Chapter 227: Being Friends with the Old Ones Doesn’t Prevent Working for the Young Ones
As the mysterious man approached the wooden house, Ye Zuxi discovered that the wooden house in front of him was unusual.
Light-colored wood is not just beautiful, their material seems to have become extremely tough under certain adjustments, and the moisture in the forest cannot soak it and will not rot.
There are many green plants climbing on the wooden house, adding a bit of vitality to this mysterious wooden house.
On the side of the house, there is a field, which is planted with many plants that Ye Zuxi does not recognize at all. Although he does not recognize them, just by passing the fence and feeling the vitality contained in the escaping mixed aroma, Ye Zuxi can confirm these
Plants are definitely extraordinary.
Behind the wooden house was an instrument with a dark gold color as the main body. The painting style was slightly different from the surroundings, and Ye Zuxi could not observe it carefully for a while.
"You should be the first visitor to visit my small residence in the past hundreds of years." Before entering the house, the gentle young man in front of me said with a smile.
Hundreds of years? Ye Zuxi looked at the other party's face and couldn't see the meaning of these hundreds of years. Is it a joke or is it true?
Is it really possible for someone who has lived for hundreds of years to still be so young?
"Excuse me." He didn't dare to ask any more questions and said a little cautiously.
The young man opened the door and took Ye Zuxi into the house.
The wooden house doesn't look small from the outside, but once inside, you will feel a little cramped.
The reason is that there are a lot of objects placed on the walls, ceiling, some cupboards, and tables in the house. To be honest, the space in the house is used to the extreme. Although there are many things, they are not cluttered, and are arranged in an orderly and cramped manner.
It feels like it gives people a sense of security.
"What would you like to drink?" the young man asked as he untied his somewhat loose robe and hung it on the coat rack at the door.
"Anything is fine." Ye Zuxi naturally didn't dare to ask for anything.
"Do you like sweets?"
"Not annoying."
"That's why I like it."
The young man said to himself, and Ye Zuxi did not refute.
He actually likes sweets, and the young man seemed to easily see through this from some of his reactions.
"Two cups of Wolong milk tea, how's the sugar content?" The young man stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers. Ye Zuxi saw a light screen flashing between the young man's fingers, and some data streams flashed on it.
But why milk tea again? Is there such a drink in this world? Ye Zuxi has drank a lot of milk tea recently and lacked exercise. He feels that he may be a little fat.
"A little more." Ye Zuxi thought for a while and said. Being fat is one thing, but enjoying it is another.
The young man nodded and continued: "One portion has more sugar and one portion has less sugar."
In Ye Zuxi's hearing, there seemed to be the sound of something operating inside the wooden house.
"Bake two more Hua Luo cakes." The young man ordered again.
After doing this, he said to Ye Zuxi: "Sit wherever you want, don't be so nervous."
Ye Zuxi found a chair nearby and sat down. In front of him was a dark wooden table, and the young man also sat down opposite him, with his legs crossed. He put a hand on his chest and introduced himself generously: "Then let me introduce myself, Ai
De Gatampaest, an ordinary alchemist who has lived here for a long time, you can call me Ed."
Ye Zuxi was not impressed by the name, so he introduced himself after hearing this: "My name is Ye Zuxi, hello, Mr. Ed."
"Ye, Zu, Xi." Ed read out the name word by word.
Ye Zuxi was surprised to find that Ed used a very standard Yanhuang dialect when pronouncing his name!
"Are you from the Black Continent?" Ed continued to ask in "Yanhuang dialect", but as soon as he asked, he shook his head, "No, this outfit doesn't look very similar, and the magic habits are also far different. And it's also...
There is an alien aura. Are you an alien traveler from some other world and came here?"
In a few words, he exposed Ye Zuxi's true identity.
Ye Zuxi's expression did not change. He was mentally prepared for this unusual young man in front of him.
"Yes, I come from another world." Ye Zuxi admitted frankly.
"Turn off the translation magic. Your mental strength is good, but as the conversation progresses, the magic will not last long. I will just use the language you are familiar with to communicate." Ed said gently.
"Thank you for your accommodation." Ye Zuxi breathed a sigh of relief and turned off the translation magic.
Ed is right. The more messages he receives at one time, the greater his mental burden will be. If Ed talks a few more words, he probably won't be able to hold on.
I didn't expect to see people speaking in my native language in a different world. It was an unexpected surprise.
"Can you tell me specifically how you traveled across the world? I'm a little curious. After all, ah, it's a bit presumptuous, but please understand that you are very weak. Although the quality of the magic circuit is not low, it has flaws. You have several ingenious creations.
That’s it. So he shouldn’t have the power to travel through the world on his own.”
Ed spoke very straightforwardly. Although he looked like a gentle young man, he was not merciless at all when he spoke.
Ye Zuxi naturally knew that the attitude of such a strong man towards him was the freedom of the strong man, but he felt that the young man named Ed in front of him had a heartfelt and clear conscience temperament.
Unexpectedly self-centered, arrogant hidden under a gentle appearance.
His humble and gentle appearance and tone surprisingly have no conflict with this hidden temperament, and are instead very easy to accept. The noble aura that this young man displays from time to time makes people feel that he should be like this.
Rather, it is quite incredible that such a person seems to be so easy to talk to.
Speaking of which, Aaron also has a similar feeling, but Aaron is not arrogant, but a natural feeling of being superior to others, but it is also difficult to refute, and it does not give people a bad feeling.
After Ye Zuxi thought about it for a while, he attributed his time travel to that mysterious fragment, and other than that, he concealed Aaron's help to him in the process.
After listening to Ye Zuxi's description, Ed put a hand on his chin and looked at Ye Zuxi with interest.
Looking into his strange-colored eyes, Ye Zuxi felt that her lies seemed quite weak.
If his guess a moment ago was correct, the young man in front of him was probably related to Aaron.
Should be brothers?
In short, he was once implicated by the Silver King because of Alon's aura, so if the man in front of him is sharp enough, he might be able to easily discover that he is connected to Alon.
Thinking of this, Ye Zuxi could not help but gently stroke his eyebrows.
It feels really tiring to deal with big bosses.
And what kind of monster family is this? The whole family is above taboo beings. Could it be that he is in a certain novel world?
He thought, his hearing was touched.
Out of the corner of my eye, I also caught a glimpse of something coming this way.
It was a white prismatic crystal plate floating in the air, with sharp edges, and a purple light emitted from one of its tips. Several white "currents" protruded from the light, but these currents had tangible and tangible properties.
The entities are intertwined to form "arms" and are holding two plates.
On the plate are milk tea and a dessert called "Hua Luo Cake".
"The snacks are here, you're welcome." Ed sat upright and said.
Milk tea and dessert were handed to the table, and Ye Zuxi started to enjoy them with her knife and fork.
Cutting off a corner of the scone smeared with some kind of jam in front of him, he put it into his mouth with a fork, and Ye Zuxi couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
It has a soft texture, a strong milky aroma, and a thick sweetness that fills your mouth. The sourness brought by the jam that follows is intertwined with it, creating an excellent layered experience.
Seeing Ye Zuxi's look, Ed smiled even more: "How?"
"It's amazing and delicious." Ye Zuxi expressed his feelings concisely and directly.
"Hahaha! In order to reproduce this kind of craftsmanship, I have been working on this gourmet module intermittently for more than ten years." Ed said proudly.
"Is this made of this device?" Ye Zuxi looked at the suspended crystal plate strangely and asked.
It's not like he has never seen a doll with superb cooking skills, but a wonderful crystal plate can actually do such a thing. Is this floating plate the same thing as a doll?
"This is just a simple small function, something I tinkered with in my spare time to improve my quality of life here." Ed said lightly.
After the two of them finished their snacks, Ed took the initiative and said, "You first came to this world, so you probably need some information about this world."
"Yes." Ye Zuxi, who had relaxed a little because of the delicious snacks, picked up again and straightened his back and said.
"You were randomly teleported here without coordinate lock, so meeting like this is considered fate. Well, do something for me, and I can get what you want as reward. What do you think?" Ed?
He held his face with one hand and used the fork with the other hand to make a crisp sound on the plate.
"If you don't mind my low strength." Ye Zuxi agreed after hesitating for a moment.
It's a good thing to be able to connect with the boss, and he really needs a lot of information when he first comes to this world.
"Where, although your magic circuit is defective for some reason, the skill operation magic is good to use. With the improved skill magic, plus your own talent, if you cultivate the skill well, it will be more or less a spiritual life." Ai
De said gently.
Hearing this, Ye Zuxi frowned.
What the person in front of me said contained a lot of information.
The flaw in the magic circuit has been mentioned before. What does this mean? He doesn't feel that he has any flaw? Special improvement of ingenuity magic? As far as he knows, ingenuity magic itself should not have experienced any changes in history. After all, for the earth
For people in the world, performing clever magic is almost instinctive.
What is spiritual life? Is it the level division of this world?
"Then let's give you a small deposit in advance. It's free for the time being," Ed continued. "This place was once called the 'Great Plateau,' and now the world prefers to call it the 'Lost Plateau.' And that one almost killed
The giant beast that will kill you is named 'Skarno', an ancient titan beast that was given the mission of guarding this area and has lived here for a long time.
"You're out of luck. Recently, some blind people touched it. It was in a bad mood and moved around a lot, so you bumped into it."
While Ye Zuxi was thinking, Ed handed over a card: "So, this is your first job. I'm tired of those big guys flying around all day long. You can help deal with those annoying little bugs after you find them.
Let's bring peace to the plateau.
"This is the key to teleport back to the wooden house. You can come back to rest when you are tired. You can stay and use it wherever there is no ritual isolation."
Ye Zuxi reached out and took the card.
It feels cold to the touch, seems to be metal, and has a hard texture.
When Ye Zuxi saw the pattern on the card, his pupils suddenly dilated.
Eleven swords, surrounding a double-headed spear.
This composition is hard not to remind people of the chaotic vision of the previous Silver King.
It's just that on this card, the eleven giant swords and double-headed spears are gold-colored, and the patterns are more refined than the silver version, making them look noble.
"It seems that you recognize this pattern, but you don't respond to my last name. This is really strange." Ed put his chin on his hands and said with a smile.
Ye Zuxi felt a cold sweat on his back and said, "I just saw a similar pattern by chance, but I don't know the meaning behind it."
"Hmm~." Ed tilted his head, then stood up, "Okay, let's just get over this innocuous little thing. If you want to know, you can take credit and let me tell you later. So now,
When are you going to start work?"
Ye Zuxi looked at the card in his hand, was silent for a while, looked up at Ed's pair of strange eyes, and said, "Let's start now."
