Chapter 42: A Place to Settle Down (Part II)

It was a very clean space, about 20 square meters at its current size.

A large double bed, sofa, bookcase, bookshelves are not missing. On the windowsill there are two pots of broad-leaved flowers that cannot be named, and they still exude a faint fragrance.

What Dai Lan likes most about this place is its independence. Since it is at the back of the whole building, it is not facing the street, but facing the small backyard of the house, so no one disturbs it. The entrance to the room is separate and comes directly through the backyard.

Because Dai Lan hides too many secrets, the quieter and unobtrusive the place, the safer it is.

Great hidden in the city.

Dai Lan didn't expect that there would be a quiet paradise in this noisy place.

Uncle Wise and Aunt Susan were waiting in the living room, and Dai Lan greeted them one by one, so they knew each other well.

Aunt Susan, who has already been blessed, has long known that the young man in front of her is already a punishment knight of the Earl's Court. I've never dealt with someone with such status, and I'm always a little hairy in my heart, and I unconsciously hide behind my husband.

Uncle Wise has been in poor health all year round, and has been tormented by illness, but his spirit is very strong. He was not stunned at all, and was secretly proud in his heart: "Don't say it's a punishment knight, I think I led a war horse for the Knight of Light back then." ”

At this time, a round little fat man ran in from outside, with two big eyes on his round face, and he looked eccentric. Holding a handful of purple and black raisins in his hand, he sent it to Dai Lan with a smile.

The one who came in was Rachel's younger brother, a lovely, brave, enthusiastic young man, 12-year-old Cahill.

Dai Lan looked at him, but suddenly remembered that Wang Gongjin in his previous life was also an out-and-out fat man!

pinched the little guy's face, took a handful of fatty raisins, and threw a few into his mouth, which was sweet and sour, and was particularly refreshing.

Dai Lan took out a silver krone and stuffed it into Cahill's hand, and then popped it on his little skull, causing him to grin and laugh for a moment.

Aunt Susan hurriedly ran over, snatched the silver coin, and wanted to return it to Dai Lan, but refused to accept anything.

Dai Lan smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Take it." I am also very happy to have found such a suitable house. It's a welcome gift for the young man. ”

Don't look at Dai Lan who has just passed 18 years old now, but he is already very mature in receiving people and things.

Aunt Susan works as a kitchen helper at the Debrolie tavern around the corner, specializing in baking small pastries, and is quite good at pasta. Dai Lan decided to raise the rent from two silver crowns to two and a half a month, on the condition that Aunt Susan would take care of the breakfast every morning.

After the pleasantries, Dai Lan had a moment of tranquility to take a closer look at the cabin.

Say it's not big, it's not small.

The independence is so-so, and there is an inconspicuous small lock on the solid wood door, which is typical of anti-gentleman and not villain. Dai Lan was actually very worried about hiding the "Selected Tang Poems" that was suspected of being a martial arts cheat book at home, so he could only carry it with him so far.

Draw the heavy curtains, no light enters the room, Dai Lan is very satisfied with its shading properties. Considering that there is a high chance that magic will be practiced in this room in the future, the secrecy here is barely reasonable, as long as it doesn't make too much noise.

The shelves are full of books and spotless. Dai Lan flipped through a few books, most of which were poems. Especially with Robert. Burns has the most books, and I don't know who in the family loves literature so much. You must know that in the ancient Middle Ages, there were very few literate people, let alone Yaxing, who was rich in poetry and songs.

Also, each book costs at least three copper tors, which is too much luxury for the common people.

While reading a book, there were a few crisp knocks on the door.

It turned out to be the little girl, the beautiful, lively Rachel.

Her brown curls were no longer so messy, and the crimson of embarrassment on her face had long since receded. Standing at the door, he smiled and said to Dai Lan: "Mr. Knight, thank you no matter what, for teaching those scoundrels a lesson in the street market that day." ”

"Did they trouble you again?"

"No, not one." Rachel did not have the previous restraint, but showed her pungent and generous personality. He squeezed his sturdy, calloused hands and looked at Dai Lan: "That big man of yours is really amazing!" I've never seen anyone who can fight like that. If only I could be a female knight, I wouldn't be bullied. Lowering his eyes, there was a hint of sadness.

Dai Lan knew that in this era, it was impossible for a civilian girl with no power or power to learn magic and swordsmanship.

"With the Robertson family to help you fight, no one will dare to bully you in the bazaar in the future." Dai Lan reminded.

Rachel's eyes were full of gratitude, she shook her lips and said softly, "Thank you for wearing the blue knight yesterday......"

"In the future, just call me Dai Lan, don't call me a knight!"

"Okay, Dai Lan!"

"By the way, whose books are they?" Dai Lan pointed to the rows of thread-bound books on the shelves.

Rachel walked to the bookshelf and gently stroked the spine of the book, as if communicating with them, as if reminiscing about the past.

"When I was a child, my father worked as a trainee knight in the family of a noble gentleman, and he earned a good monthly income, most of which was used to teach me to read. It's a pity that I didn't have enough talent and couldn't enter the academy to study. ”

Unexpectedly, Old Wise was still a trainee knight, which made Dai Lan respect him a little more. He is a real fame on the battlefield, and he is much more confident than Dai Lan, a knight of punishment who was rewarded by King Arthur.

Presumably, there are many more magical cells in the mind.

Remembering the advertisement for renting a house, Dai Lan suddenly asked, "Miss Rachel, do you know Geerk?" ”

"Tell me not to call you a knight, but you yourself call me Miss Rachel." The little girl began to learn to tease Dai Lan, "My father is a native of Ireland, you know, Gailk is our lingua franca!" ”

Dai Lan's old face turned red, and he didn't know that Mandarin in Ireland was the Gerk language.

"Why do you care about this? You speak English quite well, but your accent is a little bit worse. ”

"Because I've heard that many of the magician's books are written in the Gerk language, and I want to be a magician!" Dai Lan found that it was really difficult to hide anything in front of this innocent little girl.

Rachel's eyes widened, and she looked at the handsome young man opposite with a very adoring eye, and the same feeling rose in her heart.

Shamefully, he pulled down a strand of hair that was blocking his eyes with his fingers, and kept chanting in his mouth: "Magician......"

"Can you teach me the Gerk language?" This time it was Dai Lan's turn to be shy, "I, I can give you tuition." ”

"Who's asking for your tuition?" Rachel pursed her cherry-like lips, "You invited me to Cider from the de Broglie Tavern!" ”

Having secured his home in Dundee and finalised learning the Gerk language, Dai Lan was in a good mood. At Aunt Susan's house, I ate the most authentic haggis rice in Scotland, Haggis, with fresh chicken soup, which is simply delicious.

Satisfied, he prepared to return to Celtic Castle on an errand. As he walked past the triangular display board, a new row of dancing villains appeared in another position!

People came and went, and it was not clear whether there was some kind of force in the eyeliner, so he walked to the front of the iron plate in blue and aimlessly browsed the information. At the same time, keep those graphic passwords in mind completely.

Dai Lan was overjoyed, now there may be enough information to decipher the code!
