Five years later, Lu Zhen, who finally learned the language of this continent, also learned a lot about this continent.There was a civil strife in the Great Sui Empire in the East, which was divided into twelve forces, and the king's rule was already far away, and she thought it was worn to the Sui Dynasty at first, but later she learned that it was just the same name.The Holy See of Light and the Lords of Darkness in the West are in the same boat, and the human beings in all the territories covered by these two doctrines are also actively preparing for war for the so-called gods in their hearts.There is still a buffer zone between the two powers, but this area is even more divided by princes and wars.Overall, this is a troubled era, of course, all of this has nothing to do with Lu Yi, an ordinary civilian.Oh, by the way, she's not called Lu Yi now, Ian and Alexa have helped her come up with a new name.Originally, the two were going to call her "Xiao Ji", but Lu still preferred to die, Xiao Ji Xiao Ji, people who don't know still think her name is Xiao Ji, and the sound is about to become small if it drags on a little longer, but fortunately, the two elders are not really so irresponsible, and finally flipped through the dictionary and changed the word Ji Ran to her.With the name in front of her, Lu still hurriedly accepted it, Ji Ran is Ji Ran, it's better than that "chicken", in fact, if it's called "duckling", she can also accept it, Ji Ran followed Ian and Alexa, two elders, to live near a small town called Muffy.A slender gravel road stretches out from the town and winds its way to the foot of Mount Rasier.At the foot of the hill there is a green jungle full of mushrooms and dwarf flowers, and through the jungle you can see an endless meadow that spreads all the way to the top of the mountain, like a turquoise silk horse stretching out and covering the earth.It was a June morning with a blue sky and no clouds.A child drives a flock of sheep from the town of Maffei.Unlike the chaos of big cities, a small town like Maffei is inherently destined to live in peace and ease, and the people live here naturally and welcoming.The child who drove the sheep greeted him by the window, at the door, and by the roadside, but the boy did not stop, but after responding to the crowd quickly, he drove the sheep more quickly, and he had to walk along the path to the halfway point of Mount Rasil, where there was an old wooden house built on the big trees, and in the wooden house there were not only three goats waiting for him to graze, but also a man waiting for him.It was about to leave the town, and there were only a few sparse houses on the side of the road, and a greeting came from the window of another house: "Hab, you are going to the enchanter's hut on the mountain, can you help me bring these bearskin gloves up." ”The shepherd's child finally stopped this time, and he looked at the slightly white and fat woman in the window in surprise and asked, "Aunt Bella with bearskin gloves, this" "This is also something that cannot be helped," the woman replied, "Last winter, my husband was trapped in the mountain in a snowstorm when he was going up the mountain, and it was Ji Ran who saved him."
Later, I have been confused to send something to her to express my gratitude, yesterday a team of merchants entered, I saw that there were bearskin gloves for sale, so I bought a pair, you help me bring them to Ji Ran, saying that this is to repay her for saving her life.Aren't you on good terms with her, you are friends, so Ji Ran, that little girl looks really cute" "No, no," the shepherd's child stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, blushing and laughing: "We are just companions who herd sheep together."
Okay, since you're on the way, I'll help you put these gloves on," Hab, who was embarrassed, didn't notice that a small figure was hiding in the corner of the wall and listening to all his answers, and the corners of his mouth that had been curved up instantly collapsed."
So you brought it with you," Ji Ran listened to his playmate Habu's relay, and then took the bearskin gloves from his hand with a dejected face."
Yes, I also told Aunt Bella that you don't need any thanks, but she was very serious and persistent, so I had to accept it."
Habu replied."
Hab, you go up the mountain alone today, I don't want to go."
Ji Ran was sad, but she didn't want to tell Habu why she was sad."
Ji Ran" "I really don't want to go, and Grandpa Ian said that he will teach Minami the recipe today." ”Habu was disappointed: "Okay then. ”He could only drive the sheep in disappointment, and slowly walked like a mountain.Habu is Ji Ran's playmate, he is not tall, but he is very strong, and he is a complete mountain child.Under his leadership, Ji Ran has learned a lot of skills in the past five years, which can go to trees to dig birds' eggs, jump to the creek to catch fish, scatter grain to catch birds, find holes and catch snakes, and dig pits and catch rabbits is their daily game.Ji Ran is called the cursed fallen son by the people of the town because of his dark eyes and black hair, and Grandpa Ian and Uncle Alexa also have a strange temper and don't like to socialize with others, so the three of them are getting farther and farther away from the rest of the town.Looking at the bearskin gloves in his hand, Ji Ran couldn't help but feel depressed, this thing is definitely not cheap, but I didn't expect Aunt Bella to be willing to scatter her family wealth rather than have the slightest involvement with her.Just because she was a black-haired and black-eyed god, Alexa happened to come over, Ji Ran pouted and threw the bearskin gloves to him, "Uncle, I've sent you." ”So he bury himself in Ian's grandfather's lab and start learning new recipes.Late at night.Ji Ran, who was awakened by the urge to urine, sat up sleepily, crept down the stairs, and was about to go outside the house to release the water, but heard the crackling sound of the wood fire burning in the hall downstairs.What's the matter, grandpa and uncle haven't slept so late, it's possible that the two of them are rippling, and even if these two are really, there is no beauty "Ian, how are you thinking about it" "Alexa, why do you have to let Xiao Ji leave us" "No, Ian, although I never have too much contact with Xiao Ji, I definitely love her no less than you.I didn't want her to leave us, I wanted her to go out and see the outside world. ”"Alexa, the outside world is not beautiful at all, and both the Dark Lord and the Pope of Light are equally evil and cold.""
Yes Ian, we all know that, but she doesn't.She now has great illusions about the outside world, and her heart will not calm down if she is not allowed to recognize the nature of the world. ”Alexa's Grandpa Ian's voice was still reluctant, but weak."
Ian, and you can't let Ji Ran stay by our two old men's side for the rest of his life.Although I look much younger than you because of my cultivation of Douqi, you and I both know in our hearts that we are about the same age, and how long can we accompany Xiao Ji The person who can really accompany her for a lifetime is not us, she has to find this person by herself. ”Ji Ran covered her mouth in surprise so as not to make a sound.Uncle Alexa is about the same age as Grandpa Ian, and they look like father and son, well, at least on the outside.Ji Ran was very glad at the moment that although he was unwilling to learn swordsmanship from Uncle Alexa, he had no objection to learning Douqi.Because of the low interest, the current vindictiveness is only at the level of the second level, but when you get old, you should be able to look a few years younger than your actual age, right, bah, bah, Ji Ran, you are too out of line, what's the point of being a few years younger, it's better to practice diligently, and strive to stay young like Uncle Alexa.The wood in the fire exploded a few more times, and although it was June, the night temperature was still very low halfway up the mountainside."
Alright then, Alexa, when Xiao Ji can become a successful enchanter, let her go to school in Regoz City in Ralbani, I heard that I have an old friend who is still working as a professor of pharmacists there, where can Xiao Ji get the enchanter's grade certificate, if you can, it is better to take the pharmacist's grade certificate as well, this kid seems to be very interested in some strange potion recipes.""
Well, then let's decide."
Seeing that the two had no intention of chatting again, Ji Ran sneaked upstairs again, happily slipped onto the bed, and hid in the quilt and laughed.After so many years in the mountains, I finally have the opportunity to go out and see the outside world and say that I am not happy in my heart, that is fake.There is a small window next to the bed, and the stars outside the window are winking at Ji Ran playfully, as if to say, "Ji Ran, congratulations on finally being able to go out and see the outside world." ”It wasn't until Ji Ran was about to fall asleep again that he remembered something, he just cared about eavesdropping and forgot to release the water, and early the next morning, Alexa dug Ji Ran out of bed.He deeply admired this girl's laziness, a girl who made her sit and condense her fighting spirit but could snore in five minutes, he didn't know what to do except for sincere admiration.In the morning, Ji Ran had to learn swordsmanship and fighting spirit with Alexa, and in the afternoon, he studied enchantment with Ian.However, Ji Ran really hasn't learned seriously a few times in the past five years, after all, compared to these, the bird and rabbit that Habu took her to play is more interesting."
Uncle, let's practice our fighting spirit today."
Thinking about the conversation she heard last night, Ji Ran took the initiative to offer to practice, and she was now particularly greedy for Alexa's vindictiveness.Alexa was surprised: "Why don't you always want to sneak out and play with Habu" "Uncle" Ji Ran pouted dissatisfiedly: "Ji Ran has grown up" God knows how scared she is "Oh hahahaha, okay, grown up Xiao Ji, today we don't learn fighting spirit, but to practice swordsmanship." ”Uncle Alexa couldn't help but laugh."
Gurgle" Ji Ran struck a sudden stump in the bottom of her heart, how could she forget this stubble, Alexa was not only teaching her fighting spirit, but also responsible for teaching her swordsmanship.For the fighting spirit, Ji Ran can still accept it, but she doesn't want to learn swordsmanship at all.The reason is that one day a few years ago, Alexa suddenly came to face Ji Ran and stinked his tendon flesh, revealing oily skin and posing a few extremely powerful ose, and finally encouraged her: "How about it, Xiao Ji envy, as long as you concentrate on practicing swordsmanship, you can have such strong muscles like your uncle." ”Alexa only cared about his own show, completely ignoring that Ji Ran, who was standing in front of him, had been so frightened that Uncle Alexa encouraged him to stop practicing swordsmanship from that day on.Ji Ran's thoughts are: I will only think about training my muscles when my head is caught by the door, as a girl, if I have a body like Alexa, I would rather hit a piece of tofu and commit suicide, and die to thank the world's fellow villagers Alexa was depressed and puzzled for a long time.In the past, as long as he showed his muscles to others, those children were drooling and shouting to practice, how could Ji Ran avoid like a snake and scorpion Finally, one day, Ji Ran was entangled, so he told Alexa what he thought in his heart.Alexa said with an embarrassed face: "Xiao Ji, in fact, many men in the knights like strong women, and it is really strong enough to hold that kind of woman in your arms" Looking at Uncle Alexa who was struggling to guarantee, Ji Ran almost didn't roll his eyeballs into the sky, and he didn't want to be a "strong" woman if he killed her, fortunately, Grandpa Ian also had the same idea, he drove the piece of "tendon meat" out of the door with a cane, "Alexa, don't take out your knightly experience to talk about things, I actually want to instigate our little Ji to marry a dirty and smelly knight who lives with animals all day long and tell you that as long as the old man and I still have a breath of air, you will never think about our little Ji Ran to marry a noble enchanter" Alexa retorted with the same dissatisfaction: "What's so good about the enchanter, I know that the enchantment is hiding in the laboratory all day and doesn't come out, do you want Xiao Ji to suffocate to death or a knight, you can take her all over the world" Grandpa Ian stared at him with round eyes and red neck and yelled: "I want to marry the enchanter" Uncle Alexa was naturally even more unwilling: "I want to marry a knight", "enchanter" and "knight" Ji Ran calmly walked out of the wooden house amid the roar of the two, and also took the door with him, and went to Habu to pick mountain grapes in the forest.That day, I don't know who won or lost in the end, anyway, after that, Alexa never forced Ji Ran to learn swordsmanship again, why did he bring up the old thing again today, "Ji Ran, uncle has thought about it, you don't need to refine swordsmanship, but you must learn some fighting skills, and a girl who is powerless is easy to be bullied if she lives alone outside."
You have to know how to protect yourself. ”Alexa saw the confusion in Ji Ran's eyes and explained.In this way, Ji Ran used a steel sword, and Uncle Alexa used a wooden sword, and they began to fight."
Xiao Ji, stand up, what the hell, you cut myself with a sword but fell" "Xiao Ji, haven't you eaten, your strength is so small, you can't split a crack with a steel sword. ”"Ji Ran, you are the most useless soft-footed shrimp I have ever seen" "Ji Ran, what about your fighting spirit, use it, do you think that your future enemies will also stand here like me and make a motionless defense for you to cut" Alexa's tone became more and more aggressive, and Ji Ran's qi and blood became more and more surging, and after cultivating five years of fighting qi, they have never been as active as today.She gritted her teeth and thought to the bottom of her concern: I want me to cut Uncle Alexa's wooden sword tnnd, and use the steel sword to cut the wooden sword constantly, not to mention Uncle Alexa, even I will look down on myself "Ji Ran, I finally know why you refuse to contact swordsmanship, because you are a waste" "Ah" "Bang" "Little Ji, are your hands better" Ian spread out Ji Ran's palm and carefully examined it, although this is Alexa's trouble, but he has a phobia, So anything that has had physical contact over the years has been done by Ian."
Well, it's much better."
Ji Ran nodded resentfully.She couldn't make even the slightest slit in Uncle Alexa's wooden sword until the tiger's mouth was numb.Grandpa Ian let Ji Ran grasp it twice more, making sure that it would not affect the dexterity of his fingers, then nodded and began to teach the afternoon class."
Xiao Ji, take out ten milliliters of cryolite stock solution.""
Yes."
Don't look at it as just a start, but the difficulty is not small at all.The scales in Grandpa Ian's lab were removed a long time ago.In fact, he didn't need a balance at all, and that balance was specially bought for Ji Ran.Without a balance for precision equipment, Ji Ran had to rely on his own feel to take out the ten milliliters of cryolite stock solution.And it can't be added or subtracted, it must be in place all at once.This is not the most difficult, the most difficult thing is that sometimes the blood of various creatures is often used in the enchantment test, Grandpa Ian will make requirements for the hemoglobin content in these bloods at this time, for example, humans, a woman's hemoglobin content is 1113g100, sometimes Grandpa Ian will ask for the use of 11g100 blood, at this time Ji Ran has to add serum dilution, and at the same time use the matrix method to adjust the blood concentration, so that it meets Grandpa Ian's requirements.The matrix method is a very magical technique taught to Ji Ran by Grandpa Ian, which can adjust the density of the plastid of objects.After a busy afternoon, dinner was goat's milk, jerky, and bread, all three of which had been eaten for five years and had never changed.Although Ji Ran sometimes wants to change something else, even if it's fried meat with green peppers.It's a pity that in Muffy Town, there are only black bread, white bread, cheese, cream, goat's milk, milk and jerky brought by the caravan outside, and the food that can be counted on ten fingers, she actually hasn't changed her usual dinner for five years, Ji Ran should be able to rest, but not today, Grandpa Ian didn't know where to take out a pile of dusty books and put them on the table."
Xiao Ji, the enchanter is not as simple as enchanting an existing weapon.A true enchanter must also be able to find the right materials from his own collection to make the most suitable weapons or armor for enchantment, so as to make the most high-end enchanted equipment.Here's what I've learned from decades of making instruments, and you're going to have to study it every night from now on. ”Grandpa Ian's tone was firm and could not be refused.It wasn't until the full moon rose that Ji Ran was allowed to go back to his room to rest, but Uncle Alexa blocked the staircase door again.Alexa saw a certain tired bird returning to the nest without saying a word, threw the rope in his hand, tied Ji Ran's legs, and then carried it to the big tree behind the house and hung it upside down, and finally pushed her very proudly, so that Ji Ran was like a dried salted fish swaying in the cold night wind for a long time,,; mobile phone reading,
