In the evening half a month later.
Outside the small town of Shambhala, near the site of the original No. 13 Mine.
A camp had just been put into use. In one of the spacious rooms, the old lich Afu was sitting on his seat, holding a cup of tea and savoring it.
The tea is sweet tea, with a muddy yellow color overall, and a lot of gray-brown powder at the bottom, which are sugar cubes that have not completely melted. In addition, an excessive amount of honey was added to the tea, making the tea taste sweet enough to kill a lot of people.
But the old lich Ah Fu didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he took a deep sip and tsked his lips with an extremely satisfied expression.
He had been sleeping for too long, and the newly obtained body was that of an old man in the aging stage, which made him extremely slow to respond to many stimuli. Only three times more intense taste stimulation can allow him to enjoy the normal sweet and delicious feeling.
Fortunately, he now has a rich sponsor like Richard, so he doesn't feel bad at all if he drinks more sugar cubes, honey, etc.
Thinking about this, the Lich Old Man Afu began to plan to drink this sweet tea for a few more days and then try the taste of salty tea - adding a lot of more expensive pepper and cinnamon powder would definitely give it a different flavor.
Taking another sip of tea, touching the smooth and white tea cup and feeling the touch like a girl's skin, the old lich Ah Fu took a long breath and was very satisfied with his current life.
Of course, it would be better if it comes with a little more... something.
Taking another sip of tea, the old lich Ah Fu rolled his eyes and walked out of the room.
When he walked outside, he could see that the camp he was in was located on a hilltop. He could clearly see many miners working nearby, walking in twos and threes.
Some miners are walking towards the current camp, some are walking towards other camps further away, and some are heading towards the small town of Shambhala - because time is too short, the camps established near the current mine are far from enough. Accommodation needs for all hired miners. Therefore, most of the miners continue to live in the small town of Shambhala, and it will take a few months for this situation to completely change.
The old man Lich didn't care much about this, he just stretched out his hand and faced the blowing night wind.
Closing his eyes, feeling the night wind flowing in his palms, feeling the air passing through his fingers, the old lich sighed.
"Well, we really should have something." The idea in the mind of the old lich Ah Fu became strong, "Only if we have something, can we truly enjoy it."
So…
Turning his head, the old Lich looked to one side and saw two people walking into the camp where he was.
Because this camp has a relatively high-end configuration, generally only the core members of the mine can stay, and they are at least team leaders. The two people walking over, one tall and the other thin, were Didak and Bo Fei.
The old man Lich looked at the two of them, waved his hand, and said politely: "Hey, you two, yes, that's you, come here."
Didak and Bo Fei were talking, but when they heard the old man Lich's call, they turned around and tensed up slightly.
In the eyes of the two of them, the old lich Afu is a very special and mysterious existence.
The other party came to this mine half a month ago. He doesn't do any work at all, but his status is so high that even the mine owner Waltz can't command him. Instead, he works hard to meet all the other party's requests - no matter how outrageous.
There were rumors that the other party was very similar to a beggar named Ford who once died in the mine, but Didak scoffed at it.
beggar
How can it be
Looking at the other party's temperament, you can see that this rumor is not reliable at all. The clothes and decorations the other party wears, as well as the daily food and tea, are simply not something a beggar can afford.
Didak felt that the other party might be an elder of mine owner Waltz. Therefore, the other party can do nothing and still be served by Waltz.
Correspondingly, if the other party makes some demands to him or other workers, he must serve them and work hard to satisfy them.
After listening to the old man Lich's call, Didak stopped the conversation in time, and Bo Fei quickly walked close to the old man Lich, and asked cautiously: "This... sir, do you have any orders?"
"There is indeed an order." The old man Lich said, "You two think of a way to see if you can help me get it done. If not, go tell your mine owner Waltz and ask him to get it done for me."
"Um, what is it?" Didak raised his head and asked.
"Is this..." The old Lich hesitated, thought for a while, looked at Didak and Bo Fei, and said quietly, "You should be able to see that I am quite old.
"Yes." Didak nodded.
"Yes." Bo Fei agreed, but did not understand what the old man Lich meant.
The Lich Old Man said: "As people get older, they tend to feel... um, lonely, and want to have... um, companionship."
"Ah..." Didak opened his mouth, a little dazed, and his brain tried hard to think about what the old man Lich wanted. Recently, he has been tinkering with explosives to break up ore, and his brain really can't react.
The old Lich didn't care about this, looked at Didak and continued: "I'm not very picky, but I have a few small requirements for companionship. The first one is that the hair must be golden, and there shouldn't be any Motley. Secondly, be young, be energetic, be docile. Got it?”
"Ah... this..." Didak still couldn't react.
Bo Fei grabbed Didak's clothes and answered helpfully: "We understand, understand, sir."
The old Lich smiled after hearing this and said encouragingly, "As long as you understand, please help me make arrangements. I'll be waiting for you here. Don't make me wait too long."
"Yes, sir." Bo Fei nodded repeatedly and pulled Didak away.
The two people walked out of the camp. Didak looked at Bo Fei with a frown and asked, "Bo Fei, do you really understand what that adult wants? Why haven't I understood it until now?"
"Brother Didak, why are you so ignorant!" Bo Fei exhaled, rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it obvious what the other party wants?"
"What?"
"Of course..." Bo Fei didn't say any more. He just made a "you understand" look in his eyes and pressed his hands on his chest.
Didak's eyes widened suddenly: "You mean... woman?"
"Otherwise?" Bo Fei shrugged.
"No, no." Didak shook his head repeatedly, looked at Bo Fei and said seriously, "You guessed wrong, it must not be a woman. Don't think about it, how old is that adult, how can he still miss a woman? . It should be something else."
"This..." Looking at Didak's determined expression, Bo Fei couldn't help but waver, "Are you sure, brother Didak? Then what do you think the other party wants?"
"This... I don't know, but it must not be the end of the woman. It may be..." Didak suddenly stopped in the middle of his words and heard several dog barks next to him.
"Woof woof woof!"
"Yeah!" Didak and Bo Fei were startled, and both turned their heads to look at the withered grass nearby. Then I saw a big dog come out, its whole body golden and without any stray hairs.
"This..." Didak and Bo Fei quickly exchanged glances.
