The personal banquet that originally belonged to Easterly had changed. After the transaction was concluded, she humbly asked Coal Balls a series of questions, covering topics ranging from potions, alchemy, and dolls.
Coan Qiu didn't like the Leiden family, but he admired this talented and intelligent girl. In her, Coan Qiu didn't even feel the pride of being a seventh-level magician. Every question was filled with the purest pursuit of knowledge about magic. Desire is like an apprentice.
Seeing that Mei Qiu knew everything about the questions raised by his daughter, the little knot in Karen's heart as a father disappeared. Although Mei Qiu accused the Layton family of past methods that made him a little embarrassed, after today's changes, he also I vaguely listened to what Mei Qiu said.
There is no eternal family. Every wave of magic will create a new order, and the first to be liquidated in the old order are often those high-profile families who have done a lot of evil. Now that the Leiden family has everything, why bother to make more changes? What about radical risk-taking decisions?
Not long after sending away the guests with the excuse of "unexpected accident", Karen received the news from the servants. He was not surprised, but just nodded slightly to indicate that he was aware of it.
The conversation between Qianqiu and Easterly lasted all night. With the soundproof circle, no one knew what they talked about. When the first ray of light in the morning shone in the misty forest, Easterly said humbly After opening the door for the briquettes, she didn't even pay attention to the other people present, but floated away with the briquettes.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Karen caught up with him. Their destination was a simple hut outside the capital of King Freis.
Lu Yu fulfilled his promise and delivered the doll's heart to Hariel.
Carefully holding the heart that his ancestors regarded as a treasure but he had only read its description in the scroll, Haril felt mixed emotions in his heart. He could feel the strangeness of this heart, but he could not describe it clearly. Feel.
"It's because the Calum family is too stupid. Your teacher gave us such a treasure, but we failed to use it correctly... Our ancestors were upset more than once in their diary, thinking that they had failed Vanessa Sage. expect."
The diary that Harrier pulled out from the dusty storage room was already yellowed. The family had declined, and the items were not well kept, leaving many traces of moths on it.
Opening the dusty diary, Lu Yu saw Ulkarum's past.
He described his encounter with Vanessa as "a child trapped in a fog receiving light from a god."
That year, Ulkarum was as confused as Haril. He had been a magician for many years but could not find his own path. In the forest, he met Vanessa who was communicating with dryads and birds. He could not forget the sound of the grass flute played by the young man lying on the dead tree for the rest of his life, and even composed a score specifically for it.
He got help because he was afraid of being ridiculed by the puppet masters of his classmates, so he was playing with the puppets alone in the forest.
Sayer, who had a stern face and was unwilling to even introduce himself, provided some friendly guidance: "If you can't carve this well, why are you playing with puppets? Just change your school of thought."
Vanessa glared at Sayer, personally guided Calum to repair the doll's magic circle, and taught him the tricks to improve it.
Although he was born in a family, Calum, who had little status in the fiercely competitive big family, burst into tears. Regarding this sudden happiness, he kept asking, eager to get more answers, but Vanessa did not Not bored, I spent several days giving him individual lessons.
"Mr. Sayer is very unhappy. The prey he brings back are always scarred."
"After being complained a few times by Vanessa Sage, Mr. Sayer muttered, 'He doesn't mind, why should he enrich the menu?' But he still seriously improved the food that night."
The details in this diary made Coan Qiu and the three of them smile knowingly. Even someone as powerful as Sayer would be jealous.
Before leaving, Calum, who had obtained the puppet heart and strengthened his determination to become a puppet master, asked Vanessa one last question.
"What kind of magician should I be?"
This is not an academic question, but more like a life consultation.
“Hopefully one day you’ll be able to enlighten others as much as I did.”
"Don't be one of those wizards you hate most when you talk to me."
This is the answer given by Vanessa.
In hindsight, he is not a very good puppeteer, and his works can be said to be clumsy, but most of them can only become decorations. The only ones worthy of praise are sculptures, and these are just human beings. A skill that this school of thought least needs.
But Calum did it. Throughout his life, he did not join the mainstream school of thought, but quietly studied his puppet skills.
He answered various questions raised by apprentices who wanted to embark on the path of puppet masters. He worked tirelessly and asked for nothing in return. Those introductory booklets for puppet masters that he compiled but never disseminated were accumulated in the utility room. washed away, leaving only some debris.
According to records, he has distributed a lot, but has been resisted by some magicians of the school. In the end, he had to choose to restrain his style under the resistance from many parties.
On a scrap of page, Coal Ball saw the torch that Ulkarum had raised.
“Hopefully one day you’ll be able to enlighten others as much as I did.”
Except for accomplishing nothing, he tried his best to fulfill all the promises he made to Vanessa.
Following her, wanting to be her, this is Ulkarum's life.
Easterly, who was accompanying her to see all this, looked at Mei Qiu with sparkling eyes. She seemed to understand why this strange-looking Mei Qiu was so easy-going. He was not only willing to answer all the questions she encountered in magic, but also to help solve problems in her studies. Faced with the bottleneck, he also took the initiative to relieve her stress so that she could look at herself calmly.
"Is this inheritance?"
Briquette said: "Eastleigh, he is the previous owner of the heart. I hope you can help him solve the enrollment problem. It shouldn't be difficult for the Leiden family to do this."
"I believe my father will not refuse." Easterly nodded immediately.
Haril was a little tearful. He never thought that the stories of his ancestors would continue to him, even though things have changed.
"I can't help you with the path you are going to take. Beast Taming is a very unfamiliar field to us. I have a list here, which is some improved magic potion refining experience and formulas. If you fail to take Taming in the end, For the path of a beast master, you can try becoming a potion master."
Lulu has tasted some of the restorative potions made by Harrier. It is extremely rare for a beginner to be able to make potions with current effects. You must know that even she made trouble when she first set foot on potions. There are many jokes, such as the wrong ratio of materials creating huge flames and smoke, such as turning the potion into a ball of sludge and flooding half of the laboratory, and various moths that directly cause pain at the entrance of the potion...
Considering that Harrier already had his own plans, Coal Ball specially emphasized it when giving this gift so that he would not be forced to change his mind because of this expectation.
The purpose of coming to Porgis has been achieved, and Briquettes is about to leave for the next location.
Karen quickly reminded: "I'm afraid many families in Porges have already received the news. You have the creation of a ninth-level magician, and you have the knowledge that can descend to a ninth-level magician. They will not act rashly in the Kingdom of Freis, but If you leave Freis or leave the Porges continent, they will definitely..."
Lu Yu smiled, and Sayer, who had been silent and secluded, opened his eyes again.
"They know what has happened, but they are still not afraid of death?"
"The knowledge is touching. In history, it has happened more than once that an elephant was killed by ants. No matter how powerful the magician was, he could not stand up and attack in groups."
Lu Yu felt that the high-level magicians who were bitten to death by ants really gave the low-level magicians too much room for fantasy. In fact, in most cases, they were ants trampled to death by elephants.
Hope is poison. The slightest possibility will attract countless people to chase it. The danger hidden in it is also selectively forgotten by the fanatical crowd.
"Since they want to give it a try, let them try it. They choose their own path, right?"
"They coveted something they shouldn't covet." Sayer's voice was filled with coldness.
Coal Ball thought for a moment and said, "Eastleigh, I want to trade something with you."
Easterly responded without hesitation: "Of course, but what do you want?"
"This is a list. Help me gather these materials, and then provide me with some medicine refining tools."
After all, Layton was a wealthy family and met Lulu's needs without purchasing. In another of their mansions, Harrier and Easterly were able to directly watch Lulu's potion refining process.
Karen, who was thinking about it, set up the strictest magic circle, strictly prohibiting anyone from peeking.
The process of refining and dispensing potions made Harrier and Easterly amazed. In their opinion, many of Lulu's refining techniques were far from those of traditional potion masters, and some of them could even be included in the prohibitions on refining potions. According to the rules, Ke Lulu performed with ease, and the efficient potion refining that would fail if she was not careful was like dancing on the tip of a knife.
Lulu didn't make any mistakes once. She even took the initiative to mention the explosion accident caused by her failed refining methods during the refining process, so that they could learn from it.
It was not easy for Lu Yu and Sera to complain in front of these two people. Lulu had said before that she should be warned, but similar incidents still happened after the construction of the Dawn Territory...
After the final product was completed, the excess parts were naturally divided between the two.
"The validity period of a well-sealed medicine is about five to ten years, and it will become weaker and weaker as time goes by. Therefore, if there is an emergency, use it as soon as possible. There is no need to store it."
Lulu was very satisfied with her performance today and wiped her forehead with her tentacles in a humane manner - she obviously forgot that the body of briquettes does not sweat.
The two people who received the gifts touched the dozen bottles of potions they were given and nodded gratefully.
"We are really leaving this time." Lulu nodded the two people's heads with her tentacles, "I hope you can surpass us in the future."
"We work hard!"
After drinking a large bottle of magic potion, Lulu, Sera, and Lu Yu all coughed violently in the chat room. A bitter taste that made them want to scratch their throats made them almost suffocate.
After tasting her own work in person, Lulu said tremblingly: "When I go back...improve...the taste first!"
Sierra switched online and reminded her sincerely: "Before drinking, put some honey in it, which can effectively improve the taste. Remember, remember."
I didn't know why Josela would say this, but the two of them agreed blankly.
Seeing the coal briquettes that they had been with for a short time but who had given them a lot of inspiration and help swaggering out of the main entrance of the mansion, Easterly and Hariel felt a little empty in their hearts for no reason.
Mei Qiu could feel the hostility hidden in the darkness, but they did not attack, and Mei Qiu pretended not to be aware of it.
"It seems that they plan to start again after we leave the Porges continent and reach the sea." Serra said.
"I want knowledge and face. I don't want to witness it directly in Porges. It's understandable." Lulu chuckled. "The potion is very effective. They are welcome to try it."
Lu Yu looked at Sayer who was following him, and said thoughtfully: "After I die, I don't really want to be summoned by unrelated people, or perform the resurrection ritual they think we will want."
This sudden topic made Sera and Lulu stunned for a while. Thinking of the previous scene of Kalikaz summoning Vanessa, they both sighed in unison.
"Me too."
"I don't want to be disturbed either."
If you die, you will usher in eternal death that will not be disturbed. Summoning this special form is a very normal behavior in the eyes of the summoner himself, but in the eyes of the living people related to it, it is a kind of torture.
Sayer interjected: "I hope you will work hard to collect the items Vanessa may have left behind, destroy them, or seal them up to prevent similar things from happening."
Lu Yu agreed: "I will follow your instructions. Don't worry about this. It seems that we need to deal with related objects together after we die."
Thinking about what will happen after death is what Lu Yu had to think about due to the heroic template of world consciousness.
He doesn't want himself or the people he loves to suddenly become someone else's toy one day, even if it's just a projection.
"No one can guarantee that all the items will not be missed in their lifetime. It is too difficult... You can find a way to modify the heroic spirit template. Isn't that what the pioneers do?" Sera suggested.
Lulu also has her own opinion: "Beyond that, we might be able to think about how we can cut off the recruitment of world consciousness?"
Up to now, the three people of Coal Ball are quite outspoken about world consciousness. As a collective consciousness, its existence has advantages and disadvantages for the entire world, and they will not show mercy.
Sayer Projection suddenly uttered a sentiment that seemed to be something he could only express on his own account.
"Some people are still chasing eternal life, but those who have opened the door to eternal life are already thinking about controlling death and obtaining eternal death... It is really a contradiction."
