Chapter 98: Jingjing, a top student, tall and handsome
Kumandi trained in the forest for a week and flew four or five hours back to the sacred tree, exhausted. But when the white light fell, his body instantly became warm, his fatigue was swept away, and he felt refreshed and clear-headed.
This is an advanced purification technique.
Only high-level magicians can do this.
Kumandi looked at the confidence in the eyes of the blond elf and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Shu Li put down her magic wand, jumped in front of him, and said happily, "Kumandi, I'm a high-level magician now!"
"Congratulations." Seeing that he looked like he was asking for praise, Kumandi reached out and touched his head.
Shu Li laughed "hehe", his tender green eyes sparkling with joy as he looked up at the black-haired elf who was a head taller than him.
Twenty-year-old Kumandi had grown two inches taller and was no different from an adult goblin.
His long, dark hair was tied back in a low ponytail, and he wore a golden headband with a shimmering purple gem in the center, which complemented his deep purple eyes beautifully. The baby fat that had marked his youth had vanished, replaced by a sharp, handsome face. Despite having just returned from training, his clothes were still immaculate, even his cape and shoes were spotless.
Jingjing, the top student, is getting more and more handsome!
Shu Li's heart was filled with admiration and envy, and he hoped that when he turned twenty, he could be as tall and handsome as him.
"Hey, little Sperian, give me a purification spell too!" Carolla, who had caught up with him, came forward and asked with a smile.
"Okay!" Shu Li raised his magic wand generously and cast a silent purification spell at him.
Carola was suddenly enveloped by a soft white light, with a look of surprise on his face. When the white light disappeared, he stretched his arms and stretched.
"Wow, that's awesome! I'm back to full strength now." He lowered his arms and stared at Shu Li with his bright gray-brown eyes.
Shu Li felt uneasy when he looked at her, and took a step back. "What...what are you looking at?"
"Pah—" Carolla clasped her hands together. "Little Sperian, we're late. We didn't hear the previous part. Could you please fill us in on the rest?"
"Yes, yes, we only listened to the second half." The other fairies nodded in agreement.
If they had known there would be such an important symposium this afternoon, they would not have lingered in the forest and would have returned to the sacred tree an hour earlier.
It's a pity that I missed the wonderful part.
Shu Li turned to look at the silent Kumandi, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.
“We want to listen too!”
The goblins gathered around.
Sperian's adventure story is so exciting that it is not enough to listen to it once. You need to listen to it several times to enjoy it.
Shu Li sat down on the spot, spoke as fast as he could, omitted some minor details, extracted the essence, and narrated the story again from beginning to end.
The little fairies listened with great interest, and the young fairies such as Karola were amazed. Kumandi took out a notebook at some point, and with his slender fingers holding a white feather pen, he began to write down the words.
Shu Li was talking until his mouth was dry. His excellent eyesight swept across Jingjing's notebook full of words, and his heart skipped a beat.
That’s it, tomorrow there will be a bunch of poems about him popping up!
Jingjing is a great student who writes poems very quickly. She can write ten poems in one night!
Dissio listened to it again, still confused as to how Sperian had gotten the upgrade. He rested his chin on his hand and muttered to himself, "Why, why, why?"
Kumandi twitched his ears, closed the notebook, and explained: "Sperien was recognized by the Wood Elves and gained power."
"Huh?" Dizio's red eyes widened. "So simple?"
Shu Li spread his hands innocently: "Yes, it's that simple."
There is really no secret. It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse and hitting the jackpot by accident.
Dizio asked enviously, "Then...if I also gain the recognition of the Wood Spirit, can I also level up?"
Shu Li was stunned by the question and shook his head: "I don't know."
Budno poured cold water on him: "But Desio, you are a fire magician!"
Wood is afraid of fire, and the two are in conflict. It would be strange if the wood spirit would recognize him.
Disio was depressed by what he said. He wanted to refute but couldn't find any words to say, so he could only squat aside and sulk.
Angel covered his mouth and laughed. Discio glared at him. He rolled his amber eyes and patted Discio's shoulder.
"Brother, don't be discouraged. Isn't there still the Fire Spirit?"
Disio's eyes lit up.
That's right! If the Wood Spirit doesn't work, then find the Fire Spirit! As long as he gets the Fire Spirit's approval, he can also increase his level instantly like Sperian.
Shu Li met his starry eyes that were full of hope, and considered whether to tell him that she had searched many ancient books before finding a clue about the Fire Spirit.
With their current age and level, it is impossible for them to leave the Fairy Forest and head to the distant Izerafar Empire.
By the time they reach the conditions to leave the forest and go to the mainland for training, they will probably have been promoted to the level of great wizards.
"Elemental spirits are difficult to summon," the learned Kumandi ruthlessly explained. "After the War of the Gods, the elemental spirits disappeared for ten thousand years. Finding them is not easy."
Just as Discio was cheering up, he was hit again when he heard his words. He became dejected like a deflated ball.
Kumandi said solemnly, "We are gifted and powerful, blessed by the God of Light, but we shouldn't let this lead us to become complacent or overly ambitious. What you need to do most now is to lay a solid foundation and improve your magical proficiency. Every fairy has their own destiny, so don't rush things."
Disio listened attentively, then gradually straightened his head, clenched his fists, and said seriously, "I will improve my level through my own efforts!"
"Me too!" Budno raised his hand unwillingly.
"Us too!" the other goblins shouted in unison.
Shu Li looked at the determined little faces and raised her hand. "I took a shortcut, but I won't be lazy anymore."
His current strength does not match his level, and he must learn more magical skills to display his true level.
After a symposium, all afternoon classes were cancelled and the little elves went out to play happily.
There were still two hours before dinner, and Shu Li planned to go to the task hall in the commercial district to hand in the task first. The other little fairies said they would go together to hand in the task.
They were the first group of goblins to accept the mission.
Five years ago, Shu Li and his three good brothers followed an adult goblin to do a mission. After experiencing some twists and turns, they gained a lot. Other goblin cubs were inspired and followed suit.
For a while, all the collection tasks in the mission hall were contracted by the little cubs.
The adult fairies were happy to see this happen, and were happy to take the cubs to the forest to experience life in the wild. They would also hug them and give them a hug whenever they were frightened, and they were very happy.
During that time, in order to snatch the cubs into their team, the adult goblins overturned many friendship boats.
Now, as the goblin cubs grow up, they can take on some simple tasks independently.
Kumandi and his classmates also have to hand in their tasks.
It's a rare opportunity to go out into the forest for training, so we can't waste it. We can also make money by completing tasks.
So, a group of fairy students flew to the mission hall in the commercial district.
The adult fairies entering and leaving the mission hall greeted them enthusiastically when they saw them. Some of them were so playful that they recruited teammates on the spot and invited the little fairies to do the mission together.
If you are interested, go over and negotiate immediately.
Shu Li came to the task handing-in window and took out a large cloth bag from the storage ring, which was filled with fresh Thunder Flame Grass.
The adult goblin who collected the quest items saw the heavy bag and exclaimed in surprise, "We've exceeded our quota this time!"
Such a big cloth bag can hold at least two hundred Thunder Flame Grasses.
Shu Li grinned, "Thank you!"
The advantage of becoming bigger is that it makes things easier.
No wonder the first generation of fairies prayed hard to the God of Light to give them the ability to grow bigger.
After completing the task, Shu Li received more than 300 gold coins. He happily accepted them and then looked for new collection tasks on the task list.
"Sperian, should we take this mission together?" Angel asked, pointing to the twentieth-ranked mission.
"Go to Lake Pogaman to collect underwater minerals?" Shu Li read out the name of the mission.
Lake Bogaman is the largest lake in the Fairy Forest. It is rich in resources and has a variety of underwater minerals. However, the water level makes it difficult to collect.
This is not a problem for the little goblins.
Because they have the water-repellent magic beads given by the Mermaid King!
"Accept it! Must accept it!" Shu Li's eyes sparkled when he saw that the reward was ten pieces of ore for one thousand gold coins, and he said decisively.
The adult fairy who issued the task said to him with a smile: "This task has a limit on the number of people!"
"How many people are limited?" Shu Li asked.
The adult goblin raised his hand: "Five."
Shu Li turned around to look at the other little fairies: "Who wants to go with us?"
The little goblins looked at each other and left one after another.
Shuli, Disio, Angel, and Budno are basically bound together and often go on missions together. The other fairies are very tactful and give way, leaving the last position to be filled by Lois.
After Kumandi handed over the task, he looked at the little elves who were gathered together and chattering.
Shu Li seemed to sense something, looked up, met his gaze, and walked over. "Kumandi, we've accepted a mission to collect ore at Lake Pogaman. Is there anything we should be aware of?"
Kumandi quickly scanned the instructions on the quest board and said to him, "The quest ore is distributed in shallow waters, making it relatively easy to collect. Don't go into deep waters; there are many high-level monsters hiding at the bottom of the lake."
The monsters at the bottom of the lake are not as good-tempered as those on land. When they get angry, they won’t even give the fairies face.
"Okay." Shu Li nodded obediently.
"There is a kind of white mushroom near the lake. It is very thick, delicious and nutritious. You can collect some and eat it." Kumandi took out a sample from the storage bag and handed it to Shu Li.
Shu Li took it, looked at it left and right, and indicated that he had remembered it.
Fungi are on the goblin's menu, and if they come across something delicious, they will certainly not miss it.
However, most fungi are poisonous, so if you go to the wild without the guidance of an adult fairy, you dare not pick them randomly.
After receiving the mission, the goblins left the mission hall one after another and went to the commercial street to act separately.
Shu Li went to the herbal medicine shop.
The dark elf Efit gave him a list of twenty kinds of herbs. It was impossible for him to look for each one in the forest, so of course he would go to the herbal shop to purchase some first, and then go to the forest to collect the remaining ones that he could not buy.
Luckily, he bought a total of fifteen kinds of herbs, and picked the remaining five while completing his mission.
After finishing their work, it was almost dinner time, and the little goblins hurried to the school cafeteria.
After a full meal, Shu Li slowly flew back to his home.
The house has been unoccupied for half a month and is covered in dust.
He took out his magic wand calmly and used wind magic to skillfully clean the dust. After a while, the whole house was clean and the air was fresh.
Shu Li took out the bedding from the cabinet, spread it flat on the bed, and then put fluffy pillows and a soft quilt on it.
The newly made bed looks very attractive, but it’s too early to go to bed yet, so I can’t lie down on it for the time being.
Shu Li regretfully went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into loose pajamas, sat at the table, and studied by the magic stone lamp.
I missed half a month of classes and couldn’t make up for it in one lunch.
Patting his cheeks, he forced himself to focus and learn the crude Dwarven language.
Yes, vulgar.
Compared with the elegant Elvish language, the Dwarven language is very straightforward, without even any honorifics, and mixed with some less civilized words. They are simply two extremes.
Maybe it has something to do with their racial character.
Dwarves have bad tempers and will make loud noises when they are unhappy. They feel more relieved by using swear words, which makes them appear vulgar.
After learning four or five languages in the past ten years, Shu Li found that Elvish was the most difficult to learn.
It turns out that he traveled to another world and first learned a hell-level language. No wonder it was so hard for him to learn.
Shu Li sighed and copied the notes carefully.
Three hours later, he finished studying, took out his notebook and wrote in his diary, recording in detail what happened that day.
After finishing writing, he tidied up, threw himself into the soft bed, rolled around comfortably, sat cross-legged, and entered a meditative state.
I was so busy in the Elf Kingdom that I didn’t have time to think about what my family looked like.
In order to prevent himself from forgetting his family, he has been meditating for ten years, treating his memories as a "movie", watching them over and over again countless times.
Every time I look back, I discover some small details that I had overlooked in the past.
For example, when he was five or six years old, his mother bought him a small cake. He went to the bathroom and came back to find that a corner of the cake was missing. He asked his three brothers who were present in confusion who had stolen his cake.
The three brothers shook their heads seriously and denied everything.
He couldn't catch the thief and could only give up with tears.
Now, when he entered a meditative state and recalled the details of that time, he found that there was a little cream on the corner of his third brother's mouth, which was really not noticeable without careful observation.
Humph, case solved! The thief is Brother San!
When he goes back, I will definitely settle the score with him for deceiving him, an innocent man, for so many years.
After the meditation, Shu Li reluctantly left the "cinema room", regained consciousness, opened his eyes, relaxed his body, lay down flat, covered himself with the quilt, and yawned.
Good night, Mom and Dad.
Good night, eldest brother, second brother, and third brother.
Tomorrow, we will welcome the fairy cubs coming out of the nursery!
Shu Li is very much looking forward to it.
I wonder if those eight little guys had the same claustrophobia as I did back then, seeing thousands of goblins gathered at the door of the gestation room.
By the way, he seemed to have forgotten to mention at the symposium that the mother tree had a new fruit and the elves would soon have elf cubs.
Mainly to conceal the part about purifying the mother tree, he subconsciously skipped it.
Shu Li turned over, rubbed the quilt, and closed his eyes.
Forget it, let’s go to bed first. It’s not too late to talk about it tomorrow.
