You no longer have to eat sticky slime, and you will most likely not have to think about food reserves for some time in the future. This sense of peace of mind makes beef extra delicious.
Of course, it was impossible for Lu Yu to feed Lulutis with his own hands. After he rinsed it, he picked up the beef with chopsticks and asked Lulutis to stretch out his tentacles to pick it up.
After all, he couldn't find where Lulutis' mouth was.
Lulutis was not interested in the damp chili powder and ate the beef slices quickly with salt.
They agreed to eat together, but Lu Yu insisted on feeding Lulutis before he had time to eat his own.
"Speaking of which, your home was blown up and you disappeared. Won't your friends try to find you?"
Lu Yu, who had been thinking about escorting Lulutis home during this period, remembered this.
The tree hole suddenly became quiet, and the wind blowing in along the gap in the baffle worked hard to disperse the pervasive silence.
"No one will come looking for me."
Lu Yu, who realized that he might be stepping on a thunderbolt with this question, even chewed less.
Investigating the topic of why no one approached Lulutis would only continue the awkward atmosphere, and he was eager to find a new topic.
Although the two have been getting along for more than half a month, both parties have been very careful not to explore each other's past. At most, they only mentioned it occasionally during casual chat, and then chatted about other things.
Lu Yu has no intention of breaking this tacit understanding. This is how we get along. If people are willing to talk, they will naturally do so. If they are not willing, asking questions will only make you appear to be particularly gossipy.
"I have some problems with my background, so my popularity is not very good, so no one cares about what's going on with me."
Perhaps what happened today made both parties confirm that the other was a qualified companion. Unexpectedly, Lulutis continued the topic.
Faced with this thread that was obviously thrown by Lulutis to let him advance the topic, Lu Yu did not hesitate.
"not a single one?"
"not a single one."
After hesitating for a while, Lulutis added: "There was one before."
"That princess?" Lu Yu clearly remembered that Lulutis helped a person suppress the riot.
"Well, it's her, but we can't be friends after that."
"She used me to suppress the riots for her and gain capital to seize power."
"I hated being dragged into the struggle by her friendship, so I left the capital as a subject of the empire and ran alone to the wilderness to build my own mansion."
"Lu Yu, you said that after you send me home, if you can't find a way to become a magician and want to eat and die under my protection, it's not too late to change your request now."
Lulutis suddenly laughed: "My home is not fun at all. It is also very deserted. I will probably have to rebuild it after I go back."
"Of course, if your requirements are very low, you will still have basic living security. After all, a seventh-level magician can live quite well if he occasionally goes out to make some extra money."
Lu Lutis didn’t quite believe it when she said that she was not the eldest lady Lu Yu. After all, people like her who have low experience, high achievements, and are divorced from reality in the details of life often have the air of being a master.
But her family was destroyed and no one came to look for her, and she also said that there was something wrong with her family background, which made Lu Yu doubt the family background of Lulutis.
Lu Yu took a bite of beef and said nonchalantly: "I won't change it."
"you sure?"
"I traveled through time and played survival games with a group of small animals here for a whole month. My psychological expectations were already very low."
"If I don't have any achievements in magic, then I will definitely need a lot of time to study my own way out. Your protection is still indispensable."
"This is the retreat I chose for myself, and I won't change it."
Lulutis' tentacle gently pressed on Lu Yu's forehead, but he subconsciously pushed it away.
"I remember very clearly that you just used these two tentacles to grab meat and eat it. Have you washed your hands?"
Lulutis originally wanted to complete an invalid promise in advance with the etiquette of a magician signing a contract to show that she valued Lu Yu's request.
She also thought about it, and then immediately signed a formal contract with Lu Yu after releasing part of the seal contract on her body.
Lu Yu's move, coupled with his words, immediately broke up the atmosphere that Lulutis had created.
Lulutis became angry when she thought about her wish to take this guy so seriously.
She gritted her teeth and said: "Wash, I'll go out and rub the snowflakes in, hum!"
Lu Yu didn't understand why Lulutis was humiliating, why did she need to be angry just to wash her hands?
He could understand that the tentacle came over and planned to enter the study time. After all, it was indeed time for the two of them to do homework for each other.
But you have to wash your hands first.
Is it polite to touch your head with a tentacle that has grasped meat and touched oil?
Do you know how tortured it is to take a bath in cold weather and how much courage it takes?
Lu Yu and Lulutis basically spent the next month nestled in a tree hole urging each other to speed up the loading of the language module.
During this period, Lu Yu and Lulutis once again returned to the place where the Earl's eldest son's army was wiped out.
The monsters and beasts who had a party kept the place extremely clean, even carrying the bones to other places.
Lulutis said that in this case, even experienced magicians and adventurers would not be able to detect any useful information.
The food party of monsters and beasts destroyed all traces, and even the evidence of this group of people's existence in this world was annihilated.
All the food that was too late to take away disappeared, and only the skeleton of the cow was left, together with the naan that Lu Yu thought was too plain and too hard for monsters to eat.
Regarding Lu Yu's idea, Lulutis told him thoughtfully that not only slimes were omnivorous creatures.
Fortunately, there are no omnivorous monsters in this area that like to devour gold and iron, so the swords and armors are completely preserved.
After searching for a while, Lu Yu happily dug out a topaz for decoration from the hilt of a sword with the help of Lulutis, which was considered a small fortune.
As for the pair of mithril armor that could obviously be sold for a good price, Lu Yu didn't take it.
Lulutis was curious as to why Lu Yu, who had been planning expenses and thinking about travel expenses, let go of this valuable thing.
"No matter where I exchange this topaz, I can say that I got it accidentally."
"A pair of mithril armor does not fit my body size, and I am not a magician who knows how to enchant, yet I carry it around with me and sell it everywhere."
"The earl's eldest son has just died. If I think about it intentionally or unintentionally, I can't escape suspicion no matter how I explain it."
"Just let it stay there. The battle marks on the armor will tell anyone who picks him up that the Earl's eldest son died at the hands of a monster."
"No matter what your ability, how much money you can make, money that is beyond your ability, even if you get it, you may not be able to keep it, and it may also lead to disaster."
"Until you and I have enough strength to deal with external crises, we must seek stability in everything."
Lu Yu expressed his creed.
As the weather gets colder and colder, monsters that lack food will naturally become more and more active.
After finishing the word "steady" to the end, Lu Yu returned to the tree hole and arranged the collected branches outside again, expanding the warning range again.
The language module was loaded at the most critical moment, and both Lu Yu and Lulutis began to sprint on the grammar link.
Every day in the tree cave, two people practice speaking awkwardly and stiffly.
One person spoke extremely blunt Esperanto, and the other person spoke Chinese with a weird accent.
The scene where these two people stand together and talk is called a chicken talking to a duck.
Lulutis felt that the Esperanto spoken by Lu Yu was as smooth as the road that was run over by a carriage. There was not even a tone of bullying, and it was the same sound no matter how you heard it.
Lu Yu felt that Lulutis' Chinese would never be smooth and smooth, and she had as many faults as himself.
But they both quickly realized something after laughing at each other.
Although it was awkward to say it, at least I could understand it and heard it clearly.
Lulutis learned Chinese and discovered that her name had the same pronunciation as Lu Yu's.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, discovered many wonderful misunderstandings in pronunciation after learning what Lulutis called Esperanto, and these "misunderstandings" became the encrypted codes between him and Lulutis.
Just when Lulutis was about to explain the meaning of the words again and again, a crisp "pop" sound startled the two of them.
Lu Yu immediately looked at the burning branches in the bonfire, while Lulutis immediately drifted towards the baffle of the tree hole and looked out.
Blue eyes lit up in the darkness, and with the flickering light in his eyes, this uninvited guest was getting closer and closer to the tree hole.
The branches buried under the snow made crisp noises one after another, warning Lu Yu that he was approaching dangerously.
Lu Yu, who came to the baffle, naturally saw this scene, but he and Lulutis were not afraid, just a little surprised.
The white wolf held a slime in its mouth that had dried up its juices and had a shriveled body, and slowly walked to the entrance of the tree hole.
This unlucky slime had been slapped by the white wolf and was almost split into two parts. The soft body tissue inside was also covered with a layer of ice in the cold weather.
The white wolf put the slime on the ground, pushed it against the tree hole with his paws, leaned down slightly, and looked straight at the hole with his huge eyes.
Lu Yu wanted to see Lulutis's expression, but Lulutis had no face.
"Let's go out and take a look. They're all here with slimes in their mouths. They can't lure us out and eat them in one bite." Lu Yu said, "The meat from both of us is not enough for him to hunt the slimes."
The wind was howling tonight. When he walked out of the tree hole, the snowflakes hit Lu Yu's face. He only felt the sound of howling ghosts and wolves all around him.
Seeing Lu Yu walking out, Bai Lang pushed the slime hard with his mouth and let it slide in front of the two of them.
Lulutis turned over the slime with her tentacles and said, "Another unlucky jungle slime."
Lu Yu's mouth smelled like grass for no reason.
When there is beef to eat, who would eat slime...
But White Wolf was obviously here to thank them for their kindness in saving him before. He finally found a slime. If he didn't accept it, White Wolf might have to find other strange things to fight for.
When the time comes, it may not be the slime that looks so friendly...
And the white wolf might get injured again.
It was rare for a being to show kindness to them in this remote mountain forest. Because the misunderstanding put the other party in danger, both Lu Yu and Lulutis felt it was inappropriate.
Okay, okay, now that we have seasonings, maybe we can make the slime taste more delicious?
