Chapter 26 What's wrong baby?
The village head, Yujia, imagined many kinds of answers from the wizard in his mind, including good and bad, and even made the worst plan: If the wizard is not willing to accept these "gifts" they gathered together, instead of asking If he took away a few children, he had already thought of the candidates.
There are several families in the village with two or three-year-old children, and the chances of these children growing up are not high, and they are very likely to starve to death before the age of five, so if the wizard must take away some children, Yujia will It is suggested that the wizard should take some of the children he had chosen with him.
Yesterday he spent an evening running around the village, collecting "gifts" is one thing, convincing parents with children under the age of five in their families to let them "contribute" their children as a last resort, and also one thing.
Thanks to his efforts, the other children in the village have been well hidden in the storage rooms of the villagers' respective homes, and none of them showed up to the wizard. They should be safe.
The best idea Yujia ever made was that the wizard accepted the "gifts" they collected together without saying a word, and then left their village immediately.
But the wizard didn't want the presents they had gathered, and just took away a trivial cat.
What is a cat?
Especially Yujia has recognized that this cat is the wild cat that often steals the chickens raised in his backyard.
Originally, he thought that if the cat came to steal chickens again, he would ask some villagers to be his helpers and beat it to death.
Now the wizard actually only needs a cat and nothing else?
You Jia was so excited that he couldn't believe it. He carefully glanced at the wizard and found that the other party was not joking.
Very good!
The wizard was impatient to talk to him, he put the cat in his arms on a chair beside him, and walked into the room where the petrified chicken carcass was placed, not knowing what to do.
"It seems that your previous chicken was not in vain."
You Jia sighed with emotion, he looked at the big wild cat squatting on the wooden chair, and looked at it carefully for a while, but he didn't see what was so good about this wild cat.
There are black spots on the brown and yellow fur, and the whole cat looks big and fierce.
You can tell it's a bad cat just by looking at it.
You Jia, who has dealt with tax officials all the year round, looked at the closed door, then at the wild cat in front of her who couldn't pick out any good points, thought for a while, and walked out.
As soon as the village chief went out, he was surrounded by restless villagers.
"How is it? What did the wizard say?"
"He didn't say he must have a child, did he?"
"Does the wizard think that we don't give enough?"
Youjia looked at the worried villagers around him, took a deep breath, and said with joy, "Master Wizard doesn't want our things, he doesn't want children, he wants a cat!"
There was a moment of silence all around.
"...Yujia, are you joking?"
After a while, Jim asked incredulously, "Just a cat? Nothing else?"
You Jiaqing coughed a few times, "Why should I lie to you?"
Before the other villagers cheered, Yujia said, "Now go and take all your things home, and then..."
He named the names of several villagers, "If I remember correctly, there should be cats in your house, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Those who were named by the village head nodded hurriedly.
They raise cats to catch mice, and they don’t usually feed the cats. They just use straw to make a nest for the cats to sleep in, which is easier than raising dogs.
"Since the wizard only wants cats, we'll give him some more."
Yu Jia said: "Anyway, it won't make a mistake to give a few more cats, so hurry up and bring the cats here."
One of them said happily: "I also said why my female cat suddenly gave birth to a pure white cat. We are not nobles. So it saw today. No wonder cats can psychic!"
Xie Yi rigorously extracted all the parts that could be extracted from the petrified chicken.
Some of these materials can be used in alchemy, and some can be used to make potions.
Xie Yi put them all into the space ring.
Then he wiped his hands, opened the door and went out.
Standing outside was the previous village head, who seemed to have been waiting for Xie Yi for a while.
"My lord wizard."
The village chief also carried a basket in his hand, Xie Yi glanced at it casually, and couldn't take his eyes off immediately.
Inside the basket is a solid white kitten kitten!Looks like he's still sleeping.
So cute!
He asked the village chief coldly: "What is this?"
I thought to myself: This must be for me!
Definitely is!
The village head smiled awkwardly: "Master Wizard, this is our little wish."
Originally, he wanted the villagers to bring all the cats in the house, but now it is daytime, those cats don’t know where to go, and they can’t be found. Occasionally, I saw a few and they ran fast, and they couldn’t catch them at all. Cats are not relatives.
All that's left is this one-month-old kitten.
Originally there were three of them, but the other two died for some unknown reason, and only this pure white one was left, which was rare. They fed some goat milk and managed to survive.
I thought about keeping this white cat and giving it to the baron's wife when the next tax collector collected taxes. Maybe she would be happy and she could reduce their village's tax a bit.
Now it just happened to be given to the wizard.
Xie Yi couldn't wait to take the basket from the village chief's hand.
——No wonder he can be the head of the village.
This gift was delivered to his heart.
It may be because their voices woke up the little cat. The milk cat, which had shrunk into a small snow ball, opened its eyes and gave a delicate "meow".
Xie Yi took a deep breath, and continued to maintain an indifferent expression: "Very good, I like it very much."
Now, he is a successful man with two cats!
Jacob and Little Jon had prepared the carriage and were waiting for him outside.
Xie Yi picked up the big cat that was squatting silently on the wooden chair with one hand, and carried the basket containing the little milk cat with the other hand. He was proud of the spring breeze, hugged left and right and got into the car.
Before little Jon was about to drive away in the carriage, Xie Yi suddenly remembered the plant growth-promoting potion he had made in the palace.
Anyway, these potions are not very useful for him to keep, and he can just make them when needed.
He took out the plant growth-stimulating potion he made from the space ring, opened the curtain, and said to the village chief who was waiting beside the carriage to watch him leave: "Wizards pay attention to equal exchange."
He handed the potion in his hand to the village chief: "These potions are the price I paid for that white cat. They can make plants grow quickly."
After finishing speaking, he added: "You can dilute them with a jar of clean water, and a plant can mature in 10 minutes with only one drop.
Yes, the effect of this plant growth potion can be called heaven-defying.
Of course, it is only used to grow plants without magic power. If it is used to grow plants with magic power, it will not be so fast.
After speaking, under his signal, Jacob knocked on the roof of the carriage, and Little Jon drove the carriage away from the village.
Jacob nervously guarded his three pet mice, and stared at the big cat squatting next to Shay without blinking.
He felt that the big cat must have malicious intentions and stared at his cute mouse.
He moved the mouse cage to the left, and the cat's eyes moved to the left; he moved the mouse cage to the right, and the cat's eyes also moved to the right.
Jacob thought he could see the watering in the cat's eyes.
Bad intentions!This cat must be up to no good!
bad cat!Definitely a bad cat!
Jacob hid the mouse cage behind his back, firmly blocking it.
The way back to the wizard tower was very smooth. Although there were wolves on the way, Jacob got out of the car very consciously and solved it without Xie Yi asking.Xie Yi was not allowed to make a move.
It is not very different from Xie Yi's imagination, the wizard tower is a tall cylindrical tower.
The tower is divided into upper and lower parts. The lower part is inhabited by a group of people called wizard apprentices who are actually cannon fodder. They are also responsible for the daily maintenance of the wizard tower.
The upper part is where the wizard and his real apprentices live. It is divided into three floors. The first floor is the living place of the wizard.
Through the method recorded in memory, Xie Yi arranged for Jacob to live on the third floor of the upper part, and Jon was put on the lower floor to live with other wizard apprentices
——Anyway, none of the original apprentices were confiscated, and the upper part of the tower was empty.
After roughly settling everything, Xie Yi's rationality told him that he should now go through the list of all wizard apprentices in the tower, and then roughly classify those wizard apprentices to judge which ones are worthy of training as a team and which ones should be released as soon as possible.
He himself shouldn't waste time, it's better to read the handbook left by his mentor, learn more witchcraft, and improve his strength.
however……
He glanced at the big cat squatting quietly on the mat, and the small white kitten curled up on another plush mat
Work, what do you do?
Today's time is more than half, and work hard to start tomorrow.
Sexitus kept quiet all the time, his original intention was to observe the wizard at close range.
Originally, he thought that if the wizard really liked this cat, he would need to do something to please the wizard. Now that he had another cat, the wizard would definitely like that cat more.
The job of pleasing the wizard is done by the cat, and he can observe the wizard more conveniently.
He clearly felt that the wizard who returned to his wizard tower seemed more relaxed. The wizard stood in the middle of the living room for a while, and then walked towards him and another cat.
Sexitus jumped off the mat and landed on the carpet farther away.
So as not to disturb the wizard's interaction with the cat.
After all, his cat's body was not good-looking, and its coat color was impure. Instead of making the wizard unhappy by comparing it with that white cat, it was better to leave early.
However, what he didn't expect was that the wizard walked straight towards him.
Xie Yi bent down to pick up the big cat, and gently stroked the big cat's head, "What's the matter baby? Are you jealous?"
He sat down, put the big cat on his lap, and gently scratched the cat's chin: "Don't be angry with me, okay? You will always be my favorite baby, huh?"
Sexitus: "..."
He put his chin into the wizard's hand and thought calmly:
...Perhaps, it would be better for him to observe the wizard if he kept the wizard's interest in him.
