Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Suburbs

"Did you guess that?" Alexia looked at Karl with wide eyes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Carl's face was full of innocence and depression.

The magic train to the eastern suburbs broke down - although this is also a domain of magic creation, but obviously, this relatively sophisticated creation is not something that a rookie chick like Carl can handle.

The conductor didn't have a broken brain, and he wouldn't let a freshman of the academy deal with this, even though it was from the Arlin Academy - but what was the use of only a week in school.

"I won't teach prophecy, and I won't go up to the nine rings of astrology!" Karl said through gritted teeth.

"It's obviously not appropriate to wait for other trains to pass by, I don't know how long to wait, and I don't know if there are any vacancies. Alexia said.

"So what?"

Carl flipped the page of "The Magic System of the Pumping Machine" on his lap, and the meaning was very clear - anyway, it was a book, just wait, and it would definitely be fixed anyway, or there would be a passing car.

"The seventh rule of Raphael's family motto is to prepare for the worst in everything and act optimistically. The scarlet girl stood up, "The rest of the way, on foot." ”

"Hey, don't be strong......" Before Carl could finish speaking, Alexia grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the car.

......

In the early spring suburbs, the humid air is filled with the enticing scent of grass, and the smell of earth wafts from time to time in the fields. As far as the eye can see, there are tender green wheat seedlings that stretch all the way to the distant horizon.

On the suburban path, a petite girl walked in front, and a taller teenager followed behind her.

"Actually, according to mathematical expectations, waiting for the bus there is no slower than we can walk by. Carl muttered.

The passing wind blew the girl's double ponytails up, and Alexia pressed the short hair on her forehead and turned her head: "But don't you think it's better to go out for a walk often?"

The wind was a little strong, and Alexia's loud question made Carl stunned: "Huh?"

Alexia pointed to the fields by the side of the road, and pointed to the river that ran parallel to the road:

"If you don't walk on the earth, can you see the newborn green shoots? If you don't go out of your little world, will you know what the water and soil that feed this side of the people are like?"

“...... If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how dare you say it's guarding?"

At the end, the girl's voice lowered.

There seems to be something in the words.

"Hurry up for me!" Alexia raised her voice suddenly, and ran away on her own.

Karl's brow furrowed, and the girl's momentary weakness made him quite concerned.

I've always wanted to avoid trouble, did I do something wrong?

......

While the glow leaves its attachment to the sky, it also leaves it to the earth.

Behind the wooden fence is a two-story cottage, which is the residence of the owner of Peggy's farm.

Karl stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a small head came out.

"Who are you?" asked the boy, who was only eight or nine years old.

"I'm a student of Arlin and I've been tasked with repairing the farm's pumping system. Karl gestured to the golden crown badge on his chest.

"But we're only going to hang the mission to the Mercenary Guild. The little boy said.

"Uh. Carl blinked.

What's going on?

"Stupid Bobby, the Mercenary Guild sometimes sends difficult tasks to other places, don't you know?" a child's voice came from behind the boy, "Invite someone in!"

When I opened the door, in addition to the boy Bobby, there was also a little Lori who was about the same size as Alexia.

As mentioned before, Alexia looks like she was eleven or twelve......

"I'm Rowling Peggy, the eldest daughter in the family. The little Lori secretly glanced at Alexia behind Carl, "Is this young lady also from the academy?"

"Yes, but she's just coming with me. Karl said, "May I ask the master here?"

"Dad is working in the fields, mom is cooking. Rowling bowed slightly, "Please come into the room." ”

Carl didn't know where the magic pump at Peggy's farm was if no one led the way, so he nodded and entered the door with Alexia.

Sitting on the couch in the living room for less than two minutes.

"I'm sorry, my husband, he probably won't be back for a while. A young looking woman folded out of the kitchen, "That thing has been broken there for a long time, and I'm going to trouble you this time." You can call me Deborah. ”

"No, we're late this time. My name is Carl and this is Alexia. Karl shook his head, "The train broke down on the way. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"If you don't mind, stay here for dinner. Deborah said.

Karl glanced at the very ladylike scarlet girl sitting upright, and nodded, "Excuse me." ”

Seeing that his mother had gone into the kitchen again, Bobby leaned over: "Big brother, big brother, what is taught in the academy?" ”

Rowling was making tea for Carl and Alexia, pretending not to care, but looking at her expression, she was obviously curious.

"Everything is taught, but the most content is about the two classes of mage and warrior. ”

"Really?"

"Well, do you want to be a mage or a warrior?" asked Karl, touching the boy's head.

"Of course it's a mighty warrior!" Bobby's eyes sparkled, "I heard that all warriors can open mountains and split the ground, and ride a thousand, is this all true?"

"Ahem. Karl coughed slightly, "It's true, but that's at the legendary Sanctuary level." ”

"Ah, it's so far away......," Bobby said disappointedly, quickly picking himself up again, "Can the big brother teach me a little now?" ”

Carl wiped his cold sweat: "I can't, in fact, I'm a mage, you see this big sister on the side, she is a warrior, and she is much more powerful than me." ”

"Big Sister Big Sister ......" Bobby turns to Alexia.

The girl glared at Carl dissatisfiedly, and had no choice but to say: "You know the advanced level of the warrior, the bronze stage is to exercise physical fitness, until you break through the boundary and come into contact with the fighting spirit, but the exercise is also particular."

My class is a keen warrior by fighting style, relying on high-frequency attacks, accurate hits, and agile evasion to win. Although general exercises such as weight-bearing long-distance running can improve physical fitness, they can also lead to muscle stiffness, so I also need to do some functional training after physical training to improve flexibility and relieve muscle fatigue.

Shield warriors and general force warriors will choose more to resist hits and endurance training. ”

"Are all of your Min weapons lighter, can I use them?" said Bobby, blinking.

Alexia took out a wooden sword: "It's relatively light, right...... This is a practice sword made of sunken wood, and it weighs as much as my weapon, so you can try it. ”

The little boy took the wooden sword, the weight of which he could barely grasp, and he barely lifted it with both hands.

Carl tried to keep a smile on his face, don't look at Alexia's ability to wield the dual swords freely, but there is still weight, a bear child who has not been systematically trained can lift it at most, and it is impossible to use it.

"I'm back!" a neutral male voice came from the hallway, "Hey, are there any guests?"

Rowling immediately ran out to greet her.

"Oooh...... Welcome, two from the Academy. The owner of the farm, a man in his mid-thirties, said to Carl and Alexia, "I'm the owner of Peggy's farm, Johnny Peggy. ”

"We're late, can we go see the pumping machine here?" Karl said, getting up.

"Okay—" Johnny was interrupted before he could say anything.

"Let's have dinner first. ”

Deborah, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen with her meal and glared at her man.

"Yes, yes, eat first. The tall farmer was glared at him.

............

......

It's a simple soup with four dishes, but it's delicious and has a warm taste.

After dinner, Alexia stays at the farm hut, and Carl goes with Johnny to the river to check it out.

"With the Magic Machine, I can take care of a much larger area of land than before. Johnny pointed to some of the facilities in the field.

That's the action end of the machine.

The pumping machine is a thick, cylindrical machine, with brackets fixed to the bank of the river, and from time to time a column of water is pumped up from the river and filled into the canal pipe on the side.

"The irrigation water was pumped from the river, but the water pumped down the last week, and I thought it was the bad contact, so I kicked it the old way, but it was even worse......," Johnny said, rubbing his hands.

"Kick your feet......" Karl wiped the cold sweat from his head, "you stop it first, I'll check." ”

Johnny snapped a magic crystal from a small lid on the pump, and the humming pump stopped.

Lifting the hood, Carl's gaze carefully scanned: "There is nothing wrong with the mechanical part, but what about the corrosion?"

"Well, I checked, and the impeller and crankshaft work. Johnny said.

"I'm going to take it apart and check the magic part. "Karl Dow," may take more time. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

It took a while for Carl and Johnny to remove the pump from the stand and split it into three parts.

Carl recalled the contents of "The Magic System of the Pumper" and tested the three parts separately.

"It's the magic constant that is broken. Carl pulled out one of the radiator-like structures, "Do you have a spare current regulator at home, I'll just replace it." ”

Johnny shook his head: "There is no such accessory prepared. But the magic equipment mall in the city should sell it, so I'll go to the city tomorrow and buy one. Why don't you stay here today?"

It's already dark, and it's obviously impossible to go to the city today.

Carl rubbed his head: "Then don't use it, I'll make a constant current device tonight and replace it for you tomorrow." ”

"I'm so embarrassed......"

"It's fine. ”
