Counting money until your hands cramp, sleeping until you wake up naturally … Although it was impossible to find out who said this, the fact that this sentence could fly across the country as if it had wings was none other than the fact that it was something that people yearned for but couldn't get.
It wasn't a purely material pursuit. It was just a state of mind, a state of "I don't have anything to do anyway, so I can sleep as long as I want", a state of "I don't care about prices, and I don't have to worry about not being able to afford it. Money is just a number to me", a state of "I don't care about prices, and I don't have to worry about not being able to afford it. Money is just a number to me".
Comfort and a sense of security were things that people yearned for. However, if they could be obtained so easily, there wouldn't be so many people envious of them. At least, for Rorschach, he hadn't had such feelings since he was 16 years old.
"… I'm not used to this. Maybe I should really take on a mission and go somewhere to kill something …"
When he woke up and saw that it was already bright outside, Rorschach really wasn't used to it.
In the past, no matter if it was Saul or Ansorenne, they had never slept until they couldn't sleep anymore.
Ansorenne was filled with work every day. Even if he didn't have work to do, there were still too many things that he had to consider and prepare for in his schedule. Even if he really didn't have anything to do for a while, the tense state of work and pressure would still force Rorschach to find something to do.
Although his subordinates called him Master Slacker, if he could really let go and leave, he wouldn't have been locked down by the Game Church and his younger sister until today.
What was worse than having a packed work list was the state of having nothing to do but something to worry about. When a person was constantly in this state of anxiety, they would be overly nervous and exhausted. They would quickly finish what they were doing and then wait for the next one. Life was a cycle of constant anxiety and waiting.
In fact, because they were overly used to being nervous, they wouldn't be used to being idle. They would always feel that something was going to happen, and would always wonder if their work would have problems when they weren't around. People were used to calling this state of mind … a social animal?
Cough, at least the previous Rorschach was an exceptionally qualified spiritual animal.
Rorschach still had new work to do when he finally had a vacation. His acquaintances and subordinates kept reminding him that although it was equivalent to a vacation, he was still in a working environment. But now, in this place, Rorschach could finally relax completely.
After that, he … lived a happy life as a pig farmer.
"Is it 1: 30 in the afternoon? I've already missed breakfast and lunch, and I'm looking forward to Smale's buttery bread. Why don't I sleep early tonight? "
When he opened the door of the hotel room, there were indeed two baskets hanging outside.
One of them was the famous limited edition breakfast bread. It should have been steaming hot with the aroma of fresh milk and butter, but now it was completely cold.
"Not bad."
He tore off two pieces and tasted it. Although it was cold, the taste was really good. He was also used to running errands from 6 am to 9: 30 am.
As for the other basket, it was naturally the lunch Rorschach had missed.
This was actually quite simple. It was the steak set meal that he had previously ordered at the hotel. Rorschach rummaged through the basket and found a small bag containing his underwear.
"… How convenient. Even the free servants are working so hard."
As a foreign traveler, Rorschach's quality of life had significantly improved these days. He didn't even need to spend money, and there were people paying for everything and working hard.
The reason?
"If I knew that apprentices were so useful, I would have taken in a few more."
After meeting with that "child", Rorschach had a discussion with him. It was impossible for him to take him in as a disciple on the spot. According to the usual practice, even if everything was settled, there would still be a period of apprenticeship observation.
It was impossible for Rorschach to lie. When he said that he would consider it, he really meant it. It was a completely unreliable promise, but it was already enough to make the apprentice overjoyed.
After all, that "child" was already 24 years old. His knowledge system and path of advancement were more or less set. Who would take in an apprentice that was already set in stone?
And Rorschach also gave a little example of what he had done in Ansorenne, which made the apprentice even more excited and delighted. The apprentice believed that he had found a treasure.
After all, in the peaceful Mage Country, it was unavoidable that there would be a lack of actual combat experience. Mages' so-called combat experience was mostly limited to mages' duels or serving as military mages. That couldn't be compared to the lives of descenders, who could easily lose their lives if they weren't careful.
However, the world of high-ranked mages was the complete opposite. They had the ability to kill their opponents without even seeing them. As for the archmage who had lived for several hundred years and experienced countless battles, it was impossible for him to lack combat experience.
That child's imaginary enemy was a silver elf mage. Ignoring all other conditions, this silver elf mage was several hundred years old. Even if he wasn't an expert on the battlefield, he definitely wouldn't be a rookie.
When Rorschach heard that "child" say this, he even had a slightly favorable impression of him.
After all, the world had no lack of idiots who didn't know their own limits. Being able to clearly see the difference between oneself and one's opponent was an important yet rare quality, especially after Rorschach had seen far too many idiots.
"I need some time to familiarize myself with the environment, and I'll also take the opportunity to improve myself … I'll be your apprentice for half a year. Just help me do some odd jobs. I'll say this first: I don't intend to take on any apprentices right now. "
Rorschach unhesitatingly stated his request. Others might think that this request was rather harsh, but judging from the current situation, it didn't seem harsh enough.
To be honest, Rorschach really didn't know much about magic. Compared to some archmages who would take in a large number of apprentices and only start teaching them the real thing after their hair turned white, this was already incredibly benevolent.
Of course, this was still much better than the old generation. At the very least, there hadn't been any news of bad teachers using their apprentices as experimental subjects … or perhaps they had improved on binding spells and corpse destruction techniques.
And now that Rorschach had a handyman … I mean, an apprentice apprentice, his life naturally improved. He also had more time to enjoy his vacation and take extra classes.
In a way, Rorschach himself felt that he was far too relaxed after these few weeks of leisure.
Rorschach saw that Le Qun had already finished her lunch break and was beginning her afternoon work. After filling his stomach, he prepared to go out.
Apprentice? Let's test him first. If I don't take some time to see his character clearly, I'll probably be scammed by him.
After all, the most popular thing in this day and age was to kill one's teacher. For example, a certain amusing mage and his teacher, who was skilled at transforming into small animals, would die and come back to life again and again … Don't misunderstand, the game of World of Warcraft was also quite popular in this area. I was talking about Cadgar and Medivh.
