Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

"Don't want to cover up?" Xia En asked Zhou Lingke.

"Well, I don't want to. I'm sorry, I didn't discuss it with you in advance." When I opened the door just now, I was frank, but now Xia En kissed Zhou Lingke and was a little panicked. "And our neighbor probably knows too."

"You don't need to apologize. When you went to open the door, I didn't stop you, so I already made my position known." Xia En waved his hand, "Looking at your expression, the attitude of the person next door is not very good?"

"I think if it weren't for our current identities, we are all immigrants waiting for the Mang Tan assessment, and we were warned not to fight privately when we first came, he would have jumped on me and beat me up. It seems that the world The attitude towards us aliens is similar to that of the earth, not to mention that we are still the aliens among the aliens."

"regret?"

"How is it possible?" Zhou Lingke sat down, "Is there any father here that I care about, and there is no business that needs to be managed well, and I don't want to care about other people's eyes, I just want to hold your hand and live with you in a fair and honest manner. Besides, it’s so dangerous here, and I don’t have any plans to travel. It’s enough to have a roof holding your hands and grow old slowly. Of course... if you want to fight for world supremacy, I’ll kill people and silence you right now.”

Zhou Lingke made a gesture to stand up, and Xia En really pulled him back immediately - he didn't want a career, but only wanted to eat and drink. This can be regarded as a very unmotivated idea, but Zhou Lingke said so simply to Xia En, because Indeed they are both the same.

It doesn't matter if they are "assigned" to remote areas to endure hardships because of their sexuality, anyway, they are not old now, and they are not normal people anymore.After 30 or [-] years of tossing, you can still live a stable life.

After Zhou Lingke finished speaking, Xia En really held his hand, but only with a little force, he let go again.

"Okay, let me show my heart. Then, then..." Xia En pointed to the door with his eyes.

"Ah?" Zhou Lingke pretended not to understand.

"I'm taking a shower." Xia En sighed and said bluntly.

"It's just a bath, it's not like I haven't washed one piece. Let's take a piece~ Let's take a piece~" Zhou Lingke gently scratched Xia En's shoulder,

Xia En's hand suddenly stretched out, Zhou Lingke hadn't reacted yet, so he patted Zhou Lingke's shoulder with his backhand: "It's inconvenient for me to wear gloves, please help me."

"it is good!"

When they lie on the bed again, it is after dinner, when they are extremely full in all aspects.

Zhou Lingke just went back to his room and brought back the parchments—the two that Cervans gave them. They read one, and they hadn't read the other one with some explanations of titles written on it.

The two huddled together on the bed, and put the wooden chair beside the bed as a bedside table with an oil lamp on it.

Unpacking the parchment, Zhou Lingke glanced at it twice. Originally, he wanted to read it like that first, but suddenly he was stunned: "Huh?"

"what happened?"

"This...is weird."

"Strange?"

"It's better to say it's familiar."

"familiar?"

"Wait a minute, let me take a look..." Zhou Lingke read it twice from beginning to end, "There are 22 ranks of titles here, first divided into king, duke, marquis, earl, viscount, baron, and knight. Among the knights, there are reserve knights. , Bronze Knight, Black Iron Knight, Silver Knight, Golden Knight, Prince of White Feather, Prince of Silver Scale, and Prince of Gold Mane. Other dukes and barons are divided into one to three ranks, the first rank is high, and the third rank is low. Different titles The privileges are different, and the specifics are absolutely impossible to write on this piece of paper, but those with lower titles must give way to those with lower titles. This is the most basic thing. There are no fiefdoms for titles here, only barons and above have annuities, and there are different requirements for clothing. In the event of a dispute—as long as it does not violate the law, no matter right or wrong, the one with the highest title has the first right to interpret it.”

"Isn't that what has the right to be right?"

"Behind this, Mangtan's law stipulates that high-ranking people are not allowed to use their titles to deceive and bully civilians and low-ranking people. It seems that this needs to be analyzed in detail."

"It's not surprising that this kind of fantasy novel is familiar. Six out of ten fantasy novels on the computer have settings similar to this one, that is, the title is different."

"I know, but listen to the following, there is also the level setting of official positions here, and you will know why I feel familiar after listening to it." Zhou Lingke passed the sheepskin roll over, and pointed out to Xia En that some of the places should be with seals The animal patterns printed on it, "not counting ordinary soldiers and clerks who have not been officially appointed. The official positions of civil servants and military officers are divided into [-] grades, from negative ninth grade, positive ninth grade, to negative first grade, positive first grade."

"Plus or minus?"

"Well, after looking at it for a long time, the meaning of these two words is close."

"It's a little vaguely familiar, you continue to talk." Xia En frowned. After all, Zhou Lingke didn't finish talking, so it's not clear what happened.

"These officials have standard uniforms, and there are special magic badges on the costumes. The badges are different animal patterns, the negative ones are black and white, and the positive ones are colored. From nine to one, the civil servants are in order. Swallows, parrots, partridges, swans, snowy owls, stormbirds, griffins, thunderhawks, phoenixes.Warriors are foxes, wolves, tigers, lions, bears, great apes, unicorns, chimeras, and dragons. "

After Zhou Lingke finished reading, the two of them stopped talking while you looked at me and I looked at you.

Wen Feiqin, Wuzou beast.One to nine.

"Those swallows, parrots, partridges, foxes, wolves..."

"Some are words from this place, but some are basically transliterations. Although some are out of tune, it is probably the relationship between time and the pronunciation habits of this place. It may be what we thought at the beginning."

There was another silence.

"Suddenly, there is a feeling that we are not the only two unlucky ones."

"Well, it turns out that some people really went to other worlds to become kings and hegemony, and their emotions are complicated."

The two looked at each other and smiled together.

"Go to sleep." Zhou Lingke pulled up the quilt.

"Don't cover me so tightly." Xia En pushed, he has scales, but he is not a cold-blooded animal, on the contrary, he is very afraid of heat.

"Oh." Zhou Lingke replied slowly, stopped pulling the quilt, and went to hug Xia En.Xia En moved twice, but still let him hug him helplessly.

Someone has been here, so someone has been here, and the person who has been here may have become famous, so that is also the matter of that person.The two sighed as if it was something new, and let it go.I didn't plan to look for it, let alone recognize relatives.You still have to live your own life.

During his stay in this small village, Zhou Lingke asked the boss what would happen to them. The boss' answer was just to let them wait at ease, and he gave the same answer to others.Zhou Lingke and Xia En didn't ask any more questions. Although it was absolutely impossible to feel at ease, at least they were patient enough—it was their neighbor, the pale young man, who had a violent temper and almost got into a fight with the boss. , and was beaten up by one of the stout middle-aged men.

The young man got up from the ground and left the inn angrily, and never came back.

Although Zhou Lingke and Xia En watched from the beginning to the end, this young man has never been their topic.They seem to be at ease, but in fact they are too busy with their own affairs.

Sean is trying to restrain the scales on his body. Although James has told Sean his experience, everyone's situation is different, and it is obvious that James is not suitable for Sean.Otherwise, he wouldn't have made any movement along the way.

Zhou Lingke is working hard to dig out useful things in his mind from the memories passed down by the old John through the inheritance of wisdom.

"What if we want to separate?" On the third day, both of them were a little overworked, sitting by the field stalks and watching the sunset.Xia En's sudden remark startled Zhou Lingke.

"what happened?"

"Although these villagers don't say anything, we immigrants seem to be assigned." Xia En said with a sneer, "What if we are separated?"

"It depends."

"What do you think?"

"If it's only for a short time, obey, if not, run away."

"Good boy." Xia En patted Zhou Lingke on the head, "You have really grown up."

"Don't you know I'm old?" Zhou Lingke snorted, "By the way, you even tested me, what are you going to do?"

They were placed in this village, and they obviously received more preferential treatment than those who were diverted to other places.And getting preferential treatment means (according to Xia En's words) that they get more attention when they are assigned, which also means that they lack more autonomy, although other people's autonomy is not much more.It is possible for them to be separated, and it is necessary to consider the worst angle.

But being separated requires resistance, but it is not necessary.

"What else can I do? Mix it hot or cold as you like, okay?"

Of course, regardless of whether it is cold or hot, Zhou Lingke mixes (does) people well and eats them.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, the two of them had just had breakfast when they heard the sound of horses coming from outside.In fact, there are no horses in this village, only three cows, and they are raised in a yard in the north of the village.The last time I saw a horse, it was the car that Lazhou Lingke and the others came over.

Almost at the same time, two words popped up in their hearts at the same time: Here we come!
