Chapter 1,319 An Incongruous Interlude

,!

In spring, there are occasional showers.

A person who worked hard and tried every means to be lazy was looking at the gloomy weather outside, with the rain threatening to stop, wasting a good life.

A while ago, I was openly working on bank matters. When I have a little free time, I go to the subdimensional tower to do research with the Haggiris. Later, another Finn went to the subdimensional tower, and there was even less free time.

During this period of time, bank matters can be pushed back as much as possible. After all, the places that have been promoted are on track, and everyone can operate very well without the need for a certain time traveler to keep an eye on it.

As for other research, I am no longer a young man. There is no pressure from exams, and no one is pushing me from behind. I naturally do it when I feel like it and stop when it becomes boring. It is quite similar to what Tao Yuanming said in the biography of Mr. Wu Liu: He is good at reading and does not ask for deep explanations. He happily forgets to eat every time he understands something.

But to be honest, someone is not really 'good at reading', but is just too damn boring! If you don’t do magic research on weekdays, there will be no other entertainment! This fucking world!

You can't just idle around all day and just work on women's bellies and drinks. So a certain time traveler who was originally a fat otaku clan was forced to become a member of Haoshudu. All I did to pass the time was study magic, dreaming of going home soon, or just being in a daze.

No wonder so many of our time-traveling predecessors went back to ancient times or to different worlds, they just quarreled with heaven and earth, and spent all day trying to dominate. This is really free time. If you don't find something to do, you won't bore yourself to death. So we can only develop wildly.

Now is the time when someone is in a daze. Regardless of whether that deep expression is full of brilliant wisdom or full of philosophical light in the eyes of others, someone is just in a daze and has nothing to say.

Such an expression can still deceive the young men and girls who have just come to this family, but it cannot deceive the two apprentices who have been with him for the longest time, and the original lich. As time went by, everyone understood what was going on, and it was just that, so they naturally became accustomed to it.

Seeing the light outside the window gradually dimming, my stomach made a growling sound, and it seemed that it was time to eat. Someone thought so.

In the past, there were no rules for eating. I just ate when I was hungry. But since Marquis Balan brought a group of servants, there have been more rules for eating.

However, these people did not dare to take care of two vicious magicians. The previous deacon who wanted to establish rules in this family was sent back to the Carvey family, and a new deacon came over. Another group of black gauze soldiers who wanted to establish rules. Several died, and the rest fled. The first authority in this family is the former Demon King, and the second is the male master of the family. The black dragon Augustus is not ranked high.

So the rules for eating here are just to facilitate the people in the kitchen. Start preparing at about the same time, start eating at a fixed time, clear the table after finishing the meal, and that's it.

If they are hungry at other times, they can still ask the kitchen to make something to eat, but they dare not complain in person. But it is inevitable to say a few words behind their backs and disturb their rest. The so-called employees and loyalty are the same thing no matter where they are. Of course they will do things that are within their duties, but things that are outside their duties and which things are outside their duties need to be discussed.

There are rules at home, and of course the hundreds of children under supervision also have rules. However, this rule is quite simple. It is to eat at a certain time, go to bed at a certain time, study in the morning, and do not fight with grudges. There are only four major rules. In addition, someone's attitude towards this group of children is that of letting go.

Anyway, these children come from the streets and can survive in such a place and have the ability to take care of themselves. Lin just needs to ensure that they won't argue with each other.

Studying only takes half a day. It was up to them to decide who they wanted to ask for additional advice in the afternoon. Of course, it also depends on whether the person they are asking for advice has time and is willing to teach them.

For the same reason, it would be too difficult for a group of street kids to spend an entire day studying. Some people know how to take initiative, some people are suitable for being forced, but some people are not suitable for learning. Not to mention militarized management and education.

Think about the fate of someone who deliberately carried out militarized management in the Southwest Peninsula in the past, only to be betrayed by the children he devoted himself to educating. If something like this happens once, it will be discouraging, and of course you won’t want to try it a second time.

So someone's attitude towards this group of children is really casual and not caring at all. Just treat it as a casual investment, and don't care what the final result is.

Even though they have a free-wheeling attitude, they still have a clear schedule for eating and sleeping. After a few times, you can reasonably think that the other person is not suitable to stay here, or simply does not like to stay here.

Leave resources to the right people, not those who occupy the manhole and do nothing. Other children also agree with this attitude and will not help that kind of person cover up. These children also have the most basic gratitude.

It's just that at this point in time, when the group of children who went out to wander around should have returned, there are still a group of people who haven't arrived. If it were someone else, maybe the eldest child who took care of this group of children on a part-time basis could just register. But if there was Ezio among these children who didn't come back, things would be different.

Although he was not in a panic, Sha Sha, who was responsible for someone's daily chores, still brought an older child to find Lin. There are two most authoritative magicians in this family, and the other one never cares about anything, even if the sky falls. Therefore, Ezio's disappearance could only be reported to Lin.

Lao Long was ignored by everyone. In this family, the old black dragon is more like a mascot than the four magic cats. All day long, he boasted that he had killed hundreds of brave men and single-handedly fought dozens of armies. It seemed that as long as it spread its wings, it would turn into a sea of ​​blood wherever it went.

Lin, who had just come out of his daze, was both surprised and not too surprised by the news that Ezio was missing again. After all, this guy has several criminal records and even ran away from home.

If someone else is missing, Lin may have some trouble finding them. For that bastard who dared to take one of his rings, finding him was just a matter of thought. So Lin didn't even need to pinch his fingers to calculate. He just focused on the one ring on his index finger, and his expression suddenly became very strange.

The children in front of them thought they had done something wrong for a moment, but then they also heard a cry of children. Feelings say this is the return of the boy who was just reported missing? No wonder this elder's expression is so dramatic.

As expected, Ezio did not return to the mansion where the children lived. He took several children about his age and ran directly into the main mansion, found a certain magician, and cried: "Sir, sir, Marlene has fallen to the bottom. We can't find her."

Finally, they knew not to cry so loudly that it upset someone in front of someone, so a group of children held back and just sniffed and sobbed softly. The children were also extremely dirty, not only stained with dust, but also with dead branches and leaves stuck on their clothes.

I don’t know if they were crying so much that they didn’t notice the mess they were in, or if they were pretending to be pitiful on purpose. Lin thought so. It's just that this bastard Ezio mentioned, "Marin has hit rock bottom". What happened?

Earlier.

The study in the morning came to an end, and at noon, I followed the custom of a certain traveler and had lunch. Afternoon is a happy time for children.

Unlike a time traveler who was poisoned by video games and had a picky taste, who complained that there was no entertainment in the land, the children in the land had very simple fun. Run to the stream to catch fish, go into the fields to catch frogs and snakes, go into the haystack to catch beetles, or go to the outskirts of the forest to catch big beetles. As for pulling the whiskers of kittens and chasing dogs, there is not much to say. Speaking of which, it's all about bullying small animals and insects.

As for the degree of danger, in the forest close to the holy city of Estali, valuable monsters have been brushed by magicians and magic apprentices for a long time, until they dare not approach the outer areas. So even if children are active nearby, it is theoretically quite safe. But it does not rule out that some children seek death, but no one can stop them.

Of course, children will not gather in large groups during this kind of free time. Instead, two or three people of similar gender gathered together into small groups. Some more serious children will find their own teachers to create a niche for themselves based on their own interests or the wishes of a small group.

Ezio got together with several equally naughty children. On weekdays, I don't dare to cause trouble at home, because the two authorities at home really dare to beat people, including children. So they often run wild in the wild in the name of exercise; or they just pick up branches and sticks and beat them around in the name of martial arts. Then make yourself dirty.

I remember someone once used parkour techniques to put a group of children in the middle of a long-distance race. Naturally, he was clever and asked the gray cat Hardy, who was responsible for monitoring whether someone used magic during the process, about someone's route and method.

Therefore, learning someone to practice balance and climbing up and down various terrains is also what a group of naughty children headed by Ezio do most often. And how fast it can reach places that others cannot reach has become the focus of this group of children's competition.

However, what happened today was something these children never thought about.

Because Lin is a migrant from the holy city of Estali and wants to live in a big house, the location of his home is quite marginal. If you walk a few steps, it will be in the suburbs. This also makes it convenient for the children. If they want to run wild, they don't have to run into the city. They can also go to unattended places in the suburbs and have more fun.

On this day, Ezio and his friends were running wildly in the wilderness as usual. Behind them was a little follower, struggling to chase the crazy kid in front.

This group of children went crazy, and the gray cat Hardy taught them how to see and listen in all directions. Of course Ezio and the others knew that someone was following them, but no one stopped to wait.

Lin prohibits bullying. Anyway, the Haggiri clan is in control. Who is right and who is wrong? Someone directly uses a mind-reader. But it is difficult to stop cold violence among small groups that excludes others. Is it wrong not to play with someone because you don't like them?
