Carrying the goat's body, Tialfi and Forseti walked back.
"You do this every day?" Forseti asked.
"Yeah, this is my job," Tialfi said.
Forseti was silent. He suddenly realized that catching sheep in the Landveti Forest was not as easy and fun as he imagined. Tialfi's professional sheep-catching was really not fun.
A few hours in the forest just for a fat sheep, it felt like a waste of time for Forseti.
After all, he didn't need to hunt sheep for a living; he just wanted to catch four-horned goats and go to Nornheim.
Forseti thought for a while: "I've moved to Landvety Town. From now on, I'll go to the pub for dinner every noon. After dinner, I'll go around the forest with you, but it shouldn't be long."
"That works."
The two walked back, only to encounter a gray wolf on the way.
This gray wolf was huge, bigger than a lion or tiger on Earth, and its fangs were long.
It lay not far away, growling lowly in its throat, and looked at Forseti and Tialfi vigilantly: "Roar..."
Tialfi held the knife in his hand and said while detouring: "Generally speaking, the wolves in the Landveti Forest will not take the initiative to attack people. Fighting people is not good for them, and of course, it is not good for us either. - The strength of these wolves is so strong that some people die."
"Let's be careful, we can just go around."
The two were careful and vigilant, and bypassed the gray wolf. The gray wolf also roared and slowly backed away. When the two sides were far apart, it turned and ran away, disappearing into the dense forest.
Back at the tavern, Tialfi handed the fat sheep to the attendant in exchange for some gold coins, and then went back to the forest.
...
A few days passed by.
Forseti's house had been built, a small two-story building with a plaque next to the door, which read "Azeroth Herbal Shop".
Artisans were doing the final work, framing the medicine garden. Because it was not far from the forest, there would inevitably be beasts, insects, and snakes, so the fence had to be high and strong.
Forseti and a craftsman were busy carrying furniture, tables, chairs, beds, etc., and moved them into the house one by one.
And of course the most important thing in the herbal store, all kinds of pharmaceutical tools. In order to buy these pharmaceutical tools, Forseti spent hundreds of runes.
This was still a basic tool, which could only meet the production of common medicines.
As for various advanced medicines, other more complicated tools were also required, which were expensive, and Forseti couldn't afford them for the time being.
After working for a long time, he finally got all the utensils and fences.
Although the cost of building the house had been subsidized by the royal family, Forseti still invited all the craftsmen to the Brave Hunter Tavern to have a roast whole lamb to express his gratitude.
When he got home, he was lying on his bed, in a good mood.
Finally got my own place...
After lying down for a while, Forseti looked at the empty bookshelf next to him, and after thinking about it, he got up and went out the door again. He came to Ada Town and found a bookstore.
"What do you want?" the bookstore owner, an old man, asked.
Forseti: "Where's the Greenhilde Pharmacopoeia?"
The boss pointed to a bookshelf: "Just there, take a look."
Forseti came to the bookshelf. The books on it were big and thick tomes, pharmacopoeia, historical materials, and so on.
He fetched several pharmacopeias, including Greenhilde's Pharmacopoeia, and then picked out a few others.
Just as he was about to leave, Forseti's eyes suddenly narrowed.
He saw that on the bottom layer of a certain bookshelf, there were several tomes of silver and white, with "Allspeak" written on the spine.
Summary?
Summary language was the universal language of the whole universe,
Forseti had long been interested in this, but had never had the opportunity to study.
He then brought out another copy of "Allspeak". To his surprise, the book was surprisingly heavy, and it was even slightly difficult for him to hold it with one hand.
The bookstore owner smiled.
Forseti held the book and asked, "How much is the total?"
"The 'Allspeak' is priced at one hundred runes, and the rest will be given to you," said the bookstore owner.
Forseti almost spit out blood: "One hundred runes?!"
The shop owner seemed to have expected it: "'Allspeak' Language' is a book of audio and text, and the cost of materials alone is at least ten runes... Do you think the Allspeak language is so easy to learn?"
Forseti calmed down and asked, "With this book, can I learn Allspeak language?"
The store owner said: "Like all knowledge and skills, learning Allspeak language also requires talent and perseverance, and there is no such thing as an overnight success."
"Of course, there is only this book for learning Allspeak, at least Asgard has only this one. If you don't want to use this book, you can only find a teacher who is proficient in Allspeak."
Forseti was a little bit hurt: "One hundred runes... it's too expensive!"
The owner of the store was calm: "This store is innocent. You can go to other bookstores to see, in the name of Cul, if other bookstores sell cheaper than here, I will pay you as much as it is cheaper."
Forseti was entangled for a while, and after thinking about it, he was still resolute: "Okay, I'll buy it!"
The shop owner said with a smile: "Young man, you made the right choice! There is no prominent person in the universe who can't speak Allspeak language."
Forseti forced a smile and took out a hundred runes with trembling hands.
Still poor...
After paying the bill, Forseti returned home with the books, put the newly bought books on the bookshelf one by one, and then took out the "Allspeak" to read.
The first tenth of this book was nothing special. It was written in Asgardian and introduced the origin, characteristics, introduction, etc. of the Allspeak language. It looked easy to understand.
The content of the latter 90% was much more complicated. It not only talked about the summary language, but also involved a lot of various languages in the universe, and even mentioned languages such as Groot, which were very complicated and gave him a headache.
However, there was a very magical aspect to this book. Most of the words and symbols recorded in it, Forseti had never seen, but you could know the pronunciation just by looking at them.
There was a strange fusion of sight and hearing in this book, which seemed to arrive at some profound nature of language. Probably this was what the bookstore owner called "the book of sound and text."
Even with such miraculous characteristics, Allspeak language was still not so easy to learn. Forseti estimated that if he learned it by himself, it would take at least ten years to master Allspeak language.
After reading "Summary" for a while, Forseti put it aside and turned to his own medicine garden.
The medicine garden was quite large, about 200 square meters, and was surrounded by densely arranged stout wood fences.
In the past few days, he had turned over the land of the medicine garden, and the soil at this time was very soft.
Forseti touched his waist and took out a small bag of seeds from the Sanctuary space.
This small bag of seeds was the medicinal seed of green chip grass, and he had finally bought it.
As long as he had enough green chip grass, he could make a steady stream of hair restorers, eliminate hair loss, and make a fortune.
At that time, he might have to consider exporting if there weren't enough bald people in Asgard...
Planting medicinal herbs was a technical job, especially since green chip grass was unpopular and somewhat delicate. Forseti planted while taking a book for reference.
After two days of work, one-tenth of the land in the medicine garden was planted with green chip grass.
