Chapter 24: Fighting with Heads

Chapter 24 24. Fighting with Heads

Under the moonlight, a team of more than 100 knights is returning from the east of Yas King City.

In the cold winter three months ago, Yas King City sent many well-trained knights to the front line to help in order to prevent goblins from attacking border posts in the cold weather.

Now that the cold winter has faded and the snow has melted, this group of royal descendants led by some nobles have gradually returned.

Andrew Turner is among those who are returning today.

As the eldest son of the Viscount family, he was already a second-level magician at the age of sixteen. Many people are optimistic that the Turner family will be promoted to earl in the next few years with the trust of the royal family.

During this winter rescue, he was assigned the task of entertaining the troops and received unanimous praise from the two great lords on the front line.

When he was destroying the Goblin Underground Labyrinth, he crushed and killed more than a dozen Goblins with boulders, which made the fine steel adventurers admire him.

On the way back, the family knights led by Andrew were all smiling at the thought of being reunited with their families.

Andrew was the same.

This excellent performance gave him a little courage to fight with his father.

The knights dispersed in the suburbs of the royal city and returned to the manors of their respective nobles.

Andrew returned to his manor without stopping, and a servant immediately came forward.

Andrew got off the horse and threw the reins into his hand: "Nothing happened at home, right?"

"Everything is fine at home. I heard that you killed more than a dozen goblins with a magic in the East Territory. The master was very happy at the banquet and boasted about your magic to many people."

Andrew tutted in displeasure.

"By the way, Master, the house that has never been rented out has been rented out."

The servant smiled so hard that all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, "Master said that this is all the good luck you brought."

Andrew was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly: "Which one..."

"It's the one where those unlucky magicians died of poisoning while mixing potions. Damn it, they ruined the family's financial resources and spread a lot of rumors, making the place unpopular and gloomy."

"It's good now. Someone has moved in. The rumors will soon die down."

The servant didn't notice Andrew's gradually stiffening face at all, but reported what he thought was the "good news" on his own.

"Who rented it, an adventurer? A wealthy businessman?" Andrew asked, "My father has already lowered the price, so I can't just rent it to someone randomly, right?"

"I heard that it was a nobleman who traveled from afar and visited many places."

"I went to see it on the day of the rental. He was just a poor nobleman, with a good-looking servant who was acting arrogantly. He is nothing compared to our family."

Andrew's face turned pale, and he slapped the servant hard.

I was too lazy to explain. Do you need to give a reason to teach a servant a lesson?

Andrew jumped on the horse, pointed at the servant with the whip and ordered: "Just say that I forgot to report to the teacher and I won't be back tonight. Do you understand?"

The stunned servant knelt down and said yes repeatedly in panic.

Andrew galloped on the main road outside the royal city, anxious.

He only hoped that the noble who rented it was a person with a little bit of quality, and would not refuse to return the things he left behind after finding them.

If not, this matter is really hard to explain clearly.

…

In the room where Sigrid lived, the cracked mirror hanging on the wall was shaking.

Because Lu Yu followed Lulutis to practice magic and conduct summoning experiments, the magic power in this area surged frequently.

As if resonating with these magic powers, the mirror shook more and more, as if it had life and was breathing.

The cat-eared girl summoned by Lu Yu perfectly completed the contract requirements and removed the wildly growing weeds in the courtyard.

Not to mention, watching the beautiful girl working hard in the courtyard while sitting aside and yelling, this feeling is not much different from that of a landlord.

Based on this summoning, Lu Yu confirmed one thing.

Even if the summoned creature does not perform special and complex work, the magic power required is still huge.

For work like weeding, it is even more cost-effective to use wind magic to mow the grass than to use summoning magic to find someone to help. No wonder every summoner basically improves summoning in the direction of killing.

If you are not facing danger, using summoning is definitely a waste of time and magic power.

Summoning is a killer, not a panacea.

Unless you are a real "art" pursuer, it is typical that you have a brain hole to waste magic power and make yourself dizzy just to find a beautiful woman to weed for you.

No wonder Lulutis has been teaching him all kinds of simple and easy-to-learn magic. She is really afraid that he will stick to the path of summoner and go astray, and is unwilling to learn anything else.

Lu Yu thinks Lulutis is really suitable to be a teacher.

She can package boring learning into something very interesting.

For example, she uses the spell-casting action to make Lu Yu have a strong connection with a certain magic, and then achieve the ability to cast magic quickly without thinking.

Snapping fingers binds the wind magic that can create a whirlwind.

Pointing the index finger forward, the thumb is raised to bind the small fireball that Lu Yu has always mentioned.

When you are proficient, Lulutis will switch to the next group. After a few times, Lu Yu has formed muscle memory and can cast magic instantly without action binding.

These things are simple to say, but if the person teaching you is not serious, or does not mention those key points, many people will not be able to get started if they just explore on their own.

Lu Yu felt like he was back in class again, except that his previous teacher was a human and his current teacher was a tentacle monster.

She always loves to "dance" and twist around in class, making it difficult for people to take their eyes away from her.

When Lu Yu completed the last set of basic magic training, Lulutis shouted stop.

Lulutis' calculations were really good. She always rested when Lu Yu's magic power was about to dry up, and would never let Lu Yu enter a state of collapse and damage his body.

"Are you still practicing?" Lu Yu asked while panting.

Lulutis was shocked by Lu Yu's learning ability and enthusiasm. That night, she taught so fast and with such dense knowledge that Lu Yu actually followed her.

She had guided Lu Yu to summon him before, mostly because she was curious about what he, as an outsider, could attract.

Now seeing Lu Yu's enthusiasm in learning magic and looking at his talent, Lulutis suddenly remembered the reward that Lu Yu had asked for from her.

"A fifth- or sixth-level magician..."

"If you can really progress at this speed, maybe you can actually do it." Lulutis thought to herself.

Lulutis used her tentacles to help Lu Yu up: "That's it for today. Although you recover quickly, you will feel pain all over your body if you use your magic power too much."

When he opened the door, Lu Yu asked curiously: "Lulutis, what do you think of my study? Do you have the potential to become a fourth-level magician?"

Perhaps it was because he had officially begun to understand the world and magicians that Lu Yu was no longer like when he was in the tree hole. He opened his mouth to speak of the fifth and sixth levels.

Lulutis smiled.

"I think you have the potential to become a seventh-level magician."

Lu Yu was happy and said don't make trouble.

Lulutis was about to tell Lu Yu seriously that she never joked about magic.

The glass fell to the ground, and the loud cracking sound was heard far away in the silent night.

The two people standing at the door of the house chatting were agitated, and Lulutis' black mist body even froze.

"It should be the mirror in Sigrid's room. Yesterday, when I checked the condition of the house, I felt it was cracked and dangerous."

Lulutis' explanation made the alert Lu Yu relax.

"Boom."

There was a dull sound, like something heavy falling to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, strange footsteps sounded from the second floor.

The steps were sometimes light and sometimes heavy, like a person with an unbalanced body unable to control the strength of his footing.

A gust of cold wind blew from Lu Yu's back, and a chill ran down his spine, making him shiver for no reason.

There is no one on the second floor today.

Sigrid set out with the rest of the amateur adventurers rated Shiraki-level by the Royal City Adventurer's Guild.

Although Lulutis's perception is severely weakened, ordinary people can still detect it if they get close.

However, they were practicing in the courtyard with a wide view just now, and no one was found to intrude at all.

What is that on the second floor now?

The footsteps gradually moved from the heads of Lu Yu and Lulutis to near the stairs.

A beam of moonlight shone from the glass on the roof onto the handrail of the stairs, and a pair of slender, sickly white hands appeared there.

It's a girl.

The white suspender skirt swayed with her movements, her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and her beautiful oval face was very clear and expressionless.

Her eyes were strange, very hollow, pitch black, as if they had no pupils.

She just looked straight ahead for several seconds before she seemed to see Lu Yu and Lulutis. She slowly adjusted her perspective and shifted her gaze to the two of them.

Her movements were even stranger.

The girl's body was tilted, and her left foot seemed unable to be straightened. She could not exert any force from the knee joint, so she could only drag her body forward using her right foot as the point of force.

Alarm bells rang in Lu Yu's heart, and he suddenly discovered that the girl in white on the stairs was staring at him.

"Gada."

With a heartbreaking sound, the girl in white's seemingly crippled left leg instantly straightened.

Lu Yu had never seen anyone who could set bones like this, so he had to do it himself!

This guy has his legs straightened and he doesn’t have any expression?

What about pain?

She took two steps at a time and rushed down the stairs, aiming directly at Lu Yu.

Lulutis used her tentacles to throw Lu Yu out of the door, and then she bumped into the girl in white.

Lulutis, who was confused about the girl's origins, chose to use her tentacles to restrain her first.

When they met, Lulutis' tentacles were pushed away by the girl in white with great force.

In response to Lulutis's interference, the girl in white grabbed one of the tentacles, swung it hard, and smashed Lulutis onto the wall, falling heavily.

Before being thrown away, Lulutis shouted: "Throw the unused slime magic core to me!"

At the critical moment, Lu Yu was very clear-headed. He smashed the magic core against Lulutis' body against the ground in an awkward position, avoiding the girl's interception.

Lulutis grabbed the magic core, replenished the magic power, and quickly released the breath.

The girl in white, who ignored Lulutis and was walking towards Lu Yu, slowly turned back and watched Lulutis open her mouth slightly.

"Lu Yu, run!"

"Don't worry about me, just run away, this is...gu..."

Before Lulutis could speak, the girl in white had already reached Lulutis.

Lulutis tried her best to use her tentacles to swat away the girl's hand that was grabbing onto Heiwu's body. Seeing that Lu Yu was still hesitating, she yelled in the Chinese language that Lu Yu was most familiar with.

"I have a way to escape, just run!"

Lu Yu was stunned by the roar, and his feet that were frozen in place took a step forward.

He ran faster and faster, and soon rushed out of the yard.

When the sound of fighting in the house gradually faded away, Lu Yu stopped.

Seeing a metal stick lying on the firewood pile not far away, he gritted his teeth and picked it up with a ferocious look.

As soon as Lu Yu, who was out of breath, returned to the door of the house, he saw this strange girl in white holding down Lulutis's black mist body with one hand and raising the other hand high with a clenched fist.

All of Lulutis's tentacles whipped the girl's body frantically, and even stabbed straight into the girl's throat, but it was useless.

Seeing Lu Yu go back, Lulutis was so anxious that she was smoking, and scolded Lu Yu for being stupid.

Lu Yu, whose brain was a little short of oxygen, saw Lulutis in danger and strode forward.

"I'll fuck you!"

With the momentum of hitting a home run, Lu Yu hit the unsuspecting girl on the side of her face with a stick.

Under the amazing force, the girl's body was tilted, and her head flew out instantly, hitting the wall and rebounding, rolling, and falling not far away.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Lu Yu suddenly became much more sober.

"Is my power so strong?"

Lu Yu, who was doubting himself, was caught by Lulutis who stood up and rushed out.

Lu Yu was about to ask her why she was running, and the next second, he saw a creepy scene.

In the dark, the headless girl used her hands and feet to crawl to the fallen head and picked it up.

The girl rushed outside with her head.

Under the moonlight, the head was smiling at Lu Yu and Lulutis.
