Chapter 11: A New Neighbor
"The master is still young, and his strength has not yet awakened. He was asked to work as a handyman to cover his identity. Paan said, "There were many doubts in the war between gods and demons three thousand years ago, and it is better not to reveal the identity of the master so early." ”
"You can make the master a student, so that you can disguise his identity, but let him be a handyman. ”
"At first, the master was demoted to slavery for stealing a bag of bread. Luckily, I found out and bought it. The other day, I have removed the identity of master slave. Is there anything wrong with me doing this? I'm also going to let my master go to the Academy's Shadow Department in two months. But he still has to have an identity. Handyman is the best cover-up, why don't you understand my painstaking efforts?"
Hearing Paon say this, the expression on Kander's face softened a lot, "Someone actually reduced his master to a slave, who is so bold?"
"It's the Duke of Rand's man. Paon replied.
"A little duke dares to treat his master like this. When you are free, you must look for his bad luck. As he spoke, Kander tilted his head slightly and said to Paon, "Now that I have found my master, I must follow him and serve him." I don't care what the master's identity is now. ”
"And what do you decide to do?" asked Paon.
"Tomorrow I will settle down with my master. ”
"Then whatever you want. I still advise you not to reveal the identity of the owner so early. Paon said.
"I naturally know this, I don't have to worry about it. ”

The next day, Ben found that there were many people around the wooden house, holding materials and tools, as if they were going to build a house. Naturally, Kander also appeared around the cabin.
The men were quick and built another cabin in less than a day. The fresh wood gives off the unique fragrance of wood, and the handmade ,----- this cabin is much stronger than the stupid one.
By the end of the evening, Kander had paid everyone, and the men had left one by one. This is what I saw when I came back from delivering the newspaper.
"Master, are you back?" said Kander respectfully to Ben.
The stupid brow furrowed, and he was a little wary of this person who came uninvited to be his neighbor, and for this person who always called him master. He didn't know why he had built a house here, but it didn't cause any objection from the Academy, and it seemed that he had done so with the consent of Dean Paan.
"I repeat, I am not your master. I'm just a handyman at Orpheus College. Stupid walked into his cabin and shut Kander out.
Kander didn't mind at all, and walked into his cabin: there was still a long way to go. Although the master did not recover his memory, it will take time for the master to accept himself, but he is not discouraged at all.
Thinking of so many years of lonely wandering, thinking of the days without a master for so long, Kande's heart was naturally excited and happy. He baked a cake in his cabin. Having lived long enough and having served his master, Kander can do anything. He can become a musician, an artist, a cook, or even a housekeeper or waiter when needed............
Ben and Light Snow are eating Ben's freshly cooked noodles in the room. I'm full now, but I can't say it's delicious. After all, Ben is only a twelve-year-old child, and he has no talent in cooking. He can only make some noodles and gnocchi to feed himself and his sister. Although it only added some vegetables and beat a poached egg noodles, Ben ate it very sweetly.
In the days of the academy, Ben felt very happy, he could eat enough, he had a proper job to do, he had a warm nest, and he had time to cultivate the Shadow Fighting Qi, and Ben really didn't know what he wanted in life.
When Kander knocks on the door of the stupid cabin with a tray in one hand and a large piece of cake, he sees the scene of Stupid and Qingxue eating noodles.
"Host, I baked a delicious brioche bread, please taste it. Saying that, Kander looked at the noodles that Ben and Qingxue were eating, "How can the master eat such an unpalatable thing? ”
The first thought that rose from the bottom of the stupid heart was to close the door and shut out this mentally challenged person. But he began to hesitate when he saw the light snow. The cake is very sweet and has a strong flavor. Light Snow stared at the cake in Kander's hand and inadvertently drooled.
Naturally, Kander also saw the light snow, and immediately smiled and said, "The little master will definitely like the old slave's cake." Please let the old slave serve the master and the little master to eat. ”
Stupid saw the light snow, saw the sweet cake in Kande's hand, and finally failed to drive Kande out.
Walking into Ben and Light Snow's cabin, Kander put down the cake, cut it with a knife, and put a piece in front of Ben and Light Snow. Kander's craftsmanship is really, really good. This cake is no worse than the cake sold in that store on the East End.
Ben was a little reserved at first, but seeing that Qingxue had no scruples and ate the cake, he also began to eat the cake with confidence.
Kander, on the other hand, stood beside him and began to look at the furnishings of the hut, cursing softly to Paang, "This Paang has let his master and little master live in such a bad place, and his conscience has been eaten by dogs." ”
"Such a dilapidated log cabin that even the master's slave would not want to live in. Actually let the host live here. ”
............
In the days that followed, every time it was time to eat, Kander would use food as an excuse to knock on the door of the stupid cabin. Kande's cooking skills are really good, and with the fact that he puts a lot of effort into it, he can always make food that makes stupid and light snow drool. From a piece of cake at the beginning, to steak, salmon, small mushroom soup later......
In the past few days, Ben and Qingxue have tasted food that they have never tasted when they are so old. Although Stupid didn't refuse Kander's food, his brow furrowed more and more as Kander entered the cabin.
Kander, on the other hand, was getting happier and happier, more and more casual in the stupid cabin. Watching Ben and Qingxue eat the food he made with his own hands, at first he was just standing next to him, and gradually he began to find work in the wooden house: cleaning the room, wiping the table, washing the dishes...... These would have been stupid things, and Kander did them.
Finally, on this day, Stupid decides to talk to Kande.
After eating the tender black pepper steak that Kander had served, Ben asked Kander to sit down. Kander was flattered, "Where can there be a place for an old slave to sit where the master sits?"
At the stupid insistence, Kander sat down gently, only half of the chair on the side, his waist straight.
"What is the purpose of you, why do you call me master? I have only been freed from slavery, and I have never been a slave. Who the hell are you?", said the clumsy whisper.
"The master has not yet recovered his memory, so naturally he doesn't know who the old slave is. As soon as the master regains his memory, he will remember the old slave. The old slave is the most faithful slave of the master. Please rest assured by the hosts. The old slave would never let his master suffer like Paon. Kander said.
"Recover your memory?" said a big question mark in his heart. Did he ever lose his memory? How could he not know?
Kander looked at the ghost ring on his stupid left hand and said, "I guess the master must have activated the crown on the other side, right? ”
Hearing Kander talk about the crown on the other side, some vigilance rose in Ben's heart. He didn't even tell his sister or Paan about the crown on the other side, how did this person know? Could it be that his target was the crown on the other side? It is very likely, after all, it is an artifact, and it is possible to attract some people's covetousness.
As if to see the stupid vigilance, Kander said, "The crown of the other side has always been something that the master has carried with him, and no one can use it except the master, and no one can take it away." The owner doesn't have to worry about someone coming to grab it. ”
I don't know if Kander is telling the truth, and if he is stupid or not letting his guard down.
Seeing the stupid and defensive appearance, Kander smiled bitterly, he has always been called the most loyal slave of his master, the most loyal follower. He is also proud to be called this name. He waited and searched for the master for so many years, but he really didn't expect to find the owner who had not yet recovered his memory. If he doesn't recover his memory, he naturally can't remember who he is, how can he show his identity and position?
