Chapter XXIX: The Duties of the Apprentice
'Brush Brush ~~Brush Brush ~~'
Rosen lay on the ground, a large rag in his hand, trying to clean the wooden floor from the water stains.
Whenever the rag was full of water, he screwed the water into the broken wooden barrel beside him, which was eaten by insects and almost fell apart.
Not far from him, Thrandis sat in a reclining chair, potion in hand, carefully cleaning the abrasions on his elbows.
The young and beautiful mage lady seemed to have no idea what shyness was, and ignored the bitter cold of winter, still without a single strand on her body, allowing her snow-white skin to be exposed to the air.
"From today, no, from now on, you're my sorcery apprentice.
"However, before the course begins, it is important to clarify the respective obligations and rights. Do you agree with that? ”
'Wow la la~'
Wringing out the dirty water vigorously and raising his elbow to wipe the sweat from his forehead, Lawson continued to concentrate on mopping the floor.
"I agree."
"Good."
Thrandis's thin willow-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, as the wound on her elbow had been cut a little deep by the stubble, but this did not prevent her from getting down to business.
"As a magic teacher, I have two obligations."
"First, to teach you the correct and safe knowledge of magic, and to introduce you to all the common sense that a full-fledged mage should know, leading you to become a qualified full-fledged mage.
"But considering that you need to pay a large amount of kroner to get a full mage certificate, and your mentor and I are a poor bastard, you don't seem to be rich.
"So to be precise, to make you an unofficial mage with the same abilities as a full-fledged mage."
This is a bit of a twist, but Rosen can naturally understand it, and he is very happy.
"After tossing for so long, I finally found a guide."
By this time, the water near the tub had basically dried up, but the water had already flowed all over the house, especially under the wooden desk, there was still a large pool of dirty water.
He wiped along the trail of water, but was blocked by the back chair.
Looking at the slender calves less than half a meter away from him, he resisted the urge to raise his head to explore the secret, and reminded in a low voice: "Mentor, you blocked me." ”
"Blocked? No, not really. ”
Thrandis leaned down and pinched Rosen's chin with her fingers, lifting his face up.
"My dear apprentice, I have to remind you that the mentor never has to make way for the apprentice, only the apprentice gives way to the mentor."
Rosen felt his mouth dry at a glance, and immediately broke free of his fingers and looked down at the ground: "I understand, mentor." ”
He was so thin that he simply bent down and slipped through the legs of his chair, trying to wipe the water from under the table.
I don't know what kind of evil taste Thrandis had, but he lifted his calf and stepped lightly on his back.
"Hmm~ It's still a human carpet that feels good, it's soft and warm to your feet, it's really good."
Rosen really convinced this crazy female mage, and couldn't help but curse in his heart: "When Lao Tzu surpasses you, I will definitely slap you in the pocket!" ”
But his greatest strength as a man is patience, and he can endure anything that has nothing to do with the core interest of survival.
As for personal dignity or something, it's just a synonym for strength, and he doesn't have much strength now, so naturally he doesn't have to think too much about dignity.
Moreover, even if others saw this scene, they would not laugh at a 15-year-old boy for not having dignity, but would only think that Thrandis was an adult who did not know decency.
So, he carried Thrandis's feet and continued to mop the floor.
"Oh, I almost got to business."
Thrandis simply put both feet on Rosen's back.
I don't know what kind of bad taste I didn't know out of, not only stepped on his clothes, but also reached into his clothes and rubbed the skin of his back with my toes.
"My second duty is to protect your life, your dignity and dignity, and to ensure that you are not humiliated. Except, of course, this tutor. ”
After a pause, she smiled, "Strictly speaking, this is not a humiliation for me, but some of the physical interactions that must be carried out when establishing an intimate relationship between a mentor and an apprentice. ”
Rosen felt uncomfortable and a little scared at such a move.
Because the other party's behavior is beyond the scope of normal people.
And a mid-level mage whose behavior is unpredictable is very dangerous.
He didn't want the story of a young apprentice accidentally dying at the hands of his mentor in the streets and alleys of Silvermoon Castle tomorrow.
'Shaporai, Shaporai, I feel like I've been cheated by you again. ’
After thinking about it, he felt that he should make some resistance, so as not to make an inch of the other party.
"Mentor, although you have a pair of beautiful and delicate feet, your apprentice is only 15 years old, and he can't bear such warm care from you."
The little foot rubbing on Rosen's back stopped, and just when Rosen was worried about an unpredictable accident, the female mage's slightly regretful voice came from above his head.
"Okay, okay, for your hard work, I'll spare you once."
Thrandis moved his feet, and the entire chair floated to the edge of the wooden bed.
This action made Rosen secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, although the behavior is outrageous, it is not a character who likes power and bullying. ”
If it's Cyrus's kind of society, then he's going to have to consider changing mentors.
The female mage's voice came from above her head again.
"After the obligation, it's my right."
"There are three in total, and you have to keep your ears pricked up, listen carefully, and follow them meticulously in the days to come."
"If you don't implement it properly and your rights are undermined, then I will have to make some discounts when I fulfill my obligations."
Rosen finally couldn't hold back completely, and said slightly: "Mentor, what you said is really straightforward, I must prick up my ears and listen carefully." ”
"Straightforwardness is a virtue, and there will be no unrealistic hopes, and there will be no disappointment that hopes will not be satisfied, and naturally there will be no illusory anger."
As she spoke, she turned her head to look at the ground and praised, "You've done a great job, my floor has never been so clean." ”
After speaking, the tone of the conversation changed again: "The floor is clean, I am very satisfied." Now, go downstairs and wash your hands carefully. ”
Lawson carried the dirty bucket and walked downstairs.
As he washed his hands by the water tank, Thrandis's voice kept coming from upstairs.
"First, I can pay you no tuition, but I have the right to be taken care of by an apprentice."
"Including but not limited to, three meals a day, there must be meat at every meal, the ingredients must be fresh, and the taste must be medium."
"At least once every 2 days, I should take a bath with the right temperature, and when I bathe, I should be ready to serve me at any time."
"Every 2 days, I have to wash my underwear by hand, and every 3 days, I have to wash my outer clothes by hand."
"In addition, the whole house should be cleaned every seven days to keep away rats, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, and bed bugs. If the house is damaged, it should be repaired within 2 days......."
She chattered a lot, no matter how big or small, and said all the aspects involved in ordinary family life, and made specific and rigorous requirements.
Lawson's head was big when he heard this, and he felt that he was not looking for a mentor, but a full-time nanny job.
When he had washed his hands and returned upstairs, Thrandis rose from his chair and gestured to the clothes that lay flat on the bed.
"Now, serve me and get dressed. Now use your hands first, and when you're done, switch to mage's hands. ”
As she spoke, she lifted her chin slightly, straightened up, stretched her arms, and waited for Lawson to dress her.
Rosen sighed secretly: "Fortunately, it's not an old woman in her seventies and eighties, otherwise it would be really miserable." ”
Fortunately, he is not a novice, and at the Green Oriole Hotel in White Horse Town, he sees Lilith changing clothes every day, and he can see it.
He walked over to the bed and took his underwear first.
This thing is not quite the same as the globe style, there are three pieces in total, starting with a pair of cotton suspender socks that go all the way up to the thighs, and then tie them around the waist with straps to prevent them from falling off.
It was a very hard job, and while Thrandis didn't feel anything, Rosen almost lost his temper.
Then put on a slightly thin, white ankle-covering dress, similar to a nightdress.
Finally, wear a cotton corset similar to a low-cut vest over the long skirt, and tie it tightly to tie it to both the chest and the waist.
After the underwear is worn, it is the outer garment.
There are two outerwear.
First, a dark green thick cotton dress was put on, and then a fur shoulder was draped over the shoulders, which was both warm and decorative.
When he put it on, Rosen found that the clothes were not new.
The outer garment can still be seen in the past, but the underwear is already a little worn, but there is no trace of sewing, so it is allowed to be torn.
Remembering what the other party said before that the family was bankrupt, Rosen sighed in his heart.
It seems that this young lady is not only a poor bastard, but also a poor bastard with ten fingers that do not touch the spring water. ’
After finally getting dressed up, Rosen was already sweating, but the thoughts in his heart dissipated.
No matter how beautiful something is, it will become numb after looking at it for a long time.
Thrandis walked a few steps in place and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad." ”
She sat down in the back chair again, her thick fiery red hair hanging down.
"My hair is already dry. Help me get a proper haircut. ”
"If you can't, I'll teach you, you must practice well and master this skill as soon as possible."
This job Lawson really can't, and he feels very fucked up in his heart.
He couldn't help but complain, "If my mentor was a man, wouldn't there be so many chores?" ”
Thrandis glanced back at Rosen, a teasing smile on his face.
"Be content. Male mages will only have more chores, and in addition to taking care of daily life, many of them are also dangerous. ”
"At least, I won't let you go to the manure tank to collect Tistronin, let alone go deep in the forest to find the highly poisonous Bailuo umbrella."
Rosen's mind was immediately balanced.
He learned to comb his hair by heart, and Thrandis also taught him seriously, and he had ready-made thick hair as an experiment, and after half an hour, he finally combed out a decent hair shape.
When everything was done, Thrandis turned to look at Rosen.
"Moving on to my second right, which is the right to share."
"In other words, I will take half of every penny you earn during your apprenticeship."
"You might say you don't make money."
"It's doable, of course, but if you don't make money to support your mentor and me, then we'll both starve to death in this wooden house."
Rosen was surprised: "Mentor, don't you have any income at all?" How did you live in the past? ”
Thrandis looked calm.
"The mage's guild in Silvermoon Castle will give me 15 crowns a year, plus my family has left a small amount of property. Of course, it's basically spent so far. ”
"Isn't 15 crowns in 1 year enough?"
Although it is not much, but the other party lives alone, save a little, at least eat and drink without worry.
Thrandis smiled slightly.
However, the Mage's Guild also stipulates that if a full-fledged mage formally recruits an apprentice, he will automatically forfeit receiving benefits. All the living expenses of the mage are now the responsibility of the apprentice. ”
She looked at Rosen with a smile, her face full of calmness: "You see, I have also made a huge sacrifice by accepting you as an apprentice." ”
Lawson had nothing to say, but fortunately he could still make money by selling paintings, and he was not worried about not being able to afford to eat.
Seeing that the other party still has a third right, he didn't say it, in line with the idea that stretching out his head and shrinking his head is a knife.
He asked with a grimace, "What is the third right of the mentor?" ”
"Thirdly, the mentor has the right to derive mental and physical pleasure from the apprentice without causing irreversible damage to the apprentice's body and mind."
"What?!" Lawson Earthquake!
Do you still sell yourself when you learn from a teacher?
Looking at the look of shock in Rosen's eyes, the smile on Thrandis's face gradually thickened.
She comforted gently: "Anla, Anla~ I won't mutilate the child's body." Spiritual pleasure will do. ”
Lawson secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Thrandis was a great beauty, but she was not a delicate bird, she was more than 1.7 meters tall, and there was a hint of unpredictable madness in her demeanor.
If you really want to go crazy, his small body will definitely not be able to bear it.
"Rights and obligations are relative. My right is your duty. My obligation is your right. I guess I've made that clear, right? ”
"Hmm."
"Do you feel any about it? Don't worry, I'm a frank guy and I like frank apprentices too. ”
The first time we met, I was honest and honest.,The personality is really very frank.。
Considering that the other party has always behaved well and spoken, Lawson also had something to say.
"I feel like I'm not only your apprentice, but also a bit like your father."
Thrandis frowned slightly: "Although my father has been dead for almost 3 years, I don't care too much about him. But I still don't like my apprentice making fun of him. ”
Lawson also felt that his words were out of proportion, and hurriedly explained.
"You see, I want to earn money to support you, I want to take care of your daily life, I have to take care of your body and mind. Isn't this all my father's work? ”
Thrandis paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"It's funny, it's funny and apt. Then in private, I will call you father. ”
Now Rosen was really shocked: "Mentor, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously!" ”
"I can't afford to be called that, it's going to be a disaster for me!"
How can a mentor call an apprentice's father, it's simply appalling!
"I'm kidding you, it scares you like you're being targeted by a Templar."
Thrandis laughed again, but finally stopped, still with a smile on his face.
"So, father, my daughter I'm hungry, isn't it time to prepare dinner?"
“.......”
Rosen was speechless, only to feel that the brain circuit of this female mage was really not on the same channel as ordinary people.
No wonder Shapole would say she had a problem with her brain.
