Chapter 908 903 Do You Want to Join the Quiet Ones?

When the snow monster returned to Chenxi, Mi Lai's information channel informed Lu Yu of the impact of this incident.

"Besides those scum from the Potions School, what's going on with the Puppet Master?"

A total of more than sixty people from the two potion schools turned into ice sculptures overnight and shattered on the ground.

The corpses of more than thirty puppeteers were pierced and nailed to the wall with ice picks, accompanying their puppet masterpieces and the room full of "puppet materials."

This is the shock that the snow monster's trip brought to Meera.

The puppet master was not on Lu Yu's revenge list. Although he knew the snow monster's code of conduct, he still needed to ask clearly...

Because Kelea and Catthorn were nearby, they signaled the radiance incarnation to temporarily leave the vicinity of the Dawn Territory, allowing the snow monster to go out easily.

Now that the situation has escalated, they need a reasonable explanation.

"The potion master took advantage of the low price to attract fringe magicians, and determined that their disappearance would not cause waves. He anesthetized them and allowed the puppet master to extract the "materials" alive."

"I pried open their mouths, tore open their chests, and took away their 'material' and stuffed it into the doll's body." The snow monster said lightly, "The technique is poor, but I will try to improve in the future."

Cat Jing picked up the statue and told who he was, then took Kelaya to visit Lulu as a guest - she believed in the snow monster, a monster that frightened the Mera magician and didn't bother to lie.

Zhuo Yan brings a glass of soda to the snow monster. This is the only taste that the snow monster misses when he comes to the Dawn Land. It is described as "a taste that can delay decay."

However, Lu Yu felt that the soda was only rated this way because the snow monster never eats the food in Meila's kitchen and insists on asking for ingredients to cook on his own.

Lu Yu had admired the cooking process of the snow monster, and then intuitively understood the description of the spiraling development of food culture and civilization.

High emotional intelligence: It retains the simple folk cooking methods of the Melias period.

Low emotional intelligence: a vital sign maintenance meal from a backward era six hundred years ago, and an extremely poor imitation of Melias's palace cuisine.

It stands to reason that a snow monster who insists on pushing the Mera continent forward, and uses his own existence to examine and spur the entire continent should be willing to absorb and learn new knowledge, but he can only eat this piece... When you look at the oil he extracted from the monster's body The piece of animal meat without blood and seasoning was stuffed into the mouth. At that moment, in addition to the numbness of the scalp, the scalp was still numb.

This way of eating does exist in Melias palace cuisine, but people use various spices and sauces to cleanse the animal oil and animal meat.

As the founder of the first era of human hegemony in the continent of Mera, Melias' culture has deeply influenced all races in Mera. This is evidenced by the fact that major taverns still offer popular dishes created during his existence.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu extremely doubted that the snow monster treated himself so harshly in eating this ring in order to slow down the impact of decay on itself so that it could choose different and new sensory stimulations in each period to maintain freshness. feel.

This was also a method of resisting decay mentioned by Laurend in the notes he gave to himself, but... it was too painful. Laurend's evaluation was that it was definitely a path that ordinary people could tread.

Being cruel to others is nothing, being cruel to oneself is truly terrifying.

The snow monster sipping orange soda was lying on the soft sofa, and the hard and cold lines on his face actually relaxed.

"The summons has indeed revived."

"ah?"

The snow monster made Lu Yu stunned for a moment. Why did he suddenly talk about summoning?

"While I was cleaning, I met a demon fox." The snow monster continued. "The demon fox from another continent used summons to try to stop me. In the past hundreds of years, your sect has been far more powerful than eighth-level magicians. Still rare.”

The snow monster took another sip and seemed to be sighing: "And now, in the alien continent where you are inactive, the knowledge of summoners is also reviving and circulating."

"Proud?" he asked.

The corners of Lu Yu's lips rose: "At least I am not ashamed of the pioneer consciousness in the temple who are watching over those who come after me."

He did not ask how the brave demon fox was doing. The snow monster always admired brave people with simple and righteous hearts, although he would always describe such people as "unreachable".

"I said the snow monster..." Lu Yu suddenly suggested, "Leave Mela and wander around?"

The snow monster narrowed his eyes slightly: "This proposal does not seem to come from fear of me, but what is the intention?"

"You may have traveled away from Mela, but times have changed, and you need to re-examine the changes that have occurred." Lu Yu said, "There is a poem in my hometown that says, 'If you don't know the true face of Mount Lu, you just live in this mountain. ', which means that the authorities often fail to see the whole picture."

Lu Yu emphasized: "Why not go out of 'Lushan'?"

"You think I'm becoming narrow-minded and unable to understand the changes in Meera?"

Zhuo Yan felt the tension in the conversation and quickly filled another glass of soda for the two of them. However, this time the snow monster did not enjoy the stimulation on the tip of his tongue. Instead, he straightened his body, sat upright, and stared at Lu Yu intently.

Lu Yu ignored the snow monster's rhetorical question and asked his own question instead.

"Snow monster, you claim to be a bystander of many civilizations in Mela, and you act as a spurr and judge intermittently to promote. For this reason, you caused the resurgence of infection and put the lives of all Mera people on the scale. above, driving them to complete their 'transformation'."

"Maybe you will think that being strong enough, beyond ordinary people's vision, and the experience brought by a long life make you superior to all living beings, so you have the right to make the right decision on behalf of the most ignorant group in your eyes, and This decision was based on the great starting point of 'becoming better for Mela'."

"But, do you really love Meera?"

"Are you questioning my original intentions?"

"No, looking at your deeds over hundreds of years, Meira, no one can deny your original intention. Even my teacher was shocked after witnessing it." Lu Yu said, "But she was disgusted from the beginning to the end. You are not based on the binary concept that she firmly believes that her path is correct and concludes that you are wrong, but because... what you love is an illusory continent."

The snow monster was silent, but still staring.

"In the initial era when magic infiltrated the world, that is, during the First Dragon Annals, civilization had already appeared on the Mera continent. The civilization continues to this day, and knowledge is continuously passed on. It is the billions of creatures living here that make this civilization glorious and make it today. Still immortal.”

Lu Yu leaned forward, facing the snow monster that seemed to represent history itself, and continued with his old, bright, bright, but sharp eyes.

"You are protecting Meira, but you abandon the creatures that revived Meira's glorious era. You regard them as numbers that can be erased at any time, and branches that should be pruned when necessary... If the branches and leaves are withered, I will also I can convince myself that I agree with your tailoring, but... your compassion is too high and too far, and your encouragement is too heavy. When you look up, it is the future, and time is just a snap in your eyes. The long years have made you cold, wise, and insightful into the world. , the things to think about have exceeded the limits of the thoughts of the creatures on this continent."

"Leave Mela, don't wear the shell of a 'snow monster', and experience the world again as a living being." Lu Yu said, "Don't make yourself less like a flesh-and-blood individual."

The snow monster closed his eyes.

"I don't agree with your opinion...but I have indeed not left Meira for many years. Maybe going out is beneficial."

"It's just that after I leave, can you deal with those restless opponents?" Snow Monster picked up the unsoaked orange soda and took a look at it. Zhuo Xiang wanted to change it for him, but he waved his hand to stop it.

"After the Dawn Trial is over, our reputation will make it easier for us to use necessary violence." Lu Yu said, "The magicians who have gained the hope of knowledge will support us unswervingly."

The snow monster said no more, stood up and left.

Before leaving, he chose a lime-flavored soda, a taste he had never tried before.

…

…

Since there was a lot of wealth hidden in the potion master's vault, Bunk stayed at the scene in order to fulfill Withermark's wish, and was eventually surrounded by the Sligo Messenger and the Silent One.

But fortunately, the well-trained Quiet Ones were able to distinguish the traces of the snow monster's spellcasting, and also reconstructed the process based on Bun's description.

After she was cleared of suspicion, the Quiet One did not stop her from continuing to search for compensation property and also shared some search results.

"We investigated the basement and found the puppet master's notes. Their criteria for selecting people are very complicated, but one of them... kills those who hold ardent hope, causing them to fall from the clouds and fall into the abyss of despair. The reason Yes, they think that by doing this, these obsessed souls will disperse at a slower speed, maintaining the freshness and integrity of the 'material' to the greatest extent."

This group of quiet people who work are obviously not very good at comforting people. These words make Little Bread inevitably think about it. If he had not been so kind and donated all the bounties to Kuwen and delayed it for a few days, would the outcome have changed?

The appearance of a horned Silent One made everyone awe-inspiring. After understanding the situation and seeing the depressed Bun, she understood everything.

"Your kindness is not a sin."

"Fate is unpredictable, don't punish yourself for the evil done by others."

Immediately, she ordered: "The snow monster will clean it up for us... If you don't feel embarrassed, you can remain indifferent."

After hearing the news, the consuls, messengers, and chiefs of the local magic academy remained silent and lowered their heads: "We will definitely pay more attention to the transaction between the puppet master and the potion master."

"Before that, let this adventurer's child complete its awakening, and by the way, send it to Dawn to participate in the trial."

"We have written down Lord Silence's order and will execute it immediately."

Bun watched the withered child shed tears and joined the Dawn Leader team organized by Sligo. This temporary group organized under Noel's instructions will be secretly protected by the Quiet Ones to prevent some people with dark minds. The brothers and sisters intercepted him on the road and poured dirty water on him.

Noel never overestimates the moral bottom line of this group of people.

The awakening of Kuwen's son was personally witnessed by Xiaobian. He was in tears and lost his mind throughout the whole process.

"Why my father?" is the question Xiao Kuwen asks the most.

Bun couldn't answer. Since the Battle of Blue Water, the uncertainty of fate had left her far away, until now, it was lingering around her again.

Fortunately, there was a silent explanation, and she was able to comfort herself. Then, she was curious and asked a question.

Why is this exceptionally beautiful lady with dragon horns so passionate about herself?

This was not a sensitivity that arose after the fact. As early as the first time he asked her name, Xiaobian had remembered the teachings of Xiao Keluer and shocked Silence with the name "Mushroom Soup".

Under Silent's arrangement, the clothes, pants, skirts, and perfumes that she needed to spend money to buy were all piled up in front of her, allowing her to take them as she pleased.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!

Little Bread politely refused and made an excuse to leave the shop, deciding to use his own ability to buy those beloved things before the trial began.

However, the reality is much more difficult than she imagined. After going around and around without getting high-level commissions, she once again needs to set her sights on low-level tasks...

"With your ability, you plan to exterminate rats again?"

Silence appeared in the lobby of the Adventurers Association. Dressed in regular clothes, she smiled and looked at the receptionist at the side to register the order details for a sixth-level magician.

Little Bread was still wary and ignored it.

"What if I tell you that there is a commission suitable for the sixth level and I need your help?"

Bun frowned: "What exactly do you want to do?"

With a smile on his face, Xiu Mo led the little bun into the busy city. Seeing that she was relaxed, he said, "I need to know, are you from a certain magical family?"

After thinking about his father and the blue water people taking care of him, Little Bun hesitated and nodded.

Silence sighed: "Don't you plan to stay in Mela for a long time?"

"probably not."

"Pity……"

Interviewed in person, she got an answer that made her deeply regretful.

As early as when he arrived at the scene, he felt the cold magic fragments that did not belong to the snow monster. When Xiaobian said that he had no hesitation in taking action against the snow monster, just to seek justice for an old man with whom he had a relationship, the intention of soliciting him was already there. sprout.

Unfortunately, the conditions are good, but the background hinders the continuation of fate.

However, the inability to become a silent one does not mean that one cannot continue to communicate.

Establishing cross-continental friendship and realizing the spread of Sligo's influence is the national policy decided by Noel, and he practices it in silence.

Silence completed the self-introduction and warmly welcomed Little Bun to the palace as a guest.

Hearing that Xiaobian, whose pseudonym is "Mushroom Soup", is still obsessed with the commission and imagining that he can find a place to accept himself, the corners of his mouth twitched in silence.

"No one will accept you."

"Because it's short-term, not long-term?" Xiaobian hesitated.

"This is just one of them." Silence explained, "The deeper reason is that they cannot understand your details and intentions as an outside sixth-level magician, so they will only treat you with caution, and people like you will only become Their 'glove' for dealing with shady things."

Compared with the powerful attributes of sixth-level magicians, the forces that can possess sixth-level magicians care more about the attribute of loyalty. Thinking of making money by working short-term jobs is completely nonsense.

Even if there is, it is all a dirty sin.

Little Bun was speechless. After a long time, she dejectedly accepted the invitation of silence.
