Chapter Twenty-Four: He was not a righteous and selfless knight.
“Next, I need some medicinal herbs,” Loya changed the subject.
“Of course you can. I have a medicine-making room nearby; you can go take a look. Since we're leaving now, this medicine-making room will be abandoned. You can use whatever's inside as you like, since I probably can't take it with me.” Linman nodded directly. “Alas, it's a pity. If only I had a supernatural storage item.”
Extraordinary storage items are basically things like spatial rings.
However, the elves on this Emerald Lake Island are all very poor and don't have such good things.
“If I have enough materials, I can make storage items,” Loya said with a smile.
Linman was amazed by Loya's erudition: "This is a wonderful surprise, but unfortunately, we are not in a good position. You have such great skills, but you don't have the time to use them."
Loya nodded: "There's really no way to play with those fancy little things right now."
...
After chatting for a while, Linman found an elf girl named Ivy and brought Loya to the medicine room.
There are many medicinal herbs here.
Loya began to act.
Although he wasn't a professional pharmacist, his pharmaceutical skills were quite impressive.
His fluid and skillful movements made his tall body and short hands appear beautiful.
Not long after, a strange, golden-red potion appeared in his hand.
"Little fish, I hope you like this gift I prepared for you." Loya revealed a sinister smile.
Ivy, being just a kid, can't be of much help in a situation like this, and she doesn't have anything else to do. So she stays here too.
I was really shocked to see that Loya made the potion so quickly.
"You're amazing! Sister Linman's pharmaceutical work is nowhere near as good as yours, and it's not as fast either."
"You also add magic runes and inscriptions, and you've killed a lot of monsters."
"I really don't know what you can't do."
"Are you an all-knowing and all-powerful god?"
Ivy was a talkative child. Even though Loya's appearance was terrifying to humans, she felt no fear, but rather was filled with admiration.
Upon hearing this, Loya squatted down seriously, looked into Ivy's eyes, and said, "You can't think I'm a god just because I'm more powerful than you."
Ivy was confused: "Isn't that how God is?"
Loya: "Of course not, you're still too young and your thinking is very problematic. But when you grow up and have a more mature understanding of the world, you'll be fine."
Loya had intended to give Ivy a long and thorough explanation, but he suddenly realized that time was of the essence.
Meanwhile, the ship could set sail at any moment, so he doesn't have time to be a "teacher" here.
Ivy rolled her eyes, feeling that Loya's words were rather strange.
“Okay, go play by yourself. I’m going to do some cruel things. A child like you isn’t suitable to come along.” Loya stood up.
Ivy retorted, "Cruel? I'm not afraid at all. I'm a female warrior who has personally killed goblins. My dream is to become an elf like Chief Vina."
Loya was stunned for a moment. Only then did he realize that this was not the peaceful society of the first life, but a brutal and primitive alien world.
The children here are quite incredible.
"Well, in that case, come with me."
Loya turned and walked out of the pharmaceutical room.
Ivy strode along with Loya, her short legs moving quickly.
Soon, they arrived in the jungle.
Due to time constraints.
The monster's remains still lie here, untouched.
Some daring "beasts" have already followed the scent of blood to this place to enjoy a feast.
Fortunately, it didn't take long, and most of the monster remains were still intact.
Loya came here naturally to dissect the bodies of extraordinary creatures and select suitable materials from them.
At the same time, if he finds something suitable, he eats it raw.
Although it's impossible to accumulate a million [Extraordinary Energy Coins] in a short time, the accumulation must continue.
Two hours had passed without us realizing it.
On Loya's back now was a gray fur-skin bag, filled with a large number of strange and unusual things.
"We're about to leave this place, and we don't know what it'll be like outside. It's definitely the right thing to do to bring as much wealth as possible on hand as possible in case of need." Loya praised himself for his cleverness.
Now, it's not far from dark.
Loya returned with Ivy.
Midway through, he casually prepared a white potion and sprayed it on himself.
The inscriptions that were originally clearly visible on the surface of the body disappeared after being eroded by water.
This is hidden so that outsiders can't see it.
Otherwise, if he encounters an experienced superhuman in the future, they might recognize the special power of his inscription and use it against him.
It didn't end there. Loya made several more shamanic inscription pens and began writing and drawing on his body.
Soon, a large black cloak appeared on Loya's back.
This is the [Basic Wizard Inscription: Cloak of Concealment]
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Ivy feels that Loya's presence has diminished considerably.
If you're not careful, you might subconsciously overlook Loya.
"What an amazing power! I wish I had that ability," Ivy said enviously.
Without turning his head, Loya comforted him, "Once your elven race overcomes the crisis and gains freedom, you can freely learn all sorts of extraordinary knowledge and become powerful."
Ivy pouted, "I don't even know if I'll live to see that day."
Loya fell silent.
After a while, he said, "Let me inscribe an inscription on you to increase your chances of survival."
Ivy froze, unable to believe it: "Really?"
Loya casually scooped Ivy up. "Of course it's true. Now, be quiet and don't move."
He took out a pen and drew the [Elementary Wizard Inscription: Body of Steel] on Ivy's forehead.
Ivy was compliant, like a cat, letting Loya do whatever he wanted.
The painting was finished quickly.
Ivy was put back on the ground by Loya.
"Mr. Loya, thank you so much." Ivy rubbed her forehead and bowed deeply.
Loya didn't say anything more and turned to continue walking.
Ivy followed, looking at Loya's retreating figure with a conflicted expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.
"What do you want to say?" It was as if Loya had eyes in the back of his head.
Ivy was startled: "Huh?!"
Loya asked again, "What are you trying to say?"
Ivy realized what was happening, took a deep breath, and resolutely shouted, "Although this is excessive, I still have to say it. I would like to ask you to add inscriptions to everyone."
Without turning his head, Loya said, "Since you know it's going too far, then don't say anything more."
Engraving inscriptions was easy for him.
However, there are quite a few elves, so it's rather troublesome to manage them.
He would rather use that time to inscribe more runes on himself and strengthen himself.
The journey ahead will undoubtedly be dangerous.
He wanted to protect himself as much as possible.
Moreover, he has made considerable sacrifices these days.
He is a wizard, he is a "dragon", he is not a righteous and selfless knight.
