The Servant of the Magic Marks of Transmigration

On the night when Mena returned, Pound and Funk lay comfortably side by side on the big bed after washing up, letting the hair balls dance happily around their heads, chatting with each other.Because of Mena's appearance, it reminded Pound that he and Funk didn't seem to have talked much about the past and the future.

"When Fenley heard the priest asked you to leave the settlement," Pound asked this first, "didn't he stop?"

"It's my fault. My brother told me not to do those tricks of blowing up fire in front of others," Funk rested his head on his hands, thinking back, "One day, I forgot, and I was seen by the priest A few days later, the priest told me to leave. At that time, the priest and my eldest brother had a long argument in the house, and no one was allowed to approach. No one knew what they said, and my eldest brother agreed after he came out.”

Pound raised his eyebrows, and Funk continued to recall, "The eldest brother at that time, everyone knew not to mess with him, and I didn't want to. Anyway, I have to go out alone in a few years. Every boy in the north will do it before he grows up. Mine is earlier, longer."

"So you don't actually understand why you have to leave for 10 years?" Pound raised his eyebrows even higher.

"It won't change if you know the reason," Funk turned his head, with a certain transparency in his eyes, "As long as the elder brother waits for me to go home, that's enough."

But thinking back to the boy funk at that time, there was still shock and confusion, and the incident of Mena was added later, Pang De thought, and couldn't help but tilt his head and said, "Don't be afraid, no matter what the reason is, I will go back with you when the time is up. "

Funk's golden-brown eyes showed joy, he turned sideways and gently pulled Pound into his arms to hug him, and buried the tip of his nose into Pound's soft and silky hair, "I'm not afraid either. Now that I know, the priest must have I know, I have to leave the north to meet you, luckily I listened to him."

Pound couldn't help chuckling, is this funk-style sweet talk?

It is undeniable that funk speaks so naturally, it sounds warm and tickling.

Pound moved into a more comfortable position in Funk's arm, "What do northerners do? Hunting?"

Funk's big hands slid down Pound's hair and neck to his back, rubbing fondly, "There seems to be nothing in the north except for hunting."

"Why? No food is grown in the north?" Pound closed his eyes in relaxation.

"It's much colder in the north than here, and it's snowing for most of the year. If it's the migration season, you can't keep farming."

"Migration period?" Pound opened his eyelids.

"Every few years, the northern glaciers will melt for a period of time, submerging the more northern continents and causing the herds to move south. At that time, we have to stay behind the city walls for a long time to ensure safety."

"Sounds like a lot of hard work." Pound was a little surprised.

"Well, so it's okay to go back to the south, you are so afraid of the cold." Funk rubbed Pound's head.

Pound thought for a while, "We have a lot of imperial coins, can they be used in the north?"

"Some people who like gold coins will take it, but most don't. We still prefer to exchange for useful things."

Thinking of Funk's money-spending style, Pound understood, "So you spend gold coins indiscriminately."

"Huh?" Funk didn't realize that there was something wrong with him.

Pound closed his eyes again, and moved under Funk's hands in a relaxed manner, "It doesn't matter, the gold coins will be there if you earn more."

"Isn't there enough gold coins?" Funk couldn't keep up with Pound's jumping words.

"In the future, the north and the south will each buy a house," Pound muttered with his eyes closed. "It's better, with a yard, and you can walk the dog..."

"House is fine, but what's a dog walk?" Funk's voice was confused.

Mao Tuan didn't know the mission he was assigned to. He had already snored and fell asleep on top of the two of them.

And Pound didn't answer either.

In a few breaths, he fell into a deep sleep, peaceful and relaxed.

***

The next day, the two were in good spirits and took Mao Tuan to attend the potion competition.

The venue is the largest auction hall in Kuluo, which is actually the one where the water drop bell was auctioned before, but the venue has been rectified. Originally, there was a circular venue with boxes, but the box compartments disappeared completely, and it became a neat and comfortable row. seat.The original size of the venue was more than a thousand people, but now it should be able to accommodate thousands of people.

Pound and the others entered the arena 10 minutes earlier. At this time, the venue was already full of noise, and the seats in the back were [-]% full. However, in the special seats in the front row, I don't know if there are boxes for the big shots or something. A few sporadic ones appeared.Pound and Funk found a seat and sat down early. It was a seat to the left of the center. It was not particularly eye-catching but had a good view. It must have been specially arranged by Bergerand.

In front of the special seats, there are several rows of long tables and chairs, which look like the positions of the raters.Pound counted, and after a few rows, eighty to ninety positions were set up. The lineup was quite huge.It can be seen that in the matter of scoring, because it is linked to interests, it should have gone through a lot of competition between personnel and factions.

Here I have to introduce the way the potion contest is conducted.

Since the potion involves a formula, it is completely the crystallization of the wisdom of the potion master, as long as it is made public, it will be learned soon.Therefore, the method of the potion contest had to allow the potion masters to hide the formula.Of course, if the participating potion masters choose to announce the formula, there will be a small amount of extra points in the mining points, but with the negative consequences of no economic benefits, very few potion masters are willing to do so.

Therefore, to allow the potion masters to refine the finished products in the competition without disclosing the formula, the contestants were allowed to list the list of medicinal materials in an anonymous way beforehand, and the organizers would prepare them in advance for the competition. The library of medicinal materials used.When the game started, the potion masters entered the arena empty-handed (they had to be searched before entering the arena to ensure that they did not carry the refined potions), and used the existing medicinal materials in the medicinal material library to enter the prepared single-room pharmacy to make magic potions. Then, show the effect of the potion made on the spot in front of the judges for scoring.

But if the potion master uses some special medicinal materials, which the organizer cannot find or prepare in time, the potion master can also bring the medicinal materials into the competition by himself, just like the water drop bell sold by Pound this time.This will cause doubts about exposing the formula, but when encountering such precious medicinal materials that even the organizers are difficult to prepare, the impact of exposure is not great.Because so what if you know?Materials are no longer available to everyone.Although this caused the competition to be unfair to a certain extent, but from another perspective, it also encouraged potion masters to discover more rare and rare medicinal materials.It is a skill to be able to find it.

In addition, some potion refining also has a time factor.For example, how long does it need to be boiled or how long does it need to settle? At this time, the organizer will provide the necessary dark magician, and use the magic spell to help speed up the time of the potion, so as to meet the requirements of the competition and control the time for refining the potion within two hours.

Therefore, there are actually two playing fields.One is the auction hall where Pound stayed, which is a stage for potion masters to display the potions they have made.Another larger competition venue; using many requisitioned venues in Kuluo City, is an independent pharmacy for the contestants to enter in turn to make potions.

Naturally, what Pound and the others looked at was not the secret pharmaceutical process, but the display of potions that entered the scoring stage.

***

"No. 681, His Excellency Lyons Ge Ruo, with a total score of 451 points!"

When the scorer loudly announced the score of the potion, there was a commotion in the arena.

"Ah!! Lost again, damn it!! Are these judges fair!?"

"Not necessarily. The boy in Fangsuo City is still not comparable, maybe His Excellency Ge Ruo is taller than him!"

"Tsk, what's the use of that!? There was a score of 455 before! This means that Kuluo can't be the first again... Sigh, I don't know how long the city lord will go berserk..."

This sentence seems to be quite agreeable to the other party, "Oh, yes, at least let us win Fang Suo, God bless..."

Pound listened to the small discussions from behind with interest.

Needless to say, this Mr. Ge Ruo, who scored 451 points, is the representative of the Kuluo competition that the lord of Kuluo City is optimistic about.With a high score of 455, there is no hope for Ku Luocheng to win the gold prize in the potion contest.The competition in the Potion Contest is very simple, just like scoring exam papers, once the potion scores come out, it is immediately clear who wins and loses.

Looking at the city lord sitting in the front rows (this was pointed out by Pound when he came over to chat before the opening), this middle-aged man with a puffy belly was really angry, and angrily questioned some of the staff who seemed to be around him. The officials, all the officials were around to comfort the city lord with ugly faces.

Unexpectedly, Pound heard another sentence at this time.

"Ha, even if there is a water drop bell, the score is still lost to someone who doesn't have it. The Kuluo faction, Ge Ruo, is too useless. He still wants to compare with us. This is a joke..."

As soon as these words came out, the city lord of Kuluo almost jumped up from the special seat and stared back, yelling aggressively on the spot, "Which bastard said that!! Stand up for me!! Say it again if you have the guts!!" Regardless of the stage There's still a potions contest going on. "come out!!"

And the person who spoke seemed to be a bum, because he didn't dare to admit it at this time, and there was silence behind him.

The city lord of Kuluo yelled several times, but the staff on the side didn't have the guts to step forward to stop him. Finally, he was persuaded by the officials next to him. Before the city lord sat back in his chair, he glanced viciously at Pound's front right. , "From Fangsuo City! Don't think I don't know!! You're so proud!! This time the gold reward won't be you either!!"

Pound then looked at the distinguished guests from Fonso City in the area pointed out by the city lord.

In the special seats, in addition to many nobles who were said to be of noble status, Bergland also introduced that some important figures who were particularly valued by the Potions Guild were also arranged in the special seats.Among them were Rudy Fonso, who was going to play in the afternoon, and Clark Moore, who was from the imperial capital and was also highly sought for a gold award. They were all sitting near Pound.

And when the city lord said harsh words, the "Potion prodigy" Rudy Fonso, who had been sitting on the seat with a bored face, had a contemptuous smile on his immature face.Without concealing it, I'm afraid the city lord might not see it.

Seeing this, Pang De couldn't help sighing in his heart.

This kind of kid who is proud of his talents and is too used to walking sideways will definitely suffer a lot because of this.

After all, for this reason, he cheated Fang Suo of [-] gold coins and borrowed them as a spearman.

Sure enough, the Lord Kuluo, who was about to calm down just now, exploded again.

"That so-and-so, Saint Doan is here, is he here!!" the city lord suddenly shouted towards the surroundings.

"Your Majesty... you, calm down..."

"Yeah, I'm still competing..." several faint voices wanted to hold him back.

"Are you here!!" The city lord didn't care, and still yelled, "Just shout out! What are you afraid of! I'm not going to kill you!!"

Pound propped his chin and began to smile.

After yelling a few times, the sweaty staff on the side kept winking in a certain direction.

Finally, a thin middle-aged man with gray temples stood up and bowed slightly solemnly.

"Your Excellency is looking for Clark Moore from Saint Doan? If so, I am..."

"Is it just you!? Saint Doan's!!" The castellan yelled loudly.

"Yes."

"Very good!! I'll give you three, no, five water drop bells!! It's free!"

"You won me that Fang Suo's brat this afternoon!!"

Pound was happy.

Off stage is much more exciting than on stage.
