288. The tacit understanding between Lu Yu and Sierra
"He?"
Tanya's eyes widened, and after being stunned for a moment, she immediately took this sentence as a joke. She suppressed the surprise on her face, waiting for Sera across the table to laugh at herself or something else, but...
Sierra drank tea leisurely.
Tanya raised her head again and looked at Lu Yu carefully up and down over and over again. The iconic fake smile on the surface gradually solidified.
Tanya was angry: "If this is a joke, then it's not funny at all. Would Lulu fall in love with such a guy who has an ordinary appearance and average strength, and can't be found if he is thrown into a crowd? He
They look like low-grade radishes that the serfs in my territory pulled out of the ground and could only feed to the slaves. They were too small and shapeless. If they were left for a long time, the roots would become dense and wrinkled. They would taste bland and tasteless.
A mouthful of scum!"
This time it was Sera's turn to widen her eyes. She listened carefully to Tanya's strange metaphor, then turned her head and looked at Lu Yu who hadn't shaved for a long time because he was running around. He was exposed to the sun and rain.
Her skin color is getting darker and she looks a bit older...
radish…
"Pfft."
Sierra laughed, laughing extremely wildly, not caring about her own image at all.
"What a wonderful metaphor. Why didn't I realize you were so humorous before...Old Carrot, hahahaha, I underestimated you. I thought you didn't know how to distinguish crops. I didn't expect you to know so much about radishes."
Serra continued, "Although I don't like you very much, I agree with your comparison of Lu Yu... Hey, Lu Yu, didn't you say that in the language of your hometown, your name is homophonic to a certain fish...
"Perch, is that how you pronounce it? Why don't you call me Carrot from now on? This is the name given by Her Highness Tanya."
Lu Yu felt that his appearance was in no way comparable to that of a carrot. At first, only Lulu knew how to play Perch. After Lulu played more, Sigrid naturally learned it, and then came the Mist Demon, Xu Yu, and Sera.
, compared to the nickname Gluttonous, which is more in line with local characteristics, Bass is destined to be used only by those closest to Lu Yu.
Lu Yu was not even angry when he was ridiculed by such a wonderful metaphor, but Tanya, who was basically calm and calm during the conversation with Sera, had an angry look on her face.
"Isn't it funny, Serra God's Choice?" Tanya said coldly, "Lulu, a genius who pursues the highest point of magic, masters vast knowledge that countless people can't imagine in their lifetime, and has talents and magical ideas that ordinary people can't match.
She is the flower of the high mountains that is blooming on the top of the snow-capped mountains. How could such a person come together with such an ordinary and ordinary person!"
The tea cup shattered and the tea splashed everywhere, leaving dark brown marks on Tanya's beautiful silk dress.
The sudden movement made Chi Hong quickly come to Tanya. She checked Tanya's condition, and then glared at Sera.
The warm tea flowed down Sela's arms, wetting the dark dress. Sela seemed to be unaware of it and was just admiring the crushed teacup in her hand.
"Yes, if a genius like Lulu meets a guy like Lu Yu in the vast sea of people... nothing will happen. Even if the two of them talk and greet by chance, Lu Yu may only be able to
Looking at the retreating back of this high mountain flower, imagine the impossible beauty between you and her. There are many things in this world that can only be appreciated but never obtained. You spend your whole life and give everything for him, and in the end
You will only lose to time. Wrong time, wrong encounter, wrong person...and leave countless regrets."
Lu Yu found that both Tanya and Sera were very aggressive towards him. Which one suppressed him harder and had more powerful words, right?
"Lulu is indeed a blooming flower of the high mountains. Unfortunately, someone interfered with her growth and took advantage of her parents' death to control her, who was helpless and weak-minded, and changed her thinking little by little.
Way…"
Sera sneered: "Why is this? Why does Lulu regard dependence as love, attach a little bit to the person she trusts most, and can't help but want to dedicate all her most cherished things to the other person?"
Sera stood up, her red eyes shining with a captivating light.
Sera has always felt that if it weren't for Tanya, Lulu would not be so attached to the sense of security that Lu Yu gave her, so naturally she would be the one who can stay by Lulu's side.
She really wanted to smash the teacup on Tanya's face, but she had to be careful when breaking her face.
"You studied with the elites at Solon Royal Academy of Magic. You should have heard the professors say the word 'ecological niche' in the course of potion identification, right?" Sera said softly, "Now you have been influenced by Lu Yu and
I have been squeezed out of my ecological niche, and your trick is over."
Tanya already understood. She gritted her teeth and said: "You use a stronger emotion like love to bind Lulu and turn her into a love brain who will give everything for her lover... It's amazing. She deserves to be chosen by God. That's it.
The words were high-sounding and righteous, but the actions were completely different."
"I'm different from you. I really love..." A blush flashed across Sierra's face, and she changed her words nonchalantly, "I really hope she can be herself."
Lu Yu even felt cold sweat for Sera. All countries in Sera are relatively conservative, and homosexuality and bisexuality are heretics.
This is also caused by the times and environment. Population is of great significance to all countries in Mela. Although the lords torture the people at the bottom, most young and middle-aged slaves will allocate female slaves, in order to ensure a sufficient population.
"Women are a strategic resource." Who dared to say this in Lu Yu's world would have made him doubt his life every minute, but here, the royal family and the comfortable middle class all agree with this statement.
In order to ensure the population size, the books Lu Yu read during this period contained too much content that he could not bear to read in detail.
The forest elves north of Solon have always had many conflicts. If you go back further, you can see that they were quarreling over whether to sell female slaves of their own tribe to foreigners. The resulting turmoil between the old and new nobles directly tore the huge forest elves into pieces until today.
Still fighting endlessly.
Homosexuality and bisexuality are absolute red lines and a challenge to secular values. As the chosen one, Sera cannot express her love for Lulu and can only say it carelessly with prank-like jokes.
No one knew that she was telling the truth. Lulu was used to this kind of intimacy and jokes, and became increasingly desensitized.
Lu Yu was quite curious as to whether Sera was bisexual or homosexual, or whether she simply liked beautiful girls.
Tanya didn't believe Sera's truth. She said lightly: "Lulu came to see me, and I will offer her ashes with both hands."
Lu Yu smiled.
Tanya glanced at Lu Yu displeasedly: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I'm just thinking, if the Prince of Storms were here, what would he do?" Lu Yu pretended to think, "Is it better to get together when there is a high possibility that there will be no room for redemption after seeing me, and the last trace of goodwill of the other party will disappear?
Let’s break up, while she can still recall the nearly ten years we spent together, and continue this touch of warmth.”
A burning breath in her chest hit her throat, "You want to teach me how to do things" was about to blurt out, but Tanya recalled the scene when her brother Zenil met her after the Sharman poisonous fog incident.
Lulu has left her, but her clever mediation has won the praise of the people, nobles, and the court, and her reputation remains the same.
It was an afternoon, another interrogation in the trial court had ended, the Sharman poisonous fog incident had come to an end completely, she was clean and walking in the afterglow of the setting sun, and Zenil suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Tanya couldn't remember how long it had been since she had a private conversation with her brother, so when Zenil called out her name, she was unusually at a loss.
His strength has become so strong that he can ignore the attacks of all his father's descendants. The territory by the sea in the west of the Solon Empire is enviably prosperous. There is no doubt about Zenir's excellence.
She was alone without guards or followers, and the area around the Tribunal was always deserted. There were no other institutions of the empire near this too sacred venue, so Tanya knew clearly that Zenil came specifically for her and had been waiting for a long time.
"Out of the vortex, right?"
It's really like the tone of a brother talking to his sister, a little doting, a little stern and a little majestic, ready to teach at any time.
Tanya was about to nod, but Zenil suddenly said: "You are still as cute as when you were a child."
After saying that, he turned around and left, without starting or ending, and inexplicably.
It wasn't until the Sandman poisonous fog incident came to an end and Tanya finally had time to sort out everything that happened during this period that she realized what she had encountered. All the arrangements were designed to lead her to their guidance under high pressure from the outside world.
Options.
As cute as a child = as innocent as before.
Tanya, who was nakedly ridiculed but didn't realize it at all, overturned the table, but she quickly calmed down and deeply realized that Zenil's powerful combat power made many people ignore his intelligence.
"What will my brother choose..."
Tanya murmured in her heart, but in fact she already had the answer, but she still didn't want to hand it over readily, which would give her a sense of humiliation of surrendering to Sera and Lu Yu.
Sera glanced at Lu Yu, and then said slowly: "To the south of your territory are the Molten Mountains, where there are many good outputs. If you can bypass the greedy and incompetent lords on the border, in the future, maybe
We can help you solve some sales problems.”
This concession, which was natural and related to the people's livelihood and economy of her territory, made Tanya very satisfied, and she went down the steps smoothly.
"I hope we can still cooperate by then."
Sera naturally knew that Tanya was referring to Laurend's physical condition. The senior officials of the four major countries knew that Sera was Laurend's confidant. The Laurend era was over, and it was questionable how much voice she still had in the Theocracy.
But the steps are just to make everyone look good, and to comfort themselves and take advantage.
The ashes were taken out from the underground of the mansion by Chihong. Although Tanya did not do so well, she did a good job of preserving the ashes of Lulu's parents, even using a special crystal box to protect them.
"The matter has come to an end, Serra. Tell me the truth. Is this Lu Yu your tool to control Lulu?"
Sierra checked the sealing of the urn. Although she did not believe that Tanya would be so evil as to get fake ashes or secretly exchange ashes to disgust herself, she still asked just in case.
"You didn't do anything, I mean..."
Tanya was stunned for a few seconds, and the overwhelming anger rushed from the bottom of her heart to her forehead. Her face was flushed, and she briefly lost her ability to organize language. She only leaked the name "Sela" through her teeth.
"Judging from your reaction, I guess not."
Lu Yu felt that Sera could be more tactful. The two of them matched well just now and got the ashes peacefully. Now that they have all the ashes, why bother... The secret exchange of ashes is even more serious than spreading rumors about their ambiguous relationship. They are afraid of throwing it away.
It can smash the Heart of Green sign to pieces. No matter how disgusting Tanya wants to be, she won't do such a stupid thing...
But if you think about it carefully, you probably did this because of what happened to Lulu... Sera is really very vengeful...
Tanya, whose character was greatly insulted, was about to use some Solonian swear words regardless of her image, but Sera spoke up.
"To answer your question just now, Lu Yu is not my tool. I can't control him. You may not know what kind of person he is, so you would ask such a ridiculous question."
Tanya looked at Lu Yu suspiciously. Although she made people spread rumors, these rumors more or less catered to most people's thoughts.
If Lu Yu really wanted to say there was something special, the summoned object at Zenil's birthday dinner was rather strange, which somewhat subverted everyone's understanding and even shocked Master Du Juan.
But the summoned objects... are indeed not popular. This shining point is really lackluster. If the summoned objects were really taken back to the Theocracy because Sera looked at them favorably... is it reasonable?
Both of them took off their masks and spoke frankly, and Tanya didn't mind taking it a step further.
"After the matter is resolved, you won't avoid me and go around in circles when I'm around in the future, right?"
"After today, I will smile and toast you on any occasion. The Chosen God of Radiance is always courteous." Sera's face was filled with a smile.
As expected of someone who interacts with nobles and businessmen on a daily basis, these two people change their faces really quickly. It seems as if the tense and strange things just now were all phantoms, and the next second they can shake hands and hug each other.
With such ability, Lu Yu felt ashamed.
Tanya did not see him off, as everyone knew that the other party was a master of acting, and his superficial skills were dispensable.
Stupid Dragon took off and bathed in the night breeze. Lu Yu and Sera breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The last restraint that allowed them to stay in the four major kingdoms had been lifted. They didn't know what Lulu's expression would be when she saw him returning with his ashes.
.
Sera was imagining the scene of Lulu crying and throwing herself at her.
Lu Yu was thinking about whether he should comfort Lulu if she suddenly cried, or stand aside silently...
"Sierra."
"Well?"
Seeing Lu Yu's raised hand, Sera, who was deep in thought, smiled helplessly and stretched out her hand for a high-five.
“A pleasure to work with.”
The two of them had a particularly tacit understanding.
