The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 4, Kawan Station
"Have you rested? It's time to go, otherwise we won't be able to reach the camp tonight." The guard said to Fugate after bandaging the wound.

The camp that the guard was talking about was actually a place with a small and uncertain water source. Fugate had encountered such a place when he was traveling before. These places had a few more walls at most, but this was enough for the caravan.

"Hmm~" Fuget nodded, then followed the main force. After a while, Fuget fell into a state of self-destruction again.

The rest of the journey was smooth sailing, with only three or five wandering groups of Hillock people being wiped out. The caravan soon arrived at [Kawan Post].

According to the guards' complaints, the situation on their road section is actually a normal one for merchants. When they are doing business normally, they would at most encounter Hillilites and ordinary robbers, and the robbers usually ask for money for the passage. The robbers who come up and attack directly, like the one yesterday, are very rare.

It was almost noon when Fugate and his companions arrived at Kawan Post.

Kawan Station is quite prosperous, and there are a large number of elite mercenaries of thirty people here to maintain law and order. After arriving at Kawan Station, Fugate separated from the people in the caravan.

The caravan members went to the caravan area, where they would deal with the specialties of their own tribe and purchase some specialties from the Sumeru rainforest area.

Maybe he had to go to the black market to buy some contraband. Although Fugate didn't find out, he had already figured it out.

After putting away his luggage at the hotel, Fuget went out with the Mora bag. According to the information he got from the caravan and Aru Village, if he wanted to study at the Institute of Teaching, he had to report to the scholars at Kawanyi.

If all else fails, you can ask the scholars here about the relevant requirements.

He really needs a lot of knowledge. On the one hand, he hopes to find a way to heal himself from it. On the other hand, even if he cannot find a way to heal himself, he can anchor himself through a lot of information and let more people know his name.

Those who know his name will inevitably talk about him, and naturally these people will become the anchors for him to anchor himself.

According to the system, this is the belief anchoring method. Although it has some side effects, it is also the most common anchoring method.

Apart from those scholars who wanted to conduct archaeological research in the desert, the only people left in Kawanyi were scholars guarding the sand-proof wall.

The former are basically working in small teams for their own projects, while the latter are officially assigned by the Council of Ministers. Except for those who go out to patrol the sand-control wall, the rest basically stay in the office of Kawanyi, so they are relatively easy to find.

However, this place is heavily guarded, and breaking in by force is basically impossible.

Fuget was only nearby for a short while before he drew a warning from the Thirty Man Mercenaries.

"Stop, what are you doing sneaking around?" The mercenary stopped Fuget.

Fuget then said, "I am a scholar from Kanreya, and I want to study at the Order House for a while. I don't know what the operation is."

The mercenary scratched his head and said, "Let me take you to find those scholars. We really don't know this."

The mercenary quickly took Fuget to find a scholar who was writing and drawing in a room.

"Flo, I have finished your report. The mechanism you collected... um? Ahem~ is there something you want to bring people here for?" The scholar only noticed Fget behind the mercenary at this time.

"Hello, my name is Fuget, I'm from Kanreya, and I want to study at the College of the Church, so I want to ask about the rules." Fuget said.

"Hello, I am Airomini, a scholar of the Life Theory School of the College of the Decrees. After graduation, I was entrusted by the sages to look after the Kawan Post and the nearby sand-control wall." Scholar Airomini said, "Regarding the question you asked, er~ Can I ask your age?"

"I'm already thirty years old this year." Fugate said expressionlessly.

"Uh~ You are a bit old, old man." Scholar Iromini said embarrassedly, "Although there are many scholars in the Faculty who have not graduated until they are thirty years old, strictly speaking, the Faculty will not accept students of such an old age."

"But I just don't know how much knowledge you have, brother." Scholar Ailomini asked, "What is the direction of your research and what are the results? Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious about it."

To be honest, looking at this expressionless guy, he is under quite a lot of pressure.

"I study consciousness and the brain." Zimiefuget finally found something that corresponded to the designed instructions.

Following the guidance of his consciousness, he had memorized the ten brain science books while the drug was still effective.

Of course, due to the special circumstances of the self-destructor, there was no way for me to fully comprehend it. I simply memorized it word for word.

"This is indeed a relatively rare research direction. So are there any research results?" asked scholar Ailomini.

"I wonder if being able to put people into a deep sleep counts as such?" asked Fugate.

This is the only ability that Fgate has when he is in the self-destructive state, mainly because the book explains deep sleep more clearly.

"Uh~ what is deep sleep." Scholar Ailomini scratched his head. The House of Lords had basically no research on this, so they didn't even know what light sleep and deep sleep were.

Fugate briefly explained the concepts of light sleep and deep sleep.

"It sounds good." Iromini nodded. "Can you use it on me? If possible, I can give you a letter of introduction. Don't underestimate me. I am a formal Tusita after all."

"The Church will still recognize my letter of introduction. At least it won't be a problem for you to study as a student, or even Diliyesi."

It is very difficult to improve the academic rank in the Academy of Teachings. Before graduation, they are collectively called students. After graduation, they can be called Diliyeshi, which is the so-called wandering scholar, which is roughly equivalent to the undergraduate before the time travel.

After Trilyasita comes Dhāsita, who can serve as a mentor in the Gāthāna Dhāsita. However, Dhāsita can be divided into two levels: trainee Dhāsita and formal Dhāsita.

Above Dhāsata is Hābāṇṭhāra, a position roughly equivalent to the professor in the world before Fūgate traveled through time. There are only very few Hābāṇṭhāra in the entire Institute.

Hebandha is considered the ceiling of conventional scholars. Above Hebandha is the sage. Compared with Hebandha, the sage is more like a manager and administrator. Of course, their academic abilities are not weak either. The sages will elect a great sage to assist the Great Compassionate Tree King in managing the entire Sumeru.

For example, Irominius is an administrative staff appointed by the sage, and similar ones include tax collectors in various places.

Of course, although Ailomini looks ordinary, he is actually responsible for the care of the entire Kawan Station and the surrounding sand-proof walls. He has a lot of people under him, but these guys have been sent out by Ailomini to eat sand.

Scholars of the level of Eromini are top-notch among all the administrative scholars sent abroad. Because the Hepatidas have a higher status, they can refuse the arrangements of scholars. Some Hepatidas even have a higher academic status than sages.

Fugate told Elomini how to enter deep sleep and assisted in hypnosis. After a while, Elomini, who had looked energetic, fell asleep on the table.

The mercenary Flo on the side was stunned.

"Then I will come to see this scholar again tomorrow," said Fugate.

"You can come to me directly tomorrow. I'm usually on duty at the door." Flo said, "But is the deep sleep you just mentioned real? Um, the one that adjusts the body."

"It's true. It can regulate the body's endocrine system very well." Fugate, who was in a self-destructive state, read out the book expressionlessly. Anyway, that's what it says in the book. I don't know whether it is useful or not.

(Kavanyi, where the rain forest meets the desert)

···The dividing line between the acquisition map and the hotel rest area···

"I had such a comfortable sleep." Ailomini stretched and found that he was not on the bed, but lying on the table.

The paperwork on the table has been cleared away.

It was then that Airomini remembered the Kanreya scholar he met yesterday evening. "He's quite capable." Airomini scratched his head, took a piece of paper from the shelf next to him and began to write a letter of recommendation.

He was an official Dhāsata. After being sent or exiled here to eat sand, he was given two recommendation quotas every year. These recommendation quotas could not be accumulated. In addition, the surrounding areas were all rude desert people, and few people wanted to go to Xumi to study.

So he hasn't recommended anyone to study in Xumi for several years in a row, and this year is no exception, so his place is still there.

"Uh~ I seem to have forgotten to ask him which college he wants to study in. Let him choose it himself when the time comes." As Ailomini spoke, he stamped his private seal, then rolled up the kraft paper and finally tied it with the special ribbon of the Ordinance House.

“I hope Mr. Fugate can publish his research so that more people can have a better rest time.”

Soon other scholars came over. They needed to report to Mr. Ailomini about the situation of the sand-control wall near Kawanyi.

When they returned yesterday evening, Mr. Erromini had been hypnotized by Frogette and was in a deep sleep, so the work was not completed.

However, the captain of the Thirty-Man Group, Flo, had already helped Mr. Ailomini explain, so early this morning, these scholars came to Mr. Ailomini with yesterday's investigation report.

Mr. Ailomini filled in all the data in the corresponding places with great energy.

"Mr. Erlomini, how did you sleep last night?" Someone was curious about the so-called deep sleep.

"He slept really well." Erromini said, "I have even written a letter of introduction for him."

"Bah! Bah! The wind and sand are so strong today." Flo, the captain of the Thirty-Man Group, brought Frogette to Erromini's office and complained as soon as he entered the door.

"The woods can block the wind and sand, but we are still too close to the desert, and the wind and sand from the desert will always come here." Ailomini said, "Dear Mr. Fugate, how did you sleep last night?"

"Mr. Eromini, I had a good rest last night. You look energetic. It seems that the deep sleep last night was effective." Fuget bowed expressionlessly. Looking at Fuget, Eromini touched his forehead. Although he was already aware of Mr. Fuget's attitude, it still felt a little weird to face him.

"Yes, and I would like to thank Mr. Fugate for his assistance. You are indeed a master in the field of consciousness research."

Last night, Flo had already inquired about the relevant information about Fuget. Many people in Kawanyi had some impression of this expressionless guy, and those who had dealt with him were even more impressed.

Of course, Flo and his mercenaries also said last night that they had tried the deep sleep that Fget mentioned.

Well, there is an effect, but not much, because the time they can enter deep sleep is very short.

But then the two chatted for a while, and Eromini couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Fugate was really a very knowledgeable person, and his research on the brain and consciousness was very in-depth.

Then, Ailomini handed Fugget the letter of recommendation he had written in the morning.

And tell Fuget to go to the House of the Order to find the scholars in the Admissions Office, and they will make proper arrangements for Fuget.

Of course, he was still curious and asked Fugate what major he wanted to study in Xumi.

"I plan to study pharmacy, elemental science, and alchemy." Fuget said emotionlessly, "I mainly want to transform my research from pure knowledge and theory into something more in line with the material world."

"For example, drugs that can improve concentration and even inspiration."

Ailomini laughed and said, "If there really is such a medicine, it would be great news for scholars."

"But if you want to learn these, then you need to study at the Sulun School's Sipandama College. This school likes to tinker with alchemy and potions, and also has students who study earth veins and like to travel around. It is considered to be relatively easy to graduate, and has always been the school with the most wandering scholars, Diliyesi."

"Of course, if you want to study pharmacy, then going to the Ami Liduo College of the Shenglun School is also a good choice. Our Shenglun School's medical technology is the best in the world and has conquered many stubborn diseases."

Seeing that Fuget was still unmoved, Ailomini scratched his head. It turned out that he was more suitable for planting trees than doing enrollment work.

"Anyway, if you're interested, you can go and audit the class. I'm a bit famous in Amiribo. You can mention my name when you go there, and I think you can attend a few classes."

The two then talked about their views on the drug proposed by Fugate, but Aromini didn't believe that such a drug really existed.

"You'll see." Fugate said expressionlessly.

Then Flo and other mercenaries brought a lot of documents, and then Fuget said goodbye.

After saying goodbye to Ailomini, Fuget returned to the hotel and packed up his supplies. He planned to go find out if there was any caravan going to Xumi City and see if anyone could take him along.

There are such caravans, and there are even many of them. After all, Kawanyi is a small town with a relatively large material throughput. But unfortunately, these caravans are not willing to take Fuget with them.

After inquiring with the three families, Zimiefuget decided that it would be better for him to go to the Ministry of Education alone if he had the time.

So Fugate began to prepare to go on the road alone.

Although the desert area is very dangerous, the rainforest area is not safe either. The sections of roads that have been opened are okay. Once you leave those sections, you will quickly get lost and then die soon because the terrain in the rainforest is complex and there are big trees everywhere.

Even for the locals in the rainforest, it is quite dangerous to walk. When he heard that the elite team of rangers composed of scholars could walk in such an environment as if it were flat ground, Fugate was very impressed. At least he was sure that he could never do that now.

To achieve that level, one needs to study for more than ten days while taking NZT-48, and then go to the jungle to adapt for a few days.

However, Fuget is not going to waste the NZT-48 in these places, so Fuget needs to go through this road by himself.

Fuget first conducted some adaptive training over the past four weeks to ensure that his combat capability would not be reduced due to the sudden change in the rainforest and its climate.

Of course, another option is to wait for the sandstorm in Kawanyi to pass.

Fugate chose to set off early in the morning, which was different from setting off in the evening in the desert. According to the businessmen's experience, it was safer to set off early in the morning in the rainforest area. This was not told to Fugate by anyone, but was something Fugate observed himself.

Merchants, lone mercenaries and the like will tacitly abide by this time, but scholars who are investigating do not care about this issue and they usually leave whenever they want.

Following the earliest guidance set by consciousness, Fuget, in a state of self-destruction, decided to abide by the wisdom of his predecessors.

Fugate was still dressed like a traveler, but the robe of a low-level noble of Kanreya was wearable in the desert, but it was not suitable for living in the rain forest.

When Fugate left, he was wearing a cool outfit of a rainforest mercenary, and then covered with a thin layer of silk. These silks were said to be imported from Liyue. In short, the price was very beautiful.

Fortunately, Fuget, who was in a self-destructive state, did not feel any emotion such as pain. He just bought it directly because he felt he needed it. Of course, his bargaining method of putting a knife on the other party's neck actually made Fuget spend less money.

After leaving Kawan Posthouse, Fugate encountered a robbery, but this had nothing to do with Fugate, he was just passing by.

For Fuget, who was in a state of self-destruction, nothing in the outside world was enough to awaken his consciousness, so Fuget left without even looking at the robber and the robbed as they were both stunned.

Soon we officially entered the rain forest.

Fuget also began to be alert. Compared with the dangers brought by the monsters, the hillbillies, and a small number of giant desert scorpions in the desert, the dangers in the rainforest were more three-dimensional and more diverse. Fuget needed to be more careful to ensure that he could get out of the rainforest alive.
