Chapter 11 11 Farewell and Departure
Chapter 11 11. Parting and Departure
This question is beyond the scope of Lu Yu's answer.
Lu Yu asked a question out of curiosity.
"What kind of life is this..."
"Fantasy life theory." Lulutis corrected.
"Oh, fantasy life theory, isn't there a summoner trying to verify it?"
Lulutis said: "Of course there are, and there are quite a few."
"Since the theory was proposed, summoners have tried to break their own cognitive boundaries in various ways and contract summons that have not yet appeared in this world."
"However..."
The reason why it is just a theory and conjecture is that every attempt has failed or had to be terminated.
In Lulutis's description, Lu Yu also knew what kind of "curse" this conjecture brought to the summoner group.
Not long after the birth of the fantasy life theory 1,100 years ago, a summoner took a large amount of hallucinogens to put himself in a psychedelic state and forcibly performed the summoning ceremony.
The huge summoning ceremony of this seventh-level magician was public, and magicians from various countries around came to observe at that time.
In order to escape the "frame", the summoner completely followed the will of his psychedelic self.
So, a giant dragon with spider legs appeared at the scene of the summoning ceremony.
This absurd summoned creature only existed in this world for a short time before it disappeared again.
The summoner in a psychedelic state was unable to give him any orders, and the price he paid was only a little magic power.
When someone asked him what he was thinking in the illusion afterwards, the summoner could not answer.
This was the first recorded summoning ceremony to verify the conjecture.
It was also the prelude to a chaotic summoning era.
Since then, some summoners have begun to be dissatisfied with the promotion of the magician class. They are paranoid that summoning something that has never existed may be an important opportunity for them to surpass other branches of magicians.
In the next two hundred years, summoners began to verify in all kinds of strange ways.
Some people ordered their apprentices to use mental magic on themselves and attack them repeatedly until they were completely crazy.
However, after the madness, he could not even control the summoning ceremony, which made the summoning ceremony unstable, the magic power overflowed, and destroyed everything near the ceremony site.
In order to break through the cognitive boundary, some people kidnapped newborn babies, kept them in captivity, and did not let them contact any external things.
This group of summoners who firmly believed that "new life" could be born from nothingness bound their spirits to these children and stubbornly began the summoning ceremony.
These children without magic power could not bear the intensity of the summoning ceremony at all and died one after another.
Chaos and paranoia swept the summoner group.
Hanlin Luodan, the eighth-level magician who proposed the theory of fantasy life, was criticized in his later years and died in depression.
Before his death, he left a last word.
Those who wanted to verify the theory proved that they were not human.
After that, his daughter Lan Luodan became a summoner killer.
When the Magician Association was indifferent to the chaos of summoners, it gathered many bounty hunter groups including elf hunters, goblin bounty hunters, and giant killers.
They gathered together to massacre the summoners who verified the theory.
The escalation of the situation also forced the Magician Association and the rulers of various kingdoms to pay attention.
The promulgation of the joint decree made the unauthorized research on fantasy life a thing of the past.
However, once the box is opened, it cannot be easily closed.
Until now, there are still some summoners who try to verify the conjecture and ascend to heaven in one step by bypassing the official in various ways.
However, repeated failures have made such people less and less.
Summoners gradually regard this theory as an eternal puzzle that cannot be verified at all.
As a magician, Lulutis is very clear about this taboo. It was just when she talked with Lu Yu just now that she suddenly thought of Lu Yu's identity and the huge possibilities contained in it.
Curiosity is the driving force for people's progress and development. For Lulutis, Lu Yu's existence seems to be a solution to the fantasy life theory.
Lu Yu didn't think much about what branch to choose after becoming a magician. After all, he hasn't even completed the awakening stage yet.
But seeing Lulutis speak so completely and in detail, he also became curious.
"Being a summoner seems to be quite interesting?" Lu Yu touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
However, to become a summoner, you have to leave this remote place first.
Lu Yu, who was putting on a full show, used a carbon rod to paint on a piece of scraps of cloth he had collected.
Lulutis looked at the crooked lines appearing on the scraps of cloth and thought he was practicing calligraphy again, so she ignored him and packed Lu Yu's luggage.
After a long while, Lulutis floated over and saw that an oval map had appeared on the scraps of cloth.
Lu Yu even marked the place names and some local specialties in a serious manner.
"This... the map of your world?" Lulutis was shocked.
"That can't be done. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My geography is not very good. I can't remember many places, and I can't basically make a map rubbing."
"What are you doing?"
"I made it up." Lu Yu smiled proudly, "Since I am a traveler from afar, if I am asked, wouldn't it be bad if I can't show some travel traces?"
"Of course, my fake maps won't hurt anyone. After all, the place I'm talking about doesn't exist at all, and I go very far when I describe it. They can't verify it at all."
"This is a prop that adds credibility to your identity."
"One piece seems not enough. I'll get a few more and put them on my body. When I get to a place with people, I'll use better tools to make rubbings again."
Lulutis is really speechless. Lu Yu is really too detailed...
Just like that, he also said that he was frightened after coming to this world and forced out?
Lulutis didn't believe it at all. She felt that Lu Yu was like this in his world.
It took two days to prepare for the move.
During this period, White Wolf saw the movements in the tree hole and seemed to know what was going to happen.
He watched Lu Yu and Lulutis busy in the tree hole from a distance without saying a word, then silently turned and left.
After the white wolf left, the primrose birds quickly occupied the few budding trees nearby.
On the last night in the tree hole, Lu Yu lay on the straw nest and couldn't sleep.
Inexplicably, I traveled here with my graduation luggage and struggled to survive for a month near the swarms of wild beasts.
When he was almost unable to hold on any longer, Lulutis appeared and gave him hope of leaving here.
The nearly three months of language module loading and learning made him feel as if he was back on campus in an instant.
Tomorrow, three months of campus life will end, and he will embark on a completely unknown road.
Perhaps because she was leaving this place tomorrow, Lulutis did not sleep, but was constantly flicking the bonfire with her tentacles.
"I don't think I've asked you before. Since you have no friends or family, why do you want to go back so much?"
Lu Yu turned over and faced the direction of Lulutis.
"For you, you can build a new home anywhere. Anyway, your seventh-level magician is the real deal."
Lulutis' tentacles were still poking at the bonfire.
Lu Yu, who thought he would not get a response, put his hands on the back of his head and continued to think about how to deal with various emergencies tomorrow.
"There are many treasures in my house. I want to go back and take a look. If it cannot be saved..."
Lulu Ti paused and said with a smile: "Then as you said, anywhere can be home."
So much time has passed, even if there are any treasures that were not destroyed by the explosion, they must have been picked up by monsters, beasts or people passing by by chance.
Lulutis also knew this, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Lu Yu could tell that from beginning to end, Lulutis had no sense of belonging to her hometown, the Solon Empire.
Is it because the magician has a vague concept of country, or is it because the national belonging of the people in this world is so weak?
A night of silence.
After waking up, Lu Yu and Lulutis ate their last meal in the tree hole.
Slime paste mashed into puree, some herbs that can be eaten as green vegetables, and a large piece of beef jerky.
Because the quilt took up too much space and was not easy to carry, Lu Yu decided to leave it with Bai Lang. Even if it was used as a stepping stone for him, it would be a good use.
However, Lu Yu and Lulutis searched around outside and never saw the white wolf.
The white wolf who had guarded them for half the winter was not there when they were about to part, which made Lu Yu feel a little disappointed.
The healing pills prepared by Lulutis were placed on the quilt that Lu Yu dragged to the entrance of the tree hole.
Lu Yu felt that Bai Lang was so smart that he should be able to understand after seeing this scene.
Worried that his feelings would not be conveyed, Lu Yu took out a knife and walked into the tree hole, carving a heart shape on the wall where the white wolf could see it at a glance.
Lulutis saw it, floated in, stretched out her tentacles, and drew a wolf head next to the heart.
"He should understand it better this way."
Lu Yu and Lulutis laughed at the same time.
After carrying their luggage and walking further and further, the tree hole gradually disappeared behind Lu Yu and Lulutis.
After walking for a while, the two suddenly heard the sound of rapid running from behind.
The two of them raised their heads and looked towards a gentle slope.
The white wolf suddenly stopped, his body was sideways, and he stopped at the moment when he was about to rush out of the gentle slope.
The white wolf, half of his body stained with blood and mucus, was panting and seemed a little surprised to see Lu Yu and Lulutis.
He lowered his head and looked at Lu Yu and Lulutis with his blue eyes. Then he raised his head, relaxed his mouth, and a bag flew in front of them.
Lu Yu opened it and saw a bag full of silver coins.
Looking at the blood and mucus all over his body, it is not difficult to guess that he was helping Lu Yu and Lulutis find travel expenses.
"Are you injured?" Lu Yu raised his head and looked at Bai Lang.
Bai Lang exhaled forcefully, as if he was mocking Lu Yu for underestimating him.
Lulutis couldn't communicate, so she had to remind Lu Yu.
"White Wolf's posture..."
After saying this, Lu Yu found that the white wolf had only one side facing him.
"Turn around and let us take a look?"
Bai Lang and Lu Yu looked at each other, and Lu Yu didn't retreat at all. As long as Bai Lang didn't turn around, he would climb up to check the situation personally.
The white wolf suddenly turned around, turned the other side, and flung some sand away from his feet, throwing it into the faces of Lu Yu and Lulutis.
After patting the fine sand off their faces, the two of them took a closer look. The white wolf had no scars at all. Who knew who the unlucky guy left the blood and mucus.
Lu Yu then confidently picked up the bag of silver coins on the ground.
"I say, White Wolf, do you want to go with us?"
White Wolf shook his head.
In fact, Lu Yu also guessed this answer.
If he was willing to go with them, then White Wolf would most likely lie at the entrance of the tree hole and wait.
Now White Wolf went to fight with someone and snatched a bag of silver coins to give to them, which would be a farewell gift.
"Remember to collect the things we left for you." Lu Yu reminded, "Try to show up less during this period, and wait until summer to be active again."
"The group of people you killed may come back for revenge... Don't look at them with contempt, there may be guys among them that you can't deal with."
"If you are accidentally gone, then it would be a waste of time for me to come back here one day."
White Wolf didn't speak.
Lu Lutis floated up, put her tentacles on his forehead, and touched it gently.
After Lu Lutis returned to Lu Yu's side, White Wolf stood up and nodded slightly to Lu Yu.
Seeing that White Wolf listened, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"When I finish my business, I will come back to play with you."
