Volume 1 Otherworldly Rhapsody Chapter 1 Long Ming and the Young Master
introduction
The course of life is always like this, the long road is long, and in the end, I find that it is not a game of fate, a joke......
I opened my sleepy eyes, turned off the alarm clock, and pushed the pillow open. The alarm time is displayed at 11:40.
When I got up to brush my teeth and wash up, the air conditioner stopped dripping, and Rod knew that it was out of power. He wiped his face and looked at himself in the mirror, his godless eyes and messy hair.
"Ha, really, how did you become like this?"
Picking up his phone and ordering a takeout, and paying the electricity bill by the way, Rhodes turned on the TV.
"Today's news: Recently, our city has experienced a rare thunderstorm weather in decades, please stay at home and avoid going out......"
"Scientists say they have discovered anomalies in the magnetic field, but it is not clear whether they will have an impact on human life......
"xxx male star is suspected of cheating xxx actress, this station remembers the exclusive report......"
Turn off the TV, today's news is becoming more and more unnutritious, and it is as boring as life.
"Boom"
Thunder rang out in the sky, and the rain suddenly began.
Rhodes got up and closed the window, and lightning bolts broke through the sky.
"Wow, that's dangerous, I don't want to be killed by lightning. Before he finished speaking, his eyes flashed, and Rod was suddenly unconscious.
---------------------------------------------
"Eh, wake up, wake up, don't sleep, it's time for you to get to work. β
Suddenly woken up, Rod rubbed his tired eyes, stunned.
"Ah, is it dawn?" said Rod, yawning heavily.
"What are you doing there, why don't you get over here and work, it's going to be dawn soon." A sturdy blackbeard scolded.
Rhodes hurriedly got up, fed the horses, chopped wood, and swept the floor......
The thirty-third day of the time-travel.
Yes, that's right, everyone else is a big young master, a genius is a genius, and you, Rod, are a subordinate.
Before he could recover his strength when he first crossed over, he was whipped by Blackbeard's superintendent and grinned, and was rushed to remove the grass. After a bleak period of darkness, Rhodes came to terms with this fact.
You, Rod, have crossed into a dragon's song.
......
......
After the rooster crowed three times, the sun gradually rose, and several members of the Edwin family, who had finished their morning work, sat around the ashes, eating brown bread and chatting.
The thin black kid Duck munched on his bread and said vaguely, "Hey, have you heard, Hilbert Patriarch seems to have invited some big man from the Pharmacists Association to treat the little master." β
Blackbeard immediately slapped Duck in the head, fanning out all the food in Duck's mouth. "Shut up, Duck, what does it matter to you, little master. β
Duck looked at the food on the ground and wept sadly. But he didn't dare to resist, looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he snatched half of the uneaten bread in Rod's hand and ran.
"Hahahahaha β
There was a burst of laughter around, and Rhodes got up silently and went back to work.
Somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Rhodes was cleaning alone, with fallen leaves, dead branches, dead grass, and broken flowers.
After cleaning, it is time to water and weed, and to tending to the flowers and plants that are unique to this small area.
The Edwin family did not stipulate that they should come to clean this back garden, but Rhodes found a rare peace in this remote back garden. So he began to take care of the flowers and plants here as his own pleasure.
......
Hilbert, the ruler of the Edwin family, is a little-known fond of reading and resting on a stone bench in the back garden. The first time Rod saw him was in this place, and the gentle and elegant man nodded to Rod in a friendly manner, complimenting him.
At that time, the image of the Hilbert patriarch without a master in Rod's eyes suddenly became taller.
After pouring one last water, Rhodes wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Looking at this thriving paradise that belongs to him alone, Rod has a full sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Your name is Rod, right? A sudden greeting startled Rod.
Turning his head, Hilbert was dressed in a neat gown, holding a book, and looked at Rhodes with gentle eyes.
"Yes, sir, I'm Rod. I...... I'll take care of the flowers. Rod replied.
"No one has ever come to this back garden, and you're the first to come here to take care of the flowers. Hilbert said, "Do you like the flowers?"
"Uh, well, actually...... Actually, I got the peace I wanted in this garden. Rod lowered his head in embarrassment.
Hilbert crouched down and looked at the child in front of him, as if recalling something. He took out the decorative black rose from his breast pocket and put it in the broken pocket on Rod's chest, smiled, and got up to leave.
Soon after he left, Wallace, Hilbert's old butler, rewarded Rhodes with a golden gold coin, and said that Rhodes would be in charge of this place in the future, and the lord was in a good mood when he saw the flowers and plants here.
Rhodes realizes that he seems to have been promoted to the caretaker of this garden?
Before he had time to rejoice, Rod immediately ran to Blackbeard's supervision office and announced the good news to everyone.
"And this shit luck?"
"I actually met the master, and I was specially approved to be the manager of the garden. β
"Why don't I have this kind of luck, no, I'll ...... next time"
......
Blackbeard and the others looked at Rod, their eyes were full of envy, Blackbeard took out a key, "There is a house in the back garden that has not been inhabited for a long time, since you have become the administrator, this key will be given to you." β
Excitedly, he packed the bag that he could take with one hand, and ran to the back garden with the key.
Sure enough, in the corner of the south wall of the garden, there was a dilapidated hut. He took the key and opened the door, and a rotten smell mixed with dust came from the pavement.
"Ahem, ahem. Rod choked on the dust.
When the dust cleared, looking at the style of the house, it was still the same, except for the dust and the smell of rotten wood, there was everything that should be there.
"Whew, I've finally cleaned up. Rod wiped his sweat and looked at the fruits of his labor.
The house was cleaned up and looked new, and although it still smelled of rotting wood, the dust and cobwebs had been cleaned. The broken bed board was also replaced with wooden planks, poured a glass of water, took a shower, and it was already dark.
Rhodes found that the moon was so bright tonight, as bright as his mood.
Although Rod had already slept at this time because he had to get up early to work the next day, after becoming an administrator, Rhodes learned that Blackbeard didn't need him to do rough work in the future. With that excitement, Rhodes took a walk in the back garden.
The bright moonlight poured on the stone pavement of the garden, accompanied by the sound of insects, and this was Rhodes' own kingdom. Rhodes finally felt a sense of happiness, with a little tranquility, and the hardships he had endured for dozens of days seemed to be worth it.
Tears flowed unconsciously, and the long-suppressed pain was released.
A hint of sobbing sound, with a little sadness, looked extremely sad under the moonlight.
Wait, I'm not crying. Rod was stunned for a moment, and suddenly noticed a dark figure not far away sobbing quietly on the stone bench.
The dark shadow also seemed to spot Rhodes and looked at him, "Who's there?"
Rhodes walked towards the dark shadow and found that it was actually Jack, the young master of the Edwin family, "It's me, young master, I'm Rod, the lord told me to manage this garden in the future, and I came out to see the flowers and plants growing." β
Jack wiped away his tears: "See?"
"Young master, I didn't see anything. Rod replied.
"Don't tell anyone about tonight, or you know the consequences. Jack said coldly.
"Don't worry, I haven't seen or heard anything, I'm alone here tonight. Rod immediately replied, "Young Master." Do you need to sit down a little longer? I'll leave. β
"No need, you, can you talk to me?" Jack's voice softened, and at this moment he was like a wounded kitten, without the slightest hint of the young master's shelf.
Rod sighed lightly, "Young Master, have you encountered something bad?"
"Have you heard about someone helping me see a doctor?" Jack clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, looking extremely aggrieved.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with the young master's illness?" asked Rhodes.
"I am the cursed!"
......
οΌοΌοΌ
οΌοΌοΌ
"I'm the cursed!" said Jack angrily.
"What!" Rod was taken aback, not only because Jack was a cursed man, but also because Jack had told him the secret of a subordinate.
"Today, the people from the Pharmacists Association helped me check my body, as a member of the Edwin family, my body is inherently unable to condense the fighting spirit. Jack said.
"Fighting spirit?" Rod had heard this new word for the first time.
"Yes, the fighting spirit, our Edwin family is martial, and the fighting spirit is the basis for becoming a high-level warrior. "Everyone grows up with a sense of war, like a fist that is thrown out when someone is angry. β
Jack punched the air and continued, "And many ordinary people don't know how to preserve and use this fighting spirit, and outstanding warriors will use and rely on this fighting spirit to strengthen their physical fitness and become excellent fighters." β
After saying that, Jack fell to the ground in a daze, looking at the stars and the moon in the sky, with starlight in his eyes.
Rhodes also fell next to Jack, for a long time, and said, "Young Master, even if you can't cultivate battle spirit, you will definitely be able to become an excellent warrior through other methods." β
"Rod, do you know why I can't gather my fighting spirit?"
"Why. β
Looking at the moon in the sky, the manor's clock tower struck the bell at midnight.
Jack showed his arm, a long black stripe wrapped around it like a snake.
"When I was born, my mother died in childbirth, so my father was very strict with me, hoping that I would inherit the Edwin family. "So I worked hard from a young age, until when I was ten years old, I had a serious illness, and the lines began to appear." β
The lines on Jack's hands shone in the moonlight, as if he was alive. "He started," Jack said.
Suddenly, the muscles of Jack's arm tensed, blood vessels burst out, and dark red blood converged from all sides through the veins to the lines.
"What's wrong with you, what's going on?" Rod was shocked.
"I'm fine, don't come here. Jack pushed Rod away.
Jack gritted his teeth and endured it until his sweat soaked his clothes, he collapsed weakly, and breathed in a lot of air, and his arms slowly returned to normal.
"The people of the Apothecary Association say that this is a sin mark, a curse of divine punishment. Absorb the fighting spirit, the blood qi, until I am devoured by it and become a monster that is neither human nor ghostly. Jack said weakly, "Maybe I'll be killed when it eats away at my reason." β
Rod was already shocked and didn't know what to say, it turned out that the young master of the Edwin family had such an unknown and pitiful experience. He also dreamed of becoming the young master of the Edwin family.
It turns out that everyone has their own weight. Rod suddenly remembered a sentence he had seen in his previous life - everyone in the world is suffering.
Rod suddenly rushed over and hugged Jack, tightly.
"Jack, please forgive me for not calling you young master at this moment, Jack, you must be very uncomfortable in your heart, I know you, I know the pain in your heart. Rod didn't know why he did it all of a sudden, it was just an unprovoked impulse, or sympathy, and Jack of his age suffered far more than he suffered. "Jack, cry out, no one knows about today's events. Everyone has the right to cry, steel will also melt in high temperatures, crying is not weakness, but becoming stronger after venting. β
Jack was startled when he suddenly heard Rod say this, broke free and pushed Rod away, turned his back to him.
"What are you kidding, I'm dignified, I'm dignified Young Master of the Edwin family, what's going on with this, how can it hit me. Jack said tremblingly. "You guy, don't do something inexplicable all of a sudden! I'm a young master. β
Rod wanted to speak and stopped, as if he wanted to say something, and finally swallowed a thousand words, and said in frustration: "Yes, young master." β
"Hey, tonight's events, just you and I know. Jack said, "I'm leaving." β
"I promise no one will know. Master. Rod replied.
Jack left slowly, without looking back, "Hey, Rod, call me Jack in the future!"
οΌοΌοΌ
Rod's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned his head to look at Jack, and replied excitedly, "Okay, young master..... Jack. Okay, Jack. β
In the dark night, under the moonlight, in the huge back garden, two teenagers, one left and one right, Jack on the left shook his clothes, tidied up his collar, and slowly walked away, Rod on the right looked quietly, his eyes were irrepressibly happy, he knew that he came to this other world and had his first friend.
The figures of the two were drawn very long and long in the moonlight......
A crow flew up and passed through the moon, and on the towering attic, a dark shadow took in everything that was happening in the back garden......
Back at the cottage, listening to the insects outside the window, Rhodes couldn't sleep, and before he knew it, he began to think crankily.
Thinking that he had crossed into this other world, instead of the protagonist's life, he also became a dragon Ming, although the treatment is much better now, but who knows what will happen in the future.
Maybe when you suddenly fall into an accident? Be killed by lightning like in the previous life, or be killed by robbers in this life, go to the battlefield and be affected by the flames of war, and die a tragic death, be eaten by monsters?......
Rod shook his head and threw these terrible thoughts out of his mind, he was afraid of death, he didn't want to die.
So the top priority is how to get along in this other world safely and live this life?
Don't seek to be heard by the princes, but only to live in troubled times.
After finding out that he had crossed Jackie Chanming, Rhodes didn't think about escaping, first, he couldn't pass the level guarded by the Edwin family, and secondly, the outside world is not peaceful now.
The Delos Empire has been at war for many years, not to mention the great rivers, forest ruins and other places, there are countless monsters. Even in slightly remote places, there are many homeless bandits. Rhodes knew that for a short period of time, the Edwin family was a refuge for an ordinary person like him.
"Ahh Rod lay on the bed into a big word, "Others are pretending to be 13, invincible, the protagonist, why do I have to worry about survival! TAT, I'm Rhodes if, well, I'm Rhodes like. β
οΌοΌοΌ
"By the way, since I can't be the protagonist, then I find the protagonist and hug the protagonist's thigh, won't I be able to survive safely!?" Rod sat up excitedly.
"But how am I going to find the protagonist, and even if I do, how am I going to hug his thigh?" Rod was in distress again.
Yes, since there is none, then, it would be nice to build one!
Here, there happens to be a ready-made protagonist embryo!
A flash of light flashed through my mind, "So now, what I want to do is to create a world that belongs to meβthe protagonist!"
Rod, with a smile on his lips, seemed to have an idea......
God-making project, start now!
