He looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction. However, there was still one last step. Just like the joke about building the pyramid, the last thing missing was the Pharaoh.
After preparing a change of clothes, he closed the door and scrubbed himself up and down. Then, he jumped into the pool filled with hot spring water. There were no floor-to-ceiling windows or large glass in the maze world, so Lin built the hot spring pool on an open platform. When he was soaking in the pool, he turned his head and saw the scene outside the Tower of the Great Sage.
The lush forest was everywhere, and there was no one. An eagle soared into the sky and soared in the sky. From time to time, birds flew away from the canopy, as if there were beasts running below. As far as the eye could see, it was green. A feeling of being detached from the world filled his chest.
However, to be honest, when he was on Earth, it was a wonderful feeling to go camping in the wild occasionally. However, living in such a place where birds did not lay eggs and chickens did not shit for a long time. Looking at the scene before him, he really couldn't summon the slightest bit of ambition. What really made Lin feel extremely comfortable was the feeling of his entire body soaking in the water.
If there was also a cup of rice wine with low alcohol content, it would be even more perfect.
To take a bath in the maze world was a very troublesome thing. He had to prepare a bathtub in the room, then boil a pot of hot water, bring it to the room, and pour it into the bathtub. Cleaning up the aftermath was also troublesome. Otherwise, they would find a small stream or a small lake outside, take off all their clothes, and jump into it. Building a large bath was basically only seen in the records of some muddle-headed kings in history books.
Therefore, not bathing for a few days was a very common thing. However, this was also something that Lin, a transmigrator, was not used to.
Yes, it was once. After doing something for more than ten years, he would get used to it even if he was not used to it. However, now that he had the conditions, there was no reason to continue abusing himself.
However, there was really nothing he could do about the wine request. Although there was rice in the maze world, beer and fruit wine were still the main alcohol. The colder it was, the better it tasted, but it was not suitable to drink warm.
Should I get some more equipment for brewing wine? Lin considered in his heart. However, brewing was a technical job. He could not make something just by looking at it and relying on his impression. Just the production of the wine was enough to make Lin confused and unable to make heads or tails of it. Physics was okay, but microbiology was a goner.
"Teacher, what are you doing?"
Hearing Hallumi's voice, Lin turned his head slightly. He glanced back and saw four heads poking out from behind the door. Two girls, two dog heads. Lin said lazily, "Didn't I hang a 'In Use' sign on the door?"
"Yes, it's in use. But what is he using? "
"Take a bath."
"What do you mean by taking a bath?" As he asked, the two people and the two dogs opened the door and walked in. Kaya even reached out to touch the water. She was a little surprised by the fact that the temperature of the water was not too low. The expression on his face that had never changed for the past ten thousand years also changed slightly.
"Soaking your whole body in the water, isn't that called taking a bath?" He felt like he was talking nonsense. But since he was already here, he might as well let him in. With that thought in mind, Lin got up and wrapped a towel around his crotch.
The two girls didn't have much of a reaction to their teacher's behavior. After all, they had been adventuring together for so long, and it wasn't like they hadn't seen each other's bare buttocks before. Instead, it was Hallumi who asked with great interest: "Then can we take a bath?"
Sitting on a small stool with his back to the two girls, Lin said: "If you want to use it, of course you can. It's not like I'll be soaking in the water all day. But not now. Don't be in a hurry to take off your clothes … "He stopped the two who were about to strip naked and jump into the water," … I have some rules to tell you first. But before that, help me scrub my back first. "
Seeing her teacher point to the vegetable cloth, Hallumi rolled up her sleeves, splashed a ladle of water, and then vigorously scrubbed her back. That comfortable feeling was really like the feeling of a previous life. "Oh ~, I should invent a magic to scrub one's back."
After a burst of strange groans, Lin's nerves finally reconnected, and he said to the two girls: "Rule 1, when someone is taking a bath, turn the sign on the door to the 'In Use' side and tell others not to rush in if there's nothing important. When you're done, turn the other side to the 'In Use' side. Rule 2, scoop water to wash your body first before you can soak in the pool. Rule 3, you can't wear clothes in the pool. Of course, you can't wash clothes here. "
After that, Lin looked at it, thought for a moment, and then added: "Rule 4, the two dogs can't enter the pool either."
"Why?" Hallumi asked a little excitedly. After they came back, they found that the habits of the two big dogs were somewhat different from before. If they weren't trained, or if they weren't told what to do, they would go crazy outside and come back dirty. Wouldn't it be nice to have a place to wash?
However, the teacher didn't directly answer the question, but instead said: "If the pool gets dirty, I'll just tell you to clean it."
The two girls didn't hesitate to call out the two big dogs who were using their tongues to test the temperature of the water, seemingly intending to jump in. The aggrieved appearance of the two dogs with their tails between their legs and their heads bowed was amusing.
Then, the two girls were kicked out by their teacher, and Lin Cai went to soak in the pool again. It seems that he doesn't intend to leave for a while.
The setting of the man-made magic open-air hot spring undoubtedly became Lin Xin's new source of motivation. Not only did he soak in the pool when he was dispirited, but he also had a flash of inspiration to overcome several of the difficulties he encountered before.
The two little disciples also loved to soak in the pool. In the past, they didn't have the means to take a bath every day. It was fine if they served their teacher, but when it was their turn, they were too lazy to move the bathtub, to boil water, and to clean up after washing. Because after doing these things, their freshly washed bodies would be covered in sweat again. It was really a waste of energy. So when their bodies were really dirty to the point that they couldn't stand it anymore, they would always run to the river to take care of it.
Now that they didn't have those troubles, they could wash every day. Although the rules said that they had to wash their bodies clean before they could soak in the pool, and they couldn't wear clothes in or wash clothes, there was no rule that said they couldn't play in the water. So the two girls always had a lot of fun in the pool.
And one day, they accidentally discovered that when they meditated while soaking in the water, they actually felt that the accumulation of mana and authority was faster than usual. It was almost catching up to the feeling in the meditation room. So bathing directly became the daily homework of the two girls.
He thought that the days would go on like this, but on a rainy afternoon, the Tower of the Great Sage welcomed another group of guests. Generally speaking, it was enough for the apprentices to receive them. But after days of continuous rain, Lin felt that he was going to grow moldy on the third floor, so he went downstairs to greet the guests.
In the group of seven, a few people were tidying up their wet luggage, and the swordsman in the lead was chatting with Hallumi. When Lin appeared on the first floor, the new guests followed the two apprentices and respectfully greeted the master of the tower.
On the surface, he responded cordially, but in reality, Lin was sizing up the newcomers. There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the Sage Tower had always welcomed unwelcome guests. There were two groups of villagers who wanted to enslave the mages, one group of supervisors who wanted to denounce the mages, and another group who wanted to crusade against the evil mages after hearing about the incident.
Now, this group of people came to this remote place that wasn't part of the main traffic hub. Lin couldn't help but wonder why.
But seeing that they were only vigilant, but not disgusted, maybe they were just passing by?
"May I know where you are from?" Lin asked politely.
"We are an adventurer group from the Kingdom of Salamanca, the Sword of Radiance. I am Leader Kohler. … "
The Kingdom of Salamanca was a small kingdom within the Cartier District branch of the Society of Sorcerers. As for Radiance, or Sword of Radiance, they were common names among adventurer groups, and could be seen everywhere. In any case, this world didn't prohibit people with the same name, so no one cared about this trivial matter.
"… Our group is going to the Dodorian Mountain Range. We heard that there are ogres causing trouble there, and we plan to go on a crusade."
The Dodorian Mountain Range was located within the Nonan District branch of the Society of Sorcerers. This adventurer group's route could be said to be from the northernmost to the southernmost of the peninsula in the southwest of the continent. Ogres were a very troublesome species of uncivilized sapiens. They were very strong and weren't targets that ordinary adventurers dared to deal with.
But this group of adventurer groups brimming with confidence and planning to go on a crusade against ogres were doused with a bucket of cold water here. Kaya said in her unique flat tone: "If it is an ogre tribe in the Dodorian Mountain Range, then it has already been dealt with."
"What!" Everyone was startled. Even Lin was startled when he heard Kaya's words. Swordsman Kohler promptly asked: "May I ask how you got this information? Can you confirm it?"
"It was Count Sita of the Kingdom of Huesca who dispatched the Thunder and Lightning Corps to go on a crusade. A wizard named Maher Lindfles posted it on the forum. "Saying that, Kaya used Water Mirror to bring up the forum's image and quickly found the boastful post.
Looking at the name of the poster, Lin suddenly remembered that this was a fellow member of the group that accompanied a noble young master to pick a quarrel.
Swordsman Kohler looked at the discussion thread opened by Kaya. There was a picture of ogre corpses piled up like a mountain, a backward tribe caught in a sea of fire, and a group of soldiers holding a military flag next to it. There was a noble's coat of arms on the flag with a lightning symbol next to it. It should be the flag of the Thunder and Lightning Corps.
The content was rather interesting, describing how the corps hid their tracks and secretly surrounded the tribe. Then, during the battle, how the soldiers cooperated to reduce the casualties on their side and kill large numbers of ogres whose individual strength exceeded that of humans. In short, it was extremely boastful, almost praising the army to the skies.
When they learned that the troublesome nest of ogres had been dealt with, the adventurers' expressions were complicated. They were happy that the safety of the commoners was guaranteed, but also helpless that they might have made a wasted trip this time.
However, Kaya continued: "Although the ogres have been dealt with, the Dodorian Mountain Range might still require a lot of manpower."
"Oh, what's going on?" This time, it was Lin's turn to ask.
"In the Adventurer's Guild of Huesca's discussion board, there's a post dedicated to posting missions. It's said that the original king-level magic beast in the Dodorian Mountain Range has gone missing, and the remaining magic beasts have started fighting for supremacy. The entire mountain range is in an uproar, and it's said that dragons have appeared. In order to stop the magic beasts from attacking the cities, the Adventurer's Guild issued many crusade missions. Now, if you go there and kill any magic beast, you'll be rewarded. "
"That's really messy."
If someone who knew the whole story was here and heard Lin's words from an outsider's perspective, they would probably die of anger. It was really hard to say who was the instigator.
However, after reading the relevant content, Swordsman Kohler's attention shifted to the forum interface. He said: "So this is the so-called forum I heard about in the Sika District. This is really convenient. But if you want it, you have to go to Wulian City, which is not on the way. What a pity. "
At this time, Hallumi said proudly: "Do you want to buy a browser? You can go directly to my teacher. My teacher is the inventor of the forum browser. If you bring your own magic stones, you can just go to Kiel. "
The expressions of the adventurers' members were really interesting. It was really hard to describe in words.
