Chapter 15: You Lost the Game
"Please accept me as a student!"
"I can cook, I can wash dishes, I can do laundry......"
"Even if I can't, I'll learn it right away!"
Xilu closed her eyes and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chu Yun, she didn't know how long she had accumulated the courage to dare to worship in front of so many people today.
Especially when Chu Yun showed such a powerful ability, now those onlookers feel that they are "toads who want to eat swan meat", and they simply don't know how thick the sky is.
Chu Yun looked at Xilu, who was so nervous that his whole body trembled, and thought for a moment.
"Student...... Maybe I really need one. ”
"Really, really?" Xilu looked up at Chu Yun in disbelief.
After Chu Yun experienced his first transformation, he had a new perspective on survival in his transformation form.
It takes a certain amount of time to transform into a monster, 👾 and only when the conditions are met can he turn back into a human, Chu Yun doesn't want to stay in the wild after transforming into a monster.
In this case, a human is needed to cooperate with him.
If you turn into some relatively normal monsters, you can disguise yourself as a demon pet and follow Xilu to enter and leave the human town freely.
Some experiences such as the Treasure Mimic Monster Devouring Person, etc., are easier to improve with the help and cooperation of Shiro.
This Shiro looks silly and should be very obedient, and it is a good thing to take her as an apprentice.
At the same time, Chu Yun needed a guide in this strange continent, and she could also handle chores or something.
"Wait, Lord Chu Yun, I'm also a magician. Can you also take me as an apprentice, my strength is much stronger than her. "A magician dressed in elaborate mage robes stepped forward to take the master.
When Xilu heard this, she looked over angrily.
This is a blonde female mage, whose appearance and figure are not inferior to Xilu, and the size of the core area is even one level higher.
And judging from the weapons and equipment, he should be a noble mage, much more attractive than a civilian girl like Xilu.
The other people around are also ready to move when they see this, maybe they have a chance too?
Shilu was about to cry, for fear that she would be robbed of her student spot.
However, he didn't seem to have any reason to stop others, Chu Yun had the right to choose better students.
"I don't care about talent and birth when I accept students, as long as I don't betray me in the future, I can, but I only accept one student."
Chu Yun slowly said his request, which was simply the same as nothing.
The noble female mage hurriedly stepped forward to say: "Lord Chu Yun, I will never betray you, I can swear to the magic element, please accept me as a student!" ”
Hearing Chu Yun's request, some people who were not magicians also began to join in the fun: "Lord Chu Yun, my adventurer's credit score is A, and my character is absolutely guaranteed, do you think I can do it?" ”
"Go, go, what's the use of you doing G-level tasks with a high credit score. I am a well-known honest person in the town, please Lord Chu Yun take me as an apprentice! ”
Chu Yun waved his hand, and everyone fell silent.
"Well, I'm a little thirsty."
"You two go to the oasis on the west side of the town, bring me a bottle of water each, and whoever arrives first will be accepted as a student." Chu Yun smiled and handed the two girls an empty bottle.
"As for the others, let's disperse."
The aristocratic female mage waited for Chu Yun to finish speaking, and ran towards the west without looking back.
Although Xilu was a little anxious, he still thanked Chu Yun first: "Thank you, thank you for giving me this opportunity." ”
Shiro then took the whistle out of her pocket and blew it as she ran.
Soon after, the chocobo bird that had been carrying her before galloped in.
Shilu flipped over and soon caught up with the running noble female mage.
The female mage gritted her teeth when she saw Xilu's performance, and panted and took out a magic scroll from her arms.
"Windrush!"
The speed of the female mage instantly increased a lot, and she overtook to catch up with Xilu, but the duration of the magic scroll was limited, and the game between the two was still in suspense.
Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Chu Yun couldn't help but shake his head.
He had intended to take in Shiro from the beginning, and the female mage was doomed.
The two people and one bird who were running desperately ran out of the town one after another after a competition and came to the oasis that Chu Yun said, but this oasis was destroyed by marching ants last night.
Not to mention water, not even a single grass can be seen.
"W-what can I do about this?" Nozomi showed a sad face.
The aristocratic mage looked at the empty oasis with an idea.
She picked up a few spikes from the ground and ran straight back towards the town.
"Why did you go back?" Xilu asked, puzzled.
The female mage didn't bother to pay attention to her, and disappeared in front of Xilu as soon as she slipped away.
On the way back, the female mage found water in the town and put it in a bottle, and then came to Chu Yun.
"Lord Chu Yun, I'm done." The female mage seemed to stand in front of Chu Yun for merit.
Chu Yun took the water bottle and looked at her meaningfully and asked, "Your speed is not slow, is this water taken from the oasis?" ”
"It's the thorn of a vulture cactus, and it's only found on the oasis, and I've managed to collect the water."
"Liar, she's lying, there's no water in the oasis at all."
At this time, Xilu finally ran back in disgrace, and after searching for a long time in the oasis to make sure that there was nothing, she rode on the chocobo and desperately chased after her.
The female mage didn't care about Xilu's accusations, she felt that Chu Yun had already known that there was no water over there, in order to test their ability to improvise.
Chu Yun wants to drink water, then the first thing to meet is his needs, as for the process and means, it is not so important.
Chu Yun couldn't help but feel sorry for the witty female mage, it was not good for women to be too smart sometimes, he actually liked stupid women.
"Shiro, even if there really isn't any water there, why don't you get some water from somewhere else?" Chu Yun asked with a smile.
"Ah, is that really okay? But didn't you say you wanted water from a desert oasis? ”
"Stupid, as long as the water can quench your thirst, why do you know so clearly." The female mage couldn't help but say with joy.
Everyone around agreed with the female mage's wit, and it seemed that the silly little girl was going to lose.
However, Chu Yun came to Xilu's face, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "You will be my student from now on." ”
"What! Why her? Obviously I won! The female mage rushed to Chu Yun and asked, puzzled.
Chu Yun shook his head: "Your water is full of dead energy, it is not the water in the oasis, you have not only deceived me, but you may also cause me trouble in the future." ”
"Alchemy's requirements for materials are very precise, and if you want to use shoddy opportunism, you will only harm yourself in the end."
"Shiro didn't bring what I wanted, but she did give me the true information of the Oasis."
"As I said, I only care if my students betray me. In contrast, Shelu was more honest and obedient to my commands. ”
"It's a game of loyalty, not ability, you ...... Lost. ”
After speaking, Chu Yun left with Xilu, leaving the female mage blankly in place.
From beginning to end, Chu Yun didn't even know her name.
In fact, the reason why this competition was created was only because Chu Yun felt that it was a bit boring to directly accept apprentices and had no sense of ceremony.
Life sometimes needs a little ritual to make it more interesting.
