Chapter 193 192. The Blood of Farming
After being trapped in the world of white light for three days, Lu Yu finally woke up.
He was completely unable to mobilize his magic power.
His body was so sore that he couldn't stand.
He wanted to pick up something with his hands but found that he couldn't use any strength.
Lu Yu felt that he had suddenly turned from a healthy person to a disabled person.
Sigrid's exclamation made the fog demon sleeping on the roof fly down immediately. The two people hurriedly helped Lu Yu sit up, and then made a bowl of porridge according to Lu Yu's request.
He had not eaten for three days, and the previous confrontation with the piano at the level of consciousness made him so weak that after the first mouthful of porridge, a gas surged in his stomach and then vomited it all out.
After repeated attempts, the weak Lu Yu could only choose to drink the medicinal soup boiled with medicinal herbs collected by the mushroom people.
The weak Lu Yu rested for a week before his body was restored to its original state. However, as soon as he fell asleep, he would fall back into the world full of white light. This situation lasted for half a month before it finally ended.
Full of doubts, Lu Yu tried to find Lulutis to answer some questions, but since she turned into a fire giant, Lulutis has never woken up again.
Through the chat room still connected in his mind, Lu Yu knew that Lulutis was not dead, but her deep sleep made everyone more and more anxious.
Lu Yu knew nothing about the magic used by Lulutis, and the only rabbit he could ask for help was inexplicably out of contact.
In desperation, Lu Yu had to use the magic taught by Lulutis to wake up Huogu, who had already fallen asleep.
Huogu on the other side of the magic circle listened to the description and pondered for a long time, saying: "At the beginning, I helped her break the seal physically, considering the limit of her body, so I only broke it to the third level. Do you remember?"
"I remember." Lu Yu nodded quickly.
"According to my intuition, her body can only withstand a high-level magic of the sixth-level dragon clan at most. Considering that the mostar rank standard you mentioned may not be so strict, that is, not as good as the dragon clan... I don't think a summoner can break the seal of the fifth level with external force, at most it is the fourth level."
"The fire giant you mentioned, just looking at the description, is no longer in the scope of ordinary magic. This special method of fine control of magic should be above the sixth level."
Lu Yu was dumbfounded.
"The fourth level releases magic above the sixth level... Is this possible?"
"Normally, it can't be done, but considering that Lulu is a seventh-level magician, and she is also a guy with amazing talent, she may have her own way to cross the threshold of magic and forcibly release magic far beyond the body's load, but..."
Hogu's heavy breath came first through the magic circle. This meaningless news made Lu Yu's heart sink suddenly.
The second message played also confirmed what Lu Yu thought in his heart.
"Due to communication problems, I won't explain to you the difficulty and danger of low-level magicians releasing high-level magic. You just need to know that Lulu definitely paid a certain price to gain the power to use high-level magic in a sealed state."
Holding the unconscious Lulutis, Lu Yu was silent.
The fog demon asked Huo Gu with a guilty conscience: "Lulu won't sleep like this forever, right?"
"I can't answer this question. After all, no one knows what means she used. The best way is to let the person who knows her magic best help solve the problem."
The person who knows Lulutis best, isn't that Rabbit?
But Rabbit can't be contacted no matter what!
Lu Yu gritted his teeth: "I understand, I'll think of a way next."
Hogu reminded: "It would be great if you also knew mental magic, so you could try to wake it up through the 'chat room' she left behind. Unfortunately, you are only a second-level magician now, and your magic power is not enough... Stop for a while, don't go forward. You are a second-level magician with no self-protection ability. Without Lulutis, how are you going to deal with danger? Continue to rely on your summons?"
"Have you ever thought that your summons are also double-edged swords? Although you can achieve excellent results every time you use them, as a summoner, you are completely waiting to die after paying the price. Now you are like a child who has high-level magic but is unable to use it better."
Hogu's words were very harsh, but Lu Yu knew that he was caring about himself.
There is no problem in hoping to save Lulutis, but if you continue to move forward rashly without wanting to improve your strength first, the danger that follows you will not give Lu Yu any room for error.
"Thank you. I will postpone my trip and try to practice ordinary self-defense magic."
"In fact, it might be good for you not to be a summoner. You have a good learning ability... Maybe summoning is a dead end, just like a warrior. It will be submerged by other branches of magic bit by bit. It's just a matter of time. The efforts you make may be short-lived... There is hope, and then disappointment, which is the real despair, Lu Yu... Be mentally prepared. After all, you have Lulu who cares about you very much. She can make you a qualified magician."
Lu Yu did not tell Huo Gu about his experience in the white light world, because he still had many questions to be answered, so he chose to perfunctorily respond to Huo Gu's further concern.
After disconnecting, Lu Yu handed the light Lulu to the mist demon to take care of.
He had no time to waste. Before the arrival of spring, he needed to learn the Kolai language and be evaluated as a third-level magician.
The reconstruction of Blue Water City is proceeding in an orderly manner. After a great battle, Blue Water and Moon Shadow gained the respect of all the major races in the south. For this group of people who dared to face Selel's army directly and finally won a great victory with less fighting and more fighting. , the elves even sent envoys to bring a large amount of materials as rewards.
However, Blue Water City does not need these materials for the time being. After all, after the crisis has been temporarily resolved, the various tribes who have been sheltering at the edge of the wetland have begun to return in an orderly manner to help everyone rebuild Blue Water City on the ruins.
Regarding this point, Lelin felt that it was too risky, because the war was not over yet, and Selel might launch a new round of attack at any time.
So Lu Yu gathered everyone and settled an account for them.
Serier currently has about 500,000 troops on the third front, and the most conservative estimate of the logistics team responsible for transporting food is at least 100,000, which means the total number is 600,000.
Of course, Lu Yu did not count slaves here. After all, slaves were not considered human beings in Serer.
Assuming that the food consumed by one person per day is conservatively calculated as one kilogram, then 600,000 people will eat 600 tons of food in one day without doing anything.
Throughout the winter, in order to confront each other on the front line, these armies were unable to retreat and could only continue to push forward. In three months, Seler consumed 54,000 tons of food without any obvious fighting.
Lu Yu's calculation was already on a conservative basis, because the figure of 600,000 people did not include horses. Even with the help of magic, Lu Yu calculated that the number of people needed to transport the materials was much smaller.
Moreover, in the cold winter, it is difficult for adults to eat only two kilograms of food a day. The cold requires calorie supplements, and people who eat less may not even be able to endure it, not to mention that there may be temporary arrangements at any time, which will accelerate calorie loss.
Once the war machine starts running, it will be a gold-eating beast. Food and materials are like being thrown into a bottomless pit. Even if you know that they will be wasted, you no longer have the right to choose not to invest.
Although there is no census and no specific population data in Serier, this does not prevent Lu Yu from continuing to calculate the next data.
Six hundred thousand people went on an expedition, 99.9% of which were men. During the period when the men went on an expedition, the same number of women in Serel theoretically had no chance of pregnancy, and population was the most precious thing in every country in a feudal state. Wealth is the foundation of everything.
Of course these are not the most important.
Although Selier is a trading country, trade cannot meet domestic food needs, so they are also farming and grazing.
Spring is coming, and 600,000 young people are wasting away on the front lines, doing nothing. Can domestic farming continue normally?
Magic is not so convenient. As a master, a magician will not do such a lowly thing personally. In the end, those who engage in farming are still on the front lines with gold-plated nobles, knights who work hard to block guns, and ordinary people who are Captured slaves.
Although there are many slaves in Serel, can there really be 600,000 to fill this gap?
Moreover, Bidilis hoped that the war could divert internal conflicts. However, the disastrous defeat in Blue Water City would inevitably shake his own prestige. The nobles who were originally unable to express their objections during the war also had the opportunity to express their opinions.
Lu Yu didn't give any judgment, but everyone had an answer in their mind.
Once the spring plowing begins, green sprouts sprout on the earth, and the warm spring breeze melts the snow and restores life to the fertile land, then even if there are still people who want to attack Selier, the uneasy people in the country will stand up one after another to oppose it.
With a disastrous defeat in Blue Water City ahead, Serier's fanatical march momentum has been extinguished in half. The next time they discuss whether to advance further, I am afraid that everyone in the Serier nobles will have concerns.
Of course everyone will shout slogans if they can win, but if they lose...then they have to think about whether it is worth coming.
Lelin sighed heavily: "Then let's build the city. The city walls have been demolished, which is convenient for expansion... The Blue Water City used to be so small and awkward, so make it bigger this time. After all, the surrounding tribes will probably travel frequently in the city. Therefore, we can’t let them not even have the qualifications to buy land, right?”
Lelin, who has already seen that Lan Shui has established a position, is focusing on the future as soon as she opens her mouth. She must have secured the money to buy the land.
Lu Yu did not continue to participate in the reconstruction process. He was not a civil engineering brother and could not help. Therefore, every day he took little Kelu'er to learn Lai language and practiced the magic skills that Lulutis taught him. Passed.
Sigrid was not idle either. As a physical arts fanatic, she got together with the Moon Shadow werewolves who came to assist Blue Water in rebuilding the city-state.
They were beaten together in a physical sense. Every day after the werewolves finished carrying the logs and doing the carpentry, they would come over to have cordial and friendly exchanges with Sigrid.
After breaking the wood several times, Yin Sa and Ye Shui jointly called a halt to the arena match. Since the elves and even other small tribes were also very interested in fist-to-flesh competitions, there was actually a person in Blue Water City specifically for everyone to vent their anger. A competition ground for excess energy.
Entertainment is necessary. After all, the brutal war has just been far away from everyone, and the tense nerves are in urgent need of relief.
Seeing the rough-skinned Sigrid running back to take a medicinal bath every day with bruises all over her body, and then showing a full and satisfied smile, Lu Yu suddenly discovered that what he longed for most, who had been traveling, was stability.
However, this need and desire for stability could only be suppressed in his heart until Lulutis arrived home.
After waking up, the Blue Water Alliance, knowing that Lu Yu's summons had eaten all the corpses of their own kind, no longer looked at him with strange eyes, but a deep sense of awe was buried in the hearts of this group of people.
The werewolf guards who used to brag to each other became respectful and cautious when joking.
The mushroom magicians who were very familiar with him were respectful in their words. Lu Yu felt like he was being offered up on a shrine all of a sudden, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
Except for Ye Shui and others, the attitudes of others towards him changed significantly.
Xiao Keluer said that many people wanted this taste but couldn't get it, such as the Emperor Bidilis of Celer, but Lu Yu felt uncomfortable, which could only be said to be really strange.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I am a mean person and cannot adapt to such a rapid change."
Anyway, Lu Yu likes to go to Guanggu to set up a small stall again. The boss who sells mushroom meal sets, here, the boss is still the same as before. He will give Lu Yu change when Lu Yu can't find change, and will also joke with Lu Yu that his stall was built with the help of werewolves, which can be regarded as "cross-border trade cooperation".
Looking at the busy people of various tribes helping each other on the land of Lanshui and building the new Lanshui City.
Looking at the buildings that are no longer confined to the shape of mushrooms, but starting to refer to the architectural style of elves and werewolf tribes, and starting to diversify the architectural style.
Looking at the new changes in Lanshui City after practicing magic every day, looking down from a high place, you can find it.
Looking at the buildings that are beginning to emerge like bamboo shoots after rain, Lu Yu is sure that he doesn't like the feeling of being in charge at all. The feeling of boiling blood as if mastering everything is far less exciting than watching a piece of land from nothing to something, from barren to rich.
The banditry of plundering what he needs through war, this may be Lu Yu's most primitive disgust for Celer.
After all, Lu Yu has the blood of the nation that loves farming in his bones.
"I don't know when I can return to Solon. Lulutis, you promised me a lot of things. You just slept like this. We promised to farm and wait for the harvest season happily together. Isn't it impossible to continue?"
Lu Yu hugged Lulutis and stood on a high place overlooking Blue Water City.
"You helped to stop Celer, now you should get up and see how the mushroom people are working hard to build a new city-state."
