Temple and special horse racing skills

The next day, he was still active at Kasimu’s house. Someone got up early in the morning to practice archery. Shi Er was woken up by the sound of the bow and arrow hitting the target. head.Ah Jing was obviously still awake, and frowned because of his noise, but soon stretched out again.

The two quilts were very close to each other. Thanks to his sharper sense of smell than ordinary people, he felt that the air was filled with the smell of the other party's shampoo.

After struggling for a while, Shi Er tiptoed to get up ahead of time, reducing his sense of existence as much as possible.By the time Ah Jing pushed away the barrier and poked his head out of the room sleepily, he had already seen his significant other in the legal sense having completed a rather spectacular morning exercise.

——He has successfully beaten up the conjurers who came to "ask for advice".

These people trust Ah Jing and are willing to obey the other party's instructions unconditionally, but they obviously don't trust him that much-even if the attitude of hospitality is well-behaved, there is nothing wrong with it.This recognition is natural, but it is obviously unpleasant. They may regard him as a choice after weighing the pros and cons, or as a last resort to mediate, just like leaving here to go to the Buddhist monastery.

Therefore, when the young people in the courtyard tried to "do two tricks" with him, Shi Er did not refuse.

He knocked the opponent to the ground within 20 seconds.

The man rubbed his cheeks and climbed up, not annoyed by it, gritted his teeth and took a few more moves under his hands, then moved away silently, and replaced the second person on the stage.

The second fell to the ground faster.

Shi Er suspected that this was a method used in the law of the jungle to confirm the opponent's strength. He saw several spells in just four to ten minutes, including vines that grew rapidly from the soil, and some that could A sickle weasel with its trunk split open.

He has a lot of fighting experience with conjurers. Most of these people are at the second or third level. The strongest one can be called the first level, but there is a clear gap between Zenyuan Jinyi and Zhipiren.The battle of the wheels made him finally sweat a little on his forehead, and when he returned to the courtyard, he just heard the sound of the door opening.

Not far away were some disgraced youths.

"You just came back from morning exercise?"

Ah Jing observed Shi Er's expression, and looked back and forth between the few of them: "It seems that the process was quite intense?"

"……cough."

Shi Er suddenly felt a little guilty: "I kept my hands, they weren't hurt much."

"...he is really strong."

Although everyone seemed a little depressed, they all admitted it.

The expected contradiction did not appear, on the contrary, after this contest, everyone finally recognized his strength—even if it was not the strength of a magician at all.

"Ours is different from Yusanjia."

While eating breakfast, Ah Jing explained while drinking miso soup: "There is a shortage of conjurers in the north. The winter is bitter and cold, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated. Since ancient times, it is necessary to cooperate with each other to survive. Not only It is between conjurers and conjurers, and between conjurers and non-magicians, a close relationship has also been established."

Counting hundreds of years ahead, they would visit each other to help each other during the busy farming season.The conjurers during the busy farming period are just ordinary people with stronger strength. They are not only respected as priests, but also trusted as reliable partners. In this way, they support each other and form a special structure with Hokkaido as the core.

"It's not bad, isn't it?"

"Hmm... that sounds good."

Shi Er is a bit clueless—this seemingly good structure is actually not that solid. In his impression, the loss rate of conjurers here is almost the same as that of Tokyo and Kyoto, and the work pressure is also very high , the only difference is that this kind of pressure is distributed relatively more evenly, and it is not too oppressive for auxiliary supervisors and new blood like the magic world.

As long as the spirit exists, stress and the threat of death will always follow.

Of course, he himself does not have the consciousness of "worrying about the world first", but if some of these pressures have to be shared on that person's shoulders, the mentality of wanting to show the world regardless of everything Completely disappeared.

"What are you going to do next? Will you stay in Aomori?"

"Well, let's deal with the work here a little bit... But it won't be too long. I have to rush back to Tokyo for the new league."

Ah Jing nodded: "Is there any place Shier wants to go? If so, I can entrust someone to drive you there."

"...It seems that learning to drive is really necessary."

"Yes—I really want to be 20 soon."

"It's not necessarily good things will happen at the age of 20."

"At least I can drink freely."

Shi Er couldn't help but look at her more, as if you are not free enough to drink now... As long as you use a little magic power, the metabolism of the liver and kidney of the conjurer will far exceed that of ordinary people. The destruction of the body is extremely limited.It is also because of this that most magicians are not very good at restraining juniors in this way. Zhipiren of the Zen Academy is even more dishonest. He has always been an alcoholic, and his alcohol quality is notoriously bad.

Not long after, she was surrounded by a large group of conjurers who came to "consult". From the outer circle surrounded by layers of crowd, she could only vaguely see a little curled up hair.Shi Er waited not far away for a while, convinced that she would not be able to "successfully break through" within half a day, and decided to follow the other party's suggestion, wandering around to kill time.

The guy driving was one of the sorcerers he beat up this morning.

"There are apple orchards around here that you can pick. If you want to go to the city, it is said that the Art University is holding an exhibition of works at the end of the semester..."

The driver wore a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. If he didn't hold a weapon, he even looked bookish. Compared with a conjurer, he felt more like he was studying in a university, or a new employee in a certain company.

"Is there a racetrack?"

Shi Er interrupted the other party's introduction.

"what……?"

"The racetrack, that's the kind of place where races—"

Shi Er said: "You can also buy horse tickets, the kind where there are many spectators watching the race..."

"...you don't need to describe it in such detail, I know where it is."

If it is in Hokkaido, large and small racecourses are common like mushrooms after rain, but the atmosphere in Aomori is much weaker in this regard.Obviously, he doesn't have much love for this field, but just uses it as a way of gambling-it is not much different from double six, craps, and steel ball games in the game hall.

The car stopped on the side of the road, Shi Er just opened the car door, and the conjurer who brought him here said in a somewhat displeased tone: "Really, although you are very strong... I don't understand why the last mirror The adults will choose you."

"Ha, didn't you guys say you'd never question her decisions?"

"Of course I won't!"

The other party snapped back and said: "I believe that Master Jing's power will always point in the right direction! But—"

Conscience of heaven and earth, when he said this, this impatient conjurer just wanted to condemn Shi Er's behavior of going straight to the casino. That's another matter.

But the information received by the other party was not the same at all - his life experience in the Chanyuan family made him quickly misinterpret the content in his most common form.

"what?"

Shi Er smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "As long as you understand a little bit about her situation in the Chanyuan family, you will know why she chose me...it's very simple, because there is no other better way."

He took a step forward, his height advantage cast a small shadow, his eyes were facing the top of the man's head, and he continued to speak.

"As long as you are willing to understand a little bit more, you will know that that guy was forced to set up a bondage that cannot harm the members of the Chanyuan family. You have to entrust others to gamble to make enough money for you to build the hospital; you only know that according to Her actions will definitely make everything better, but sending a child in his early ten years to Kyoto for six years, and being made things difficult on the first day, is this the way you trust?"

...Ah, it's all said.

He must look quite scary now, because the conjurer opposite was completely speechless, the blood color on his face faded at first, and then his cheeks blushed slowly and little by little.

Shi Er only felt annoyed after he got angry. Maybe that person didn't mind this setback in life at all, or he thought it was good to be trusted by others as a conjurer.In the end, he couldn't afford to worry about other people's lives. Everyone was pushed forward by fate.

The racetrack was full of voices.

Shi Er was holding a glass of Coke, surrounded by lively crowds.In fact, this kind of local competition is far less exciting than large-scale competitions such as the Japanese Derby, the Emperor Award and the Chrysanthemum Award.It's just that the low-profile game will not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience, and everyone is still watching enthusiastically in the simple auditorium.

He tried to buy a few bets, and as in the past, no matter whether he bought a single win or a winning streak, he didn't make a single bet.

So fate won't show favor for a moment... Shi Er thought boredly, he touched his pocket, and before he knew it, the money he brought before had been completely gambled away.

Ha, according to God's curse, hasn't the world already cursed?

……

At this moment, someone in the back row reached out and put a [-]-yen coin on his horse coupon.

"buy this."

said the voice.

He turned back in astonishment: "Didn't you say that you have something to do today—"

"Because someone said something very strange, the magician who came back looked super embarrassed. After asking, he hurriedly finished all the work and rushed over."

Ah Jing replied, her hair swaying in the setting sun, and she looked at him with those strange-colored pupils that were difficult to ignore.

"Sorry, I said extra words, you can laugh if you want."

He waited for the other party's answer. If he knew that he was treated that way, would he feel offended?Maybe he will lose his temper... But it is true that he has never seen this person lose his temper before.

He waited, as if the crowded racetrack had quieted down, the whole world was silent, only the voice from in front of him remained.

"—I'm very happy."

The other party said.

"It's the first time someone has said these things since I was born. I can't help but feel that even if I have to face a lot of bad troubles in the future, with Shire's help, I can work harder."

Those eyes were almost shining, and his attitude was so sincere that he didn't look like a conjurer.

"……Hey?"

It was as if in an instant, the quiet surrounding suddenly boiled up again, the audience raised their hands and cheered loudly around him, and standing in the middle of the tsunami of cheers, he also had the urge to get involved in it for no reason from the bottom of his heart .

"So, buy this one."

Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, Ah Jing stretched out his index finger and tapped the coin on the horse coupon: "Today, I'll win until I get all the money I just lost. This level is still bound." allowed range."

He took the coin from the opponent's hand in a daze, the round corners were stuck in the palm of his hand, and the strength of his grip seemed to break the coin.Sure enough, this time he won the first place bet, and then it was like a snowball. It didn't take long, and the money lost in the whole day's gambling was quickly lost and recovered.

——It doesn’t matter if you are not favored by the gods, and it doesn’t matter if you are cursed by the world. The heart starts beating again, and hot blood pours into the limbs and bones.

That was guiding ahead, his destiny.

On the way back, Ah Jing was sitting in the back of the car playing with her mobile phone.The previous post on the forum has now been responded to. Two respondents said that they can complete the front-end and back-end design of the website. completed.

"...If you are really "that one", you should be able to understand our sincerity. "

The person who received the reward left her a message like this.

Ah Jing covered one eye, "looked" for a few seconds, responded to the contact information sent by the other party, and communicated via private message: "Are you unwilling to contact the magician?"

"——It was just to escape that kind of life, so I randomly took jobs online."

The man returned in seconds.

"Is it because you don't want to submit to the magic world?"

"In their eyes, people like us who have no family background are at best consumables that can be discarded at any time——if it's you, maybe you can't understand it."

"...I can completely understand, but if there is a new place with a fair salary, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the magic world, would you be willing to come? After all, if you are a curse master, the probability of being killed by the magic world is quite high. If you want to find a place to settle down, I can help introduce reliable jobs."

There was silence on the screen.

Ah Jing did not eagerly wait for the other party's answer. She stretched out on the car in a stretched figure, like a fisherman who had just cast bait, waiting for the wisher to take the bait.Shi Er glanced at her phone, his excellent and ordinary eyesight allowed him to grasp the key points at a glance.He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if something invisible grabbed his windpipe: "Do you treat everyone like this?"

"what?"

"Your invitation just now, if they agree, it will completely change the lives of these two guys."

"It's not the first time something like this has happened," Scheer said.

For example, suggesting that Zenyuan Naoya go to a college to study, such as communication with the governor of Dao, or the black cat that recklessly broke into the courtyard on that cold rainy night.

"Will Shir find this arrogant?"

"...That's not the case."

"That is?"

"It's just a sudden curiosity, nothing."

He turned his head and stared at the scenery that swept back quickly outside the car window.
