91. Planning
"Alger, see for yourself, this is a good fit."
"Hmm, cannibals? Oh my God, that's imaginative," Alger took a cursory look at it, putting the information aside, "Boss, what's going on?" ”
"Well, I already have a plan, I must create a comfortable and undisturbed environment for you to single-handedly take on a gold-level low-level spirit, as for whether you can break through smoothly depends on yourself." Li Yi stirred the sauce in the cup and said.
"Don't worry, I won't mess things up." Alger nodded in agreement.
"The reward for this task is three hundred gold spirit crystals, which is a bit small, so those who have the strength to complete it ignore it, but I think it is indeed worth the price, of course this money belongs to me." Li Yi would pay Alger a proper reward every time he fought, which was the rule of the Shadowwalkers, but this time it was purely Alger's personal action, and he took the initiative to ask for it, so it was not counted in it.
"Okay, I have no objection."
The mission is about a group of cannibal natives living in the dense forests on the nearby Françoline Mountains, this indigenous tribe raises a gold-level spirit, and has to hunt animals in the forest every day, including humans, of course, some of the relatives of the explorers who died there gathered together, wanting to kill the natives and avenge their relatives and friends, but their strength is too weak, and ordinary green-level explorers are simply going to die when they fight it in the home field of that gold-level spirit, they are sad and helpless, so they can only pool money to issue such a mission.
"Generally, gold-level explorers have more than one spirit, so it is difficult to create a separate killing atmosphere, and these gold-level spirits raised by cannibal natives are lonely, which is a good choice." Alger was satisfied with the task.
"Don't die in it, then no one will avenge you." Felder didn't hurt him.
"Humph! What power do you have to avenge me, you can only be beaten. Alger responded with a sneer.
"When I reach the gold level, my body is fully developed, and I can turn on the combat state to the extreme, and when the time comes, the defense and combat state can be switched at any time, and then I comprehend the spiritual skill of 'Giant Soldier', I will be invincible, haha!"
"Yo, it turns out that you haven't developed yet, uncle! No wonder it's so incompetent."
"I'm going to kill you!" Felder was furious and wanted to pounce on Alger to fight, but was stopped by Li Yi.
"Isabella, no matter how noisy the two of them are, throw them into the hole for me, don't disturb me for lunch."
"Yes, sir." Isabella curled up in Li Yi's coat pocket to sleep, revealing the soft fur on her back, and agreed with sleepy eyes.
There are very few gold-level explorers in the city, most of them are teachers in the academy, and usually the green-level and blue-level explorers are already the top here, and the explorer badge worn on the chest is the standard for distinguishing strength, after all, Lingping usually appears in a non-combat state, and it is difficult to judge the strength of the strength.
"I should go get a white-level explorer badge, a little more low-key, well, that's a good idea." Li Yi found that he had no badges, and he was always mistaken for an ordinary person, and it took a lot of trouble to stay in those hotels for explorers.
All three spirits have reached the white level, that is, the lowest E level, and they can be recognized and become white-level explorers, and medium-sized organizations, such as Valentino Academy, have the right to award explorer badges below the green level by themselves, but above the gold level, they will have to go to the three major academies to certify.
Spending two hundred white spirit crystals, Li Yi asked Isabella to show them the spiritual pressure, and released a few spiritual skills, the examiner of the test was just a blue-level explorer, although he was very puzzled that this young man obviously had blue-level strength but only took the white-level badge, but the green-level spiritual pressure released by Isabella made him dare not ask more, the explorer world is so powerful, without strength, he doesn't even have the right to speak.
After lunch, Li Yi's plan has taken shape, just as magic needs some props, he also went to buy some tools, this time, the protagonist of the plan is Alger, and the supporting role is poison.
Speaking of poison, he is not familiar with it, and he is even less clear about the means of poisoning, this kind of poisonous knowledge will not appear in the city-state library, and the academy library will not have these tools of intrigue among mortals, no matter how violent the poison is, a healing spirit can be solved instantly, and the vaccine of the poison spirit can also be cowardly.
For this reason, he specially visited an old local witch doctor, and spent twenty white spirit crystals to ask for two flavors, a white powder that dissolves in water and a red crystal that dissolves in oil, and when heated and mixed, they can form a deadly poison.
Satisfied, he came out of the witch doctor's leopard-skin tent, and suddenly there was an old woman with a rickety body, her teeth were like a beggar's broken bowl, with many openings, black and dirty, and she was dressed in an old cloth robe with patches sewn, and she held a prayer wheel in her hand, and muttered something she didn't know what she was saying.
"Don't use poison to hurt people! The gods will punish you! She suddenly opened her faint old eyes, grabbed Li Yi's arm with her thin hand, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Haha, I'm a god, now I'm going to take poison and punish others!" Li Yi laughed and knocked off the old woman's hand, "The gods of the foolish and the gods of the weak are all fantasized by themselves to save themselves, nothing more than to bring them a rich life, nothing more than to satisfy their own selfish desires, even if they are satisfied, there will be more selfish desires, more gods." ”
"You will be punished!" There was a hoarse scolding from behind.
"Crazy woman, don't mess with my business!" The angry old witch doctor lifted the tent and walked out of the tent and chased the old woman away.
Li Yi thought carefully about conscience and human nature on the way back, and the old woman also brought him some touches, human nature refers to the character of people formed under certain social systems and historical conditions, Mani is kind, shy and timid, sensitive and a little autistic, which is related to the family environment in which she lost her parents since she was a child, that is to say, the environment creates human nature.
"In Mies, all the suffering is the root of the formation of my current human nature, and this involuntary will is imposed on me, so I ignore life, just as others ignore my life at that time, I firmly believe that the weak must yield to the strong, because at that time I could not resist the violence of fate against me, which is the acquired humanity attached to me, and my own tendency makes me cherish food, and the love given to me by others will be reciprocated, treat my companions fairly and justly, and help those I love, This is my nature, whether it is my own nature, whether it is the human nature that the outside influences me, there must be a reason for their existence, why are people now evil, greedy, there will be all kinds of desires, what is good will be taken for themselves, what is good will be taken for themselves, what is good will be destroyed because of jealousy, laziness and want to get something for nothing, they are not born dirty, they are just infected by this filthy world, and they are brought into this way by the moral trends of the world, just like a life of long-term imprisonment will institutionalize and institutionalize prisoners, Even if you are released on parole, you are not willing to leave the environment where you live day and night, and when you are released from prison after completing your sentence, you will be confused, overwhelmed, and even re-offend in order to return to the environment where you have lived for many years or commit suicide. Li Yi examined himself carefully, and when there were doubts in his heart, he had to clean it again to see what was wrong, if it was serious, it would be difficult to clean, and he would feel that the infected place was correct, and he called this kind of doubt a thought disease.
The carriage was completely useless when climbing the mountain, Li Yi had to replace the car with foot, holding a hiking stick, heading towards the Françoline mountains, Felder wanted to carry him on his back, but Li Yi refused, he was afraid that this careless guy would fall him to death.
The laurel trees in the dense forest are past the flowering season, their leathery leaves still exuding a rich aroma that is very refreshing, mussel ferns are everywhere, there are many gooseberries and raspberries, and occasionally a fox or two burrows out of the bushes. Deep in the mountains, the elevation is a world of cedar and masson pine, and you can occasionally see the snow-capped summit through the dense forest.
"There are people over there," Li Yi suddenly felt that a group of explorers had entered his perception range, there were six people in total, thirteen spirits, five blue-level spirits, and the rest were white-level, "Go and see." ”
In the middle of the mountains, there is a group of low-level explorers, maybe it is a good idea to go together, but the point is that the sound of Felder chewing on the dried meat of the fire eater is going crazy, it is like a hundred pigs and a hundred horses eating in the trough at the same time! I wish I could have cut Felder's mouth off! Li Yi especially agrees with Alger's words.
When I got closer, I saw that these were two women, four boys, and five teenagers, all sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing the uniforms of Valentino Academy, all of whom were students, led by two richly dressed noble children, two girls accompanied them, and the other four were children of commoner families, but three of them seemed to be very clever, and they were very good at currying favor, playing with these two noble children as if they were helping, gagging, and a thin boy who had been hanging silently at the end of everyone, and seemed to be incompatible with this groupHe was very dark, had a big ugly nose, his hands were very rough, he seemed to do heavy work a lot, and his wrist joints were deformed and swollen.
"In this mid-month assessment of the academy, we actually drew the task of collecting the velvet fern, and we have to go to this hellish place to suffer, but fortunately we are accompanied by two beautiful ladies, otherwise it is really lonely and boring." An aristocratic young man with a slender face and good skin care said.
"Yes, they are as beautiful as the goddesses of the jungle!" A boy chimed in.
"To be exact, it is the goddess of the jungle, Xuzhenx, whose beauty amazes the gods." Another slightly chubby aristocrat calmly showed his erudition, and immediately remembered many compliments next to him.
The big-nosed boy who always followed the back of the line always had a sad face, and he didn't say a word, his hair was messy, his underwear was very shabby, and he was covered with the college's brand-new school uniform, which looked a little nondescript, in short, very annoying, and unwelcome.
Suddenly, a teenager frowned and asked, "Why did I hear it from the beginning, the sound of crackling, as if a sow had stepped on the mud, it's disgusting!" ”
"yes, I'm weird too! What kind of sound is that? A girl also frowned, she looked average, but her well-developed waist and bulging chest were her capital to show off.
"It's the poor man's shoes! Oh my God, he was wearing such a pair of tattered shoes, and the soles were all unglued, what a shame on us! They searched and searched for it, only to find that it was the ugly big-nosed shoe at the back of the line, the sole of which had fallen off halfway and soaked in water, so that it made such a noise.
"Pull this disappointing dog here, I'm going to give him a few slaps! In fact, this time it is not the most unlucky thing to be sent to the Françoline Mountains to collect the velvet fern, and it is really disgusting to be assigned to a group with this poor ugly rub! The thin-faced nobleman said in a sharp voice.
A few gloating civilian-born teenagers forcibly pulled him over, and his big nose looked very wooden, and he bowed his head silently, ready to bear the insult.
"Smack! Syllable! The loud slap came far away in the forest, and the thin face slapped a few times, and felt that the protruding bones on the other party's face hurt his hand, so he said: "You come to fight, this dog's face is very hard, and the hands of Lao Tzu are hurting." ”
The three civilian teenagers were treating people who were weaker than themselves with extreme ferocity, as if someone was forcing them to do so with a whip, and the cruelty of their bones and the courage to bully the weak were all aroused.
The three of them took turns to open the bow, the crisp slap sound came and went, the face of the big nose was swollen and red, and a stream of blood flowed from the corner of the mouth.
"Big brothers and sisters, what game are you playing?" Li Yi came out of the woods and asked with a smile, he was only twelve or thirteen years old, compared to these teenagers, it was appropriate to call him so.
These teenagers all stopped, looked at him curiously, and from the quiet woods, suddenly came out of such a young man, what is his origin? The white-level explorer badge on his chest surprised them very much, such a young white-level explorer was a kind of strength in itself.
"Who are you? I am Aldana of Valentino Academy, an official member of the Livia family. The thin-faced boy didn't dare to slack off, took a step forward, and introduced his identity.
"I'm Jonas from House Loyda, and we're both students at Valentino House." Another aristocratic boy said.
"I'm Dimante Dis from Sky Academy, I'm here to complete a mission, and I'm just on the way with you, so why don't you go along?" Li Yi smiled and said what he meant.
"From Sky Academy?" The thin-faced teenager named Aldana seemed a little displeased.
Li Yi Mingrui noticed his little jealousy, and sneered in his heart, "Yes, you won't have heard of it, right?" Sky Academy is just an academy in the Red Rock City-State, and it's normal for people in your small place not to hear about it. ”
"What!?" The chubby boy Jonas was irritated by Li Yi's lofty tone, and he took a breath and wanted to come forward to teach him a lesson.
"Don't be impulsive, let me come." Aldana was also annoyed, their family was indeed a first-class big family in the local area, but compared to the Sky Academy, they were like giant beasts and rats, and they were only second-tier members in their own family, not belonging to the core class, and the family would not conflict with anyone in the Sky Academy for them.
"You're not welcome here, please leave, I'm already polite, haven't I? You've made me so upset, if you don't have the status of a student at Sky Academy, I'll kill you! He pointed to Li Yi's face unceremoniously and said.
