Beta put away the white paper on the table, then shook her head and said, "As I said before, the World Tree doesn't fall asleep so quickly, and even if we go back now, there is no way to save Alice. Unless a demigod powerhouse comes to help us, no one can resist the spiritual attack of the World Tree. ”

Kyle continued to ask, "So what are your plans?" ”

"I just got a lot of useful information from the caliphate." Beta Shuai had a dark smile on his face: "Although a gold coin is very expensive, compared to the news given by the old scholar, I feel that I have made a lot of money." ”

"Teacher, what do you think again?" After getting along for the past few years, Kyle also knows his character as a teacher, people are indeed very kind, but if something good happens, he will not be with him casually.

Beta looked at the drifting snow outside the window and said, "There is no temple of light here, only the so-called Zoroastrianism, I think we can try to promote our Wealth Cult here, what do you think?" ”

Kyle shrugged: "You can just decide this kind of thing, teacher, anyway, I'm not very good at thinking about things, I'll do whatever you ask me to do." ”

Kyle isn't really stupid, it's just that he knows that he is still young, whether it is doing things or thinking about things, he is not as careful as his teacher, instead of talking nonsense and saying more mistakes, it is better to watch quietly from the sidelines and learn the teacher's way of doing things, for example, in the elven forest, the teacher's arrangement methods are worth learning from in his opinion.

Beta took out a blank piece of paper again, scribbled on it for a while, and then drew a large circle on one of the lines: "Let's take this step first." ”

After about a dozen minutes, the caliph returned to his small home, which had been replaced with a few less tiles.

The sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren, huddled in the house, snuggled up for warmth, and when they saw the caliph returning, they all looked at them with hope, and they knew not long ago that the caliph had been invited by a nobleman, and now that he had returned, had they been rewarded enough?

The caliph didn't say anything, he just opened his clenched fist, and the light of the gold coin was dazzling in the darkness.

Everyone in the room jumped up, they no longer felt the cold, and everyone's eyes only had the glittering gold coin.

Warm clothes, steaming food, and hope for the future...... It's all in this gold coin.

Just as the caliph returned home, the lord of the city, Roderick, received the news. Ordinary city lords are not too young, but Roderick is an exception, he is only sixteen years old.

Roderick himself had no enmity with the caliph, but the previous city lord, that is, his father, did not like the caliphate, so it was normal for him, as a son, to continue to help his deceased father suppress people he didn't like.

The steward of the castle stooped down and told what he had heard: "The caliph has received a gold coin. That magician was generous. ”

Roderick's face was a little helpless: "Let the caliph survive another winter, seeing that his family is about to run out of food, and no one dares to borrow money and send food to him, I didn't expect that another magician from another place came, this old immortal luck is really good." ”

The butler showed a gloomy smile: "Young Master, do you want me to send someone to snatch that gold coin?" ”

Roderick shook his head: "No need, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, it is simple to rob Roderick's gold coins, but this is a matter of the face of the magician, what he gave, we snatched it away without making a sound, in case he feels embarrassed, he still must not be angry with us." It is not worth offending a spellcaster for the sake of a caliphate. ”

The butler was a little unwilling: "That hard-won arrangement, it looks like the caliph is about to be killed, which makes him escape again, and he always feels uncomfortable." ”

Roderick's slightly green face showed a slight sly smile: "It doesn't matter, what if I can survive this winter, I'm still young, one winter plan hasn't been completed, I'll wait for the next winter, he can't go, he can only stay in my territory, waiting for me to slowly consume him." ”

The head of the house sighed: "The old dog's life is very good." ”

At this time, there was a knock at the door, and the butler straightened up, opened the door, and found that it was the soldier in charge of guarding the castle.

"The city lord, and the old butler, there is a spellcaster outside, saying that he wants to see you."

Roderick and the butler looked at each other for a long time before Roderick coughed and said, "Please come up." ”

In the second-floor living room, Roderick met the visitor, a handsome magician with bright blonde hair.

"Such a young city lord?" Beta was also surprised when he saw Roderick, generally speaking, most of the city lords are middle-aged, after all, they must have a certain amount of knowledge and ability before they can sit firmly in the position of the city lord, and the most important reason is that generally when the previous old lord leaves office, or dies, most of the successors are already middle-aged.

Those who can become city lords at a young age are mostly due to the old lord's accident, and a few are young successors who seize power.

The city lord in front of him is too young, and he doesn't think it's too young to describe it, thinking that it's probably because of something happened to the previous lord that he took the throne.

"It doesn't matter if you're young or not, I'm the lord of this city, and for at least fifty years, this city will be mine."

The young lord looked aggressive, but Beta didn't care, he sat down and smiled, "I only came to this city today, and then I asked a scholar about the situation nearby......

"The old dog of the caliph, I will not take his life for the time being, for the sake of your Excellency." Roderick interrupted Beta's words: "You don't have to come to me to intercede for an old immortal. ”

Beta was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly: "I didn't know that he offended His Excellency the City Lord, and I didn't come for him. ”

"So, you're not going to save his life."

Beta shook his head: "If I had known in advance that he had offended the city lord, I would naturally not have protected him." But now I gave him a gold coin and talked to him for almost three hours...... If someone wants to kill him at this time, of course I have to save it, anyway, I am also a spell caster, and I also want to save face. ”

When Roderick heard this, he was very satisfied, the other party was neither humble nor arrogant, and he spoke in an orderly manner, and he listened very convincingly.

"In that case, then spare that old dog one more time." Roderick waved his hand vigorously: "Your Excellency is here this time, I don't know if there is something that you need my help with?" ”
