Chapter 298 The results of the investigation of the elves
7 p.m.
After dinner, Lu Heng lay on the sofa in the living room, gnawing on an apple and scrolling through his phone.
At this time, an international news began to be broadcast on the TV.
A very bloody photo was released on the news, with the bloodiest location marked.
Even so, it still makes people frown when they see the photos.
"Hello, dear viewers, I am reporter Wang Mingyang. I am currently in the place where the vampire incident is rumored to have occurred. It is located in a small town on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, Siam.
"Tonight, there is a tense atmosphere in the sky of the town. The residents are panicked and there are a lot of discussions in the streets and alleys. They are all talking about a series of mysterious events that have happened in recent days.
“According to local residents’ descriptions, in the past week, many bizarre and bloody incidents have occurred in the town at night, making the nights here particularly gloomy.
“Some people claimed to hear strange cries and screams late at night, and the next day they found a victim lying on the roadside with suspected bite marks on his body.
“Some people returning home from a night trip claimed to have witnessed mysterious vampire-like creatures wandering in the night, and their appearance was horrifying.
"The local investigation bureau has intervened in the investigation and arrested a person with super powers who was addicted to super powers. The suspect confessed to the case.
"It turns out that the reason for this bizarre incident was because of an ordinary potion.
"Due to the local government's lack of supervision of SPA medicines, SPA medicines are rampant. People with supernatural powers who have been injected with SPA medicines have become dependent on the drugs. After losing their minds, they will suck the blood of others.
"At the time of the news broadcast, our reporter had already learned from Siamese officials that they were aware of the dangers of super potions and announced that they would supervise super potions.
"The harm of super potions is far more than that. We should take warning and resolutely boycott such illegal products.
"Thank you all for watching. I am reporter Wang Mingyang. I will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter and bring you the latest reports. Goodbye."
The development of the situation was almost the same as what Lu Heng remembered. It was at this point that super potions began to spread on a large scale.
Regarding the proliferation of super potions, Lu Heng once thought, could he prevent this from happening with his own strength?
The answer is: impossible.
If these countries themselves do not ban super potions, how can individuals stop them with their own power?
Even in the early days of the proliferation of super potions, some countries announced the legalization of super potions in order to increase tax revenue.
Only a few countries, such as Daxia, are firm on banning super potions.
Lu Heng didn't do anything. He gave a reminder two months ago before the super potion started to spread.
This made Daxia ban super potions two months in advance, making the situation in the country much better.
At least there has not yet been a flood of super potions in China.
Lu Heng had once seen with his own eyes a person with supernatural powers sucking the blood of his kind on the street. The situation should not be like that in this life.
After Li Xiuyun finished washing the dishes, he washed a basket of green vegetables and put it on the coffee table. He stood and read the news for a few times, and then said seriously:
"You must not touch this kind of thing, it's too scary. I heard from my former neighbors that someone in Xingyang Street injected this kind of thing, which made people become neither humans nor ghosts. It sounds scary."
Lu Heng naturally knew the dangers of super potions. Hearing his mother talk about it, he smiled and agreed: "I know."
Li Xiuyun thought for a moment and then added: "You also have to remind Mu Yu not to touch this kind of thing. No, I'd better tell the old sister-in-law and ask her to warn Mu Yu. Such a good girl cannot be let go by such a thing. The planting was ruined.”
Su Muyu was fully involved in the super potion incident.
So Lu Heng wasn't too worried, but he couldn't stop the elders at home from worrying.
……
the next day.
Lu Heng and Su Muyu went to the Longwei Mercenary Group headquarters.
The two of them are the honorary captains of Longwei, but they can count on one hand the number of times they have gone to Longwei's headquarters.
This time I heard that Wu Weibing and Tao Yalun were transferred to the Longwei Mercenary Regiment as captains, and their ranks were also promoted.
I haven't met them for so long since I returned, so I just took advantage of their promotion to get together.
Not only Wu Weibing and Tao Yalun, but all the supernatural warriors who returned from the elf world this time were promoted.
However, after promotion, everyone went their separate ways.
After all, most of them have been promoted to captains. They have to lead the team in the future and can no longer stay in the same team.
Chen Zihang's situation is different. He is a student at the Seventh National Defense University, and he has already obtained a postgraduate placement. As for whether he wants to continue studying, it depends on his choice.
A group of people met at the headquarters of the Longwei Mercenary Group, and then drove to a hotel for dinner.
I just came back from the Abyss battlefield not long ago. Everyone has been through a lot, and when we meet, everyone is full of emotions.
Nine people came to this party, including Lu Heng and six others, including Chen Zihang and Wu Weibing.
Xie Shien went back to the capital to visit his wife and did not have time to come over.
Moreover, Xie Shien is the 027 hunted by the Creator Organization. He usually needs to hide his identity and will not often appear next to Lu Heng and the others unless necessary.
In addition, several of Wu Weibing were transferred to other war zones. They were just transferred and did not have time to come over for a party.
So this time it was a gathering of nine people. Although there were not many people, everyone was very happy.
"Everyone has been promoted very quickly. We are all lieutenants in such a short time." Lu Heng raised a glass of congratulations.
Before this, Wu Weibing and Tao Yalun were still sergeants. This time they came back from the elf world and were promoted to lieutenants, so everyone was very happy.
"I would also like to thank Commander Lu for his good leadership." Wu Weibing quickly complimented.
Tao Yalun teased from the side: "Old Wu has begun to talk about Captain Lu."
Lu Heng rarely heard people call him Commander Lu. At first glance, he was a little uncomfortable with this title.
Seeing that his friends were all flourishing, Lu Heng was also happy for them.
At this gathering, Chen Zihang spoke less.
Lu Heng asked strangely: "What about you? What are your plans for the future?"
Chen Zihang spread his hands and replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, but I didn't hand over the spring water. If I want to join the army, I don't know if I will be excluded."
When Lu Heng heard this, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Wu Weibing and others looked at each other, coughed quickly, and wanted to change the topic.
Chen Zihang is a student at the National Defense University. His status is different from that of Wu Weibing and others, so he doesn't have so many scruples about what he says: "In a private gathering, what can't you say?"
Wu Weibing had no choice but to reply: "Just say it. It's not a big deal. Except for Chen Zihang, all eight of us have been promoted. It has something to do with handing over the Moon Well Spring Water."
"Forced?" Lu Heng asked with a frown.
Wu Weibing waved his hand and explained: "Not really, and not all of it was handed over. The instructor gave us separate ideological work and asked us to hand over one-tenth of the Moon Well Spring Water.
"Furthermore, the organization promised that after we hand over one-tenth of the Moon Well spring water, we can get a third-level source of quality.
"If there is no third-level source of water, Moon Well Spring water will have to be used to upgrade skills, and the benefits cannot be maximized." So after thinking about it, I agreed to hand over one-tenth of the Moon Well Spring water and got a copy of the third-level spring water. Sephiroth.
"Now I have reached the third level, and Lao Tao and the others are in a similar situation.
"We all have third-level ranks, have been promoted to lieutenants, and have been transferred to various places as captains. We all have a good future."
After Lu Heng listened, he asked: "In other words, each of the eight of you handed over one-tenth of the Moon Well spring water?"
Wu Weibing nodded and replied: "Absolutely. I didn't ask in detail, but everyone has been promoted and the situation is similar."
In fact, if Lu Heng was in their position, he would most likely make the same decision.
Using one-tenth of the Moon Well spring water to exchange for a third-level source of essence, you can also be promoted to military rank.
This transaction is not a loss, and it does not mean handing over all the Moon Well spring water.
Therefore, Wu Weibing and others are very high-spirited now. They have achieved the third rank and been promoted to lieutenant. Their future prospects are limitless.
This is definitely a good thing.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
However, Lu Heng heard something different from this information.
Eight people each handed over one-tenth of the Moon Well spring water. The total of the spring water handed over was almost enough for one bottle.
I don’t know if the collected Moon Well spring water is used for research or if it has other uses.
Next, everyone chatted while cooking hot pot, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Lin Zeyu's eyes widened when he heard that they had obtained the third-level job. He complained: "I am the only one who does not have the third-level job here? I am the last person in the world."
Everyone laughed, but did not take his words seriously.
……
After the party, one day later, Lu Heng prepared to teleport to the elven world and went to find Tyreese to continue practicing his second trick, Tracer.
After hearing this arrangement, Su Muyu also wanted to go along.
She also chose a spatial anchor point for her world mission reward. It was not that the other two reward options were too bad, but that she promised the Ancient Tree of Knowledge to collect the Tree of Life Vine and bring it back in the future, so she needed a spatial anchor point.
And the other two reward options do not include god-level rewards such as increased skill slots.
"What are you teleporting here for? Just to accompany me?" Lu Heng felt that this was not in line with her character.
After all, teleporting over requires consuming divine energy. The longer you stay, the more divine energy is consumed.
"Aren't you happy to be with you?" Su Muyu smiled with her hands behind her back.
"That's not the case, I just think you are usually so stingy with your sexual energy. This is not your style." Lu Heng joked.
Su Muyu frowned and hummed: "I'm going to the Moon Shadow Forest. You can practice and improve the natural messenger's control of the tree vine of life. You can also go to see the ancient tree of knowledge and ask a lot about the abyss. Last time, I was too pressed for time. There are many questions left unasked.”
The elven civilization is the civilization that has resisted the Abyss for the longest time, and the ancient trees of knowledge are the most knowledgeable plants in the Quel'dorei world.
Given enough time, much can be learned from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge.
"Okay."
So the two teleported to the Quel'dorei world together, and appeared in the hedge garden of Moonshadow Forest.
Seren has returned to the forest, continuing to study natural magic and looking for a way to purify the abyss.
Seeing Lu Heng and the others appear, Serien did not show any surprise and said hello casually: "You're here so soon?"
Lu Heng looked around and asked, "How long have we been gone?"
Therian replied: "Almost three months."
For the world of Quel'dorei, three months have passed.
Only eight days have passed since Lu Heng returned to the main world. The flow of time in the two worlds is different.
This should be the time difference caused by the transmission.
After chatting briefly with Serien for a while, Lu Heng then asked: "Where is Elder Tyrese now?"
"It should be in Koros City, do you want to go there?" Serien knew the purpose of Lu Heng's coming here as soon as he heard it. He should be learning swordsmanship from Tyrese.
"Yes, I want to go to Kolos." Lu Heng nodded.
"Just in time, help me bring these two golden tree species over and find a place to plant them in the city." Seren said, taking out two golden tree species and placing them in Lu Heng's palm.
Every day spent in the world of Quel'dorei requires an additional amount of divine energy, so there is no time to play here slowly.
After Lu Heng and Serien finished chatting, they were about to leave for Kolos. Then he looked at Su Muyu and asked, "Do you want to go together? Or stay in Moon Shadow Forest?"
Su Muyu teleported here, preparing to learn from the Ancient Tree of Knowledge, so she didn't have to go to Koros City.
But she nodded vigorously and replied: "Of course we will go to Koros together."
It takes half a day to fly from Moon Shadow Forest to Koros City.
After Su Muyu saw the Ancient Tree of Knowledge first, the two set off and flew to Koros City on a mechanical tiger.
Half a day later, the two arrived at Kolos City. They first found Fiona and handed her the golden tree species, and then talked about the changes in the elves.
Three months have passed since the last vampire attack.
The city of Koros has changed a lot. The damaged areas have been repaired, and some collapsed buildings have been cleared, but no new buildings have been built yet. There may be other plans.
Fiona took the two of them to wander around the city and briefly talked about the past three months.
Lu Heng remembered that he had another question before leaving, and asked: "By the way, did you find out later? Who opened the portal of the Vampire Clan?"
When this matter was mentioned, Fiona immediately became interested, led the two of them into the archives room, and said:
"We did find some clues about this matter.
"At that time, no one really saw who opened the vampire clan's portal, because the guards who stayed in the space corridor were killed.
"At the beginning, we couldn't even find the bodies of the guards. It wasn't until we cleared the collapsed buildings in the city that we found several bodies under the masonry and confirmed that they were the guards of the space corridor."
< br>
After Lu Heng heard this information, he asked: "Have you found any clues on these guards?"
Fiona took out a record, handed it to Lu Heng, and replied: "We did find some clues. There are claw marks on the bodies of these guards, like those of wild beasts. It is certain that they were not caused by elves.
< br>
"The only profession that can cause such claw marks among us elves is the druid profession, but druids love peace and cannot do such a thing. Moreover, the number of druids in our elves is very small. We have also inquired. Suspicion can be eliminated.”
"Besides Druid, is there anything else that can be done?" Lu Heng continued to ask.
"If it's not a beast, there is another possibility, that is a dark werewolf. We also compared the claw marks, and they are indeed very similar to the wounds caused by the dark werewolf. Therefore, we doubt whether there is a dark werewolf that has sneaked into Koros City. But no useful clues were found." As she spoke, Fiona turned to the last page of the record and pointed out the content to Lu Heng.
