Chapter 121 Asking for Blessings Seven Thousand Words The dwelling of Cavihill was in the northwest of the city of Osgilia, which was far from the royal palace.
The city of Osgilia is huge, the buildings are majestic, the people are dressed in fine clothes, and the streets are wide and clean, even though it has just snowed in winter, but the streets are extremely clean and there are no stains to be seen.
Passers-by have a rich and relaxed smile on their faces, giving the city a vibrant flavor.
Occasionally, a patrol of soldiers on horseback could be seen weaving through the streets, their bright armor making a fine metal crack, their axes and guns shining, and the horsemen with a majestic and reserved expression on their faces, riding on horseback with their heads held high.
The buildings on both sides of the street are typical of Byzantine style, with round pillars, tall and majestic, often ordinary shops, but also small buildings with at least two or three floors, and on both sides of the shops, all kinds of signboard curtains fluttering, a prosperous atmosphere.
However, Char had something on his mind, and he was much less shocked by these scenes, and he was not in the mood to watch the grandeur of this heroic city on the continent along the way, but his face was solemn, although Ruer next to him was comforted, he didn't know how to speak, so he could only explain some of the customs and customs of Osgilliaria at will.
"The east of the city is the forbidden land of the imperial palace, and the church headquarters is also there, and the north of the city is the area of the aristocracy and wealthy, in recent years, some rich and noble families also like to make up there, but the land price is getting more and more expensive, alas, with Lao Tzu's military salary, I am afraid that I will fight for a year, and I can't afford to buy a house now.
Cavishir lived in the northwest corner of the city, which was populated by wealthy families with some background and wealth, worse than the aristocratic families, but much better than the commoners who lived in the south of the city.
Well, by the way, your first time in Osgilia, you must go to see the arena, and in a few days, the competition will begin, and there are a lot of foreign samurai in the city, but the guys in the garrison are busy."
Oskilia was indeed huge, with two horses in front and a line of retinue guards following behind, and two servants, Dodoro and Soyt, naturally joined Ruhl's squire.
Walking on the street, I don't know how many streets I have walked, how many intersections I have crossed, how many prosperous places I have passed, and finally after two hours, the street in front of me is finally secluded, after passing through a street entrance, the street is still wide, but there are no complicated pedestrians on both sides, there are tall holly trees planted on both sides of the road, even in winter, it still adds a touch of green vitality to this quaint and majestic city, and there are some large-scale courtyards on both sides of the street.
Apparently the people who lived here were well-to-do, and there were no walking vendors on the road, only two or three horse-drawn carriages that occasionally passed by.
Everything seems silent and peaceful.
"Here we are."
The fat man reined in his horse and pointed to the intersection in front of him: "I'll send you here, you turn left at the intersection in front of you, and you can see Cavishir's residence, uh, I don't want to go to that guy's house, I'll take someone here and wait for you." ” Char clenched his fists and glanced at the fat man dissatisfied.
The fat man smiled bitterly: "Cavishir's temper is very strange, he only said to see you, but not me." ” "Okay."
Char sighed: "What does the gate of his residence look like when you turn left in front, I don't want to go wrong." ” "Don't worry, after turning left at this intersection, there is only one family on the street behind, and there is only one gate, and His Majesty the Emperor gave him that entire street many years ago."
Char alone urged the horse to walk through the intersection, and after turning to the left, sure enough, as the fat man said, there was a street behind it, on both sides of which were tall courtyard walls, with huge blue and white bricks piled up, square and neat, and some dwarf shrubs were planted under the root of the wall, which were also built smoothly, and the road was flat, obviously the flat was repaired very carefully, and at the end of the long street, it was a gate that was not too tall, but it was full of solemn and quiet atmosphere.
Coming to the door, Char looked at the door of this famous wise man's residence in Yanjing, the door was black, wrapped in a layer of black iron, dotted with several rows of rivets, other than that, there was no luxury, but it was unexpectedly neat and clean, as if there was no trace of dust.
Char dismounted, and was about to go up and knock on the door, when the door was pushed open halfway, and a young attendant in sackcloth walked out, stood at the door, and knocked Char with indifferent eyes.
Char opened the door and was about to report to himself: "I am" The young squire had already spoken, and said lightly: "Come in, come with me, don't move around, don't talk nonsense." ” After saying that, he didn't pay attention to Char at all, turned around and entered the door.
Char glared, a little angry in his heart, strode up with anger, and walked to the door, the attendant was already standing in the door, turned his head to look at him, saw the dirt on Char's boots, frowned, and pointed to the ground next to him, where there was a soft cushion: "Clean the boots, the master likes to be clean." ” Char endured his anger and stood on the mat and rubbed his boots, the attendant seemed to be slightly satisfied, did not speak, turned around and walked inside, Char snorted and strode to follow.
The courtyard inside is very large, but it seems very quiet, there are no tall trees planted in the huge yard, only some potted flowers and trees are placed in the corner, it looks empty, but the ground is indeed clean, not only dust, not even a single deciduous petal.
The waiter led Char through a small door on the side of the courtyard, and inside was a garden, in that garden, a circle of circular flower beds, flowers were blooming, and the types of those flowers were naturally not something that Char, a turtle, could understand, but he was surprised in his heart, where did so many blooming flowers come from in this winter when everything was withering There is a bluestone path paved in the flower garden, walk along the road, the fragrance of flowers on both sides is overflowing, so that the turtle can't help but feel relaxed, the innermost part of the yard is a small lake dug out by a person, the lake is only one hundred and ten steps wide, the water is rippling, faintly you can see that there are some fish swimming in it, occasionally there are fish gently jumping out of the water, but revealing a strange red fish tail.
Char naturally doesn't know how to appreciate these things, seeing these fish, but he can't help but think: this thing, I don't know what the smell of roasting and eating is The courtyards and buildings are full of peaceful and clean smell, and occasionally I will see one or two young and handsome male and female attendants, some holding water bottles, and some wiping the walls with silk scarves, but Char walked by, these people seemed to be unaware, and they would never distinguish even a wisp of eyes to take a look, the buildings here are not high, and everywhere they pass, they are all square and tidy houses, When I reached the very end, I saw a round two-story building in front of me, which covered a very large area, and the walls were covered with green vines, but the yard was clean, and only one corner left a straight tree, which was full of a faint yellow weeping branch, and from a distance, it looked like a huge yellow umbrella.
The waiter who led the way stopped, looked at the bottom of the round two-story building, where there was a small door, and did not speak: "Wait a minute. ” A moment later, a few linen waiters walked up, each holding a silver round basin with a snow-white silk scarf on it, Char was stunned for a moment, then read the waiter's eyes, walked up and scrubbed his hands with the water in the basin, and wiped his face.
After wiping it clean, the waiter below came up with a basin and Char didn't talk nonsense, and continued to wash his face.
Until he washed it three times, and watched the fourth waiter come up with a basin, Char stopped drying, pointed to his face and said, "Do you have ash on my face, even if Lao Tzu has poop on his face, wash it clean."
The attendant didn't speak, but picked up the silk scarf, and quickly scrubbed the soft armor on Char's body, and after a while, the soft armor was polished, and even the boots were wiped again, and someone came up with a soft brush, and after brushing every subtle part of the armor, Char looked like a whole person.
"Let's go inside."
The waiter said coldly: "Don't walk around, and don't touch things." ” Fucking Char scolded in his heart, walked into the small door with his head held high, and after entering, looking at the room inside, the turtle was stunned From the outside, I thought this small building was a two-story building, but when I walked in, I knew that I was wrong.
There is only one floor here, but the ceiling is surprisingly high, a full height of seven or eight meters, the roof of the round arch shape is a layer of concave and convex reliefs, with various patterns on it, like floating clouds, which are dotted with more than ten strange gems, exuding a faint light, and the ground under your feet is smooth as a mirror-like silver-white marble, without a trace of flaw, Char will clearly see the strange ripples on the stone surface as if the water surface appeared every time Char stepped on it In his mind, Char suddenly heard Dora's voice.
"This is a magic array, such a luxurious family, and actually set up a permanent surname of lighting magic here" Although Char is a turtle, but because of a knowledgeable Dora by his side, these words have made great progress, he knows that the magic array is an extremely rare thing, and to make a magic array with a permanent surname, not only the various expensive magic crystals and jade required to set up the magic array are almost sky-high, but the source of magic power to drive the magic array is also extremely rare, requiring a large number of magic crystals and some advanced magic lines Even if he is a middle-level magician, I definitely can't afford the cost of a permanent surname magic array And here, a permanent surname magic array is actually used, just for lighting What surprised Char even more was that there were no luxurious furnishings in this huge house, and all he could see were books The circle seems to be surrounded by bookshelves, row by row, layer by layer, these bookshelves are five or six meters high, arranged along the circular walls, spread out layer by layer, each bookshelf is filled with all kinds of books, and there is a staircase with pulleys at the bottom next to it.
At a cursory glance, there are only tens of thousands of books in such a room Even Dora seemed a little surprised and let out a sigh.
Char stood in the middle of the room, waited for a while, but there was no figure, he was a little impatient, and coughed heavily: "Is there anyone, I'm Char, I'm here, who wants to see me" He shouted three times in a row, but there was no response.
It seems that he is the only one in this huge study.
Char turned around, walked a few steps around, and turned around the bookshelf for a while, the vast sea of books made the turtle feel a little awe-inspiring Although he didn't read much, but for the owner here, the mysterious Cavishil already had a little respect for him No matter what, if that Cavishil had really read so many books, then his knowledge must be very powerful.
Each of the bookshelves was very clean, there was not a trace of dust on the shelves and books, and it was clear that someone had cleaned them well.
Char walked around the house several times, but no one came out to see him, and the turtle finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply walked to the middle and sat on the ground.
Anyway, they're all here, just wait for Lao Tzu But after waiting for about a meal, there was still no one to take care of the turtle, and the turtle turned over and jumped, and was about to shout loudly, when suddenly his heart moved, and a strange and subtle vigilance emerged from his heart This feeling is as if he used to hunt in the mountains and forests, and was spied on by wild beasts Char was immediately clever and searched around for a while, but found nothing.
It's just that the feeling of being spied on is getting stronger and stronger Faintly, he seemed to be able to catch a ray of gaze coming from some unknown place, looking at himself carefully, and what made Char even more sensitive was that he seemed to be able to feel a strange spiritual fluctuation sweeping back and forth on his body The turtle's spiritual power is already quite good, especially after learning one or two simple dragon spells with Dora, he has initially mastered the most basic mental power touching skills, and he is much more sensitive to other people's prying eyes, at this moment he was uneasy, and immediately scattered his spiritual power to search around, but he was not a magician after all, and his spiritual power was still weaker, and he was unaware.
"Hey, I know you're watching me come out, aren't you going to see me, Lao Tzu is here, why don't you show up, are you playing me?"
As Char finished shouting these words, the feeling of being snooped on suddenly disappeared, as if the person who was secretly snooping had withdrawn his eyes and left.
And Char waited impatiently, and finally couldn't help but stop, he looked at a bookshelf next to him, and wanted to pick up a book casually, just when his hand was stretched out, he suddenly heard a voice from the direction of the door.
"Don't touch it."

A crisp and delicate voice came.
Char turned her head to look, but she didn't know when a young girl had already walked into the room.
This girl is wearing a white robe, long brown hair, a plain face, a few shallow freckles on her cheeks, and she looks just the same age as Char, but that face is full of plainness Char is a little unhappy, why are the people here so lifeless "Please don't touch anything here."
The freckled girl walked in, holding a wooden box in her hand, came to Char, and frowned, "You will leave fingerprints on the book, it will be troublesome to erase it like that." ” "Fingerprint trouble" Char looked at his hands and said honestly, his hands are extremely clean at the moment, the turtle has lived for eighteen years, but I am afraid that his hands at this moment are the cleanest in his eighteen years.
"Yes, many of these books are precious ancient books, and some are missing important documents.
It's already very fragile, and it may be damaged if you touch it. ” The girl handed the wooden box in her hand to Char: "Take it." ” "Uh" Char took it with both hands, and the wooden box was heavy: "What something?"
"The teacher asked me to give it to you.
Well, my teacher is Master Cavihill.
The girl said lightly, "For me" The turtle touched her nose, grabbed the wooden box casually with one hand, and weighed it gently, it seemed to be heavy, and she didn't know what it contained with Char's strength, she felt a little heavy, but you can imagine how heavy the contents of this box are.
"I don't know, what the teacher doesn't say, no one asks."
The girl glanced at Char coldly: "The teacher said you can go." ” Char finally got angry.
A feeling of being tricked welled up in his heart.
"What's the joke about leaving, didn't Cavihill say he wanted to see me, now I'm coming to the door, but he said a word to let me go, and I'm playing tricks" The turtle was very unhappy, if it wasn't for a girl standing in front of him, he would have swung his fist and hit it.
A trace of anger immediately flashed in the girl's eyes, and she said coldly: "Please think of your words, I don't know who you are, but please pay attention, when mentioning the teacher's name, please call me an adult" Char: "" The turtle stared at the girl blankly, and then he said impatiently: "I don't talk nonsense with you, didn't he say that he wanted to see me, who called me to come, and told me to leave, what do you mean?"
The girl shook her head, and she pointed in the direction of the door: "The teacher did say that he wanted to see you, and he had already seen you just now." ” "I've seen it," Char was at a loss.
"Yes, the teacher wanted to see you, but he didn't say let you see him."
The girl's words finally made Char understand.
When he saw me, he didn't say let me see him It means that I will come over and let him look at me in secret Char instinctively wanted to get angry, but finally remembered what Ruhl said about the horror of Kavehill, and he held back his anger for a moment.
He walked to the door angrily, ignoring the girl.
When he walked out of the door, he saw the young attendant who had led him in the courtyard outside the door, standing there: "Please come with me." ” Char didn't say a word, and followed this guy out the same way with a straight face.
The turtle is very hot, and he is very hot In that huge study, in a quiet secret room upstairs, Cavihill stood at the window.
It is a strange window, which looks like a windowsill from the room, and outside, is a round, translucent cyan marble wall.
Dressed in plain robes, his hand lightly pressed on the windowsill, looking out, Char was striding towards the far side of the courtyard in anger.
Cavihill seemed to laugh.
"Is this the kid, hmph, this is the heir you chose, my old friend, you really gave me a problem."
Char walked out of Cavishir's house, turned over and got on his horse after coming to the door, shouted, galloped out of the long street, turned the corner, and ran head-on to Ruel and the others, Ruhl was nervous, seeing Char come out: "What about Cavishir looking for you?"
"Bah, how do you know what that bastard is crazy about" Char jumped off the horse, cursed, and spat at the mouth fiercely.
The fat man was shocked, and hurriedly went up to cover the mouth of the turtle, and looked left and right: "Shut up, are you crazy, he is also a person you can insult casually in Yanjing, even those guys who hate him to the bone, they don't dare to slander him casually behind his back, you little miscellaneous fish-like little character, you dare to say this, and when it reaches his ears, you will die."
"I" Although Char is a turtle, he also has a brain after all, and he endured it before he suppressed the fire and said: "Okay, let me tell you, I didn't see him at all."
Lao Tzu was taken in, and he stood in a study for a while, and then he was sent out, and the guy said that he wanted to see me, but he didn't say that I should see him.
So" The fat man was stunned, but then smiled: "Sure enough, this approach is quite in line with Cavishir's usual style."
He's always going to do weird things, well, you don't have to be angry, at least, it's okay to get on without any trouble. ” Char snorted twice, suddenly remembered the wooden box, opened it and looked at it, but was immediately stunned "It's, it's something" Inside the box was a mold made of soft iron, and in the mold, inlaid with a gray stone, this stone had a strange shape, like a broken gear, full of irregular edges and corners, and after looking at it carefully, the size was about the size of two eggs, Char took it out and held it in his hand, and immediately felt the heavy weight.
The weight of this thing was obviously completely asymmetrical to its size and volume, it looked dull, it looked like no, it didn't look like, it was just a rotten stone, just ordinary stone wasn't that heavy.
Char weighed it in his hand a few times, and suddenly his heart moved This thing seems to be very similar to the texture of the pendant on his chest, and after looking at it repeatedly for a while, his heart moved again, and this volume and irregular shape outline are faintly familiar The turtle thought in his heart a few times, and suddenly remembered something, he took a breath, put down the curiosity in his heart, put the stone away, and looked at Ruhl: "Let's go, let's find a place to live first."
Although Ruhl was also curious in his heart, he was more jealous of Kavihir, and he didn't dare to ask any questions, so he immediately turned over and retracted his curious eyes: "I have arranged a place for you to live, just near the south of the city, I have a house there, I will lend it to you first."
It's not a big place, but it's enough to settle you.
You stay first, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to take you to the military headquarters to report, remember to dress up neatly, tomorrow His Majesty may send someone to take you into the palace for an audience. ” Seeing Char get on the horse with a nonchalant face, the group walked a few steps, Ruhl hesitated, but finally spoke.
"That kid, there's one more thing that might be a little troublesome, I'll tell you first, you're ready in your heart" "What trouble is trouble" The fat man scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "The matter of you injuring Hastings has spread in Yanjing."
I don't know who walked out of your information, your appearance, military rank, and other various information, you also know, that person is afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong."
Char's eyes widened.
"I mean, you hurt Hasting, and you made you famous, and now I'm afraid you're just a target in the hearts of many.
Many martial arts masters in Yanjing are a little unfair to you, a new guy, although you injured Hasting, but in the eyes of others, I'm afraid that you are just a guy who has gone through shit luck.
In Yanjingli, the competition is about to start recently, and many martial artists from all over the country have gathered here, and many of them are ambitious, and they are paying attention, looking for an opportunity to challenge you, once they can defeat you, then wouldn't it be a good opportunity to raise their own value and become famous?"
Char was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Then come if you are afraid of anything, Lao Tzu will fight one when you see one, and fight one pair when you see one."
The fat man sighed: "In the end, I am young, I don't know that people's hearts are sinister, if it is a challenge above board, forget it."

But there are always people with bad intentions in people's hearts, but they are not afraid of any blatant challenges, only afraid of poisoning and framing, and conspiracy."
As he spoke, the fat man looked at Char sympathetically: "Boy, you ask for more blessings."
Char was stunned, but he was still not afraid in his heart, and smiled proudly: "Ha Laiyin, Lao Tzu is not afraid" Ruhl shook his head, "I warned you, be careful yourself." ” The fat man is indeed righteous enough, and the place he lent to Char is very good, although the south of the city is a civilian area, but Char lives in a small courtyard with a large area, and there is a horse shed behind the yard, and the kitchen and bedroom are all available, and they are clean.
After Char had settled down, he asked Soyt to prepare dinner, and he was about to lie down on the bed for a while, when he saw Dotara running in with a nervous face.
"Master, no, there are a lot of people on the street outside the door, all of them are wearing armor and holding weapons, and they all seem to be a little unkind."
"Hmm," Char froze.
At this moment, the door of the courtyard was kicked open, and a loud shout came from outside the courtyard.
"Does the guy who beat Hastings live here, come out and I'm going to challenge you" To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
