Chapter 11 Sometimes Fishing Doesn't Need Fish
Old Lady Favreen returned to her place and prayed to the 'gods'.
Lu Xi understood that the task of visiting Lady Faflin had ended, and the daily "prayer" function should be the reward she gave Lu Xi.
Walking into this library, which was actually not too big, Lu Xi did not rush to get to know Dela, but walked around the bookshelf and took out a few of the books to read.
Against all odds...... Or it's not so unexpected, the books here turn out to be real and can be opened and viewed.
Lu Xi looked at the copy of "The Book of the Holy See" that he randomly drew out in his hand, and was slightly attracted by the content in it, because it was a very detailed description of the first Pope Lopis, who founded the Holy See.
In the few storybooks that Lu Xi saw, there was no mention of why the "gods" only gave humans four elemental contracts, earth, water, fire, and wind, while Luo Fei was able to obtain the approval of the light element.
The inside story is described in detail here, but in fact, Lofes was initially recognized by the wind elemental, and she followed the other four to save humanity.
But the wind brought her too many painful weepings, and the earth was heavy, but it could not save those dying humans; The water is turbulent, but it cannot wash away human suffering; The flames were blazing, but they could not heal the wounds on the body.
And the wind, the wind can't even stay.
So Lofes went to pray to the "gods" again, and she gave up the favor of the wind element in exchange for the mercy of the light element.
O warm light, it dispels the cold of the night; It can also dispel the darkness and haze in the hearts of human beings.
O warm light, when it shines on the human body, the human being will gain infinite courage, and even the sickness will give way, and the wound will heal.
And so the Holy See appeared, and they believed in "God" and in the light.
"Miss Lucy, do you like to read too?"
Lu Xi, who was a little fascinated by the view, raised his head when he heard the sound and found that Deella didn't know when she walked to her side, and it seemed that even the sunshine was brought by her.
"I just want to know more about the world." Lu Xi shook her head, although she occasionally read some books, but she couldn't say how much she liked it.
At least, she has more things to do than to read.
"There are a lot of books here, and you can come here and read them whenever you want." Deira smiled softly, "Words don't record the whole of this world, but you can really learn more about this world from words." β
Lu Xi looked down at Dela's eyes, which were a pair of extremely beautiful golden pupils, but her gaze didn't seem to fall on Lu Xi's body, even if she was talking to Lu Xi and looking at each other.
She seemed to be looking at the world gently, from the books, from Lu Xi's body, in this small library, she seemed to have seen the world as it was.
Lu Xi didn't have to communicate with Deella for too long, although no matter what she said, Deella would respond gently, but when she looked at Dela's appearance, she couldn't bear to disturb her.
Deella is really an overly pure character, just like the dress on her body, pure white and unstained with earthly dust, and emitting a golden glow like the sun.
[System Notification: Congratulations to players for unlocking the "Library" in the scene, where they can read, borrow, and use the books in it.] γ
After Lu Xi exited the library, a system notification popped up, as if even the system notification was unwilling to disturb Lu Xi and Deella while they were talking.
Lu Xi saw this system notification, and she didn't understand it very well, she knew what it meant to read and borrow, but what was this "use"???
Can the books in this still have their own clashing horns? Throw it out as a weapon to smash enemies? Or tie the chain as a meteor hammer?
With doubts, Lu Xi walked to the next house, which was far away from the church, and not far away was the wooden house of the hunter Anos.
Lu Xi had passed by here once before, but he didn't quite recognize what it was doing, and he could only see the huge wooden houses one after another in the courtyard.
More than a dozen wooden houses of different heights and sizes, built around the middle house, make it impossible to make out what is inside when viewed from the outside.
Lu Xi walked in from a not too wide road left by the wooden houses on both sides, and occasionally heard some collision sounds in the wooden houses, with a somewhat terrifying feeling.
When he walked to the house in the middle, Lu Xi saw the huge feed basins in front of the house, and a man dressed in a worker's suit was stirring on it.
Mayor's name appears above his head.
Lu Xi was at a loss.
Mayor found Lu Xi for the first time, but he didn't come up to say hello, but greeted him very closely.
"Good afternoon, Miss Lucy, it's been a rare day of good weather, and even my babies have an extra appetite."
Facing this young-looking man, Lu Xi paused before walking over, "What are you doing?" β
"I'm preparing dinner for my babies, they're so delicious, but they just have to eat a little more to grow stronger, don't they?" Majoll burst out laughing.
Lu Xi couldn't figure out what the "baby" in his mouth meant, so he had to watch Mayor's movements from the sidelines.
Fortunately, Mayor didn't waste time, and when Lu Xi walked over, he had already completed the final steps and picked up the large feed basin with a diameter of one meter.
Lu Xi watched as Mayor kicked open the door of a wooden house, revealing a low-level monster more than three meters tall inside, which looked like a certain species of deer, and its white fur reflected under the light in the wooden house.
It's just that the angle at which the wooden door opens is not large, just enough for Mayor to walk in and put down the feed basin, and Lu Xi can only see a little bit inside, not even enough to see the whole picture of the deer.
Lu Xi was even more confused.
As for getting closer and closer, she wasn't that reckless, though she wasn't that sane.
Mayor walked out and closed the door of the wooden house again, and Lu Xi dared to walk over and ask, "This is?" β
"Platinum Elk, one of my favorite babies." Mayor's tone was full of pride.
Lu Xi's pupils widened, and the platinum elk she had heard Dina say that it was a low-level monster that was generally raised by nobles as a means of transportation, and its personality was not too good, but its appearance was really beautiful.
Mayor actually has a platinum elk in his own home?!
No, Lu Xi suddenly came to his senses and looked at the high and low wooden houses around him, this can't be all low-level monsters raised by Mayor, right? No way......
"What is your profession?" Lu Xi's tone couldn't help but bring honorifics.
"Hahaha, I'm just a demon pet breeder." Mayor laughed and scratched his head, "By the way, Miss Lucy, do you want to raise a magic pet too, I have many kinds of magic pets here, you can buy them." β
"Whether it's walking, picking up crops, or even going to the forest to collect items, you can also help with that."
Mayor was extremely enthusiastic about recommending Landing Creek.
Lu Xi waved his hand again and again to refuse, "That's not necessary, I already have two demon pets." β
"Huh?" Mayor suddenly paused, the hearty laughter stopped, the instant silence seemed a little weird, Lu Xi unconsciously took a step back, Xiao Yuan and Mao Miao's names were already on his lips, and he was about to shout.
However, Mayor didn't do anything, he just looked puzzled, as if his reaction was a few points sluggish, and he spoke in a very slow tone, "You already have a magic pet......
"Ah, you've got a pet." Mayor's speech returned to normal, and smiles and laughter reappeared on his face, and he suddenly realized, "I see, so do you need a magic pet contract?" β
The magic pet contract is also a kind of elemental contract, but it is not the same as the common main pet contract in some works, there is no ability to live and die together, it will not bind each other's lives, and there will be no situation where the main pet is injured and replaced.
The main function of the pet contract is to allow the owner to find out which is the pet of his contract - for the nobles, they really can't tell the difference between their pets raised by servants and other people's pets, especially after a party, when a large number of pets are parked at the gate of the manor.
Another effect is to increase the spiritual connection between the two sides, so that the other party can better understand their own meaning, and some low-level monsters have not too high IQ and may not be able to understand those passwords.
Of course, there must be benefits, for example, before Lu Xi entered Kuwa Village alone, and Xiao Yuan could only wait for her outside, after signing the magic pet contract, Lu Xi and Xiao Yuan can perceive each other's location and direction, and there will be no thing that they can't find each other.
For example, at this moment, when Lu Xi perceives danger, she doesn't need to yell and scream, she just has enough sense of crisis to be perceived by the demon pet who signed the demon pet contract.
"Let's have two, then." Lu Xi didn't hesitate, in fact, she had always wanted to get one since she knew that there was such a thing as a magic pet contract.
But the problem is, this thing is ordinary, but it is not common, how can a contract that can be used on a low-level monster be an ordinary item.
Although it can be bought in the auction house, how dare Lu Xi take Mao over to sign the magic pet contract...... No, Lu Xi is not good, and it is not good to only give it to Xiaoyuan.
When raising two demon pets, you must pay attention to fairness, and you can't be too biased towards one of them, otherwise there will be trouble at that time.
"Two gold coins." Mayor smiled honestly, for a noble lady who can only earn tens of thousands of copper coins a day for the time being, this is a slightly expensive price, and it will take at least ten days to save up.
But Lu Xi is different, she chose to pay with her wealth, anyway, she has thousands of gold coins in her bag.
The magic pet contract is two parchment scrolls, and I don't know where Mayor took it from, so Lu Xi took it.
As she expected, the magic pet contract obtained in the spirit farm only required Lu Xi to select the corresponding magic pet on the pop-up panel, and click OK.
You don't need to paint those elemental circles complicatedly, you have to collect blood or something.
There was no direct binding of Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao, Lu Xi felt that he had better wait until he went back, and it was better to say it after confirming Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao's thoughts and opinions, in case they didn't want to sign the Demon Pet Contract, Lu Xi wouldn't force it.
She not only treats Xiaoyuan and Mao as pets, but also treats them as her own family.
[System Notice: Congratulations to players for unlocking the "Magic Pet" system, and you can view the attributes of the Magic Pet after binding the Magic Pet Contract. γ
After seeing the system notification, Lu Xi knew that his mission to visit Mayor was completed.
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Xi still said goodbye, "Goodbye." β
"Goodbye, Miss Lucy." Mayor smiled, no longer recognizable to the sluggish appearance he had just had.
After Lu Xi walked out a few steps, Mayor suddenly called out to Lu Xi, "By the way, Miss Lucy, do you like your magic pet?" β
"I love them." Lu Xi turned around and replied seriously.
"That's good." Mayor smiled happily as he pulled out a large feed basin and began to stir the next food for the pet.
Lu Xi watched Mayor's movements and left his home.
Lu Xi had some uneasy feelings about the change in Mayor just now, in fact, this feeling has been there since she arrived at the farm, but she forcibly suppressed it.
But what had just happened made Lu Xi unable to deceive herself anymore, and in the two months that she had not arrived at the farm, something had indeed changed that she did not know.
It was getting late, and Lu Xi had no idea of continuing to visit the other residents.
Looking back at the road she came from, Lu Xi didn't want to go back like this, her thoughts were very chaotic, and she needed to think quietly for a while.
Lu Xi walked to the other road and decided to go around the farm and go back from the other side.
The light of the setting sun was sprinkled on the bluestone road, and Lu Xi felt as if he was walking on a country road on the earth in a trance.
The surroundings were very quiet, there was no other sound, and Lu Xi enjoyed the tranquility very much.
Lu Xi passed by the small river at the edge of the farm, and a figure sitting on a horse fishing fell into her eyes, the person was very old, his hair was gray, his waist was no longer straight, but the figure looked very comfortable.
The old man didn't know whether to look at the setting sun, or the water in the distance, he was very leisurely, and that emotion easily infected Lu Xi.
Lu Xi didn't mean to come forward to say hello, just stood behind the other party, separated by a distance, quietly looking at the other party, and the name on the top of his head.
γDouligγ
Lu Xi didn't know what he was looking at or what he wanted to see.
Maybe I just want to watch the sun set down until I can't see the sun, maybe I just want to see when the empty bucket next to the old man can be loaded with the first fish.
"Young man, what are you thinking?" I don't know how long it has passed, Lu Xi suddenly heard the question, Doulig didn't look back at Lu Xi, but the voice clearly came behind him.
Lu Xi was thinking about whether the inhabitants of this farm were humans or NPCs, and what was the difference between humans and NPCs, so was she a human or an NPC in the eyes of others?
But Lu Xi didn't say any of this, she smiled and replied, "I'm wondering, when will you catch a fish." β
"Hahaha" Dollig laughed, and finally turned to look at Lu Xi, who looked like a very friendly white-haired old man, "Who said that fishing has to catch fish?" Isn't it enough to just sit here and see this beautiful view? β
Lu Xi thought about it, the Air Force is the Air Force, and it doesn't need to be so reasonable.
It's hard to come up with a name.
Is there a suitable name for me to copy?
There will probably be a dozen or so more, both men and women.
