Chapter 164: Jack and Pea
In this world, there is a kingdom that is not big or small.
Its name is the Kingdom of Lancy.
Although the kingdom is strong enough to be proud of the rest of the small nations.
However, its geographical location was very unfavorable for development, and it was sandwiched between the Mass Empire and the Ottoman Empire.
The two empires once tried to win over the Lanxi Empire, but in the end, due to the interference of both sides, they were unsuccessful.
And the kingdom of Lanxi was left and right, using the resources of the two empires to develop.
But in the end, when it wanted to expand outward, it found that the awkward geographical location was not enough to support its development.
If you want to gather a group of junior brothers, the limelight will also be stolen by the two empires.
Therefore, most of the warlocks who want to go further will choose to go to the empire to develop, and there are very few people who stay in the Lanxi Kingdom.
The occult academy they were proud of is also gradually declining.
But on the other hand, the fees charged a year are getting higher and higher.
It seems that this is the only way to see the grand occasion of the academy at that time.
Moreover, in recent years, the Lanxi Kingdom has encountered hot and scorching hot weather, and its resources are getting less and less.
Even if you ask the Radiant Moon Warlock to come and see it, it won't have any effect.
It was as if the land had suffered the wrath of the gods.
For a variety of reasons, as well as the appearance of the Lord of Dusk, this statement has evolved more and more intensely.
All kinds of spearheads began to be directed at the Lanxi Kingdom itself.
Listening to the discussion of the crowd around him, Jack had no interest in participating.
He packed up his things and hurried back home.
There was still work to be done at home, and he didn't want to waste time by discussing it with other people.
That would definitely be the case with his own mother taking a size forty-two shoe and making it kiss her ass fiercely.
Although Jack is already a qualified warlock, he can only bear the punishment of his mother.
On the outskirts of the capital of the Lanxi Kingdom, there are densely packed small towns.
And Jack's home is in one of these towns.
Hurrying back home, he carried two buckets of water and hurried towards the well in the center of the town.
If it's any later, you'll only have to hit the muddy water.
Although he can produce clean water on his own, it is a serious drain on his stamina.
"Gollum-"
Jack, his face covered in dust, struggled to press down on the rusty copper handle.
Immediately, the machine next to him burst into a clear spring.
Suddenly, a blanket of gray suddenly appeared in the blue sky in the distance.
And it continued to extend forward and widen, like a blanket of the night god blocking the sun and obscuring the sky.
The wind was blowing, the dead grass and fallen leaves were flying all over the sky, and the yellow dust was clouded.
It is impossible to distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth.
The sandstorm is coming!
Yes, it's already November.
However, the capital of the Kingdom of Lanxi was ravaged by sand and dust throughout the year.
They are also very distressed about this.
It's not that they don't want to be treated, but most of the plants can't survive at all if they are planted.
Jack quickened his movements, and then hid in his house in time before the footsteps of the dust arrived.
The yellow sand was pounding violently on the windows outside, making a terrible noise.
From time to time, yellow sand comes in and flies everywhere.
Jack put down the bucket in his hand and found two pieces of cloth to cover it.
"Moo~"
The cow's voice sounded in the background.
He looked back and saw that it was his mother who had herded the only cow into the house to protect it from the dust.
At this moment she sat on the chair with a sad face, looking at the cow in a daze.
"Jack, how long are you until you graduate?"
Mom asked calmly, completely unable to see the usual grumpy temper.
"Mom, this is my last school year, and next year I will be able to work in the Ministry of Defense."
"There's still one school year left......"
She muttered to herself, her eyes on the cow a little distracted.
Jack looked at the thin figure in the chair, and his heart felt sour.
My father has been dead for many years.
It was his mother who brought him up.
In recent years, prices in the Kingdom of Lanxi have skyrocketed, and Jack has also looked for a job as a pharmacist who makes reagents.
But Rao is like this, and it is only enough for daily food and clothing.
Even Jack's family is like this, let alone everyone else.
"Jack, when the wind and sand stop, you can go and sell this cow."
"Got it, Mom."
……
It was already a moment before the wind and sand ended, and Jack led the cows around the mysterious market.
Only warlocks can come here, and most of the warlocks are not short of money.
Naturally, Jack wanted the cows to get a good price.
But there are very few people in the market, and he doesn't see any hope.
"Young lad, please stay."
A man stopped Jack from behind.
He looked back and saw a strange older warlock.
He was wearing a uniform that Jack didn't recognize.
"Hello, is there anything wrong?"
"You're trying to sell this cow, aren't you?"
The warlock looked at the cow that Jack was leading behind him.
"Yes, do you want to buy it?"
Jack's spirit was shocked, and someone finally came to buy it.
"Oh, of course, of course."
"But I don't want to buy it, but I want to exchange these peas for you."
The warlock spread his hand, and there were three peas on it.
Seeing that Jack seemed to turn his head and was about to leave, he quickly explained.
"Don't think it's unsightly, it's no ordinary bean."
"If these three peas are planted together, they can grow overnight, and they can grow as high as the sky!"
"How about it, do you want to change it?"
Jack looked at the cow behind him.
Although attractive, he wants money, not these peas.
Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the warlock on the other side had changed somewhat.
Tiny runes lit up in the eyes, with demagogic power.
Jack is not good at secretly, he is the kind of warlock who works very hard, and knows a little more than the average person.
This is clearly the Magic Eye.
It's still the kind of magic eye that is not low-level.
And this is a mysterious market, how can anyone dare to use mysterious powers.
When Jack was about to mobilize the mystery factor to resist, he became more and more drowsy.
Then he was confused and handed the rope he was holding to the other party.
But after the other party took it, he didn't leave directly.
Instead, he gave the three peas to Jack very honestly.
By the time Jack woke up, it was already late at night.
Look at the empty streets, and the beans in your hands.
The pale light hit Jack's body, and he looked depressed as if he had lost his soul.
It's gone, there's nothing.
What's the use of him asking for this bean!
Jack stood up, a little angry, trying to shake the three beans out of his hand.
But the raised hand paused in the air for a moment, and then put it down with difficulty.
All he had was those three beans now.
Just as Jack was returning home in frustration, several men in gray robes followed him.
But Jack didn't seem to notice the bright man in the slightest, and walked on his own.
"Is that him?"
"It's him."
