The steward said to Ding Zhong with satisfaction: "You are now my apprentice. You are my first apprentice, and you may also be my last apprentice."
Today Gu Da and his men were knocked unconscious by the young master, but they are not dead. They are your enemies. From now on, you must rely on your own strength to avenge and kill all your enemies!"
Ding Kui was slandering, saying that revenge is so bloody. Fortunately, my mind is still strong, otherwise I will be influenced by you to become a murderer sooner or later.
With an excited look on his face, Ding Zhong clenched his two small fists and said with sobs: "I will obey my master's teachings and I will definitely kill all my enemies with my own hands in the future!"
Seeing this, Lao Qiantou patted Ding Kui and signaled them to leave together, leaving the place for the two masters and apprentices, and returned to his room.
Ding Kui was a little puzzled on the way and asked Old Qiantou: "Grandpa Qian, you and some of your guards also call me Young Master. Why don't you have a ceremony like today?"
Old Qiantou smiled and explained: "We are all old members of the Ding family. We have been members of the Ding family since a long time ago. If I want to take you as my master, I just need to change my title and call you young master. Ding Zhong is an outsider and has just defected to the Ding family."
The Ding family, logically, still has to go through the procedures, and Akun’s arrangement is right.”
Ding Kui suddenly understood after hearing this.
Deep in Funiu Mountain, in the heart of a large mountain, an ancient altar is billowing with black smoke. On the stone platform in the center of the altar lies a female corpse. A set of necklaces hangs around the female corpse's neck. The necklace is inlaid with a black crystal the size of a thumb.
stone.
At this time, a faint red light flashed through the black crystal, and the female corpse suddenly murmured, "Brother, brother, Demon, I want to protect Demon..."
After a while, the ancient altar returned to silence.
Nothing happened all night, and at dawn the next day, Ding Kui and the housekeeper were going to the city lord's mansion to collect their salary. The one hundred knights' bodyguards led by Zhong Wei belonged to the marquis' bodyguards and could not protect Ding Kui's friends, so Lao Qian took the lead.
Several of Ding Kui's guards protected Lu Ying and Xiao Xiao when they visited the city.
In previous years, Ding Kun took the document that Ding Qi ordered to collect on his behalf and asked the financial specialist of the city lord's palace to verify the seal of the protector of the country before he could receive his salary. This year Ding Kui came with him, so he specially informed the city lord Teng
Falcon.
Ding Kui's visit to Pingzhong County is considered to be on business, because he wants to collect his annual salary. Logically speaking, Ding Kui's salary will be released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the clan, but Shaodian Dan issued an imperial edict: "Ding Kui's salary will be released by Pingzhong County."
Pay it together and deduct it from the taxes paid by Pingzhong County."
In this way, Ding Kui can come to Pingzhong County to collect money with his official seal.
In previous years, the housekeeper Ding Kun collected Ding Kui's salary on his behalf. This year, Ding Duhu came to collect the salary in person for the first time, and Teng Shun met with Ding Kui as usual.
The previous turmoil in Kengzhu City made Teng Shun want to meet Ding Duhu. He was worried that others would misunderstand that meeting Ding Kui was an act of taking sides, so he was very hesitant. It was not in line with officialdom to think about it.
As usual, we decided to meet in the end.
If you are misunderstood by the nobles, you can always explain it clearly as time goes by. If you are misunderstood by the officialdom as a collective, you can't even explain it clearly.
The meeting process between Teng Shun and Ding Kui was quite simple. It was nothing more than Teng Shun, as an elder and a higher-ranking official, praising and encouraging Ding Kui, a junior and lower-ranking official. Ding Kui expressed his gratitude and listened carefully to his teachings, etc. After that.
After a few useless polite words, Teng Shun told Ding Kui to do whatever he was supposed to do and talk to him when he had time.
Ding Kui's heart was focused on receiving his salary, so he certainly wouldn't mind meeting Teng Shun for a short time. He had a salary of five thousand gold coins every year, and he just spent ten thousand gold coins last night, so he wanted to make up for it as soon as possible.
Three hundred and five thousand gold coins can be packed in a large box, but there is no carriage that can pull it, so the city lord's palace allocated three boxes to the Ding family to store their payment.
The housekeeper took away two boxes, one box was taken to the bank for deposit, and the other box contained gold coins to buy things for next year.
Ding Kui returned to the post house with the last box, which was the Ding family's daily expenses for the next year.
Ding Kui returned to the inn, called Qianyou, and prepared to sneak away to the county magician's guild. He explained to Qianyou that he wanted to buy books about magic and to learn more about magic, in case he met a magician who was interested in him. I can also give Qian Youshun some useful things.
Qian You thought that he was a young man with a lot of curiosity and more knowledge would not be a bad thing, so he agreed to take him to the Magicians Guild with him.
The number one scoundrel, Ding Cai, and the guard captain Zhong Wei quit their jobs, which is why they had to go with Ding Kui life or death due to the incident involving those people from Gu Da.
With nothing to do, Ding Kui and Qian You had no choice but to take Ding Cai and Zhong Wei to the Magicians Guild.
The Magician's Guild in Pingzhong County is located in Beicheng District, just like the City Lord's Palace, on the third street east of the City Lord's Palace. It is built around a magic tower more than fifty meters high. It is said that the Magician's Guild was not at this address in the past. After the magic tower was built fifty years ago, the guild moved here.
The main building of the Magician's Guild is very similar to a Gothic building. The pointed arch roof and door made Ding Kui feel like he was in medieval Europe. The exterior walls of the building are made of pure white stones. I don't know what method was used. Surprisingly, there were no traces of exposure to the sun or rain.
It should be the magic circle depicting Pichen on the outer wall.
The arched doors and windows have many carvings, and some incomprehensible patterns are carved on them. It is said that the entire building complex is connected to the magic tower in the middle, and there is a magic circle that can resist the attack of forbidden magic.
Gong Lianggu, the famous elemental mage from Shaodian Kingdom, lives in the magic tower in the middle. Master Gonglianggu used to be the life and death brother of Teng Falcon's grandfather, Teng Yuan. Gong Lianggu, who was promoted to elemental mage fifty years ago, built the magic tower in the middle of the magic tower. Zhongjuncheng decided to keep his promise to protect the Teng family for Teng Yuan.
There are only two regular mages and five elemental mages in Shaodian Kingdom. The royal family enshrines Master Gui Jing and the Supreme President of the Magician Association Dongfang Wang. These two regard it as their responsibility to protect Shaodian Kingdom. They are the only one among the five elemental mages. The one who protects a noble family is Gong Lianggu, and the other four are all members of the Magician Guild system.
In principle, Gong Lianggu was an independent magician, but he also gave a lot of help to the Pingzhong County Magician Guild, and the kingdom also showed enough respect for this independent magician.
All talented magician seedlings in Pingzhong County are first sent to Master Gong Lianggu for selection. As long as they are selected to become the master's disciples, the family will be tax-free for life and the town will be exempt from taxes for three years.
Ding Kui asked Ding Cai and Zhong Wei to wait outside the door, and he and Qian You walked into the Magician's Guild. The Magician's Guild had status and other professionals were not welcome to enter at will.
Entering the pointed arched door, passing through a doorway, and arriving at a circular patio surrounded by five passages leading to different halls.
In the center of the patio is a statue of a huge magic book. Qianyou and Ding Kui introduced that this is a magical method cultivated by the first magic god of mankind, "Feng Wei". It is respected as the "Dharma God's Book" by magicians all over the world.
This world doesn't like to use statues of people. When commemorating a person, they use the items that the person is famous for. "Magic God's Book" is the first magical magic formula that can become a god. Magician guilds all over the world like to use it. of statue.
"Your Majesty, the books you want can only be purchased by people from the Magic Guild. I can help you buy them. You have to wait here." Qian You said to Ding Kui apologetically that outsiders are not allowed to enter the library of the Magic Guild. of.
"It's okay, I'll just wait here." Ding Kui had no better idea, even though the magic power in his consciousness was equivalent to that of a robed mage.
In fact, Ding Kui can choose to be a magician at this time, but it is not convenient to tell the origin of his inheritance. After all, a powerful enemy is involved. What if the elemental mage who attacked the teacher is not dead and breaks through to the rule mage? , no one can guard against it.
Ding Kui observed the circular patio boredly. The area of the patio was about seventy or eighty square meters. Including the entrance, there were six pointed arches. There was a window sill between each door similar to a showcase, and there was a magic wand inside. A statue in the shape of a statue. He judged that the door Qianyou walked into led to the library, the door in the middle led to the Magic Guild's office hall, and there were three other doors leading to who knows where.
There was no one else in the entire courtyard except Ding Kui. After entering, Ding Kui didn't see any other magicians. Ding Kui thought evilly: "Why don't you take advantage of the fact that no one is around and carve the words 'Ding Jianwen is here for a visit' on the magic book?" ' the words."
When Ding Kui looked at the Dharma God's Book and felt eager to try it, two people walked into the patio from the gate.
Two girls walked in side by side. One was wearing a black magician's robe with no gold embroidery on the cuffs. She was about the same age as Ding Kui. The other was wearing an emerald green dress and was about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was actually Ding Kui. Kui's acquaintance.
Ding Kui was suppressing a smile in his stomach. He really likes to wear green clothes. The style of today's clothes is obviously different from yesterday. The color is all emerald green.
This girl in the green skirt was the one Ding Kui met at Zhao's jewelry store. As the saying goes, enemies never get together.
The girl in the magic robe made Ding Kui's eyes light up. What a delicate little girl!
Ding Kui has read countless people, and he has never seen such a delicate-looking girl. She has a pointed nose, a pointed chin, dark blue eyes with a breathtaking charm, and a small cherry mouth with bright white teeth. , the whole face is flawless.
This girl will definitely be a goddess-level beauty when she grows up.
Seeing Ding Kui staring directly at the girl next to her, the girl in the green skirt was stunned and furious. She could have encountered this dead bumpkin here. She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Ding Kui. He put his hands on his hips and said, "What are you looking at? My cousin Li Fei is a close disciple of Master Gongliang. It is not something you, Mr. Ding Xiaohou, can reach."
Ding Kui's nose almost turned crooked when he heard this. I will fall in love with this little girl, and it will be the same in ten or eight years.
"This girl, who is your name? What grudge do I have against you? Why do you always come against me?" Ding Kui spread his hands and pretended to be innocent.
