Chapter Thirty-Six: The Old Mage of the Temple
"Aha! Forget it, Panborne, let me explain, my name is Venerable No. 2, and I am not from an illegal medical institution, so I can count me as your patient.
By the way, do you have any news, where can we heal this kind of injury? Lake shook his right hand and looked at Pembern on the stretcher.
"If there were, I would have gone a long time ago, and I would have to wait until now!" Panburne looked at Lake with an expressionless face, now that he had no hope of living, he wanted to free himself, but unfortunately he couldn't do both.
"It's okay, I'll continue to rent this villa and find you another caregiver to take care of your daily life." Lake said with some regret.
Panborn looked at Lake a little strangely after hearing this: "Why?" β
"You just burn my money, I'm doing good. My money is also from the claims after an accident, and I do more good deeds, so that I can go to heaven after death, as if heaven really exists! Lake made up excuses for himself.
"It's a pity that I don't drink and drive a motorcycle, otherwise I would have paid compensation.
Can you buy me a few beers! Venerable No. 2, I haven't drunk since I was injured, and you won't be able to spend all your money anyway! Pembern sighed, looking at Lake with some pleading.
In order to keep this Pan Byrne from committing suicide and have the spirit to live, Lake nodded and readily agreed.
Lake said to Pangborn, who was lying on the stretcher: "Where did you put the key to this villa, I'll go to the supermarket next to me to buy some wine and come back, and I'll bring you back what you want to eat."
Forget it, looking at the way you are now, you can't eat anything yourself, and I won't feed you.
I'll buy some straws, you can make do with more drinks tonight and then eat, and I'll find a paramedic to take care of you tomorrow. β
Pembourne: "----", he then glanced at the shoe rack in the doorway.
Lake walked over and found the key to the small cottage on the shoe rack at the door.
Lake went to the supermarket on the street next to the cottage and bought twelve cans of beer, some deli from the supermarket, and of course a bag of straws.
He didn't dare to go far, for fear that Pan Bern would leave alone in the villa and have an accident.
Lake was carrying a bag of food and wine in his left hand, and when he opened the door to the villa, he saw an old man standing next to Pembern's stretcher bed, and this old man was wearing a large black coat, and inside the coat, some ancient cultivator clothes were exposed.
Lake was pleasantly surprised, "This seems to be someone from the temple, and the cultivation clothes worn by this old man are obviously similar to those guardian mages in the New York Temple."
It seems that a good person has a good reward, and he finally waited for it. β
The old man turned around and said slowly to Lake, but it was a little different from the more sacred conversation that Lake expected: "You are back, call the Second Venerable, I am the landlord of this villa."
I heard that you are going to pay the rent for Pembourne, are you going to pay it for three months or half a year at a time?
If you give half a year at a time, you can get a discount, and I won't charge you a fraction.
By the way, the Pemberns still owe me more than a month's rent.
You think about it, how about paying for half a year at a time, I lost a bet recently, and my money is a little tight. β
"Ahh Lake was stunned.
"The facilities in this house are very complete, my rent is not high, you can't find a cheaper place to live nearby!" The old man then said to Lake.
"Hmm. Pay for half a year, do you come to collect the room fee, there is nothing else? Lake asked tentatively, first agreeing to the guardian mage of the New York Divine Domain.
The old man nodded blankly, and looked at Lake with some confusion, "I was going to urge the room fee before, there is nothing else, what else can I do?" β
Lake put down his beer and the food he bought, "Let's have a drink, the beer we just bought."
I didn't expect you to come, I'll call some more food delivery and send some food and drinks! ", Lake thought, must find a way to keep the guardian mage of this temple, at least communicate more, and see if he can tell him the location of the ancient one.
The old man turned his head to look at the beer, "Stay and drink, can't you reduce the rent!" βγ
Lake was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
The old mage of the temple directly found a chair and sat down beside the stretcher of Pembourne and waited for a drink.
Lake looked at this, and didn't even need to talk about retention later.
Encountering such an invisible old temple mage, Lake quickly picked up his phone, found a nearby restaurant, and ordered some drinks.
In more than ten minutes, the drinks and the hot dishes were delivered.
The three of them began to drink beer and eat in the hall.
Lake brought a small coffee table for drinks and food.
He opened a bottle of beer to Pembern, inserted a straw, and placed it on his stretcher, where Pembern could open his mouth to drink.
Lake and the old Templar mage, the two of them began to eat cooked food and drink wine.
"Give me a chicken leg!" Pembern drank a bottle of wine, watched the landlord and Lake eat there, he looked and smelled the aroma and was a little greedy, licked his tongue and said.
The old mage of the temple hurriedly took the remaining fried chicken leg into his hand and put it in his mouth to take a bite.
"You're not hurt, it's not good to eat this fried chicken!" The old mage said as he quickly eliminated the last fried chicken leg.
"Old foodie, this is the new employer I found, he rents your shabby house, or for the sake of sympathy with me!" Panburn yelled from his hospital bed, apparently he had been familiar with the old landlady before.
"Get you a piece of pizza with chicken on top!" Lake tossed a small piece of pizza to Pembourne's mouth.
"How do I feel, you are insulting me like this, feeding me like a dog." Panborn squirmed on the bed and said.
The old mage smiled, "Then what do you want, you are injured like this, it would be nice to have someone to drink with you." β
Panborn opened his mouth and took a big bite of pizza, "Let the insult come more violently!" β
The three of them drank wine and chatted casually, Lake mainly listened from the sidelines, this old mage and Pembern have known each other for many years, and they are still golfers, but I didn't expect the old mage to like to play basketball at this age.
"My life is a waste, she's gone! If it weren't for Venerable No. 2 coming over today, I would have wanted to 'go' with me." Panborn said as he took a sip of beer.
"Don't give up, boy, there's still a long, long way to go. You're gone, there's no one to drink with me! I'm hereβ" The old mage wanted to continue, but he looked at Lake beside him and shut up again.
"Old fellow, if you have anything to say, stop halfway through! Are you afraid that I will 'leave', no one will rent your shabby house, and you will have no money to buy alcohol and drink in the future. Panborn yelled on the stretcher.
