Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 55: The Popular Li Yu
"This is where?"

Li Yu opened his eyes and saw an illusory white. In this unreal space, besides him, there was another figure with his back to him, dressed in ancient clothes. With Li Yu's not-so-qualified historical knowledge, he could only vaguely feel that the other person was not a minor official from the scarlet official uniform he was wearing.

"Are you awake? How do you feel?"

When the other person turned around, what caught my eye was a serious middle-aged man. His words of concern gave people a feeling of awe without even being angry.

"May I ask you are……"

"certain?"

The middle-aged man thought about it.

The name of someone is not important, you just need to know that someone is the same as you. "

The same kind of person?

Li Yu just thought about it and immediately understood what the other party meant. His eyes widened. This person who called himself "someone"
"you too……"

"good."

"Before dying, someone hid a trace of his consciousness in this body, and then began to reincarnate, until the lightning disaster victim reappeared in a human body and reawakened."

"Awakening? Reincarnation?"

Li Yu couldn't help but ask questions.
“Is this really possible?”

"Why not?"

The middle-aged man laughed.
"Magic is so magical, who can easily say it's impossible?"

"Then why did you appear in front of me this time?"

Li Yu's eyes were somewhat alert, there was nothing he could do, words like awakening and reincarnation really made him feel uneasy, if he was accidentally usurped, wouldn't that be a huge loss!

"Why?" The middle-aged man paused and gave Li Yu a strange answer.

"It's just to prevent you from getting beaten to death."

"If you have any questions, just ask your friend."

"And one more thing."

"Remember, after reaching the third advanced level, go to Thunder City. There is a gift, or a guarantee, left for you there."

"Hey! Senior..."

After just a few brief words, the middle-aged figure slowly disappeared from Li Yu's sight, no matter how the latter shouted.

"Please tell me where you put the gift!"

Li Yu shook his head. It was so abominable. Why did the old seniors always like to be riddlers?

Leicheng is not Bocheng, a small place with not many people. Leicheng is well-known throughout the country. It is not a big place, but it can be said to be a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The heritage left by our ancestors still benefits us today.

The extremely high awakening rate of lightning mages, relying on the output of various precious lightning resources and the developed tourism industry, has made the industry so wealthy that even the noble families are jealous, but no one dares to take a chance.

There is no other reason. Leicheng has always produced at least one super-class wizard in every generation. Coupled with a large group of violent thunder wizards, Leicheng is extremely powerful, far surpassing most of the aristocratic families.

Not only are they strong, they are also said to be quite united. Here, everyone is a vested interest, and no one allows their interests to be divided by the aristocratic families.

Li Yu didn't know how this strange senior would arrange it, but since it was a gift, it shouldn't be something common. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for an outsider like him to dig up local treasures?
When Li Yu reluctantly opened his eyes, he vaguely heard a voice beside his ear.
"woke up?"

"Boss Zhankong?"

Li Yu sat up and found himself lying on the hospital bed. The surrounding environment was peaceful and tranquil.

"How long have I been unconscious? Has the demon crisis been resolved?"

"It was resolved long ago, on the day you fell into a coma."

Zhankong smiled.
"You were in a coma for a week. I have to say you were really lucky. You were hit so hard and fell from such a high place. You almost died during the treatment!"

"The healing wizard said that your injuries will take at least a year or two to heal."

"I didn't expect you to wake up so soon."

"Although it will take some time to fully recover, it is estimated to be much faster than originally expected."

"Your body is so strong..."

Zhan Kong lifted Li Yu's arm and squeezed it casually, admiring it.
"You can't tell from your appearance, but you're actually almost as good as a demon. It's worth the six months of suffering you've endured."

"That senior?"

Li Yu asked, "Boss Zhankong, do you know him?"

"I can probably guess it." "Who?"

What made Li Yu a little angry was that Zhan Kong actually kept him in suspense. After laughing,

"Boss, I think you should discover the truth of this matter yourself."

"However, for you, having such a golden body to protect you is a good thing!"

Speaking of which, Zhan Kong is a little envious. He has an old grandfather with him, who takes over the account to play after people are on the verge of death or lose consciousness due to external force. He can kill the leader of the demons with one move just by relying on his control over elements. He is so powerful that it can be called a golden medal of immunity from death in the early stage!

If my guess is correct, the reason why Li Yu's thunder system is more stable than other victims is probably related to the consciousness of this senior.

"Boss Zhankong, aren't you worried?"

"Worried? What are you worried about? You don't really think that you can be reborn in another body, do you?"

Zhankong disagreed.

"If it were so easy to be reborn through a body, why would the emperors of ancient times have gone to so much trouble to pursue immortality?"

"If I'm not mistaken, that senior should have used psychic magic and special magic tools to reincarnate the soul fragments."

"And even so, this kind of reincarnation is quite unstable. It can only passively take over your body when you lose consciousness."

"As your strength increases and your spiritual level improves, your appearances will probably become less and less frequent in the future."

"all in all."

Zhankong's tone was filled with deep admiration for the predecessor who had spanned a thousand years.
"He is a respectable senior."

He protected peace in the area while alive, and ensured the safety of his successors after his death.

"By the way, now that you're awake, there's something you need to pay attention to."

"what's up?"

"We need to talk to our superiors."

Zhan Kong's tone was full of helplessness and impatience.

"Bullshit? What are you talking about?"

"What else could it be? It's just the resettlement of the survivors in Bo City."

"Damn it! The higher-ups are planning to split up the survivors in Bo City and relocate them to other cities."

Migrate? Although Zhan Kong knew that his superiors had done their utmost, a small town that was almost completely destroyed, had lost its unique Earth Holy Spring resources, and was always facing the risk of being attacked again by demons.

For the superiors who are focusing on the overall situation of the entire region, the most likely positioning of Bo City is to become a small fortress in the Nanling region to defend against demons. It is unlikely to become the poetic and picturesque southern town it once was.

For the future safety and development of the people of Bo, the safest option is to settle in other cities under the organization of the government.

But understanding is one thing, but rooting to one's homeland is a culture deeply rooted in the blood of every Chinese. Unless one is at the end of one's rope, who would be willing to leave their homeland and live a dependent life?
Therefore, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, Bo City must make a final effort.

"Resettlement issue...do you need me to go?" Li Yu didn't think he could have any influence on the formulation of policies involving an entire city.

"Why not?"

Zhan Kong raised his eyes, glanced down at Li Yu, and said with a smile:

"Boy, your reputation is much better now than it used to be."

"prestige?"

"Of course! During the crisis in Bo City this time, you killed more than two dozen general-level demons, not to mention the many magicians and civilians you saved, directly and indirectly saving Bo City from a large amount of losses and sacrifices."

"Finally, you and I fought against the Winged Wolf together and killed that beast, allowing us to defeat the demon army with our own strength before those short-legged Judgement came to our aid."

"All these things..."

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

"I'm telling you this. A few days ago, when you were unconscious, Deng Kai told me that as long as you were willing to take up a position in the Hunter Alliance, he would directly report the position of the boss of the Bo City branch to you."

"At worst, I can guarantee you a position as an elder."

"And Yang Zuohe, that guy, was also offered a position of real power."

"Due to the special nature of the trial, the scrutiny will be stricter, but we will also pay close attention to you."

"You are very popular now."

"How's it going? It feels good, right?"
