Chapter 5: Dean Paan
When Ka Miao said this, some eggs and rotten vegetable leaves fell on Ka Miao, "You wicked woman, are you so happy to see others suffering? Isn't it just a bag of bread? God will not forgive a wicked woman like you." God will punish you. ”
Although these civilians have no spare strength to help Ben and Qingxue because their families are also poor, many of them are also kind, and they can't watch Ben and Qingxue become slaves and be bought by poisonous snakes, so they gather here.
The viper stood up at this time, and in front of these civilians, his waist was straight, "What are you all talking about? Do you want to find something? I just want to buy these two people." Let this girl be a prostitute in the future, and let this boy sell drugs in the future. I'm happy, I like it, I have money, or you buy them. ”
Hearing the Viper say this, the civilians fell silent. Yes, the stupid neighbors are also commoners who don't have enough to eat, where is the extra money to buy slaves. Even those who watch the excitement have some money in their hands, and they don't want to offend the poisonous snake. After all, the Viper is the head snake here.
The viper said to Lao Guan, "How much are these two slaves, I bought them." ”
"One gold coin for a slave, only two gold coins are needed. Lao Guan said. He naturally knew what a viper did, after all, he was also begging for a living in the East End. Although he felt sorry for these two children when he saw them being bought by poisonous snakes, he couldn't help but do the business of poisonous snakes, not to mention that deep down, he didn't want to offend poisonous snakes.
In the Fengyun Continent, one hundred copper coins are equal to one silver coin, one hundred silver coins are equal to one gold coin, and one hundred gold coins are equal to one purple gold coin. Buying a slave for a gold coin is really not expensive.
Just as the viper was about to pay, a majestic voice came, "I bought these two slaves." ”
When the crowd parted, they saw an old man with a white beard and hair approaching, this old man was wearing a white robe of good texture, and he looked very noble and wise.
"I'm Paon, the dean of Orpheus College, and I need two slaves to be a handyman on campus. The old man in the white robe said.
Orpheus Academy is the most famous magic academy in the Lion Empire, with knight department, martial arts department, magic department, shadow department, and literature department. Among them, the shadow department is a place to train killers, and the literature department is a place to train artists. Orpheus means ascetic in ancient language, and the name Orpheus is in the hope that the students of the academy will work hard to cultivate like ascetics and become strong.
At Orpheus College, even handymen come more noble than people from other places. After all, it was the highest university in the Empire.
When Lao Guan heard the old man say this, a flattering smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he said, "Dear Dean, we have the strongest slave here who can become a qualified campus handyman. Why don't I introduce you to the other slaves?"
"I'm going to buy these two slaves. Although they are a little younger, if they are trained with their hearts, they will definitely become qualified handymen. ”
"You can't buy them, Mr. Viper is already going to buy these two. Ka Miao said. Hearing Ka Miao say this, the crowd sighed again.
"Vicious Woman ......"
"Bad Woman ......"
"Rotten Woman ......"
"These two slaves haven't been sold yet, so why can't I buy them?" said Paon, who seemed a little upset.
"I'm a maid at the Duke of Land's palace. The Duke told me to watch the two slaves be punished. So, they should be sold to Mr. Viper instead of going to the noble Orpheus College to work as handymen. "Ka Miao introduced the Duke of Rand, hoping that Dean Paon would back down when he saw the name of the Duke of Rand.
"Even if the king of the empire is here, I still have to buy these two slaves and let them work as handymen on the campus. Dean Paon said firmly.
"I'll give you three gold coins. The viper gritted his teeth and said. Once two people fall in love with a slave at the same time, according to the rules, the two will compete with each other, and the one with the highest price will get the last one.
Paan glanced at the viper lightly, "I'll give out four gold coins." ”
"I'll give you five gold coins. "The viper has increased the price again.
"I'll give out ten gold coins. Paon said lightly. He looked again at the mark of the gray crown on the stupid head, and the leaf-shaped mark on his left hand, which was accidentally exposed by Light Snow.
The Viper finally flinched. Ten gold coins was enough to buy ten slaves, and although he wanted to buy the two siblings and torture them, he still refused to ask him to give ten gold coins.
Unable to buy Stupid and Light Snow, the Viper shook off the crowd and left.
When Ka Miao saw the poisonous snake leaving, she was anxious and embarrassed, but she couldn't do anything.
Lao Guan was very happy in his heart, he didn't expect that these two children who didn't look good could sell for ten gold coins.
After paying the money, Paan said to Ben and Qingxue, "Come with me." So saying, he walked out of the slave market.
Ben picked up the light snow again and followed Paon's footsteps.
The onlookers finally dispersed, and they were relieved to see that the two children could go to work as handymen at Orpheus College.
When he got out of the slave market, Paon stopped a breezy carriage, got into it, and said to Ben, "Get in the carriage." ”
Stupid nodded, put the light snow on the carriage first, and then boarded the carriage himself. There was a lot of space in the carriage, and there was a charcoal basin burning in the corner of the carriage, which was very warm. Ben suddenly felt that his body was gradually warming.
"Go to Orpheus College. Paon said to the coachman. As soon as the coachman agreed, he flicked his whip and drove the car to the southern part of the city. Orpheus College is located in the southern part of Paris City, covering a very large area.
The carriage was moving through the snow. The coachman was experienced, and although the road was not easy, the carriage still walked fast and steadily.
As soon as Ben entered the carriage, he found Paon staring at him and Light Snow. There was no malice in that gaze, but it still made him feel very uneasy. Qingxue also seemed to sense Paan's gaze, so she held her stupid hand tightly and didn't let go, staring at Paon with green eyes. Paon also sensed the uneasiness of Stupid and Light Snow, smiled at them, and then asked, "What's your name?" How old are you?"
Ben immediately replied, "Lord Dean, my name is Ben Hill, and my sister's name is Kazuki Hill. I'm twelve years old and my sister is five. ”
Paon nodded his head to indicate that he had heard. Paon let out a long sigh of relief and relaxed. As soon as he relaxed, he could not hide the excitement in his heart, and even his body began to tremble: finally waited, finally waited for them. I have known the news of their reincarnation for a long time, but I have never been able to find them, and now I have finally found them. It seems that God is still very much on Us.
Paon saw that Ben and Qingxue were both staring at him with wide eyes, and there was a blank look on their faces, as if they were a little scared, a little cautious, and a little expectant. He did his best to maintain a gentle smile on his face, then reached out and stroked his light snow-green soft hair, and then said to Ben, "You know, I bought you two as handymen on campus. ”
"Yes, Dean, I will definitely do my best. My sister is too young to work, I can do the work of two. As long as I am with my sister, I can do any dirty work, tiring work. Ben hurriedly replied, as if he was afraid that Paon would separate him from his sister.
Paon nodded, "I think you all seem to be very talented. Three months later, it was the day of the new students at Orpheus College. If you can be admitted to the Shadow Department at that time, I will remove your slave status, waive your tuition, and let you study in the Shadow Department. And your sister, I will send her to study in the Department of Literature and Art, and of course her tuition will be waived. Every month, I will also give you two gold coins to cover your daily living expenses. ”
Stupid and confused, he didn't know why Paan was so good to them, and a vigilant expression suddenly appeared on his face, because according to his life principles, a person will not be good to you for no reason, he will be good to you, and he must have something to ask for. I don't know what Paon is asking for, "So, what do I need to do?" ”
"You have to spend your spare time as a handyman at the college, and there are many jobs on campus that require handymen. And when you succeed in the Shadow Department, I'll give you some tasks for you to complete. No matter what the task is, you can't say no. You must complete at least one task each year. Of course, if you complete the task, I will pay you a certain amount. Paon uttered these words in one breath, and then looked at Stupid, waiting for Stupid's answer.
"Okay, Dean, I'll do my best. Stupid said firmly. I only need to work as a handyman and complete tasks to support myself and my sister, and I can also enter a prestigious academy to study, and I feel that I have really met the good luck.
"If, after three months, you don't get accepted into the Shadow Department, then I'll sell you and your sister. Because I don't need people who don't have the ability here. Handyman, after all, can be done by anyone. Paon said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Dean. The stupid heart suddenly rose again. It seems that there is really no free lunch in this world, and if you want to have such generous conditions to stay in Orpheus College, you must also be capable. I don't know what the conditions for being admitted to the Shadow Department are, and I don't know if I can be admitted to the Shadow Department, so I'm stupid and entangled in my heart.
