Why are there monsters in my territory?

Chapter 156 The Tomb of the Godlike

Lucius' friendly attitude didn't make Li Yong let down his vigilance.

Even though his home plane has a poor reserve of plane-related knowledge, just by looking at the harsh environment around him, he knows that these humans will appear here, and they will never just come to study abroad.

In fact, like Li Yong, they couldn't completely ignore the influence of the abyss environment. In order to prevent the symptoms of acclimatization, they used a special secret medicine - this was mentioned when Lucius generously donated a small part of the secret medicine .

On the contrary, it was the xenophobic attitude of his three disciples that made Li Yong slightly less vigilant.

This proves that "helping/trapping a lost person" was not in the original plan of their group.

Li Yong was not afraid. During the time when the two sides were vigilant against each other, his physical strength and injuries were gradually recovering.

Compared to the extremely narrow and treacherous abyss passageway, with such a wide space, it was really easy for him to run.

However, the thought of "whether he is purely kind or has another purpose" has been lingering in Li Yong's mind.

Lucius obviously also saw Li Yong's vigilance.

It would be better to say that in Li Yong's situation, it is idiosyncratic to trust others easily.

Lucius did not hide his "ulterior motives" and frankly explained his purpose.

"Your Excellency Li Yong, as you guessed, the four of us master and apprentice did not come to this dangerous place with nothing to do. Instead, we came to explore a special relic and secret realm. To explore this secret realm is our Telas College Tradition."

If it is said that the material plane where Li Yong is located is half divided between humans and monsters, and the fighting spirit cultivation system and magic cultivation system of human beings are on equal footing.

The home plane of Lucius and his party, the plane of Farence, is a world completely dominated by humans and magic.

The vast majority of people who practice fighting qi are of average status, only slightly stronger than ordinary people. As "wizard attendants", they take on the responsibility of protecting magicians.

And the magician is the master behind the large and small countries in the plane of Farence, enjoying the supreme status, and is extremely mysterious in the eyes of ordinary mortals. .

In the plane of Farence, from monsters to attendants and ordinary humans, they are just mounts and research materials for magicians.

They developed countless factions, and while improving their absolute power, they researched many magic tools with complicated functions, forming an extremely powerful magic civilization.

The magicians of the plane of Farence no longer call themselves magicians, but instead use the title of "wizard", reflecting the difference from magicians who simply borrow the power of magic.

It is not so much a magical civilization as it is a wizard civilization.

And Terrass College is a middle-level force in the wizarding union of the wizarding civilization of Farence.

Compared with the three major forces that are at the pinnacle of the alliance and actually control the plane of Farence, Terrass Academy is neither weak nor strong.

Any peak force has a number of legendary mages with "god-like" power, and the strongest of the Terras Academy, "only" is an ordinary saint who has stepped onto the third floor of the ladder of truth and mastered the domain.

Lucius is an ordinary bloodline school instructor in the entire Terras Academy.

The gap between the plane of Farence and Li Yong's hometown is hard to describe in terms of strength or weakness.

But according to Lucius, most of the material planes that have beliefs and are directly or indirectly controlled by the gods are like this.

The gods will not allow power beyond their control to appear in the material plane, but will try their best to limit it.

In the feudal period, there was a saying that "the more ignorant the people are, the easier it is to control", so just change "ignorant" to "weak" here.

The weaker and more ignorant the indigenous forces on the plane, the easier it is for the gods to gain faith.

Compared with Li Yong's home plane, which was closed and backward, the Farence plane left the mainland tens of thousands of years ago, not only extending its tentacles to other planes, but even the abyss was not spared.

And the purpose of all this is to research and obtain materials.

From Lucius' understated tone, Li Yong learned that the objects of wizards' research, traced back to the source, are really heaven and earth, the world and laws.

Or say - "truth to Tao."

In fact, there have been many super geniuses who can use the power of law at the silver level in the Farence plane.

Unlike Splinder, who fell from the golden rank, those geniuses who can cast the mysterious laws did so without ever reaching the golden limit.

Naturally, this is not an achievement that can be achieved by a single genius, but the accumulation of countless years of a powerful civilization, on the shoulders of giants, a new height has been reached.

Just like the overlord who appeared in Li Yong's mind-mind shrine, the wizards tried to open up a way to move forward without becoming a god.

As a matter of course, the thoughts and actions of the wizards will surely incur the wrath of all the gods.

This act of trying to offend the gods naturally attracted crazy blows.

Even so, the wizards are not without power to fight back.

The Farence plane is not the only wizard civilization, and in the wizard civilization of the endless plane, god-level wizards who can rival the true gods have already appeared.

Even as kind as Lucius, when talking about the highest purpose of wizards and wizards, there is still an unconcealable arrogance.

That is not personal arrogance, but the self-confidence brought about by civilization and the backbone of being a mortal without fear of gods.

Li Yong felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

He even understood the "country bumpkin" eyes of the three disciples.

That kind of psychology is like a kind of cultural confidence of urban people to uncivilized barbarians.

Li Yong would not try to defend himself.

But... from some cases mentioned by Lucius when explaining the civilization of wizards, he can see that the path of wizards is not necessarily correct.

As the study of the law deepens, wizards will become more ruthless while mastering the power of the law in advance.

Things like using flesh and blood compatriots as experimental subjects have become commonplace in the eyes of wizards. When Lucius mentioned it, he didn't even show any discomfort.

——As long as you can go further on the path of seeking truth, sacrifice is not a big deal.

Indifference to life has been engraved into the blood of wizards.

Even if he sacrificed himself for this, or even made himself a research object, turning himself into a monster, such things only made Lucius frown a little.

What is the difference between such a path and those gods who have been eroded by the truth and turned into machines?

Compared with the words of Lucius and the overlord, Li Yong suddenly realized an astonishing thing.

When the Overlord talks about the divergence of paths, he doesn't mention the way the wizards have blazed a different path.

However, the birth of wizards was even earlier than the human world in the plane of Farence...

Li Yong has already seen that the overlord is probably just a remnant soul, but the more so, the more frightening.

It's hard to imagine that a ray of remnant soul has traveled through such a long time and still stays in Li Yong's shrine.

Excluding this point, Li Yong also realized the difference between the wizards and the Overlord.

Wizards believe in "knowledge is power". They carry the laws with external objects, then study and deconstruct them, and then borrow the supreme power.

In their eyes, including the "occupation" bestowed by the supreme rules, even the world and laws are just tools.

The Overlord directly gave up the control and pursuit of the rules, and turned to pursue the ultimate of life, based on the mixed substance that is the foundation of all things, to evolve the rules in the human body, and then break the law with force.

Not only the "Overlord", I am afraid ninety-nine out of ten "Chaos Warriors" are also listed here.

Of course, he himself didn't go into details like this, but following Lucius' description of the wizard, Li Yong recalled his words, flashes of inspiration flashed in his mind from time to time, and many reveries arose like analogy.

Some ideas are still uncertain at this time, but Li Yong gradually became certain. As he became more familiar with the knowledge of wizards, the veil covering the mysterious overlord would also be lifted.

Of course, before that... Whether it's simply wanting to go back to his hometown, or gaining knowledge, and building a good relationship with the few wizards in front of him, it can save a lot of effort.

"Actually, before this exploration, we brought a whole team of attendants with us as guards. But unfortunately, after we broke through the plane passage, we encountered a powerful demon army. That It was completely beyond our expectations. As one of the bases of the Terrass College in the abyss for thousands of years, the safety of this space coordinate has been verified a long time ago. But God did not fulfill his wish... During that escape , Not only did all the attendants sacrifice, even most of my students got separated."

While Lucius shook his head and sighed, Li Yong's eyes lighted up quietly.

From "safety" to "accident", a demon army that should not have appeared here made Li Yong's imagination run wild.

He couldn't help but think of the abyss passageway in Hongsenling.

Although according to Lucius, the first layer of the abyss is connected to the material plane one by one... But since Lucius and the others can directly connect to the third layer of the abyss from the Farence plane, there is no reason why the abyssal demons cannot be here Open up a space channel leading to the material plane!
Li Yong was dazed, but at this time Lucius finally explained his purpose: "Our guards have all been killed, so dare to ask Your Excellency Li Yong, can I hire you as our guard? As a reward, After this exploration is over, when I return to the Farence plane, I will take you away together. Even... even returning to the material plane to continue the cooperative relationship is not a bad idea."

Lucius smiled lightly and threw out the olive branch.

"Teacher! How is this guy capable!?"

The red-haired female apprentice named Rebecca finally couldn't hold back and expressed her resistance.

The look of disgust was not concealed.

After the battle between Li Yong and Springer, the state at this time is not flattering.

There is no mystery at all, several large holes have been broken, and the armor is extremely thin.

A disheveled, disheveled appearance with no temperament.

The body also exudes a strong smell of blood and burnt.

I didn't pay attention at first, but when I looked closely, it made Rebecca feel even more uncomfortable.

The thought of traveling with such a man gave Rebecca goosebumps.

It would be fine if they were strong. Now that the few wizards don't have meat shields around them, they can have a guard, so they can bear it by pinching their noses.

But before that, all the wizards and attendants were all killed in battle. Li Yong's face was so young, and he was still a bumpkin who didn't know anything. There was nothing convincing to her that he could do a good job in guarding tasks.

To put it bluntly, Rebecca thinks that such a person may not be as strong and experienced as her, and is a pure burden.

——This is another outpouring of kindness from mentor Lucius.

If the teacher usually wants to show kindness, she will of course be an image of a good girl and will not show any resistance.

But what's the situation now?
In this abyss, they are almost unable to protect themselves, so how can they have a spare bottle of oil?
The other two male apprentices didn't say anything, but judging from their expressions, they clearly meant the same thing.

Lucius couldn't help laughing when he saw this, tapped his round glasses lightly with his fingers, shook his head and said, "Your Excellency Li Yong looks young, and his strength is far superior to yours! I'm begging him for your safety." ah!"

The lenses on Lucius' glasses flashed. Seeing the instructor's movements, how could the three of Rebecca not understand what he meant?
Lucius' glasses are not vision-correcting eyes, but magical devices that carry several additional spell slots, the most commonly used of which is naturally "identification".

This action proves that Lucius has confirmed part of Li Yong's strength with the identification technique.

The three apprentices immediately looked at Li Yong with shocked expressions.

Lucius turned his head to look at Li Yong, and said with a smile: "How is it, Your Excellency Li Yong? You have strayed into the abyss, and your future is uncertain, and my weak and weak disciples are in need of protection. Both of us benefit."

Li Yong was noncommittal.

This "walking together" is completely different from the current situation of simply avoiding monsters and moving forward.

The so-called secret realm cannot be without danger, otherwise Lucius and others would not have brought a large team as guards in the first place.

Li Yong was very clear about Lucius' desire to assume the role of a human shield.

On the surface, the two sides are mutually beneficial, but Li Yong has seen the aloofness hidden under Lucius' gentle appearance.

——Seeing that you have nowhere to go, use it as a shield for us. If it goes well, I will take you out of this ghost place when I leave.If the process is done well, I can continue to let you be my dog, okay?

Maybe it's a bit extreme, but from another perspective, Lucius' "suggestion" is exactly that.

The corner of Li Yong's mouth slightly curled up, pretending not to know, and asked: "Mr. Lucius, let's put aside the dangers encountered in that secret realm for now. Dare I ask... what is the name of that so-called secret realm?"

Lucius didn't know why Li Yong came up with such a question, he was a little surprised, smiled lightly, and said, "The Tomb of the Dragon and the Titan."

Together with Lucius and others, they flew close to the ground on a magic device.

There is no doubt that they have been approaching that "secret realm".

The closer they got, the stronger the guidance in Li Yong's blood.

That is the restless "giant blood".
