Chapter 11 The Magician

Shopkeeper Feng didn't go over to interfere with Zhu Youchen's unloading, but just watched with interest.

At this time, Zhu Youchen was concentrating on controlling Da Zhuang and Er Pang to unload the goods. This was also the first time for him to control two monsters at the same time. It felt obviously much more difficult than controlling Da Zhuang alone, and it was similar to a lack of brain power. a feeling of.

In addition, the magic power consumed in the soul box is also much faster than controlling Da Zhuang alone.

But I have to admit that demon dolls are indeed stronger than humans in terms of strength and stamina. Even Erpang, who is a shield puppet, can lift cargo boxes with ease. As for Dazhuang, he can stack two of them with one hand. Cargo boxes, four cargo boxes in one trip, easy.

During the unloading process, Zhu Youchen could also clearly find that Er Pang felt much more cumbersome to control than Da Zhuang.

As I said before, the devil is controlled by thoughts. When controlling the big one, it feels almost like controlling one's own body. But when controlling the big one, it feels like there are dozens of kilograms of sandbags tied to it. .

This can also be seen from the efficiency of unloading goods by Da Zhuang and Er Pang.

Da Zhuang gives people a feeling of being full of passion when unloading goods, while Er Pang gives people a feeling of dawdling and swallowing slowly.

In short, this time of puppet control and unloading allowed Zhu Youchen to learn more about the puppet master, and at the same time, it also aroused a little interest in Zhu Youchen's heart.

Soon, with the help of Da Zhuang and Er Pang, all the goods in more than a dozen trucks were unloaded, and the other guys were all grateful to Zhu Youchen.

There was no way, if it weren't for Da Zhuang and Er Pang joining in, they would have been busy waiting for at least the rest of the night.

Shopkeeper Feng was also very satisfied with Zhu Youchen's performance. After finishing the matter, he called Zhu Youchen to him. He changed his anxious demeanor and interrogated him with interest: "Youchen, right? I didn't expect that you are still a control person." Puppet master."

"Is there any problem?" Zhu Youchen frowned slightly, thinking that the teahouse didn't accept puppet masters as waiters.

"That's not true, I'm just a little curious." Shopkeeper Feng laughed dumbly and said: "Looking at your age, you should be a student of Lanxin College, right?"

Combining Zhu Youchen's age and identity as a puppet master, Shopkeeper Feng subconsciously thought that Zhu Youchen was a student of Lanxin College.

"No." Zhu Youchen shook his head.

"No?" Shopkeeper Feng said slightly surprised: "I thought you were a work-study student from the college, but then again, why do you keep such a straight face, little guy?"

Zhu Youchen's expression remained unchanged and he said expressionlessly: "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, I was born like this."

"Oh," Shopkeeper Feng didn't dig into it, thinking it was a personality problem, "Looking at you, it must be your first time coming to Lanxin City, right?"

"Well, I just came here today." Zhu Youchen had nothing to hide.

"That's no wonder." Shopkeeper Feng suddenly smiled and said: "Let me tell you, how can a normal puppet master come to my little teahouse to be a waiter? As a puppet master, what can you do that is not better than being a waiter? "

Zhu Youchen's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help asking seriously: "Please give me some advice from the shopkeeper, what can I do in the future?"

"Tsk, tsk, it looks like you came to Lanxin City from a small place, right?" Shopkeeper Feng asked with a half-smile.

"That's right." Zhu Youchen nodded calmly.

"Actually, puppet masters can do a lot of things, and the pay is generally very high. Unlike ordinary people, they can only do some low-level jobs." Shopkeeper Feng didn't dislike Zhu Youchen, a young boy, and explained to Zhu Youchen enthusiastically. Get up: "Generally, puppet masters like you who have just arrived and have no background will do some work that is highly dangerous for ordinary people. After waiting for the three puppets to be formed, they can go hunting with other puppet masters. , or join the city lord’s army.”

"Thanks for the shopkeeper's advice." Zhu Youchen nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "The shopkeeper knows so much, so he should also be a puppeteer, right?"

But Shopkeeper Feng shook his head in confusion, "If I were a puppet master, would I still open a teahouse here? I would have traveled around Qunzhou long ago."

"Then why do you know so much about puppet masters?"

"There's nothing surprising." Shopkeeper Feng explained dumbly: "Although my teahouse is not big, there are still many puppet masters who come to drink tea and chat on weekdays. After a long time, they can be regarded as hearsay."

Zhu Youchen nodded clearly and looked at Shopkeeper Feng with a little gratitude in his eyes.

"In your situation, I guess you won't be able to work here for long. I'll let you know when you leave one day, and I'll pay you twice the salary then." Shopkeeper Feng stood up sleepily, turned around and walked upstairs. , "Okay, it's getting late. Go to bed early. Xiao Wang and the others will tell you where to stay in the future."

After saying that, he yawned and returned to the room upstairs.

Zhu Youchen originally wanted to ask more about the puppet master, but seeing that shopkeeper Feng had already gone upstairs, he had no choice but to follow the other guys and move into the guys' room in the backyard.

The guys all come from a small place, and they still respect Zhu Youchen's identity as a puppet master. Unfortunately, Zhu Youchen always keeps a straight face, giving people the feeling that strangers should not approach him, which makes the guys not dare to get close to him. .

In this way, Zhu Youchen was at peace. After all, he was taciturn and not good at communicating with others.

In the next half a month or so, Zhu Youchen became a waiter in Shopkeeper Feng's teahouse, opening and closing on time with other staff every day, and living a comfortable life.

During the more than half a month of work, Zhu Youchen also met many puppet masters who came to the tea house to drink tea. From their chats, he learned a lot about puppet masters, and occasionally heard a lot about puppet masters. Grapevine.

As the saying goes, environment changes a person.Unknowingly, Zhu Youchen gradually integrated into the rhythm of the big city, and his mentality gradually changed.

The boy who only knew how to kill pigs and wanted to kill pigs for the rest of his life has slowly changed.

As he slowly learned about it, he also developed a strong interest in the world of puppet masters. Although he had separated two puppets, theoretically, he was already a puppet master.

But Zhu Youchen knew very well that he was still far from the true circle of puppet masters.

Shopkeeper Feng also likes this hard-working guy. When he is free, he will tell Zhu Youchen some strange stories.

In a blink of an eye, another half month passed.

Zhu Youchen has been working in the teahouse for more than a month, and many regular customers who come often remember him as a little guy with a paralyzed face.

The afternoon sun made people sleepy. An old man in a gray robe with vicissitudes in his eyebrows and eyes walked into the teahouse.

Shopkeeper Feng's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to greet him with a familiar face: "Hey, you're here? Are you still the same?"

"Yes." The old man nodded with a slight smile, then slowly went upstairs and sat down by the window upstairs.

After watching the old man go upstairs, shopkeeper Feng immediately called Zhu Youchen over, "Still the same, a pot of Qinghu tea in early spring."

While making tea skillfully, Zhu Youchen asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, who is this old gentleman?"

He had been paying attention to this old man for a long time. For more than a month, this old man came to the tea house to drink tea almost every day, and it was at this time and in this position every day. While drinking tea, he also looked at all kinds of passers-by outside the window.

"I'm not sure about this, but since the opening of my teahouse for more than ten years, the old man has been drinking tea at that location upstairs every day. He is considered a veteran customer of our teahouse." Shopkeeper Feng introduced meaningfully. : "I heard from others that he seems to be a magician, but no one has ever seen him practice magic."

"The Demon Refiner?" Zhu Youchen couldn't help but asked in shock: "What is that? Is it the same as the Puppet Controller?"

"Of course it's different. Demon refining is a valuable profession. Everything needed to cultivate demon puppets is refined by a demon refining master. Unfortunately, the conditions for becoming a demon refining master are extremely demanding, and the magic refining profession is The knowledge is extremely profound, so there are very few truly powerful magicians." Shopkeeper Feng explained.

"Sorcerer?" Zhu Youchen nodded half-knowingly, this was the first time he had heard of the profession of a sorcerer.

"Okay, that's all I know. Hurry up and bring tea to the old gentleman~!"

"Oh." Zhu Youchen originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but after hearing what Shopkeeper Feng said, there was no need to ask any more. He carefully picked up the freshly brewed tea, and quickly sent it upstairs.

In the past month, almost all Zhu Youchen has been making and delivering tea to the old man. Unfortunately, the old man has always come and gone quietly, rarely talking to others. In addition, Zhu Youchen is not good at talking, so after a month , the two of them didn't say a few words.

"A pot of Qinghu tea in early spring, please use it slowly." Zhu Youchen poured the tea skillfully and brought it to the old man.

The old man nodded with a light smile, looked calmly at the passers-by outside the window, took a sip of the teacup, and then spoke for the first time, "Yes, the skill of making tea has improved."

Leng Buding heard the old man speak, and Zhu Youchen was really uncomfortable, "I'm really sorry. I just came to the store not long ago and I made you laugh before."

"It's okay." The old man smiled disapprovingly, then looked at Zhu Youchen curiously, and asked: "But I am very curious, why do you, a puppet master who has separated the second devil, work as a waiter in this teahouse? ? Shouldn’t a puppet master of your age be in the academy?"

Zhu Youchen was slightly stunned and said: "How do you know that I am a puppet master?"

Since Zhu Youchen came to Lanxin City, he has seen a lot of puppet masters, but this was the first time he saw that he was a puppet master without releasing the puppet.

The old man smiled slightly mysteriously and did not answer, "You haven't answered my question yet."

Hearing this, Zhu Youchen had nothing to hide and directly told his current situation.

After learning about Zhu Youchen's situation, the old man nodded thoughtfully. He did not ask any further questions. He just looked out the window with some melancholy and asked meaningfully: "Then have you ever thought about what it means to be a puppet master?" ?"

"No." Zhu Youchen shook his head in confusion, "I only know that puppet masters can make a lot of money."

"Well," the old man was obviously stunned, but when he thought about Zhu Youchen's background, he was relieved: "That's a good answer."

"You should also be a puppet master, right?" Zhu Youchen asked expressionlessly.

"What do you think?" the old man said with a dumb smile.

"Then you must be very good?"

The old man smiled noncommittally, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Zhu Youchen's expressionless face. This was what made him most curious about Zhu Youchen. It was unimaginable that a 16-year-old boy could actually make him feel something... See through the peace of the world.
