Chapter 370 369 Host

Chapter 370 369. Host

The Drenches from the direction of the Great Snow Mountain have intermittently launched several attacks on the Dawn Territory, but the legend of zero casualties in the Dawn Territory continues.

Perhaps it was because of the long-term combat that the use of magic power has been improved, or perhaps it was because the arrival of the magic tide helped to break through the bottleneck. Lu Yu's magic power reached the fifth-level standard of the Mela Magician. He finally had the ability and courage to summon the two magic power consuming big consumers, the Devouring Demon Tree and the Book of Knowledge.

As the second summoned creature to be banned, the Devouring Demon Tree has a particularly obvious suppression effect on the Drenches. It stands facing the Great Snow Mountain, and the absorbed magic power is transformed into eyeball-shaped fruits. The Drenches that enter the attack range immediately enjoy the treatment of automatic search and automatic explosion.

The Dawn Territory has changed from the initial shock and numbness to the current commonplace for those eyeballs that keep falling from the branches and jumping into the Drenches and exploding. Discussing which fireworks are more brilliant has become one of everyone's daily topics.

Although the Dip Ran always changes its methods, besieging, harassing, or even launching a desperate raid under the gathering of Dip Ran mages, facing the summons in Lu Yu's summoning manual, their efforts only forced out No. 2 and the Devouring Demon Tree.

The Book of Knowledge has not been suitable for a battle until now - there are not many Dip Ran, and using it will only add burden to Lu Yu's body.

Lu Yu's mood is very contradictory. On the one hand, the appearance of Dip Ran is one of the few good opportunities for him to test the power of various summons, but at the same time he is also worried that the effect during the test will not be satisfactory, causing the Dawn Territory to fall into danger.

Weighing the pros and cons, Lu Yu can only let the Devouring Demon Tree and No. 2, two model workers, guard the Dawn Territory alternately.

During this period, Lu Yu sent another message to the Church.

The lethality of No. 2 to Dip Ran is getting smaller. This is not because Lu Yu is too tired, but Dip Ran will now take a detour when he sees No. 2 appearing, and he is even more alert to the erosion path winding on the ground.

"The conjecture is likely to be true. The conscious individuals in the infection are suspected to be able to share information and awaken the unconscious flesh puppets around them to make changes."

The warriors of the Church and Sligo were the first to discover that when the magic power fluctuates, the infection will also lose the power to pollute thoughts in a short period of time, and will be stagnant like a puppet without a "core", or wander aimlessly, without the momentum of unified action before.

But to verify the conjecture proposed by Lu Yu, further measures must be taken, and it is not enough to just observe with the naked eye.

Noel's royal guards originally came to the front line to supervise the battle for the emperor and comfort the soldiers, but after receiving the fluctuation report from the magician, they immediately rushed into the infection with a large group of people, found the previously marked infection mage, recorded his detailed information, and placed the mental scroll obtained through "friendly" negotiations with the School of Spiritual Magic on the back of his head.

This crazy attempt really made everyone on the battlefield break out in a cold sweat. On the entire front, people of all races shouted their names after seeing the infection resume action.

The god of luck did not let down these brave people. Before the contaminated power filled the battlefield again, the royal guards cheered and screamed as they returned to the fortress. They were greeted by applause and praise from all races.

The leaders of the Kodzoan Legion, who had always been at odds with Sligo, took out their own supplies and threw them at Sligo's camp.

"To the brave!" they shouted.

The news from the front line reached the rear, and the nobles who had hatred, murderous intent, and rage against Noel fell silent.

In the impression of countless people, he was a harmless and moody absurd emperor who had been kind and smiling since he came to power. He was a womanizer and made money by doing art. He was absurd and moody. He slept in beauty all day long and was keen on luxury. He was not a threat. For the entire empire, the existence of such an emperor would make the aristocracy very comfortable.

"It's enough as long as his absurd demands are met." Countless nobles thought so.

When Lu Yu learned about the feat of Noel's personal guards, he also learned about another thing.

Not long ago, the capital of Sligo, Crestow, experienced a bloody day.

The Silent Ones, a group of people who were evaluated by Sera as the second most powerful among the four countries after the Incarnation of Glory, went out in full force.

They walked silently on the streets of the capital, Crestow. Wherever they went, there were wailing everywhere. Those who dared to loudly rebuke them fell to the ground and blood flowed.

The mistress of a military noble just insulted the Silent Ones, and her tongue was cut off, and her head was placed on a tray and toured around the houses.

A duke just shouted the name of the head of the Silent Ones, and his title was inherited by his young grandson - he and his sons "fled in the negligence of the Silent Ones".

After many years of silence, many people have forgotten that the Silent Ones have never been a group of people who can be negotiated.

Everyone knew that this was a lame excuse, but no one dared to point it out. The prison in Crestol was already overcrowded, and the Silent Ones felt that making the prisoners stand in the snow was torture, and if they died it would cause too much shock to the poor people.

So they thoughtfully prepared many slings in the distant forest, where they could compost the fruit trees nearby and worship the forest god at the same time. The Silent Ones firmly believed that if the forest god really existed, he would be moved by their pious actions and bless those poor fruit farmers with a bumper harvest next year. This could be regarded as a good deed for these fat-bellied nobles.

The Silent Ones were killing like crazy, but Noel rarely lingered with the painters and maids. He quickly issued many temporary wartime decrees, taking back the rights assigned to many nobles in his father's era, dismantling the existing legions of military nobles, disbanding and reorganizing them, and sending them to the front line.

In dizziness and confusion, Sligo's loose power system changed in one day, and the Silent Ones stopped killing.

Noel went to the prison in person. No one knew what he said to the prisoners, and even the deepest wedge buried by the Church could not hear a single word.

Some people came out, while others seemed to be forgotten in the prison.

The nobles who were unwilling to give up conspired with a small number of magicians to assassinate Noel.

But the theocracy's prongs knew this news, and Lu Yu, who was far away in the Dawn Territory, also knew it... What about the Silent Ones?

Would they not know?

After reading this information, Lu Yu asked Sera to take a look at it himself.

"So decisive... Is this really, that Noel?"

Noel was undoubtedly lustful and frank... At least he was the one who invited her to enter the palace together when he first saw her.

As an emperor of a country, he was absolutely absurd. In addition to doing art, women and money, he did not do his job and let power spread. The reason why many nobles obeyed him was just because they liked his insensitivity to power.

As a former glorious god, Sera visited various countries in the form of diplomacy to make friends with nobles and had dealt with Noel countless times. Sera's evaluation of Noel was only slightly different from others.

Once, a baron's daughter mustered up the courage to reject Noel twice in a row, saying that she had a lover. Noel immediately brought the unlucky guy to the palace.

Everyone looked at the palace, thinking that the guy who was competing with Noel for the woman would disappear quietly, but he left the palace safely.

The imagined scene did not appear, but the content of the conversation soon became known to everyone... Noel personally taught some skills that could not be said in public, and patted the unlucky guy on the shoulder, earnestly teaching him how to make people "happy"...

So how did everyone in Mela know this news?

This outrageous information... was told by Noel himself to the knights. Afterwards, he even gave the unlucky guy some "unknown liquid" that he ordered the pharmacist to tinker with, and the effect was unknown...

In this incident that laid the foundation for Noel's absurd and lustful deeds, many people only saw the surface, but Sera saw his other side.

Although Noel was lustful, he never forced anyone.

In all the news about Noel sleeping with women, you can say he is fickle, perverted, or has a bad taste, but you can't say he is perverse and domineering.

Now, Sera feels that he has seen another side of Noel.

Looking at the sample data of the infection from the Church and Sligo, Lu Yu was very thoughtful.

When contacting Antonio, the other party seemed to have misunderstood something. During the conversation, he kept trying to lean on Laurend and tried to get something in a roundabout way.

Afterwards, the three people sat down and thought carefully, thinking that the Church should have matched Laurend's "turbulence" to the infection, and that Sera had more of Laurend's dying prophecy in his hands.

The high degree of cooperation of the Church can be seen from the sample data. There are a total of 17 reports on the infection magician, 10 of which are from the Church.

Of the remaining seven, six are from Sligo and one is from Solon.

The wedge buried by the Theocracy in Sligo means that Sligo still gave the highest level of support after knowing clearly that the request was not made by the Theocracy but from the Dawn Territory. During this period, even some Silent Ones were contaminated in order to collect data.

"Maybe we all misjudged Noel?" Lulu muttered with her chin in her hand. After a while, she suddenly wondered, "No, I have also seen Noel, why is he not interested in me?"

"Yes... He clearly harassed Sera, but he was also present when the young magicians of the four countries competed, and he also talked to me at the banquet... Why is he not interested in me?"

Lu Yu and Sera pondered for a moment, and a smile rose on their faces at the same time. They tried hard to restrain themselves, but the corners of their mouths betrayed them.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Lulu was puzzled at first, and then thoughtfully, and finally, there was a flash of fire behind her!

"Calm down, calm down!" It turns out that a magician who specializes in fire elements can really get angry. Lu Yu has learned something new...

Sera grabbed Lulu's hand and quickly comforted her: "It's okay, he doesn't like it, we like you."

Seeing Sera do this, Lu Yu consciously fell behind and grabbed Lulu's other hand.

"Anyway, calm down first. You know, everyone has different tastes... According to my shallow knowledge, Noel may have some masochistic tendencies..."

"What is masochistic..." Lulu has never heard of this word. Her curiosity overcame her anger in an instant... Being a curious baby in front of Lu Yu is also a very pleasant experience. She likes to stare at Lu Yu's face and listen to him talk about rare things that she doesn't know.

"Uh..." Lu Yu hesitated for a while, and found that Sera was also curious. He had to say vaguely, "Noel may be a masochist in some aspects... Of course, it may be mild. If he plays perverted... We don't know."

Lu Yu quickly covered up what he said with a loud voice: "In short, everyone likes different types. People don't like you to prove him..."

He stopped immediately, and then tried to examine himself...

"Go on, why don't you say it?" Lulu became more and more curious.

Lu Yu covered his face: "I don't want to say it anymore, let's discuss something serious..."

Sera walked to Lu Yu and whispered in his ear: "Pervert."

"How can you be better? We are just the same."

The eye contact ended, and the three returned to the desk.

Although the sample data collected by the Church and Sligo were very small, combined with what he saw around the Dawn Territory, Lu Yu felt that his inference was almost right.

The current infection can be divided into two categories-meat puppets and communication towers.

Individuals who can use magic in the infection are equivalent to communication towers. Their appearance can awaken part of the consciousness of the meat puppets and share the existing information.

Where they exist, the surrounding meat puppets will show an organized and purposeful situation, but once they are eliminated, the infection will return to the state of relying on the instinct of eating to move forward.

The magic crystal of No. 2 was destroyed by such a communication tower. Through observation and accumulation of information, they know how to bypass the erosion of No. 2. This is also the reason why the front line can resist the crazy attack of the infection in the early stage and use long-range magic and summons to win, but it will eventually fail.

From the beginning to the end, the communication tower has been hiding in the dark, silently observing and examining the every move of the front line. After seeing the trajectory of the front line, it suddenly rises up and pushes forward.

"If that's the case... doesn't that mean that all the infection is the eye of the source of the infection?" Lulu realized the creepy part, "As long as it wants, it can let its consciousness descend on any meat puppet and make the right decision..."

"You should know that I learned Sayer's spiritual magic. The spiritual space I used when I couldn't communicate with others was its masterpiece. It is a high-level magic that only a few people in the spiritual magic school can use now..."

"..."

Seeing Lulu suddenly widen her eyes and stare at the front in surprise, Lu Yu and Sera asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

"Spiritual space...that idea, that idea!"

"What...what idea?" Lu Yu was confused.

"The essence of the spiritual space is to use spiritual magic to establish a spiritual communication channel between two people, so you will also jokingly call it a chat room."

"I have improved Sayer's spiritual magic. The chat room that was originally only one-on-one has been turned into a place where multiple people can communicate with my consciousness as a 'platform'." Lulu said, "But this also brings danger. People who enter the chat room must have no ill will towards me, otherwise... my consciousness is very likely to be damaged."

Lu Yu recalled: "In the wetland, this is why you are always unwilling to establish a chat room with the group of mushroom people, right?"

"Yes... I only trust you." Lulu looked at Lu Yu and Sera with a smile on her face.

"Interesting, keep talking."

"Is there a possibility..." Lulu whispered, "The infection destroys people's thoughts and leaves their instincts, keeping them alive... The reason is that individuals cannot bear the huge magic load and mental load of the chat room... It needs a large number of meat puppets that are not hostile to themselves as a medium to share all the burdens, and some magicians are the better carriers among the individuals, and they become "communication towers." "

This unprecedented speculation about the infection made the three people fall into deep thought.

If Lulu's conjecture is true... then the purpose of the infection is to build an extremely large chat room?

In this way, the butterfly and the giant are... the host!
