All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 341 The career of bees

During the days when she was staying overnight, Mia always came to see Linde whenever she had free time, but don't think that she could occupy a lot of the magician's time. In fact, it only lasted about half an hour a day at most. This was all a farmer's daughter had. leisure.

She needed to help her mother start a small business, making syrup from malt and grapes, mixed with chopped dried gooseberries, and then pouring it into the shape of small animals, stringing them together with thin birch sticks and inserting them into a piece of cork with holes. superior. Selling candies on the street during the day has a lot of traffic in the summer, so you can make more money, which naturally means more hard work.

The business is good and can be sold out in one morning, and during the period, I can chat with my girlfriend for a few leisurely days to replenish my energy for socializing.When I came back, I had to clean up the house, wash and make the bed, sweep the floor, take care of the poultry, chat with my grandmother, and find time to read and study.Doing one thing at a time, although they are all trivial things in daily life, is very exhausting.

The routine of the day is almost like a dream, and the sun will go down in the blink of an eye.Warlock Linde came back every day when the sun went down.

Mia uses a red-hot needle to pick out the blisters on her hands, and then smears them with herbal juice, which is said to prevent scars.She tidied herself up and came to bother Linde. When she knocked on the door, a voice would come from inside: "Wait a moment."

The door was opened by an invisible servant, quieter than a gust of wind, and the master of the room greeted him in the corner.

"Come in without closing the door."

The first thing visitors see is the complex magic circle on the ground.Linde has never concealed anything about this magic circle. Anyone who asks, he can tell the truth: This is a formation that attracts artifacts from distant countries.

Mia didn't understand magic, but she could tell that there were silver shavings and gold powder in the materials used to depict the magic circle. It was just left on the ground, as if it wasn't afraid of being stolen at all. The magic circle is improving day by day. For this precious metal, Linde has to work several jobs alone.

On the second day after coming to Dagger Beach, Linde led a militia team to clear out the orc lairs entrenched nearby without any casualties.He took the orc's head in exchange for a bounty, half of it was used to purchase magic materials, the other half was used to drink and eat, and the rest of the money was used to purchase stationery and teaching aids for his newly-built lecture hall.

Mia is very curious about Linde's attitude towards life. In the stable, serious, and enthusiastic agricultural town, everyone is trying to maintain the status quo of life, whether it is farmers, craftsmen, militiamen, guild merchants, or the duchess.Outsiders tend to be restless and exaggerated, spend money lavishly, and only care about the present without thinking about the future.

Linde is different from everyone in Daggerford, and he is not even similar to all adventurers. His uniqueness is reflected in a kind of proud frankness. Anyone can ask him any question, and he will hardly avoid the easy answers, but directly give his own answers.

Mia sat neatly on the chair in the corner, watching Lind bend down, silver dust falling from his fingers, and drawing complicated runes and patterns on the ground.

The magician's movements were smooth and smooth, and the drawing of the magic circle was nearing completion.

"Are you worried about me?" Linde paused his work, clapped his hands, and dusted off a few grains of silver powder. Mia knew that her grandmother would secretly collect the dirty water used by guests for washing every day, just like a gold digger, which made her feel ashamed and guilty.

"Mr. de Lin, do you think I am suitable to be a businessman?"

"That's not what you want to ask. The reason why you study business is to get rid of the life you have now. Dagger Bank is too small to retain the soul of young people."

Mia smelled of syrup and gooseberries, and her face was as lovely as a mouthful of pudding, "Then can you take me away? I am willing to go anywhere with you."

Linde found it interesting, but also sad at the same time. Girls from poor families were so easy to deceive. Even if they thought they were smart, they dared to put all their wealth up when they saw a little hope. There are many girls like this in the hourly hotels in Waterdeep Docklands.

"I only take in good students." That's what the magician said.

"Then am I a good student?"

"It's half." Linde said with a smile in his eyes, "You haven't made up your mind to give up your current life. Although Dagger Beach is poor and boring, life here is quite stable."

"Sir, what is life?"

"Life is an illusion. Many people can see yesterday, tomorrow, and even the more distant future. For example, you grow up, get married and have children, start a business with the support of your husband, slowly accumulate wealth, and start hiring more carriages and guards , from Baldur's Gate in the south to Neverwinter in the north, this is almost the farthest distance you can go.

"The days of doing business are hard and dangerous. Occasionally there are some accidents that you can remember for the rest of your life. One day you sell all your carriages and choose to return to Dagger Beach. You will age a little bit and eventually die on your bed. Looking back on your life, you will still feel Thinking about tonight, you just thought it was just a normal conversation at the time."

"But none of that is guaranteed to happen."

"Yes, because of this, life is an illusion. If you think life is boring, it's just that it hasn't figured out how to beat you up, so you must always be vigilant."

Mia was amused by Linde's words. She is a good girl who can make people happy when she smiles.

"Then if I stay in Dagger Beach, I won't get beaten?"

The magician shook his head, "Anyone can be beaten. Even I was tricked by myself into wandering in the wilderness. People at the bottom never have much choice, especially in this world. On the battlefield between gods, demons and legends, mortals' Emotions only hold up the stage of the story, and it is always a few people who decide the outcome, or it is the destiny arranged by the powerful."

Mia turned pale, straightened her chest and said, "No matter what, the people of Dagger Beach will not give up the fight."

"Yes." Linde nodded approvingly.

He chatted with a young and beautiful small town girl. The girl's cheeks were flushed and her voice was timid. The streets of Daggertan outside the window were noisy and the stars and moon were bright on the summer night. It's almost like the opening of many love stories, except that Lind's loneliness is so deep in his bones that no one can shake his heart at all.

Duchess Morven's carriage was parked at the door, and her sudden visit had obviously taken the family by surprise.

The Duchess is not young, with gray hair at the sideburns. The years have left not only wrinkles on her face, but also a daunting majesty.As soon as she came and went straight to Linde's room, Mia left quickly, and the private guards drove the family into the street, and no one was allowed to approach.

Ms. Mowen's eyes frequently paid attention to the magic circle on the ground. Dagger Beach is a small town, and people here basically know each other, but this also means that there are no secrets at all.

"Mr. De Lin, I have heard that you are a very capable adventurer. Dagger Beach welcomes outstanding talents to settle, but the premise is that that person cannot have ulterior motives and do some evil things secretly."

Linde sensed some strange traits from the duchess, with a vague sense of inhumanity. He didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but he also lost interest in communicating with the duchess.

"I'm not going to settle here. I'll be leaving soon, staying for a month at most."

"Then you still want to open lecture halls and gather students? I thought you would stay for at least a few years." Ms. Mo Wen said in a kind tone.

"Just think of it as my bad habit." Linde sat on the chair with a warm smile. "Wherever a bee flies, it can't help but stop on flowers and spread the pollen of knowledge. Speaking of which, my former principal His nickname is Old Bee."

"I thought mages were very cold."

"No, I'm a magician, and my job is to develop companions."

The Duchess' eyes became sharper, "Who do you serve?"
