Zhang Hao had always been very patient because of his practice of Tai Chi. Seeing that the shop owner was so interested in the tree branch, he did not want to disturb him. He just enjoyed the magic items in the shop. Zhang Hao had once heard from Christine that the most powerful people in the world were mages. However, because magic was very difficult to cultivate, there were not many mages. When she was talking, the girl's eyes were full of admiration.
Christy loved magic, but because of her family background, she had never mentioned it to Nanas. When she taught Zhang Hao the world language, she often told him that her wish was to become a grand mage.
"Become a grand mage?" Zhang Hao's mouth revealed a faint smile,"Although I don't know what level a grand mage is, her brother is back. I think this wish will come true soon."”
A black carriage stopped outside the shop with the young man sitting next to the driver. Zhang Hao realized that the hoofs of the white horses were not branded with horseshoes, but cushions made of some kind of cloth. No wonder he did not hear the sound of hooves in front of him. There was a yellow coat of arms on the door, and the carvings on the coat of arms looked like lilies from Earth.
The young man jumped out of the car and respectfully bent down to open the door. A yellow-haired, blue-eyed, haughty noblewoman in a low-cut dress and holding a feather fan came out. Her bare shoulders were smooth and fair, like a young girl. The shopkeeper ran to the woman with the branch of the enchantment. He said with a hint of flattery and excitement,"Madam, this is a thousand-year-old enchantment branch. It has not fallen for more than 2 taka hours (about 4 hours). It has no roots yet. Put it in Iskar Spring Water and soak it for three days. It will grow roots. Then, our city can be revived.“
The noblewoman frowned and said with a hint of anger,""Why are you still talking so much? Hurry up and send it to the mouth of Iskar Spring.”The shopkeeper waved his hand to call his son over. The young man took the branch and carried it as he ran. As he ran, he shouted loudly,"Our city is going to be resurrected.”When the pedestrians on the road heard this, they ran after the young man. In the blink of an eye, a large group of people gathered and disappeared into the corner of the street.
The woman covered her mouth with a feather fan and smiled."Nerude, your contribution this time is very big. Later, ask my butler for money. 10 gold coins.”Without looking at Zhang Hao, he turned around and got into the carriage. The shopkeeper was overjoyed and bowed as he watched the carriage leave. After the carriage disappeared, he returned to the shop and took out two gold coins from behind the counter and handed them to Zhang Hao."Young man, where did you find this branch?”
Zhang Hao took the gold coin and was overjoyed. He pointed to the north and replied," The forest in the north." "The Lost Forest in the north." It's said that there are fire spiders there." Zhang Hao nodded. He had only just learned the name of the forest near the village.
Since he had already gotten the gold coins, Zhang Hao was about to leave when he suddenly remembered that he had not eaten since noon and was already feeling a little hungry. He asked the shopkeeper,"Is there a place to eat and stay in the city?”The shopkeeper tore a blank sheet of paper from the bill book and said,"The terrain in the city is too complicated. I'll draw you a map.”Zhang Hao expressed his gratitude and couldn't help but think, There were so many good people in this world.
Merchants were cunning. It was the same on Earth, and it was the same in this world. The shop owner traced the map and glanced at Zhang Hao. He asked intentionally or unintentionally,""Your teacher's swordsmanship must be very powerful.”Zhang Hao thought to himself that his grandfather could be considered his teacher. His swordsmanship was also quite famous in the martial arts world, so he nodded in agreement.
"Then where is your teacher working now?”The shopkeeper finished drawing the map and stood up straight.
"Passed away!" Zhang Hao's expression darkened. The shopkeeper ignored Zhang Hao's expression and continued to ask,""What about your parents?"
Zhang Hao's expression darkened even more. He didn't know how to answer. After a long time, he replied,"I can't find it." In her heart, she had to admit that she was like a lost child.
The shop owner handed the map to Zhang Hao and sneered in his heart. So she was an orphan. Zhang Hao looked at the map. There were four places where he could eat and stay, and there was also a place with the word 'recommended' written on it. Zhang Hao gratefully bowed to the shopkeeper as a swordsman. This was something that Christine had taught him. If he was a swordsman, he would do this to the person he was grateful to. Zhang Hao had always thought that he was a swordsman. In this world, he was a swordsman.
After Zhang Hao left, the shop owner smiled proudly." So it's a poor swordsman with no power or influence. He's really lucky to have found the thousand-year enchantment tree. However," the shopkeeper's expression became more and more cunning," the honor of finding the thousand-year enchantment tree will belong to me."”
Following the directions on the map, they were not far from the 'recommended' location. They could see it after turning left at the next intersection. Zhang Hao noticed that there were fewer and fewer ordinary citizens on the road. There were more and more people wearing leather armor and holding all kinds of weapons. There were also some people wrapped in thick steel armor. When they walked, the ground shook. Zhang Hao couldn't help but click his tongue and sigh."I've long heard that high-level warriors are powerful, but I didn't expect that they could still move normally in such heavy armor.”
After walking for a while, he did not see any of the mages that Christine mentioned. Zhang Hao was feeling strange when a wooden sign hanging on the roadside wall caught his attention. Selling a two-story wooden building for only one gold coin. There was even an arrow drawn on the tail, pointing at the alley beside it.
After walking along the alley for about 200 meters, an exquisite and elegant two-story wooden building stood in front of Zhang Hao. The small building was surrounded by a marble wall. If it wasn't for the sign on the tightly locked iron gate that said 'For sale, one gold coin', Zhang Hao wouldn't have believed that such a beautiful building was sold for only one gold coin.
Zhang Hao knocked on the iron door for a while. An auntie came out of the room opposite the small building. She wiped her wet hands with a scarf and asked,"You're here to buy a house, right?"
"Yes, this wooden building is fine, right? Why are you selling it so cheaply?" Zhang Hao tried his best to make himself look smarter.
" This used to be my relative's house, but they moved away later because " The auntie looked a little embarrassed." Because this building is haunted at night.”
"Haunted?" Zhang Hao asked in surprise. After getting the auntie's affirmative answer, he smiled. He never believed in ghosts and gods.
"Can we tour this building first?”
" Of course," the auntie took out the key and handed it to Zhang Hao." But I don't dare to go in. You can go up alone."”
Zhang Hao opened the iron gate and entered the courtyard. There was a stone path in the courtyard that was as wide as two people, leading to the front door of the small building. The surroundings were filled with all kinds of unknown flowers and plants, green, red, and blue. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the streets, this place seemed very quiet.
The wooden building didn't look big from the outside, but it felt quite spacious inside. The furniture in the living room on the first floor had been painted with wood paint and looked very expensive. Because no one had cleaned it for a long time, a layer of dust had accumulated. The kitchen was also equipped with utensils and a stove. The bathroom floor was paved with smooth bluestone, and the bath was placed on the right side of the room, taking up half of the entire bathroom. Zhang Hao pushed open the back door of the living room and went straight to the backyard. There was a well at the end of the stone path.
There were three bedrooms and a storage room on the second floor. Judging from the remaining furnishings in the three bedrooms, the first one belonged to the former owner and his wife, while the second one belonged to the little boy. There was a small square shield and a small sharp spear left in the room, as well as some introductory books on spear techniques. It seemed that the little owner's wish was to become a knight. The third room was decorated by a young girl. There was a light red bed curtain, a comb mirror as tall as a person, and a picture clip on the counter. Zhang Hao opened it and saw that it was an unfinished landscape oil painting.
Zhang Hao casually looked at the storage room. There were more than ten easels inside, all covered with white cloth. Zhang Hao opened them one by one and saw that they were all landscape paintings. Although Zhang Hao had never come into contact with the art of painting, he could still tell that these paintings were all ordinary works. His parents must have loved their daughter, so they specially kept all their daughter's paintings in the storage room.
This building was quite good. Zhang Hao came downstairs with this thought in mind. The auntie was already waiting at the door. When she saw Zhang Hao come out, she went up and asked,"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Zhang Hao took out a gold coin and handed it to the auntie, saying,""I'm buying this building. Do you have the title deed?”
"Yes, please wait a moment." The auntie returned to her room and took out a yellowed piece of paper. She handed it to Zhang Hao and said,"Alright, this building belongs to you. No matter what happens in the future, you can't return it.”
Zhang Hao smiled. If there were really ghosts in this world, he would still want to meet them. He casually agreed,"Yes, it's definitely not the same." The sky was getting dark. He bade farewell to the auntie and returned to the small building he had just bought. He put the title deed in a small box in the storage room and went downstairs. He closed the front door, took off the wooden sign on the iron door, locked the iron door, took out the map again, and walked towards the sign.
