In the garden, four mercenaries lay in pools of blood, one of them charred black, and the other three were all fatally slashed, and the injuries alone showed who had died at their hands. The space mage was lying on the ground, his nose was clear and his face was swollen, his chest was slightly heaving, he should still be alive, maybe Uther planned to take this space mage for his own use, or maybe it was just for information, it was hard to say.

"Carl is dead?" Fence asked.

Liang Lidong replied: "Dead, there are no bones." ”

Fence La was a little gloomy, she was very puzzled and said: "Although Carl is very cold, but when I was a child when I encountered a magic problem that I couldn't understand, I would ask him, from him I got a lot of magical theory knowledge, it stands to reason that he has a good relationship with our Longman family, why did he betray us and betray Hollevin!" ”

Liang Lidong shook his head: "He didn't betray Hollevin, he just betrayed the friendship of your Longman family." I don't know what kind of person Enleko is who has a grudge against you, but I believe that he is at least a Horlevinite, and your struggle is at most an internal struggle among the Holevin nobility, and has not yet risen to the point of betraying the country. ”

Fencera became more and more puzzled: "Then why did he betray the friendship of our Longman family?" ”

"Because he doesn't see any hope in the Longman family." Liang Lidong said lightly.

"Just because I'm a woman?" Fencera glanced at Kyle and said, "My future husband will definitely be in charge of Winterwind City, and I personally can not manage the affairs of Winterwind City." If he is dissatisfied with me, he can say it, and we can slowly discuss why he should throw himself into our family's enemies if he revitalizes Winterwind City. ”

"Actually, it's just an excuse." Liang Lidong glanced at Uther, who was silent next to him: "The real reason is that your Longman family can't support two magicians at the same time. You are very talented, and if you want to become a qualified magician, you have to spend a lot of gold, it costs money to learn magic, and it costs money to improve magic, and it is a lot of money. My personal estimate is that 3,000 gold coins is just the beginning, and more than 6,000 is the normal budget. Although your Longman family has been running Winter Wind City for hundreds of years, and you have accumulated a lot of gold coins, you are a military family, even if you accumulate more gold coins, it will not exceed 10,000! Although Carl has the problem of mental instability, his qualifications are actually above you, and to cultivate him, you need more gold coins, it's not that I think you are inferior to the Longman family, it's that you really can't support two magicians at the same time! It is impossible for your father to give up his daughter and raise an outsider instead. Carl saw this before leaving. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, your enemy Enleko should be rich, or the family behind him is rich. So he could afford to hire a mage as an assassin and convince Karl to serve them. In this world, a large amount of gold coins, at some point, can also be converted into personal strength! ”

Surprised, she asked, "Father, is that so?" How much gold have I spent studying magic over the years? ”

Uther smiled bitterly and did not speak, which was considered a acquiescence. Shocked, she muttered, "It turns out that Carl's departure is actually related to me, if only I didn't have a talent for magic." ”

"Well, it's over, it's useless to regret it." Uther comforted: "You are my daughter, if I don't help you, can I help outsiders?" It's good to learn magic, and our family finally has a spellcaster, even if I sell the castle, I'm going to train you to be a first-class magician, so don't worry about money. ”

Fencera nodded, but didn't look too happy. Kyle was on the sidelines, thoughtful.

Liang Lidong's words were not only addressed to Fence La, but also to Kyle. The bitterness of the magician, Liang Lidong knows very well, in fact, money is only a small problem, and the most troublesome thing is to analyze magic. Because of the systematic education, most of the player magicians are highly educated talents, they are very proficient in 'research', and they also know how to learn new knowledge, not to mention that because of the existence of the 'Internet', player magicians can communicate with each other and gather in the chat room to discuss collectively.

But NPC magicians are different, they do have received a certain amount of education, but they are not systematic, and they often cherish themselves, and they hold on to a little bit of research and refuse to share it. Liang Lidong has seen too many NPC magicians who are stumped by the magic modeling structure diagram that they finally obtained, and they can't learn that magic after analyzing it for several years.

On average, player mages learn new magic much faster than NPC mages, but even so, player mages feel like their youth is wasted on parsing magic, let alone NPC mages.

Liang Lidong flicked his fingers and canceled the fog magic, the white fog in the castle gradually disappeared, and the nobles who couldn't see the road cheered at this time, they looked around for their relatives and friends, and there was a lot of trouble in the garden for a while.

"Let's go back first." Liang Lidong pointed to the second floor that was still burning: "I know you have a lot of things to deal with in a while, so I won't bother." Help you deal with the remuneration of Carl and the others, and send someone to Reed Village when you have time. ”

Uther was surprised: "Aren't we comrades-in-arms?" It's too hurtful to talk about money. ”

"Heh, who is your comrade-in-arms." Liang Lidong sighed: "If my share of remuneration is gone, I don't mind becoming the second Carl." ”

"I've never seen such a money-hungry ascetic!" Uther muttered.

Liang Lidong laughed: "I am a believer in the goddess of Wolkin, and it is a matter of course to love money." ”

Uther was stunned for a moment, he had not heard of the name 'Goddess Waukin', but from the other party's words, he could guess that the priesthood of this god mansion was mostly related to money, he answered twice, and led the topic elsewhere, while Fence went to the underground of the castle and canceled the closed magic enchantment.

As soon as the barrier was lifted, a large group of cavalry rushed into the garden from the drawbridge, led by a woman who looked a little similar to Fence, her chain mail was stained with blood, and her expression was quite anxious. Her eyes searched the garden, and when she saw Uther, she immediately dismounted and galloped over, and threw herself into the man's arms: "I was scared to death outside just now, you are all right, what about Fence La......"

"Let's go!"

Taking advantage of the gap between Uther and his wife, Liang Lidong pulled Kyle away.

Crossing the suspension bridge with a group of panicked nobles, the two soon found the old village chief who was anxiously waiting, and he was relieved to see his grandson come out with no blood on his body.

The three of them got into a carriage on the side of a remote road, and the driver was still Kyle, who was sullen and silent all the way. When he was about to return to the village, he finally spoke: "Teacher, you said that as long as I can stand in front of the fence, you will teach me to learn combat skills, have I passed the test?" ”

"Of course."

Liang Lidong originally planned to teach Kyle to be a professional and let him dance with Fence La, just to promote good things for boys and girls. Moreover, in the battle just now, although Kyle did not contribute, his composure was extraordinary. It can be seen that in terms of willpower, he is far beyond ordinary people, and such a person is very suitable to become a professional.

"Are you going to focus on magic, or are you going to continue learning swordsmanship?"

"Swordsmanship!" Kyle said without hesitation.

"Why don't you learn magic?" Liang Lidong asked with a smile.

Kyle replied, "It takes too much gold to learn magic, and even the city lord's family can barely afford a magician, our family ......"

The old village chief's face darkened when he listened, although he didn't approve of his grandson becoming a mercenary, but if it was to become a magician, he wouldn't object too much, after all, the status of a magician is very high. But now his grandson has given up becoming a magician because of his family background, and in the eyes of the old man, this is his responsibility, he has no ability, and he can't even earn money to learn magic for his grandson.

"Now that you've decided, you're going to come to me tomorrow afternoon...... Well, by the way, call Belin. ”

The carriage returned to the entrance of the village, Liang Lidong went back to his small grass house first, he lay on the bed, stretched comfortably, tired today, and now he can finally sleep well.

Joan of Arc jumped off his shoulder and asked, "You're going to teach Kyle to be a professional, and I can see that he's a good seedling." But why did you want him to call Belin along? Belin is not a good fit to be a melee professional. ”

"But she's fit to be a pastor! To become a priest does not require physical fitness, only normal intelligence and a sufficiently pious attitude are sufficient. Liang Lidong said: "After observing in the past few days, I found that her attention is very concentrated, even better than Kyle. After the establishment of the Temple of Wogin, there must be someone besides me to handle the daily affairs, and if Belin can become a believer, it will be of great help. Moreover, she became a believer, which was only good for her, and there was no harm to her. ”

"Then why are you helping them for free." Joan of Arc asked, "According to the knowledge I have received from you, master, that it is generally necessary to charge a large sum of gold to teach others to become professionals, and I do not believe that the two of them can take it." ”

Liang Lidong smiled and did not speak. In the eyes of the player, the most important thing is the character experience, and money can only come second. Teaching Kyle and Belin can get some extra experience, why not, money, if he wants, it's not too difficult, it's just a bit of work.

But Joan of Arc misunderstood: "You are too kind, forget it, you are the master, I can't control it." ”

It shook its head and walked to the corner of the bed, rolled up the blanket and fell asleep.

The next day, Liang Lidong got up, opened the character system, and found that he had 23 points of experience at midnight last year.

"Skipping the level to kill monsters is really experienced!"

Liang Lidong sighed, and then went to the river to teach the group of little ones to read and write, and told them some principles of life.

Soon in the afternoon, Kyle dragged Belin to the grove in the back mountain, because he wanted to teach swordsmanship, Liang Lidong asked him to make a few wooden swords. Kyle looked excited, and Belin looked inexplicable, wondering why she had been called to this place by Beta.

"Belin, do you want to be a priest?" Liang Lidong asked.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and her face brightened: "Beta-sama, can I become a priest?" ”

"I can't guarantee it, but you have the potential." Liang Lidong patted the top of the girl's head and said, "It depends on whether you are serious enough and diligent enough!" ”

"I'm willing, please ask the teacher to teach me." Belin was so clever that she immediately changed her name to 'Teacher'.

Liang Lidong used a wooden sword to draw a mark on the small tree next to him, and then said: "You sit on the grass, and you stare at this trace for a while, you are not allowed to blink, you can't move, even if there are insects biting you, you can't move, understand?" If you understand, start right away until I shout stop. ”

Belin nodded, and immediately ran to the little tree and sat down, staring at the fresh scratch.

"Then it's your turn." Liang Lidong looked at Kyle, who was excited: "I heard you say that you learned a set of swordsmanship from mercenaries in the city, show me." ”

Kyle took two steps back, picked up his wooden sword, and danced with gusto. The wooden sword sliced through the air, whining, and looked quite powerful, and after about six minutes, Kyle made a sword retraction and asked profusely, "Teacher, how's it going!" ”

"Bullshit!" Liang Lidong sneered mercilessly: "You also call it swordsmanship? The mercenary who taught you swordsmanship is teasing you! ”
