Home in another world

As night fell, the nightlife in the capital of Elvis officially kicked off.Holding the atlas of the royal capital bought for two silver coins, Lin Yue walked through the brightly lit downtown area and came to a relatively secluded old alley.In this alley lived a fallen nobleman with several scars on his face, named Argus, who often helped the slave market to train slaves who were going to be sent to the nobles' homes.

To turn a fat man into a handsome nobleman, it is not enough to just rely on what looks on paper. Lin Yue felt that it was necessary to find someone who is proficient in this way to give him further training.

The dark old alley was a bit damp, and the air was still filled with the musty smell from the land. Lin Yue sniffled uncomfortably, walked quickly to the innermost low bungalow and knocked on the door.

A rigid and indifferent voice sounded from inside the door: "Who?"

Lin Yue succinctly stated his intention: I hope that Argus can train Fatty and find a group of suitable servants for Fatty—there is no need to consider the price issue. Can't pay this little money?

Argus also seemed to like this straightforward way of communication, and quickly nodded in agreement.Lin Yue was also fortunate to meet this exclusive trainer for the slave market—about 28 or [-] years old. With the dim light, he could clearly see three hideous scars on his face, the longest one extending from the center of the eyebrows to the neck.

But the first thing anyone who saw Argus saw was not the scar on his face—it was the dark gray eyes.His gaze is deep, even if he looks at each other, it feels as if two lifetimes are apart, but people are always very curious about mysterious things, you can't help but look again and again, and then you are deeply impressed by him. deeply attracted.

Lin Yue didn't pay much attention to Argus' appearance, and politely agreed with him on the place and date of signing the contract.In this world, there are also things similar to "credit cards" and "identity cards" - crystal cards. Each crystal card has a special identification mark. Whenever the holder trades with others, the magic circle hidden in the crystal card Be motivated, put it on the record.

Fortunately, "Andrew" was timid, so he did not commit crimes. Although the money was a little less, the crystal card record was very clean.

Of course, it is not Lin Yue who will sign the contract with Argus, he cannot afford the money.So he had to take Argus to meet the fat man sometime.

Just when everything was about to be finalized, there was a sudden scream of pain in the old bungalow: "Let me go! Let me go! I want! I want! Argus! My head hurts, it hurts! Give it to me! "

A bound figure flickered under the dim light, and he couldn't see clearly, but he could feel the strength of the struggle enough to make the ropes around his limbs sink into the flesh.

This situation... doesn't seem too good?Lin Yue realized that he might have peeped into other people's privacy, so he immediately took two steps back and made an apologetic gesture: "Mr. Argus, I will find a carriage to pick you up tomorrow."

A strange look flashed in Argus' eyes, and he said, "Don't use this kind of etiquette anymore, it has been abandoned long ago."

Lin Yue paused in embarrassment: "I read it all from books..."

"I know that the Elvis Book of Manners was compiled by my grandfather," Argus said.

It seems that this is another complicated plot.From Lin Yue's experience in playing games, this attractive sideline is definitely a major obstacle to a perfect ending, so he must stand firm--if you are really interested, you can treat Argus as the second generation after helping the fat man main character.

Lin Yue said goodbye to Argus and walked out of the alley.The radiant defensive magic circle outside the capital of Elvis cannot be seen in the city, but the sky full of stars is like pearls inlaid in black silk, shining brightly.

Being able to appreciate this kind of beautiful scenery that is completely different from the gray sky on the earth, Lin Yue didn't feel very moved, but was very painful-the moon disappeared, and the sun and stars changed a lot, so the calendar of this world is not the same as that of the earth. The earth is completely different!Although he directly accepted the memory of "Andrew", Lin Yue still felt that the time difference was too great, and he didn't know how long it would take to reverse it.

——and the ancient hourglass, which he couldn't understand either.

Gotta get someone to help make an alarm clock.Lin Yue thought for a while, and took out the Wangdu Atlas to search for his next destination.It has to be said that the Ives people are really proficient in the use of magic circles. For example, this small atlas is composed of nearly a hundred simple small circles, which can give Lin Yue the enjoyment that is completely similar to the game: As long as the location is selected or the search array is activated in a specific way, relevant routes and information can be obtained instantly.

That's why Lin Yue was able to approach Argus directly.Now Lin Yue has arrived at the location he just checked: the dwarf alchemy shop.

Elvis believes in the Temple of Nature, and there is very little friction between the various races, and races with special skills are even more respected.For example, the dwarves who are good at alchemy and casting are very popular. The dwarf alchemy shop is the most famous shop in the capital of Elvis, but the owner is not a dwarf, but a red-haired uncle who is about 40 years old. He has a good temper. Being scolded or being praised all scratched the back of the head and laughed.

There are a variety of alchemy products in the store, mainly weapons. The weapons made by dwarves are liked by almost everyone.The clerks are all dwarves. According to Lin Yue's not-so-rich knowledge, they seem to be gray dwarves—a very unpopular family, because their blood is not pure enough, and they are not liked by the main dwarf family.Moreover, gray dwarves are not as flexible as pure-blooded dwarves in their hands and feet, so they are destined to be unable to create artifacts.

As soon as Lin Yue entered the store, a gray dwarf with a wine-stained nose warmly greeted him.Seeing the gray dwarf whose height was less than his waist, Lin Yue once again felt the strangeness of this world.He directly explained the purpose of coming: "I want to ask you to help build something."

The gray dwarf was very happy: "Customers who order things will be received by the shop manager himself, please follow me."

There is a small workshop behind the store, and the sound of tinkling irons can be heard endlessly. There are also many magic apprentices in elementary robes who are busy drawing magic circles. It seems that all the alchemists are in the room, and Lin Yue has no chance to see them.

Lin Yue followed the gray dwarf and soon saw a shirtless red-haired man hitting a piece of red iron with a hammer. It seemed that he was the manager of the store. The name on the information was Dai Lun.

Hearing that Lin Yue was going to build something new, Uncle Dai Lun immediately stopped what he was doing.So Lin Yue explained the concept of the clock, he hoped to subdivide the [-] hours of day and night here, and then make an alarm clock, a pocket watch - Lin Yue didn't know how to do it, but he believed in the future With the excellent alchemy and magic circles in this world, it is absolutely not a problem to create things.

Dai Lun was quiet for a long time after hearing Lin Yue's thoughts, and said excitedly: "Good idea! But respected Mr. Magician, do you still need this 'alarm clock' with your current mental strength?"

"There are lazy magicians in the world," Lin Yue touched his nose, "I am one."

Darren laughed: "Many wonderful inventions are created by lazy people! This thing is easy to make, but I want to make a contract with you - this thing will be sold by our dwarf alchemy shop in the future, and one person will make a profit Half, do you agree with Mr. Magician?"

Lin Yue knew that Dai Lun had a good character. If he went to another house, he probably wouldn't be so kind to give him a dividend.But doing nothing is half of it, Lin Yue is not that shameless; of course he will not push the money out, Lin Yue can't do such a noble thing."Just give me a tenth of the bonus if you insist," he suggested.

Hearing the unwillingness to discuss in Lin Yue's tone, Dai Lun quickly drew up the contract, and took out the crystal card to record the contract. It was absolutely straightforward from beginning to end.

Dare to take risks, good at grasping business opportunities, and extremely sincere in dealing with people... Lin Yue felt that Dai Lun had all the elements to become a successful businessman. No wonder the dwarf alchemy shop could gain a foothold in the bustling capital.

Thinking this way, he took out the crystal card belonging to "Andrew" and signed his first contract in this world.
