Bang, bang, bang, there was a loud knock on the heavy door.In the thatched hut, Green, who was sleeping peacefully in the shabby quilt, was awakened in an instant, and the cold numbness under his feet made him gasp, but Green did not dare to delay and shouted, "Here it is." ”Ignoring his unconscious feet, who were already freezing to the point of cold, Greenmari put on his shabby clothes, picked up the leather coat that had been placed on the shabby quilt as a second quilt, and opened the wooden door.As soon as the cold winter wind blew, mixed with ice slag, Green's stimulated body shook.Outside the door, Old Ham huddled on the broken wooden carriage, whip in one hand and cigarette pouch in the other, leaving two car marks in the potholed snow."
Hurry up, the road is not easy today, and you will have to be trained if you are late."
Old Ham slammed his pouch and muttered at Green."
Oh, got it."
Green closed the wooden door and got into the carriage with his hands and feet, as he was accustomed to, and had heard him muttering every day since he had followed Uncle Ham on this steady errand.Ham didn't have much to say, and after smashing his cigarette pouch at the end, he swung his whip hard, and the old horse snorted, pulling the wagon and continuing through the potholed snow.And Green leaned on the guardrail of the broken carriage, looked at the dark sky, and continued to close his eyes and take a nap, according to past experience, this kind of snowy day, the old carriage will take at least half an hourglass time to reach the Viscount's Mansion in the city, and it will be almost dawn at that time.Leaning back in the carriage, Green smelled the familiar smell of dry smoke, and was very grateful to Old Ham from the bottom of his heart.Green's original most primitive memory was a snowy winter with goose feathers, and the previous memories were pitch black, and no one had ever seen Grimm, as if he had jumped out of thin air in this world.From then on, Green often followed a group of orphans around the city of Bissel, living a life of begging without food, until one day Ham, who was old and childless, saw that Green was quite excited, and the thought of having no children under his knees brought him back.Old Ham laughed and said, "I'm dead, these two huts and the old horse are yours." ”To be honest, these two cottages and old carriages in the country were not worth much, but they made Green full of gratitude to Old Ham as a reborn parent.As for the work that Old Ham and Green were able to make a living, it was to rush to the Viscount's Mansion in Bissel City before dawn every morning, clean up the large pieces of garbage left after the high-ranking nobles and lords had dispersed after the night of revelry, send them outside the city to clean up, and then go to the Viscountdom to purchase all the materials for the next night's party.This time and forth, almost half of the day has passed.Half an hourglass time later, the road surface began to slip and the ground was paved with stones.Green, who was napping in the carriage, didn't need Old Ham's advice, so he naturally came to his senses, knowing that he had arrived in Bissel City and was about to arrive at the Viscount's Palace, so he quickly swept a handful of snow on his body, which was regarded as tidying up his appearance.Although it is said that when Green and Old Ham arrive at the Viscount's Mansion every day, most of the nobles in the city who have been partying in the Viscount's Mansion for a night have long since dispersed, even if they do not leave occasionally, the high-ranking nobleman will not give these two lowly servants a second glance, and the appearance is useless at all.But the old butler of the Viscount's Mansion was a difficult character, always embarrassed by Green's miscellaneous servants, waiting for some benefits, and had more than once extorted Old Ham's silver coins under the inferior excuse of poor appearance.The two tall horses and great knight guards at the gate of the Viscount's Mansion were already exhausted after a night of guarding, and glanced at Old Ham and Green, who had been too familiar with each other for a few years to be familiar with, and ignored them.Old Ham laughed a little, and Green jumped out of the carriage, bowed his head and entered the Viscount's Palace, not daring to look more, and went straight to the luxurious hall that had to be carefully cleaned every day.Green and Old Ham, who were originally listless, suddenly felt that today's atmosphere seemed to be different, only to see the old butler at the door of the hall with a gloomy face, a pair of fierce triangular eyes glaring at Green and Old Ham, and came to the two of them after a trot.The old butler whispered, "Wait here, plug your ears, and close your eyes." ”"Yes, yes."
Green and Old Ham hurriedly responded.There was a faint noise in the hall, and although I couldn't hear it clearly, I could vaguely tell that it was a girl making a big noise.Instinctively, Green and Old Ham knew, it was supposed to be a big deal.After waiting for nearly an hourglass, it was already full light, and Green and Old Ham were so cold in the snow that they stamped their feet and shivered.The old butler, who was waiting at the door of the hall, came over with a gloomy face and shouted, "If you can't stand the cold, you won't be used tomorrow." ”Green and Old Ham changed their faces, and after struggling a few times, Old Ham took out a silver coin from his ragged linen shirt, stuffed it into the old butler's hand, and laughed again and again: "I can stand it, I can stand it." ”"Hmph."
The old butler skillfully stuffed the silver coins into his pocket, ignored the two of them, and waited anxiously at the door of the hall, looking inside from time to time.Green couldn't help but whisper: "Damn, I just took a benefit from us a few days ago, and now I want to be" "Hey, forget it, bear with me, there are a lot of people who want to do our errand, and the old butler can't wait for us to go." ”Old Ham sighed.When people are old and about to enter the earth, they will see it openly, and they will no longer have the same hot temper as young people.At this moment, a girl rushed out of the hall, dressed in the luxurious aristocratic clothes, but her delicate face was covered with tears, and she stopped and shouted into the hall."
I won't go to the Lilith Cottage Wizard Academy, let alone become a wizard," after saying that, the girl seemed to be still angry, took out a book and threw it out, and strode out of the Viscount's Mansion."
On the contrary, you two are still stunned, don't give me anything to chase after me," a big-bellied aristocratic lord blushed with anger and roared at the two knights in armor beside him.However, what made Green unbelievable was that the Viscount Lord, who was usually high-minded, was helpless at this time, standing beside the big-bellied nobleman with a smile, and whispering to persuade something."
Hmph, she knows what great wizards are the masters of this world, do you know what price I spent for the test in half a year" In a hurry, Lord Viscount followed the big-bellied nobleman out of the Viscount's Mansion without looking at Green and Old Ham.As for the old butler, he also followed out in a hurry, and before leaving, he took the two doormen with him and disappeared into the snow.In the blink of an eye, the courtyard became empty and silent.Seeing that there was no one around, Green instinctively wanted to pick up the book on the ground in front of him, but Old Ham stepped up, knocked on Green's hand with a cigarette pouch, and shouted: "Don't die" Green grinned in pain and said in a low voice: "It should be okay, if someone asks at that time, we will say that we cleaned up the garbage and threw it away, anyway, the noble lady just threw it on the ground." ”Old Ham thought about it, looked up again and saw that there was indeed no one around, and nodded, which was regarded as acquiescing to Green.Green put the books in his clothes, and then casually followed Old Ham to clean up the hall, and the huge amount of garbage left behind by the noble lord after a night of partying in the hall was all swept into the carriage.Until he left, no one asked about the whereabouts of the book, and Green didn't care.After all, in the past, there were often some treasures mixed in the garbage that the nobles did not look down on, but the servants were very happy.The creaking wagon, loaded with a loadload of garbage, slowly left the city of Bissel.Sitting in a wagon loaded with garbage, Green also did not feel sleepy, and suddenly thought of something, and took out the book he had picked up from his arms.Frowning, a servant like Green who worked hard for the noble lord generally did not know how to read, but it was because Old Ham had worked as an accounting apprentice for a shop when he was young, and although the shop was closed later, he also learned to read and write, and taught Green in the past few years.However, the reason why Green frowned was because the handwriting on the cover of this book was really not commonly used in daily life, and it was some unfamiliar words.It took a long time for Green to make out the words."
Nose Hunting and Smell Atlas What is this" Green glared, thinking that it was a biographical novel of a bard, which was also the favorite book of those noble ladies and sons, but he didn't expect that the noble lady had just thrown a book with such a strange name.Wait for Green to suddenly think of something, his eyes widened, full of incredulity, could this be a book for wizards to record mysterious magic and witchcraft, wizards have always been a topic that only nobles are qualified to talk about, and ordinary people will never even see a wizard with mysterious whereabouts once in their lives.In the eyes of ordinary people, wizards have mysterious witchcraft, full of evil and mystery, and there are often rumors that wizards will do some large-scale slaughter of civilians, eat children's eyes, and carry out evil witchcraft experiments with ordinary people.But these wizards are awe-inspiring because they can easily kill civilians and even knights, and they have extraordinary powers.Even Green has fantasized more than once, what do those mysterious and great wizards rely on to master those mysterious and great powers, why can't ordinary people master them, if they become wizards and master those mysterious and great powers, they don't need to look at the faces of those noble lords anymore With an incredible look, Green quickly flipped through the nose hunting transformation and smell atlas book he had just gotten, and began to read word by word, sometimes when he encountered unfamiliar words, he had to think about it carefully or even skip it temporarily.Slowly, a shock began to appear on Green's face, as if opening the door to a whole new world, the so-called smell is the volatile molecules of different substances in the air through the biological olfactory system, and the most irritating odor occupies half of the sense of smell that living beings can distinguish.According to the smell atlas, normal humans can distinguish about 300 to 400 kinds of odors, and occasionally some people with special functions can distinguish about 600 kinds of odors.However, compared to some other creatures, this smell discrimination is simply pitiful, such as the baby chicken, a creature capable of making a cry like a human baby, and according to experiments, this creature can distinguish at least 6,500 odors.Another example is the butterfly, a magical creature that can only survive by collecting odors, and can distinguish more than 8,200 kinds of smellsThe creature mentioned in the book, known to be able to capture the most odors in the air, is called the three-headed dog, which is a kind of creature that many wizards dare not provoke, and it is enough to distinguish any known smell that wizards can separate, a total of 17,852 species.The three-headed dog's sense of smell has reached an incredible degree of nose hunting, which tells the story of wizards according to their own physical conditions, like some creatures to transform themselves sensitively to smell, to achieve the perfect evolution of the sense of smell.Among them, the magic and witchcraft experiments involved a lot of strange materials, and so far Green has not figured out the most common word in the books, the cell "Green, Green" After Old Ham shouted twice, Green came back to his senses from the wonder of magic books, hurriedly put away the magic books, and helped Old Ham start to dump the garbage on the carriage.After dumping all the garbage on the wagon, Green followed Old Ham and began to buy the goods from the viscount's land as was customary, for the consumption of those noble lords tonight.It was not until the evening that Old Ham and Green carried all the goods to the Viscount's Mansion in the city, and then rushed back to the countryside with a dozen copper plates.Old Ham glanced back at Green and sighed: "You kid, I'm really enchanted today, is this book so good" Green smiled, didn't say anything, but his heart was full of yearning and shock for this mysterious wizarding world.There really are moving mountains in the world, rivers of life flowing from the sky, and what is going on in those so-called exotic worlds, what is the principle of wizards mastering powerful magic and sorcery, a series of questions came to Green's mind, but no one could answer."
Hey, I'm seventeen years old in a blink of an eye, well, I'll renovate the house next year, and see if I can find a suitable girl from the neighborhood to be your mother-in-law, I hope I can take a look at my grandson before burying my old bones."
Old Ham muttered.Green didn't raise his head and muttered casually: "What nonsense, your old man's life is 100 years old." ”"Hehe," Old Ham laughed, and continued to drive the carriage back to the familiar road.t1706231537:
