Chapter 22 (2/2)
“I remembered that human trafficker then was a dark adult……I saw him s.n.a.t.c.hing a girl so I chased over and scolded him and then kicked him……” Kyle also has a baffled expression: “I was 8 back then, it was my first time going to Winter Wind City, logically speaking, I shouldn’t be able to beat an adult but G.o.d knows why, that adult was kicked down by me and rolling around screaming, maybe I kicked onto his injury. I took the chance to grab the girl and run. This is the gist of it, to be honest it was luck, there’s nothing great about it.”
Liang Li Dong seems to be thinking about something, he feels things are not that simple: “Then, do you still remember how that girl looked like?”
“How can I possibly remember, she was crying until her face was all mucus and tears, cannot even see her face clearly.” Kyle thinks for a while and says again: “But I remember that girl’s clothes are not bad, should be from a rich family……Teacher, why are you asking all these?”
“Just asking casually.” Liang Li Dong shrugs his shoulders, he does not intend to reveal too much to Kyle, innocent love between young boy and young girl are so beautiful, he does not want to interfere and be a third wheel.
“Teacher, you seem to know something!” Although Kyle does not really understand girls’ thoughts, his intuition is quite strong.
Liang Li Dong laughs: “Okay, don’t worry, it’s a good thing. Teacher promise you, if I also receive the invitation, we will go to the banquet together, but at that time, you need to wear more formally, your house should have n.o.bles’ formal wear left behind from before.”
“Yes!” Kyle nods: “Does Teacher need formal wear? There should have a few sets in the house’s storeroom!”
Liang Li Dong shakes his head: “No need, to us spellcasters, a set of enchanted clothes is the best formal wear, it is presentable no matter what the occasion is, there is no need to conform to mortal etiquette and regulations.”
Kyle is very envious from hearing it, he also wants to wear a set of comfortable clothes to attend all kinds of banquets, but he cannot! He is not a spellcaster, maybe not even a n.o.ble’s descendant anymore soon, he heard his grandfather saying a while back, if Reed family does not make any more contributions soon, and there is also no high rank n.o.ble willing to ‘vouch’ for them, in another 3 years, Reed family is going to be officially abolished of this lowest rank honorary n.o.ble t.i.tle.
n.o.ble or not, Kyle does not care, but he is worried that his grandfather will not be able to take this kind of shock, the latter value the family honor the most.
After getting an answer from Liang Li Dong, Kyle is much more relieved. Although the answer is ambiguous, he believes Liang Li Dong will not harm him, and after staying here to chat for a period of time, he bid his teacher farewell, returns home to rest and sleep.
Liang Li Dong continues crafting magic scroll, he used up the alchemy items he bought very soon. Failed once, succeeded 8 times. The time comes to midnight very soon, System punctually gives the character EXP obtained that day: 19.
Not only did it break through single digit, it almost reaches 20 too. If every day can obtain this kind of EXP, not only is it easy to break through to second level, reaching lv 5 in half a year is not a dream too.
Second day, downpour!
The words lesson is forced to stop. Liang Li Dong is staying in the thatch house, lying on the bed, listening to the sound of the rain outside, repeatedly sighing. If the lesson quest cannot be conducted, the EXP gained today will be slightly lesser again and because the alchemy items are used up, there is no way to use crafting scrolls to gain character EXP, in other words……Today is considered wasted already.
Joan shrinks in the blanket looking at him, slightly puzzled: “Although cannot teach the kids already, relaxing once in a while is not bad too, why so depressed.”
“If cannot do anything, there is no way to obtain character EXP, cannot become stronger.” Liang Li Dong feels a bit depressed, his gaze sweeps over Joan, and then he is stunned, after a while, he says: “Joan, I remembered……your feathers should be mainly white.”
“Of course!” Joan says very proudly: “White feathers are the prettiest and n.o.blest.”
“But the feathers you’re growing out now, seems to be all golden!” Liang Li Dong points to its body.
Joan lowers its head and takes a look at its body, and then with a ‘ah’, it shouts: “What is going on, how did I become like this.”
After 2 nights, Joan finally grew some feather stubble, no long bald like 2 days ago but the strange things is, the color of the feathers changed completely. Although only a tiny bit emerged from under the skin, it is all bright gold tips, the same color as Liang Li Dong’s hair.
Joan makes a fuss for a while, and then suddenly says: “Eh, this kind of gold color seems very pretty too.” It lifts its head and looks at Liang Li Dong’s hair, then looks at the feather on its body: “Why is my new grown feathers the same color as your hair? After becoming a familiar, will familiar’s outer appearance become like their master?”
“No, there’s no such saying!” Liang Li Dong shakes his hands, at least he had never heard of this kind of thing in the game.
