Chapter 205 204 A Genius Born From Poverty

Chapter 205 204. Genius born from poverty

It was clear that Lulu had obtained the key ingredients for refining the medicine, but Lu Yu found that Sera did not appear particularly excited.

After questioning, Lu Yu learned about Lulu's failure rate in refining new medicines.

For example, she refined the transformation potion for Benlong. It took half a year to use up countless waste materials. As long as she made money from selling the potion, she immediately bought new materials to try. Therefore, for a long time, Lulu's house is filled with the smell of all kinds of strange medicinal herbs.

Sera wasn't sure exactly how many materials she had lost in her attempt, but the number of times she refined the medicine was definitely not once, so a Sky Star Flower could only be said to have given Lulu a chance to draw an SSR.

This is also the reason why Sera said it was more appropriate to stop in Colai. Only there would Lulu have more opportunities to draw cards. Returning to the continent of Mera, all forces were secretly paying attention to her situation. As long as she Her refining list is exposed, and everyone will try to choke her.

"I heard that Lulu likes to eat the food you cook?"

I don’t know why Sera asked this, Lu Yu could only answer modestly with a little pride: "I have been robbed of food with my tentacles many times, and Sigrid should have been robbed the most times. of."

Sigrid covered her face in embarrassment.

"Then it seems that she is having a better time than at home during this period." Sierra sighed with emotion.

Sera went to Lulu's house to visit, and the gifts she brought were basically food, because Lulu didn't take care of herself seriously for refining medicine and magic-related matters.

When you get up, you tinker with medicinal herbs, and if you fail, you take a rest. The way to rest is to practice and create new magic. The two things take turns, and they are regarded as a way to adjust each other.

Lulu often finds some wild vegetables and boils them, along with some rice and bread.

Lulu's state is similar to what Lu Yu imagined. After all, although she was a child of poor people when she was a child, she has become a person of another class after awakening magic and reaching the sky.

"No matter what kind of magician you are, as long as you become a magician, your family will not go hungry."

This was also Lulu's creed when she was a child. After she finally realized it, she naturally no longer had to worry about making a living. Solon provided food, shelter, and clothing. Lu Yu could even imagine how much the Solon royal family had gained for the newly emerging Lulu. of attention.

Tanya made an early bet, used her to help with things, and captured her heart as a friend, because she took a fancy to Lulu's strong potential.

In this environment, she doesn't need to think about how to live at all. Everything can be done by servants and slaves. She just needs to say hello, and countless people will work for her.

Leaving Solon meant saying goodbye to this kind of life. Judging from Lulu's behavior when they met, Lu Yu immediately knew that her ability to be independent was very poor... Apart from anything else, in terms of food, she might not even be as good as the food in her own university dormitory. .

But...

"She is a magician, right? She can use a little magic to catch wild beasts and eat some meat. Don't tell me that she only eats vegetarian food. During the time we hid in the tree hole together, she ate meat. It was the best. Later when I was cooking, she basically didn’t eat green vegetables and only picked meat, just like Sigrid.”

Sigrid scratched her head on the side and thought to herself that as a dragon, it is normal to eat meat, but it is strange to be vegetarian...

Looking at Lulu who was placed on the head by the stupid dragon in the distance, Sera sighed helplessly.

"She lived with Tanya, and naturally she contracted some diseases from Tanya. Do you think Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Solon Empire would eat game hunted in the wild, or would she choose to purchase domesticated livestock with better meat quality? "

"For a long time after Lulu left Solon, her understanding of money was not established. If you say that she went shopping with the Mist Demon and the price of the food quadrupled at least, that's all praise, because Lulu left Solon. Lunshi took away very few things, mostly hard currency and high-denomination currency, and he was a little confused about the value of the things he took out. "

"Lulu doesn't know how to bargain. A bottle of potion that speeds up the recovery of magic power is exchanged for a sheep. I have seen her do this kind of transaction with my own eyes. If I hadn't pinched the hawker's neck and asked him to collect ten pairs of sheep. Come on, I guess the deal is done."

Lu Yu sweated: "It sounds like the vendor still made a profit?"

"You can't make money. Is he qualified to sell the medicines made by a seventh-level magician at a high price?" Sera snorted, "Anyone who can tell the level of the medicine will know that he is not a magician at all just by looking at his identity. The way for powerful civilians to obtain potions is confusing, and they have no right to bargain. If you encounter a conscientious buyer, you will not be able to pay the normal purchase price. If you encounter an unscrupulous person, whether he can get the money is a problem. "

"This is also my punishment for him. I just want him to hold a valuable item that may change half of his life, but he cannot get equivalent rewards."

It was a good thing to say, but Lu Yu always felt that something was wrong with the way he looked at Sera...

For some unknown reason, Bread fell down the steps and was sobbing. Orkus quickly put down his books and ran out.

Seeing Orkus busy checking the injury of the bread, the words "father and daughter" naturally appeared in Lu Yu's mind.

Suddenly, Lu Yu remembered something. He turned around and asked, "Sela, I want to ask you something."

The mist demon, who had become familiar with Sera for some reason, brought her a mushroom soup and roasted mushrooms. Sera smoothed her hair and was about to start drinking the soup.

"Ask about Lulu, right?"

"It's been more than ten years since Lulu became a magician. I once heard Lulu say that when she first awakened, she played with her parents and set fires together, but later when Lulu talked about Solon's experience, they were completely absent..."

Lu Yu's words became quieter and quieter, because Sera, who was drinking soup, had raised his head, his expression was a little solemn, and his eyes were very complicated.

After observing his expression, Lu Yu did not continue.

Wiping her mouth, Sera asked, "You haven't mentioned this question to Lulu, have you?"

"To be honest, I rarely ask about Lulu's private affairs. Even if Lulu doesn't use her ability to solve problems for me, I won't ask why." Lu Yu said, "If she doesn't say it, I won't ask. I think it's good to get along like this."

Sera had some admiration for Lu Yu in her heart. She asked calmly, "Why do you ask this now?"

"Since the battle of Blue Water City, I recalled that it seemed that I was telling her about my past, but I knew nothing except part of her past."

"I always think this is good..."

Lu Yu was silent for a while, threw away all the words he had found to describe that feeling, and said simply and rudely, "Anyway, I just want to know, and I don't know how to give a reason."

Sera took another sip of the soup. The warm mushroom soup was fragrant and mellow.

"Okay, I can tell you, but you have to remember, if Lulu doesn't mention her parents in person, never ask."

"That's her eternal pain..."

The first time Sera and Lulu met was at a court banquet.

Sera, who had already stood out from the crowd, was brought by Laurende. The famous Pope Laurende of the Mela Continent personally introduced her to the nobles who participated in the banquet, making her the most eye-catching person at the banquet.

After dealing with a large number of nobles, Sera came to the terrace to catch her breath, and happened to see a person kneeling in a small corner, gritting his teeth and sobbing.

She could feel the sadness from a distance.

She wanted to go forward to comfort him, but she was a little restrained for the first time attending the banquet, so Sera secretly left.

It was not until a long time later that Sera knew that the person who cried secretly there that night was Lulutis, the magician star of Solon.

After Sera finished this suspenseful memory, she suddenly asked Lu Yu a strange question.

"A pair of civilians with no magic foundation gave birth to a gifted magic genius. Do you think it's a good thing?"

"Can this be a bad thing?" Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked back.

He subconsciously made an analogy.

A gifted sports genius, the physique and athletic ability given by God make him rank among the best in everything he plays. Giving birth to such a child, even if the parents are ordinary people, in Lu Yu's country, it is an ending where they just lie down and wait for the child to take the lead. They can write dozens of cool articles and promote inspirational stories without reprinting.

It was also at this moment that Lu Yu suddenly thought of something.

After all, this is not the country and land that raised him.

"It's normal to think so. After all, this should be a normal script, but it's not the case for Lulu's family."

Sera's voice trembled a little.

"Lulu's family is very poor. According to the history I know, Lulu is not even a commoner, but a half-slave. His father was a slave. Because the lord at that time was kind and lifted the slavery, he had the opportunity to be an ordinary person."

"Although there is no war between the four major countries of Mera, there are many wars among the small countries that are dependent on the four major countries. Moreover, the four major countries basically do not control the infighting between them. There are both tacit approval from the big countries and the small countries adding fuel to the fire for the sake of gaining benefits. Lulu's mother is a refugee from a small country in Mera. She fled to Solon and met Lulu's father in the process of struggling for survival, and finally formed a family."

"The only thing worth mentioning is that Lulu's mother seemed to have a good family, so she taught Lulu to read when she was growing up."

Sera closed her eyes and recalled for a while, and continued.

"Lulu's family has no money, and it's normal to go hungry. Unexpectedly, a magician with amazing talent appeared in such a family. At that time, they decided to give Lulu the best education and let her talent be brought into play."

"So, they found various magician academies in Solon, hoping to get an admission quota, but you know..." Sera looked at Lu Yu with a wry smile.

Lu Yu murmured, "Money, status, right?"

"Yes, to enter the magic academy, you either need money or status, because talent takes time to realize, and who knows to what extent this talent can develop? In the huge Solon, there are many awakened magicians, but only a few can become high-level magicians. Who can say for sure that Lulu is one of them?"

"But Lulu's parents don't care. They firmly believe that Lulu can do it and believe that their child can eventually become the greatest magician in Solon, so they ask for help. Finally, they moved a magician of civilian origin. The magician is willing to help Lulu enroll in school in his own name, but he can only help here. Lulu needs to pay the tuition herself."

"So there are two problems facing Lulu's parents."

"One is money, and the other is another thing the magician said."

Sera covered her face with her hands, as if hiding something.

"At that time, there were few civilians enrolled in the Magician Academy in the Solon Royal City. After all, this is the political center and the place with the most Solon magicians. Ordinary people basically do not have the qualifications to arrive here. Most of them study in the academies around the royal city."

"If Lulu wants to study here, she will probably face a problem after enrollment... bullying."

"Nobles are nobles, and untouchables are untouchables. Identity is indispensable here. Lulu's background determines that she is very likely to be abused by nobles with bad character, and this kind of abuse belongs to the privilege of the noble class. Asking for help from the Magician Association may not be useful."

"Lulu's parents chose the most difficult royal city to study everywhere for her to have the best future. Now that there is a ray of hope, they will naturally seize it... In order for Lulu to not be discriminated against and to go to school with peace of mind, they made a decision."

"Modify Lulu's background and send her to a magician in the academy as an adopted daughter, and they are no longer Lulu's parents in name..."

Silence.

After a long time, Sera continued.

"The most ironic thing is that the magician who was sent away decided to accept Lulu as his adopted daughter just for money. He would not take care of Lulu, nor would he pay any fees for Lulu. Instead, he asked Lulu's parents to pay him honor fees."

"A refugee and a slave, what kind of work can they do to pay Lulu's high tuition and the greedy demands of a greedy magician with no teacher ethics?"

"What kind of work is it that you can gamble with as long as you have a life, and there will be work every day, just to see if you can come back to get paid?"

Lu Yu has already thought of the answer.

Sigrid said it with difficulty: "Adventurer..."

"Yes, in order for Lulu to study magic in the academy with peace of mind, they constantly challenged commissions far beyond their level. Relying on experience, they have safely passed several difficulties, but luck will not favor them one after another."

"In the third year of Lulu's entry into the academy, when Lulu was discovered by Tanya and brought to her side, their team was wiped out in the mine."

Sera looked at the sky, thinking.

"Lulu always said that she became a magician because she wanted her parents to have enough food to eat and not have to work hard anymore."

"After that, her dream changed."

"For her parents, she wanted to become the greatest magician in Solon." Sera said, "but who can define this 'greatness' for her?"
