The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 73 Germination
dong dong dong.

Just as Sasha was concentrating on today's study tasks, there was a hasty knock on the door from outside.

The underground is not a good place, and generally no one will come here, except for Eckert.

And every time Ickert came down here, he either randomly checked the homework or checked the situation of the magic circle, and occasionally brought a few oranges to Sasha.

Randomly check Sasha because of boredom, and check the magic circle for safety.

Either way, every time the teacher came down, Sasha's stay at home was over.

She hurriedly hid the biscuits that Aunt Maria gave her. Now that the food in the territory is tight, Ickert has not maintained the food standard of the castle, or he is unable to maintain the food standard of the castle.

Even the bread he gnaws every day is hard and can be used as bricks, but it is not mixed with sawdust like the bread eaten by slave rats.

As for the side dishes, the soup and water are basically in a state of lack, and maybe occasionally you can eat the fish caught by the caravan guys from the Vanvna River.

Fish are not always available, Ikett is not a god, he can't ask the guys to provide him with food like an offering, he can only buy it with his own money.

Maybe only slime can be supplied stably.

It is conceivable that if he was caught stealing cookies under such circumstances, he might really be hung up and spanked by the teacher.

Little Sasha hugged the small wooden box containing the biscuits, hurriedly hid it, and found a corner to pat the biscuit crumbs on her body.

After doing all this, she ran all the way to the door and opened it for Ickert.

"Why so long?"

Ickert walked in very unceremoniously, and began to look into the wine cellar.

I always feel that this child has a ghost in his heart today.

"I accidentally fell asleep, I'm sorry, teacher."

Sasha smiled rather embarrassedly, with a bit of biscuit crumbs on her embarrassing smile.

Ickert gently wiped the biscuit crumbs from the little girl's mouth, and Sasha's smile stopped abruptly.

It took a long time for Ickert to hold back a word.

"What did you eat? Break some for me."

Needless to say, Eckert knew that the maid in the castle must have been bewitched by this guy's cuteness and made some snacks for her.

Originally, Ickert planned to punish this gluttonous little apprentice. As for the way of punishment
Of course let her do advanced mathematics!

If Eckert had a high-level math problem set at hand, he would definitely ask Sasha to do it three times, and add ten problems if he made a mistake.

But thinking about the next thing she needs to do, Ickert thinks it doesn't matter if Sasha is naughty.

It's just a good time to replenish energy, so don't tire the child out for a while.

But no matter how you say it, Ickert will take away some snacks from her. Since coming to the rural place of Windsor, I haven't eaten such things as snacks for a long time.

When he was in the imperial capital, the baroness would bake crispy biscuits for the whole family, and he would spread butter or jam on the biscuits.

Take a sip when you are free, the taste is really good.

Then Sasha reluctantly pulled out a small wooden box from under the quilt under Ickert's supervision, slid open the lid, and took out a biscuit.

Abandoned Boss Jin broke off a piece for him.

"You really broke me!"

"Teacher, your piece is twice as big as mine!"

"Alright, alright."

If you don't respect the teacher now, there will be some boys who are eager to learn in the future.

Ickert took a bite of the biscuit viciously while recalling the knowledge of advanced mathematics.

"so hard!"

This biscuit from Sasha's collection seems to have been preservatively treated.

And Sasha picked up the other half of the biscuit and ate it like a hamster.

"By the way, teacher? Are you coming down to check my study progress again?"

Sasha ate the biscuits quickly, raised her head and asked.

"No, I'm here to give you homework."

"Operation!"

Sasha shuddered as soon as she heard the homework. She had just finished the homework assigned by Ickert, but it happened again suddenly.

"Haha, that's right, guys! Move your stuff in!"

Ickert yelled towards the door, and under Sasha's desperate gaze, the sturdy caravan men lowered bag after bag of seeds from their shoulders.

One bag, two bags, three bags.
"My lord, can I just put it here?"

"Yes, it's fine to put it there. After you're done, go out and help out in the field!"

"okay!"

The guys withdrew after placing their things, and Ickert introduced to Sasha:

"These are the seeds needed for the cultivation of the territory. Your task is to germinate them. You don't need to grow too much, just germinate them. By the way, don't urge the seeds to death like last time. The nutrition of the seeds is limited."

"Do these... all need to be germinated?"

Sasha couldn't believe it, these bags were piled up much higher than her.

For a magic apprentice, such a workload is very heavy, but in fact, no one in the territory has any choice.

"These must be done, preferably today, and tomorrow at the latest. Whether you can complete this work determines whether everyone in the territory can afford bread in the coming year."

Ickert patted Sasha on the shoulder after speaking.

"The burden on your shoulders is heavy, but don't put too much pressure on it. You can treat this as a daily magic practice. If you need anything, go to my bag by yourself."

The natural magic power in the last magic crystal is not used up, and working in the basement where the magic pressure is higher than the outside world will also help Sasha recover her magic power. If she casts spells on a whole bag of seeds at a time, this work will not take too long of.

"Okay teacher."

In the face of Ickert's arrangement, what else can Sasha say?She is just a little magic apprentice.

She immediately entered the working state, picked up the hammer and nails and began to draw the magic circle.

At least if she casts spells with the magic circle, it can make her feel a little more relaxed. She only needs to charge the magic crystal.

Ickert didn't want to disturb him when he saw this, he walked to the door softly and prepared to leave.

But before leaving, he still did not forget to give Sasha a word.

"By the way, you don't need to serve dinner today. I'll ask Maria to bring it down for you. You can concentrate on magic practice."

After speaking, Ickert closed the door and walked out.

He didn't leave the underground directly, but walked directly to the dungeon at the other end.

After finding Sasha, it's the turn of a certain earth monitor lizard.

The cave monitor lizard had just experienced the most drastic change in its life. After releasing its magic power, it was so weak that it slept for a whole morning before waking up.

After waking up, I didn't see that annoying human. Except for the occasional sobbing mouse in the dungeon, the monitor lizard felt that it was very quiet here, and there was no movement of undead outside the cell.

After recovering its magic power, it also recovered its physical strength. Finally, it could finally take a good rest.

In this way, the monitor lizard gnawed a piece of sugarcane bamboo when it was hungry, and scared the rats in the next cell when it was bored.

Until the sound of crisp footsteps came from above.

The cave monitor lizard, which was happily nibbling sugarcane bamboo just a second ago, froze in place on the spot.

Ickert held the light technique on his fingers and walked straight to the giant lizard.

"You don't think I've forgotten you."
