Chapter 134 Reunion of old "friends"

Eat food one bite at a time, and do things one by one.

When Cecil woke up, he found that he was in a strange house. His house was destroyed in the rainy season. Afterwards, he and Langdon lived together for a period of time. After the Battle of God, many houses needed to be rebuilt. In his "wandering" life, the knights left many houses when they left, and he just picked a nearby one to live in, and there was nothing worth stealing anyway.

After the "liver" became the king, Langdon strictly forbade Cecil to sleep indiscriminately, and slept in Langdon's house if he wanted to. Langdon's proposal to share the bed, he regretted with a sigh of relief in hindsight.

As soon as Cecil opened his eyes, he felt the unusual crowding and the warmth of a human body. He immediately wanted to touch the chest muscles he had coveted for a long time. As soon as he touched it, he heard a voice above his head: "Oh , so you like to use your hands first?"

Cecil looked up suddenly, and Moyer was looking at him with a playful expression.

"Ahhhh-"

When he saw Langdon again, Cecil's air pressure was very low, and he was in a state of being dumb and eating coptis.

"What's the matter?" Landon, who is more sensitive, noticed immediately, "It was too loud when Moye called you?"

"...No." Cecil glared at the triumphant half-blood devil, "Don't tell him to call me in the future."

Langdon glanced at Moyer, simply said "yes" and turned the matter over, after all, there were still ten thousand things waiting to be done.

The first thing that had to be dealt with was the seven hundred children.

"Didn't it mean that you can't send knights to other countries except the king's cavalry?" Cecil said angrily, "Just throw me [-] mouths to eat!"

As the saying goes, half-children eat poor old men, these five to 12-year-old children are simply a bottomless pit!

"You also know that there are seven hundred mouths to eat." Langdon laughed. "It's not a knight or a squire, and a five-year-old child is not a squire, it's just... a child." He probably didn't do well. After describing this move, he added with some helplessness, "Burton is not a bad person, but well, it's not good not to stick to it if it's cheap."

Cecil got angry for a while, finally calmed down and said: "How to arrange these children? There is no school at all! What about the teachers? What about the courses? There is still a venue!"

The four king knights were all quiet, with expressions like "this kid has lost his mind again".

"What are you doing?" Cecil said bluntly, "Fast fart."

"Why build a school?" Langdon spoke first.

"Isn't there education?" Cecil recalled the common sense he had learned next, "I remember you said that the Gay Knights would educate, right?"

"Indeed, but it is for the children to learn slowly from the old knight as servants. Otherwise, where do you think I have so many students?" Langdon said.

"The efficiency is too low." Cecil said directly, "Change it to a big class."

Schools in this world don't need to teach basic characters, interpreting magic can perfectly replace this, and it can be said to be the most beautiful thing in the country. Therefore, magic has become a must-have class, and magic teachers are not so It is easy to find, high-level ones are not willing to come, and low-level ones are actually useless and expensive.

"What kind of magic teacher!" Cecil said angrily, "Anyway, he was born with it, so print the book so that the children can't read it by themselves!"

There was another silence in the meeting room.

Langdon's expression was a little strange, with excitement and horror: "Are you sure?"

"What? No way?" Cecil came back to his senses. He also knew how to use his brain. After pondering for a moment, he said, "You mean, this will reveal the secrets about the truth of magic?"

"What truth?" Russell asked suddenly.

Cecil glanced at the other three in turn, and slowly changed his face: "They don't know?!"

"To be precise, only a few people in this world know about this." Langdon sighed, "If you keep doing this, I will cast surveillance magic on you."

Cecil tried to reduce the sense of existence, lowered his head lower and lower, and finally had to whisper: "I was wrong, I was..." I miscalculated the relationship between you, and didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

"Okay, don't discuss these meaningless things." Russell dismissed the scene lightly, "Is this how these children are dealt with?"

"Look for a teacher, and a nanny." Cecil sighed.

"What nanny are you looking for? It's not the young master of a noble family." Russell said, "Do you still need someone to help them dress?"

"I mean... take care of them." Cecil found a suitable word, "Just watch them and teach them what to do and what not to do."

"Oh, don't worry about this, there will be discipline knights coming with you." Langdon said, "There are places to live, but it's a bit broken. We just need to educate the discipline knights first."

The construction of the second ring city wall has not been completed, except for some races who are not afraid of the cold, no one wants to live in the second ring, there is no fire.Some people who are afraid of the cold and infirm have already lighted the kang, and the migrant workers who have not spent the winter here are still very curious about it.

"It's okay, let's exercise." Moyer said nonchalantly, "Compared to the food and drink of these boys, I think your idea of ​​printing magic into a book is too... evil."

Cecil is a bit dumbfounded about this adjective: "As for it? It's just a book, how do you learn it now?"

"Teachers teach one-on-one. Books used to be very expensive." Langdon said.

Cecil thought for a moment, then said hesitantly: "You mean, this will cause the widespread spread of magic?"

"How should I put it, don't worry too much. After all, the current attitude of the magic world is 'learn as long as you want', which is very tolerant. On the one hand, this attitude comes from the 'innate theory'. Anyway, if you can't learn it, it's You can’t learn it, and on the other hand, it comes from the expensive method of communication, not to mention the teacher’s teaching, and the books are also very expensive, even the lowest-level parchment, people like Mrs. Krass in the past still couldn’t afford it.”

Mrs. Class's family is a very classic civilian family. Langdon often pulls this family out as a standard when Cecil popularizes common sense in the world.

"What about Mrs. Class's natal family?" Cecil said, "I remember her parents said that their grandson is going to school."

"Tuhai's schools don't even have intermediate magic. They are not so much magic schools as they are mercenary training schools. Moreover, Tuhai's economic income is not like other industries that have a certain production cycle, such as killers, mercenaries and adventurers. , Even if you don’t finish your studies, you can get a job and earn money, and the school’s investment will soon pay off.” Langdon explained.

Cecil observed Langdon's expression for a while. On the one hand, he was feasting his eyes, and on the other hand, he was also pondering Langdon's thoughts. He probably watched it for too long, and Langdon even laughed out: "Speak up! explain."

"How much magic can you write?" Cecil showed a flattering smile like a thief who was caught sneaking, "It's... well, you can write it down."

"Wow, didn't you, did you hit the head of your king?" Moyer exaggeratedly exclaimed, in exchange for a series of coughs from O'Kasey.

"I can write most of the currently known intermediate magic, regardless of the department, I can at least understand and write it down." Langdon said with some expected expressions, and offered a comparison, "Only me As far as I know, no school or one teacher can do this."

Cecil nodded and bowed while cautiously said: "Then if you write it down, will the Mage Alliance trouble you?"

"I don't think the Mage Union will, because their official attitude is 'learn what you can', but well, some other related personnel will be very unhappy." Langdon emphasized with a drawn-out voice, "I mean, very --unhappy."

This is conceivable, those teachers who teach magic and those who make magic books probably want to go to Moon City and capture Cecil alive.

Does Cecil care?

Of course not, this matter is so settled.

The children will spend a lot of time on the road. Russell said that it will take about half a month. Unexpectedly, the next day, the news came suddenly, saying that they had arrived in Yuecheng. Shocked: Thin, really thin, almost skinny.

There are a few children who are like four firewood sticks connected to a round belly, and they have to hug their stomachs when they walk. Even so, these children can still run with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Cecil asked, "Where did this refugee come from?"

"Does the Kingdom of Glory know about Gretel?"

Those prismatic flying machines grasping the magma, magical devices full of metal industrial style appeared in Cecil's mind.

"Remember, the big buyer of Lomasu magma." Cecil said.

"Yes, further east of Tabnita, across the swamp is the Glorious Kingdom of Gretel, a country of magic." Langdon introduced the background, "There are three countries around this kingdom, all of which have independent civilizations. The messy self-proclaimed small countries to the north of Tambuneta are different, they are about the same size as Ebo. Recently, Gerrit suddenly annexed these three countries, and these children are war orphans."

Cecil looked at a child who ran away after Carroll and asked, "But these children seem to be chronically hungry."

"The war has lasted for eight months." Langdon said, "The increase in demand for magma is also due to the war. The destruction of Lomasu really helped them a lot. In the early days, Gretel adopted a situation of siege, hoping that the three Three countries surrendered, their air destroyed farmland, three countries were isolated after the Might and Magic Gate was cut off, and a great famine occurred."

Cecil sighed, this is something he can't control, all he can do is to accept these orphans, but, thinking that Burton added seven hundred pure eating mouths to him with a wave of his hand, he can't be happy !

Just when Cecil was secretly cursing Burton's false breasts to fall, a familiar man stood up. He took a closer look and remembered that this was the owner of Porto Toto's Might and Magic Gate.

The ominous premonition soon came true.

"Good day, Your Majesty, may the cold wind avoid your palace forever." The boss bowed firmly, covered his chest with his hands respectfully, "There are 780 people in total, who do you pay the bill to?"

Cecil: "..."

Burton! !

Russell paid the bill with magic coins, and the boss was very happy and made a small discount. Afterwards, Cecil had to accept the baptism of his death sight, and didn't dare to look back at the past.

The children came, and they did not run around due to hunger and exhaustion. They were quite honest, but the cavaliers were nowhere to be seen. Cecil and Langdon stood at the door and looked at the long sparse queue, and said with some doubts: "How many are there?" A discipline knight?"

"I heard it was two," Langdon said.

Cecil's expression was a bit distorted: "Two men manage 780 and three children? Can they handle it?"

"Some of them practice related magic." Langdon said indifferently, "I used to take care of more than 1000 children, all alone."

Cecil couldn't imagine that scene at all. Children, especially those in the age group who have a certain ability to express but are not clear enough to express their meaning clearly, are demons. It was hell for a week, and the cries of the children didn't help him with earplugs in the guard room.

Cecil was skeptical about two men taking care of seven hundred children, and when he saw the two discipline knights, his skepticism became even heavier.

Neither of them wore the mobile gem stand uniform of the Gay Knights. They wore simple robes and a big sword tied to their backs. They looked no different from ordinary adventurers. If you ignore their minimum height of 1.9 meters or more, the height It is estimated that the height is about two meters, and the two of them stand together like the twin towers, full of force.

... The problem is that force doesn't do much for children.

Sure enough, the child who walked last didn't know whether it was weak or coquettish. After walking a few steps, he simply lay down on the ground, grabbing the cavalier's robe and refusing to let go.

When Cecil was thinking about whether to use some magic, the high discipline knight took out an extremely long piece of cloth and wrapped it around his waist, then threw the end of the cloth on the ground, like a bride's wedding dress, the last three The child quickly rolled over and lay down, and was dragged forward like this.

Disciplining the knight was very relaxed, as if he didn't care about the oil bottles behind him at all, he quickly walked up to Cecil and Langdon and covered his chest: "Good day, Your Highness Langdon."

"Good day, Knight Cook." Langdon smiled, "It's been a hard journey."

"It's okay." The knight named Cook has thick blond hair that glistens in the sun. This is the most brilliant hair color Cecil has ever seen. It really looks like gold. "These children are too hungry. I basically don’t have the energy to make a fuss. If possible, I hope to prepare food quickly.”

"I have to take a shower." Cecil quickly added, "I have to shave my hair and burn all my clothes."

Living in Yuecheng for a long time will give people a false image of world civilization. After coming here, most people will form the habit of washing every day and taking a bath every three to five times. Take a bath and finally go back to the dormitory. This is the daily life of migrant workers. Those who have a family do this for the whole family.

Seeing these children with his own eyes and smelling the strong stench, Cecil realized that most ordinary countries in this world are still in the feudal or semi-feudal state, or slavery is transitioning to feudalism. For example, Ebo still had slaves decades ago .

Cook and another shorter knight both looked at Cecil. This knight has a beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks like a reliable big brother, and he will also set a FLAG sacrifice before the battle. character of.

"Long time no see, Cecil... ah, it's His Majesty the King now." The bearded face patted his chest expressionlessly, "You still look so young and cute."

What the hell kind of adjective is this?

Langdon smiled and said: "Let me introduce, this knight of Ferro has brought out several knight commanders, and he was once your 'night talk' object."

Cecil was stunned for a while and suddenly understood: Damn, the former Cecil's "mutual baby"!

This is too fucking embarrassing!

Langdon said that according to the records, this Ferro did not do anything with the original Cecil, but he remembered that the parchment records that the two men had sex with each other. In any case, the reunion with this man was not a pleasant thing.

Cecil panicked for a moment, seeing Langdon's smile, he suddenly got angry: "You're laughing!"

Langdon let out a chuckle, and said in the puzzled eyes of the cavaliers: "This... Well, His Majesty the King is now a reformed gay. He is very close to me, and you can trust him."

The two teaching knights responded perfunctorily, and Ferro looked at Cecil calmly for a while, as if looking for an opportunity to change.

Look at the fart, even the soul has been changed!

Ferro's arrival caused some disturbances. For example, Moyer ran to Cecil with an exaggerated smile to make a fool of himself, and deliberately asked about the details of the "night talk" during the dinner party, so embarrassing that Cecil wanted to bury his head under the table go.

Langdon was very cooperative and made a regretful expression, and even said "It's a great regret in life not being able to spend the first night with His Majesty", which caused Moyer to burst out laughing.

Other than that, everything seems to be fine.

The children bathed, changed clothes, ate, and allocated houses in sequence. It was quiet. Moon City didn’t have so many reserves, so they had to send someone to Toto Port to buy them. Thinking of this, Cecil couldn’t wait to buy them. Immediately start the textile industry, the budding representative of capitalism. Cloth and clothes are easy to store and transport, the demand is extremely high and the market is completely blank. He believes that this will be a new economic growth point for Moon City!

"Why are you here so early?" Russell asked.

After the teasing is over, what should be asked is still to ask. Today is to welcome the two discipline knights. Afterwards, they are not qualified to participate in this level of dinner. Therefore, the topics at the dinner table are mostly around discipline knights and children.

"There is a problem with the children, and the healing magic can last for a while, but the lack of food and heat preservation measures is still not enough." When this matter was mentioned, the two-meter-strong man's tone became serious, "I have rushed there as soon as possible, but It’s still too late. About a dozen died along the way, all of whom were too young to be rescued. We have no choice but to apply to the temple to use Might and Magic. If we take a boat, there may be more deaths, even adult men. Might not survive the curse of long voyages."

Hearing such news, Cecil couldn't eat, but he still had some good news: "It's not a curse, it's a lack of vitamins. As long as it's a Sirin ship, it won't have this problem."

"Really?" Cook raised his spirits, "Did you invent new magic?"

"No." Cecil laughed. "It's because of the tea."

It was for this matter that Gray asked Cecil to buy tea exclusively. For this reason, their civilization god was even willing to do something for Moon City.This is a very cost-effective deal, but Cecil did not agree. He just agreed that Serling Royal would always buy tea at the wholesale price in Moon City, which was considered a kind of preferential treatment.

After nearly a year of publicity and distribution, tea has completely conquered everyone in Luoye Bay—no exaggeration, everyone, from the rich and powerful to the common people, plus the mages who are beyond the world. Recognize the virtues of tea.

Mages love the elegance of tea, it refreshes the mind and has no side effects - of course Cecil will not say the disadvantages - adding milk, fruits and seasonings will give you a completely different taste, and there are even various time-consuming and labor-intensive methods. How to eat it, such as washing a cup of sencha, soaking it once, soaking it twice, soaking it three times, and using a special cup and so on. It is in line with the "noble" status of the mages, plus a variety of luxurious and gorgeous packaging, which is convenient for long-distance carrying and gift giving and other characteristics, tea has completely become popular among mages.

Therefore, mages of life and plants began to search for the whereabouts of tea.

The common people do not have a clear understanding of the advantages of tea. They only know that drinking this strange "grass water" will improve their health, and their teeth will not hurt and fall out so easily, especially after eating. as obvious.In a corner that Cecil didn't pay attention to, the tea actually played a part of the role of brushing teeth, which was considered a windfall.

Sailors were even more intuitive. In this era when fruits could not be stored and carried, and there were few varieties, tea was like a life-saving medicine that kept them from dying no matter how long they sailed. It was so simple, rude and convincing.

The demand for tea has doubled, and the price has also risen. Some distributors who are far away from the tea farm directly issued a presidential speech, "No matter what others pay, I will double it." After hearing the report, Ceci I am very happy.

The tea farm is still "state-run". Cecil does not plan to open private "franchising" in the short term. However, the Gay Knights sent back news that a mage is looking for tea. This is not a good sign, and he will not allow it. One of the mainstays of Moon City's economy has declined—one of the advantages of tea is that it does not conflict with the existing market.

The people from Tuhai happened to be here, shouldn't we ask them to stop these mages who are looking for tea?

During the dinner party, the royal knights were busy instilling new things about Moon City to the knights, and Cecil’s mind was full of evil thoughts with extremely local characteristics. After finishing the meal, he returned to the conference room and found There was a woman sitting with her long hair tied up at the end, wearing the typical multi-layered clothing of the Qin Dynasty, she smiled slightly when she saw him come in, and said, "My grandfather's tea, do you want it?"

Cecil was stunned for a while, then suddenly came to his senses: "The god of tea!"

I didn’t know that there are so many genres of moon cakes, and I completely forgot that there are fresh meat moon cakes. However, fresh meat moon cakes should almost be expelled from the moon cake category...the skin is different, although I like it very much ( *σ??`)σ
