Master Tongtian

The sound insulation of the wooden house is poor, and any movement or noise can be easily penetrated, which itself is also a major source of noise.

Wooden boards are easily deformed by moisture and emit an unpleasant musty smell.

Rats grind their teeth and like to gnaw on wooden boards, so you can often hear strange "chicking, gurgling, gurgling" sounds when you sleep at night.

When burning a fireplace in winter, you must be very careful, otherwise it is easy to turn your home into a big bonfire and you become a barbecue.

In comparison, the stone house does not have these shortcomings at all. If it has an independent courtyard, it will be perfect.

No. 129, Red Snapper Alley along the river in Greenleaf City, is the new residence of the master and apprentice.

After stepping out of the rented carriage, he took the key and opened the courtyard door. What he saw was a well-kept garden.

Around the garden, there is a stone wall more than 2 meters high, dividing the residence into a small independent world.

In the middle of the garden stands a two-story stone building of about 200 square meters.

The exterior wall of the small building is made of hard blue ashlar stone with lime mortar. The exterior wall is pure natural while the interior wall is decorated with decorative light blue lime.

When the two arrived, it was exactly 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the afternoon sun shone down, hitting the front of the small building.

There are five square windows on the front of the small building, all of which are equipped with high-quality glass. The sunlight shines through the glass, illuminating the entire stone house very brightly, and you can easily imagine the warmth inside.

The most exciting thing is the second floor.

There is a small semicircular balcony, which is surrounded by expensive mirrored glass to protect it from wind and rain and block outsiders' sight, but it does not block the sun.

With the good weather like today, it feels comfortable to sit on the balcony and enjoy afternoon tea leisurely in the afternoon.

"Ah~ there is actually a well in the yard."

Now is the time for lively Alice. She lifted up her skirt and ran towards the well in small steps. She saw that the well water was crystal clear and exuded a crystal-like luster under the sunlight.

Just looking at it makes people feel comfortable.

The stone house has always been taken care of by someone, a well-dressed middle-aged man named Ma Fu, who is a professional housekeeper.

At this time, he acts as a guide.

He smiled and introduced: "The original owner spent at least 200 crowns to dig this well."

"This well has also returned the owner's investment. There are at least five springs at the bottom of the well. No matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, the well water is always clear and overflowing."

Rosen was also very satisfied, because Thrandis liked to bathe and consumed a lot of water. With this well, he didn't have to go out to fetch water every day.

Soon, the two followed Ma Fu into the small building.

"The stone house has three floors, two above ground and one underground."

"The basement is a storage room. It is very cool but slightly damp. It can store some items that are resistant to moisture but not heat, such as bottles of fine wine."

"The hall on the first floor has a large fireplace that connects the two floors, and also has a hall, kitchen, two guest rooms, and an independent bathroom."

"Heating flues are set up in the walls of each room, and each flue has a special switch that can be turned on and off according to the situation."

"There is a flower hall on the second floor, as well as three bedrooms, a dedicated dressing room, and a small and exquisite sun terrace."

"Because someone has been maintaining it, the furniture and decoration in the house are well preserved. This can save the two of them a lot of renovation costs."

"Of course, you two need to prepare clothes, bedding, and some fragile daily furniture by yourself."

"It's really good."

Thrandis was extremely satisfied. This was much more comfortable than her original cabin, and her quality of life had improved dramatically.

The housekeeper Ma Fu said with a smile: "If there are no problems with you two, then the house handover is over and I have to go back to Wangyue Garden to report on my work."

Rosen's heart moved: "Mr. Ma Fu, are you employed by the Internal Affairs Department of Wangyue Garden?"

Ma Fu nodded reservedly: "Yes."

"Oh, thank you very much, we're fine."

Ma Fu bowed slightly, saluted, and left neatly.

Rosen and Thrandis were the only two people left in the small building and courtyard.

Rosen suggested: "Mentor, let's hire a cook with excellent cooking skills?"

Thrandis smiled teasingly: "Why, do you find it troublesome to cook for your mentor?"

"No, no, no~ It's just that sometimes when I go out to work, I may not be able to come back in time. With a cook, the instructor doesn't have to worry about being hungry."

"It makes sense, then hire one."

"I just took a look. There is a servant's room in the backyard that can accommodate four servants. So, we can also hire a gardener to help take care of the garden."

"By the way, I see there is a small stable in the backyard. Why don't we just buy a carriage and hire a coachman, or hire a gardener who can drive the carriage."

"With such luxury, the money will not be enough."

Although Alice is enthusiastic and lively and has no fingers in the water, she has learned some prudent calculations after being poor for three years.

Rosen agreed: "Well, that's right. Then hire a cook, a cleaning maid, and a gardener."

But I thought to myself: ‘The cost of a decent life has indeed increased significantly. ’

In this way, he would have to paint more to make money.

'It's just that painting makes money. Every effort is rewarded. If you don't do it, there is no income. It's a wood-cutting type of work. "

"The more time you spend painting, the less time you spend learning spells. It's not very cost-effective. If only I could find a job like sheep herding.'

In this way, he can not only make money to support his family, but also have enough time to learn magic, killing two birds with one stone.

But where can I find such a good job?

Ask the instructor?

As soon as the idea came to mind, I heard Alice's voice coming from the heating platform.

"Rosen~~ Open a bottle of cider quickly, let's have an afternoon drink."

"Okay, mentor."

He took out a bottle of high-quality apple cider from the luggage that had not yet been unsealed, and then took out two crystal glasses. After each person poured a glass, they took it to the balcony on the second floor.

When they arrived at the balcony, they saw Alice lying on a wicker chair with her legs curled up, squinting her eyes lazily and playing with the ends of her hair leisurely with one hand, like an elegant and cute cat.

When handing over the wine glass, several thoughts flashed through Rosen's mind.

"The mentor is a rare magic genius, but in terms of life, she is a standard noble lady."

"Asking her to find ways to make money is equivalent to asking blindly. It will yield no results and will also bring her the troubles of the world."

"My mentor is devoted to me in terms of magic. Leave all the trivial matters in this world to me, the apprentice."

With this thought, Rosen completely concealed his thoughts and started drinking leisurely with Thrandis on the balcony.

After half a glass of apple nectar, Thrandis's cheeks turned bright red, and she sighed contentedly.

"Ah~~How wonderful~~~My dearest apprentice, I seem to have returned to my girlhood again."

Rosen smiled and said: "Teacher, in my heart, you will always be a beautiful girl."

"Hehe~~ My dearest apprentice, come here, the instructor wants to give you a kiss."

Naturally, Rosen would not refuse.

After a sweet kiss, he asked again: "Teacher, would you like to give your new home a name?"

Alice tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said: "The new home is very warm and full of sunshine. Although it is not as good as a real large manor, it is small and exquisite. Is it called a sunshine house?"

Rosen praised sincerely: "What a good name."

Then he said: "Teacher, it's late, and we still have to clean up the room. You can rest here and leave everything to me."

"Go to your business, my dearest apprentice."

Rosen quickly went downstairs, cleaned, spread quilts, put away clothes, arranged various daily necessities, and then went out to buy groceries and prepare dinner. After a series of busy activities, he got his life back on track as quickly as possible.

In the evening, Anna began to teach Rosen the magic knowledge in the flower hall on the second floor.

She is also quite satisfied with the new environment.

“The room is quiet, clean and spacious, the air is fresh and warm, it’s great.”

Because of the better environment, her lecture ideas became much clearer, and the one who benefited was naturally Rosen, the apprentice.

So, one taught and the other learned, time flowed quietly and silently.

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, Rosen rushed to the Hound House to paint as usual.

After painting "Beach Party", he was in no hurry to leave.

While Uncle Harrick was busy framing the painting, he expressed his thoughts.

Harrick laughed after hearing this.

"Rosen, the idea is a good idea, and you are not the only one who thinks so, the noble lords also think so."

“Not only do they think ahead of you, they do it earlier and thoroughly than you do.”

"In Silver Moon Castle, there is a nobleman behind all the easy and profitable businesses, such as hotels, casinos, brothels, etc. Those who operate on the facade are all servants of the nobleman."

Speaking of this, the red-haired man in his early thirties let out a long sigh.

"In short, if you want to live a decent life in Silver Moon Castle, you can only serve the big family. Otherwise, even if you make money, you won't be able to keep it."

Rosen thought about his past experiences and found that this was indeed the case.

In fact, he is now serving the Omicia family, because Chabolai is a member of the Omicia family, and it is precisely because of his protection that Juese Studio can operate safely to this day.

The problem is that Chabolai is the second son, his status is not high enough, and the protection he can provide is not strong enough. Naturally, he does not make enough money.

He couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, it would be great if Uncle Xia Bolay was the Earl of Silver Moon Castle.

Rosen asked again.

"Uncle Harrick, can commoners become nobles?"

"Yes, you can surrender to the lords and work for them. If you perform enough meritorious deeds, you can be knighted."

"However, most knights are honorary titles. If you want to become a noble lord with your own territory, it depends on fate."

Having said this, Harik turned to look at Rosen.

"Boy, I can understand what you're thinking."

"I can only say that if you want to ignore worldly matters and focus on studying magic, you must at least become a baron, and your territory must be quite wealthy, bringing you at least 5,000 kroner in income a year."

"Is there no other way?"

"There is no other way."

"Uncle, you know so much." Rosen praised.

This knowledge is not much different from that of Earth, but the details are different. This is normal, after all, human nature is the same.

Harrick gave a faint wry smile: "Because I was just as restless as you back then, until I was hit by an arrow in the thigh. Okay, now that the painting is done, I have to send it to the buyer."

He carried the painting and left, while Rosen fell into deep thought.

For the next month and a half, nothing happened and everything was on track.

But there are changes.

Rosen's spellcasting ability has successfully stabilized at four stars, and is faintly breaking through to five stars.

His mana has also increased a lot, and he can now release about 10 small missiles in one go.

He has also made great achievements in magic and has learned all three virtues and six skills.

In addition, with the joint efforts of master and apprentice, gravity spells have also developed significantly. In addition to some ordinary applications, a very powerful spell has also been developed.

The difficulty level is 4 stars, and it’s called ‘The Power of Impermanence’.

Rosen's understanding of gravity far exceeds that of ordinary people. Coupled with the high intensity of his magic power, the power of the impermanence he releases can reach the mid-level and lower levels, and because of the special nature of gravity-based spells, it is extremely difficult to defend against.

In fact, only gravity spells can directly resist gravity spells, while other types of spells can only resist indirectly.

With the help of virtual machines, Rosen was able to quickly master these new spells.

This morning, Rosen was painting at the Hound House. Halfway through the painting, he heard a loud "dong dong dong" sound coming from the direction of the stairs.

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

"Rosen~Rosen~~Good news~~Big good news~~"

It was Uncle Xia Bolai who had been depressed for more than a month.
