Chapter 70: Copper Sheets

It took a whole day for Li Xuan to transcribe all the processes and related production links of the awakening liquid configuration in Pisford's memory in Chinese, and used up 3 complete pieces of parchment.

After coming out of the wine cellar, Li Xuan found that Boris had been guarding outside the wine cellar, Li Xuan nodded to him and said, "I'm a little hungry, go and ask the kitchen to make me some wheat porridge." ”

"Yes sir. After saying that, Boris trotted to the kitchen, he remembered that in the kitchen, there would always be a pot of wheat porridge, this was the kitchen helper Carl's idea, he suggested that the kitchen should prepare a pot of warm wheat porridge every day, so that Li Xuan can eat it at any time if he is hungry, if he does not eat, after cooking a new wheat porridge the next day, the overnight wheat porridge can also be eaten by the servants.

Karl's idea allowed him to get a gold coin rewarded by Boris, Boris was reluctant to do so, but he thought of what Li Xuan had said to him, if the servants had a good suggestion, they should reward him generously.

At this time, Boris felt that the gold coin rewarded Carl was worth the money, because Li Xuan had been writing the mysterious square runes on parchment since the morning, and he had not stopped writing until the evening. There's nothing better than a pot of warm porridge at this time.

Although he wrote for a day, Li Xuan's mental state was not very tired, and when he walked back to the house, Boris was already standing at the door and said to him: "Sir, the wheat porridge has been served, will you eat it in the kitchen or go upstairs to eat?"

Li Xuan asked him curiously: "Take it to the pavilion on the third floor to eat, and by the way, ask Anna to help me light up the night light." But the porridge is ready so quickly?"

Boris smiled and said, "No, sir, there is always a pot of porridge for you in the kitchen, it was the idea of the little knight Karl." For this, I rewarded him with 1 gold coin in your name. ”

Li Xuan nodded and asked him: "I remember this young man, who looks very big, said that he eats a lot, is literate, and can also do swordsmanship." ”

Boris smiled and nodded and said: "That's right, sir, it's him, he works very quickly, as for whether he can read or write, I don't know, but every day when he is free, he will practice swordsmanship, but they are all relatively simple basic swordsmanship, and it seems that no swordsman has instructed him." ”

Li Xuan looked at Boris and said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite concerned about him." ”

Boris smiled: "Karl is a good seedling, maybe he can really become a knight." ”

Li Xuan nodded: "Well, the dream still has to be had, what if it comes true?"

Boris was stunned for a moment, and muttered a repeat of Li Xuan's words: "The dream still has to be had, what if it comes true? ”

Li Xuan waved his hand: "This is not what I said, it is what a strong man in my hometown said." Is the little knight in the manor?"

"In. Boris replied immediately.

"Then you call him over, and I'll talk to him. Li Xuan said.

"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll call him. With that, Boris turned and walked to the kitchen.

Li Xuan saw him go to call someone, so he slowly walked up the stairs to the third floor.

Anna soon came up to the third floor, she took the oil lamp, lit up the oil lamps in the eight lamp holders in the pavilion, and then put the oil lamp in her hand on the table where Li Xuan was reading, the whole pavilion looked much brighter, Li Xuan said to Anna: "Anna, you go and pour me a cup of hot water, don't be too hot, it's best to be warm and warm." ”

"Yes sir. Anna replied, then turned and went downstairs.

A short time later, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and Boris walked up, followed by a large boy with his palms on his waist holding a tray of a bowl of porridge and a plate of snow-white pickled radish.

Boris stood on the edge of the gazebo, and the boy Karl gently placed the tray in the vacant place on Li Xuan's desk.

Li Xuan nodded at him and said, "Thank you." ”

The boy Carl was taken aback and said, "Sir, this is what we should do." ”

Li Xuan smiled and asked him, "What's your name?"

"My name is Carl, sir, Carl Gary. The boy Karl replied, with some unease in his tone.

Li Xuan looked at him and then at Boris, and said, "Boris, if there is anything else, you can go and get busy first, and I will chat with him for a few words." Karl, sit down and talk, I heard Boris say, it was your idea to prepare a pot of porridge for me every day?"

When Carl heard this, his hanging heart relaxed slightly, and he replied: "Yes sir, I used to work as a helper in the inn in the city, and there are always many travelers or guards who are hungry late at night, so there is always a pot of wheat porridge in the inn. ”

Li Xuan nodded, put down the book in his hand, picked up the wheat porridge and said to him, "Since I was working as a helper in the inn before, why did I come to the manor?"

Karl was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Xuan's question, and then his eyes were obviously a little excited and said, "Uncle Gordon said, follow you, sir, one day I can become a knight!"

Li Xuan, who was eating wheat porridge, was stunned for a moment, and asked him with some doubts: "Who is Gordon, why did you follow me to become a knight?"

Karl touched his head and said, "Uncle Gordon is the innkeeper and a former friend of my father, and takes good care of me, and he wants Mr. Feuerbach to recommend me to come to the manor." But I don't know why Uncle Gordon said that. ”

Li Xuan continued to eat wheat porridge, picked up a snow-white pickled radish segment with a fork, and put it in his mouth, which was sour and crisp and refreshing, very appetizing.

While eating, Li Xuan continued to ask him, "Why do you want to be a knight?"

Hearing Li Xuan's question, Karl's eyes darkened, but soon cleared up again, and he pulled out a hemp rope from his neck, on which was a thin piece of copper, and then replied: "The teacher told me that I must keep looking for the meaning of life, no matter how desperate life is, there will be a ray of sunshine." The meaning of my life is to be a strong knight. ”

Li Xuan looked at him and said, "Can you show me?"

Carl immediately grabbed the hemp rope around his neck and took it off his head and handed it to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan picked it up and looked at it, it was a very rough ordinary copper sheet, only that sentence was engraved on it, without a signature, Li Xuan muttered to himself a little distractedly: "Keep looking for the meaning of life, no matter how desperate life is, there will be a ray of sunshine." ”

Li Xuan looked at the copper sheet silently, and lost his mind for a while before slowly recovering his senses.

He handed the copper tablet back to Karl and said, "Your teacher is a wise man. ”
