Section 33: Entering the city for the first time
The first time I entered the city in the 33rd
After the matter was settled, the old master asked Lao Xie to move things, but his face still felt a sense of distress, so he simply left and stopped watching.
Lao Xie ignored him and just directed his men to move things. After he went back, he first asked Pas to teach the genius how to command the steel golem, and then summoned the Cyclops to a meeting himself.
As expected, the old mage estimated that when they heard that they wanted to make a blacksmith, the Cyclops were extremely dissatisfied, saying that they were brave warriors, not blacksmiths. Fortunately, Lao Xie was prepared, so he threw out the slogan of making a blacksmith for himself, and then tempted: "You hunt for yourself and cook for yourself. Are you the hunters and cooks because of this? If not, then building armor for yourself is nothing, right?"
The Cyclops' IQ is actually not very high, and they are not even as good as the monster. After being fooled by Lao Xie, they immediately let go. Coupled with the temptation of magic armor on their bodies, they immediately forgot the warrior's bullshit dignity and went straight to the ironwork.
However, it is not that easy for Cyclops to make blacksmiths. Their size is too big, almost twice as big as humans, so these tools for humans are not suitable for them. There is no way, Lao Xie had to ask them to prepare a space for ironsmiths first, and then go to the old master to ask for someone.
The Steven family of the old wizard originally created high-level arms for the empire. The blacksmith shop in the family is the highest in the country. It is naturally too easy to find a few high-level blacksmiths. The old wizard sent a magic letter, and soon ten old blacksmiths came, all of whom were unconscious and were sent by the fat man himself.
When the old blacksmiths woke up again, they found themselves in a strange place. Around them, they were all cyclops with nearly four meters tall, almost scaring them to death. Fortunately, Pas and the old master explained that they were relieved. However, when they heard that they were going to help the professors of the cyclops to make irons, their faces immediately became extremely exciting. They didn't expect that this time, the master brought them in such a strange way, which was for this matter.
But they are servants after all, and since the master is destined, they certainly have to follow. According to the advice of these professionals, the new blacksmith shop was quickly built, and then these blacksmiths helped the Cyclops to make tools for ironwork. After they had a special sledgehammer, they officially began to learn to make ironwork. At this time, the old blacksmiths were surprised to find that it was so good to use the power of the Cyclops to make ironwork. In the past, they had to punch dozens of iron materials, and they solved it in just a few hammers, and the impurities were squeezed out, which greatly increased the efficiency and quality of the ironwork.
Lao Xie only learned about the work of the Cyclops and did not participate too much, because the old mage gave him another task, which was to learn about Steven's affairs from Chrischen, the third butler of the Steven family. At the same time, Lao Xie got the second artifact mask given to him by the old mage, which was real and illusory. This thing looked the same as that made of light, translucent and very fantasy, and there was no obvious feeling after putting it on, but once you looked in the mirror, you would find that your whole appearance and even temperament changed, almost exactly the same as the dead Steven.
To be honest, Lao Xie was actually not willing to pretend to be someone else, but for the sake of the old master's pitifulness, he could only agree helplessly. However, after disguising this time, he still felt upset. Therefore, he did not intend to give a good face to this new third butler Chrischen.
But unexpectedly, as soon as we met, the white-haired old man ran over excitedly to save Lao Xie's thighs and cried: "Young master, you are finally fine! Otherwise, how could I be right to the mistress!"
Lao Xie, who has hundreds of years of social experience, could tell at a glance that Chrischen really cared about himself. His selfless feelings suddenly diluted Lao Xie's anger. He couldn't help but gently pull up the old man who looked like he was in his seventies or eighties, and comforted him: "Haha, why are you crying? Am I okay?"
"Yes, yes!" Chrischen nodded while wiping his tears, but he suddenly said, "Young Master, why are your voice and expression a little weird? It seems to be different from before?"
Lao Xiexin said, isn’t this nonsense? My young master and I are just two people, can we be the same?
However, although Lao Xie thought so, he didn't dare to say it. He just said lightly: "This time I was very injured, and even my memory was affected, but it also made me understand a lot of things, so it was very different from before!"
"Yes!" At this time, the old mage on the side also hurriedly said: "Chrischen, you can stay with the young master in the future and tell him everything he has forgotten. Do you understand?"
"Yes, lord!" Chrischen said respectfully.
"Okay, that's all for today. You can make arrangements first and live here in the future. After a while, Steven's injury will be better. I'll take you back!" The old mage ordered Chrischen.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Master, you must take care of yourself too!" After Chrischen said, he left reluctantly.
When Chrischen walked away, the old mage smiled at the old man and said, "Chrischen is the housekeeper brought by Steven's mother, and he can be regarded as the closest person to Steven's little!"
"Huh?" Lao Xie felt something was wrong when he heard it, and immediately asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that Steven's mother is from the Barbarian Tribe? Does it mean that the Barbarian Tribe also has a housekeeper?"
"Haha, to be precise, this Chrischen was picked up by Steven's little boy on the way here!" The old mage smiled and said, "Chrischen was seriously injured and dying at that time. Steven's little boy saved him. In the end, Chrischen had nowhere to go, so he became the housekeeper of Steven's mother. Later, Steven's little boy was born, and Steven's mother's status was greatly improved. Chrischen became the third housekeeper of the family. Otherwise, it would not be his turn for the housekeeper of a big family like Steven! So he is loyal to Steven, and you can use it with confidence."
"That's right!" Lao Xie agreed lightly, then said goodbye and left, but there was one thing he secretly hid in his heart, that is, he felt that his butler seemed not that simple. As for what it was, he hadn't seen it yet, but he just felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden behind Chrischen. Since there was no evidence yet, Lao Xie didn't say it, just paid attention to it in his heart.
In this way, Lao Xie lived a regular life. During the day, he continued to study with the old master in the morning. Chrischen was also serving him. In the afternoon, under the name of cultivation, he went to the base to see the progress of the Cyclops without telling him. By the way, he gave advice based on his own knowledge and practiced his double magic skills at night.
About a month later, the old master asked Lao Xie to return to the Duke's Mansion to live. After all, this is the old master's laboratory. If Lao Xie lives there for a long time, people will gossip, especially those who want to go in and learn, they will have to make a fuss.
On the day Lao Xie went back, the fat man sent him a gorgeous carriage. After coming out of this place where he had been there for more than ten years, Lao Xie was in a very happy mood. Looking at the various strange buildings and plants outside, Lao Xie felt that everything was fresh.
After leaving Steven Castle, the carriage did not enter the academy, but ran to the city along the path outside the academy. After walking for more than ten miles, the carriage finally arrived at the capital.
Chapter completed!
