Chapter 326 325 Winter Is Approaching

Chapter 326 325. Winter is approaching

The weak Laurent spoke too much in one breath and coughed repeatedly. The slightly chilly wind made him subconsciously tighten his clothes. This action was quickly caught by everyone, and they took him back to the Papal Tower without any explanation.

"I want to talk to Lu Yu alone."

Lu Yu wanted to refuse because Laurend looked tired and he felt uncomfortable talking too much in one go.

Last year's serious illness completely took away Laurend's vitality and vitality. Now it is not the disease that will defeat him, but something that the magicians and doctors of the Theocracy are helpless to do. At present, it is very equal to all living beings - aging.

Clorance, who used his split consciousness to avoid decay in the Twilight City, and finally became a ninth-level puppet master through superpositions, was so strong that he was also dragged down by his old and weak body and was unable to exert the power of his heyday.

Laurend grabbed Lu Yu's hand, his eyes firm, as if pleading.

Mao Jing grabbed the mist demon who was chasing a kitten and gently closed the door, leaving enough time and space for the two of them.

Lu Yu sighed and carefully tucked Laurende's exposed arms back into the quilt.

"Tell me the plan."

After confirming that the shielding circle was operating normally, Lu Yu described in detail the plan he and Sera had made to steal the ashes.

Laurend sometimes thought, sometimes frowned, sometimes closed his eyes tightly, and sometimes raised the corners of his mouth. Judging from the last expression, he was very satisfied.

"Actually, we have also considered whether it is possible to directly steal your body..."

Before Lu Yu could finish speaking, Laurent's eyes changed, stern and serious, but in just a moment, he sighed heavily: "Don't make risky moves for me, if gambling is not the best choice, you will Restraining impulses and choosing to act wisely is what I admire about you.”

"The ashes plan is very good. Let's do it like this. Promise me not to take any risks on this matter." Laurent said, "The risk of failure is something you and your territory cannot bear."

Lu Yu nodded: "I understand."

Doing good deeds is also one of the reasons why Laurende likes Lu Yu.

"Have you ever thought about the future direction of the territory?" Laurender asked. "I'm not referring to the development plan. I've heard Lulu and Sera talk about it enough recently. I'm referring to...the core goals and... Something on a larger level.”

According to Lu Yu and Lulu's original idea, the territory was actually a paradise for them to escape from troubles and stay away from nobles and troubles.

Lulu was tired of being deceived and plotted by nobles. She couldn't tell what purpose the other party had in approaching her, so she simply closed the door and lived her own life.

She succeeded for a time, and if that big explosion hadn't happened...

Lu Yu was fed up with dealing with a group of people who thought they were smart but were extremely selfish.

Along the way, starting from Yas, passing through Grand, Thoresen, Mostana, and Kolay, in addition to the mushroom people, werewolves and demon foxes in the blue water, I felt the rare warmth of this land. Most of the time, Lu Yu's heart was cold.

He tried his best to pretend to be less conspicuous in the crowd so that he could blend in with these people, but he couldn't become them after all.

The land that raised him gave him unique values, but he also knew that he could not go against the trend of the times. The long history told Lu Yu that anyone who dared to do so would inevitably be dead.

Lu Yu did not have the ability to save too many people. Just like the prophecy delivered to him by Lawrence in an orphanage, he decided to protect the people and things he cherished within his ability.

Something bigger…

Lu Yu said thoughtfully: "If I have the ability, I will release some seeds."

"What seed?"

"A seed that can slightly stir up a stagnant environment." Lu Yu said, "Have you heard of Vanessa?"

"Sela told me her story. I really didn't expect that the great Sayel Lucamia would have such a powerful partner who has never been recorded in any classics."

"She wrote a diary in the cabin where she lived, and there was a passage in it..."

"I will open up everything I know to the best of my ability, not for fame, fortune, or reward."

When Lu Yu was reading it, he was deeply shocked by Vanessa's spirit. She had suffered many hardships since her birth and gradually became a magician who transcended the times.

Unlike those magicians who cling tightly to the knowledge in their hands, she tried to break the occlusion on her own.

An unknown accident caused her to disappear in the long river of history. Lu Yu couldn't help but wonder, if Vanessa had not disappeared, whether she could have brought a little bit of vitality to this stagnant and closed-minded magic world.

In an instant, Laurend understood Lu Yu's thoughts. He patted Lu Yu's hand approvingly, his face full of relief, but soon, he smiled bitterly, and his smile turned into sadness.

His expression was so complicated that Lu Yu could no longer find the exact words to describe it.

For a long time, Laurent said: "Don't forget your original purpose. Everything should be carried out without affecting the territory. If you want to sow the seeds of knowledge, then do it intermittently and step by step. Don't throw yourself out." Standing on the opposite side of all schools of thought... National conquests have to consider interests, but schools do not need to consider it. They restrict craftsmanship. You already know the things about warriors. The use of force is commonplace, and vicious methods are endless. "

"The magic tide will temporarily disrupt the order of the school and cause the academic tower they carefully built to collapse, but after accumulating knowledge and experience again, the tower will surely stand on the earth again, over and over again... everything is just a cycle."

Laurende earnestly warned: "If possible, it doesn't matter if you don't spread it, protect yourself... and everyone in the territory..."

Lu Yu suddenly thought of Clorens.

Laurende and he both saw through it-history repeats itself, everything has been staged in the past, and it will also be staged in the future. The only difference is that a group of actors have changed.

As strong as Laurent has spent eighty years, he has only tried his best to hold up the church. For those contradictions hidden deeper, he is powerless and unable to solve them.

Because once touched, the enemy he has to face is no longer a specific person.

That is a monster that is thousands of times more terrifying than the spirit of the infection and the dragon, enough to overturn a country in an instant.

"I also told Sera these words, she will supervise you and Lulu." Laurent smiled proudly.

It sounds like Sera tied a dog leash for him and Lulu?

"Have some faith in me? I want a home more than anyone else. I have been floating for too long without roots... It's time to put down roots."

Laurende did not expose Lu Yu.

Lu Yu once said that he came from a distant country, where he had his family and the land he could not give up, but in fact... he was very lonely.

Just like Sera struggling on the earth during the great cold wave that year - an abandoned wild child.

Laurende didn't care about Lu Yu's past and the secrets he hid. He only knew that the man in front of him would bring peace and stability to the nuns in the territory and the Pope's Knights, and would perform interesting daily life with Sera and Lulu that would make people smile just by imagining.

"Do you like Lulu?"

Thinking that it was time to take medicine, Lu Yu, who was about to feed Laurende medicine, trembled. His hands were quick and did not splash on the bedding, but it spilled all over the tray.

He began to clean up impatiently.

"Ah, it's flowing out, I have to wipe it clean quickly...hiss...why is this bowl still so hot...ah...how come it can splash on me..."

Laurende couldn't help laughing when he saw the usually steady Lu Yu in a panic.

"This question is very destructive." He couldn't help but tease.

Lu Yu decided to change the subject, and he picked up the medicine bowl again: "Or, you take the medicine first?"

"Put the medicine down and answer my question first."

Laurende's expression didn't change, but his eyebrows twitched, and his whole momentum changed.

His voice was so calm, but Lu Yu heard the unquestionable taste, which was the majesty that matched the identity of the Pope. It was also the first time in such a long time that Lu Yu truly felt that the kind and kind old man in front of him was the head of the church with the longest power and the highest prestige in the history of the four major countries.

"No way...does this question need to be brought out with such momentum?" Lu Yu's pressure suddenly increased, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He put the bowl down obediently, and Laurent immediately smiled, which made Lu Yu wonder if he simply didn't want to take the medicine...

Being stared at didn't feel good, Lu Yu sat upright, trying to think about how to prevaricate... uh... modify it.

Looking at Laurent's eager eyes, Lu Yu still couldn't bear to fool him, he nodded shyly.

But then he immediately made additional modifications: "In fact, I'm not sure if this is love or a further step, belonging to love... Maybe you have also noticed that Sera actually likes Lulu very much, and there are some agreements between her and me..."

"Agreement?" Laurent became interested.

"Work together to correct Lulu, let her discard the wrong perception created by Tanya, and become a proud great magician again." Lu Yu sighed, "Sera is right, Lulu's love for me may be partly due to Tanya's influence. She is just trying to find someone to rely on, and I just fill that gap, making her subconsciously..."

Lu Yu looked out the window: "In short, I hope Lulu likes me because she understands what love is... I don't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, that's a bit shameful."

When Lu Yu first found that he really liked Lulu, he really felt a little shameful...

Lu Yu once thought that in the eyes of uninformed people, holding Lulu would cause a certain degree of misunderstanding, and being pressed to the floor by the Tribunal or the Court of Execution should be one of the foreseeable scenes... I hope they can give themselves time to explain, instead of directly emptying the magazine... Oh, thank God, there are only magic guns here without Glock and Maxim.

Sera was very confused by Lu Yu's imagination, and she patiently popularized two races to Lu Yu - elves and jellyfish.

Some elves will always keep the appearance and height of a child or young adult.

Some branches of the jellyfish family can turn their bodies filled with magic power into the size of a human palm. This transformation is completely controllable. Although the highly intelligent jellyfish currently seen have not chosen to transform into humans, it is possible that they will be seen in the next magic tide.

Misunderstanding?

There is no misunderstanding. Lulu is just a normal body shape. Lu Yu feels strange because he has little experience.

Listening to your words is better than being in prison for ten years... It seems that Lu Yu is still conservative.

Laurent was very satisfied. He tried to suppress the corners of his mouth that were constantly rising and almost uncontrollable, and seriously asked the second question.

"What about Sera?"

Lu Yu quickly became alert, like a beast that smelled danger. He shrank his head back, his brain turned rapidly, and he carefully considered his words.

"What...what Sera?"

"Don't you like her?"

Lu Yu glanced at the medicine bowl, but didn't have the courage to interrupt again.

"I like...but...don't rush, don't rush..."

Laurende didn't say anything, but Lu Yu felt inexplicably under great pressure.

He stood up, waved his hands repeatedly, and hurriedly explained: "I mean...no, no...oh, right, right..."

"I really admire Sera, admire her kindness in treating everyone equally, admire her confidence that is beyond words, her wisdom in quickly seeing through the essence of things, her strength beyond her peers, and her incomparable knowledge..."

Laurende interrupted Lu Yu: "I know Sera is very good, what I'm asking is...Sera doesn't seem to meet your aesthetic standards in terms of appearance?"

Lu Yu sweated more and more: "What exactly do you want to ask from me...otherwise, Sera is really charming..."

"Be more specific."

More specific?

Lu Yu only felt that he had entered his father-in-law's house with two bags of gifts...something was wrong, why did he think of this metaphor at the first time?

"The rabbit ears stand up and then droop down, very cute..."

"What else?"

"The red eyes remind me of spicy rabbit head, very delicious..."

Laurende was stunned for a second, then said lightly: "The one just now doesn't count, what else?"

"Also...Alright, she has a good figure..."

Seeing Lu Yu trembling, Laurenende laughed.

"Don't tease me!" Lu Yu couldn't help saying.

"I'm just curious why you don't like my little Sera, I can't help it, sorry."

Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "You should know that she likes girls, so what if I like her?"

"Oh, you mean, in fact, you do like Sera, but because she likes Lulu, you gave up?"

Lu Yu covered his face, he wanted to give himself a big slap, and take back what he just said.

The cheerful conversation in the room suddenly stopped, Laurenende's eyes were blurred, and his sight seemed to travel through time and space.

Lu Yu did not interrupt him, but quietly picked up the medicine bowl, and urged Laurende to drink it when he came to his senses.

"Take good care of her for me." Laurende's eyes were filled with tears, "She hides all her soft sides. In fact, she is also a child who is afraid of being hurt... I am always a little worried."

Lu Yu nodded.

Laurende held Lu Yu's hand, as if waiting for something.

Lu Yu said: "In the territory, she will be happy... for sure."
