After arriving at the Tower of the Great Sage, this was the fourth visit from the Chamber of Commerce.
In addition to the routine supplies, there was also a carriage that could be used to carry people. This was to send the two apprentices back to the branch to take the first round of the apprentice examination.
Generally speaking, if one could afford to pay enough, and if one was influential enough, they would be able to invite qualified examiners to come to the magic tower to test their apprentices in person. However, Lin didn't have enough money and face, so naturally, he couldn't invite those high and mighty great mages to come to the wilderness.
Even if he didn't have money, there were ways to do it. It was possible to let the apprentices walk back to the branch on foot, just like the ancient China on Earth. However, considering that the two girls were only a little over ten years old, there was really no need to go through so much trouble. In any case, sending guests back was one of the businesses of the Chamber of Commerce. The return trip of delivering goods and sending people back at the same time was also much cheaper than making a special trip.
As for why Lin didn't leave the Tower of the Great Sage, it was also because of his duty as a guardian. He couldn't leave too far or for too long. If he planned to go on a long journey, according to the rules, he had to first report to the Association. This was to prevent the Association from mistakenly thinking that there was someone guarding the Magic Tower if the Tower Master went missing or something. Leaving without saying goodbye was a very bad thing to do.
However, Lin didn't want to go on this trip, mainly because he was lazy. Taking a carriage for a long journey was faster than walking, but the bumpiness of the road wasn't something that people who were used to sitting in cars with shock absorbers could adapt to. Secondly, when he returned to the Association, it was inevitable that he would announce a few sets of systems to deal with those peers or seniors who came to ask questions.
The reason why the fat otaku could enjoy himself was that he hated that kind of meaningless communication. Those who couldn't understand were not intelligent enough. When it came to growing a beard and tying a knot, he might not be able to teach those mediocre people.
Therefore, he put the system that was to be submitted to the Association in a sealed box and handed it to the two apprentices. Lin ushered in a life of solitude that he hadn't seen for several years. The first thing, of course, was to lie on the floor of the hall on the first floor and roll to the other side. Living in a big house, this was something that he had long wanted to do once to declare his sovereignty.
However, just as he rolled to the side of the wall, he opened his eyes and saw four dog eyes and two long tongues dripping with saliva. Yes, the two dog-like magical beasts, Grayhoof and Whitenose, were left behind in the Tower of the Great Sage. Compared to their original appearance, they were now several times bigger, but they were still not adults. It could only be said that the nutrition was too good.
Lin was quite emotional about this. Once again, it was the situation where a child raised a dog and his parents raised a dog. It couldn't be helped. What came next was a period of one man and two dogs. Little did they know that this was just the beginning of the disaster.
Without the two little apprentices who kept an eye on the two beasts, the usual training stopped, and the rules were gone. The whole Magic Tower became a playground for the two dogs. The bitten bedsheets, the dog poop in the center of the nuclear chamber, the kitchen that had been stolen, and the new furniture that had been used for a few months had become the object of teeth grinding, not to mention the few books that had been dismembered at the scene of the dismemberment.
For the next few days, Lin became a dog servant who cleaned up the mess, cleaned up the mess, and prepared food for his two masters.
… Was there a mistake somewhere?
Lin recalled the knowledge he had learned from Earth that dogs were classed creatures. It was said that the two little apprentices usually took care of the chores in the Magic Tower, and Lin Yi didn't care at all. This kind of behavior was the lowest form of behavior in the eyes of the dogs. So when the two people at the top were not here, the two beasts thought that they were above the human in front of them.
If these two beasts were Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, or small hysterical dogs, then it would be fine. But in the Maze World, these two were at least carnivorous beasts, or even magical beasts. To put it simply, their skin was rough and their flesh could withstand a beating.
Lin recalled the past that the old man had told him. In the early days of Taiwan, in order to not let the dogs have too many puppies, the dogs would be sterilized. But it was definitely not a veterinarian, but a barefoot immortal (secret doctor) in the village who knew how to sterilize dogs.
At that time, there was a particularly fierce big black dog in the village. It chased after cars, people, and postmen, and provoked the wrath of the people. Even the granduncle who knew how to sterilize dogs was chased by it. When the owner of the black dog wanted to sterilize the dog, he asked the granduncle to do it. The granduncle tied the dog up and cut its flesh with a knife. When the dog's testicles were half removed, he ran off to smoke, not caring about the black dog's howling. He smoked for more than an hour before he came back and slowly finished the rest of the surgery. From then on, the big black dog, when it saw the granduncle coming from afar, would definitely run away with its tail between its legs.
Then … Should I sterilize these two dogs? Lin thought to himself. But considering that he didn't have the skill, it was better not to try it. But it was not like there was no other way. Thinking of this, Lin showed a sneaky smile, and the two beasts were inexplicably frightened by his smile.
First, he went into the casting room and made a few iron chains. With the help of magic molding, this was a piece of cake. Next, he made three sets of wooden frames for skinning animals and tied them securely. Then, while the two beasts, who didn't know that they were about to die and were still playing with pillows in the core room, did not notice, he used the magic rope spell to tie the two dogs tightly.
The Potency spell of an official mage was definitely not something that two immature beasts could resist. Gray Hoof and White Nose had no power to resist, and were firmly tied to the skinning rack with iron chains. Their four limbs were firmly fixed. Other than the dog's head, which could still move, the rest of their body could not be moved.
Of course, he did not do this to skin the two dogs. Lin ignored the two beasts' begging moans and went out of the door. He hunted an adult wolf and tied it to the third wooden frame. Then, he started the steps of bleeding, skinning, dismembering, and then making delicious barbecued meat at the places where Gray Hoof and White Nose could see.
Of course, the two beasts did not have a share of the meat. They could only watch as the humans enjoyed the delicious food. However, Lin was still kind enough to feed the two dogs a bowl of water each. Then, he threw a Silence spell, ignored the pitiful cries of the dog conch, and returned to his own territory to observe the stars at night.
He did this for three consecutive days. The difference was that on the second day, he hunted a real magic dog, and on the third day, he hunted another wolf. Anyway, hunting these carnivorous beasts was the guardian's duty, and Lin did it in passing.
On the morning of the fourth day, the two beasts, who only had a little water to drink for three days, did not even have the strength to moan. Their tongues drooped weakly, and they were almost on their last breath. Only then did Lin put the two dogs down.
As soon as they landed, the two dogs, who knew where they got the strength, ran back to their kennels and hid inside, not daring to come out. Until Lin cut a piece of wolf meat that was cooked last night and put it into the two dogs' bowls. One had to know that the barbecued meat had been left out for a night, and had become hard and tasteless. However, this meat still attracted Gray Hoof and White Nose.
They walked forward fearfully, the corners of their eyes revealing a fearful expression as they looked at the human standing in front of the dog bowls. When they were just a few steps away, Lin stretched out his hand and gestured for them to stop. He shouted, "Stop!" The two dogs stopped at the same time.
"Sit."
These simple instructions had been learned by the two young disciples during their training. Therefore, Gray Hoof and White Nose sat down obediently, although their heads were lowered and their tails were weakly wagging.
Lin was very satisfied. Although he was not the main trainer and was not usually responsible for feeding the dogs, he still understood these simple instructions. However, these two dogs could still understand these simple orders and carried them out meticulously. They just didn't know how to speak human language and say, "Sir, yes, sir." On the other hand, if they were so stupid that they could not understand human language, there was no value in training them, and they would have become a pot of dog meat long ago.
"Eat."
Only after the order was given did the two dogs dare to lower their heads and bite the cold and hard barbecued meat.
In the following days, Lin still did not discipline or train the two dogs. This was what his two disciples had promised to do. Gray Hoof and White Nose returned to their undisciplined state, but this time they only dared to play and behave atrociously outside the tower. They did not even dare to go up to the nuclear room on the third floor.
Lin's days were finally stable. When he thought of it, he would throw a few pieces of meat into the dogs' bowls and fill the water basins with water.
After all, raising dogs was similar to teaching children. When the reasoning did not work, he would starve for a meal and beat them a few times, and the reasoning would be clear. Thinking of the beatings he had suffered when he was young, Lin felt a lot of emotions. In that era, the standard of a school's famous teacher was how many teaching whips were broken in a semester.
However, in the era before he transmigrated, it would appear on TV from time to time. In the name of discipline, it was actually news of child abuse. Looking at the children's bruises, how was that teaching children? It was simply treating them as enemies and beating them to vent their anger. Public morals were degenerating day by day.
