Chapter 186 The good news of victory
The humiliating defeat of the demons has become the biggest topic among adventurers from the Central Kingdoms recently.
One of the most prestigious brave teams currently, Faith, known as the "Sword Brave", bluntly said that with the breakthrough in magic research, with the current level of the demons, it will be easy for humans to win.
And indeed it is.
Taking the city fortress of Bacru Canyon - Val as the dividing line, countless brave teams and armies from various countries marched forward singing loudly, passing through the Xiuweian Mountains, crossing the Land of Swords, Apetido, Alt Forest, Lan Special, Bond and other places, approaching the demon clan's base camp.
The monsters and beasts along the way were all wiped out with the concerted efforts of everyone. The lost land of the northern countries was gradually being recovered. The morale of the human side was greatly increased. They raised their arms and shouted, and their momentum was like a rainbow. There was a tendency to directly aspire to the Demon King City Od.
"The Sword Hero has marched into the northern trading city of Tiua"
"Mankind's Strongest Warrior Basaka Kills the Monster General"
"The devout monk Abu, blessed by the goddess, regains the village of Fabel"
…
Looking at the series of exciting headlines in the Barum Metropolis Daily, Luke couldn't help but frown.
Although it was indeed good news, he did not see any famous demons being killed in this series of good news.
Not to mention the most powerful demon king, there is no news about the two right-hand men, the corrupt sage Guval and the omniscient Shurahat. The most famous Qibengxian and several great demons have also disappeared.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster, and there is definitely a problem in the middle.
"What's wrong?"
A female voice sounded. Terela, who was rubbing her sleepy eyes, approached Luke at the desk and leaned her head on his shoulder.
"nothing."
Luke quickly put away the newspaper and glanced at Terela, who had been promoted from lover to wife, "Why don't you sleep more? I just took a rest."
I was already very tired after a day-long wedding, but the effect of the meteor shower and the flower field was probably too good. After the ceremony, Terela pestered him to fool around in the middle of the night, doing many things that she had not dared to do because of shyness before. The battle ended just before dawn.
"Who told you to get up so early? I was woken up when you came together."
Terela complained vaguely, her voice sounding a little hoarse.
"I'll wait for you to wake up from now on."
Sensing something was wrong, Luke's palm emitted a faint white light, and he approached her throat and performed a simple treatment.
There is also healing magic in magic, but the effect is quite limited. Major injuries require drinking medicine from a doctor or seeking treatment from a monk who believes in the goddess.
Monks are equivalent to priests in this world, responsible for treating and clearing negative conditions. They themselves will also have resistance to curses under the protection of the goddess.
Terela touched her throat, which felt much better, "Should we go visit Ms. Luo Yin?"
"No, she doesn't care about this, you can sleep peacefully."
After putting the person back to sleep, Luke returned to the study room and saw Fulian sitting there looking thoughtful.
"You don't look right."
Luke noticed something strange about Fulilian. She changed from her usual laziness and indifference, with a little confusion on her face.
"Luke, do you know who your biological father is?"
This question caught Luke off guard, "I don't know, Lenis didn't mention it to me."
"You didn't take the initiative to ask?"
Luke was silent for a moment before answering: "I thought the elf was emotionally indifferent. She probably met a male elf, lived together for a while, and then gave birth to me after we separated."
"The elves are indeed emotionally indifferent and have low desires, but since they are able to have children, they should not be separated easily."
After pondering for a moment, Fulian seemed to give up thinking and returned to her usual lack of motivation.
"Forget it, it's okay, let's start studying, or give you a wedding holiday?"
"After that, Terela and I will discuss it again. Now I'm more curious about why you left suddenly yesterday and now you ask me about my biological father."
Luke stared at Fulilian closely, "At that time, I vaguely sensed a magical aura not far away. It's just that it's not convenient to leave during a special period. Did you meet someone or something?"
Fulian was silent for a moment and then shook her head, "It's not a big deal. Let's talk about it after I investigate it clearly."
"..."
After a moment of silence, and after confirming that Fulilian had no intention of talking anymore, Luke gave up asking and changed the topic.
"Recently, the demons as a whole seem to be very decadent and are retreating steadily. The human army and brave men are quite powerful."
Fulilian calmly replied: "No matter how many ordinary demons you kill, there is no point. The big demons like Qibengxian are the key to peace." "Have you ever heard of Shurahat, the omniscient one? He is the deputy of the Demon King. It is said that his eyes can see through the past and the future and understand everything that may happen. With his arrangements, the Demon Clan cannot be defeated easily. "
Sounds like an alternate world version of Doctor Strange.
Lu Ke nodded solemnly. He had only watched the original anime. Now more than 20 years later, he has forgotten everything. Many small details are unclear, so he has collected information in this regard.
"Do you also think that the demon clan's current concession may be preparing for a big move?"
"It's not a possibility, it's a necessity."
At this point, Fulilian's expression became serious and she warned sternly: "Although your current strength is already very good, you must flee when you encounter big demons like Qibeng Xian. They are completely different from other demons." level."
Hundreds of years ago, she met the strongest of the Seven Bengxians, the Golden Mahat, a great demon who could turn everything into eternal gold.
With just one eye-to-eye contact, one of Fulillian's arms was turned into gold, and it took her a hundred years to restore the arm.
The other party obviously did it casually, without using any force at all, and probably didn't even know her name.
The elves who have lived for nearly a thousand years and the last great magician are all in this situation, let alone others.
The magic mastered by every Qibengxian is a unique skill that can be called a miracle, and other great demons cannot be underestimated. Their strength is even better than that of Qibengxian, but there are many great demons who are not so invincible in their mastery of magic.
"I see."
Luke nodded. He didn't think the demons were harmless just because they won the battle, but flying magic was indeed a great help to humans. Many newspapers attributed their success to flying magic.
In addition, magicians in the army do not need to buy magic books and can learn for free. People can't help but admire his generous behavior. Multiple factors have led to Luke's reputation rising, and some cities even plan to build a bronze statue of him.
There were also some unknown brave men who felt unconvinced. After all, they were the ones who went to the battlefield to deal with the demons. As a result, except for a few famous brave men such as the "Sword Hero" and the "Strongest Warrior", their reputation was lost to the magicians from the mainland. Take away.
However, those people are only in the minority. Most brave men also appreciate Luke. After all, there are usually magicians in the brave team. As long as you cooperate with the military once or twice, you can get flying magic for free and enhance the strength of the team.
…
After finishing studying, Luke returned to the room with thoughts about the movements of the demons.
Terela has already gotten up and is cleaning up the housework, but the pampered noble lady is obviously not skilled in this.
Seeing her struggling with the quilt, Luke waited for a moment, making sure that if she kept eating like this she wouldn't be able to keep up with the heat, then walked over and took over, folding the quilt in twos and twos.
"It's up to me to do these things. You just need to be patient."
"That won't work. I'm already a wife, how can I just be a vase."
Terela muttered the word "wife" with a little complacency. Then she puffed up her cheeks when she remembered her performance. Her eyes were burning with the fire of struggle, and she looked at the quilt as if she were looking at a demon.
Theoretically, when a noble lady marries, she should learn housekeeping and social skills like Ms. Luo Yin, but Lu Ke is not a nobleman with industrial property, and he has no interpersonal relationships. Compared to a nobleman, he is more like a solitary man who has no worries about food and clothing. past civilians.
This resulted in Terela not being able to use the things she had learned since she was a child. Although she was not very good at learning those things, she did not feel inferior about this. She was as dignified, elegant and well-behaved as other noble ladies. No matter what she thought, It is unlikely to catch the elf.
Since the role of a noble wife cannot be fulfilled, she is determined to be a civilian wife, taking care of her husband's daily life and making travel arrangements for him.
"I may not be doing very well now, but I will definitely open your eyes later!"
Terela showed great confidence.
So at noon, Luke did not wait for the meal prepared by the familiar chef Barr, but instead received a loving lunch from his wife.
A pot of barbecue that looked like charcoal paste, a plate of scrambled eggs mixed with eggshells, and a cup of soup that seemed to have a sheen that didn't belong to this world.
Ms. Luo Yin introduced with sympathy in her eyes: "Teila personally cooked this for you. It took a long time."
The meaning is obvious, knowing that it is not easy for you, but you must eat.
Terela waved her hands modestly, and "inadvertently" revealed her hands with one or two blisters wrapped in gauze, "It's nothing, it's all what I should do. After all, I am Luke's wife."
Faced with the pressure from the eyes of the elder who was close to his mother and the wife who had just married on the first day, Lu Ke bit the bullet and stuffed the carbon into his mouth.
"How about it?"
Suppressing his stomach churning, Lu Ke responded euphemistically: "The taste is extraordinary, there is huge room for improvement, and it feels amazing."
Terela nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that Chef Barr said that the dishes you like to eat are very unique and different from the food here. I specifically asked him to teach me how to cook them."
Finally, she added, "If you like, I will cook it for you every day."
Luke's face turned pale: "Then you have worked too hard."
"It's not hard, this is what I should do as a wife!"
Luke was silent for a while. He might need to design a magic that can lose his sense of taste.
