Chapter 254 253 Have You Seen It?

Chapter 254 253. Have you seen it?

A banquet, the guests and hosts were all happy. When they were leaving, standing in front of the magnificent mansion, a group of nobles and businessmen in formal attire smiled and shook hands with Anna, and then looked at Sera who was standing in the distance and toasting to them, bowed politely, turned around with a smile and a red face and left.

By renting the mansion to Lu Yu's marquis, Sera invited all the local forces that might be involved in the establishment of the welfare home, and explained her intentions in the banquet.

Those who hope to become famous through the welfare home can come to her with a small amount of supplies, coordinate the work, and "decorate the facade" for them to solve.

Sera's words are so naked.

"The welfare home is an important place for preaching in our country, and we know how to decorate the 'facade' better than everyone here."

Perhaps it was the first time that a god's chosen one had so bluntly blackened his own god and country, or perhaps it was surprised by Sera's bluntness, the scene was silent, but applause broke out soon after.

No one here talks about charity, nor is anyone too lazy to talk about welfare. They are all talking about interests. If you seriously follow Clorens's requirements to build a welfare home, and talk about love and peace in the conversation, everyone will look at you with a sneer.

How could there be such a fool in the world, spending real money just to save a group of poor people who can't make money?

In order to preach, so willing to spend money to open the way, this reason seems to be a lot of words.

Lu Yu thinks that Lulu should look more at how Sera handles things. There is no need to say too much. She can accurately grasp everyone's pain points and then throw out a condition that makes them very excited.

People will always subconsciously find a reason to rationalize what seems unreasonable to them, so as to maintain their worldview and values ​​from being impacted.

A lamb running out of a group of wolves will look very abrupt, but if you know how to disguise it, it will be different. Sera, who has been chosen by God in the Church, naturally has full skills in this regard. Therefore, when discussing the division of interests, everyone is as friendly as friends who have known each other for many years.

Back at his own house, Lu Yu saw two dirty slaves in the courtyard biting a piece of roasted meat.

Seeing so many people appear at once, the two slaves' faces changed drastically, but their mouths did not slow down, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to eat in the next second, and they were wolfing down.

Sigrid was about to report, Lu Yu pinched his nose and waved his hand: "Let them wash first."

It's not that Lu Yu is hypocritical, but these two people are too dirty. You can smell a clear sour smell when you get closer, as if they are wearing a wet and smelly socks armor that has been walking all day.

Lu Yu doesn't understand why the slave trader is so unqualified. Slaves are your goods. What you should do is to show the slaves in their best condition so that customers can choose them carefully. Even if Sigrid is such a dangerous guy, the merchant who sells her still keeps her clean.

After washing, Anna changed them into a decent set of clothes. Lu Yu and his party, who were discussing the return to the Mela Continent, turned their attention to the two slaves.

Most of the slaves that can be brought to Borne City by slave traders for sale in places like this, which has a large port and is crowded with merchants, have certain advantages. Otherwise, they will be sold at random during transportation. The two in front of him at least have good looks.

Lu Yu looked at the two identical faces and asked in surprise: "A pair of sisters?"

"Yes, and they are vampires. You can only buy them together. The merchant said that he will not be responsible for any accidents that happen if you sell them alone."

"You look as dangerous as you did at the beginning." Lu Yu teased, "By the way, the vampires will not bite the people in the welfare home in a hurry."

The vampire girl who looked like the elder sister stood up and answered coldly: "According to the agreement between Sigrid and me, as long as you work hard for the welfare home, you can get freedom. Compared with freedom, food is nothing. Also, don't say such ridiculous things. Vampires can't live without blood."

As she said that, she picked up a piece of meat beside her and chewed it, her eyes full of contempt.

Sera was happy: "Lu Yu, you are despised, and by a child who has not been evaluated by two mithrils."

Lulu said without any surprise: "Come and listen to me to introduce you to some common sense of the vampires in the evening, so as not to embarrass yourself."

Lu Yu touched his chin and said: "Sigrid, the person you chose..."

Sigrid became nervous.

"It's quite interesting. I think there is no problem. Sera, Lulu, what do you think?"

"I have no problem."

"Me too, but the contract still needs to be signed. After all, we probably won't come back here for some time in the future."

Sera took out two soul contracts from the newly bought box and locked the twins.

"The time is two years. Perform well. After two years, you can go wherever you want." Sera threw the soul contract to Anna and continued to drink her juice.

Seeing that Lu Yu was still staring at the twins of the vampire clan, Sera smiled playfully: "Want to try it?"

Lu Yu didn't expect Sera to be able to see this, and said honestly: "I'm curious, I really want to try it."

Sera was stunned, she continued to ask uncertainly: "Now, in front of Lulu?"

Lu Yu called Xu Yu down from the roof, and then asked with a puzzled look: "Does it depend on the time to try this? The suppression power of the dragon slayer should not be different from morning, noon and night, right? It's okay in front of Lulu, I think she should want to know too."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and then they understood what the other party was saying.

This was the second time that Lu Yu and Sera both found that there would always be some subtle misunderstandings in their conversations.

Lu Yu covered his face, and Sera turned his head away in boredom. Only Lulu and Sigrid looked at each other blankly. They didn't know what the two were talking about. It felt like they were talking about the same thing, but it felt a little different.

The twins of the blood clan looked at Xu Yu, who had the breath of the blood clan, and felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. However, this intimacy disappeared the moment Xu Yu's magic power leaked.

The trembling in their souls made them tremble all over. They wanted to escape, but their limbs were out of control, and even the magic power in their bodies lost contact at this moment.

Looking at the frightened expressions of the twins of the blood clan, Lu Yu called Xu Yu back.

The knowledgeable Sera couldn't help but exclaimed: "Just leaking a little magic power can cause such an impact, suppressing a race... Such a summon is really unheard of."

Lu Yu also began to understand why the dragons of Mostana were so cowardly.

At the same level, the dragon slayer may not be affected so strongly, but the suppression effect on the power level will prevent him from exerting his full strength.

Lu Yu really hopes to have an actual battle to try how powerful the enemy can be against when Xu Yu goes all out, but according to Sera's plan, they actually don't have many days left in Colai.

The Pope's messenger came to Borne City with a lot of recent news about the Mera Continent, and finally found Sera who was resting after asking.

During the time when Sera was traveling, the Pope Laurende of the Silver Maple Holy Church was seriously ill and in a coma. Unlike before, Laurende could not get up from the bed after falling ill this time. His vitality was rapidly withering, and the things he saw in his dreams were no longer the glorious god he believed in all his life, but countless and confusing affairs.

After sending the messenger away, Sera opened a large number of letters, trying to have a basic understanding of the current situation before rushing back to Mera, but the more she read, the more her head hurt.

Lulu, who wanted to help Sera share some of the burden, volunteered to help sort out the news, and then Lu Yu saw her and Sera struggling together.

The Mela Continent has not been peaceful recently.

The Pope is seriously ill in the Church, and there are undercurrents within. Before Pope Laurende died, it was still unknown whether the successor would be appointed or elected. The Pope could still walk around, and there were no problems within the Church. Now the Pope is bedridden, and the bishops and high priests are ready to move.

Sera is not sure how many of the high-level believers in the Church are, but if you say they don't believe in God, Sera thinks there are definitely a lot of them.

Solon, the squirrels in the Civita area officially rebelled, and one of the main reasons that forced these squirrels to rebel was Solon's cruel oppression. About a year ago, the nobles in the Civita area and the envoys sent by the emperor were killed by an unknown warrior. The overly powerful force shocked Solon, and also made the Solon royal family send a stronger team to investigate the truth.

However, the warrior's method was clean and neat, leaving no traces that could be traced, which made the special envoys with the royal mission very impatient, and then they took some measures against the squirrels in the Civita area that were not suitable for writing reports to the emperor.

After that, this powerful warrior appeared in several border cities of Solon one after another, killing many nobles, and even the fifth-level magician team was no match for him. The way of death was still a sword to the throat, fast, accurate and ruthless.

Although it can be confirmed that the murderer is not the squirrels in Civita, he was tormented by the special envoy, and the newly enfeoffed lord was a descendant of Solon's royal city nobles, who looked down on the foreign races on the border who "snatched" Solon's light, so he continued the perverse behavior of the previous lord.

He forced the squirrels to do the most laborious work, letting them collect corrosive ores for alchemy without protection, and also downgraded their status in the city-state, forcing them to be unable to operate funds through formal channels, and a large number of shops closed down as a result.

Not only were the taxes higher than those of ordinary people, but they also suffered more discrimination. The anger of the Civita squirrels finally reached its peak after a year of accumulation. They captured the city-states of all sizes in the Civita area, declared that the entire territory was independent of Solon's rule, and hung the entire family of the city lord who repeatedly exploited the squirrels and liked to make ornaments with their tails on the wall and sun-dried them to death.

Hearing this way of death, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel thirsty, and he didn't know if this was considered a "hanging street lamp" limited to the Civita area.

When the messenger of the Church brought the information, Solon's army had already approached the Civita area, and the first battle to suppress the rebellion was about to begin.

The throne of Kodzoen was initially determined, and the nobles in the territory did not have much awe for the young king. They only paid taxes because of Kodzoen's elite direct line "Shadow Guard", but the tax amount was reduced by nearly half compared to when the old king was in power.

It is said that the new king of Kodzoen has sent out the Shadow Guard. He does not intend to wait for the other half of the tax to be sent to the capital, but intends to collect it personally.

Three of the four major countries are smoking. Lu Yu does not know whether to say that this is the excellent matching mechanism of the region or that the historical cycle has come.

In such an environment, it is really difficult for Lulu to create a manor of her own in peace and stability. They have to face not only the pressure of land reclamation and development, but also the survival pressure brought by the surrounding countries and races.

It is a good thing to circle the land and grow by yourself, but before you can be self-sufficient, you still have to rely on the surrounding countries.

Lu Yu was sharp-eyed and saw a piece of information in the pile of information.

"The Forbidden Magic Sect..." Lu Yu continued reading, "The Forbidden Magic Sect's philosophy is developing, and now a more popular magic weakening theory has been born. They believe that magic will gradually weaken over time, and a world without magic will eventually come, and that world is their utopia."

"Sera, what is this Forbidden Magic Sect?"

Sera, who sorted out the information, raised her head and took a look: "The people of the Forbidden Magic Sect believe that magic has created all the injustices in this world. As long as magic disappears, a world where everyone is equal and will not be oppressed or exploited will also come."

Lu Yu sighed: "It's a bit naive."

Lu Yu did not mean to further ridicule. The people here were restricted by the environment and the times and could not see other possibilities.

Sera somehow regained her interest, and asked, "Which part of their view do you think is naive? I think their statement is not so absolute, so it can be regarded as correct."

Sera continued to say, "Magic does create unfairness, which cannot be denied. Magicians and ordinary people are almost two different kinds of life. To be honest, it is hard for me to imagine what the social structure of the world will change into if magic continues to develop. Or when the magic power is strong enough, everyone in this world can learn magic?"

Is there a difference between the low magic world and the high magic world? However, considering the existence of knowledge barriers, even if ordinary people can learn magic, they can't compete with magicians with background, unless every magician is willing to "open source" his knowledge.

It's impossible to think about it. After all, the school struggle in this world is still playing the knowledge blockade. They wish to take all the unique magic and experience into the soil and bury them tightly, so that future generations can only see the records and then exclaim "awesome", but they can't find a way to learn no matter what.

"Actually, I was laughing at their belief that without magic, they could have a world where no one would be oppressed or exploited."

"We have never seen what other worlds look like. Why do you think a world without magic would not be like what they describe? Have you seen it?"

Lu Yu smiled but did not answer.
