Chapter 215 214 She Is My Friend

Chapter 215 214. She is my friend

Races that are extremely sensitive to the moon often need a lot of data about the moon when studying their own talents and magic, such as butterflies and werewolves. For a long time, the difference in races has made all kinds of astronomical records have a wide market. All races in this world will look up at the stars and think about what exists above the sky, but Lulu's knowledge class did not teach these.

Lu Yu visited Sera and went to the Dizang Library that night and borrowed all the records and books she asked about.

Today is the day when Lulu officially refines the first batch of recovery potion. Lu Yu, holding a book, smelled an indescribable smell floating near their rented mansion from a distance.

It was like the Chinese medicine boiled at home when he was a child, but the smell was mixed with a little sourness and a faint burnt smell, as if someone had lit cotton candy.

The overly complex smell made Lu Yu's nose lose its basic judgment ability. Because of staying up late with Lulu and catching a cold, his nose, which was a little blocked, was instantly unblocked. Regardless of whether the potion could make Lulu return to her original state, it was quite effective in treating nasal congestion...

Lulu did not choose to make medicine indoors this time - she did think so at first, but Sigrid and the fog demon dragged her and the bottles and jars out of the house.

Every table around Lulu was filled with translucent containers filled with liquid, and materials such as goblin finger bones, which seemed to be added after the medicine was made, were neatly stacked aside.

Sigrid and the fog demon did not approach Lulu after she entered the state. Lulu repeatedly reminded her that she could not master the scale of potion making and asked them to stay as far away as possible.

Seeing Lu Yu go home, Sigrid and the fog demon came over.

"Lulu asked me to give this to you."

Lu Yu looked at the goblin finger bone in the small box and was stunned.

"Yes, it's useless. After all, you can buy it here." Lu Yu's thoughts drifted back to the day when he parted with the Goblin King.

What would happen if the Goblin King kept moving forward? This was a question that Lu Yu could not answer at the time. After all, he had just arrived in this world and was very unfamiliar with everything.

However, now, Lu Yu really wanted to tell him that although this road was very difficult to walk, and the people and things he faced on the road were very troublesome, but... it really made you stronger, both in terms of strength and inwardness.

When I was in Yas a year ago, it was so difficult to find materials for gold-level monsters. There was no such goods in the human market, and the strength of the surrounding races was only mithril.

Lu Yu looked at the fog monster and smiled.

"Is there anything on me?"

The fog monster turned into Sigrid's appearance, twisting back and forth, trying to find the reason why Lu Yu smiled at him.

"Nothing, I just think that your dad... uh, Hogu really loves you. If you stay there, you will never see the possibility of growth."

Putting away the finger bones of the Goblin King, Lu Yu thought that after sending Lulu home, he had to find time to go back to Yas to take a look.

Lulu's tentacles reached out to a translucent container closest to her, gently causing a ripple in the liquid inside.

Before officially starting, Lulu glanced at Lu Yu, then took a deep breath, poured the extracted juice into one of the containers, and stirred it carefully.

There were no sparks or lightning, let alone dazzling visions. The current magic foundation determined that the most direct and violent negative feedback for the failure of potion making was explosion.

Refining potions is different from what is described in many literary works. The scene is a bit like a pastry chef kneading dough. The amount of water and flour needs to be controlled in a better proportion to make the potion blend perfectly.

Extracting juice and extracting the essence of materials can basically be done carefully, but it is very difficult to integrate the medicinal properties and accurately use each material. Lu Yu thinks that the success of refining most new potions is full of randomness.

For example, Lulu herself is not sure that this potion that can turn into tentacles and enhance defense can be perfectly reproduced again.

However, she can't be too demanding. She is a pharmacist who started out halfway. She is a pure wild way. She has explored in this school that urgently needs experience. It is amazing that she can achieve the current achievements.

Lu Yu took the book, sat under the shade of a tree, and began to read it.

Lulu was busy, and he had to sort out the information he got.

The first thing Lu Yu took out was the record of the change of the route of the Broken Islands. This booklet recorded in detail the changes in the mainstream routes of the cargo ships of Born City passing through the Broken Islands area to the distant sea area in the past hundred years.

Channel changes are not a trivial matter. Most ships traveling on trade routes rarely change their routes on their own initiative. After all, the predecessors have proved that the routes with less danger are the safest to use. No one wants to create unnecessary complications and add variables to themselves.

The route of the Broken Islands has changed twice in the past hundred years.

The city of Borne under the trade alliance system is qualified to modify the route on its own, so all these route changes are made by the Borne City Maritime Association.

The overall shape of the Broken Islands is like a person's palm, with small islands connected in series to form five fingers, so it is also called the Palm Islands by the people.

Because the narrow route located in the ring finger area of ​​the palm is suitable for navigation at any time, it is a natural channel.

The book records that the reason why the guild frequently changes routes is because it is unsafe, and there are unclear risks of sailing in the Broken Islands.

From time to time, there will be strange situations where ships from Borne City run aground in the area, are dragged by undercurrents, lose their direction, and turn back to Borne City by mistake.

Because these things happen irregularly, the magicians and professional seafarers sent by the guild cannot find a suitable explanation for the reasons, so in the end they can only blame the poor environment in the Ring Finger area and too many occasional factors.

After that, there was a brief restoration of the routes in the area, but basically no local cargo ships were willing to go. They would rather take the routes of the other three fingers than the Ring Finger area.

At the same time, because the sea people living in the Ring Finger area are sirens, the story of sirens eating people was also widely circulated during this period, and even led to the sirens personally exploring the route to prove their innocence.

The compiler of this booklet was very attentive and also sorted out the number of shipwrecks in the other three routes.

Interestingly, comparing the number of shipwrecks on the four routes, the Ring Finger Route does have the most, but not too many. And although the government does not allow large cargo ships to take the Ring Finger Route, civilian small boats are not prohibited. They have been taking it for so many years, and they don’t feel that this route is so weird.

Even the president of the Maritime Transport Association said at a meeting that the Ring Finger Route was destroyed by rumors, and this rumor is already difficult to dispel.

Even if they say it is safe there now, most people still won’t believe it, because the stories they have heard since childhood are like this. It has become a frequent place for strange stories, and the prejudice against sea monsters is also difficult to eliminate.

Lu Yu thinks this is just like the older generation telling you that all the nutrition is in the soup. They have been cognizing this since childhood. Even if you know that meat is the most nutritious, you can’t convince them, because that idea has long been deeply rooted and cannot be shaken.

Lu Yu asked Sigrid for paper and pen, wrote down some of the details he had locked on, and then opened the second book that Sera had asked to borrow, "The Record of the Born Shipwreck".

This book records in detail the shipwrecks that occurred around Borne City in the past two hundred years. I heard from the owner of the library that the author of the book also wrote the "Colai Shipwreck Record" with the support of the Trade Union, so the credibility of the data used in the book is extremely high.

Lu Yu set his sights on the Ring Finger Route and kept flipping through it.

Fog Fairy and Sigrid, who were originally observing Lulu refining medicine, surrounded Lu Yu and silently helped Lu Yu organize the content he had written down.

Before he finished writing, Lu Yu frowned.

Sigrid pinched the shipwreck record that Lu Yu had extracted keywords from, and asked in surprise: "Why do most of them seem to happen at night?"

Lu Yu also noticed this, but he quickly thought of another reason.

"It is natural that accidents are more likely to occur at night. After all, visibility is not as good as during the day, and the possibility of crew misoperation is much higher than during the day. If there are newcomers on the ship, the probability of such errors will be even higher. This does not mean anything."

In fact, what made Lu Yu frown was that most of the accidents on the Ring Finger Route were caused by the ship being there, but no one was there.

People on board can see that the furnishings inside the ship are very neat, and there are no signs of fighting. The ship is basically intact as a whole, and there is no possibility of being invaded and boarded.

Other shipwrecks without missing people are even more bizarre. Many cargo ships inexplicably hit reefs in the area, took on water, and almost sank.

However, when the enthusiastic sirens went to the bottom of the sea to check, there was no reef at all.

Therefore, many people suspected that there was a huge sea beast in the area doing evil. They secretly hit the ship, causing the ship to sink, and then swallowed the crew who fell into the water.

However, this statement was not only despised by the sirens, but also by the surrounding sea creatures, because they have lived in this area for so long, what big guys in the sea water they can't see?

And why did the behemoth that could hit the cargo ship stagger have to wait until the crew fell into the water before eating, couldn't they dismantle the ship and feast directly?

Sea beasts can't have a ritual of prayer before meals, right?

Thank the sea god for sending the meal to my mouth, give the sea god a heart?

It would have been fine if the sirens hadn't said that. Once they did, coupled with the rumors that the sirens ate people, it soon became that the sea beasts were kept captive by the sirens...

As a result, many people later thought that the sirens would say that to deliberately conceal the existence of the sea beasts.

It was like looking at the sirens through tinted glasses, and they were presumed guilty in minutes.

As Lu Yu watched, he felt that what he saw was not a record of a shipwreck, but more like the "100,000 Whys" that those unscrupulous editors made up when they were young and put on the market by taking advantage of the information gap.

As he watched, Lu Yu felt more and more that the sirens were really scapegoats. Whenever there was a shipwreck, everyone thought of him and cared about him.

The few sirens I saw at the port last time, both men and women, were quite kind. Even if Lu Yu asked about them and the description of the shipwreck, they still answered calmly, with a gentle temperament of "If you are willing to reason with me, I will definitely reason with you." Exactly the same as Vanessa's record, they really stand out as a Buddhist. After being looked at with tinted glasses for so many years, they are still so calm.

Lu Yu felt sorry for these honest people who couldn't dispel rumors.

The strong smell of burning drew Lu Yu's attention away from the book. He, Sigrid, and the fog demon all looked up and found that the translucent container in front of Lulu, which had been mixed with countless materials, had turned into a strange rose-red color, but the smoke that floated up was actually orange.

As we all know, when a group of people live together for a long time, they often develop a strong tacit understanding.

When they saw the smoke coming out of the potion in front of Lulu, the three people reacted in the same way...

Run!

Run as far as you can!

Sigrid, who played physical skills, had the strongest burst in an instant. Before Lu Yu started, she was already several meters away.

However, Sigrid remembered her identity - she was the servant of Lulu and Lu Yu.

It was really wrong to leave Lu Yu behind and run away, so Sigrid turned back very loyally, saying "Time is tight, sorry", grabbed Lu Yu's knees with one hand and Lu Yu's chest with the other hand, lifted it up over her head in a tripod-carrying posture, and ran away with Lu Yu.

The dove in the form of the fog demon flew straight to the sky until its wings could no longer flap, then it slowly fell down and joined Lu Yu and Sigrid.

The three of them gathered together, covering their ears and opening their mouths.

Lulu saw all this, and all her tentacles were trembling. If the distance was not enough, she would have tied up the three guys and beat them with her tentacles.

What kind of reaction was this? One by one, they said they believed in her alchemy skills, and one by one, they said they would be relieved if a seventh-level magician took action. What was the result?

Was this a sign of relief?

The three people who had waited for a long time but did not see the explosion were a little confused. Whether it would explode or not, you should give an accurate number, don’t let it be a dud, wait for a surprise, right?

"Failed."

Lulu's voice was very calm, as if she was announcing an insignificant little thing, but everyone could hear the disappointment in her tone.

There was no furnace explosion, no explosion, and the potion was broken just like a novice who had just learned to cook and ruined the ingredients and kitchen utensils in the kitchen.

Lulu skillfully used her tentacles to scoop out the semi-solidified liquid medicine, poured it into a container that had been prepared long ago, sealed it, and told Sigrid that it must be burned thoroughly with fire when it is handled later.

Seeing Lulu take out a new container, new materials, and start a new round of refining, Lu Yu hurriedly persuaded: "You just failed, it's good to take a break and change your mood."

Lulu said lightly: "There is no time, my rank seal and body seal must be solved quickly. Sera must have encountered unimaginable troubles for not coming back for so long. She can't get out of it with her ability, and I can't help her now."

"Lu Yu, I know you are looking for Sera's whereabouts... I am not as good as you in this aspect... Where Sera is now, I will leave it to you."

"She is my friend..."
