Otherworldly Apprentice Lich and Foot Knight

Looking at the dozen or so officials who were waiting for business with serious faces, Zhou Lingke, who thought that he could be lazy for a day or two, felt strange even though he knew that the main purpose of this town was to build towers.

——A little depressed, but still a little guilty.

Because this is the reckless national style, at least most low-level officials are like this, pragmatic and diligent.They don't seem to know what it means to be "lazy" or "tricky".

"Please help me find a guide, take a local architect and let them show me around." Since they are like this, Zhou Lingke will not delay.He had to find a suitable construction site, but Zhou Lingke was neither a geologist nor an architect. He was worried that the one he liked might have problems with load bearing, so he had to bring an architect along with him besides a guide.When he was still doing research with the Magic Tower and many mages, he had already learned that the architects of this era are all-rounders, and generally understand some geology and topography.

"It's ready for you." The same official who took the lead replied.

"Don't we need to hand over the documents?" Zhou Lingke finally got out of the carriage, and he took out his transfer order.

"I am the former mayor." A slightly fat middle-aged man ran over, "We can hand over right here."

"Okay..." Zhou Lingke saw that Xia En, who got off the car behind him, was also handing over to another one-armed soldier.The whole process took only half an hour. The former mayor handed Zhou Lingke his seal, documents such as warehouse personnel, or the outline of the documents, "But we still have to go to the warehouse."

"I've already counted!" It was still the official who took the lead just now.Zhou Lingke didn't feel guilty at all now, because he felt obvious hostility from this person who didn't even introduce himself, "You don't need to add unnecessary burdens to yourself."

"It's not an unnecessary burden, it's my duty."

"Don't you trust me?" The young official looked at Zhou Lingke in a daze, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Zhou Lingke really wanted to ask him: Are you sick?

"This is not a question of trust in you, but a question of my own responsibility. After all, I am the mayor of the town." Once again, that's what it should be, right?

Zhou Lingke and Xia En went into the town together. Zhou Lingke was going to check several warehouses. He was going to check the prison, warehouses, wells and other places.Sean will also go to see the armory, prison and other places.So simply, Zhou Lingke pulled the former mayor and the former magistrate into his carriage, and when the carriage left, the official's face was so black that ink dripped down.

"Is there a problem?" The two former mayors sitting opposite Zhou Lingke and Xia En, the former mayor, were covered in sweat, like ants on a hot pot.The one-armed ex-sheriff is less revealing than the ex-mayor, but his expression is also not good.

"No, not at all." The former mayor immediately shook his head.

"That... is the one who talked to me, what's his name?" In my impression, the people here, at least in the Magic Tower and the Blackstone Fortress, the people he and Xia En met, although they are very familiar with the superiors and Obedience, but never so frightened.

"Hodget Edwindy."

"Edwindy?" This is the surname of the royal family here.But the royal family... After seeing that king, Zhou Lingke's impression of the Kemangtan royal family was also at the bottom of the valley.Although he became like that because of a curse, Zhou Lingke really wanted to say that he deserved what he deserved if he didn't implicate those ordinary people, "Doesn't the king only have one younger brother?"

"Lord Edwindy and His Majesty are distant relatives."

If they are distant relatives, the fear of these two people is not because of his royal status: "What is the real position of Lord Edwindy?"

"The first clerk of Sopota Town."

"What about his original position?" Xia En asked.

"It's also the first clerk." It was the silent former sheriff who answered, "It's just a certain big city."

"..." Zhou Lingke and Xia En looked at each other, and they understood a little bit why that person had such great hostility towards Zhou Lingke. They were both clerks, but changing from a big city to a clerk in a town didn't mean they were downgraded three levels in a row. That's all.But there should be something else. The transfer of Huo Jiete to build the magic power tower can be regarded as the trust of his superiors. After all, this is also a big project.It was too unwise for him to express such obvious hostility towards Zhou Lingke.Next, Zhou Lingke stopped asking about Huo Jiete, and they returned the topic to Sopota Town.

"There is a problem with the land in the town, can't it be cultivated?"

"Yes." Speaking of the topic, the chubby former mayor stabilized, showing that he was more like a reckless official in Zhou Lingke's impression, "The land here is no different from other places in appearance. , where there are no traces of people, weeds and trees grow luxuriantly. But it is strange that only [-]% of the crops in the cultivated land can be harvested. From a long time ago, we have been inviting magicians to watch, but Until now, no one has figured out why."

It seems that this is also one of the reasons why Zhou Lingke was chosen such a place.There is not much harvest here, and the population is small. Even if the land is completely polluted by Zhou Lingke's undead tower, it will not be a pity.

"But there are a lot of animals here." The former sheriff said, "People can hunt for food. Every autumn, many merchants come here to buy fur. At that time, it is best to call the militia. Those foreign merchants brought them purse, but also often brings strife.”

"How's the situation of the militia?" This was Xia En's business. He simply sat across from him and asked his predecessor.

"militia……"

What started as a four-person conversation quickly turned into two-on-two.Zhou Lingke and Xia En have never been officials in charge of a city (well, not a city, just a small town), and they have discussed what to do along the way, but it is definitely not as good as asking these two experienced officials study.

The town is not big, but after listening to these two explanations and visiting various necessary places, it was already evening.There were two officials in the middle, and the meaning of the visit was very simple, that is, to let Zhou Lingke set off immediately to find a suitable construction site outside.Logically speaking, as a newcomer, Zhou Lingke shouldn't easily offend others.When the second official came to him, he was a little hesitant, whether he should just put aside the affairs in the town and follow what the other party said, and go out of the town to find a place.But Xia En, who saw his hesitation, tugged him.

It is night now, and they are also staying in the mayor's house-the mayor's house is a collection of multiple functions. A granary and prison.The former mayor and sheriff lived in the post house, with their families.

"Boss, aren't you afraid of offending people?" Zhou Lingke had already taken a shower and was lying on the bed. There was a big soft basket in the corner, and Pie had fallen asleep in it with Maoqu in his arms, while Xia En had just taken a bath. good to come in.

"It depends on who is offended." Xia En shrugged, patted Zhou Lingke to get him out of the way, and lay down on the bed by himself.

"But... since that special was sent to cooperate with me, he shouldn't be a visitor from the opposing camp, right?" Zhou Lingke stepped aside first, then turned around immediately, leaning towards Xia En's side.

"Although other people are somewhat concealed, what is certain is that he should also be protected by some people, but for some reason he himself is not satisfied with this arrangement. However, no matter who is behind him , first of all, you are not wrong in this matter from the point of view of mangtan; but from an emotional point of view... If you flatter him, no, or just show concessions to him, many people will not be happy to see it of."

"..."

"not understand?"

"I understand a little bit, but I don't really understand." Zhou Lingke shook his head, lifted the quilt and got in himself, and put his arms around Xia En's waist, "But I just need to remember that it is enough to listen to you for everything!"

"I'm not afraid that I'll sell you, you are definitely a rare commodity to live in now."

"Then I have to try my best to recover the loss before you find a buyer." Something moved under the quilt, and Xia En's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"Why do you..." From the day on the road, as long as there is a stable place, Zhou Lingke will definitely fight with him in the cup quilt, Xia En dodges, "Don't toss too much." He always Worried about Zhou Lingke's excessive indulgence, but seeing that he is still alive and well during the day.

"No." Zhou Lingke continued to get tired of turning over, and said triumphantly, "You should know that I have been strengthened in many aspects." When he first became a lich, Zhou Lingke was worried that if the lich was a dead person , then will the fraternity below him gradually lose its function? Facts have proved that it is just his unfounded worry. Now that we have been separated for so long, we urgently need a channel for venting, both emotionally and physically. Moreover, the time for this "flood release" is obviously not a day or two. , Even one month or two months is enough.Of course, Zhou Lingke's own physical strength is sufficient, but he has been paying attention to Xia En's physical condition, and will never do anything to hurt Xia En. Anyway, on this journey, Xia En has never been unable to wake up the next morning. The condition of the bed appeared.

"Why did I fall in love with you?" Xia En held Zhou Lingke's cheeks with both hands, and squeezed his face into a strange shape with a little force.

"One me, mud." (Because I love you)

"Hahahaha." Of course Xia En knew what Zhou Lingke meant, and at the same time seeing his face turned into a piggy, Xia En couldn't help laughing, but halfway through the laugh he suddenly frowned.

Xia En's serious face made Zhou Lingke stop his hands: "What's wrong?"

"The sage Laelke Zasida..." Shane said, from Shane's distorted pronunciation just now, he suddenly thought of Old John's "come to drink porridge", and then the sage who they had almost determined to be the senior Then his name popped up, "That Zha, could it be...'Zi'?"

"Huh?" Chinese people have names, but names and characters are actually separate. Before the Republic of China, Chinese people had characters, but they disappeared after the Republic of China.If the other party is an ancient man, could it be that he was misunderstood when he introduced himself? "Lelke...Lyle...sounds like Li, Li Ke or something? The word Xida? It's very possible!" Zhou Lingke laughed happily.

Xia En also laughed with him, but suddenly his expression became silent again: "The sage never married, and his tomb is in the suburbs of Alcindra." No matter what they have become, even if Knowing that [-]% of them would be sent to the autopsy table when they went back, the idea of ​​"going home" still remained in the hearts of the two of them.

"He didn't go home." Zhou Lingke kissed Xia En's cheek, "But I've been going home a lot lately, probably hundreds of times every night? Now I'm on my way home too."

Xia En's face became hot, and for a while he seriously considered whether to kick Zhou Lingke out of the bed, and even moved his legs, but in the end, he still held back: "Hurry up?" asked self-destructively.

"Well! Here we come!" Knowing that he walked around Xia En's cordon, Zhou Lingke stuck out his tongue in his heart, and didn't dare to say anything more, but "acted by himself".

The next day, the two of them got up early enough.After all, they all formed a habit in the military camp. Originally, they wanted to see the two exes off, but they found that the other party had already dragged their families on the road before dawn when the city gate opened. It was like running for their lives. Same.

Before they left the station, Huo Jiete, a distant relative of the royal family, came in person this time.The first sentence I saw them was so straightforward that it made people uncomfortable: "Master, have you never been an official? So, even if you take over a small town, it will take so much time?"

Although there was no ridicule or sarcasm in Huojiete's tone, just blunt questioning and condescending contempt were enough to make people angry.Zhou Lingke felt that he was well-cultivated. If he changed to someone with a bad temper, he would probably do it right now.

"It's true that I have never been an official, this is number one..." Zhou Lingke explained with a suppressed temper.

"Then just leave the matter to experienced people. As a magician, you have to do what you should do. Please go to the construction site as soon as possible, and know that all the manpower and items are ready and waiting You call it a cold summer, and if you don’t start work for a day, the loss is not something that people in this small town can afford.”

"Change someone else!" Xia En suddenly said with a sullen face.
