Chapter 77 76 The Half-Open Door
Chapter 77 76. The half-open door
Lu Yu finally agreed with Lulutis and told the dragon what happened to Lulutis.
Then he asked: "Do you know where the countries Lulutis mentioned are?"
The dragon, who received a lot of information at once, thought for a while and then answered helplessly: "Although I flew here from another continent, I know very little about the human world. It is impossible for me to land and learn about every place I pass by."
This... is indeed the case.
After the dragon digested all the information, he finally introduced himself.
"Let me think... I haven't used my name for a long time, and I haven't introduced myself for a long time."
It was the first time that Lu Yu saw someone repeatedly thinking about his name while introducing himself. This shows that the dragon has been sleeping for much longer than he thought.
"Huo... Gu?" Humans seem to like to call me this. Although I don't know the meaning, this name does give me a period of undisturbed time.
The dragon Huo Gu lowered his head and stared at Lulutis.
"Can't your seal be broken by external force?"
Lu Yu omitted a sentence in his description that the seal was caused by the contract left by the ninth-level magician, and only said that it was accidentally triggered by the explosion of the experiment, which also led Huo Gu to have the idea of violently unlocking the lock.
This crazy idea was actually recognized by Lulutis, but at the same time, she also complained bitterly.
"Do you think I look like I have a chance to violently crack it?"
The reason why she wanted to restore her human body was because Lulutis's body soaked in magic power had a higher affinity for magic power and a higher utilization rate than tentacles.
Brute force has always been one of Lulutis' options, but she is currently unable to try.
"Do you mind if I try it?" Huo Gu stepped back a distance, obviously ready.
To be on the safe side, Lu Yu still asked Huo Gu about his plan.
"Use powerful magic to cover Lulutis, squeeze it, feel the power of the seal, and look for flaws. The seal is also made in the form of magic. If you can find a flaw, maybe you can let her break free from the shackles and restore her original strength."
"With the original strength, it will be easier to solve the problem of this body."
Lulutis knew very well that this was not selfless assistance from Hogu. He must want to get something from her, so she made it clear before the violent cracking began.
"You might as well say what you want in advance. If it succeeds and I can't help you, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
"You want money?"
Lulutis's first question is in line with Lu Yu's impression of dragons.
Most of these guys with long lives have some hoarding habits, and most of them have a special liking for shiny things.
"Currency is useless to me. These can only be used to buy a certain amount of money from some races, but they cannot be used to buy extremely scarce materials. They are just beautiful stones."
"Get knowledge from me?"
Dragons have a very high affinity for magic. They can understand most of the magic of humans. After making some changes, they will also absorb the excellent ones.
Continuous learning and research are indeed what long-lived dragons like to do.
"Knowledge is indeed what I desire, but what I desire is the possibility of advancement after seeing a clearer 'road' appear."
"Lulutis, you are a seventh-level magician, you should be able to feel that the world has been quietly undergoing earth-shaking changes over the years."
"The barriers we touched in the past are dissolving, the magic realm that we could not break through is expanding, and the boundaries of those untraceable rules are gradually becoming clearer."
"The magic power is becoming more and more intense, the starting point of new life is higher, everything is full of vitality, like a big tree sprouting in spring, everything is getting better."
"I remember the strange words told by the oldest elder of the dragon clan, 'When the first dragon was born in the world, he could only spit flames and didn't know what magic was. Soaring in the sky is our most powerful power.'"
"Then, invisible power filled the world, we felt, we accepted, We explore... so, we master it. "
"However, the shackles are always there. Any creature that masters magic power can more or less feel that there is a barrier blocking the way when exploring the road to advancement and becoming stronger. "
"Until I woke up this time, until I completely revived my memory and felt this world seriously, I found that the concentration of magic power was far higher than when I slept for the last few times. "
"Lulutis, you should know why humans divide strength by rank. "
"Lulutis said calmly: "The predecessors summarized every bottleneck that was struggling to move forward. This evaluation standard has been doubted by the people of the Magician Association in recent years, because the utilization rate of magic power and the total amount of magic power cannot be directly corresponded to strength. It can only prove your status, not your strength. "
"Lulutis's words did not seem to respond to Hogu's question, but it was already a recognition of his subtext.
"If everything proves that this is a signal of the arrival of a new era, then every race will usher in a huge change. "Hogu grinned, "I hope this day will come soon. "
"The highest level known in the Mera continent where I live is Sayer Lucamia, who appeared six hundred years ago. He was a ninth-level magician, but he is believed to be dead. If the legend is true, and a tenth-level magician can truly extend his lifespan, rather than doing it through tricks like exchanging bodies, then there is no doubt that he did not reach the tenth level."
"The ninth level six hundred years ago was indeed a strong man." Hogu stood in awe.
"Lulutis, you are already a seventh-level magician. Don't you want to see what kind of realm is beyond the level that humans have summarized and imagined?"
"The level of monsters represented by rare items and the magic level indicated by numbers are only up to ten, because humans can only imagine this. Nine was reached six hundred years ago, but no one has touched that hurdle again in the past six hundred years... and now, the door after ten is opening. Don't you, who are so young, want to be the first person to open the door to the new world?"
The content of the conversation was completely beyond Lu Yu's imagination. Not long ago, a man and a dragon were still discussing potential transaction content, but now they are communicating about the future of the world and the level after the level.
Lu Yu is not a fool, and he understands all the content of these conversations.
It is also because of this that he dare not interrupt, for fear of disrupting the thoughts of these two big guys.
Before, Huo Gu was taciturn, so Lu Yu thought he was a dragon who was not good at talking.
Now think about it, it's just because Huo Gu, Lu Yu and Sigrid have nothing to talk about.
What is the conservative estimate of a dragon of fine steel and mithril level? The one they talked about is a monster after the rank, conservatively speaking, it is a monster starting from gold or crystal.
Lulutis fell into deep thought. Even before he lived alone, he had no chance to discuss these deep-seated issues with extremely powerful creatures.
Before the explosion, Rabbit said that she planned to share some of her views on the rank, and it is said that she had made a table, but unfortunately she was blown into a tentacle monster before she saw it.
The dragon Hogu showed her a picture scroll from the perspective of a dragon, which made her believe that the half-open door really existed, and it was not just a delusion of her and the diary.
This information should have been a secret of a few people, but now it has been shared by Huo Gu...
"What you want is cooperation, to explore the secrets behind the door together and reach a new realm?"
Huo Gu said: "First of all, we have to reach the limit of our realm and explore the limit of the magic barrier. This will take some time for both of us, especially me."
"At this stage, I can't defeat you at the seventh level. I won't take advantage of you. What you need is an equal partner. When I have the qualifications to match you, I will invite you again and it's up to you to decide whether to cooperate."
What a proud creature... Please come more of such proud creatures, okay?
"So you plan to find a way out for yourself who failed to explore the limit of the realm, and choose to invest in me to get a return?"
"That's also a long-term thing. My request is actually very simple."
At this point in the conversation, Lu Yu began to think wildly.
Huo Gu is so enthusiastic. Could it be that he heard that Lu Lutis is a seventh-level magician and a girl, so he was moved?
It's all because there are so many literary works about dragons and princesses that Lu Yu quickly entered the script mode of Dragon Quest.
No, no, that's wrong. He's so arrogant and unwilling to take advantage of anything. How could he play this game?
But in this case, neither Lu Yu, Sigrid the dragon girl, nor Lulutis can figure out what Hogu is going to do.
After saying so much, it can't just be for fun, as a mouth gymnastics after waking up.
"I hope you take the fog monster away."
"Huh?"
"?"
The fog monster shouted, and Lu Yu's trio tilted their heads in unison. Because the doubts were too strong, Lu Yu even suspected that he could become an NPC who issued tasks if he was thrown into the game.
"Why do you say these things casually? Why do I have to leave?"
The fog monster danced in front of Hogu's eyes.
Hogu took a deep breath and sprayed it violently.
The fog monster, who was dizzy from the wind, was tied to the spot by Huo Gu's magic the next second, and smiled obediently at Lu Yu and the others.
"It's lonely, isn't it? You are not a guy who can stand loneliness."
"Since you were born, there has been no one of your kind in this land, and it's meaningless for other monsters to toss, so you set your sights on humans. Every time the fog is thick, the adventurers passing by will be trapped by you until the fog dissipates before you let them go... You really want to play with others, right?"
The fog monster was silent.
"I have seen too many things in this world, so I can spend every day calmly and regard sleep as a kind of training."
"Is this really a training?" This time, the fog monster didn't need to complain, Lu Yu complained first.
Unexpectedly, the fog demon turned into a thumbs-up to show appreciation to Lu Yu. The next second, she was forcibly transformed into a human form by magic...
"Of course, I also have a little selfishness."
"If I really can't explore the secrets behind the rank, then what I love most is sleeping. In my dreams, I can have everything and control everything... But unfortunately, I can't control the content of my dreams."
"So I changed my mind. Being deeply trapped in a beautiful illusion is actually the same as sleeping, isn't it?"
This may be the unique way of thinking of long-lived life.
Life is too long. If he cannot pursue the ultimate power at the moment, he can arrange a comfortable dream for himself. When he wakes up again, he can still try in the best condition.
