Chapter 11 Moving
Hurley and her mother had also packed up the house's belongings, mainly the family's bedding and cutlery, which were stacked on a tattered flatbed cart borrowed by an enthusiastic neighbor.
The things that couldn't be put down were held by the mother and daughter, and the person in charge of pulling the cart was the son of the neighbor next door, who was about the same age as Charlin's eldest brother Anthony, and Charin remembered that his name seemed to be Edmund.
The rest of the things that could not be taken away were put inside for the neighbors to take away, and the remaining mud thatched house was also given to Edmund's family by Lannie.
"Xia Lin, you were so majestic just now! How did that flaming arrow appear, is that a spell? Can you show me more? ”
On the way out of the slum, Hurley's expression was full of energy, and she didn't seem tired of holding a rather large crockpot in her two thin arms.
"Call me brother! Also, what are you doing with so many useless things? It's going to be a long walk from here to your new home, and I won't help you get it then! ”
Xia Lin smiled and pinched Hurley's face hard, but the girl's thin cheeks didn't feel at all, and he looked at his mother, who had yellow hair and a withered face, and he felt that he had to strengthen the nutrition of his family in the future.
The hard life in the slums has taken a lot of energy out of their bodies, and they may die early before they reach the age of thirty or forty.
"Don't pinch my face! It hurts! ”
"Tell my brother to let go! Call me Xia Lin again, and your room in your new home will be gone! ”
Xia Lin threatened with a straight face.
"Brother! Brother! You're my brother! ”
Hurley, who had no use for physical coercion, immediately relented in the face of the coercion of interests.
"That's pretty much it! In the future, call your brother more, and when your second brother is in a good mood, it will definitely have the benefits! ”
Xia Lin patted the head of the girl who put down the clay pot and rubbed her cheeks with her teeth, and said with a smile.
"You know how to bully me!"
Hurley rubbed her cheeks and picked up the crockpot on the floor.
"You're my sister, who are you bullying if you don't bully?"
Xia Lin laughed, ignoring the girl's eyes, and took the pots and pots stacked together from her mother's arms.
In the past three years, although he has only eaten two meals a day in the academy, the food and nutrition are quite sufficient, plus the long-distance running exercise every morning, his physical fitness is not bad now.
However, the child's vitality came and went quickly, and Hurley soon became out of breath, and finally the crockpot was handed over to Xia Lin's arms.
After walking for almost two hours, the group finally came across Silverfish Street, which leads to the North District Pier and has a fresh fish market on the way, so sections of the road are named after fish.
"It's here, that's it!"
Xia Lin gasped and put down the pots and pots in his arms, and pointed to the two-story house on the seventh building on the left side of the street not far away.
"Is this our new home?!"
Hurley let go of her mother's hand and ran impatiently, standing in the street with a blazing gaze at her future home.
"How much does this house cost?"
Mother asked, a little scared and worried.
"There are less than four Jinlunt, the place is quite large, I am going to use the first floor to make a small workshop, and there are four rooms on the second floor, you can pick what you like, and the rest will be for me and my eldest brother!"
Xia Lin saw that his mother seemed to be a little worried about his financial situation, and continued to add:
"Don't worry, Mom, I still have a lot of money left after buying this house, and I'll give you a gold lunt later, which will be used for this period of time, and when the workshop makes money, you won't feel that this amount of money is too much!"
Edmund, who heard these words, was envious and jealous, worthy of being a mage, and he didn't even pay attention to the five gold luntes at all.
For example, their group of slum people can't save ten silver mar in a year, and I'm afraid they won't see what Jinlunt looks like in their lifetime.
Lanny was coaxed into the house by Charlene and went upstairs with Hurley to choose their own room, while Charlene and Edmund unloaded the things from the flatbed.
When the things were moved, Charlene handed Edmund a silver mar as a reward for helping with the move.
The relationship between the two of them is very good, and now that he has achieved something, he will naturally not be too stingy.
Seeing Edmund excitedly pulling the cart away after thanking him for his kindness, Xia Lin touched his chin that had not yet grown hair, and began to think about some things in the future.
Perhaps he didn't have to go outside the city to buy a manor, but just set up a factory in the slums, so that he could not only use the cheap manpower in the slums, but also give some reward to those who had taken care of his family.
However, if you want to enclose land in the slums, you must first have a legal name to intervene, and secondly, you must deal with the intricate gray organizations.
After thinking for a moment and not catching any clues, Xia Lin scratched the itchy place on his arm, and suddenly his face changed.
I was messing with Hurley for a while, and it seemed like a flea had come to her.
In this era, fleas accompany the people at the bottom throughout their lives, after all, they are not in a position to bathe in most cases, and they have been out of the slum for three years, but Xia Lin has forgotten that there is still this problem to deal with.
Fortunately, although he does not have insecticidal and disinfecting chemicals at hand, he has a universal cleaning technique.
Skillfully performing a cleansing technique on himself, Xia Lin shuddered after seeing three or four fleas curled up and swept to the ground by the fluctuations generated by the cleansing technique.
He has moved a lot of things, and it seems that today he has to enjoy the feeling of running out of mental power for the first time in a long time.
However, after sanitizing everything he brought from his hometown, and performing a cleaning technique on the interested Hurley and her curious mother, Xia Lin unexpectedly found that his spiritual power had not bottomed out after performing nearly twenty zero-ring cleansing techniques.
Could it be that his spiritual power is about to break through? Xia Lin thought in surprise.
There are not so many bells and whistles in the mage ascension ring in this world, that is, whether the spiritual power of the master can cast spells corresponding to the number of rings, and the biggest gap is nothing more than the zero ring and the first ring mage.
The Zero Ring spell can be cast without the participation of one's own magical power, and the price is that it is extremely weak, almost a bluffing trick.
The one-ring spell requires the mage to generate his own magic power in long-term meditation and magic immersion, and inject his own magic power into the spell model to be able to cast it smoothly.
A spell like this can easily kill or seriously injure an unarmored adult.
Even if they are wearing armor, mages have a number of one-ring spells that can damage them through armor, such as Plasticizer's Shock and Ignition, unless their armor is made of demonic metal and has some magic resistance.
