Fulilian: Becomes a disciple of Celia at the beginning

Looking at the map and confirming the approximate location of the ruins, Celie had a vague and not-so-nice guess in her heart.

"If I want to improve my strength, then I guess the ruins of that place are the best."

"That doesn't make sense. If it really is there, it shouldn't look like a spring."

While Celia was thinking, Gut asked Milo with interest.

"You showed us this map directly. Aren't you afraid that we'd get there first and snatch your opportunity?"

"Haha." Milo laughed heartily. "If it really turns out like that, it wouldn't be so bad."

"I'm lucky enough to have saved my life. If that opportunity can help you two, I can repay you for saving my life a little, so I won't be too depressed."

"However," Milo changed the subject and continued, looking at Gut, "If you two are interested in this secret place, why don't we go explore it together?"

"I'll be the front-line warrior, and you, sir, will be the magic dealer in the back. Once we find the ruins, I'll only need to take a small portion of the spring water."

Gu Te raised his eyebrows and said, "You are quite open-minded, but we are in a hurry to get to the Holy City, so you should make your own plans for the secret realm."

After decisively expressing his group's attitude, Gut chatted with Milo for a few more words until the young nobleman's physical strength had recovered to a large extent and he could walk normally, and then ended the conversation.

Fortunately, there were no further problems during the rest of the journey.

After the three of them safely passed through the tail end of the [Alt Forest], they successfully arrived at the town of [Apertido] before the sun's afterglow completely set.

At the city gate, Milo took off the family medal from his chest and handed it to Gut.

Milo said that this was his token of trust. Whenever Gut encountered trouble in the future, he could come to [Frich] to find him. As long as the [Olden Family] could help, he would definitely help.

Gut thought about it and didn't refuse. He took it and put it in his pocket.

Before leaving, Milo once again invited Gut and the other two to team up to explore the secret realm, but was still rejected for the same reason as before.

Just as Milo, somewhat disappointed, waved his hand and prepared to say goodbye, Celie, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke at this moment and said to Milo seriously.

"If you really find that secret place and insist on exploring it, remember what I'm going to say next."

"If there are any signs of human activity in the secret realm, do not hesitate, turn around and exit immediately. Be careful not to touch anything along the way, and seal the entrance to the secret realm after you exit."

"After that, come to me at the [Continental Magic Association Headquarters] in the [Holy City] as soon as possible."

"But if the ruins contain only creations of nature, then you can feel more at ease and explore freely."

"But it's best to test the spring water before drinking it."

"it is good"

Looking at the elf's serious expression, Milo, who was a little confused, agreed in surprise.

But then, the three characteristics of [Holy City], [Continental Magic Association Headquarters] and [Elves] were connected in Milo's mind. Milo asked Celie with some excitement and uncertainty.

"Excuse me, are you the legendary [Great Magician of the Mythical Age] Lady Celie?"

"That's right." Celie nodded and admitted it.

After all, the young man in front of him is a noble after all, so it is not surprising that he can know information related to him.

After learning the true identity of the elf in front of him, Milo immediately stepped forward to express his admiration and worship. After flattering him, he asked in detail about the warnings regarding his exploration of the secret realm.

Celie didn't explain too much about this, but simply reminded Milo of her warning again and asked him to remember it.

Chapter 45: Sleeping in the Hearth House

"call--"

"Teacher, please move a little more and click upwards."

"Is that so?"

"Well, I'm much more comfortable in this position."

[Xinshiji - 21 BC]

[Northern Kingdoms: Huvia Mountains]

Gut carried the exhausted Seliya on his back and continued to climb up along the rugged mountain path.

Sometimes, because the climbing movements were too large, Celie on Gut's back couldn't help but slide down a little.

To this end, after climbing a certain distance, Gut would stop for a while and let the teacher behind him adjust his position before continuing forward.

At such moments that require high-intensity climbing over mountains and hills, the advantages of the soldiers' strong physical fitness are fully demonstrated.

Originally, according to Celia's plan, the two would need to camp in the wilderness of the [Xuvia Mountains] for one or two nights before they could reach the transit cabin in the mountains.

But with Gut's help, the situation is very different. The two of them are very likely to arrive successfully in the second half of tonight.

Anyway, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of sleep when camping in the wild. After a little hesitation, Celie agreed to the plan of letting the disciple carry her on his back and walk day and night after she was exhausted.

Along the way, except for a temporary stop to rest in a clearing in the forest because of the midday sun, Gut's footsteps never stopped for a moment.

As a result, the two of them actually arrived at the mountain cabin a little earlier than expected.

After bending down to put the teacher down from his back, Gut took two steps forward and pushed open the door of the wooden house.

Fortunately, no one was living in the mountain cabin at the moment, and the previous guest had cleaned the house thoroughly when he left, even leaving a bottle of water with a bunch of withered flowers in it on the table.

"Is it a female adventurer who is so thoughtful and romantic?"

Standing in the middle of the cabin, Gut opened the magic device suitcase, took out the mattresses and quilts of the master and disciple, and spread them on the blanket in the cabin so that they could sleep warmer at night.

When Gut was almost done making the bed, Celie walked in from outside with a trace of magic still in her hand.

Seeing this, Gut closed his eyes and felt it.

"I see. The teacher set up a barrier around the mountain cabin that's only effective against demons and monsters. No wonder it took you so long to come back."

While Gut was sighing, Celie had already used magic to light up the fireplace in the house.

With the occasional "crackling" sound from the burning firewood, the wooden house suddenly became warm.

"I'm going to sleep, you should get some rest too."

After instructing her disciples, Celie hung her coat on the hanger in the cabin and went into her bed to rest.

Gut, who was not sleepy yet, pulled a chair over and sat beside the fireplace in the house, lost in thought in the warm environment.

It seems that this mountain cabin is the one that appeared in the plot?

Of course, Gutt was referring to the wooden house where Flillian and her group met the monk Kraft in the main plot, not the one where Shutark was "cured" by Fren after catching a cold and fever.

As for why Gutt was so sure.

In addition to the geographical location, the biggest reason is that this wooden house does not have the big bed that the young couple used for "recuperation".

"Why did I suddenly think of this?" Gut smiled bitterly and shook his head, throwing the colorful secondary short film out of his mind.

After sitting by the fireplace for a while, Gut's blood, which had become hot due to carrying heavy loads while climbing the mountain, gradually returned to a calm and steady state.

"Crack-crack-crack-crack-"

The firewood in the fireplace still made a slight sound from time to time, but the sound was not harsh. Instead, it was a kind of white noise that could calm people's mood.

After all, the sense of security that a bonfire gives people comes from biological instinct.

In this warm [fireplace house], I believe I can have a good sleep tonight.

Thinking of this, Gut couldn't help feeling tired.

After taking off his coat, Gut crawled into his bed, whispered "good night" to Celia who was sleeping beside him, and fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 46: The Entry That Can Resurrect the Dead [Otherworldly Cooking God]

The next day.

"Well"

The heavy feeling in his chest slowly woke up the sleeping Gut. He rubbed his eyes and looked down, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Well, don't elves have a good sleeping posture?"

At this moment, Celie was wrapped tightly in the quilt, lying on Gut like a small croissant.

She twisted her body slightly from time to time, accompanied by her steady breathing, and the "old thing" was sleeping soundly.

Putting his hands on his chest, Gut pulled himself out and gently put the "croissant" down.

After putting on his coat, Gut stood aside, first silently marveling at this "exquisite" sleeping posture, then picked up a wooden stick and stirred the bonfire that had burned out last night in the fireplace.

After confirming that the fire was out, Gut looked out the window at the sky.

The sun is just rising now, and the morning light is not yet glaring. If I move quickly, I will still have time to make breakfast.

Carrying a bucket of water from a mountain cabin in one hand, Gut gently closed the door and rushed towards a nearby water source that he had noted down while traveling last night.

This water source is a stream with a small flow.

Although the flow is not large, it is continuous and sunny, so the water quality is good, and many animals in the surrounding area also come here to drink water.

By the stream, Gut sank his bucket to collect water while looking at the other animals drinking around him and thinking about what to eat for breakfast.

That stag?

Not very good, it's too big to eat in one go, and venison is difficult to cook.

What about that little wild boar over there?

It doesn't seem to be very good. Not only is the processing process troublesome, there are not enough seasonings in the wild, and the fishy smell is difficult to cover up.

So what should we do?

Suddenly, two reflections flashing in the stream made Gut's eyes light up.

Got it!

You can grill fish and cook a pot of delicious fish soup.

After confirming the dish, Gut threw the bucket onto the bank of the stream, squatted on the ground and observed the upper reaches of the stream, ready to take action at any time.

A few breaths later, with another reflection passing through the stream, Gut's palm grabbed it like lightning.

"Crack-crack-crack-crack-"

A huge river fish was tumbling violently in Gut's palm, its slippery body splashing water, making Gut almost lose his grip and letting it slip from his hand.
