Chapter Twenty-Nine: Artificial Magic Open-Air Hot Springs
Contentedly looking at the fruits of their labor, but there is still one last step to come. Just like the joke about the pyramid, the last thing missing is the pharaoh.
Get ready to change your clothes, close the door, and brush yourself up and down before jumping into the pool filled with hot spring water. There are no floor-to-ceiling windows and large glass in the world, so Lin directly built the hot spring pool on an open platform. When people soak in the pool, their heads are turned away, and what they see is the scene outside the tower of the great sage.
The lush forest is full of people. There are falcons soaring into the sky and soaring in the air. From time to time, there are birds and magpies flying in the canopy, and there seem to be animals galloping underneath. As far as the eye can see, a sense of seclusion and independence fills the chest.
But honestly, when you're on Earth, it's a wonderful feeling to go camping in the wild once in a while. But for a long time live in a place where such birds do not lay eggs and chickens do not poop. The scene in front of me really can't mention the slightest ambition or anything like that. What really made Lin feel extremely sour was the feeling of his whole body being soaked in water.
It would be even more perfect if there was a glass of rice wine with a low degree of alcohol.
The world of the lost land needs to take a bath, but it is a very troublesome thing. You have to prepare a tub in the room, then boil a pot of hot water, bring it to the room, and pour it into the tub. And cleaning up the aftermath is just as troublesome. Otherwise, they would find a stream or a small lake outside, and the whole person would jump into it after taking off his essence. The construction of large baths can only be seen in history books and in the records of some mediocre kings.
So it's really common not to take a shower for a few days. But this point used to be the thing that Lin, a traverser, was most unaccustomed to.
Yes, ever. One thing lasts for more than ten years, and I get used to it if I don't get used to it. But now that I have the conditions, there is no reason to continue to abuse myself.
But the request for that wine is really helpless. Although there is also rice in the world, beer and fruit wine are still the main types of alcohol. The colder it is, the better it tastes, but it is not suitable for warm drinking.
Why don't you get some more equipment for sake brewing? Lin thought about it in his heart. But brewing is a technical job, and you can't make anything just by looking at it and by impression. Just the production of koji, Lin is blindfolded, and he can't figure it out. Physics is still complete, but microbiology is on its knees.
"Teacher, what are you doing?"
Halumi's voice, Lin turned his head slightly, his eyes flicked back, and he saw four heads exposed behind the crack in the door. Two girls, two dog heads. Lin said lazily: "Didn't I hang a 'in use' sign on the door?" ”
"Yes, in use. But what are you using? ”
"Take a bath."
"What do you mean by taking a bath?" As they asked, two people and two dogs opened the door and walked in directly. Kaya also reached out to puff the water, feeling a little surprised at the fact that the temperature of the pool was not too low. The face that had not changed for thousands of years was also slightly moved.
"If the whole person is soaked in water, isn't it called a bath." I feel like I'm talking nonsense. But since people are in, then by the way. Thinking so, Lin got up and wrapped a towel around his crotch.
The two girls didn't react much to their teacher's behavior. Anyway, we've been adventuring together for so long, and it's not like I've seen each other's bare buttocks. Instead, Harumi asked with great interest, "Shall we come to the bath?" ”
Sitting on a small stool with his back to the two girls, Lin said, "You can use it, of course." I don't spend all day in water. But not now, don't be in a hurry to take off your clothes,—"Stop the two men who are about to strip naked and jump into the water," and there are some rules of use that I want to tell you first. But before that, brush my back first. ”
Seeing his teacher pointing to the vegetable melon cloth on the side, Harumi rolled up his sleeves, splashed a scoop of water, and brushed his back vigorously. That feeling of comfort is really like the taste of the previous life. "Oh~, I should invent a brush back magic."
After a strange moan, Lin's nerves were finally reconnected, and then he said to the two girls: "Rule one, when someone is washing, the sign on the door will turn over the 'in use' side, telling the others not to rush inside." After washing, turn the other side into 'idle'. Rule 2: Scoop water next to you and wash your body before you can soak in the pool. Rule 3: You can't wear clothes into the pool, and of course you can't wash clothes here. ”
After speaking, looking at it and thinking about it, Lin added: "Rule four, those two dogs can't enter the pool." ”
"Why?" Harumi asked with a little excitement. After they came back, they found that the habits of the two big dogs were a little different from before. If you don't train, or you don't tell them what to do, they're always crazy outside, and when they come back, they're dirty. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place to wash?
However, the teacher did not directly answer the question of why, but said, "If the pool is dirty, I will just ask you to clean it." ”
Without hesitation, the two girls shouted out the two big dogs, who were probing the water with their tongues and looking like they were about to jump. The aggrieved look with his tail between his legs and his head shrugged is funny to watch.
Then the two girls were kicked out by their own teachers, and Lin Cai went into the pool again. It seems that he has no intention of leaving for a while.
The setting of the artificial magic open-air hot spring has undoubtedly become a source of motivation for Lin Xin. Not only can you soak it when you are wilting, but you can refresh your spirit, but even with a few difficulties encountered before, it was a flash of inspiration, and you have overcome several in a row.
The two little apprentices also fell in love with bathing. In the past, I didn't have the conditions to take a bath every day, so I just served the teacher, and when it was my turn, I was too lazy to carry the bath bucket, too lazy to boil hot water, and too lazy to clean up after washing. Because after these things are done, the freshly washed body is covered with sweat, which is really a waste of effort. So when their bodies are really dirty and they can't stand it, they always run to the river to solve it.
Now that I don't have those troubles, I don't have to wash them every day. Although it is stipulated that you must wash your body before taking a bath, and you can't go in with clothes or wash clothes, there is no rule that you can't play in the water. So the two girls are always having fun in the pool.
And one day, I accidentally found that when I meditated while my body was soaked in water, I actually felt that the accumulation of mana power was faster than usual, and I was about to catch up with the feeling in the meditation room. So taking a bath has directly become the daily homework of the two girls.
I thought that the days would go on like this, but on a rainy afternoon, the Tower of the Great Sage welcomed another group of guests. Generally speaking, the apprentice will be able to come forward to receive him. But on days when it rained continuously, Lin felt that he was nesting on the third floor, and he was about to get moldy, so he went downstairs to say hello to the guests.
In a group of seven, several people were sorting out their wet luggage, and the swordsman in the lead was talking to Harumi. When Lin appeared on the first floor, the new guests were greeted respectfully by the two apprentices who greeted the owner of the tower.
On the surface, he responded cordially, but Lin was actually looking at the number of people who came. There's no way, whoever called the Tower of the Great Sage ushered in before, but they can be called villains. There are two waves of villagers who want to treat magicians as slaves, a wave of inspectors who ask for guilt, and a wave of evil magicians who want to crusade against evil magicians when they hear about the incident.
Now what this group of people came to this remote place that is not part of the traffic rush, Lin can't help but think about it.
But looking at the crowd only vigilant, but there is no look of disgust, maybe this group of people is just passing by?
"I don't know, where are the guests from?" Lin asked politely.
"We are an adventurous group from the Kingdom of Salamanca, the Sword of Radiance. I'm Regiment Commander Kohler. ──”
The Kingdom of Salamanca is a small kingdom within the Wizards' Guild, the Cadiz Section. As for the brilliance or something, or the sword of something, it belongs to the name of the vegetable market in the adventure group, and it can be seen everywhere. Anyway, the world doesn't prohibit the same name, so no one cares about this little thing.
"—Our group is heading to the Doduoren Mountains, where we hear that there are ogres causing trouble, and we are going to fight them."
The Dodoren Mountains are located within the boundaries of the Nonan branch of the Wizards' Association. In terms of the path of action of this adventure group, it can be said that it rushed from the northernmost to the southernmost part of the peninsula in the southwest region of the mainland. The ogre is a very troublesome uncivilized Homo sapiens race, and it is very strong, and it is not a target that ordinary adventurers dare to deal with.
But this group of adventurers, who are full of confidence and plan to go to fight the ogre, have been poured a bucket of cold water here. In her distinctive flat tone, Kaya said, "If it were the ogre tribe of the Doduolian Mountains, it would have been dealt with. ”
"What!" Everyone was shocked. Even Lin was equally shocked when he heard Kaya's words. Swordsman Kohler hurriedly asked, "May I ask how you know this news, can you confirm it?" ”
"It was Count Sita of the Kingdom of Huesca who sent the Thunder and Lightning Legion to fight it. A magician named Meher Lindfrys, posted on the forum. With that, Kaya used a water mirror to bring up the picture of the forum, and quickly found the show-off article.
Lin looked at the name of the poster, and suddenly remembered that this was not the same person who accompanied a noble son brother and came here to look for the ballast.
The swordsman Kohler looked at the thread of discussion that Kaya had opened, and attached to it was a picture of ogre bones piled up, a backward tribe in flames, and a group of soldiers holding military flags. On the military flag is a noble coat of arms, and there is a lightning symbol next to it, which should be the banner of the Thundering Lightning Legion.
The text is brilliantly written, writing about how the legion hides its whereabouts and surreptitiously surrounds the tribe. Then, when fighting, how do soldiers cooperate with each other to reduce their own casualties, and a large number of ogres who kill and injure individuals whose strength surpasses that of humans. In short, he boasted as much as he could, and almost praised this army to the sky.
When they learned that the troublesome ogre had been solved, the expressions of the people in the adventure group were a little complicated. is not only happy that the safety of ordinary people has been guaranteed, but also helpless This time I may have to run for nothing.
However, Kaya continued, "Although the ogre is solved, there may be a lot of hands on the side of the Duoduolian Mountains. ”
"Well, what's going on?" This time it was Lin Zai's turn to ask.
"In the discussion forum of the Adventurer's Guild in the Kingdom of Huesca, the post dedicated to posting quests has a description that it is said that the original king-level demonic beasts of the Duoduolian Mountains have disappeared, and the remaining demonic beasts have begun to fight for the king. The whole mountain area was in an uproar, and I heard that there were still dragons. In order to prevent the Monster from attacking the town, the Adventurers' Guild has issued a large number of crusade missions. Now go over there, and you can get a bounty for any demonic beast. ”
"It's a mess."
…… If someone who knows everything is here, hearing what Lin said from an outsider's point of view, I'm afraid he will be angry. I really don't know who should be counted as the initiator.
But after watching the relevant text, the swordsman Kohler's attention shifted to the forum interface. He said: "It turns out that this is the time when I heard the so-called forum in Sijia District. It's so convenient. It's just that if you want to, you have to run Wulian City, which is a bit unpleasant. It's a pity. ”
Harumi then proudly said, "Do you want to buy a browser?" Just go to my teacher. My teacher is the inventor of forum browsers. If you bring your own magic stone, I'll be fine."
The expressions of the people in the adventure group are so wonderful that it is really difficult to describe in words.
