Chapter 20 Tongue Enchantment
Hearing Lanya’s request, Lin Ge could not help but be startled.
Prince Lieyang was still watching the Baby Bus program in his room. Lin Ge’s small room couldn’t possibly fit three people, not to mention that Lanya was a girl. The sofa in the living room could not accommodate two men either, he and Prince Lieyang.
Seeing Lin Ge’s hesitation, Lanya said in a low voice, “It’s okay if you can’t. I can go to the Goddess of Healing temple. It’s a place that homeless people often go to, and the environment is quite good…”
Her voice was filled with disappointment.
Lin Ge knew that she had misunderstood, so he told her that Prince Lieyang was hiding in his world. He said, “Why don’t you stay in the shop for the night? The sofa in the resting room is quite suitable for sleeping.’ Lin Ge suddenly recalled Neelu’s appearance while sleeping on the sofa.
“Can I? Will your shop manager be unhappy?” Lanya was a little worried.
“I’ll call him when we get to the shop later. It should be fine.”
“Thank you very much.”
Lanya bowed to Lin Ge solemnly. If possible, she did not want to spend the night in the Goddess of Healing temple. The homeless and beggars there were too noisy.
On the way back to the shop, Lin Ge mentioned the Mage Guild and praised it, “What a good guild. Not only is it free to register as an apprentice, but beginner spells are also free for apprentices. It’s much better than the Adventurer’s Guild.”
“Do you know how much it costs for a magic apprentice to take the exam to become an official mage?” Lanya pouted.
“How much?”
“10000 gold coins.”
“So expensive?!” Lin Ge exclaimed.
“Where else would they get the money to build such a magnificent building?”
“Then how many gold coins do the magister and grand magister exams cost?” Lin Ge asked curiously.
“I don’t know,” Lanya said while shaking her head. “But it must be a very outrageous number.’ Lin Ge sighed to himself. No wonder there was no fee for apprentice registration and apprentices were given free access to beginner magic. It was all to increase the number of apprentices and attract more people to take the assessment.
The two quickly returned to the shop and turned on the lights. The empty bar was quiet, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of wine.
“Wait for me in the shop. I’ll go home and bring you something to eat.”
Along the way, Lin Ge had already heard Lanya’s stomach growling. However, since neither of them had any gold coins on them, Lin Ge could only return to Earth and buy some food for her from the convenience shop.
“I’ll go with you.”
Just as Lin Ge opened the door and was about to leave, Lanya grabbed the corner of his clothes.
“You’re afraid?”
“Somehow, I feel that the shop is very gloomy at this hour,” Lanya said in a low voice.
Lin Ge saw how scared she was and couldn’t help but laugh, “Then let’s go together.” As for the eerie feeling that Lanya mentioned, he didn’t feel it, so he thought that she was just timid.
The two of them left the bar and returned to the street on Earth where the exit led to.
When they passed by that convenience shop at the intersection, Lin Ge went in and bought three bottles of sweet milk and three hot lunchboxes. Then, he returned to his place. When he pushed the door open, Prince Lieyang was tapping on the keyboard with two fingers. He walked closer to look at the screen. It was the page of a popular forum, and Prince Lieyang was trying to reply to a popular post.
“You know how to use the forum already?” Lin Ge asked in surprise.
“Who do you think I am?” The Prince laughed arrogantly. “With my learning abilities, I can understand the popular culture here in less than three days. By the way, I’m a little hungry. Is that food you’re holding for me?”
Lin Ge placed the sweet milk and hot lunchboxes on the table and said to the lizardman Prince, “Since you have such a strong learning ability, if you want to stay here for a long time, it’s best to find a simple job, such as being a waiter or something. With your physique, it might be good for you to go to a construction site.”
Prince Lieyang opened the milk bottle and took a sip, “What are you saying? Do you want a noble Prince to serve someone? It’s impossible.”
“Don’t tell me you want to stay in my house and eat and drink for free? A noble Prince would never do such a thing.”
Prince Lieyang thought for a moment and went to the corner of the room. He took out two gemstones that had also turned into stone from the pile of his petrified armor. “What’s the meaning of this?”
Lin Ge looked at the two stones in confusion.
“I won’t live and eat for free, of course. If you take them back to Castaron, they’ll become valuable gems, enough for you to buy a good house in the city. Besides, don’t you and that newbie mage have to register at the Adventurer’s Guild? Without suitable equipment, it will be very difficult for you to complete the registration mission, right? With the money, you can go buy some magic items and equipment, and easily complete the registration task.”
“So for this period, you will provide me with shelter and food here, and I will provide you with the funds to move around in Castaron. How about it?”
Lin Ge thought about it. Indeed, if he could buy a good house in Castaron, what was there to miss about the shared house here? Besides, he could return at any time anyway. So, he accepted Prince Lieyang’s suggestion. “Alright, deal!”
He kept the two stone gems, reminded Prince Lieyang of some things to take note of in the apartment, and left 1000 dollars in cash. Then, he went downstairs.
While Lanya was waiting for him downstairs, she had already finished her share of milk and lunchbox, but she seemed to want more to eat.
So, on the way back to the bar, Lin Ge went to the convenience shop at the intersection and bought another portion of the meal for her.
Returning to the bar, Lin Ge took out the two gemstones. The petrified gemstones gradually lost their stone appearance and returned to their original appearance. A few minutes later, they were shining brightly again. The quality of the gemstones seemed to be even higher than the one that Prince Lieyang had bribed hi with.
“Lanya, take me to exchange these two gemstones for gold coins tomorrow. Then we’ll go buy things.”
Lanya held the chicken chop rice, her cheeks full of food, and nodded hard.
Then, Lin Ge took out his phone and dialed the shop manager’s number.
“Hello, manager.
“Oh, it’s Lin Ge. What’s the matter?” The shop manager’s unique other end of the phone.
neutral voice came from the “Are there any magic items that can help me quickly master the words of this world?”
“That’s easy. Just let the door spirit enchant you. You should already know the door spirit, right?”
“Uh, yes,”
“That’s it then. I’m hanging up. Good night.’ The manager quickly hung up the phone. Lin Ge put down his phone and looked at the door of the bar.
“Who’s the door spirit?” Lanya asked. Lin Ge pointed at the door, and Lanya looked puzzled. Wasn’t that just an ordinary wooden door?
Lin Ge walked to the door and asked softly, “Mr. door spirit, are you asleep?”
A mouth suddenly appeared on the door. The lips were full, and the teeth were neat and white. It looked more like a woman’s mouth. “Didn’t I tell you not to call me Mr? Also, I don’t need to sleep. I already know what you want, so give me your hand.”
“To where?”!
Lin Ge stared at the mouth. It couldn’t possibly ask him to put his hand in this mouth, right?
Lanya also stopped eating and stared at the mouth that appeared on the door. A door with a mouth! “What are you thinking about? Just put your hand at a distance where I can lick.” After saying that, a pink tongue stuck out from the mouth on the door and tried to stretch forward as if it was testing how far it could go.
Seeing that Lin Ge didn’t reach his hand over, the door spirit said impatiently, “What are you waiting for? Give me your hand! Otherwise, how am I supposed to enchant you?” Lin Ge clenched his hands and swallowed hard.
Was he really going to let it lick him? It felt so disgusting…
