Eight hundred and eighty-eighth chapter priceless treasure
"Haha, no need to look sad, I don't have the habit of oppressing people.——"
The two girls curled their lips at the side, feeling deeply disapproving.
"——If you really plan to learn knowledge from me, I can teach you the knowledge you need in the future before you are twenty years old. If you feel that you have learned it thoroughly and pass my assessment, then it will be considered successful.
, then you only need to serve me for ten years. After ten years, you will become free. If you do not reach my standards before the age of twenty, then starting from the age of twenty, as long as you serve for another ten years, I will be the same.
I'll give you a free life. But some of you are older, some are younger, and some of you may not know your own age. So the specific age can be discussed later."
Such conditions are more specific than those mentioned before. Comparing the two, some simple children have already been moved. They have not considered that this may just change from a severely exploited slave to a limited person with ordinary exploitation.
It’s just the level of a slave.
But Lin Ke hadn't finished speaking about his conditions. He paused briefly to let himself take a breath and let the thoughts roll in his mind. He continued: "If you are willing to stay and study, this
Of course, I will be responsible for all the food and clothing expenses during the period. Instead, even if you have not yet completed your studies, you will be assigned some tasks within your ability and asked to complete them. But don’t think that you can guarantee it with me.
You can be fed and clothed. As a punishment for poor study and causing trouble, you may be punished with a few meals. If you are determined to eat and wait to die, I will also drive you away."
Although the ugly words were spoken in the front, Lin standing in front could still see the disapproval expressions of many children. It was obvious that he had been in the low-level environment for a long time and had developed the ability to do bad things, so he made up his mind to fish in troubled waters. So Lin
Then he said: "If you stay here with me and don't want to learn knowledge and become more useful to me, but you don't want to leave, then go to hell. When you came in, did you see a few plants next to it?"
A tree. That kind of tree is called a cherry blossom tree. In spring, it will bloom very beautiful pink flowers all over the tree. To make it bloom more beautifully, you need to bury a few corpses at the root of the tree, sir.
It doesn't matter if it's a child. Then in the next few years, it will bloom more beautiful flowers. It's a pity that those trees have just been transplanted and there are no suitable people to bury them in the soil yet. Maybe bury a few
It's just right for the disobedient orphans to go in."
The explicit threatening words made the children who were originally eager to try seem to have quietly retreated. They shrank their necks and hid behind their companions, not wanting to be seen by a certain magician, or even selected to be buried.
Glorious mission under the tree.
After making a haha, Lin said: "You don't need to give me an answer yet. After all, this matter is not a trivial matter. I believe it will take some time to think about it. And there are so many of you, so you may not have a unified opinion. So I will give
You have time to think about it and see what you want to do, which is the best choice for you. I will not force you. I will accept as much as you are willing to come. Even if no one comes, it is just that. But please remember one thing
If something does not meet my standards, it will still be eliminated."
After explaining his conditions, Lin didn't intend to stay and argue with a group of children. After all, this matter was just a casual move for him. It didn't matter whether it succeeded or not, so naturally he didn't want to spend too much time on it.
.After instructing the apprentice to see off the guests, he was about to leave.
Halumi and Kaya were determined to help these children. Although they were not orphans, they were 'sold' to the Magician Association by their parents. One of their possible endings was to become experimental materials for evil magicians.
Died in an unknown place.
It must be said that they are lucky to follow a time traveler from the earth. But to help so many children, not to mention that they do not have a good way, and without the support of their teacher, they alone cannot do it.
So the two wanted to say a few more words for the children, but they didn't know where to start.
However, someone's preparation to leave was interrupted again. This time it was Ezio who spoke. The little fat man who ran away from home shouted: "Wait a minute."
Lin stopped and looked back at Ezio. The children he sent to his door were fine, but someone was a little unsure about how to treat this little fat man.
"Well, that...Lao Guy──"
Hearing such a title, someone's mouth twitched. But there was nothing he could do. The relationship between him and this fat boy had not been confirmed. And this title was given after the old black dragon, so someone could only
Let him.
"─You just said that everything has a price. But why were you willing before...well, that's it...I...you know."
He could probably guess what the little fat man wanted to ask, but with such an ambiguous question, Lin really wanted to turn around and leave. Taking a deep breath, someone said: "Of course I am not taking care of you on a whim or on my own.
It was a decision made with great kindness. The price has long been paid by old Augustus."
"What did Grandpa pay for?" Ezio asked anxiously.
"Dragon language magic. And when I was in need, Old August gave me appropriate advice, or similar experiences he had experienced in his long life as a dragon. But don't think that this huge price is for
What you paid for alone. What old Augustus exchanged for this knowledge included taking care of him and taking care of you."
"Since you are taking care of us, why do you still hit me?" Ezio asked in a childish voice.
Someone said matter-of-factly: "I only take care of you within my ability, just to ensure that you have enough food and clothing. It is still impossible to do the impossible. So I don't have to endure your unreasonable troubles.
It's impossible for him to be your father. And don't think that this is a very simple thing. Don't look at old Augustus shouting that he is going to die all day long. According to the life limit of the dragon clan, you might not be able to have a family full of children and grandchildren until you die.
The bones can be used to play drums, but the old black dragon still looks like he is dying."
Seeing Ezio's sad face, trying to digest what an unscrupulous magician said with his young mind, Lin felt a sense of accomplishment in a bad way. He did not forget to continue sarcastically:
"What a pity. You can obviously get something more valuable from me, but you want something that I can't do. Humans are really an interesting species, aren't they?"
Putting aside the entanglement, Ezio asked: "What can I want?"
"What else could it be? Of course it is knowledge. After all, knowledge is priceless. I got it from old Augustus, and if I give you the same thing in return, the old dragon won't care; or in other words, this
It's closer to the results he wants. And to learn these, you don't have to serve me for ten years to pay off debts like others. As long as you want to learn, I will, and I will definitely teach you. Of course, how well do you learn?
, it depends on your own qualifications, I can't turn a fool into a genius."
After saying that, Lin noticed that many children were looking at Ezio with all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred. But the little fat man didn't even notice it; or maybe he noticed that this big-hearted child
