Chapter 140
Si Li and the Night Elf Queen have a special relationship. If they can gain trust through this test, the Night Elf tribe may become another major ally of Lu Lin in the future.
After a brief thought, Lu Lin made a decision.
"I actually know very little about the detailed plan," Lu Lin said, "Of course, I will tell you what I know."
"As for why the reinforcements I mentioned before are involved, the reason is actually very simple."
"They are from the Tianri Cult, and we got the Lieyang Order issued by them. With this token, we can ask them to help once."
"As for why I am involved in this matter."
Lu Lin said, exhaled lightly, looked into the queen's eyes, and said seriously: "First of all, Si Li and I are friends. She has helped me a lot, so I am willing to help her."
Hearing this, the queen frowned slightly.
It seems that this is not the answer she wants.
But Lu Lin has not finished speaking.
"But, I am willing to help her, but I won't risk my life with her just because we are friends."
"This matter is quite dangerous. The opponent is the Netherworld Cult with strange means. On the way, in order to get the aid order from the Sun Cult, we also went to the territory of a master wizard to play."
"To be honest, if it was just because of friendship, I would definitely not get involved so much..."
"The reason why I am involved until now and have tried my best to help throughout the whole process is actually because Si Li made me a promise."
"She promised that after destroying the Netherworld Cult, she could help me get a trophy, and that is something I must get."
Hearing this, the queen frowned, and seemed a little surprised at Lu Lin's straightforwardness.
But it is not difficult to see from her newly stretched eyebrows that this reason is actually more acceptable to her than what she just said.
But, she still seems a little confused.
"The spoils of war," she touched her chin, "Is there anything in the Netherworld Church that is worth thinking about?"
"Of course," Lu Lin nodded, "That is the Philosopher's Stone left by the founder of the Netherworld Church."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen's eyes widened for a moment, and then she laughed directly.
"Haha, Nether Crystal, that's no wonder, although I hate that thing, but after all, it is the Philosopher's Stone, it is indeed the treasure that alchemists desire," she said, looking at Lu Lin with a somewhat complicated look, "But I really didn't expect that an alchemist who didn't even reach the master level would actually have the idea of the Philosopher's Stone. No wonder Si Li has such a high opinion of you... But then again, I have to ask one thing first, can you tell me, after getting the Nether Crystal, what do you plan to do with it?"
After that, the queen stared at Lu Lin seriously, carefully observing every inch of expression on Lu Lin's face.
The Nether Crystal was the cause of the destruction of their hometown. She had to find out what Lulin was going to do with this dangerous thing.
If Lulin was going to do the same thing as the founder of the Nether Cult...
If Lulin was going to form a new Nether Cult...
If Lulin was also going to use this thing to destroy the sea...
For a moment, countless worries flashed through the queen's mind.
However, what she didn't expect was that Lulin's answer was completely beyond her expectations.
"I want to refine a familiar."
Lulin said.
"I need that thing as its core."
Chapter 231 Getting better doesn't necessarily mean getting better
The night elf queen was lying flat on the beach, her whole body lying straight, looking at the night sky, with a face full of doubts about life.
Lulin's statement was too outrageous.
An alchemist who was not even a master, in order to make a familiar for himself, actually thought of the Philosopher's Stone.
If this was said out, it would only be laughed at.
So when Lu Lin said this at first, her first reaction was that Lu Lin was fooling her.
But Lu Lin acted very seriously, with a serious and sincere face, and he didn't look like he was joking at all.
But...
This was too hard to accept after all, so she asked a few more questions in detail.
Lu Lin didn't hide it, and told her directly that he couldn't summon a familiar, and said that for some unknown reasons, he wanted to have a familiar, and this was the only way.
Lu Lin said it sincerely, and the Queen didn't see any flaws.
But to make people believe this bizarre statement, it's not enough to just say it.
Moreover, the Night Elf Queen has lived for so long, and she has never heard of anyone who can't even summon a familiar.
So she made a decision.
She wanted to help Lu Lin summon a familiar herself.
Lu Lin naturally had no objection to the other party's decision.
If a great wizard like the Night Elf Queen is willing to help people summon a familiar, then if it were someone else, they would laugh in their dreams.
Although Lu Lin felt that the success rate was not high, he had to give it a try when such a good thing happened.
Seeing Lu Lin's agreement, the Queen did not hesitate to set up the summoning array and began to try to help Lu Lin summon the familiar.
Then.
She lay here like this.
Should I say that she is worthy of being the one who raised Si Li? Lu Lin felt that he had seen this episode before.
When Si Li failed to help him summon a day demon, she also had this expression.
"Um, Queen, are you okay?" Lu Lin asked cautiously.
The Night Elf Queen turned to look at Lu Lin and said, "Tell me the truth, did you do something that angered the heavens and the people, so you were blacklisted by the entire magic plane?"
"Do I look like someone who has that ability?" Lu Lin's mouth twitched.
"It's really a ghost..." The Night Elf Queen muttered, "Oh, forget it, I believe you, anyway, you seem to have a lot of secrets."
As she said that, the Queen sat up.
She turned her head to look at Lu Lin, then at Li Mi, and after a moment of silence, she said: "Okay, I agree to your request. As long as you can destroy the Netherworld Cult, the Nether Crystal will belong to you."
When Lu Lin heard this, he was delighted and immediately saluted and said: "Thank you, Queen!"
"There is no one else here, don't do these nonsense," the queen waved her hand, "but... in the future, please take care of Si Li for me."
"Of course," Lu Lin smiled, "but to be honest, she is the one who takes care of me most of the time."
"It is natural to help each other, but that's not what I want to say," said the Night Elf Queen, "This child's basic skills and knowledge are already very solid. If she wants to go further, she also lacks experience and knowledge."
"But going out for experience, it is much more dangerous to go alone than to go with a companion."
"People of our tribe The character is somewhat eccentric. I have always been worried that it may not be easy for this child to make reliable friends..."
Then the Queen of Night Elf glanced at Lu Lin and asked meaningfully: "It should be considered her luck to meet you, right?"
"Well, I understand what you mean," Lu Lin smiled, "It is not easy to meet reliable friends when traveling outside. I also cherish this friendship with Si Li. What's more, we are from the same faction, and she has helped me so much before. I will definitely treat her as my best friend."
"That's the best," the Queen of Night Elf nodded, "But then again... there is actually something I have always been concerned about."
"What is the relationship between the earth spirit that has been following Xiao Li and her?"
When Lu Lin heard this question, he was stunned for a moment.
It's not that he didn't think that the Queen would ask this question, but he didn't know much about it.
In their strange little team that was recently formed, the person who was closest to Si Li was undoubtedly Lan Jie.
But to talk about the reason why they are so close...
In fact, apart from Lan Jie, it seems that Si Li can't have too many interactions with other people.
Lu Lin always has a lot of things to do, and his mind is on Li Mi all day long.
Li Mi only follows Lu Lin all year round, so naturally he doesn't have much contact with Si Li.
Jack Zhengyi and Si Li are born to be incompatible. When the two discuss serious matters, Lu Lin's request for them is to be thankful that they can't quarrel. In private, they don't talk to each other.
As for Tie Zhu.
Chatting with Tie Zhu is really a bit embarrassing.
As for Mingyue and Nuanyang, although Si Li will give these two girls some lessons at the request of Jack Zhengyi, Jack Zhengyi is very afraid that Si Li will lead these two girls astray, so in fact, he only lets Si Li give them pure knowledge education, and there is no private interaction at all.
Looking around, it seems that when Si Li wants to find someone to chat and play chess on weekdays, Lan Jie is the only choice.
That's why, although the two of them often stay together, Lu Lin can't be sure whether there is any special feeling between them.
As for judging from some daily details of getting along...
It feels like Lan Jie is like a wooden man, and Si Li looks sleepy all day long, and treats Lan Jie more like a younger brother.
But then again, Lan Jie doesn't seem to have any objection to being ordered around, and Si Li doesn't seem to have to go to Lan Jie when she has something to do or is particularly bored...
"Friends... right?" Lu Lin gave a very uncertain answer.
It feels like it's possible to say that they are a big sister and a little brother, and it's also possible to say that they have an ambiguous relationship.
Both are possible, so Lu Lin simply gave a middle answer.
"You're not sure?" The queen seemed a little surprised.
"To be honest, it is true," Lu Lin scratched his head, "Anyway, the two of them have a good relationship, but there is no special relationship, I don't know how they see each other."
"Hey, so, isn't that the most interesting stage..." The queen touched her chin, with a smile on her face, and whispered softly.
"Ah? What?" Lu Lin didn't hear clearly.
"No, nothing," the queen waved her hand, "Anyway, I know everything I want to know. With your living habits, it's actually past bedtime, right? Sorry to disturb you so late, you should go to rest, I have to go back too."
"Ah, okay, take care..." Lu Lin didn't finish his words, he only felt a gust of sea breeze blowing, and the figure of the night elf queen had turned into a black shadow in the dark night, whooshing away.
"It's still the same as before, running faster than a big black mouse..." Thinking of a rather rude complaint in his mind, Lu Lin returned to the small house he rented.
After completing the treatment, Li Mi fell asleep and was now lying on the small bed in the house, sleeping peacefully.
The moonlight outside shone in a little, reflecting on Li Mi's hair, making her hair look as if it was glowing slightly.
Lu Lin suddenly realized that Li Mi's hair color, which had turned dark since her soul was suppressed by the White Witch, was now gradually approaching its original color.
It can be seen that the scars in her soul are really about to heal.
But...
Looking at Li Mi's gradually frowning brows and her hands tightly grasping the pillow, Lu Lin's expression had to be solemn again.
What he had been worried about recently finally happened.
Chapter 232: If this revenge is not avenged, it is useless to live in the world
Li Mi's past PTSD was too serious.
It was so serious that the self-protection mechanism her body had developed to fight it was also extremely powerful.
Completely giving up thinking made her even subconscious no longer active.
On the one hand, this made it almost impossible for her to act like an ordinary person, but at the same time it also gave her absolute protection.
As long as she was not subjected to special stimulation, she could be completely free from the troubles of past memories.
The intrusive memory that was the most troublesome for PTSD patients could also be basically ignored by her protection mechanism.
But, this was the situation in the past.
At present, Li Mi's condition has improved a lot, and the damage to her soul is expected to be completely cured.
Although Lu Lin is not sure how much the damage to the soul is related to the mental state, at least one thing is certain.
Li Mi's extreme self-protection system is gradually becoming ineffective as her condition improves.
Now she has basically regained the ability to take care of herself like ordinary people.
Although she still follows Lu Lin every day and wants Lu Lin to feed her and even help her take a bath sometimes, in fact, if necessary, she can take care of herself without relying on Lu Lin.
Moreover, although she still refuses to speak now, she can fully understand and remember Lu Lin's words and even the conversations of everyone.
