Chapter 18: Peace of mind and wide of the world
On November 11, 18012 in the Magic Empire calendar, it took nearly a month to delay Edison before he was really on his way.
But this time, he didn't receive everyone's farewell, nor did he have the advice of his parents.
Because three days ago, Edison's parents had rushed to the Central Continent in the teleportation array, leaving only a teleportation crystal and a "skill spirit" in his hands.
According to the results of the deliberations of several people, in the next few years, they will not have the opportunity to return here, and the entire baron's territory will be temporarily entrusted to the Magic Guild, and of course, the hundred or so coolies who bought themselves will be handed over.
Edison has also decided that before he can completely grasp the lust/lust spirit, he will reduce its source of power, and he will write books in the future to reduce some hints, and even write more positive energy books such as "The Education of Love", "Aesop's Fables", "Psychological Chicken Soup" in his previous life, and some pure love novels, after all, the power of faith generated in this way can purify the lust/lust elves......
Edison patrolled the rooms, corridors, and corridors that he was once familiar with, and after the family left, there would only be 3~5 people in the place, and they would clean it regularly once a week, so the whole house was deserted now.
At first glance, some of the decorations that were prone to gray were covered with a white cloth, and the original living room seemed much more empty, in fact, many of the furnishings and furniture were put away, and some of the things that could be taken away for their own use were also emptied, and some of the things that were not easy to break were distributed by the mother to the maids who helped to clean the house.
Edison always felt an indescribable discomfort when he looked at this home that was deserted in an instant, and after his last round of inspection, he walked to the door, but before he could make a move, the door opened by itself.
The person who opened the door was startled. After taking a few steps back and seeing the people in the door clearly, he said in a panic: "Ah, young master, you haven't left yet?"
Edison didn't care, but responded kindly, "yes! I didn't expect ...... The world is unpredictable!" he sighed slightly.
The person who came was actually Edison's maid who had taught him when he was a child, named Hazy Marbell, and it is said that she had an older brother named Mu Marbell.
It's a pity that he went out in his early years, and he was quite famous, and he sent a lot of money back to his family, but then he disappeared somehow.
In the end, it was the mother who fell in love with the limbs and seemingly harmless face that Mabel had exercised by doing housework for many years when she was pregnant, and in the blink of an eye, she had been working in Edison's house for decades. It's an outsider that their family trusts.
Edison didn't care what she said, and after a simple sentence of emotion, he threw down a sentence: "Then I'll leave, I'll leave it to you here." He strode forward.
Looking at his distant back, Mabel came back to his senses, plucked up the courage and said loudly: "I believe that the young master made the right choice, those people ran out to gossip, and they just came to make trouble. ”
Edison paused. The corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, but he didn't turn around. He just waved his hand back and said loudly, "I've proven me right!"
Just walking, Edison's steps were much lighter.
Mabel looked at the somewhat boyish Edison, and with a faint smile on her face, she turned and entered the empty mansion.
......
All the way out of the city, everyone on the street who recognized Edison avoided him. Although it has only been half a month since the release of this [petrochemical disease] epidemic to the announcement of the lifting of the epidemic.
But for the people of this world, it is enough for them to be uneasy. Because for most people, the world with magical existence makes their bodies very healthy. It is also rare to get sick.
But once they get sick, their mortality rate is unusually high, and most of those who die of the disease do not get timely treatment.
Among them, words like "contagion" and "plague" are very scary things for ordinary people. But Edison, however, made a petrification disease that even ordinary magicians were not immune to, which undoubtedly caused great panic in a small town.
Later, when the news of the gamble spread, Edison himself admitted that his unintentional actions caused the spread of the virus, which invisibly deepened people's fears.
Ordinary people don't care what is behind this, and it doesn't matter whether you have indirectly saved them, taking quotes out of context and deliberately exaggerating is the best way for rumors and gossip to spread quickly and survive.
Therefore, in less than a month, the rumor even turned out that Edison was a poison potion magician who studied the plague virus, so he could unknowingly kill those alien rumors.
While the Magic Guild knew what had happened, and had made some necessary official statements, some of the wise people would not have believed such nonsense.
But in this era, after all, there is no such thing as the Internet and television, and all kinds of gossip are the facts that people want to believe.
So under the three of them, Edison's reputation in this small city not only became well-known, but also notorious, and the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles is actually the same thing.
If it weren't for the fact that Edison's art elves had been scrapped, if it weren't for the fact that he could still gain the power of faith without the art elves, if ...... In short, if it weren't for the current Edison, it doesn't matter whether he is famous or not, he can get the power of faith from it, and at this time, Edison probably wants to eat the people who spread rumors.
But in his heart, Edison still silently wrote down a big account for the 'passer-by face', although I don't know why he wanted to yin himself, but Edison is not a person who has revenge and does not take revenge.
Of course, such a reputation will still cause him some inconveniences, such as: when the first adventurer called out the name Edison Tesla in the Magic Guild, in less than 1 minute, the people in the hall walked away with various excuses, and only Jessica in front of the service desk watched this scene with a wry smile. Then he regretfully informed Edison that no caravan was willing to accept a man suspected of playing "Plague" and almost killing a city of people on the road.
At this point, Edison had to embark on a study tour alone......
"Whew! It looks like it's no different from going out of the city usually, but it's a little colder!" Edison comforted himself.
But after walking a short distance, the air became moist, in his soul sense. The water element, air element, and thunder element all began to produce restless restlessness, which was the rhythm of the approaching rainstorm!
It's a pity that there is a plain area nearby, and there are no caves, but this is difficult for Edison, who was fully prepared, and a tent was quickly set up by him, a tent made of first-class water system monster skin, which can provide good shelter from the wind and rain.
It was a stormy night, but when he started to rush the next day, Edison's face was a little ugly.
......
Because of the mud of the road after the rain, he could only stagger down the road. What's even more hateful is that the places where the caravans have walked will leave mud mixed with feces and urine every other way, which is extremely disgusting!
Not long after walking, a mage robe and shoes and pants he was wearing were also full of muddy water, which made Edison look a lot embarrassed.
And if someone gets closer, you can even hear Edison muttering:
"I knew it was going to rain, so I had to change my name and mix in the caravan and set off together......"
"Mistake, too economical, should have bought a camel beast's ......"
"This road needs to be repaired! If you want to get rich, you must first build a road." One by one, they thought that everything would be fine with the teleportation magic array, but it simply lagged behind the development of people's production! Complaints like that.
At the same time, the muddy road not only made it more difficult for him to walk. It also quickly consumed Edison's physical strength, and even with the blessing of the [Light Body Technique], after walking for most of the day, the feeling of hunger turned him into a hunter with green eyes.
After a while, an unlucky demon rabbit who had just come out of the hole was caught by the "mage's hand". Before it could struggle and flutter a few times, Edison skillfully gave it a brainstorm. Easily knocked out the creature called the Demon Rabbit.
You don't have to look at the rabbit in the name of this thing, and it looks a bit like a rabbit in the previous life, but in fact, it is not a grass eater, but an unscrupulous carnivore, and its sharp claws and teeth are the best offensive weapons of the demon rabbit, by the way. Their most commonly eaten prey is actually the gopher.
And the best way to cook and eat this magic rabbit is also quite strange!
According to Lancer's teachings, Edison had to first skin it alive, take out the whole rabbit brain, and then pull out his paws and wash it as a knife, remove the internal organs and dirty blood, and then stuff the rabbit brain into the original stomach space, and then wrap a layer of fresh and wide twilight tree leaves, and then wrap it in a layer of thin soil, this thin mud is best to use the soil in front of the demon rabbit's own nest, and finally put on the bloody skin and throw it into the red-hot charcoal fire, and take it out after half an hour, this is a super delicacy - braised mud rabbit.
As for the origin of this dish, it is said that there is a magician who is proficient in fire magic, and after not being able to catch the magic rabbit at one time, he directly heated the entire ground with a range magic, and then dug up the red-hot ground, although the meat of the demon rabbit was burnt, but the rabbit brain was unexpectedly delicious, so on this basis, he invented the current way to eat.
Staring at this dish, Edison couldn't help but drool, speaking of which, it has to be said that it was Edison's luck to catch such a magic rabbit at this time, if it weren't for the heavy rain pouring into the hiding hole, such a magic rabbit would not be so easily exposed.
Edison's Diaries: November 12 of the Magic Empire calendar.
"Yesterday the rainstorm was very strong, but I didn't get wet, although the road is difficult to walk today, but also sent a magic rabbit, people will not always be unlucky, tomorrow will be better, as for the 'passerby face' brought bad luck, it must have left me. (smiley)"
(Appeared, oh, a group of friends booked two dragon sets - Hazy Mabel, Mu Mabel)
...... (To be continued.) )
PS: (PS: I'm actually very busy today, I have to hand in my papers tomorrow, and I have to pass the Lantern Festival in advance tomorrow, so there are a lot of things to die today, but it's incredible that as soon as I conceived the novel, my heart was unexpectedly quiet, and then I would probably use the speed of one more a day and two more occasionally, and slowly show this "In the World" to everyone. And if you can, I also hope that before reading this book every day, you can prepare a glass of warm water, drink it slowly, read it carefully, and then go to bed early!
