Chapter 599 595 Who Is the Barbarian?
Chapter 599 595. Who is the barbarian?
After a short stay, Coal Ball set out on the journey again. They still need to confirm whether there are Vanessa's relics in the remaining three locations given by Sayer. This is not only to complete the integrity of the Heroic Spirit Template, but also to allow Sayer and Vanessa to have an undisturbed sleep.
Counting the sunrises and sunsets, it took more than 40 days. Lu Yu searched the two areas mentioned by Sayer again. By scattering coins, he successfully obtained information related to Vanessa's relics, but in the end, the answers he got were "damaged" and "lost".
Six hundred years is a long time for most races. The turmoil caused by various natural disasters and man-made disasters is enough to interrupt the inheritance. It is normal for those treasured and preserved collections in the past to be buried under the loess in an instant.
The last location is the north of Yas, which Lu Yu cares about very much. There is no record of it in all the books left by Vanessa. It is the area that Vanessa has set foot on before meeting Sayer to see many things. If Sayer had not provided the information, they would not even know that Vanessa had reached the remote Yas.
Without the assistance of Hogu and the natural teleportation array, it took a long time to return to Yas. Fortunately, the coal balls now have the capital to deal with most emergencies. Even if they are bitten by a giant crocodile "swimming" under the ground while sleeping, they can continue to rest like coal balls. Instead, the giant crocodile spits them out in panic after breaking a few teeth.
Lu Yu, who arrived in Soleisen, wanted to reminisce with Aesop after a long absence, but he never thought that the Elf King didn't know where this son who was always a little weak in his eyes had gone. Not only that, when he left, he also took away several brothers and sisters who were not valued in Soleisen.
After searching everywhere without results, Lu Yu could only sigh helplessly and continue his journey.
On the contrary, Lulu was relieved for no reason about this result... Her mood was very subtle.
When he arrived in the Gran Empire, Lu Yu learned that the old emperor had passed away, and the Prince of Cornwall, who Lu Yu had a very bad impression of, had taken the throne.
The Star Knights no longer existed, the leader Hurst died suddenly, and the deputy leader Heather and the remaining members were missing. This group of people who had been promoted from the bottom to the bottom in the previous emperor's era and had always been running for countless poor people, and those who were worthy of the name of knights had become taboos in the Gran Empire. Perhaps in a few years, their names will gradually become unfamiliar, until no one has ever remembered that this country, which is once again ruled by nobles and magicians, once had a group of knights who stood with the bottom.
They came, but it seems that they just came, and it seems that nothing has been left.
"Are you going to leave? Where are you going?"
Opposite Lu Yu is the last old friend of him and Lulu in Gran, the cat-faced killer.
Until today, Lu Yu knew that the man who once sacrificed himself for the peace between Gran and Soresen was nicknamed "House Cat". He lived in seclusion and was called "House Cat" by people around him. Over time, people called him "House Cat".
House Cat loved the land under his feet deeply and always believed that he would never leave the place where he was born and raised until Prince Cornwall came to power and saw the stars that had cooperated with him vanished, and saw one familiar and dream-filled member after another with Heather stepping on the raging sea...
He suddenly wanted to leave.
"Just walk around, wherever you go, that's it." The house cat said self-deprecatingly, "House cats become wild cats, and they have to accept the fate of being wild cats."
Lu Yu patted his shoulder lightly, and Lulu made him a dozen spiritual magic scrolls that could be used in the slave trade. After providing a layer of protection for his trip, they looked at each other in silence.
Before leaving, Zhaimao gave Lu Yu the dagger and bayonet he had used to assassinate the nobles as a return gift for his acceptance of the scroll.
"I will keep it well and mark its story in my collection cabinet."
"Have a good trip, Zhaimao who has become a wild cat."
"May the moonlight guide you every night, my friend."
The two said their blessings to each other and hugged each other.
Zhaimao felt the strange touch, but he said nothing.
In this cold world, it is great to have a nostalgic friend.
Walking back on the road they had taken, the things and objects along the way have changed dramatically. Along the way, Lu Yu and Lulu took turns describing the stories of the time to Sera, trying to explain them in places where there were no traces of the past.
Sera listened very seriously, but this time her mentality was far less awkward than before.
"If there was no Lu Yu, everything wouldn't be so bad." This thought had disappeared from her mind since some time ago. Hearing this history in which she had not participated, combined with the surrounding scenery, Sera suddenly felt a sense of participation, as a witness.
After Hogu left, the rift valley where he was entrenched became an arena for various monsters. No king could ever shock the place, so that after entering the rift valley, Coal Ball was attacked by several groups of monsters in succession, and they all lay on the ground without exception, exposing their bellies.
Unconsciously, the vast Luotan Plain was in front of her. The howling cold wind made the people on the plain shiver. In this cold season, those who still braved the cold wind were either adventurers chasing high commissions or nobles who liked winter hunting.
They would treat anyone who approached their team rashly and moved as an enemy and hit them hard.
Coal Ball was hit hard. A group of magicians and knights wearing exquisite fur coats suddenly attacked. Two accurate arrows hit Lu Yu's hands and feet, which was enough to cripple a normal person's mobility. Then the magic lasso of grass attribute hit Lu Yu's neck.
These young men in their teens and 17s laughed loudly, as if they had found some great fun.
They slapped the horses under their feet, trying to make them run, but the horses neighed uncomfortably and remained motionless even when they whipped them.
Horses with monster bloodlines have a keen sense of crisis and realize what is really dangerous here.
"Although four years have passed, you once again remind me of when I first came here."
The tentacles that shot out from under the clothes strangled the throats of the young men, and the magicians and knights accompanying them finally reacted.
"Sir, this may be a misunderstanding. We didn't know you were a magician!"
"No, there is no misunderstanding. You will die too."
This is Lulu speaking.
The tentacles penetrated the bodies of the noble young men, and the flames swung by Lulu warmed the bodies of every noble follower, so that they no longer shivered from the cold.
All the horses knelt down with their legs bent. The strong fear made them unable to move, and they only hoped to get some mercy in this way.
Lu Yu casually cut off the tools that bound them and gave them freedom.
Gradually approaching the starting point where he intersected with this world, Lu Yu also told Sera the biggest secret hidden in his heart.
Sera had made many imaginations about Lu Yu's extremely distant hometown, and vaguely guessed that this stinky bass had concealed something from her, and had a secret that only Lulu knew, but she didn't expect that this secret was so big...
Everything made sense, the wonderful imagination, the "nonsense" that always came out of his mouth, the subtle sense of incongruity in dealing with people...So that's it, so that's it!
"Why did you suddenly want to tell me? You kept it a secret well, didn't you? You and Lulu's exclusive little secret, you must feel very accomplished." Sera said.
"I just think it's okay to tell you." Lu Yu answered seriously, "I don't want to have to choose words because of you every time I discuss some strange topics."
Sera was stunned: "You are so serious, it really makes me a little uncomfortable... The so-called strange topics are those special little stories that must be modified by your "distant hometown"?"
"Almost, think about it carefully, I have been reserved from you all the time, it's more like treating you as an outsider, this is my fault."
Sera was very unaccustomed to Lu Yu's change of attitude. The original tit-for-tat mode was very good, and she was used to bickering to adjust the atmosphere. Lu Yu suddenly took a step back... She felt awkward.
Fortunately, the former Goblin Palace was right in front of her, and Coal Ball's attention was attracted again, which allowed Sera to readjust her mood.
After the magic tide, the Goblin Underground Palace was completely abandoned. It is not quite accurate to say that it was abandoned. In fact, there were only no Goblins here, but there were many monsters. After the Goblins left, they entered the huge underground palace and occupied an area to reproduce.
From the adventurers he encountered, Lu Yu learned that the underground palace has now become a strange underground world. To complete the designated commission, adventurers only need to go to the designated area according to the map to "encounter monsters". As long as they do not go to the corridors with complex passages, they will basically not encounter monsters of more than one race. It is just like a special game monster spawning place.
Lu Yu asked around among the adventurers, but did not hear any news about the turbellarians. He was still very curious about what changes these little guys who worshipped the flesh and blood chariot as the god of wisdom have now.
As for the Goblins who originally lived here, the adventurers talked about it.
"You seem to be from the outer continent. Don't you know that these goblins are very powerful now?"
"Oh, what do you mean by "powerful"?"
"Now the surrounding countries are trying to find ways to fight against them. If the power of the major races and countries is not gathered, I am afraid that this area will sooner or later fall into the hands of these ugly, mutated monsters!"
The goblin clan that left the Goblin Underground Palace and walked to the ground underwent earth-shaking changes. Their bodies became stronger and their bodies became larger. The originally short and ugly green dwarfs gradually became more sturdy than humans, or even werewolves, and they evolved into the category of berserkers among goblins.
The group that evolved under the magic tide happened to be the generation of the short-lived goblin race in the teens, and this life cycle happened to coincide with the point when the Goblin King used his own death to exchange for the "violent army" time for his people.
After the arrival of the magic tide, the turbulent countries were busy fighting among themselves. For a while, they did not notice that a new player who could compete with them suddenly appeared on this barren land. Moreover, this new player was smarter and more capable of judging the situation.
The new goblin tribe that came to the ground and bathed in the sun was called "trolls" by all the races. As the king connecting the first generation of goblins with the new generation of trolls, Chacha, the designated successor of the Goblin King, was very far-sighted and did not engage in a firefight with any forces. Instead, he chose a desolate land that no one was willing to cultivate and occupied, and worked silently.
Relying on the population advantage of the goblins, they established their own kingdom on the ground in just one year, and formed their own cultural system based on the ethnic aesthetics that already existed in the underground palace.
There was no conquest or plunder. The trolls led by Chacha always restrained themselves. They abandoned all kinds of extreme means used in the past to survive, and tried to get closer to the "civilization" described by the old goblin king. Relying on the advantages of their own race, they stood firm on the ground with sunshine and sweet air for the first time.
"Destiny needs to be in our own hands, imitate, learn, and then create." This is the advice left by the old goblin king to Chacha.
And now, they have their own land, their own culture, and their own kingdom.
"Now, he can rest in peace. The civilization he expected was finally born in the ethnic group he protected with his life."
Thinking of the goblin full of kingly spirit, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh.
Due to the strength of the trolls, all the major countries and races have expressed the idea of encirclement and suppression. They do not allow an inferior species to share this land with them.
How can they, who were once synonymous with inferiority, be on an equal footing with themselves?
This fierce conflict began from the moment the trolls showed signs of rising, and it even indirectly led to the major countries stopping the original civil war and turning to a united foreign policy.
When preparing for war, the troll king Chacha took the initiative to invite leaders of various countries to try to mediate the impending crisis, and took the initiative to give up some of the wasteland areas that were being reclaimed as a gesture of friendship.
However, from the mouths of various adventurers, Lu Yu was not optimistic that this conversation would have a positive result. The attitudes of various countries were clear: inferior species go back underground.
In fact, everyone does not care whether they are goblins or new goblins now, called trolls, or collectively called green-skinned barbarians. They only care about why these guys who could be trampled at will can talk to them openly... They used to be just a head on the bounty list.
This does not seem to be a survival issue.
Faced with this somewhat distorted fact, Lu Yu couldn't help but wonder... who is the barbarian they are talking about now?
