Chapter 68: A New Beginning
Breathing in the fresh air of Avalon, Zhang Lin felt refreshed, a strong smell of breakfast wafted downstairs, and standing in front of the windowsill, he could see people who were busy early in the morning in the distance.
"Jack, stop drinking, come and help! You can do something serious except dozing off or drinking. A female knight passing by carrying a log knocked on the onion knight's helmet.
"Bang-"
The already empty flask landed on his boot with a crunch, and Jack Barto shook his head and squinted at the person in front of him through the gap in his helmet, "Oh, Anri, it's you, I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep again." ”
As he spoke, Jack stood up and carried the wood sitting under him to his shoulders, for the helmet was so wide that he had to keep the thick log from slipping off his shoulders, and the posture he used seemed to be twisted, and the whole person was tilted to one side.
"You can't hold it, I suspect you'll fall if you take two steps." Anli complained a little impatiently, "I really don't know how you survived before. ”
After being reminded by Anri, Jack suddenly realized and hugged the wood horizontally to his chest, only to turn around and almost knock down another person who came from behind.
The black-armored knight, who had dodged Jack's sweep of the giant wood, looked at him silently, did not complain about anything, but continued to get busy without saying a word.
"Oh my God, who told you to be horizontal, can't you do it vertically?"
The tireless Ashmen were so efficient that in a day or two the rudiments of a small village had emerged, but that had to be ignored by the wooden shelves that looked like they would collapse when the wind blew.
After all, it's all about the ashes of talent in battle, and it's impossible to think of how perfect a house they can build, but fortunately, one of the magicians studied architecture to support himself during his study of magic, and under his guidance, at least the overall work is still done well.
"Horace and I were almost devoured by Eldridge, and that terrible guy refused to let go of his own child, and it was Horace, who was always very taboo about his father becoming such a monster, so he was always silent, but he himself was a good man." Anri walked side by side with the Onion Knight, his mouth a little idle, "Are you listening?" ”
"Hmm, I'm listening, I'm listening." The wood he was holding nearly toppled over, and Jack scrambled to rebalance it back, but it was clear that he had just wandered away from the world again.
But Anri didn't care, she continued: "After the two of us woke up, we thought about going to seek revenge on Eldridge, who must have also woken up, but when I learned that Aldridge had been destroyed, I almost felt that I had lost my goal and would soon be a living corpse. ”
"And what are your goals now?" Jack didn't get distracted this time.
"Do you know Astra?" When it comes to his homeland, which has perished, Anri seems a little lost.
"Well, it's a famous knight's country, and it is said that the first Sun Knights were born from Astra." Jack was silent for a moment before continuing, "But I heard that during the time I was asleep, Astra was already destroyed? As he spoke, he turned his head sideways to notice Anri's expression.
"yes, so I want to rebuild the country, it sounds a little incredible, right, but as long as we are alive, there will be hope, after all, time is no longer an issue for us." Anri stared into the distance with some longing.
"Haha, your goal is great."
"It's nothing," Jack's compliment made Anri a little embarrassed, she scratched her head and asked, "And what about you, Jack, what are you going to do?" ”
"Me? I want to open a tavern and give you my Jack cuvée and then make some friends, hahaha. Speaking of this, Jack was obviously pleased, fumbled to take a small keg, and handed it to Anri, "Give it to you, if you think it's good, just ask me for it later." ”
"So we're friends?"
"Of course!"
Retracting his gaze from the window, Zhang Lin walked downstairs, and the tavern opened in the wizarding world was copied as it was, like a small castle.
The little puppet Bailey sat on the white tabletop, opposite Fengyan, with piles of small crystals beside her, and a stack of Gwent cards not much smaller than herself.
Every time she played a card, she had to run all over the table.
When did this little guy learn to play this? Zhang Lin was very curious, especially judging from Feng Yan's expression, she had lost many times.
Emma and Ciri were busy in the kitchen with their aprons on, and their cooking skills improved rapidly, and after returning to Avalon, Emma kicked Zhang Lin out of the kitchen that belonged to him, and Zhang Lin himself was happy to be idle.
Zhang Lin said hello, took a disc full of breakfast directly from the table and walked out.
Outside, the original old house was transformed into a research institute by Mia, although it was still an ordinary wooden house on the surface, but the interior was already full of various equipment, making Zhang Lin wonder if Mia had directly emptied people's laboratories during the time she went to the wasteland world.
Regarding why the appearance of the institute maintains the shape of a wooden house, Zhang Lin asked Mia, but her answer was disguise, for this answer, Zhang Lin was convinced, and sure enough, his brain circuits couldn't keep up with the other party.
Zhang Lin walked in with breakfast and a piece of sweet, crisp honey croissant in his mouth.
After a discordant physical examination, he made his way to the inside of the institute, only to see Fried and two girls in black robes talking to Mia.
"Although the curse of the undead has been lifted, my sister and the two of them still need to rely on the Soul Ring to maintain their appearance as living people, what should I do?"
"Sister, this is already good." Lilianne, the youngest of the three daughters, timidly hid behind Fried, looked at the various glowing devices in the institute with some suspicion, and then tugged at the sleeve of the eldest sister's coat.
When the curse on Lilianne, who was almost completely alive, was cured, her already indifferent feelings returned, and she became a little scared of life, and even as an immortal, the girl had suffered greatly while studying the dark scriptures of Longor.
"That's a small thing," Mia pushed her glasses and looked at Fried's two sisters, Yulia with a cold face and Lilianne shrunk back, "Whether it's going to get back to the way it is now, or to be prettier, we'll be able to do it." ”
"Huh?" Frede was stunned for a moment, "No need, just let them return to their original appearance." ”
"Hmm...... Are you going to give them plastic surgery? Zhang Lin chewed bread and walked over, "There is a goddess in their world who is also in charge of this business." ”
"It's a hassle to run around."
"Okay," Zhang Lin looked at Lilian, who was huddled behind Fried, took a piece of cheese from the plate, and handed it over, "Come on, you haven't had breakfast yet." ”
Seeing that Lilianne did not dare to reach out, Fred took it and put it in her sister's hand.
"Thank you, it's so sweet~" Liliane smiled happily as she took a sip of cheese.
"Alright, master, stay early, after that this is the lady's space, you can leave."
Mia took the plate in Zhang Lin's hand and put it aside, pushing and shoving him to leave the institute.
Standing in front of the research institute, Zhang Lin shrugged his shoulders and pulled away Rudaosi, who was about to go in to say hello.
