News about Lu Li is continuing to ferment in Midnight City.
"The return of the exorcist of the old days" is talked about a lot.
In the early morning of this morning, many people gathered outside the gate of the manor of Klein University. Some were reporters, some were writers or painters who wanted to collect news, and there were also some elderly people. Most of them were witnesses of the Great Migration of Spin City.
The Knights of the Ring are maintaining order to prevent heretics or pickpockets from getting in.
Wow
Dean Lawrence drew the curtains, looked at the figure in front of the fireplace, and couldn't help but sigh: "This place hasn't been so lively in a long time."
"Why are there so few students here?" Lu Li asked.
Although knowledge such as plantology, linguistics, and archeology were of little use in the strange era, and could even be considered useless, with the giant tree on its back, it seemed that Crans University should not be so neglected.
"There are many reasons."
Dean Lawrence sighed and left the window, preparing to sit down opposite Lu Li when there was a knock on the door.
"Dean Lawrence, the city hall has sent someone." The assistant looked at Lu Li as he spoke, obviously concerned with him.
"Let them wait."
Dean Lawrence replied, regaining the temperament of a dean, only in front of Lu Li would he appear ordinary or even...humble.
He sat in another chair: "Jushu admissions have been invitation-only from the beginning. Many young people or families who are unwilling to be selected will come to the surface and try to be recruited by Jushu through outstanding performance."
"It's useless. The college above the giant tree doesn't care about the situation below, nor does it care about the students. At most, it occasionally responds to our calls. So as time goes by, students who can't get results drop out one after another, and there is no
People are willing to come.”
"Some of the remaining students still don't give up, and some just want to learn knowledge."
Dean Lawrence hesitated to speak: "Your Excellency Lu Li..."
"What do you teach?" Lu Li knew what he wanted to say.
Dean Lawrence was a little disappointed, but at least it wasn't a bad rejection.
"Professor Nuno Alexandrovich's archeology, studying historical relics and relics. Professor Cesar's linguistics, inheriting human language. Professor Daisy Schmidt's plantation, learning to plant those...
Crops that cannot grow. Professor Leon and Professor Tesmi’s basic knowledge, which is also the subject with the most students, teaches the knowledge to survive in strange times..."
"Don't you have mathematics and history?" Lu Li asked.
"Mathematics is only available in Wiener Freeport. As for history." Dean Lawrence paused slightly. "It belongs to the knowledge on the giant tree."
"Is it because of pollution?"
"Yes... a lot of our knowledge has been contaminated." Dean Lawrence's expression became bitter: "Knowledge that is not contaminated usually means unimportant... so the appearance of the university is never taken seriously."
In other words, there is status but no power.
"The plants still can't grow now."
"Ordinary plants, yes... only plants that are fused or contaminated with pollution are not restricted." Dean Lawrence replied. "The giant tree is called Botany, and the bloody farmland cultivated in the north of Midnight City is a crop that is fused with pollution."
.”
"Can you give me some seeds?"
Thinking that the improvement of human nature would allow seeds to germinate, Lu Li said to Dean Lawrence: "Pollution-free ordinary plant seeds."
However, the effect will become noticeable only when there is more than ten levels of humanity. Now Lu Li can't even make the seeds germinate.
"Professor Daisy Schmidt has some. I'll ask him to send them to you later." Dean Lawrence did not ask why.
"You can use me for publicity," Lu Li said.
No matter what, knowledge is knowledge, even if it is useless.
"Actually, we have other requests..." Dean Lawrence slowed down and looked at Lu Li seriously: "We hope to hire you as a professor at Crans University of Appearance. You can teach weirdology or exorcism.
Human Studies.”
"My knowledge may not be useful," Lu Li said.
All he possesses is "outdated" knowledge from more than 20 years ago.
"What about exorcism?" Dean Lawrence asked again.
Lu Li thought for a moment, but still shook his head gently: "I won't stay here for too long."
"Are you leaving Midnight City?" Dean Lawrence said in shock. "I thought you would leave only after you become familiar with this world..."
"I'm looking for someone. She may be in the Main Continent."
Lu Li said to Dean Lawrence.
"And exorcism doesn't lend itself to being a subject."
However, after being persuaded by Dean Lawrence, Lu Li became a distinguished professor at Crans University and was willing to give a few lectures to answer questions from students and some people who were not students.
Dean Lawrence left the room to meet with the city hall staff. Soon after, Lu Li knocked on the wooden door of Catalina's room.
"Put on your equipment and let's go to the old sewer to pick up Pusius." Lu Li said to Catalina, who was wrapped in a fluffy goose feather bathrobe.
This is not considered clothing, but Catalina likes the furry feel so much.
"That little guy? No problem."
Catalina left the door, took off her bathrobe without shame, and walked naked towards the pile of clothes piled at the foot of the bed.
Lu Li's eyes briefly paused on the dozen or so hideous scars of different lengths on her back, and he looked out the window at the giant tree.
"I never knew my clothes were so smelly..." Catalina frowned and said, putting on her leather armor, the smell of sourness and blood hit her face, almost making it hard for her to breathe.
After getting dressed neatly and finally sheathing their swords, Catalina and Lu Li left the top floor and headed for the side door.
There are too many people gathered at the gate, and they all came because of Lu Li. They may be blocked and unable to get out.
However, before he reached the manor that appeared to be Klein's University, a hurried call came from behind.
"Your Excellency Lu Li, Your Excellency Lu Li"
Professor Daisy Schmidt and a fat, panting guard came over and asked uneasily: "You guys, where are you going...?"
"We have a companion in the old sewers."
"Do you want to pick him up? You can leave this matter to us. For your safety, it's best not to run around..." Daisy Schmidt breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Is he weird?
"
"An alien or a different species." Lu Li replied. "You don't know him."
Daisy Schmidt looked at Catalina: "You can let Miss Catalina lead the team there."
"I'm fine."
Catalina replied that she seemed to have a good relationship with them.
"That's up to you." Lu Li said to Catalina. He knew what Daisy Schmidt was worried about.
Lu Li returned to his room and waited. As morning approached, Catalina returned.
In his arms he held a ball of cloth wrapped in gray cloth.
Throwing it to the ground casually, Pusius' green face and dog body emerged from it.
