Chapter 122 Getting a Newcomer
At this moment, Master Anmeng had other interests. He raised an eyebrow and squinted at Pollock, "You said you were unhappy with her, how unhappy is it?"

"It was a hard fight."

"Who wins and who loses?"

Pollock scratched his face, "Well, a tie."

"No." Master An Meng chuckled, "You hesitated, she must have the upper hand, you don't want to admit that you lost to a woman."

"I let her do it. She played cheap tricks, and I don't want to spend with her forever."

"All right, all right, stop arguing, even if what you said is right, you let it go." Master Anmeng snickered, today is really a happy day.

Pollock slumped his shoulders in frustration, rather depressed.

Barry gave a sympathetic glance, then couldn't stop laughing along with his Master.

Pollock saw the unfinished snacks in the picnic basket. He floated across and took a slightly fried sandwich wrapped in egg wash. The sweetness and umami enhance the level of taste.

Pollock swallowed one piece in two or three mouthfuls, and was about to reach out to take another piece when Void suddenly stood up vigilantly and turned to look at a piece of water and grass in front of him. Connected, there are many waterways in the middle, connected to various small streams and tributaries, but even if you can walk by land, people with a normal mind will not want to walk to the water's edge at the farthest end. Boating is the fastest way.

"Is there something in the water plants?" Master An Meng looked over, but he saw nothing except a piece of water plants dancing in the wind.After leaving the land, the vigilance of earth mages also dropped.

"It seems that someone is spying on us." Fortunately, there is still the all-powerful wind, "The water plants are too dense, and we can't find them for a while."

"You're still standing here, so there shouldn't be any danger. Go and have a look?"

"Okay."

Pollock turned around and packed up the picnic basket and put it in a corner of the boat. The two old men sat down and left the middle of the cabin to put down the fish and fishing rods. Then Pollock gently pushed the boat with the wind and followed behind him to The patch of water and grass wobbled closer.

When they reached the shore, Master Ammon used magic to harden the slippery mud and made a small place where he could step ashore. Pollock landed early and stretched out his hands to help the two old people get off the boat.

As soon as he stood on the land, Master Anmeng's instinct came back. He released the ground auditory technique and swept it lightly, and immediately knew the exact location of the voyeur that Pollock had found, and the three of them came to each other with the ground auditory technique.

It was a dirty woman with a turban on her head and a terrified face. She was completely sitting in the water plants with a piece of white rhizome biting in her mouth. With one hand tightly holding the scarf to keep it from being blown away by the wind, the other hand is clutching a handful of wet mud, giving people the feeling that she will throw people all over her if she doesn't speculate.

The three people who were greatly surprised looked at each other. Everyone knew that Fabao Town was poorer than a beggar as a whole, but looking at the overall image of the townspeople and the villagers of Salter Village, they still knew that I have never seen such a clean and dirty woman in this area.

Pollock quietly erected a wind barrier before asking, "Hey, who are you? Do you know where this is?"

The woman didn't say a word at first, but her eyes widened. After a while, as if she had just heard someone talking to her, she suddenly let out a sharp gasp, causing the three men to take two steps back in fright.

After spitting out the root in her mouth, the woman let go of her hand holding the wet mud, raised her arm tremblingly, pointed at Pollock and the three of them, and said in a soft voice, "You are magicians."

"Yes, we are magicians. Who are you? What are you doing here?" Pollock took a closer look at the other party. The clothes were still intact, there was no damage, and there were shoes on the feet.

"My brother has been to school and learned magic." The woman answered irrelevantly.

"Huh?!" The men couldn't help but take another step forward while being surprised.

Regardless of whether the magic apprentices have completed their studies or not, as long as they have this experience, their family members belong to the peripheral population of the magic circle. Master Anmeng immediately threw the honesty spell.

"Son, tell me, what's your name, and why are you here?" Master Anmeng spoke slowly and kindly, and used a little earth element to give her a little coercion, and released the breath of the earth in conjunction with it. This dazed and nervous woman can calm down and talk.

The woman was immersed in the fragrant smell of the soil without any resistance, her expression was dazed and her eyes were hazy, but it could be seen that she had indeed relaxed, and the hand that was holding on to the scarf was involuntarily let go, and the scarf was blown off by the wind. When she was doing her hairstyle, the men gasped in unison.

The woman's hair looks like it has been chewed by a dog, and it is messily cut to the length of the ears, and only the left side has hair, and the right side is completely shaved, commonly known as the yin and yang head.

Probably awakened by the surprised voices of the men, the woman touched the top of her head subconsciously, and found that the scarf had fallen off. She screamed and hurriedly looked for the scarf, put it on tightly again, and then raised her eyes to look at people.

"My name is Bei Rui, and my younger brother's name is Sana. I remember that he studied fire magic, but he rarely came back. Everyone regarded him as a monster. When he dropped out of school, everyone laughed at him. Now he lives in other places. I came back once years ago, left me some money, said I was doing well, and took my parents away. My husband refused to go with him, so I stayed with my husband in the village. Now that he is dead, they Said it was because I offended the Lord and was punished by the Lord, so I have no husband and no children. I want to burn me to sacrifice to the Lord, and ask the Lord for forgiveness. I heard that a magician came to the town, and I escaped while they were not paying attention. , I want to go to that magician to save me, but I'm lost." Under the effect of the candor technique, Bai Rui spoke the truth, and the men's faces were full of sympathy, and pity overflowed.

"What do you want to do after you find that magician? Do you know your brother's address? Want to reunite with the family?" Pollock slowly squatted down, so that he was at eye level with Bai Rui.

"I don't know. I just want to survive and nothing else. I don't want to be burned to death. Is it disrespectful to the Lord?"

"Of course not. The Lord never accepts such sacrifices. They just want to kill you legally in the name of the Lord, because your brother has learned magic and is a traitor." Pollock spoke softly, and the woman lay down, He covered his face with his hands and wailed loudly, the cry was shrill and ear-piercing.

The men retreated to one side for a while to discuss, Master Anmeng rowed back first, and Pollock waited for the woman to cry enough before she returned to the guild.

Pollock accompanied the old man back to the water's edge first, helped them into the boat, and then pushed their boat back to the middle of the water with the wind, and watched Barry's skillful oars and paddles before returning to the woman, constantly Talk to her, distract her, and wait patiently for her to regain control.

Master Anmeng also used a bit of wind to push the boat back to the shore of the pond quickly. Ahuang, who had played enough in the forest, just came back and was sent by Bai Tongtong to wait for them on the trestle bridge. It used its teeth and claws to hold Barry The rope thrown up stabilized the swaying boat, allowing the two elderly people to safely step onto the steps of the trestle bridge and return to the shore.

"Thank you, cute little thing, take us back to meet your master, she has a new guest tonight." Master An Meng resisted the urge to reach out and touch Ah Huang.

Ah Huang growled and led the way.

When they set foot on the ground, Ah Huang arrived at the gate of the guild with a ground evasion technique.

Harding was asleep in the guild hall, and it was lazily motionless when people came in. Master Anmeng looked for Bai Tongtong when he entered the door, and Barley told the servants to fasten the boat and bring the things on the boat. They caught a big fish.

Bernard then called some farmers to get things, and Ah Huang went upstairs to call Bai Tongtong down.

Bypassing Harding who was in the way, ignoring Ah Huang and getting into a mess with Harding, Bai Tongtong walked towards Master Anmeng, "Is there something important? Master Anmeng?"

"You have a new guest tonight."

"Huh? Who is it?"

Before Master Anmeng had time to answer, there was a wave of wind elements outside the door, and Harding stopped fighting with Ah Huang, and hurried to the door.

Pollock walked in slowly, stretched out his hand to touch Harding's head, and gave Bai Tongtong a mean smile. Master Anmeng and Barry exchanged a hopeless look, waiting to see if this kid would be fattened by Bai Tongtong one day. beat.

Ah Huang rushed outside, and then heard the woman screaming in panic, the manservant ran out to check, but Bai Tongtong ignored the outside, she folded her hands, her eyes turned on Pollock and Master Anmeng.

"Let me tell you, although the two of you seem to be strangers at each other's corners, in fact, you two know each other and have a close relationship, right?" Bai Tongtong stood between the two of them and asked affirmatively.

"Tongtong, why do you say that?" Master Anmeng looked innocent.

"Master Anmeng, if you pretend to be stupid with me, you will eat bread tonight." There was such a big commotion when Pollock appeared, and this big wolf, which archmage saw the instant wolf for the first time Will you calm down as if you didn't see it?

"This kid's name is Pollock. He's a smuggler. He's the best at flattering. He often sends me some delicious foreign food. That's the only friendship I have with him." Sold it.

Pollock bowed his head and rested his forehead. Harding glanced at him sympathetically and licked his hand.

"Just this little friendship? It's enough for you to cover for him." Bai Tongtong rolled her eyes, she had a premonition that Master Anmeng came here for a different purpose.

"Ahem, I don't care about the grievances between the two of you, as long as I don't delay my meal. That poor woman outside is still waiting for you to deal with. She came to you specially. Unfortunately, she lost her way and went to the water's edge. Fortunately, she was picked up by us. Come back." After finishing speaking, Master Anmeng called Barley to go upstairs to rest, and left the rest to Bai Tongtong.

Bai Tongtong turned his attention to Pollock, and he carried Harding's collar and whistled to the morning room.

The male servant outside finally led the woman in. She was terrified by Ah Huang's sudden appearance, her legs were so soft that she couldn't stand up on the ground, and she was so dirty that no one was willing to help her, so she had to wait. She calmed herself down slowly.

The farmers who went to get things from the water also came back together. The two of them carried the big fish, yelled excitedly, entered through the small door of the private land, and threw it into the kitchen, attracting the women there again. With a burst of exclamation, Abel ran across the restaurant to the hall to report.

"Oh, Miss, Master Anmeng caught such a big fish! Oh, my God!" Abel covered his mouth and exclaimed when he saw the strange woman, and the servants stayed away, not wanting to get dirty new clothes.

"Abel, go find her some clothes, order the kitchen to boil hot water, get some bread, and let her eat something to take a bath." No matter what this woman's background is, it's always right to keep someone to stay for one night.

"What's your name, how did you come here? Where did you live?" Ah Huang returned to Bai Tongtong's side, and at the same time as she asked the question, it threw the candid spell.

"My name is Bei Rui. I am a villager in the church village. My husband died. They said that I brought bad luck. They wanted to burn my priest to death. I heard that a magician came here, so I escaped. Please help I, I don't want to die." Bei Rui knelt at Bai Tongtong's feet, tears washed the mud on her face into gullies.

The servants present covered their mouths in surprise, Abel clutched the handkerchief tightly, and walked through the dining room to the kitchen with the corner of his mouth pursed to convey the order.

"Why are you so sure that I will save you?"

"My eldest brother is also a magician. His name is Sana. He is the only child in the town who has gone out for so many years. An old mage came by chance and discovered his talent. He took him away after asking my parents for permission. However, his talent was limited, and he dropped out of school after a few years of enrollment. At that time, when he returned home, everyone around him made fun of him. He couldn't bear it, so he went to other places to make a living on his own. When he came back for the last time, he took his parents and friends away. Two younger brothers, I was already married at that time, and my husband refused to leave, so I had to stay. Later, the harvest in the field was not good, and I couldn’t pay the taxes, so I had to sell the land to the church and work as a tenant farmer in the church’s village , Life was even more difficult there. My husband couldn't bear the ridicule of the villagers, and sometimes he would come back and beat me when he got angry. Now he is dead. People in the village say that a traitor in my family brought all the bad luck. Burn me and beg the Lord's forgiveness."

There was silence in the hall, and everyone felt pity.

"and then?"

"Then? During the few months when my husband was seriously ill, he heard that the Magician's Guild was under construction. When he died, everyone was talking about the arrival of the magician. People in the village were very scared. They hoped that after I was burned to death, they would get the Lord Forgiveness, get the magicians out of this town, and give them a peaceful life."

"do you have any kid?"

"No, I have never had children. This is where they make fun of us. They say that we must have offended the Lord, and He has sinned against us. My husband doesn't like to hear this. Every time he hears it, he beats me when he comes home. They Just always say it in front of him, and I will be beaten every day.”

"Then after your husband died, they would treat you badly. You escaped and hoped that I would protect you, but how did you go to the water's edge? They picked you up again?"

"I escaped in the middle of the night. I only know that the approximate location is the original Earl's Manor, but I have never been here before, and I don't know the way. After dawn, I was already trapped in the water grass. Tian didn't go out."

"Then what if you're hungry?"

"Eat water grass roots when you are hungry. They are sweet and taste good. I am afraid that someone will come looking for them. I hide in the water plants during the day. In the afternoon, I heard someone talking on the water surface, so I curiously stretched my head out to look. There are so many magicians here. They are so powerful! They found me all at once! And they found me!"

"What you met was an archmage who even used the honorific title of His Majesty. How dare those ignorant villagers say that you brought bad luck? I don't know how lucky you are. The archmage just came here for vacation today, and the boats were specially made for you. He bought it, and I will bring you back when I go fishing in the afternoon, you are born to be a member of our magic circle, and other people who don't know how to cherish you, you just let them die."

Bei Rui cried again and fell to the ground, kissing Bai Tongtong's shoes excitedly, "I would like to do everything for you, please take me in."

"If you want me to take you in, what will you do? Servants and peasant women, I have enough here."

"I know how to make wine, weave, and make candles. I have been doing this in the village. Although they scold me, look down on me, and instigate my husband to beat me every day, my wine-making skills are the best. They are reluctant to drive me out of the village. until my husband died."

"What kind of wine? Fruit wine or ale?"

"Ale, beer made with hops, I don't need to weigh it with my hands, and I can match the proportions well. Others have to use a balance to weigh left and right, and the calculations are often wrong. My brother taught me a little arithmetic. I will Forget it, I won’t make a mistake with those numbers, I can brew anything thick or light.”

"Okay, I'll go buy wine-making equipment in a few days, and you can make wine for me."

"Thank you! Thank you, sir! Thank you!" Bei Rui was about to kiss Bai Tongtong's shoes again. Excited, she let go of the hand holding the scarf, and the scarf fluttered down, causing the hall to breathe.

Bailey screamed, grabbing the hood and wrapping herself tightly.

Bai Tongtong didn't react too much, she sent someone to call some maids over, Abel had been looking for someone to get the clothes for so long, God knows if he was gossiping in the kitchen.

A male servant was about to pass by when he saw Abel holding a full set of clothes in both hands, followed by two maids pushing the dining cart, "Miss, everything is ready, the kitchen has boiled two large pots of water, and there are two pots Stand by."

"Prepare another razor, shave all of Bei Rui's hair, and massage her scalp with essential oil to make her hair grow back." Bai Tongtong motioned Bei Rui to untie her scarf and show it to Abel. She lowered her eyes, feeling ashamed And ashamed to do so.

Abel nodded, suppressing an almost screaming exclamation, and called Berri to go with her, while the two maids handed over the dining car to the footmen, and each of them would push the dining car into the morning room to deliver tea to Pollock. Another male servant took the tea tray up to the second floor and sent it to Master Anmeng.

Grabbing Ah Huang's head, Bai Tongtong made everyone else disperse, and she walked into the morning room.

Pollock sat sideways on a window sill with one foot still on it, drinking tea and admiring the afterglow of the setting sun outside. Harding lay at his feet, patted his tail on the ground, feeling very comfortable.

Ah Huang bounced up to Harding, and used his paws to pick out its tail. Harding didn't lift his head, didn't even bother to look at him, and flicked his tail back and forth to amuse the cat.
