Bizarre Detective Agency

   Chapter 1085 Twenty-three. Flame

  The eighth day of Lu Li's return to the Land of Light.

  In the afternoon, the residents who finished their morning work gathered in the square and followed Ender and Porter to learn literacy in the warm sunshine. After writing down the basic knowledge organized by Lu Li, if you want to advance, you must learn words, at least be able to read them.

   Compared with the relatively slow Vine Cultists, the teachers who are also human are more flexible.

   But they are only temporarily serving as teachers, and when the sixth group of residents from the Wiener Refuge arrives, they will go back to the pile of seats.

   Lu Li and the residents of the square who returned to Huxin Island are doing the same thing - reading.

   Re-recorded the recipes of serial potions 6 to 10 sacrificed to the crown of knowledge and "The Sinking City", but Lu Li did not resume the study of the popular novel "Martin and the Dog".

  The Vine Church notified Lu Li not long ago that the Agate Lake camp has no jobs left to the residents, except for the farmland that needs daily care. But farmland doesn't need too many people, and they're not farmers.

  Either let the residents study all day, or let them build more shacks, or half and half, of course, do nothing at all.

   But Lu Li had already thought about the next building for the residents to build, and he had already thought about it a long time ago - the school.

The camp residents can’t always be crowded in the open space of the square. It’s not long before summer, when the sunshine and the long rainy season make it impossible for the residents to stay outdoors for a long time. The progress of the study is separated.

   Those who can only read are separated from those who learn to write; those who learn to write are separated from those who learn skills; those who learn alchemy are separated from those who learn manufacturing.

   At this time, the class will be derived, or the class divided by occupation.

   Quietly finished reading "The Sinking City", Lu Li picked up the list that recorded all the knowledge in his mind, read it again to make sure there was nothing missing, and then crossed out "Martin and the Dog".

  The sacrifice of the crown of knowledge will completely forget the name, so it is best to keep in the habit of checking the list after each use.

   After doing this, Lu Li recalled the power of the crown of knowledge.

  Unlike other cursed titles, the crown of knowledge from the corrupt sewers can also be actively used when its power is not released. Unlike the Tree Talkers who also actively use it, when the forgotten knowledge becomes power, Lu Li feels that he can freely shape it and change its shape and structure.

  Maybe this is the root of the late night city to let Lu Li get it?

   "I sense that you are confused, your lord..."

  The obscure whispers of the Swamp Mother suddenly came to mind.

   Lu Li looked out the window, the folding table was not spread on the lawn, and the mother of the swamp was not here.

   "Are you watching me?"

   "I don't intend to spy on the private, but my strength is still in your body."

  Lu Li didn't dwell on this issue for a long time, and said calmly: "I'm thinking about the power of the crown of knowledge. It's malleable, and it should be meaningful for me to get it in Late Night City, but I don't know how to use it correctly."

   "You can test it on me."

  Lu Li pondered, the swamp mother who could vaguely sense his emotions whispered: "I am a god, and the body of a mortal cannot be harmed..."

   He seems to have forgotten that his old mother was solved by Lu Li, but under normal circumstances it is indeed impossible for mortals to harm Ability God.

"I am going now."

  Lu Li left the island in the center of the lake and came to the outside of the Joseph Manor, which has now been renamed Princess Roland's Courtyard, and the wooden sign quickly completed by the residents hangs on the rusted gate of the manor.

   The maid who was waiting at the door led Lu Li into the manor. To greet the guests, he had to follow the complicated royal etiquette—fortunately, Lu Li did not need to follow it.

  Follow the maid to the barren garden overlooking the Onyx Lake, the mother of the swamp is the only beautiful thing on this soil.

   "When will you wake up the flowerbed for me."

  The Swamp Mother whispered directly, as if this was the real purpose of her invitation to Lu Li.

   "Humanity is scarce and should not be wasted for the time being."

   "I can go to Old Belfast and catch game." The Swamp Mother desperately needed her garden.

"better not."

  Lu Li didn't want to startle Old Belfast when he wasn't ready, though the weirdness that still lives there today is not the whole.

   "But you can go to the back of the mountain."

   There are monsters roaming the back of the Sugard Mountains, and tackling them can also help relieve the stress at the Onyx Lake camp.

   After the chat, Lu Li began to come to the manor for the purpose of experimenting with the power of the crown of knowledge.

   still chose to sacrifice "The Sinking City" - it is currently the most valuable memory that Lu Li can give up - because it describes Lu Li's own story and is related to memory.

   And after the sacrifice, the old insights will not be erased, and new insights may emerge from reading again.

   This can help Lu Li understand the intention of the late night city.

  The power of knowledge is controlled by consciousness, condensing his right hand like a mist, and wrapping it around with the white palm that Lu Li held towards the Swamp Mother.

   Like a spark that blows embers to light, the power of knowledge is fleeting.

   Like a child who is out of control, he raised a wooden sword against the giant warship in the dock.

  It is too weak, the mother of the swamp can't feel the existence of the characteristic from this weak, knuckle-knock-like power, He can only guess: "Perhaps after the release of this cursed title, the late night city wants you to have it."

   It's just that releasing a title requires extreme emotions or a desperate situation. At present, Lu Li can't do any of them, and he has too many titles - no one knows which title will be released, just like the Tree Whisperer released in place of the dreamer.

   He can only put the crown of knowledge on hold for now.

   "Even with a cursed title...you are human after all. If that monster with distorted perception was not under my protection, your consciousness would be lost in an instant, just like those bones..."

  The Swamp Mother whispered at this time.

   With a weak body and a weak soul, he has never been optimistic about the power of human beings, and he is also one of the few existences who regard Lu Li as a lord rather than an exorcist.

"I know."

  Claire's Musket Theory.

   Or to be more specific, the gun and dagger theory.

   Weird has armor, muskets, cannons, and even a castle. Lu Li only has a dagger and temporary armor given by the Swamp Mother. And he can't wear this armor all the time.

  Compared to digging out the power of the cursed title, the growth of human nature seems to be more obvious: the more human nature, the stronger Lu Li's resistance to pollution, and the stronger his left hand inlaid with redemption fragments.

  Although the side effects are equally terrifying - Lu Li will be more and more coveted by the weird.

  This world is like a barren and empty dark world, and every existence is burning with a flame called humanity. When the flame is extinguished, it will disappear in the cold and dead darkness. Everything will come to an end, and the flame will eventually go out. In order to survive, beings must plunder each other's humanity and strengthen their own flames. The stronger the flame, the clearer it is in this dark world.

   Mighty flames are able to protect themselves, except humans.
