Chapter 138 137. Be sure to listen to professionals
The Serra people were confused. After she and Benlong flew to the Sligo Empire, they had just moved into the residence arranged by the prince when a message from the Holy See arrived.
"Lord Chosen, your house was bombed."
It's a very simple and clear message, and the person who posted it didn't forget to use honorifics.
When Sera returned to the Theocracy again and landed on the top of the mountain, she could hardly believe that this was the home she had lived in for many years.
The huge impact of the explosion razed the entire house to the ground. If the magicians of the Holy See had not arrived in time, the flames would have burned everything here.
Looking at the burnt-black ruins and the broken walls, Sera clenched her fists.
The Holy See law enforcement team responsible for protecting the scene saw the dark face of their divine choice and did not even dare to say anything.
Upon learning that Sera had returned, Bishop David, who had a good relationship with her, rushed over.
"The matter is very serious. The seventh-level magician's scroll almost destroyed everything nearby. The fire-attribute magic contained in it is very powerful. During the rescue that night, many magicians spent a lot of effort to stop the spread of the fire."
"The status and power of someone who can possess a seventh-level magician's scroll cannot be underestimated. Now what the Holy See is thinking about is... is this an external enemy or an internal enemy?"
After Bishop David asked the law enforcement team to spread out a little distance, he immediately informed Serra of all the news he knew.
Sera was confused. She turned around, looked at David seriously, and asked: "What are you talking about, scroll, seventh-level magician?"
Bishop David was a little overwhelmed by this rhetorical question. He felt that what he said was simple and clear enough, and it would not be impossible for Israel's brain to understand.
Bishop David was about to explain again, but Serra stretched out her hand to signal him to wait.
"You mean, the Holy See's magician found the fire-attribute magic breath of a seventh-level magician on the wall tiles of my house, and suspects that someone broke into my house with a scroll of a seventh-level magician?"
David nodded.
After being stunned for a long time, Sierra suddenly realized it, and she weakly covered her forehead.
"Tell the people in the Holy See not to check things related to seventh-level magicians, and don't check people from outside." Sera said, "This is done by someone who knows me well."
"It can avoid the magic circle I set up in the courtyard and block all mechanisms that can trigger alarms... I have never given people from other countries a chance to visit this place."
Knowing that Sera had warned them that the intruder was a mole, David thought for a moment and asked, "But what happened to the magic released by the seventh-level magician?"
“…”
“…”
Serra and David looked at each other. After a while, David's mouth twitched, awkwardly pointing to the ruins not far away, and asked with a dry smile: "Isn't that caused by the scroll brought by the intruder?"
Sierra covered her forehead.
"Why would you install such a powerful magic in your home? Do you want to blow yourself up into the sky!"
David screamed.
Don't blame him for being so rude, after all, the entire Theocracy has never thought of this possibility.
After the incident, everyone believed that the explosion came from a scroll brought by two infiltrators.
Sera set up some special magic circle in her house, which caused the infiltrator's scroll to be accidentally triggered, or the two infiltrators used the scroll incorrectly, causing this big explosion.
But no one thought that someone would install a powerful magic device in their home that could blow them up into the sky.
David opened his mouth wide, feeling that at the age of thirty he was already an old man and could not keep up with the brain circuitry of a young man of eighteen or nineteen like Sera.
No, not only himself, but all the Holy See magicians who dealt with the explosion could not keep up with Sera's brain circuit.
Such a powerful magical mechanism must be built a little far away from your home...
Why? !
Sera: "Don't ask, in short... don't ask!"
David looked confused: "You mean, let me tell other magicians who deal with bombing cases, and your answer is 'Don't ask'?"
Sera was really exhausted. She covered her face to adjust her emotions and said helplessly: "Then just tell them that I drew the magic circle for fun because I was ignorant. It was a misunderstanding. Is this enough?"
David also saw what Sera was trying to hide. He sighed and warned with the same helplessness: "You are the God's Chosen. How can you get a magic circle at home that can blow you up? Are you worried? To meet the God of Glory?”
"The magic circle is very powerful. Promise us not to use it again next time. It's too dangerous."
After confirming that Sera did not know who the infiltrator was but deliberately concealed it, David left.
What David and Pope Laurent were most worried about was that Sera knew who was behind the infiltrator, but deliberately concealed it, intending to solve the problem in her own way.
Serra has this ability, and they all believe that Serra can do it.
This is a divinely chosen son whose sixth level can equal the seventh level genius Lulutis. Her amazing talent and beauty are amazing.
It's just a misunderstanding, although David is still curious as to why he set up such a powerful magic circle at home...
After David and the Holy See law enforcement team left, Benlong, who had been sniffing the ruins for a long time, spoke.
"Sela, there is a lot of Lulu's scent here... Is Lulu back?"
Sera looked at the ruins of her home and sighed.
"Lulu didn't come back, it's because I lost my temper."
Saying that, Sierra squatted down with her head in her hands.
Everything started when Lulutis just left the Solon Empire.
At that time, Sera often visited Lulutis's house, teasing her while trying to help this autistic guy get out of the shadow.
However, Lulu was still unwilling to accept Sera's familiarity at this time, and regarded Sera's constant approach to her as Tanya's solicitation.
Therefore, Sera often suffered from Lulu's cold face during this period.
But Sera is such a person. When Lulu gave her a cold face, she became more enthusiastic.
In the days when she was happy to stick to Lulu but got no response, Sera discovered that Lulutis was creating a new defensive magic circle.
In short, this defensive magic circle contains extremely powerful fire magic, but the way to trigger it is that the magic circle is "covered".
For this reason, Lulutis, who has always been unwilling to pay attention to Sera, proudly boasted that this magic circle is specially used to deal with experienced masters, and it has basically no effect on rookies who don't check the mechanism at all.
However, the magic circle still has many problems. One of them is that Lulutis hopes that when the magic circle is triggered, the effect is not an explosion, but all the energy is concentrated at one point and radiates out. Unfortunately, she tried this several times and the success rate was basically half and half.
Realizing that this was a moment to close the distance, Sera immediately chose to laugh at Lulu and said that she could improve the magic circle before her.
Lulu is still young after all, and she fell into Sera's routine at once. Unconvinced, she decisively challenged Sera.
In order to completely tie Lulu down, Sera took out the hard work she had when she just became a magician, testing and improving day and night.
After a lot of tests, Sera felt that her improved magic circle was perfect. In order to provoke Lulu's unwillingness to admit defeat to the greatest extent, she deliberately engraved the magic circle on the dark wall of her study and invited Lulu to come to her home to observe.
That was the first time Lulu left her home after leaving Solon.
Lulu, who came to Sera's house as a guest, was surprised to see Sera really carved the magic circle on the dark wall and triggered the magic circle calmly.
Not only did the magic circle not explode, but the magic power infused into the magic circle was also condensed at one point, turning into a beam of light, breaking through the window of the study and shooting straight into the courtyard.
Sera enjoyed Lulu's surprise so much that she understood Lulutis's subsequent help in checking the magic circle and infusing magic into the magic circle as "learning secretly."
"The magic circle is still not stable, this is not a qualified product yet, I suggest you withdraw it."
Sera did not listen to Lulutis's advice. She just thought Lulu was a little cute in her tsundereness. She clearly lost, but she was still trying to be stubborn.
So, this magic circle that retained Lulutis's magic and could last for at least two years was kept on the dark wall of Sera's house.
After the magic circle improvement incident, Sera no longer had to see Lulu's cold face when she went to Lulutis's house, and normal communication became more frequent.
Although Lulu still didn't say that they were friends, Sera's goal was completely achieved.
Sera regarded this magic circle as a souvenir of her acquaintance with Lulutis and their gradual friendship, and the magic in it was naturally the spoils of war.
After that, Lulutis still reminded Sera from time to time to remember to remove the magic circle. She always felt that the magic circle was not very reliable.
Sera still regarded Lulutis' words as a proud girl unwilling to admit her failure. Every time she heard Lulutis say this, she would happily replenish her "proud energy".
Now she understands...
Lulutis, the explosion genius, is very proud at other times, but she is serious about this matter. This thing is really not reliable. Whether it will explode is just a matter of probability.
You can't ignore the words of professionals.
Sera found the entrance to her basement. Fortunately, because she sealed several defensive magic circles here, the explosion did not affect it.
Entering the basement, Sera quickly took the purple box found in Lulutis's mansion.
Sera didn't have any particularly valuable collections. Most of them were small items that were not worth much but had symbolic meanings.
She rushed back overnight just to confirm the safety of the box.
"This is Lulu's stuff. Fortunately, it's okay." Sera, who was relieved, decided not to let the box leave her side. It was safest to keep it with her.
She kept searching in the ruins, and even Benlong lowered his head to help search, but still found nothing.
Sera's heart gradually sank.
The explosion still caused her to lose a precious and symbolic item.
"Sera, don't be sad... Sera, be happy."
Benlong saw that Sera was in a bad mood, and stretched his head to Sera's hand, allowing her to touch him easily.
Sera looked at Benlong's big eyes full of worry, and couldn't help but force herself to laugh.
But it only lasted for a second, and the smile collapsed.
She held the stupid dragon's head, gently stroked the stupid dragon with both hands, and murmured: "The little fox is gone."
"That was the first gift I got from Lulu, and it was also the only thing that could get in touch with Lulu... It's gone."
The stupid dragon didn't know what the little fox Sera was talking about, and just thought it was the foxes playing in the mountains.
"Sera, do you want foxes? I can help you catch them." The stupid dragon said, "Foxes are dumber than stupid dragons. I can bring them all back."
On the silent ruins, only birds chirped inappropriately.
In the afternoon sun, Sera took a nap while holding the stupid dragon's head. The short rest made her depressed mood much better.
Without the little fox, she could not contact Lulutis, nor could she provide her with any help.
Sera only hated why she did not memorize the communication array in advance, but believed that she could always keep the little fox.
"Lulu, I'm sorry... I couldn't help you this time."
Lulutis's tentacles pulled out from the ground, and a complex pattern, about the size of two people hugging, appeared on the ground.
Lu Yu lowered his head to admire the array, and soon, he immediately asked the classic question.
"Will it explode?"
"No!" Lulutis immediately flew to Lu Yu's head and wrapped her tentacles around his neck. "I've already said that I'm a genius magician. How could I always create magic circles that explode if they fail to be triggered? Why don't you believe me?"
"I believe it, I believe it. As long as you move your tentacles away, I will believe it!"
The mushroom people on the side looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the two gods "fighting" together. A little mushroom man used a stick to draw a picture of tentacles and human outlines entangled on the ground, which aroused the admiration of the surrounding mushrooms.
This little mushroom had previously drawn a deformed fog demon and Sigrid who was making equipment. Those were also loved by mushrooms, and even the mushroom chief secretly copied them with bark. .
When Lulutis moved his tentacles away, Lu Yu panted and asked, "Tell me about the effect."
Lulutis pointed his tentacles at the magic circle, and under the surge of magic power, the soil in the magic circle turned into a sharp blade and broke out of the ground.
"A very practical third-level earth-attribute defensive magic circle. Since it is used a lot by low-level magicians, it has different names. Let's call it the third-level earth blade."
"You have seen the effect. The soil in the magic circle area will turn into a sharp blade to attack. It is the best basic defense method."
"I plan to teach this to the mushroom people and let them arrange these magic circles by themselves, and then cooperate with the tower you mentioned... What are you raising your hand for? Do you have any questions?"
Lu Yu said: "Teach me by the way. I am also very interested in drawing magic circles. Think about it, as a summoner, I can't move during the summoning process, which is very dangerous. Wouldn't it be particularly safe to put a few magic circles first?"
Lulutis stared at Lu Yu seriously.
"I think your messy summons are safer than any magic circle."
