This person wears an old straw hat with messy hair on his face, dozens of large and small patches on the shirt he wears, and the most special thing is that he has a wine jug around his neck and sways left and right with the movement of his body.

"Who's coming?" The old man's voice was unusually loud.

Captain Bei said politely: "Old man, we are from Princess City, is the dementia mage at home?" ”

The old man straightened his waist and pointed to his nose and said, "This mage is a dementia mage!" ”

Captain Bei immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, "Dementia, ah, no, no, mage, it's nice to see you!" The last general is the captain of the palace guard team of Princess City, these are the messengers of the king of my family, they have important things to do with the mage, and the king of my family hopes that the mage can help with all his might. For this reason, the king of my family will send you thirty gold ingots as a reward, I heard that the master likes to drink, my king sent two barrels of good wine for the master to taste, after the fact, the king of my family will also invite the master to go to the princess city palace to live for a few days, my king has heard the name of the master for a long time and wants to talk with the master for a few days. ”

Captain Bei said as he took out the gold bag from his arms and handed it to the demented mage, and then said goodbye to Shanglin and the others in a very low-key manner, and then left with the two sailors.

The demented mage opened the gold bag and looked at it, his eyes lit up, he raised his head, the beard on his face trembled with excitement, and smiled at the visitors: "Hey, today is really a distinguished guest!" The King of the Valley River has sent so much gold, and this mage is the King of the Heavenly Ridge! ”

When the little green men who were working in the fields heard this, they all threw down their work and ran over to surround the demented mage, shouting:

"Master, how much gold is in that bag?"

"Master, why did King Guhe give you so much gold?"

"Master, who are these strange guests?"

"Master, can you buy meat to eat today?"

……

The demented mage did not answer the questions of the seven little apprentices, and he held the gold bag and reprimanded the apprentices sharply: "Go, go!" Good work! As the teacher told you a long time ago, if you don't have real skills, you are lazy and rich like a passing cloud, today you are richer than the king of Tianling, and tomorrow you will be as poor as a demented mage! Of course, if anyone sends the wine that King Guhe gave to the teacher to the teacher's room, the teacher can reward him with a bowl of good wine to drink. ”

The six little apprentices immediately started to grab the wine barrel, and the three people grabbed one, you pulled me to stand still, and the demented mage held the gold bag and watched the excitement.

The youngest disciple stood by and smiled, "Hey, senior brothers, you don't have to fight, didn't the master just say?" Whoever brings wine into his room has a bowl of wine to drink, and if the six of you send two barrels of wine together, won't everyone have wine to drink? ”

The six little brothers who grabbed the wine barrel suddenly realized that they cooperated tacitly and walked towards the grass house in front of them with two barrels of wine in their hands.

The demented mage lowered his head and smiled, "Jiesheng, you are still the smartest!" Although you asked the teacher to drink a few bowls of wine less, but you have only been here for two months and have already made a lot of money by helping the teacher sell herbs. ”

"Thank you, master!" After speaking, the little apprentice turned his face to look at Kapok Zi and said seriously: "Master, this guest brother is so big, very much like the legendary grassland celebrity!" ”

Everyone laughed.

Kapok smiled: "You are very small, but you seem to be very smart!" ”

The little apprentice said to Kapok very politely: "Thank you for the compliment!" Master, I'm planting flowers, goodbye to all guests, brothers and sisters! ”

After the little apprentice Jiesheng finished speaking, he happily walked into the flower and grass, he would not have thought at this moment that he was destined to meet Kapok again, and many years later, the two of them joined forces to do something famous in Xizhou.

Shanglin and the others all smiled and looked at the back of the demented mage, a clever and polite little apprentice, leaving.

Spreading the disciples apart, the demented mage warmly invited guests into his living room. It was a low adobe thatched hut, with brown adobe pits and mottled exterior walls, cracks in the walls of the room leading from the root of the wall to the roof, and the sky light outside the house shone through the cracks on an old wooden table and a few antique wooden chairs in the room.

"Please be seated!" The demented mage stood inside the door with the gold bag in his arms and greeted him warmly.

Over the mountains and mountains, Kapok was already tired, and as soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to sit on a wooden chair, but he didn't expect the wooden chair to fall apart immediately under his weight.

"Smack!" "Ouch!" Kapok fell on all fours, hitting the back of her head into the mud.

The demented mage hurriedly put the gold bag on the table, then leaned down and pulled up the kapok and said solemnly, "Hey! Distinguished guest, this chair has been doing well for 70 years, but this time it is because your body is too heavy, and it really can't withstand it. ”

Several visitors couldn't help but laugh.

The demented mage helped Kapok to sit down on another wooden chair carefully, and Kapok touched her head and said, "Hey, Master, the seventy-year-old chair is too old to be thrown away." ”

The head of the demented mage shook like a rattle, "No, no, you don't know, these chairs are made by my master, throw them away I'm sorry master, my head is broken, this mage can make up for it, but if the master's chair is broken, it will be troublesome, and the best craftsmen in Tianling Country may not have such good craftsmanship as my master, let this master see how your master's head breaks the law." ”

The dementia mage said as he expertly unwound the cloth wrapped around the head of the kapok, and he squinted at it and said, "Hey, the head of the distinguished guest is just wiped off a little bit of skin and not repaired. It's just that it's a pity that such a beautiful piece of your hair was burned off by fire, and this mage couldn't imagine that your guest would like to play with fire when he grew so big!"

The young guests laughed again.

Waiting for the demented mage to sit down, Kabayashi said, "Mage, let's ......."

Unexpectedly, Shang Lin's words were immediately interrupted by the demented mage: "Hey, don't say it, this mage also knows why you are here!" Although this master has not been out of Wulingzhuang for ten years, he is still well aware of the major events that have happened in the world. This mage heard that the Sea King was preparing to use force against Princess City, and now that the second battle for hegemony in Qizhou was about to break out, in a hurry, you Guhe King wanted to recruit the world's wizards to serve him.

This mage has traveled around the world for decades and has long had the ability to read faces, and several distinguished guests not only have strange appearances but also have rich and noble appearances. This mage thinks that your ancestors are somewhat related to the steppe red people brought by the Heavenly King a hundred years ago, so the Guhe King wants to reuse you. Everyone in the world knows that this mage is proficient in swordsmanship in addition to spells, so the king of Guhe spares no expense to send you to this mage to learn swordsmanship. ”

The demented mage's mouth gushed endlessly, and his eyes looked at a few uninvited guests from time to time

Shanglin was most interested in swordsmanship, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of swordsmanship does the mage know?" ”

"Phantom Sword, of course! This mage's phantom sword is not the first in the world, at least the second, if it ranks third, it would be too unfair! After speaking, the demented mage picked up the flask hanging from his chest and took a leisurely sip of wine.

Ama looked at the demented mage's smug appearance and pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Although the mage is good at swordsmanship, he has taught a bad apprentice!" ”

Hearing this, the demented mage stared at Ama with two round eyes wide in shock: "This mage has a bad apprentice?" What do you mean? ”

Wang Fan took Zhen'er out of his schoolbag and said, "Mage, you see, your bad apprentice used transfiguration to turn a princess into a villain!" ”

The demented mage pointed his finger at Zhen'er and asked in confusion, "Are you saying that this villain is a transformation princess?" ”

"Yes, mage, I was originally a princess, and I was turned like this by a bad mage, you have to help me turn back into a human!" Zhen'er craned her neck and said earnestly to the demented mage.

The demented mage jumped up and said in surprise, "What a shapeshifter! Hey! Master Ben opened his eyes today. Someone dared to go to Princess City and use Transfiguration on the princess's body. This mage now knows why the king of Guhe gave this mage so much gold, and it turns out that his princess has become a shapeshifter. ”

After speaking, the demented mage looked unexpectedly calm down quickly, he sat back in his seat, grabbed the long beard on his chin and watched Zhen'er fall into a trance.

Kapok Zi said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, mage, the people in Princess City say that only you can transfigurate in Qizhou, so this matter is either done by you or by your apprentice, you must now use transfiguration to turn the princess back into a human!" ”
