I look at the fruits of my labor with satisfaction, but there is still one last step left. Just like the joke about building the pyramid, the last thing missing is the Pharaoh.
Get ready to change clothes, close the door, scrub yourself up and down, and then jump into the pool filled with hot spring water. There are no floor-to-ceiling windows or large glass in the Lost World, so Lin just built a hot spring pool.
On the open platform. When people soak in the pool, if they turn their heads, what they see is the scene outside the Tower of the Great Sage.
The lush and green forest is everywhere, and there is no human habitation. There are hawks and falcons flying into the sky. From time to time, birds and magpies fly away on the canopy, as if there are animals galloping below. Looking at the green, a kind of worldly and independent feeling fills the air.
Chest.
But to be honest, when I'm on Earth, I occasionally go camping in the wild. This feeling is wonderful. But living in a place where birds don't lay eggs and chickens don't poop for a long time. The sight in front of me is really unbearable.
There was nothing like ambition. What really made Lin feel extremely refreshed was the feeling of his whole body being soaked in water.
It would be even more perfect if there is another glass of rice wine with low alcohol content.
Taking a bath in the Lost World is a very troublesome thing. You have to prepare a bathtub in the room, then boil pots of hot water, bring it into the room, and pour it into the bathtub. And cleaning up the aftermath is equally troublesome. You need to
Otherwise, just find a stream or lake outside, strip naked and jump in it. Building a large bathhouse can only be seen in history books and records of some mediocre kings.
Therefore, it is very common not to take a shower for several days. But this was once the thing that Lin, a time traveler, was most unaccustomed to.
Yes, once, something lasted for more than ten years, and you got used to it even if you were not used to it. But now that you have the conditions, there is no reason to continue to abuse yourself.
But when it comes to the wine requirement, I really have no choice. Although rice is also available in the Lost World, the alcoholic beverages are still mainly beer and fruit wine. The colder it is, the better it tastes, but it is not suitable for warm drinking.
Should we get some more brewing equipment? Lin was thinking about it in his mind. But brewing is a technical job, and you can't make anything just by looking at it and relying on your impressions. Just the production of distiller's yeast made Lin blind.
I can't figure it out. Physics is good, but microbiology is on my knees.
"Teacher, what are you doing?"
At the sound of Harumi's voice, Lin turned his head slightly, glanced back, and saw four heads peeking out from behind the crack in the door. Two girls and two dog heads. Lin said lazily: "I didn't hang one on the door.
'In use' sign?"
"Yes, it's in use. But what are you using?"
"Take a bath."
"What is a bath?" As he asked, two people and two dogs opened the door and walked in directly. Kaya also stretched out her hand to splash the water, feeling a little surprised that the temperature of the water in the pool was not too low.
Strange. The face that had remained unchanged for thousands of years also moved slightly.
"It's called taking a bath if you're completely submerged in the water." I felt like I was talking nonsense. But since people came in, it was okay. With this thought in mind, Lin stood up and wrapped a towel around his crotch.
The two girls didn't have much reaction to their teacher's behavior. Anyway, they had been adventuring together for so long, and it was not like they had never seen each other's naked buttocks. On the contrary, Hallumi asked enthusiastically: "Then we can come
Take a bath?”
Sitting on a small stool, with his back to the two girls, Lin said: "If you want to use it, of course it's okay. I'm not soaking in the water all day. But not now, don't take off your clothes in a hurry,──"
Stopping the two people who were about to strip off their clothes and jump into the water, he said, "──There are some rules for using it that I want to tell you first. But before that, please brush my back for me."
Seeing her teacher pointing at the vegetable cloth on the side, Harumi rolled up her sleeves, poured a ladle of water on her back and brushed it vigorously on her back. The feeling of comfort really felt like a lifetime ago. "Oh~, I should go.
You should invent a back brushing magic."
After a strange groan, Lin's nerves were finally reconnected, and he said to the two girls: "Rule 1, when someone is washing, turn the sign on the door to the 'in use' side to tell others
Don't rush in if there is nothing wrong with you. After washing, turn it over to the other side as 'idle'. Rule 2: First scoop water on the side to wash your body clean before you can enter the pool to soak. Rule 3: You are not allowed to wear clothes when entering the pool.
, and of course you can’t wash clothes here.”
After saying that, he looked at it, thought about it, and then added: "Rule 4: Those two dogs can't enter the pool either."
"Why?" Halumi asked with some excitement. After they came back, they found that the habits of the two big dogs were a little different from before. If they were not trained or told what to do, they would always go crazy outside.
I was completely dirty when I came back. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place to wash up?
However, the teacher did not directly answer the question, but added: "If the pool is dirty, I will just ask you to clean it."
The two girls did not hesitate to call out the two big dogs who were using their tongues to detect the water temperature and seemed to be planning to jump in. The aggrieved look with their tails between their legs and their heads raised was funny.
.
Then the two girls were kicked out by their teacher, and Lin went into the pool again. It seemed that he had no intention of leaving for a while.
The setting of the man-made magic open-air hot spring has undoubtedly become Lin Xin's source of motivation. Not only can a dip in it refresh his spirit when he is withering, but he has also overcome several difficulties he encountered before with a flash of inspiration.
Several.
The two young apprentices also fell in love with bathing. In the past, they could not afford to take a bath every day and just served the teacher. When it was their turn, they were too lazy to move the bathtub, too lazy to heat the hot water, too lazy to clean up after washing. Because of these things
After finishing one round, their freshly washed bodies were covered in sweat. It was a waste of effort. So when their bodies were really dirty and unbearable, they always ran to the river to solve the problem.
Now that we don’t have those troubles, why don’t we wash ourselves every day? Although it is stipulated that you must wash your body before taking a bath, and you cannot wear clothes or wash clothes, there is no rule that you cannot play in the water. So the two girls are always in the pool
Had a great time playing there.
And one day I accidentally discovered that while meditating while soaking in water, I actually felt that the accumulation of mana and power was faster than usual, almost catching up with the feeling in the meditation room. So taking a bath became a two-parter.
A girl's daily homework.
I thought that the days would continue like this, but on a rainy afternoon, the Tower of the Great Sage welcomed another group of guests. Generally speaking, it would be enough for the apprentices to come forward to receive them. But on days when it rained continuously, Lin felt like he was in a nest.
It was almost moldy on the third floor, so I went downstairs to say hello to the guests.
In the group of seven, several people were packing their wet luggage, and the leading swordsman was chatting with Halumi. When Lin appeared on the first floor, the new guests followed the two apprentices and respectfully greeted the owner of the tower.
Greetings.
On the surface, he responded cordially, but Lin was actually looking at the direction of the visitor. There was no way, anyone who had been greeted by the Tower of the Great Sage before could be called a bad visitor. They wanted to use the magician as a slave.
There are two waves of villagers, one wave of prosecutors who have raised troops to investigate, and one wave of people who want to crusade against the evil magician after hearing about the incident.
Now why did this group of people come to this remote place that is not a traffic hub? Lin Buqa couldn't help but think too much.
However, everyone looked wary but not disgusted. Maybe these people were just passing by?
"I don't know, where do the guests come from?" Lin asked politely.
"We are an adventure group from the Kingdom of Salamanca, the Sword of Glory. I am the leader of the group, Kohler.──"
The Kingdom of Salamanca is a small kingdom within the boundaries of the Cadiz District branch of the Magician Association. As for the brilliance or the sword, it is the name of the vegetable market in the adventure group and can be seen everywhere.
Anyway, the world does not prohibit people with the same name, so no one cares about this little thing.
"─Our group is preparing to go to the Dodorian Mountains. We heard that there are ogres making trouble there, and we plan to go to conquer them."
The Dodorian Mountains are located within the scope of the Noonan Branch of the Magician Association. Based on the action path of this adventure group, it can be said that it rushes from the northernmost to the southernmost of the peninsula in the southwest region of the mainland. Ogres are a very troublesome species.
It is a species of uncivilized Homo sapiens. It is very powerful and is not a target that ordinary adventurers dare to deal with.
But this group of adventurers who were full of confidence and planned to go to conquer the ogres were poured a bucket of cold water here. Kaya said in her unique flat tone: "What if it was the ogre tribe in the Dodorian Mountains?"
, has been solved."
"What!" Everyone was shocked. Even Lin was shocked when he heard Kaya's words. Swordsman Kohler quickly asked: "How did you know this news? Can you confirm it?"
"It was Count Sita of the Kingdom of Huesca who sent the Thunder and Lightning Legion to attack. A magician named Machelind Fleiss announced it on the forum." As he said that, Kaya brought up the screen of the forum with the water mirror technique.
, and quickly found the boastful article.
Lin looked at the name of the person who posted the message, and suddenly remembered that this was not the same group of people who had accompanied an aristocratic young man here to find trouble.
Swordsman Kohler looked at the discussion thread opened by Kaya. It also attached a picture of ogre corpses piled up in mountains, a backward tribe caught in the flames, and a group of soldiers holding a military flag next to it. On the military flag was a noble crest,
There is also a lightning symbol next to it, which should be the flag of the Thunder and Lightning Legion.
The text is quite wonderful, describing how the legions concealed their whereabouts and secretly surrounded the tribe. Then during the fight, how the soldiers cooperated to reduce their own casualties, and how they killed a large number of ogres whose individual strength surpassed that of humans.
All in all, he boasted to the best of his ability and almost praised this army to the heavens.
When they learned that the nest of troublesome ogres had been solved, the faces of everyone in the adventure group were a little complicated. They were happy that the safety of ordinary people was guaranteed, but also helpless that this trip might be in vain.
However, Kaya continued: "Although the ogres have been solved, there may still be a lot of manpower needed in the Dodorian Mountains."
"Well, what's going on?" This time it was Lin Zai's turn to ask.
"In the Adventurer's Guild discussion forum in the Kingdom of Huesca, the post dedicated to publishing tasks stated that it is said that the original king-level monsters in the Dodorian Mountains have disappeared, and the remaining monsters have begun to fight for the king. The entire mountainous area is in commotion. I heard that
There are also dragons appearing. In order to prevent the monsters from attacking the town, the Adventurer's Guild has issued a large number of expedition missions. If you go there now, you can get bounties by killing any monsters you want."
"This is really messy."
...If there were people here who knew the whole story, they would probably be furious if they heard what Lin said from an outsider's perspective. I really don't know who should be blamed as the culprit.
But after reading the relevant text, Swordsman Kohler shifted his attention to the forum interface. He said: "It turns out that this is the time when I heard about the so-called forum in Xijia District. This is really convenient. I just want to
If we do, we have to go to Wulian City, which is a bit awkward. What a pity."
Halumi said proudly at this time: "Do you want to buy a browser? Just ask my teacher directly. My teacher is the inventor of forum browser technology. If you bring your own magic stone, just iKiel"
The wonderful expressions of everyone in the adventure group are beyond description in words.
