Chapter 1064 2. "The Sunken Land" (2)

  2. Companion

  It is sad for people who sink into the bubble of the past - how ridiculous is it for people who still tuck their heads into their beds and imagine warm illusions in a vicious world where primitive darkness covers the surface, weirdness occupies the land, and evil spirits patrol.

Giant Tree Academy never wants students to become such people, although a few hours ago, a student begged Lu Li to take him back to a safe and warm tree canopy. The lower school students bring to the upper school's New Year's party. Senior professor Helmder invited Lu Li to talk in a remote place. The two-soul person with his father's soul in his body seemed to tell Lu Li the taboo knowledge he was eager to know and other professors dared not tell. Deputy Dean Chris then came to drive him away - "We will meet again in the future" Helmud said as he left.

   Vice President Chris didn't want Lu Li to know the forbidden knowledge in advance and tell him the reason: knowledge is coherent and connected to each other. We still need time to understand normal knowledge - you may be able to read a whole book of professional knowledge in one day, but you will never remember it. As for the knowledge that records the strange power, it takes time to know it. Spending a whole day watching it won't make you any smarter, instead, it's better to pray that weird powers don't turn you into a twisted madman or monster.

  After the party, Lu Li took the New Year's gift from Chrissy, the vice president, a dream potion. When he woke up from a wonderful dream that no one knew about, everything around him gave back to Lu Li an illusory sense of unreality. It was as if he was still sleeping in a dream and had not woken up yet.

The New Year did not corrupt the mind of the exorcist. All good things will only remind him of the despair and loss of the real world. The illusory beauty can only be maintained in the wall formed by the thick bark, like a fragile and ridiculous dream. The window is dark and quiet. is real.

   Lu Li, who returned to the course, showed his terrifying talent for learning. It only took him two weeks to complete the other students' one-year course. The professors were uneasy about this, or maybe they didn't want Lu Li to break into the unfinished cobwebs—they had to subtly remind Lu Li that he was going too fast—even though there were equally good students in history.

  Lu Li is still in the lower grades because of the expectations of the professors, for the time being. Also because staying will not affect his learning progress - after the first-level trial of mysticism, the second-level trial will come soon. Classmate Benteler and Jaeger from the middle school pass with him, looking for the strangeness hidden in the procession migrating to the swamp.

   They soon discovered the weirdness, a mimic disguised as a couple's young children. Only slightly deviated from expectations, the couple knew the truth - and their love for the child who had long disappeared in the night of despair was pinned on the mimic. Because the mimics are as harmless as herbivores, they got a win-win result: Lu Li and the others passed the trial, and the couple and the young child were not dealt with, just because they deceived and couldn't stay in the team.

   "We shouldn't vent our resentment on beings as poor and weak as us," Jaeger read. After the trial, he sent an invitation to Lu Li, hoping to join their Holy Light team. Lu Li neither refused nor agreed. He returned to the tree canopy to prepare for the next level 2 alchemy trial, and then passed the test without any surprises—and quickly passed the level 3 esoteric test the next day.

   "Children shouldn't be allowed to walk through dark, dirty streets with dazzling treasures," some professors think. "Lu Li did not become a legend because of an exorcist, but an exorcist because of a legend. The exorcist announced his arrival at the end of the weird age, and will also come to the world in the dark age." The remaining professors thought so. In any case, it became a fact that Lu Li went to middle school. The professors prepared gifts, and they also received Lu Li's gift in return - eyeball fruit. These eyeballs can summon merchants who have been inseparable from exorcists in the old days.

  The further down the Giant Tree Academy goes, the worse the environment will be. The dome of the dark corridor was hung with cobwebs and shadows, as if the light could not shine into this dark area. However, it is better for middle school students who are already used to the environment than the upper grades further down. And for the Holy Light team, they have never liked this place as much as they do today-because of Lu Li's arrival.

After the    surprise, the Holy Light team re-faced the encounter in front of them-they discovered a dungeon. Generally speaking, the dungeons with hidden opportunities and dangers should not be meddled by middle-aged students, but they find a way to escape the danger in other ways, but they just need the help of the precious Sequence 39 Elixir: Calm Forest - we all know that Lu Li has it Huge wealth, that string of numbers stretches from the Lennon Islands to the Ellen Peninsula. So the problem that plagued the Holy Light team was solved, and Margaret, who got the calm forest, went to the dungeon. She went longer than expected. The next morning, the gatekeeper, who spreads ominous crows like a crow, stood outside the door and brought bad news: Margaret remained in the dungeon forever.

  The bad news suddenly came to the team that was filled with joy because of Lu Li's arrival. They came to the entrance of the dungeon, confirming that they had lost her forever—Margaret's husk was no different than the numb, grotesque inhabitants of the dungeon. Overwhelmed by sadness, Lu Li became the vice-captain of the Holy Light Team, and gradually got used to the rules of the middle grade. Staying in the giant tree library to study at night, accepting tasks with companions in the morning, getting used to the fighting style of the dark age - no longer as cruel and artistic as the old days, like the oil painting painted by the painter - now the battle is more Like a trainee painter selling baskets of oil paintings for 10 shillings on the street.

During the    period, the Holy Light team obtained a book that claimed to be the Book of Contracts. It claimed to know everything and possessed everything. In fact, it was just a weird book that kept devouring its victims. Over time, they gradually forgot the pain. Then when everything was getting better, the trouble quietly found the Holy Light team who got Lu Li - the children who got the treasure will only be robbed of the treasure.

  The Viper Squad Captain Keengard launched a esoteric showdown against Keinuette, a duel that staked the dignity of himself and the church. Keanuette is only a shallow believer, but she has to say yes. Refusal would only drag herself and the Light Team into the abyss. Although not backed by the church behind it, the existence of the Exorcist can easily be compared to any church. At this time, Fudot also promoted to the middle grade to join the Holy Light team, bringing some help.

  The esoteric showdown ended with Keenuette winning with Lu Li's support, but Keengard's disdainful behavior during the duel made them angry, and Jaeger proposed to teach Keengard a lesson - Lu Li also participated. Although the operation was successful, it was not unexpectedly discovered by the gatekeeper, and the three people, including Lu Li, were sentenced to one-month confinement. The students complained that the Light Team took the exorcist, and the professors rejoiced—because they had enough time to plan what came next.
