Chapter 1 (1/2)
The wooden door has not been opened for some time, and the light from the outside is transmitted through the hole eaten by insects.
Until——
”Sir, you have found the right person! This house is the most magnificent building here! No matter what you buy it for, it's a sure bet! Although it is dilapidated, as long as it is well decorated, it will appreciate more than ten times and a hundred times! You can't lose fifty gold coins! ”
”Ten gold coins, your house is so dilapidated from the appearance. The decoration budget may be more than buying the house. I only give ten gold coins. ”
The young voice is somewhat indifferent, and even some interest is waning.
”Ah? Ten gold coins? No, that's too little! I'd better take you in and have a look at the internal structure. It must be worth it - ”
”Ten gold coins. If I don't sell them, I'll buy the house in the next town. They're cheaper than you.”
”Well... But... How about ten gold coins... Forty gold coins? This is the biggest house in Pelican town! You can't find such a good house within a hundred miles! ”
The young voice looked very sleepy: ”fifteen gold coins, paid in one time. And if life here is good, I can introduce more business to you. Otherwise, I'll go now. ”
”Ha ha, brother, you are really good at business! ok After that, I'll be a neighbor in a small town. I've convinced you! ”
With a crisp click, the closed door was slowly opened.
With a gentle push of the young man's hands, the sun poured in from the door, filled the whole hall, awakened the years that had lost vitality for a long time, and filled this small world with the freshest air!
”Cough, cough...”
Unfortunately, this first breath of fresh air doesn't seem very friendly.
Arrow pinched his nose and was forced out as soon as he stepped into the gate. He covered his hat over his head so that he wouldn't fall off because of his cough.
When the musty smell in the house was a little ”friendly”, arrow reluctantly walked in.
Nice house - if only talking about space.
Standing in the middle of the first floor, arrow looked around briefly.
Like its appearance, this house is one of those very old wooden houses. The walls were covered with rotten wood, the floors were pitted, and there were holes in several places.
It used to be a tavern. The wooden bar counter covered with cobwebs was covered with a thick layer of dust. Several chairs were placed in the corner. When you reached out and lifted them, the whole chairs immediately crackled away. This made arrow afraid to touch the wooden frame and table over there, for fear that the whole house would fall apart with a little movement.
”Gee, fifteen gold coins.”
Arrow touched his pocket, which contained eighty-four gold coins and some loose money. He looked at it, but he knew what the money meant.
With the footsteps of arrow wandering, the dust rose and whirled in the sun. When his footsteps fell on a floor in the corner of the room, the hollow sound under the board couldn't help arousing arrow's interest.
He stepped back a little and swept away the dust on the floor. A frail FA array with a wing structure floats in front of ello.
”Seal? HMM... does it look a long time ago? The seal effect... Ah, it's open. ”
With the gentle push of arrow's hand, the originally seamless wooden board formed a downward cavity. Arrow waited for a moment at the entrance of the cave. After confirming that nothing strange rushed out, he dared to look down.
Although he doesn't know magic, arrow doesn't read less public magic books at school.
Indeed, many powerful seals are used by magicians to attack others and imprison magic objects, but some seals are purely used by magicians as the door lock of a safe. If the house really lasted so long and nobody took care of it, maybe there was a treasure hidden under it that some magician forgot to take away?
At the thought that there might be treasure, ello's eyes lit up immediately!
He covered his hat and walked carefully down the stairs into the basement.
”This is an abandoned wine cellar? Well, it's good. It can be used as a warehouse in the future. ”
The space in the basement is almost half the size of the first floor. Looking up, several places with holes on the first floor just didn't affect here. Several columns made of rock survived the traces of years and supported the space from collapse.
Arrow narrowed his eyes and could only see some places near the entrance. But the sun couldn't seem to fill the whole basement. He frowned and turned to the stairs. I want to see if there are candles upstairs.
Squeak——
The door of the basement was gently closed.
He tried to push it, but he was surprised to find that the whole door could not be pushed?
Try again, but the door panel that just looked easy to open now doesn't move like a wall!
”Oh.”
Arrow's mouth turned up. It had become a habit for him to keep smiling when he encountered problems.
Just as he released his hand and wondered if he should smash the broken wine bucket in the corner
”Huh? Strange. ”
In the dark, a ball of light suddenly lit up.
The light ball swayed in the air like life, slowly came to ello and circled him.
At the moment of seeing the light ball, arrow's brain suddenly exploded! He felt a little nervous, but the smile on the corner of his mouth looked brighter.
World of Warcraft?!
So, this seal is not the door lock of a dirty mage, but the seal array of a Warcraft?!
”Huh? Are you afraid? But why are you laughing? ”
The light ball seems to be able to feel arrow's emotions in the dark, but its voice sounds very boring. It seems that its interest in the human in front of us is extremely low.
”A human with almost zero magic affinity, weak body and no special racial talent?”
The next moment, the light on the light ball began to spread by itself, illuminating the whole basement. It was at this moment that arrow really saw the whole picture of the basement and the light ball.
”So why are you still laughing?”
Laugh when you have problems. This has become the experience condensed from Arrow's past life.
The more serious the problem is and the stronger the setback is, the more brilliant you will laugh.
Because only when you smile, others won't know what's on your mind.
Only by laughing can you find a solution to the problem.
”Are you... A cat?”
What appeared in front of arrow was not those terrible Warcraft animals that appeared in the museum atlas, but a cat with a shape similar to that of a cat, but it looked smooth, slightly yellowish, floating in the air, and its ears and tail looked very slender... Cat?
”What kind of Warcraft are you? I don't have it in the school Museum -- ”
”Don't talk so much nonsense. It's time for me to ask you again. It's not time for you to ask questions.”
The cat was in a bad mood and looked lazy, but his big sapphire blue eyes watched arrow very carefully.
If it's an ordinary Warcraft, that's OK, but for a Warcraft sealed by some kind of seal array, the best way for ordinary people is to obey and then find a way to leave.
Lucky! Arrow is the legendary ordinary man.
The cat danced around ello several times and sniffed up and down her nose. It saw his linen trouser legs and the faded but clean big shoes on his feet from Arrow's coarse cloth coat, and finally suspended in front of arrow.
”Take off your hat.”
”Ah... Ah?”
Arrow almost reflexively raised his hands to cover his hat.
”I told you to take off your hat. Why do you hide your beautiful hair? Take it off? Or do you want to resist me? ”
”... well, I'll take it off.”
The situation is better than people, but arrow didn't expect to encounter such a blow when he was just getting ready for a new life. He slowly took off his hat, and a beautiful long blond hair with a natural curl slipped from the brim of the hat.
The cat nodded and continued, ”what's your name?”
”AI... Ariel.”
”Why do women dress up as men?”
”What's your name? Cat? ”
”I said! Now is the time for me to ask you, not you to ask me! ”
The cat could not help getting a little angry when she saw that arrow asked her questions again. It opened its mouth, showed its fangs, and vaguely emitted some unknown dark light!
However, arrow has no magic affinity, so she can't feel these lights. In the face of the kitten, her past experience and education made her respect but not humble——
”You know my name, but out of respect, I can't call you Kitty monster or anything else? And as far as I know, you don't seem to be the Warcraft recorded in the museum atlas, so what should I call you? ”
If a warrior or magician is not timid in the face of it, it can be understood. But such an ordinary person is not afraid of himself?
However, the human girl has a very respectful attitude towards herself. And no matter how she looks, she is an ordinary person and can't pose a threat to herself.
”Well, for your politeness. You can call me Napa. Now, answer my question, how old are you? Why should women dress up as men? ”
Arrow took a deep breath, made his smile incomparably friendly and said, ”Mr. Napa, I'm 15 this year. As for why women dress up as men... It's for convenience.”
”Convenient?”
Arrow nodded: ”I was born in the capital of blue bay Empire and graduated from the Department of economics of old tengshu college. Travel... Men's identity is always more convenient than women's identity. ”
Napa looked up and down at ello again. It seemed that the cat was a little confused: ”Blue Bay Empire? Old tengshu college? Hey, girl, do you think I'm really sealed here? I don't know how to cheat? I tell you, the spirit of the wind often writes music scores with me, and the spirit of the rain sings distant poems with me. The dark elves whisper to me at night about the general and the war. Even the earth elves under your feet will tell me about the rise and fall of the country. ”
”You girl, you look like a farmer from beginning to end. Tell me you graduated from the old tengshu College of the blue bay Empire? Although I've only heard of that school from the ears of elves, it's definitely not a slum girl like you who can afford it and graduate smoothly? ”
In the face of doubt, ello looked very indifferent. She nodded: ”you're right, Napa.”
”But I would like to say that I did graduate from old tengshu college. Moreover, it should be what you heard from the natural elves, the old tengshu College of the blue bay empire. ”
Arrow looked very indifferent. She raised her hand, stroked her hair, stuffed her hat well again, put it on, and returned to the appearance of a young brother. Then he looked around the basement and confirmed that there were no other strange Warcraft here.
”Hehe, I really don't believe it.”
Napa directly expressed her attitude. She hung in the air, hugged her arms, put on a lying appearance, and said with a little lazy look——
”But since you are willing to blow, I am willing to listen. A little girl who graduated from old tengshu college, why did you come to such a place where birds don't shit? ”
