Lu Yu's offensive was so rapid that Sera's preparations that he had made during this period were completely useless and he was forced to switch to the defensive stage.
It was actually the best choice to leave immediately to avoid his sharpness, but for some reason, Sierra didn't do that. She wanted to put on an angry face, but after realizing that the expression on her face was not easy to control, she simply decided Be silent.
The sudden churning sound on the lake interrupted what Lu Yu was about to say. He glanced at the bass jumping out of the water and silently made a mark.
"If Lulu wanted to rub your ears all day, would you refuse?"
"Of course... no." Sierra refused subconsciously, but suddenly stepped on the brakes and changed her tune.
"Oh~~~"
"Then I understand."
"Ah?" Sera was confused. She didn't quite understand Lu Yu's reaction.
Understand, understand what?
Lu Yu suddenly turned over and jumped into the water. Everything was so sudden, Sera's mind didn't turn around.
Seeing the lake gradually calming down, Sera knew that Lu Yu's life was definitely not in danger, but she still didn't understand what the fuss was about.
"What do you mean by jumping into the lake... I'm going too far in refusing?"
"After all, I promised him before... It seems to be a bit too much. I have already admitted it. Touching my ears seems... not a bad idea?"
Just as she was thinking wildly and examining herself, a wet Lu Yu flopped onto the shore, holding a bass half a man's height in his arms. The bass's tail swung powerfully and struggled violently, but Lu Yu struck fiercely with his knife. Finally, it became completely honest.
"If you like to dance, I'll let you dance!" Lu Yu was happy as he picked up the big fish, "Would you like to have fish soup for supper tonight?"
The previous topic just... ended? Didn't he always pursue victory before? Why did he suddenly stop?
Although Sera was full of doubts, in any case, this gave her a chance to breathe. Lu Yu's frankness and straightforwardness had left her at a loss too many times recently.
"Don't eat."
Lu Yu didn't force it. After cleaning the catch, he simply adjusted the base flavor, lightly fried the seabass, and cooked the milky white soup base. He washed and cut all the vegetables and divided them into plates. Only then did he realize that a half-dragon slime was nearby. This one seemed to be the food truck slime with a particularly good working ability.
He casually touched her horns and found that the texture was as soft as jelly, which made Lu Yu a little disappointed.
"Want to help?"
The half-dragon slime nodded.
Lu Yu simply asked her to help deliver the dining cart and stove to his room, while he stayed to make some sugar water for Lulu - he heard that Lulu was going to process other potions tonight.
Lu Yu knocked lightly on the door of Lulu's room, but didn't hear any response. After hesitating for a while, Lu Yu turned the handle. The door was unlocked and opened with a creak.
Lulu was not mixing the potion. She had already fallen asleep, holding a silver-white rabbit-eared slime in her arms.
The pillow was no longer favored by Lulu, and slime became the best substitute. Lulu, who was sleeping, still had a smile on her face, and she didn't know what good things she had dreamed of.
The rabbit-eared slime showed Lu Yu that he was still awake by shaking his ears, and Lu Yu made a silent gesture. He thought she couldn't understand it, but when he saw the ears that suddenly didn't move, Lu Yu immediately exclaimed. enhance their learning ability.
After quietly admiring Lulu's sleeping face and gently poking her soft cheek with his hand, Lu Yu exited the room with a smile and quietly closed the door.
Looking at the sugar water in his hand, Lu Yu pondered for a few seconds: "Give it to Sierra..."
Considering that the fire in the fish pot was still heating, the fish head might lose its best taste, so he decided to finish it before sending it over.
Before returning to the room, Lu Yu heard the buzzing from the communication statue.
Now that it's almost midnight, who would send me a message?
"Noel?" Lu Yu wondered, "Did something happen again?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late. As for the Silent One who will arrive in the Dawn Territory tomorrow morning, I would like to ask if she can be allowed to wander around the Dawn Territory. It's up to you to decide what she can see. Of course, it's best to ask See some scenes that will amaze her and make her unique. Of course, if that doesn't work, I hope you can try your best to receive her with the best standards of the Dawn Leader... If that doesn't work, just pretend I didn't mention it. "
"Jingjing...is anyone other than Xiao Jingjing, your woman?" Lu Yu suddenly realized, isn't it just to let him help be a wingman, and take advantage of the situation to set off his wisdom? It's simple.
"You really misunderstood this time. Although she is very attractive, I have no interest in her now. She is just a troublesome guy."
Lu Yu was keenly aware of something. He picked up the fish meat that was about to be put into his mouth and put it back into the bowl. He pondered for a few seconds and asked, "Noel, did something happen to you?"
"No."
"This is the first time since we started communicating that you only send such a sentence. You are not the kind of person who wastes information and spread it effectively. Or... do you think that talking too much between friends hurts feelings?" Lu Yu said, "Need. I'll help you speak out more."
After drinking a bowl of fish soup and boiling some radishes, Lu Yu finished everything and Noel's message came over.
"There is indeed something troubling, but apart from asking you to help greet the troublesome Silent One, there is nothing I need your help for the time being."
"Need to talk? I can be a trash can."
Another moment passed, and Lu Yu, who was sucking half of the fish head, touched the statue lightly and listened to the new reply.
"You should have heard about Codezonn being invaded by aliens. Most of the huge territory was lost in an instant. Countless city-states were like isolated islands. The Shadow Guards followed Ravenis's orders and attacked everywhere. The armies from various places worked hard to suppress it, but Still unable to regain the lost ground, instead it set off a chaotic situation in which the Magic Awakeners became independent and new factions separated themselves. Half of Codezon was in raging war."
"This has nothing to do with you for now, right? The murlocs on the Frost and Snow Islands were repelled by your army, and you didn't even use your elite." Lu Yu said, "The Quiet One trusts you extremely. After several major incidents, You should be the best helmsman in their eyes. How can Ravenis compare to you?"
"But what if the Quiet Ones start to question my decisions?"
Noel's words made Lu Yu confused: "You don't make mistakes frequently, why do they question you?"
"It will be soon, for I want to give up part of Sligo."
Lu Yu choked on the fish soup and coughed violently. With stars in his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone else in the room.
Sera, who was only wearing a pair of pajamas, raised her ears in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
Abandoning territory, what the hell is Noel doing?
"Are you crazy?" Lu Yu only replied briefly, his head being burned.
Sera used her magic power to close the door. She actually brought her own bowls and chopsticks, sat down opposite Lu Yu, and naturally picked up a spoon to ladle soup and add meat.
"Didn't you say you won't eat?"
"It's cooking so fragrantly, and the door is open." Sierra glared at Lu Yu, "I was already asleep."
Lu Yu raised the corners of his mouth, poured a few fish balls into the pot, and added some fresh fungi that the medical team had recommended.
This amount was obviously not something Lu Yu could handle alone, and Sera tacitly understood it and ate it silently.
The message sounded, and the two people who were extremely concerned about Noel's speech immediately aimed at the statue.
"Sligo is too big now."
In the early days of the magic wave, Noel had thought about the future of this huge empire. Every magic wave would usher in a new order, and the overall structure of the continent would undergo earth-shaking changes. The ethnic groups and groups that could not adapt had all disappeared. In the long history.
Although life always repeats the mistakes of the past, it is still necessary to learn from history. Noel looked at the history books and made the most detailed summary of the rise and decline of Melias, the largest empire in human history, and finally got came up with a point of view that is not the same as that of most Mela scholars.
Melias did not die from the impregnated spirit, nor from the tyranny of the late period, but from his size.
Melias, the giant owl, is so huge that three-quarters of the territory of the four major kingdoms of Mera is inherited from it. Faced with an unprecedentedly large territory, the emperor in the city of the giant owl can only rely on one person. A ruler manages the fringe city-states for him, while he focuses on seizing the top magician combat power to maintain Melias's terrifying deterrent, so that the entire body of this giant owl can be coordinated.
Decentralization of power, in exchange for the expansion of the empire's extreme ruling area, is naturally no problem in peacetime, but once it comes to troubled times, trouble will ensue.
The first is the communication of messages. In that era when there was no communication circle, communication could only rely on one-to-one matching between magic messengers and magic nodes. Once all the buildings with nodes in the area were destroyed, the efficiency and accuracy of the messenger's transmission would be greatly reduced. It will drop significantly. The emperor who lives in the imperial city can only see the territories that are darkened one by one and the situation is unknown.
If you want to re-establish contact, you must send your direct descendants to go to the scene to confirm the situation in person - at this time, the city-state lord is in a superposition of trustworthiness and untrustworthiness.
In this way, Melias in the late period was infiltrated by the spirit and destroyed the fragile management system. The territory outside the core ruling area was gradually out of control. This huge giant owl also became a dying man without feathers and wings. Giant thing.
Noel has seen clearly that the conservative forces on Sligo's domestic border that are ready to move are no longer trustworthy, and they may counterattack him at a critical moment at any time.
These old forces that cannot be eliminated have become the biggest constraint on his governance. The most reasonable way to preserve Sligo's strength and allow Sligo to smoothly survive the increasingly turbulent magic tide is to combine the territory with Try to match your own right radiation area.
He wants the big ship of Sligo to obey orders and prohibitions, and everyone must be united.
As for the territory...if you survive the turmoil, you will have it at your fingertips.
"This guy...is so courageous." Sierra's eyes widened.
Zhang said, update, understand?
