MTL - My Summons Are Weird-Chapter 3 1 The beginning of the cut
How do you evaluate the taste of the stewed slime?
Biting like eating jelly, slippery.
The taste is like a jelly without seasonings, and it can also taste some obvious earthy flavors.
Lu Yu stopped after just two or three bites. On the one hand, it didn't suit his appetite, on the other hand, he needed to save food.
Seeing that Lu Yu only ate a little bit, he used his tentacle to skin the wolf while using another tentacle to eat Slime Lulutis spoke.
"Aren't you going to eat?" Lulutis, who misunderstood Lu Yu, comforted, "Actually, you have already cooked very well. There are no spices, only a little salt and a little oil. It's very good to be able to do it like this."
Because Lulutis pulled him at a critical moment, Lu Yu was less wary now. After all, helping each other is the most important thing.
Hearing Lulutis' voice, Lu Yu slowly shook his head, whipped up a wooden stick, and poked the charcoal fire in the fire pit.
"Lu Yu, let's talk."
After eating the slime in the bowl, Lulutis stopped skinning the wolf and patted each other humanely.
With this serious look, Lu Yu has already guessed what the next topic will be.
"I know, we're not familiar yet, you're wary of me."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and responded calmly, "Your style is not a plus point for me."
Knowing that Lulutis was trying to bring her closer by saving her during the day, so that they could communicate further, Lu Yu also expressed his inner scruples frankly.
"I understand."
Lulutis was silent for a while, and the black mist body seemed to freeze.
"I hope you can help me get me back to the way I was."
The bonfire that Lu Yu stirred with a wooden stick, coupled with the cold wind pouring in outside the tree hole, made the inside of the tree hole flicker.
Lu Yu's face sank in the dark, and the firelight only illuminated half of his cheek.
Lulutis didn't know what Lu Yu was thinking, but the expressionless Lu Yu made her want to say something more.
"What can I get?"
Just when Lulutis was going to add something, Lu Yu spoke lightly.
"what do you want?"
Saying that, Lulutis took a sip of the juice she got from that slime today.
In her words, these juices are rich in magic elements, and although they are not helpful to her condition, they can make up for the huge loss of maintaining spiritual magic.
I don't know how long this can of slime juice will last.
Lu Yu shook his head and smiled.
"If you ask me to speak, any request I say may exceed the limit of your ability. It's like... I want to have a lot of wealth, and the wealth is unmatched. Do you have the ability to give me?"
Lulutis' tentacles swayed vigorously, indicating that it was indeed impossible.
"So, please think about how much you can pay for 'helping you get back to your original state'."
Seeing Lulutis thinking seriously, and the black mist surrounding her body tending to solidify again, Lu Yu also had a basic judgment on Lulutis' portrait.
It's unclear how strong the young magician is.
Whether she has a wealth of knowledge or not, since she doesn't know much about the world, she can't judge.
She responded so quickly to the sneak attack on the slime in the morning, and she revealed before that she was inventing a new type of potion...
If there are no mistakes or omissions in the spiritual magic, and the meaning of the word 'invention' is confused, it is enough to prove that she is somewhat capable.
I don't want to be favored by others in vain.
From the conversations so far, I can feel her good upbringing, not to mention her character.
Also, the experience seems to be insufficient.
Lu Yu glanced at Lulutis, whose tentacles were intertwined, like a ball of yarn formed under the body of Black Mist.
It's too stupid to save yourself in the morning, to find the right time to meet frankly, but not to prepare a few bargaining chips in advance.
And Lulutis easily agreed to Lu Yu's proposal, let her say what she can offer...
Lu Yu was convinced that when she went out to buy food, she should be the kind of person who would be fooled by the stall owner with a few words.
"Sorry, I really can't think of anything I can give you for a while... The only thing I can guarantee is that you can get the friendship of a seventh-order magician."
"If you are very thirsty for money, I can try to meet your request for the amount within my ability..."
Lulutis spoke very sincerely and convinced Lu Yu that she was indeed a young lady with very little experience and a good family background.
However, compared to the information Lu Yu had already summed up, he was more curious about the seventh-order magician that Lulutis mentioned.
"Sorry, I have no idea about the seventh-order magician, please explain?"
"Rank is the dividing line of magician's strength, which is assessed by magician's associations or local regimes in various places."
"The first level is an entry-level magician. The higher the level, the stronger the magician's strength."
The voice that echoed in Lu Yu's mind suddenly became louder and full of momentum.
Lu Yu was stunned. Although he already had the answer in his heart, he couldn't help but ask.
"A seventh-order magician, how many?"
"I also said that the higher the level, the stronger the magician's strength, and the fewer the number of magicians."
"Then how old are you?"
"Seventeen." Lulutis said calmly, "I don't know about other places. In the Solon Empire where I am, I am the youngest seventh-order magician."
Lu Yu choked.
Seventeen years old, seventh grade…
Are all the sorcerers of the Solonian Empire monsters?
This is a perfect fit for Lu Yu's speculation.
There is a high probability that Lulutis came from the noble class.
Although Lu Yu had been in the wilderness survival mode during the time he had crossed over, he still had a good brain.
Knights and infantry in steel armor seen while foraging for food.
I accidentally saw a group of suspected adventurers holding cold weapons to slash and cast spells with staff.
From these few details, it is not difficult to see that the governing systems of many regimes in this global context basically cannot escape the feudal stereotype.
As a part of this world, magic is a power that can influence the regime. As long as the brains of those in power are not broken, the channels and resources for cultivating magicians will be limited accordingly.
"Seventeen years old is a seventh-order magician, it feels very cheap." Lu Yu slapped sideways.
Lulutis, who seemed very proud to talk about magicians, really added an explanation.
"Cheap?" Lulutis said sternly, "I don't know what form magicians exist in your world, and I don't know what their status is..."
"In our place, not everyone can awaken a magician, talent, ability, channel, knowledge..."
Lu Yu interrupted Lulutis, and his information was all messed up.
Lulutis would still like to thank him for being the one who could hear the words. In exchange for her poor personality, she could make her doubt her life.
It is enough to know that magicians are not street goods.
There are thresholds, depending on talent, ability, need channels, knowledge accumulation, and resources...
The corner of Lu Yu's mouth rose.
He knew what he should ask Lulutis for.
"The friendship of a seventh-order magician is too broad, and it is useless if you have money or strength." Lu Yu said slowly, "Why don't you help me become a magician."
As a seventh-order magician, Lulutis, once the two start to cooperate with each other, they will be together for a long time.
During this period of time, she taught herself and gradually embarked on the path of a magician. Having the power to protect herself is obviously the best choice.
And... Since they came here inexplicably, Lu Yu also planned to live a different life and have a new identity.
Thinking of this, Lu Yu added with a smile: "I won't be demanding to be a seventh-order magician, you just make me a sixth-order magician."
Lulutis' voice was trembling, and the words echoing in Lu Yu's mind were somewhat vague.
Lulutis picked up the jar of slime juice and took a few more sips, which stabilized the mental magic that showed signs of collapse.
Lu Yu felt that his communication with Lulutis was like opening a private chat room, and Lulutis, who was in charge of providing signals, could always be disconnected from the Internet.
"I'm sorry I can't give you this guarantee. There are many uncertain factors in the awakening of a magician. I have also seen examples of being born in a family of magicians but unable to become entry-level magicians."
"In the absence of certainty that you can wake up, any guarantee I make is a deception to you."
Lu Yu applauded gently, looking at Lulutis with admiration in his eyes, even the black mist that kept surging was pleasing to the eye.
This time, Lu Yu completely let go of his defenses.
According to what he said before, Lu Yu already knew that the magician needs to have a "awakening" process, which was specifically pointed out by Lulutis, which is enough to prove that it is a hurdle.
After he made a request, as long as Lulutis agreed casually, Lu Yu would be wary.
But Lulutis reiterated this detail again, and said it very bluntly.
With sincerity for sincerity, Lu Yu said with a smile: "I have two requirements in total. The matter of becoming a magician can be finalized after leaving here, and the second one is relatively simple."
"Whether I wake up to become a magician or not, after you return to your original state, I hope to get your protection. In the worst case, I hope to eat and wait in your mansion to die."
It shouldn't be a big problem to raise an idler for a family that can cultivate such a young magician.
Taking advantage of their shelter, he can be considered a way out, and he can find a way out during this period.
Lulutis was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement with Lu Yu's request.
Seeing Lu Yu, who was assured by himself, happily lying on the straw pile with his hands on the back of his head, Lulutis couldn't help asking curiously.
"You don't ask me what needs to be done to restore it to the original state, and you don't worry that the process will be bumpy and the journey is extremely dangerous?"
Lu Yu turned his face sideways, revealing a set of white teeth.
He smiled and said, "Why worry, the worst is nothing but death."
"Lulutis, do you know how I got here this month?"
"I came to this world inexplicably, and I couldn't understand the language. In order to get information, I went around to explore, and I saw a team of knights stabbed to death a homeless person with a spear from a distance."
"Behind them are a group of dirty, scrawny slaves or prisoners who have their hands tied and whipped with whips."
"At that moment, I realized that I, a person who did not understand their language, appeared rashly and either died or became a slave."
"And I will never be a slave!" Lu Yu said firmly.
"I can't get in touch with humans, so I can only live in this tree hole all day."
"At night, the roars of the nearby animals come and go one after another. This makes me have to hold a knife every day when I sleep."
"This knife is either for the beast that rushed into the tree hole, or for myself..."
This is Lu Yu's true feeling over the past month.
Fear and loneliness haunt him all the time. The most important thing is that he can't see the reason for him to endure so hard. He can't be a savage in this tree hole all his life, right?
If Robinson can play farming on a desert island, that's because there are no ruthless characters on the island.
But what about him?
There may be so many ruthless characters in this forest that they can be sold as blind boxes for half a year without duplicates.
Lu Yu was lucky. According to what Lulutis gave him on his return trip today, he was able to avoid some troublesome monsters in a month because the weather was getting colder.
Lu Yu was also unfortunate. He clearly came to a strange world, but he could only hide in a tree hole tremblingly, feeling uneasy, unable to even see this world.
The appearance of Lulutis gave him hope, not only the hope of leaving here, but also the hope of integrating into this world.
Lulutis needs his help to restore the original state, why doesn't Lu Yu need Lulutis to lead the way for him?
"Do I need to sign a contract?" Lu Yu asked jokingly.
Lulutis asked angrily, "Do you think I can do that kind of thing?"
"Then, let's shake hands." Lu Yu stretched out his hand, "We need to work together for a long time in the future."
One of Lulutis' tentacles wrapped around Lu Yu's outstretched hand and shook it gently.
Strange, why is the texture of this tentacle so sticky...
Lulutis, what kind of potion did you toss with to create this look?
