Chapter 14: Try to blend in with the human world
The Ferdinand family's fleet was getting closer and closer to the Ruby Islands, and the sense of urgency in Lolo's heart was growing day by day, except for her daily homework, she spent almost all of her remaining time in the library, frantically absorbing knowledge from books, she was so hungry that she could master all the magic in this month's time.
And as the knowledge she has come into contact with continues to increase, she can also more deeply appreciate the extraordinary nature of this mysterious set of A series of notes in her hand, so far she has obtained a total of nine notes, covering nine magic disciplines, each discipline has a detailed and profound elaboration, although it is the most basic content but it has helped her greatly, the girl has a hunch, the guy who signed A is definitely not an unknown person, his understanding of magic can no longer be described as powerful, at least one or two hundred years ahead of the mainstream magic concept of this eraγ
Girls sometimes can't help but wonder if there really is such an all-knowing and all-powerful person in this world?
In fact, since coming to Guderis, she has encountered more and more unexplained things, recently she has had two confrontations with the church, and also relied on the holy sword to kill a terrifying monster cultivated by the temple, and the mysterious teacher who has not been heard from before has also returned to her life, although the latter has not met her for some reason, but has been silently protecting her behind her, but the most unexpected thing for Luo Luo is the secret behind the Saint Laurent School of Magic, that guy named Merlin turned out to be Roland's teacher, the ancestor of magicians, with more than nine hundred years oldHowever, the years did not seem to leave any traces on his body, and from his mouth, the girl learned the whereabouts of Mama Teresa, and Luo Luo could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of what happened back then.
And now all she has to do is to seize the last time to desperately enrich herself and make herself stronger.
Compared with her, Rob has been much easier recently, and after sending away Bevi Nadette, the future super magic master has nothing else to do for the time being, so he continues to take care of his small bakery, but just a few days ago, because there are too many courses pulled down, the school has sent him a notice, if you want to take enough credits this year and not repeat the grade, you will start making up classes from now on, so the bakery is a little too much to take care of, so Master Ukairi recommended a friend's niece to help take care of the store.
It was a little girl of mixed race between beasts and humans, named Abby, with two very cute little tiger teeth and a fluffy tail, but at the age of sixteen, she claimed to be traveling alone around the Dawn Continent, and when she ran to Guderis, she found that she had no money in her pocket, and stopped to find a job to fill her stomach first, and by the way, she also saved up some money to set off again.
Rob doesn't have any opinions, he's been planning to recruit someone before, although it's fun to bully Lolo, but the girls have been busy lately, and rarely find time to come to the store, Ginny and Gage will occasionally come to help, but they also have their own things and can't stay in the bakery all the time, he has been out of business for a long time because of the freshman competition, and if he doesn't open the store well, the popularity he has accumulated will be lost.
Abby is a very suitable candidate from all aspects, the image of the little girl is cute, convenient for usually attracting guests, especially some middle-aged uncles who still have gentlemanly thoughts in their hearts have no resistance to this kind of cute and soft Lori with a tail, and they work very hard, and they are the deceased of Master Ukairi, who has a clean background, and no longer asks for much salary, only one silver coin a month, this price can be said to be quite low in Guderis, who is very expensive in manpower and material resources, but in addition, the little girl has two other requirements, the first is to provide three meals a day in the bakery, and there is no need for any big fish and meat, just the most ordinary black bread, in addition, after the bakery closes, she can be left to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
Rob had no problem with the first request, but rejected Abby's second request, not to mention what Lolo would think if he took in a young girl in his own home, there were still many secrets in the attic of the quasi-magister, and in a few days he would go with D'Addarion to kidnap the bishop of the temple, and it would be inconvenient to do things at home alone, but the quasi-magister also expressed his willingness to pay an extra silver coin to help the girl rent a place to live in the city.
But he didn't expect this proposal to be strongly resisted by Abby, who didn't know who instilled the inexplicable view that "the housing prices here are very high, and the renters are stupid" on the way to Guderis, so because she didn't want to be stupid, Abby didn't agree to rent outside anyway now.
"Instead of spending another silver coin to rent a house, you might as well give me that silver coin, as for sleeping at night, if you don't want to lend me the sofa, I can sleep on the floor, don't look at me like this, we orcs are in good health." The girl waved her arms twice, Abby didn't say anything big at this point, the physical fitness of the orc clan is notoriously strong, it is said that the five or six-year-old orc children already have the strength of a first-order warrior, what they lack is only combat skills, Abby's body has half of the blood of the orcs, so he also inherited this advantage.
"Well, the point isn't on the couch. Rob smiled wryly.
"What's that?" Abby blinked, puzzled, "and there are no beasts or poisonous insects here, so why can't you sleep on the ground?"
"Where have you traveled before, is Gudris the first human town you've ever visited?" The future Ultra Magister rubbed his temples and felt a little headache, he obviously overestimated the girl's life experience, this guy seemed to lack common sense.
"Yes, I grew up in the tribe with my mother, my mother ran out to play in the human world alone when she was young, met my father, and then found out that she was pregnant, so she followed the oath of her ancestors and ran back to the tribe to give birth to me, but then my father didn't go back as agreed, so I came out of the house when I grew up, and inquired about his whereabouts while working and traveling, saying that the rules of your human world are really strange, and there is a special law to care if others sleep on the ground?" Abby was always obsessed with not being able to sleep on the floor.
"There's no such law, but since you've come to the human world, let's find a way to integrate as soon as possible, start by renting a house, and stop sleeping on someone else's couch or floor, especially a girl's house. β
