Chapter 1 The Wizarding World

Bang, bang, bang, there was a loud knock on the heavy door.

In the thatched hut, Green, who was sleeping peacefully under the old quilt, was awakened instantly. The cold numbness under his feet made him gasp, but Green didn't dare to delay, and shouted: "Here we come."

Regardless of his feet that were almost frozen and unconscious, Green quickly put on his old clothes, picked up the leather jacket covered by the old quilt as a second quilt, and opened the wooden door.

When the cold winter wind blew, mixed with ice slag, Green's irritated body shook.

Outside the door, Old Ham curled up on the dilapidated wooden carriage, smashing it with a whip in one hand and a cigarette pouch in the other. The carriage left two tracks in the potholed snow.

"Hurry up, the road is not good today, and you will be punished if you are late."

Old Ham slammed a mouthful of the pipe, and then muttered to Green.

"Oh, I see."

Green closed the wooden door and got into the carriage swiftly. He was used to everything. Ever since he took on this stable job with Uncle Ham, Green would hear him chanting every day.

Ham didn't have much to say. After smashing a cigarette pipe at last, he swung his whip fiercely. The old horse grunted and continued to pull the carriage forward in the potholed snow.

Green, on the other hand, leaned against the guardrail of the broken carriage, looked at the dark sky, and continued to close his eyes to take a nap. According to past experience, it would take at least half an hourglass for the old carriage to reach the Viscount's mansion in the city in this snowy day. It was almost dawn by then.

Leaning on the carriage, Green smelled the familiar smell of dry tobacco, and was very grateful to Old Ham from the bottom of his heart.

Green's first and most primitive memory was a winter with goose feathers and heavy snow. The previous memory was dark, and no one had seen Green, as if he popped out of nowhere from this world.

Since then, Green has often wandered around Bissel City with a group of orphans, living a begging life without enough food, until one day the old and childless Ham saw Green quite excited, thinking that he had no children under his knees, he put Green took it back.

Old Ham laughed and said, "I'm dead, these two huts and the old horse are yours now."

To be honest, the two country huts and the old carriage are not worth much, but Green is full of gratitude to Old Ham and regards them as reborn parents.

As for Old Ham and Green’s livelihood, they rushed to the Viscount’s Mansion in Bissel City every morning before dawn, cleaned up the large pieces of rubbish left after the carnival of the high-ranking nobles and lords, and sent them outside the city. Clean it up, then go to the Viscount Land to stock up on all the supplies for the next night's carnival.

This time, back and forth, almost half a day passed.

After half an hourglass time, there was a click, the road surface began to slip, and the ground was paved with stones.

Green, who was dozing off in the carriage, woke up naturally without Old Ham's warning. Knowing that he had arrived in Bissel City and was about to arrive at the Viscount's Mansion, he hurriedly swept the snow off his body in order to tidy up his appearance.

Although it is often said that when Green and Old Ham arrive at the Viscount's Mansion every day, most of the nobles in the city who had a carnival night in the Viscount's Mansion have already dispersed. At the glance of a lowly servant, appearances are of no use at all.

But the old butler of the Viscount's mansion was a difficult character. He always made things difficult for Green's miscellaneous servants, waiting to get some benefits. He had used such a poor excuse of poor appearance more than once to blackmail Old Ham's silver coins.

The two tall knight guards at the gate of the Viscount's mansion were already exhausted after a night of guarding. They glanced at Old Ham and Green, who had become too familiar with each other for several years, and ignored them.

Old Ham smiled apologetically, while Green jumped out of the carriage and entered the Viscount's Mansion with his head down. He didn't dare to look more, and went straight to the luxurious hall that had to be carefully cleaned every day.

Green and Old Ham, who were originally listless, suddenly felt that the atmosphere today seemed different. They saw the old butler at the entrance of the hall with a gloomy face and a pair of fierce triangular eyes staring at Green and Old Ham. around people.

The old housekeeper shouted in a low voice: "Stay here, plug your ears and close your eyes."

"Yes Yes."

Green and Old Ham hurriedly responded.

There was a faint noise coming from the main hall. Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I could vaguely tell that it was a girl who was making a scene.

Instinctively, Green and Old Ham knew that this should be a big shot.

After waiting for nearly an hourglass time, the sky was already completely bright, and Green and Old Ham were so cold that they stomped and shivered in the snow.

The old butler who was waiting at the entrance of the hall came over with a gloomy face, and said in a low voice, "If you can't stand the cold, you won't be able to use it tomorrow."

Green and Old Ham's expressions changed. After struggling a few times, Old Ham took out a silver coin from his rags and stuffed it into the hands of the old housekeeper. He laughed and said, "I can bear it, I can bear it."

"snort."

The old butler skillfully stuffed the silver coins into his pocket, ignored the two of them, and waited anxiously at the entrance of the hall, looking inside from time to time.

Green couldn't help but whispered: "Damn it, I just took advantage from us a few days ago, and now I want it again!"

"Hey, forget it, bear with it, there are a lot of people who want to do our job, and the old housekeeper is eager for us to go."

Old Ham sighed.

When people are old and are about to enter the soil, they will look away, and they will no longer be as hot-tempered as young people.

At this moment, a girl rushed out of the hall, wearing luxurious noble clothes, her delicate face was covered with tears, ran to Green and Old Ham, stopped, and shouted into the hall.

"I will not go to Lilith Cottage Wizard Academy, let alone become a wizard!"

After finishing speaking, the girl seemed still angry, took out a book and threw it out, and strode out of the Viscount's mansion.

"It's reversed! It's reversed! Why are you two still in a daze? Why don't you give me a quick chase?"

A paunchy nobleman blushed with anger, and roared at the two armored knights beside him.

However, what Green couldn't believe was that the Viscount, who was usually high above him, was full of helplessness at this time, standing next to the pregnant nobleman with an apologetic smile, and whispered something.

"Hmph, what does she know? The great wizard is the ruler of this world. Do you know what I paid for the test half a year later?"

In a hurry, Lord Viscount followed the pregnant nobleman and left the Viscount's mansion without looking at Green and Old Ham.

As for the old butler, he followed out in the same hurry, took away the two guards before leaving, and disappeared into the snow.

In a blink of an eye, the yard became empty and there was no sound.

Seeing that there was no one around, Green instinctively wanted to pick up the book on the ground in front of him, but Old Ham stepped up, knocked Green's hand with the pipe, and shouted: "Don't die?"

Green grinned in pain, and said in a low voice: "It should be all right? If someone asks, we'll just say that we cleaned up the trash and threw it away. Anyway, it was thrown on the ground by the noble lady just now."

Old Ham thought for a while, then looked up to see that there was no one around, then nodded, acquiescing to Green.

Green put the books into his clothes, and followed Old Ham to clean the hall as if nothing had happened. The huge amount of garbage left in the hall after the noble lord's night of carnival was swept into the carriage.

Until before leaving, no one asked about the whereabouts of the book, and Green didn't care.

After all, in the past, there were often some treasures mixed in the garbage that the nobles didn't like, but the servants were very happy about.

creak creak...

The carriage full of garbage slowly left the city of Bissel.

Sitting on the carriage loaded with a load of garbage, Green didn't feel sleepy anymore. He suddenly thought of something and took out the book he picked up from his arms.

Frowning, servants like Green who work for noble lords are generally illiterate, but it is because Old Ham once worked as an accounting apprentice for a shop when he was young. Although the shop was closed later, he also learned to read. In order to read, I taught Green in the past few years.

However, the reason why Green frowned was because the handwriting on the cover of this book is not commonly used in daily life, and it is some unfamiliar words.

After thinking for a long time, Green recognized these words.

""Nose Hunting Modification and Smell Atlas"? What is this?"

Green stared, thinking it was a biographical novel of a bard, which is also the favorite book of those noble ladies and sons, but he did not expect that the noble lady threw a book with such a strange name just now.

etc!

Green suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, full of disbelief!

Could this be a book written by wizards to record mysterious magic and witchcraft?

Wizards have always been a topic that only nobles are qualified to talk about. Ordinary people will never even see a mysterious wizard once in their entire life.

In the eyes of ordinary people, wizards master mysterious witchcraft, which is full of evil and mystery. There are often stories about wizards massacring civilians, eating children's eyes, and taking ordinary people to do evil witchcraft experiments.

But because these wizards can easily kill civilians and even knights, and master extraordinary power, their greatness is awe-inspiring.

Even Green has fantasized more than once, what do those mysterious and great wizards rely on to master those mysterious and great powers, why can't ordinary people master them?

If I become a wizard and master those mysterious and great powers, I don't need to look at the faces of those nobles anymore, right?

With an incredulous look on his face, Green quickly flipped through the book "Nose Hunting Modification and Odor Atlas" that he had just obtained, and began to read word by word. Sometimes when encountering unfamiliar words, he had to think carefully or even skip temporarily .

Slowly, a shock began to appear on Green's face, as if a whole new door to the world had opened!

The so-called smell is to distinguish the volatile molecules of different substances in the air through the biological olfactory system. The most irritating odor occupies half of the biological sense of smell.

According to the "Odor Atlas", normal humans can distinguish about 300 to 400 kinds of smells, and occasionally some people with special functions can distinguish about 600 kinds of smells.

But this kind of smell discrimination is pitifully low compared to some other creatures!

For example, the baby crowing chicken, a creature that can cry like a human baby, according to experiments, this creature can distinguish at least 6,500 kinds of odors.

Another example is Yindie, a magical creature that can only survive by collecting odors, and can distinguish more than 8,200 kinds of odors...

It is mentioned in the book that the creature known to capture the most scents in the air is called the three-headed dog. This is a powerful creature that many wizards dare not provoke. 17852 species.

The three-headed dog's sense of smell has reached an incredible level!

"Nose Hunting Transformation" is a witchcraft knowledge book about wizards transforming themselves like certain creatures with a sensitive sense of smell according to their physical conditions, so as to achieve the perfect evolution of the sense of smell.

Among them, magic and witchcraft experiments involved many strange materials, and so far Green has not figured out the word that appears most in books, cell?

"Green, Green!"

After Old Ham yelled twice, Green recovered from the wonder of the magic book, hurriedly put away the magic book, and helped Old Ham start dumping the garbage on the carriage.

After dumping all the rubbish on the carriage, Green followed Old Ham to purchase the goods from the Viscount's territory according to the old practice, for the consumption of those noble gentlemen tonight.

It was not until evening that Old Ham and Green transported all the goods to the Viscount's Mansion in the city, and then rushed back to the countryside with a dozen copper coins. ".

Old Ham glanced back at Green, sighed and said, "You child, you are really obsessed today. Is this book so good?"

Green smiled and didn't say much, but he was full of yearning and shock for this mysterious world of wizards.

Are there really moving mountain life in the world?

A river flowing from the sky?

And what happened to those so-called foreign worlds?

What is the principle of wizards mastering powerful magic witchcraft?

A series of questions came to Green's mind, but no one could answer them.

"Hey, you're seventeen in a blink of an eye, right? Well, I'll renovate the house next year and see if I can find a girl from a suitable family nearby to be your wife. I hope I can take a look at myself before I bury my old bones." grandson."

Old Ham muttered.

Green muttered casually without raising his head: "What are you talking about? Your old man lives to be a hundred years old."

"hehe……"

Old Ham smiled and continued to drive the carriage back to the familiar road.
