Chapter 315 314 Warning

Chapter 315 314. Warning

The sudden fluctuation of magic power made Lu Yu subconsciously take out his own jellyfish statuette. The small glowing tentacles were the signal for the work of the embedded magic circle.

"Sorry, it looks like a friend is contacting me."

Lu Yu did not shy away from Laurende and triggered the message.

"Hello...ah...ah, communication test, can you receive it?" This was Royer's voice.

Lu Yu replied helplessly: "I can hear you. I forgot to remind you to test when I was in the territory."

When Lu Yu put down the statue, Laurent suddenly asked: "The development of magic tools you have seen along the way is very lagging behind. Many functions have not been improved for more than a hundred years, or even hundreds of years. Do you know why?"

This is really a question that Lu Yu has always been curious about but has never understood in detail.

Take the transmission of information as an example. Among the existing communication methods, the most frequently used by magicians is the magic messenger. This kind of messenger is constructed with magic power and remembers certain specific locations. The messenger can quickly complete the delivery task. Secondly, It is these "information arrays" improved and used by a very small number of people, which are the jellyfish statues in Lu Yu's hands.

If it is an ordinary person, the only way to transmit information is through human flesh transmission.

It has been a long time since the emergence of magic. Considering that the magic power was thin in the early stage, the large-scale use of magic began about a thousand years ago.

If you carefully examine the invention and use of magic props in the past thousand years, you will find that after experiencing an early blowout, many props have begun to stagnate.

Lu Yu assumed an attitude of seeking knowledge with an open mind and waited quietly for Laurend's teachings.

"There are many reasons and they are very complicated, but the root cause is the continuous improvement of the status of magicians and the monopoly of the school."

Laurent said: "As the environment continues to change and magic power becomes more intense, the limit of power that magicians can control is also quietly expanding. From lagging behind warriors in the early days, to stalemate with warriors later, and now warriors must Only by uniting with the craftsmen can we compete with the magicians. After the magicians continued to improve their status, they also began to suppress the craftsmen. "

"Magicians know very well that warriors have now reached the point where they need the blessing of external objects to compete with them. Although the existence of the power of craftsmen will help them a little, it more often gives warriors and ordinary people a chance to kill them. Chance to kill them."

Laurent sighed: "Magicians can't bear that an ordinary person who has no magic at all can pick up a weapon or a device and have the possibility of harming or even killing them. For this reason, they are willing to embrace occlusion and use their magic power to This god-given power is held in the palm of the hand, and it is determined not to be convenient for ordinary people, or even for low-level magicians. They pass on knowledge in various cumbersome ways, and the process is painful and difficult. "

"Most of the existing high-level magics that are spread out, which are what magicians call "universal magics", have already had improved versions. The reason why they have become universal is because they have many 'disabilities'."

"The birth of schools has intensified this occlusion. In the glorious era, the major schools in Mera still communicated with each other, and the improvement of magic equipment was quite active. However, after the glorious era, most magicians can only join one school in their lifetime, and even leave the school. You may be hunted down, and you may want to be "butt-y" rather than correct, and you may want to be closed-minded rather than open-minded. "

"Knowledge is no longer a radiance that brings happiness and progress, but a tool for magicians to consolidate their status."

Lu Yu thought of the gift Laurend gave to Sigrid.

The legendary craftsman Halst was assassinated by a magician just after he perfectly integrated the magic crystal with weapons, and the casting process was lost.

In this depressing environment, even if some magicians want to make improvements, they need to be careful about backstabbing from their peers.

Lulu once said that there are a huge number of wild mages but it is difficult to compete with the regular schools. Only one or two amazing geniuses who improve magic on their own cannot reverse the situation.

What's more, many of those amazing geniuses eventually established new schools of thought and became part of the occlusion.

Lulu got the opportunity to systematically learn magic through Tanya, and then she had the opportunity to realize her talent.

Serah, through Laurend, became the leader of the emerging generation of magicians in Mera.

During this period of time in Mela, Lu Yu had never seen any works by wild mages among the books he read. Most of the magic books available on the market only introduced magic up to the third level, and the knowledge above the third level was only limited to Trading among magicians, and if you really want to learn from scratch...

Lulu's parents love her so passionately and wisely. They must have been ready to work hard on the day Lulu showed her talent, just to let Lulu avoid the difficult task of becoming a wild mage. the road…

Restricted by class and struggling all their lives, they know all too well the pain of poverty and humiliation. Their dignity never belongs to them, and their destiny is also held in the hands of the well-dressed group of people.

For Lulu's future, they are willing to sacrifice everything, even their lives.

"Why are you talking about these all of a sudden?" Lu Yu looked at Lulu's back and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Among the people I gave you, some are proficient in farming and others are proficient in craftsmanship." Laurend boasted proudly, "They are all great young people and will bring many surprises to your territory."

"You said before that your dream is to make everyone around you happy... You think this is a dream that is not lofty... No, you are wrong, this is the best dream."

Laurende stood up and motioned Lu Yu to help him.

The two quietly left the noisy and laughing crowd and walked into the quiet garden. The flowers that had almost withered were still trying to provide the two with intoxicating floral fragrance.

"If possible, I don't want to be the Pope."

Lu Yu looked up and looked around in astonishment. A figure flashed not far away, which made him sweat a little... Is this something that can be said directly?

"It doesn't matter. The incarnations of glory all know about this. Some of them even witnessed the scene when I refused." Laurent smiled and looked at the shadows in the bushes not far away, "I wonder if there are any of those people among you."

"I still remember the reason why the Pope refused." The incarnation of glory actually answered.

Laurent nodded: "At that time, I just wanted to respond to Mao Jing's love... She is really a great girl. For me, even though she was almost beaten to death by the people of the Church, she stubbornly clung to the statue and refused to leave."

"Then the old pope said to me... There are many people waiting for you to save... You should not give up your faith because of personal feelings, and you should not miss this opportunity to realize your ideals and spread glory."

"I finally agreed." Laurent smiled bitterly, "For the ideal, for the people of the Church to live better than before... In order to change something, I tried my best."

"Solve external troubles and deal with internal troubles; force the vested interests to spit out part of it and give it to the poor; even if I gradually realized that the God of Light might not exist, I still made up a more real lie for this, so that all believers' dreams would continue..."

The moonlight fell from the gaps between the trees, and the mottled light illuminated Laurent's old face. He said these things without showing a proud expression, but a tired face.

"Many deeper contradictions were not dealt with until my reputation was at its peak after thirty years in power, and those stubborn people were convinced to spit out the fat meat they had eaten... After my death, even if there are rules and constraints, those greedy people will eventually come back."

"Have I changed anything... It seems so, but I can foresee that this change is only temporary, just like the glorious era in history..."

The glorious incarnations hidden in the dark knelt down one after another, and some trembled and said: "We will protect the gifts you left behind and defend the Church!"

"Did Melias never have the will of the empire? Can't their generations of imperial will feel the decline of Melias?" The Pope said bluntly, "When your enemy is not a specific person, but consciousness, emotion, an unstoppable rolling trend, and the times themselves, what can you do... Glory can dispel darkness, but it cannot make it disappear; a steel knife can chop flowing water, but the water will not stop flowing because of it."

The glorious incarnations were silent.

Laurende's withered hands tightly grasped Lu Yu's shoulders, and amazing strength burst out from his frail body, squeezing Lu Yu so hard that it hurt.

Stars seemed to twinkle in those eyes that were a little cloudy due to the weakness of serious illness. Laurend stared at Lu Yu and said solemnly: "It is the most beautiful and charming dream to make the people you love happy... Every beauty should be responded by another beauty."

"Work hard for the people and things you cherish, and try to change something if you have the spare energy... Even if you do nothing, you can bring peace and happiness to these few people, and you are their hero... Great people will always be in pain, I don't want you, Sera and Lulu to suffer... I hope you are all happy and live a happy life... This road is too difficult to walk, don't take it lightly."

"Time will eventually bring hope, just like the ebb and flow of the tide. When the tide rises, standing on the shore and shouting, or reminding you when the tide falls, it is the greatest contribution to the world and the proof that you are still passionate."

Laurend suddenly turned his head and looked at the glorious incarnations kneeling in the darkness.

"Although you are the will of the Church, please do me a favor... One day, when the Church has to ask you to confront Lu Yu and others, be gentle."

Lu Yu understood Laurent's intention of bringing him out. This was not only to warn him with his life experience, but also to win him a distant protection.

The glorious incarnations were silent.

"We...try our best."

The wrinkles on Laurent's face relaxed: "Thank you."

Then, Laurent stared at Lu Yu, with a pleading look in his eyes.

Lu Yu reacted, but couldn't help asking: "Am I really the kind of person who forgets about the cares behind me when I'm impulsive?"

Hearing this, Laurent was stunned for a while. His throat was a little hoarse from talking too much. He laughed twice and then coughed. Fortunately, Lu Yu brought water with him.

After moistening his throat, Laurende said, "It seems a little too anxious... It's a little unlike me."

Lu Yu felt warm inside, and he helped Laurende walk back: "The teaching is over, Mao Jing may still be waiting for you... The remaining time is not much, so don't waste it, as you said... cherish the people around you."

Back near the garden, Mao Jing was indeed sitting in Laurende's position just now.

Mao Jing's dissatisfaction was written on his face, and Laurende hurriedly explained: "I told Lu Yu something very important."

"What important things?" Mao Jing asked.

"Don't become a person like me... I left you aside for eighty years."

Mao Jing trembled, and his expression softened: "If that's the case, then talk more, this is indeed an important matter."

Lu Yu wanted to say that it was over, but Mao Jing held him down with his hand, signaling him to stay and listen to the class, and he walked aside with a brisk pace.

"If you were allowed to choose again... would you still be the Pope?" Lu Yu looked up at the stars.

"Yes." Laurende did not hesitate.

"Why?"

"Although the glory will eventually fade, I at least left a trace." Laurende said firmly, and then changed the subject, "But if I could really do it again... I would change something for Mao Jing by the way, so that this wait would not be so long... so that she could stand by my side and hug me calmly. Some things, only after thinking about it afterwards, you will find that you have made the wrong choice. It was because I was too conservative that Mao Jing suffered so much, but unfortunately I can't repay more."

Mao Jing, with his hands behind his back, grilled meat for the servants of the Pope's Tower one by one, and the smile on his face was so charming that Laurende's heart was intoxicated.

After a long silence, Laurent looked at the jellyfish statue that had sparked many conversations, and asked curiously, "Who sent the message?"

"Roye Fedina, one of the six pillars of Solon."

"Solon... he should be in the Civita area now. According to the itinerary, Emperor Solon is about to arrive."

For the emperor's tour, Lu Yu's mind was filled with many famous scenes in history, and a certain element in film and television literary works was pulled to the maximum.

"Solon's territory is so vast, and the Civita region is close to the border... The safety of the road and the safety of the capital are both big problems."

Laurende glanced at Lu Yu and said meaningfully: "We all know, so he naturally knows it, but he still does it..."

"What's the purpose?"

"Take all the children who meet the age. This is the first time that the emperors of the four major countries have gone on tour..." Laurende said, "It is very troublesome to ensure the safety of the emperor himself, and the safety of the children... hehe."

Lu Yu is still too kind. When he was thinking about Emperor Solon's intentions before, he didn't think of this at all. He was shocked and sweating. This completely unimaginable guess was pointed out by Laurende, which proved that... it is very likely to happen!

"But... is it possible?"

"Who knows?" Laurende said slowly, "Every emperor's mind is hard to guess. It's not surprising that he is bored and goes fishing."
