Chapter 125
The two girls surprisingly had no opinions on Jack Zhengyi's arrangement.
Nuanyang has always been a sensible child. The tortured life before made her numb to eating and she was not greedy.
It was just that she was forced to eat too much for a long time, which increased her appetite. If she wanted to reduce her appetite to the level of normal people, she could only try to eat small meals and let her adapt slowly.
As for Mingyue.
This child's behavior is a little like the former Li Mi, taciturn, but obedient to Jack Zhengyi.
Jack Zhengyi didn't know what she was thinking, nor did he know why she obeyed him.
But it didn't matter. Jack Zhengyi believed that as long as life got better, she would open her heart one day.
The one in the worst condition recently was the iron pillar who used to eat and drink every day without worries.
Lu Lin used to think that people like him with "empty brains" should be heartless and live comfortably with food and drink.
But now it seems that Lu Lin was wrong.
Tiezhu's self-esteem is much heavier than Lu Lin imagined, and his mind is definitely not as rough as it looks.
Although Jack Zhengyi has taught him some things recently, it can be seen that he does not think these simple trainings can have any effect.
Seeing that he is frowning all day long, if he continues like this, he might really make himself depressed.
Lu Lin thought about it and finally spent two days drawing a "martial arts secret book". He drew a bunch of Tai Chi postures of grandpas and aunts based on his impression. Finally, he took it to Tiezhu and told him to practice according to the above, and the movements should be slow, the slower the better. If he practices like this for a few years, his strength will change dramatically.
Of course, this is pure deception.
But these movements must be something Tiezhu has never seen before. For those who have never practiced, just the horse stance is enough for him. In addition, the training method of the slower the better is completely contrary to Tiezhu's past cognition. It should be able to fool him for a while, at least let him have something to do now.
When he finds something wrong in the future, Lu Lin will find a way at that time.
A few days passed in a flash, and soon, everyone returned to the familiar Ken'ermier City.
The situation in the city seemed to be no different from when they left, except that the place where they used to open a store had been replaced by someone else.
The mobile earth dragon store is like this, the location changes at any time, and after passing by once, you must go to a new location.
However, this is convenient for Lu Lin. Just when he planned to buy an extra earth dragon, he went to the market to look around, and after choosing one, he directly parked the two earth dragons and Si Li's snail together, which made it easier to move around.
After saying hello to the Yanfeng Gang, Lu Lin can reopen the business at any time.
However, they don't plan to open for business for the time being.
Si Li needs to be busy with the summoning array, and Lu Lin, he is about to take Li Mi out shopping.
"Have you slept enough?" After ten o'clock in the morning, Lu Lin stood in front of Li Mi's bed and rubbed her head.
The latter rubbed her eyes and yawned.
Seeing her like this, Lu Lin thought she was going to continue sleeping, but she stretched out her hands to Lu Lin.
Lu Lin was slightly stunned, looked at his hands, and then looked at Li Mi...
This action, could it be...
Lu Lin felt his face inexplicably hot, cleared his throat, and then bent down and picked up Li Mi.
The latter just put his arms around his neck, leaned his head against his face for a while, and then broke away from his arms and went downstairs slowly, looking like he was going to wash up.
Lu Lin looked at her back, thinking about the touch in his arms just now, and felt his heart pounding.
So, just now...
No, it seems that it's not just just now...
Recalling Li Mi's recent behavior, Lu Lin always felt that many of her actions were like what a girlfriend in love would do.
But Li Mi refused to speak, so Lu Lin was not sure whether she meant it.
It was quite annoying.
"Well, forget it, let's not think about it. Anyway, Li Mi hasn't fully recovered yet," Lu Lin took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
Even if we want to consider this aspect, we have to wait until Li Mi's illness is completely cured.
Turning his head to look at the mirror.
Hmm...
This robe on my body has not been tidied for a while, and many places are stained with dust, and some places are a little wrinkled.
I'd better brush it and iron it later, and then let it dry in the sun.
As for today, it's better to change into a more decent set of clothes.
————
————
About half an hour later, Lu Lin and Li Mi, who had changed into new clothes, went downstairs together.
Lu Lin didn't wear a robe, but a long coat with a common top and trousers in this world. He took off the crow mask and hung it around his waist.
Li Mi didn't bring her killer whale, but wore a black dress, a short long-sleeved coat in a medium gray tone, and a small leather bag for decoration.
Of course, this outfit was chosen by Lu Lin for her. The reason why she didn't bring the killer whale was mainly because she might have to buy a lot of things when she went shopping. The killer whale pillow was too heavy and might be a bit troublesome to carry.
However, just as the two of them packed up and went out, Lu Lin saw a familiar figure in front of the door.
It was an alchemist wearing an owl mask and a black robe.
He was also an executor of the Black Magic School.
Chapter 205 The once beautiful sea has turned into dead water full of corruption
"In other words, the reason why you haven't contacted the school yet is purely because you don't have a familiar?" The voice of the Owl Shixing was confused, "But don't you have a good relationship with that witch? It's not a big deal to just summon a familiar, right?"
"I tried it, and the summoning has always failed," Lu Lin looked helpless, and threw out his own made-up excuse, "This matter may be related to my family bloodline. I have been trying to solve it. If I succeed in summoning a familiar, I will contact the school as soon as possible."
"Is that so? Okay, anyway, I'm glad that you are fine," the Owl Shixing nodded, "I heard from the news that you left the city before, and I was worried that something went wrong."
"Haha, thank you for your concern," Lu Lin smiled, although he actually understood that the other party was so concerned, probably not for him, but for the formula that could bypass the echo violet.
"You're welcome. It's my duty to care about the believers," said Owl. "Also, I want to ask, do you have a grudge against the Netherworld?"
"Isn't that certain? The guy next door is a night elf," Lulin shrugged.
"That's true, but the Netherworld has been silent for many years. If you hadn't had a conflict with them here before, the headquarters would have almost forgotten that there is such a sect," said Owl.
"Is that so," Lulin nodded, "Since you mentioned it, do you have any relevant information?"
"Well, there is indeed a piece of news, but I'm not sure if it's aimed at you," said Owl. "It is said that there is eyewitness information that 'Netherworld' has appeared again in the Land of Chaos."
"'Netherworld'? What is that?" Lulin asked in confusion.
"You don't know?" Owl seemed a little surprised, "Didn't the witch tell you how the night elves and the Netherworld had a grudge?"
"I haven't really said it in detail," Lulin spread his hands.
He did ask about this, but Si Li seemed not to want to talk about related topics, so Lu Lin still didn't understand what happened in this history.
"Is that so? Well, let me briefly tell you what I know," said Owl Xingshi. "You should know that the people of the Netherworld Cult are called 'Nether Beach Walkers', right?"
"Of course," Lu Lin nodded.
"Then do you know what 'Nether Beach' is?" Owl Xingshi asked.
"Some kind of legendary place name with religious color?" Lu Lin guessed.
"No, the so-called Nether Beach refers to the Beach of Death formed where the Nether Cult is located," Owl said. "Although the Night Elves may sound like they have nothing to do with water, in fact, most of their tribes live by the water. Small tribes can be found by the sides of some large lakes, but their largest tribe is located on the seashore in the far east."
"They make a living by fishing, and they are interdependent with the ocean. They rely on the grace of the ocean to develop their race, and at the same time, they also protect the tranquility of the coast."
"It is said that in order not to over-destroy the marine ecology, their tribes will migrate a distance along the coastline every once in a while. This has been the case for thousands of years. They regard the sea as the mother of their tribe. , and the beach they guarded was also regarded as a holy place by them. "
"But later, the Nether Cult appeared."
"The founder of the Nether Cult was a master-level necromancer who created a special necromancy about the soul and spirit, which was named the Nether Curse."
"This spell is extremely powerful, and its ability to control people's minds is also the strongest in the world. Not only that, it is said that it can also affect the souls of others."
"Even in the School of Necromancer, spells involving the soul are very few, and spells that can affect the souls of others are even rarer. Moreover, in the School of Necromancer, where many people have a tendency to transform into liches, spells that can interfere with the souls of others are particularly feared."
"Therefore , since he became famous, many people from the School of Necromancer wanted to learn and communicate with him. It would be great if they could learn some of his ideas, but if they couldn't, they could get a rough idea of his background and feel at ease. "
"But it is said that this master has a bad temper. No matter who came to him for advice, he refused them all, and as a result, he offended many people. "
"Since then, even if he stayed in the School of Necromancer, he began to be targeted everywhere. "
"Later, he may have felt bored staying in the School of Necromancer, so he founded the Netherworld Religion. "
"In fact, when the Netherworld Religion was first founded, the people of the School of Necromancer were very happy. He founded his own sect, which meant that he was far away from the power struggle center of the School of Necromancer, which made many people feel relieved. "
"And According to common sense, the sect he created would become a subordinate sect of the Necromancer School and would continue to serve the Necromancer School in the future. In addition, with an entire sect holding him back, he would certainly not be able to be as selfless as he was in the past. "
"He began to have some desires, which meant that the Necromancer School had room to negotiate with him, which was a great thing for the Necromancer School."
"But what they never expected was that this master had no intention of continuing to mix with the Necromancer School. One month after the establishment of the Netherworld Sect, he sent a message directly to the Necromancer School, declaring that his Netherworld Sect was an independent sect separated from the Necromancer School and had no connection with the Necromancer School. He hoped that the Necromancer School would not send him messages for no reason in the future."
"This matter really irritated the School of Necromancer. Although many people in their school disagreed with this master, many people in the upper echelons of their school saw the potential of the Nether Curse and invested a lot of resources in him."
"Now, after so much effort, they cultivated such a powerful master-level necromancer, but he left without leaving anything behind. Naturally, the upper echelons of their sect could not accept it."
"Therefore, under the instruction of the School of Necromancer and the alliance of its former enemies, the Nether Religion was under tremendous pressure at the beginning of its establishment."
"Although considering the strength of its founder, no one is willing to really fight him head-on, but these forces can still stop its expansion."
"They thought it was very simple. As long as they blocked the expansion of the Nether Religion, when its founder died, the inheritance of the Nether Religion could still be in the hands of the School of Necromancer."
"But what they didn't expect was that in the face of their blockade, this master actually chose to declare war directly."
"This surprised the Nether Religion, because in their view, although the Nether Curse was Although they were powerful, they were not good at group combat, and the Nether Cult had few followers at the time. Even if they temporarily broke through the siege with their personal combat power, they could not develop their own territory afterwards. "
"But they soon found out that they were wrong."
"Because this guy created the 'Nether Beach'."
"He created a curse that would corrode life and cause it to die quickly. At the same time, it would enslave the souls of these creatures and let them be reborn from these dead bones, turning into thousands of monsters of different sizes, shapes and fighting methods, called 'Nether Pollution'."
"He released this 'curse' into the ocean, polluting a large area of the sea, slaughtering all the creatures in the sea, and then using their corpses to create countless monsters, thus breaking through the siege of the Necromancer Cult and conquering a large territory for himself..."
"And this territory is the 'holy land' in the eyes of the night elves."
"And they also witnessed with their own eyes that the beautiful sea that they had guarded for thousands of years and was regarded as the mother of the tribe turned into a dead water full of corruption. "
Chapter 206 Oh no, it's a dirty bomb
Owl stopped talking only when the war broke out between the two sides.
On the one hand, it was because he didn't know much about the detailed history of the war between the two sides.
On the other hand, it was because his purpose of coming here was not to teach Lu Lin a history lesson. It just happened that when he talked about this, Lu Lin asked, so he just chatted casually.
He came here for only two purposes, one was to confirm why Lu Lin didn't contact the school, and the other was to remind him about the "Underworld Pollution".
"There are many types of 'Netherworld Pollution'. All monsters born under the influence of the Nether Beach can be called 'Netherworld Pollution'. Most of the 'Netherworld Pollution' are just undead creatures that are not worth worrying about, but..." The tone of the owl's action was a little solemn, "The 'Netherworld Pollution' witnessed this time seems to be a special type that can become a pollution source."
"If it is really coming for you, you'd better intercept it halfway."
"Otherwise, once this thing runs near this city, it is very likely to be thrown directly into the lake behind the city, and then the entire lake will be transformed into a Nether Beach."
"By then, not only will you be facing not just one 'Netherworld Pollution', but a whole lake of undead."
"And once it develops to this point, even if you can win in the end, as the lake on which this city-state depends for survival turns into dead water, this city-state will also be destroyed."
Hearing the other party's words, Lu Lin's expression also became serious.
He thought that the other party had just sent another unlucky guy to die, but he didn't expect that the other party sent a dirty bomb.
Fortunately, the intelligence network of the Black Magic School sent him a warning in advance, otherwise he might have been surrounded by the Darkness without knowing anything.
Afterwards, Lu Lin asked some questions about the specific location of the other party and the time of their possible arrival, and the Owl Man also answered them.
The other party will come from the southwest, but the specific road cannot be predicted.
The time is also uncertain, but the journey is long. At least according to the speed of the other party in the intelligence, it should take at least half a month to arrive here.
There is plenty of time to prepare for the interception, but facing a monster that can ignore the terrain and move forward, it is still extremely difficult to figure out the route taken by the other party.
"If necessary, remember to let the witch contact the school, we will support you, of course, the price may not be very cheap."
After leaving this sentence, the Owl Man left. Lu Lin wanted to give him two precious herbs as a thank you, but he was directly rejected.
