Chapter 439 438. Summoning Ritual Changes
It was difficult to explain to Xiao Niba why Luo Ye didn't come back.
Luo Ye personally avenged Xiao Niba's blood feud. Before meeting the people of Chenxi, Luo Ye was the only kind human in her eyes. He kept his promises, was strong, and friendly, and was an existence that people could rely on.
From noon to dusk, Lu Yu would think twice before speaking every time, trying to leave out the parts of his words that might hurt Xiao Niba.
Xiao Niba was silent most of the time until the bell rang in Chenxi to call everyone home for dinner, and the two people in the room raised their heads and looked out the window.
"Lord... Mr. Luo Ye, did he do something wrong?" Xiao Niba asked with difficulty.
Lu Yu patted Xiao Niba's head and rubbed her cheeks: "I once told Mu and Wu Yao that many things cannot be simply distinguished by right or wrong, good or bad. Um... do you think I am a good person?"
"Of course, you are kinder than the lords of the Civita region. You have never forced everyone in the territory to work, and even gave them an unimaginable good life and a free and relaxed environment. Before you, I dare not imagine that there would be a lord willing to do this."
Lu Yu has become accustomed to the low standards of "kindness" held by outsiders. He just smiled and continued.
"But a country called Celer hates me to the core because I did some small things on their land, which made their invasion come to naught. I killed many people with my own hands. You see, I am actually a bad person, right?"
"This..."
Lu Yu pushed open the door and woke up the tangled little mud: "Play with Mu and learn with her. Some things are not urgent to understand. Chenxi will give you enough time to grow."
The evening breeze blew on Lu Yu's face. He lay on the terrace of the mansion, enjoying the long-lost time alone.
"So I said, Valen should be fed sweet things, sweet things. Everyone in Dawn Territory loves sweet things, and many people have not been able to enjoy the sweet taste before. Look at Judith's survey."
"But Olga... I have never refuted this point. We just fed the herbs that can refresh the slime first. Now the refreshing drinks are very popular. You should tell Waller..."
Olga and Valen were walking and discussing, and they were so engrossed that they almost bumped into Sigrid who passed by.
Sigrid, holding the scroll and the communication statue, did not take the usual route. She stepped lightly on the wall, jumped onto the terrace and landed beside Lu Yu.
"Milai sent a letter."
Lu Yu took the little rabbit statue left by Sera.
"Lord Lu Yu, I have purchased a mansion in Wupu City. The communication array has been set up in the upper study of the mansion. In order to conceal my identity, I suggest creating an identity of a famine-fighting merchant and temporarily settle here."
After the immersion disaster ended, the Glory Academy no longer shared the information network of the Church with the Dawn Territory.
This is not because they are prejudiced against the Dawn Territory. No matter how the Glory Academy feels about Lu Yu, they are still the core decision-making group of the Church and must safeguard the interests of the Church. Sharing information channels may inadvertently leak important secrets.
Although it is in a corner and has no excessive ambitions, the Dawn Territory still needs to have a basic understanding of external information, especially when the magic tide is coming and the current situation is unpredictable.
Before Sera and Lulu left, the three of them discussed that Mile would establish an information channel for the Dawn Territory. It does not need to achieve the level of mutual penetration between the four major countries and the major races. It only needs to collect and confirm the information circulating in the streets and alleys.
This was not a difficult task for Mile. As a former incarnation of light, although she had never maintained information channels, she was very familiar with the practices and detailed operations of other companions.
"In the Church, believers are the source of information, and if we leave the Church, gold coins can get most of the information we need."
Mile immediately made a basic judgment after knowing her mission, and applied to Sigrid to open the basement vault.
Sigrid originally thought that Mile would take away a heavy box of gold coins in the basement shining with golden light, but Mile took away silver coins and copper coins, and they were all ancient coins from the alien continent that had not yet been melted.
Due to the intermittent fluctuations and environmental changes brought by the magic tide, Mile was unable to contact the Dawn Territory along the way. It was not until he chose a place to stay that Lu Yu was shocked to find that this strangely named Wupu City was actually ruled by the Green Shade Territory, and it was the forefront of the Green Shade Territory's territory and a large port city.
Perhaps guessing Lu Yu's confusion, Mile in the statue specifically explained when this port belonged to Green Shade Territory.
"Just eight days ago, the lord of Wupu City surrendered to Green Shade Territory without any signs, allowing Green Shade Territory to completely open up the sea route."
"The sea route was put into use again on the same day. Everything in Wupu City was normal. Everyone in the city welcomed Tanya's arrival. We can even see the residents bringing wine and food to the Green Shade Territory guards... However, I tend to think it was a show, because most people hid at home that day."
Lu Yu looked carefully at the map, and he realized something: "The ships in Wupu City on that day were heading north, right?"
After a long time, Mile replied again.
"Lord Lu Yu is right. The ship that departed that day was fully loaded and sailed to Storm Harbor, delivering a large amount of supplies to Zenil, including potions, food, weapons, and everything else, possibly even some precious magic-breaking stones and magic guns that only Solon's elite guards have."
Hearing this, Sigrid widened her eyes, while Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
What kind of father-son relationship is this? Tanya and Zenil actually reached an agreement in private.
Sitting in the safe area, Tanya, who has not yet received the focus of Divik, raised supplies in the southwest area that has not been affected by the infected spirit to consolidate the rule of the territory, while Zenil was responsible for confronting Divik head-on with all his strength.
The question is, if Zenil really succeeds, how will the two of them get along?
Fight again?
Lu Yu guessed: "Tanya should have released the caravan. Since they have taken over the Wupu Port, as long as they open up the south, they can reactivate the trade route and let the money flow again in their territory."
Milai said admiringly: "She is doing exactly what the adults said."
"The Green Shade Territory troops heading south seem to have reached a cooperation with the major races living in the Molten Mountains, promising to jointly ensure the smooth flow of trade routes during wartime. Not long ago, the first batch of goods carrying Tanya's permission and Tanya's name on them had set off from the Green Shade Territory, heading south, officially crossing the Molten Mountains, and conducting large-scale transactions in the Molten Mountains area."
"I heard that their goal is not just the Molten Mountains, they will continue to go south, enter the Red Flame Mountains, pass under the Great Snow Mountain, and reach the Port of Demoris, trying to completely connect the entire southwest corner of Mela."
Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but cheer for Tanya.
These caravans supported by her are her best propaganda machines. Wherever the caravans go, they will definitely leave the name of Princess Green Shade, and her actions are completely impeccable.
The southwestern corner of Mela, including Dawn Territory and Broken Gold City, is already remote and there are few merchants. If necessary, they must go to the port of Demoris in the Church for supplies. There has never been a systematic long-term flow of caravans, and Tanya has filled this gap on her own.
"She will quietly eat what others don't like." Lu Yu murmured Lulu's evaluation of Tanya.
Among Divik's descendants, Zenir is the representative of the powerful and outstanding personal abilities, and naturally he has gathered a group of people with good abilities around him.
The rest of the descendants, some are rich, some have family support, but Tanya, she has nothing.
In Divik's definition, she is a catfish, allowing her descendants to devote more energy to the Royal Chicken Eating Competition, and finally garrison the border towns of various places for the Solon Empire under the magic tide to consolidate his rule.
It is precisely because she has nothing that Tanya chooses to eat the leftovers that her arrogant brothers and sisters despise. There is no doubt that the opening of the southwest corner of Mela is the case.
You think she is smart, but some things she does are stupid, abandoning Lulu and choosing fame.
But you think she is stupid, her level and grade are obviously higher than the royal nobles that Lu Yu has seen.
"How is the battle between Divik and Zenil?"
"According to the news from Wupu City, both sides have won and lost. After the disadvantage in the early stage, Zenil stabilized his position and personally killed the enemy in the melee of magicians, forcibly reversing the situation."
In fact, the situation is far more outrageous than Mile said. According to the news from the city-state in front, Zenil brought his guards to the battle zone in order to rescue the secretary Leticia who was trapped in the enemy camp, and personally killed no less than four fifth-level magicians here.
After confirming that Leticia was safe, Zenil first asked his guards to transfer her back to the rear, and then blocked the gap of the opponent's high-level magician in a one-for-one exchange with the fearless magician, and took a small number of Pegasus cavalry to dive into the magic gun position at low altitude, destroying their formation.
In this battle, the high-level magicians of Divik had great strength, but they never dared to get too close to the magicians of Zenir, because these low-level magicians never spared their lives.
Regarding Zenir's historic victory of the weak over the strong, Solon implemented a strong gag order, but it could not stop the people from talking about it, and most of the rumors among the people were exaggerated.
Mile could not distinguish the truth from the falsehood, especially the part where the low-level magicians made suicidal attacks to persuade the high-level magicians to retreat.
"Level 6 and above are high-level. As long as a level 6 magician concentrates, it will be very difficult for low-level magicians from level 2 to 4 to approach. If it really reaches the point where even level 6 magicians cannot defend, then I want to know where Zenil got such a large number of magicians who are willing to sacrifice their lives for it?"
Lu Yu just smiled and replied: "Just listen to the battle situation on the front line. The winning side will always myth their winning process, and the losing side will find various reasons to shirk the responsibility for the defeat and hide the real reason for the failure."
"Is there any movement in the North?"
"If it's about Roye Fedina, I only heard that they repelled the first batch of troops that Divik entered the North, but there is no way to know the process. The North is like a fog, and now no one knows the detailed information of this uninhabited area."
Lu Yu laughed. If someone had told everyone in Dawn Territory a year ago that Solon would fall apart and fight each other in the future, no one would have believed it.
As one of the four major countries, Solon still has its foundation. What kind of turmoil can make it decline so quickly?
And now, Solon has been divided into four.
Roye, who controls the northern border of the no-man's land.
Prince Zenir of Storm, who controls the northwest coastal area
In the central and eastern parts, the Divik Solon Dynasty can still be called the orthodox.
Finally, there is the Green Shade Territory, which is constantly expanding its influence and developing quietly in the corner where no one pays attention.
Lu Yu is also very curious about who will win in the end. At the same time, he believes that the snow monster who was persuaded by his teacher Vanessa not to seek death must also be silently observing this turmoil.
What kind of evaluation will he make of this turmoil in his heart?
"Solon should be grateful for the short golden period brought by the disaster that saved them, otherwise the major races would not be willing to be lonely and would rush to Solon together to join in the celebration."
"However, how long can such peace last? The reshuffle brought by the magic tide is mandatory." Lu Yu shook his head, somewhat helpless.
After a long time of contact with Mile, Lu Yu returned to the terrace again. The lights of the wooden house in the distance were still bright, and the cheerful and noisy voices drifted into his ears with the wind.
He stared at the front for a long time, greedily taking in everything, until it floated in front of him without any tact.
"Maybe you should read the atmosphere, my emotions have just been brewing..." Lu Yu sighed.
"Next time, I will definitely do it. I just suddenly want to ask you, why did you disperse Xiao An when you are fine?"
"Disperse?" Lu Yu was stunned, "I didn't, isn't Xiao An nourishing the fog monster?"
Looking back, the poor fog monster rolled into a small ball on the table.
"Let the magic fluctuate, I'll summon again."
This time, the feeling of blockage from the summoning ritual was particularly strong. Lu Yu frowned slightly and continued to use magic to light up the nodes of the ritual, but the feeling of blockage became stronger and stronger. The river that should have been rushing seemed to be cut off by a boulder. All the magic hit the boulder, only splashing countless waves, but unable to affect it at all.
Xiao An appeared, but Lu Yu felt dizzy and dizzy. This summoning almost exhausted his magic power.
"...When did the shaping summon consume so much magic power...ha...It's so uncomfortable...ha..." Lu Yu, panting and seeing stars, leaned against the wall and said in confusion.
