Chapter 526: First Arrival at Lake Lienia

Walking out of the side door of the throne hall in Stonewell City along the passage, you will arrive at the edge of a cliff.

When Li You and his group walked out of the passage, it was unfortunately raining. Even though it was daytime, it was foggy and they couldn't see the scenery ahead clearly.

Even standing on the edge of the cliff, one could only vaguely see through the fog a low-lying area with lush vegetation ahead. Even someone like V, whose eyesight was comparable to that of a high-powered telescope, could only see what seemed to be a towering castle in the distance ahead.

However, the huge golden tree that reached into the sky seemed to be closer at this moment, and the light it shed was still bright.

Everyone stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out, but saw almost nothing. V complained as usual: "You just told us to pay attention, what exactly do you want to see?"

Li You took out his calibrated gold pocket watch and looked at it, then smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You will be able to see it soon."

As if in response to his words, the drizzle in the sky gradually stopped, the light of the golden tree became more dazzling, and the thick fog covering the area ahead quickly dissipated.

Then, a scene completely different from that of Nimgfu appeared before everyone.

The companions then discovered that the large low-lying area below the cliff that they had seen before was actually a shallow lake with almost no end in sight.

The lake is full of lush but not crowded trees, and there is a light mist floating on the lake surface, but it does not affect visibility. The vast lake is shining blue, shining under the light of the golden tree.

Looking at the three people whose expressions had obviously changed, Li You smiled and said, "Welcome to the new area, Lake Lienia."

Leaving his companions, who were still a little dazed, to enjoy the scenery on their own, Li You walked a little further along the edge of the cliff and found the blessed point on the cliff beside the lake, which had also been lit up.

This is not surprising. Li You simply touched the blessing, and after the interaction, he could be teleported to this place.

While he was touching the blessing, his companions also caught up.

"So this is Lienia, really amazing." V expressed his thoughts very sincerely, "So our goal is the castle in front? The magic academy?"

After the thick fog dissipated, the true appearance of the castle in the distance was revealed. It was a tall castle that rose abruptly from the lake, and its white exterior walls were extremely solemn.

Because Li You had briefly explained it in advance, they knew that it was not a city, but the magic academy they had heard of long ago, Rhea Lukalia.

"It's right there." Li You nodded slightly.

……

Not long ago, Rodlika introduced the rest of the round table hall to Li You and others.

In fact, there was nothing else to explain, as the Round Table Hall was so small. So she mainly explained her experiences during this period to everyone, and also introduced the identity of the old hybrid who worked as a blacksmith - his name was Xiu Gu, and he was the blacksmith of the Round Table Hall.

According to Roderica, after she came all the way to the Round Table Hall, she also met Lord Gideon of Wisdom. However, unlike how he treated Li You, Gideon could tell at a glance that she had no intention of fighting anymore, so his attitude towards her was relatively cold.

However, Roderica also remembered what the merchant Kale had said, and in order not to become a burden to the Round Table, she mustered up the courage to ask Gideon if he knew anything about the necromancer.

After learning that Roderica seemed to have a talent as a psychic, Gideon's attitude towards her became a little more serious, so he asked Enxia to bring her to the blacksmith Xiugu.

What happened next was similar to the plot of the game. Xugu had been taken care of by an old friend who was a spirit trainer. He saw at first sight that Roderica was indeed talented, so he accepted her and taught her how to train spirits.

By the time she spoke to the group, Roderica had become a trainee psychic and had settled down smoothly in the Round Table Hall.

After all, a faded person who has lost the will to fight is just a burden, but a faded person who can tune his spirit can provide help to other combatants. As Lord Baizhi, Gideon naturally understands this.

These were Roderica's experiences over the past few days, which were similar to what Li You had expected. After chatting with Roderica, Li You did not stay in the round table hall for too long, and teleported away after saying goodbye.

From beginning to end, he never once looked into the open door of the room next to Rodlika and Xiugu.

After the group left, a blonde woman wearing a black robe that could not hide her slender figure and extraordinary appearance came to the door of the room. She looked in the direction of the Great Blessing, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Li You, who left the Great Blessing, of course, didn't know about this. He first ran between several different teleportation points in Nimgefu, took some interesting and valuable things, and then teleported back to the Blessing where he defeated the Limb-joined Greg with his companions.

Then, the group set out from Stonewell City, passed through the castle, and arrived at Lienia of the Lake.

This area is generally referred to as the Lake District. In fact, it is larger than Nimgfu without the Weeping Peninsula, and of course has many valuable things.

But the magic academy Rhea Lukalia is just ahead, and further north is the Kalia Castle, which is the semi-abandoned castle of the Kalia royal family. It is also the hiding place of the Moon Princess Lani in the game. Li You has been following Kara's trail all the way here, so at this time, he is not in the mood to explore and pick up trash. The plan is to go to the academy first, and then to the castle.

The reason for going to the academy first is because there are most likely traces of Kara left there, and more importantly, although Li You had beaten up the half-wolf Blaze before and snatched the secret treasure of Noklong that Lani would never let go, he actually did not intend to become hostile to Lani.

After all, completing the storyline of Moon Princess Lani can unlock an ending in the game, and Li You thinks it is a relatively good ending.

So if necessary, he might choose to let Lani cast her law when he finally meets the Elden Ring... Of course, he himself has no intention of becoming king, all he has to do is choose the law.

After all, the main mission this time is to "open a new era for the border area."

Compared to the other endings in the game, Li You really thinks that Lani's ending is already relatively good.

However, this was just a preliminary idea. Regarding the final law, Li You had some other messy ideas in his mind, but they were not fully formed yet, only a vague concept. Maybe he would need a flash of inspiration someday to grasp the erratic idea.

In short, before there is a better choice, it is worth considering providing some help to Lani. Of course, the premise is that the conflict between Kara and them must be resolved first, otherwise it will be impossible.

In addition to the above two reasons, there is a third reason that prompted Li You to go to the Magic Academy in the first place, which is the new "function" that can be unlocked after defeating the final BOSS in the academy area.

Li You looked at the teardrop larvae lying quietly in the backpack and nodded slightly.

Based on the above three reasons, Li You did not stay in Nimgefudo any longer and rushed directly to Lienia.

The next target is the magic academy, Rhea Lukalia.

"…But before that, I'm afraid we still have to find the key first."

The companions were already ready to go, but Li You suddenly said this.

Three people: "?"

Facing their gazes, Li You spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me like that. The Magic Academy is blocked by a barrier. You must have the Academy's Pyroxene Key to enter... Otherwise, you have to look for loopholes in the barrier."

"And there's some bad news. Although I know the location of a lost key, I guess it's probably too late to go there now."

In the game, there is only one pyroxene key of the academy that is lost outside. Kara seems to have entered the magic academy. If it is not for Se Lian's help to open the back door, then it is possible that the only pyroxene key that can be found in the outside world has fallen into her hands.

"Then why do we need to go to magic school? Why not just skip it?" V complained.

"Don't worry, let's go check it out first. If we really can't get the key, then we can try to sneak across."

Li You was not panicking. Even if he didn't have the key, he still had a backup plan to enter the magic academy.

He identified the direction, then pointed to the road ahead that went down: "Let's go down the mountain first."

The way they came out was on the cliff at the southernmost tip of Lienia, so naturally they had to go down first before they could reach the lake area.

On the way down, there was another dilapidated church on the roadside. This time it was Aggie who expressed confusion: "Why are all the churches and ruins at this junction in such a dilapidated state?"

V had the same question: "Is it because of the 'Broken War' mentioned earlier?"

"That doesn't make sense that all churches are so neatly broken, does it?"

V didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he and Edge looked towards Li You's position, only to find that he had disappeared without a trace.

Two people: "?"

It was Youzi who pointed to the church next to them: "Li You just walked in."

As they were talking, the three heard a man's voice coming from inside:

"...Hello, stranger, could you please give me some runes?"
