Beta put away the white paper on the desktop, then shook her head and said, "I said before that the World Tree didn't fall asleep so quickly, and even if we go back now, there is no way to rescue Alice. Unless there is a demigod The strong help us, otherwise no one can stop World Tree's spiritual attack."
Kyle continued to ask after hearing the words: "Then what are your plans?"
"I got a lot of useful information from the caliph just now." Shuai Beta had a dark smile on his face: "Although a gold coin is very expensive, compared to the information given by the old scholar, I feel that I have made a lot of money." .”
"Teacher, what are your thoughts?" After getting along with him for a few years, Kyle also knows the character of his teacher. He is indeed a kind person, but if something good happens to him, he will not casually go along with it.
Beta looked at the snow falling outside the window and said, "There is no Temple of Light here, only the so-called Zoroastrian Cult. I think we can try to promote our Wealth God Cult here. What do you think?"
Kyle shrugged: "Teacher, you can decide this kind of thing. Anyway, I'm not very good at thinking about things. I will do whatever you ask me to do."
Kyle is not really stupid, but he knows that he is still young, whether it is doing things or thinking about things, he is not as thorough as his teacher. Instead of talking nonsense and making many mistakes, it is better to watch quietly from the sidelines Learning the teacher's way of doing things, for example, in the elf forest, the teacher's arrangement method is worth learning from in his opinion.
Beta took out a piece of white paper again, scribbled on it for a while, and then drew a big circle on one of the lines: "First decide on this step."
...
...
About ten minutes later, the caliph returned to his small home. The tiles on the roof were a little missing, so they could only be replaced with thatch.
The son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren curled up in the house, snuggling up to keep warm. When they saw the caliph come back, they all showed hopeful eyes. They knew not long ago that the caliph was invited by a nobleman. Now that he is back, whether Got enough rewards
The Caliph didn't say anything, he just opened his tightly clenched fist, the light of the gold coin was extremely dazzling in the darkness.
Everyone in the room jumped up, they no longer felt the cold, and everyone only had that shiny gold coin in their eyes.
Warm clothes, steaming food, and hope for future life...all in this gold coin.
Just when the caliph returned home, Roderick, the lord of the city, received the news. The average castellan is not too young, but Roderick is an exception, he is only sixteen years old.
Roderick himself did not have any enmity with the Caliph, but the former city lord, that is, his father, did not like the Caliph, so as a son, it was normal for him to continue to help his late father suppress people he disliked.
The steward of the castle bent down and told the news he heard: "The caliph got a gold coin. The magician is very generous."
Roderick had a look of helplessness on his face: "The caliph has survived another winter, and his family is about to run out of food, and no one dares to borrow money to send him food. Unexpectedly, another foreigner comes here. Magician, this old immortal is really lucky."
The butler showed a gloomy smile: "Master, do you want me to send someone to snatch that gold coin?"
Roderick shook his head: "No need, it depends on the owner to beat the dog. It is easy to grab Roderick's gold coins, but it is a matter of the face of the magician. We snatched what he gave without making a sound. Let's go, in case he feels ashamed, he still can't take his anger on us. It's not worth offending a spellcaster for a caliph."
The butler was a little unwilling: "The arrangement was so difficult that it was about to kill the caliph, and this made him escape again. I always feel uncomfortable."
Roderick showed a sinister smile on his slightly green face: "It doesn't matter, so what if I can survive this winter, I am still young, if one winter plan fails, I will wait for the next winter, and he will leave No, I can only stay in my territory and wait for me to slowly consume him to death."
The housekeeper sighed: "The old dog's life is very good."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the butler straightened his expression. He opened the door and found that it was the commander of the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the castle.
"The city lord, and the old housekeeper, a spell caster came outside and said he wanted to see you."
Roderick and the butler looked at each other, and after a while, Roderick coughed and said, "Please come up."
In the living room on the second floor, Roderick saw the visitor, a very handsome magician with shiny golden hair.
"Such a young city lord?" Beta was also surprised when he saw Roderick. Generally speaking, most of the city lords are middle-aged. After all, they have to have certain knowledge and ability before they can sit on the seat of the city lord. Stability, and the most important reason is that when the previous old lord resigns or dies, most of the successors are already middle-aged.
For those who can become city lords at a young age, in most cases, something happened to the old lord, and in a few cases, the young successor seized power.
The city lord in front of him is too young, and it is not an exaggeration to use the word young to describe it. It is probably because the previous lord had an accident that he took the position.
"It doesn't matter if you are young or not. I am the lord of this city. For at least fifty years, this city will be mine."
The young city lord looked aggressive, but Beta didn't take it seriously. He sat down and smiled and said, "I just came to this city today, and then asked a scholar to ask about the surrounding situation..."
"Caliph's old dog, I won't take his life for the time being, for your sake." Roderick interrupted Beta: "You don't have to come here to speak for an old man. love."
Beta froze for a moment, then laughed softly: "I didn't know that he offended His Excellency, and I didn't come here for him."
"So you're not going to save his life."
Beta shook his head: "If I knew in advance that he had offended the city lord, I wouldn't protect him. But now I gave him a gold coin and chatted with him for nearly three hours... If someone wants to kill him at this time, of course I will I have to keep it, anyway, I am also a spellcaster, and I want to save face."
Roderick was very satisfied when he heard this. The other party was neither humble nor overbearing, and he spoke in an orderly manner. He was very convinced.
"If that's the case, let's spare that old dog one more time." Roderick waved his hand vigorously: "Your Excellency is here this time, is there anything I can help you with?"
