Chapter 44: Prophecy (2)

After apprenticeship, Jiarong still had to go to the stop building every morning, but the "labor punishment" had already existed in name only, and the successive priest did not let her "work" at all, but began to teach her to carve.

It's a real carving, not a carving of a grunt stone. For the priest said that she could not carve the Gollum Stone until she had developed the strength and stability of her hands and was able to "walk" the knife on the stone as she pleased.

The first task is to carve a plum blossom out of a piece of frozen stone.

After picking up the knife, he realized that it was not easy to make the knife obedient, and then scrapped several stones in a row, and his hand was cut a few times by the knife......

It wasn't until the fourth stone that a plum blossom was carved out. She happily ran to the desk of the successor with the "plum blossom" in her hand.

I saw the winged rabbit lying on the big table boringly, looking at a small bamboo basket in front of him, which was full of milk and fruit, and was exuding an attractive aroma.

After a few moments, its body shifted a little towards the basket. After moving its position, it was quiet for a second.

Then the dark eyes flickered, and when he realized that no one was paying attention to it, he moved a little more in the direction of the basket...... Seeing that he was about to reach the milk and fruit in the basket, the basket suddenly flew into the sky.

The winged rabbit was very angry, flapped its wings and flew after the basket. But when he reached out to grab the milk in the basket, he found that his claws could not reach into the basket.

After a few attempts, it landed impatiently, returned to its original place, and looked at the priest with fire.

Then the basket fell back to the table.

This little episode, Jiarong has watched it several times today.

Today, the priest took out a piece of sea sapphire and said that he would carve a "winged rabbit" and let the winged rabbit be used as a model, and the reward was a basket of milk fruits.

At first, the winged rabbit made a heroic pose, then squatted, after a while it became lying on its stomach, and then its body became melted cream spread on the table.

In this long and boring "modeling career", the only pleasure of the Winged Rabbit is to keep trying to move in the direction of the basket, trying to steal a fruit, but every time he fails, he can only look at Jixing with a sad expression, as if to complain: "Can you hurry up? I'm hungry." ”

Ever since Jixing invited him to eat peaches, the Winged Rabbit likes to follow his master to the Jixing priest, because he can rub delicious fruits there.

After being forbidden to go to the botanical garden, Jiarong's standard of living plummeted, and it could only eat ordinary fruits and vegetables, which its owner had to spend money on. The owner is not distressed, it is distressed!

Go to the grass and graze? That's what it — would a clever winged rabbit do?

The priests often have "filial piety" from the botanical garden, such as freshly ripe salmon berries, spiny squash, tree grapes, and so on.

And these, as long as it is willing to sell and sell cute, the successive priests will give it most of their "filial piety". That's why today it's willing to deign to be a model.

Seeing Jiarong coming over with a "plum blossom", Ji Xing put down the carving knife and sea sapphire in his hand, "That's it for today!"

Before the words fell, the body of the winged rabbit had turned into a shadow, and appeared next to the basket, and it picked up a milk fruit with its two paws, and wanted to send it to its mouth, but when it came to its mouth, it stopped.

It delivered the first milk fruit to Jiarong, and the other to the succession priest, then flew back to the basket, picked up the third, and unceremoniously bit it.

"It's okay, you can find the feeling after practicing ten or eight more pieces. Jixing looked at Jiarong's hand, "You can go to Fuqiu Rui'er to ask for a bottle of hand ointment, that girl likes to toss all kinds of creams, honey and perfumes all day long, but the effect of the things she makes is really good, and the smell is good." ”

Jiarong looked at the wounds and redness on his hands, which he expected to be full of scars and calluses in the near future, similar to the bark of a camphor tree.

It seems that she is in desperate need of anti-inflammatories, hemostatic creams, and hand creams, and while her goal is to become an amazing archmage, it doesn't mean that being an archmage means being ugly and weird.

Although she grew up working with the old mage, who raised a flock of sheep in the mountains and opened a small orchard and vegetable patch behind the wooden house. Jiarong felt that it was used by the old mage to cultivate his mind and temperament, or to exercise his body and learn to work. Because the old mage never worried about his livelihood, he was always distressed by the cooing chickens with their feet tied, the horses of cloth, the fish in buckets, and the bundles of sugar beets that suddenly appeared at the door, because there were too many of them, and he had to find a way to give them away (because the people of the island always wanted to give him their possessions in exchange for shelter and help at critical moments). - But for the first time, I realized that labor would make my hands ugly.

"Then I'll go find Rui'er. Jiarong immediately said goodbye to the priest who succeeded him, walked out of the stop building, and walked to a small building next to him.

Rui'er likes flowers and plants, and when she is not in class, she is either in the botanical garden or in the laboratory building of the priest of Rain Valley.

As soon as Jiarong walked to the door of the small building, he saw Le Zhengming coming out of the courtyard, and turned back as he walked and said, "Rui'er, I'm leaving, you're welcome." ”

Suddenly saw Jiarong standing in front, he was obviously stunned, surprised, angry, and overwhelmed, all kinds of emotions rushed to appear on his face, and finally he snorted to the side of the road to express his disdain, and walked away with his arrogant head.

Rui'er was very happy to see Jiarong: "Why are you here? I was going to come to you later." ”

Jiarong saw Rui'er holding a beautiful small gift box with a bow tied on it, and realized that it should be given by Le Zhengming just now.

Rui'er saw Jiarong's gaze stay in her hand, "Oh, this is Viburnum Bean, Vilindorfer's Viburnum Beans are of the best quality, Le Zhengming said that his family's caravan had just returned from Villandover, and he brought a lot of spices, and he knew that I wanted some Viburnum Beans, so he brought me some." ”

Jiarong knows that everyone has the freedom to make their own friends, and Le Zhengming is a villain who "bullies the weak" in his eyes, but it doesn't mean that Rui'er should think so.

Because in this world, there is a world of difference between nobles and commoners, not to mention that they are not even commoners.

"I wanted to ask you for a bottle of hand cream, and Mr. Jixing said that the hand cream you made was the best. Jiarong stretched out his hand to show Rui'er, "I'm practicing carving stones right now." ”

"Well, come with me, I've just mixed a few bottles of hand cream, and I'm going to give them to you later. Rui'er pulled Jiarong into a laboratory.

There were a lot of long tables in this house, and a lot of strangely shaped bottles and tubes, some bubbling, some of which were constantly sparking, and the kind of sparks that absolutely no fireplace in the world would ever come from.

Jiarong not only sighed, but it turned out that the "laboratory" of this world was also very decent! Not all herbs were just like the Jasmine Witch who used a stone mill to pound and boil it in a black clay pot.
