Volume 1 The Storm Chapter 22 On the Importance of Erudition
"Monday to Saturday,
The girls were busy embroidering clothes married to a certain man during the day,
Drawing lace with earned gold thread.
The girls shed their covered, shabby costumes at night,
Put on colorful makeup and thin underwear.
The returning adventurers, with saliva in their mouths, pushed open the girls' doors,
Drain all your belongings, in order to reach the clouds of happiness.
The girls happily took the copper coin,
Tired of work,
I can't live this day!
······”
The sun had just risen, and the camp on the battlefield resounded with the voice of a broken rooster. The camp is an interesting place, the most important part is the place where the world tree stands, and every adventurer enters and exits through the crystal under the world tree, whether it is registration or skill selection, the crystal is an indispensable existence, so to speak, all the buildings in the camp have destroyed the world tree and everyone has to fight for their lives to protect the existence. Interestingly, if you think of the camp as a town, if you look at it from the sky, it is not the World Tree in the center, but rather the World Tree in the corner of the camp. In the heart is Angel's Cottage, the whole camp seems to be built around Angel's Cottage, the most popular Wheat Ears Restaurant is only a street away from Angel's Cottage, poor Peter's Happy Hour Tavern can only see the tip of the World Tree from a distance, the people who come are old fritters, rich and young adventurers are gathered in the center.
Singing in the key of C or D minor in place of the crowing rooster sounded in the center of the camp, and the morning of the whole camp began half an hour early. Especially the people who are adventurous during the day and still "adventurous" at night, with anger pushing open the window on the second floor of the street, leftover food, shabby rags, dirty underwear, and even the big sword that they carry with them is thrown out of the window, and the fairly clean street becomes chaotic, what if the big sword is also thrown and smashed into people, Sean complained and picked up the sword, Hoover should have taken this, I didn't expect to earn it outside early in the morning, lucky day.
"Damn, who let the banshee in, what about the guards on duty today, I'm going to complain!"
"Who is it, the terrible sonic power, when did the sonic ability appear!"
"Linna, I don't dare anymore, I don't want to have fun anymore, please let it go!"
······
Sean is a little depressed, these reckless men who don't understand music, how beautiful this song is, is there no one who can appreciate it? In the midst of many scoldings, Sean picked up the big sword and brought a bra bigger than his head by the way, the sword can be sold for money, and the bra can be given to Braunie, too big? It can be changed to a rag, but thrift is one of the few good qualities of Sean.
"That boss, you seem to be out of tune." A weak child's voice came from Sean's pocket, "And you sing at the top of your voice, some of it is as ugly as the dwarves sing." ”
"You know what, it's the latest trend, and the Elven Queen can't even learn this tune. And don't call me boss, call me your majesty. ”
"Okay boss, no problem boss, and Lord Rubick once took us to listen to the song of the elf queen, it is a heavenly sound, boss, you are not as good as the song of Her Majesty the Queen."
With a little shyness, Sean retorted a little unconvinced: "What a heavenly sound, one day I will let that elf queen kneel at my feet and sing conquest, you can listen to it again." ”
"But Boss, that Elf Queen shouldn't exist anymore."
"Then the current elf queen sings about conquest, why don't you believe it? Believe it or not, your boss and me, won't find you a better half? ”
"The boss is the best, the boss is the best in the world."
Looking at the lit match in his hand, Sean was very satisfied with the answer of Rubick's book, sure enough, in life, how can you say that you live a chic and comfortable life without a few doglegs around you.
Even if the unpleasant voice broke the camp's schedule, the human ability to adjust was reflected at this moment, the restaurant opened the door and the heat came out, and the adventurers who had been busy all night pushed open the doors of the girls, and said goodbye to their lovers tonight with a kiss, leaving the girl reluctant to look forward to it, and the adventurer shook his head helplessly while touching the shriveled purse, leaving the disappointed girl waiting for the right person. Monka Joseph glared at Sean with some annoyance, and complained that Sean woke him up from the gentle country, kissed the girl behind him fiercely, put on the iron armor and started the busy day.
"Look who this is, our little man Sean can sing courtship songs too!" The window above was opened, and a light voice like a yellow warbler came. Somewhat confused, Sean looked up, and Angel, a flower in the camp, leaned against the window and smiled happily at him.
With a polite but respectful smile, Sean said, "Oh, my beautiful Angel, if you can wait until I start to develop and still be able to maintain my face, I can talk to you about the seventy-two methods of the lower body technique." “
"Then I'm going to look forward to it, I'm sure it's going to be a good night," Licking her sultry lips and seductive eyes, Angel is worthy of being a flower in the camp.
As she spoke, Angel's door opened, and one of the lucky ones came out.
"Uncle Hoover, why are you here?" Sean was a little surprised, Hoover, the blacksmith who was recognized as the best man in the camp and was said to be working for twenty-five hours a day, actually fell into Angel's boudoir, and even the tavern owner could only be called the second strict wife, is there no man who is clean and self-conscious except for himself and the tavern owner.
Blacksmith Hoover was obviously a little embarrassed, and waved his hand to instruct Sean to be quiet. Sean covered his mouth, strongly condemned Hoover's behavior, and lowered his voice: "You do this, Aunt Elizabeth knows, are you worthy of your aunt?" I've got to tell my aunt. ”
"How much do you want?"
"Fifty silver coins, and this sword, you have to count one gold coin."
"You are robbing, this sword is seventy-five silver coins, I will go to the tavern to give it to you when I go back, don't come to the shop to find me, shut your mouth."
"Deal."
It's really a lucky day, I didn't do anything, I received an income of one gold coin and twenty-five silver coins, and I went to the wild area to mix something, it was better to engage in gossip.
The camp was up and running, and the adventurers who had finished breakfast left the grocery store to start another day of ascension with supplies. Every messenger rushing by on the road looked at Sean with disdain and anger, especially a messenger with a big red crown, who seemed to have a grudge against Sean, could it be that it was the one who roared every morning? Thinking of it, Sean finally confirmed who was the culprit who was the one who made people dreaming every day, according to Sean's idol Makarov Ivanovsky, stirring up dreams is like killing one's father. Revenge may be absent, but hatred never dies.
Looking at the messenger with only a fierce light, Sean finally remembered that he hadn't been promoted for so long and hadn't gotten his own, the messenger was a good thing, it could be used as a backup food during the adventure, and the chicken tasted dry and crispy. Phew, slapped himself, how can the messenger eat, the messenger is the most reliable and good companion.
Despite the insults and hateful glances along the way, Sean returned to the tavern with a successful retreat. Brauney, who was cleaning, was about to say that the tavern was closed in the morning, but when she saw Sean returning from outside, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, threw down her broom and ran towards the backyard of the tavern.
"Really, am I that terrible? There is no smell of blood on my body! Sean muttered, smelling the smell of not having any fishy smell on his body, slightly dissatisfied, did Brauney know what I was going to give her?
"Boss, don't worry, after my spell cleanup, you will definitely not still smell of blood." Rubick said the book of triumphant praise and praise.
"It's just a psychological effect, you don't know much about human beings. What else would you do but clean, could it be that you only learned cleansing by Lord Rubick's side, it's so disappointing to me. Sean was dissatisfied, a magic book that had stayed by the archmage's side for thousands of years, and the only spell that could be used was cleansing, which was really eye-opening.
"Boss, you... You bully people, don't bully books. ”
"Don't call me boss, call me young master."
······
After a while, all the people in the tavern ran out, and Sean closed the book of Rubick and put it in his pocket.
Brauney: "Oh my God! Sean actually got up before noon. ”
Ivan: "Sean, are you sick, my mother said that if you are sick, you have to take medicine, and if you don't take medicine, it should be a terminal illness." ”
Adam: "Merciful God, can you tell me where the real Sean is?" ”
Bane: "The early bird eats the larvae." ”
Jackson: "Shaun, who was an early riser, didn't have anything to eat. ”
Boss: "···· I didn't abuse Sean. ”
The tavern steward rubbed his shiny head wide with his mung bean eyes, a little incredulous that the most sleepy staff in the tavern would get up on time, only rubbing his little hair to ease the excitement.
Sean shrugged helplessly, hugged the tavern members in turn, and handed a pair of underwear to Brauney by the way, and encouraged: "Come on Braunie, I'm sure you'll have a good day to wear this." ”
With that, he ignored Brauny's anger and took breakfast and began his work.
Carefully washing the dishes left over from last night, Sean scrubbed meticulously, did not talk to Adam about color, did not mention that he saw Angel without makeup this morning, Adam is also a fan of Angel, and every Angel painting that is revealed, Adam will treasure it as a baby.
"Sean, someone is looking for you." Brauney came to the kitchen a little upset and informed Sean of the incident.
"I said Braunie, even if you don't like the gift I gave you, or you can't use it, you can change it to a rag, a woman must learn to run a family, otherwise she won't be able to get married."
With a big bag on his head and a scolding Sean, he came to the lobby of the tavern and met the woman he saw for the first time on the battlefield, Ann.
Ann was very anxious, as if she had encountered something very sudden, and when she saw Sean come out, she grabbed Sean's arm and asked, "Sean, have you seen Cindy, Cindy is gone!"
"Calm down, Ann, Cindy is an adult, nothing should happen." Sean tried to calm down the impatient Ann and gently held Ann's hand.
"But Thompson and I searched everywhere and didn't see Cindy, so I really couldn't help but find you." Ann calmed down a little and looked at Sean with anticipation.
Sean was a little confused, not understanding what Ann meant by what she said, "Then what did you come to me for?" If I see Cindy, I'll tell Cindy what you're looking for him, and you have to trust Cindy, he's the commander of your team. ”
"But... But. Ann stopped talking, as if she had made up her mind, "Cindy left a note, saying that she went to see you and had something to discuss with you. ”
"Talk to me? I haven't seen Cindy since I was separated from you yesterday, I don't know why he left that message, I'm sorry, I can only do my best, if I see him, I'll inform him that you're looking for him. If nothing else, I think I should go back to my job, you know, my boss used to be called the Grim Reaper of the battlefield, and it would be miserable if I didn't finish my job. I hope to hear the good news from you soon, and meet Thompson, maybe Thompson has found Cindy. ”
Getting Sean's explanation, Ann reluctantly left the tavern, and I have to say that a woman's sixth sense is really accurate.
"Oh, red-haired girl, the one you said?" Adam gestured to his chest to size, what else could he say, Sean nodded disdainfully.
The tavern was as always, lively at night, and after listening to a bullshit story, Sean put the ale in his hand upside down on the head of the drinker who made up the story, causing the surrounding guests to applaud loudly, and then like a hero, Sean returned to the room.
"When did you show your value?" Sean sat on the bed and said to the Book of Rubick.
The Book of Rubick, floating in the air, drew an arc in the air, turned the pages, the sound of spells came out, and the pages of the white paper gradually showed irregular and distorted words, according to what was promised in the morning, the Book of Rubick will show the spells that Sean can currently learn, plus a secret book of practicing magic.
At tea time, the book of Rubick stopped dancing, and Sean hurriedly took the magic book and couldn't wait to open it. Different from the white paper I saw before, the spelled spell book showed its original appearance, and the words with magic appeared on the white paper, which was beautiful and moving, and people couldn't take their eyes off it. In the middle of the night, Sean closed the enticing magic text and exhaled and stared at the Book of Rubick.
"How? Boss, it's all great magic, the other half you said, are we on the agenda, you know, loneliness is the biggest original sin of the book. Seeing that Sean had finished reading, Rubick hurriedly invited credit.
"Well, good content, judging from the text, it should be real." Sean said with some uncertainty, "These spells are recorded on paper, why do you only have one cleansing spell, is it because you can't see the contents?" ”
"Of course not, Boss. Lord Rubick didn't teach us to read, this text is a word handed down from ancient times, we haven't learned it yet, fortunately the boss knows, and now we can also touch the boss's light. ”
"You really don't know?" Sean's tone became a little heavy.
"I don't know, boss, that cleaning technique was given to us by Lord Rubick after simplification."
Sean stared at the magic book in silence, sighed and resigned, "Well, I don't know either, neither of the two illiterate can read." ”
"Eh~ Boss, then you've been watching it for so long..."
"I'm trying to get to know them, and I'd better make friends."
"Eh~"
"They don't want to be my friends, though, and they don't seem to want to be your friends."
"How so..." Rubick is a little frustrated, he can't come up with a real trick, and it seems that getting a girlfriend is going to be postponed.
"And!"
"What?"
"Don't call me boss, call me a male god, hehehehe·····"
The Book of Rubick, Orz···
If you can't read it, you can't read it, there will always be a day when you can read it, Sean comforted himself. Lying on the bed, remembering the dagger that Cindy stabbed at me, covering his head, good night, the world.
