Chapter 735: Preparing for Departure
I said, "Are you angry?" ”
"Of course angry!" The half-demon child said, "It's all a lie! Saying that Santas are equal for all is a lie to children! Adults know that without the Mage Tower, we wouldn't be able to survive at all! They never looked down on us! ”
The red light in his eyes was actually not bright, like a faint charcoal fire that was about to be extinguished, but at this time, the charcoal fire was actually more tenacious than the flames, and a slight gust of wind could make the fire ignite again......
I said, "So, your dream is to be a magician's assistant?" ”
The half-demon child was a little surprised and said, "How do you know?" ”
"You said it yourself," I said, "just last time, and besides, you said you picked up the stone axe in the place where the magicians were fighting. ”
"You're really good," said the half-demon child, "and no minotaur I've ever met has such a good memory as you." ”
I smiled and shook my head: "You're older than them, why are you still playing with them?" Shouldn't you find something to do? ”
The half-demon child said, "Because my father works in your shop, the other half-demon children don't play with me anymore." ”
I said, "But your dad needs this job." ”
The half-demon child said, "I know, and I don't blame you. ”
I said, "Look, the half-demons don't play with you, and the other kids don't play with you, so I'll find something for you to do." ”
The half-demon child suddenly became interested: "Okay! ”
I said, "Do you know that there is a female werewolf who specializes in teaching people martial arts?" ”
The half-demon child said: "I know, it's just over the southwest gate, but very few people go to study, they all say that the good people don't need to study, and the bad people can't afford to pay the tuition." ”
I said, "You go to her to learn martial arts, and you won't be charged tuition." ”
I thought that the half-demon child would be overjoyed, but I didn't expect him to shake his head and say, "No, I want to learn to become a magician's assistant, martial arts or something, no matter how powerful it is, it is not as powerful as a magician." ”
I was a little surprised, but I wasn't too surprised, and said directly: "Don't forget, you are a half-blood, different from the race of the main plane, and when you learn powerful martial arts, it is very likely that you will awaken into a powerful magician." ”
"Really?" The half-demon child was half-convinced, but the red light in his eyes flickered excitedly.
I condensed a small flame on my fingertips and said, "I'm a magician myself, am I going to lie to you?" ”
The half-demon was suddenly stunned: "You, aren't you a warrior?" ”
I said, "Who said that?" ”
"Tsk!" The Tyrannosaurus rex also spewed a small flame very cooperatively.
The half-demon child was startled, but he also believed me completely, and said in a loud voice: "I learn what I learn, well, as long as I don't pay money, I am willing to learn martial arts!" ”
I said, "Let's go, not only will I not need money, but I will also provide you with food and drink for free, and if you want, pay you for your work." ”
The half-demon kid was even more excited, but quickly calmed down.
"Why?" He said a little down, "Why are you helping us?" ”
It can be seen that not only himself, but also his father, and other half-demons, although there is no fear of their lives here, they can't really feel the equality between races, even if the orcs and human goblins get along equally, they still retain their rejection of this kind of heterogeneous creature with evil blood.
I looked at his expectant eyes and said, "Because I am a magician, I know what kind of people the mage tower needs, and I also know that you don't want to be looked down upon by them, so I give you this opportunity, and when you become stronger, you will be able to get their respect, of course, if you look down on them after you become stronger, I will be very disappointed in you." ”
The half-demon child seemed to hesitate.
I know that he must be thinking in his heart to repair or take revenge on those who look down on him after becoming stronger, in fact, this is human nature, and he doubts my motives, which shows that he has enough thinking ability and will weigh the pros and cons by himself, so I said it more directly, and I am not afraid that he will not agree.
Sure enough, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, I promise you!" ”
I said, "Then let's go, read, what's your name?" ”
"Doro!" The half-demon child said, "This is the name my mother gave. ”
I vaguely remembered that his mother was dead, so I didn't say much and walked with him to the southwest gate.
I didn't go to the food house in another world, after all, I asked Taling to convey everything that should be explained, Tia has now adapted to the identity of the proprietress now, Monica is her bodyguard and assistant, she is very competent, the original special event is still going on, and there are people deliberately waiting to get a good number.
The half-breed clerks are wearing Earth costumes, but I think that when they wear them, they actually give people the misconception that this is the clothing of the servants of the handyman, and it is even more difficult to promote the Earth costumes.
However, Leo had already prepared, and the clothes worn by the clerks were also worn by service workers on the earth, and the clothes suitable for ordinary civilians would have to wait for a few months for the new cotton to mature.
However, an interesting accident left Leo depressed - the original shops in the market area also learned how to make Chinese food, and sold it cheaper...... Although these plagiarized imitations do not look very good at workmanship and are estimated to have a much worse taste, they are very cheap in price and are welcomed by many poor residents.
Leo said with some disappointment: "There is such a thing as a cottage everywhere!" ”
I said, "There is no intellectual property protection here. ”
Leo said: "Even you know about intellectual property. ”
I said, "It's not like you're talking there all day...... To reach that level of rule of law, it will take hundreds of years, right? ”
There is one other thing that Leo is not in a hurry about, and that is the newspaper.
Children are playing acting games, such as King Arthur and the Sword in the Ice, which is one of the cheapest pictorial magazines in the newspaper, and the purpose of this newspaper is to attract people's attention through some painted stories, and then add some simple words to subtly teach people to read.
Literacy education is also an extremely important but slow-moving process on the planet, and the results are clear.
In Santas, the inhabitants have barely reached the level of food and clothing, and learning a little knowledge appropriately will only play a role in improving the literacy rate, and it will take at least ten years of accumulation to really be effective, but according to Leo's plan, when we seize control of the Mage Tower, we can enforce the education plan, and the time can be advanced by several years.
As for the implementation of the seizure plan, he is still tinkering with it, and I am not fully involved in it.
In other words, we went out this time to find an opportunity to verify the theory of "Aether and Nian Power", which is also part of the plan.
According to Leo's words: "Although this plan is difficult, it is not as good as the space program and the moon landing program, which can only be regarded as a training ......."
The low-end pictorial seems to have a good spread effect, even the vendors who set up stalls on the street, when they are idle, they will open the pictorial and take a look at it with relish, there is a special bulletin board on the street, except for some important notices, the most attractive is the pictorial.
The other two more high-end newspapers are rarely seen, and are only used by adventurers or people with relatively higher status in the city.
However, new forms of paper have taken root here – even if they are used as a low-end alternative, while the original animal skin paper is still expensive but there is a market.
Walking through the lively neighborhood, we came to the less lively but also popular Southwest Gate neighborhood.
The werewolf Gillian's martial arts school is right in an inconspicuous corner.
To be honest, I'm not optimistic about it myself, after all, there are very few warrior monks among the adventurers, and most of them want to join the adventurer industry, all of them are learning pure warrior skills, after all, swords, axes, hammers, shields, bows, arrows, and daggers are the mainstream, and those adventurers who use rare weapons are almost all passed down from master to apprentice, so there are several warrior schools. It is said that it is a school, that is, a door, a small workshop in the yard, teaching some simple fists and kicks and weapon basics, and it is more to see if personal talent can be awakened.
Therefore, Gillian's martial arts school also hung a sign, but almost no one came.
Speaking of which, I was a little impulsive at the beginning.
However, Leo can see it: "Purely according to the market, there is no competitiveness, but to open up sales, it still needs some marketing methods." ”
"Here we go again......" I remembered the day the Otherworldly Food House opened, and I knew he was going to play tricks, "What's your new idea?" ”
Leo's answer was very simple and direct: "Kick the hall, take all the martial arts halls around you and let them see the power of the warrior monks, and there will be a source of life!" ”
I said, "With Gillian's strength, it's a middling level here at most, so what kind of cheating do you think of?" ”
Leo said: "Well, reasonable opening is good marketing, I already have a plan!" ”
I know there's something to do again.
Gillian sat in the middle of the open storefront, her expression calm.
Originally, she was a little disheartened after the death of the Kutang monk, but after coming here, she also opened this martial arts room with my financial support, and she also has the support of Tia on this side of life, and she is simply like an old man in the village......
"It's a ...... of enjoyment," said Leo, "and if it is a temple, she will probably have to eat and meditate here until she dies...... This is not good, we have to create some performance for our gang! ”
"We're not a gang, don't say it so ugly." I said as I stepped inside.
The half-demon Kokudoro followed me carefully.
Gillian had seen me earlier, but it wasn't until I entered the door that I said hello faintly, "You're here?" ”
