Chapter 1063 1. "The Sunken Land" (1)

  Death is not inescapable, the people engraved in history are just eternal sleep.

  Some people you will never forget the first time you saw him.

   Lu Li is such a person. From the Ellen Peninsula to the Lord's Continent to the barren land, you will never find the same black hair and black eyes - I heard that everyone who has seen him will be immersed in those eyes. Those who have passed him are hard to resist the fatal attraction - everyone who has seen him can't help thinking: If it should be what a human **** should look like, then it should be Lu Li's appearance - this is not flattery and flattery, because We know - everyone loves Lu Li.

  The winter, which is much longer than in previous years, is still ravaging the entire northern part of the Lord's Continent. People hid underground, shivering and talking nonsense in the dark, freezing blizzard night. At this time, Lu Li had just landed in the barren land. The perennial cloud-shrouded World Ridgeback Mountains block the piercing winds from the unknown to the north. In the weather that wasn't too cold, Lu Li went to Midnight City—of course, it was now the Giant Tree Academy in Midnight City for further studies.

Let's recount Lu Li's titles at this moment: Legendary Exorcist; Last Exorcist; Lord of the Land of Light; and the cursed titles that bear true titles: Lighthouse; Bloodstained; Treetalker; dreamer; intellectual. If you are puzzled by the extra cursed title, the answer will be revealed at the end of the story.

  The body of Themimus after his death stands in the center of the dark earth. People respect it as the tree of the world, and the Academy of Giant Trees builds a nest on it like a nesting sparrow. After the Dark Ages, the Academy of Giant Trees moved off the surface with Midnight City, turning from sparrows to worms.

   Vice President Professor Chris received Lu Li. Although we can't understand, the well-known Lu Li wants to get knowledge from the Giant Tree Academy and still wants to become a student. They are deceiving Lu Li's kindness. Lu Li, who subsequently became a junior student, showed that they were successful.

  Luli's bedroom is a spacious room at the edge of the tree canopy, where a warm fireplace and an empty bookshelf will make him much more comfortable for the rest of his student life. There is a window on one wall of the room. At noon, when you open the wooden window, you can see the spire of the Alchemy Tower twinkling like a star. If at the brightest noon, you can also overlook the dark outline of Midnight City.

   Rest overnight in the best dormitory that Giant Tree Academy can provide, and Lu Li appeared in every class the next morning like a student. This went on for a few days and then changed as the freshmen's classes changed. Mystery, alchemy and other knowledge are more favored by this exorcist, because the purpose of his studies is related to this. His learning progress amazes all professors. It usually took students ten months or more to acquire knowledge and he only needed a few days, as if some invisible and terrifying monster was chasing him from behind.

  Lu Li is not what we understand, the kind of nerd who did nothing but read books in the old system period. He still has normal social interactions such as communicating with distant friends, and even made a few friends. One is the young lady of the blood family, a child from a slum, and Hagrid, a professor of occultism.

   A few days later, Lu Li, who had finished most of the students' half-year courses, came to the library. A middle-grade student predicted his arrival and hoped to make a deal: exchange the knowledge Lu Li needed to join their team after advancing to the middle-grade. Lu Li didn't think about it for too long, because Fudot from the blood family secretly followed and told him that he could help find the book.

  After lunch in the evening, Lu Li was going to make an appointment to go to the office of Chrissy, the vice president. It's just that the rule against leaving the canopy in the lower grades is strictly enforced by gatekeepers, even the legendary exorcist. Lu Li had to use means to get through those gatekeepers - he turned into a black cat with a long tail, like a black cat raised by a witch in a fairy tale, but not so evil.

   Came to the office of the vice-president Chris, Lu Li asked some questions about the curse, got acquainted with her daughter Claire, recovered her human form, and found the black bug that Fudot had left on her body - although it was not malicious. But the next day, Fudot became indifferent because of the side effect of Lu Li’s transformation into a cat. It was because of her that Fudot apologized, and found the books Lu Li needed soon after.

   This autobiographical book titled "The Story of Cory LaVar" chronicles the story of the first cursed title holder discovered by mankind, Cory LaVar. Although he is not as famous as Lu Li, he is also known by many people in the Badlands, but he has the same fate as all the masters of cursed titles: disappearing due to running out of fuel—

   "Humanity" - Lu Li called Fuel that, he knew exactly what it was. When Lu Li, who has grasped human nature and possessed human nature, found the professors and told the truth, they excitedly and anxiously hoped that Lu Li could verify. It wasn't too difficult, and the Giant Tree Academy soon brought a dying master of the cursed title. This mad man named Kane treated all previous failed attempts with disdain, until the fuel called "humanity" poured into the dying body like irrigating barren fields.

   Lu Li's perception of human nature is real - the professors also warned Lu Li to hide the news when they were excited. But he didn't do that, just like the motto of the Giant Tree Academy: Don't hide your talents. Don't hide the gift that saves others. Don't hide the gift of saving others in the destruction of the world.

  Deputy Dean Chris recommended him a scholar who can help analyze the power of human nature, scientist Sterling - an unfamiliar term. But twenty years ago, everyone knew that these scientists built the smokestacks, the humming metal machines, and the iron ships that sailed on the sea. We no longer need these now, and the wealth of the past is long gone.

  Sterling perfected and supplemented the theory of human nature for Lu Li. It is a pity that he committed suicide a few days later due to hallucinations caused by low sanity. Lu Li noticed that he had to temporarily return to the purpose of his coming to the Giant Tree Academy: to study. And two weeks after he came to Giant Tree Academy, the new year came.

On this day, Lu Li received gifts from many people and gave gifts to many people: Ophelia's gift was a piece of natural lava, and the return gift was a hollowed-out gold silk evening dress and workwear; Puseus's gift was his diary , many books in return; Hades' gift was a rock, and 100 one-shilling coins in return; the Devil's Daughter's gift was a piece of good news, in return a black tuxedo; Fudot's gift was Lu Li The book I need, the return gift is a book called "Stalking and Anti-Stalking Skills"; the gift of dog meat is a blessing, and the return gift is a box of canned food; and for those who know and don't know, Lu Li will be unpacking the whole New Year's afternoon. Gifts and gift giving.

   In any case, the tranquility that can be called luxury at any time comes to this big tree after a long absence.
