Zhang Hong sat cross-legged on the bed, staring intently at a brown duck feather hanging from a mosquito net shelf, tied to a cotton thread and blown by the breeze. It shakes gently.

"Hanging Feather Method" is the name he gave to this condensation mystical method. This method was obtained from Andrew, the wild mage he had captured alive.

This Andrew is a good fate, after he was captured alive, he confessed everything he knew. The school saw him as a half-magician, and they didn't treat him badly. After being locked up for a while, Xiao Chen and Morey went to interrogate him, this guy was shocked by Xiao Chen's powerful spiritual power, crying and shouting that he wanted to stay and be Xiao Chen's apprentice. Considering that this man would be useful in understanding the magic of this world, the committee finally decided to release him and leave him as an advisor. This guy is now very nervous because he has a nominal inheritance, and is ready to join the magic group that is being prepared.

The school has mastered Andrew's meditation method and Selinda Arias taught Li Jia's meditation method, but out of caution, it is still studying the dangers of these two methods, and it is temporarily closed to individual learning.

But Zhang Hong can't wait, he must improve his strength as soon as possible, he knows that just outside the school, there are two time bombs waiting for him, which will ruin him at any time. So he was ruthless and used one of his mechanical watches to exchange this condensation mystery method from Andrew, as well as a few small spells.

After practicing for a while, Zhang Hong felt that he was a genius.

According to Andrew, the dead fat man, it took him more than two years to practice concentration on his own. And Zhang Hong only took more than a month to initially feel his divine sense.

Just like now, when he closes his eyes, he can feel this feather in front of him, which is not an illusion, nor an imagination, but a wonderful sense. It's as if he saw, heard, smelled, and now he was able to 'feel'.

In the past, Zhang Hong always had to cultivate until he was mentally tired, but today, he stopped after practicing for about twenty minutes, and he had more important things to do.

Dressed and going out, Zhang Hong avoided a few indigenous children playing in the aisle and tattered bottles and cans from nowhere with a disgusted face before coming downstairs.

Zhang Hong sighed, the school is now getting more and more smoky.

More than a month ago, when horse thieves attacked and destroyed the houses of many townspeople, the school temporarily sheltered the families of local people who had taken refuge in the school. Unexpectedly, some people found that the school's dormitory building was a hundred times stronger than their dilapidated house, and they stayed at the school. Zhang Hong's building is home to several such families, some of whom have joined the Guards, training and patrolling on weekdays, and some have joined the agricultural group, responsible for hunting and farming. A few clever or somewhat skilled ones have joined the factories and workshops.

Most of these people's living habits are terrifyingly bad, at the beginning of the open defecation, collecting rags everywhere, lighting a fire in the corridor to barbecue meat, all kinds of strange things. Zhang Hong and others, who live together, are simply miserable.

Fortunately, they are still in charge, perhaps because they are managed too much by the lords, and most of these people are humble and respectful in front of the earthlings. The school has equipped them with a special "life manager", which allows these people to slowly adapt to life here. But adults are easy to manage, but children are difficult. These "wild children" often make Zhang Hong unable to sleep well. Zhang Hong didn't care about them, but he had just scolded them the day before, and he was pulled a piece of at the door the next day. He was dizzy at the sight of these lawless imps now.

Zhang Hong walked along a big road to the school gate, surrounded by busy pedestrians with hurried footsteps, and these people just said hello when they saw each other, and they didn't have time to say a few words. In today's school, there are no holidays, and everyone is like a wound clockwork, turning non-stop. If he hadn't taken a leave of absence from illness, he would have given Chinese lessons to the natives at the language school at this moment.

Zhang Hong walked to the door while thinking about his thoughts. Now the school gate has been expanded, with towers erected on both sides, platforms on top, and a women's wall on the outer side, with shooting holes on it. It already has a bit of a castle look. Several guards with spears were standing guard under the leadership of a warrior with a gun. Three are from the school and two are locals. Just like everywhere else, these locals have started to infiltrate the school and start to be everywhere.

"Did you hear about it, Xiao Chen, they bought four or five thousand slaves and came back!" whispered a student with a spear in his hand. However, although the voice was soft, it was still heard by Zhang Hong.

"You're mistaken. Four or five thousand, how is that possible? How many of us are there? At most, four or five hundred?" said another student, surprised.

"How is it impossible, the two people in the business group have already come back in advance to report the news. The school will have to arrange food and accommodation for these people right away!"

"Well, can we do a lot less work in this way?" said one student.

"I'm wondering if there are any pretty girls among these slaves. You say, we now have more men and fewer women, do we have to take care of it, for example, one per person?"

"Shut up. The soldier who was holding a rifle and looked like a squad leader shouted, "What are you dreaming of? ”

Suddenly, the two students collapsed.

Zhang Hong walked out of the school gate without saying a word when he heard this, but his heart was churning like boiling water.

Four or five thousand slaves, what a fortune is that? What a great credit it is to be earned by the two villains Xiao Chen and Luo Ling? Zhang Hong's heart was filled with a sour smell, and he walked down the ramp against the wall, thinking in his heart what a wonderful thing it would be if such a great work was done by him. While imagining other people's praise for his merits, he complained that the damned Hong Lifeng was dead and caused chaos for him.

If it weren't for the dead ghost, I could have gone to the county as a representative......

The road between the school and the town of Floro was greatly widened, and there were occasional horse-drawn carts and ox carts carrying goods between the two places. And Zhang Hong's destination is a hotel in the town. The innkeeper fled to the field long before the horse thieves arrived, and now this ownerless inn has become a temporary base for the Blue Flame mercenary group.

Zhang Hong pushed open the door of the hotel and found that the lobby on the first floor of the hotel was dark and cramped, and there was no one there. Only a grim-looking half-elf sat behind the bar and poured himself a drink, and a giant man over two meters tall was nibbling on a leg of mutton. When the half-elf saw Zhang Hong come in, he glanced at him casually, and drank to himself. The giant man remained unmoved, and continued to fight with the food.

Zhang Hong was shocked by the half-elf, he looked at himself, like a hunter looking at his prey, which made people's backs chill and hair in his heart. At the moment of entering the door, the weaknesses of his whole body seemed to be seen through by him. And that giant man, just a black bear-like back can cause tremendous pressure on people.

Zhang Hong instinctively wanted to quit this ghost place, but the reality forced him to use the power of these people. He plucked up his courage, slowly walked to the bar, subconsciously straightened his neckline, and coughed: "I, I'll hire someone." ”

The half-elf didn't answer, and continued to drink to himself.

"I'll hire someone to help me do things!" Zhang Hong said with a raised voice.

The giant man turned his head to look at him and said, "The regiment commander is not here, and he will not accept the task." ”

"You mercenaries, stay in the town, don't you just wait to be hired, I have gold coins!" Zhang Hong took out two gold coins from his pocket and slapped them on the table, "The task is very simple, you all know that our army is about to expel the goblin tribe in the nearby forest. I'll go along, I need two masters to protect me. Then if we find the horse thieves who have escaped, you will take action and kill them for me!

The giant man glanced at the two shiny gold coins, swallowed his saliva, pushed the half-elf and said, "Drunkard, he really can afford gold coins." ”

The half-elf said nonchalantly, "Wood, have you forgotten Captain Kalanda's instructions?

"However, my mother said that it would be a fool not to make money. The giant man looked at the two gold coins with some hot eyes, "There's nothing going on in the town these days, I'm going to get sick." Besides, we're gone, and Leo and them. ”

Zhang Hong was happy when he saw that giant man's heart, and hurriedly said: "I not only have gold coins here, but also a lot of goods that are special to the castle, many things, which you have never seen." If you want, I can get it for you. ”

The half-elf sneered, "You humans, even if they fall from the sky, you can't change this ugliness of buying people. I'm not interested in your stuff, let's go. The half-elf poured the wine in the cup into his mouth at once, threw the cup on the table, and made a "clang" sound, Zhang Hong didn't have to think about it to know that this was going to send off guests.

The giant man was a little anxious when he saw that the half-elf was unmoved, he scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, and suddenly patted his head and said loudly: "By the way, Cole, don't you want to learn a few more magic spells to increase the power of your magic bow technique? This guy came out of the magician's castle." Maybe you have it on hand!"

The half-elf Cole's narrow eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Gameiro, you wood is really brainless! Do you think that the inheritance of the magician is given like this? This kind of thing is mixed in, and I don't know how to die!"

Zhang Hong's heart moved when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "You said earlier, of course I have magic, I myself am a magic apprentice, and the magic in my hand is not the inheritance of the magic castle, I brought it from the family." As long as you are willing to do it, I can promise to teach you two magic. There is no future trouble. ”

Hearing this, Cole couldn't help but stand up, Zhang Hong knew that he was moved......
