Chapter 59 007: Night Watchman? (Seeking follow-up reading)
Luo Xi: “.”
Looking at the old man eating heartily in front of him, Luo Xi deeply suspected that the other party came here not to verify his identity, but simply because of the smell.
The old man finished the grilled fish in no time. Obviously, he was not full yet and looked at the remaining grilled fish eagerly.
Pretty cheeky Luo Xi raised his hand and said casually: "If you like, please help yourself. A few grilled fish are not expensive."
"Haha." The old man laughed heartily: "Then I won't be polite, but I won't eat your food for free, as an equal exchange."
He took out a space pocket and took out a set of exquisite wine vessels from the pocket, including a beautiful golden wine pot and two beautiful silver wine glasses.
The old man picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses of wine, then handed one to Luo Xi: "Try it."
Don't eat strangers' food when you are out, but the night watchman is almost equivalent to a civil servant, and his credibility is still relatively high, so he is not likely to plot against him, a young apprentice.
The wizarding world also has rules and laws. Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts mean paying them back. These are the cornerstones of maintaining world order.
So after thinking about it, Luo Xi took the wine glass.
As soon as he got the wine glass, he felt that the wine was unusual. A very strong elemental smell came to his nose. The overflowing elements even made Luo Xi feel as if he was in the wizarding world rather than the mortal land of the elemental desert.
He asked in surprise: "What kind of wine is this?"
He had only seen the same elemental concentration in the manor of the Elzerin family. No, this was probably many times more concentrated than the elemental pool back then.
Joey explained nonchalantly, "It's not some famous wine. It's just a drink I brewed myself. It's called Soul Cleansing Wine. I make my own spices. Isn't it just right to pair it with my own brewed water?"
Seeing the old man so open-minded, Luo Xi also laughed: "Just right? Well, then I'll try this just right."
After saying that, he raised his glass and drank the wine in it.
As soon as the wine went down his throat, Luo Xi immediately felt an extremely surging elemental energy rushing down his throat. It was not wine that he was drinking, it was elements that he was drinking.
The density of these elements was beyond Luo Xi's imagination. In just a moment, he felt that his entire internal organs were filled with elements. This effect was like eating a few pieces of magic stones raw, and they had to be high-grade magic stones.
Just when Luo Xidu subconsciously thought that he was going to be blown up by this horrific elemental energy, something magical happened.
These elemental energies suddenly and spontaneously began to flow in his body, rushing along his blood vessels and nerves into his brain and finally merging into his spiritual sea of consciousness.
A steady stream of elemental energy poured into his spiritual sea of consciousness. In just a short while, Luo Xi felt as if he had been meditating for several days.
Moreover, this energy seemed to have an indescribable strange effect. The absorbed elements were purer. Under the effect of this pure energy, he felt that his entire spiritual consciousness and even his soul were cleansed.
Luo Xi was shocked: "This is..."
Joey smiled and said, "How is it? This wine I brewed is not bad, right?"
Luo Xi quickly put down the wine glass, bowed solemnly and said: "Sorry, I didn't know this before. This is too expensive."
He didn't know what materials this wine was made of, but it was not difficult to tell from its unusual and strange effects that it was definitely not an ordinary thing.
A trace of disdain flashed across Joey's face. "Is this the apprentice from the Elemental Castle? He is so timid and cowardly that those who don't know him would think he is a rat from the sewer."
After a pause, he put down his hand and said philosophically, "It's an equal exchange. I ate your grilled fish and gave you a pot of wine. The value of everything in the world depends on itself, not on anyone. There's no need to feel like you've gotten a great deal."
A very strange old man.
Seeing that he said so, Luo Xi simply stopped pretending and shrugged, saying, "I'm just pretending to be polite. Since you said so..."
He then handed the glass forward: "Fill it up."
Joey was stunned at first, then he burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this is more like it."
He smiled and poured Luo Xi a full glass.
While eating grilled fish and drinking wine, Luo Xi also chatted with Joey.
Joey said, "The spices are good, but it's a pity that it's a bit of a waste to use the fish from this stream. If it was the Silver Fish from the Fountain of Youth or the Moonlight Fish from the Moon Lake, it would definitely taste better."
Is this really just a night watchman? Luo Xi didn't know where Moon Lake was, but he had heard of the Fountain of Youth. It was said that it was a spring in the Eternal Forest west of the Wizard Continent, and it had a special effect. A sip of the spring water could make people stay young forever.
All creatures nurtured by this spring water possess extremely strong vitality. Any one of them, if placed in the wizarding world, would be a treasure that everyone would flock to.
Because of this, even though the one who owns the spring is the world's top level 5 powerful Wizarding Old Crown, over the years there have still been many daring wizards who sneak into the forest to steal and rob.
Rosie didn't know exactly how much the night watchman was paid, but he was sure that he could not afford to talk about the silver fish so casually. It was just like an ordinary person talking about the crown on the king's head.
But is this really just an old man's big talk? Perhaps seeing Luo Xi's confusion, Joey took the initiative to answer: "Why are you so curious? Besides, you have been working diligently all your life to keep watch, so shouldn't you allow others to splurge on a couple of good meals?"
"It must be fate that we met in this wilderness. Does our past matter? Why not enjoy a good meal and a nice drink at night?"
Hearing him say this, Luo Xi knew that the other party did not intend to discuss this issue in depth, so he let go of his entanglement. After all, what the old man said was right. Meeting each other was a fate. Wouldn't it be nice to drink and eat grilled fish together? Thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Indeed, the fish in the stream is always a little bland, but to fully bring out the taste of the spices, you don't need precious things like silver fish. Some pheasants and rabbits will do."
Hearing this, Joey's eyes lit up: "Pheasant, hare, is it that simple?"
Luo Xi was just about to jokingly ask him if he was planning to catch some wild game, but he didn't expect the old man to have taken action first.
But he grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it towards the ground in front of him. The soil on the ground suddenly seemed to come alive, wriggling and gathering towards the middle, and mixed with a few stones to form several stone men about half a meter high.
Joey raised his hand and pointed towards the forest: "Go, catch two pheasants and a hare for me in the forest."
The stone man jumped into the forest.
Luo Xi looked at this magical scene and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Are you a wizard from the alchemy school?"
The stone figure just now was none other than the clay alchemy puppet from the alchemy school.
