When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

When Li Shanren saw Lai Yue Subaru again, the boy had a bandage on his forehead, his eyes were swollen and purple, he was lying silently on the bed, staring at the ceiling, looking miserable.

Li Shanren, who appeared beside the bed in the form of a red spirit, couldn't help but frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Hearing this voice, Lai Yue Subaru came back to his senses and reluctantly turned his head to look. A little hope rose in his eyes, and then dimmed. He smiled bitterly and said, "I messed up everything."

He then recounted what had happened during this period in a disjointed manner.

After the village incident, Subaru successfully integrated into Roswaal's mansion. The two little maids no longer doubted him, and even the maid named "Rem" had a greatly improved impression of him.

However, the village incident also left some sequelae to Subaru Natsuki.

Previously, with the help of the great goblin Parker, he had learned a little about the magic of this world. Due to his high affinity for dark magic, he could even cast a simple magic called "Gauze Curtain" with his bare hands.

The effect is to release a magical mist of absolute darkness, depriving anyone within it of their vision.

During the village incident, Subaru used this magic several times in a short period of time to help him escape from the pursuit of monsters, but because he was not a real magician, the forced release of the "veil" caused deep damage to his body.

This kind of injury cannot be recovered through ordinary treatment methods, and one needs to go to the royal capital to find a healer who is very good at dealing with various injuries for treatment.

It just so happened that Emilia also arrived at the time to go to the royal city to attend the election hearing. The four electors will discuss their own election proposals in front of the sixteen political elders.

Therefore, Roswaal took Emilia, Subaru Natsuki, and Rem, who was in charge of the attendants, to the capital, while Ram stayed in the mansion to guard the house.

After arriving in the royal capital, what Subaru didn't expect was that the person responsible for treating him was actually the knight of Duchess Crusch. Crusch is currently the most popular election candidate, and her knight is the best healer in the royal capital, a demi-human cat girl who looks like a female but is a male.

Subaru Natsuki was very excited to come to the royal capital again. After experiencing two incidents, he developed a certain confidence and believed that he could be of great help to Emilia in the election.

Even though Emilia had warned him that she brought him to the capital mainly to help him heal his wounds and asked Subaru Natsuki not to interfere in the election, he still actively wanted to help.

Especially when he saw a purple-haired knight named "Julius" having some intimate contact with Emilia, the jealous Subaru Natsuki wanted to show his presence even more.

......

"Excuse me...what do you mean by intimate behavior?"

"That purple-haired guy kissed Emilia's hand in broad daylight!"

"You mean... a kiss on the hand?"

"This is just one of the reasons. I don't know why, but I just don't like that pretentious guy! And it's because of him that I became like this."

Lai Yue Subaru, who was lying on the bed with a swollen face, spoke incoherently.

......

In order to prevent Subaru Natsuki from interfering in the election, Emilia made an agreement with him, asking him to stay in Duke Crusch's mansion and receive treatment.

On the surface, although Subaru Natsuki agreed to the agreement with Emilia, he seemed to disagree with it in his heart. Therefore, on the day of the election hearing, he sneaked into the meeting and hid in the knight's team.

Of course, he couldn't have done this alone.

In the days before the hearing, Subaru Natsuki met a red-haired knight named "Reinhardt". Through this knight, he got a set of discarded knight's uniform, which allowed him to sneak into the venue.

The election hearing was not kind to Emilia.

Because her identity and bloodline were too similar to the legendary Witch of Jealousy, if she had not been recognized by the election badge and had the support of Roswaal, she would not have been qualified to stand at the election venue.

And even if she got the qualification, she still received strange looks from the political elders, and her speeches were not recognized.

In that depressing atmosphere, Subaru Natsuki suddenly walked out from the knight team and claimed to be Emilia's "knight".

He did not understand the "knight" system of Caesar's Republic, which was an honorary title that could only be obtained after a formal ceremony and with relevant documents kept.

You can’t simply call yourself a “knight”.

This rash action not only failed to break the situation where Emilia was being stared at strangely, but instead put her into an even more embarrassing situation.

In this situation, the purple-haired knight named "Julius" stood up, believing that Subaru Natsuki did not have the ability and capacity to call himself a "knight", and started a debate with him.

But the result was that Subaru Natsuki was not able to defeat Julius in the debate. Instead, unwilling to admit defeat, he made insulting remarks to the "Knight" in front of everyone.

Afterwards, Julius challenged Subaru Natsuki to a duel on behalf of all the knights.

In the end, on the duel field, in full view of everyone, Subaru Natsuki, who was just an ordinary high school student, was beaten up by Julius as expected.

That's why he is lying in bed with injuries all over his body.

......

"You mean you were on someone else's territory, raising your middle finger to a violent group with a strong sense of cohesion and honor?"

After listening to Lai Yue Subaru's story, Li Shanren showed a strange look in his eyes.

"I'm surprised that you didn't get killed by the knight named 'Julius' in the duel field after such a provocative behavior. By the way, you asked me to come here, didn't you want me to help you get back at square one?"

"No, it's not." Unexpectedly, Subaru Natsuki shook his head. He knew very well that his senior would never do such a thing for him.

Then, he continued in a lonely tone: "If you lose, you lose, but... I want to master - a power other than death and return."

......

Obviously, this incident dealt a heavy blow to Subaru Natsuki.

Emilia was also very disappointed in him, not only because Subaru Natsuki broke into the hearing room without permission, but also because he broke the agreement between them.

As a half-elf, Emilia attaches great importance to agreements, and Subaru Natsuki's behavior of breaking the agreement at will after making it violated her bottom line.

Before Li Shanren arrived, the two had already had an argument.

After learning about what happened to Subaru Laiyue this time, Li Shanren was speechless.

Without understanding how the elections in the Caesar Republic were run, this kid acted rashly and repeatedly made mistakes. Not only did he openly make enemies with the members of the Royal Capital Knights, he also worsened his relationship with Emilia.

This incident also made Li Shanren realize that this kid is definitely not lacking in the "inspiration" to "kill himself". If he continues to let him participate in Emilia's election, who knows what kind of suffering he will have to endure in the future.

Therefore, he once again felt the urge to tie this kid back home.

After tossing this thought over and over in his mind for several times, Li Shanren sighed and decided to observe this boy for a while.

In response to Lai Yue Subaru's request, Li Shanren thought about it and took out four things for him to choose.

They are the Demi-Human Queen's Staff, the Claw Mark Holy Seal, an ordinary long sword equipped with the combat skill "Blood Slash", and a short bow equipped with the combat skill "Spirit Shooting".

The requirements for using these things are not high, and Subaru Natsuki may be able to use them barely. They cover magic, prayer, melee combat and bows and arrows.

The effect of the combat skill "Soul Shooting" is to allow the soul to attach to the arrow, shoot it out at an extremely fast speed, and track the target at the same time.

"Blood Slash" is a fighting skill that Li Shanren has used. By cutting the palm, he uses the blood in the palm of his hand to slash blood over a large range. It can ignore ordinary armor and has a "bleeding" effect. In addition to requiring self-mutilation, it is also a very practical fighting skill.

The intelligence, dexterity, strength and faith attributes required for these equipment do not exceed 10 points. Even if Subaru Laiyue's attributes do not meet the standards, Li Shanren has a way to help him make up for it.

Li Shanren also listed the magic and prayer techniques that could be taught to Subaru Laiyue.

After some hesitation, Subaru Natsuki chose the Holy Mark of Claws, which could slightly increase the power of the Beast Faction's prayers.

Li Shanren directly gave him two prayer scrolls, allowing him to learn two kinds of prayers of the beast system of the borderland, namely "Beast Claw" and "Beast Vitality". Beast Claw and Beast Vitality are a powerful offensive spell, and the other is an auxiliary spell that can heal injuries. The faith attribute required for both spells does not exceed 12 points.

After the relevant attributes are improved to a certain level, Li Shanren can also make the spells he has learned into scrolls and teach them to others, but making such scrolls requires a lot of runes.

These two scrolls alone cost him nearly fifteen thousand runes.

The beast prayer system in the border area is a unique prayer system. You need to go to the Gelid area, to the Beast Temple in the north of the Dragon Tomb area, and find the Beast Priest to learn.

This priest is quite special. You need to collect a special item called "Dead Root" for him. Then he will teach you the prayer of the Beast Faction as a reward.

During the time of exploring the border area, Li Shanren had found many dead roots and sent them over, and also mastered many techniques of the beast faction.

It's just that his faith attribute is not strong enough and the power of the prayers he releases is limited, so he basically doesn't use prayer magic.

Now when he meets ordinary enemies, he can just "win the star" and never complain.

What surprised Li Shanren was that Lai Yue Subaru could actually perform these two kinds of prayers. Originally, he planned to use some equipment or amulets to give him some "faith".

Although the faith required for these two types of prayers is not high for Li Shanren today, it is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

With 12 points of faith, he is at least a devout believer. I don't know what this kid believes in...

......

After dispelling the red spirit and returning to his body, Li Shanren continued to explore the border area.

This time, he planned to complete all matters related to Lani in one go, and then head towards the royal city at the border.

The death of Starbreaker General Latan lifted the seal of the stars, and one of the stars fell into the Nimgefu region.

When Li Shanren arrived at the site where the meteor fell, a huge pit had already appeared there, and countless large and small pieces of gravel were floating in the air under the influence of the repulsive force of the meteor.

Li Shanren jumped into the pit on his Toret, and went down along the barely connected road. A few minutes later, he entered a new underground area through a hole in the stone wall.

This area is very unique, with tall buildings of different styles and lush underground forests.

There is a very special enemy here, called "Bionic Teardrop", which looks similar to black slime and seems to be some kind of liquid creature.

This creature has extremely strong mimicry abilities. The most advanced bionic teardrops can imitate its enemies almost perfectly, even the equipment and enhancement effects of the opponents. It can be said that it becomes stronger when facing a strong opponent and weaker when facing a weak opponent.

However, low- and medium-level bionic teardrops do not seem to have this level of mimicry ability and can only mimic fixed creatures, or even have no mimicry ability at all and can only transform into spikes to attack the enemy.

As expected, Li Shanren encountered an enemy who could completely mimic his opponent during the exploration process, but he was well prepared and took off most of his equipment in advance. He only took the soul-summoning bell and the holy grail bottle to face the bionic teardrop.

As soon as the bionic teardrop met, it quickly mimicked Li Shanren's appearance, and as a result, it couldn't mimic any equipment.

The bionic teardrop can only mimic regular items equipped by the enemy. Items like the Soul Summoning Bell, the Holy Grail Bottle, and the Storage Bag are all highly bound to Li Shanren, so it cannot mimic them and can only attack Li Shanren with its bare hands. As a result, it was beaten to death by the Storm Guards summoned by Li Shanren.

After dealing with the bionic teardrops, Li Shanren came to a vibrant forest.

In this forest, there are many ancestral spirits wearing long-horned headdresses and clothes made of wild animal fur. They are very strong and good at using bows and arrows. They have a very long range, high damage, and strong tracking ability. The archery skills they use are the "ancestral shooting" mentioned earlier.

Li Shanren has the ashes of an ancestral spirit in his hands. He plans to merge it with Letina's ashes, and then continue to integrate other ashes with long-range combat capabilities to cultivate an ash unit that focuses on long-range output.

The "ancestor spirit" is a creature different from the golden tree. It is very mysterious and is hidden underground because it is not accepted by the golden tree.

In the forest where Li Shanren is now standing, the body of the King of Ancestral Spirits is still preserved, but the King of Ancestral Spirits is not really dead, because the ancestral spirits are life that sprouts from life and also life that sprouts from death. It may be waiting for rebirth, so its soul is still hidden in some hidden place and needs to be reached through some kind of ceremony.

In the original game, players can find the Ancestral King, kill him, and while grabbing a large amount of runes, they can also obtain its memories.

But Li Shanren did not intend to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. As a power system that was not controlled by the golden tree, "ancestral spirits" were worth studying, and he planned to investigate them in detail later.

If possible, he wanted to talk reason with the King of Ancestral Spirits, and try to get along peacefully and develop together. If reason was not possible, he could also talk about physics and magic.
