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

Coincidentally, Lu Lin remembered that there was such a small mole in almost the same position under the corner of Li Mi's left eye.

After noticing this, Lu Lin still didn't think that Li Mi was the person in the portrait, but he still subconsciously started to compare the faces of Li Mi and the woman in the portrait.

Seeing this, Lu Lin became more and more frightened.

After all, a portrait is a portrait. If it is not painted in a hyper-realistic style, it is basically impossible to be exactly the same as a real person.

What's more, this painting seems to focus more on expressiveness rather than physical resemblance.

But on the contrary, the painter is very good at refining the characteristics of people's facial features. Careful comparison can reveal that every feature of Numi's facial features is exactly the same as that of the woman in the painting.

"Damn, what the hell is going on..." Lu Lin, realizing that something was wrong, immediately turned around and drove the bullock cart quickly away from the bulletin board.

Li Mi is actually wanted by the Crusaders?

The bounty is as high as three hundred gold?

And he actually massacred the Holy Church?

Lu Lin frowned for a moment, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.

If Li Mi was really just a heinous criminal, Lu Lin would certainly not mind handing her over directly to the Crusaders.

After all, that was a bounty of three hundred gold coins, what a huge sum of money.

If he really had this money, Lu Lin would not only be able to be promoted to an intermediate alchemist immediately, but he might even be able to quickly advance to a higher level with this money.

But is it really that simple?

Li Mi saved Lu Lin's life and is still his personal guard. Lu Lin is not willing to hand her over for money.

Although three hundred gold is a lot, it is not an amount that he cannot earn. Now he can earn three gold per month as a junior alchemist. In the future, when he is promoted to an intermediate alchemist, he will earn this amount of money. It should be for him. It won't be difficult.

In addition, even if the personal relationship is put aside, the wanted letter itself is very problematic.

The last item of the charge says "escape from prison", which means that Rumi has been arrested and imprisoned before.

It's hard not to think that she just escaped from prison and came here.

But this guess is very problematic.

If she escaped from prison, the injuries on her body might be explained as being caused by fighting during the escape, but the broken armor remains cannot be explained.

I wonder which prisoner can still wear armor like that while being imprisoned?

Excluding this possibility, we can only think that she had successfully escaped from prison a long time ago, and her traces were not discovered until recently. Then she was defeated in the battle, and was finally picked up by Lu Lin.

But this can't explain Noomi's mental state. Since she escaped from prison for a long time and was only discovered and attacked recently, how could her mental state become like this?

If this was already the case when she escaped from prison, how did she live after that?

Thinking about Rumi sitting in front of the pot waiting for food when she was hungry, Lu Lin couldn't imagine how she could survive alone in the wild.

Moreover, the name on the wanted poster was different from what Numi told him.

Of course, Tanuki might lie to him.

But in this mental state, people are deceived...

Ok.

To be honest, these doubts can all be explained in a forced way, but when they are all piled together, Lu Lin really feels strange.

"Well, it would be great if we knew what happened outside recently. Is there anything I can get a clue about..."

By the way, newspapers!

The most proud industry of the Earth Spirit Tribe is the Earth Spirit News.

These guys have their own underground network and publish something similar to a newspaper.

Of course, it is just similar. With the conditions of this world, it is impossible to be higher than any daily or weekly newspaper. The Earth Spirit News of the Earth Spirit Clan will be published once every 20 days on average. The specific time is said to depend on when enough can be saved for one issue. messages and content.

The things recorded above are also very complicated and messy, there are many advertisements, and many sources of information are unreliable, which Lu Lin thinks is particularly unreliable.

But even so, it is probably the best way for people in this world to understand world events.

As for a large-scale wanted person, since the Holy Cult has sent people to post wanted notices everywhere, there is no reason not to leave some information in the earthly newspapers.

Lu Lin was once so poor that he couldn't bear to put more rice in his meals every day, so naturally he didn't have the spare money to buy this thing.

But it's different now.

Lu Lin reached into his completely deflated pocket and dug through it, and finally took out two silver coins and a few copper coins.

This was the last change he had left.

Due to the high printing costs, high logistics costs, and high information transmission costs in this world, compared to the newspapers and periodicals that Lu Lin knew, the price of the Diling News can be said to be sky-high, with one issue costing one silver coin. He has two coins left, which is enough to buy two recent ones.

It would be good if we could find out some information about Li Mi, but if not, we could at least learn more about the situation outside, which wouldn't be a loss anyway.

After making up his mind, Lu Lin took a break and went to the sales office of Earth Spirit News.

The clerk at the sales counter is an elderly lady from the ground, who always has a stern face on weekdays, especially towards Lu Lin, a prostitute who has never been interested in buying anything.

But today, when she saw Lu Lin, her expression was different from before.

"You, are you the poor boy who collects medicine?" The old lady looked at Lu Lin in shock, and the reading glasses on her face fell to the tip of her pen without realizing it.

"Yes, it's me," Lu Lin said, patting down two silver coins, "but this time I brought money."

The old lady adjusted her glasses, picked up the two silver coins, looked at them, and nodded: "Well, no problem, but the latest issue of the newsletter hasn't arrived yet."

"It doesn't matter, just bring me the two most recent issues," Lu Lin said casually, "I'll buy the next issue when it comes out."

After saying this, Lu Lin couldn't help but feel a little happy.

He has received too many looks from this old woman, and he won't have to suffer it again in the future.

Old lady Di Ling looked at Lu Lin, curled her lips, and said, "Don't look forward to it too much. It's just two issues of useless paper."

"Ah?" Lu Lin was stunned, "Waste paper? Er, you want to say that there is nothing interesting happening recently?"

"No, this thing has been meaningless since many years ago," the old lady Di Ling said, placing two local Ling news magazines in front of Lu Lin, "Take them and there will be no returns."

"Uh, okay," Lu Lin's mouth twitched and he took the two news magazines, "You sell this thing yourself, is that really appropriate?"

"It doesn't matter, I get a fixed salary anyway," said the old lady Di Ling, put away the silver coins, lay back on her recliner, and closed her eyes again.

Lu Lin was speechless for a moment.

I originally wanted to impress this old lady, but now I am a bit embarrassed?

wrong.

Damn it, why don't you, old woman, let him peek before you get your regular salary?

After watching it for free, how can you cut off some meat?

"I really don't understand," Lu Lin muttered, turned back to the bullock cart, and then drove straight away.

Listening to the ox cart going further and further away, old lady Di Ling opened her eyes slightly, glanced at the direction the ox cart was leaving, sighed, and murmured to herself.

"False words confuse the world, commit evil, commit evil, alas..."

Chapter 27 It’s broken. The old woman was right.

About 10 minutes later, Lu Lin drove the bullock cart back home.

The road along this road is quite smooth, and it is a road that can be traveled by bullock carts.

Although it was a bit bumpy, it was still much easier than walking on foot while carrying a heavy backpack.

After returning home, Lu Lin parked the bullock cart next to the house, and took the cow behind the house and tied it under a big tree.

"It seems that we need to build a cowshed in the future, otherwise if it rains, it will be bad for the old cow to catch a cold..."

Lu Lin was thinking in his mind.

There is a bullpen, a bathroom, and it is not a problem to sleep on a recliner every night.

Ok……

I have the urge to just build a new house.

But if you really want to build a nice house, you have to spend a few gold coins.

Although it was not completely unaffordable, considering that only ten gold coins were needed to complete the task, after thinking about it, Lu Lin still felt that he would have to settle for now.

Moreover, he is not sure how long he will live here.

After settling down Niu Niu, Lu Lin returned to the front of the house. When he looked up, he saw Li Mi already sitting next to the pot.

They were in a hurry to go out in the morning and didn't eat breakfast. They must be starving now.

Of course, the same goes for Lu Lin.

Lu Lin took the fresh ingredients he just bought from the bullock cart and started making today's lunch.

After the meal was cooked, Tanuki ate another mechanical meal as usual.

Lu Lin looked at her with mixed feelings in his heart.

Lu Lin found Li Mi's eating movements horrifying at first, but after seeing it more often, he got used to it, and this is how he has been doing it these days.

But today, Lu Lin felt that he couldn't stand it anymore.

Seeing Tanuki being dressed up beautifully by himself and Sister Ajuan, repeating mechanical movements like a poorly designed robot, constantly stuffing handfuls of food into her mouth, the weird contrast was stronger than anything else. It was so strong every time that it made Lu Lin very worried.

"Oh, what evil have you done? This is..."

Sighing, Lu Lin hesitated for a moment and then shouted: "Rumi, wait."

Tanuki was about to grab the food and paused, then turned his head.

Although her eyes were still unfocused, at least she did look over.

Lu Lin reached out and took the rice bowl in her hand and put it aside. Then he wiped the rice off her face and hands with a towel, then picked up her rice bowl, took a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of food, and served it to her. In front of Tanuki's mouth.

Then Lu Lin, as if he was feeding his nephew at home, said: "Come on, ah..."

For a moment, Lu Lin seemed to feel that Li Mi was startled.

But it was only for a moment, and Li Mi's expression did not change at all, making Lu Lin unsure whether this was his illusion.

Then, Tanuki slowly opened his mouth and slowly took in the spoonful of food.

Watching Li Mi chew slowly with her mouth closed, a smile appeared on Lu Lin's face unconsciously.

He felt that he knew more and more how to get along with Li Mi.

However, when he thought of the wanted order, Lu Lin's good mood immediately cooled down.

Glancing at the two local spirit magazines placed aside, Lu Lin sighed softly.

Now, I just hope that these two publications can publish some useful things.

----

----

This meal should be the slowest meal that Li Mi has eaten since arriving in Lulin.

Originally, Lu Lin was worried that eating too slowly would make Li Mi anxious, but it didn't seem like she was against it.

In other words, she actually didn't care about how fast she ate. She just opened her mouth and ate according to her instinct without thinking about anything.

After the meal, Lu Lin tidied the bed at home.

After you have money, you should no longer sleep on the same old mattress.

Lu Lin replaced the rag sheets and hay mats with cotton mats and cotton sheets bought from the city, and also put in goose feather pillows and cotton blankets.

After changing, Li Mi immediately lay down on it.

As soon as I drank the medicine, I closed my eyes and fell asleep directly. I didn't even lift the quilt, I just went to sleep on the quilt.

Lu Lin was helpless, but thinking that the weather wasn't too cold, he let her go. Anyway, she would have to get up for a meal at night, and then he would just cover her with a quilt.

After settling down Li Mi, Lu Lin started to eat his lunch. During the meal, he brought the latest local spirit news magazine and flipped through it while eating.

This was also the first time he took a serious look at this thing. He had flipped through it secretly before, and he could read a few more pages at first. Later, the old woman knew that he had no money to buy it, so she stopped letting him read it.

It felt novel when I first turned it over, but now it seems that Lu Lin was frowning the whole time.
