Chapter 67: The consequences of climbing on the roof
Mr. Morsant didn't look good on Claude in the next week. Even if Claude said good morning to him in a low voice every morning, he would only respond with a cold snort. Especially this.
After the "White Deer Morning News" reported that Claude was dissatisfied with the stuffy attic and climbed to the roof to sleep, but was misunderstood as a thief by the night patrol as a local anecdote, Mr. Morsan became even more unhappy...
…
Although the "White Deer Morning News" did not name anyone, but used a pseudonym like Mr. A to report, everyone who knew it knew clearly who it was talking about. Mr. Morsang was very unhappy. On the one hand, the "White Deer Morning News"
The reason for the report was to let everyone know that his son had made a joke. Even though it was a trivial anecdote, colleagues and friends teased him every day: Your son didn't sleep on the roof last night, right? This still makes Morsang
The gentleman feels very embarrassed...
On the other hand, Claude, the second son, was too worried for his father and was too courageous. How could he think of climbing to the roof to sleep? You must know that it is the top of a fourth floor, even above the ground.
It's 13 or 4 meters high, and the roof is still sloped. If you don't pay attention, it will roll down. It's really dangerous...
From this point of view, Mr. Morsan is still sincerely grateful to the night patrol for discovering this situation that day. If they hadn't discovered it early, it would have been too late when Claude actually rolled off the roof. Interesting fact
turned into a tragedy. Compared with the two, Mr. Morsant would rather choose an anecdote than a tragedy. It is better to be laughed at than to lose a relative. After all, he is also a qualified father and a person who cares about his children.
Father.
For this reason, Mr. Morsant also specially set aside a lunch time to entertain the captain of the night patrol that night and the patrol member who found Claude on the roof at the old tavern, and sincerely expressed his gratitude to them.
This incident won him praise from many diners in the old tavern. Everyone thought that Mr. Morsand was really a gentleman and grateful.
As for the "White Deer Morning News", haha... After Mr. Molsang returned to the town office, he held a joint meeting, with the theme of severely cracking down on tax evasion within the business scope and rectifying environmental health and safety issues in the town. So the whole White Deer Morning News
The workshops and venues in Luzhen have all gone through a strict inspection storm. Any slightest mistake will result in a fine and a deadline for rectification...
The newspaper office of "White Deer Morning News" was naturally the top priority in this major inspection. In the end, a lot of problems were found. Thirteen fines were issued in terms of hygiene alone. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper was so distressed by the fine. In the end,
First, a shareholder visited Mr. Morsand at his home with gifts to ask for a favor, and then National Assemblyman Sir Fox came forward to negotiate. Mr. Morssant then nodded and let the "White Hart Morning News" go.
Claude's life was not easy either. First he was strictly forbidden by his father to go to the roof, and then he was ridiculed by his friends and classmates for more than a week at school. Especially Claude was called a foreigner.
The nickname is Claude on the Roof. People who heard this nickname for the first time thought that Claude was a chimney builder...
Claude doesn't care what others call him, but Erikson and Viriclo have already beaten up several classmates who secretly called Claude by nicknames. Usually the four of them are not very gregarious in school.
The classmates were still a little afraid of the four of them being domineering. Even though Claude was more careful and restrained his arrogant temper after time travel, he was still one of the dominant figures in the school. It was rare to make a joke, so how could he not be caught by those
The jealous classmates are making a big show of it...
Claude's headache now is another thing. His father is angry, but Claude can still feel Mr. Morsant's love for his son. However, after being forbidden by his father to climb on the roof again, Claude
De discovered that the Hexagram Meditation Technique, which he could practice six times all night long, could only be practiced three times at most in the small attic. If he practiced it more than three times, he would feel weak and dizzy, his head would be dizzy, and his temples on both sides would begin to have some faint pain. No wonder Master Landers wrote in his diary.
He said that when you first start practicing, you should pay attention to the number of times you meditate and not exhaust your mental energy...
But in this case, Claude felt strange. Hasn't there been a magician in thousands of years who discovered that meditating under the moonlight has the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort? He can practice meditation all night long on the roof while bathing in the moonlight. Not only does it not consume
I exerted all my mental strength and felt very uplifted, just like taking stimulants.
Claude simply didn't believe that no magician had discovered this for thousands of years. After thinking about it, Claude thought that there were only two reasons. All magicians who discovered this were
I treasure my broom and hide it from others.
Another reason is the safety issue, because Master Landers said in his diary that when practicing meditation, you must find a quiet place where no one will disturb you. Although it did not say it is safe or unsafe, it is obvious that even if you practice meditation without practicing Qigong,
The possibility of becoming obsessed, but when the magician is practicing meditation, his sense of the outside world has been interrupted. This is when his body is the most vulnerable. Even a seven or eight-year-old child is enough to give the meditating magician a chance.
A fatal blow.
Of course, Claude once thought that maybe his mental power was special and different from others, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was not possible. In the era of magical civilization for thousands of years, amazing and talented magicians have emerged in endlessly.
What kind of character has never appeared? There are only more people with stronger mental power than myself, not less. Just like Master Landers, his mental power reaches eight, and he seems to be more powerful than himself...
However, the effects of practicing meditation for three consecutive nights soon became apparent. Even though Claude's spirit was still very high, his body couldn't bear the consequences of not sleeping for three days. If he hadn't been misunderstood as a thief,
The next day was Sunday, and Claude probably wouldn't even be able to go to school. He was scolded by Mr. Morsant that day, so he went back to the small attic to sleep at four o'clock in the middle of the night. As a result, Claude slept for eighteen hours.
Around that time, I didn’t wake up until dinner time on Sunday.
Fortunately, my mother often went to the attic to check on her because she was worried. Seeing that Claude was sleeping so soundly, she did not interrupt his sleep. At the same time, she also asked her sister Anna and brother Little Booker not to bring their little snow dogs upstairs to disturb him.
It took Claude a long sleep to recover his body. How can I put it, being young is good...
So Claude learned his lesson and no longer climbed on the roof or practiced meditation all night long. He now started practicing meditation in bed at nine o'clock every night. He finished practicing three times at around two o'clock in the middle of the night, just in time to fall asleep when he was mentally exhausted.
I wake up at seven in the morning, wash up, go downstairs to have breakfast, and then go to school with my friends carrying my schoolbag.
Although he only sleeps about five hours every night, he is mentally exhausted from practicing meditation, so he falls asleep very deeply every time and sleeps dreamlessly until dawn. The quality of his sleep cannot be better. The other is that he is only sixteen
He is old, young, and full of energy. In addition, he can catch up on his sleep in the liberal arts class in the morning, so Claude did not break down his body because of it. Like those described in the novels, all the evil magicians looked pale.
Looking pale and weak...
The only thing that made Claude happy during this period was that Bockard sold his Sullivan gold coin for a high price of twelve gold crowns. This was a price that shocked all his partners.
Knowing that taking the Sullivan gold coin to the bank in the town to exchange it could only exchange for two gold crowns. Ericson and Viricero were both a little excited about this, and wanted to give the Sullivan gold coin they owned to
Take action.
Bokoal said that the Sullivan gold coin was sold for such a high price purely by chance. Four of his father's friends were interested in getting the gold coin as their own collections, so they held an on-site auction at his home.
.Under the auspices of his father, two of them had some minor grievances, so they kept adding more money during the auction, and finally reached such a high price.
In fact, the person who succeeded in the auction had some regrets after getting this Sullivan gold coin, because according to the market price, a Sullivan gold coin is only about ten gold crowns. Although there are very few Sullivan gold coins on the market,
As soon as it appeared, it was immediately snapped up. But the twelve gold crowns obviously exceeded the value of Sullivan's gold coins. He couldn't regret it even after bidding this price, and he happily concluded the deal with Boker.
In the end, Bokoal believed that his father's friend who actually bought the Sullivan gold coin did not suffer any loss. Although it was sold at a high price of twelve gold crowns, as long as he collected the Sullivan gold coin for more than ten years, he would be able to
The price of such gold coins in the world will soon rise to about twelve to fifteen gold crowns.
The reason is very simple. This kind of Sullivan gold coins are refined by magicians using alchemy in the rune magic circle. They are not mass-produced goods that are cast by machines in mint workshops. The number is getting smaller and smaller now, so it can be concluded that in the future,
The price of a Sullivan gold coin will become higher and higher. If a coin collector does not have a Sullivan gold coin in his collection, then his collection is really hard to sell.
Bockaar's conclusion dispelled the idea of selling the Sullivan gold coin that Erikson and Virikro owned. Since Bockaar concluded that the value of Sullivan's gold coin would increase in the future, it would be better to leave it alone. Anyway, they
There is nothing urgent about money now. Maybe it would be good to leave it as a family heirloom to your children and grandchildren in the future...
Erikson announced the good news that this Sunday everyone can go fishing for water ducks on Lake Beringa in his small fishing boat.
To be honest, Erikson has been tinkering with the small fishing boat that was converted from a sea turtle and a wave in the sea for a long time. He originally said that he could go for a stroll on the lake last Sunday. But that day Claude fell asleep on the bed
One day later, Bockaar and Verricro went to the dock of Erikson's house. As a result, Uncle Peg stopped the three young people from wanting to take a boat to the lake. The small fishing boat could be used at the dock.
Stay in the water, constantly put some load-bearing objects, and also test the effect of the living water tank to ensure that the small fishing boat will not leak.
So Bockaar and Viriklo became Ericson's assistants. Under the command of Uncle Peg, they kept moving things on and off the boat. The three of them were almost exhausted before returning home. The small fishing boat still had to be on the water.
Soak it in the water for about three days, then drag it ashore and turn it over to check the bottom position of the boat. Only when you are sure everything is fine can you officially launch it into the water.
"Are you sure you won't ask us to do another day of hard work?" Bockaar asked, Verricro nodded beside him. Both of them were frightened by the tormenting experience last Sunday. They didn't expect to modify a small fishing boat.
It’s so troublesome to check so many times...
"Really, I can swear." Ericson cursed with a red face and swore that he really didn't lie to them: "Uncle Peg has already checked the bottom of the boat and thinks that this small fishing boat has been modified perfectly and can be launched into the water.
Yes. That’s why I invite you to go fishing and hunting on the lake this Sunday. Don’t you know the hearts of good people!”
