could remove the curse on Little Moore.

Seeing that other people's curses gradually disappeared over time, while the curse on his son always existed and showed no signs of weakening, Old Moore was very anxious.

Seeing that Lu Yu began to read the books of the Silent Mountains as soon as he arrived at the elves' library, Old Moore stayed with him and was extremely diligent.

However, Lu Yu did not like this diligence. Seeing that Old Moore was really dazzling in front of him, he politely asked all the elves in the sanctuary to leave, and he would find them if he needed them.

Old Moore drove all the elves away, but he stood in Lu Yu's sight like a telephone pole.

"You go too."

"I can..."

"Go!"

Lu Yu emphasized his tone, and Old Moore left the library awkwardly.

Because the elves had been asked to sort the documents about the Silent Mountains by age, Lu Yu and Lulutis started reading from the earliest records, and Sigrid helped the two take notes.

The first abnormality of the Silent Mountains occurred seven hundred years ago. The magicians at that time found that the Silent Mountains had a strong restrictive effect on magic power, so that it was difficult for magicians to use magic power when entering this area.

As time went by, magic power became increasingly scarce in the depths of the Silent Mountains. Adventurers of that era did not dare to go too deep into the mountains, and no one knew what was in the center of the mountains.

Looking at the many descriptions of the Silent Mountains seven hundred years ago, Lu Yu flipped through them repeatedly for a while and asked a question.

"What was the name of the Silent Mountains before, and are there people living there?"

Lu Yu caught a glimpse of the library elves working not far away. He would rather ask the elves working here than contact the elves in the sanctuary.

God knows what the annoying elf named Moore will do.

"Oh, I know this." Aesop, who was flipping through the materials as a review of history, spoke.

"The Silent Mountains belonged to the Duke of Mel's territory before, but because his territory was too large, he never sent anyone to develop this barren land, so it has no official name."

"At that time, there were indeed some sub-humans of other races who were dependent on the elves living on the edge of the Silent Mountains. It seems that some elves with some physical defects were not accepted by their tribesmen, so they fled there."

"Escape?"

Aesop nodded: "More than 700 years ago, the Soresen people believed that it was shameful for elves to have physical defects. If the upper-class elves gave birth to disabled offspring, they would be despised by their own tribe, thinking that they might have offended The forest god or the earth mother was condemned by the gods. "

"However, this trend has gradually disappeared in recent years. After my father came to power, he tried his best to reverse the persecution of disabled elves by the nobles. "

Lu Yu thought for a moment: "Then did these elves still live there after the abnormalities appeared in the Silent Mountains?"

"I don't know about this. The documents I have read don't seem to record it in such detail, but I personally think that there is no such thing, because those monsters have a strong desire to fight. If you are in the Silent Mountains area, you will definitely be attacked by them."

Continue to read the materials, and Lu Yu's expression became more and more solemn as he read the records about the Silent Mountains.

A total of two waves of sixth-level warriors were sent out. The first wave of warriors carried excellent equipment and sufficient communication scrolls. Since entering the Silent Mountains, they have been in contact with their companions on the edge.

With their super strength, they have repelled several waves of monster attacks in succession. Until the afternoon of the fourth day after entering the Silent Mountains, the message from the communication scroll was noisy, and the voice on the other end of the scroll was noisy.

The relevant records in the documents are as follows.

"I could hear the sounds of them fighting, the sounds of metal weapons slashing, the loud shouts of the team members as they exerted their strength, and the creepy roars of the monsters."

"Standing on the edge of the Silent Mountains, I saw thick fog all around, so I shouted loudly, asking them to tell me what happened on the scene. After several times, more sounds came from there."

"Those were the cries of injured companions, mixed with resentful curses, so dense that the companions in the entire camp were numb."

"Finally someone responded to our calls, but it was not the voice of the crystal-level leader, but a gold-level warrior in the team. "

"In the last moments of his life, every word he said was meaningless."

"The dark purple giant reflected the figures of each of us."

"I seemed to see the most beautiful scenery in the world, and there was only a brilliant stream of light in my eyes."

"I can hear the sound of it spinning, oh no, this is another it."

"I can't breathe, there is magic here, a lot, a lot of magic."

"So warm, light is everywhere here, hahahaha!"

"It hurts, no, so comfortable..."

Lu Yu read the document, a chill ran up his spine, and he couldn't help shivering.

A gold-level warrior seemed completely unable to realize that he was in a great crisis before he died.

After shouting in pain, he said comfortable the next second. Lu Yu didn't think it was a special habit of his. Combined with the brilliant stream of light he said before, Lu Yu doubted whether this warrior fell into an illusion after being hit by some kind of attack.

If it wasn't an illusion, then he had to have seen something too horrifying and had a mental breakdown.

Lulutis was also shocked. As a seventh-level magician, she read a sense of oppression from this document.

After sorting out his emotions and summarizing the information he had read, Lu Yu had a guess in his mind.

With this guess, he opened the archives of the second time that crystal-level warriors entered the depths of the Silent Mountains.

Compared with the last team that had to stop and go because of the unknown terrain, the second exploration team marched quickly. It took them only two days to reach the location where the first team was annihilated.

However, the second team's experience was much better than the first. This time the monsters were not so aggressive, and they would not rush up to attack them fearlessly.

Except for sometimes stepping into the range of the monster's nest and being attacked, the second team hardly encountered any major troubles along the way.

According to the information, the second team had entered an area that had never been explored in the Silent Mountains on the fourth day, and they only needed to walk for another day or so to enter the central area.

The well-trained warrior team set up camp, assigned night shifts, and laid traps. Every task was arranged in a way that was impeccable. It was also because of this that the second team was able to pass the information to the outside of the Silent Mountains when the crisis came at midnight.

"The dazzling purple light in the darkness illuminated the entire camp. It was too bright, too bright, and we couldn't open our eyes."

"I felt like my eyes were burned by flames, and all my companions were crying."

"The earth was shaking, and something very huge was approaching, but the phosphorescent dust we threw couldn't illuminate anything. It was pitch black all around, and we couldn't even find the outline of the giant."

"No, there was nothing there just now, how did he appear! God of the forest, what on earth is this thing? Shoot with bows and crossbows, don't let him get close!"

"Where does this magic come from? We are at the edge of the Silent Mountains, where there shouldn't be magic."

"This is... impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Report to the elders. We are fighting with Cecil's first team. Repeat, we are fighting with the first team."

"Something is breaking out from the ground..."

"Some of them have no hands, some have no eyes, some have no feet... I can see maggots wriggling in their mouths... How is this possible? Why can they use magic on us?"

"Elder, these guys have a thousand hands!"

"Run!"
