Chapter 22b There is also a shortage of supplies here
Wu Xin and Seymour came to the courtyard where the servants lived, and when they saw Little Terry's face with a pure smile, Wu Xin's mood was a little better.
"Cesare, can you really cast spells?"
"Cesare, do you want to release magic missiles?"
"Do you really raise your hand and let a knight run around with his head in his hands?"
Hu Cong is not divided into classes, and the Knights obviously don't have the resources to afford so many teachers, so many Hu Cong outside the English group are meeting Wu Xin for the first time who shows his warlock talent.
Most of the servants were young people, and as soon as they saw Wu Xin, they asked without any detour.
Even the children of the French group were eagerly surrounding Wu Xin, who had not yet clearly understood their position and were only attracted by the mysterious spellcaster.
Wu Xin glanced at Little Terry, he touched his head embarrassedly, he obviously made up some details of the battle between Wu Xin and Keventer's gang.
"I'm not going to release a magic missile." Wu Xin shook his head, and several younger apprentices immediately showed disappointed expressions.
The prestige of the Magic Missile is so high that in most concepts, the caster who can use the Magic Missile is the actual caster.
"But the power of arcane is by no means limited to one form." Wu Xin didn't cast the "Secondary Flame Blade" on the spot, and using this arcane technique too often would not only make him chill, but more importantly, it might reveal the secret that he could cast this magic without material.
However, Wu Xin still performed two "acid splashes" to kill two rats running around in class.
Although he did not use the "most powerful magic missile", the attitude of the older and more sensible servants towards him became extremely respectful.
Even Keane, who has always been unconvinced, completed his homework honestly, still at a low level, but he did his best.
Although Keane's strength is good, the fate of his fellow party Giggs makes him dare not offend Wu Xin, and the punishment of becoming a paddling slave is enough to make anyone fearful.
Wu Xin knew his thoughts, and he didn't immediately dismiss him, but talked to him as before.
Although he has no intention of retaliating against him, it is also necessary to make him nervous under pressure for a few days.
Of course, Wu Xin also likes this feeling, enlightenment and education is a pleasant thing for him, especially when there are no annoying guys in the classroom.
Although the sun had long since set, the three of them were still working.
"Your papers are all well written, which is not easy considering the books you can borrow."
"But unlike what you think, even if Baldwin IV did not die, the Kingdom of Jerusalem would be difficult to maintain, in fact, a few years before Baldwin IV died, the Kingdom of Jerusalem had once again fallen into a situation of passive beating."
"The battle of Mongisa was a great victory, but Saladin, the messenger of the devil, took complete control of Egypt, a land nourished by the Nile, which was populous and prolific, and only a few years later he brought back tens of thousands of pagans..."
"Charles, you should be thinking about the size and strength of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, of course God will bless us, but we can't do it without a plan."
"Doug, you are also a pious child, of course the true cross is a great treasure, but we do not have this treasure to ensure victory, piety is the basis of victory, but piety alone is not enough."
"In order to defeat the demons, sometimes we have to reconcile with the weaker demons first, or even ally with them. Of course, our ultimate goal was to exterminate all the pagans and spread the glory of God throughout the world, and there were several other forces in Syria at that time......"
Wu Xin explained seriously, and the servants listened quietly.
Most of them were still very young, and the minds of these young men were very different from those of Wu Xin's original era, and knowledge was so scarce that most knights knew only two or three hundred words, so that priests and higher nobles could write complex official documents, and the best of the priests could name a series of monarchs and explain classic battles.
Therefore, they know the value of knowledge, even if they are older and feel confused about the future, they can also do it without interfering with other people's lectures.
By the time the candle burned, it was completely dark.
"Cesare, you've missed the time to pull the drawbridge." Keane, like the other older servants, didn't pay attention to the lectures, and he really couldn't accept these things like history and culture. "But it doesn't matter, it's big enough, you can sleep with my blanket for the night."
His attitude was more deferential than the last time they met in the, maybe he had accepted reality? Or maybe he was frightened by the tragic situation of Giggs and the others, but little Terry didn't let him dig the dung pit every day.
"Ah, thank you for your kindness, Keane, but I asked my companion to spend the night in town." Wu Xin actually didn't miss the time, but deliberately didn't go back.
"Huh? Yes! I heard you won a lot of money. Keane had a "you know" look on his face.
But then he quickly put on a regretful expression: "It's a pity, I have to review the homework you gave me today, and I can't be happy together, otherwise I am very familiar with the proprietress of the town's colorful roses, and I can ask her to recommend a red card to you." ”
"That's a shame." Wu Xin shook his head regretfully.
He went to the clearing where the servants were training, and found Seymour, who had also not returned to the castle.
Together, they walked towards the town on the island.
As they walked, they chatted a few more words together.
"Your history lesson is really impressive." He had just given free training to England and Germany, and by the way, he looked at Wu Xin's course, and it was not surprising that he didn't know anything about Wu Xin, after all, it was not history. "And be careful, and put God first in every word."
There is something in Seymour's words that makes Wu Xin wary, reliability test?
"Not careful, but religious." In the dark, Wu Xin couldn't see the other party's expression, and it was the same as the issue that had just been involved in the abolition, which was also a very sensitive issue.
"Piety, of course, the island of Malta is full of the most religious people, if you are not religious, how can you come here to fight against the Ottomans." Wu Xin didn't leak, and Seymour didn't ask anything more.
Soon, they were in town.
Not long after entering the town, Wu Xin paused for a moment in front of what seemed to be a newly opened shop, but before Seymour could notice him, Wu Xin followed.
After a while, Seymour pointed to a large hall with no customers but a brightly lit store and said, "Oh, that's it." ”
He walked into the hall and patted the lazy guy sitting on the side: "We're going to buy something..."
"It's closed today, let's be early tomorrow." The guy who was already preparing to get off work didn't have a good face at all, and he didn't plan to greet Wu Xin at all.
"We're here to buy fresh food."
Hearing Seymour say the code words, the guy perked up: "Okay, okay, please here, please here." ”
They turned to the corner of the hall, and the man pulled open a cabinet, and down the stairs behind the cabinet, Wu Xin and Seymour entered the basement.
This basement is quite small and can be seen at a glance, and it is clear that the goods are not here.
Wu Xin nodded, and achieved the separation of people and goods, which can be regarded as a qualified black market.
"Ah, Seymour is a first-class apprentice, it's been a long time." The man who received them knew Seymour, and he was more polite than the fellow, and as he spoke, he handed over tea, albeit just plain water.
"My friend Sibo is an apprentice, and he needs to buy some spellcasting materials." Seymour didn't do any red tape, introduced Wu Xin directly, and then made a request.
"Xibo apprentice, hello, hello, we have everything here, all factions, universal." shook hands with Wu Xin, and the receptionist handed Wu Xin a list.
Wu Xin looked at the list, looked at it for a while, and then handed it to Seymour.
Seymour looked at it for a while, and immediately shouted, "What are you kidding, a universal spellcasting material that can activate all the first-level arcane can be sold for forty-five thalers?!" It's three times more expensive than last month, isn't that too dark? ”
Even fifteen thalers are several times the price of supply from the Order's warehouse, and the Order's warehouse is actually not completely cheap to supply, but also to make money.
"We're on the black market here, hey, don't go, how about giving you a 20% discount." Having said that, he didn't mean to chase Wu Xin at all.
Walking outside the store, Seymour felt a little embarrassed: "It's too much, there was no such ridiculous price in the past, let's go somewhere else, I know a black market merchant." ”
Wu Xin was not excited: "In the current situation, it is normal for the price of the black market to be outrageous, and we have no favor, so we can't buy low-priced goods." ”
"Hmph, it's not bullying us English." Seymour thought for a moment and said to Wu Xin again. "In the current situation, it's really not possible to have spell casting materials, or I'll give ten talers, and I'd better buy one material anyway."
Although it is also customary to share some expenses for the caster, Wu Xin did not accept it: "I still won a lot of money in the last gambling fight, I can afford it, but I can't let the profiteers treat us as fools." ”
"It's okay, we can deal with the French without casting materials." That's a tough thing to say, but that's Seymour's point later. "This time we don't gamble, and even if we lose, we won't let Belcourt and his gang get their money back. The venue or something, we're all used to it anyway, and it's not interesting if it's too big. ”
Wu Xin nodded, then squeezed out a smile and said to Seymour: "It's too late today, let's find a better place to rest?" ”
"There's still time..." Halfway through speaking, Seymour suddenly showed a sudden smile, the knights and the trainees have a huge pressure to survive, and everyone needs to vent under the pressure. "There's a newly opened bathhouse on the back street that's pretty clean, and it seems to be called Bubble Paradise."
Wu Xin was stunned, he didn't mean that, of course, as a person who has been begging for a living at sea for a long time, there is no psychological obstacle to going ashore to relax occasionally, but he just saw Sherlock on the road and planned to go to him to get some materials, but Seymour misunderstood that he wanted to do a big health care.
But it didn't matter, it would be easier to get rid of Seymour anyway, and he had planned to find a hotel to sleep in, and then go to Sherlock alone late at night.
Wu Xin pushed the boat down the river, pretending to be a young man's first attempt and said to Seymour: "Yes, I am also worried about this dangerous day, and I don't know when it will be dangerous, let's go together." ”
Seymour shook his head: "Go yourself, the best girl is two hours to receive a thaler, if it is an ordinary fisherman overnight, it is only fifty coppers, you don't want to be slaughtered." ”
Wu Xin held on again, but fortunately, Seymour was really leaving.
After Wu Xin watched him leave, he first went to the door of the bathroom he said and walked around, and after making sure that Seymour had indeed left, Wu Xin turned his head and left amid the sound of the girls soliciting customers.
