Otherworldly Skeleton

Mitchell already had a smile on his face. He walked around the stone platform and came to Lu Yan with his slender four pairs of slender feet: "Master Zhangu, the slave you trained is really..."

"Boss Mi, her name is Jiu, she is my friend, not a slave." Lu Yan interrupted Mitchell.

Mitchell apologized again and again: "Oh, I'm sorry, it turned out to be Miss Ajiu. Anyway, you plated it very accurately, especially this plate of Phnom Penh crabapple, which was not as valuable as the snow mountain rose, but because the two leaves of the crabapple were damaged during transportation. The damage caused the Phnom Penh to be slightly festered and affected the appearance, so its price is lower than that of the Snow Mountain Rose, I didn’t expect you to be able to see this.”

Ah Jiu smiled lightly, nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze away, not wanting to be too entangled.

Lu Yan smiled and patted Mitchell on the shoulder: "How about it, Boss Mi, can we be friends?"

"Friends, definitely friends." Mitchell said happily: "The price order of these four dishes is completely correct, and the price difference of the first three dishes is also within the range of 1 calories, but the price difference of the fourth dish is It’s a pity to reach 1 cards, but this is already rare, I will provide you with a 500% discount, and you will always be welcome to Renter Garden in the future.”

"Haha, Boss Mi is really a cheerful person." Lu Yan laughed happily and took out his bone card. Suddenly, he thought of a question, stopped and asked, "Boss Mi, which is the most expensive bonsai here?"

Mitchell's smile became stronger, and he pulled Lu Yan to a corner of the room, where there was a small plant full of golden flowers quietly placed there, and it was also covered with an oversized anti-corrosion cover, Mitchell said : "This one is called Jinxuan Mandala. Even in the Lan Empire, it is one of the most expensive varieties. It is currently the most expensive in my store. The price is 20 calories, and you can still enjoy a 25% discount. "

Anyway, he's already bleeding heavily, so it's better to be more ruthless, do what he likes, and conquer that Renzait in one go!

Lu Yan gritted his teeth, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I bought it!"

…………

Opening the gate of Lunzait, Lu Yan walked in very familiarly, but this time he carefully observed the surroundings to ensure that there were no other traps for touching porcelain.

The store clerk from Renter Garden helped to bring in five sets of precious flowers, then set up a shade and rain shed in a corner of the courtyard, built a sturdy carved flower stand, and placed the five sets of flowers one by one, A luxurious and stunning atmosphere filled the entire courtyard.

During the whole process, Lenzait never appeared, it seemed that he was not in the thatched cottage at all, and Lu Yan didn't ask. After finishing the work, he sent all the guys away, and then stood quietly at the door again, Ah Jiu followed Behind him, staring at this strange little courtyard with two curious eyes.

The thatched hut was still there, and the sun had already risen to the sky. Lu Yan was neither arrogant nor impetuous, standing under the sun without avoiding it, waiting for Lenzait to appear.

43 flowers, 5 anti-corrosion cover, the total price is 48 cards, even if the 25% discount is deducted, there are still 36 cards. It took a lot of money, so naturally you have to be respectful on the surface, otherwise, if you make Renzait unhappy, wouldn't it be a waste of money to do something bad.

From noon until more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Ah Jiu couldn't hold back and fell asleep leaning against the door panel, only Lu Yan was still standing at the door like a skeleton specimen.

"Ha...ow!" With a loud yawn, the shirtless Lenzait stretched out from the hut. He first glanced at the five sets of precious new flowers added to the courtyard, and then Resisting the twitching smile at the corner of his mouth, he looked at Lu Yan coldly: "Why are you still here? Since you are with my flowers, I won't report to the army to arrest you, you go."

"Lord Renzait." Lu Yan bowed respectfully: "I am the bone of Lord Kerenval, and I want to learn tactical skills from you."

"That stupid dragon? I don't know him. What's the use of bringing him out? I won't take the bones." Renzait waved his hand and turned to leave.

However, Lu Yan could hear the deep meaning in Lenzait's words. First, Lenzait and Karen Val clearly knew each other and had a friendship, otherwise they wouldn't have such an affectionate nickname of "Stupid Dragon"; Zait said that he would not accept war bones as apprentices, not to say that he would not accept apprentices. Obviously, his ability is enough to teach higher-level skeletons. If he can successfully apprentice, he will definitely benefit a lot.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan wouldn't back down, he summoned up his courage and said, "My lord, please accept me, and I will carry forward your skills."

"Bah, that thing has been carried forward and let people live, idiot." Renzait spat, and got into the thatched hut again.

Although Lu Yan was a little depressed, he was far from giving up. He still stood silently. Karen Val said that this Renzait had a good temper, as long as he died with him, he would succeed.

Ah Jiu woke up. She hugged her knees and sat at Lu Yan's feet, silently looking at Lu Yan's back.

At sunset, Lenzait came out, and he snorted coldly at Lu Yan: "Haven't you left yet, idiot?" Then he took care of the flowers and plants in his yard. As for the five plates of precious flowers, He didn't even touch them, but every time he passed by them, he couldn't help but look at them greedily.

After finishing the yard, Lenzait suddenly looked at Ah Jiu: "Little girl, don't suffer with that idiot's bones, come over to eat."

Ah Jiu stood up in panic, not knowing what to do.

Lu Yan quickly said happily to Ah Jiu: "Hey, you go in to eat, he is a good man, he will not bully you, remember to work hard, and do more when you see what needs to be cleaned up."

Ah Jiu nodded hesitantly, then walked into the thatched hut. Soon after, there was smoke from cooking and Lenzait shouted in the hut: "No, you can cook, okay, okay, I've already I'm tired of eating noodles, try your handicraft today."

"Wow, it's delicious. After steaming the jerky once, it's so delicious!"

"No, is this the smelly Heihe silver carp? Are you the reincarnation of the chef of the Lan Empire?"

The lights flickered in the thatched hut, and Lenzait caught two fish from the pond behind the yard, plus the dried meat he had stored, Ah Jiu used these things to make delicious meals, and the old guy who ate them praised it Absolutely.

Lu Yan smiled knowingly, if he still fails to learn from his teacher, he can come and write his Lu characters.

In the early morning, Ajiu helped Lenzait prepare breakfast, and then squatted beside Lu Yan. She would rather give up the warmth of the thatched hut to accompany Lu Yan to suffer.

After Lunzait ate fried eggs and minced meat, he came out of the room with his mouth full of oil, looked at Lu Yan, and then at Ah Jiu who vowed not to leave Lu Yan, frowned and said: "Skeleton, I Want to buy your slave, make an offer."

"Her name is Ajiu, she is my friend, not a slave, my lord." Lu Yan had a faint smile on his face, and Ajiu also nodded from Lenzait with a smile. This uncle looks very fierce , but in fact he is very nice, Ah Jiu also likes him quite a lot.

"Skeletons and humans are friends?" Renzait snorted coldly: "Ridiculous!"

Lu Yan and Ah Jiu looked at each other and smiled, but didn't say anything.

Lenzait moved his tongue, savoring the delicacy of rice wrapped with fried egg and minced meat, then turned his head and glanced worriedly at the five pots of bonsai that had been left untouched all night. He said to Lu Yan in a polite tone: "Boy, what do you want to learn?"

"Tactics, my lord!" Lu Yan replied happily.

"Tactical, tactical, that stupid dragon is really causing me trouble!" Lenzait snorted coldly, and finally threw a cloth note: "For the sake of sending an extra pot of rotten flowers, your tuition fee will be waived. But learning tactics requires textbooks, you go to the bookstore to buy them yourself, I have written the title of the book on it.”

After Lenzait finished speaking, he couldn't wait to carry the kettle and walked towards the five rare bonsai.

Lu Yan opened the cloth with a smile, and there were four large characters written on it: "Bone Encyclopedia."

Is this the textbook to study?Filled with doubts, Lu Yan left Lenzait's courtyard and came to the largest Wuli Bookstore in Heishui City.

Skeletons don’t read very much. Human beings read books. Craftsmen need books to spread skills. Skeletons allow them to build bookstores for this purpose. The carrier of books is white wood that has been squeezed out of oil, and it is made by crushing, steaming, exposure to the sun, and cutting. , the formed paper is grayish yellow, relatively brittle, and some are not easy to store, but they can be used barely.

The rice paper made by the Lan Empire is very easy to preserve. It is not brittle, yellowing, or depreciating for a long time. After being coated with special spices, it can prevent moths. .

What is more extravagant is the silk cloth made of silk, which is light and soft, white and flawless, and has a glossy effect. It is generally used by famous painters to paint. Of course, some people use it to write, such as Renzait. The first time I handed it to Lu Yan was all strips of silk cloth, obviously he was extravagantly using silk cloth as a carrier for writing.

The collection of books in Wuli Bookstore is not only the most abundant in Heishui City, but also one of the best in the entire Skull Continent. This is inseparable from the importance Zexis attaches to human beings, and he has indeed benefited from this Strategies to manage Heishui City in an orderly manner.

However, Lu Yan searched Wuli Bookstore for a full two hours, but did not find any "Bone Encyclopedia". He even paid the owner of Wuli Bookstore for help, searched all the purchase history, but failed to find this book. With the existence of the book, Lu Yan discovered that there was still a lot of difficulty hidden in the apprenticeship who seemed to have no suspense.

After coming out of Wuli Bookstore, Lu Yan began to visit other bookstores in Heishui City one by one, but he visited more than a dozen bookstores in a row, but he still failed to get what he wanted, until he walked into a small "youjian" which couldn't be smaller. bookstore".

This is a small bookstore located in the west of the city. I heard from some other skeletons that it sells some rare tactical books, so Lu Yan came here admiringly. This is almost his last hope. In terms of "Bone Encyclopedia", he really doesn't know how to continue this task.

Walking into "Youjian Bookstore", a small room of [-] square meters is full of books on white wood paper with thick dust. Among the messy piles of books, a white fluffy and furry thing is sitting on a chair dozed off.

It wasn't until Lu Yan yelled three times that the thing covered with white hair stretched out, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes under the thick white eyebrows. It turned out that he was an old human man, except that the eyebrows, hair, and beard on his face were all long. The ones are too long, and they are all piled up together, and the original colors can hardly be seen.

"Boss, I want to buy a book called Baigupedia, do you have it?" Lu Yan guessed that this old man was just a slave of a certain skeleton who kept watch over the store, but he called him boss to save time.

The old man probably has bad ears, so he said hesitantly: "Ah, what books are you talking about? The books are all here. You can look for them yourself."

Depressedly, Lu Yan picked up a few books and brushed away the dust: "Bone Strengthening Technique", "On the Function of Soul Gap in Siege", "Comparison of Soul-Inducing Water and Food and Grass"...

They are all familiar bibliographies. Lu Yan has read them all day today. There are only a few tactical books that the skeletons in Heishui City are interested in. There is nothing he is looking for.

After searching for a long time, I couldn't find it. In desperation, Lu Yan was about to leave, but unwillingly, he opened the cloth to the old man for the last time, and shouted: "Boss, this book—Bone Encyclopedia— Have it?"

"Oh - this book, yes, of course!" The old man's dry and hoarse voice sounded as beautiful as the sound of heaven to Lu Yan.
