It was clear that Lulu had obtained the key ingredients for refining medicine, but Lu Yu found that Sera did not appear particularly excited.
After questioning, Lu Yu learned about Lulu's failure rate in refining new medicines.
For example, she refined the transformation potion for Benlong. It took half a year to use countless waste materials. As long as she made money from selling the potion, she immediately bought new materials to try. Therefore, for a long time, Lulu's home is filled with all kinds of strange medicinal smells.
Sera wasn't sure exactly how many materials she had lost in her attempt, but the number of times she refined the medicine was definitely not once, so a Sky Star Flower could only be said to have given Lulu a chance to draw an SSR.
This is also the reason why Sera said it was more appropriate to stop in Colai. Only there would Lulu have more opportunities to draw cards. Returning to the continent of Mera, all forces were secretly paying attention to her situation. As long as she Her refining list is exposed, and everyone will try to choke her.
"I heard that Lulu likes to eat the food you cook?"
I don’t know why Sera asked this, Lu Yu could only answer modestly with a little pride: "I have been robbed of food with my tentacles many times, and Sigrid should have been robbed the most times. of."
Sigrid covered her face in embarrassment.
"Then it seems that she is having a better time than at home during this period." Sierra sighed with emotion.
Sera went to Lulu's house to visit, and the gifts she brought were basically food, because Lulu didn't take care of herself seriously for refining medicine and magic-related matters.
When you get up, you tinker with medicinal herbs, and if you fail, you take a rest. The way to rest is to practice and create new magic. The two things take turns, and they are regarded as a way to adjust each other.
Lulu often finds some wild vegetables and boils them, along with some rice and bread.
Lulu's state is similar to what Lu Yu expected. After all, although she was a child of poor people when she was a child, she has become a person of another class after awakening magic and reaching the sky.
"No matter what kind of magician you are, as long as you become a magician, your family will not go hungry."
This was also Lulu's creed when she was a child. After she finally realized it, she naturally no longer had to worry about making a living. Solon would provide food, shelter, and clothing. Lu Yu could even imagine how much the Solon royal family had gained for the budding Lulu. s concern.
Tanya made an early bet, used her to help with things, and captured her heart as a friend, because she took a fancy to Lulu's strong potential.
In this environment, she doesn't need to think about how to live at all. Everything can be done by servants and slaves. She just needs to say hello, and countless people will work for her.
Leaving Solon meant saying goodbye to this kind of life. Judging from Lulu's behavior when they met, Lu Yu immediately knew that her ability to be independent was very poor... Apart from anything else, in terms of food, she might not even be as good as the food in her own university dormitory. .
But...
"She is a magician, right? She can use a little magic to catch some beasts and eat some meat. Don't tell me that she only eats vegetarian food. During the time we hid in the tree hole together, she ate meat. She was the happiest. Later when I was cooking, she basically didn’t eat green vegetables and only picked meat to eat, just like Sigrid.”
Sigrid scratched her head on the side and thought to herself that as a dragon, it is normal to eat meat, but it is strange to be vegetarian...
Looking at Lulu who was placed on the head by the stupid dragon in the distance, Sera sighed helplessly.
"She lived with Tanya, and naturally she contracted some diseases from Tanya. Do you think Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Solon Empire would eat game hunted in the wild, or would she choose to purchase domesticated livestock with better meat quality? "
"For a long time after Lulu left Solon, her understanding of money was not established. If you say that she went shopping with the Mist Demon and the price of the food quadrupled at least, that's all praise, because Lulu left Solon. Lunshi took very few things with him, mostly hard currency and high-face-value currency of extremely high value, and he was a little confused about the value of the things he took out."
"Lulu doesn't know how to bargain. A bottle of potion that speeds up the recovery of magic power is exchanged for a sheep. I have seen her do this kind of transaction with my own eyes. If I hadn't pinched the hawker's neck and asked him to collect ten pairs of sheep. Come on, I guess this deal is done.”
Lu Yu sweated: "It sounds like the vendor still made a profit?"
"You can't make money. Is he qualified to sell the medicine made by a seventh-level magician at a high price?" Sera snorted, "Anyone who can tell the level of the potion will know by looking at his identity that he is not a magician at all. A person without The way for powerful civilians to obtain potions is a mystery, and they have no right to bargain at all. If you encounter a conscientious buyer, you will not be able to pay the normal purchase price. If you encounter an unscrupulous person, whether he can get the money is a question. "
"This is also my punishment for him. I just want him to hold a valuable item that may change half of his life, but he cannot get equivalent rewards."
It was a good thing to say, but Lu Yu always felt that something was wrong with the way he looked at Sera...
For some unknown reason, Bread fell down the steps and was sobbing. Orkus quickly put down his books and ran out.
Seeing Orkus busy checking the injury of the bread, the words "father and daughter" naturally appeared in Lu Yu's mind.
Suddenly, Lu Yu remembered something. He turned around and asked, "Sela, I want to ask you something."
The mist demon, who had become familiar with Sera for some reason, brought her a mushroom soup and roasted mushrooms. Sera smoothed her hair and was about to start drinking the soup.
"Ask about Lulu, right?"
"It has only been more than ten years since Lulu became a magician. I once heard Lulu say that when she first awakened, she and her parents set fire to play together, but later when Lulu talked about Solon's experience, their experience was completely gone... "
Lu Yu spoke softer and quieter, because Sera had raised her head after drinking soup, her expression was a little solemn, and her eyes were very complicated.
After observing his words, Lu Yu did not continue speaking.
Wiping her mouth, Sierra asked: "You haven't mentioned this question in front of Lulu, have you?"
"To be honest, I rarely take the initiative to ask about Lulu's personal affairs. Even if Lulu doesn't use her ability to solve problems for me, I won't ask why." Lu Yu said, "If she doesn't tell, I won't ask. I think it’s good to get along like this.”
Sera had some appreciation for Lu Yu in her heart, and she asked calmly: "Then why are you asking this now?"
"Ever since the Battle of Blue Water City, when I think back on this journey, it seems that I have been telling her about my past, but except for knowing part of her past... I know nothing else."
"I always thought this was good..."
Lu Yu was silent for a while, threw away all the words he had found to describe that feeling, and said simply and roughly: "In short, I just want to know, and I don't know how to give a reason."
Sera took another sip of soup. The warm mushroom soup was very fragrant and mellow.
"Okay, I can tell you, but you have to remember, if Lulu doesn't mention her parents personally, never ask."
"That is her eternal pain..."
Serra and Lulu met for the first time at a palace banquet.
Sera, who had already stood out from the crowd, was taken by Laurend. Pope Laurend, who was famous in the continent of Mera, personally introduced her to the nobles attending the banquet, making her the most eye-catching person at that banquet. people.
After dealing with a large number of nobles, Sera came to the terrace to catch her breath, and happened to see a man kneeling in a small corner, gritting his teeth and sobbing.
From a distance, she could feel the sadness.
She originally wanted to come forward to comfort her, but it was her first time attending a banquet and she was a little cautious, so Sera secretly left.
It was not until much later that Sera knew that the person who secretly cried there that night was Lulutis, the future star of Solon's magicians.
After talking about this tantalizing memory, Sera suddenly asked Lu Yu a strange question.
"A pair of commoners with no foundation in magic gave birth to an extremely gifted magic genius. Do you think it is a good thing?"
"Can this be a bad thing?" Lu Yu was stunned for a moment and asked.
He subconsciously came up with an analogy.
An extremely gifted sports genius, his body and athletic ability allow him to be among the best no matter what he plays. If he gives birth to such a child, even if his parents are ordinary people, in Lu Yu's country, they would just lie down and wait for the child. I can write more than a dozen cool articles about the ending that brings flying, and the inspirational story can be promoted without reprinting.
It was also at this moment that Lu Yu suddenly thought of something.
After all, this is not the country and land that raised him.
"It's normal to think so. After all, this should be a normal script, but that's not the case for the Lulu family."
Sierra’s voice was trembling.
"Lulu's family is very poor. According to the history I know, Lulu is not even a commoner, but a half-slave. His father was a slave because the lord at that time was kind and lifted the slave status. A chance to be a normal person.”
"Although there are no wars between the four major countries in Mela, there are not many wars among the small countries that are dependent on the four major countries, and the four major countries basically do not control the strife between them. There are both big countries acquiescing to it, and small countries fighting for it. Interests are adding fuel to the fire. Lulu’s mother is a refugee from a small country in Mela. She fled to Solon and met Lulu’s father while struggling to survive, and eventually they formed a family.”
"The only thing worth mentioning is that Lulu's mother seemed to have a good family background, so she taught Lulu how to read when she was growing up."
Sierra closed her eyes and recalled for a while before continuing.
"Lulu's family had no money, and it was normal for them to go hungry. A magician with amazing talent appeared in such a family. At that time, they decided that in order to give Lulu the best education, her talent must be given full play. Get utilized.”
"So, they found the major magician academies in Solon, hoping to get an admission spot, but you know..." Sera looked at Lu Yu with a wry smile.
Lu Yu murmured: "Money, identity, right?"
"Yes, to enter the magic academy, you must either have money or status, because talent takes time to be realized. Who knows how far this talent can develop? There are many awakened magicians in Solon, who can become There are only a few high-level magicians, who can say that Lulu is one of them?"
"But Lulu's parents didn't care. They firmly believed that Lulu could do it. They believed that their child could eventually become the greatest magician in Solon, so they asked for help. Finally, they moved a magician who was born as a commoner. The magician is willing to help Lulu enroll in school in his own name, but he can only help so far, and Lulu needs to pay for the tuition herself."
"So there are two questions before Lulu's parents."
"One is money, and the other is another thing the magician said."
Sierra covered her face with her hands, as if she was hiding something.
"At that time, there were very few civilians enrolled in the magician academy in the Solon King's City. After all, this was the political center and the place with the most magicians in Solon. Ordinary people basically did not have the qualifications to get here, and most of them enrolled in academies around the King's City. "
"If Lulu wants to study here, she will probably face a problem after enrolling... bullying."
"A noble is a noble, and a pariah is a pariah. Identity is indispensable here. Lulu's origin determines that she will most likely be abused by nobles with bad temperaments. This kind of abuse belongs to the privileges of the noble class. Ask the Magicians Association for help. It may not be useful."
"In order for her to have the best future, Lulu's parents chose the most difficult city to study in the royal city. Now that there is a glimmer of hope, they will naturally seize it... In order for Lulu to be able to go to school with peace of mind without being discriminated against, They made a decision."
"Change Lulu's origin and send her to an academy magician as an adopted daughter, and they are no longer Lulu's parents in name..."
There was silence.
After a long time, Sera continued.
"The most ironic thing is that the magician who was sent decided to accept Lulu as his adopted daughter just for money. He would not take care of Lulu or pay any fees to Lulu. Instead, he asked Lulu's parents to pay him Pay a reputational fee.”
"What kind of work can a refugee and a slave do to pay for Lulu's high tuition and the greedy demands of a greedy magician with no ethics?"
"What kind of job can you gamble as long as you have your life? You will work every day and just see if you can come back and get paid?"
Lu Yu had already thought of the answer.
Sigrid struggled to speak out: "Adventurer..."
"Yes, in order for Lulu to be able to study magic in the academy with peace of mind, they constantly challenged commissions far beyond their own level. Relying on experience, they managed to survive several difficulties safely, but bad luck will not favor them one after another."
"In Lulu's third year after entering the academy, when Lulu was discovered by Tanya and attracted to her side, their team was completely wiped out in the mine."
Sera looked at the sky, thoughtfully.
"Lulu has always said that she became a magician so that her parents could have enough to eat and not have to continue to work hard."
"After that, her dream changed."
"For her parents, she wants to be the greatest magician in Solon." Serra said, "But who can define this 'greatness' for her?"
