Chapter Twenty-Three: The Poor Sour Shopkeeper
"What a big house!"
Megumi looked at the building in front of her with admiration and asked, "This is here?" ”
"I bought it."
“…… The evil tyrant. The corners of Megumi's mouth couldn't help twitching.
Wood ignored him, took a closer look at the building, and nodded in satisfaction.
It is a typical European building, the building is divided into two floors, a wide courtyard, and a high wall. The most important thing is that it is located on the outskirts of Axel, and although it is within the confines of the town, there are no buildings around, only green trees.
It is undoubtedly a good place to retire......
The villa had been cleaned and all kinds of daily necessities had been delivered, so Wood paid the money and moved in.
As for Megumi, she didn't stay here for long, and after confirming the route, she went back with the carriage, as if she was preparing to go on a mission with her two newly found teammates.
Wood struggled for a while, then went to the villa baths for a long time to take a shower, and then changed his clothes...... Go to bed!
Halfway through today's teaching, he was picked up by carriage, and Wood didn't bother to run to the Adventurers' Guild.
And at this moment, the voice that conveyed the whole town suddenly rang out.
Probably using magic to increase the volume or something.
"Urgent mission! Urgent mission! Adventurers staying in town, please meet in the guild now! Repeat ......"
Wood, who had just been lying on the bed, frowned slightly, then took out the scroll with the teleportation magic attached to it and asked the Adventurers' Guild about it.
The task of harvesting cabbage?
Looking at the reply, Wood pursed his lips and fell asleep as soon as he was blinded.
And this sleep was most of the day, and when he opened his glasses, it was already late at night.
Of course......
It was impossible for Wood to wake up naturally, but there were some uninvited guests from outside the villa.
"Woo woo woo ......"
An eerie roar was heard, and Wood walked over to the window and looked outside.
I saw that more than 20 figures had appeared outside the wall, or rather...... It can't be called a 'human' shadow anymore.
Although the appearance of these things was that of a human being, the skin exposed outside the tattered clothes was extremely thin, and they were like corpses, dangling around the city walls.
A rich air of death permeated the surroundings unconsciously.
"Zombies?"
Wood wasn't surprised that zombies would appear, although it was a different system, but he was a god like Akua, and it was normal for the undead to instinctively move closer to him for redemption.
"But are there zombies in the town? And so much more. ”
The town is not wild, and the appearance of zombies is already extremely strange, let alone more than twenty.
Is it because of the nearby public cemetery?
Wood thought, but the situation on the outside was changing.
"I said... Don't run around, this place has already been sold, and gathering here will disturb the homeowners! ”
With the sound of voices, an extremely plump woman, who looked to be about twenty years old and had long brown hair, walked briskly towards this direction.
It's just that the dead air on her body is countless times richer than those zombies, and if the dead air on this group of zombies is described as a stream, then the dead air on this woman's body is like an ocean.
"This woman's words, I remember......"
Wood thought about it carefully, and didn't remember the other person's name, but he still remembered that the other party was a lich.
As if sensing something, Wiz looked towards the second floor with some confusion, and when he saw Wood in front of the window, he smiled a little awkwardly: "Sorry for the trouble, I'm the owner of the magic prop shop in town." He was purifying the undead in a nearby public cemetery, but he accidentally woke up the group of guys, and they all ran here for some reason. ”
"Hmm."
Wood nodded, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "If I'm not mistaken, you're good at ice magic, aren't you?" ”
"Huh?"
Wiz was stunned for a moment, and although he didn't understand why Wood was asking, he politely replied, "Yes, sir." ”
"Then as punishment for you to drive away zombies and disturb my rest, you can teach me ice magic."
"Huh?"
Wiz blinked: "Wait, drive away zombies or something......"
"Of course, it's not for you to teach in vain, a million dollars a Friday, or I can help you run a magic item shop, and you only need to spare two or three hours a day to teach me the magic of ice and lich."
Wood didn't talk nonsense, and directly prescribed the conditions, in fact, he had this idea for a long time.
In this novice town, it is very difficult to learn high-level magic, except for Yoyo and Megumi, probably only this woman can teach him high-level magic, although Megumi teaches it very well, but only burst magic can take it.
So it's still necessary to find another teacher.
"Five million or help run a magic item shop?"
Helping with business is not discussed for the time being.
The reward of one million a Friday obviously made Wiz a little tempted, after all, her shop has been in a state of loss, and the free provision of potions in the recent high-level demon incident made her lose money and even couldn't afford to eat.
If only teach ice and lich for two or three hours......
Wiz's face changed, and he looked up in shock: "Eh, eh...... Sir, you... You...... What are you talking about? ”
"Don't be nervous, whatever you are, I'm not interested in running out and talking nonsense."
Wood waved his hand slightly: "Just answer whether to teach me magic or not, if you don't teach me, I'm looking for someone else." ”
Wiz looked at Wood a little strangely, the one who could tell at a glance that she was a lich, this was the first, you must know that even the high priest could not tell that she was a lich.
Well?
How do you feel as if you've seen it somewhere.
"That...... What is your name, sir? ”
"Wood."
Wiz blinked, and then his eyes lit up: "Ah, I remember, you're the Lolita ......"
She didn't finish what was next.
Because the whole night was lit up by golden divine light, the vast divine power emanating from the person by the window, and the pair of cold golden eyes were full of evil energy, making Wiz feel that he would be purified at any time.
"What do you want to say?"
"No... It's nothing ......" Wiz hurriedly shook his head: "Lord Wood, as long as you don't dislike it, I will definitely teach all my magic without a penny." ”
Feeling the heavy pressure around him gradually dissipate, Wiz couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Plop Plop Plop ......
A series of falling sounds sounded, and although Wood didn't use any purification magic, his divine power was not something that ordinary zombies could withstand.
Wood stared at Wiz coldly, and said word by word: "I am the god of sleep, the god of sleep who manages sleep." And I won't let you teach in vain, I'll help you run the store from tomorrow. ”
“……”
Wiz nodded, and Lori ...... Whether it's a sleeping god or a little lich of your own, it's not what you say.
And to help run the store or something, it would be better to give me five million a week for tuition.
……
