Reborn as a short-lived loli who can only live for three years

It seemed that since that time, Ivy had never seen Teacher Pukulia drunk and sleepy again.

The garden courtyard is neat and clean, exuding the fragrance of grass and flowers, and the air is very fresh.

It has been a long time since the ground was piled with wine bottles.

There are two pots of flowers on the round table in the center of the courtyard, one of which is a vibrant lily of the valley, which was specially transplanted by Pukulia from the secret realm.

In the past, she would hold the pot of withering Liu Guangrui and talk to herself, but now she was just watering the plants and pruning the branches as usual.

In another flowerpot, there was a dark plant growing.

The flower seed that was mutated by black magic has now grown lush branches under the daily irrigation of magic power, and even has a small flower bud at the top.

“Teacher…” Ivy stood outside the courtyard and carefully leaned over.

Although she used to go straight in, after all, the drunk Pukulia would not blame her.

But recently Pukuriya has become more like a normal person, and Ivy has become cautious instead.

Especially, she mixed some abnormal behaviors into her normal behavior.

……

Pukulia walked lightly to the door and picked up Evie.

She shook Ivy and walked into the courtyard, but her words sounded disconnected: "What are you doing here again?"

Sometimes Ivy couldn't figure out whether Teacher Pukuria wanted her to come more often or not.

But apart from anything else, Pukuria was becoming more and more adept at picking her up.

The first few times she was a little unstable, but now she can hold Ivy with one hand without affecting the things she is doing.

"I want to ask you for a favor." Ivy was holding a small incubator in her arms. "Can you help me take care of them for two days?"

"Where are you going?" Pukuria looked inside through the mesh of the box, then casually placed the incubator on the round table.

"The club is going to explore a secret place for two days."

"How important is this thing? Why do you want me to take care of it personally?"

“It should be more important than my life.” Ivy thought for a moment, “It would be terrible if someone saw it.”

Pukulia murmured in confusion, but she didn't ask any further questions.

"Is there anything else?"

Although there is, the timing is not right now.

She and Pukulia didn't know each other well enough, but based on the other's desires, they kept relatively equal secrets...

After all, she still didn't dare to ask for too much.

"Not yet... yet."

Pukulia saw through her emotions but didn't say anything.

The topic ended there, but she didn't put Evie down.

Instead, he walked slowly in the courtyard with a leisurely feeling of taking a walk in the sun, checking the growth of the plants on the edge.

Ivy hung comfortably on Pukulia, even feeling a little sleepy.

But she knew it was all fake.

Pukuria did this not because he liked her so much, but just used her as an exercise.

She would not be greedy for such tenderness.

……

……

The secret realm of Yamai Mine Cave, difficulty level four.

They had two purposes for this trip: to collect pyrotechnic materials and to look for treasures that could be opened with a key.

After Ivy spread his magic power and projected the map onto paper, he quietly followed the team, just a bystander.

Almost everyone else had a small pickaxe in their hands, and once they saw the glowing metal on the cave wall, they rushed over to chisel it.

Various metal materials are packed into colorful packaging boxes, clearly classified and never mixed with each other.

If he encountered hostile creatures, Wan Ye Xi could kill them by just raising his fingers, and he didn't encounter any danger along the way.

Soon, each of their backpacks was almost full.

They went deeper and deeper into the mine, looking for clues related to the key.

"What do you think this key can open?" Shi Zhimeng has been curious about this question all the way.

"Legendary weapon?"

"Treasure chests usually contain powerful items."

"There is no mention of this key in the relevant information... I really can't guess it."

"Could it be a key to unlock the seal?"

"…Then it won't be a problem if we remove the seal rashly, right?"

Ying Youyou and Yuru were obviously very interested in the treasure behind the key and kept guessing along the way.

As they explored deeper, some different magical fluctuations finally appeared in the projected map.

"There seems to be something ahead!" Shi Zhimeng's eyes lit up.

The passage in front of the mine was still pitch black. They continued to move forward carefully with flashlights. The road gradually widened, the air became drier, and a little light came from the far end.

Continuing forward, the surroundings became brighter and they came to a spacious place with the surrounding rock walls covered with fluorescent metal materials.

Several people simultaneously raised their small pickaxes and started knocking around.

The spacious mine suddenly became much darker.

There is a circular totem on the center ground. If you look up when you get close to it, you will find the same strange circle mark directly above the totem.

"These look like patterns that can be activated." Wan Yexi squatted down, touched the totem carved on the ground with his hand, and felt the magic flowing within the lines.

Ye Jiyan knocked on a wall with a pickaxe, and the sound attracted the attention of others.

They came closer to investigate and found a rune pattern on the wall.

“You can find it by following the direction of the pattern on the ground.” Ye Jiyan explained the method.

So they followed the other guiding symbols of the totem on the ground and found the remaining rune patterns on the wall one by one.

The rune pattern was dim and obviously required magic power to activate it.

Tokieda Meng was the first to inject wind magic power, but naturally there was no response.

Finally, Chu Yu found a new clue.

She pointed to the four corners of the totem on the ground, where there were four seemingly incomplete patterns.

"Put them together, and it looks like the symbol of the element of thunder."

"But none of us knows lightning magic." Ying was in trouble again.

"Don't panic." Shi Zhimeng quickly thought of a solution, "I remember there is a kind of rune magic that can transform elemental properties. Let's try that method."

Elemental transformation is a high-level magic, and constructing a magic circle requires a large area. They simply painted directly on the ground, using the copper-green metal powder that they collected in the largest amount as brush and ink, and sprinkled it on the ground finely to form a large circle on the outermost part of the magic circle.

Ying Youyou had never learned such advanced rune magic, and even if she had learned it she wouldn't remember how to draw it, so she could only stand aside and stare blankly.

Yu Liu had already learned a lot of knowledge from the advanced grades. He rolled up his sleeves and joined in the painting. He even thoughtfully pasted a few windproof rune papers on the wall to prevent the powder from being blown away by the cold wind in the cave.

Seeing Ying standing alone again, Ivy stood with her, and the two of them watched others busying about.

The clever companions quickly drew the large magic circle.
