Chapter 124: Arriving at the Danger with Luciene
Xu Yue was shocked when he heard the explosion in the distance, and after putting the sun gold in his hand into the storage ring, he walked quickly towards the place where the explosion sounded. After rounding a rocky area, a fairly flat area appeared in front of me. I saw three battle magic golems fighting a creature that looked like a tiger in the clearing.
The tiger-like creature had black tabby fur, a tiger-like head with two long horns, and limbs that were supposed to be claws had strange hooves. In other words, according to the earth, shouldn't all those with long hooves be herbivores?
For this strange-looking 'tiger', Xu Yue couldn't recognize what kind of creature it was, although he had a lot of knowledge now, but it was impossible to know all the species in the abyss. This is not to blame him, you must know that the creatures of the abyss have a very peculiar characteristic, that is, many creatures here can 'hybridize'. Even if two completely different monsters mate together, they may give birth to offspring. However, this kind of offspring often grows very strange, and it is not certain that there will be any strange monsters after several generations of 'hybridization'.
At this time, the horned tiger was constantly spraying black light from its mouth, and at the same time making biting movements with its sharp teeth. It's just that it doesn't move its claws like a tiger, but it's not slow at all.
"A sixth-level monster?" Xu Yue said with a frown as he looked at the monster that could still fight back under the siege of the three sixth-level battle puppets.
Because of the harsh living environment, the abyssal creatures are much stronger than the professions of the same level as Talumia 6 years older than those of the same level. For example, the strength of this monster that is almost level six can be said to be the top in the same level.
After a little look. Xu Yue raised the staff in his hand. Although the three magic golems couldn't solve the monster for a while, they already had the absolute upper hand. If you add him to it, it's still no problem to take down this monster.
The red and blue bands of light at the tip of the staff rotated together at this time, after the degree of rotation reached the extreme. I saw that the red and blue rays of light fused together, and then as if they exploded, a bright pillar of light shot towards the persecuted screaming monster.
The magic on Xu Yue's staff was also the top among the six levels, but before the monster could react, the pillar of light had pierced its abdomen. A wound the size of a sea bowl pierced the monster's body, causing it to let out a painful roar.
This caused the monster to suffer almost fatal damage, and after it roared, black blood and internal organs flowed out of the piercing wound. However, the vitality of the abyssal monster has already evolved in a cruel environment, which is very amazing. I saw the monster stumble for a moment. Turning his head, he stared at Xu Yue, who was attacking, with crazy and hateful eyes, and then rushed towards him with four hooves.
For the monster who obviously wanted to fight hard before death, Xu Yue's expression was very calm. He had already cut off half of the monster's life. He wasn't the only one present.
The wisdom of the sixth-level combat type magic puppets was very high, and they made the most correct move as soon as they saw Xu Yue seriously injured the monster. Two puppets that looked like melee thieves instantly came to both sides of the monster and thrust the daggers in their hands into the monster's ribs without hesitation. The magic golem, which appeared to be an archer-type golem, pulled out its bow behind the monster. A moment later, a red ray shot out of the longbow in his hand. Pierce the monster from behind.
In the blink of an eye, the monster that still wanted to fight was dead on the ground. Xu Yue stepped forward a few steps, kicked the corpse of the monster with his foot, and said to the three magic puppets who walked over: "Send the corpses of these monsters to Alice and let her dispose of the materials on the monsters." In addition, tell your leader to lead the team to clean up all the nearby monsters, especially such high-level monsters. If you encounter a hard bone that can't be gnawed, come back, and wait until the next time I come. β
After the three magic golems bowed down and received their orders. Xu Yue directly opened the boundary crossing door and left here. The main purpose of his coming out this time was to fulfill Oward's last wish, and Sun King was just a surprise. For these solar gold. He's been delayed for a long time. Now that the affairs on the abyss side have been preliminarily completed, everything that should be arranged has been arranged, so the next plan is to handle Ovod's affairs first. At the same time, he was also very interested in the ruins of Ovade's current Boundary Gate, and planned to go there to explore it after finishing Oward's affairs, and see if he could find other accessories for the Gate.
The distance to Red Leaf City is not too far, and after a day's ride in the beast cart, Xu Yue can already see the walls of a small city from a distance.
The Kingdom of Coles itself is only a medium-sized human kingdom, and its land area cannot be compared to the seven kingdoms of mankind. And Red Leaf City, as an inconspicuous small city in this medium-sized kingdom, is certainly not very big in scale. Xu Yue visually measured the area covered by the city's city walls, which was basically the same as that of Walker County, which had not been expanded.
As I approached, the walls of Momiji Castle were already in sight. The city wall here does not have the height of a big city like Black Rock City, it looks like it is only about ** meters high, and the soldiers standing at the gate of the city look very lazy and lax, and they do not have the spirit of the regular soldiers of Black Rock City at all.
Xu Yue just shook his head in this regard, and sighed in his heart that he was afraid of comparison. I didn't think much of it when I was in Black Rock City, but at this time, this comparison can see the gap between the Seven Kingdoms and these small countries.
After paying the entrance tax for a copper coin, Xu Yue walked in through the city gate. He had to find a place to rest before he could get down to business......
When Xu Yue was looking for a hotel, in a medium-sized house in the wealthy area of Red Leaf City, a housekeeper-like person was standing in the living room of the residence with a group of people at this time, and opposite them was a woman who looked to be in her twenties, and behind the woman stood a guy who looked like a cook, and a maid who looked like a servant and an old servant.
The butler-looking man was looking at the young woman in front of him with a smug face and said, "How is Miss Luciene?" I don't know if you have thought about the conditions of our lord. As long as you agree to marry our master, then the debts owed by your family will be written off immediately. And you'll get enough money to continue learning magic. β
The woman named Lucini looked coldly at the housekeeper who had broken into the house with a large group of subordinates, and said in a somewhat angry tone: "You sue SΓΉ Chebman for that shameless villain. Let him die of this heart as soon as possible. I wouldn't marry an ungrateful bastard like him even if I died. β
After hearing her words, the butler's face turned cold, and he said with a sneer: "Miss Lucinie, you seem to have forgotten that you still owe our master 20,000 gold coins, but the contract is still in our hands." If you don't pay it back after three days, you won't be able to pay it back even if you accompany the house in front of you, and then you will have to be sold as a slave to pay off our debts. When the time comes, it will not be able to escape from the palm of our master's hand. β
Lucini looked at the hateful guy in front of her fiercely, and said coldly: "That brute Bradley, as my father's student, actually used a fake magic potion to trick me into signing a magic contract. I also want to plot my father's fortune and get me to marry him. You go back and sue him, and I won't let him succeed even if I die. When my father returns, he will never bypass him, an ungrateful beast. β
When the butler heard her words, a look of fear appeared on his face. But soon he remembered something. Sneered and said: "Don't dream, Oward's old immortal has been missing for almost three or four years, if he is alive, it is impossible for him to have no news at all, obviously he doesn't know where he died." Our master is now an official first-class mage, and he can earn the title of lord after a while. As long as you marry our master, then you will have both the resources for cultivation and the backer, why can't you think about it so much. No matter how hard you struggle this time, it's impossible to pay back the money. Sooner or later, it will still fall into the hands of our master, so why bother!"
"Phew!" Lucine said angrily, "The beast's current qiΔ was not stolen from our house. It was deceived from me. I just hate that I didn't see through the true face of this beast in the first place, and let him deceive me repeatedly. From this day forward, you don't want anything more from me. Even if I burned down this house, I would never leave him a single piece of wood or tile. Lucini said fiercely.
The housekeeper saw Lucie's attitude and knew that he couldn't convince the other party, so he glanced at the stubborn Lucini with vicious eyes and said, "Hmph, don't be ashamed." I can't believe you'll be so stubborn in three days. When the time comes, if you don't pay the money, you will be compensated as a slave to our master, and then you will only be a plaything in the hands of the master. Let's go, see how this cries and begs us!"
After saying that, the butler left the place with the able-bodied subordinates behind him. When all the people on the other side left, Lucinie, who had always been very strong and stubborn, showed a look of sadness and despair on her face, and her body almost collapsed on the chair.
"Miss, are you alright?" said a maid who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The chubby cook behind him also said, "Miss, don't worry, old Pete won't let those scraps touch a finger of you even if he dies." β
The old servant who had been bending over also stepped forward and said with concern: "Miss Lucinie, I think it's better to leave Red Leaf City first while the three days haven't arrived." β
After Lucini heard his words, she shook her head sadly and said, "Grandpa Burton, it's too late. Bradley's brute must have sent someone to keep an eye on us, and I'm afraid we'll be stopped by them as soon as we get out. Moreover, he had broken through to the rank of a first-level magician by stealing the 'Spiritual Concentration Elixir' left by his father, and he already had a certain status in Red Leaf City. If he catches us, the officials of Momiji City will intervene, and with his current status, it is almost certain that the upper echelons of Momiji City will not help us. β
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old little maid also said hatefully: "That shameless fellow, as a student of the master, not only stole the magic potion left by the master, but also used the excuse of looking for the master to defraud so much money from you, Miss, and now even you don't let go, it's really hateful." β
Lucini shook her head helplessly and said, "It's all my fault." I was still naΓ―ve before. With his father's protection, he never cared about family affairs, otherwise he wouldn't have fallen for Bradley. Not only was he cheated out of a lot of money. He even used a fake bottle of 'magic potion' to trick him into signing a contract of tens of thousands of gold coins. It's too late to say anything. Three days later, the last day of the contract expired, and I couldn't come up with that much money. But I'm not going to let this guy get his way, and I won't let that beast get complacent. Shirley, you, Uncle Pete, and Old Henry should get out of here today, and I have some gold coins here, enough for your travel expenses. That brute's target is me, if it's just the three of you. He won't make a fuss before the contract expires. β
The little maid named Shirley shook her head fiercely and said, "I'm not leaving, I want to be with you, Miss." Shirley has been adopted by the master since she was a child, and if she is not taken in by the master and you. I'm afraid I'd have been sold as a slave or starved to death somewhere. How can I leave you alone at this time. β
Pete, the cook, also expressed his reluctance to leave, and old Henry shook his head and said, "Miss, don't say anything about leaving." The people who wanted to leave were forced by the brute to leave early, and the three of us still haven't left, just made up our minds not to leave. Lord Oward has been a great favor to all three of us. And the three of us have no relatives either. There's nowhere to go out of here. β
Lucini said sadly, "But I can't let the three of you die with me, and that brute will never let us go after three days." Now I have no other way but to cut myself off. β
Old Henry sighed and said, "Wait a little longer, there are still three days, and if there is no turnaround by then, we will fight with them." What the beast did is now very clear to everyone, I don't believe that if it makes a big fuss, the upper echelons of Red Leaf City will let him continue to be proud of his teacher's family, after all, those nobles also want to be faced. β
After listening to old Henry's words. Lucini could only nod helplessly, although she knew in her heart that what old Henry said was not promising. But there is no way to do it. Thinking that even those high-ranking officials of Red Leaf City were polite to her when her father was there, but now she was bullied like this by one of the teacher's students, she couldn't help but feel sad.
The little maid Shirley said angrily: "If it weren't for the beast who stole the 'magic potion' that the master left for the young lady, then it would be the young lady who became a first-level magician and not the beast." That guy is just so hateful. β
Lucini shook her head with a sad face and said, "If it's just that he stole the potion and it's nothing, the main reason why I got this step today is that I was too eager to break through to the first-level magician, and I was deceived by him with a fake potion to get to where I am now." β
Just when the four people in the house were at a loss, suddenly a voice sounded outside the gate of the courtyard outside.
"Is this Miss Lucinie's residence?"
The sound of questioning outside woke several people in the room from their grief and sorrow. Since Bradley began to suppress this family, basically no one will come to visit, but I didn't expect someone to come to the door today.
"Is it that those beasts have come back again, it's not been three days now, they don't dare to mess around, I'll go and drive them away. Shirley said indignantly and was about to leave.
Lucini quickly stopped her and said, "Wait a minute, Shirley." It shouldn't be those under Bradley, they wouldn't be so polite. It should be someone else, maybe it's a former acquaintance of your father, you go and invite the other party in. β
Listening to Luciene's words, Shirley's eyes lit up and she said happily: "If that's the case, maybe the other party, as a former friend of the master, will help us after knowing the situation here." β
Lucini shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Don't think too much, the amount on the contract is too big." Now my father has no news, and it is very unlikely that he wants someone to help us by relying on some of his previous connections. β
"If you don't try how to know, I'll go out and bring people in. The little maid, Shirley, scurried towards the courtyard gate.
After a while, Shirley led in with a man who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old and was dressed in a mage's robe. Lucie's eyes lit up when she saw the mage robe on the man's body, but the light in her eyes dimmed when she saw the other man's age.
The young magician who came in was none other than Xu Yue, and after he found a hotel and settled down, he immediately found the address Oward had said based on the information Oward had left him. However, what made him a little confused was that when he asked for directions, those people showed a strange look on their faces after hearing the address he asked, but although those people did not look right, they still told him the location.
Looking at the somewhat messy floor in the room and the four gloomy masters and servants, Xu Yue's heart moved slightly, and he was now sure that the people in this room had encountered some difficulties. Linked to the strange looks on the faces of those passers-by, it was not a small matter to think that the matter of coming to Ovade's house was not small, otherwise he would not have gotten Cheng DΓΉ, which was known to any passerby.
"May I ask if this is Miss Lucinie's residence, I don't know which one is Miss Lucinie!" Xu Yue suppressed the thoughts in his heart and said with a mage salute.
Lucini also put away the sadness on her face at this time, sat up straight and said, "Hello, I am Lucinie." What are you looking for me?"
Before she spoke, Xu Yue had already guessed in her heart. This daughter in Oward's mouth is indeed a beauty as Oward said. The other party's appearance is a bit like a hybrid of Chinese and Western, not only has the brightness of Western women, but also the softness of Eastern women, especially some sadness and tears left on the other party's face make her more weak.
Looking at this beautiful woman who can be regarded as her junior sister, Xu Yue nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Lucinie, I am calling you something according to Teacher Oward's instructions." β
Lucini and the other three were taken aback by his words, and Lucini stood up from her chair and said with some excitement: "Did your father ask you to come? Do you know where my father is?"
Looking at Lucini with an excited face in front of her, Xu Yue shook her head with a wry smile, took out a small box from the storage ring and put it on the table in front of Luciene, and then he gently opened the box, revealing the red crystal left behind by the burning of Oward's body and said with some sadness: "I want to tell you a sad news, Teacher Oward has passed away." This is the Nirvana Crystal he left behind. β
After hearing his words, Luciene, who was originally excited, instantly stayed in place. Dealing with Bradley's bullying for a long time, exhausting her efforts to maintain this crumbling home has made her physically and mentally exhausted, and when she suddenly heard such bad news, her body suddenly couldn't support it anymore, and she fell backwards as soon as it was dark in front of her.
"Miss!" the little maid next to her, Shirley, screamed, and ran over to hold Luciene. However, there was a person who was faster than her, and I saw Xu Yue seeing Lucini about to fall, and a lunge rushed up and held her in his arms. After feeling how bad the woman's physical condition was with his mental strength, he immediately took out a bottle of 'Nature's Gift', a potion that had a strong restorative effect on physical wear and tear, from the storage ring and poured it into Lucinie. The quick movement made the three people next to him too late to stop it.
After watching the three loyal servants want to snatch Lucini from their hands, Xu Yue waved his hand slightly, and pushed the hands of the three to the side with a repulsive stance. But his strength was just right, and he didn't cause the slightest damage to the three of them.
"Don't worry! I just gave her a potion to replenish her body's wear and tear. It can be seen that her body has suffered a lot of wear and tear during this time, and she has been overdrawing her vitality at a certain time. My potion is just the right thing to do with that. Xu Yue patiently explained.
After hearing his words, the other three stopped their movements, but they didn't trust the stranger who suddenly appeared.
At this time, the little maid Shirley suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "By the way, you just said Teacher Oward! Are you a student of Master Oward?"
Xu Yue smiled and nodded, "That's right, I am a disciple accepted by Teacher Oward before he died, and I have the magic mark inherited by Teacher Oward, and I have registered with the Magic Guild." β
Shirley immediately became excited after hearing this, and she hurriedly said, "That's great, Miss is finally saved." You must save the young lady. (To be continued......)
