After entering the manor, the people who urged them left, leaving only the beautiful aristocratic girl and a dozen or so young men in the manor who also looked to be commoners, who were a little older, and were responsible for bringing them newcomers to the designated place and maintaining order.

Matthew even saw a magician in a magic robe standing on the terrace on the second floor looking down.

As soon as he entered the estate, he was given a set of double linen trousers. Touching it with his hand, he was sure that there was still some cotton wool stuffed inside.

My sister's set is a little big, and it looks more and more petite when worn on the body.

If they could wear such clothes, even if they lived in Qiaodong, they could survive a winter.

Matthew was even thinking about whether to sneak away with his clothes on, but thinking of the magician he had seen earlier, he immediately dispelled his thoughts.

Personnel began to be dispersed.

They were taken into a large wooden hut and saw the stables next to it, presumably where the hay was stacked.

On both sides of the wooden house against the wall are piles of straw and straw mats, which look like sleeping places.

Sure enough, a person who looked like a manager pointed to the straw on both sides.

"It's a place to sleep, everyone chooses a place, and don't change it in the future."

Matthew immediately grabbed his sister Elle to the farthest corner - the farther away from the door, the less likely it was to be blown by the wind.

He quickly looked around, and there were about 30 people who entered the wooden house with him, all of whom were at a loss and didn't even dare to communicate with each other.

A short time later, several people came in with sacks and barrels.

"It's time for dinner, come one by one, don't grab it."

In fact, no one moved at all, and everyone seemed to be confused by the word dinner.

For these wandering orphans, no matter what breakfast and dinner, they will eat the food they find first, and there will be a risk of being snatched away if they carry it with them, and they can only feel at ease when they put it in their stomachs.

Seeing that everyone hadn't moved, Matthew gritted his teeth and got up and walked over.

"Take a bowl next to it."

A piece of brown bread, a bowl of vegetable soup, and potato cubes in the vegetable soup.

He took the bread and vegetable soup, and excitedly returned to the haystack, and said to his sister, "Ellie, go quickly, remember to get a big one." ”

"Uh-oh."

The little girl was very agile, and although she had just eaten a piece of bread, she was still drooling when she saw the black bread exposed in the sack not far away.

The person who distributed the food saw that it was a little girl, and took a small piece of it to her, but when he saw that the girl was staring at the largest piece of bread, he smiled and changed it for her.

Elle took her things and ran back, sitting with her brother, holding the soup and smelling the fragrance.

It wasn't until this moment that the others reacted and gathered in a swarm.

"Come one by one, don't worry."

The slightly hot vegetable soup was delicious, and there was even a lot of salt in it, and Matthew took two sips.

"Sure enough, there are potato wedges, and I shouldn't wake up hungry in the middle of the night tonight."

"Ellie, hide half of the bread." Matthew said to his sister.

"Won't you be robbed?" The girl was stunned.

"Look like this, probably not, you can't eat that much anyway."

"I can." Ellie was not convinced.

"Then don't eat so much, your stomach will hurt."

"Oh."

The little girl quickly finished half a piece of brown bread and a whole bowl of soup, and then hesitated to take the remaining half of the bread. At first, he hid it in his clothes, then he felt uneasy, and then he stuffed it into the straw under him, covered it with a straw mat, and after a while, he felt that it was still inappropriate, and finally he fell asleep in his arms.

Matthew lay on the haystack and looked at the beams of the cabin.

"Even if he is sold as a serf tomorrow, he will not lose anything." He comforted himself.

……

……

Late at night.

Mage's Tower.

Located in a huge laboratory on three floors.

The Wind Core Collider, which has been improved by Colin for the third time, has been reduced to the size of a suitcase, and it looks very inconspicuous when placed next to a group of experimental equipment. But if it's valuable, all the other things in this lab are not as precious as this stuff combined.

The teacher is right, starting from nothing is the hardest.

And then, because he already has a direction, Colin's mastery of space magic is becoming more and more proficient day by day.

From 15 tak of butter to 500 tak of apples, it took only a month and a half.

When a whole apple slowly disappears from one enclosed glass enclosure and slowly merges into another, Colin's mood is indescribable.

It's not just a step forward in weight.

It's more about the level of complexity.

Compared to a single butter or water, the components of a whole apple are obviously much more complex. When this complexity is fed back into casting, the difficulty increases exponentially.

At first, Roman Sagan would come over every day to supervise and guard Colin's experiments, but seeing that his disciples were getting better and better, he stopped worrying.

……

In the highly transparent glass cover, a gray ryegrass seed lies quietly inside.

Colin slowly left the metal surfaces on both sides of the Wind Core Collider with his hands, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, let out a long breath, and then opened the glass cover, carefully took out the seeds, and put them in the wooden box next to him—dozens of the same seeds were already stored inside.

……

Inside the garden outside the Mage's Tower.

"You want to plant wheat grass?" Tessa asked, putting down her hoe and looking up.

"Well, is there any vacant space here, senior sister?"

"There is open space, but the wheat grass needs to be sown in autumn, and the soil here is not suitable for me." Tessa wondered, "What do you do with wheat grass?" Junior brother wants to raise horses? ”

"No, no, it's better if the season and soil are not suitable, I'm doing experiments." Colin explained.

"Experiments?"

"Yes." Colin smiled: "Senior sister, you know, I'm not good at magical biology......"

Tessa rolled her eyes and said, "Show it to me." ”

She opened the box, found that the seeds were nothing special, and said, "I'll plant them for you, don't go into the garden." ”

Tessa, who is well aware of the destructive power of this little junior brother, resolutely stops Colin from the fence.

"Uh-oh." Colin nodded, and hurriedly said, "But senior sister, before this kind of seed is planted, you need to deal with it first." ”

"How?" Tessa asked.

"First bask in the sun for an hour, then soak in warm water for 12 hours, take it out and drain it, soak it in 1% lime water for another 1 hour, and then mix it with the fertilizer after fermentation of fish scale egg shells, turn over the soil can not exceed 2 feet, use the sediment mixed with algae at the bottom of the river as a substrate, sowing can not exceed 10 grains per square foot, and you need to spray the agent every half day for three days after planting, oh yes, I'll go get the medicine......"

"Wait......"

Tessa hurriedly stopped him and sighed, "Come by yourself." ”

……

At the same time.

Youjin Chamber of Commerce.

Finia placed a heavy stack of drawings on Wald's desk.

"This is already the third?"

"Yes, Mr. Vane seems to have had a lot on his mind lately."

"This thing is weird, like a carriage?" Wald picked up the first drawing.

Phinea said, "It's been so busy just after the New Year, and it's hard work for Mr. Wald. ”

"It's my pleasure to work for Mr. Wayne." Wald replied solemnly, then raised the drawing in his hand and waved it lightly, and said with a smile: "It is also my greatest pleasure." ”

……

Old Town.

Anne took the thick book in her hand, looked up and wondered, "This is for me?" ”

Colin nodded, "This is a book I put together with my own hands on the theory of the elements and the basics of magic patterns. ”

"You wrote that?" Anne was surprised.

"Sort of." Colin smiled and said, "Annie, your talent is actually very good, and you can go further on the path of magic. ”

This is not a polite remark.

Before she was accepted as a disciple by Roman Sagan, Anne was able to barely keep up with her train of thought, only falling behind when it came to the theory of space magic.

Colin didn't feel anything at the time, but now that he looks back, he realizes that this girl is actually very remarkable, not to mention that she is a top student in the academy for many years - and this is when she has to spend a lot of time supporting her family.

"However, I'm only an apprentice in magic, and I can't progress again unless I awaken." Anne said gloomily.

"I remember the teacher once said." Colin said: "Using spiritual power to distinguish human beings is the biggest flaw of the entire modern magic system. ”

He didn't explain much, and then said, "Anne, I hope you will take a good look at this book, and in two days, I will also want to hire you as a teacher." ”

"Teacher?" Anne couldn't imagine what these two words could have to do with her.

"Yes, it's a challenging job to teach magical theory to kids who don't even know how to read, but ......," Colin laughed, "and it's definitely more than you can make selling charcoal and ice water." ”
