Chapter 17 Lani and Selian

The most proud and happiest thing in life is time to sip milk tea and eat skewers.

That's right, for a child like Lear who has to think about drinking a cup of milk tea or eating fried chicken for a long time, being able to eat a meal of barbecue is indeed an unimaginable luxury.

The taste of kebabs is more amazing than marinated meat slices.

It's not that he can't enjoy it, but how to continue to live after enjoying it is a difficult problem for Lear.

Lear had girlfriends before, more than one, but he was always the one who got kicked.

The reason is that he is a bit precocious.

When it was time to give romance to his other half, he chose to refuse, and at an age when he didn't need to worry about money, he began to plan carefully.

No girl would like such a boy, even if they are not people who hate the poor and love the rich, and love vanity, how can there be a girl who does not want the little surprises and little touches in life?
But Lear never gave it to them.

Therefore, when we broke up, Lear never complained, and even offered his blessings to the girls who were with us, very sincere blessings, on the day of graduation, he was invited by a certain girl to participate in her engagement banquet, That day, he didn't think about taking care of himself at all. He handed over the stage of the whole world to the girl and her partner. He went there in a normal way, and then returned in a normal way, offering his sincere blessings.

Lear will not change anything for the girl he likes, and he never expects the girl who likes him to change anything for him, because one day, young people who pursue romance and ideals will become like him.

Regardless of men and women.

Lear firmly believed in this.

Including now, the same is true for Lear. Even if he knows that he is going to meet Lani, he still pretends to eat meat without knowing it. When he is thirsty, he will take a bite of the crunchy, sweet and juicy Roa fruit, showing his truest state. out.

He didn't believe that Rani would like himself like this.

Reality is not a game, and Lani is not Melina—Melina's mission is inseparable from Lear, whom Torret recognizes as Lord. From the moment Torret recognized Lear as master, the fate between them is determined entangled together.

Lani is different. Lear has watched this plot about Lani on various video sites countless times, and he knew from the very beginning what Lani wanted.

Escape from the control of two fingers, pursue the cold, lonely and endless dark law among the stars, and finally escape from the junction, escape from this place that made her extremely sad.

She can go on her own, there is no need to bring the fader.

Unless, she likes him.

Lear sees it very clearly, maybe he can't help but want to do things for this beautiful girl, but he no longer expects that this will be Lani who fell in love with the fader in the game.

Now, Lear is looking forward to the scene where Lani says her name is Reina.

This means that Lani will not recognize him, it is only because of Torret's recognition that he will pay more attention to him. She is unwilling to reveal her real name, which has clearly expressed her attitude.

The delicious kebabs were roasted very quickly, and Lear didn't care at all, but Curie was just busy with work, and I didn't see him eating them.

"Why don't you eat it, I invite you, don't be too polite ah, it's so delicious!"

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, you eat what you eat."

"You man, you told me that you like to eat meat before, why don't you give me face!"

"Oh, I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry"

Callie swallowed.

The movement of swallowing saliva was not large, but he was relatively thin, which caught Lear's attention.

So, when Kalie had roasted two skewers and handed them over, Lear handed one of them to Kalie.

"eat!"

"I"

"Okay, stop pretending, eat quickly, well, I'll go far away."

"You, you know"

Curie just said a few words subconsciously, and then stopped talking, and silently roasted the rest of the meat.

Lear, who was carrying two skewers of meat, stood up and walked to the other side of Airey Church.

At this time, the light of the golden tree gradually weakened, and the border ushered in the night.

Lear was licking the skewers, chewing the meat, enjoying the deliciousness of the meat, while looking around, waiting for the protagonist of the junction to appear here.

On one side of the church, clouds and mist suddenly rose, lingering and lingering, a half-circle crescent moon hung in the sky, and a girl with a moonlight-like whiteness appeared on the ruins of the church.

The most eye-catching thing is her hat, followed by the four little hands neatly placed on her slightly fluttering mage dress. Under the decoration of the Snow Witch suit, the blue pretty face and four hands , making her look very charming.

Well, sitting at a place just a little higher than standing up, and the mage's long skirt is slightly shaking, she won't be swinging her legs, right?

hehe~
Lani, who noticed Lear's gaze, stopped swinging her legs. The puppet-like girl raised her head slightly, and just when she was about to say something, she heard the guy in front of her speak rudely.
"Have a bunch? Old fragrance!"

Lear brought two skewers of meat, hot and delicious, just for this moment.

"Thanks, I don't need it."

Lani said the first thing she said when she saw Lear, um, it was rejection.

"Ah? Can't you eat it? Then I'll help you eat it!"

Lear bit off two pieces of meat, and Lani just watched him eat without saying a word.

This made Lear a little ashamed.

This is the first time I feel being stared at by a big beautiful woman while eating.

"What do you have to do with me?"

In order to eliminate such embarrassment, Lear decided to speak first.

Some communication skills learned from Lao Feng taught him how to deal with such occasions.

"I can wait for you to finish eating."

The blue Snow Witch seems to be in a good mood. She speaks in a very formal tone, but her tone is a bit gentle.

Lear stopped talking, finished eating the meat skewers in three mouthfuls, and wiped his mouth clean.

"It's our first time to meet you, fader. I'm Lena the Witch. I heard that there is a fader riding a spirit horse. It took me a while to find it. It seems that it should be you, Kale's friend. That name is Tuo Leiter's spirit horse, you can summon it, right?"

"Yes, I can summon it."

Lear answered honestly, because he was also relieved when he heard Lani calling herself Lena.

But he still couldn't help looking Rani up and down.

"Well, I have something to hand over to you, it was entrusted to me by Torret's former owner."

Lani took out a small bell-shaped thing from her clothes with her right hand. This bell seemed to exist in another dimension. It was very light when held in the hand, unlike a real bell. It was covered with mist around it.

Along with this little bell were the ashes that were attached to the bell. When Lear reached out to take it, the scene of the three wild wolves recovering appeared in his mind.

Well, yes, this is the ashes of a very useful early game, "Stranger Wolf".

"That item is called the Soul Calling Bell. It can summon souls from the ashes that have not returned to the golden tree. Those souls will temporarily recognize you as master and reproduce the appearance of fighting in life. Well, use it as you want Bar."

This is a very useful item. Although you can buy it in the subsequent round table hall without meeting Lani, it is better to get it for free than to buy it with money.

"Thank you."

Lear responded, and gave a slight bow.

"Fadeers, I'm sorry to bother you. I don't think we'll see each other again. Let's savor the taste of the junction carefully. I'm looking forward to it——When will you faders obey your two fingers?"

After saying this, she turned into a blue light spot and disappeared into the crescent moon.

She really deserves to be Lani, she is beautiful when she is dressed up, and she is also beautiful when she leaves.

"Alas" Lear sighed, his eyes moved back from chasing after the blue light spots dissipated.

Lear has reason to suspect that her last sentence "taste" is a pun.

Who doesn't love a beautiful girl with four tiny arms, so what if she's a doll?Cuteness is common, and the appreciation of cuteness is also common.

When he returned to Kalie, he saw that the old Kalie had neatly stacked the grilled and fragrant meat skewers, put them on a wooden board, and handed them to Lear.

"You are this?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't inform you of the existence of that person at the first time." Kalie bent slightly, and said, "But I think you should understand my state of mind, I always want to live, isn't that person I can't be hostile, sir, you are not, I can only stand aside as a spectator, neither owes nor helps each other."

"It's okay, it would be great if you could give me a discount when I buy something from you to eat skewers in the future!"

Lier took the wooden board, sat down with Kalie, and continued to eat with him.

The fresh and tender bear meat presents an attractive color in Ka Lie's skilled barbecue skills. It is also because of the excellent quality of the meat itself. It is roasted tender and juicy. With the help of spices, the taste is really wonderful , Lear couldn't help but ate a lot.

Ever since, Lear immediately sensed that something was wrong.

It seems that the meat is a bit tonic.
After eating only three strings, Ka Lie stopped moving, but picked up the instrument in his hand, which was very similar to the erhu.

The bleak sound of the piano played the cheerful music score, and it seemed a little intoxicated in this Airey church.

Ka Lie is really not a very good meal buddy, after making so many skewers, this guy was full after three skewers, and Lear couldn't finish the rest by himself.

So, Lear looked at the crescent moon in the distance, and summoned Toret.

"Honey, let's go together!"

"Dabaa~"

This sound made Lear think that the cute little horn on Toret's head was not a bull's horn, but a goat's horn.

Of course, that's just what I said. From the point of view of the people in the junction, the goat's horn is a symbol of the devil, while the ox's horn is a symbol of auspiciousness.

Therefore, Lingma Torret should also be called the auspicious beast.

Three times, five divisions, two, Lear and Torret consumed the rest of the barbecue.

Torret might really have turned into a cute big cat. After eating the meat, he lay on his side, put his head on Lear's lap, and rubbed it lovingly.

Accompanied by the background sound played by Ka Lie, under the quiet moonlight, this may be the most reassuring life for Lear.

Long nights, unintentional sleep.

After eating and drinking well, Lear rode on Toret after resting for a while, and galloped towards the south of Ningmgfu one by one.

Lear's destination was the basement of the Ruins of the Station Street.

If there is anyone in this world that Lear can remember more, it is Teacher Selian.

Although Serlian has been wearing a big mask from the beginning to the end, she can't see her true face clearly, but she is a master after all. She not only teaches magic to faders, but also finds a home for faders in the junction.

At the end of Selian's branch line, when the long sword representing the pious allegiance of the "Real Lucaria" Academy of Magic was delivered from Selian's hand to the faded man, the faded man had not yet become Alvin. King of Alden.

Serlian's branch line is one of the few branches that Lear completed in the first week. The main reason is that the spell "magic shield" is very effective in the use of the middle shield. War Gray Lear chooses to block, and Facing the unblockable moves of the boss, Lear relied on the magic shield to block them.

It wasn't until later that Lear discovered the "Iron Wall Shield" as a battle ash at a very late stage, so from that moment on he carried an extra heavy shield in his bag.
These are all irrelevant words. After crossing the Mengliu Bridge, Lear rode Torret all the way south. The troll convoy he saw before was gone, and Lear ran to the post station street ruins smoothly.

The post station street was on a hillside and collapsed due to unknown reasons. It is said that the post station street was once used as a transfer station for the Golden Tree royal army's southern expedition. The land has also entered a rare period of peace, and there is almost no war in the world, so the post station street was quickly abandoned, until after the Fragmentation War broke out, the Stonewell army led by Greck was defeated, and the post station street was completely deserted and useless.

Now, this place is occupied by a group of vines. According to the surrounding civilians, the basement of this inn street once held soldiers who defected in the royal city Rodel.

Lear knew who was locked in the basement, pumpkin-headed soldiers who went mad, the product of blood plots.

And these vines seem to have mutated by absorbing the strange power contained in the blood.

Of course, the rancid smell here has also attracted many scavenging wild dogs.

Outside the post station street, Lear got off his horse, let Toret return to the spirit world, and then slapped one with his shield. In seconds, two corrupt wild dogs barking at Lear with eyes closed turned around a ruined building. , I saw that huge vine flower.

Suddenly there are white light spots like stars flying upwards on the ground, and a large number of light spots take off upwards. The scene is extremely beautiful.

The stars fell, hitting the ground where Lear was like a meteor, like a meteor, and the damage was not low.

This is the unique move of Vine Flower, "Spore Meteor", which summons a large number of spores to climb up from the ground, and then fall down, causing poison-type physical damage.

It was indeed physical damage, and Lear felt nothing when he put the shield on top of his head.

He approached the vine man flower and observed this huge plant up close.

Because it can't move, it can only turn its body through some tiny vine-like rhizomes.

The vine-like rhizomes are the source of the name of the vines. That does not mean that these flowers can summon the vines, but their appearance is very similar to the flowers that bloom on the vines. (Note 1)

There are many small vines around it.

In fact, Lear quite likes this kind of vine flower. The vine flower that can "spore meteor" is different from the vine flower that is mutated by pyroxene magic near the Magic Academy. These green life will always appear at the very end. In the disgusting land, they will absorb the nutrients in the land, then conserve the water and soil, and transform the environment. They are aliens in the border land.

Of course, they also belong to the kind of plants that can absorb nutrients regardless of whether they are enemies or friends.

No, under the leadership of the big vine manhua, all the vine manhuas opened their petals and released a terrible mist of toxins.

This is their last resort.

Lear just observed them for a moment before avoiding the poisonous fog.

The poisonous fog progress bar is full and hurts, and it will continue to lose blood.

There is no need for Lear to touch them.

They will drop a kind of food called "immune meat slices". It is said that the meat slices are actually the substance after the skin of the vine manhua has been removed, but the texture of the food is no different from that of meat. It is said to be a delicious food. The ingredients are fresh, juicy, crispy, sweet and delicious. After eating, they can add a strong anti-drug effect in a short time.

But if he thought about what kind of land they grew from, Lear probably would have a hard time talking about it.

Bypassing them, Lear found the entrance to the basement.

Lear walked down the stairs along the passageway made of stones on both sides.

Sure enough, among the messy plant roots in the basement, Lear saw the crazy pumpkin-headed soldier in his memory.

With a shield in one hand and a large saber in the other, the pumpkin-headed soldier is not Lear's single-handed enemy.

This soldier is not the same as the soldier in Hyde Fortress. He is bigger and stronger than the one he met before, and when he died, he turned into fly ash directly, leaving no corpse similar to the corpse explosion , even his weapons and equipment turned into fly ash.

It seems that he should be a pumpkin-headed soldier from a long time ago. The power of the blood secret technique from Menggewen has not left much on him, and the equipment on his body is more like a phantom.

Is it Sirian's handwriting?

There is indeed a great possibility.

After defeating him, a blessing point was revealed, and the teleportation point was unlocked after touching it, but a picture with no guidance still appeared.

The big iron gate was full of rust, and it was a falling gate. Lear grabbed the gap at the bottom, exerted all his energy, and finally lifted the iron gate up. Then, in the halo of pyroxene, a man in a strange costume , bare feet, a woman wearing a mask of a certain female statue appeared in front of Lear.

This is a small room. It seems that no one has been in the room for a long time. Broken pyroxene crystals are all over the floor, covered with a lot of dust. The collection of books and bookcases in the room are also the same. cobweb.

What also surprised Lear was that this room seemed to be in two dimensions from the outside world. The air outside was very rancid, but inside the room it was a bit fresh.

After all, it is the place where Mr. Se Lian, who is a little cleanliness, stayed. The magic of fresh air is always available.

The woman in front of her has a memory stone hanging on her chest and is wearing the school uniform of the Magic Academy. She has a graceful figure and her body is looming. She maintains the same posture, with her chin resting on her left hand and her right hand around her chest. Contemplative, like a dead thing.

Lear, who has experience in games, knows that the woman in front of him is the phantom of Teacher Seren, and her real body is actually locked in a ruined basement on the Weeping Peninsula in the south.

It wasn't until Lear opened the door that the magic-blessed small room slowly woke up from a deep sleep, and the consciousness left by Selian also slowly recovered with Lear's arrival.

"Oh, Faded One, it's rare to have such a rare guest."

Teacher Serlian's voice is as pleasant as ever, gentle and charming. Among all the mature women Lear has ever seen, her voice should be the most alluring.

How should I put it, she really deserves to be a magic teacher who was misunderstood as a witch. This is a more "devil" existence than Lani. It is estimated that the reason why she is called a witch is not only because of her understanding of magic. The exploration route is very scary.

Lear has always felt that the exploration direction of devouring other magicians and turning them into stars among the stars is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"My name is Selian. As you can see, I'm a magician, so what's your business?"

Following the normal plot flow, Lear said bluntly: "I want to learn magic."

"You want to learn magic? Oh, to be honest, I don't think you can learn pyroxene magic well. After all, learning magic is not only based on aptitude, but also requires hard work. Of course, the object of apprenticeship must also be carefully selected—— I was expelled from Rhea Lucaria Academy, because everyone avoided me, the so-called heretic witch, even so, do you still insist on being a teacher?"

"Of course, I still want to worship you as my teacher."

Lear replied without hesitation.

"Didn't you hear clearly? I am a witch that everyone despises."

"I think there is a reason why you are called a witch!"

Lear spoke seriously.

"Actually, I think the study of magic is endless. Even if there are some uncertainties in the process of exploration, and there may even be things that violate morality and common sense, we should all abandon the worldly concepts, as long as we I firmly believe that this road can benefit the people and the public, so as long as we persist, we will surely reach the end of our imagination!"

"Do you have such an understanding of magic in your heart? Well, well, I am willing to accept you as an apprentice and teach you pyroxene magic, but I am very strict and will not follow the way of gentle teaching. When the time comes, don't you Sorry~"

The ending sound of this sentence made Lear feel like he was being targeted by a rich woman. After touching his nose, Lear felt that it should be impossible.

"Yeah, I'm sure I won't regret it! But teacher, I want the teaching between us to start a little later, is that okay?"

"Of course, what are you going to do?"

"Hey, do you want a companion to accompany you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Teacher, wait here for a while, I, Lear, will come back as soon as I go!"

After finishing speaking, Lear ran out excitedly.

Se Lian stared blankly at Lear who suddenly ran away without a trace. She had a feeling that she seemed to have taken in an unreliable apprentice
What she didn't expect was that this feeling would come true so quickly.

Without much effort, she saw Lear walking into the basement carrying a woman in a palace costume who had passed out.

"Teacher!" Lear said happily to Se Lian, "You won't be lonely anymore!"

"you are"

"Hey, I saw the turmoil outside, and this girl was sitting on the side of the main road. No matter how she looked at it, she was not safe, so I knocked her out and invited her to come to your place. I think she must be very safe here. Lah, by the way, this girl seems to be born blind, why don't you show me what's going on?"

Pointing to the unconscious blind lady, Lear said heartlessly.

PS: Today, the two chapters have a total of 1 words, and the code is gone. I will make revisions tomorrow, thank you for your collection and recommendation tickets!Thank you everyone~
Note 1: The author set it up by himself. I didn't find the official name of this plant monster, so I just called them vine manhua.
