Chapter 56: A Good Day Begins with Breakfast
When, when......
Hearing the bells of the Krims Cathedral, Wayne opened his eyes, "It's eight o'clock." β
After reporting the information, he took a break.
Although with his current body, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sleep all night, but in order to maintain mental concentration during the day, it is better to rest for a while.
Breakfast was the same as last night's dinner, brown bread with butter cheese.
However, this time he did not challenge the hardness of his teeth, but extravagantly turned on the gas and boiled a pot of boiling water.
Soak the brown bread in plain water to make it soft, and then spread some cheese and butter, the wheat aroma is mixed with the sweetness of the cheese, and the lips and teeth are sweet.
Wayne nodded with satisfaction, "Comfortable, this is the life it should be." β
However, the price of enjoying such a breakfast is not cheap.
The gas used to boil the water costs 1pence, and the jar of butter and a small piece of cheese costs 5pence, including the brown bread - 8p in total.
The cost of nearly 1 shilling was placed on the predecessor, and I was afraid that I would not dare to think about it.
But Wayne didn't see anything wrong with that.
Although he is very short of money, spending a little money to improve the quality of life can definitely not be said to be a waste.
Ay?
It seems that in two days there will be gas and house management fees to the city-state, 3 shillings and 3 pence.
Candles also had to be replenished, which was again a few shillings.
Wayne touched his wallet and sighed, it seems that he can only be extravagant once in a while, and he needs to make more money......
Eat and drink to your heart's content,
After a brief wash, Wayne changed into the uniform of the Investigation Department, tidied up his dress and hairstyle, and made himself look more energetic.
Then check the musket and carefully insert a few bullets to ensure that you can draw your shot at any time in case of an emergency.
It is worth mentioning that these bullets are not the same bullets in the previous life, but steel balls the size of mung beans.
It's the size of a plastic bullet in a toy gun, which is easy to reload, but it's ...... powerful It's deadly at close range.
"The power of the musket is still too small."
Wayne thought for a moment, and took out a pen and paper to write down the materials for making potions and mechanical golems.
Wizard Jerry is indeed a very good puppet mechanical wizard, and the Codex also records some runic weapons and steam mechanical weapons.
But in terms of power and refinement, it was clear that Wayne had more weapons in mind.
Therefore, he felt the need to modify the musket.
Or more straightforwardly, to build a gun that fits him?
β¦β¦ Let's talk about it when I have money.
"Baba ......"
In the corner, the ghost still haunts Miss Zombie, persevering in carrying out the task given to him by Wayne.
Miss Zombie leaned forward slightly, her hands naturally drooping, and her long nails shimmered a little cold in the sunlight.
There was no expression on his stiff face, and those miserable white eyes stared straight at him, "Get out." β
A head and a zombie got along very "harmoniously" all night.
On the other side of the bed, the driver meditated honestly, not paying attention to the ghosts.
Wayne thought for a moment and walked over and patted the ghost on the back of the head, "You go meditate too." β
ββ¦β¦ Okay, Baba. β
The ghost glared at Miss Zombie again, as if to say you're going to be out of luck.
Wayne looked at Miss Zombie in the corner and asked, "You should be able to understand me, right?" I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to know your name? β
Undead creatures are not as irrational as aberrations.
According to the description in the book, the undead creatures that can be summoned at the wizard apprentice level are not very intelligent.
It's just clear that this zombie lady's wisdom goes beyond that.
"Sarah."
After a moment of silence, Miss Zombie opened her mouth.
Her voice was not good, like the sound of rubbing sand, and a pair of sharp teeth were exposed between the opening and closing of her mouth, which was very unsightly.
"Well, Sarah? Nice name. Now that you've become my contractual partner, um, allow me to use such intimate terms as partner, I just wanted to show kindness......"
"You wizards," Miss Zombie interrupted, "kindness? β
"You seem to know a lot about wizards?"
"A group of people who are even more terrifying than the most terrifying kings of the undead realm."
"Is that so?" Wayne was dumbfounded.
Miss Zombie glared at him, "Like to do those disgusting things on me, isn't that scary enough?" β
Disgusting things?
Body??
Not what he thinks, right?
Although this zombie lady looks quite "delicate", she really does that......
Ahem,
It's a bit restrictive.
Thinking of this, Wayne asked cautiously, "I don't know what they did, but what did they do to you?" Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to uncover your scars, just to prevent something like this from happening again. β
"Experiment," Miss Zombie said, her fingertips clawing back, "disgusting plague." β
Just a plague?
It's okay......
Wayne breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, and said that the wizard's bottom line couldn't be so low, "You don't like those experiments very much?" β
Miss Zombie didn't speak, and the silent expression was just thatβdisgusting.
Wayne knew in his heart, it seemed that this zombie lady had been contracted by other wizards before, and there was a shadow in his heart.
"And if I promise not to do experimental research on you, would you be willing to cooperate, well, I mean help me fight, or guard?"
"Contract." Miss Zombie tilted her head, "Abide by the contract, I will do anything." β
"Understood, then you can rest assured, I only need your combat power."
After thinking for a while, Wayne didn't say anything to death, but expressed it euphemistically: "Perhaps, there will be something that will help your strength in the future,"
Seeing Miss Zombie walking towards him, Wayne hurriedly added, "Huh...... I mean, equip these, and I'm personally disgusted with this kind of research. β
"Hope."
"So, such a pleasant decision?"
Miss Zombie stepped back, her head bowed, and ignored him.
"The agreement is made, and this will be your home from now on." Wayne said to himself.
Sure enough, this zombie lady is not in a good temper......
After saying this, whether she understood it or not, he turned around and went downstairs with the silver and white box.
By the way, open the defensive circle, close the door and go out.
Miss Zombie noticed that the defensive circle in the room was turned on, and her claws rubbed a few times, resisting the urge to tear everything apart.
"Disgusting."
She cautiously walked to the edge of the chair and sat down, staring blankly at the things on the table, motionless and in a daze.
"Yo, Wayne."
"Uncle Euan, morning."
Euan looked up at the sky, "It's still early, it's only been more than three hours since the dawn light was extinguished. β
Wayne shrugged, "I didn't expect the secretarial division's working hours to be so free. β
Then he saw the green hat on Youan's head, and forced a smile to ask, "I heard that you are a special doctor in the Logistics and Investigation Department?" β
"That's right," Euan fiddled with some of the jerky that was drying, "you know, just to make some money and to feed Carly...... That's right,"
"Did you say something to my Carly last night? Why did she come back with a displeased look on her face? β
Out of sorts?
Fake, right?
Wayne thought of the six-eyed spider that had crawled in with difficulty, and he couldn't help but complain: "Uncle Euan, didn't you tell you about that six-eyed?" β
It was the first time he had interacted with a beautiful lady in such a strange environment......
