Chapter 286 285. What I Want

After Lu Yu left, the six-man team cut off the heads of five vampires and left the Red Flame Mountains overnight.

"Captain, what the hell are those two people's strengths? Did you see it?" Recalling the scenes of Xu Yu's killing spree, the team members were still horrified and couldn't help swearing.

"I can't see it, but facing that woman, I don't even have the courage to draw my sword... She is so beautiful, but her smile makes my scalp numb, like a hideous beast tearing off its disguise and revealing its bloody mouth. I have never heard of such a person among the famous adventurers in Broken Gold City. The ability to kill vampires easily is comparable to the Crystal level."

"Crystal!" someone exclaimed.

"But why would such a person ask such a strange question... He has a farm and a mansion. Does he want to be neighbors with those terrible vampires?"

"Who do you think is more terrible, the vampires or him?"

"..."

"That woman called the man Lu Yu... Hiss, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

"Is he a celebrity?"

"I'm not sure, but I did hear of this name somewhere."

The six people who returned to Broken Gold City threw the five vampire heads onto the reception desk of the Adventurer's Association. The blood-stained cloth rolled down, and the heads were exposed in front of several receptionists.

Soon, professional assessors came to test. They checked the heads, looked at the six people, and put away the tools in their hands.

"Although according to convention, we should not ask about the specific hunting process, but... these heads are a bit strange. The vampires don't seem to die from light magic and enchanted weapons, but rather from the magic of blood control by the vampires."

"Yes." There was nothing to hide in front of the assessor, and the captain readily agreed, "A strange vampire hunter helped us. He has a very powerful vampire maid. This is the masterpiece of that maid."

"Do you know his name?" The receptionist flipped through the adventurer registration manual, intending to find this pair of powerful vampire hunters and inform the vampire hunters in Broken Gold City.

With the revival of the dominant vampires, they have long been dissatisfied with occupying only the Red Flame Mountains and some surrounding areas. The friction with giants and elves, the oath of sovereignty over the Red Flame Mountains, and the attack on Broken Gold City adventurers all indicate that they intend to redivide the territory with the surrounding races.

The undeclared war of the vampires did not hurt the elves and giants, the two directly competing races, the most, but the adventurers active near the Red Flame Mountains. Since four years ago, reports of missing humans have appeared around the Red Flame Mountains, and most of those who can return have turned into mummies.

The rampant vampires have indignantly filled many adventurers with righteous indignation, and they have formed a vampire hunter organization to deal with the vampires. Broken Gold City is also happy to provide a convenient door for those who protect the interests of the city-state. The hut built next to the Adventurer Association is the gathering place of vampire hunters.

The curious captain said without hesitation: "Lu Yu, that's what the vampire maid called him."

The receptionist kept flipping through the books in his hand, one after another, but he did not find any records related to the strange name Lu Yu. Instead, the assessor was thoughtful after hearing the name.

"Lu Yu... Lu Yu... I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."

The assessor, who had been thinking for a long time, touched his chin and walked on the way to the vampire hunter's hut.

The six-member group who received the bounty and sincerely thanked Lu Yu for giving them wealth came to the tavern in Broken Gold City.

The aroma of wine wafting in the vampire hunter's hut made the assessor's mind flash.

The six people listened to the noisy shouting in the tavern and suddenly remembered something.

"Glutton... Lu Yu?"

"Why did he come here?"

They vaguely remembered that Lu Yu's maid seemed to say this during the battle.

"Your blood looks delicious."

The night wind blew, and the six people's backs were cold and sweating.

...

...

"Sir Lu Yu, long time no see, what story have you prepared for the Pope this time?"

The members of the Pope's Knights of the Corridor of Time smiled and saluted Lu Yu, and Lu Yu nodded in return.

"Hey, glutton, does it take so long to go out for food?"

The most lively black-clad nun Zixing jumped out to stop Lu Yu, pretending to search him. Lu Yu raised his hands, and on his palms was a unique crystal craft with a purple flower inside.

"It matches the color in your name. Forgive me. I still have to tell stories to the Pope."

"It took me so long to go out to find food. I thought you could bring me more surprises." Zixing muttered.

"If you don't want it, I'll give it to other lovely nuns in the Pope's Tower."

"Bring it to me!"

The members of the Pope's Knights laughed.

Lu Yu has been visiting the Pope's Tower for a long time. His ostensible purpose is to tell stories to relieve the Pope's boredom. The Pope has been in a good mood since Lu Yu arrived. Everyone has seen that the Pope often takes Lu Yu and his companions to stroll in the garden. Therefore, everyone here has a good impression of Lu Yu. After a while, they no longer have a stern face. Even the two lifeless old black nuns will nod and smile when Lu Yu passes by.

The door of the Pope's Tower opened, and the black nuns and waiters serving Laurende were surprised and smiled.

"The Pope told us to prepare tea for two people these days, saying that you may come back at any time. As expected of the Pope, you are back."

"Lord Lu Yu, do you want more sugar in your tea? Lady Sera said that you like sweet things very much, and specifically told us to remember to put more sugar... But we still want to ask you in person, because the black-robed nun said that Sera would play a prank on you..."

Everything was normal, and every familiar face was in a familiar position. This feeling made Lu Yu feel at ease.

For some reason, visiting the Pope's Tower made him feel like going home.

In the room, Laurent put down the book in his hand. Although his magic power was not strong, he said confidently: "Lu Yu is back, and I am familiar with his pace."

Lu Yu knocked on the door lightly, and after getting a response, he pushed the door open.

Laurent looked at the scroll and pamphlet in his hand and smiled kindly: "How does it feel to travel across the territories of the four major countries in a short period of time?"

"It's too vast. When I was flying over the uninhabited land, I felt like I was abandoned by this world." Lu Yu sat down and took a sip of tea. He couldn't help but sigh, "Lonely, lonely, quiet, night falls, the beasts are asleep, everything is silent, I just stand under the night sky, looking up at the stars. At that moment, I was thinking... What do I want?"

The black-clad nun who went out to bring tea for the two paused when she heard this.

Laurent adjusted the pillow and tried to align his sight with Lu Yu. His wise eyes seemed to reflect the stars that Lu Yu saw that night.

Laurent said, "This is a very interesting question. Many people spend their entire lives thinking about it and feel that they fully understand what they desire deep in their hearts. As time goes by, when they reach the end of their lives and look back, they realize that what they have been chasing for their entire lives is just an illusion. Some people know what they want, but encounter something better along the way, but they have too much on their shoulders and have to choose one of the two... they want it, but they can't get it."

"What about you, Lu Yu?" Laurent asked, "What is your answer?"

Lu Yu handed the booklet in his hand to Laurent: "I am a little unambitious. I thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any great truth. I just hope that those who love me and care about me can live safely and happily in the upcoming turmoil... Maybe I just want to focus on the people I cherish."

The corners of the black-clad nun's mouth rose slightly under her veil.

Laurent glanced at the black-clad nun and knew what she was thinking. He patted Lu Yu's shoulder, then slowly moved his hand to Lu Yu's head and touched it gently.

"What a great answer... That's enough, I'm relieved."

Laurende didn't explain to Lu Yu, and casually flipped through Lu Yu's records at the Solon border, then smiled and said nothing. He stretched out his hand for Lu Yu to support him, and they went to the balcony together.

Looking at the silver maple tree in the distance, Laurende asked: "Have you decided? Where do you choose?"

"After returning home, I discussed it with Lulu and the others, and they all watched the video. We chose... Red Flame Mountains!"

Laurende frowned slightly, and his eyes slowly moved away from admiring the silver maple tree and stopped at Lu Yu's face.

"You've been to the Red Flame Mountains, and you should have heard about the dominant vampires. They are difficult to deal with."

Lu Yu nodded: "I know."

Seeing Lu Yu so determined, Laurent tapped the guardrail with his fingers and said slowly: "The Angry Mountain Ridge was not an option at the beginning; the climate of the Misty Mountains is not suitable for your farming plan; there is the Earl of Evil Beasts to the west of the Fengpei Mountains, and there are powerful alien races to the east; the dominant vampires in the Red Flame Mountains pose a huge threat."

"In my imagination, the Meteorite Ruins are your best choice. Although there are a large number of alien races entrenched there, the relationships are complicated and there are many contradictions, as long as you are willing to use some means to win over, divide, and suppress, you can quickly gain a foothold." Laurent said, "You chose the Red Flame Mountains, which means you have to take a huge risk - the risk of facing the dominant vampires."

"Reason, give me a reason." Laurent looked into Lu Yu's eyes.

Lu Yu did not hide it: "I have a trump card to deal with the blood race. As long as the magic power I can control reaches the fifth level, the dominant blood race in the Red Flame Mountains will not be my opponent. After solving this biggest trouble, the Red Flame Mountains are far better than the Meteorite Ruins in terms of terrain, environment, and resources."

Lu Yu's eyes were so firm that Laurent could not find a trace of hesitation.

Laurent sighed and smiled: "This confidence makes me see myself when I was young. Then do it and make the Red Flame Mountains your home."

Laurent changed the subject and mentioned Solon: "You should know the reason for the chaos on the border of Solon."

"The magic tide has the possibility of reshuffling. In order to get as many reshuffle opportunities as possible, the nobles on the border have more or less their own little calculations. With the arrival of the prophesied magic tide approaching, this situation will only become more and more common." Lu Yu answered seriously.

Laurent nodded and asked softly: "You know when the magic tide will come, right?"

Without any sign, Laurent went straight to the point, which made Lu Yu a little overwhelmed.
