In just a few days, there have been incidents where rocks fell to the ground due to magic failure and almost injured people. In the first incident, Sera happened to be at the scene, and the nun in black survived.
In the second incident, thanks to the docile and lovely jungle slimes raised by Valen, they were keenly aware of the anomaly and hit the people under the stone regardless of their own safety, thus a tragedy was avoided.
Two chubby jungle slimes each lost most of their bodies due to the falling of a boulder. Their instinct to avoid danger allowed them to activate their elemental power, and by the way, they moved away the core that maintains life and basic consciousness. Although the whole body was quite weak. Not much, but fortunately still alive.
With the coming of the magic tide, the frequency of magic fluctuations became larger and larger. When safety could not be guaranteed, Sera stopped the construction of the entire Dawn Territory.
The two hero slimes quickly gained the love of everyone in the territory, and Valen quickly received questions about "What preparations are needed to adopt a slime?"
This was obviously beyond Valen's expectations. He bought slime to experiment with various flavors of "juice", but this juice was jokingly named "Slime Chewing Wine" by Lu Yu.
Valen didn't understand why it was wine, and chewing seemed wrong, because slime's eating method was decomposition, the same eating method as dark jellyfish, and Lu Yu should be very clear...
However, it was already known to everyone in the territory that Lu Yu would often throw out strange words, so Valen did not dwell too much on it and approved the naming.
All in all, slimes that were supposed to be part of the ranch suddenly broke into the hearts of many people in the territory as pets. Before that, slimes had always been representatives of low-intelligence monsters, and most people couldn't talk about them. Like - They are naturally friendly to magic and will always appear in some strange areas, causing people unimaginable trouble.
Purple Star carelessly came to the slime cellar built by Valen. Under the pressure, Valen could not resist the attack, so he had to teach her how to raise a water elemental slime brought back from Sligo Ranch. .
"We must not give it to the second person. The slimes haven't split and reproduce yet, so there aren't enough of them!" Valen looked at the slimes jumping around his feet and firmed up his mind.
"Valen, Sera wants a fire elemental slime to keep warm. You can pick one for me and I will carry it over."
Valen was stunned by Olga's words. After a while, he nodded, then blankly selected one from his feet and handed it to Olga.
"Lord Serra is the lord, so it's right to take one away, and don't say anything about the rest..."
"I forgot, Lady Lulu also needs one, the one she hugged before and used as a pillow."
"..."
Fortunately, Lu Yu didn't ask Valen for slime on a whim, and the entire territory took a short break. Waiting for the winter festival to come, he could naturally read a book in peace in the room.
Lu Yu held the book and faced the fireplace. On the left was the snow demon version of Lulu, and on the right was the light jellyfish that filled him with light like a desk lamp. The warm heat of the fireplace hit my face, and was gently relieved by the chill of the snow demon maintaining its existence... It was so comfortable, this feeling was comparable to turning on the air conditioner and covering yourself with a quilt in the summer!
The book Lu Yu was reading could not be said to be too obscure, but the content was full of useful information and was extremely tedious. From time to time, he would turn his head to admire "Lulu"'s face, and then continue reading contentedly - this was better than going to the warehouse to look at mountains of books. The rich variety of food also relieves stress. You only need to watch it carefully for more than ten seconds, and all mental fatigue will be gone!
only…
"Xu Yu, it doesn't matter if you read historical documents to gain insights, but you have to hold the door for me. Don't let the mist demon or others suddenly push the door in."
"I know, I know, this is the third time you have said that I am your engraved summon. Am I that unreliable?" Xu curled his lips, "It's still sneaky to summon a snow demon Lulu..."
"You do not understand!"
"Yes, yes, I don't understand. I'm very curious about the book you're reading now. It's an entry-level doll making manual written by Vanessa. The books on the table next to you were also written by Vanessa. Doll making book, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
He held his chin for a moment: "I won't tell you what you want to do. Do you want me to help you?"
"Help...help with what?"
"According to the magician, Vanessa's book was written more than five hundred years ago. It should only be useful for beginners, and the other parts are not as good as Clorons's Twilight City puppet map. There..." He chuckled for a moment, "I can borrow it for you."
"I haven't learned to walk yet, and you're going to make me run?"
"What about the future? After you learn to walk, do you need my help?"
"..."
"Maybe."
"That's right, start buying my stomach now. I want to eat sweet and sour dishes tonight!"
Lu Yu felt like he was being pinched to death for a moment, but Lawrence's experience in making dolls...he was really moved.
Vanessa's introductory doll making was basically taught step by step, and she only needed to use a rice spoon to pour the knowledge into Lu Yu's mouth. Therefore, when summarizing, he already had a strong desire to practice.
But the first target obviously cannot be Lulu, it must be perfect, and it must be done in one step, so he needs to get something else to practice first...
Just as Lu Yu was thinking about it, Xu sighed and said "tsk, tsk, tsk" for a moment.
"How well do you know about the Drained Spirit War?" he asked suddenly.
"It's okay. There are many documents preserved by the four major countries and even the entire Mela tribe about that war, so I read a lot of books during my free time in the Papal Tower."
"The Six Pillars of Solon, they died one after another after the war ended, and soon after the founding of Solon... They obviously paid so much, but in the end the throne was obtained by a family other than the Six Pillars."
This point mentioned for a moment also made Lu Yu feel a little emotional.
The Six Pillars of Solon died of illness one after another in less than a month after the founding of the People's Republic of China. This is what is said to the outside world.
In fact, Laurent and even Royer believed in another possibility.
The Soaked Spirit War has severely damaged the bodies of these six heroes. They have been fighting monsters that can pollute their spirits for a long time. Their minds are on the verge of collapse. The remaining consciousness is just to "witness" a brand new country in the decaying plum blossoms. Lias's body was born and forced to hold on.
Among the six pillars, five were born in humble origins, and only one had aristocratic blood. They suffered oppression and abuse during the Melias era. After witnessing all the tragedies on the earth, they only hoped that this brand-new country could save the giant owl who once lived in the world. People unable to breathe in the shadows.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, contaminated spirits, this land has suffered too much.
In the end, with their promotion and efforts, Solon was established, the impregnated spirit disappeared, and the last obsessions of the six of them also dissipated.
Even the controversial first emperor of Sligo, who had a bad record of deceiving dragons, always took the lead in every battle during that catastrophe. Books from all major races, even dragons, recorded that he and the Suicide Squad were summoners. They created a record of placing summoned objects in the space.
The first emperor of Sligo only ruled for three years, and he got drunk at a banquet.
The first emperor of Cordzoun was even more legendary. He himself had been infected by the impregnated spirit, but he relied on incredible willpower to resist the erosion. After the war, he was always tormented by hallucinations and pain, and the entire country During his six years in office, half of the time his regime was controlled by his friends who fought bloody battles with him.
After the death of the first emperor, these friends who later became the first generation of Shadow Guards did not accept anyone's advice in the country, nor did they kill each other because of power. Instead, they unanimously supported the first emperor's young son and did not retreat until he took full power. He stayed behind the scenes and died of illness collectively the following year.
The greatest legacy they left to the sons of their old friends was the will of the Empire, the Shadow Guard, belonging to Cordzoun.
Laurend once saw the sealed scroll when he visited Cordzon.
The group of friends who had resisted Melias with the first emperor of Cordzon and later fought against the Imbued Spirits, only six people were left when the nation was founded. They had promised that they would never betray each other until they died.
Promise, the most weighty and least weighty thing, is as fragile as an alliance.
However, this fragile thing was guarded by six people. As if to explain what friendship was, they held the bottom line in that turbulent era and ushered in their own end.
The impregnated spirit, this catastrophe that affected the entire Mela, brought together humans who were fighting, fighting, and fighting each other in a rare way. For the first time, they truly put aside their prejudices and barriers and stood together.
The glorious era is the wealth left by every hero of that era to future generations. It pierces the shadow cast by Melias, the giant owl, on this land.
Since then, there has been no such dazzling light.
Laurend said that he was moved and cried when reading that period of history. Lu Yu, as an outsider, was filled with excitement when reading it.
Loyalty, benevolence, trust, friendship, bravery and many other beautiful qualities can be found in that extremely dark era. They gathered together little by little, and finally defeated the giant hand that strangled human existence, and led the human race to stand on the top of the mountain for the first time. Reached the pinnacle of Mera Continent.
Lu Yu, who was recalling that period of history, was brought back to reality by looking for books for a moment.
"What are you looking for?"
"Oh, I want to see if any scholars have studied what the impregnated spirit is and how it appears." Xu asked for a moment, "Aren't you curious how such a strange life can appear quietly, like a plague? It spread throughout Mela and then disappeared in a very short period of time?”
"According to what I have read during this period, no country or race has stated in its books that it has 'solved the Drained Spirit'. Most of the descriptions state that at a certain moment, the infection and replication power of the Drained Spirit subsided. No longer able to infect living creatures with impunity.”
Lu Yu was also puzzled by the question raised for a moment.
The power of the impregnated spirit to pollute thoughts and turn the polluted into sources of pollution is very powerful. In the early days of the war, all races were retreating steadily. Only the dragon relied on its powerful magic power to defeat some remotely.
How powerful is the filthy power of the impregnated spirit?
The historical records of the forest elves north of Solon describe a detail of the fall of the Raging Ridge Dragon.
The giant dragon relied on its flying advantage to clean up a large number of impregnated spirits, but it was actually infected by a group of contaminated birds and a few flying monsters.
The forest elves only saw the flock of birds flying back and forth next to the giant dragon. Soon after, the giant dragon fell to the ground as if it was bewitched, and then its mind was completely contaminated by the large number of impregnated spirits on the ground.
Some people were contaminated by mushroom men buried in the soil while walking, while others were contaminated by flying insect monsters hidden in the branches of trees.
The warriors of all races fighting against the impure spirits are very similar to the warriors who clean the "roof" in Chernobyl. They can only fight against the clock. When the time is up, they must return.
In actual wars, warriors are completely unable to do this. In the end, they can only exchange one for another with the belief that they must die.
With such a powerful pollution ability, if they are a kind of "energy" in themselves, then why do their energy suddenly and rapidly deplete, and then they can no longer be infected and are slaughtered?
Is the intensity of contamination between infected individuals closely related? Otherwise, why would they lose their contamination ability together?
After countless questions could not be answered, they traced the origin, and countless later scholars also asked the same questions for a while.
"Where did they come from?"
The earliest reports of Drained Spirits came from northwest Melias, where today's Wrath Mountain Ridge borders the land of the Wood Elves to the north.
After the war, a large number of scholars explored the nearby area, but found nothing.
There is not a single trace of the Infested Spirit in this lifeless area destroyed by the Infused Spirit. There are only countless infected corpses scattered around. When they arrived, they had turned into perfect fertilizer to nourish this troubled land.
The major countries firmly believe that the Drained Spirit has not been solved by them, because no country has discovered the source of the Drained Spirit. They just struggle to organize the refugees, unite together, and resist attacks again and again.
Among them, in order to explore the truth, they did send death squads deep into the area where the infested spirits densely exist, but there was no news from each team.
This is simply a fantasy. The impregnated spirits that attacked the entire Mela at their peak lost all combat power in less than a month, and the original source of infection could not be traced.
"It can't be divine punishment, right?"
The words spoken by the first emperor of Sligo in a mocking tone were recorded, and for a long time thereafter, were considered to be a reasonable explanation by scholars who studied the impregnated spirits.
And the first emperor of Codezon, who was crazy and struggled all day long between hallucinations, dreams, and reality, unable to distinguish between any one of them, said this before his death.
"They may come back."
"Maybe today, maybe tomorrow!"
