The Leighton family who took away Vanessa's relics had a strong background. They had close contacts with the continent's first alchemist during the Porges era. After that, the two generations after that all made great achievements in alchemy and successively promoted it. He carried out two waves of improvements in alchemical knowledge, establishing his academic status in the Porgian continent in one fell swoop.
Compared with its academic achievements in magic and alchemy, the reputation of the Lyton family among ordinary people is not very good, and even ordinary magicians are full of resentment against them.
The combination of the transcendent status and the flourishing family gave the second generation of the Laiton family, who were ignorant and unable to explore the mysteries of magic in depth, plenty of time to mess around. Perhaps it was the Laiton family that asked them to use this method. This may be the nature of these second generations to provide assistance to the best magicians in the family. All in all, they have done countless tricks and plunders. Compared with them, the methods used by the Mela School to do bad things can be considered tactful and gentle.
Many wild mages in the Porges Continent have learned about the methods of the Laidon family. They are extremely cautious not to attack families with a long history, nor do they attack talented magicians from less famous families. The targets are often down-and-out magic families, wild mages, and travelers from foreign continents.
In addition, after he succeeded, he was willing to share it with people of the same class. The reputation of the Laiton family in Porges completely showed two extremes.
This is why Harrier advised Lu Yu not to have any wishful thinking. Ever since the doll's heart was deceived two hundred years ago, the Laiton family has regarded it as a treasure, devoted themselves to studying its secrets, and has close ties with several families of puppet masters. , trying to use this as an opportunity to realize the alchemist's highest ideal - to refine the living.
However, over the past two hundred years, the achievements of the Laiton family in alchemy have tended to stagnate, and there has been no good news from the many puppet master families they cooperated with. It can be speculated that the heart has not played its due role in the hands of these people. effect.
Although this ambition has obviously been frustrated, for any ambitious magician, the unknown secret is in his hands, and even if it is useless, it can still wait for the day to be sold at a price.
Harrier didn't think that Lu Yu had the capital to bargain with such a behemoth. There was no guarantee that he wouldn't be eaten by the Laiton family just because he showed some secrets. They could do it.
"Are you short of money?"
Harrier hesitated for a moment at Lu Yu's sudden change of topic, and then nodded slightly.
"As you can see, not all of the potions I made can be sold at a good price. Some of them can barely break even. And it's not long before the deadline for paying the college's training fees. I must raise enough tuition before then. .”
Lu Yu threw the jar containing dragon's blood, and Haril was so frightened that he hurriedly caught it.
"Take it and sell it, I think it will be enough for you to study."
Haril looked at the dragon's blood jar in his hand with desire in his eyes, but the magician's reserve still made him choose to refuse. He didn't think the information he provided was of such value. Although he wanted money very much, he also had to establish a relationship. On the basis of equal exchange.
"Take it, to be honest, I am the inheritor of the elf magician who gave your ancestor the heart of the doll. Although I don't know why your ancestor failed to go further, it seems that you have hope of surpassing him... Forgot to ask, what genre do you specialize in?"
"Monster Taming, in layman's terms, is what the public calls an animal tamer."
Lu Yu looked at the clean interior and thought of the small courtyard. To be honest, he really didn't find any trace of monster activity.
"Everything is just getting started. I am still barely able to communicate with some monsters that have not yet opened their intelligence, and I cannot make them completely obey me."
Lu Yu helped Lu Lu express his doubts: "What about the relatively unpopular school? Does Porges actually have a special magic subject?"
"That's not true. It's just that my magic foundation is not very good. The teachers at the academy think that I should solidify my magic theory knowledge first and have the ability to deal with most monsters before I start communicating and domesticating them."
In terms of suggestions, these teachers seemed to be conscientious and conscientious.
Seeing that Lu Yu was about to leave, Haril hurriedly said: "Can I ask you something?"
"Please say."
"If...I mean if, you can really buy your heart back, can you let me have a look? I really want to know why my ancestors devoted their whole lives to one path."
"I'm very confused... Ever since I started to come into contact with magic, the debates among the major schools have made me waver in my choice. I chose potions but also longed for stronger combat power, so I turned to the ranks of elemental mages with varied styles."
"Not long after joining the Elemental Mage, I heard discussions among the apprentices and felt that the threshold for this genre was too high and unfriendly to most magicians."
"I want to become a demon warrior, but I find that the threshold for being a demon warrior is not only high, but there are also very few successful experiences to learn from. Although it is a path with little competition, most of the time you can only explore it on your own."
"After a long time of tossing and turning, I finally chose the path I am now on, but there is still something in my heart that is ready to move. I know this is a very stupid impulse, but I always can't resist thinking about whether other genres are far better than my current choice. OK, what is a better choice..."
As if seeing his former self, Lu Yu stopped.
Both Lu Lu and Sera felt Lu Yu's uneasy heart, and they were not sure why Lu Yu was touched.
Compared to Lu Lu and Sera, Lu Yu may be the person who can best understand this confusion.
Lulu and Sera are both geniuses. They have easily reached heights beyond the reach of ordinary people in their respective chosen paths. They don't need to think about which genre is more suitable for them.
Lu Yu's specialization summoning originated from Lu Lu's guidance. He has always admitted that his current success has a lot of luck. At the right time, he was introduced by the right person to a school that was waiting for revival, and finally became the right person. .
But before that, he was an ordinary person who had just graduated from college and was still thinking about which path to take in the future. He packed up his bags and walked out of college, facing countless forks in the road at a loss.
Which career is better, which career can allow you to spend every day safely, will choosing this career make you fall into deep regret and helplessness in the future?
Anxiety not only tortured Lu Yu on the eve of graduation, but also tortured everyone in the dormitory. Even the most optimistic people always inadvertently showed a sad face during the process of reviewing interviews and submitting resumes on the eve of farewell.
Lu Yu agreed decisively: "Okay, I will bring it back to you to see."
As a well-known alchemy family, Laiton's manors are spread all over Porges. In normal times, it is not easy to meet their current head of the family, but Lu Yu came at the right time.
Yin Stili, the leader of the new generation of magicians in the Laiton family, happened to have advanced to the advanced level not long ago. A hybrid of rabbit ears and human race, she became the seventh level at the age of seventeen. Even at the moment when the magic wave is coming, she still has a bright future. synonymous with.
It was also because of this that the Laiton family held a grand banquet for her, bringing her who had only been active among a few families into the public eye, to show the strong heritage of the Laiton family and its successors.
The Laiton family did not restrict the conditions for the banquet and deliberately made many restrictions, which made it easy for Lu Yu to sneak in.
Funny to say, the waiter at Laiton's house initially asked Lu Yu to take off his mask, but it seemed that this inspection was carried out after a well-known high-level magician from the Porges continent was stopped to verify his identity. He was ignored by them. When passing by a flower garden, Lu Yu clearly heard the waiter being scolded bloody by the housekeeper.
The open-air banquet held on the snow did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the guests at all. Most of them came here for the purpose of courting.
As early as the stage of verifying the identity of the magician, Lu Yu heard the people around him whispering about Yin Steli's beautiful appearance. If these young people from major families were not worried about being in the home of the Laiton family, they would They hit it off immediately and chatted happily, making gentlemanly remarks, and the speed of the car was definitely suitable for Noel to make friends.
Although there are no mandatory regulations, the wild mages with no foundation and the family mages with backgrounds were clearly active in two different areas soon after arriving. Lu Yu did not notice this at first, until a man shook the glass of wine. The young man came over.
He was polite but with an arrogant look on his brows. He asked about Lu Yu's background in a polite but alienated tone that made people clearly feel a sense of alienation. When he heard that Lu Yu reported that he came from a foreign continent, After becoming a scholar, his smile was very intriguing, as if he was sizing up a lamb that had strayed into a pack of wolves.
"You should go over there, please."
He obviously did not give Lu Yu the right to refuse. He placed his hand on Lu Yu's chest and pointed directly at the wild mage camp.
Lu Yu glanced at this man deeply and didn't argue. He came here just to meet the head of the Laiton family and see if there was a way to trade hearts. He was not interested in anything else.
Compared to the group of magicians with family backgrounds, the wild mage camp was very quiet. Regarding Lu Yu's joining, they only glanced sideways and stopped caring. There was even no topic here.
"Lu Yu...I have some feelings."
"I think, there are some." Sera said following Lu Lu.
Just as Lu Yu was wondering what was going on, a lot of noise arose in his consciousness, and some strange impulse made him breathless.
"Isn't this feeling..." Lu Yu was immediately wary, "The resonance that only occurs when pioneers meet for the first time... This is exactly the same as when Orkus and Sarah were together."
Sera and Lu Lu were startled and looked around quietly, but they did not dare to use their magic power to sense it too obviously.
The impulse became more and more obvious, and the resonant sound that beat like a war drum echoed over and over again, reminding Lu Yu as a pioneer. Until it reached the climax, it began to fall back like a tide and return to calm.
"You can't be wrong. There is definitely a summoning pioneer nearby."
