Chapter 362 361 For Our Dawn!
Chapter 362 361. For our Dawn!
Huo Gu's words quickly reminded Lu Yu of the magic-breaking crystal giant and the giant butterfly that soared in the sky and condensed and fired magic power as a weapon.
Vanessa also has a talent beyond her time in puppet making. The two puppets left in the Silent Mountains have been running for hundreds of years and are still intact. If she did visit Mela and left the puppets here...
But Lu Yu couldn't figure it out, there were too many doubts about the time.
Sayer has been away from Mela since he became famous. He became a ninth-level and was known to the world in his later years. At that time, Melias had not collapsed, and the great empire still spread its wings, trying to maintain its majesty and intimidate the surrounding tribes.
At this time, there were still more than 20 years before the spiritual disaster of the infection, and Sayer appeared in Mela's vision at this time, and the time was only a short year.
Just one year later, the great ninth-level magician disappeared again, leaving unsolved mysteries for all the magicians around him who were looking for the secrets of magic.
What did Sayer do in the first half of his life?
Why did such a great magician not know about it beforehand?
Compared to others, Lu Yu and Lulu obviously knew more about Sayer's unknown first half of his life.
Born in Mela, Sayer had already started wandering before he became famous - in Melias, the untouchables had no chance or possibility to learn magic.
As the son of a butcher, he witnessed his father and mother bowing and kneeling to kiss the soles of their feet when facing those big men, and also wrapping fresh meat in layers of white cloth and offering it with both hands.
Students from the major magic schools in Melias are either rich or noble. They can arrogantly hold pages that ordinary people cannot understand and pretend that they are profound and precious magic documents, and then deliberately accuse passers-by of destroying them. Seeing ordinary people go from anger to confusion, to panic, and finally kneeling and kowtowing is a daily way for many of them to relieve boredom.
Neither Vanessa's manuscripts nor the scrolls left by Sayer mentioned the traces of his parents, nor the reason why he left Melia to travel at such a young age. The only thing we know is that his journey was difficult.
At the age of fourteen, his painful and struggling journey stopped somewhere.
Sayer, the future ninth-level, finally got the first person who was willing to appreciate him.
After he showed his extraordinary magic talent as a pariah, an old lord immediately opened his collection of books to him and tried to collect scrolls circulated in various schools for him, not only limited to his own continent, but also the ships of the territory sailed everywhere, just to satisfy his endless thirst for knowledge.
The old lord obviously didn't know what impact his good deeds would have in the future. He was a failed magician. He could only stay at the fourth level throughout his life, and the magic he could use was only the third level.
He wanted to see how powerful the fourth-level magic was and how magnificent the magic vortex it could cause...
The old lord's pure yearning for magic gave birth to a miracle. Sayer transformed here. When he left, he did not make any promises to the old lord, and the old lord never asked Sayer to stay - he knew that this continent could no longer keep this dragon.
After that, the old lord failed to meet Sayer again.
Twelve years later, Sayer, who returned again, found the old lord's descendants - a pair of twins who were about to be killed by other nobles.
Sayer gave the twins three one-time gifts, a rat subhuman slave, and an opportunity to overthrow the existing empire and bring war and chaos.
No one knows what the three gifts are. The only thing we know is that the older twin brother used two gifts to defeat the strong one after another in the chaotic situation. He defeated the imperial guards and the lords' guards one after another, and gradually disintegrated the corrupt country and ushered in a new era.
The name of this continent is Zoregos.
And the country that was destroyed by Sayer and had to flee in the abuse of countless races is called... Celer.
The 26-year-old Sayer returned to Mela, but he did not show his strength. He did nothing and just watched quietly.
"I watched nobles in gorgeous clothes coming and going on the streets, half-naked people begging for food in the bitter cold, frozen creatures on both sides of the street being dragged away and thrown into puddles, slave owners pried open the mouths of shivering children, examined their bodies, satisfiedly branded ugly scars, and found excuses to take the pitiful copper coins from their parents..."
"The wizard towers towered into the sky, scholars and magicians holding scrolls and manuscripts walked through the streets full of skinny slaves and hungry people with smiles, walked into taverns one by one with peace of mind and calmness, and drank to their heart's content, holding hands and holding a bottle of wine. Children of the same age as their daughter enjoyed themselves to the fullest… I can imagine that they would appear on the Mage Tower again the next day, smiling and talking about the secrets of magic with their students and companions, lamenting the difficulties of the world with compassion… They never set their sights on the snow-covered, stiff corpses in the distance of the tower…”
“Are they worthy of calling themselves ‘nobles’, and are they worthy of saying that they have mastered knowledge and are different from the beasts and barbarians?”
The sarcasm and contempt revealed between the lines of his words at this time were like a scroll, and in an instant, Lu Yu saw the ugly appearance of the collapsing Melias.
Sayer was calm and indifferent. He just stood there quietly, like a passerby, examining the absurd but reasonable scenes in the Melias Imperial City, and then left silently.
The first time Sajer returned to Mela, he was at the seventh level. When he returned again, it was sixty years later. He was nearly ninety years old.
The twin emperors of Zoregos had passed away. Melias, the giant owl that still had a glorious shadow sixty years ago, only had a weak howl.
Sajer, who was extremely indifferent before, showed his power beyond Mela... no, beyond the entire era.
The ninth level, a realm that only exists in imagination and cannot be touched by any magician on this continent, made the tribes of Mela completely crazy.
Sajer Lucamia, who was born in Mela but never left any traces in his hometown, left a piece of knowledge.
This knowledge is extremely obscure. Sajer seems to deliberately make things difficult for magicians, complicating its casting process in a way that ordinary people can hardly imagine, and the failure of casting often brings some side effects that are not painful but extremely uncomfortable to the body.
The initial model of spiritual magic in Mela and even the surrounding continents appeared. In the following hundreds of years, countless schools of thought continued to improve and refine in various ways, and gradually restored the correct way to use the spiritual magic that was deliberately hidden by Sayer, and extended many branches from it.
The contract scroll used by Sigrid came from this.
However, unlike Sayer's stingy generosity, the major schools of spiritual magic only learned stinginess, not generosity.
The knowledge that should have been made public was hidden little by little, and the price of the contract scroll rose sharply.
Unlike what the Mela tribes imagined, Sayer also left other things.
The way to play with the magician rating, the spiritual magic that blocked the communication ability, the trick of sealing the magic power of low-level magicians, and a declaration calling on the lucky people who picked up all this to boldly mock the Mela tribes.
The lucky Lulu got this great gift. She was injured and autistic at Tanya's place, and she had a little problem in the process of refining the transformation potion...
So, the coal ball appeared in front of Lu Yu.
During the period of magic fluctuation, Lu Yu learned Vanessa's puppet making technology while sorting out the connection between his journey and the two people.
The encounter with Yas, the Silent Mountains of Soresen, the Blue Water Battle of Mostana, the Moon Carving Boundary of Cole... and now Mela.
The footprints left by Vanessa and Sayer almost connected their long journey, as if there was a hand in the dark, leading them to these two geniuses who disappeared hundreds of years ago.
But even if they arrived at the hut in the Silent Mountains and obtained a large number of manuscripts and diaries related to the two, the missing still existed.
The opportunity for Sayer and Vanessa to meet, and why did they come together?
From the manuscript, we can see that even if they came together, the two people who lived in the hut and rubbed their ears still retained their own views.
Sayer is pessimistic. He believes that no matter what race, they will eventually step into the same river. The so-called open source is just to make the future closure more desperate. Why should the knowledge he has obtained through untold hardships be given to those who are bound to fall and are hopeless?
If he really wants to embrace closure, then he is willing to be a believer of closure, whether it is the eighth level or the ninth level, it is enough for the knowledge to belong to him alone.
Vanessa, who also experienced a tragic past, believes that it is because they have suffered too much that they should know the difficulties of beginners. If they have a good medicine to heal their pain, they should not hold it in their hands and watch countless magicians struggle and bleed - she wants to write books suitable for beginners, free of charge, completely free!
Not only that, she will also organize the knowledge she has into books, regardless of rank.
Sayer embraces closure, and Vanessa hates closure. In the end, it seems that Vanessa won.
The indifferent Sayer returned to Mela in his later years and reluctantly announced the knowledge, which is proof that - although decades have passed, he was still convinced.
However, Vanessa did not appear.
There is no information about Vanessa in all the literature records.
Lu Yu and Lulu each put themselves in the situation and finally came to the conclusion: something is wrong.
Couples hold their own opinions, and bending the other's opinions to their side can be said to be the most proud and exciting victory. Sayer is obviously the most stubborn. This should be the moment when Vanessa's sense of accomplishment explodes... and this is her lover, she should appear.
In the eyes of Lu Yu and Lulu, this is an elf who once had a clear vein and existed alive, but in the records of Mela and Sayer's second return to Mela, she disappeared.
Where is Vanessa?
"Um..." The sudden pain in his mind made Lu Yu cover his head.
"Ah~~!" Hogu shouted angrily in the distance.
Sera pressed his hands on both sides of his temples, trying to relieve the sudden tingling.
At the same time, many magicians in Chenxi Territory also felt the cold and deep breath piercing their minds like a wave, and countless black shadows flashed by, like phantoms, but also like real existence...
The pain continued, and Huogu gritted his teeth irritably: "I feel it, it's coming... There is something, far away..."
"It's disgusting..." Sera said with gritted teeth.
Lu Yu waved his hand, and Zixing immediately understood and rang the bell hard.
For a moment, the people in Chenxi Territory who were busy up and down the wall immediately returned to the wall. They also felt the filthy breath and their faces were serious.
The enchantments of the bows and arrows in the territory workshop were dragged out by carts. Sigrid, who was in charge of the supervision, apologized for the craftsmen: "There is really no way to improve. The magic power fluctuates, the working hours are limited, and temporary enchantments may cause many unexpected situations... If the enchantment produces..."
Before Sigrid finished speaking, a nun in black stood up and came out, smiling and grabbing a bundle of bows and arrows and putting them into the quiver.
"Miss Housekeeper, we know that it's just damage. For the land that has been cultivated, for the upcoming harvest... and the dawn in our hearts, what does this count for?"
"The Pope asked us to follow you, Lulu and Sera. He told us... you will give us a different and comfortable future." The rough voice came from a young and handsome guy. In terms of voice, he was a little too inconsistent with his appearance.
Alvin, the leader of the combat team, picked up his own giant bow, plucked the bowstring gently, and listened to the lingering sound. He continued: "At that time, I didn't know why I had to name you and Lady Lulu in addition to Sera. Now I have some understanding... You will build the utopia that the Pope once described... You and Pope Laurende... are very similar..."
Xin Lu, the leader of the medical team, said: "I am different from you. From the beginning, I believed that the Dawn Territory could accommodate our souls and bodies, because Lord Lu Yu is the one who can make delicious food for us under the Pope's tower. I have never seen such a person before... The porridge made by Pope Laurende is not very delicious."
There was a laugh around. It seems that Laurende's cooking skills... are not very beautiful?
After the laughter, everyone took away the arrows. When the arrows were all gone, Alvin held the bow and raised it above his head: "For our Dawn!"
"For our Dawn!"
"Also for the land behind us."
"Also for the land behind us." Everyone continued to echo.
Zixing stopped smiling: "Everyone, they are just infected spirits. Let's...get rid of them!"
"Kill!"
Sera and Lu Yu smiled at each other.
There was no need for complicated twists and turns, and the pretentious rhetoric to create an atmosphere. All the pre-war mobilization they had thought of was useless.
Everyone here has long been aware that even if the road ahead is full of difficulties, death and shadows will always follow, they will not look back.
Although the time is short, Chenxi is already their home.
Not only for the blazing glory that is no longer there, but also for the budding Chenxi-this treasure belongs only to them.
Anyone who wants to harm this treasure...must die!
Zixing, who grabbed three quivers, filled them with the thick and long arrows specially made for her, raised her head, and showed off...Although Lu Yu wanted to say that so many arrows standing on his back were similar to the old general on the stage, but when he thought of what he was about to face, he didn't say it out loud.
A loud bang interrupted the group who were checking their battle equipment. They all looked up at the black smoke column floating in the distance.
Soon, the fire cyclops stepped out a path of fire and came back with three magicians in big strides.
"They are coming."
Lulu said tremblingly.
