Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Sean is gone, and he will start to line up, hold guns, walk, etc., in other words, he will learn about the guard of honor.

Separation is a very annoying thing, Zhou Lingke has never been used to it.But there are also very happy moments. For example, Zhou Lingke really thinks the uniforms and armor of the Guards are very handsome.The uniform is a tight-fitting European-style dress, pure black, with silver buttons and silver tasseled epaulets, but that's what Zhou Lingke saw from other guards, and Xia En's uniform is probably a semi-finished product from the tailor.Ritual armor is readily available, but it is not a bright European-style tin can, it is also black with silver trim.The helmet is not fully enclosed, but only protects the head and exposes the face.The shoulder armor is in the shape of a bird's head, the gloves are leather and have a silver flying dragon pattern representing the royal family. The main body of the armor is very long. After Xia En wears it, the hem is just on the instep. This kind of walking is not affected, but it is absolutely impossible to ride a horse. The two legs couldn't be too far apart, and the silver button that buckled the armor was dragged with a small tassel, and there was a palm-width leather belt around the waist, with the same type of dragon pattern as the gloves.This set of ritual armor was also designed by the sage back then. Up to now, although the manufacturing process has undergone slight changes, the overall appearance has not changed at all.

Zhou Lingke and Xia En have always wanted to visit this senior, but his cemetery is not usually accessible.This sage was never married and has no descendants, but there are still many gossips about him and the first King Mangtan in the market, because after his death, he was buried in the royal cemetery. To the left of the king, it was supposed to be the position of the queen, but in fact the queen's sarcophagus was moved to the right.In other words, it should be the tomb where the king and his wife were buried together, but now there are actually three people buried.

However, Zhou Lingke has never been summoned by the king. This is also a good thing. After all, although he and Xia En have made it clear, Zhou Lingke has not found out what is in common between being a teacher for the king and being a tutor for a high school sophomore.He stayed obediently in the small two-story building assigned to him, trying his best to encourage Jerry to speak again.Now they spread a blanket in the yard, Jerry is playing with building blocks, and Zhou Lingke is eating snacks.

"Jerry, you have to talk." Zhou Lingke has never studied psychology, but he thinks that Jerry is a brave and smart boy, otherwise he and another child would not be the only ones who escaped with so many people in the slave ship. He will not be the only one who survived, "You will have to go to the youth training camp next spring at the latest and be with your peers, so I can no longer protect you. And I don't think all children are kind Yes, not being able to speak is likely to get you bullied."

Jerry can't speak now, if this proves that he has a disability, and he pays a sum of money, he can be exempted from going to the youth training camp.But after discussing with Zhou Lingke, Xia En and Zhou Lingke agreed that this was not a good thing for Jerry. It would be fine for them to adopt him, take care of him, and even take care of him for the rest of his life.But Jerry is not a pet, he is a human being, and he has to learn to take care of himself.

Jerry's hand playing with building blocks paused, he bit his lip, and looked at Zhou Lingke.

"No, it's not that Xia En and I don't want you anymore, it's just...look there!" Having never raised a child before, suddenly having to raise a child of this age is definitely not a simple matter, said Zhou Lingke, who was poor at words. Hastily pointing to one side of the blanket, where there is a piece of snack residue, some insects similar to ants in this world are carrying them, "Insects are also small, but when they grow up, they have to leave home with other companions to work, Looking for food, digging the soil and fighting with natural enemies, and then they will find other worms who are like-minded, build their own homes, and reproduce small worms. This is the cycle of life-of course, it is also possible that the other half it finds cannot have children, but they You'll have your own home, too. You've got to figure out how to build your own home now, Jerry."

Zhou Lingke looked at Jerry expectantly for a long time, and Jerry's reaction to him was that he lowered his head to play with building blocks again.

Spreading his hands helplessly, Zhou Lingke has completely lost his temper. He really can't be a parent.Zhou Lingke stood up and decided to pour a drink.But as soon as he turned around, he felt that he was being pulled, and who else could hold him except Jerry?

"What's wrong?" Zhou Lingke bowed his head and kissed.

Although Jerry was holding him with one hand, his head was lowered, and he was still fiddling with building blocks with the other hand.For Zhou Lingke's question, he failed to give a response for a long time.

"I'm just going for convenience, and I'll be back soon." After standing for so long, Zhou Lingke still wanted to find a drink just now, but now it has become convenient.

"I...it's Jerry...right?" Jerry raised his head quickly, looked at Zhou Lingke, stumbled, and asked hesitantly and full of expectation.

"You spoke!" Zhou Lingke yelled in great surprise. He lowered his head and kissed Jerry on the forehead, "You spoke! This is great!"

"Hmm..." Jerry was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Zhou Lingke to be so happy. He was a little happy after being kissed, but his shy little face turned red.

"Yes, you are Jerry, but if you think this name is not good, we can give you another name." Jerry only has one number eight, and like many other high-level slaves, they are born slaves, Because of his cute appearance, he was specially raised, and only the numerical code name is for the convenience of his future master.

"No! It's just... Jerry... can I... call you... Dad?"

"Uh..." Zhou Lingke blushed now, and he awkwardly touched his own face twice, as if it was burning, "Just don't call Xia En's mother."

"Hahahaha!"

——Fate is really strange. In fact, they and this child just met by chance, right?Later, he became his guardian, but only kept a new promise to do some small good deeds.But now... Zhou Lingke probably asks himself in his dreams, "Do I have a son?"

After Jerry finally spoke, Zhou Lingke spent a lot of time learning magic every day. His free time was no longer playing with Jerry's blocks or being in a daze.In addition, he found another guide, Gul'dan, the young servant who received him at Master Polivi's house last time, and asked him to take Jerry around the city.Gul'dan and the others didn't leave the house because Master Polivi left, they were still here.

It was not until half a month after arriving in the capital that Zhou Lingke was summoned by the king for the first time.

At seven o'clock in the morning, just after breakfast, Zhou Lingke came to the palace with a long-lost pie that climbed on his shoulder to sleep again, and an attendant.But the attendant took him to the waiting room, which was a hall with many wooden chairs on both sides.When Zhou Lingke arrived, the place was already very lively, and the whole room smelled of eggs and barbecue. It seemed that many people had breakfast here.The steward brought him here, told him to wait, and left.

"Ethan Harwood, third-class clerk in the official department." As soon as the attendant left, a middle-aged man came over to shake hands with Zhou Lingke.

"Nick Zhou, court teacher." This official department is the official department, but the language here is not as concise as Chinese.

"Oh! It's very nice to meet you." This Mr. Harwood's tone and expression are very sincere, but Zhou Lingke has become more and more sensitive to people's emotional fluctuations recently, so now he knows very well that the other party is not happy at all, he Instead, he should be taken aback now, "Mr. Hesser over there is also a court teacher. If you need anything, you can ask him. Please forgive me, I still have something to do." The latter sentence What I added was a bit malicious.

Zhou Lingke smiled and let Mr. Harwood go.He didn't look for the other Hesel, but just found a random corner and sat down.Pie, who was still snoring just now, Zhou Lingke climbed off his shoulders the moment he sat down, found a comfortable position on his lap, and started snoring again within two seconds.

After Harwood left, almost all the people here distanced themselves from Zhou Lingke intentionally or unintentionally, but Zhou Lingke could still feel all kinds of gazes on him from time to time, some of which were purely curious, but also Some are full of malice.It seems that no matter where the officialdom is, it is impossible to be beautiful or harmless.After sitting here for an hour, Zhou Lingke began to regret not bringing a book with him.After two hours, he was already counting the hairs of the pies to pass the time.After three hours, he started to get hungry.After four or five hours, he was sure that there was no lunch served here, not even water, and everyone else had already started to take out the prepared food and start eating. Zhou Lingke wanted to leave to buy food, but was caught by the guards on duty at the door Jun told him that he could not leave the room unless he was summoned (the place also has a toilet with two compartments).Six and a half hours later, Mr. Hessel, who was "also the court teacher", was summoned.

Seven hours and four ten minutes later, Zhou Lingke was finally called by the attendant.

"Is there anything to eat?" This was the first sentence he said after meeting His Majesty Frank I.

The young king raised his eyebrows and showed a big smile to his new teacher: "Of course."

In fact, Zhou Lingke shouldn't be too hungry, he just didn't eat a meal, and he didn't do any physical labor. Thinking about it afterwards, Zhou Lingke felt that probably his subconscious had successfully found a way to soften him and the king's students. And it was a success, although the food in the palace was not so good.

"The palace cooks are terrible." The new king seemed to agree, though the footman standing behind him seemed to be rolling his eyes.

"So you asked me to teach you the skill of barbecue?" The smell of barbecue shows that the chef's skills in the palace are indeed not very good, but it can also show that the king is ignored, or has no real power, and he can't even decide what he eats .

The boy king laughed again.

In general, the first teaching is not bad.They mainly studied the question of which part of the animal is the most delicious grilled meat, and secondarily learned about the Morgana Alchemy Transformation Array—named after the female magician who invented this alchemical transformation array, which is mainly used to melt low melting point metals.Frank was quite talented, and he made himself a ring, although it looked like a metal ring that had been smashed with a sledgehammer.

It seems that he doesn't want Zhou Lingke to leave, but each teacher only has one hour of teaching time.Although one hour was short, Zhou Lingke somehow understood this young man after getting along with Jerry. He suddenly came to a strange environment, restrained, restricted, and even hostile. He was also a poor child.However, Jerry Zhou Lingke, a former slave, can still help with actions. For the current king, Zhou Lingke can only be a tutor honestly.

Zhou Lingke met Prince Zoe when he was leaving. He is now the regent. Of course, this is not a written title, but even the people on the street call him this in private.They are not completely strangers, after all, they met last time.

"Master Nick?"

"His Royal Highness."

"It seems that I am not good at acting. I think you can guess that I am standing here waiting for you."

Zhou Lingke was a little uncertain what to say with such a direct gesture of favor, so he simply kept silent.

"I heard about your Tower of the Undead, I really want to see it with my own eyes, to hear it, it must be very...wonderful and magical..." Zoe closed her eyes, as if really intoxicated by the unknown In the sound of music.

"Wonderful, yes. Miraculous, but not. The effect produced by that tower is only the inevitable result of a series of alchemical formula calculations, using words such as mysterious, wonderful or surprising, uncertain, unexpected, etc. The description is just a layman's opinion. From the most basic three-spin T-shaped crystal alchemy alloy skeleton...to the triangular thread magic circle...you have to know that the chain structure will produce..." Zhou Lingke began to explode professionally Terminology, he lets himself sound like an academic lunatic.

Prince Zoe was able to listen with a smile at the beginning, but the mourning tower is unique, not just for its function.There are a lot of technical terms that Zhou Lingke created by himself, because they have never appeared in this world. Even a great alchemist here may not be able to understand them, let alone a politician? After 10 minutes, the prince could no longer keep the smile on his face. In fact, he also knew that Zhou Lingke was pretending, because he had already learned about Zhou Lingke's words and deeds from many channels before that.But the more painful thing is that he can't say "brother, stop pretending, I know what kind of person you are"

During the interval when Zhou Lingke spoke dryly and closed his mouth to save his saliva, Prince Zoe finally bid farewell, which also meant that Zhou Lingke could finally go home.

Such a peaceful but mushroom-growing life lasted for half a month. When Xia En finally came back, the first thing Zhou Lingke did was to hug the person who just came back at the gate and gnaw wildly.So much so that he didn't hear Xia En's first sentence clearly, and he really didn't understand what was the long series of ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?

"What?" Zhou Lingke let go of Xia En when he was finally satisfied.

Xia En wiped the water stains on his lips with his hands. He thought he was going to choke to death on Zhou Lingke's tongue: "I'm going to fight."
