Chapter 342 341 They Will Come Back Eventually

Chapter 342 341. They will eventually come back

In just a few days, there have been incidents where rocks fell to the ground due to magic failure and almost injured people. In the first incident, Sera happened to be at the scene, and the nun in black survived.

In the second incident, thanks to the docile and lovely jungle slimes raised by Valen, they were keenly aware of the anomaly and hit the people under the stone regardless of their own safety, thus a tragedy was avoided.

Two chubby jungle slimes each lost most of their bodies due to the falling of a boulder. Their instinct to avoid danger allowed them to activate their elemental power, and by the way, they moved away the core that maintains life and basic consciousness. Although the whole body was quite weak. Few, but fortunately he is still alive.

With the coming of the magic tide, the frequency of magic fluctuations became larger and larger. When safety could not be guaranteed, Sera stopped the construction of the entire Dawn Territory.

The two hero slimes quickly gained the love of everyone in the territory, and Valen quickly received questions about "What preparations are needed to adopt a slime?"

This was obviously beyond Valen's expectations. He bought slime to experiment with various flavors of "juice", but this juice was jokingly named "Slime Chewing Wine" by Lu Yu.

Warren didn't understand why it was wine, and chewing seemed wrong, because slime's eating method was decomposition, the same eating method as dark jellyfish, and Lu Yu should be very clear...

However, it was already known to everyone in the territory that Lu Yu would often throw out strange words, so Valen did not dwell too much on it and approved the naming.

All in all, slimes that were supposed to be part of the ranch suddenly broke into the hearts of many people in the territory as pets. Before that, slimes had always been representatives of low-intelligence monsters, and most people couldn't talk about them. Like - They are naturally friendly to magic and will always appear in some strange areas, causing people unimaginable trouble.

Purple Star carelessly came to the slime cellar built by Valen. Under the pressure, Valen could not resist the attack, so he had to teach her how to raise a water elemental slime brought back from Sligo Ranch. .

"We must not give it to the second person. The slimes haven't divided and reproduced yet, so the number is not enough!" Valen looked at the slimes jumping around his feet and firmed up his mind.

"Valen, Sera wants a fire elemental slime to keep warm. You can pick one for me and I will carry it over."

Valen was stunned by Olga's words. After a while, he nodded, then blankly selected one from his feet and handed it to Olga.

"Lord Serra is the lord, so taking one is the right thing to do, and the rest are useless..."

"I forgot, Lady Lulu also needs one, the one she hugged before and used as a pillow."

"..."

Fortunately, Lu Yu didn't ask Valen for slime on a whim, and the entire territory took a short break. Waiting for the winter festival to come, he could naturally read a book in his room with peace of mind.

Lu Yu held the book and faced the fireplace. On the left was the snow demon version of Lulu, and on the right was the light jellyfish that filled him with light like a desk lamp. The warm heat of the fireplace hit my face, and was gently relieved by the chill of the snow demon maintaining its existence... It was so comfortable, this feeling was comparable to turning on the air conditioner and covering yourself with a quilt in the summer!

The book Lu Yu was reading could not be said to be too obscure, but the content was full of useful information and was extremely tedious. From time to time, he would turn his head to admire "Lulu"'s face, and then continue reading contentedly - this was better than going to the warehouse to look at mountains of books. The rich variety of food also relieves stress. You only need to watch it carefully for more than ten seconds, and all mental fatigue will be swept away!

only…

"Xu Yu, it doesn't matter if you read historical documents to gain insights, but you must hold the door for me. Don't let the mist demon or others suddenly push the door in."

"I know, I know, this is the third time you have said that I am your engraved summon. Am I that unreliable?" Xu curled his lips, "It's still sneaky to summon a snow demon Lulu..."

"You don't understand!"

"Yes, yes, I don't understand. I'm very curious about the book you're reading now. It's an entry-level doll making manual written by Vanessa. The books on the table next to you were also written by Vanessa. Doll making book, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

He held his chin for a moment: "I won't tell you what you want to do. Do you want me to help you?"

"Help...help with what?"

"According to the magician, Vanessa's book was written more than five hundred years ago. It should only be useful for beginners, and the other parts are not as good as Cloren's, and Cloron's Twilight City puppet map is in the There..." He laughed for a moment, "I can borrow it for you."

"I haven't learned to walk yet, and you're going to make me run?"

"What about the future? After you learn to walk, do you need my help?"

"..."

"Maybe."

"That's right, start buying my stomach now. I want to eat sweet and sour dishes tonight!"

Lu Yu felt like he was being pinched to death for a moment, but Lawrence's experience in making dolls...he was really moved.

Vanessa's introductory puppet making was basically taught step by step, and she only needed to use a rice spoon to pour the knowledge into Lu Yu's mouth. Therefore, when summarizing, he already had a strong idea of ​​​​hands-on practice.

But the first target obviously cannot be Lulu, it must be perfect, and it must be done in one step, so he needs to get something else to practice first...

Just as Lu Yu was thinking about it, Xu sighed and said "tsk, tsk, tsk" for a moment.

"How well do you know about the Drained Spirit War?" he asked suddenly.

"It's OK. There are many documents about that war in the four major countries and even in the entire Mela tribe. So I read a lot of books in my spare time in the Pope's Tower."

"The six pillars of Solon died one after another shortly after the war ended and Solon founded the country... They paid so much, but in the end the throne was won by a family other than the six pillars."

This point mentioned by Xu Yu also made Lu Yu sigh.

The six pillars of Solon died of illness one after another within less than a month after the founding of the country. This is the statement to the outside world.

In fact, Laurend and even Roye himself firmly believed in another possibility.

The war of the infected spirit caused great damage to the bodies of these six heroes. After fighting monsters that could pollute the spirit for a long time, their minds were on the verge of collapse. The remaining consciousness was just to "witness" the birth of a new country on the decaying body of Melias.

Among the six pillars, five were born in humble families, and only one had noble blood. They suffered oppression and abuse in the Melias era. After witnessing all kinds of tragedies on earth, they only hoped that this new country could save the people who were once unable to breathe under the shadow of the giant owl.

Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and the spirit of infection, the suffering of this land has been too much.

In the end, with their promotion and efforts, Solon was established, the spirit of infection disappeared, and the last obsession of the six of them also dissipated.

Even the controversial first emperor of Sligo, who had a bad record of deceiving dragons, must have led the way in every war in that catastrophe. The books of all major races, even the dragon race, recorded that he and the death squad opened up a space for summoners to release summons.

The first emperor of Sligo only ruled for three years for this, and then he got drunk at a banquet.

The first emperor of Kodzoun was even more legendary. He himself had been infected by the spirit of infection, but he relied on his incredible willpower to resist the erosion. After the war, he was always tortured by hallucinations and pain. During his six years in office, the entire country's political power was jointly controlled by his friends who fought bloody battles with him for half of the time.

After the death of the first emperor, these friends who later became the first generation of Shadow Guards did not accept the persuasion of anyone in the country, nor did they kill each other for power. Instead, they all supported the young son of the first emperor until he completely took power. They retreated behind the scenes and died collectively the following year.

The greatest wealth they left to the son of the old friend was the imperial will of Kodzoun, the Shadow Guard.

Laurent saw the sealed scroll when he visited Kodzoun.

The group of friends who fought against Melias and the spirit of infection with the first emperor of Kodzoun, only six people were left when the country was founded. They once promised that they would never betray each other until death.

The promise, the most important and the least important thing, is as fragile as an alliance.

However, this fragile thing was guarded by six people. They defended the bottom line in that turbulent era as if to explain what friendship is, and ushered in their own end.

The Spirit of Infection, this catastrophe that affected the entire Mela, made the humans who were fighting, confronting, and killing each other unite in a rare way. For the first time, they truly put aside their prejudices and barriers and stood together.

The glorious era is the wealth left by every hero of that era to future generations. It pierced the shadow of Melias, the giant owl, on this land.

Since then, there has been no such dazzling light.

Laurent said that he was moved and cried when he read that history. As an outsider, Lu Yu was also overwhelmed when he read it.

Loyalty, benevolence, trust, friendship, bravery and many other good qualities can be found in that extremely dark era. They gathered together little by little, and finally defeated the giant hand that strangled human survival, and led the human race to the top of the Mera continent for the first time.

Lu Yu, who was recalling that period of history, was brought back to reality by Xu Yu's big action of flipping through books.

"What are you looking for?"

"Oh, I want to see if there are any scholars who study what the infected spirit is and how it appeared." Xu Yu asked, "Aren't you curious about how such a strange life appeared silently, spread throughout Mera like a plague, and disappeared in a very short time?"

"According to my reading during this period, no country or race has proposed in the books that they have 'solved the infected spirit'. Most of the descriptions are that at a certain moment, the infection and replication power of the infected spirit subsided, and it can no longer infect organisms recklessly."

Lu Yu was also puzzled by the question raised by Xu Yu.

The power of the infected spirit to pollute thoughts and turn the polluted into a source of pollution is very strong. In the early days of the war, all tribes were defeated step by step, and only the dragon relied on its powerful magic to defeat some of them remotely.

How strong is the filthy power of the infected spirit?

The forest elves in the north of Solon described a detail of the fall of the angry mountain ridge dragon in their historical records.

The dragon, relying on its flying advantage, swept a large number of infected spirits, but he was actually infected by a group of polluted birds and a few flying monsters.

The forest elves only saw the group of birds flying back and forth beside the dragon's body. Soon after, the dragon fell to the ground as if it was bewitched, and then the mind was completely polluted by the large number of infected spirits on the ground.

Some people were polluted by mushroom people buried in the soil while walking, and some were polluted by flying insects and monsters hidden on the branches of trees.

Warriors of all races can only fight against the infected spirits like warriors cleaning the "roof" in Chernobyl. When the time is up, they must return.

In actual wars, warriors can't do this at all. In the end, they can only fight one for one with the belief that they will die.

With such a strong pollution ability, if they are a kind of "energy" themselves, why would their energy suddenly deplete rapidly, and then they can no longer infect and be slaughtered?

Is there a close connection between the pollution strength of infected individuals, otherwise why did they lose the pollution ability together?

After countless questions were unanswered, they traced the origin, and countless later scholars also raised the same question.

"Where did they come from?"

The earliest report of the infected spirit came from the northwest of Melias, which is the north of the Fury Mountain Ridge today and borders the forest elf territory.

After the war, a large number of scholars explored the nearby area and found nothing.

There was no trace of the infected spirit in this area that was devastated by the infected spirit. There were only countless infected corpses scattered around. When they arrived, they had turned into perfect fertilizer to nourish this disaster-stricken land.

The major powers firmly believed that the infected spirit had not been solved by them, because no country had found the source of the infected spirit. They just organized the refugees with difficulty, united together, and resisted the attacks again and again.

In order to find out the truth, they did send a death squad to go deep into the area where the infected spirit was densely present, but every team had no news.

This is simply a fantasy. The infected spirit that attacked the entire Mera at its peak lost its combat power in less than a month, and the initial source of infection could not be traced.

"It can't be a punishment from God, right?"

The words spoken by the first emperor of Sligo in a teasing tone were recorded, and for a long time afterwards, they were considered a reasonable explanation by scholars who studied the infected spirit.

The first emperor of Kodzoun, who was crazy and struggling between hallucinations, dreams and reality all day long, unable to distinguish any of them, said this before his death.

"They may come back again."

"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow!"
