Chapter 106 105 Preparation for Land Reclamation
Chapter 106 105. Preparation for land reclamation
Based on the list provided by Lulutis, Sigrid found the elves in the sanctuary.
Moore, who finally waited until Lu Yu made the request, concluded with just one glance that Lu Yu's list was specifically designed to deal with hallucinations.
"Write down the list and immediately find the materials they want."
Old Moore's attitude towards the Silent Mountains is not as disgusting as most people think.
Through the curse on his own child, he saw magic beyond his comprehension at his level.
If it weren't for the fact that the previous two teams led by crystal-level warriors were completely wiped out, he would have long wanted to inform the Elf King and send a small team to go deeper.
Some people in the Elf Sanctuary, as well as the Elf Elders, feel that the Silent Mountains contain secrets that ordinary people cannot imagine, and that as long as they are obtained, they can spy on the secrets of high-level magic.
They will note down all Lu Yu's preparations for entering the Silent Mountains, and then send out men at the right time to get the answer they desperately seek.
Lu Yu had already had a premonition that the Silent Mountains were not simple, and he also smelled something strange from the hospitality of the Sanctuary elves.
It would be understandable for a sixth-level magician to be groveling to a child, but it was unusual for a group of Sanctuary elves to behave in the same way.
After looking through the files of the Silent Mountains, he also guessed what these elves wanted to do.
Although he had already made an agreement with the Elf King, he would only take Sigrid and the others with him when he entered, and would not need the elf's manpower.
But what if the elves formed their own team, did not follow them, and explored the Silent Mountains alone?
After all, the Silent Mountains are in Thoresen's territory, and Lu Yu can't stop them.
However, Lu Yu did not add any information to Lulutis' potion list this time. He honestly gave these elves the correct list.
Because he was sure that things in the Silent Mountains were far from being as simple as they seemed on the surface.
Through information sorting, Lu Yu discovered that "light" was mentioned in the communications between the first team and the second team before they were completely wiped out.
The first team said they saw a brilliant stream of light.
The second team was exposed to a dazzling purple light before being attacked, and their eyes had an obvious burning sensation.
Considering that this group of people could still fight normally after that, it can be determined that they were not blinded, but suffered eye discomfort after being exposed to strong light.
Sigrid listened to the discussion between Lulutis and Lu Yu and wrote down an issue worth noting.
"What's that glowing light?"
Then there is the "giant thing" that both teams have mentioned.
The first team said they saw a dark purple giant reflecting each of them.
This description is very strange. Lulutis is also well-read. The dark purple giant may be born from the veins that are dark purple in color, but it can reflect the appearance of people... Could it be that this giant is a mirror?
The giant thing the second team faced was not described in detail, except that it moved in incredible ways.
The third problem is magic.
The Silent Mountains are named because of the scarcity of magic power in this place. The closer to the center of the mountains, the stronger the sense of oppression felt by magicians who are proficient in magic.
However, both teams actually said that they were attacked with magic by their opponents, and that there was magic everywhere.
After writing the third question, Sigrid had already written the last question in advance, raised her head and looked at Lulutis.
"Is there really magic that can resurrect the dead in this world?"
Lulutis clicked her tongue: "If there is really magic that can resurrect the dead, then the way for high-level magicians to avoid death now is not to study how to replace a 'new body'."
"To resurrect the dead, this kind of magic has never appeared before. Even in the imagination, it is a tenth-level magic."
"Huo Gu also said before that there are still levels after the tenth level, so I doubt whether the power of resurrecting the dead can be mastered by a magician."
Lu Yu touched his chin and muttered: "Perhaps what they saw at the last moment was not the dead, but an illusion?"
"I don't rule out that something can manipulate the dead body, but I have some doubts that the body can be kept in that place for hundreds of years without decaying." Lulutis did not deny Lu Yu's guess.
When it comes to magic, Lulutis is always full of energy.
She was said to be in the same boat as Lu Yu along the way, but most of the time she just played the role of an encyclopedia.
If something goes wrong, it depends on Lu Yu's performance.
In actual combat, Sigrid can fight better than her.
His biggest role at present seems to be to act as a super strong shield to ensure Lu Yu's safety.
A seventh-level magician eats and sleeps every day, takes a nap on the shoulders of his companions when he has nothing to do, and plays Landlords with his companions when he has nothing to do...
Therefore, Lulutis is always active when she can help Lu Yu.
"We have the help of the mist demon this time, so we should be able to bring more medicine in." Lu Yu began to discuss war preparations.
As soon as Aesop saw this posture, he smiled and left, saying that he would come over after dinner.
Before leaving, Aesop also took away the two administrators who were still classifying the books.
Seeing Aesop clearing the place, Sigrid began to speak freely.
"It doesn't cost us any money anyway. Let's ask them for more materials that are difficult to collect and make some better potions. Even if we can't use them in the Silent Mountains, we can continue to use them in the future."
After traveling for a long time, Sigrid has lost the cuteness she had in Asna and has become a shrewd little housekeeper.
"I agree. Lulutis, please pick a few versatile potions and make a list. Add more ingredients and let the elves of the sanctuary help us."
During the conversation, the fog demon, who had been transforming between the book and the orange, rarely interrupted.
"Lulu, you can also take this opportunity to try to refine my transformation potion!"
As he said this, the fog demon turned into another Lulutis, swaying in front of her, and the tentacles he imitated swayed back and forth, making people dizzy.
Since following Lu Yu's journey, the fog demon has been suffering, but this is not because Lu Yu's team treats her badly, but because of the food.
In the past, living with Huogu, absorbing magic cores by herself was considered to improve her life. As a life condensed by magic power, she would not feel hungry as long as there was magic power.
And Huogu's eating made the fog demon watching completely lose her appetite, so she had no concept of delicious food at all.
The so-called "I have never seen the light, I can endure the darkness" is like this.
Lu Yu tried all kinds of ways to make delicious food for Sigrid and Lulutis along the way, and she could only watch...
"Refine, you can refine anything, as long as you have the materials, I will help you, wait, I will write a list."
Lulutis also felt that it would be a waste if they didn't take advantage of this wool. They should get a commission for dealing with the big trouble of Silent Mountains.
Seeing the elves of the sanctuary taking Lulutis's list as if they had found a treasure, Lu Yu sincerely hoped that they would do more mental exercises and try to figure out what they were doing through permutations and combinations.
Finding the administrator squatting outside the door reading a book, Lu Yu asked: "Is there any record about the incomplete elves in Silent Mountains?"
The administrator searched for a long time and asked many people, and then found a few miscellaneous notes that recorded what these elves saw and heard near Silent Mountains.
There was not much useful information, but Lu Yu still found some places worth noting.
The reason why these elves went to Silent Mountains was not because it was a Feng Shui treasure land, but they went there voluntarily.
It was because Duke Mel and several knights around him drove all the disabled elves in their territory there.
They said to the outside world that they were keeping them away from harassment and opening up wasteland in exchange for the respect of the tribe.
In fact, it was exile.
Over time, throwing disabled elves to the Silent Mountains became a consensus.
The environment of the Silent Mountains is extremely harsh for elves. The basic entertainment of the monsters here is hunting, and they have a good appetite and are not picky about food, so the elves' small bodies are also on their menu.
Few disabled elves have been able to systematically learn magic and self-defense since they were born. They were suddenly exiled to such a wild place. It was the mercy of the gods that they could die without pain.
In order to survive, these elves united together.
Regardless of their origins, regardless of age, they helped each other and lived humbly in several caves.
According to subsequent records, none of the elves who were exiled to the Silent Mountains in the early days were spared.
On the contrary, the elves who were exiled later caught up with the good time when the Elf King ascended the throne and reversed the trend.
They were able to settle down outside the Silent Mountains, and were allowed by the Elf King to set up a mercenary union and recruit outstanding people to help defend.
Lu Yu asked Aesop about the reason why he did not send troops. It was because it was the territory of Duke Mel, and the Elf King was not convenient to intervene directly, so he could only help them in this way.
During the period when the monsters of the Silent Mountains attacked the surrounding towns, the Elf King also took the opportunity to divide the territory of Duke Mel, whose territory influence declined, to this group of disabled elves, so that they had a new place to live.
Seeing Lu Yu looking at the information about disabled elves for a long time, Lulutis wondered: "What are you looking at these for? The problem of the Silent Mountains should be related to Sayer, right?"
Lu Yu closed the book full of blood and tears, and his mood had not yet calmed down. Hearing Lulutis say this, he nodded blankly and said subconsciously.
"It's just intuition, it's okay."
The genius who transcended the times, Sayer Lucamia, is a human, not an elf.
Seven hundred years before the strange phenomenon appeared in the Silent Mountains, Sayer seemed not to have been born, so this should have nothing to do with him.
But more than a hundred years ago, the curse that could pollute the language ability in the monsters of the Silent Mountains was indeed written by Sayer.
Sayer had been dead for almost six hundred years at this time.
The two times did not match, which made Lu Yu quite confused.
If Sayer really came to the Silent Mountains, why did he come? What did he do in the Silent Mountains that made this land gradually become fierce.
Too many puzzles lingered in Lu Yu's mind, and all the answers were hidden in this place that made Soresen feel uneasy.
In the next few days, Lu Yu and his party, who were fully focused on preparing for the trip to the Silent Mountains, hardly left their homes.
Sigrid continued to chew on the book, hoping to find some clues.
Lulutis, who got the materials, kept tinkering with the potion in the room. Because she now has the strength of the third level, the potion she made is more stable than before, and there will be no large amount of waste.
As for Lu Yu, he was constantly perfecting his action plan after entering the Silent Mountains.
Unlike the battle with the goblins in Yas, this time he had no idea who his enemy was.
Crystal-level warriors, people who are comparable to sixth-level magicians, are just going to die if they enter the Silent Mountains. This operation is extremely dangerous.
But... they must go.
The seal of Lulutis and the secrets left by the ninth-level magician who transcends the times all attract Lu Yu and his group to explore.
The Silent Mountains will not make the summons ineffective, but as you go deeper, the suppression effect will increase, and Lu Yu will not be able to recover his magic power.
Once the summons are destroyed in the process, the price must be paid in advance, and Lu Yu, who has scarce magic power in his body, may be in big trouble.
Therefore, Lu Yu selected one from the list of summons to test the world consciousness, and decided to bring a crystal that can store more magic power than the magic core, just in case.
During this period, Lu Yu learned from Aesop that the elves in the sanctuary gathered together almost every day to study Lulutis's medicine list.
If Lu Yu's residence was not close to the palace, they would even want to peek at the process of refining medicine.
Research well, study hard!
There are so many materials, and after the arrangement and combination, I guess your sanctuary elves will be warned by the group of respected high-level magicians first.
Every day, the discarded medicine residues and failed potions of Lulutis would be burned in the courtyard by the fog demon and Sigrid with phosphorus powder used to destroy corpses and traces. Before burning, they would even add a little "ingredients". Even if the sanctuary elves picked up the garbage, they could only vaguely recognize a few parts.
Seeing that more and more potions were successfully refined in the room, Lu Yu actually felt a sense of joy of harvest.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Yu went to the palace and met the Elf King who had just finished handling government affairs and looked tired.
The Elf King was full of apologies when he saw Lu Yu's visit.
"Sorry, I've been away for too long. There are a lot of things to deal with, so I couldn't accompany you in person."
Lu Yu didn't think there was anything wrong, but told the Elf King that his preparations were basically completed, and as long as the potion was finished, he could set off.
Hearing this news, the Elf King stood up excitedly and paced excitedly, but then he looked embarrassed.
After hesitating for a while, the Elf King said, "Sir Lu Yu, please forgive me. You told me before that you don't want anyone to accompany you into the Silent Mountains. I may not be able to guarantee this anymore."
"The Sanctuary has organized its own people and found a lot of mercenaries to conduct a third exploration. Their exploration has been approved by the Sanctuary and the elders. Even if I am the king, I cannot stop their action this time. After all, the Silent Mountains are there..."
"The only thing I can guarantee is that I won't let them follow you and bother you."
Lu Yu smiled and drank a sip of tea, thanking the Elf King for his kindness.
When he walked out of the palace, the corners of his mouth rose.
Looking back at the palace, he murmured, "You can stop them from following me, but you can't stop them from exploring... You don't just want them to die, do you?"
