"He has a sixth-level foundation, but his reaction speed to emergencies is very poor. It seems he has no combat experience at all."
"The alchemist is like this..." Lu Yu looked at Qie Ye's frail appearance and hesitated, "It does look a little sick. Are all mutant spiders like this? By the way, it doesn't look like a spider at all.
Ah, isn’t this what humans are?”
"Aren't you afraid of multi-legged animals?" Sierra teased.
As the two of them looked at Qie Ye's words, Qie Ye was struggling.
He was tied tightly by the dough-like tentacles, and was thrown to the bed to sit down, like a rice dumpling tied with five flowers. Qie Ye's face was full of horror. This scene had a very bad influence on what was going to happen next.
guess.
It can't really be for that...
But... this rabbit-eared tribe does seem to have been seen somewhere.
Lu Yu got straight to the point: "Qie Ye, we would like to invite you to work in our territory. At the same time, we will also support your research in alchemy."
Although his tone was very calm, Qieye still asked timidly: "Can I choose not to go?"
"Well, we can provide you with a safe environment and sufficient supplies... If you are a mainstream alchemist who pursues the creation of life, then our territory may also be able to give you some knowledge and technology in the manipulation of spiritual bodies.
Help. If you are from another sect, as long as the request is not particularly excessive, I believe the person in charge of logistics will accommodate it. After all, there are very few projects that require expenditure in the territory."
Qie Ye's neck shrank, and he heard that the other party didn't give him the option not to go.
"I'm just an extremely ordinary alchemist... Mera is much better than me, why me."
Suspicious, really so suspicious. Qie Ye’s lips were trembling when she spoke. These two people were not looking for the alchemist at all, but simply looking for themselves. And why did she just happen to go out today, and because she had no money, she bumped into each other?
Come up!
"Oh, Lulu talked about you, so we came here on a whim, but it took a lot of effort."
"Lulu?" Qieye's eyes widened with confusion on his face.
"Lulutis, the crimson witch of Solon."
Xiao An's tentacles were stretched outward by a powerful force, and eight spider legs with red shimmering light suddenly extended from Qie Ye's tail vertebra. The prismatic spider belly was slightly tilted upwards, and a massive amount of water was suddenly sprayed out.
As she turned around, spider webs formed in mid-air and pounced directly on Sera and Lu Yu.
Using all eight legs together, Qieye rushed straight towards the balcony. She had already used magic power to add elemental power to herself, but she felt that the distance was extremely long.
A huge force came from his back. Qie Ye fell headfirst to the ground before he could react, and his face came into heavy contact with the ground.
Sera's strong arms held down his face, and her knees pressed against Kiriye's waist, causing Kiriye's eight legs to dance feebly, and finally melted feebly back into the body and returned to human form.
"You complain about others' slow reaction, don't you do the same?" Sela turned back and glanced at Lu Yu, who was stunned.
"It's the first time I've seen a mutant spider switch forms freely. I'm a little surprised." Lu Yu thought, Xiaoguang appeared, and the two jellyfish worked together to tie the cut leaves that were trying to escape into a rice dumpling again - purple rice dumpling leaves.
, green string, and the filling is spider.
Seeing Qie Ye shaking violently, Sera asked: "Why are you running?"
"Lulutis is dead a long time ago. You two liars definitely want to turn me into a hatching nest."
Sera and Lu Yu were stunned. Lulu was indeed pronounced dead in the entire Mela. No wonder Qie Ye looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Have we not introduced ourselves yet?" Lu Yu suddenly remembered something and poked Sera's waist with his elbow.
"Oh, yes, Sierra Ophelia, Qieye, you should have heard of me?"
Kiriye, who was so frightened by the name Lulutis that he ran away, was still struggling, planning to fight to the death. As soon as Sera introduced himself, he stopped moving, and his right eye that was not covered by bangs opened wide, and he looked at it carefully.
Looking at Sera, his eyes finally fell on... her chest.
"Chosen by God, Sera?"
Lu Yu suddenly had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start. How did he confirm it?
The cut leaves are visibly relaxed, and the good reputation left during the Theocracy of Serra can be seen.
After exchanging a few messages with each other, the misunderstanding was completely resolved, and the two jellyfish also loosened their restraints, allowing the cut leaves and rice dumpling meat to be exposed.
"Is the territory Miss Sera mentioned the Dawn Territory?"
"You've heard of it."
"I have heard a little bit, but not much... It is said that you fell in love with the terrifying glutton, became his wife, gave up the responsibility of God's choice, abandoned the glory, and settled away from the center of Mera. Talking about these things, I
People who saw it either showed anger or helplessness."
Back then, Sierra could always laugh it off, but now when she heard about becoming the wife of a glutton... her ears felt so hot and itchy!
At this time, Qie Ye was tense all over. After realizing it, he locked his neck and turned his head stiffly. He saw Lu Yu who was touching his chin and thinking about something... Qie Ye swallowed.
"You look very nervous." Lu Yu smiled kindly, "Don't worry, those stories about gluttons are the product of folk speculation. I'm not that scary."
Qie Ye asked cautiously: "So, Miss Serra is not actually your wife?"
Lu Yu responded easily: "Oh, regarding this part, except for one ritual, most of it has come true."
Sierra covered her face. In the presence of outsiders, she couldn't control her expression very well, so she had to use this method to slow down.
When the invitation to the Dawn Territory was mentioned again, Qie Ye was no longer as resistant as before, but he was still curious: "Why me?"
“It was really recommended by Lulu.”
The corners of Qie Ye's mouth twitched, and he sweated a little: "But she should..."
Seeing the determined reactions of the two people, Qieye suddenly realized that he had to go to Chenxi Ling.
This is not a folk rumor. People from the four major countries have always wanted to know the secret of her rapid growth and the source of spiritual magic. After her death, there were many people who went to the explosion site to dig up the secrets. In the end, Solon's high-level magician came under her control.
Judgment - definitely not alive.
A person who was declared dead by the four major countries is not dead, and may still hold the secret of spiritual magic in his hands. Knowing this...
"Why do I have to ask so many questions?"
Since there was no way out, Qie Ye simply asked about another detail that concerned him.
"Recommended by Miss Lulutis, she should tell you that I am actually not very sociable...and my ability is definitely not top-notch among alchemists. If you have high expectations for me, you may be disappointed."
"You will condense the rough ore and the crystal sand in the slag into magic crystal, right?"
"This is not difficult for me... I should be considered skilled in my techniques?" Qie Ye, who had hardly any experience with other alchemists, was not very confident, so he didn't finish his words.
"Can the refining of forbidden magic stones and crystals also be done?"
"The forbidden magic material is too rare. I just heard that I have never come into contact with it. The refining steps may be slightly different from other ores... there should be no problem." Qieye looked at the two people in disbelief, "You just
Do you want me to do this?"
"Oh, there's more."
Qieye Yilin, is it really still there? I also know that the trouble to find him is not just for a few ores, otherwise the huge Dawn Territory can just recruit a few alchemists to complete it.
"We may need you to train some alchemy apprentices."
"Ah?" Qieye tilted his head. None of the outrageous requests he imagined in his mind appeared, "Apprentice?"
"Lulu told me that you have some social difficulties and don't like to interact with others. If it is really inappropriate, just edit it into a manual."
The request is not difficult, but Qie Ye still thinks it is a means of persuasion. The truly difficult and outrageous requests will appear one after another after setting foot in the Dawn Territory.
Qieye, who had already considered defecting to Zeniel, sighed. Faced with Chen Xi Ling who came to visit him in person, he had some strange expectations - no matter who he would vote for, as long as he could settle down, Chen Xi Ling would be fine.
It's far away from the war, so it should be safe enough, right?
"I have a small request. If you can agree, I am willing to go with you."
"Oh, what request?"
Qieye swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "I kept a few slimes as pets... I know that in your eyes, they are low-minded, uncontrollable and dangerous monsters, but to me, they are very dangerous.
important……"
Seeing the strange expressions on the two people's faces, Qie Ye quickly added: "I don't need a particularly comfortable place to live. Just give me a burrow and I can dig it myself... I promise they won't hurt anyone. Really, they are very well-behaved."
Sera looked at Lu Yu: "Your Herola may have something in common with him?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Putting two people together will only burn out their brains. Sharing a common language? Being able to speak is a victory!"
Herola did not show any signs of social fear when she came to Chenxi, and she recognized everyone very smoothly, but every time she interacted with people she didn't know well enough for a long time, she would hide and be alone.
Quiet.
The only good news is that she gets along well with Mu Mu, Xiao Niba, and Hanlu. The summoning team communicates smoothly. Even the location and excavation of the cave were completed by them together. Others are also very considerate and will not disturb He.
Laura spent some time alone, and when Herola recovered, she would also invite them to visit her one-to-one replica of her former nest.
When he was told that the Dawn Territory was raising a huge number of slimes, Qie Ye was stunned.
When Lu Yu said that they even had a slime girl, Qie Ye was convinced that this was a lie to dispel his doubts, but fortunately, the two of them didn't react as if they minded bringing slimes in, so that would be fine.
.
Entering the cave where Qie Ye lives, he pushed through the layers of spider silk at the cave entrance, stared at the rough rock walls on both sides, the rugged road that was almost impassable, and then looked at Qie Ye with his eight legs extending out of the cave like walking on the ground.
He couldn't help but sigh, this was not what he said about the poor living environment. This guy's cave was even worse than Herola's.
The deeper you go, the more humid the cave becomes. The rock walls exude a musty and mossy smell. You see that the food stored in the cave is actually dried fish made from fish that live in the underground river. The water is purified with water elements, and the vegetable supplement is cold salad.
Lichen, or eat it dry, and occasionally dissolve the snakes and scorpions that break into the cave and drink it as broth.
Qie Ye has lived here for almost four years, and Herola has to call him a master when she sees him.
As an alchemist short of money, Qieye gave up all material needs and invested all his money in alchemical breakthroughs. The wealth he saved four years ago has been squandered, and all of it has become a bag next to the alchemy room.
A bag of trash.
Compared to the disastrous layout of the entire crypt, Qie Ye's alchemy room was neat and spacious. It was the only place he was willing to spend time repairing.
There has never been a guest in the "home". Qie Ye trembled all over and blushed hotly: "I made you laugh...I, myself, don't really care about this."
"Besides fish, lichen, and insect solution, what else do you eat?" Sierra couldn't help but ask.
Qie Ye blushed and picked up a jumping slime: "Just take a sip... The elements extracted from the slimes will enrich their bodies, and the slurry with magic and elemental power can satisfy me.
For a long time...if you think it tastes bad, sprinkle some salt to enrich your taste."
Looking at the entire Mela, this is also extremely explosive...
Lu Yu and Sera were shocked by the difficulty of cutting leaves. This was the most miserable magician they had ever seen. He had no combat experience, social barriers, and no ability to survive at all. Herola knew that living in seclusion was the key to farming.
Skills improve comfort. Qie Ye lives a life based on the minimum requirement of maintaining physiological functions without deterioration. If he was not a mutant spider, but an ordinary person, he would probably have turned into a skeleton long ago.
"Before this, you never thought about improving your living environment?"
Qie Ye touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly: "I think about it, but... I have no money, and no one pays attention to what I want to study. That's how alchemists are, no one supports them, no one leads the way...
…It might have been better not to be an alchemist back then, but there is no point in regretting it.”
Kiriye raised his head blankly: "Yes, why did I choose the path of an alchemist in the first place... I can't even remember."
Lu Yu said in surprise: "You have spent all your money. If you had not met us, you would have taken the commission and raised money to complete various experiments. With all due respect, your sixth-level foundation cannot even defeat the more powerful fifth-level monsters."
?”
Qie Ye collected the experimental manuals accumulated over the years. They were piled up in the corner of the room like a mountain, but most of them echoed the bitter taste of failure.
He responded: "Actually, I already want to find Tanya or Zenil... I heard that the former is a particularly wise and kind person, and the latter gave me a verbal promise back then, so I might be able to try my luck."
