22. Master your own power
The eighth day after Lu Li returned to the Land of Light.
In the afternoon, residents who had finished their morning's work gathered in the square to learn literacy with Ender and Porter under the warm sunshine. After memorizing the basic knowledge compiled by Lu Li, if you want to advance, you must learn characters, at least be able to read them.
Compared to the relatively slow vine cultists, the teachers who are also human are more flexible.
However, they only serve as teachers temporarily. When the sixth batch of residents from the Weiner Refuge Area arrives, they will sit back in those seats.
Lu Li, who returned to the island in the center of the lake, was doing the same thing as the residents of the square, reading.
Lu Li re-recorded the serial potion recipes No. 6 to 10 dedicated to the Crown of Knowledge and "The Sinking City". Lu Li did not re-learn the popular novel "Martin and the Dog".
The Vine Church not long ago informed Lu Li that there are no jobs for the residents in the Agate Lake camp, except for farmland that requires daily care. But farmland does not require many people, and they are not farmers.
Either let the residents study all day long, or let them build more shacks, or half and half, or of course do nothing.
However, Lu Li had already thought about the buildings that the residents would build next, and he had already thought about the school a long time ago.
Camp residents cannot always crowd in the open space in a chaotic manner. Summer is not long away. The sunshine and long rainy season at that time will prevent the residents from staying outdoors for a long time. Moreover, after the arrival of the sixth batch of residents, they must be based on each resident.
The progress of learning 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, classes will be derived, or classes divided by occupation.
After quietly reading "The Sinking City", Lu Li picked up the list that recorded all the knowledge in his mind, read it again to make sure nothing was 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 originating from the foul sewers can be used actively when its power is not released. Unlike the tree whisperer, which is also actively used, when the forgotten knowledge becomes power, Lu Li feels that he can freely shape it and change it.
Its shape and structure.
Maybe this is the reason why Midnight City wants Lu Li to get its hands on it?
"I noticed that you are confused, Lord..."
The obscure whisper of the Swamp Mother suddenly came to mind.
Lu Li looked out the window. The folding table was not spread on the lawn. The mother of the swamp was not here.
"Are you watching me?"
"I don't intend to pry into privacy, but my power is still in your body."
Lu Li did not dwell on this issue for too long, and said calmly: "I am thinking about the power of the crown of knowledge. It is malleable, and it should have its meaning for me to get it from Midnight City, but I don't know how to use it correctly."
"You can test it on me."
Lu Li thought about it, and the Swamp Mother, who could vaguely sense his emotions, whispered: "I am a spirit, and mortal bodies 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 a mortal to harm a supernatural god.
"I'll go over now."
Lu Li left the island in the middle of the lake and came to the outside of Joseph's Manor. This place has now been renamed Princess Roland's Villa. The wooden sign quickly completed by the residents was hung on the rusty gate of the manor.
The maid waiting at the door ushered Lu Li into the manor. She had to follow the complicated royal etiquette when welcoming guests. Fortunately, Lu Li didn't have to follow it.
Follow the maid to the barren garden overlooking the Agate Lake. The Mother of Swamps is the only beautiful thing on this soil.
"When will you wake up the flower garden for me?"
The Mother of the Swamp simply whispered, as if this was her true purpose of inviting Lu Li.
"Humanity is scarce and should not be wasted for the time being."
"I can go to old Belfast and catch game." The Marsh Mother desperately needs her flowerbeds.
"Better not."
Lu Li didn't want to disturb old Belfast when he was ill-prepared, even though the weirdness that still existed there was not the whole.
"But you can go to the back of the mountain."
There are weirdos wandering around the back of Sugard Mountain, and solving them can also help relieve the pressure at the Agate Lake camp.
After finishing the chat, Lu Li came to the manor for the purpose of testing the power of the Crown of Knowledge.
I still choose to sacrifice "The Sinking City". It is the most valuable memory among the memories that Lu Li can discard at present, because it describes Lu Li's own story and is related to memory.
Moreover, old insights will not be erased after the sacrifice, and new insights may emerge after reading it again.
This can help Lu Li understand the purpose of Midnight City.
The power of knowledge is controlled by consciousness, condensing into his right hand like mist, and wrapping around Lu Li's white palm stretched out towards the Mother of the Swamp.
Like a spark that lights up an ember when blown, the power of knowledge is fleeting.
Like an overestimated child, he raised his wooden sword against the giant battleship in the dock.
It was too weak, and the Mother of the Swamp could not feel the existence of characteristics from this weak, knuckle-tapping force. She could only guess: "Maybe the Midnight City wants you to have this cursed title after it is released."
It's just that releasing a title requires extreme emotions or being on the verge of desperation. Lu Li can't do any of them currently, and he has too many titles. No one knows which title he will release, just like the tree whisperer released on behalf of the dreamer.
He could only put aside the crown of knowledge temporarily.
"Even if you have a cursed title... you are still a human being. If that monster with distorted perception were not protected by me, your consciousness would be lost in an instant, just like those bones..."
The Swamp Mother whispers now.
With a weak body and fragile soul, he never looked down upon the power of humans, and was one of the few who regarded Lu Li as a lord rather than an exorcist.
"I know."
Clare's Musket Theory.
Or to describe it more specifically, it is the gun and dagger theory.
Weird possesses armor, muskets, cannons, and even castles. Lu Li only has a dagger and temporary armor given by Swamp Mother. And he cannot wear this armor all the time.
Compared with tapping into the power of the cursed title, the growth of humanity seems more obvious: the more humanity there is, the stronger Lu Li's resistance to pollution becomes, and the stronger his left hand with the fragments of redemption becomes.
Although the side effects are equally horrific, Lu Li will become more and more coveted by the weird.
This world is like a dark world of barren nothingness. Every existence is burning with the flame called humanity. When the flame is extinguished, it will disappear into the cold and dead darkness. Everything will eventually end, and the flame will eventually extinguish. If you want to survive,
, beings must plunder each other’s humanity and strengthen their own flames. The stronger the flame, the clearer the world of darkness becomes.
