Chapter 124: Reaching the predicament with Lucini
Xu Yue was shocked when he heard the explosion in the distance. He put the sun gold in his hand into the storage ring and quickly walked towards the place where the explosion sounded. After walking around a rocky area, a relatively flat place appeared in front of him. He saw three combat magic puppets on the open space fighting against a creature that looked like a tiger.
This tiger-like creature has black tiger-spotted fur, and the head similar to that of a tiger has two long horns on its head. The limbs that were supposed to be claws have strange hooves. According to the earth, shouldn't the long hooves be herbivores?
Xu Yue couldn't recognize what kind of creature this strange-looking "tiger" is. Although he has already mastered a lot of knowledge, it is impossible to know all the species in the abyss. This is not his fault. You should know that abyss creatures have a very unique characteristic, that is, many creatures here can "hybridize". Even if two completely different monsters are mated, they may give birth to offspring. However, these offspring often grow very strange, and it is not necessarily true that strange monsters will appear after several generations of "hybridize".
This long-horned tiger was constantly spraying black light from its mouth, and at the same time it used its sharp teeth to make a bite. It was just that it could not move its claws like a tiger, but its movement was not slow at all.
"A level six monster?" Xu Yue frowned and said, looking at the monster that could still fight back under the siege of three level six combat puppets.
Due to the harsh living environment, the abyss creatures are much stronger than those of the same level of professions in the Tarenmia Continent. For example, the strength of this monster that is about sixth level can be said to be top in the same level.
After a little look, Xu Yue raised the staff in his hand. Although the three magic puppets were unable to solve the monster for a while, they had already gained an absolute advantage. If he took action, it would be fine to take the monster.
The red and blue light bands at the top of the staff rotated together at this time. After the rotation speed reached the extreme, two red and blue lights merged together, and then formed a bright light column as if they exploded, shooting towards the forced monster.
The magic on Xu Yue's staff was also the top in Level 6. Before the monster could react, the light column had already pierced its abdomen. The wound the size of a sea bowl penetrated the monster's body, causing it to roar in pain.
This caused the monster to suffer almost fatal damage. After it roared, black blood and internal organs flowed out of the penetrating wound. However, the vitality of the abyss monster had already evolved in a very amazing environment. The monster staggered for a moment and turned around and stared at Xu Yue who was attacking with a crazy and hatred look, then stepped on his four hooves and rushed towards him.
Xu Yue's expression was very calm for the monster who obviously wanted to fight to the death before his death. He had already removed half of the life of the monster just now. He was not the only one present.
The level 6 combat-type magic puppets have very high intelligence. After seeing Xu Yue seriously injured the monster, they immediately made the most correct move. Two puppets that looked like melee thief came to both sides of the monster instantly and inserted them into the monster's ribs without hesitation. The magic puppet, which looked like an archer type, pulled the bow in his hand behind the monster. A moment later, a red light shot out from the longbow in his hand. The monster penetrated through the monster from behind.
In the blink of an eye, the monster that still wanted to fight desperately died on the ground. Xu Yue walked forward a few steps, kicked the monster's corpse with her feet, and said to the three magic puppets who came over: "Send the corpses of these monsters to Alice and let her deal with the materials on the monsters. Also, tell your leader, let him lead the team to clean up all the nearby monsters, especially this kind of high-level monster. If you encounter a hard bone that cannot be gnawed, come back, and wait until I come next time."
After the three magic puppets bowed to take the order, Xu Yue opened the Piercing Gate and left here. The main purpose of his trip this time was to fulfill Oward's last wish. Sun Gold was just an unexpected surprise. He had been wasted a lot of time for these Sun Gold. Now the matter on the abyss has been initially completed and the arrangements have been arranged, so the next plan is to do Oward's affairs first. At the same time, he was very interested in Oward's discovery of the Piercing Gate's remains, and he planned to go there after completing Oward's affairs to check it out to see if he could find other accessories for the Piercing Gate.
The distance to Hongye City is not too far. After taking a beast cart for a day, Xu Yue could already see the walls of a small city from afar.
The Kingdom of Coles itself is just a medium-sized human kingdom, and its land area cannot be compared with the seven major kingdoms of mankind. As an inconspicuous small town in this medium-sized kingdom, Red Leaf City is of course not much larger in scale. Xu Yue looked at the area covered by the city walls, which was basically the same as that of Walker County, which was not expanded.
When we walked closer, the walls of Hongye City were already close to us. The walls here did not have the height of a big city like Heiyan City, and it looked only about a height of about ** meters. The soldiers standing at the gate looked very lazy and slack, and they did not have the spirit of regular soldiers in Heiyan City.
Xu Yue just shook her head and sighed in her heart that she was afraid of comparisons in everything. She didn't feel anything when she was in Heiyan City. At this time, this comparison shows the gap between the seven kingdoms and these small countries.
After paying a copper coin to enter the city, Xu Yue walked in through the city gate. First, he had to find a place to rest before he could start doing the business.
......
While Xu Yue was looking for a hotel, in a medium-sized house in the wealthy area of Hongye City, a butler was standing in the living room of the residence with a group of people. Opposite them was a woman in her twenties. Behind the woman stood a guy who looked like a chef, a maid who looked like a servant and an old servant.
The man who looked like a housekeeper was looking at the young woman in front of him with a proud look on his face and said, "How about Miss Lucini? I don't know if you have considered our master's conditions clearly. As long as you agree to marry our master, the debts owed by your family will be immediately cancelled. You will also get enough financial support to continue learning magic."
The woman named Lucini looked coldly at the housekeeper who had entered the house with a large group of subordinates in front of her, and said in a tone of anger: "Tell Chebman that shameless villain. Let him die as soon as possible. Even if I die, I will not marry an ungrateful bastard like him."
The 16 or 17-year-old maid also said hatefully: "That shameless guy, as the master's student, not only stole the magic potion left by the master, but also used the excuse of finding the master to cheat you of so much money from Miss. Now you don't even let you go. It's really hateful."
Lucynny shook her head helplessly and said, "It's all my fault. I was too naive before. With my father's protection, I never cared about family affairs, otherwise I wouldn't have been fooled by Bradley. Not only did he cheat a lot of money away, but he also used a bottle of fake "magic potion" to sign a contract of tens of thousands of gold coins. Now it's too late to say anything. Three days later, it's the last day when the contract expires, and I can't afford to pay so much money. But I won't let this guy succeed. I'll never let that beast be proud if I'm dead. Shirley, you, Uncle Pitt and Old Henry will leave here quickly today. I still have some gold coins here, enough for your travel expenses. The beast's target is me, if it's just you three. He won't have any trouble before the contract expires."
The little maid named Shirley shook her head fiercely and said, "I won't leave, I want to be with you, Miss. Shirley has been adopted by the master since she was a child. Without the master and you, I'm afraid I'd been sold as a slave or starved to death. How could I leave you alone at this time?"
Chef Pete also expressed his unwillingness to leave, while Old Henry shook his head and said, "Miss, don't say anything about leaving anymore. Those who want to leave have already left under the pressure of that beast. The three of us have not left yet, but we have made up our minds to not leave. Master Oward has great kindness to us. Moreover, we have no relatives. There is no place to go if we leave here."
Lucini said sadly: "But I can't let you three die with me. The beast will never let us go in three days. Now I have no other way except to cut off myself."
Old Henry sighed and said, "Wait a little longer, there are three days left. If there is no turning point at that time, we will fight with them. Everyone knows what the beast did now, and I don't believe that if things get bigger, the upper class of Hongye City will make him feel like he is going to attack his teacher's family. The beast will continue to be proud of it, after all, those nobles also need shame."
After hearing Old Henry's words, Lucini could only nod helplessly. Although she knew in her heart that Old Henry had little hope, she could not find a solution. Thinking that even the senior executives of Red Leaf City were polite to her when her father was there, she couldn't help but feel sad.
The little maid Shirley said angrily: "If the beast had not stolen the 'magic potion' left to the lady by the master, then the lady would be the lady instead of the beast who became the first-level magician. That guy would be so hateful."
Lucini shook her head with a sad face and said, "If it were just him stealing the potion, it would be fine. Today I got this field. The main reason is that I was too eager to break through to the first-level magician. I was deceived by him with fake potion and that I would be like this until now."
Just when the four people in the house were at a loss, a voice suddenly sounded outside the gate of the yard outside.
"Is this the residence of Miss Lucini?"
The sound of questions outside woke up several people in the house from sadness and sorrow. Since Bradley began to suppress this family, basically no one has come to visit him, but he didn't expect someone to come to the house today.
"Are those beasts back again? It's not yet three days since then, they dare not do anything, I'll drive them away?" Shirley said indignantly and was about to leave.
Lucini quickly stopped her and said, "Wait for a moment. Sherry shouldn't be the people under Bradley, they wouldn't be so polite. It should be the other people. Maybe they are my father's former acquaintances. You go and invite the other party in."
After hearing Lucini's words, Shirley's eyes lit up and said happily: "If this is the case, maybe the other party, as the master's former friend, will help us after knowing the situation here."
Lucini smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "Don't think too much, the amount on the contract is too large. Now my father has no news. It is very unlikely that he wants others to help us with just some of the previous relationships."
"How can I know if I don't try it? I'll go out and lead the person in." The little maid Shirley jumped and ran out of the yard.
After a while, Shirley led a man who looked twenty-seven or eight years old and wearing a mage robe. After seeing the mage robe on the man, Lucini's eyes lit up, but when she saw the other person's age, the light in her eyes dimmed again.
The young magician who came in was Xu Yue. After he found a hotel to settle down, he immediately found the address Oward mentioned based on the information left to him by Oward. However, what made him a little confused was that when he was asking for directions, a strange look appeared on his face after the address he asked for. However, although those people looked wrong, they still told him the location.
Looking at the messy ground in the room and the four miserable masters and servants, Xu Yue's heart moved slightly. He was now sure that the people in the room had encountered some difficulties. Including the strange expressions on the faces of those passers-by, I think what happened to the Oward family is not small, otherwise it would not have been known to any passerby.
"Is this Miss Lucini's residence? I don't know which one is Miss Lucini!" Xu Yue suppressed the thought in his heart and gave a mage salute and said.
Lucini also put away the sadness on her face, sat upright and said, "Hello, I am Lucini. What's the matter with me?"
Before she spoke, Xu Yue had already guessed in her heart. The daughter in Oward's mouth was indeed a beauty as Oward said. The other party looked a bit like a mixed-race child who combines Chinese and Western styles. Not only did she have the beauty of Western women, but also the softness of Eastern women, especially the sadness and tears remaining on the other party's face made her feel more weak.
After looking at this beautiful woman who can be considered her junior sister, Xu Yue nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Lucini, I want to call you some things according to Teacher Oward's instructions."
His words surprised Lucini and the other three. Lucini stood up from the chair and said excitedly: "It was my father who asked you to come? Do you know where my father is?"
Looking at Lucini with an excited face in front of him, Xu Yue shook her head with a wry smile, and took out a small box from the storage ring and put it on the table in front of Lucini. Then he gently opened the box, revealing the red crystal left by Oward's body burning inside and said sadly: "I want to tell you a sad news, Teacher Oward has passed away. This is the Nirvana crystal he left behind."
After hearing his words, Lucini, who was originally excited, instantly stayed in place. She had been dealing with Bradley's bullying for a long time and exhausting her efforts to maintain this shaky family had already exhausted her physically and mentally. After hearing such bad news, her body could no longer hold on, and she fell backwards when she saw the darkness in front of her.
"Miss!" The little maid Shirley next to him screamed and almost stopped running over to support Lucini. However, there was one person faster than her. Xu Yue saw Lucini falling and rushed up and hugged her in her arms. After using his mental power to feel how bad the woman's physical condition was, he immediately took out a bottle of "Gift of Nature" from the storage ring, which had a strong recovery effect on physical depletion and poured Lucini down. The quick movement made the three people next to him not even stop it.
After watching the three loyal servants trying to snatch Lucini from their hands, Xu Yue waved his hand slightly, and pushed the three people's hands away from each other with a repulsive position. However, the force of his control was just right and did not cause any damage to the three people.
"Don't worry! I just drank the potion to replenish her body's loss. It can be seen that her body has been depleted a lot during this period and has been overdrawing her vitality to a certain extent. My potion can just supplement it." Xu Yue explained patiently.
After hearing his words, the other three stopped their actions, but they did not trust the stranger who suddenly appeared.
At this time, the little maid Shirley suddenly remembered something and screamed: "By the way! What you just said was Mr. Oward! Are you a student of Mr. Oward?"
Xu Yue smiled and nodded and said, "That's right! I am a disciple accepted by Teacher Oward before my death, and I have the magic mark passed down by Teacher Oward, and I have registered in the Magic Guild."
