Chapter 211 Abyss

The impact of the rand continues to ferment.

After dealing with Astor's questions, Lu Yi was called to Duke Klein's study the next day to give him some instructions.

Even Zorn later gave him some subtle reminders.

"...Well, I'm really fine, don't worry, everything is fine...Okay, goodbye, Saman."

Lu Yi lowered his eyes and responded, unconsciously fiddling with the receiver in his hand. When there was no more sound coming back from the other side, he slowly put down the receiver.

857 sighed: [How many is this? The eighth or ninth? Does the whole world know that Lu Yi and Lan Te are close friends? Shouldn't we have associated these two characters together in the first place...]

[“There are pros and cons. It’s hard to say whether it’s right or not.” Lu Yi answered casually.

Since Lant disappeared, all the people closely related to him have been affected, with the Vatican and his relatives and friends being the first to bear the brunt.

In the past few days, countless communications have been received at Klein Manor, all of which have either indirectly or directly expressed concern about Lu Yi's current condition.

Lu Yi knew that his friends were worried about him, but there were many things he couldn't say directly. He could only try to comfort them first and then implicitly convey his trust in Rand.

He stayed at Klein Manor all day long. No matter how many rumors there were, Duke Klein and Astor would not let them reach his ears, so the years seemed particularly peaceful and calm. Lu Yi could only learn about the turmoil in the outside world through 857.

For example, the impact on the Vatican.

Although the Holy See promptly verified the identity of "Rante the Rebel", Pope Callisto's previous act of recommending Rante as the Son of God against all odds still damaged his reputation.

No one thinks that the Pope knowingly concealed the truth, but he can never avoid being accused of "negligence".

During his decades-long flawless tenure, Pope Callisto made his first reprehensible mistake. Even though this so-called "oversight" was not a stain at all, it was exaggerated by people with ulterior motives into a serious stain.

[Kaka has been in some trouble lately.] 857 reported the intelligence as usual, [I didn't expect that so many empires were dissatisfied with Kaka.]

[“The conflict between the Empire and the Church has long been out of control. The protection fees that the Church has to collect every year alone are a considerable expense, not to mention the control over the people’s hearts.”]

Lu Yi found it a little funny, and suddenly said humorously: [“For those kings, how can this not be a hellish joke? Stealing a large amount of gold coins from the empire, and then using a small part of this gold coins to buy the hearts of the people of the empire... bloody profit, bloody profit! No wonder those empires can't sit still, they finally found some fault with Callisto, of course they want to make trouble for him.”]

【61Do you think Kaka will be affected?】

Lu Yi asked back: [“Do you hope that Callisto will be affected?”]

857 paused for a moment and replied in a serious tone: [Based on the analysis of the current data and information, there is an 89% chance that Kaka will not be affected.]

Callisto's foundation in the Holy See cannot be easily shaken. Even if there are frictions within the Holy See, they will quickly present a united front in external situations.

【“89%?”】 Lu Yi repeated curiously, 【“Then what’s the reason for the remaining 11%?”】

[Because of the unknown variable of Rand.] After answering this question, 857 did not forget to continue to answer Lu Yi's previous question, [At present, Kaka is a friend to us, not an enemy, so I hope he will not be affected.]

Lu Yi chuckled and said with an ambiguous meaning: [“This time, I think differently from you…”]

[“I hope Callisto will be affected.”]

…

The awakening from Lant's perspective came unexpectedly. Lu Yi was holding the cup of water and trying it casually in the previous second, but what came into his mind in the next second was no longer the uncontrollable darkness.

He immediately adjusted his state and slowly opened his eyes in a daze.

Mios, who was sitting high on the throne, seemed absent-minded. After a long while, he turned his eyes to look at him and said lazily, "Awake?"

Lu Yi lowered his head and said respectfully but not servilely, "My Lord."

If it were a normal day, Mios would be willing to tease Lant, this cute little believer. But at this moment, he was annoyed by Ares, who had gone crazy recently, and the fragments of Chaos's divine power were nowhere to be found, so he didn't feel like joking at all.

Mios got straight to the point and said, "You go to the Abyss, the Fallen, the Magic Beasts, and the Demons will all obey your command, and then a gap will be opened in the Orc Forest. Do you understand what I mean?"

Mios gave the task promptly and cleanly, without any preparation or buffering, and without any extra explanation or instructions. His narrow eyes stared straight at Lant.

"Understood. Glory to you forever..." Lu Yi leaned forward and skillfully drew an inverted cross on his chest.

Before he could finish, Mios waved his hand and disappeared from the throne the next second.

Lu Yi slowly raised his head and looked at the empty throne, and then he was pulled away by an unknown force and disappeared from the spot.

He was teleported to another realm by this inexplicable force.

The vast expanse of red sand seems to have no end. What meets the eye is the dark red world. Day and night are confined here. On the left is the azure round sun, and on the right is the bright red waning moon.

Waves of red surged, but what hit the body was an extremely biting chill.

Even though Lu Yi was not very sensitive to extreme temperatures, he roughly estimated that the temperature at this time was at least below minus forty degrees Celsius.

Not to mention ordinary humans, even low- to mid-level magicians might not be able to withstand it for a long time.

Lu Yi looked at the empty sand around him, but a visible wind suddenly blew up in the distance.

The strong winds sweeping across the desert can easily form tornadoes, and even in the abyss, it seems that this rule cannot be escaped.

Besides, this is an abyss where no one can survive, and a tornado is far more than just a tornado.

He had just arrived and had no idea what traps were waiting for him in this abyss, so he could only be careful.

[“…I don’t know what that wind is, but my intuition tells me it’s not good.”]

Lu Yi took a deep breath, gathered his strength and ran wildly towards the distance.

He ran wildly without looking back. Although the elemental power around him was very thin, Lu Yi could still clearly feel that the tornado behind him was gradually taking shape.

The wind speed is very fast.

But he is faster.

Red sand is flying all over the sky, and the sun and moon in the abyss are hanging high in the sky, dazzling.

Only one person is racing against the wind and sand.

It was in this scene that Arthur first met Lanter Hobbs.

For the first time, he felt that this abyss that had bored him so much actually had a magnificent side.

The universe is vast, and the human race is supposed to be small and fragile.

But that person showed breathtaking strength and beauty in the raging sandstorm.

It is an extremely powerful and vigorous life, a treasure that the monsters immersed and sinking in the abyss can never possess.

The wind and sand could not catch up with him, and could only reluctantly lift up his inky long hair.

Arthur seemed to understand why the god was so fond of a small human.

Arthur treasured this scene deep in his memory for a long time. Even though many years had passed and the old friend was no longer around, the arc of Lant's hair and the faint smile at the corners of his eyes were still vividly engraved in front of his eyes.

But that's all in the future. At this moment, Arthur followed Rant with a subtle and scrutinizing attitude.

"How long do you plan to run? The red wave will sweep across the entire abyss and will not stop until the time is right."

Lu Yi took the time to glance at the man who suddenly appeared beside him, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you sent by the Lord God to pick me up?"

There are no obvious features of the abyss. This is a high-level demon.

"Yes and no." Arthur raised his eyebrows and said, "The Lord God only asked me to pick you up, and did not ask me to protect you in front of the red waves."

"How about you blame your bad luck? Or... blame the person who threw you in at the wrong time?"

"Tsk, human race."

As soon as he said this, Lu Yi glanced at him sideways again.

"If you don't want to smile, don't smile. You're ugly. I'm too lazy to smile at you."

Arthur's heartbeat quickened slightly just one second after he was being looked at by him, and the next second he was so angry at the blunt and ugly words.

He was used to running rampant in the abyss, and no one dared to say anything he didn't like to hear in front of him. He always vented his anger on the spot and never dragged it out until the next day.

But perhaps the scene of Rant racing against the storm was too shocking, Arthur couldn't get angry with him at all. He felt a breath stuck in his throat, which made him feel upset for no reason.

Arthur was so angry that he could only curse in a low voice in the demon language, and then said nothing more.

Mute? Lu Yi glanced at him sideways again.

"Which direction should we go?" Lu Yi asked.

Arthur said nothing.

Just as Lu Yi was about to ask again, he heard Arthur's muffled answer.

"Keep going south, the red wave will last for a whole Abyssal Day."

Lu Yi nodded and changed direction instantly.

As he changed direction, he suddenly leaped towards Arthur without warning.

Arthur was caught off guard and was kicked more than ten meters away in shock. He was directly sucked into the tornado by the surrounding air pressure.

"You—"

The remaining sounds were also drowned out by the wind and sand.

857 stared in amazement as the demon king was swallowed by the tornado, and immediately not even a trace of him could be found.

[Lu Lu Lu Lu Yi, what were you doing just now? ]

Lu Yi said casually: [“I kicked him.”]

[Aren't you afraid of offending him? ! ]

Lu Yi was surprised and said: [“What? Shouldn’t we be eager to offend him? This will make my next mission difficult!”]

[“The mission that Mios assigned to me was to destroy the orc forest. Who knows, the next target might be the human race.”]

[“If this high-level demon gets injured today, fewer lives will be lost on the other side of the Isaiah continent tomorrow.”]

Please, he is a traitor of the human race!

People with different ideals cannot work together. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to your friends!

He just kicked the demon into the red waves and didn't take advantage of the opportunity to attack him, which was already very kind of him.

[“Looking at it this way, it’s absolutely a hundred benefits with no harm at all!”] Lu Yi said happily.

As for the demon just now?

Who cares!

Tsk, the demons.

The author has something to say:

I'm back, I'm back!! Two days later than expected (kneel down gently)

A small red envelope is dropped in this chapter!
