The sky slowly darkened. In the entire castle, except for Li Yan's bedroom, which used magic lamps, the other places used torches.
These magic lamps were made from a type of magic crystal from the Tian Yuan Continent. There were only two ways to obtain magic crystals. One was from underground magic crystal mines. There were good and bad magic crystals, and the amount of energy contained in them was calculated. The ones with more energy could be used as the power of magic tools, while the ones with less energy could only be used for lighting. These underground magic crystals were all one-time-use. Once they were used up, the magic crystals would be useless.
There was also a kind of magic crystal that was produced by magic beasts. This kind of magic crystal was very rare. Ten magic beasts might not even have one magic crystal.
Although the magic crystals produced by these magic beasts did not have very high energy, they were very stable. They were auxiliary tools for mages to cast spells.
Most importantly, this magic crystal could be used repeatedly. After his energy was exhausted, he could absorb the magic energy of the same attribute in nature after a period of time and slowly replenish it. This way, he could use it again.
Regardless of the type of magic crystal, they were all very expensive. The magic crystals produced in the magic crystal mine were a little cheaper than those produced by magic beasts, but the price was not something that ordinary people could afford.
The Carlin family was in a critical period. Although Zhao Lin had bought a few magic crystals, each of them was very precious and could not be used indiscriminately. Therefore, at night, other than Li Yan's room, the rest of the place was lit up by torches.
At this time, the slaves had already finished eating and went to bed. Li Na had just finished cooking and was asking Zhao Xuan to call Li Yan.
Li Yan had a good sleep. Although he had arrived in the other world, he now had a space farm. He did not have to worry about making a living.
Moreover, because he had been unconscious for the past few days, Li Na had been using magic to treat him. There was still a large amount of water element in his body, which had the effect of calming the mind. In addition, he had now put down his worries, so he slept especially soundly.
When Zhao Xuan arrived outside Li Yan's room, she first listened to the sound in the room. The room was very quiet, and there was no sound at all. Li Na immediately knocked on the door and said,"Young Master, wake up. It's time for dinner.”
There was still no sound in the room. Zhao Xuan called out twice, but there was still no sound in the room. Zhao Xuan had no choice but to push the door open and enter Li Yan's room.
As soon as she entered Li Yan's room, Zhao Xuan heard the sound of even breathing. She walked quietly to Li Yan's bed and took a look. Li Yan was sleeping soundly and did not hear their shouts at all.
Zhao Xuan sighed. She didn't know if Li Yan was a fool or a big-hearted person. At this point, he could still sleep so soundly.
Zhao Xuan stood beside Li Yan's bed and gently pushed him.""Young Master, it's time to get up for dinner.”
Li Yan woke up in a daze and muttered,""What time is it?"
"Young Master, it's already seven o'clock in the evening. It's time for dinner." Zhao Xuan quickly said.”
Only then did Li Yan open his eyes. He turned to look at Zhao Xuan, who was standing by the bed, and then turned to look out the window. He realized that the sky was already a little dark. He slowly sat up and shook his sleepy head. Only then did he wake up a little. He turned to Zhao Xuan and said,"Zhao Xuan, what's the date today?"
"Young Master, today is the 6th of April." Zhao Xuan lowered her head and said.”
Li Yan nodded and did some mental calculations. He was unconscious on February 17th, 1637 of the New Era, and it was now April 6th. That meant that he had been unconscious for more than a month. After being unconscious for more than a month, he could still walk around freely. If this was on Earth, it would be a miracle.
However, Li Yan did not ask Zhao Xuan what was going on because he knew from his previous memories that the healing magic of the mages on this continent was very magical.
Not to mention one month, even if you were unconscious for a year, you could still walk on the ground as if you had just slept without muscle wasting.
Li Yan had just sat down by the bed when Zhao Xuan immediately took Li Yan's boots and wanted to put them on Li Yan. Li Yan immediately said,"Zhao Xuan, put it down. I can do it myself.”
Zhao Xuan was stunned, but she still said,"Young Master, let me do it. This is what I should do."”
Li Yan was not used to this. He quickly stopped Zhao Xuan and said,"Forget it. I'll handle such small matters myself in the future.”With that, he snatched the boots from Zhao Xuan's hands and put them on himself.
Zhao Xuan looked at Li Yan in a daze. She felt that Li Yan was very unfamiliar today. In the past, Li Yan would not even take off his boots himself, let alone put them on. Today, he actually put them on himself.
After putting on his boots, Li Yan stood up and turned to Zhao Xuan.""Let's go and eat first. I still have some things to discuss with Grandpa Zhao Lin.”
Although Zhao Xuan felt that Li Yan was acting very strange today, she still responded and led Li Yan towards the restaurant.
Zhao Xuan knew that Li Yan had not left his room since he arrived, so he could not find the castle. If he left by himself, he would not know where the restaurant was.
Li Yan was stunned when he stepped out of the room. He looked around curiously. This castle was obviously an old castle. It had been built for a long time, but it looked quite sturdy. However, the style was very old and gave off a gloomy feeling.
However, Li Yan did not care about this. He preferred the castle to be like this. In his impression, the castle should be like this. This was the style of an ancient castle. Perhaps he would find a secret room in this castle someday.
Soon, Li Yan also noticed the torches on the wall. When he saw these torches and thought about the price of magic crystals, Li Yan immediately understood why torches were used here.
Although he didn't know the price of goods in the past, he still knew the price of things like magic crystals. Because these things were high-end consumer goods, only people of Li Yan's class could afford them, so he knew the price.
At the same time, Li Yan also thought of the magic lamp in his room. It seemed that it was the only magic lamp in the entire castle. Thinking of this, Li Yan's heart could not help but feel warm.
The dining room wasn't far from Li Yan's bedroom, so the two of them quickly entered the dining room. Zhao Lin, Li Na, Gou Dan, and Tie Dan were waiting for Li Yan in the dining room. When they saw Li Yan enter, they bowed and said,"Good night, Young Master.”
Li Yan nodded and glanced at the wooden table in the dining room. He realized that there was only his cutlery there. Through Li Yan's memory, Li Yan knew that when nobles were eating, servants were not allowed to sit at the same table. They could only stand by and wait on them.
Li Yan sat down and looked around the restaurant. It was not big, only about 20 square meters. There was a long dining table in the middle. The dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth. There were two candlesticks on the tablecloth, and each candlestick had three candles on it.
There were eight chairs placed around the dining table. The workmanship of these chairs was very exquisite. It was obvious that they were high-end goods. There was a torch in every corner of the restaurant, illuminating the entire restaurant. However, other than these, there was nothing else in the restaurant.
After Li Yan finished sizing up the restaurant, he turned to Zhao Lin and the others and said,"Grandpa Zhao Lin, you guys sit down and eat too. I have something to ask you after dinner.”
Zhao Lin immediately bowed to Li Yan and said,""Young Master, this is not allowed. When you are eating, we cannot sit with you. This is the rule of the empire.”
Li Yan snorted and said," The Empire's rules are not my rules. Since the Empire has given up on us, why should we still abide by the Empire's rules? Don't talk anymore. Go get the cutlery and sit down to eat. I'll talk about something while eating. If you don't come over, I won't eat either."”
When Zhao Lin saw Li Yan's expression, he had no choice but to turn to look at Li Na. Li Na glared at him and said,"Why are you looking at me? Young Master hasn't eaten properly for more than a month. Do you want Young Master to starve?”
As expected, to Zhao Lin, Li Yan's body was more important than anything else. Upon hearing Li Na's words, he immediately turned around and said,"Then you can go to the kitchen with Zhao Xuan. I'll wait on Young Master here.”
This time, Li Na didn't say anything and led Zhao Xuan away. Only then did Zhao Lin sit down with Bruiser and Goudan.
Bruiser and Goudan were obviously not used to it. They sat there as if there were thorns on their butts.
Moreover, it could be seen that the two of them were somewhat silly and didn't know how to speak. Ever since they saw Li Yan, they only said along with Zhao Lin and the others,"Good night, Young Master. Treat Young Master to a meal."”He did not make a sound.
From his previous memories, Li Yan knew that Bruiser and Goudan were adopted children by his father. They weren't smart and could be said to be very stupid.
However, both of them were gifted with extraordinary strength. In addition, they had learned the Berserk Dragon Warrior Power. Now, both of them were almost at the strength of a Grade 6 Warrior. Moreover, they were loyal to the Carlin family and would never betray them.
While Li Na went to get the food, Li Yan turned to Zhao Lin and said,"Grandpa Zhao Lin, how many gold coins do we have on hand now?”
Zhao Lin was stunned. He didn't know what Li Yan's question meant, but he still immediately stood up and replied,"Young master, we still have 180 gold coins in our hands. However, we don't lack any supplies now, so these gold coins can be used.”
Li Yan hurriedly had Zhao Lin sit down, then continued,"Then when we came from the capital, did we use a carriage to transport things here? What about the horses pulling the carriage?"
Zhao Lin said," Young Master, our place here is small, and we don't have much production. Therefore, in order to save food, we only have five horses. The carriage we used when we came was all hired.”
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood Zhao Lin's meaning. Zhao Lin was trying his best to save as much as possible. One had to know that a good horse couldn't just be fed with grass, it had to be fed with some food. And they couldn't produce much food here at all, so naturally they would save as much as they could, much less raise horses.
