There was a well in the yard, and Emma dragged the ooze monster to the edge of the well.

The well was so deep that a bundle of thick rope hung a small wooden bucket and tied it to a roller that was erected over the well. Emma often saw his old butler Arenas operate this, and by shaking the rope to fill the little barrel with water, and then shaking the wheel to roll the rope up, the water would be lifted. However, shaking the barrel, which seemed to be a very simple task, stumped him, and no matter how hard he swung his arms from side to side, the barrel always floated on the surface of the water with the barrel mouth facing up, and could not hold water at all.

After a while, Emma, who was sweating profusely, sat down on the edge of the well, and he decided to give up this work, this kind of hard work was really not something that a young master like him could do well. He gasped for breath and couldn't help but kick the ooze monster.

"Huh?" Emma noticed the anomaly, how did she feel that the color of the ooze monster had faded? It's no longer the kind of gray color that can't be seen through, but it seems to be a little translucent?

Emma crouched down and looked closely at the ooze monster underground, and he noticed that not only had its color faded, but it also seemed to have changed its appearance. Before, the skin of the soft mud monster was gray and a little pitted, and when it was a little hard to the touch, it was only slightly softer than the bark, but now it is not only translucent and smooth, but also soft and elastic to the touch. Well, it's like ...... Jelly?

"Jelly?" Emma exclaimed, and he jumped up from the ground, and he was startled by himself. The thought came straight to his mind, and he knew very well that this food was called 'jelly'—it was a sweet, semi-solid, made of edible gelatin with water, sugar, and fruit juice; Also known as gel, the appearance is crystalline, the color is bright, and the taste is soft and smooth; You can also add a variety of fruits to the jelly to make it taste better......

However, Emma is well aware that there is absolutely no word for 'jelly' in the continent of Ossolas, not even the concept of 'sweet'. Yes, there is still no 'sugar', the only sweet thing is honey, not to mention 'edible gelatin' and 'gel'.

That's why Emma was startled by herself, and at this moment he was extremely sure that something was stuck in his head. His mind was confused, even a little panicked, if it was just this strange knowledge, it would be a good thing, but what if it was a soul? The term 'snatching' came from the 'where to eat' empire, and it was natural for him to think of it.

Emma squatted on the ground and touched the body of the soft mud monster in a daze, and for a while her head felt a little swollen, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts were intertwined into a mess.

Just then, the gate of the courtyard was opened, and an old man pushed the door and walked in. The old man was dressed in a neat robe, the pattern was elegant but not gorgeous, and there were no accessories on his body. He was tall and thin, with gray hair tied up in a ponytail and scattered behind him, and his long beard was completely white, meticulously groomed. The complexion is ruddy but not old, the face is angular, the eyes are shrewd and calm, and at first glance you know that she is a very decisive character.

The old man saw Emma squatting on the ground in a daze, and called, "Young Master Emma, I'm back." ”

Emma gave the old man a blank look and said weakly, "Oh, Arenas." ”

Arenas frowned, "What's wrong with you?" What are you doing squatting on the ground? ”

Emma said blankly, "yes, what are you doing on the ground?" ”

Arenas was startled and hurriedly stepped forward: "Young Master Emma! ”。 He stretched out his hand to pull Emma, but Emma subconsciously dodged, but her legs and feet were numb and fell backwards, and she stumbled and almost hit the back of her head on the edge of the well, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

Luckily, Arenas was quick and grabbed Emma so he didn't let his head hit him. Startled by this, Emma came to her senses: "Oops, Arenas, you're back." ”

Arenas helped him to his feet, frowned, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Emma said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm just thinking about things and I'm a little fascinated." ”

Arenas looked at him carefully, and there was nothing wrong with him, before he said, "It's okay." The carriage is still outside, so I'm going to rush in. ”

Outside the door was a horse-drawn carriage, unadorned and windowless, and pitch black, as if it were a large box with a door. Arenas quickly drove the carriage into the house, closed the door, and opened the door of the carriage, which contained several large boxes.

There was a secret cellar in the corner of the courtyard, and Arenas made several trips back and forth, moving the boxes into the cellar one by one, and then restoring the cellar to its original state.

Emma watched from the side and didn't bother, he knew that the box was full of gold coins, probably a box of gold coins or two thousand gold coins. Half a month ago, he didn't have enough money to spend, so he asked Arenas to go home and get the money. He was still thinking about those strange things in his head, and he hesitated to tell Arenas about it.

The chest full of gold was a bit heavy, but Arenas moved it effortlessly, without the slightest breath. When he saw that Emma was still standing thoughtfully by the well, he asked, "Why, hasn't the potion matter progressed yet?" ”

Emma shook her head, a little worried about the potion.

Arenas shook his head secretly, he saw the young master's diligence, but some things are not useful just by hard work. The father and son are extremely persistent in this matter, he knows the reason, and he can only let the gold coins continue to burn. He said: "If it doesn't work, just take it slowly, don't be too anxious, maybe you can think of other ways." ”

Emma said, "There is a solution. The Andrew family has a place for exemption from the exam, and I have a chance to get it now. ”

Arenas's eyes lit up and said, "It's a good idea to pass the test first with this place, and then you can find a way to increase your strength when you have time." How much does it cost? ”

Emma said, "It's not something that money can do. He didn't hide it, so he sat on the edge of the well and briefly talked about Yuehuacao, of course, he didn't say anything about being struck by lightning.

Arenas didn't know about it, and he hurried to get the money. Worried about Emma's safety, he didn't stop along the way and went straight home without going to find out the news. Emma was the only one with Arenas to take care of, and he had been following a low-key strategy until now, and he didn't bring much people with him. Later, the gold coins were spent, and they became famous, but they have been in the laboratory of the academy, hardly going out, and they are safe, so they don't think about increasing the number of people.

Arenas listened to Emma talk about his experience, a little frightened and a little scared. An ordinary fat man, following such a 'little strength' scout, dares to break into the moonlight swamp with spatial cracks, and can come back completely, it is really the blessing of the god of law. However, he has always been calm, and now that the person has returned safely, it doesn't matter. Young Master Emma, like Master Nord, often seems to be extremely risky in doing things, but in fact he is quite safe.

After talking about the experience of the Moonlight Swamp, Emma told her about going to meet Angelina Magister, and asked Arenas to help analyze the pros and cons.

Arenas muttered, "Actually, there is nothing to hesitate about, since she is willing to let the scout accompany you, then it represents the will of Magister Angelina herself." This promise of the Andrew family will not be a problem at all. ”

Emma said: "I'm just hesitant to delay it for a few days, and then I can get more benefits." I believe that I am the only one in my hand at the moment. ”

Arenas said, "Can they do anything good to make the young master worry?" ”

Emma spread her hands and said, "I don't know, it would be easier if I knew." He has been educated by successful businessmen for a long time, and at this time he has some habits to maximize profits. However, he is not short of money, except for this exemption place, he really doesn't know what benefits he can get, and he is not short of money.

Arenas smiled: "Young Master, in fact, I think the sooner this matter is, the better. Since you can't think of it, it's simple and simple to just need this quota to avoid recurring. If the Andrew family is kind, they will naturally remember the young master's favor. ”

Emma nodded, "That's right, let's go in the afternoon." ”

At this time, Emma's mind gradually became clear, and it was best for Arenas to protect him in the last few days, because the uncertain factor in his mind was there, and he couldn't tell when he fell asleep that his head would explode, and someone had to wake him up. The incident that was struck by lightning and the 'where to eat' empire in the other world is too weird, this secret must not be said, only a reason can be made.

Emma's eyes rolled and she thought to herself: "Arenas, my mental power has often been extremely violent recently, and sometimes when I fall asleep, I feel like my head is about to burst, you must look at me a little." ”

Arenas was shocked: "How can this be? ”

Emma said, "I don't know, I suspect it has something to do with my new pet." ”

Arenas wondered, "Demon pet? ”

Emma said, "Yes, I recently accidentally got a high-level magic scroll, which can be used to sign a master-servant contract with Warcraft. I took it with me when I went to the Moonlight Swamp, but I found a mutated ooze monster in the swamp and used it. ”

Arenas looked at Emma with a black line, a high-level magic contract was used on the ooze monster? However, this thing seems reasonable, that is, this kind of high-level magic contract can only be used by ordinary people, and with Emma's strength, it is estimated that he will be able to sign a low-level magical beast like a soft mud monster. However, when he remembered the gray and dirty appearance of the soft mud monster, he felt chills for a while, and his heart was speechless, who would accept such an ugly demon pet in a normal person?

Emma looked at Arenas' eyes, looking very embarrassed, and he lifted the ooze monster under his feet: "Uncle Arenas, look at it, this ooze monster is mutated, and it should be very powerful in the future, you see how cute he is." ”

Only then did Arenas realize that the pile of things at Emma's feet was a ooze monster? He couldn't help but squat down and touch it: "Strange, the ooze monster doesn't look like this, huh?" ”

Emma was a little smug: "Yes, mutated, I don't think it's ordinary at first glance." ”

Arenas said, "But it doesn't look alive, does it?" ”

Emma affirmed, "It's alive." I guess it's just evolving, and when it becomes completely transparent, it should be very powerful. ”

Arenas was a little suspicious, but this was beyond his knowledge, and he could only take it seriously.

Emma added, "Uncle, what do you think I'm going to give him a name?" ”

"Name?" Arenas muttered, "Little soft? ”

Emma shook her head, "Not good. ”

"Little mud?"

"Not good!"

"Why don't you just call the little monster."

Emma's face was black: "Uncle, why didn't I know you were so lazy before?" "This is clearly to take apart the three words of the ooze monster to deal with him.

Arenas sneered, "I'm not good at names." ”

"No, it's not important to name your pet now, what matters is your mental power?" That's what matters, Arenas said.

Emma sighed, "I don't know, I used that scroll and I found it had a terrible headache. Fortunately, there was a moonflower grass at hand, so I ate it, and then we found two more moonflowers, and this guy and I each ate another one, and finally I didn't have a headache. But when I went to bed this morning, I found that I don't know how to have another headache. ”

Arenas hesitated, "This phenomenon sounds like a magician breakthrough?" ”

Emma said, "Huh? Is that a bit like that? ”

Arenas said, "Why don't you ask Magister Angelina to take a look first?" ”

After a moment's hesitation, if you ask Angelina Magister, I don't know her very well. Besides, after all, it's a story made up, will it be debunked all at once? Also, if there is really something wrong with your head, will it be dangerous to expose any secrets? But Emma can't resist the desire to become a magician after all, if it's a breakthrough in mental power, what kind of potion is she playing, right? How good is it to just be a magician? So he gritted his teeth and said, "It's good to go and see." However, I think it's better to ask Captain Lucia to help me take a look. ”

Arenas nodded: "Lucia's words should be no problem, I have heard of her, her strength is good, she is already a seventh-level magician." Without hesitation, let's go right away. Yuehuacao is not busy to send it, since it is useful for your headache, let's keep it for now. ”

Emma said, "Then let's keep it for now, let's go." ”

Seeing that it was almost noon, the two decided to go for a bite to eat first, and then go to Lucia.

Before leaving the door, Emma said to Arenas, "I have decided, my pet will be called Jelly." ”

Arenas asked, "Jelly?" What is that? ”

Emma said: "It was a great food, sweet, colorful, and smooth. ”

Arenas couldn't imagine what it was with a confused face, he could only smile helplessly, Master Emma is a teenager after all, sometimes it is inevitable that there are some strange thoughts in his head, let him go, just be happy.
