When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

Through the introduction of the older maid, Li Shanren learned that the eastern area included important places such as the castle's kitchen, servants' quarters, watchtowers and even the armory.

The task of the extraordinary team is to guard the tower and armory, and patrol the main road in the East District. If any abnormality is discovered, they will immediately ring the nearest alarm bell. If the situation is urgent, they will use the sound arrows issued to warn.

However, there has been no invasion inside the castle for a long, long time. I heard that the last time it was invaded was when the father of the current Viscount, the previous Viscount, was young. It was at least fifty or sixty years ago.

Therefore, in most cases, this guarding mission is probably just for show, or so Li Shanren thinks.

However, Eivor and the others seemed to intend to do the relevant work seriously. Compared with Li Shanren, a guy who was lazy by nature and thought about how to be lazy, they seemed to be conscientious and conscientious.

This may be the reason why their previous commission completion evaluations were relatively high.

Li Shanren is seriously considering whether to stay in a tower that can be guarded by one person and let the three wolves help him perform security tasks, while he sleeps in the corner or uses his free time to study writing... Well, that's accurate. Generally speaking, it is reading adventure narrative books that are similar to novels.

Reading is probably the only entertainment Li Shanren can find in the castle.

If there was a pond nearby, he might have gone fishing... But if he did, it wouldn't look like he was here to be a temporary guard, but rather like he was on paid leave. This would It may cause strong dissatisfaction from others.

After getting familiar with most of the facilities in the East District, under the leadership of the maid, Li Shanren and others finally arrived at the accommodation. It was a separate three-story white building with many rooms, and everyone could be assigned an independent room. It is said that this is the room that Viscount Armain prepared for the guards he brought when he received important guests.

The layout of the room is very similar to that of an ordinary hotel, with soft beds, spacious windows, neat desks and empty wardrobes. The single bed has already been covered with clean bedding, and the floor is very dusty. There are few, and the corners are very clean. There are no spider webs or anything like that. I guess someone cleans them frequently.

Li Shanren was assigned to a room on the right side of the second floor. Neighboring him were Tifa and Basat. Eivor lived alone on the third floor. It is said that he preferred to live higher up. place.

The five members of the Jianfeng team basically live on the first floor.

After the maid left, since she did not specify how to allocate the duties of duty, but only explained the time that duty must be done, the members of the two teams gathered together for a friendly exchange, and finally decided to rotate one day at a time. Guard various places.

Next came a more detailed internal allocation. Li Shanren got the task of guarding the tower as he wished, mainly because he took out the magic monocular telescope he had just obtained, showing that he had the ability to observe distant scenes. , more suitable for duty at high places.

Basat is on duty alone at the armory, while Tifa and Eivor are responsible for daily patrols. One of them has excellent pursuit capabilities, and the other has good reconnaissance capabilities. The patrols can be considered well-arranged.

If Li Shanren was allowed to take over the patrol mission alone, he would probably call Toret to carry him on his back, and then ask the three wolves to come out and follow him to detect the surrounding situation on his behalf.

However, such a patrol might scare the servants passing by in the castle.

......

In the following days, Li Shanren temporarily lived in the castle as a temporary guard. Basically nothing happened every day. He was immersed in the books he brought almost all day long, learning about the world through books. Geography, art, culture, and content about each country on the continent.

Of course, I also dabbled a little bit in the knowledge about the extraordinary system of this world, but the content in this aspect is relatively less.

For the tower duty that was performed every other day, Li Shanren summoned the three wolves to take charge of the watch, while he huddled in a corner and read a book.

Although the words he knows are still limited, he believes that compared to simply reciting words, reading may be the most efficient way to increase the speed of language learning. And after such a period of study, he has also completely mastered similar phonetic symbols in the world. For the same thing, you can completely check and fill in the gaps by consulting the dictionary yourself.

Of course, the dictionaries in this world are not comparable to the dictionaries in modern society, and are still relatively rough in content, but at least they record most of the commonly used words, which is enough for use.

If that doesn't work, you can still ask Eivor, who is relatively knowledgeable.

Although this may be embarrassing, it is surprising that as a magician, he can be semi-literate... Of course, it is better not to ask for advice until the last minute.

During the few days when Li Shanren was immersed in reading, Eivor often stayed in his room to study potion knowledge in his free time, while Tifa and Basat became frequent visitors to the castle training ground. I heard that They occasionally compete with another team defending the Western District to improve their combat skills and gain experience.

In short, for Li Shanren, this period of time was just a transition from hanging around in the Iris Hotel to hanging around in the castle of Viscount Arman. It was just that hanging around here could give him a salary every day. Something that people are quite satisfied with.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that Li Shanren has been neglecting his duties and not doing anything. After all, he took the money and enjoyed the meals carefully prepared by the castle maid every day. If someone really didn’t have the foresight to invade the castle secretly, Li Shanren would Shanren will still take responsibility to expel the intruders.

The days went on peacefully for the time being. The servants in the castle were quite respectful to the extraordinary beings who were hired with high salaries. Since there were no conflicts of interest or love or hatred among the extraordinary beings, they got along quite harmoniously. , at least there was no conflict.

The most powerful Red Flame Swordsman Dilena basically stayed inside the castle and never went out, so Li Shanren basically never saw him again.

Slowly, as time passed, Li Shanren spent four consecutive days in the castle, and the time came to the fifth day.

Li Shanren had just finished a sumptuous lunch at his desk that was delivered to the door by a maid. It consisted of two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish and one soup, including pan-fried pork steak and charcoal-grilled snakeheaded fish. It was paired with cooked stems of some kind of plant, which were rich in starch. , which tastes like potatoes, and a bowl of creamy mushroom soup.

It must be said that although this world does not seem to have a high level of development, it is surprisingly rich in food, with a rich variety and many different cooking techniques.

Although Li Shanren is more accustomed to Chinese food, after coming to this world, he can only do as the locals do. It is better than eating black bread mixed with sediment every day.

Just as Li Shanren was about to bring the relatively clean plate to the door for the passing maid to take away, someone knocked lightly on the door.

"Lithern, are you in there?" A clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door. It was Tifa who was outside.

"Oh, yes."

After hearing the words, Li Shanren put the dinner plate in his hand back on the table, responded, walked to the door, and opened the wooden door.

The neatly dressed Tifa stood outside the door with her hands behind her back. She was still beautiful today. Under her earlobes, the pair of drop-shaped silver earrings given by Li Shanren were shaking slightly, indicating that she had just stopped walking not long ago.
