Chapter 40: Shop opening

Li Jun's fingers tapped rhythmically and gently on the armrest, and the crisp sound of "Dangdang" kept ringing.

"Every animal trainer has the title of nobility, and the official position ranges from the fourth rank to the first rank, although they are all fictitious positions, but the benefits are the same as those of the ministers who hold real power. ”

"This kind of profession is said to be rarer than magicians, but because of the limitations of practicality, it does not have the status of magicians......"

Beast tamer is a special profession that has the natural ability to communicate with Warcraft.

This innate ability is basically innate, and few people can develop it the day after tomorrow.

Warcraft is violent by nature, even if it is a captive Warcraft, if there is no animal tamer to communicate day and night, take care of it, and smooth out the violent nature of Warcraft, there is still not much difference as wild.

And the value of the animal trainer is only here, when it comes to the practicality of a single one, it is indeed very valuable, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold.

But looking at it as a whole, it has no other use than being able to domesticate magical beasts, and naturally it can't be compared to a noble magician.

However, animal trainers are more popular than magicians in the worldly empire, because every animal trainer is an indispensable and valuable asset for the sake of the empire's interests and long-term foundations.

The animal tamer who entered Tveron City was the minister of the second rank of the imperial official residence, and the honor guard opened the way in front, and the guards were all around, and the pomp and circumstance were amazing.

Since coming to another world, Li Jun found that his knowledge and experience were too little and too narrow, and he only understood the situation around him. Therefore, Li Jun decided to go to the book museum in Tveron City to have a detailed understanding of the situation of the animal trainer.

The book museum of this third-class city has a history of several decades since its establishment, and displays a variety of books.

Through books, you can learn about the outside world, and from the words, it is not difficult to imagine the colorful and vast geography and human features of the outside world.

Beast trainers generally serve the royal family, and most of their jobs are in the military headquarters or on the frontiers of the empire.

Like messenger birds, the major empires generally use the blue-horned eagle, a first-class magical beast, as a messenger to fly to the sky.

The blue-horned eagle is larger than the average goshawk, more powerful, and more muscular, but in terms of flight speed, it is inferior to the average bird that is known for its speed.

However, in order to ensure the safety of the letter and deliver it back in a timely and accurate manner, if you domesticate a small bird that is known for its speed, it is likely to become food for large birds, and the letter will be swallowed or lost.

"Huh?" When Li Jun continued to browse the next page, he found that in the first paragraph of the next page, there was an animal trainer who had said: There is a bird that is most suitable as a messenger to the sky.

The page records that in ancient times, there was an ancient book left in the world, and the name of that ancient book was: "Erya Shidi"

"In the south, there are winged birds, which are not better than flying, and their names are called the birds. It is like a bird, blue and red, the color of this bird is green with red, it is good at speed, it is the most birdy, small and shrewd, long play with large birds, wander in the vast long space, is the most angry and helpless opponent of the king of the sky......

The winged bird also symbolizes love, and people always see two birds in pairs, and when one dies, the other dies in pain. ”

Li Jun was stunned for a moment, he remembered that "Erya Shidi" was the ninth chapter of "Erya", and was respected by Confucian sages as the ancestor of dictionaries.

The upper limit of the completion of the Erya will not be earlier than the Warring States period in China, because some of the materials used in the book come from books such as Chu Ci, Liezi, Zhuangzi, and LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn, and these books are works of the Warring States period.

Historically, "Erya" has been highly regarded. This is due to the fact that "Erya" summarizes and explains the ancient meanings of many ancient words in the ancient books of the pre-Qin period, and has become an important tool for Confucian scholars to read and understand the scriptures.

Learning "Erya" can be "naturalistic and not confused", know more about the names of birds, beasts, plants, trees, insects and fish, and increase various knowledge. In the Han Dynasty, Erya was regarded as a Confucian classic. When Tang Wenzong carved the stone scriptures during the opening of the year, they were included in the scripture department. In the Song Dynasty, it was listed as one of the Thirteen Classics.

In fact, Erya is not a scripture, nor is it a vassal of a certain scripture, it is an independent dictionary. With the help of this dictionary, people can read ancient books, conduct research on ancient vocabulary, learn about ancient societies, and increase their knowledge.

The pages record that "Erya Shidi" is an ancient book left in the world in ancient times...... But how did the books of the Warring States period fall here? Could it be ......that the books of the Warring States Period were reduced to this? A certain ancient figure, like me, has crossed over here?" Li Jun was a little confused.

After rummaging through the entire book museum, Li Jun finally found the ancient book "Erya Shidi" on a shelf.

Preface description: When I first encountered "Erya Shidi", people were shocked by the book outside the gods, the ancient characters are different from the Chinese languages of the ancient continent, like strange books in the outer world, which were regarded as treasures by the major ancient empires, and each copied a copy and left it in the imperial archives.

It took another hundred years to gather countless sages and sages to study painstakingly, and finally cracked the mystery of the text of "Erya Shidi", translated it into a book, and distributed it to the world.

A few years later, it was destroyed in a war and disappeared, grinding into dust with the smoke of history.

Li Jun stood in place, silent for a long time.

The era of great sacrifices, which is older than the Yu Xia Dynasty and the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the ancient books of the Warring States Period, and the winged birds that the Chinese ancestors imagined to symbolize love, have all manifested their traces in the other world.

"Is it an accidental coincidence, or is it an arrangement in the dark?" Li Jun sighed lightly, his thoughts were mixed, and he was even more confused and confused.

The winged bird is one of the most difficult monsters to tame, they are loyal to their love, they never leave their lovers, and no one can tear them apart unless they both die.

Coming to a shop selling magical beasts, Li Jun bought two pairs of winged birds, he released one, held a sharp knife, and pressed it on its fragile neck, but the latter did not have the slightest intention of escaping, but instead spun around outside the birdcage, "squeaking" non-stop, as if comforting his other half.

"What a good bird!" Li Junmiao sighed, the knife cut his finger, and after a light thought, two drops of blood fell on the eyebrows of the winged bird, and under the "buzzing" trembling, the blood-colored sacrifice text disappeared, and two unfamiliar memories suddenly appeared in his mind.

Walking on the streets, Li Jun's thoughts were complicated, and he still couldn't solve the doubts in "Erya Shidi".

"In addition to me, how many other traversers were there before me?" Li Jun muttered to himself, feeling that the road ahead was like an unfathomable quagmire, becoming more and more mysterious and strange.

Around and around, it was already five o'clock in the evening.

The sun was about to set, the fiery clouds were in patches, and a curved moon was faintly visible in the clouds.

At night, there is always a mysterious man wearing a silver mask who walks into a certain shop and negotiates the price with the owner who intends to sell it. After buying some necessary and simple things, through the hands of a thin and fierce person, he handed over the title deed and bet his name...... Li Jun's first commercial store in another world is officially opened.

There were no firecrackers, salutes, and no horn passers-by, just hung up a sign, opened the door, and silently completed the preparations for the opening.

"Bird Zhaitang" - Li Jun personally mentioned the words and named this shop.

There is nothing else to sell in the Bird Hall, only one kind of magical beast is sold, and that is the domesticated winged bird!

Everyone knows that the winged bird is one of the most difficult to domesticate the magical beasts, unless the two winged birds are completely domesticated, otherwise if you put one and keep one, the one that is released will only stay around the birdcage, waiting for your other half, and will not leave half a step. Even if you are hungry and thirsty, you will not leave until you starve to death and die of thirst!

The small and cute winged bird is proud and uninhibited, and even the best animal tamer cannot make it bow its head and become a messenger to the sky.

Although countless years ago, there was a certain animal trainer who said: Although the winged bird is the most outstanding messenger flying to the sky, but after thousands of years of wind and rain, under the painstaking research of many animal trainers, it still cannot completely domesticate the winged bird and become a slave of humans.

From time to time, there are winged birds flying into the sky, they don't know where to go, they don't know where to go, and the manpower, material resources, and financial resources consumed, in the end, the bamboo basket is empty.

Eight o'clock in the evening is the beginning of the nightlife in Tveron.

There are all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, including honest commoners, idle gangsters, mercenaries who fight fiercely, adventurers who are full of pride, and more rich and nobles with a lot of wealth.

The chaotic night city is full of laughter and laughter, warblers and swallows, lightboats on the shore of the creek and lake, seductive cries of "babbling" from time to time, several storey rubble houses, painted with gold paint, illuminated by pearls, and countless singers and ladies, wearing thin shirts, to solicit customers.

The "talent market" in Tveron City is always the most lively venue.

The official face means "talent market", but in reality, it is nothing more than a place for the slave trade.

The composition of slaves was generally composed of defeated prisoners of the enemy country, commoners who committed serious crimes, and nobles.

Of course, there are also many slaves of unknown origin and clear identity, but once they are sold to the black market, branded as slaves, and after a few years of hard work, the government cancels the nationality of the missing person, and after considering him dead, he becomes a slave if he is not a slave, because his identity is no longer available in the government, and the identity of the citizen is no longer available in the archives and the identity of the people.

Naturally, those who have the ability to cover the sky with one hand and make a good citizen into a slave are all powerful and monstrous, because of various interests, it is difficult for them to turn over because of this strategy.

There are many people in the "talent market", most of them are luxuriously dressed, either squires and wealthy people, or government officials and aristocrats.

The girl with the red fruit was the most crowded, followed by a tall and strong burly man, who only wore a trouser cloth around his crotch, which attracted many noble ladies to make a provocative cry to him.

Li Jun walked through most of the "talent market" with his hands behind his back, and suddenly, he found an old man in his fifties somewhere.

The old man was dirty and black, his black hair was messy, and his face was stiff, but his eyes were shining, faintly shrewd and indifferent.

His skin is not the white of an otherworldly person, but the yellow skin that is peculiar to Asians.

The old man is not tall, only about one meter or six, standing upright, some hunchbacked, slightly white sideburns, black hair, mixed with a few white silks.

Li Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, pointed at the old man, and asked the dealer, "How much is he worth?" ”

The dealer looked at Li Jun, who was dressed in a white magician robe in front of him, and his originally bent waist was bent even deeper, his smile was flattering, revealing a row of big yellow teeth, and said: "Your Excellency the Honorable Magician, you know that yellow people have always been a scarce race......

The peddler paused, put on a look of "hesitation", and said bitterly: "That's it! Since it is the honorable magician who wants to buy him, then the humble Chilinek will give up the price of thirty percent...... How about four gold coins?"

Li Jun nodded, without too much hesitation, took out four golden gold coins from his arms, and threw them to the disgusting dealer with big yellow teeth and compliments on his disgusting look.

.........

Inside the Torisai Hall.

"What's your name?"

"Returning to my lord, your humble servant's name is Nezak. ”

β€œ...... What's your real name?"

"Yes, master. ”

"But you're a yellow caste, and I remember that there is no surname in the yellow caste. ”

"No, my master, Nezak is my name, not my surname, my surname is Bachafi. I heard that it was my ancestor who worked as a maid in a certain nobleman's mansion and was given the surname by the master's family......"

"So my full name is: Nezak Maritusen Bachaf. ”

Li Jun sighed, almost forgetting that there is a very different difference between the surnames of people in other worlds and those of Orientals, often dragging a large list of names, and finally embellishing a surname.

"It's too long and cumbersome, so you can change your name to Zach in the future, stay here, and take care of this bird restaurant for me. Li Jun said.

Without waiting for Zach to raise his head and refuse in fear, Li Jun cut his index finger and squeezed out a drop of essence blood, which was quickly imprinted on Zack's eyebrows.

Because of excessive panic and uneasiness, when Zack reacted, he had already been branded by Li Jun with a sacrificial text, and his eyes were stunned for a short time, so he respectfully bowed to Li Jun sincerely.

Li Jun's face was slightly pale, after all, human beings are different from Warcraft, they have advanced intelligence, and their soul consciousness is more complex than Warcraft.

This is still the case of Zack's distraction, which was successfully domesticated by Li Jun, and if there is a slight resistance, the domestication will be even more difficult.
