The career of an evil alchemist started when he picked up the Mad Sword Girl

As usual, she planned to go straight to bed.

But this time, Lu Lin called out to her.

"Numi?"

Lu Lin's voice wasn't too loud. After all, this was probably the first time he took the initiative to talk to someone, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

But when Li Mi heard this voice, she seemed to be frightened, and her whole body trembled.

At that moment, Lu Lin noticed that her eyes were looking at him.

The eyes are not the unfocused nothingness, but the ordinary, ordinary gaze.

However, all this only lasted for a moment, and she returned to her normal self.

However, she didn't stand up in a hurry anymore. Instead, she sat where she was, facing Lu Lin calmly.

"Well, we can indeed communicate..."

Lu Lin thought to himself, swallowed, took a breath, and then said, "Well, can we talk?"

After saying such a short sentence, Lu Lin felt that his breathing was shaking, and he looked at Li Mi eagerly, not knowing what he was nervous about.

The answer came faster than expected, but also more ruthless than expected.

"Do not."

Only one word.

There was no ups and downs in his tone, no emotion, he simply gave the answer.

Lu Lin suddenly choked.

A bunch of words that I had been thinking about were also held in my stomach, and I couldn't come up with a syllable for a long time.

After all, no matter how good your words are, you have to at least be able to say them out loud first. Now that I don’t even want to talk about it, what else can he say?

Just when Lu Lin didn't know what to do, Li Mi said again.

"But, I can help..."

Lu Lin was stunned.

Can’t chat, but can help?

What do you mean?

Simply don’t want to talk?

Is it true that as Lu Lin had guessed before, this girl would feel uncomfortable talking?

Ok……

Could it be said that he suffered a similar curse?

Speaking of which, the formulas Lu Lin mastered seemed to contain curses with similar effects, but they were all elementary formulas and would definitely be useless against the girl with monster-like strength in front of her.

If Tanuki became like this because of a curse, then the curse must be something of a high level or above.

Obviously, even if Lu Lin guessed correctly, it is not something Lu Lin can deal with now, nor is it what he should think about now.

"Well, I do need your help with something," Lu Lin said in a tentative tone, "Can you stay with me to protect me?"

As soon as the words came out, Lu Lin always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it, I realized, isn't this what the weak heroine or some other princess said to the hero hero in the story?

Why is it the other way around here?

Just when Lu Lin's thoughts were racing, Li Mi gave the answer.

Just like before, it came much faster and more decisively than expected.

"it is good."

Still only one word.

Just this word, it sounds like a completely different feeling.

Lu Lin suddenly felt reassured and said excitedly: "Okay! I'll trouble you then!"

"Well, when the time comes, wake me up..."

Rumi said, got up and went back to the room. He knew it without looking and went to sleep again.

As for Lu Lin.

Feeling relieved, Lu Lin let out a long breath, and his face that had been frowning all night finally showed a relaxed smile.

Scooping a full bowl of rice for himself, Lu Lin happily enjoyed his breakfast, which was comparable to a dinner. The two flavors of hunger and good mood made this simple stewed rice into a rare delicious food, which made Lu Lin happy. Lin didn't stop until he was full.

After the meal, Lu Lin exercised a little and then returned to the house.

In order to be promoted to an intermediate alchemist as soon as possible, he also had to start working hard to make money.

Within today, he should be able to make a batch of samples of primary fire and dust explosives.

Whether you can make money and get rich next depends entirely on this thing.

Chapter 22 Making money is like moving bricks, and spending money is like running water.

Two days later, early in the morning.

Lu Lin looked at the gradually brightening sky and let out a sigh of relief.

He woke up around three in the morning today. As long as he goes to bed a little later in the evening, the jet lag should be back.

A trial batch of primary fire dust explosives has been produced, the quantity is not large, and they are all placed in Lu Lin's backpack at the moment.

But let’s face it, this thing is really heavy.

Lu Lin collects herbs all year round. Although the baskets filled with herbs and mushrooms are very heavy, they are really incomparable to this pile of solid solid explosives.

Before, he naively thought that he could transport goods by himself, but now it seems that he may need to buy an ox cart of his own.

If the business is settled, you should be able to go see if there is anything suitable.

Although a cow is actually not cheap, and a bullock cart carrying goods may cost dozens of silver coins, but this thing is a necessity, and with Lu Lin's current earning power, this burden is not heavy.

What's more, Lu Lin was originally a person who was very willing to spend money to invest in hardware. When he was so poor, he was even willing to use the few dozen silver coins he had to invest in accommodation and means of making money.

However, in addition, as long as the deal is negotiated, he will have to purchase a large amount of raw materials, which will also cost money.

besides……

Lu Lin looked at Li Mi, who was lying on the bed with a peaceful expression.

The other party was still wearing the same bandage.

It was fine before. Although the white bandage looked like a mummy, it was still clean.

But since the fight with the Black Snail Gang that day, the bandages all over Numi's body were stained with dried blood, which was really hard to accept.

Now that he knew he could communicate with her, Lu Lin actually wanted her to change her clothes.

It's a pity that Lu Lin lived in such poverty before. There were only two pieces of clothes at home. He wore one and the other was hanging outside to dry at this time.

What's more, he didn't have any intimate clothing for women.

So when we got to town soon, we had to spend money to buy some clothes for Numi.

In fact, not only Li Mi, Lu Lin should also buy some clothes for himself. By the way, he should also buy some daily necessities, such as mirrors and razors, so that he can take care of his appearance.

With this in mind, Lu Lin suddenly realized that he might need to bring more than one gold coin with him on this trip.

Fortunately, Lu Lin had found a total of more than 70 silver coins and some copper coins among the Black Snail Gang members. Now his total net worth is about 180 silver, otherwise the cash may not be enough.

Leaving fifty silver coins as an insurance policy, Lu Lin packed up the remaining money and filled his pocket.

The money has been brought, the goods have been packed, the only remaining question is...

Lu Lin looked at Li Mi who was still sleeping, feeling a little worried.

You can't just take this girl out, right?

I need to find something else for her to wear first.

Lu Lin first thought of his Black Crow Warlock robe.

But this outfit was a bit eye-catching, and Lu Lin was afraid that if she went to town wearing it, the town guards would come to check the water meter immediately.

If you don't consider this, there seems to be only one option left.

Lu Lin looked at the wall next to the door, where hung the hat and raincoat he would wear when going out on rainy days.

Although it is strange to go out wearing this outfit on this day, if it is a foreign traveler, it can actually be explained.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin made up his mind, sat next to Li Mi, and called softly: "Li Mi?"

The girl's eyes slowly opened and she looked over.

"As I said before, I hope you can protect me," Lu Lin said. "I need to go to town now to run some errands and buy some things. I also want to buy you some clothes."

Rumi didn't answer, but silently got out of bed and stood at the door.

It can be seen that she agreed, but really didn't want to talk.

"Ah, but it's not good for you to go out like this. If possible, can you put on these?" Lu Lin said, going to get the raincoat and bamboo hat.

Li Mi looked at Lu Lin without saying a word.

Lu Lin felt a little upset when she saw her, and asked tentatively: "That...isn't it okay?"

Li Mi still didn't answer, and even his eyes didn't stay on Lu Lin at all as before.

However, she silently raised her hands.

Although you don't actually need to raise your hands when wearing a raincoat, Lu Lin understood when she made this move.

It seems that she is willing to wear it, but she just doesn't want to put it on herself.

"What's going on here? Was it possible that you used to be a young lady who couldn't hold on to her clothes?"

Not right?

Whose eldest daughter just bowls with other people's heads in fights?

Sure enough, I still don’t understand the logic of Numi’s actions.

But based on her mental state, if one could understand it, Lu Lin's own mental state might be somewhat abnormal.

After helping Li Mi put on her bamboo hat and raincoat, Lu Lin took two steps back and looked at it.

It looks similar to those travelers who usually travel in bamboo hats and raincoats. The bandaged feet look like they are wearing leggings at first glance, so they should not attract too much attention.

"Then? Shall we set off?" Lu Lin asked.

Tanuki still didn't answer, just walked out of the door silently and stood outside.

Lu Lin put the basket on his back and went out.

He looked back at the room that didn't even have a door and sighed.

I can't even lock the door when I go out, which feels really bad.

It seems that I will need to buy some materials later to make a new door and install it.

"How many things do you need to buy on this trip? Don't forget about it..."

Lu Lin thought as he walked towards Diling Town.

Li Mi was still silent, her eyes still lifeless, but just as she promised, she followed Lu Lin silently.

----

----

Half an hour later, underground treasures.

"Hey, Sister Ajuan, I'm here."

Lu Lin opened the store door and said hello to Sister Ajuan.

The latter had just opened the door and was sweeping the floor in the store. When he saw Lu Lin, he immediately narrowed his eyes with laughter and said, "Oh! Xiao Lu, you are here! How are you? Have you made any explosives?"
