among the slums.
The people living here are basically orphans, and demons who have lost their magic power due to various reasons, so they are regarded as useless.
Erek is an orphan who grew up in a slum, thinking about how to survive from morning till night. There will be no sympathy from anyone here, even a child, everything depends on himself, he has known this truth since he was a child.
Erek walked into the city carefully, trying to find some food discarded by the nobles. After luckily finding the whole food, he turned around and ran into a few punks.
"Hurry up and hand over the things honestly." A few gangsters showed a disdainful attitude, "Otherwise, even if you die here, no one will say anything."
No one cares about the lives of the demons in the slums, this is something everyone knows.
Erek hugged the things in his arms tightly, without saying a word, and looked over with cold eyes.
"You're just a waste from a slum, how dare you look at me like that?" "I think you're looking for death!"
The few gangsters were enraged immediately, and they fought directly at Erek. The things in his hands were scattered all over the ground, and he didn't say a word when he was kicked and kicked. He just kept looking at these guys with cold eyes. personal.
The more the hatred of these punks was aroused, the actions became more intense, and one of them even directly used his magic power.
At this critical moment, suddenly a water magic was thrown over, everyone was pushed away, and all attacks were interrupted.
Erek's vision was already blurred, and he vaguely saw a black-haired young man appearing in front of his eyes. In his eyes at this moment, it was like a light that suddenly appeared.
"Is this a magician?" They were startled, "Did they just pass by?"
Among the demons, the status of magicians is quite high. After all, most ordinary demons cannot use magic, so they have some magical power in their bodies, making their physical abilities far superior to other races.
"Damn it, it's cheap for this kid." "Hum, he's lucky." A few gangsters cursed a few times and left in a hurry. They didn't dare to offend a magician.
"Are you okay?" Shao Ci hurried over and helped the demon boy who fell on the ground to his feet, only to find that the boy had lost consciousness.
Shao Ci just wandered around in this town to see if there were any clues, but he ran into a few gangsters and beat up a young man in a group... By the way, he helped out.
I originally planned to leave after the fight, but now the opponent is already unconscious...
Shao Ci sighed, "Forget it, let's find a place to live in this city first, and bring this child..."
After all, I don't know how long I will stay in this place, so let's make some preparations first.
As a powerful magician who can use magic, Shao Ci quickly found a job, occasionally teaching some students magic, and earning a lot of money, which was paid on a daily basis. The other party also kindly arranged for Shao Ci to live, and invited several demon servants.
Although it was only a small two-story residence on the edge of the inner city, Shao Ci was only here temporarily anyway, enough to live on.
...
…
Erek woke up drowsily, but found himself lying on a soft bed that he had never felt before, with a faint fragrance smelling from the tip of his nose, and his body was covered with a quilt, which was very soft and comfortable.
Erek thought he was dreaming in a trance, but when he looked up, he saw a young man smiling at him, and he was stunned.
No one has ever been so gentle to him before. After all, people in the slums are only regarded as garbage by those in the inner city.
For a moment, Erek only felt a warm current flowing through his chest. This feeling was so strange that he couldn't figure out what it was.
"Are you awake?" Shao Ci breathed a sigh of relief, "I was worried that something would happen when I saw you in a coma before."
Although after that, Shao Ci casually used his abilities to heal the other party.
He didn't care about the increased favorability, anyway, he would leave later. It is impossible for such a passer-by to suddenly say that he has become a person who hangs up the sky!
After returning, Shao Ci also used magic to clean up the other party, but he was a little surprised to find that this demon boy who looked dirty before was actually quite good-looking.
Erek remembered what happened before in an instant. When he was about to be beaten to death by those people, the young man in front of him appeared and rescued him.
Without thinking about it, he got up from the bed, and under the slightly surprised gaze of Shao Ci beside him, he suddenly knelt down in front of him.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Shao Ci was a little startled, and quickly tried to help him up, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
Erek raised his head, took a deep look at Shao Ci with his golden eyes, and said in a low voice: "Please let me stay... I can do whatever I want, as long as I can repay you."
Of course Shao Ci would not refuse, he also suspected that if this boy was kicked out by himself, he would not know how many days he would live.
"Of course you can stay." However, Shao Ci also considered some issues, and said softly, "Just be my servant. I will also teach you some magic and so on. When you can use magic, How about being my student?"
Eric was stunned.
"What's the matter, don't you want to?"
"No, of course I would." Erek said hastily, his eyes showing a bit of fanaticism while being grateful.
He was so surprised, he didn't expect this magician to be so kind, he was simply the nicest person he had ever seen, and he was so gentle to a person like him who came out of the slums.
He secretly swore in his heart that he would follow the other party for the rest of his life. It doesn't matter if you are a cow or a horse.
After all, the status of a magician is quite high. Ordinary magicians would not teach their disciples casually, but this benefactor is obviously different from others...
To use a sentence that is not suitable for the demons, the other party is like an angel...appearing in front of his eyes.
"Don't be too happy too early." Shao Ci said seriously: "I don't know when I will leave here. At that time, if you still haven't learned magic, I won't take you away."
The reason why he wants to teach this young man magic is also for this reason. After all, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.
Eric nodded immediately.
Time flies.
Shao Ci has also been in this world hundreds of years ago for several months.
He doesn't even know if he can go back... The broken pocket watch has completely turned into an ordinary pocket watch.
The only thing I found out was that the lord at this time was not the one hundreds of years later, but the name of the lord's only son was Julius. It is said that he is very good, he can be called a genius that is rare in a thousand years, and everyone is very optimistic about it. heirs.
Shao Ci: "..." Damn, this is definitely the culprit who got him involved in this matter! Could it be that you have to get in touch with the other party to go back.
To be honest, Shao Ci is going to have a psychological shadow on Julius, and he is still thinking about what will happen in the future if he kills Julius now...
But he just thought about it. In fact, you still have to find a way to meet each other.
In the past few months, Shao Ci has been doing well in this inner city and taught many students.
But it was Erek who surprised him. He didn't expect that Erek's magic could be learned very well in just a few months, and he beat other ordinary students.
You must know that people in the slums generally have no talent... Shao Ci randomly picked up someone with such abilities, which is considered a stroke of luck.
"Teacher, this is the task you gave me last time." Erek respectfully handed a roll of parchment to Shao Ci, "It has been completed."
Shao Ci was shocked, "What? You actually figured out the principle of this magic so quickly?"
He took a quick look at the parchment, and it was the same as what he analyzed with his mental power.
This learning speed is too shocking! Shao Ci felt that Erek must be a magical genius who meets once in hundreds of years.
"Because it's a task assigned by the teacher." Erek looked at Shao Ci with fanaticism in his eyes.
For him, his life was saved by Shao Ci, of course he wanted to contribute his all to the other party... but relatively, he didn't want to leave the other party again.
He wants to be with the teacher all his life.
This is already what Erek is pursuing now, and he is willing to do anything for it. It's nothing to work a little harder to complete the tasks assigned by the teacher.
"Well done." Shao Ci patted his head, and then said: "Then I don't have anything to teach you. You can understand other magic after you have studied it... By the way, I need a herb recently, go and pick it up with the team I hired."
Erek was a little surprised. Shao Ci had never given such a task before, but he obeyed the teacher blindly, so he nodded immediately.
Shao Ci breathed a sigh of relief.
He actually didn't want Erek to buy any medicinal herbs this time. He had already made it clear to the team that he would send Erek directly to other places, and his letter also clearly stated all of this All for what.
After all, a talented demon like Erek can do well in any place. But if this territory follows the historical trajectory, it will be over soon, so it is better to send him away directly.
In this case, he is doing his best to Erek, and Erek should understand.
As for how to get close to Julius, Shao Ci also found out. It is of course impossible for ordinary people to get close to the son of the lord, but it is said that there is a lack of doctors and the like in the lord's mansion recently.
Isn't this simple! ? Although it is necessary to sacrifice a little, those who test are affected by the ability.
After a few days.
Seeing the carriage leaving the inner city, Shao Ci felt that he could rest assured, and went directly outside the lord's mansion, expressing that he would take the doctor's test.
This test is open to everyone in the city. Shao Ci came to sign up so suddenly. After verifying his identity and seeing that he was not a troublemaker, he was naturally welcomed in. It's just that the guards who led him had a bit of disdain on their faces.
After all, Shao Ci didn't have the temperament of a doctor at first glance, and he was wearing ordinary clothes. You must know that doctors are very popular in the devil world. After all, the environment in the devil world is harsh, and the magic power of ordinary people is not suitable for using healing magic...
So a powerful doctor doesn't know how many nobles are scrambling to make offerings, but Shao Ci is so shabby, and his medical skills are not very good, so he has the nerve to come to the lord's mansion.
Because anyone who participated in the recruitment can get benefits, so many people came to fish in troubled waters this time, and Shao Ci was of course regarded as such a person.
"This time, there is an extremely powerful doctor Jared who came to apply." The guard and the attendant next to him seemed to ignore Shao Ci and chatted, "Other people who are not strong enough but insist on joining in the fun must be shamed."
"Yeah, these people are like garbage in front of Dr. Jared. If it was me, I would have left in shame before I lost face." When he said this, the guard turned his head and glanced. It was as if he was afraid that Shao Ci would not know that they were mocking him.
Shao Ci directly looked at the scenery beside him: "..." Speaking of which, the scenery of the lord's mansion is really good, but it's a pity that the lord himself is too insane.
The two people in front couldn't help but feel that the demon's face was too thick, and their eyes became more and more contemptuous.
After the hall, there were already several demons waiting, and a middle-aged demon inside was treated the best, and the others looked at him respectfully.
Presumably this is Dr. Jared. Although Shao Ci didn't know what his strength was, but now he could only say sorry in his heart... After all, Shao Ci had never seen any serious healer that was stronger than his healing ability.
Although there are some side effects, but he will leave anyway, no one will care about it!
Seeing Shao Ci come in, the people inside did not show the same disdain as the previous guards and attendants, but came over to say hello with a smile, and asked who Shao Ci's teacher was.
Of course, Shao Ci directly stated that he did not have a teacher anymore.
Immediately, the smiles on the faces of the others disappeared.
Is this so funny! Is it possible that this person in front of him wants to say that he is self-taught? This is simply ridiculous in the devil world.
The disdain in everyone's eyes was even worse than that of the guards, and they immediately began to chat with a completely undisguised volume, "I also want to say that there are really people who are so shameless and come here for a little reward? Now... "
"I didn't expect there to be such a person in the world..." "I don't know what it is, but I have the nerve to come to the lord's mansion to embarrass myself."
Shao Ci just said indifferently: "No matter what you think, today's test, I will be the one who wins in the end."
[Host, this kind of words are a bit like what the person who was slapped in the face would say before.]
Shao Ci: "..."
What can I do! Now if you want to enter the lord's mansion, of course you have to be a bit high-spirited!
The others were just sarcasm at first, but now after hearing Shao Ci's words, they were almost shocked by his shamelessness, and even Jared took a few extra glances at this side.
The time was almost up, and the lord finally came here with his son.
Everyone looked over excitedly, and Shao Ci also turned his head to look at it.
The lord is very vicissitudes, and he looks like a middle-aged man, with a dignified look. And the handsome young man beside him looks very familiar...
Shao Ci swears with his integrity that this is definitely the childhood of the lord he saw in the future.
It's just that when I look at it now, I find that the other party's face is a little too pale, and it doesn't feel right to look at it. Shao Ci thought, maybe Julius was seriously ill when he was young.
"Everyone is very welcome to come here this time." The lord said a few words on the occasion, and everyone immediately responded enthusiastically. It was Jared who maintained his superior style, and Shao Ci on the side also looked like a salted fish , making others even more upset.
"Everyone who comes this time will be given gifts." The lord said again, "Only one doctor can stay. The only criterion for testing strength is my son."
He immediately pushed Julius out.
"I don't know what's wrong with Julius these days. The magic power in his body can't be used. No matter how many people are called to see it, it can't be solved." The lord looked at everyone, "If anyone among you can cure this Question, I will definitely treat each other with courtesy and make him the most honored guest of the Lord's Mansion."
Everyone looked at Jared at the side. With such a powerful person, they naturally didn't dare to take the first shot. It would definitely be embarrassing.
Jared coughed a few times, and walked in front of Julius. With a flash of light in his hand, a magic circle emerged, which was obviously extremely complicated.
"That's amazing, it's the legendary detection magic!" "It's said that as long as you have this magic, you can see what's wrong with others!"
Shao Ci: "..." So powerful? !
"The magic power in the main body of the young leader is very disordered for some reason." Jared said: "It seems that it is because the wrong power was absorbed during the advanced stage, and it became what it is now. It will take at least ten years to recuperate. Just slowly get rid of all the chaotic magic power in the body."
The lord immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It would be great if there is a way."
But Jared looked towards Shao Ci, his eyes showing a bit of coldness, "I saw that the doctor looked calm before, did he already have some solution?" He had already looked at Shao Ci. People who come to rub things like this are upset, of course they want to find an opportunity to humiliate them.
Shao Ci: "!?" Looking for him? Although he originally planned to come forward.
Everyone else looked over with sarcasm, thinking that this demon clan might not only be ashamed today... Maybe he might even be thrown into prison for deceiving the lord.
