The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 29, Death in Plan.

Charmian Ferget Saint Hermanubis
This was the new name given to Shamian by the Tinal people after he completed all his transformations and returned to the gathering place of the Tinal people.

It is composed of Chamian's own name, her husband's surname, the holy title and the inherited name Hermanubis.

Originally, there was no need to inherit the name of Hermanubis, but after Shamian's mother persuaded Shamian's father and proposed it, all the elders of the Tinal people agreed.

After all, such a tall priest had not been born among the Tinale people for a long time. Although Shamian had not reached the height of Hermanubis, she was already the tallest besides Hermanubis. What's more, she personally admitted that she inherited the power of Hermanubis.

In the end, Shamian's full name became Shamian Fugate Saint Hermanubis.

It means that it is Charmian of the Fuget family who inherited the power of Hermanubis.

Much better than the name Nathan Rice H. Fugate.

The meaning of Fugate's name is nothingness, happiness and oblivion.

However, every advantage has its disadvantages. The Temple of Silence, which claims to be the orthodox Hermanubis, is not happy at this time.

They wanted to bring Shamian Fuget Saint Hermanubis, a powerful being who inherited the power of Hermanubis, under their control.

The Tinal people were naturally unwilling to do so, and the conflict between the two sides naturally intensified.

Xia Mian was also annoyed and hid in the Six-Layer Manor, or accompanied Fugate to develop the tribe of gravekeepers.

Fugate was also happy about this. Although his mausoleum had been built, the interior decoration, various mechanisms and ritual arrangements had not yet been completed.

Just busy with Xia Mian.

Fortunately, all this didn't take long, and Fugate managed to complete all the layout and decoration before his 49th birthday.

"At thirty, one is established; at forty, one is free from doubts; at fifty, one knows the will of heaven. In the blink of an eye, I am about to reach this age." Fugate said with emotion.

And Fuget felt that this sentence was absolutely correct. The older Fuget got, the stronger his psychic power and the stronger his predictive ability became.

"You don't look old at all," said Xiamian.

"I know whether I am old or not. My blood and energy are now stagnant, and the breathing method has almost no effect on me. In addition, premature aging of the brain is inevitable. The sequelae of using myself to test drugs in the early years have already become apparent." said Fugate.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xiamian touched Fuget's head.

The consequences of the bad things he did in the early years have begun to show. Fugate now has some signs of Alzheimer's disease, which is mainly due to the NZT-48 and various imperfect intelligence development drugs he drank in his early years.

But Fugate has no regrets because he knows it's all worth it.

Without these medicines, I would have fallen into a state of self-destruction and died somewhere unknown.

The situation of apprentices like Xia Mian has improved a lot. When they first took the intelligence development potion, the side effects were much better than when Fugate took it.

"Why haven't you grown up yet? But it's not that I can't continue to become stronger. I still have psychic power. Only psychic power will continue to grow stronger with my experiences." Fugate said with emotion. There is no limit to the growth of psychic power. It is still increasing vigorously every day.

Now Fuget basically stores his memories in his psychic energy, so the feeling of Alzheimer's is not obvious. In addition, Fuget in the self-destruction state is not affected by the debuff of Alzheimer's disease, which is quite magical.

But considering that the self-destruction state was caused by the supernatural entity Ix, this is not surprising.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do after you finish this?" asked Xia Mian.

"I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet," said Fugate, "but I'm probably going to go to other countries and enjoy the scenery before I get too old and can't move. This life is too tiring."

I studied hard when I was young and continued to study until I graduated from college, but after graduating from college, I was still treated like a slave.

Just after his 30th birthday, he was snatched away by the system due to death, and then he had the misfortune to meet the Void Star God Ix.

If the system wasn't so powerful and I wasn't lucky enough, I would have been gone long ago.

Then came nineteen years of hard study and self-improvement.

Most of the day is spent improving myself, with little time to rest.

Now I have some symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, and I guess I can't do any research anymore, so it's time to enjoy myself.

"Then I'll accompany you." Xia Mian said.

"Don't you want to give up your studies?" In recent years, Xia Mian has produced few academic achievements, but the quality is quite high.

So I was nominated to become an official Dhāsata both last year and this year.

But last year, because someone else (Fuget) was involved in the project, I didn’t pass.

“That kind of thing is not important.” Xiamian said, and then Xiamian explained that Xiamian’s own life span was already very long, so even if he just accumulated experience, he could easily become a Hebanda, and it was not impossible to become a sage or even a great sage.

After all, Xia Mian has not only undergone brain development, but also biological enhancement, which allows her to perform multi-threaded thinking. She is already a genius and has become even more outstanding. It can even be said that she is stronger than six people.

This means that she can be more calm in combat, faster in scientific research, and can advance multiple projects at once.

"That's true." Fuget scratched his head and said, "I really don't have enough brains right now."

"So where do you want to go?" asked Xia Mian.

"First of all, of course, we're going to appreciate the desert, go to the Samode Oasis, and go to Mount Dama to enjoy the endless sandstorms," ​​said Fuget with a smile, "and then go to the rain forest, Erjingdian, Weimozhuang and Wuyuchou Forest. I only passed by those fantastic scenery in a hurry before." Fuget said.

"Then go to Liyue Harbor. It is said that Liyue Harbor is a place very similar to my hometown."

“Then I traveled around the world, wherever my heart pleased.”

"Before I turn sixty-six, I will write a travelogue of the four countries, and it will be buried in my mausoleum."

"Meow~" The cat Dahei called out, as if he didn't want the two bipeds to ignore him.

"Okay, I'll bring Dahei with me then." Xia Mian said with a smile while rubbing the cat's head.

Then Fugate applied to the Council of Ordinances, and after it was approved, he left with a large amount of research funds. As a Hepatitis, he did have such privileges.

Nominally he was going to investigate the alchemical materials and culture of the four countries, but in reality he was just going to travel to several neighboring countries, with a total of four countries planned to be visited.

It’s not that Fugate didn’t want to visit all the countries, but after his prediction, he found that if he visited four countries, his remaining time would have been almost spent.

Not even enough to warrant a trip to a fifth country.

After careful consideration, Fugate decided to go to Liyue, Mondstadt, Fontaine, and Xumi itself, which were exactly four countries.

Before leaving, Fuget apologized to Brother Muyefan who rushed towards the sage, and entrusted his voting rights to Muyefan.

Of course, Fget had to tell Brother Muyefan that he had some Alzheimer's disease, otherwise he would not let him go.

In the past two years, Fugate has traveled through the desert and rainforest. When he stepped into Liyue Harbor, it was his 52nd birthday. After another four years, he walked all over Liyue like an ordinary person.

During this period, he also held several alchemy lectures in Liyue and earned some travel expenses.

At the age of fifty-seven, he entered Mond through the Stone Gate. With the warm hospitality of his student Hetala, he spent three years touring the entire Mond.

When he was sixty years old, he passed through Liyue and went to Fontaine. The technology in Fontaine was already relatively advanced at that time, and various craftsmen emerged in an endless stream.

At the age of sixty-three, Fuget's body functions had begun to age significantly, but Xiamian was still young. The two no longer looked like a couple, but rather like father and daughter. Fuget began to prepare to return to Xumi.

At the age of 64, he returned to Xumi, submitted his research results "A Complete Theory of Alchemy in Four Countries" and began to write "Travels in Four Countries". Xia Mian also submitted his research results "A Study on the Theory of Alchemy in Four Countries".

At the age of sixty-five, Fuget's body has aged beyond recognition, and his level has even regressed to only LV87. However, Fuget's psychic power is still active and powerful, and is even continuing to increase.

He can use his psychic powers to easily cause natural disasters, but his physical aging has seriously affected the use of his psychic powers.

Xiamian is still young and has never left Fuget, but the two even look like grandfather and grandson. This year, the two came to the tribe of gravekeepers. Although they have not seen the gravekeepers for a long time and the leader of the gravekeepers has even changed, the gravekeepers still respect them.

After all, the two were as strong as gods, especially Fuget, whose psychic power could easily affect the celestial phenomena. Fuget took out the substitute he had prepared long ago, placed it in the coffin, and then pulled out his sword, the Slayer. The growth of the Slayer was limited by Fuget himself. He had not used a knife for many years, so the Slayer had not grown for a long time, and its level remained at LV85.

He inserted his knife in front of the substitute's coffin and activated all the energy mechanisms. If anyone broke into the mausoleum, the mechanisms would teach them a lesson.

At the age of sixty-six, on Fuget's birthday, he took off his Eye of the Water Elemental God and lay down early in the prepared mausoleum. There were a large number of ritual runes carved on the floor and ceiling.

It was June 6th. At 6:06 in the morning, Fugate spent six seconds to say to Shamian with difficulty, "Goodbye, Shamian."

At 6:06:06 on June 6, Fugate's body completely lost its vitality.

A huge amount of spiritual energy surged into the sky until it sank into the eye of the water element god at the top layer.

Xia Mian carried the cat Dahei to the top floor and looked at the dim Eye of the Water Element God, then said, "Good night, dear."

She knew that Fuget was not dead, and that powerful spiritual energy was still entangled in the Eye of God, which meant that Fuget's ritual would be successful.

All that was left was to wait, wait for the six hundred and sixty years that Fugate had mentioned.

······
Two years after Fuget's death, Baanka, who came to Mond on a business trip, told Hetala about the incident.

"The mentor passed away?" Hetala, who was still beautiful at the age of fifty, looked at the letter in front of her and the fat Baanka in front of her with a little disbelief.

Baanka stroked his beard and said, "Yes, he has been dead for almost two years. It was Xia Mian who told me about this. You know, I am usually very busy with business. As for the cause of death, it is said to be aging."

"Why do I feel like Old Deng is lying to us, and my psychic power tells me that Old Deng is alive and well." said Hetala.

"I feel the same way." Baanka complained, stroking his beard.

"Wait, let me make a prediction." Hetala said.

"You can predict anything at any time." Baanka said in surprise.

"Didn't Old Deng teach you? It's very easy to predict with psychic power." Hetala said as she dug out a crystal ball. "He gave me this crystal ball when he was traveling a few years ago."

"The instructor is really biased. He never taught us about psychic prophecy." Baanka said, "But now that I think about it, it's understandable. After all, I don't seem to believe in prophecies."

"And things like prophecy should also depend on talent."

The two chatted while waiting for the result of the prediction, and soon the result came out.

"Strange..." Hetala scratched her hair after making the prediction.

"What?" Baanka asked curiously.

"The prophecy tells me that Lao Deng is dead, but he doesn't seem to be completely dead. How can a person be in such a strange situation where he is not completely dead?" This was the first time that Hetala encountered such a strange situation.

"? It seems that there is indeed something wrong with the teacher's death." Baanka said, "Everyone has some guesses, but it's a pity that Xia Mian won't say anything."

Although they cannot predict the future, they still have a psychic sense of Fuget, and they still believe in psychic power.

The two chatted for a while and felt that Lao Deng was dead, but he definitely died on his own. He might pop out at any time and scare everyone, so there was no need to take it too seriously.

"Speaking of which, Kuru became Hebanda?" asked Hetala.

"Yes." Baanka said, "Kulu followed the teacher's instructions and disclosed many improved methods and new methods of refining alchemical potions after the news of the teacher's death was announced."

"The entire Xumi now has thirteen more alchemy masters. Although Kuru is not the developer, he still benefited from it. In addition, he is the scholar who presided over the public event, so Hebanda's nomination was quickly approved."

"Mr. Muyefan was even elected as the sage of the Sulun sect because of this."

"That guy finally got what he wanted." Hetala complained.

"He is older than the mentor and won't be a sage for many more years." Baanka said with a smile.

"Didn't Xiamian benefit from this?" Hetala asked curiously.

"Of course she benefited, but Xiamian herself might not care much." Baanka laughed, "She didn't know when she became a priest under the Great Mercy Tree King. Now she is called Hermanubis II."

"It sounds like he has become a high and mighty figure."

"Haha, that's not the case. She still lives in the Sixth Floor Manor." Baanka laughed, "We still often have dinner there, and sometimes we even bring some younger generations to have dinner together."

"She prefers to be called the Lady of Oblivion rather than Hermanubis II."

"And speaking of big shots, none of us have low achievements."

Baanka patted his fat belly and said, "I am the richest businessman in Xumi, Master Baanka."

Pointing at Hetala, he said, "You are Mondstadt's Potion Witch, and you are also a well-known name."

"Batu, a Hebanda recognized by both the Sudhana and Shengdhyana schools, is the current director of the Health Home and a lifetime honorary director."

"Kuru, the Sulun sect's Hebandha, is the first person to study the basic elements and earth vein theory. He is known as the best mentor of the Sulun sect."

"Samel, although she is only a formal datsa due to her identity, she is the number one alchemist of Sumeru Potion, specializing in practical potions, and is deeply loved by the desert people. She also taught five alchemy masters before the mentor announced those techniques."

"Xia Mian has specialized in high-end element theory and alchemy research in many fields, and has solved many problems and difficult problems in the field of alchemy. If she had not had no apprentices and did not teach at Sipandama College, she would have been promoted to Hepantu long ago."

"Now he is known as Hermanubis II, and has been appreciated by His Majesty the Great Mercy Tree King. He is learning from His Majesty the Great Mercy Tree King. We are all big names, haha~"

"The teacher is not dead yet. This is really interesting news. I have to share it with other guys."

Baanka left with a smile. His fleet was still waiting for him in Jingfu Port. He was the youngest richest man in Xumi. He controlled hundreds of camel trade routes that ran through the entire Xumi, and had dozens of fleets traveling between different countries.

He even has an alchemy master and dozens of alchemists under his command.

A few months later, Baanka returned to Xumi City.

Every time Baanka came back, they would have a party or dinner together.

"So what's going on with the teacher?" Baanka asked.

The other three also looked at Xia Mian, hoping that Xia Mian would give an explanation, or at least let them know where their mentor was buried.

Among them, Sameer and Kuru also knew some of the mentor's plans.

"What a hassle." Xia Mian sighed.

"What a hassle." Fugate also sighed.

"Teacher!!!"*4
"Fuget!"

Everyone was shocked.

"I just regained consciousness and heard someone calling me. Can you please stop disturbing me?" The projection of Fugate appeared, yawning.

"You are still alive." Kuru said excitedly.

"It's dead, it's completely dead." Fuget complained, "Didn't you wake me up again?"

"Don't ask Xia Mian any more. She only knows a limited amount. You just need to know that everything is still in the plan."

"Okay, I'm going to continue sleeping. Don't mention me when you guys get together. Let me have a good rest."

"Yes, Master." said the four apprentices.

"And Xia Mian, take care of yourself." After saying that, Fugate's projection disappeared.

The apprentices looked at each other and continued their dinner, but this time the atmosphere was obviously much more relaxed.
