Chapter 315: Downton's Leisurely Routine
"I don't know what questions my brother will draw? I hope the evaluation criteria for potions masters are not too strict. ”
Elaine stood in the shade of the tree, watching the dejected examinees walk out of the teaching building, her mood became more and more nervous, and when Downton came out, she ran over as soon as possible: "How is it?"
"Full marks!" Downton gestured with an OK.
"Praise the goddess, I know that my brother is the best. Elaine immediately burst into tears of joy, hugged Downton, and kissed him on the cheek.
When several nearby candidates heard Downton's answer, they were stunned for a moment, and then they were full of envy.
"Let's go, go home. In order to reassure his sister, Downton said about the episode of the old man taking him as an apprentice: "It's a pity, if there is not an independent laboratory, I will definitely agree to him." ”
"It's okay, I'm sure my brother will become a great potions master. Elaine shook her fist, and Downton never let her down.
After earning the Templar badge, completing the Potions exam, and spending another twenty days in the Great Library, using up the once a week entry opportunity, Downton was completely idle.
"It's wonderful that you don't have to work, you don't have to work every day to make a living, and you can do something you love. ”
Lying in the rattan chair on the balcony, looking at the blooming flower beds in the back garden, and looking at the vines climbing all over the swing frame, Downton sighed with emotion and stretched his waist beautifully.
"It's rare to see you idle. ”
The wolf also leaned back on the chaise longue, squinting his eyes and enjoying the sunbath, and teased Downton.
On her stomach was a book with the title page written 'A Brief History of Time' in four large gilded characters, the contents of which were very esoteric, the work of a scepter-level magician.
Downton didn't answer, and glanced at Xia Luo. Looking at the beautiful cheeks of the virtuous wolf, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he really wished that time would stop at this moment forever.
Probably because of the relationship at home, Xia Luo took off her cloak, and did not hide her identity as a wolf wolf girl at all, and her long soft brown hair fell to the ground because of her lying position. Like a waterfall, her ears drooped and filled with a languid vibe.
Even to enjoy the quiet time of the two together, Downton felt that it was worth keeping those orc slaves behind, otherwise the virtuous wolf would have left long ago.
One!
The sound of elongated trumpets came from the street, and it was a slave regiment running and drilling.
Under the supervision of instructor Quasimodo, the ogres have not had a lunch break, and every day is full of classes, and their efforts are always rewarded. The brutal training over the past few days has made them much less disobedient and undisciplined, and all that remains is iron-blooded, fierce, disciplined, and obedient.
You can eat three meals a day, with uniform standard armor and weapons, so that the cohesion of the ogres is quite high, and they can't wait to fight for Downton.
"Master, afternoon tea is ready!"
Abagun knocked on the door and walked in with a food cart and placed several plates of pastries and black tea on the table.
If you don't care about the goblin identity. Agagon was undoubtedly the best steward of all, when Downton couldn't take care of it. He not only keeps all the daily affairs of the family in order, but also oversees the matters of making money.
"When my family was poor, we couldn't even eat, but my father was reluctant to sell those books, and he kept forcing me to learn all kinds of knowledge and etiquette, and I always wanted to run away, and even laughed at him. The glory of the Great Goblin Age was gone, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get them back. ”
With one hand behind his back, Abagon holds a teapot in his right hand to fill the tea for his master, and the amber tea flows out, filling the balcony with the smell of fragrance.
White shirt. The black butler dress, coupled with that confident smile, made the green-skinned goblin more professional than anyone else.
"Your father must have wanted to recreate the time of the Great Goblins. Downton smiled, "Besides, you don't have to go hungry to learn a skill, stealing, robbing, and one day you will be caught and hanged." ”
Or that remembrance is more appropriate, but it is actually a middle-aged goblin boring delusion. Abagun smiled self-deprecatingly, "If I hadn't met you, my master, I would have died in a cave in the wilderness, eaten by wild beasts." ”
The mainstream society will not recognize goblins, and Abagon has a deep understanding of going out to do business during this time, if it weren't for Andrea's golden signboard, even those few orders of business would not be able to be carried out, and the first thought of the merchant when he saw it, he had already regarded it as a thief.
"Don't talk about yourself so badly. Downton smiled, "What are you going to eat for dinner?"
"Sometimes I think that I am glad that the owner of the walnut caught me, otherwise I would not have met you. Agitated, Abagun knelt down to kiss Downton's boots, but he stopped him.
"There's plenty of food, but I'd suggest you throw those ogres back into the dragon hills sooner, they're too edible to eat, but they don't produce any value. Abagorn complained, "Also, you should write to Dophonk, when will you get the position of mayor of the town? ”
"I will. ”
As soon as Downton finished speaking, the door was slammed open, and Hu Tao rushed in, grabbed a handful of pastries, stuffed them into her mouth, and drilled under the table, muttering vaguely: "If Homer is looking for me, say I didn't see it." ”
Xia Luo burst out laughing, and it was no wonder that Homer couldn't hear the rustle of your pine trees.
"With Homer's wisdom, it doesn't even have to enter this door, you just go out. Downton teased.
"No, if I don't go out, what can it do?" Hu Tao showed his head, his little face full of puzzlement, "Abagon, give me a few more cakes, and add strawberries." ”
Abagon complied.
Butternut Beard ate Hesse, and complained by the way, "Homer must have tortured me on purpose, those topics are too difficult, I know the individual words, but when they are connected, who knows what it means? But Homer still has to ask me to do it within the specified time, and if I can't do it, I'm not allowed to eat, woo, I've eaten twice, no, I haven't eaten for five." ”
Hu Tao reached out and gestured with his left hand. I felt that five meals were not miserable enough, so I stuffed the cake in my right hand into my mouth and bit it, and then stretched out five fingers, "Ten tons." ”
Smack, the cake fell, and the walnut smacked. Hurriedly lowered his head, although he bit it before it hit the ground, but the inertia was too great, and he hit his head on the floor.
Little Lori frowned in pain.
"I thought you were just playing crazy and forgetting to eat. Downton rolled his eyes, and Elaine sewed a lion-puppet-style satchel for Walnut for her to put her groceries.
After the little Lori got it, she stuffed more than half of the snacks into it, so she wouldn't be hungry at all.
"Ugh. Hu Tao was dumbfounded, she was indeed playing, and she used to live alone alone. It takes a lot of effort to find food, and since following Downton, little Lori has never starved.
"Hu Tao, if you don't show up in the study for a minute, your homework will increase fivefold today, and you won't want to go out for a week to come. ”
Homer's warning floated up the balcony.
"Didn't hear, didn't hear!" Hu Tao squatted on the ground and covered his ears. "I didn't hear anything. ”
"Good, ten seconds passed. The strawberry cake you eat every day is gone. ”
Hu Tao swallowed his saliva, a little hesitant, but his mouth was still fierce, "One day, no, I can bear it if I don't eat for a week." ”
"Your orange juice is gone. The supply of all kinds of candy will also be cut off, by the way, don't you want to buy a giant doll and make up enough for a hundred teams, I will tell you clearly. Without. ”
Hu Tao compromised and wanted to come out, but after glancing at Downton and Xia Luo, he found that they looked at him and felt that he couldn't wipe his face.
"Hmph, if I have pocket money anyway, I can buy it secretly!"
Hu Tao smiled like a fox who had successfully stolen the grapes from the farmer's estate, and she thought she was smart, but the next second her smile froze.
"Of course, the most important thing is that all your pocket money is stopped, and I will tell Downton and Abagon that you don't want to get a single copper plate from them. ”
"Ahh
Hu Tao stood up in shock, but hit his head on the table, and immediately squatted down in pain.
"I'll count three, this is your chance to zuihou, one!"
"Don't shout, I just went out to pee and didn't run away. ”
Hu Tao made an excuse, got out from under the table, trotted and rushed, and after going out the door, he ran back after a few seconds, and explained to Downton, "I definitely don't study for pocket money, I want to be an honor student like a big brother, well, you must believe me." ”
Looking at Hu Tao who ran away, Downton took a sip of black tea, with a smile on his face, with Homer's teachings, and he didn't know what Hu Tao would do in the future?
"Big brother is amazing, Homer really didn't need to look for me, I ran out by myself. Hu Tao plunged into the study, still thinking about Downton's words, "When will I be like him?"
"Master, the Mondaccino merchant group belonging to the Lombard Empire will hold a large auction the day after tomorrow, do you want to participate?"
Abagon handed the auction list he had obtained after his investigation to the owner, "Because of the mystery, some valuable items are not listed on it, and they can only be seen in person." ”
"Can I get in?" Downton casually took the form and scanned it.
"Of course, but every guest who enters the venue needs to pay 100,000 gold coins as a deposit, which is also a proof of financial resources and identity. Abagun explained that this was a high-end auction, mainly for the upper class, and those small country nobles could not afford to pay the deposit even if they wanted to enter the eye-opening world.
"Do you think it's necessary?" asked Downton.
"You can broaden your horizons, or talk to the nobles, merchants, increase your network, and of course, the most important thing is to auction the goods. Abagon bowed down and explained, "I inquired, there will be a Dark Purgatory Walnut for sale at the auction, and there seem to be some precious magic materials in addition to this, but what are the three finale items, the secrecy is very strict, I didn't inquire." (To be continued......)
