1097, Russell the Wizard
Half of the streets in the town are still dirt roads, Ren Xiaosu can imagine how muddy the streets would be if it was raining.
There is no sewer system in this town. Sitting on the horse, Ren Xiaosu even saw a subject walking out of the town carrying feces, and could smell the stench from a long distance away.
The hair of the subjects was neatly combed, but it was extremely greasy. Ren Xiaosu could roughly understand that even though Mego used the first year's tax to dig a well, the town's water resources were still in short supply.
Back then in the market town, he and Xiao Liuyuan were in the same situation.
The subjects kneeled on both sides of the street to welcome the return of the wizard. To them, the wizard is a god and the most sacred person in this kingdom.
From the point of view of clothing, here is also very different from Middle Earth. Women basically wear cake skirts, and lace is exposed at the neckline and cuffs, and slender waists are wrapped around the waist.
Men are relatively ordinary, most of them are wearing worn-out shirts with a short vest wrapped around them.
"I didn't dress like that in the early days, and the retro style has been popular since more than 20 years ago," Mego explained to Ren Xiaosu with a smile, "How is it? Is it a little different from your fortress?"
"There is indeed a big difference," Ren Xiaosu nodded.
The knights sent the two of them respectfully to the Wizard Tower and then evacuated. However, Mego was worried that a bounty hunter would kill them, so she simply ordered the two knights to guard outside the Wizard Tower.
Not only that, he also told Li Guoguo that after the knights sent him and Liu Ting back to their respective families, the Li family had to send some more people.
Ren Xiaosu was a little helpless. With such security measures, the bounty hunter might not have the guts to come to the Wizard Tower to assassinate Mego, and he might have to work hard to lure him out.
But one thing to say, Ren Xiaosu admired Mego's fear of death.
There is really no shame in being afraid of death, a person has only one life, and it is the most stupid thing to die for something that is not worth it.
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu wanted to kidnap Mego to the Northwest of Daxing even more.
Walking into the wizard's tower, Ren Xiaosu originally thought that Mego hadn't come back for two years, so the place must be full of dust.
But after entering, I suddenly found that there were more than 20 middle-aged women cleaning the floor in the wizard's tower.
clean up.
"I really underestimated your power in Yorkshire," Ren Xiaosu said with emotion.
Meg laughed and said, "There are still many things you underestimate."
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu didn't blame Mego for underestimating Mego. After all, as a wizard, Mego took two servants to investigate, and didn't even have a decent servant, and then he was as embarrassed as he was on the way back.
It was really difficult for Ren Xiaosu to associate this kind of person with a big shot, so much so that Ren Xiaosu even underestimated the entire wizarding organization, and always felt that the other party's wizard status was not that high.
And this wizard's tower is magnificent, and many decorations are made of gold paste.
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "Since you have such power, why didn't you bring some followers and servants to the fortress?"
Meg sighed, "Going there will be suffering. You see, these people work so hard for a wage. How can I take them to a dangerous place like the border? My abilities simply cannot keep them.”
Ren Xiaosu sighed, "What a fool."
When the fortress is invaded, everyone will subconsciously turn everyone in the wizarding country into evil, which is human nature.
Just like when Ren Xiaosu faced the expeditionary army back then, he would make the other party evil in his heart.
But in fact, no matter where you go, there will be good people and bad people. Mago is undoubtedly a typical example of good people in the wizarding country, and the expeditionary army's southward movement is also caused by the deteriorating environment in the north and the flickering of black robes.
It wasn't that Ren Xiaosu was trying to excuse the wizards and savages. If he really wanted to start another war, even if he knew that the other party was a good person, he would still kill them. The expeditionary army would come a hundred times, and the result would be the same.
A middle-aged woman came up to Mego with a fluffy skirt and said with a smile, "Master Mego, you are back. I'll ask the servant to prepare dinner for you."
Ren Xiaosu looked at the other party. This "housekeeper" was not from the Middle Earth. His blond hair and blue eyes were full of exotic charm, but he spoke in Chinese, which made him feel a little bit out of place. He always felt that the world was a little unreal...
At this time Mego said, "Okay, prepare dinner as soon as possible, is the hot water ready, I'll take a shower first."
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I have always prepared it. What do you want to eat at night?"
Mego thought for a while and said, "Fish-flavored shredded pork, mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, hot and sour cabbage..."
Ren Xiaosu "???"
It's all the same, shouldn't wizards eat something different? Why is the food taste of this wizarding country also assimilated by Middle-earth?
Mego looked at Ren Xiaosu, "I'm afraid we have to wait for a while for dinner, why don't we go take a shower first?"
Ren Xiaosu frowned immediately, "Speak clearly, and I'll hit someone if you talk like that again."
"Don't think about it," Mego said angrily, "This wizard's tower is just a bathroom () bathroom, I didn't say I want to stay in the same bathroom as you!"
"I won't wash it yet," Ren Xiaosu shook his head, "Find out the book we talked about earlier, I want to read that book."
"Okay, whatever you want," Mego shrugged and asked the servant to fetch a thick book from a tall bookshelf. He patted the dust on it and said, "This is it, Wizard Chronicle." , which was published years ago, but I can’t find this book now.”
"What's the name of that wizard?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"Russell."
"Okay," Ren Xiaosu found a chair casually and began to rummage through the clues in the book. A maid dragged her skirt and walked over to him and offered him tea and snacks. Someone even asked him if he needed a massage on his neck and shoulders. .
The tea is black tea, and the dim sum is... crispy twist.
Ren Xiaosu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this wizard really enjoyed it, the vested interest class standing at the top of the kingdom's pyramid, even a marginal figure like Mego could enjoy the meticulous power and welfare.
And Ren Xiaosu, as Mego's entourage, is now considered to be the highest-ranking person in the Wizard Tower besides Mego.
He shook his head and smiled and refused, "No, just let me read a book quietly."
Ren Xiaosu is not pretending, he is really anxious to read!
Now, a certain curiosity in his heart drives him to search for all the news about Ren He, the Knight of Middle Earth.
He always felt that when all the mysteries were solved, many doubts in his heart would also disappear.
Ren Xiaosu searched the directory, only to find that the first wizard recorded in the wizard annals was Russell.
