Chapter 421: The Hourglass Plane (Part I) (4/4)
The town of Haruno
"You're Master Rockhan, the Magician?" Link asked tentatively. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The smile on the old man's face became more and more intense, he squinted a pair of eyes that flashed with essence, and first shook his head: "Young man, don't call me master, my achievements are still a long way from master, and people will laugh at it when they hear it." However, I knew you were a man of manufacturishment as soon as I saw you! How about learning magic with me? ”
Link didn't rush to agree, he spread his hands, looking helpless: "But I don't have any money." ”
Lockhan enthusiastically took Link's hand: "Hey~ What kind of money do you want?" Learn magic with me Rockehan and never ask for money! Come on, come with me, this is your slave, right? Come with me too...... Hiss ~ This is a puppet..... It's very delicate. ”
He pulled Link and walked towards the courtyard gate, and when he reached the courtyard gate, Link suddenly saw a person standing there.
This is a black-haired girl, with fair and clean skin, delicate and small facial features, and a slave collar around her neck, it is not the demon princess Saluvini.
"What is this?" Link's heart thumped. Milda and Rylta also retreated behind Link at once, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Lockham smiled and introduced: "You said her, this is a slave I bought, it's beautiful, isn't it?" Ignore her, I'll give her away in a few moments. ”
As he spoke, the white-bearded magician shouted to the porter: "Ah Fu~Ah Fu~"
After shouting a few times, a middle-aged man with a simple face walked out of the gatehouse, this middle-aged man also wore a slave collar around his neck, he saw Lockhan, bowed and saluted: "Master, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"See this little girl? This is a gift for the High Lord Baal, you take her down and train her carefully! ”
Newly bought slaves can't be used, their personalities are too rough, and they don't know how to serve people, which requires training, especially for gifts for big people, and they must be trained carefully and carefully, and they must not go wrong.
When Ah Fu heard that it was a gift for the Great Lord, he immediately respectfully promised: "Master, you can rest assured, as long as I give the old slave three months, I will keep her as docile as a lamb." ”
"Well, go ahead." Lockham was satisfied.
Ah Fu beckoned to Saluvini, the demon princess was full of grief and indignation, but she didn't dare to resist, and obediently followed him.
The three of Link were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that this was the commander of the Demon Legion who was still majestic a day ago!
Milda and Rylta were even more cold-hearted, they both had slave collars around their necks, couldn't this thing be cracked? Otherwise, how could this demon princess be so tame?
Here, Lockhan turned to Link and said, "Young man, I see that your two slaves have not been trained well, do you want Ah Fu to help you train and train as well?" Ah Fu is a good hand at training slaves. ”
Link hurriedly refused: "No, I'm used to them." ”
"Alright then, come with me, I'll arrange a place for you to stay."
Link hurriedly said, "Sir, can you arrange for me to live with my slaves, they watched me grow up, and I am used to living with them." ”
Lockhan's face was full of kindness: "Tsk~ Of course this is no problem, your slave is your master, and I don't care, come and come, follow me, young man, the accommodation I arranged for you is guaranteed to satisfy you!" ”
He pulled Link and walked out into the yard.
For no reason to be so enthusiastic, it seems that this Lockhan is really short of magic apprentices, and he must be really very picky, but Link is now looking for a backer, stabilize first, and then get to know the world well, so let him pull him into the courtyard.
Milda, Relta, and Nana naturally followed Link.
Along the way, Link found that this old man looked quite old, but his strength was really not small, it was estimated that he was at the level of a level 7 warrior, and he didn't use a magic staff, but like Link, he had a magic sword pinned to his waist.
The aura of this sword is very obscure, and it gives people a sense of unfathomability, it must be a legendary weapon, but the specific enchantment process is very rough, and even a little miserable, it looks like the crappy work of a three-legged cat magician.
Along the way, Link also met many apprentices, who had no enthusiasm at all, and were not even interested in glancing at them, and occasionally someone looked over with a sneer on their faces, as if to say, 'Well, another fool has been tricked into the fire pit by Rockhan.' ’
Lockhan dragged Link to a detached stone house in the corner of the courtyard and said with a smile: "This will be your place from now on, look, are you satisfied?" ”
The stone house has more than 80 square meters, there are two floors up and down, there is a small balcony on the second floor, and there is a flower garden at the door, which is really good, at least the appearance is very beautiful.
"It's beautiful..... But I didn't do anything? Link looked back at the other magicians in the square, and occasionally he saw them all walking into a wooden longhouse, which seemed to be their quarters, and the difference in treatment between the two was wide.
He is not a child, how can he naively believe that a strange and kind old man will be good to him for no reason, this person must have a plan.
Lockhan laughed, pointed to the magic ring on Link's hand, and smiled, "You made this ring yourself, right?" ”
Link nodded.
"Good craftsmanship, very good. In the future, I will provide you with materials and enchantment blueprints, you help me enchant equipment, I will teach you magic, what do you think? The first time he saw Link, he was drawn to the magical equipment on his body.
Whether it's the magic sword at his waist, the ring on his hand, or even the delicate puppet next to him, they all embody a delicate and flawless beauty.
Maybe the magic on these magical equipment is not very superb, but this exquisite appearance is enough to increase the value of the same enchanted equipment by more than 50%.
For Lockhan, as long as you can help him make money, it is a talent, and then there is a good treatment!
As soon as he said this, Link knew his intentions and nodded, "No problem." I just wanted to learn magic from you. ”
"Good, good." Lockhan stroked his beard and laughed, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed like chrysanthemums: "What an ambitious young man." Come on, come on, this is the enchantment blueprint for Tier 1 magic, you see if you can do it. ”
Link took the magic drawings and looked at them, and Milda on the side also curiously wanted to come over and take a few looks, but Lockhan's face sank, and he said with disgust: "No rules, stay away!" ”
"......" Milda's face flushed for the first time when she was scolded like this, but she didn't dare to refute, and bowed her head and stepped aside.
Link couldn't help, he could only continue to look at the drawings.
He found that the so-called first-order magic in Lockhan's mouth, the magic knowledge involved in it is actually very simple, probably only the level of level 4 magic in the Feroman Continent, but the structure of this magic is very cumbersome, in terms of cumbersomeness, even with the level 8 magic, to complete such an enchantment, you need very good patience, and the heart must be very careful, otherwise a mistake may ruin the entire work.
"It shouldn't be that hard to ......," Link said.
"It's not difficult, good~good~ You're really a manufacturable material, hey, young man, what's your name?" The old man was also wonderful, and only then did he ask Link's name.
"I'm Link, this is Mill ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lockhan: "Don't tell me the name of the slave, I can't remember it." How long does it take you to complete such an enchantment? Is two weeks enough? ”
Link's heart moved when he listened: 'With such an enchantment, does it take two weeks for the average in this world??' ’
Previously, Link estimated it would take more than a week, but with the power of the Flawless Dragon, he could stay focused for a long time, and he only needed three days. Now that the other party has given a two-week deadline, Link thought for a while and said, "It won't take that long, 10 days should be about the same." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Lockehan's brows furrowed: "10 days? Young people, it's good to have ideals, but don't be too ambitious. How can I believe you when you say such big things? ”
Link was speechless.
In this way, these two weeks are still estimated to be demanding, and the average speed is definitely much slower than two weeks, Link can only explain stubbornly: "Sir, 10 days is the speed at which I try my best, and it can't last, and I will have to rest for a week to recover after I finish it." My usual rate, about 18 days or so. ”
"Oh, I see, then you don't have to work too hard, just two weeks. Two weeks later, you give me the enchanted equipment, I give you a Tier 1 magic book, and I answer 3 Tier 1 magic questions for you for free. ”
"That's fine." Link nodded.
"Very good, then I won't bother you, oh, this is the key to your house, everything in the house is cleaned up, and there is a special enchantment room, you can start it directly."
Link took the key, and Rockhan turned to leave, and when he saw a slow-walking apprentice on the way, he immediately kicked it over and kicked the apprentice to the ground: "What are you rubbing?" If you don't have the ability, you know that you're lazy, so why don't you get out of here and wash the winter night grass for me! ”
This attitude is the same as before!
Rylta whispered, "Link, are you sure, I feel like if you can't finish it, he'll sweep us away in two weeks." ”
"Of course you are sure, let's go, let's go into the house and show you a closer look at what this circle is all about."
Once inside the house, Link began to check.
He found that he couldn't find any seams in this circle, and he tapped lightly with his fingers, and the sound of 'oh oh oh' was not gold and wood, and if he looked closely, he couldn't find any magic runes on it, as if it was natural.
"It's a strange craft." Link didn't have the slightest clue.
He beckoned to Nana again: "Try it with a dagger." ”
The Severed Dagger can cut off everything, and it shouldn't be a big problem to cut off this copper collar worth 3 gold coins.
Nana used the severed dagger to pry the dwarf Relta's collar first, and just about to exert her strength, Relta suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't don't, stop quickly, it hurts, hiss~ My head hurts, don't pry~ Don't pry." ”
His face turned white.
Nana had no choice but to withdraw the dagger.
Relta breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's terrible, I just felt like my soul was going to break, whew~"
"Then it seems that this thing can't be broken by brute force, no wonder the demon commander looks like a kitten after wearing this. I'll look into it again. ”
Link's face was full of self-reproach, if only he hadn't put this on them in the first place.
Milda reassured: "It's not your fault, in this world, we can't even survive without wearing this thing." ”
Relta also said: "Master Link, there will always be a way, don't worry. ”
Link could only nod his head, and he opened the Encyclopedia of Aragu, which he had bought earlier, ready to find out what was going on.
At this moment, there was a slight flash of light in his vision, which was the information of the game system.
Along the way, the game system has been silent, but now it has appeared, and a line of information is displayed in the Link Vision.
