Vol 6 Chapter 59: Shimmer in the hole

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the original wizard!
John quietly lit his blue flame and said with bright eyes.
"Why is that?"
Klester asked puzzledly.
John glared, and pulled Kleist into his ears: "We came out of the pharmacy, why were we hunted down? A gold coin is worth one hundred calories of rough land, even if it’s a good land by the river, it’s 30 acres. Money Touching, we first give Gal’s remaining sixteen silver coins to his family. As for the gold coin, we will gradually give them a workaround.
If we give Gal’s salary to them, everyone in the village thinks that we are righteous, but if the gold coin is given out, good fortune and misfortune are unpredictable! "
Kleist also woke up like a dream, and the scene of being hunted down is right in front of him. The entire village has 1,500 acres of rough farmland and 370 acres of fertile farmland. Three gold coins can buy almost one-tenth of the land. , This is really a huge sum of money.
"It is true. Even in a decent neighborhood like the third block of Hall City, one gold coin is enough to buy a two-bedroom apartment in a four-story apartment. If it is a more remote block, you can buy three or four rooms. ."
Kleist couldn't help sighing. This is almost the income of trackers who have not eat or drink for more than ten years. Hall City is a big port, and trackers usually carry goods part-time. It can be said that all hard work makes money. More one line.
It's just that the locals in Hall City don't really appreciate this kind of work. They prefer to work as government employees, or as doctors, lawyers and teachers in the city hall, which is considered the most decent job.
If you are literate, you can also work as a clerk in a major company, or you can start a small business yourself. In short, it is all labor-free work.
All kinds of service or manual labor such as moving bricks, doing miscellaneous work, and servants are all outsiders.
As for sailors, as long as they are experienced, it is too difficult to get into the trade, and it is almost impossible for them to have this kind of opportunity.
Even if a tracker eats frugally, it takes fifteen years to save a gold coin. This kind of work is a standard youth meal. A strong young man in his twenties will not be able to do it until he is thirty-five. Up.
People over forty years old are not accepted here at all.
If you can buy three or four houses for retirement in remote neighborhoods if you save money, if you spend it all, you might freeze to death on the streets when you grow old.
Having said that, the overall income of the tracker is considered to be medium in Hall City, while the sailor is the standard medium and upper.
Klester said to John: "Anyway, we are right to leave our hometown. Even if there are ten acres of fertile land here, we will earn three or four silver coins a year. Even if it is a hundred acres of fertile land, it is only three or four. The money made by the tracker."
John nodded, then shook his head and said:
"It's still different. After all, Arita eats food, he doesn't necessarily starve to death. The best way for trackers is to work hard to make money and save money. Buy three or four houses in the 789th block. .
But many people do not have this forward-looking attitude at all. They are so busy that they end up starving to death on the streets. "
Klester nodded in sympathy. He was so ineffective in the past. If he hadn't been lucky enough to pick up the ruby, he would be the same in the future.
John continued very transparently: "Do you know why I chose to be an apprentice pharmacist?"
Kleist shook his head. He didn't know why John chose this way. In fact, if he hadn't experienced so much, Kleist wouldn't have thought of learning to read.
The two slowly approached the village. It was noon, and the people in the sun were warm. This was one of the few warm times in winter.
"Because everyone gets sick. On the surface, the tracker's income is pretty good. After a few years of labor, he buys a bungalow in a shabby neighborhood like the Eighth Block. But once he gets sick, it's a devastating blow. The doctor is too expensive. Up.
Actually, what I want to do most is a doctor, but I don’t need to be literate if I want to be a doctor. For decent jobs like senior employees of the city hall, lawyers, doctors, and teachers, which one shouldn’t go to university?
People like us have no chance to go to university for a long time. If we can read and go to an adult elementary school, it’s not bad. "
John sighed. The two had already reached the entrance of the village. Several children were chasing. The old man leaned against the rock at the entrance of the village, resting in the shade of the trees.
"It's John and Klester, they are back."
"It's completely changed, and the clothes are different."
"Where is my brother? Where is my brother Gail?"
...
The old man and the children exclaimed. John and Klester looked at each other and looked at the little boy who resembled Gale with serious and pained expressions.
"Let's go to Gael's first."
Gal's brother kept asking, but the two of them were just silent. There were many people watching the excitement in the village, and they followed him to Gal's house. Some people had a premonition.
Seeing John pull out a gray clay pot from behind, Gal's mother's lips trembled.
Kleist whispered: "Mother Carrie, Gal is dead. Let's go to be sailors together. He died on New Aberdovedo. This is Gal's remaining salary, a total of seventeen silver coins. It's all here."
Gail's mother tremblingly took it and collapsed to the ground. His father's eyes were red and swollen, and his brother stopped smiling.
Gail's mother sobbed for a while, holding the clay pot of ashes and asked weakly, "How did my Gail die?"
When Kleist wanted to speak, John rushed to say: "Gail is sick. You know that the sailor has always had a curse-like illness called sepsis..."
Listening to John's description, Klester's mouth opened unconsciously and closed quickly, confused but afraid to speak.
After the two left Gale's house and dealt with the inquiring villagers, Kleist took John to his room and closed the door.
"John, why did you say that at Gal's house? You know Gal was killed by a monster."
John glared at him, sitting on the edge of the bed and said weakly, "Yes, but if we tell the truth, should we also explain the ruby ​​and the black ginseng?
I say this for the safety of both of us. As for Gail’s gold coin, put it in yours and give it to his family when we can. "
Speaking, John took out the gold coin and handed it to Klester.
The freckles on Klester's face turned faintly red, and he waved his hand and said, "I didn't mean that. You think well John, or you take care of it. What do you think we should do next?"
John leaned forward, pressing his elbows against his thighs and said in a low voice: "We have to find a way to enter the dreamland again, the pure white dreamland, and try hard to pass the trial of gems. Hall City has entered the winter, and there are no ships passing by. Entering the recession season, we will wait for the next spring to go back. It is estimated that the gangsters who died at that time will also fade away.
Taking advantage of this time, I will teach you how to read. I have two books here, which are suitable for literacy. "
John took out two paper books that were somewhat tattered. According to Ace’s observations, the development level of the real-name world is roughly equivalent to that of the previous Western European Renaissance. There are already papermaking and type printing, so John can get two. Books are not uncommon.
"This is an old book I bought with a silver coin. One is "Chronicles of Io Continent" and the other is "Biography of Io Continent." The former focuses on timelines and major events, while the latter focuses on heroes.
Literacy with these two books can not only be literate, but also broaden your knowledge. "
Kleist looked at these two books in awe and eagerness, which represented a field, history and wisdom he had never been to.
In this way, the two began to teach and learn.
When they came to the village, they also brought a lot of changes to this small village. People have more discussions about sailing and diseases.
"Let me say that the sailor's job is really profitable. I have 20 silver coins at a time, which is worth five years of my farming."
"Who wouldn't say? But this life is difficult to get into the business, and second is to have life to make money. You didn't see Gale's death so miserably, this is life money."
"According to me, it's best to go to a tracker. According to John, the hardest work is the most profitable tracker. Pulling the rope to transport goods can be close to a silver coin in a month!
There are at least seven or eight silver coins a year. If you are physically strong and work more, you will have ten silver coins. "
"Indeed, how can farming compare to working in the city, why don't we go together?"
"It's difficult. We can't get out of Rogue Town without the guidance of Baron Roger. If we don't, we will have to serve for 60 days."
"After all, it is better for John and the others. Freedmen are still different from farmers like ours."
Most of the villagers in Luoge Town are farmers. As long as they don't have a guide, they will never leave here for the rest of their lives.
As for John and the others, it was a small number of broken-down residents in Rogge Town who migrated here. As they have a permanent residence, they have the right to move freely.
Three days later, a heavy snow made the whole village white. John and Klester burned a charcoal fire in Klester's home, reading "The Chronicles of Io Continental".
"John, are we really going to Rogue Town when the snow stops?"
While his parents were busy cooking in the kitchen, Klester said in a low voice.
John nodded and said: "Yes, we haven't been able to enter the dream in this period of time. I want to make something to make it easier for us to enter the dream."
Klester nodded, grabbed the ruby ​​through his clothes, and continued reading "The Chronicles of Io Continent".
Among the gems, the consciousness of Ace’s clone was also observing the two. After obtaining the two abilities of detoxification treatment and quick thinking, they were not in a hurry to use their abilities. Kleist almost exposed his abilities several times, and was even more affected by John. stop.
This makes Ace more satisfied with John. It is possible for a prudent talent to survive, and to survive in the future.
As for dreams, the dreams of Kleist and John seem to be too active and difficult to link. Ace's power has been suppressed too much, and it has not succeeded several times. It consumes excessive power and intends to slow down.
After another two days, the snow had already stopped, but the snow on the road did not melt, it was white, and few people went out.
John and Klester had prepared four wooden boards with smooth undersides in the early morning. They were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes. They stepped on their snowboards and headed towards Rogue Town.
The weather is too cold, even ox carts and donkey carts rarely go out. In this kind of snow and ice environment, skis are the best choice.
There was no word all the way, in the town of Rogge in winter, there were few pedestrians and a lot of beasts. Skiing along the dirt road to Rogge town, the sun had not yet reached the middle of the sky.
Although the town of Rogge is called a town, it is actually a cross street that crosses the north and the south. It is not very prosperous. John is familiar with it. He dragged Klester around and bought what he wanted in the only pharmacy.
"This is a dried oxblue tongue flower neck. It is generally used to soothe the nerves. The nobles like to take it before going to bed. But in fact, if this kind of thing burns, the smoke it produces is more effective."
John tied the neck of the oxblue tongue and said softly.
"This thing can make us dream again?"
Klester asked in a low voice.
John nodded, and the two slid back to the village.
At night, in Kleist's room, John slept with him.
A pottery dish was placed next to the bed with sparks faintly, and the smoke spreading in the room, the two people gradually fell asleep after smelling the smell.
The ruby ​​on Klester's chest flashed, suddenly blooming.
"Pure white, bleach the sheets, white the walls, whiten my hair, whiten my skin."
John muttered inexplicably, suddenly white and broken, and he and Klester entered the woodland late at night.
John was dressed in a white shirt and round glasses with metal rims. He looked gentle, while Kleist was wearing thick armor, fully armed, and holding an epee in his hand.
Two jewel fragments appeared above their heads, one azure blue and the other fiery red.
Klester touched his body in surprise, patted his armor, and made a bang.
"Why do I wear armor? It's strange."
John shook his head, he didn't know this, looking up at the sky, the silver moon hung high.
"I know this dream. A road winding on the top of a mountain, with a bright silver atmosphere, go my brother, and may the gems protect me."
After he said that, he opened the bushes, closed his eyes, and stepped forward, staggering along the way, constantly scratching his feet and knees.
Kleist followed John and looked around vigilantly. He buzzed and roared around him, and there seemed to be black shadows spreading their teeth and claws.
Walking more and more eagerly, occasionally a black shadow pounces, the jewel fragments on the heads of Kleist and John will shine, dispelling the shadow.
Finally, Kleist saw a faint light. It was a tall building, towering like a church spire, and the windows shimmered.
Black lichen, painted with eye signs.
"Are we going in?"
Kleist touched John in front of him and asked in a low voice.
"No, bypass it. This is the legendary rotating church. You can get something here, but you can never pass the test. The test must be at the pure white gate."
John said affirmatively.
Ace peeped at them quietly, and in the process, there was a very strange feeling, as if the dreams and a certain reality in this real-name world met.
Ace didn't interfere. For the first time, he realized that John's dream may not be a complete fantasy, or it may be a reflection of a mysterious place.
"At this time, the laws of dreams seem to be extremely vast. I can feel that if I can really swallow and master the laws of dreams in the real-name world..."
There was endless reverie in Ace's heart at this moment. He did not interfere in the dream, allowing John to map out the mystery and peep into the mystery little by little.
John closed his eyes, the blue gems hung high, his heart as clear as a mirror. Following the unknown guidance, he stepped out step by step, slowly out of the woodland.
In Ace’s God’s perspective, the edge of the dream began to expand, and the resonance mapping with the mystery was strengthened. The woodland had passed, the sky and the sun were in the middle, and the warm sun was shining. John with closed eyes opened his eyes and looked not far away. The majestic white door, kneeling slowly.
This is a white land, or a desert, without wind, and the ground is extremely fine white sand. Klester had to follow the example and knelt down with John.
"Great gem, from here we step into the pure white desert, stepping on the white bones, walking with the dead. Please have mercy, and give us our real name in front of the ivory gate."
The mapping with the mystery is getting stronger and stronger, like a projection, a bit of coldness, the figure of the dead looming, and the mist is steaming.
The two took a deep breath, and stood up while supporting each other. Klester looked at the silhouettes of the dead, whose thick armor could not withstand the cold in his heart.
"Is this part of the test?"
Shaking, Klester said with some fear.
John took a deep breath and said calmly: "Yes, don't be afraid. I have seen it from "Locksmiths’ Dream: Glimmer in the Hole". This should be a reflection of the Mansu, and we are not qualified to enter the real manga. Su, here is just a mapping, it is the test of the great existence living in Mansu.
Use our courage and the healthy body of living people to overcome all this. "
As he spoke, a flame rose above his head, and Ace observed with interest that as a foreign native "god ~EbookFREE.me~ Ace knew no more than John.
At this moment, Ace was very interested in the book "Locksmith's Dream: Glimmer in the Hole" that John always mentioned, and was even more curious about Morton Bookstore, where the book was sold. The mysterious power of this world constitutes its own system. It's amazing.
The dream played an important role in it, making Ace more excited. He knew what it meant.
With the power to understand everything, Ais keenly discovered that these dead are actually bubbles, just reflecting the traces of the mystery. As long as the passers are healthy and not overly fearful, there is basically no problem.
The two shivered and kept reading the gem blessing, and finally passed through the layers of fog and came to the pure white door full of corpses.
The whole door was carved from pure white ivory, looking noble and gorgeous. The dead swarmed and swarmed into it. A large number of corpses had lost their flesh and blood, only pure white bones.
"John, it's so cold, so cold. Are we going to go ahead?"
Klester's teeth trembled and his heavy armor creaked.
