NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 21: Watering
Eldrin didn't know how he stood up, but he finally got rid of the girl's entanglement and straightened his body. The girl's physical strength was limited after all, and Eldrin's unexpectedly strong body was too heavy for her. After a few movements, she was already sweating all over, and her hands and feet were sore. Seeing Eldrin successfully standing up, the girl almost bit her lip with hatred. Isn't it said that boys from noble families start learning to distinguish between men and women at the age of six? A ten-year-old noble boy knows everything he should know. Many boys from noble families may have experienced more than two dozen women by the age of fifteen. But why does this Eldrin seem to know nothing? Which of the students of Legendary Archmage is not from an aristocratic family?
"Impossible! He is His Highness's student, he must think I'm not good enough!" The girl was so conflicted that she accidentally spoke out her thoughts.
"What's wrong with you?" Eldrin asked in confusion. Until now, he still felt that what had just happened was just a dream.
The girl gritted her teeth, her body softened, and she leaned into Eldrin's arms. Seeing that she was so weak that she was about to fall directly onto the hard stone ground, Eldrin had to support her, and the girl twisted herself and pressed herself tightly against him.
However, as soon as he supported the girl, Eldrin couldn't help but gasp!
The girl bit her lower lip again, obviously thinking seriously about something.
She finally couldn't do it. Not because she had a guilty conscience, but because manual ripening might damage the fruit. Even if the probability was extremely low, it would leave unforeseen sequelae. The girl didn't want to take such a big risk.
So Eldrin was able to change into a dark casual robe and sit down at the table, staring at the silver basin of roast meat on the table. This was his lunch, and the same amount would be provided for dinner.
The roast meat weighed two kilograms, not including four equally large side dishes and a large glass of an unnamed and strange-tasting alcoholic beverage. In the past, this was a whole day's meal for little Eldrin, but now it became just one meal, and he had to finish it. In addition to delivering the meal, the girl's other task was to watch Eldrin finish his meal.
Although he picked up the knife and fork, Eldrin was a little reluctant to eat. He was indeed hungry, especially after struggling with the girl for a long time, the annoying mysterious blood quietly disappeared. But he felt very embarrassed to deal with such a large plate of food, especially the nauseating smell of roasted meat. The smell lingered in his nose for a long time, and Eldrin felt that the blood flow in his body was accelerating. He was afraid that eating it would stimulate the unknown hot blood again.
The girl saw Eldrin's hesitation, so she smiled and said, "Eat as much as you can! His Highness once said, 'If you want to have the power of a dragon, you must first have the appetite of a dragon.' That's why the high-level wizards in Deepblue are all big eaters."
Although he was Isabella's student and was full of awe for Isabella, Eldrin was still puzzled by his teacher's famous saying. And it was not just the roast meat, the smell of the side dishes and the wine began to trigger a reaction in his body. In the end, every time a new smell entered his nose, he felt a blood flow in his body. As for the girl who brought the food, she was sitting at the table, with her elbows on the table and her chin supported by her hands, just looking at Eldrin. But Eldrin found that her eyes would become fiery when she occasionally passed over the food. Then she returned to her nonchalant look. So Eldrin knew that this lunch might not be simple.
"What kind of meat is this?"
"The ribs of the Komodo ground dragon." The girl said without hesitation.
"Where's the wine?"
"Fighter's wine, made exclusively for elite warriors of the Ash Dwarves of Flame Gorge."
"Ah, what about these dishes?"
"Crimson Parrot, Kabu berry and Sby blue grass. These are the main ingredients of the strengthening potion, cooked with special methods. If you eat them, you can enhance your strength and physique." The girl seemed to know every kind of food , and this did not seem to be her specialty. Eldrin could tell that she actually had magic power close to level three. Level three magicians of this age were not rare, but they were definitely not rampant, even in Deepblue .
Eldrin nodded and called to the girl, "Come and eat some too! I can't handle so much by myself."
The girl exclaimed, shook her head and said, "No, no! They are too expensive, I can't afford them at all..."
"Just think of it as helping me cheat." Eldrin said with a smile. When the mysterious boiling blood didn't come out to cause trouble, Eldrin was still very smart. Too many changes happened in the past year. And suffering will make a man mature faster.
some reason when she heard Eldrin's words , but she still shook her head and said, "No. I know you mean well, but they are special formulas and can only be eaten by men."
What the girl didn't say was that these foods would also accelerate a man's maturity, but in another way. And this knowledge was definitely not something she should know.
Eldrin looked at the girl again, and then he stopped hesitating and began to work hard to finish the food on the plate. He ate quickly and attentively. The limited time made him very focused on everything he did. Finally, when Eldrin picked up the wine glass and drank the pungent wine in it, the girl's eyes flickered slightly. At this moment, in her vision, she seemed to see a slightly unripe fruit being watered viciously.
In ten minutes, Eldrin had cleaned all the food, and the silver plates looked as shiny as if they had just been washed. Because Eldrin guessed from the girl's reaction that there would be an extra eye-catching number on the bill sent at the end of the month .
The girl began to clean up the dishes, but her movements were a little slow. After the struggle in the bathroom, Eldrin had a different feeling about her. Under Eldrin's gaze, the girl's face turned slightly red. The soft body under the magic robe seemed to begin to have a mysterious attraction to him.
"I haven't asked your name yet," Eldrin said suddenly.
The girl's body suddenly trembled slightly, and she lowered her head unnaturally and said, "My name is Elaine, Elaine Fila."
"So, how can I help you... Oh, no, I mean, you've done a lot for me, and I hope to be able to repay you." Eldrin chose his words carefully, so as not to offend or hurt the girl's self-esteem. He inherited his delicate nature from his mother, and his grasp of interpersonal relationships has gradually become more sophisticated due to the increase in knowledge he gained in Deepblue .
Elaine finally raised her head, smiled, and said, " It is a tradition of Deepblue that you can only get gold coins if you pay. But I know a lot. No matter what you want to know in Deepblue , you can ask me. Of course, I will charge a small fee based on the rarity of the information."
After clearing the dishes, the girl suddenly came up to Eldrin, pecked him quickly on the lips, said quickly, "Thank you!", and then left at the speed of light.
Seeing the girl's obviously brisk steps, Eldrin's mood suddenly brightened up a lot.
The magic circle shone with light, pushing the heavy metal door to slowly close, isolating the living area from the outside world. All the noise was shut out, and the entire area was peaceful and quiet. Eldrin had regained his composure and started a day of study. But the tip of the Firebird Feather Pen seemed particularly slippery today, and the newly opened Lorsgar Infernal Blood also seemed dry, so that the lines drawn on the expensive Nightmare Star Pattern Cloth repeatedly deviated, and several times the errors were so large that the magic circle was partially invalidated. The practice materials used by Eldrin now are worth more than 50,000 gold coins. If the magic circle is partially drawn successfully, Eldrin will be recharged with 30,000 gold coins. This is Eldrin's first month's tuition subsidy.
However, today the pen in his hand just wouldn't listen. Wherever he wanted it to stop, it would go over the place. Eldrin soon realized that something was wrong with him, such as his heartbeat was much faster than usual, and he was particularly looking forward to dinner time. Although this local magic circle was expensive, it was not particularly complicated. It just required a high degree of precision. But this time, Eldrin spent much more time than drawing the most complicated magic circle .
seems to be a bit low this afternoon , but that's not necessarily true..." Eldrin thought.
The efficiency is one-fourth of the normal level, and the answer is given accurately. I have to admit that sometimes this talent is not very pleasing.
Dinner time finally arrived, and the girl walked in at a punctual pace, and then quietly watched Eldrin quickly and accurately finish the food in the bowl. Before leaving, she kissed Eldrin's lips gently as usual, then took his hand and put it on her chest, smiled cunningly , and said, "You owe me a gold coin!" Then she quickly left the residential area.
The girl was in a particularly good mood, trotting along happily, but she didn't notice a group of people walking in the small square not far away. In the middle of the crowd was a handsome young nobleman, who looked about 17 or 18 years old. His clothes were simple and fitted, with a winning hand in tailoring. On his left chest was a small light golden badge, with a double-headed eagle in the center, holding a coiled snake in its claws. Anyone who knows a little about mainland politics will recognize this badge. The eagle and snake are the marks of the Duke of Solam of the Holy Tree Dynasty . And there are very few people in the Solam family who can wear the family emblem on their clothes.
A dozen people followed the young man, half of them warriors and half of them mages, which was quite different from the group of mages in Deepblue . The old mage who had explained the history of Deepblue to Eldrin was now following the young man diligently, telling him with cadence and emotion. In addition to his family background, the factor that enabled the old mage to work so hard was the power of gold coins. The young man listened absentmindedly, observing the internal structure of Deepblue and the people coming and going. His sharp eyes did not miss any details, and even stayed on the magic lamp that provided lighting for a while.
In the eyes of the young man, Elaine's back was going away, as happy as a beautiful swallow. He paused in thought, then looked at the place where Elaine came out. It was a residential area, with only a heavy metal door driven by a magic circle on the long wall, indicating that the surprisingly large area behind the door belonged to only one owner.
"You just said that this is the residential area belonging to that...um, Mr. Eldrin, right?" the young man asked the old wizard.
"Yes! Eldrin is His Highness's newest student. Although he is still young, he is a true genius! Just look at this residential area and you will know that among His Highness's students, only two can get such a large space! And there is a huge secret..." Having said this, the old wizard lowered his voice in a mysterious manner.
"Oh, what secret?" The young man approached the old wizard with interest.
The old wizard looked around and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Mr. Eldrin is a future Artificer!"
The young man was surprised and said in a lost voice: "What? Didn't you just say that he just turned eleven?"
The old wizard was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down: "Keep your voice down! This is a secret. I just said it, it's the future Artificer, the future!"
The young man suddenly realized: "This is incredible! Who determined that he has the talent of an Artificer? Is it Her Highness Isabella?"
"Who else could it be except His Highness?"
The young man smiled, took out a small bag of gold coins and stuffed it into the old wizard's hand, saying, "Thank you for telling me such an important secret."
in his hand and smiled. This matter was a secret only to Eldrin in Deepblue . However, the old wizard was very skilled in using this "secret" to exchange money from newcomers to Deepblue .
The young man took a deep look at the gate of the residential area, and then said to the old master: "The time agreed with the teacher is almost up, let's go now. It is very rude to make the teacher wait for me."
