Hallumi and Kaya were puzzled as to why their teacher was in such a hurry to leave when she just arrived at her new home. But in this regard, the two girls never questioned their teacher's decision. Anyway, they used to be like this.
Lich, who was unfamiliar with the place, also chose to follow. She was not afraid of loneliness – this was what a certain lady said – but she was alone in the house and had nothing to do, so she followed.
This made a certain someone want to complain. Who was the one who pushed and dragged the two girls last night, while he happily typed on the first coffin keyboard all night? If it weren't for the fact that Lich's need for food and sleep was unnecessary, Lin really wanted to admire the other party's ability to focus without sleep or food. She was indeed a life form that transcended human beings.
She left just like that. The two big dogs also helped the girls with a lot of luggage. They relied on specially-designed backpacks that were hunched on both sides of their bodies. The mystery of the backpacks was in the straps that tied their bodies. The freely movable buckles allowed the two big dogs to stretch out their paws to unshackle the backpacks and restore their flexibility. There was no need for someone to help the two dogs unpack in a hurry at a critical moment.
The destination was the mountain village, a place Lin once visited when he was a fledgling. What left the deepest impression at that time was the dreamy plants that covered the mountains and valleys – coffee trees.
For a certain someone who did a lot of research and study on coffee on Earth, he was ecstatic to see a wild coffee tree. He picked a few fruits, peeled them, and tasted them. He was sure that this thing was the coffee fruit that no one cared about in the maze world.
Tea and coffee were the same. In the Eastern and Western worlds of Earth, they were originally used as medicine. Later, they developed their respective cultures.
In the maze world, Lin had not seen a tea tree. But to be honest, even if he saw it, he could only look at the tree and sigh.
On the contrary, the coffee trees in this forest had become an unexpected harvest. Back on Earth, Lin had a lot of experience in the research and production of coffee.
This was not referring to someone who was light on tea and heavy on coffee. The three major drinks on Earth, tea, wine, and coffee, were ranked in no particular order. No matter which one it was, it was nostalgic.
There was no need to talk about wine. No matter what race they were, they would all drink this. It was not difficult to brew wine, but it was difficult to brew good wine. If he messed around and made it sour, he might not even have the right to be vinegar. He could only pour it into the drain.
If it was tea, he would have to complain about the ecology of the ghost island. As a part of the tea culture, Taiwan's tea making and tea production techniques were already quite outstanding and mature. The result of mass production was the creation of a considerable number of high-quality and inexpensive teas that suited their tastes.
Spending a small sum of money to enjoy the fruits of others' labor. This kind of convenience made a certain someone rather unfamiliar with the process of making tea.
On the contrary, coffee culture did not have such a good environment. In the beginning, there were only a few people who accepted it. Later on, it flourished. The problems that coffee faced were just like other developing products. There were both good and bad problems. What was worse was the evil merchants who used the pretense of deceiving people.
In such an environment, it was reasonable to choose to save oneself. Therefore, it made someone go from drinking coffee to brewing coffee and then drinking coffee, to roasting coffee and brewing coffee and drinking it again. Later on, he studied the matter of growing coffee with a group of people who shared the same interest.
In other words, Lin had relevant experience in the production of coffee, from the fruit to the cup of coffee that was brewed and served on the table.
When he first transmigrated to the maze and discovered the coffee forest, Lin's mood could be said to be painful and happy. Of course, he was happy because he saw a familiar old friend. He was painful because he did not have the ability to make coffee at that time. He could only let the wild coffee trees fall all over the ground.
Now, he had free time and money. Lin planned to hire a group of farmers to help him when he arrived at the mountain village. Anyway, it was the slack time recently. If he did it alone, even with his two disciples, how much could he achieve in the end? Lin felt a little desperate just thinking about it. Therefore, it was a very reasonable choice to spend money to hire some people to help him bring back dozens or hundreds of kilograms of coffee to comfort his recently hurt soul.
In less than a day's journey, Lin and the others had already arrived at the mountain village at dusk. There were coffee trees all over the mountain, and the red fruits hung densely on the treetops. It was quite pleasing. It seemed that Lin had come at the right time.
Lin did not hide the purpose of this trip, so the others also knew that this ripe red fruit was the target this time. When Hallumi passed by the coffee trees, she picked a few fruits to taste. She stuffed one into her mouth. The plain and slightly sweet taste made the girl a little disappointed. Therefore, she stuffed the rest of the fruit into Kaya's hand.
Kaya also tried the taste and only felt that she had to grit her teeth. The seed in the coffee fruit was really too hard. The rest of the fruit was all stuffed into Gray Hoof's mouth. It was because the dog was closer to the girl with the two braids on her left and right.
On the other hand, Lich, who also picked a fruit and stuffed it into her mouth, her eyes lit up. She seemed to understand the beauty contained within. However, she did not make any noise. Instead, she quietly waited, waiting for a certain someone to bring a surprise from another world.
These two pitiful little girls did not know what was good for them. It was said that coffee was discovered by a shepherd in the Ethiopian region of Africa on Earth. He found that a few of his sheep were very excited. After tracking the sheep, he found that the most likely thing to stimulate the sheep was the fruit on a short tree. Then, coffee began its legendary development.
There were elves, druids, potions, and herbology in the maze world. Logically speaking, nuclear drinks like coffee and tea should have a lot of room for development. In fact, Lin had lived here for more than ten years, but he had never heard of these two drinks being highly recommended.
Perhaps it was because the range of circulation was not large, or perhaps it was Lin's own ignorance. In short, a certain someone wanted to reminisce about the taste before transmigration, but he could not. He could only drink some flower tea that was said to be drunk by elven nobles, or some unknown grass juice. If he wanted to be normal, he could only drink some bitter and sour beer.
At first, he thought that it was the difference between Earth and the maze world that made coffee and tea not exist in this new world. However, when he first saw the coffee trees in the maze, the shock and excitement was indescribable. And that yearning from back then was now about to be realized. With such feelings, Lin walked into the mountain village.
It was a remote and barren mountain village, and there were not many outsiders in the year. Even the traveling merchants only had to carry a large bag, and they were able to take most of the money in this mountain village.
Today, however, they welcomed an old man who looked like a magician, with two little girls and a beauty who was so beautiful that no one knew what to say about it.
In the barren mountains and turbulent rivers, there were people who dared to cause trouble. With the appearance of a rare beauty, which of these villagers did not want to get close to her? If there were only the four of them, there might be a rumor going around for a while: "The magician thought he was so powerful that he went into the mountains to hunt for magical beasts and did not return."
Unfortunately, the two unusually large dogs dispelled everyone's improper thoughts, and even made them worried.
As a place where only fleeing goblins would come, and the fiercest animal was the wild boar that loved to destroy the fields, how many times had the villagers seen magical beasts? If they had not even seen one, then there was no need to talk about crusading against magical beasts. Therefore, when a group of people who could command the two large dogs came, the villagers could not help but treat them seriously.
As the speaker and also the oldest person in the village, the old man trembled as he walked over. Rather than saying that he was speaking on behalf of the villagers, it was better to say that he was pushed out by the crowd as a shield. This was to prevent the magician in front of him from sending the person he was talking to to the sky if he was unhappy. This unlucky fellow... Oh, no. It was this honor, of course, that should be given to the most prestigious old man in the village.
Knowing the reason why he was pushed out, the old man looked fearfully at the two large, motionless dogs standing at the side, and at the inconspicuous magician standing at the front in the center. He said with a trembling voice, "Sir magician, may I ask what service you need from us for coming to this remote mountain village?"
Seeing that the old man looked like he had seen the plague and wanted to send him away quickly, this was not good for the conversation later. Therefore, Lin used a magic trick to conjure up a hidden gold coin. Apart from handing it over to the old man, he also carefully closed his five fingers to feel the weight of the gold coin in his palm.
The old man was not pretentious. Holding the gold coin, he put it into his mouth and tested his teeth against the corner to see which was harder, his teeth or the gold coin. The result was quite satisfactory. A gold coin that a magician could take out would not be some worthless, dirty money with too many impurities.
The old man's wrinkled face smiled like a blooming flower. Saying that the people in the mountains were simple? Saying that the people in the mountains were snobbish? Actually, Lin thought that it should be said that they were true to themselves. Disgust was disgust, needless to say, it could be seen from their expressions. Like was like. They would not act submissive in front of others and behind others. On the surface, they were submissive, but in the back, they were stabbed again and again.
With the gold coin opening the way, the attitude of the entire mountain village changed. Lin and his group were invited to the old man's house. The other villagers who had nothing to do, regardless of gender or age, all gathered outside the old man's house, either through the window or through the door to look at the outsiders.
Hallumi and Kaya did not enter the house, only Lin and Fen were there. Lin guessed that keeping the two dogs there would be more useful than bragging to this group of people about how fierce the former Devil King was. But since he wanted Gray Hoof and White Nose to guard outside the door, and not let the villagers worry too much, he could only let the two girls stay by the dogs' side.
The discussion in the house had not yet begun, and both sides were still exchanging pleasantries. Outside the house, some bold children had already surrounded the two big dogs and started to discuss. Some even wanted to get close to them and tug at their long fur.
However, when the two dogs simultaneously made ferocious expressions and fiercely dripped saliva on the heads of the group of children, most of the children retreated.
There were also a few who stood by the big dogs, wanting to see what would happen. Kaya, on the other hand, did not care. She only focused on the screen of the Water Mirror Spell, organizing the information on the forum that her teacher had told her to collect. Hallumi did not stop the two big dogs. Instead, she seemed to add fuel to the fire, saying, "Be good, you can't eat people."
Then, naturally, the parents of the children who did not have eyes pulled the children away.
