The Honorary Knights team escorted the "extra distinguished guest" back to Vice Dean Chris's house, spontaneously checked the surrounding environment and then left.
Near noon, Claire briefly stayed for lunch, comforting Lu Li during the period.
"Don't worry, I will stay with you when the competition starts. They can't do anything."
Lu Li needs protection, there is no doubt about it.
The competition is different from the real world. It is not reflected in the cruelty, but rather than pure weirdness, humans have changed more and accepted the weirdness of human civilization. They have no sense of ritual and will not follow instincts. They will use wisdom as weapons.
Therefore, it is necessary to be wary of attacks, such as players who want to provoke Lu Li, such as the Mengsk family who just offended, or those who sneak into the participating camps to get rid of the "exorcist who represents the hope of mankind."
"Before the competition, remember to ask your mother for good things. She won't let you get hurt."
After lunch, Claire returned to Giant Tree Academy, and Lu Li's life returned to peace.
The only difference is that Shu Luli found in the study room or Vice Principal Chris's room will be brought back to the attic to read.
This prevented Claire, who came back every few days, from catching new "evidence".
There was no nagging sermon from the previous generation, nor was there the youthful recklessness of the same generation. This made Claire and Lu Li's relationship more pleasant than she imagined.
Vice President Chris did not show up, so occasionally Claire would say that her mother asked her to visit Lu Li, but the authenticity was questionable.
Every other week, Lu Li and Claire will return to Giant Tree Academy and enter the forbidden swamp to harvest humanity.
Truth Belief Lu Li has stopped contacting to prevent his thoughts from being tampered with. So far Lu Li has done a good job without any suspicious curiosity or strong desire to explore.
As time went by, the attic where Lu Li lived gradually evolved into a tree house.
The branches growing on the bed board form a natural curtain, guarding the surroundings of the bed. The buds emerging from the sloping roof hang down. Neighbors around often raise their heads and look at a wild grass growing next to the chimney on the roof.
It's a pity that when Lu Li leaves, they will wither and sleep again.
The March Contest is one week away.
After Claire returned after completing the incident, Lu Li followed her back to Giant Tree Academy after a week and arrived at the swamp hut.
Silver Cross Sloan finished his training last week and left, leaving only Mildred Hempree and the newly-rescued Blitz Tell.
He is also a legend with an autobiography.
Mildred Hemprey, who lives in the cabin all day as a retiree, said it has been dubbed a cozy cabin by those who control it.
Bang
Five gunshots echoed through the forest, attracting the gaze from the safe area, but they could only see numerous forest shadows deep in the swamp.
Lu Li lowered the psychic gun with billowing smoke, loaded the silver-plated bullets, put it in the holster, and returned to the wooden house.
"Your niece Claire has gone back." Mildred Hempry said to Lu Li who was looking around.
Lu Li nodded lightly and lowered his head to enter the hut.
Mildred Hempree picked up the blanket on the sofa and prepared the coffee beans.
"I want to know some information about the March Contest in a week's time." Lu Li sat on the empty sofa.
Blitztail, who was still in his prime, carried the tree corpse into the cabin, his bear-like body blocking a large amount of the dim light from the outside world.
"You want to know the information that is not known on the surface?" Mildred Hempley's words sounded a bit difficult to pronounce, and then she grinded the coffee powder while telling the truth.
"The true meaning of the March Contest is integration..."
Initially, the March Tournament was held by Giant Tree Academy for the upper and lower classes to compete and learn from each other. As the Knights and the Noble Council joined in one after another, the original purpose became the integration of civilizations.
"While weirdness corrodes us, we also corrode weirdness...accept our thinking, our civilization, and our habits."
"While you are looking at the abyss, the abyss is also looking at you." Blitz Tyr said in a low voice as he put down the firewood.
This is the price, the price of conforming to the truth of equilibrium.
As humans master the power of weirdness to fight against weirdness, they are also gradually becoming weirder.
"What about the process of the competition?"
"It's not fixed every year...it's usually three different trials." Mildred Hempry then told the process and results of the previous competitions.
The champion of the last March Contest belonged to the Church of the Midnight Lady. In fact, most of the champions belonged to the church since the Church of the Midnight Lady joined the competition.
There is always debate as to whether the Midnight Lady Church relies on its strength to win the championship or is related to interests.
Jushu Academy is always at the bottom. Although it is the original initiator and main judge of the competition, the students of Jushu Academy are young people and children, and their power cannot be compared with other forces. In fact, if it were not for the support of the lower colleges, they would lose.
Even worse.
This year seems worth looking forward to because of the addition of Lu Li and the addition of two new camps.
Usually the new camp will be deducted a lot of points and be at the bottom because they don't understand the competition system. This is an opportunity for Giant Tree Academy to get out of the quagmire.
Mildred Hempree told Lu Li about two new factions whose answers have yet to be revealed: the Alliance of Spirit Towns, and a certain pantheon of gods.
"Have you read any books recently?"
Mildred Hempree asked, and after receiving a positive answer, he said: "It's not enough... Take this with you, go to the library and show it to the gatekeeper, and ask him to take you to the garbage room. What you need there is
Remember... don't feel weird."
He didn't tell Lu Li why he did this. Taking the leaf specimen given by Mildred Hemprey, Lu Li took the elevator back to the trunk level and showed the leaf specimen to the library gatekeeper.
The silent gatekeeper led Lu Li to an old wooden door in a deserted corner.
Pushing open the door, a bookstore independent of the library appears in front of you.
The gatekeeper had already left. Lu Li stepped into the bookstore and picked up a book on the shelf.
"The Making and Use of Sickles"
Lu Li scanned the covers of other books, "Collection of Detectives", "Guessing Puzzles" and "The Credit goes to Count Lika". Basic but useless knowledge, even mixed with biographies and fantasy stories.
Thinking of Mildred Hempree's last words, Lu Li picked up a few storybooks that were easier to remember, left the library, and returned to the attic of Vice Dean Chris's residence in Midnight City.
In the next few days, Lu Li did not go to the study or bedroom. He stayed in the attic and read the storybooks brought out by the "garbage house".
On the fourth day, Lu Li received a gold-gilt invitation letter from Jushu Academy.
【Dear Sir Lu Li:】
[We sincerely invite you to participate in the top ten competition in three days. May the glory and glory belong to you. 】
[Jushu Academy Tutor Council]
Claire arrived soon after and saw Lu Li packing his luggage and looking back at the attic, which was like a tree house.
"Don't feel sorry, I will let mother find a way to keep them."
Claire said, leading Lu Li back to Giant Tree Academy.
