Chapter 3 003: Special Reasons
One week later.
Luo Xi stood on the bow with his back against the railing and looked at the sea in front of him. He saw several dolphins constantly jumping out of the blue water, as if they were guiding the sailboat.
There is also a circle of colorful fish swimming around, and the splashes of water scattered bursts of dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.
Before he knew it, Luo Xi was mesmerized.
"Complete an effort to appreciate the fish school, generate a critical hit, time point +1 day."
Luo Xi opened the system panel and took a look.
Time point: 13 days.
If I stock up for another day, it will be enough for two weeks. If I spend it all at night, I should be able to upgrade Rune Language to the "Mastery" level, right? Rune Language and some knowledge subjects are divided into levels, namely entry, mastery, proficiency, proficiency, and perfection.
This week, Luo Xi spent all the time he had saved up on learning Rune Language, and his Rune Language had improved significantly in the past few days.
I have completely memorized the vocabulary in the Rune Language Encyclopedia Nicole gave me, and I have no problem with some basic spellings.
Luo Xi had a vague feeling that he was only one step away from mastering the level. Nicole said that once he mastered the rune language, his understanding would be greatly improved. He really wanted to know if this was true.
"Wow!"
At this moment, a playful voice sounded, and Nicole touched Luo Xi's back and patted his shoulder mischievously.
Luo Xi turned around: "You scared me."
Nicole laughed as sweet as a silver bell: "Hahaha."
While she was happy, she also asked in doubt: "What on earth could have attracted the full attention of our great genius? He didn't even notice the sneak attack that was creeping behind him."
Luo Xi said: "I'm thinking about the rune language."
Nicole's smile froze, and she frowned and said, "Hey, do you have to do this? This will put a lot of pressure on people, okay?"
Luo Xi's rapid progress in rune language dealt her a big blow.
After all, it took her several days to get started, and then she studied hard for several months before she barely mastered it. Even so, her instructor still called her a gifted person.
She was always complacent about this until she met Luo Xi.
Nicole couldn't understand why the gap between people was so huge. She had just come into contact with the Rune Language a few days ago, but in just a few days she had reached a level almost the same as hers.
You know, Ryan and the others who started learning with him haven't even gotten started yet.
Luo Xi thought seriously and said, "Is that so?"
"Then it seems I should consider going to the alchemy workshop to see if I can make a pressure valve or something for you to install."
Nicole doubled over with laughter.
"Luo Xi, I really should have met you earlier and asked you to come to the castle to be my follower. This way my life wouldn't be boring. I might not even come to the wizarding world."
Luo Xi was surprised and asked, "You came to the wizard world just to kill time?"
Nicole restrained her smile a little: "Not entirely."
"A wizard can bring great rewards to the family. I don't want to get married so early. I am also interested in magic like everyone else, so I came here."
The historical background of human society here is similar to the Western Middle Ages on Earth. People are considered adults at the age of 14. Boys have to start working and girls have to prepare to get married. This is true for both commoners and nobles.
After a pause, she asked, "What about you? Do you have any special reason for coming to the wizarding world?"
This question actually doesn't mean much to Luo Xi. After all, he is not a noble like Nicole, he is just a commoner.
Life in this era was extremely difficult for common people, who basically had to work themselves to death. For them, becoming a wizard was like changing their fate and being reborn.
However, Luo Xi thought about it seriously and said, "If there are special reasons."
"Probably just wanting to heal my brother's leg."
The original owner of this body came from a civilian family in Beifeng City of Rudin Kingdom. His father was a shoemaker in the city and his mother was a tailor. Besides him, there was a younger brother in the family who was only 3 years old.
Once, his parents went out and left him alone at home to take care of his younger brother, but he ran away because he wanted to play.
Unfortunately, while he was away, his younger brother caught a cold and developed a high fever, and was not discovered until his parents returned later.
By the time a doctor was found, it was too late. Although he survived, he was left with a chronic illness. His limbs became uncoordinated and he could no longer walk.
The 3-year-old child didn’t understand anything, he only knew that his brother was still his good brother. Every time he saw him, he would limp towards him with a smile and call him brother affectionately.
However, the more this happened, the more painful his heart felt, and he was tormented by regret and self-blame.
So when his wizard physique was accidentally identified, the other children first cheered and celebrated for their changed fate, but he was the first to silently hug his brother and cry with joy.
"You must, you must heal your brother's leg."
This idea was deeply rooted in Luo Xi's mind and he could not go against it at all.
Nicole asked doubtfully, "Treat your brother?"
Luo Xi nodded, and then told Nicole the whole story.
"Complete a hard repentance, generate a critical hit, time +5 days."
The system's notification sound suddenly rang in my ears, and it increased by 5 days at once. I don't know how this was determined. Is it related to emotional fluctuations? Nicole sighed: "What an unfortunate experience."
After a pause, she sighed and said, "But your brother is also very lucky to have a brother like you who cares about him in every way, unlike my brothers who only think about how to sell me for a good price."
She raised her head and said, "Let the misfortunes of the past go with the wind. You will have a brand new start in the wizarding world. With your talent, there will be no problem with your brother's legs."
"Eh? What happened to those dolphins?"
"Look, at the bottom of the sea! There seems to be something on the bottom of the sea!"
"What is that?"
"Come over here! Come over here!"
At this moment, there were suddenly some noises on the deck.
However, the dolphins and fish that were swimming freely in front of them suddenly fled in all directions. An extremely huge black shadow appeared under the sea and rushed towards Luo Xi and his ship at an extremely fast speed.
Luo Xi's face changed, and he quickly grabbed Nicole and ran towards the cabin.
But before he could run a few steps, suddenly——
“Crash!”
Suddenly, a wave of more than ten meters high rolled up on the sea surface, and along with the wave, a huge creature rushed out of the sea.
It was a whale, a huge whale with a body length of over 100 meters, which overturned Luo Xi's cognition.
It jumped out of the sea more than ten meters high, like a mountain, pressing down on Luo Xi and his ship.
