Green Wizard

砰,砰,砰,沉重的门上传来猛烈的敲门声.小屋里,睡在破旧被子里的格林瞬间被吵醒了.脚下冰冷的麻木让他喘不过气来,但格林不敢拖延,大喊道:"我来了.格林不顾几近冻僵,失去知觉的双脚,赶紧穿上破旧的衣服,拿起盖在破旧被子上的皮夹克作为第二条被子,打开了木门.冬天的寒风吹来,夹杂着冰屑,格林的身体受到了震惊.门外,老汉姆蜷缩在破旧的木马车里,一手拿着鞭子,一手拿着烟斗,马车在颠簸的雪地上留下了两条痕迹."快点,今天路不易走,迟到会被骂的."老汉姆吸了一口烟斗后对格林喃喃自语."哦,我明白了."格林关上了木门,迅速上了马车.他已经习惯了.基本上,自从他跟着汉叔叔去做这份稳定的工作后,他每天都会听到他喃喃自语.汉姆没有多说什么.他抽了一口烟斗,狠狠地抽打了那匹马.老马呻吟着,继续在颠簸的雪地里拉着马车向前走.格林靠在破损的马车护栏上,看着漆黑的天空,又闭上了眼睛.因为根据以往的经验,在这样的下雪天,那辆老马车至少需要半个小时才能到达城里子爵的家,而且那时已经快天亮了.靠在马车上,格林闻到了熟悉的干烟草香味,从心底里对老汉姆感激不尽.格林从小就是个孤儿.他经常跟着一群孤儿到比塞尔市闲逛,过着饥饿乞讨的生活.有一天,年老无子的汉姆看到了格林,非常兴奋.当他想到自己没有孩子时,他把格林带回去,笑道:"等我死了,这两间小屋和那匹老马就归你了.说实话,这两间乡间小屋和旧马车真的一文不值,但格林却对老汉姆充满了感激之情,把他当作自己重生的父母.至于老汉姆和格林的生计,就是每天天一亮就赶到比塞尔的子爵府邸,清理完那些狂欢了一整夜的贵族们留下的大量垃圾,送到城外清理干净,然后去子爵的领地购买第二天晚上狂欢的所有物资.这次往返几乎花了大半天的时间.半个多小时后,路面开始变得光滑,地面铺满了石路.在马车里打瞌睡的格林在没有老汉姆的提醒下立即醒来.他知道自己已经到了比塞尔城,即将到达子爵府.他急忙扫去身上的积雪,整理了自己的外表.虽然据说,当格林和老汉姆每天到来时,城里那些在子爵府狂欢一夜的贵族们,大部分都已经散去,就算偶尔有零星的没有离开,高高在上的贵族主子也不会看这两位卑微的仆人一眼.外表完全没用.但子爵府的老管家是个难相处的人物.他总是让格林难为过,格林是一个打零工的仆人,等着得到一些好处.他不止一次地以外表不整洁为借口,向老汉姆勒索银币.子爵府门口的两名高大健壮的骑士守卫,经过一夜的守卫,已经筋疲力尽.他们瞥了一眼老汉姆和格林,没有理会他们,因为这些年来他们已经对他们太熟悉了.老汉姆抱歉地笑了笑,而格林则跳下马车,低下头进入子爵府邸.他不敢再多看了,径直走向每天都要仔细打扫的豪华大厅.原本无精打采的格林和老汉姆突然觉得,今天的气氛似乎不一样了.他们看到殿口的子爵府老管家,脸色阴沉,一双凶狠的三角眼睛狠狠地盯着格林和老汉姆.小跑了一会儿后,他来到他们两人身边,低声说:"在这里等着,塞上耳朵,闭上眼睛."是的,是的."格林和老汉姆急忙回应.大厅里传来一阵微弱的嘈杂声.虽然不是很清楚,但可以隐约分辨出那是一个大声喧哗的女孩.本能地,格林和老汉姆知道这应该是一场大战.等了将近半个小时,天空完全亮了下来.格林和老汉姆在雪地里冻得跺脚发抖.等在大厅门口的老管家阴沉着脸走了过来,低声说道:"你受不了,明天就别来了.格林和老汉姆变了脸.挣扎了好几次,老汉姆从破烂不堪的麻布衣服里掏出一枚银币塞进老管家手里,笑着说:"我受得了,我受得了."哼."老管家熟练地将银币塞进口袋,不理会两人,焦急地守在大厅门口,时不时地往里看.格林忍不住低声道:"该死,他前几天刚刚从我们这里拿了好处,现在又要了!"哦,算了,忍耐吧,想干我们工作的人很多,老管家也等不及我们走了."老汉姆叹了口气.当人老了,即将入世时,就不会再有年轻人的火爆脾气了.就在这时,一个女孩急忙冲出大厅,穿着奢华高贵的衣服,但她娇嫩的脸上却布满了泪水.她跑到格林和老汉姆面前停了下来,对着大厅喊道:"我只想要我哥哥亚伦,我不会去莉莉丝的小屋,更不会成为巫师!说完,女孩似乎还是不满意,狠狠地掏出一本书扔了出去,大步走出了子爵府."Rebellion! Rebellion! What are you two still standing there for? Why don't you chase them quickly?" The noble lord with a big belly was so angry that his face turned red, and he roared at the two knights in armor beside him. However, what made Green unbelievable was that the Viscount, who was usually high and mighty, was helpless at this time, standing beside the noble lord with a smile, whispering something to persuade him."Humph, what does she know? For that little lover, she actually gave up the wizard I spent a huge price to invite? You know, half a year later is..." In a hurry, the Viscount followed the noble lord with a big belly and left the Viscount's Mansion without even looking at Green and Old Ham. As for the old housekeeper, he followed him out in a hurry, and took the two guards away before leaving, disappearing in the snow.In a blink of an eye, the yard became empty and silent.Seeing that there was no one around, Green instinctively wanted to pick up the book on the ground in front of him, but Old Ham stepped forward, tapped Green's hand with his pipe, and said in a low voice: "Are you going to die?"Green grinned in pain and whispered: "It should be okay? If someone asks about it, we will say that we are cleaning up the garbage and throwing it away. Anyway, it was thrown on the ground by the noble lady just now."Old Ham thought about it, looked up again and saw that there was no one around, and nodded, which was considered as tacit approval of Green. Green put the book into his clothes, and then followed Old Ham to clean the hall as if nothing had happened. The huge amount of garbage left in the hall after the noble master's night of revelry was all swept into the carriage. Until he left, no one asked about the whereabouts of the book, so Green didn't care.After all, in the past, there were often treasures mixed in the garbage that the nobles despised but the servants loved very much.With a creak, the carriage loaded with a full load of garbage slowly left the city of Bissel. Sitting on the carriage loaded with garbage, Green lost his sleepiness and suddenly thought of something. He took out the book he had picked up from his arms.Frowning, servants like Green who worked hard for the nobles were generally illiterate. It was because Old Ham had worked as an accounting apprentice in a restaurant when he was young. Although the restaurant was closed later, he also learned to read and handed it over to Green in the past few years.However, the reason why Green frowned was that the handwriting on the cover of this book was not commonly used in daily life. It was some unfamiliar words. After thinking for a long time, Green recognized these words."Hunting Nose Transformation and Smell Atlas"? What is this? "Green stared, thinking it was a biography of a bard, which was also the favorite book of those noble ladies and gentlemen, but he didn't expect that the noble lady just threw a book with such a strange name.Wait!Green suddenly thought of something, widened his eyes, full of disbelief! Could this be a book about mysterious magic recorded by wizards?Wizards have always been a topic that only noble gentlemen are qualified to talk about. Ordinary people may not even see a mysterious wizard once in their lifetime. In the eyes of ordinary people, wizards master mysterious magic, full of evil and mystery. There are often rumors that wizards do some large-scale massacres of ordinary people, even eat children's eyes, and use ordinary people for evil magic experiments. But because wizards can easily kill ordinary people and even knights, they are great and awe-inspiring.Even Green has imagined more than once, what do those mysterious and great wizards rely on to master those mysterious and great powers? Why can't ordinary people master it? If I become a wizard and master those mysterious and great powers, I don't have to look at the faces of those noble masters anymore, right? Whoever dares to say that I am a pariah will be killed directly.With an incredible look, Green quickly flipped through the book "Hunting Nose Transformation and Smell Atlas" he got, and began to read it word by word. Sometimes when he encountered unfamiliar words, he had to think carefully or even skip them temporarily. Slowly, a touch of shock began to appear on Green's face, as if he had opened the door to a whole new world!The so-called smell is the volatile molecules of different substances in the air that are distinguished by the biological olfactory system. The most irritating odor occupies half of the taste that organisms can distinguish.According to the "Smell Atlas", normal humans can distinguish about 30 to 400 kinds of smells. Occasionally, some people with special functions can distinguish about 600 kinds of smells, but this kind of smell discrimination is pitifully low compared to some other creatures.For example, the baby-crying chicken, a chicken-like creature that can make cries like human babies, can distinguish at least 6,500 kinds of smells according to experiments.Another example is the Yin butterfly, a magical creature that can only survive by collecting bad smells, which can distinguish more than 8,200 kinds of smells...The book mentions that the creature that can capture the most smells in the air is called the three-headed dog. This is a powerful creature that many wizards dare not provoke. It can distinguish any known smell that wizards can separate from the air, a total of 17,852 kinds, which is simply incredible."Hunting Nose Transformation" tells the story of using the sensitive sense of smell of certain creatures to transform themselves according to the wizard's own physical condition to achieve the perfect evolution of the sense of smell. The so-called magic experiment involves many strange materials, and Green has not figured out the most common word in the book so far, cell?"Green, Green!" After Old Ham shouted twice, Green came back to his senses from the wonder of the magic book, hurriedly put away the magic book, and helped Old Ham to dump the garbage on the carriage. After dumping all the garbage on the carriage, Green followed Old Ham and began to purchase goods from the Viscount's territory according to the previous specifications, for the consumption of those noble gentlemen tonight.It was busy until the evening, and Old Ham and Green transported all the goods to the Viscount's house in the city, and then took a dozen copper coins and rushed back to the countryside. In the carriage, Green was still absorbed in reading the book "Hunting Nose Transformation and Smell Atlas".Old Ham looked back at Green and sighed, "You kid, you are really obsessed today. Is this book so good?"Green smiled and said nothing more, but he was full of yearning and shock for this mysterious wizard world. Are there really moving mountains in the world? Rivers flowing from the sky? And what are those foreign worlds? What is the principle of wizards mastering powerful magic power?A series of questions came to Green's mind, but no one could answer them."Hey, you are already seventeen years old in a blink of an eye, right? Well, renovate the house next year and see if you can find a suitable girl from a nearby family to be your wife. I hope I can see my grandson before I bury myself." Old Ham muttered.Green muttered casually without raising his head: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are old and live a hundred years, thousands of generations, and it is not a problem to unify the world.""Hehe..." Old Ham was amused by Green and continued to drive the carriage back to the familiar road.
