Chapter 37 37 Dragon Slaying
Chapter 37 37. Slaying the Dragon
In order to ensure daily expenses, after nightfall, the lighting methods in Lu Yu's house were torches and oil lamps. These lighting methods could not make the courtyard as bright as that of the nobles.
Lu Yu used the light attribute magic he had just learned to condense a ball of light in the palm of his hand, illuminating the courtyard that was almost invisible after dark.
Lulutis was busy carving a strange magic circle with her tentacles.
Lu Yu, who had already learned a lot of magic knowledge from Lulutis, vaguely felt that this was not a formation that contained destructive power based on the flow of magic power guided from the magic core.
However, given that Lulutis had a history of blowing himself up, Lu Yu still put a layer of fire-attribute shield on himself when lighting.
Lulutis saw this, and her response could only be to pat Lu Yu's belly gently with her tentacles.
"You want to wear a layer too?"
With that said, Lu Yu very considerately put a shield on Lulutis.
Lu Yu's misunderstanding caused Lulutis' tentacles that carved the magic circle to pause.
Looking at the looming fire shield around her body, she wanted to use Lu Yu as a human pen knife to complete the rest of the magic circle.
The magic circle was finally carved, and looking at the magic cores scattered on the ground, Sigrid felt a little distressed.
Now they still don't have a good way to make money. If they spend all Andrew's compensation and Old Drake's donation, they won't be able to eat delicious food every day...
When Sigrid thought about Lu Yu not being able to cook in different ways every day, she was more worried than they needed to move out of the house.
"There are no blockages and the magic flows smoothly."
"The nodes are connected perfectly and there are no flaws."
Lulutis confirmed the magic flow of the magic circle, stretched out her tentacles towards Lu Yu, and invited him to step into the magic circle with her.
Lu Yu looked at the weird magic circle on the ground and asked awkwardly: "Why don't you explain the purpose of this thing first?"
"Send message."
During this time, Sigrid has been doing two things besides improving her strength.
One thing is to find the younger brother of the owner of the suicide note they picked up in the snowy forest.
The owner of the suicide note, Naka, claimed that his brother lived in the royal city, but in fact the royal city was very large.
The suburbs of the Royal City where Lu Yu currently lives can be considered within the scope of the Royal City.
Even though she knew the name of Naka's brother, Sigrid still didn't get any useful information. Instead, she attracted several fake relics.
Fortunately, Sigrid is now a Shiraki-level adventurer. For a little money, she can issue a commission in the Adventurer's Guild and have people help her find it.
The second thing is to help Lulutis find information about the continent of Mera and the Solon Empire.
After asking for a long time, she still found nothing. This made Lulutis full of confusion about where she was. She was eager to locate her current location, otherwise the future journey would only be aimless.
At this time, the advantage of Lu Yu pretending to be a nobleman and reporting a higher title also emerged.
Nobles with a certain status can enter the library of the Kingdom of Yas to borrow books.
According to the information revealed by Andrew in previous chats, the maps in the Kingdom Library and the maps of the Adventurer's Guild are far richer and more detailed than those in private circulation.
The former requires a title and merit to be borrowed, while the latter requires a certain adventurer level to be eligible to borrow.
Lu Yu obtained information step by step, while Lulutis planned to try to establish contact with the distant continent of Mela through her own way.
"If you want to connect with someone there, you have to have someone, or some kind of medium, to resonate and respond."
Lu Yu's magic foundation was very good, and he quickly figured out the loopholes in Lulutis' behavior based on basic magic theory.
"Of course there are things that resonate."
"It's not at your home, right?" Lu Yu said with a black line on his face, "If it wasn't hard enough, I think it would have turned into fly ash in the explosion."
Lulutis sighed.
"At home, I thought it was hopeless, but there was another person who had the statue that was used as an emergency communication medium."
Lu Yu seemed to think of someone.
"That rabbit?"
Lulutis admitted reluctantly.
"Although I don't like her very much, she always comes to my place to visit me. And I also said that she doesn't care about the status of the saint and the chosen one, and she is not very reserved in front of me..."
"She insisted that the little fox I carved was very beautiful. I told her that any craftsman on the streets of the empire could do it better than me, and that my statue was used to activate the golem at home...but she just stole it. One statue.”
"Steal?" Lu Yu broke into a cold sweat.
"Yes, she moved away directly while I was not at home. My puppets were disturbed by her, so she went to the woods and caught many lively little foxes for me..."
"After that, she modified my little fox statue and sent messages to annoy me whenever she had something to do..."
Why does Lu Yu think...Rabbit really likes the look of Lulutis.
But she likes to hide this "like" under very puzzling behavior.
Moreover, Lulutis said she was disgusted, but didn’t you completely close the other party’s information channels?
How can a seventh-level magician block the other party's private messages?
Lulutis said that she used to be a person who didn't like to communicate with others.
However, after the magic mistake turned her into what she is now, she completely lost the channel to communicate with others.
She had not been able to communicate successfully with anyone for a whole month, and her loneliness and fear made her particularly excited when she saw Lu Yu.
"If it were in the past, I might have had a hard time talking to you all day."
Lu Yu didn't believe it.
You talk to yourself every day now, sometimes even more talkative than yourself, picking up the gags and making the jokes so well.
Do you believe that you used to be a taciturn person who valued words like gold?
Sigrid took out eight magic cores from the house with pain, and made Lulutis roll up one of the eight tentacles that were stretched out.
Lu Yu comforted her: "Don't worry, Lulutis said that it's just a backup and may not be used."
After Sigrid stepped back, as Lu Yu and Lulutis injected their magic power into the magic circle, the lines of the magic circle lit up little by little.
Bright white light drilled out from the ground, gathered into a hazy ribbon, and extended to the sky.
Lulutis carefully felt the breath of the magic circle, eager to get some response.
However, after a full quarter of an hour, when the magic power of the magic circle was about to run out, she still couldn't find the direction to go home, and the rabbit she hated the most.
"Lu Yu... leave a message."
"What?"
Lulutis was silent.
Seeing that the magic power of the magic circle was about to disappear, Lu Yu hurriedly asked: "What exactly did you say!"
The sound of Lulutis biting her back teeth came into Lu Yu's mind.
"Damn rabbit, something bad happened to my body, come and save me!"
Lu Yu hesitated for a while, and modified the words before the magic circle stopped.
"Rabbit, Lulutis, please save her."
Asking for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help.
After attaching the known geographical information, the magic ribbon disappeared into the sky.
Lulutis shouted in surprise: "When did I beg her? Why did you change my words!"
"Think about it carefully. If you beg her, will she feel very happy? In happiness, she will definitely try her best to find you just to see your miserable appearance, right?"
How could Lulutis not understand Lu Yu's logic, but she just didn't want Rabbit to know that she was so unlucky now.
Lulutis was silent for a long time, but she didn't bother about it.
This kind of information transmission with a huge span is a gamble of luck. It is highly likely that she will not receive the information.
It was a gamble, and she might not be able to hear it, so just beg.
…
On the distant Mera continent, in a dense forest on the western border of the Solon Empire, hundreds of knights in helmets and armor were lined up.
The big shield was pushed forward, and the shield was covered with a fire shield that could block high temperatures by the six magicians commanding from the rear.
The crossbowmen in the rear were taking out the enchanted arrows and preparing to shoot.
A carriage decorated so luxuriously that it was out of tune with the surrounding environment quietly stopped behind the group of knights.
Feeling the sight from behind, the knights all felt a sense of heroism, and they wanted to charge forward immediately to kill the white dragon crawling on the ruins in the distance.
Speaking of dragons, most ordinary people probably have the impression of hugeness and power.
However, the dragon in front of them had nothing to do with these two stereotypes.
He was drooling, and his huge mouth seemed unable to close properly. His tongue always slipped out of his mouth and swung around in a disgusting way.
His face was drooping, as if he had stayed up late every day and had never had a good sleep, decadent and listless.
There was no fearful and frightening majesty from him.
His claws were not sharp, and even his palms had signs of rotting.
The white dragon seemed to have trouble controlling his eyes. He stared at the knight who was constantly approaching him, and his two eyeballs trembled incongruously in his eye sockets.
Seeing that the knights were only about a hundred meters away, the white dragon stood up.
The wings that were stretched out with great effort were a somewhat abrupt gray compared to the white of the body, like a black tarpaulin that had faded due to rain.
With this action, the knights were surprised to find that the scales of the white dragon were falling off.
Not in pieces, but more like corroded, the hardness was not enough, and it broke with a sound.
"The princess asked, have you found out what kind of dragon this is?"
"Why is it so small, only two stories high, and looks sick?"
The six magicians sitting in front looked at each other, and faced the waiter who came, they answered helplessly.
"Such a sick dragon, it is impossible to tell what kind of dragon it is."
"Some dragons will directly abandon their weak offspring and let them fend for themselves. Judging from the size of the dragon in front of us, it is estimated that the age should not be very old..."
A magician with a white beard and a pointed hat stepped forward, bowed respectfully in the direction of the carriage, and then said to the waiter.
"An adventurer has described that this dragon appeared here about half a month ago. After it came, it has not left and has been entrenched in the ruins. I am afraid it regards this place as its lair."
"During this process, no one has found other dragons in the surrounding mountains and forests. We also searched before your highness came. We are sure that only this dragon has appeared here recently."
After the waiter reported the information, an order was passed to the six magicians.
"Slay the dragon."
With the unquestionable majesty of the princess, the order was passed to every knight.
The magician holding his staff high pushed the strengthening magic to the extreme, and the knights defending the empire's borders marched towards the white dragon in a marching formation.
The crossbowmen in the back also released the first round of arrow rain towards the white dragon down the slope.
