After passing the second-level examination, Halumi and Kaya, at the old woman's insistence, arranged for a return carriage as soon as possible, and loaded up a batch of simple goods, preparing to return home.
As the wife of the steward of the Chamber of Commerce, the woman took great care of the two girls who were still half-grown. All kinds of external procurement negotiations were also conducted through her. So before leaving Wulian City, they left a sum of money.
Give money to the old woman.
However, this money is not all hard work. Since Lin transferred all the remuneration he received from the Xijia District Branch into the Richard Richard Magician Fund, he does not have any funds to operate here. Buy
The fees for this house have been paid, but the salary for the woman who was entrusted to clean it regularly is still owed for some time.
Fortunately, the woman's husband was a steward of the Chamber of Commerce and knew very well about Lin's ability to make money. The employer didn't say much nonsense about letting his wife make such easy money. The steward's family, for Lin, a big customer, was still a big deal.
grateful.
Therefore, they did not press for repayment of the arrears. They did not reduce the maintenance of the house and the care of the two apprentices.
Therefore, the money left by the two girls before they left was nominally to accumulate arrears and prepay future house management and cleaning expenses. In fact, it also contained some bonuses to commemorate the hard work during this period. Because according to the habits of the Lost World,
No one pays a salary in advance for several years.
Since there were not many items to bring back to the Tower of the Great Sage this time, the two girls simply packed into the same covered carriage with the goods. It was not a carriage specifically for people, but it was not covered with a layer of soft blankets.
It's even more uncomfortable to get up. But for people who are eager to return home, it's not bad. It's more important to get home early.
At the Tower of the Great Sage, today's day was the same as during the day during this period. There was no one in the tower, so the door was closed. The owner of the tower, who was training two dogs, came to a strange place in the forest.
For many days, every midnight, there would always be people coming to this place, and they would emit a ratio of mana and power that they had never seen before. Lin had tried to simulate the use of this special ratio of mana and power, but it always failed again and again.
fail.
It's just like knowing the chemical formula of a certain compound on Earth does not mean that the compound can be produced. There are many processes and reactions that need to be considered. If you want to manufacture it commercially on a large scale, there are even more things to consider.
For magic in the earth world, there are certain rituals and certain conditions that must be met.
So Lin was more or less curious about this place with its strange ratio of functions. In fact, after taking two dogs to see it, Lin couldn't see anything special about it. White Nose is Dong
Sniff, Xi, sniff, but they didn't pay much attention to it and looked lazy. Gray Hooves was even more direct, running around and peeing to make marks.
Regarding the situation where he came to the scene and found nothing, Lin responded with a normal attitude. As the saying goes, no news is good news. Similarly, no discovery is a good discovery.
A certain person doesn't want to live, as if he has a persecution disorder. He spends the whole day thinking about someone who is planning to harm him. Since he has nothing to do, he doesn't lead the two dogs with the intention of digging deep into the ground.
Go somewhere else.
This matter was forgotten. Lin returned to the only thing he had been thinking about for the past two months, how to play with... how to train two useless dogs.
At any rate, some people have seen what military or police dogs look like, but some people are still not satisfied because the spirit and energy have not been trained yet. The current appearance of Gray Hoof and White Nose, using human images as a metaphor, is that the waist circumference and height are the same
The fat boy, dripping with sweat, stared at the other thin animals, making them tremble.
The size is there, but what makes people scared is the unpredictability of fools. Who knows what weird things the fool in front of you will do, so it makes people tremble. But this is not the look that Lin wants. It needs to be tempered.
Like the tyrant in the Castle of Evil, if he can still make people feel life-threatening just by standing still, he has passed the test.
To use a sentence from my ancestor's masterpiece on the art of war, it is said: It is as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as shadow, and as moving as thunder. Only those who can practice the essence of seven or eight points can be considered successful.
What a dog should look like in someone's eyes.
So the suffering of the two dogs continues. It’s not that they didn’t try to resist, but someone who has complete authority over the magic tower is cruel beyond the imagination of the dogs. He will just bounce and blast at every turn, or use his giant palm to
In this technique, one hand holds the dog's neck and lifts it, and the other hand slaps the dog. Sometimes the two dogs come together, and even the rhythm of the slap is the same.
How can a dog tolerate this! But if it can’t bear it, what can it do...
Just when they thought the dogs were dead and their future was bleak, Gray Hoof and White Nose saw the light of day. Their two owners came back.
As expected, there was another welcome ceremony full of saliva. The girls were also happy to finally return to a familiar place.
But the two carriage horses that followed, and the camels ridden by the guards, were different from usual. They kept commotion and seemed to want to escape. There was no way, after these days of training, the two
The dog's momentum has become somewhat stronger, and the murderous intention has also increased a bit along with the hatred, but it is in a state where it can be released but not controlled.
These are still two girls and two big dogs. They have been close since they were puppies. After that, they have been getting along day and night and growing up together. So although they feel the change, they are not unhappy at all.
The guards who came with the team were not so relaxed. The soldiers leading the team assessed that if they encountered these two monsters in the wild, even if the opponent did not rely on sneak attacks, they could easily wipe out their team in a head-on confrontation.
I really don’t know how the tower owner tamed such a monster. He didn’t ask this in person, otherwise someone would definitely have said: If you had come and taken a look two months ago, there must have been two silly dogs acting cute.
Ha's bloodline.
The return of the girls has renewed the atmosphere of this magic tower, which is gradually shrouded in a chilling atmosphere. Because thinking about ways to torture dogs all day long can make a guy who thinks he is a former fat house,
I got myself involved. Looking back on these days, Lin just wanted to say to himself: Could it be that I have a hidden S attribute?
Looking in the mirror and looking at his hateful expression, Lin couldn't help but think of the infamous psychological experiment on earth - the Stanford Prison Experiment. Power makes people perverted.
But now that the girls are back, it's not appropriate to make fun of them anymore.
Looking at the solid abdomen, although it has not developed six-pack muscles or mermaid lines, it is much better than the fat-rich and loose appearance before. This is the only thing to be happy about.
Lin personally handled the dinner. He went to the town outside the tower to collect a temporary tax and collected three little lambs.
Anyway, in the world of Lost World, there is no fixed time for tax collection. When the lord is in a good mood, he will send a tax collector to collect taxes; if he owes money, he will also send a tax collector to collect taxes; if he wants to buy something but doesn’t have enough money, he will send the same tax collector.
The tax collector goes out.
There is no fixed amount of tax. If the tax collector sees that the family is rich, he will take more; if the family is poor, he will take less. If there is nothing, he will take away what is still valuable. If this family's
The little girl is beautiful, but she only wants people, not property.
In the end, the lord only wanted to see how many bags of coins or other valuable items the tax collector handed over. If he paid more, it must mean that the territory was rich and the tax collector was good. If he paid less, he would have to change the tax collector.
the meaning of.
Therefore, regardless of ancient and modern times, tax collectors are an annoying profession in the land of the earth. The difference is that in the land of the earth, the tax collector must have a good ability. Otherwise, that gentleman is very powerful and will enter alone.
I went to the mountains to fight against monsters and never came back.' That would spread to the ears of the lord.
As for the lord personally coming forward to collect taxes, it will also depend on the situation. Otherwise, rumors that "that lord is very powerful" may also appear.
As Lin is a magician lord, the residents of the town are quite polite to him. It can even be said to be enthusiasm or awe. Originally, he wanted to buy the three little lambs, but inexplicably they became a temporary gift that the residents agreed to.
A tax was imposed. A certain person was forced to pay taxes while he was walking back with three lambs in his arms.
The three lambs were killed and bled, and they planned to make roasted whole lambs. Of course, one sheep would be enough for the three masters and disciples, but two dogs could eat it. Lin was not going to pat his chest and tell the dogs that they had enough. Yes.
If you eat meat, please cry with gratitude, otherwise it may turn into meat.
Sheep blood, sheep intestines, etc. are washed and made into blood sausage. Sheep tripe and sheep heart are of course also delicacies. Other haggis are disposed after being checked for parasites. Try to cook the ones that are edible.
; What cannot be eaten will be burned directly to ashes. Lin does not want to take the risk of swallowing parasites. That kind of disease is considered a terminal illness in the Lost World.
That night, the three of them and the two of them had a great time eating and drinking. It was also a celebration of the girls' success in advancing to the second ring as apprentices.
At night, the work of stargazing and recording is still going on. But tonight, when I look at the starry sky, my mood is very different from the previous days. It feels like I have broken free from a layer of shackles, and I feel like I have let go of my burden. The depth of the sky is still full of stars.
The ocean, in someone's eyes, is also different from the past. It is as if he sees the sun that belongs to the earth and is calling him.
For several days, the people and dogs living in the Magic Tower were adjusting to their lives and regaining their pace.
The changes in the two big dogs were finally seen in the eyes of the girls. The dogs' temperament had changed. They no longer stuck out their tongues, panted and drooled. They would not change their positions at will without instructions. Once they calmed down, they would
Like stone sculptures and clay sculptures, they remain motionless.
But I want the girls’ touch more than before. On the chin, on the dog’s head, on the legs, on the back, on the belly, anywhere. They will respond with affectionate licks. Although the feelings are less expressed, they are deeper and more intense.
Although the teacher was tense for a few days, once he relaxed, he returned to his original shape. A fat nerd is a nerd to his core, and being fat is just an appearance. Even if he loses weight and loses weight through exercise, he is still a nerd.
Just when a few people began to feel idle and gradually moved toward panic, Lin remembered that the last part of the golden skull had been delivered, the left arm.
However, the teacher has to think about where each part should be thrown in the tower.
