On the way to the palace by Solon's palace servants, Lu Yu happened to meet Noel. Noel immediately approached him with a smile, and then waved to the servant in disgust, indicating that he could leave.
Lu Yu still couldn't refuse Noel's enthusiasm. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Vanessa in the team. He had never seen this elf during his recent visit to Sligo.
He first confirmed Gulu's expression, then observed Lu Yu's expression, and said seriously: "Maybe you should introduce me to this beautiful elf lady?"
"Vanessa, a high-level elf magician from outside Mera."
Vanessa greeted Noel with a smile.
Noel hugged Lu Yu and turned his back: "I underestimated you."
Lu Yu was shocked as soon as the words came out. He immediately knew that Noel had misunderstood something, and this was not a good idea!
"I must declare that my relationship with her is by no means what you imagine. Strictly speaking, she is my teacher."
Fortunately, Noel had a strong ability to observe people's emotions and did not blurt out the words "teacher's relationship will make you more excited" which he would have probably blurted out in the past. Faced with Vanessa, an elf who clearly suited his own aesthetics, he immediately reported With the utmost respect, he politely reiterated his identity to her, and said such appropriate words as "Lu Yu's friend is also my friend, welcome to Slaigo as a guest."
The Quiet Ones had already noticed Vanessa, but no matter how they looked, Vanessa did not reveal any magical aura. It was like a void that swallowed up their extended "tentacles". She just walked like this, interacting with the magical power. Insulated from anyone's power.
The celebration named [Day of Liberation] by Solon is of high standard. As far as Noel knows, all the large races with names in Mera, regardless of their past grievances, will visit today.
"Actually, we were not very satisfied with the celebration being held in Rodmere. We once proposed to choose a middle region of the four major countries to hold it together. In the end, Antonio made the decision, saying that in order to usher in the next glorious era, the four major nations should hold the ceremony together with all the major races. The banner of fertility and health, for which a stable and stable Solonian regime is necessary."
"You also know that Solon suffered the heaviest losses in this infestation. There were almost no living people in the entire northern territory. The fact that such a vast ruling area became a no-man's land was enough to make Dewek anxious. However, his top priority must not be Possibly to repopulate the North, as his decision-making during the war was highly questionable, plus we..."
Lu Yu coughed: "Without us, it was you. His Majesty the Emperor of Slaigo put a huge hat on him."
"Well, my head maid has made a huge sacrifice in this regard, and his character has been criticized. Therefore, Solon's great nobles and the lords of surrounding city-states seem to be ready to move, so his top priority is to maintain authority and consolidate power. .”
"Antonio doesn't want Solon to fall into long-term turmoil, so he discussed with me whether he is willing to put aside his 'hate' and add some legitimacy and rationality to Divek's authority. For this reason, the Theocracy is willing to make some concessions in business. .”
Lu Yu and Lu Lu, who were admiring the luxurious and majestic palaces in the distance with some solemnity, opened their eyes wide.
Noel also had a look of emotion on his face.
"Is this how you see Laurend..."
Lu Yu couldn't help but think of Laurent. Everyone said that Antonio only had the power to maintain his achievements. Compared with Laurent, he was clumsy in handling affairs. Sometimes he was even criticized for being too conservative. But on the issue of post-war recovery , but he showed the overall view and benevolence that matched Laurend.
Even the most stupid ruler can see that after the end of the Dip Infection War, all the tribes once again ushered in the honeymoon period of cooperation. Except for Lu Yu and others who already knew that the Dip Infection would not reappear in the world, all the tribes in Mela were worried about the Dip Infection. One arrival.
If there is one and there are two, then there must be three.
In the second disastrous disaster that they had already accumulated and experienced, the Mera tribes still failed to effectively reduce the losses caused by the dissemination. Instead, they missed many opportunities for cooperation in the procrastination and wrangling, which ultimately led to the erosion of the war. .
It can be said that without the summoning template provided by Lu Yu, the situation on the front line will only become more difficult. Even shrinking within the city-state and relying on natural disasters to destroy the living forces is a fool's errand.
"I gave up these concessions. I feel uneasy about robbing honest people. I can't be too Divek as a person." Noel spoke with confidence, and handsomely smoothed his dyed blonde hair, "It's just me. I’m not sure whether Divek deserves Antonio’s help... no, it’s the Theocracy that helps him so much.”
"And I have doubts about how long the glorious era can last. Although the external cause of infiltration briefly allowed Mela to usher in internal peace, people are always forgetful. After one, two, or maybe three generations, Will those who have never experienced pain still fear this nightmare thing that has gone away?"
"Perhaps, by then, the contamination will just be old dust that appears repeatedly in the story and has long lost its freshness. Even children can joke about it?"
Xiao Jingjing next to Noel had a stern look on her face, and she rarely showed admiration for her emperor.
How great would it be if he could always be so serious, serious and serious?
Lu Yu and Noel looked at each other and smiled silently. In that smile was the confusion about the future and the helplessness of reality.
Solon Palace is very familiar to Lu Lu. When she was still called the Crimson Witch, she had accompanied Tanya here countless times, or went to the royal library to read those wild mages who could not touch them in their lifetime. Collection of books, or enter the mage tower to watch the arrogant and exclusive royal and school mages demonstrate their own magic that they think is extremely powerful, but are full of mistakes.
Watching those idiots screw up their magic and become disgraced is the most effective way for the Crimson Witch to relieve her stress.
Walking through the marble palaces with dark gray exterior walls, Lu Yu felt like an ant thrown into the Minotaur's labyrinth by a giant. If Lu Yu hadn't been in his ear and carefully introduced the surrounding buildings to him, he would not have been able to walk. I even feel like a headless fly.
"The reliefs on the buildings here seem to be birds?"
Lu Yu marveled at the birds that were outlined with cold and hard lines on the majestic giant marble pillars.
"These were carved after Solon founded the country. The original animals on these buildings were 'owls'. After the fall of Melias, Solon took over most of the treasures of the giant owl. Many of the palaces here can be traced back to During the reign of Melias, it was simple and beautiful, but Solon was reluctant to destroy it, but wanted to be different from the giant owl, a decaying beast, so he decorated the later buildings with birds, dividing the scattered giants. The owl drowned in the overwhelming number of birds to 'suppress' its momentum."
"But it seems that the giant owl is ultimately stronger than these fragile birds. It has not been suppressed and has long since escaped."
Lulu mocked and reached out to touch the giant owl that had lost half of its wings due to lack of maintenance on the wall. Looking at its hunting posture as if it was about to pounce, she shook her head.
Lu Yu, who appeared with Noel, quickly became the focus of everyone in the courtyard. The glutton's name was constantly mentioned, and the leaders of all ethnic groups showed strange expressions.
Noel patted Lu Yu on the shoulder: "You are in quite a lot of trouble today. Although the various tribes are grateful for your contribution during the war, they are also a little worried about your 'fate' today, so they are hesitant."
Before he was about to take his seat, Noel asked again: "There are seven people on the other side, can you handle it?"
"Did you see blood with your own eyes when you were doing the cleaning during the dipping period?"
"I've seen them, but not many. I'm not afraid of dead people. They can't hurt me at all."
"Then you should eat less after the celebration begins."
Noel and the Quiet Ones were startled and looked at Lu Yuluo sitting not far away. They wanted to ask, but they felt it was inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Gluttonous Eater is probably going to..." a Quiet One said in a low voice.
Noel knocked on the table, lost in thought, and full of worry: "It's over, I didn't eat enough before I came... Little Shengjing, quickly find some desserts to cushion me."
The Silent Ones were completely silent. They were always confused by their inability to think at the same frequency as their Majesty.
He poured tea and water for a while, stopped the passing dining car, and soon filled the table.
"You are really infected by Sigrid." Lu Yu complained helplessly, and for a moment his behavior was more like a glutton than his name.
For a moment, while tearing the steak, he said: "You will need my help later. Let me eat first, and I will vent my anger for you later."
Lu Lu looked around with some chilling feeling. She found that all the visiting Mela clan leaders were looking at her table intentionally or unintentionally, but no one got up and walked towards it.
"Your summoning template has saved countless people, but they chose to remain silent because of seven masters with false names!"
Lu Lu did not ask these people to be grateful to Lu Yu. At least on this occasion, a public thank you was enough.
Lu Yu stuffed the sliced meat into Lu Lu's mouth to reward this little cutie who had complained for him.
"As leaders of a clan, they always think about things very complicatedly. The school is deeply rooted in Mela. Even a summoning school that only has a name and a prototype is enough to make them think forward and backward."
"From their perspective, being close to us, they need to consider whether their people will be made trouble by the summoning school if the final winners are those seven masters, and there will be one less school to choose from."
"They also need to consider whether other schools that are colluding with the Summoning School will use this as an excuse to disgust them intentionally or unintentionally."
"The dip has temporarily eliminated the conflicts between the various races and brought them closer to each other, but the school still stands in everyone's heart."
Vanessa used a little magic to slice the large steaks on the table into the size Lu Yu liked.
"Six hundred years ago, if you and I had met, maybe nothing would have happened to Sayer."
Lu Yu's hair stood on end: "Teacher, don't say such nonsense!"
It is certain that the consciousness of the world holds the origin and end of all living things in this world. She is the final destination of consciousness. If anything happens, Sayer may be resurrected because of Vanessa...
"I'm just stating the facts. You can always rationally look at these facts that are aggrieved to ordinary people, and know what the main contradiction is. It's really similar to me back then."
"You can hate them sitting on the sidelines, or you can hate them being favored by you but not daring to speak loudly, but you must remember who the real enemy is that makes them have to take this stance." Vanessa He hugged Lu Lu and rubbed her face again, "Besides, there will always be sensible and passionate people among them, for example..."
Lu Lu looked at the siren "swimming" in front of his table with its tail in surprise, feeling very familiar.
The turquoise-haired female siren stretched out her hand, showing five fingers, closing and releasing them. Her grinning mouth revealed a set of white teeth, and her contagious smile made people smile.
"We have met, Lord Glutton."
"I didn't expect to see you here, Ms. Vera." Lu Yu responded with a smile.
Vera, a member of the Dark Green Siren clan, was one of the high-level magicians who once visited the Dawn Territory. She had an unusual love for books. She was so immersed in them that she didn't even realize that her companions had left.
"You are from the dark green sea monster clan..."
"The high priest, to be precise, is the next generation of high priest." Vera stretched out her hand to Lu Yu, "Your Excellency Gluttony, the Dark Green Siren clan is very grateful to you for your kindness during the disaster. We believe in you. We will achieve the final victory in today’s competition.”
"It doesn't matter even if you lose. No one can erase your great contribution during the disaster. Your template has saved countless warriors, allowing them to always have a glimmer of hope in adversity." Vera seemed to be deliberately saying, He said loudly, "The Dark Green Sea Clan is just south of the Dawn Territory. The famous De Morris Route is co-managed by us and the other two sea tribes. If the Dawn Territory is willing to go to sea, we will give you the greatest assistance. Will you He is the most distinguished guest of our dark green clan."
Lulu's eyes sparkled, she looked at Vanessa, and suddenly understood everything she said just now.
Seeing Vera and Lu Yu holding hands together, her inner resentment disappeared, and she was full of expectations for Lu Yu to smash the master next.
"Dark Green Sea Tribe's words seem to be saying that we are trying to erase the merits of Your Excellency Gluttonous Eater?" The sneers of the seven masters headed by Du Juan came from the corner of the corridor. When they appeared, they stared directly at each other. Lu Yu, and then Vera who was shaking hands with him.
"Master Du Juan, do you know that there is a slang among the Dark Green Siren that goes like this..."
"The little thief who steals fish will always be eager to defend himself, shouting at the top of his lungs to attract everyone's attention, saying 'I didn't do it'."
Vera asked back: "Have I ever had a name? If not, why would Master Du Juan take over everything and become this little fish thief?"
