Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 191 Li Yu: Don’t let anything happen

West Bear City.

"Fuck him, what's wrong with these teachers? They don't even give us ID when we go abroad. Aren't they afraid that we'll be caught as illegal immigrants and that will bring shame to the country?"

Li Yu, who was hiding on the road, was accusing all the teachers.

"If you ask me, we should just do something big and make a big noise here. Don't worry about whether it will alert the local Magic Association and the Inquisition. We can just rush all the way to Tokyo. If that doesn't work, we can go to the Kokugawa Observatory in nearby Osaka City. Once we get there, it won't matter if our identities are exposed."

"It's a good opportunity to appreciate the expressions of the foreign police who want to arrest us but can't do anything to us."

You know what, you really have to say, Li Yu's proposal is indeed quite attractive. After all, we are all chosen ones, but we have to hide here and there like an illegal resident, and when we meet the police, we are as scared as a mouse seeing a cat. It is really a bit depressing.

Rather than hiding their intentions, the young people preferred to do something heroic. Of course, this dangerous idea was quickly put to rest by their team leader Ai Jiangtu.

"Everyone, please be patient for now, find a place to rest for the night, and then rush to the Osaka National Pavilion tomorrow."

As the captain of the Kokufu team, he was obliged to send all the players to Osaka without missing a single one.

Speaking of the National Pavilion, Ai Jiangtu suddenly remembered something and asked:

"Li Yu, don't participate in the competition with the Osaka National Pavilion team. Although the Japanese defense team is not bad, we should not be able to take action."

"Ah?" Li Yu asked doubtfully.

"But haven't I heard that the national pavilion team here is very strong?"

"We are very strong only when compared with other countries. Compared with a big country like us, the strength of the defense team is basically not enough."

"It's not time for you to take action yet."

Ever since seeing the strength displayed by Li Yu, Ai Jiangtu has become more confident in this World Academy Competition. At least he has to prepare for winning the championship from now on. It is a universal rule for all countries that the strong hide intelligence if possible.

"Okay, I don't care."

Although being arrogant is not good, Li Yu does have the qualifications now. I see that everyone here is just a bunch of nobody, so Li Yu is not very interested in some unnecessary battles.

Compared with fighting, he is more interested in studying magic circles. At least after his mental power jumped two levels, Li Yu has found that his understanding of magic circles has deepened a lot. Many problems that he once had only a vague understanding of are automatically arranged and combined into the optimal solutions in his mind. Now he is not far from becoming a high-level array master.

Of course, spiritual food cannot defeat the harsh reality. A group of illegal residents were still trapped by their documents. Finally, they spent a lot of money to settle down in a Buddhist temple called Yanming Temple.

"Sure enough, there is a good saying."

Living in the temple's side room prepared for pilgrims, Li Yu sighed in the room.

"What are you talking about?"

The others asked with some curiosity.

"There are 'Yuan' people in Buddhism. Domestic monks rely on Chinese currency, and Japanese temples also rely on Japanese yen to survive."

After understanding this Chinese homophone, everyone in the room smiled knowingly.

After packing his luggage, since Ai Jiangtu did not arrange any tasks for him, Li Yu took advantage of his free time to go to the city to purchase.

For Li Yu, every city is a unique surprise. Due to differences in culture, environment and other factors, every city has eye-catching specialties. Although they may not be very precious, they are at least quite novel. Xixiong City is no exception.

For example, the so-called "holy turtle" at the gate of Yanming Temple. When seeing the holy turtle Li Yu could not help but think of various turtle-like beasts in mythology, such as Xuanwu and Bixi. Moreover, the holy turtle seemed to be quite popular in Xixiong City. It is not only worshipped in Yanming Temple, but also in front of many ancient and luxurious courtyards in Xixiong City.

Li Yu didn't believe at all the local legends that the sacred turtle was the father of the sea and dominated all the seas. The sacred turtle might really exist and might possess great power, but it couldn't be a real god, let alone control all the seas.

If such words were spoken, where would the Lord of the Bermuda Forbidden Zone and many of the emperor-level monsters of the Siren Empire be placed? Would they agree?
Xixiong City is similar to a fourth-tier small city in China. It is a little more prosperous than the original Bo City, but that’s all. There are not many magical resources. After randomly searching for a few magic shops, Li Yu gave up the idea of ​​looking for surprises.

Too ordinary.

Demon-slaying tools, shield tools, armor tools...

The only advantage is that the variety is quite complete, but that's all.

The outdated design concept, the forging technique is not advanced, and the function is not eye-catching. In four words, it is conventional. To put it bluntly, it is mediocre. Li Yu understands that he has expected it without authorization. After all, conformity is the norm in the world, and things that are out of the ordinary are always easy to get out of people's control.

Walking out of the door of the last magic shop, Li Yu, who was about to go back disappointed, met an old woman in traditional kimono. The old woman was carrying a basket and walking slowly, looking a little tired.

The sidewalk was not very wide, so Li Yu turned sideways, intentionally keeping a large distance from the old woman, preparing to make things easier for her.

but……

Just as the other person passed by Li Yu, something surprising happened. The old man collapsed in front of him, and the vegetables and meat in the basket scattered out, leaving Li Yu stunned for a long time without being able to react.

Am I being scammed?

But in my perception, the other person's physical condition is not good, and he is most likely over-tired.

The person fell in front of him, and there was no one else on the path. If he just left, he would not be able to live with his conscience. Fortunately, there was a group of police patrolling at the intersection within his perception range, and Li Yu went over.

Thanks to the training given by his senior schoolmate, Li Yu is now an outstanding talent who has mastered four foreign languages, including English, French, German and Japanese, and has no problem communicating with the local police.

When the police came to the old woman, one of them shouted in surprise:

"Aunt Meilai?"

"Tong Ben, do you know this old man?" asked the colleague who had only provided basic treatment to the old man puzzledly after dialing the police.

"Team leader, Aunt Meilai, I told you about the neighbor whose only son and fiancée went to Yanming Temple and were seduced by his soul."

"Uncle Okamura passed away early, and now Aunt Meilai is the only one supporting the family. She also has to take care of her son. I guess she is sick from exhaustion again. This is not the first time."

"Really..."

"Wait a minute, both of you." Li Yu, who was standing nearby and heard some key words, interrupted the two of them with a slightly serious tone.

"How can this gentleman help me?"

Perhaps because they were looking for them to help the elderly, the two policemen were very friendly. Li Yu also asked directly:

"Excuse me, I'm here for tourism. I just happened to hear that you have a temple called Yanming Temple here. Is there anything wrong with this temple?"

"Have you been to Yanming Temple?!" The two policemen looked nervous at first, and then asked seriously.

"Ah, no, I just heard that this temple is very famous and I want to visit it."

Li Yu clearly noticed that after hearing that he was not going, the two policemen relaxed almost visibly.

"It's best if you don't go."

The policeman said nervously:
"Sir, you'd better not go to Yanming Temple. There are ghosts there that can seduce people."

"There are still ghosts in this world? Aren't they the spirits of the dead?"

Li Yu looked unconvinced and said that you are too superstitious and it is not magic at all.

Seeing that Li Yu didn't believe it, the policeman became a little anxious. He looked around and whispered:
"The thing is like this..."

……

"I see. Thank you both for your explanation. I'd better go visit other attractions."

"That's good."

"Goodbye, you two."

The ambulance arrived, and Li Yu separated from the police and set off on the return journey, gradually speeding up, muttering:

"I hope nothing happens."
