......

After dinner, Thundercloud returned to the arena, by which time it was completely dark.

He walked around the arena, he wanted to see if the ground was intact, and if there was any damage, it had to be repaired before he could go to sleep.

But strangely, the ground of the arena is very flat, and there are no traces of fighting.

He didn't think much about it, and was about to return to his lodgings when a figure suddenly appeared in the west stand, which really startled him in the dark night.

If you look closely, it turns out to be Shrek. Maybe it was because he didn't get paid, so he slept here. The stands here are relatively shady, and it is a good place to enjoy the shade.

Lei Yun sat down beside him: "Yo, haven't you gone back yet? That's right, this is today's salary, you collect it first." ”

Shrek took a silver coin from his hand and said honestly: "I'm used to sleeping outside, sometimes when I'm tired from work, I just find a random place to take a nap, it's quite cool here, so I want to sleep here for a night." ”

Lei Yun thought to himself, this guy would be embarrassed? He was obviously waiting for wages here, but he said it so nicely. So he said, "I heard that a shadow eater has recently come to the city, and it's not safe at night, so it's better not to sleep outside." The same is true for those who receive their wages the next day. ”

Shrek was very stubborn: "My magic level is not bad, so I'm not afraid of what kind of shadow eater it is." ”

Thundercloud casually asked, "Which kind of magic are you good at?"

Shrek said honestly: "I learned alchemy, which is a type of earth magic. ”

Lei Yun was startled, "Control...... Alchemy?"

I remember reading in an old magic book that this kind of magic is very powerful, and people with this kind of talent are not more than one in a thousand among magicians, and the damage they cause is very terrible.

didn't expect that this kind of talent would appear in such a simple person.

Of course, this does not mean that this magic is truly invincible, and any magic has its limitations. Thundercloud thought for a moment and said, "Your magic doesn't seem to have any effect on the Shadow Eater, so it's better to be safe." ”

"It's okay, I sleep outside all year round and I'm never afraid of these things. ”

This is also true, many wandering magicians, they often sleep on rugged mountain roads, if there is no ability to protect themselves, I am afraid that people in this profession will die.

Those so-called magical creatures are just a threat to ordinary people. The people in this academy are all magicians, so they won't be so easy to get hit. I wonder if the curfew imposed by the academy this time is just to raise everyone's vigilance, right?

Thinking of this, Lei Yun changed the topic and said, "You should be used to this place now, right?"

Shrek nodded honestly: "Don't worry, I'm very adaptable." ”

Thundercloud lazily leaned back on the stone chair in the back, then put his feet on the seat in front of him again: "I've felt a lot easier since you came. I wonder if I'll get lazy in the future?

"I think it's very easy here!"

Lei Yun said embarrassedly, "Really? You're still amazing!" After a pause, he said again: "By the way, did anything special happen in the arena today?"

"There's nothing noteworthy either. It was Miss Ruri and her fiancé who had visited, and they had stayed here for a long time and watched several magical battles. ”

Thunderclouds were speechless for a while. I wanted to say something more, but I couldn't find a topic......

Shrek said with reverence: "Miss Liuli is really good, and it is difficult to find an employer like her." I'd stay here forever if I could. ”

Thundercloud yawned and said, "You're loyal to her." ”

Her fiancé is also very powerful, and today he directly challenged Anthony, who was in sixth place, but that Anthony directly admitted defeat and gave up his ranking without trying a single move. ”

"Hey, hey, really?"

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, you can look at the current ranking changes. ”

Lei Yun said embarrassedly: "Didn't you just say that nothing happened here?"

Shrek said honestly: "I don't think these things really matter. ”

"Well, you're right. ”

Shrek added another sentence next to him: "I just think it's funny, Zhuo Shu'an just went down to challenge, Miss Liuli sneaked away, and when her fiancé came back, she looked for her everywhere, but she couldn't find her." Her fiancé is quite cute, and I'm sure they'll be happy together. ”

Lei Yun's face suddenly turned black: "Ahem, cough, cough...... Actually, you should ask Ruri if that guy is her fiancé. Don't take other people's word for it, that's my advice. ”

"Huh?"

Shrek was stunned......

Lei Yun stretched and said, "I'm a little sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Are you sleepy? Okay, I'll sit down a little longer. ”

When Thundercloud returned to his room, he found a cute thing curled up in his bed, looking like he was sleeping soundly.

......

The next morning, when Thundercloud passed by the administration office with his broom, he saw the door open. He looked inside and saw that Dunber had returned, sitting in his chair with a cigar in his mouth and squinting at a letter he was reading.

Lei Yun was about to retract his head, but Deng Bai had already seen him: "What are you doing standing outside? Come in!"

Thunderclouds obediently came to him.

Deng Zexi asked, "Did anything happen in the arena during my absence?"

Lei Yun always felt that he had heard this sentence somewhere, and he hurriedly said, "There is nothing important." It's just that some time ago, I recruited a member who swept the floor, do you want to call him to show you?"

Deng Zexi said disapprovingly: "No need, I believe in your vision." As he spoke, he pointed to the sofa opposite and said, "You sit down first!"

I don't know why, Lei Yun felt a little weak in front of him, maybe because Ruri was his niece.

Lei Yun sat down across from him, took out a money bag casually, put it on the table, and said, "This is the rest of the salary, and nine silver coins." ”

Deng Zexi didn't even raise his eyelids, and said, "You can use it first." ”

"Huh?"

Nine silver coins is a drop in the bucket for Deng Zexi, and a person of his status doesn't want to bend down to pick it up even if he sees money on the ground.

But these nine silver coins are of great significance to Thundercloud. He was short of money now, and nine silver coins should be enough for him to buy a pair of shoes. Otherwise, he would not have been able to practice the Rapid Walking Technique during this time.

He was not polite, and after saying thank you, he took the silver coin back.
