Chapter 3: Temptation

At the same time as Xia Duo, there was a young man who helped out at the old Neil Hotel, but that young man only served dishes and washed vegetables, and he had 2 silver coins a day, while Xia Duo had to go to the kitchen to wash dishes, serve vegetables, carry wine barrels, and be responsible for cleaning upstairs and downstairs.

From morning to night, there is almost no pause, even learning the lingua franca with little Neil is like squeezing toothpaste to squeeze time to learn, after this half a year of "experience", Xia Duo obviously feels a lot stronger.

At this time, little Neil wants to go to the circus outside the town to see the trolls, and he has to take Xia Duo to watch it, he may not have malicious intentions, but this kind of thing in old Neil may change some of his minds.

For some reason, Xia Duo was still a little inexplicably excited in his heart, maybe it was the best choice to turn his face with old Neil, he had been able to survive alone in the Savile Territory, but reason told him that he couldn't yet, wait.

"Isn't there Marlin there to help? Let's just take a look, just a look, and we won't have much time. Little Neil pulled on Xia Duo's sleeve, he was just an adult this year, and he was still a little playful, and he used Marin as a shield.

Marin was another young man who was helping out at the Old Neil Inn, but it was Midsummer, and there were so many guests that he couldn't be busy alone, and maybe Aunt Susan, who was cooking in the back kitchen, would have to come out to help.

In this case, it is impossible for old Neil to stay out of the matter, originally he only needed to sell wine and collect money at the front desk, but now he has to be busy.

Xia Duo really didn't want to hurt Old Neil at this time, he just wanted to spend these three days smoothly, and when the results of the assessment came out, if he passed, he would live in the Mage Tower, if he didn't pass, he couldn't leave Old Neil's hotel immediately.

"What if old Neil found out? Don't cry if you're beaten. Xia Duo frightened.

Although old Neil oppressed Xia Duo, he didn't have much tolerance for his son, but he just called hard, if he didn't obey, he couldn't play enough alone and pulled Aunt Susan to play mixed doubles.

Marin, on the other hand, is the son of a meat supplier in the store, so although the salary is not high (higher than that of Chado), at least the work is relatively easy.

If the two of them didn't go back to the store to help after the assessment this time, but went to see the circus and the old Neil knew about it, Xia Duo would just reduce the favor and increase the bad feeling on the old Neil's side, and the final result was still to come, but the little Neil definitely had to eat a mixed doubles immediately.

At this time, after listening to Xia Duo's words, little Neil subconsciously shrank his head, and the hand holding Xia Duo's sleeve also loosened, and his mood was a little low.

"Alright, let's go, let's go and see it tomorrow." Xia Duo said.

In fact, even if he went to see it tomorrow, Xia Duo was not very willing to go, in this continent of Faeron full of all kinds of magical powers, Xia Duo instinctively didn't want to touch things he didn't understand.

Looking at trolls might satisfy your curiosity, but what else? And what can you gain? In case the circus is not properly controlled, and the troll jumps up and eats him, then who will he go to reason?

Xia Duo didn't care what Little Neil thought, and pulled him to the south road, but just two steps, Little Neil reacted, "It's us going to participate in the assessment, how long the assessment will take or we have the final say, go play for a while, you don't say, I don't say, who knows?" ”

Little Neil's words still seem to have some truth, at least Xia Duo didn't see a single person he knew during the assessment of the Mage Tower, judging from the demeanor and clothing of those young people who participated in the assessment, almost none of them were ordinary people.

And those people are also very indifferent to Xia Duo and Little Neil, none of them take the initiative to talk to them, those people have their own circles.

Obviously, the servants of the Mage Tower are not as simple as servants, otherwise there would be no need for assessments, and those assessments, in Xia Duo's view, are more like selecting apprentices, and most of those questions focus on thinking ability, rather than the obedience, physical strength, and work skills of the servants.

This may be the beginning of mage training, and there are still a few families who can really afford to send their children to learn magic, at least there are not many such rich people near the Old Neil Inn, which is the southern area where adventurers are concentrated.

The people there either have no children or no money, and if they have the money, they would have bought land, bought slaves to farm, or gone into business, and who wants to work desperately to do the work of risk-takers who are in danger.

There is often a saying among adventurers - "After this trip, we will find a nobleman to take refuge." ”

Or, "When we're done, we'll buy a piece of land and put down roots." ”

But often the people who say these words do not end well, and at least a dozen of the people Xia Duo has known in the past six months alone have gone to the southern forest, and then never returned.

Little Neil said that no one knew when the assessment would end, and Xia Duo knew that it was impossible, but he did not refute it.

Seeing that Xia Duo was silent, little Neil became excited again, "Great, let's go see the trolls!" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Duo expectantly, he knew that if Xia Duo didn't go, even if he went by himself, he wouldn't be able to escape a mixed doubles meal when he went back, and only two people could hide it if they went together.

Xia Duo also thought about it seriously at this time, and felt that it was okay to go, of course, his main purpose was not to see trolls, what was there to see trolls, he had even seen several elves, and there was no shortage of trolls at all.

In fact, Xia Duo was considering whether to test Old Neil once, perhaps he speculated about Old Neil with the greatest malice, but it was not too cautious to come to the other world alone.

At least empathy, Xia Duo was in the situation of old Neil, and he was unwilling to let go of a cheap, even unwanted laborer who was unaccompanied, or even unpaid.

The "skin" of the children of the nobility has been almost uncovered in the past half a year, and even if it is the child of the nobility, how much deterrent power can a child of the nobility who can't even speak the lingua franca of the Nasera Empire have?

Judging from the change in old Neil's attitude in the recent period, he is likely to have some careful thoughts, but what it is, Xia Duo is still unsure, anyway, it is not a good thing.

Obviously, it is impossible to hide the circus from old Neil when he goes out of town with little Neil, so if he is a little tempted, he can also make plans early, and Xia Duo does not want to be planted in an inexplicable fluke psychology.

Old Neil was grateful for letting him integrate into the local area, but he would never be able to give up the opportunity to control his own destiny and spend his life working as a coolie in a small hotel.

"Okay, but don't talk about it when you go back." Xia Duo said.

"Great, let's go!"

Xia Duo followed the pull of little Neil and walked east, to be honest, after coming to Savile Town for more than half a year, his activity trajectory was almost limited to the vicinity of the old Neil Hotel in the south of the town.

Today was the first time he had traveled so far, first to the mage's tower in the northwest of the town, then halfway across the town, and now to the east, leaving the town to see the circus, and Xia Duo greedily looked at everything in the road, which was full of freshness for him.

From the words of the adventurers who ate and stayed at the Old Neil Hotel, Xia Duo knew the general layout of Savile Town, and there were also houses, shops and other things in the east, but unlike other areas, the East District had a bulk material procurement area dedicated to Connefila City.
