Chapter 9 9 White Wolf's Gratitude

Chapter 9 9. White Wolf's Repayment

No longer need to eat sticky slime, and there is a high probability that there will be no need to think about food reserves for a period of time in the future. This sense of security makes the beef particularly delicious.

Lu Yu naturally couldn't feed Lulutis himself. After he rinsed it, he picked up the beef with chopsticks and asked Lulutis to stretch out his tentacles to take it.

After all, he couldn't find where Lulutis's mouth was.

Lulutis was not interested in the damp chili powder, and ate the beef slices quickly with salt.

They agreed to eat together, but Lu Yu had time to eat his own food only after feeding Lulutis.

"By the way, your home was blown away and you disappeared. Wouldn't your friends try to find you?"

Lu Yu, who had been thinking about escorting Lulutis home during this period, remembered this.

The tree hole suddenly became quiet, and the wind blowing in through the gaps in the baffle tried hard to blow away the diffused silence.

"No one will come to see me."

Lu Yu realized that his question might be a mistake, so he even chewed less.

Diving into the topic of why no one would come to see Lulutis would only make the awkward atmosphere continue, and he was eager to find a new topic.

Although the two had been together for more than half a month, both sides were very cautious not to explore each other's past. At most, they would occasionally mention it during casual chats, and then they would laugh and talk about other things.

Lu Yu did not intend to break this tacit understanding. It was originally like this when getting along with others. If they were willing to talk, they would naturally talk. If they were unwilling, asking would only make you look particularly gossipy.

"I have some problems with my background, so I am not very popular, so no one will care about what happened to me."

Perhaps what happened today made both parties confirm that the other party was a qualified companion. Unexpectedly, Lulutis continued the topic.

Faced with this thread that was obviously thrown out by Lulutis to let him advance the topic, Lu Yu did not hesitate.

"None?"

"None."

After a pause, Lulutis added, "There was one before."

"That princess?" Lu Yu clearly remembered that Lulutis helped someone suppress a riot.

"Yes, it's her, but we can't be friends anymore."

"She used me to suppress the riots for her and gain capital to seize power."

"I hate being dragged into the struggle by her friendship, so I left the capital and went to the wilderness to build my own mansion."

"Lu Yu, if you send me home and the magician doesn't work out, and you want to live under my protection, it's not too late to change this request now."

Lulutis suddenly laughed: "My home is not fun at all, and it's very deserted. I probably need to rebuild it after I go back."

"Of course, if you have low requirements, there is still basic living security. After all, a seventh-level magician can live well by occasionally going out to make some extra money."

Before, Lulutis said that she was not a young lady, Lu Yu didn't believe it. After all, people like her who have little experience, high achievements, and are out of touch with reality in the details of life often have a taste of superiority.

But no one came to find her even after her family was blown up, and she even said that her origin was questionable, which made Lu Yu doubt Lulutis's family background.

Lu Yu ate a bite of beef and said indifferently: "I won't change it."

"Are you sure?"

"I came here to play survival games with a group of small animals for a whole month, and my psychological expectations have been very low."

"If I don't have any achievements in magic, then I will definitely need a lot of time to study my own way out, and your protection is still indispensable."

"This is the retreat I chose for myself, I won't change it."

Lulutis's tentacles gently pressed on Lu Yu's forehead, but he subconsciously pushed them away.

"I remember very clearly that you just used these two tentacles to grab meat and eat it. Have you washed your hands?"

Lulutis originally wanted to complete an ineffective promise in advance with the etiquette of a magician concluding a contract to show her attention to Lu Yu's request.

She also thought about it, and then she would immediately sign a formal contract with Lu Yu after unsealing part of the contract on her body.

Lu Yu's move, coupled with his words, immediately broke the atmosphere that Lulutis had brewed.

Lulutis was furious when she thought of her wish to take this guy so seriously.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Wash, I'll go out and rub the snowflakes, hum!"

Lu Yu didn't understand what Lulutis was humming about. Is it necessary to be angry about washing your hands?

He could understand that the tentacles came over and planned to enter the study time. After all, it was indeed time for the two to do homework together.

But you have to wash your hands first.

Is it polite to touch your head with a tentacle that has touched meat and oil?

Do you know how torturous it is to take a shower in such a cold weather, and how much courage it takes?

Lu Yu and Lulutis basically stayed in the tree hole for a month to urge each other and speed up the loading of the language module.

During this period, Lu Yu and Lulutis once again returned to the place where the Earl's eldest son was annihilated.

The monsters and beasts who were having a party cleaned this place very cleanly, and even took the bones to other places.

Lulutis said that in this situation, even experienced magicians and adventurers would not be able to find any useful information.

The feeding party of monsters and beasts destroyed all traces, and the evidence of the existence of this group of people in this world was also annihilated.

All the food that was not taken away in time disappeared, and the cows were eaten until only some skeletons were left.

The naan that Lu Yu thought was too plain and too hard, and no monster would eat it, also disappeared.

Regarding Lu Yu's idea, Lulutis told him very considerately that not only slimes are omnivorous creatures.

Fortunately, there are no omnivorous monsters in this area that like to devour gold and iron, so the swords and armor on the ground are preserved intact.

After searching for a while, Lu Yu was very happy to pick a decorative topaz from the hilt of a sword with the help of Lulutis, which was also a small fortune.

As for the mithril armor that could obviously sell for a good price, Lu Yu did not take it.

Lulutis was very curious why Lu Yu, who had been planning his expenses and considering travel expenses, let go of this valuable stuff.

"No matter where I take this topaz to exchange, I can say that I got it by accident."

"A set of mithril armor, which is not suitable for my body size, and I am not a magician who can enchant, but I carry it with me and sell it everywhere."

"The earl's eldest son just died. If I make a slight association, I will be suspected no matter how I explain it."

"Just leave it there. The battle scars on the armor will tell anyone who picks it up that the earl's eldest son died at the hands of monsters."

"What ability do you have, what money do you make. Money beyond your ability, even if you get it, may not be kept, and may also bring disaster."

"Before you and I have enough power to deal with external crises, we must seek stability in everything."

Lu Yu said his creed.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and monsters lacking food will naturally become more and more active.

Lu Yu, who insisted on stability to the end, returned to the tree hole and arranged the collected branches outside again, and the warning range was expanded again.

The language module was loaded at the most critical moment, and Lu Yu and Lulutis began to sprint on the grammar link.

Every day in the tree hole, the two of them practice speaking awkwardly.

One person speaks in an extremely stiff Esperanto, and the other speaks in Chinese with a strange accent.

When these two people stand together and talk, it's like a chicken talking to a duck.

Lulutis thinks that Lu Yu's Esperanto is as flat as a road run over by a carriage, without even a little ups and downs in tone, and it sounds the same.

Lu Yu thinks that Lulutis's Chinese will never have a flat tongue, and has the same problems as himself.

But after they laughed at each other, they quickly realized one thing.

Although it was awkward, at least it was understandable and clear.

After learning Lulutis's so-called Esperanto, Lu Yu discovered a lot of wonderful misunderstandings in pronunciation, and these "misunderstandings" became encrypted codes between him and Lulutis.

Just when Lulutis was about to explain the meaning of the words again, a crisp "pop" startled the two.

Lu Yu immediately looked at the burning branches in the bonfire, while Lulutis immediately floated to the baffle of the tree hole and looked out.

Blue eyes lit up in the darkness, and with the flickering light in his eyes, the uninvited guest was getting closer and closer to the tree hole.

The branches buried under the snow made crisp sounds one after another, warning Lu Yu of the danger.

Lu Yu, who came to the baffle, naturally saw this scene, but he and Lulutis were not afraid, but a little surprised.

The white wolf held a slime with its juice drained and its body shriveled, and slowly walked to the entrance of the tree hole.

The unfortunate slime had been beaten by the white wolf to the point of being almost broken into two pieces, and the soft body tissue inside was also covered with a layer of ice in the cold weather.

The white wolf put the slime on the ground, pushed it towards the tree hole with its claws, crouched down slightly, and stared at the entrance with its huge eyes.

Lu Yu wanted to see Lulutis's expression, but Lulutis had no face.

"Let's go out and take a look. They are carrying slimes. They can't be trying to lure us out and eat them all at once." Lu Yu said, "The meat we have is not enough for him to consume to hunt slimes."

The wind was howling tonight. When he walked out of the tree hole, the snow spots hit Lu Yu's face and hurt him. He only felt the sound of ghosts and wolves howling all around him.

Seeing Lu Yu walk out, the white wolf used his mouth to push the slime hard, letting it slide in front of the two of them.

Lulutis flipped the slime with his tentacles and said, "Another unlucky jungle slime."

Lu Yu's mouth smelled of grass for no reason.

Who would eat slimes when there is beef to eat...

But the white wolf was obviously here to thank them for their previous treatment. He finally found a slime. If he didn't accept it, the white wolf might have to find other strange things to fight with.

The slime that was brought back by then might not be such a friendly-looking slime...

And the white wolf might get hurt again.

It was rare for a creature in this remote forest to show kindness to them. Lu Yu and Lu Lutis felt it was inappropriate to put the other party in danger because of a misunderstanding.

Take it, take it. Now that we have seasonings, maybe we can make the slime porridge taste better?
