The Ferdinand Family's fleet was getting closer and closer to the Ruby Archipelago, and the sense of urgency in Luo Luo's heart was increasing day by day. Apart from her daily homework, she spent almost all of her remaining time in the library, frantically absorbing knowledge from the books. She was so hungry that she could not wait to master all of the magic in this month.
As she came into contact with more and more knowledge, she could more deeply understand the extraordinariness of the mysterious series A notes in her hands. So far, she had a total of nine notes covering nine magic disciplines. Each discipline had a detailed and profound exposition. Although they were all the most basic content, they were of great help to her. The girl had a hunch that the guy with the signature of A was definitely not a nobody. His understanding of magic could not be described with just the word 'powerful'. He was at least one or two hundred years ahead of the mainstream magic ideas of this era.
Sometimes, the girl could not help but wonder if there was really such an omniscient and omnipotent person in this world.
In fact, since she came to Gudilesi, she encountered more and more inexplicable things. Recently, she had two confrontations with the church and killed a terrifying monster cultivated by the temple with the help of the holy sword. The mysterious teacher, who had been missing for a long time, had also returned to her life. Although the latter did not meet her for some reason, he had been silently protecting her from behind. However, what surprised Lolo the most was the secret behind the Saint Roland Academy of Magic. The guy named Merlin turned out to be Roland's teacher, the ancestor of mages. He was more than nine hundred years old, but time did not seem to leave any trace on him. From him, the girl learned the whereabouts of Grandma Teresa. Lolo could feel that she was getting closer and closer to the truth of that matter.
And now, what she had to do was to seize the last period of time to enrich herself and make herself stronger.
Compared to her, Rob had a much easier time recently. After sending off Bevinadet, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor had nothing else to do for the time being, so he continued to take care of his small bakery. However, a few days ago, because he had missed too many courses, the school had informed him that if he wanted to get enough credits this year and not repeat a year, he would have to start taking remedial courses now. In this way, he could not take care of the bakery. So, Master Wukaili recommended a niece of his friend to help take care of the bakery.
It was a mixed-blood orc and human girl named Abby. She had two cute little canine teeth and a fluffy tail. She was only 16 years old, but she claimed that she was traveling around the Dawn Continent alone. When she arrived at Gudilesi, she realized that she had no money in her pocket, so she decided to find a job to fill her stomach and save some money for her journey. Abby was looking for a job on the street when she bumped into Master Wukaili and was brought to the bakery.
Rob had no objections. He had been planning to hire someone. Although it was fun to bully Lolo, the girl had been busy recently and could not find time to come to the bakery. Genie and Gage would come to help occasionally, but they had their own things to do and could not stay in the bakery all the time. Rob had been out of business for a long time because of the New Student Competition. If he did not open the bakery again, he would lose all the popularity he had accumulated with great difficulty.
Abby was a very suitable candidate in every aspect. The cute little girl was very convenient for attracting customers, especially for some middle-aged uncles who were still gentlemanly. She worked hard and was the daughter of Master Wukaili's old friend. She only needed one silver coin a month, which was quite cheap in Gudilesi, which was very expensive in terms of manpower and material resources. Apart from that, the little girl had two other requests. First, she wanted the bakery to provide three meals a day. She did not need meat or fish, just the most common black bread. Second, after the bakery closed, she could sleep on the sofa in the living room.
Rob had no problem with the first request, but he rejected Abby's second request. Not to mention what Lolo would think if he took in a little girl in his house, there were still many secrets in the attic of the quasi-magus. Moreover, he was going to kidnap the bishop of the shrine with D 'Attarion in a few days, so it would be inconvenient for him to stay at home alone. At the same time, the quasi-magus also expressed that he was willing to pay another silver coin to help the girl rent a place to live in the city.
However, he did not expect that this proposal would be strongly resisted by Abby. The girl did not know who instilled the inexplicable idea that "the housing prices here are very high, and those who rent houses are idiots" on the way to Gudilesi. Therefore, because she did not want to be an idiot, Abby would not agree to rent a house outside no matter what.
"Instead of spending another silver coin to rent a house, why don't you give me that silver coin? As for sleeping at night, if you don't want to lend me the sofa, I can sleep on the floor. Don't look at me like this, we orcs are very healthy." The girl waved her arms twice. Abby wasn't boasting on this point. The beastmen were famous for their strong physique. It was said that a five- or six-year-old beastman would already possess the strength of a Grade 1 Warrior. The only thing they lacked was combat skills. Abby had half beastman blood flowing in her veins, so she had inherited this advantage.
"Uh, the sofa is not the point." Rob smiled bitterly.
"Then what's the point?" Abby blinked her eyes in confusion. "There are no wild beasts or poisonous insects here. Why can't I sleep on the floor?"
"Where did you travel before? Is Gudilesi the first human town you've been to?" The future Supreme Magus Your Honor rubbed his temples, feeling a little headache. He had obviously overestimated the girl's life experience. This girl seemed to lack common sense. "Yes, I grew up with my mother in the tribe.
"Yes, I grew up with my mother in the tribe. When my mother was young, she went out to play in the human world by herself and met my father. When she found out that she was pregnant, she went back to the tribe to give birth to me. However, my father didn't go back as promised, so when I grew up, I left home. I worked and traveled while asking about his whereabouts. Speaking of which, the rules in the human world are really strange. Is there a special law that governs whether people sleep on the floor?" Abby was still brooding over the fact that she couldn't sleep on the floor.
