Chapter 432: You can lie to others, but don’t lie to yourself

Alyosha is tall and elegant.

There is a red tint at the corners of her eyes that is unique to vampires, just like some kind of red eyeshadow. Combined with her smooth, white cheeks and bright red lips, it can be said that she has her own makeup.

As soon as she arrived at the bar, many people kept stealing glances at her.

Alyosha was very calm about this, as if he was used to being stared at by many people.

"Andre's work is not going smoothly. He is not the kind of person who is good at networking. Although he is considered outstanding among mages, there are many talented people in Yao City. If he cannot quickly show and use his advantages, many opportunities will be lost."

She said: "It would be great if Mr. Huang Jia could help introduce one."

Alyosha raised Andrei's glass and said, "You are Andrei's friend, and you are also my friend. Let's drink to friendship."

Lu Yao raised his glass to her from a distance and took a sip.

Alyosha continued to talk about Andrei, saying that his biggest shortcoming was his stubbornness. After coming to Yaocheng, he still wanted to continue being a wizard, but then he got stuck.

But in Yaocheng at present, mages can be replaced, and there is no such subject as mage in the seminary.

After chatting for a while.

"I'm sorry, I took some time off to come here because I was worried about Andre. I followed the smell of his blood and found this place. Now I have to go back to the sanatorium. There are patients there waiting for blood tests."

"Then I'll excuse myself first."

Alyosha stood up and said goodbye. As she walked away, many people looked at her graceful back.

Andre sighed only after his wife left.

"My friend, do you understand my dilemma?"

"Alyosha became a doctor when she came to Yaocheng. She was very popular and had many admirers who sent her flowers. The Ale Theater also kept inviting her to be a stage performer because she was beautiful. Although she repeatedly emphasized that she was married, everyone still liked her very much."

"And I, her failed husband, am still unemployed."

"In the Abyss, vampires are actually a race that people hate and fear. It's not an exaggeration to say that they are notorious. But in Yao City, or the Yao Clan, they are very popular."

"Mages are highly respected in the Abyss, but they are insignificant here. Because there are sky lanterns, steam carriages, single furnace beasts, and dragon spells, which can replace mages to complete various tasks."

Andre took a sip of the bitter wine.

Lu Yao understood.

Andre is now facing a double dilemma: career failure and decline in family status.

The young wizard looked dejected.

"Wait a minute, I need to pee."

After a while, Lu Yao came back and said, "Let's go out for a walk."

The two of them strolled through the cold streets again.

It was deep winter, and most of the people walking on the street were wearing thick coats and cotton wool or leather hats, and it was difficult to see each other's faces from a distance.

"I didn't drink your wine in vain, so I'll try to help you find a way."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Actually, all you need to do is wait patiently."

"wait?"

"I don't know what the Mage Tower said to you. But, I'm not asking you to come here to make you unemployed, am I?"

“…If that’s the case, then it’s true.”

Andre was stunned for a moment.

"Then think about it, why did I leave you here and no one else contact you?"

"This... should have been forgotten, right? After all, there are too many things to do in the Four Kingdoms."

Lu Yao shook his head: "I want you to come here to adapt to the city. If you can adapt, you can stay. When we really need you in the near future, those who can stay will be useful. If you can't adapt, you will probably have to return to the Abyss and resume your old business."

These words made Andre fall into thought.

Lu Yao stroked his beard and said, "Andre, I understand your difficulties. It is very painful and difficult to jump from a comfortable environment to an unfamiliar and competitive environment, but perseverance and trying will bring you rewards."

"In the Yao tribe's native land where mages have not yet appeared, you are the first mages. Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Andre, all you need to do is to quickly make up for the basics that Yao scholars must have, whether it's language, history, mathematics or technical theory."

"Then use your magical ability to do research at the academy or White Castle, or apply for a wizard tower, or even establish the discipline of wizards. There are opportunities for that."

"You only need to have the heart of an apprentice to do all this. Yan Jiu, the martial arts master of the Yao clan, was already eighty years old when he became a hero. You are still young, and everything is possible."

A gleam of light flashed in Andre's eyes.

"Is what you said... true?"

Lu Yao smiled but said nothing: "I have inside information, believe it or not."

Just now, Lu Yao checked it under the pretext of peeing.

The report made by Isabel was exactly what Lu Yao had just said.

The first batch of mages were sent to Yao City, which was an invisible test. If they could adapt and live there, they would receive strong support and resources.

If they can't even adapt to Yao City, which has the most relaxed environment, it will be even more difficult for Yancheng, Shuijing City and Wuda City, where the competition is particularly fierce.

This strategy was also the solution reached by the four countries after repeated consideration.

"Yes, I can go to seminary."

Andrei suddenly changed his mind: "As long as I graduate from the academy, I will be able to obtain official scholar qualifications and have the opportunity to stay in the academy. If I fail to pass the exam and get a free tuition, I will let Alyosha help me pay the tuition!"

Lu Yao thought that the boy was teachable.

From the abyss to Yaocheng, the most important thing is to have no burden and liberate your mind.

"Well, I'm leaving now. Good luck."

Lu Yao and Andre separated.

…

Lu Yao closed his eyes and felt the world map unfolding in his mind.

In this three-dimensional fragmented world, there are dense flames. Many people have the fire of faith belonging to Lu Yao, and many extraordinary creatures also have it.

[Golden Light Across the Earth] is a teleportation that uses the fire of faith as the coordinate.

Lu Yao chose a small flame in front of the gate of Qianyuan Mountain.

There was a distracted young man standing here, and he was startled by a bearded burly man who suddenly appeared next to him.

"When did you show up? Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Lu Yao looked around.

The real Qianyuan Mountain is much more majestic and vast than the pixel image in the simulator. All you can see is the walls of this magnificent mountain. The steep and rugged mountains extend to both sides, all the way to the depths of the distant sea of ​​clouds.

Behind him are the stone paths and mountains going up from bottom to top, making the floating island below look small and narrow.

The mountains reach into the sky and clouds emerge from the mountains, which indeed has a classical fairy-like style.

Only then did Lu Yao look to the side.

The young man couldn't help but take a step back: "What are you going to do?"

Lu Yao already knew that his image as a bearded man was intimidating. Perhaps this image was not popular among the good people of the Yao clan.

"Are you here to pay respect to the mountain?"

"It was me who asked you..."

The boy was about thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing adult clothes with a tight belt, but the cuffs and trouser legs still looked baggy.

Lu Yao asked him: "Did you climb up here by yourself?"

"No. My brother brought me up here."

"Where's your brother?"

"Dead."

"How did he die?"

"He fell to his death on the floating island."

Lu Yao thought it was a pity.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Although he knew the other party's name and situation at a glance, he still pretended to be an ordinary person and asked: "What's your name? Are you here to learn swordsmanship or Dharma?"

"No, no, I'm the one asking you. Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The boy asked back.

Lu Yao smiled slightly: "My name is Huang Jia, I came to Qianyuan Mountain to make friends through martial arts."

"Making friends through martial arts... You want to challenge the practitioners here?" The young man was shocked and quickly waved his hands, lowering his voice: "Are you crazy? There are hundreds of practitioners here, all of them are extraordinary masters... Don't dare to talk nonsense. You can lie to others, but don't lie to yourself."

“…”

Lu Yao's smile froze.

really.

It would be hard for a normal person to believe what he said.

"My name is Lie Xiaolu." The boy introduced himself: "I climbed Qianyuan Mountain with my brother because I wanted to become a swordsman and become famous!"

"You have ambition." Lu Yao praised.

"If it really doesn't work, at least I can have something to eat for a long time."

“…”

You were trying to make a name for yourself in the beginning, but now you're just trying to make a living.

Lie Xiaolu said: "Actually, my brother wanted to become famous, so I just wanted to follow him to make a living, but my brother died, so I have to eat first."

"Why are you standing outside instead of coming in?" Lu Yao asked.

"I am the gate boy of Jinguan Cave, and I am working here."

Lie Xiaolu came back to his senses: "It's to answer questions for people like you who come up here, otherwise the mountain master is too busy."

Lu Yao thought about it and decided to go in.

"Then I'll go first."

Lu Yao disappeared on the spot.

Lie Xiaolu rubbed his eyes. This man disappeared? He knows magic! ...

Lu Yao appeared in the valley behind the Golden Light Cave.

This is the internal area of ​​Qianyuan Mountain used to test various spells and props, and it is also a place for practitioners to learn from each other.

The sudden appearance of a stranger made the surrounding practitioners alert, and swords flew out of their bodies.

Lu Yao grinned and said, "Huang Jia, I came to ask for advice and exchange ideas."

He took a glance.

The level of the extraordinary people here has been greatly improved compared to the past, and they are generally above LV30. It can be seen that the effect of practicing in Qianyuan Mountain is remarkable.

A practitioner holding a sword came over first: "Who are you?"

"That's not important. Come, let's fight first."

The swordsman didn't waste any time and went forward with his sword.

Lu Yao took his sword blow and knocked him down with a punch - if Lu Yao had not shown mercy, this LV15 swordsman would have been killed on the spot.

The Yellow Turban warrior's body was completely unharmed, and even his sword was broken into pieces.

Everyone was shocked.

Lu Yao clenched his fist and said, "Come on together, let me test your practice."

He had wanted to say this for a long time.

The people from Qianyuan Mountain didn't waste any time and rushed up.

Lu Yao was fighting against a hundred people at once, punching the crowd hard, beating them in and out seven times, enjoying the thrill of hand-to-hand combat.

Soon, Taixi held the sword in the pool to summon flying swords, and Fahai joined the battle in the form of a giant Dharma image.

But in the face of overwhelming force, numbers cannot change the outcome.

No matter how many flying swords there were, they could not break through the defense. Huang Jia's built-in [Advanced Immunity] was frequently triggered. Fahai, in the form of a giant ape, was dragged by Lu Yao's tail and smashed around in the valley.

This is the charm of numerical monsters.

After beating up almost everyone present, Lu Yao felt refreshed.

The test of Yellow Turban Warrior has been completed, the operating experience is good, and it receives five-star praise.

"Keep up the good work, I'll come again next time."

After he finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot.

Just when everyone was confused and in chaos, the mountain master's voice came from the sky.

"Do you understand? There are many strong and capable people in the world, and you still need to practice diligently and not slack off or become complacent. This person who comes here is of noble status, and he is just testing your practice and giving you a kind reminder."

Taixi, Fahai and others worked harder from then on.

Whenever they felt like slacking off, they would think of the bearded guest.

The scene of the mysterious man who fought against a hundred people alone and played with the people of Qianyuan Mountain like toys was still vivid in my mind. That was the goal and limit that should be pursued by practitioners! How could we relax like this! ...

Lu Yao appeared in the abyss again.

This time, he came for a serious matter.

Break the remnant dreams of the old gods.

I don't know if Noland's [Identify Objects and Track Them] is useful.

"Lord God, it turns out that it is you who has come. I was wondering how power of this level could appear... The corpse can also be found, as long as it is still here." Noland said cautiously.

"Then let's get started."

Lu Yao said.
