Hao Ren played with the small metal piece in his hand and didn't feel there was anything special about it - in fact, it looked very ordinary.
It was just a palm-long diamond-shaped piece of iron, which looked like a reinforcement that had fallen off an old wooden farm tool. It was gray-black in color, with traces of weather-beaten wear and tear. One side was smooth, and the other side had a curved look.
The vein-like lines on leaves were like the hieroglyphs specially carved on fake cultural relics to deceive people. Hao Ren could confirm that this thing was ordinary iron: he tried it with a magnet.
"Let me see." Vivian couldn't help but snatched the small piece of iron and turned it over in front of her eyes. Hao Ren saw the other party's move and reacted: "Do you know this thing?"
"...I'm not sure, but I should have seen it somewhere," Vivian frowned slightly, "It's not something like this, but I've seen the symbols on it. By the way, where did you get it?"
"I don't know either," Hao Ren scratched his hair, "I remember that there was this thing when I was very young. I was only four or five years old at that time, a little kid of four or five years old. In the toy box
You can't notice if there is more or less. I just remember that I must have picked this up myself, and I don't know why. It was so precious back then that I couldn't bear to throw it away after cleaning out old things at home several times.
threw."
Vivian was obviously not very satisfied with this answer. She held the small iron piece and rubbed the lines on it with her fingers. She recalled it for two minutes before raising her head: "I have indeed seen this symbol, and it was a long time ago."
A long time ago...I mean it was at least eighteen hundred years ago. But I can't remember the details - you know there seems to be something wrong with my memory, and it gets confused over time."
Hao Ren swallowed. He didn't hear anything else clearly, but he heard the words "eighteen hundred years", and he suddenly felt happy: "You mean this thing may be an antique?! And it may be thousands of years old."
antique!?"
Vivian rolled her eyes at Hao Ren: "You can try selling it at the antique market and see if anyone wants it."
Hao Ren smiled awkwardly, knowing that this was another sign of his petty-bourgeois mentality, so he stopped mentioning the selling of antiques for money. However, he still put away the small piece of iron with great care: Even if it is worthless, just sell it to him.
It is also a treasure because it can make Vivian, a thousand-year-old monster, startle.
Then the two of them continued to clean up the house. There wasn't much debris piled here originally, and Hao Ren often came down to clean, so the work was completed quickly. After a while, the debris that needed to be moved was thrown into the small warehouse next to it.
, by the way, Hao Ren also cleaned out half a box of old rags that should have been thrown away long ago, and the basement became a clean new room. There are beds, tables, chairs, and even a network cable interface, but there is no
Vivian hates the sun the most: the only window in the basement is a small skylight on the top of the west wall, which is half buried under the wall foundation of the big house. Direct sunlight only comes in when the sun sets every day, which suits Vivian
lifestyle habits.
Hao Ren still felt that it was a waste of money to let a beautiful girl like Vivian (please remember that vampire girls are always seventeen years old) living in the basement, but seeing the clean room was quite nice, he felt guilty in his heart
It was slightly reduced, and more importantly, Vivian looked particularly happy. She enthusiastically helped Hao Ren dust off the dust he had collected while working, with a smile on his face: "Landlord, you are such a good person, thank you. I used to
When I was making a living outside, no one was so kind to me. At that time..."
Well, we can't say enough about the bitter past of the vampire girl. In short, we know that this unlucky girl finally ushered in a good life after living in embarrassment for thousands of years - at least in her opinion, the current life is quite beautiful.
The girl is so easy to satisfy that she is ridiculously easy to take care of, just like Lily.
It may take a few days for Yzaks to adapt to his new life here, and it will also take a few days for Vivian, as a cook, to adapt to the sudden addition of a second rice bucket at home (the first rice bucket can be eaten in one sitting)
Lily (Lily who made three bowls of noodles), the running-in period between the new tenants has just begun, and according to Hao Ren’s observation, the current situation is stable: the big devil is a kind-hearted and non-confrontational guy, with a good temper that is completely opposite to his racial setting.
In this way, Hao Ren doesn't have to worry about his daily life becoming more chaotic: for God's sake, with Lily and Vivian as two living treasures, if there is another bad-tempered person in this family, Hao Ren should consider sleeping on the street.
Since there is no need to worry about a fight at home for the time being, Hao Ren naturally has to pay attention to matters at his workplace: he and Raven 12345 have not seen each other for several days, and they have accumulated a lot of problems.
So on a morning with clear skies and cool autumn wind, Hao Ren got on a shabby bus heading to Wang Batuozi, and after a long journey of dirt and debris, he arrived at that mighty and domineering place: the Office of Heaven on Earth, or the Earth Office for short.
Stationed in the Football Office.
The luxurious bungalow in Raven 12345 seems to always look like that. The space it is located in is frozen in a foggy morning as if time has stopped. The scenery within the bungalow is pleasant, but outside the scope there is always an invisible layer of thick fog.
Occupied, Hao Ren would sometimes wonder if he should go into the thick fog to have a look, maybe he could discover the secrets of this "God Realm", but every time he failed, he didn't even dare to follow Raven 12345
Mention this - God knows if that neurotic woman will simply give him a brick after hearing Hao Ren's whimsical idea.
Hao Ren was led to Raven 12345's office by a blue elemental servant. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the goddess behind the desk, concentrating on studying an image floating in the air, looking at her face from time to time.
With his brows furrowed and sometimes lost in thought, Hao Ren was shocked: This unreliable guy actually works hard sometimes!
At this time, Raven 12345 had already sensed someone coming in. He raised his head and said hello carelessly: "Hey, Hao Ren, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look good. Are you jet lag?"
"Well, it's okay, it's okay," Hao Ren couldn't enter the "mortal pilgrimage" state of mind every time he met this goddess. Over time, he simply got used to it and treated it like meeting the department manager at work. "
I came here to think..."
"Don't worry, please give a detailed report on this mission." Raven 12345 waved his hand, "What you said two days ago was too brief. I can't write a file now."
Listen, this is so formal! God still has to write a file...
Hao Ren had no choice but to clear his throat and recount his experiences in the UK two days ago in full. This time, he focused on the undead under Jofold Castle and the half-baked demon hunter named Nangong. He felt that this was his mission.
The biggest surprise in the process, so it is worth mentioning. After listening to this, Raven 12345 was silent for a few seconds and asked Hao Ren a question: "What do you think is the biggest difficulty you encountered in your mission?"
Hao Ren was silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke frankly: "With a mortal body, I really can't do such a fatal job - I think I still need some fighting power. Even if I don't have fighting power, I still have the ability to protect myself. In the underground palace,
Sometimes I almost died from exhaustion just following Lily. Most of the time, let alone fighting the little monsters, I was trying to prevent myself from being beaten by the little monsters. This might lead to death! The physical strengthening you mentioned is true.
The account has arrived, but is it a little slower? Or you can give me a less critical task next time..."
"This is already the simplest job for you. The only remaining task in the same period is to go to Betelgeuse to mediate the war. Are you going?" Raven 12345 rolled his eyes, "But you do need to exercise and strengthen. This is true.
Physical adjustment alone can only give you a foundation. Real combat effectiveness requires training. Well, let me give it to you first..."
Before Raven 12345 finished speaking, Hao Ren immediately became energetic: "Give me a secret technique, right? I should have such a thing!"
"Haha -" Raven 12345 looked at Hao Ren sideways, "You have read too many novels, and you think that if I just give you a secret book of exercises, you will reach the sky in one step? That thing also needs to be learned and trained, mortals
To cast a fireball spell, you have to do exercises for two months to get familiar with the formula. Arcane magic requires advanced mathematical knowledge. You think it is like the game, you can get the skill book and double-click it to make an ice arrow -
- What a beautiful idea. A guy who usually complains about being tired after reading a math problem will not be able to learn it even if he is given a complete collection of forbidden spells. The question bank at the beginning of "ten years of casting spells and thirty years of simulation" is enough to make him cry.
