Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 84:
Hopps carried his luggage and came to the dormitory arranged for him by the Ministry of Mines.
This is a four-person dormitory. One of his roommates has already arrived and is sitting on the bed reading a book.
Looking at that roommate's long silky hair and slightly pointed ears, you can tell that he has an elf blood. Moreover, the bloodline concentration may not be low, because Hops can feel the natural magic lingering on him.
As a quasi-spellcaster in the direction of the druid, Hopps can cast some natural magic of the magic level, but not the more advanced ones.
In his perception, the magic power in that roommate is much stronger than himself. It is estimated that it is not a warlock of natural direction, or a druid, and the level is not low, it may have reached the level of intermediate.
How can an intermediate adventurer come to be a prospecting worker?
He was a little puzzled, but he didn't want to rush in rashly, just greeted him first.
The colleague named Sid is a very quiet person. After everyone introduced each other, he continued to sit by the bed and read, without any murmurs.
Fortunately, Hopps was not the kind of person who would be embarrassed if he had nothing to say. He smiled, put his luggage away, and went out on his own.
Because of the rush, he only carried some simple luggage. During the introduction, Director Klitto said that they will be training here for a period of time, so he has to buy some daily necessities.
Toothpowder and toothbrush for mouthwashing, underwear to wash and wash, simple washing utensils such as washbasin, and a thermos bottle that is easy to use but not convenient for long-distance transport... When Hopps comes back with a large bag of things on his back At the time, the other roommate who arrived after him was stunned.
"You...how do you get so many things?" the thick and dark man asked in surprise.
"A lot?" Hops put down things lightly, and looked at it suspiciously, "Four thermos bottles, one for each of us, and two for common use. Four basins, one for each. Toothbrush, toothpaste, towel Whatever, it’s for four people... But I only bought my own underwear. If you want to buy it, you have to run by yourself..."
The big man then understood and thanked him again and again. Then he asked him how much money was spent on these things, saying that he couldn't let him pay for it, and he had to pay.
"No need." Hops smiled and said, "I asked the dormitory manager when I went downstairs. Normal daily necessities can be reimbursed with the store receipt, so I bought everyone back. ."
Speaking, he blinked his eyes happily: "Don't you think I'm boring with so much money? It's not!"
The big man couldn't help but laugh, and when he finished laughing, he introduced himself.
His name is Ruby, and he is an immigrant from the Gold Coin Federation. Unlike Hopps and Sid, he is not a technician with a background of science, but a retired adventurer.
"Retired? Are you very old?" Hopps asked suspiciously.
"Not very old, only thirty years old." Ruby said with a smile, "but I debuted as an adventurer when I was sixteen. In a blink of an eye I went home for fourteen years... I wanted to make money and go home. Living a stable life, but making money is really not easy. After finally making some money, it turns out...well, let’s not talk about it!"
He was obviously a little sad. He shook his head and was too lazy to say: "Anyway, I retired, and later came here, because I learned some skills in exploration and survival in the wild when I was taking a risk, so I signed up as a prospector. After doing it for more than half a year, this time I didn’t know how to be selected."
"Then you must be great!" Hops said.
Ruby shook his head: "Awesome? Compared to Sid, I am not at all amazing. He is really amazing."
Hopps was taken aback, and his gaze at Sid suddenly became a little more in awe.
Sid, who was mentioned, sighed, put down the book, and said helplessly: "You don’t want to praise me casually. I'm far from the word'excellent'! To say great, let's Uncle Klitto who leads the team is really amazing. Compared with him, I am probably just an ant on the side of the road."
"Uncle Klitto?" Hops was taken aback and asked, "Didn't Director Klitto look quite young?"
"Young? His daughter was just engaged not long ago and will get married next year. You say he is young?" Sid couldn't help but laugh, "He is just a baby face and not old."
Hopes was taken aback, recalling Director Klitto's face that looked no more than twenty-five years old, and he couldn't imagine that such a person would have a daughter who was about to get married.
"Did he get married very early, and his daughter got married very early?" Ruby asked.
"He got married very early, but his daughter is getting married late." Sid is obviously familiar with Director Klitto, after thinking about it, and saying, "Sister Yui is twenty-six or twenty-seven this year. Here, he is not young anyway. I remember that he was very worried for a while, saying that he was worried that his daughter would not be able to get married..."
"What happened later?" Ruby asked curiously.
"Later? Later, he tried to arrange a blind date for his daughter, and then Sister Yui made a big deal, saying that she was going to run away or something... After Aunt Niss talked to her, she was a little more honest God. Later, she talked about her boyfriend without knowing what, and then suddenly said that she was going to get married...At that time, Uncle Klitto suddenly jumped into a thunder, saying that her daughter was abducted by the wild boy and almost ran to kill someone... "
Hopes imagined it for a moment, and it was roughly understandable.
When my daughter is older, she is worried that she won’t be able to marry. When she finds a partner, she is worried about the inhumanity she entrusted. This kind of thing is quite common, and it’s common for dads.
Before and after my eldest sister got married, my father was so worried and uneasy.
"Oh! If you want me to say Uncle Klitto, he just likes to worry about it! Aunt Niss is almost 60 years old and hasn't found a partner, and I haven't seen her worry."
Hopps blinked, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
He turned his head to look at Ruby, who also looked blank.
Almost sixty years old and not married yet? This is already an old woman!
This is no longer a question of not being in a hurry, it is simply despair...
Sid is a very observant person, I can see their thoughts at a glance~IndoMTL.com~Laughing: "Don’t think about it, Aunt Niss, like me, is of dominant elf blood and has a long lifespan. Now. And she is still a high-level mage, and it is estimated that she will even step into the realm of legend in a few years. A mere sixty years old is nothing to her."
The two of them came to understand and couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, Hopps asked curiously: "Sid, listening to you, you and Director Clitto are very familiar with them?"
"Yeah, I almost grew up with Sister Yui." Sid said, "Why don't we say that our parents are unreliable! One and two are workaholics..."
"Then what is your origin?"
"Me? I'm just an ordinary half-elf." Sid smiled and said, "My parents are the first batch of students of Principal Felix, and they came to build the town of Pyroxene with her. Yes. Later they got married here and gave birth to me. At that time, Uncle Klitto and Aunt Asna had already arrived here, and Sister Yoi was also born. Later... I was regarded as the first batch of kindergarten in Pyroxen Town. Student."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing: "According to some bards, I am a pure native Northwester."
