Chapter 399 398 Sayer's Decision

Chapter 399 398. Sayer's determination

The strange throbbing made Lu Yu and Lulu subconsciously look up at the sky, but there were only falling snow dots and gray clouds in their field of vision.

The demon-eating tree that provided shelter for the two was hazy, and in the next moment, it turned into orange-yellow light dots all over the sky and dissipated.

Lu Yu, who did not issue a dispersal order, looked at his hands in astonishment. The increasingly strong impulse made the magic power in his body run rampant uncontrollably, and his skin turned red, as if it was dripping with blood.

Lulu began to be unable to breathe, and a strong sense of oppression came from top to bottom, as if there was a thousand-pound weight on her petite body.

Trying to adjust his disordered breathing, Lu Yu covered his chest and said with difficulty: "Something... is coming..."

A touch of light yellow soft light appeared out of thin air not far in front of the two people, just like someone accidentally dripping paint on a canvas while painting. With the penetration, the color of the halo became darker, covering up the vaguely visible outline.

The dim light completely blurred Lu Yu's vision. He could not see anything clearly. He could only vaguely feel that something gradually appeared where there should be nothing.

The terrifying sense of oppression came and went quickly. Almost in an instant, the two people who could hardly look directly at the halo raised their heads carefully, and then...

Lu Yu trembled all over, his scalp tingled. He resisted the urge to look down at the portrait, turned his neck stiffly, and then lowered his head.

His eyes met with Lulu's, and they both saw the surprise and even... fear in each other's eyes.

Vanessa, wearing a green floor-length dress, walked leisurely on the ground, right in front of them, and walked out of the halo that made them both feel palpitating.

Her eyes were slightly empty, as if there was nothing where her eyes touched, and her indifferent expression made people wonder if this was just a doll, completely unlike the gentle and quiet appearance in the portrait.

"Soulless puppet." Lu Yu subconsciously thought of this word, as well as the dolls he saw in Dusk City.

Lulu, who couldn't understand the way "Vanessa" appeared in front of her, felt her hair stand on end just by looking at her, but it was strange...

"I can't feel any hostility towards her at all...It seems that a strange voice is telling me...It's wrong to do this." Lulu whispered to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu's feelings were exactly the same as Lulu's. After seeing the strange appearance of "Vanessa", it was foreseeable that he would be wary of the unknown and instinctively rise up hostility. However, Lu Yu couldn't feel these two emotions. On the contrary, he seemed to feel a little bit of intimacy and warmth towards Vanessa in front of him?

Vanessa floated in the air, staring at the crystal giant who chanted her name loudly over and over again with indifferent eyes. Then, she turned her head and locked her eyes on Lu Yu and Lulu.

"You, witness it." As the pleasant female voice sounded, an invisible barrier rose from the ground, isolating the inside and the outside, isolating the magic power, and sealing the four people together.

At the same time, outside the barrier, the figures of the four people seemed to be erased by an eraser and no longer existed.

The powerful attraction stripped Lu Yu's consciousness from his body. No matter how he struggled, he could only watch his spirit leave his body and float on his body. The same was true for Lulu.

Vanessa, who was in the middle, raised her hand to the crystal giant: "Start, reveal."

"Witness, by you, do it."

As soon as the voice fell, the two seemed to fall into an endless abyss, and the strong sense of weightlessness made Lu Yu and Lulu clasp their hands tightly.

Endless light curtains flashed around the two people. In that short picture that only lasted for a moment, Lulu vaguely saw... In the first invasion, the snow monsters of the Sky-shaking Giant Owl fought desperately, resisting monsters ten or even a hundred times larger than themselves with their flesh and blood, and finally became immersed in the indistinguishable reality and illusion.

Lu Yu saw the giant dragon flying in the sky being hit by the huge dragon spear, and the attached icy air corroded his body. Amid the angry and shrill wails, the blazing dragon flames melted the rocks and the earth.

Along the river, warriors holding machetes and practicing both magic and martial arts jumped on the dragon scales, and then cut the dragon's scales with sharp blades. The dragon blood gushed out, and the angry roar resounded through the wilderness.

Based on the number of besieged characters and the racial configuration, he vaguely discovered that this was the "Blood of Antosol" operation for various races to eliminate future troubles after the infection was over.

"These are... the past?"

"No... these are memories... Vanessa is... showing us memories?" Lulu murmured, "But the perspectives of these memories obviously come from different people, how could she... not be able to do it, no one can do this, even the most powerful mental magic!"

Traveling through the vast sea of ​​memories, with Vanessa's gently raised hand, the two slowly walked forward along the light golden path that appeared out of thin air.

As if breaking through some kind of obstacle and entering a strange world, an old man with gray hair and a little hunchback was sitting in front of a desk in a small house, writing something slowly with his hands that were shaking due to his old age. He would stop for a while after writing a long line of words with his wrinkled face, as if brewing, as if resting.

The old man didn't notice at all that at the moment when he was writing seriously, there was a magician with wide eyes on both sides of the desk, staring at the name inscribed, and was speechless for a long time.

This old man who gasps when he speaks and walks unsteadily is Sayer Lucamia, one of the magicians who transcend his time.

Outside the hut, the greenery is lush and the bamboo forest is shaded. Butterflies and giants are following orders to patrol over and over again, never stopping.

Inside the hut, next to the desk, in a coffin made of colorful flowers and vines, Vanessa is sleeping quietly.

Leaning against the coffin, Lu Yu and Lulu can hear the slight shout, see the heaving chest, and look at the face that still has a calm smile even when sleeping. The two tremble for no reason.

Across time and space, they met for the first time the genius who seemed to guide them on her journey, Vanessa.

She lay quietly in the coffin of flowers, with her hands crossed on her abdomen, and Sayer, the ninth-level great magician who was famous in Mela, was writing at the desk. From time to time, he would turn around and stare at Vanessa's sleeping face for a long time, and then continue to write and draw on the scroll with bloodshot eyes.

That was a magic pattern that neither Lu Yu nor Lulu could understand. Sayer, who was completely beyond their cognitive scope, was tirelessly thinking about something. Whenever he was upset, he would immediately tear up the scroll in his hand. Then, this nearly ninety-year-old man would kneel on the coffin and cry like a child, constantly denouncing his own incompetence.

After the heart-wrenching cry, Sayer lay on the side of the coffin, fell asleep with tears in his eyes, but not long after, he would wake up in a convulsion. He ignored the warning signals from all parts of his body. He continued to pounce on the desk like crazy and continued to repeatedly carve the magic pattern.

Over and over again.

I don’t know how many times he woke up from his dream with a tired body, and I don’t know how many times he cried in front of the coffin. Sayer was obsessed. He almost never set foot outside the hut. Sheets of waste manuscripts piled up on the ground. Those incomprehensible ideas were often denied as soon as they were born and became debris.

Lu Yu tried to pick it up, but found that his hand passed through the paper - here, he and Lulu were just spectators.

The white-haired Sayer finally fell down in the high-intensity attempt, and the blood pouring out of his mouth and nose frightened him.

"I can't die... I can't... Before I wake you up... I want to live... live..."

Sayer wiped the blood and staggered to his feet, fearing that the red would stain the flowers he picked regularly and piled up next to Vanessa.

"I always deny you, always laugh at your naivety..."

"Vanessa...we made an agreement, yes, we made an agreement."

"Agreement...yes, that's right, an agreement!"

"I'm going to keep my promise, I always keep my promise, every time...so after I fulfill my promise this time, please bless me, let me find a way to solve all this..."

Sayer took out the purple-black box that he had placed on the top of the cabinet, took out the scrolls and books inside, and walked to Vanessa, already weak.

"Look, these are spiritual magic...cough cough cough...the masterpieces you always want to write into the book...cough cough cough" Sayer, who was about to cough out his lungs, knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the ground, crying silently, "As long as they meet my minimum requirements, I will give them all...Vanessa, if you hate my push, please get up and scold me...please..."

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, no one would believe that this legendary ninth-level magician could be so humble.

Put the box into the backpack, set up the whole cabin with restrictions, the patrolling giant and butterfly returned to the barrier, and never left, guarding the sleeping Vanessa like a demon.

Sayer looked back every three steps, entered the super-long-distance teleportation array in the distance, and left the Silent Mountains.

Lu Yu suddenly thought of something.

"This is the last time Sayer returned to Mela..."

Everyone thought that Sayer was still healthy at this time, but in fact, he was already ill and his body was decaying.

Everyone also thought that Sayer shared these magics out of his own kindness, but in fact, he just suddenly remembered the unfinished agreement with Vanessa and hoped for good luck in the dark.

Sayer, who opened up the spiritual magic school for Mela with his own strength, was disappointed after all. He still could not see a trace of hope and future from the land ruled by the giant owl. The desperate closure shrouded every ordinary person's head. The reality that was contrary to Vanessa's imagined world made Sayer feel dead.

He never believed that sharing could bring about change, but for Vanessa... he made a difficult choice and reluctantly passed on those great experiences that transcended the times - but there was a price.

Each spiritual magic below the seventh level is deliberately complicated, and learning is tedious and painful, with unknown side effects.

Sayer gave it to those schools that are bound to fall into a closed spiral.

It is a gift and a curse. Sayer broke, reorganized, and evenly divided the correct knowledge. All magicians who greedily gave this gift but put it aside will eventually suffer from it. They will taste the beauty of power with their own bodies, and the tragedy that the exquisite magic will inevitably bring!

This is just a little trick, but it is enough to make the pain erode the lives of those selfish people. Even if it will be cracked one day, the victims will die.

Lu Yu and Lulu saw with their own eyes that he buried a box covered with purple and black vines in an unknown forest. Under the surge of earth element magic, the box was squeezed deep into the ground and never saw the light of day.

Hundreds of years in the future, this box will appear in front of Lulu due to various coincidences.

The correct way to learn spiritual magic, which can be called a great work.

This is the most generous and gentle gift that Sayer, who wanted to believe but withdrew some of his trust in the end, can give to his descendants.

He did not believe in people, and did not believe that this land would usher in light at some point in the future.

Sayer left everything to fate.

After doing all this, Sayer returned to the hut in the Silent Mountains again, holding Vanessa's hand tightly, and telling her what he saw and heard along the way.

Sayer, who hated the giant owl and all the tragic things on this land, only talked about those beautiful things, and then he returned to his daily life again.

After failing to carve again and again, the heavy pressure defeated Sayer's sick body, and he finally fainted after a carving.

"I... I thought of it..." Sayer, with blood all over his mouth, opened his heavy eyes and shouted like a demon.

"I thought of it..."

"I thought of it..."

After repeating it again and again, Sayer's voice became smaller and smaller. He touched Vanessa's hand and whispered softly: "Human life is always short... Human body is also perishable... So, this is helpless..."

"Vanessa... Don't blame me... This is the most feasible method I thought of..."

"As long as you can wake up... Even if I can't reach the other side with you, at least... At least..."

Sayer, who rested his forehead on the back of Vanessa's hand, murmured again and again, his eyes gradually sharpened.

He stood up and trembled as he took out a book from the secret compartment of the bookcase that he could not share with anyone.

"We have all studied summoning and have speculated on the reasons for its decline." Sayer said, "Your view is similar to mine. 'He' exists and is watching all schools."

"He cannot be called a god... nor does he have a specific consciousness, so... yes, that's it, your and my speculations are always correct."

"It is indeed feasible to do this... as long as a certain base number can be reached, as long as this arrangement can be completed."

Lu Yu and Lulu swallowed their saliva, they moved forward, and the page opened by Sayer clearly read...

"Psycholysis."

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
