Invincible by the Bonfire
My name is Lu Lu Wo, and I am [data deleted] years old.
I live in the villa area north of Bede City, I'm single, and currently the captain of the Skyrim Strategy Team. I diligently go in and out of the dungeon every day, creating strategies so that everyone can suffer less and earn some extra money on the side. Occasionally I leave the dungeon at midnight and often stay up all night in Lake Liurnia. I never get a full eight hours of sleep every day, leaving all the fatigue and stress for the next day. Even my medical checkup said I'm a bit abnormal.
I have no bad habits, I don't smoke, I occasionally wear a hood to relax a few times, and I never make things difficult for others. Everyone who knows me says I'm a rare and good person.
I only wish to live a peaceful life. I may care about winning or losing, but right now I will absolutely not do anything that would create enemies for myself. That is the key to my happy life.
But recently, my mother might have been targeted by some bad guys!
"Being invaded by the Dark Moon Blade can be considered my own karma. I should just avoid going to Irithyll for a while to avoid the storm, but..."
When people first saw Lu Lu Wo with tears glistening in her eyes, she slammed her fist against a nearby tree and yelled:
"How come there are still people who want me dead?! I don't remember ever having any dealings with dangerous guys!"
"Captain, we can't find out their identities."
Bei Er Tuo cut open the stomach of an Orcs, trying to find any identifying features on the crossbows they had swallowed. However, the Orcs' digestive abilities were too good; the crossbows were crushed into dust after being swallowed.
"Tsk." Lu Lu Wo gritted her teeth and had no choice but to ask the Farron Guard, if they had noticed anything unusual recently.
Rather than believing that she was being targeted by a mysterious enemy, she hoped that what she and her companions had encountered was just an "accidental attack."
On the Farron Guard' side, everyone except Da Er wore a sigh. Their sighs were subtle, like a massage being abruptly stopped at its most stimulating point.
The abbreviation is "not enough killing".
Lu Lu Wo watched as the Farron Guard gradually transformed into battle maniacs, and couldn't help but swallow hard. She had recently heard about the Farron Guard's exploits; these people would run wherever there was a rumor of demons. Their giant wolves were as mobile as griffins, which meant they were either killing demons or on their way to kill demons.
Currently, there is no news of demons in the entire area surrounding Bede City —no, in the province where Bede City is located. Even if there is, 99% of the time it's just rumors, and the remaining 1% are just unlucky souls who didn't check the almanac before going out and ran into the God of Death Reaper.
Under the siege of the Farron Guard, who had become demon killing machines, the demons also became cautious. Some demons were captured and tortured, and finally they were asked why they were causing trouble in the human kingdom. The demons had undergone a huge change. The former generals and even Legion commanders were changing. Those demons who wanted to take the opportunity to get promoted had to come to the human side and cause trouble. The bigger the trouble they caused, the faster they would be promoted.
Although the demons' invasion of humanity couldn't have been solely for this reason, at least humanity finally understood why the demons were like a stubborn leech that couldn't be shaken off.
Nowadays, the Farron Guard no longer need the Bede Family to promote them; their running figures are the best advertisement, attracting people to join them wherever they go. Their membership has expanded from simply victims of the Val City incident to victims of demon attacks.
After careful selection, the number of people who can serve as combat troops has already reached three digits. If we don't set high standards and recruit people indiscriminately, the number could easily reach four digits.
Today, the Farron Guard were supposed to continue training in the Zane Dungeon, but since it was a holiday, they decided to take a break and rescue Lu Lu Wo and the others.
"No, we haven't received any information about the demons for a long time, let alone the area around Bede City."
Da Er wiped the blade. He looked more mature than before and had become more talkative. His hair had also turned white like that of the Undead Legion. Could it be that Wolf's Blood has side effects?
When asked, it turned out he dyed it himself.
"So what exactly is going on? A passing Orcs bandit? An experiment of an evil alchemist? A new type of abomination created by a necromancer?"
Da Er shook his head, feeling that it didn't feel right at all. Moreover, when he was slashing the Black Shadow Man, he had a feeling of both pleasure and discomfort, as if he were slashing a demon, but upon closer inspection, he felt that the feel was not right, which made him very conflicted.
Aside from demons, nothing else excites him anymore. He dreams of fighting Doslai Bo again, and the Frog Head will do too.
"My suggestion is to tell Earl Ka Rong. He might be better informed than we are. Even if he doesn't know anything, he can still report it up the chain of command."
"That's definitely a safer approach." Lu Lu Wo agreed with Da Er's suggestion, but she was still unwilling. "But this makes me look like a coward, like I'm being bullied and don't dare to say a word. They were obviously after me, attacking without permission and then dying on their own. I can't swallow this!"
Da Er raised an eyebrow. "What do you plan to do? Take revenge? That might just provoke an even bigger counterattack from the enemy."
Lu Lu Wo had helped the Farron Guard before, so Da Er was now genuinely offering her advice.
If the enemy really counterattacks, his street dance and Wolf Leap might not be a disadvantage.
"Counterattack? Before I became an adventurer, I fought my way out of the most dangerous gangster city in the country. There are plenty of people who want me dead, and now I'm the only one alive." Lu Lu Wo smoothed her hair and said, "If the enemy is really so powerful that I can't put up any resistance, then I can just hide in the Zane Dungeon and live in Lake Liurnia for the rest of my life!"
She subconsciously regarded the Zane Dungeon as her last resort.
"Bei Er Tuo, pick a few corpses in good condition, we're going to film them!"
A once-in-a-century Meteor Shower finally streaked across the sky, a spectacular display of vibrant colors, making the trip worthwhile for those who came to see it. It's said that this Meteor Shower will last for seven days, disappearing during the day and reappearing at night each day.
The astronomical phenomena in the magical world are amazing, aren't they?
The rest of the Skyrim Strategy Team, together with the Farron Guard, rebuilt the camp and held a lively celebration after their victory.
Lu Lu Wo and Bei Er Tuo filmed decapitation videos using Orcs corpses, but they were actually beheading people.
The next morning, the residents of Bede City, having witnessed the dazzling world of the Leyndell, gradually returned. Some were pleasantly surprised to find that Skyrim Strategy Team had released new videos, and they were incredibly cheap, costing only the price of a loaf of bread. However, the videos were marked with a warning: those who are afraid of gore should watch with caution.
It's okay, at such a cheap price, it doesn't matter if the work is shoddy.
Then the buyer discovered that Lu Lu Wo was indeed doing shoddy work, shoddy work with corpses.
Some people with weak psychological resilience vomited after watching the video. Lu Lu Wo made an insulting and blasphemous act towards the Orcs corpses in the video. If this had happened hundreds of years ago when the church was powerful, she would have been arrested and burned as firewood by the church just for this video.
Of course, Lu Lu Wo wouldn't release cheap and gory videos to torture people's minds for no reason; she stated her purpose at the beginning of the video.
This is a demonstration, or you could say a provocation. It's Skyrim Strategy Team's way of mocking the Black Hand behind their attack, showing that they're not afraid of the other side and are ready to use whatever tricks they have up their sleeve!
"Hey, don't you guys think the Skyrim Strategy Team's actions are a bit like children arguing?"
"It feels a bit, uh, lacking in spirit? But if I were their enemy, I would be very angry to see this footage."
"Indeed, Lu Lu Wo's smug expression is really annoying."
This is how the onlookers commented.
Regardless of what people say, after the video was released, Lu Lu Wo led all the members to Lake Liurnia and specifically booked a large house by the campfire in the Academy Gate Town to stay in.
Ah, the warm campfire, only here does she feel safe, even if she dies, she can be resurrected by the campfire, praise to the Zane Dungeon.
If Thane were to open a church with himself as God, Lu Lu Wo swore she would be one of Thane's first fanatics.
Ordinary people wouldn't do what she did—abusing corpses to provoke enemies—because it feels a bit low, and the consequences are unknown.
But Lu Lu Wo is no ordinary person. Her principle has always been to be kind to others. If she can't be kind, she will do everything she can to disgust them. Torturing corpses and provoking them when she can't find out the enemy's identity is the best she can do.
As for what the enemy thinks? If the enemy is the type who doesn't treat their subordinates like human beings, they'll probably just laugh it off. If the enemy values their subordinates, that would be great; Lu Lu Wo's disgusting goal would be achieved.
"In short, I'll be living in Lake Liurnia from now on." Looking at the beautiful lake region, Lu Lu Wo her hands on her hips, feeling invincible.
As it turns out, Lu Lu Wo's move really disgusted the person who attacked her.
Although Iliphis wasn't the type to value his companions, he was very concerned about his image, even though no one knew that Lu Lu Wo's video was mocking him.
"Lu Lu Wo"
Iliphis clenched his fists, wanting to rush into the Zane Dungeon and kill the other party after watching the video.
But there's no way around it. Once the other person dies, they'll resurrect at the campfire, and it's unknown how many times they'll resurrect before they can kill them and get them to the Resurrection Room outside the dungeon. There are too many variables in this process, and if their identity is exposed, what will happen is something I can't accept.
"That damned campfire, that damned Zane Dungeon."
There's nothing we can do; the rules for reviving at the campfire are the rules, and they weren't set today.
By making good use of the rules, you can annoy your opponents even outside of battle.
Throughout the entire day, the mercenaries of the Light Eagle Legion could hear the sound of things being smashed coming from Iliphis's room.
Of course, Elsa didn't hear it, because she rushed over to comfort the Skyrim Strategy Team the moment she learned of their attack, faster than anyone else.
After learning that his cabbage had run away again, the sound of things being smashed in Iliphis's house stopped, and was replaced by small explosions caused by unstable magic.
Clearly, the plan to use the deaths of the Skyrim Strategy Team to trigger Elsa's negative emotions had failed, and there was no second opportunity in the short term. However, he did not want to artificially accelerate Elsa's development, as that would be too wasteful.
So, is there anyone else whose death could trigger Elsa's negative emotions?
Soon after, Iliphis summoned Sally and gave her the following instructions:
"We've been preparing for so long, we'll enter Irithyll tomorrow."
