Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Zhou Lingke put his hands around the top of his forearm. He did this to stop the bleeding, but almost as soon as he landed, a small puddle of blood appeared on the ground.

Xia En wanted to help Zhou Lingke, but his hand stopped halfway as soon as he stretched it out - Zhou Lingke's flesh was still hanging on it.

"@#￥%@#" At this time, they heard strange and strange syllables, but it should be a human voice, and animals cannot make such complicated pronunciations.

Zhou Lingke and Xia En looked up at the direction of the pronunciation at the same time, and if they were so focused on Zhou Lingke's broken arm just now that they ignored the surrounding area.What they saw now made even the injured Zhou Lingke forget the pain in his arm.

——Resident Evil or Scourge?

The white and miserable skeleton, the stinking zombie in tattered clothes, the headless horseman riding a mummified horse with green hooves, and a giant at least five meters tall, but it is impossible to see clearly what happened to it except that its hands and feet are standing upright what is it...

There are more things that should be dead, but are still walking under the blue sky and white sun.

Suddenly remembered something, Zhou Lingke turned his head abruptly!What he saw was the skeleton of a winged dragon that seemed to come out of a museum of natural history. On its white skull, two black nostrils were blowing out a dark blue snort.

So is that what brought them both out of the forest?A bone dragon?

The shock was too great, and the brain was a little overwhelmed. Now Zhou Lingke and Xia En didn't even have time to be afraid.Until there was a sudden "crack!", something exploded in front of Zhou Lingke.Suddenly, Zhou Lingke's eyes turned black, and he fell on Xia En's shoulder.He lost so much blood that he began to faint.

Xia En didn't dare to touch Zhou Lingke, so he let him rely on himself, surrounded by countless monsters, his hand could scratch Zhou Lingke's arm, but it didn't mean he could protect him under the siege of these monsters.But this one who spoke, wearing a black robe with a hood, only showing a little chin, I don't know if he is a guy who is dead or alive, looks like a leader?Xia En wondered what chance he had of catching him and making him his hostage?

The other party suddenly said something again, this time a green light flashed.Xia En wanted to stop, but the green light still passed him. He turned around quickly in fright, but forgot Zhou Lingke's current posture, and almost made Zhou Lingke fall to the ground.However, they also saw a light green bandage on Zhou Lingke's rotten arm.

Zhou Lingke moved his left arm. He didn't know how to get the bandage, but his arm really didn't hurt anymore, and even the powerless feeling of blood loss was much weaker.

So... is this a gesture?

"I'm fine, much better."

And the Skull Dragon didn't kill them either. One toenail was enough for the two of them, but it just brought them, or more precisely, brought Zhou Lingke back.Zhou Lingke's injury was their own fault, not the dragon's.What is the purpose of the other party?You must know that they are just foreigners who came to this world for a few months at most.

"@#￥%@#" The other party raised his finger again, and Zhou Lingke and Xia En subconsciously took half a step back.This time there is a more "bright" light effect, circles of silver-gray light envelop Zhou Lingke. When the light is at its brightest, Zhou Lingke looks as if he is locked in a silver-gray egg. .

When those lights were annihilated, Zhou Lingke instantly softened and knelt down on the ground.Now his head is more dizzy than when he was bleeding heavily, and he couldn't help but retch on the ground.

"It seems that your body is still very good."

"Are you OK?"

Two voices sounded, although the current Zhou Lingke sounds that the two voices are a little far away, but he still knows that the second anxious voice is Xia En's.As for the first voice that was both satisfied and carefree, he was sure that the pronunciation of the second voice was still weird and tongue-twisting, but now he understood exactly what those pronunciations meant...

Zhou Lingke looked up, and the guy who should have released the legendary magic just now was taking off his hood.Underneath that is an old man's face, the white hair is not long, combed back neatly, a upright and serious face, although old, but the blue eyes are not cloudy, but exude a sharp light, the chin He was well groomed, with only two white beards left under his nose.

To tell you the truth, that beard really didn't suit that face any more than his sloppy voice didn't suit it.This is an old man who, at first glance, makes people feel a strange sense of disobedience.

"I thought it was just runaway farmers who lived in the forest, you...elope nobles and slaves?" Curiosity flashed in the old man's eyes, and he didn't give Zhou Lingke a chance to answer, "Anyway, Now, you are my apprentice, before I tell you that you can become a teacher, you must obey my orders. And his fate is up to you... So, report your name."

This is definitely a forced sale, but rejection?Looking at this old man, looking at those nightmares walking around and guys who only appear in movies, Zhou Lingke chose to quickly report his name: "Lingke·Zhou."

"Come to drink porridge?"

"Lingke·Zhou." Zhou Lingke didn't care much about the pronunciation of the other party. Although this was the first time a foreigner pronounced Zhou Lingke's name so "artistically", who made foreigners' tongues not too developed?And this is a foreigner who has crossed an unknown amount of space.

"Very well, let's drink porridge. Our contract has been concluded, the first thing you have to do now is..."

Ten minutes later, Zhou Lingke and Xia En squatted by a river in a daze.Around them were more than 10 knights on horseback in a protective posture, some without heads, some with skull heads, and some with red lights shining in the holes of their helmets.

Their trip to the river in such a large group was not a special task of collecting holy water, nor was it an evil task of polluting the water source. They were just doing a very simple household task-washing clothes, washing clothes for that old guy.But it's also a daunting task, because...

"Ah!" Zhou Lingke tilted his head and sneezed. These socks are so smelly that they can be directly used to make biochemical weapons.

Xia En, who was talking to him just now, disappeared immediately, and came back after a while, with green leaves stuffed in his nostrils, looking a little ridiculous.In fact, Xia En wanted to help, after all, Zhou Lingke's arm was injured, although the two of them had already discovered that the bandage was still waterproof.But Xia En's hands really can't handle those clothes, and his nose is too delicate, so Zhou Lingke can only do it himself.

"After those lights just now, you understood his language, because he cast inheritance magic on you? What is inheritance magic?"

"Inheritance magic... Inheritance magic is: the magic used by advanced mages for people who have magical talents but have not learned magic, and impart basic magic common sense and some knowledge. The stronger the caster's ability, the more inheritance can be obtained. Many. But a person can only get the effect of inheriting magic once in a lifetime." These old mages never told Zhou Lingke, but now that Xia En asked, he said it naturally.After finishing speaking, Zhou Lingke looked down at the small river and couldn't help grinning—a fish floated on the river with its belly up.

Xia En also looked at the fish. Although it was a prey that could not resist, neither of them had the desire to catch it.

"Why would he do this to you? Just to find someone to do his laundry?"

"And cooking and tidying up the room."

"..." The two were silent for a while, whether it was an apprentice or a servant.

"Anyone can do this, right?" Xia En frowned. There's no need to take an apprentice for this, right? If Zhou Lingke translated and understood the identity of "apprentice" correctly, it should be similar to a student, right?Even closer to teachers than students.

——Compared with the common sense of survival in the wild, the two people have more historical common sense.

Judging from the clothing and behavior of the mage and these undead creatures they saw here, the civilization here is the kind of ancient Europe that developed magic civilization.The apprentice and teacher here are in a contractual symbiotic relationship. The apprentice is separated from his parents and attached to the teacher.The teacher must teach the apprentice skills, and the apprentice must obey the teacher's words, and even admit to beating and scolding.The teacher is old, and the apprentice is even more obliged to provide for the teacher than the teacher's children.

As for students and teachers, it is just a simple employment relationship. You spend money and I give you lessons, but you don’t need me anymore, or if you run out of money, I will leave.

"Actually...he seems to have used a slave contract at first." Zhou Lingke stopped his hands and said.

"!"

"Do you still remember the light at the beginning? If the knowledge poured into this place is correct, I'm sure it's a slave contract." Zhou Lingke pointed to his head and said.

They don't need Conan, they can now deduce the truth of the matter - the old mage found that none of his bone racks, zombies, and tin cans could wash and cook, so he asked the bone dragon to go out and catch an unlucky egg and come back.

"That is to say, his slave contract failed, or it didn't work on you, so he probably used the apprentice contract because he thought it was troublesome or something else?"

"So, our luck is actually pretty good." Zhou Lingke grabbed a bunch of socks out of the box again, cursing "Damn! Why are there so many socks!" while washing them desperately.He felt that by the time the washing was over, his olfactory system would have died...
