"Speaking of which, you don't have to work now. How come you have time to come to my place?" Ai Wen didn't want to struggle with her on this issue anymore. This kind of problem always gets more troublesome the more you explain it, so he immediately switched to another one. topic. "Well, I've been working night shifts recently, and I don't work much during the day I worked late yesterday, and now I just woke up and have nothing to do, so I came to see you, brother. Well, don't you welcome me? Me?" Emma gave him an ambiguous look, but she didn't hold on to him. Instead, she followed his words and looked at the food on the side pitifully. Looking at the dinner plate made Alvin feel funny, and a warm current seemed to flow through him. "Well, of course you can come see me anytime. I'm just afraid it will affect your work. You haven't had enough breakfast yet. I have no appetite now, so I'll leave all these to you." Ivan laughed. road. "If we were on earth, these words would naturally make people feel uncomfortable. Why can't I just eat your leftovers?" But here, in this barren underground world, food is quite precious, so wasting it is a very shameful behavior, especially for the little devil. From Alvin's personal experience over the past year, the little devil is completely a person who can never have enough to eat. A race of losers. Once the little devils feel full, that's when they can almost evolve into intermediate devils. Now Emma's accumulated energy is naturally far from enough. When Ivan said this, he really cared about her. "Then thank you, brother!" Emma was overjoyed and not polite. She picked up the dinner plate and sat next to Alvin to eat. Alvin smiled bitterly and touched Emma's head. Ever since he recognized this cheap sister with amazing potential, he didn't get much advantage, but it seemed like he had become a victim. It was like he had stepped on dog shit, and bad luck began to come to him. , and I don¡¯t know if it was God¡¯s punishment for his bad intentions when he worshiped him. After sitting with Emma for a while, the anxiety and dullness in Alvin's heart gradually disappeared, and his mind began to become clearer. For the first time in the past two days, Aiwen truly thought about his current situation soberly, and jumped out of the delusion of being victimized. From the actual situation, if Maize really cannot come back, then because of the money he has not yet received, With a tutoring fee of more than 100 gold coins, one would indeed face quite a crisis. Even if it was not the worst kind of life-threatening disaster, it would still be a lot of suffering. Judging from Peter's attitude, the possible crisis seems to be so big that as a demon noble, he does not dare to make any promises. Will these upper-class figures in the underground world become obsessed with a little devil just because of an indescribable tutoring fee? This is too low a price! Is there some other reason that I don't know about? Ivan feels that he has been too self-aggrandizing in recent days. He is just a little devil. Although he has the soul of a time traveler, his strength is there, that is, he is weak, too weak. This is of course a shortcoming, because any force can easily deal with him. This is also an advantage. Precisely because he can be easily dealt with, he is unlikely to be dealt with immediately. This is a conclusion that sounds very contradictory, but it is not difficult to understand. After all, it is best to keep a guy who can be killed at any time. Only if he is alive can he continue to be used. If he dies, there will be no more places to use. not enough. But to be honest, it is a fact that Ivan's current strength is weak. Even if the stormy waves rushing towards him do not intend to kill him, if Ivan himself is not strong enough and cannot withstand those tossings, he will be defeated first. Woolen cloth? After thinking about it, Ivan secretly resented that he possessed the body of a little devil and that it took him a year to be promoted to an intermediate devil. He found that he was back to where he was, that is, breaking the seal. Balrog's pebbles, see if you can get any strength help from them - it doesn't need to be too strong, just enough to be able to protect yourself in critical situations, or even only one use. After thinking about everything clearly, Ivan felt that there was no way to continue waiting here. It was time to go back to the room to prepare and try to find a way to make himself as safe as possible after breaking through the pebble. . "Emma, ??do you know my master?" Ivan hesitated and spoke. "Oh, when your master came to the blacksmith shop where I worked to discuss tutoring, I met him from a distance in the attic, so I think we know him!" Emma replied without raising her head. "Then you should know what he looks like. That's great. Can you help me look here for a while? I have something to do when I go back to my room. Uh, if my master comes, please come and notify me. ¡ª¡ªYou should still remember my master¡¯s appearance, right?¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Emma was speechless when she heard that she was actually being arrested and put down her plate reluctantly: ¡°That¡¯s all, who told me to eat people? You're short-tongued, so feel free to go back to your room.?My ability to recognize people is first-class, I can't misunderstand you. Besides, your master has an outstanding appearance and temperament, so he is easy to recognize. But if you ask me to watch for you, what are you going to do? " "I haven't slept all night, so of course I have to go back and catch up on my sleep for a while. I have to leave a good impression on Master when we meet again after a long absence. I'll trouble you here! "Ivan smiled apologetically at her, patted the stunned Emma, ??and turned around to go back to the room. "It turned out to be a back-up. I thought the brother I recognized was a young hero among the little devils, but why? I have such a weird hobby" Emma was stunned for a moment when she heard such a shameless reason. It wasn't until Alvin's figure disappeared around the corner of the hall that she realized what she was doing. A girl murmured sadly. Arriving in the room, Ivan began to look around with his eyes, looking for things that could be used. Finally, he set his sights on the metal round bowl containing food on the table. In this underground world, perhaps because the individual is too strong. Because it is strong, or perhaps because there are ruins everywhere, and there are generally a lot of metal products in the ruins, and the materials are relatively easy to obtain, fragile tableware such as pottery and porcelain is not popular in this world, but sturdier metal tableware is popular. , The large bowl for food in Aiwen's room was made of pure metal. Aiwen took out all the food in the metal bowl, and then took out the pebbles from his pocket and put them in. The side of the metal bowl was a bit big, and the pebbles were not placed there. It's not stable inside, but it doesn't matter. You can knock it tighter. Ivan found a piece of granite to support the table legs, and knocked on the surface of the metal bowl. Finally, he transformed the metal bowl into a complete pebble. A simple metal box that is wrapped and leaves only a small opening at the top. That opening is reserved for hammers or rocks to hit the pebbles. If necessary, it can be covered with a flat-bottomed metal dinner plate. If so, no matter what comes out after the pebbles are broken, as long as he feels that there is danger, Ivan will cover the dinner plate, put a stone on it and run away. Is he afraid that it will immediately destroy the metal cage and catch up? After finishing this arduous work, Ivan wiped his sweat and was panting. Before he could appreciate the results carefully, Emma's voice came from outside: "Brother Ivan, are you in there? Someone is coming from the city hall. I have something to do with you! " "Is there someone from the city hall? "Ai Wen suddenly felt something in his heart when he heard this. Before Maize came back, the people from the city hall came first. This was not a good sign. Looking back at the simple metal box on the table, I Wen put it together with the pebbles inside. They hid under the bed together, then quickly tidied the room, wiped away the stone foam on the floor, and then opened the door. "What is this?" "Evan came out, and under the guidance of Emma who was waiting outside, he came to the lobby of the hotel again. A young magician dressed as a city hall employee was standing there with a tray filled with It is a small piece of strange and familiar limbs padded with red cloth. It is strange because it has a hemispherical shape at the end, a cylindrical shape in the middle, and a rough fracture at the back. It would appear to any normal race. , there would be such an inexplicable limb. The reason why it is familiar is because in this year, for a month, Ivan has faced this thing every day. This is Maize's broken arm, from the section that has been amputated. The limb was amputated again. "Oh, Master Maize's apprentice is here, Ivan Jin, it's you, am I right? "The visitor spoke, but there was no hint of respect in his tone. Also, unlike those young magicians who don't know a word of Chinese characters, he is a staff member of the city hall and a professional, with both knowledge and status. He is far above Ivan, so there is no reason to respect him. But if you don¡¯t respect Ivan, you must at least respect Maize who is standing behind Ivan. He just stands in the lobby of the hotel carelessly, not caring about the creatures coming and going. With his eyes and the limbs in the tray, could it be that Maize really had an accident? "Then, on behalf of the Bone Cage City City Hall, I want to tell you some unfortunate news. This morning, a team came back from the Death Cave? The adventurers brought back a broken limb from an area where a battle broke out. According to them, there were still some broken clothes, broken bones of the undead, and other more finely divided flesh and blood left at the scene. The lie detection magic showed that they were not lying, so we initially judged that Archmage Maize was attacked while fighting a powerful undead. As a result, he blew himself up and died after being defeated. " "My masterthat's all he has left?" "Ivan looked at the small limb in the tray with some difficulty. "I also feel very sorry for what happened to Archmage Maize" The young magician said this, but Ivan took it from him. There is no trace of regret on his expression, but there is a lot of schadenfreude. ¡°¡Thank you very much for the notice from the city hall. "Emma next to her tugged a few times, and Alvin finally came to his senses, and took the tray from the other person's hand with emotion.Although he had already had a premonition about Ma Ze's death, once it came true, it was a bit difficult for him to accept it. After all, they had lived together for a year, and no matter how cold-blooded they were, they would still have some feelings. "By the way, there is one more thing. You haven't gone to the city hall to collect the tutoring fee of one hundred gold coins after tax that Master Maize arranged for you during his lifetime, but" Young The magic demon suddenly lowered his voice: "With your strength, you can't keep that money, so for the sake of the dead Archmage Maize, I would like to give you a piece of advice. If you don't want to cause trouble, you'd better Give up this money! " "Thank you for your advice, sir, I will remember it!" Aiwen nodded with a dull expression Finally, trouble is coming!
