MTL - Throne of Magical Arcana-Chapter 9 Difficult start
——For recommendations and collections ~
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Kushiro looked funny at the strange scene in front of the tavern, and walked to the door with doubts. The tavern was the coldest in the morning.
At the door of the tavern, a slender girl was secretly looking inside, her long blonde hair shaking slightly as she turned her head to the left and right, when she turned her head with a sigh, she was startled: "Lucien ? "
He is someone who knows me but I don't? Lucian was already adapting to this situation, and smiled, "Arrived at the pub so early?"
The girl's wheat-colored skin turned red as soon as she said, "I just heard that a new bard was coming to the Copper Crown Tavern. I was curious and wanted to come and see before helping my mother. Okay, time is running out, I go first."
Looking at the girl rushing away, Lucian whispered softly, and it seemed that the appearance or singing of the bard was extraordinary.
However, this had nothing to do with Lucian himself, so he gently opened the half-covered tavern door and walked in.
The dark space, the strong wine taste, the crackling wooden floor, and the cluttered tables and chairs were the first impression of Lucien on the bronze crown tavern. Come in from the outside on a fresh and bright morning. It's like coming to another world.
It took a few moments for Baluchin to get used to it before she could see where the bar was.
There were several men in the tavern who were hangovers here, awakened by the sound of Lucian stepping on the floor, and after a few words of cursing, he lay on the table and continued to fall asleep.
There was only a man in his thirties with a hawk nose, wearing a long black tight-fitting coat, sitting quietly on a chair by the bar, slowly drinking a glass of amber wine, giving Lucian a gloomy feel.
On the arrival of Lucien, the gloomy man just glanced a little and continued to taste the wine in his glass.
Lucien looked around, and soon saw the dwarf sleeping and sleeping behind the bar. He was sitting on a high one-stool, leaning his head against the bar, and the snoring sounded loudly, and the outflowing saliva would become a golden bow. The long beard got wet a lot.
Seeing that there was no external force, the dwarf did not seem to be awake for a long time. Lucian had to bend his fingers and knock on the bar.
In the vague scolding of the drunkards, the old dwarf swayed, slowly raised his head, and said vaguely, "Hi, Lucian, you have finally grown up, and finally understand the wine For the meaning of life, come, toast, toast for our new guests! "
"Uncle Cohen, it's dawn." Lucian called it carefully.
Kou rubbed his eyes and looked at the dim light around him: "I'm not drunk, you don't want to lie to me, this is obviously night, what a wonderful night."
After a meaningless conversation, Cohen finally woke up completely: "Lucien, there are not many things suitable for you to do, and there is no long-term work for the time being. Other things, one is at 9 am, the market The Gucci shop in the district needs to go from a warehouse-like batch of goods to the Shing Mun District. It lacks manpower and three bronze fairs, but you also know that this kind of thing is controlled by the Aaron Gangster. Finally, you need to pay a bronze fair to They can only buy the worst dark bread. "
"There is one more thing. The Musicians' Association is doing a big cleaning today. There is a lot of garbage to be sent to the Belem River outside the city. You rent a four-wheeled cart and go by at one o'clock in the afternoon. You can earn eight bronze fairs back and forth, which is very good. Of course, you need to give Aaron Gangster three bronze fairs.
"More than one o'clock in the afternoon, there are a few similar things, but unless you are a knight, you can't drive back from outside the city."
Baluchien nodded, the musicians association was the best job, and at the same time he speculated, "These seven coins on my body should be copper fairs."
"Uncle Cohen, is there anything else that pays more?" Lucian asked curiously.
Cohen laughed: "Ha ha ha, of course, but none of them are suitable for you. That requires real men to fight with life and strength. Lucian, you are a child who dare not drink ale."
Then he pointed to the open space in the middle of the tavern and became a little serious: "The dark mountains are the biggest treasures. There are three, five, six, seven every year. Forget it, I ca n’t count them. In short, there are many, many mercenaries and adventurers. They entered the dark mountains, but only a very small part of them finally came out ... "Cohen sipped a wine drunk," Of course, they are all rich. "
"Don't underestimate these mercenaries and adventurers, there are many real knights, even big knights among them." A soft and magnetic voice sounded behind Lucian, and the ending of each sentence was strange Rising, showing a strange rhythmic beauty, giving people a sense of temptation and elegance.
Lucien busily turned his head, and saw the tavern opened as the hotel's side, and came out a silver-haired man, skinny pants, red jacket, high-necked black coat, and apparently very formal clothes. Very lazy and casual, deep and fine facial features, silver pupils, strong nose bridge, thin lips, paired with silver and silky hair, strange and handsome, seeing him, as if there is a beauty of seeing the silver moon at night .
The young man walked over slowly, holding a harp similar to Joel.
"He's the new bard?" Lucien guessed, then asked in confusion: "Knights are all true nobles. Why would they venture out in the dark mountains to find wealth?"
Coon greeted, "Hey Rhein, don't you have a drink?"
"I only drink at night." Rhine sat down beside the bar with a smile. "In many countries in the east, there have been no wars in two or three hundred years. The need for knights is not so urgent. After all, it is necessary to enclose a knight. For the manor and the land, even if the civilians have inspired the bloodline power, they can at most get the knighthood, and they cannot become the true nobility. Some of them went to other countries, became knights of other countries, and some went to Vau. The Principality of Ritter, the closest place to heretics, heretics, dark creatures, Warcraft, etc., to build merits and find wealth. "
"In addition, there are many poor knights who went bankrupt, knights who escaped crimes, abide by family rules, noble knights who toured the mainland, and inspired blood power, but because of their dark nature, they were not recognized by the church or even hunted down. dark Knight."
Cohen muttered a few words, and was a little upset that Rhein did not accompany himself to drink: "Lucien, this is the new bard, Rhein, Rhein Karendia, who is wandering and knowledgeable , Just got rid of the enthusiasm of the Tria nobles and came from the kingdom of Syracuse. "
"The Kingdom of Syracuse?" Lucien nodded to Rhine with a smile. The dark mountains were so dangerous that even real knights died in it, so Lucien temporarily dismissed the idea of adventure for wealth, no matter what time Sober understanding of one's own strength is very important.
Korn laughed, his long golden beard shook violently, and the wrinkled dwarf face said with an ambiguity that all men knew: "Yes, that is the passionate, unrestrained, and love is above all the Sura Ancient kingdom. "
When a drunk man appeared in Rhein, he woke up, stumbled to the bar, drank wine, and asked with longing and admiration: "Rhein, Mrs. and ladies of Tria, are they as legendary? Beautiful, um, so passionate? "
With a faint smile, Rhein said in his own unique, elegant and rhythmic tone: "Well, they have bright eyes like morning stars, long silky hair, rose lips, milky The smooth skin, covered with perfume full of charm, several countess, lady Viscount and even spit out warm, moist aromas in my ears, inviting me to visit their secret estate. "
The drunkard asked expectantly, "Then you have gone? What is it like?" The breathing became quicker.
Baluchien is no stranger to such a scene. A bunch of men are always together to discuss women. While listening with interest, they are thinking about how to ask Cohen to learn about writing.
Rhein ’s expression did not change, and he still smiled and replied, "I said to them, I do n’t like the dirty things that have been used. I only love beautiful, pure, and clean lives. Whether they are men or women, they Is the most delicious thing in the world. "
噗 "Oh, Rhein, do you really brag, ladies and ladies will accept such insults?"
"Haha, if you really say this to the court ladies, I'm afraid you have been thrown into the famous prison in Tria, 嗝."
"Many of the noble ladies, many of them are knights. If you dare to answer this, Rhein will be torn directly into pieces."
莱茵 Rin didn't care about Cohen and the drunk, and shrugged gently: "So, I fled from the kingdom of Syracuse to Aalto."
Kouen laughed at the bar and woke up all the drunks. He shouted aloud: "Thanks for the good story edited by Rhein, so that we can happily welcome a new day, toast!"
三 These three or four drunks are very sensitive to "toast". They immediately hurriedly came and stumbled over, took ale from Cohn, and held up:
"For the bragman Rhein, toast!"
After chanting, Cohen saw Lucien still alive, and asked in surprise: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Organizing the language, Baluchien carefully said, "Uncle Cohen, after a few days, I have a new idea, and I want to learn writing."
哟 "Oh, learn text? Isn't our little Lucien infected by Rhein and starting to brag?"
文字 "Word, O, that's a big, outstanding dream!"
"Luxian, leave them alone, the man has no dream, oh, it might as well die!"
Cohen laughed for a while ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ and then looked at Lucien: "Do you really want to learn text? You do n’t have any foundation. If you want to learn text initially, it is said that it takes at least two years and you have so much money And time? "
"No matter how many thorns are covered in front, but if you don't take this step, you will never be able to move forward, Uncle Cohen, I already think about it." Lucian answered seriously, and for one who has studied for many years, he knows The most important method of learning is that adults who can speak the language of the world fluently, it may only take a month or two to learn the language.
Cohen saw Lucien so seriously, so he answered solemnly: "If you are young, you can go to the monastery to learn characters and knowledge through church selection. Now, you must either become an apprentice to someone and sign a ten-year contract. You can either spend your own money and study at a scholar's house. Of course, becoming an apprentice to others does not necessarily allow you to learn words. For example, many blacksmiths in the blacksmith guild will not, and you spend your money. The entire Alto is a standard price. There are five silver narres a month, and more than ten scholars are willing to teach. "
Lucien subconsciously ruled out the method of becoming an apprentice to others. This is not a problem of a ten-year contract. Once he decides to study magic, the contract does not need to be obeyed at all. He can become an apprentice. It is easy to learn and live with the master every day. Exposing his secrets is also inconvenient to learn magic, so Lucian asked as if to himself: "Five silver narres?"
Cohen nodded: "Well, five silver narres, unless you are busy from morning to night, and only eat the worst dark bread, you can save more than half a year, and how much can you learn in a month? Really Go learn text? "
"Yes." Lucian replied firmly, and according to this calculation, one hundred copper fairs were equivalent to one silver narr.
This is really a difficult start.
