Chapter 341 Grounded
There seems to be no difference between mid-August and mid-July. The heat is still the same and there is still the same amount of rain.
We finally saw some sunshine in the afternoon, but by the time after dinner, dark clouds gathered overhead again, and it was about to rain heavily again.
"You seem more tired lately."
"Yes, my sleep time is a bit short."
Kaya and Perenli left the cafeteria and walked on the road to the dormitory. When Kaya asked, Perenli complained:
"Mainly because of Sistia and Sally, they kept me playing chess and games all day long until midnight every day."
Since the incident in Mu Xing City, Sistiya's clinginess seems to have become more serious. She has dinner parties every three days and plays cards and chess games with Pei Renli whenever she has time.
"Fortunately, she finally lost interest. I heard that she plans to spend the night at Sally's house outside the school in the next two days."
The relationship between these two girls, one is the daughter of a powerful tycoon in Muxing City, and the other is the princess of Brevoir, is heating up very quickly, and it feels like it won’t be long before they have sex with each other.
It doesn't matter. Pei Renli doesn't understand. If you just do it, why are you dragging me along?
"Thanks to her, I haven't slept well these past few days."
"I think you should spend less time reading."
Kaya said worriedly:
"With your kind of work and rest, the chance of sudden death is very high."
"Don't worry, I've prepared a sleep-compressing potion. As long as Cistia and Sally don't drag me out in the middle of the night, I can go back to my normal schedule."
Do you call sleeping three hours a day a normal schedule?
Kaya wanted to complain, but when the words came to her lips, she finally swallowed them.
Because she knew that no matter what, Pei Renli would not change his approach.
"Speaking of fatigue, you have been trained very badly recently. Is the teacher angry?"
Since the beginning of August, the training intensity of martial arts practitioners seems to have reached a higher level. In the first few days, many people simply lay on the ground and could not get up after training. The cafeteria has adjusted its time and opened meals one hour later to accommodate these people.
Slowly.
"Maybe I'm a little anxious, after all, at this time."
"Ah? What do you mean?"
"Haven't you heard of it?"
Kaya said a little surprised:
"During October to December, people from other adventurer schools will come for exchange visits."
"What's going on? This is the first time I've heard of it."
The most famous among the adventurer schools is Naspar's, because it was the front line against the violent demon king back then, but that doesn't mean it's the only one.
Inspired by the violent demon king, there are many adventurer schools around the world. Almost every two years, schools will rotate to Naspar for exchange visits.
This kind of behavior is almost equivalent to a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, because the Adventurer School in Naspar is not only the most famous, it was also the best Adventurer School. Even the worst students here can be regarded as student representatives in other schools.
The so-called exchange is actually just to let people from other schools come here to experience the cutting-edge fierce competition.
However, after the violent demon king disappeared, Naspar's adventurer school declined rapidly, and many other adventurer schools were forced to close their doors.
But there are still some schools that still receive support from the countries where they are located. After twenty years of development, they have completely surpassed the original leaders.
At this time, if they still come to communicate, it is no longer a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, but purely to watch a joke.
"Many adventurer schools have become places where the rich and powerful are gilded. Although I don't think they are very strong, they definitely come to Naspar to watch the jokes."
Adventurers made great efforts to fight against the tyrannical demon king. It is normal for powerful people to want to use their status as adventurers to gild their faces, just to put gold on their faces.
Moreover, during the period of the tyrannical Demon King, there were many dignitaries who worked as adventurers incognito and were proud of their identities. Their descendants would naturally follow suit.
Therefore, many adventurer schools in rich countries have become gilding fields.
When Kaya explained this to Perenli, her eyes were a little downcast, but Perenli didn't notice because he was not in a good mental state.
"Whatever, since there are second-year seniors here, it's none of our business."
"No, quite the opposite."
Kaya said:
"The second-year seniors are about to graduate. They often go on missions and don't come back for a month."
The second year is mainly about missions, and they are all long-distance missions. There will no longer be day trips like the first grade.
It is difficult to arrange time, and most of the second-year students may not be here, so the so-called exchanges with other schools mainly focus on first-year students.
It’s no wonder that the teachers have all been on the receiving end of gunfire lately. Even Teacher Grace, who has always been a bit of a loser, has been very diligent. Not only did she give Pei Renli and Eve some tricks, she even taught them a few new spells.
Obviously knowing that others are here to see a joke, of course I don't want to be treated as a joke, so I have to show my most awesome side and slap the other person in the face.
That's pretty much the reason.
While talking, the two of them walked down to the dormitory. Pei Renli said hello to Kaya and went back to his room. He had many things to do. Pei Renli didn't really care whether the Adventurer School lost face or not.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Pei Renli's daily life is very busy, and today is no different.
He returned to the dormitory, immediately opened the spell book, took out the parchment and ink, and began to copy the scroll.
Time passed by little by little, until Pei Renli stretched out, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, feeling that the time was almost up, then he stopped writing.
He put everything away, opened the drawer, and took out a dagger.
Judging from the forging process, it can only be said that it is pretty good. It is neither a high-quality product nor a low-quality product. It is more like something coming off the assembly line.
Run your fingers along the handle of the dagger, and you can see a steel mark at the connection between the blade and the handle.
That is the symbol of the Republic of Tula.
This is the dagger that Ofen used to stab his own palm. It was obtained from several adventurers who claimed to be lost.
The national emblem on the dagger shows that this thing was once an ordnance, and the Republic of Tula is not trying to hide anything. It is equivalent to bluntly saying that I am responsible for the lizard people's misfortune.
After all, in their view, even if all the lizardmen were not dead, they would not cause any trouble, and there was no need to cover up.
They mixed the spores of the Lord of Rot into the food given to the lizardmen. This was the cause of the plague on the lizardmen tribe. The spores would grow rapidly when exposed to stomach acid, turning the lizardmen into humanoid mushrooms from the inside.
It feels like the Republic of Tula is treating the lizardmen as test subjects. These guys are really unlucky.
But it happened that Pei Renli had a special medicine in hand, and because of Eve's pursuit of perfection in alchemical products, she optimized the original complicated and cumbersome processes and expensive raw materials.
With the current formula, even a fishman can easily make a potion using a large earthen jar, and the required materials are piled up in the sea of trees.
The lizard people burned all the contaminated food, mixed the potion with boiling water at a ratio of 1:10, and then poured it into the infected lizard people. The cure rate was unexpectedly high.
To be honest, Pei Renli was surprised, because this potion was not a specialized oral medicine. He could only say that drinking it would not cause any harm.
If the potion is useless, it will only separate the healthy lizardmen from the infected lizardmen. The former will come to Meteor Lake to live with the fishmen, while the latter will have to stay where they are to fend for themselves.
According to the results of the early investigation of the maid golem, almost one-third of the lizardmen were infected. Pei Renli estimated that only five or six hundred lizardmen would join his command. As a result, the potion was surprisingly powerful, and only a few of the severe cases were infected.
Most lizardmen recover within 1 to 5 days.
The surge in population has brought food pressure, but it has also brought a large number of laborers. Pei Renli has been very tired these days, not only because he was walked by Sidiala to play, but also because he was always at night
Sneak back to the Demon King's City and deal with the problem of these lizardmen.
He originally planned to stay in the Adventurer School for two years to improve his strength first. This decision was not wrong, but the problem at school was that Pei Renli didn't have much time to deal with the problem of the Demon King's City.
After all, someone might knock on his door at any time during the day, and he had to wait until it was quiet at night, otherwise there would still be risks.
In the dead of night, it was time to sleep, so Pei Renli had to compress his sleep.
In short, if you persist for a while and get on the right track, unless something unexpected happens again, Pei Renli won't need to be as nervous as he is now.
After all, he had already made a plan, and all that was left was to follow the plan.
At this time, the teleported aura lit up on one side of the dormitory wall, and Ravna walked out of the aura.
When Pei Renli saw it, he immediately stuffed the dagger back into the drawer.
He has placed a magic alarm or even a magic trap in his room. Although this cannot prevent others from intruding, it can remind Pei Renli if someone has been here.
"Let's go back to Demon King's City. We have too many things to do recently."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With a wave of his hand, Pei Renli extinguished the lights in the room and relied on Ravna's teleportation ability to return.
In common sense, a country's leaders have to read a large number of documents every day and handle every scheduled event or emergency.
Although Perrenli's kingdom is still being prepared, its current size is equivalent to that of a large village, not to mention that everything is in ruins and there should be a lot of things to be busy with.
So, what is the first thing Pei Renli does when he returns to Demon King's City?
He raised his palm and used the hot air technique as a dryer, blowing the red carpet hanging on the wall.
When Ofen and the Deformed Spider met, it was raining heavily outside. The rain added to their muddy footprints. Ofen even committed suicide to express her sincerity. The red carpet could not be washed without washing it.
But the weather in the sea of trees made it impossible to dry something like a carpet once it was washed. Pei Renli was held back by Cistia for the past two days and had no chance to return to the Demon King's City.
So it has been delayed until now, and the maid golem has washed the carpet, and Pei Renli, the "hair dryer", came back just in time to dry the carpet.
——This devil is too down-to-earth...
