Chapter 1096: The New Kid (4)
"And?" The cat man was stunned.
"But I have one condition." I say.
"Tell me about it." Cat Man said.
"Stay, it's here," I said, "you are needed here." β
"I've already lost, there's no point in staying." The cat people are a little depressed.
"What, feel ashamed to lose to a woman?" I say.
"No," said the cat man, "I just want to make a name for myself, otherwise I won't leave the grassland, there are too many restrictions over there, bullying people, and you ...... on your side."
"Well," said Gillian, "you can join at any time, and there's a place for you here, how about it?" β
"It's dangerous in the swamp outside." Alcatel interjected with a laugh.
"Yes, yes!" Valkirov followed.
"Then again, you need a few more seats on your side." I said to Gillian.
"How?" Gillian asked.
"There are a few more ...... in the antechamber," I said.
"It's all a shelter for exiles." Leo smiled.
"Okay," Gillian waved her hand indifferently, "It's a big deal to merge with the two next ......"
"It's better to be fair and voluntary." I say.
"Anyway, it's a lot of money...... Doro whispered.
I was stunned for a moment.
"Anyway, you don't feel sorry for spending money, do you?" Gillian smiled faintly.
"It has to be spent meaningfully, doesn't it?" I smiled wryly.
"I've heard that you have the potential to be the successor to the Mage Tower, right?" Gillian lowered her voice suddenly.
This time I was a little surprised: "What? Is this news out? β
"Judging by your expression, it should be true." Gillian said.
"Didn't you never care about that?" I say.
"It's okay not to care," said Gillian, "and there used to be people challenging me, but now it's getting less and less, not because I'm not improving, it's because they know you're the boss here." β
"So, should I come less in the future?" I say.
"It's too late," said Gillian, "and even if you don't come again, no one will dare to challenge you, unless you're as new as they are......"
The cat man suddenly looked regretful.
"And what do you say?" I asked the cat people.
"I'm still, decided to go out ......" the cat man had already begun to hesitate, "I'll see if I can ...... when the time comes."
"I've said I'll leave a place for you." Gillian said.
Cat people are relieved.
"After talking for a long time, what's your name?" I say.
"My name is Jack!" Cat Man said.
"I'm Sloe." The Gnoll said.
"I, my name is Fack." The kobold said.
"Poofha!" Leo hilarious.
I knew that there was a country on the planet called "Czechoslovakia" that later became two, but I didn't expect them to be three people......
"I know a magician named Jack," I said, "but what about your title?" β
"Don't do it!" The cat man waved his hand, "We're going to make a name for ourselves here." β
"Be ambitious," I said, "and I wish you all the best." β
"So, what about the money?" Cat Man said.
"How dare I ask for it." Gillian said that Jack the cat man was worried again.
I reached out and pulled out the pocket of my clothes, but I really didn't have any money, but I took out Leo's imitation of the black gold card.
"It's been a long time since I've spent money," I smiled embarrassedly, "Well, lately, I've been doing a lot of business, and I don't touch money." As he spoke, he took out five gold coins from the Sumeru bracelet and handed them to Jack, the cat man: "That's all for the time being, you go on an adventure first, and if you have difficulties, come to Gillian." β
Jack the cat man took the money, stood up, and said, "So, let's go?" β
"Goodbye." I say.
The three of them cautiously walked out.
"What about the other people you're talking about?" Gillian asked.
"I'll call them." Doro went out very cleverly.
Soon, the six of Sainin came in.
Seeing humans, Gillian and the others were a little surprised.
"Humans?" Valkirov muttered.
"Magician?" Gillian was a little confused.
"Can you arrange a stay here for the time being?" I said, "Their strength is much stronger than that of Jacks Lofak, and they are just one foothold away, and they will enter the Mage Tower in the future." β
"It's not impossible to turn it into a hotel," said Gillian, "and teach martial arts while opening a hotel, and apprentices can do free chores." β
"Good." I say.
"Where is it?" Gillian asked.
I said, "Your mindset has changed, and that's good." β
"I don't feel like I've changed." Gillian said.
"You don't notice it yourself," I said, "but it's all good." β
"Say whatever you want." Gillian said.
"Come, get acquainted," I said, "this is Gillian, the headmaster and instructor of the martial arts school, and this is the magician Senin. "Ranwen.com
The two nodded politely, but Gillian's gaze remained fixed on the five orcs.
"Let's talk slowly, don't be inhibited." I stood up, "I have something else to do." β
"Go ahead," said Gillian, "though I don't know what you're up to. β
"Walk slowly!" Sainin was very respectful.
I ignored them and walked away.
The students in the front hall were still practicing, but they were visibly absent-minded.
As I left, they had just finished a practice session and were about to eavesdrop inside.
"Isn't it okay to walk away like this?" Leo said.
"Aren't you watching?" I say.
"What about you?" Leo said.
"Just take a look." I say.
"What the hell are you doing?" Leo asked.
"Wait a minute." I pulled out the mechanical watch.
"Oh!" Leo understood.
I walked into an unobtrusive alley, changed into a leather armor that wasn't very conspicuous, pretended to be an ordinary adventurer, and walked out again.
Of course, the Orderlies will recognize me, but if I don't keep quiet, they won't come up on their own.
I wandered the streets, collecting people's gossip, rhetoric, and trivial life, and feeling their lives.
For them, today is also an ordinary day, and there is no essential change from the past three months, or even the past six months.
However, some small changes eventually became the talk of the town.
"Where are you going to eat today?"
"In the old place, they can also cook new dishes from the food house, and it is twenty copper coins cheaper...... What about you, do you still eat hot pot? β
"The hot pot is so spicy, I can't stand it, but it's really enjoyable, it's really confusing."
"You're going to say it's tangled!"
"I just learned, what prince adventures, save the queen first or save my fiancΓ©e first, I'm very entangled......"
"Hehehe, come on, I guess you don't know if you want to save the girls at home or the concubines outside!"
"Nonsense! Only those who have money are called concubines, and those who have no money are dewy and romantic, and as soon as the sun comes out, it will be gone! β
"Hahaha!"
"I won't tell you!"
"Well, I've got new clothes again, this time it's a bit wide, it's not easy to wear."
"That's when you gained weight!"
"Fat is a good thing!"
"No one says fat is a bad thing, although the newspaper says what kind of fat accumulation it is, but you can punch a few more punches when you get beaten, haha!"
"I think you're trying to get beaten!"
"We can try it at the swamp entrance!"
"Hehe, just kidding, it's almost a joke, speaking of which, this dress really doesn't look good."
"You don't care about him, I don't want money anyway, although it's ugly, it's convenient to work, do you want to wear a magician's robe to move stones, haha!"
"Oh, the magician, what's in your mouth?"
"Huh? Lit sticks? What's this trendy thing? Or what alchemical potion? β
"Oh, he spit out his cigarette? Is this magic? He actually used magic on the street......"
"Be quiet, it's a new thing for magicians, not magic."
"Eat smoke, this is still a fire magician."
But the staff in his hand was clearly inlaid with a blue water-based demon core...... Could it be that he is a magician of both fire and water? β
"Don't talk about it, there are too many new things lately, and there will be an explanation in two days."
"Almost, let's see if today's broadcast will mention it."
"Probably not, it's an invention of magicians, and we can't use it."
"Well, it's time to listen to the radio, I want to know what's going on over there at the Iron Fortress."
"And if you don't fight, what's there to hear?"
"You're not in the mood to listen to the fight."
"Hey, it's broadcast time again!"
"Oops, I've got a little bit left unfinished, can you stop broadcasting yet!"
"Who told you to lie in bed? If you don't get in bed, you won't be able to finish it! β
"Haven't you started yet? My noodles are almost cold, and I enjoy eating and listening to them! β
The voices of countless people came to my ears, and I sifted them out and found that the residents were still looking forward to the broadcast, and of course some expressed regret.
"It's boring to look at the paintings, if only someone in the circus could perform them!"
"Then you'll have to pay for a ticket, do you have that money? You've spent all the money on a woman's belly, right? β
"That's better than you, the money has been taken away by the mother-in-law!"
"You haven't seen the magician's illusion, it's much better than the circus, the circus's little trick of flying with hemp rope is too boring, it's fun to watch the magician's illusion!"
"That's a lot more expensive than a circus ticket."
"Forget it, anyway, the radio doesn't cost money, and then go to have fun after listening, I can also personally perform the King of Adventures vs. the Succubus!"
"Just you? Before I even started fighting, I was kicked out of bed by a succubus! β
"Hahaha!"
"The radio is about to start again, what story are you going to tell today? Alas, if only these albums were also colored, so that the armor of King Arthur's thirteen knights could be distinguished......"
These words are more or less reflective of the lack of radio and newspapers, but I am glad that they are not complaining about literacy β and of course, it is possible that they don't care.
