Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Xia En sat on his own bed in the barracks, brushing his hair, but his eyes wandered a little.

He was also thinking about Zhou Lingke, and what Zhou Lingke was worried about along the way was exactly what he was worried about.But they are adults, they have lost the impulsiveness and enthusiasm of teenagers, and lacked the momentum to move forward no matter what. They think more, they think about the future, and they understand that if they want to change their situation, they must face the society. Surrender to the status quo, and only when you climb to a certain level can you hold hands and ignore the rules and sights below.This is true no matter which world it is in, as long as it is human society.

So, it seems that all they can do now is miss?

Sighing, Xia En didn't know why Zhou Lingke was transferred to the capital, but it obviously meant that he was valued more by the reckless upper management.But this is not a good thing, because Zhou Lingke's character is obviously not suitable for participating in the upper-level politics of intrigue.

"Xia En!" Thin Jack ran in suddenly, his expression looked more dazed than Xia En who was in a daze just now, "Your order has arrived."

"My order?"

Because Xia En entered the training camp, according to Mangtan's rules, they would indeed return to their respective teams after the training.It's just that the crisis in Blackstone Fort delayed this time.But even so, it should be all of them accepting the new appointment together, not one person alone, especially not the newcomer Shane.

After receiving the transfer order, this inexplicable feeling became even more serious.Because Shane didn't transfer any wrong ones, he became the sheriff of Sopota Town.

——Mangtan’s most elite troops are the guards, the second is the frontier guards, the third is the garrisons in special places (such as the mage tower), and the next is the large corps in various places. As for the villages and towns The soldiers who maintain law and order here are the worst and worst soldiers. They are not even treated as soldiers or colleagues by other armies, and the sheriffs are generally disabled veterans who have no choice but to retire.Therefore, in the eyes of Mangtan people, the arrangement for Xia En is not a promotion, not even a flat transfer, but a complete demotion.And the current Xia En can't compare with the "disabled old man" no matter how he looks at it, right?

"What happened?" Discipline prevented these people from questioning the order, but when the messenger who conveyed the order left, some people still couldn't help asking.At the same time, he complained angrily for Xia En.

"I think... I probably know what's going on." Xia En held the transfer order, but he smiled.Unlike these reckless people, they are more eager to kill the enemy on the battlefield, change their status, and strive for a better future for their descendants.He and Zhou Lingke don't have that kind of upward lift, they just need a little stability.

This order is definitely not because of what happened to her, but because of what happened to Zhou Lingke!In particular, at the end of the transfer order, it was stated that he would go to Sopota Town together with the mayor of the town that was also just appointed.Sure enough, what happened two days later proved this point.He waited in the post house according to the order of transfer, when a car stopped, Zhou Lingke got off from it, and waved to him: "Hey, my lord sheriff."

At that moment, he really wanted to run over and hug each other, but now is not the right time.

But just get in the car!

The moment the car door closed, they couldn't tell who jumped at whom first, who hugged whom first, and who kissed whom first.All in all... longing and feverish...

"Meow~" The big cat huddled on the corner of the luggage rack of the carriage, next to a ball of string poking out its head, but Zhou Lingke and Xia En had no time to care about them now.

To be honest, both of these two have the desire to drive, and it's not like they didn't do it secretly when they were still on Earth.However, after all, this car is now driving on the streets of the capital of a country, and there are attendants and drivers in front of the car.So after being intimate for an unknown amount of time, it can't be regarded as a farewell, but it is a long-lost couple who finally separated a little - they just stopped kissing and touching, but they were still close together.

"What's going on?" Sean asked.

"It's a kind of protection. Let's start with me treating the reckless king." Zhou Lingke grabbed Xia En's hand, stroking it intentionally but unintentionally, while telling him what happened two days ago, use Chinese.

"So, that Hill VI is sure to die?"

"Yes. Master Polivi said that he has found the king's illegitimate son, who is still a young man, but according to the tradition of busy talks, he will inherit the throne after the king's death, so turmoil has arisen."

"The master is weak and the minister is strong." Xia En nodded, even if he hadn't read history books, he could understand these things just by watching TV.

"Well, now the political power of Mangtan is divided into four parts: civil servants, magicians, church, and royal family."

"Where's the army?"

"Mangtan's army is independent and does not participate in politics." Zhou Lingke shrugged his shoulders when he answered this way. Obviously he didn't take it seriously. No matter how independent the army is, it will be involved in politics, because as part of the country's indispensable power, It must be inseparable from politics.

Shane had the same idea as him: "The army is neutral, can you see it that way?"

"It should be. What Master Bolivi meant was that after the king's death, his son was too young, but his younger brother was at the prime of his life, and that His Majesty the prince had a good reputation among civil servants and military officials. The capital is very likely to fall into chaos. As a magician who can build magic towers, summon war beasts, and help Mangtan win the victory in the just-concluded battle, I will definitely be won by all parties , and may even face the danger of being murdered behind the scenes."

"So let you be the mayor of a town? Don't they worry that you will be transferred back?" Xia En realized that this was protection, but he obviously felt that this protection was not reassuring.

"It's not the mayor of a simple town. It's the mayor of the town where Mangtan's second magic power tower gathers."

"They asked you to build the magic tower yourself? Why?" Shane frowned. This kind of behavior can be said to be protection, but it can also be said to be a kind of rejection.

"I don't know what the fundamental reason is, but a large part of the reason is because the tower I want to build is of the undead system. Generally speaking, in addition to those benefits, the tower of the undead system also has the biggest The downside is pollution."

"Pollution?" The word made Shane look weird. After all, when people on Earth think of pollution, tall chimneys spewing black smoke and water pipes that discharge black water appear in their minds.

"You remember when we were with Old John, it was cold, the ground was frozen hard, and the plants were basically dead..."

"Oh! That's what you said! The tower of the undead you built will also have that kind of impact on the surrounding environment?"

"More than that. In fact, all magic power towers will pollute the surrounding environment, but compared to humans, there are good and bad. Moreover, there are also influences between towers. They are also worried that the undead tower will give other magic power The tower brings the breath of death. In addition, the magic towers will also affect each other. For example, if the towers of water and fire are too close, they will weaken each other. And I don’t know what the magic tower will be after it is built. How big is the scope of the pollution? The magicians have studied it for a long time, and probably even if there is no such thing as the king, my tower will be built outside the original village, very far away."

"So now, they simply found a place farther away to house you?"

"Well, Master Bolivi said that even in the original village, I might be affected by some things, so he thought it would be best to simply let me go." Zhou Lingke hugged Xia En's waist tightly, regardless of being caught by him. It hurts how much the armor is separated, just rubbing against him.

"Your robe is thin, be careful that your skin is torn." Xia En hid for a while, but Zhou Lingke followed him again, and he had no choice but to let him go. "It is indeed best to leave, but don't trust them too much." To this country , they are still in the learning stage, and the upper class is even more unfamiliar.In fact, Master Polivi cannot be completely trusted, not to question the character of this old man, but after all, he is in a different position, thinking in a different direction, and Zhou Lingke's ability lies there... But the information and resources he has are too few, Xia In the end, En can only come to the same conclusion that leaving is the best.

"I know." Zhou Lingke also smiled, "I am also an adult."

"What a fart!" Xia En patted Zhou Lingke on the forehead, "Damn it!"

"Can't you rub it for a while?"

"Aren't you in pain?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"You're dead!" Xia En pulled Zhou Lingke's robe away, and found two bruises.

Zhou Lingke had no choice but to sit up straight while arranging his clothes, and asked at the same time: "Boss, did you also go to the battlefield? Are you not injured?"

"..." Xia En didn't know why he was a little guilty. Although the wound on his shoulder had closed his mouth a long time ago, it didn't matter if he told Zhou Lingke, but he didn't know what happened. What's the matter with that? It's a big cat, right?"

He kept on the luggage rack, squatting for a long time and being ignored for a long time, the big cat immediately felt powerless and aggrieved: "Meow~~~" and jumped into Xia En's arms.The two little paws scratched and scratched, and they acted coquettishly.

"It's a big cat." Zhou Lingke raised his eyebrows, "Boss, you're injured...and it's not serious?" Xia En changed the subject so obviously, if Zhou Lingke didn't feel it, he was not pure, he was stupid.

"Small injury, really small injury, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you were worried!" Xia En scolded himself for being too stupid, "It's just a hole!"

"Oh, it's just a hole..." Zhou Lingke's tone could almost be said to be yin and yang, but Xia En's guilt became more serious, and he didn't even dare to answer. Zhou Lingke didn't continue to entangle in this matter, or said, "Now He didn't continue to struggle with this matter, he grabbed the big cat that was sitting in the corner of the teacher immediately when he felt that something was wrong, "We really need to think of a name for it."

"Meow~~"

What happened to the big cat, just using "miracle" is not enough to express it, but fortunately, it is our own: "How about calling it Wanzi?"

At this time, the big cat has been put on the floor, and the string ball has been taken down, so the big cat is chasing the string ball to play.

"It won't be too greasy, will it?"

"sweet dumpling?"

"It's too dark."

"Hamburger?"

"Boss, why do you always want to eat?"

"Because I suddenly remembered the beef pie you sent me, it was delicious." Xia En kissed Zhou Lingke.

"Boss... do you think that I will forget about your injury?"

"..."

"Don't expect too much. When we stay tonight, we will start to settle accounts. But pie is a good name, and it will be called pie in the future. Pie?"

"Meow~~" The big cat, who will be called Pie from now on, raised his head. Although he was still a little confused about the connection between the summoned creature and its owner, he already understood the general meaning.

As for how it was settled?In fact, Xia En's injuries are indeed healed. Although it was true that he almost bled to death at the time, he would not tell Zhou Lingke honestly about the latter point even if he was beaten to death.Facing the scar that wasn't exactly ferocious, but painful just by looking at it, Zhou Lingke's heartache was already worse than Xia En's pain when he was injured.So their account, of course, is to be settled slowly with the light on, but it is just a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer...

After seven days of riding in a carriage, Zhou Lingke and Xia En arrived in Suopota Town smoothly all the way.They had thought it was a small town, but apparently they were only half right.

——The town itself is really not big, counting the three affiliated villages, the population is around [-].Because this town is in the interior, there is no need to consider foreign enemies.Coupled with Mangtan's own institutional relations, there are almost no idlers in the country, and the law and order are very good.There are less than [-] people in the whole town, including the town patrol soldiers, warehouses, and prisons, which can be regarded as armed forces, and there are even fewer administrative officials, only a dozen people.

But now, there is an army of 500 people and more than a dozen officials who have arrived here before Zhou Lingke and the others. They came to discuss with Zhou Lingke about building the pagoda.

"The relevant materials in the warehouses in various places have been prepared and started to be shipped. Please choose the construction site as soon as possible, Master Nick." Zhou Lingke had just arrived in Sopota Town, opened the car door, and before moving his foot off the pedal, the leader of the team The officials had already squeezed over, and Zhou Lingke was stunned by the question.It didn't take long for the leading officials to see Zhou Lingke's confusion, and began to explain to him.

In fact, things are also very simple, that is, they are officials in charge of material and personnel scheduling, and Zhou Lingke can order anything he needs.In addition to them, a team of about 30 magicians and the first 1 laborers are all on their way.The only thing they lack is Zhou Lingke, the general manager.
