Chapter 591 The Whereabouts of 587 Vanessa's Relics

Chapter 591 587. The whereabouts of Vanessa’s relics

Lu Yu, who had caused Boyne City to experience a bloody terror and attracted numerous high-level magicians to pursue him, had quietly left. The day he returned again was the time for Anna and others to return to the Dawn Territory.

The relief food distributed by the Qidian Welfare Institute from three times a day has been reduced to twice. It will no longer accept any injured, abandoned babies, or homeless people, and will give them advice on how to go elsewhere. Along with a notice, it will post the secretly accumulated rags. Thoughts disappeared.

"Due to force majeure, Qidian Welfare Institute will be closed soon."

Not too much description, simple and clear.

There were only a few patients left in the orphanage that had become deserted due to the previous pressure. In addition to treating these last patients with all her heart, Anna, who took the initiative to take on the responsibility of reception, finally showed a rare indifferent face. He firmly refused one request after another to stay in the orphanage temporarily, and was only willing to give them some magic potions to help them save themselves.

Not just humans, maybe all races with intelligence are very strange. They don’t cherish it when they have it. Over time, they take everything for granted. But when they realize that they are about to lose it, they are reluctant to let it go and try to keep it.

Anna heard the pleas, and when there was no response they turned into pleas, but she remained unmoved.

When she hears the baby crying, she will give him an extra portion of food and herbs. When she hears the injured patient describing the difficulties he is facing with grinning teeth, she will treat him personally, using her heart as the yardstick instead of caring about the orphanage behind her. .

Anna was shaken, but once again she heard those who took the relief supplies behind their backs, criticizing the hypocrisy of what they had done, and rumors that the orphanage was just pretending to be a show-off, just waiting until the right time to find someone to stay, so that the bloody past could be justified. Let’s not talk about the history and get a clean reputation.

"I have practiced what Pope Laurent taught us to treat others with sincerity, and now it's time to practice another philosophy of life taught to me by Sage Lawrence."

Anna turned around calmly, ignoring those who were pointing at her not far away.

Time will give these people an answer, but it won't be the answer they want.

…

…

Porgis, as the continent southwest of Colai, is also one of the few continents in the magic wave that can still carry out trade at the level before the magic wave. It is not difficult for Lu Yu to get here.

Chatting with the sailors on the boat, Lu Yu learned that this route was active with a large number of adventurers and magicians from the Kelai Trading Complex, and they continued to attack the emerging sea monsters.

This is a very interesting name change. Lu Yu clearly remembers that the Kelai people used to call the races in the sea the same as Mera, and they were all sea races, but now they are collectively called "sea beasts". This seems to be a change in the attitude of the terrestrial species towards the races in the sea. intuitive manifestation.

Everything went well on the trip, but there was a hitch in finding someone.

"Ulkarum, the puppet master? Never heard of it."

"Is there a famous puppet master in Porges... I don't think I've heard of it. Are you sure he is a famous puppet master?"

Lu Yu, who made paid inquiries at several adventurer guilds, received surprisingly uniform answers.

Lulu said blankly: "Didn't Urkarum leave any descendants?"

"No, even if he didn't leave any descendants, he should have at least left a name when he worked hard as a puppet master. Now no one knows about it. Could it be said that something unexpected happened before he realized his dream?" Sierra corrected .

The Adventurer's Guild did not receive Lu Yu's money in vain. After it was unable to provide any valid information, it began to announce a reward in the form of a reward. Lu Yu did not continue to move around, but found a tavern to stay.

Porges is a very famous "Alchemy Continent". As a complex comprehensive school, high-level alchemists are basically knowledgeable people. In order to realize "creation" and thoroughly master this concept, they have devoted a lot of effort. The effort is no less than that of puppet masters who pursue spiritual body change.

Lulu said that all alchemists are careerists.

Lu Yu became interested in this description and asked why.

"If you can create a soul and a body out of thin air, it is equivalent to gaining 'authority'. In an era when we didn't know much about magic, we would think that this is the power of God." Lulu said, "So it has always been , alchemists are what we call those who seek divine power.”

"What stage has the most successful alchemist reached so far?" Lu Yu was curious.

Lulu replied: "It was Porges himself, and this continent was renamed because of him. About five hundred and seventy years ago, during the last magic wave, on this continent, he was seventy years old. After the magic wave reached its climax, an unknown method was used to briefly create a 'spirit' that could obey orders in a short period of time. Since this process was witnessed by several high-level magicians, it has a certain degree of credibility."

"But there are many opponents. Many alchemists in the mainland have always believed that this is nonsense, because Porges will never be able to reproduce the masterpiece of that day, and he is unwilling to announce the method he adopted. This ended up being an unverifiable phenomenon.”

"However, since Porges was the highest-ranking magician on the continent at that time and died at the eighth level, considering that he was a peaceful man throughout his life, had mediated many continental disputes, and was a man of noble character, so in the end the rulers of the continent finally Get rid of those doubtful voices and rename it.”

This was the first time Lu Yu heard that someone could create a "spirit body". The puppet master created an empty body, and the alchemist refined the void spirit body. The combination of the two was indeed equivalent to creating a living being.

"Do you think this is true or false?" Lu Yu asked.

Sera regretted: "Although I suspect that such a famous sage is not suitable, I tend to believe that he is cheating. Even today, we can master the art of spiritual body manipulation and create spiritual bodies. And this was the last time It’s hard to imagine based on the magic tide.”

Just when Lulu was about to share her opinion, the waiter from the tavern knocked on the door of Lu Yu's room and informed them that someone from the Adventurer's Guild had accepted the reward and was waiting downstairs.

Looking down into the hall from the armrest on the third floor, Lu Yu saw the adventurer the waiter mentioned. He was a middle-aged man with an old face and scars on his arms and wrists. He was carrying two newly hunted deer on his broad shoulders. People who want to buy haggle.

After the adventurer satisfactorily negotiated a good price with the trader and put the deer on the ground, Lu Yu stepped forward and said straight to the point, "You are the one who accepted my commission. Do you know about Ulkarum?"

The man wiped his sweat, looked at Lu Yu, and nodded slightly: "I do have an impression of Ulkarum. In the Adventurer's Guild where I accepted the bounty, there was a sculpture near the reception desk with this one on it. Sign."

Lu Yu was stunned. He never expected such an answer. Under the leadership of the man, they saw the cavalry sculpture placed in the hall. The signature on it was exactly what Sayer said. Calum.

The Adventurer's Guild in this city-state had just been repaired, and the sculpture was newly added, so the staff confirmed the transaction details of the transaction by looking through the purchase list.

After using money to clear the way, Lu Yu successfully learned from the buyer that the sculpture came from the capital of the Kingdom of Fres. The seller was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. There were many other sculptures for sale in the same batch, but He rejected many of them because of their age, and only accepted some refurbished ones by lowering the price.

After struggling for several days in Porgis, Lu Yu finally got the effective information and rushed to Freis Royal Capital without stopping. With the name provided by the purchasing merchant, he found "Haril Karum".

Haril Karum lives in a simple two-story wooden building with a small courtyard and some distance from the royal capital. It is considered a suburb and is within the patrol area of ​​the royal capital's guards, so safety is somewhat guaranteed.

The arrival of Lu Yu made the red-haired young man full of vigilance. Almost instantly, Lulu felt the magic circle being activated in the room. At the same time, she also discovered that Haril's hands seemed to have remnants of the magic medicine, which was very fresh. .

"Who are you?"

"I'm taking the liberty of visiting. I would like to know if any of your ancestors is named Ur Karum?"

Haril frowned and his expression became more and more nervous. This reaction made Lu Yu smell something strange.

"Do you want to return it? It will not be refunded after it is sold. Don't forget, we signed an agreement."

"You misunderstood. We have never bought anything from you, but simply came here because of your ancestors." Lu Yu explained, "Your ancestors met an elf magician hundreds of years ago, and she gave you the gift of your ancestors." A precious treasure, and I am here for that treasure, and I am willing to trade with you."

With that said, Lu Yu showed off a piece of dragon blood material in his backpack - kindly provided by Huo Gu.

Lu Yu's peaceful attitude and sincerity made Haril gradually let down his guard: "Are you really here for my ancestors?"

"It's absolutely true. It's not convenient to talk outside. Can you let us in so we can set up a soundproof circle?"

Harrier hesitated for a while, looked at the boiling dragon's blood, and finally let go of his hand on the door, making a sign to come in.

Haril's home is very refreshing and clean. Of course, this is a term for high emotional intelligence. This simple residence obviously does not have space to accommodate many objects, so he had to use as many shelves as possible to improve space utilization. Therefore, after Lu Yu entered the door Then he saw the neatly arranged potions. They were sorted by Harrier and placed on the wall shelves, making them appear orderly.

Harrier obviously has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the placement of each potion is pleasantly coordinated, because even potions with the same properties will be placed in a gradient manner according to the color of the potion.

Lulu sniffed it and judged the ingredients.

Lu Yu said: "This shelf seems to be filled with various antidote potions."

Harrier said in surprise: "Sir, do you also know about potions?"

"I understand a little, I understand a little... Oh, this shelf is a magic recovery potion, and it is very effective..." Under Lulu's reminder, Lu Yu found the word that can describe the effect with high emotional intelligence, "gentle, gentle. "

Harrier was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, and he became a little panicked when he spoke.

"You are too polite. There is no need to be so tactful. I know that I am not doing a good job in this regard. You are obviously a knowledgeable expert... I am not capable of going further in potions. I am just doing this to make ends meet. Let you It’s funny.”

"No, I think you've done a very good job even if you make a living. For example, the way you display the potions makes people feel at ease."

In the chat room, Lulu was stunned for a moment.

"Who are you alluding to?"

Lu Yu quickly distracted and replied: "Yes, who am I referring to? It's so strange. I suddenly wanted to say that."

Lulu's tentacles were shaking restlessly. If there wasn't a conversation going on, a tentacle war would be inevitable.

After a conversation, Haril completely let down his guard, and he politely served Lu Yu tea - made entirely of tea foam.

Seeing that Lu Yu was reluctant to take off his mask to taste the tea, Harrier became more and more embarrassed. He said awkwardly: "I'm very sorry, this is all I have now."

"It doesn't matter. I didn't come here for this sip of tea."

Harrier nodded repeatedly: "I don't know what the ancestral relics you want to trade look like. There are not many items left by the ancestors. I don't know if there is something you need among them."

"A heart."

The smile on Harrier's face froze instantly. He looked at Lu Yu, then lowered his head to look at the tea in his hand.

"It seems you know."

"So that's why you came here, sir. Indeed, my ancestor Ur left behind a collection in the shape of a heart. It is said to be his treasure. He never let others appreciate or touch it during his lifetime. Even at the last moment of his life, he held it in his arms."

"Didn't your ancestor become a puppeteer?"

Haril said self-deprecatingly: "According to the scrolls I found, the ancestor has been working hard, but he has never been able to complete any decent works. In his notes, he repeatedly emphasized that he had received guidance and gifts from great magicians, and he would be able to break through himself sooner or later... But, alas."

"Many people who know the ancestor say that the ancestor is a weirdo, who has been possessed by the devil. He wastes materials day after day, does nothing, and drags down the family, making the Calum family more and more destitute in magic."

The room fell into silence.

Ur Calum, who was recognized by Vanessa and given that heart, obviously had a certain foundation as a puppeteer, but fate seemed to have played a big joke on him. He got this legendary gift but did nothing in the second half of his life.

I don't know what kind of complicated mood he had before he died.

"The heart is not in my hands now. It has become someone else's property about two hundred years ago." Harrier said ashamedly, "The other party should not want to trade with you. He is a very remarkable alchemist. It seems that he learned about the strangeness of the heart during a certain exchange and took it away by means. It is said that it has become a treasure of their family."

"Not only that, in order to rationalize the ownership of the heart, they also used a lot of means on our family, so that..." Harrier looked around the simple little house and smiled helplessly.

Lu Yu looked at Harrier with his head down and asked: "Do you hate your ancestors?"

Perhaps it was because he opened the conversation box, facing this topic, Harrier still chose to answer.

"It was true in the past. Since he started, the family has been declining year after year. When it came to me, there was nothing left. Now I need to sell those small collections that are no longer worth much, and continue to learn to make potions and sell them to accumulate the cost of my own study in the academy."

"But now..." Haril raised his head and smiled, "What qualifications do I have to hate him? As a magician, I understand his pursuit of knowledge. Throughout his life, he never betrayed the path he chose, and he insisted on going forward even if he hit a wall again and again... I can feel his love for puppets."

"Compared with him, I am not qualified to complain now."

Working overtime again, it's hard
