Chapter 199: Return to Pumpkin Town
Lana looks out through the crack in the window of the pig cart and is unexpectedly startled by the streetscape of Pumpkin Town.
I saw this woman, who seemed to be not afraid of heaven and earth, grinned into the carriage and asked, "My lord, what is going on in this town?" Why does it look so weird? ”
Klose spread his hands: "I don't know, they didn't have this custom before I left." Of course, the legend of the pumpkin ghost has always existed, and I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is indeed very weird. ”
"What? And pumpkin ghosts?? ”
Lana tightened her collar as if the ghost was sitting next to her.
Klose smiled evilly, suddenly! His smile froze on his face, and he stretched out his hand to point to a direction in the carriage, and stammered, "You... Behind you! ”
Lana was so frightened that her hair stood on end! She jerked around to look behind her, only to see nothing but the wooden siding of the carriage and a cloud of air.
Immediately after her, in a burst of "hahaha" laughter, she realized that she had been tricked...
"Ouch~~~ I can actually deceive my genius minister? Hahahaha~~~ I didn't expect you to have something to be afraid of~~ Look at your expression just now~~ How about it? Did the pants get wet? ”
Lana blushed, gritted her teeth and frowned, "You're a nobleman!" Pay attention to the scale of your jokes! How can you discuss in front of a lady whether her pants are wet or not? What a faux pas! ”
Who knew that after she finished speaking, Klose still laughed: "Hahaha~~ Just say when it's wet~~ I have adult diapers here that can be provided to you!" It's the kind of diaper pants, how about it? Interested in trying it? Don't behave more than you are now after the appearance of the real pumpkin ghost~! ”
"You! You... You bully! ”
Lana pursed her mouth, and something seemed to flash out of the corner of her eye. She buried her head in her knees and covered her head with a blanket spread on the ground.
Klose laughed for a while, noticing that the other's body was shaking slightly.
"Wouldn't it? Is this crying? Just kidding~ Hey? Miss Lana? Belle? Chancellor of the Exchequer? Am I wrong? Don't cry. ”
Klose tried to touch the other party with his hand, but was dodged by the other party's body, and he suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks.
He now regrets why he made this joke to scare the other party, some people are really afraid of these ghosts, ghosts, or something.
Of course, he himself is not very afraid, after all, he has so much experience in watching horror movies before as a foundation, and the so-called ghosts in this world are not as terrible as he imagined, such as those skeleton soldiers in the Shield Fortress, they all look quite kind, all of them look silly, and there is no horror in them at all. But this pumpkin ghost is just a pumpkin head on a person, what's there to be afraid of?
He got closer, patted Lana on the back and whispered comfortingly, "Ouch~~ Okay, my Miss Lana, I was wrong!" How about I apologize to you? If you need any compensation, I can apologize with a small gift. ”
Suddenly, the blanket over Lana's head was lifted, and the latter stared at Klose with a pair of eyes, where was there half a tear on his face?
"That's what you said! My little lord! Say, "What gift will I be compensated for?" ”
Klose felt as if he had been fooled.... But he didn't care, and took out a sparkling rhinestone-encrusted hairpin from the supermarket.
"How about this? You women love this sparkling ornament, and I have quite a few on my hands to wear and see. ”
Klose didn't think much of it, he straightened Lana's long hair on his forehead and put the beautiful rhinestone-encrusted hairpin on the other's head.
This time Lana really blushed, but the other party's inadvertent action inadvertently teased her.
She withdrew her gaze and coughed twice in embarrassment: "Hmm... Well, I accept your apology, is there a mirror? ”
Klose took out a mirror and handed it to Lana, looking at himself in the mirror, his face flushed, and a beautiful hairpin that shimmered and reflected the colors of the seven colors stuck in his fiery hair.
Lana was overjoyed, apparently very fond of the rhinestone-encrusted hairpin.
"Hey~~ My lord, you say there are many more such things?"
"Well, yes, what's wrong?"
"I think I can make a lot of money by selling it to the circle of noblewomen in the major royal capitals!"
Klose didn't seem to care, and he replied casually: "Oh, well, I'll give you a list of the goods I still have here, and you're now my Chancellor of the Exchequer, so it's up to you to decide." ”
Lana stared at her employer, Klose, as if to see if the sixteen-year-old little lord was really a waste, or was he pretending to be a pig and a tiger?
Klose was stunned by her staring, and avoided his gaze and asked, "What are you doing?" Why are you looking at me like that? I'm really handsome, but you can't fight your lord's idea! Not to mention that I was still a child. ”
"Poof!"
Lana couldn't help but laugh.
"Kid? My adult, sixteen years old is already an adult! Many children of aristocratic families have their own children at your age, but you say that you are still a child? Don't laugh at me! ”
Klose rolled his eyes, he knew he was right. Isn't this just an old society that is all evil? It's only the age of junior high school, but there are already many people who like to be fathers! In the future, you must stipulate in the territory that at least before the age of eighteen, it is all within the scope of children! The kind that can celebrate Children's Day!
Yes, in his own territory in the future, he will also add these festivals. Like Children's Day, the children of the territory will definitely love this festival! There are also Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Duanyang Festival, Qingming Festival.....
He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, but he didn't want to think about it, can the people of this world understand the meaning of these festivals? It's basically a chicken and a duck.
The pig cart soon drove to the gate of the yard of Old Bill's house, and little Bill saw this special pig cart from a long distance and greeted it.
"Is it a Klosen? You're here! Come inside please! Big brother ~~~ Klosen is here! ”
As little Bill shouted, Ian's figure soon appeared at the door.
Klose jumped out of the pig cart and shook hands. But instead of letting go of his hand immediately, Klose pulled Ian in front of him and punched him with his fist. This action intrigued both Ian and Bill Jr.
Klose let go of him, only to find that Old Bill and the old lady of Bill's family also came out.
"Hurry up, benefactor, please! It's cold outside. ”
Old Bill and his wife warmly welcomed Klose and the others in.
There was a stove in the house, and a pot of boiling water squatted on the hot stove.
Little Bill poured hot water for Klose and the others, and hung up their coats, looking much more well-behaved.
Ian, on the other hand, sat on the floor beside Klose. The floor of Old Bill's house is now covered with a special straw mat, somewhat similar to the tatami that Klose had seen in his previous life.
Since Ian had converted his old room into a makeshift study room and study room, he and little Bill slept on such tatami mats.
"How? There were a lot of things going on in the academy, and I didn't have time to look for you. But I seem to see that you mix well in the class? ”
Ian scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Alas! The tutor asked me to be the class leader, in fact, I refused at first, I thought it would affect my study time on weekdays, but the tutor said that the class leader could follow the tutor into the laboratory, so I agreed. ”
"Oh?" Klose was curious: "So you're a scholar?" How many people are in your class? ”
"Seventy-five."
"Wow...," Klose said enviously, "it's a popular subject!" There are five people in our class plus me, and one of them is a senior sister. ”
The two of them drank hot water and talked about some interesting stories they encountered in the Floating City Magic Academy. It seems that Ian is really suitable for the profession of alchemist. In the short time he has been in the Floating City, he has grown from a junior alchemist to an intermediate alchemist.
Of course, that has a lot to do with his many years of practical experience. It's just that it's out of the privileged environment of the academy, and it's somewhat inconvenient to conduct experiments at home. And all kinds of raw materials are also very rare.
Hearing this, Klose's mind suddenly turned.
"Ian, why don't you come with me to my territory! I've got all the weird materials there, so you've never seen any of them! You can study alchemy in my lab. I think you should also know that without the support of a lot of money, it is difficult to make an inch of progress in alchemy. And with me, you don't have to worry about the shortage of raw materials and the limitation of space, how about just doing your experiments with peace of mind? ”
Ian also seemed interested in the proposal, but as soon as he showed a hint of yearning, he turned his gaze to the old couple beside him.
Old Bill touched his beard and smiled: "Go kid~!" We're fine here, and little Bill is now taking care of the crops in the field, no problem! Follow the Klosen, I believe in you, you are the pride of our town! ”
With the permission of the old couple, Ian's expression became visibly excited. It is true that the old Bill family's economic situation is not good, and there is no condition for Ian to do too many alchemy experiments. Therefore, he can only do some simple theoretical operations in the temporarily renovated laboratory, and spends more time reading books.
It's different if you follow Klose! I heard that he is a lord? Then the lord must have his own territory and castle, and while doing experiments himself, he can also use alchemy to improve the growth of some crops in his territory. If the ingredients are right, he can also make a batch of magic potions for Klose, which makes it exciting to think about!
