Chapter 25: The Scrivener-1
In the Kingdom of Heaven, for a long time, it was natural for the Terrans to be slaves, and no Terrans had ever fought or even committed suicide to get rid of slavery. There are four types of races in the kingdom of heaven: the gods, the demons, the aliens, and the human race, the human race is the weakest race, and in the heavenly kingdom where the status is divided by the strength of the gods and demons, the human race is a slave, and it becomes inevitable. The Terrans' slave status to themselves has become habitual and submissive over the years.
Wen Ying's suicide immediately spread in Castle Black. The slaves and attendants were talking. Especially the slaves, they have some admiration for Wen Ying's rather than being a slave. Grand Duke Ivan did not severely punish Wen Ying, and everyone wondered: Did Wen Ying finally deny loyalty? Is it a slave?
Wen Ying was lying on the bed, feeling extremely weak, and was about to get a good night's sleep, but heard two knocks on the door. The door opened, and there were two manservants, and the old man.
Wen Ying guessed that the old man had a high status in the black castle, and she didn't know the purpose of the old man's coming, so Wen Ying decided to brake quietly, so she still lay on the bed.
The two male servants only stood at the door, and did not enter the room, and the old man walked into the room alone, walked to the bed, and said with a pleasant face: "You get up and clean up, and live in Castle Black today." Starting tomorrow, you will go to the study to work as a bookmaid. ”
"Scholar? Is it a slave? Wen Ying got up from the bed.
"No, the squire is not a slave." The old man smiled, and then he lowered his voice and said softly, "You are very smart." ”
Wen Ying was stunned for a moment, and pretended to have an innocent expression: "Smart? Grandpa, you say I'm smart? What does that mean? ”
The old man glanced at Wen Ying meaningfully, smiled and did not answer, and turned to leave.
The old man walked to the door, but Wen Ying called: "Old man, I've seen you several times in the past few days, how do you call you?" ”
The old man smiled back, but still did not answer.
The tone of the square-faced manservant's speech to Wen Ying had changed now, and he was no longer as casual as before, but said seriously: "This is the wooden butler of Castle Black. When Mu Bai was far away, the square-faced manservant continued: "The wooden butler manages all the affairs of the Black Castle, and all the attendants and slaves are managed by the wooden butler. ”
"The butler looks quite old." Wen Ying said.
The square-faced manservant replied, "The wooden butler is more than five hundred years old, and he has been the steward of Castle Black for more than three hundred years. ”
"What? More than 500 years old? Wen Ying was stunned and blurted out.
"Five hundred and sixty-eight years old." The square-faced manservant emphasized, "The bookkeeper, please get up, the wooden butler commands, and I will accompany the bookkeeper to Castle Black now." It was a place where slaves lived, and the squires lived in Castle Black. ”
Seeing the respectful attitude of the square-faced manservant, Wen Ying was overjoyed and jumped out of bed.
Asked all the way, I learned that among the four types of races in the kingdom of heaven, the lifespan of the Protoss can reach 10,000 years, and the stronger the divine power of the Protoss, the longer the survival time, and it is said that the strongest person in the Protoss, the Heavenly Father, is an eternal existence. The lifespan of the demons is also thousands of years. The lifespan of the alien race varies, ranging from twenty or thirty years to a hundred years. The lifespan of the human race is about seventy or eighty years.
The appearance of the Protoss changes extremely slowly, and the appearance of the Protoss Chitose is similar to that of the Terran at the age of sixteen or seventeen. The divine power possessed by the Protoss can maintain its appearance unchanged, as powerful as Grand Duke Ivan, although he is more than six thousand years old, his appearance is the same as that of the Terran Race, thirty-five or sixteen years old.
The demon race is similar to the god race, and the appearance of the demon race changes extremely slowly, and the appearance of a hundred-year-old demon looks no different from that of a ten-year-old human race. Mu Bai is more than 500 years old, and it looks like the Terran is in his 60s. Those who have strong magic power among the demons can rely on magic to maintain their appearance. For example, the elders of the Presbyterian Church, relying on powerful magical power, although they are already six or seven hundred years old, they look like a human race in their thirties and forties.
Listening to the square-faced manservant's explanation, Wen Ying was amazed. The only thing that made Wen Ying feel normal was the Terran of Heaven. In fact, the daily time of the heavenly kingdom is longer than the daily time of the earth, and the lifespan of the heavenly human race is still longer than that of the human race on earth.
Mu Bai pondered as he walked, and he felt that Grand Duke Ivan treated Wen Ying differently from other slaves. Although she was whipped every day for the past few days until she passed out, he arranged for the doctor to use purple carson ointment to heal her. Today, Wen Ying was forced to die, and Grand Duke Ivan arranged for her to be a scholar. Even he guessed that this was Wen Ying's trick, how could Grand Duke Ivan not know? Mu Bai also admired Wen Ying's boldness and carefulness.
The scholar, that is, the study attendant, is one of the three types of attendants of the Grand Duke of Ivan, and the scholar has always been a member of the wood tribe, and the human race has never been a scholar of the Black Castle. The Holy Messenger of the Light Source has been determined to be Alice, Wen Ying's original identity is just a slave, why should Grand Duke Ivan be so special to Wen Ying? Is it because she is from the same planet as Alice? Or is there something else?
As one of the oldest attendants in Castle Black, Mu Bai has been in Castle Black for more than 500 years, and he is thoughtful and thoughtful. Seeing Grand Duke Ivan's attitude towards Wen Ying, Mu Bai thought that he would have to take special care of Wen Ying in the future.
Wen Ying returned to Castle Black with the square-faced manservant, passed by the room where she had "confessed loyalty" before, and continued to walk forward, and was taken to a rectangular black palace. The palace is much lower in height compared to other black palaces.
There was a young man standing at the entrance of the palace, a set of camel-colored clothes and pants, covered with a sleeveless knee-length robe of the same color, ten years old, fair skin, short brown hair, slender purple pupils and eyes, ruddy lips, slightly pointed chin, his face was calm, but he was a little clever. The square-faced manservant bowed slightly at the young man, nodded his head, and turned to leave.
"My name is Mu Ear Hengyu, and I am also the attendant of the study, I will take you to your room now. You come with me. Fungus Hengyu had a friendly smile on his face.
"Castle Black is so big, how many palaces are there?" Wen Ying said curiously, "The buildings of Castle Black are all black. The palaces are all made of black crystal? ”
"There are thirteen palaces in the Black Castle, all of which are made of crystal stone. Except for the four palaces where the squires lived, the remaining nine palaces had their own uses. "Fungus Hengyu said.
"Grand Duke Ivan is really rich. Thirteen palaces, it seems that there are a lot of people in the castle. Wen Ying sighed.
Seeing Wen Ying's embarrassed expression, Mu Er Hengyu couldn't help but smile and said, "In the Black Castle, only Grand Duke Ivan is the Protoss, and the rest are attendants. The slaves lived outside the castle. ”
"Ahh Wen Ying's mouth opened wide. "There is only one Protoss in Grand Duke Ivan! Nine palaces, he used it alone, what a waste. ”
Mu Er Hengyu smiled: "There are some things, you will naturally know in the future." ”
Wen Ying stepped forward, and when she saw his look that I won't tell you, she probably asked a taboo question, so she changed the topic, "My name is Wen Ying, your name is too long, can I call you fungus?" ”
"Why don't you call it Hengyu and call it fungus?" Fungus Hengyu asked curiously.
Wen Ying had a malicious smile on her face: "I think the fungus sounds better than Hengyu." In my home, which is the earth, fungus is a kind of food, and I love to eat it. I wonder if there is heaven or not? After saying that, Wen Ying couldn't help laughing.
Fungus Hengyu didn't mind, he said: "Fungus is my name, my surname is Hengyu, I come from the Hengyu family in the Mu clan." The people of the demon clan, the first name comes first, the surname comes last, and the surname is the same as the family name. I know your name is Wen Ying. ”
"I'm just a slave, and it's rare that you know my name." Wen Ying suddenly thought of Alice, and was immediately deflated.
Mu Er said: "You burned Solomon's line, with a glass of water to find out of the maze diagram there is no way out, to the black castle, in four days, from a slave to a squire." Mu Er stopped and looked at Wen Ying very seriously, with a strange look in his eyes.
Wen Ying was uncomfortable by the fungus, and said unhappily: "Why are you looking at me like this?" Do I have something on my face? ”
"No, I'm just weird, looking at you, you don't look like a smart woman." Mu Er shook his head, his tone was a little puzzled, and the words he said made Wen Ying angry.
"You're --。" Wen Ying raised her hand and poked her fingers at the forehead of the fungus, "A dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" ”
