Chapter 392: The Rules of the Apprentice

Cheese made an outfit for his apprentice out of bear-like hair mixed with dwarven clothes, but the tough spellcaster apparently didn't study the costume design, at least in terms of the appearance of the garment, he could only stay at the aesthetic stage.

If the texture of Yoni's coat made his thin figure less pronounced, but added a bit of fierce wildness, then the hair on his pants made the child look like a wild man. Bears, long and short, are randomly distributed on clothing, with no pattern or pattern. Such clothes may be practical, but they certainly won't be respected.

"Well, that's why you men are like that. After a brief moment of shock, the old dwarven woman, who had watched Cheese turn the blanket into clothing, said in a complaining tone, "There is no room for anything but your own theory." The old man of my family, too, only pursued bigger stones, better cuts, and never cared that the jewelry he gave me didn't fit together with my clothes. You are all too paranoid, paranoid in your own field, and as soon as you quit, you become like children. This can also be called clothes, and wearing them out is not a joke. ”

Cheese scratched his cheeks in embarrassment, as if he had heard the same thing from Elsa's mouth. It is also true that he always shows a nonchalant attitude towards such questions that have no clear answers, not that he does not think they are important, but that he does not know which direction to think in the absence of a goal.

Obviously, what he thinks has no answer may not seem to others. Out of nowhere, the old woman took out a pair of scissors and some leather rope and trimmed the weave on Uniti's body. The mage did not stop it, the clothing was completed, and the modification of the appearance did not affect its effect.

When the two walked out of the blanket shop, Cheese was still wearing the same trademark gray robe, but Yoni beside him had changed. The hair that had been loose was tied into multiple dwarven-style braids with leather ropes, and the untreated hair that fell out of it just covered the slightly raised antlers on the forehead. The fur garment was tied with interlocking knots that ran along the shoulders to the cuffs, and the back and chest were made by the dwarven knots like a stomach, and I am afraid that no ordinary knife would be able to cut through the ropes that surrounded the clothing.

As for the trousers, the style of the jacket was generally continued, but the old woman still cut out some of the remaining leather parts of the blanket as a material, making the overall look much smoother. If there is a problem, it is that such clothing is equivalent to wearing most of the blankets on the body, and the weight is definitely not light.

With the physical condition of the apprentice, the weight is no less than that of a normal person walking in a heavy armor. It's just that Yuni's appearance doesn't look bad, not to mention that he can't walk, not only is his body straighter when he wears this clothes, but even his eyes seem to be brighter, and his steps are much stronger than before.

Cheese naturally knows why, as he said before, the fur of the man-bear is not only warm and cold, it will give strength to the wearer, but also corrode the wearer's mind. The former is more significant, while the latter tends to require a longer process.

At present, Yuni only feels power, and when he rejoices in it and becomes dependent on it, the corrosion of his mind begins. However, the mage had no intention of destroying his apprentice, and it was not difficult to get rid of the resentment in the garment, and if it was necessary to continue after the incident, the cheese would work on it again.

Besides, there are some things that the mage doesn't have to worry about, and someone secretly helps. The knots that the old woman had woven on her apprentice were not casually braided. Like the knots that Cheese saw on the prairie symbolizing the worm god, similar cases of knotted ropes as signs and symbols are not unique to all races and cultures, and are said to have been used in knots long before the development of language and writing. This ancient way of remembering gives meaning to the knots, turning them into magical symbols in another sense, such as the big dwarf knot on Yoni's chest.

"When we get back, you're going to go to the lady and learn how to tie these knots on you, and that will be your second trial. Cheese looked ahead and said suddenly.

The apprentice nodded ignorantly, he didn't understand what it meant, but at this stage he just needed to know to obey the cheese's request unconditionally, after all, the gray-robed man gave him clothes, shelter, food, and the identity to live. For this child, there is nothing more to ask for, and his very limited experience makes him unable to think of any shortcomings in such a life.

In such simple thought, the footsteps ahead of him stopped, and Yoni looked up and saw a creature he had never seen before, his upper body was a man, but the lower half of his body had hair and hooves.

"You're late. Charon tilted his head to look at the dwarven-dressed human boy beside Cheese, and there was no displeasure in his tone. He was the one in charge of bringing Cheese and his henchmen to the designated meeting point, for which he paid a reasonable commission, but under a different name, and the seasoned owner of the horse shop had long since known not to delve into every transaction he made.

"On the way, I went to buy clothes. Cheese shrugged, pleased that Jung had hired a delivery man he knew, and that it wouldn't be an accident. The power of the river meant it to spy on everyone Cheese had come into contact with in the city without magic, and to deduce his demands and other things in reverse.

It's not all bad, and it's not a good thing. But at least when the benefits of the river are the same as those of the gray robe, it is convenient. Therefore, there was no need for the cheese to look for it, but a familiar owner of the horse dealer came to drive it for him, and the car he drove was also a four-wheeled carriage of the right appearance and size.

"Well, it's really necessary. I don't know or intend to know exactly what you're going to do, but it can work at any time. It's like you wouldn't just take a horse with a saddle. In my hometown, stealing livestock, especially horses, is punishable by death. Therefore, there are many poor people in the story who were killed because they touched a horse that was deliberately saddled. You see, rules are always going to be taken advantage of, by good guys, by bad guys. The half-sheep man spread out his hands and told the story with spit flying. Cheese just shoved a coin into his hand, pulled open the door and got in.

Once he and Yoni were seated, the carriage began to move slowly with a soft shout. The young apprentice was apparently calling this vehicle for the first time, his hands pressed to his seat and his face nervous. Cheese watched him silently, and the latter quickly realized that he wouldn't be thrown out even if he didn't hold on to anything, because his mentor proved it with his body.

"Regarding the rules, I would like to give you a few words in advance. We'll meet some people later, each with their own rules, but those rules are theirs, and when you need to be with them, follow it as much as possible. But if it's beyond your boundaries, don't hesitate to step on it and its owner is the right thing to do. And at this stage, your bottom line is only two, one, alive. Two, look at me, learn as much as you can learn. If someone wants you to die, run. If you can't run, you will find an opportunity to kill him. If someone asks you to leave my side, it probably means the same as wanting you to die. Got it?"

After the apprentice nodded, Cheese smiled in satisfaction and pulled two items out of the mezzanine of his robes and gave them to him. One is a talisman, and the other is a sewing needle.
