Chapter 7 Great Magician Chu Wameng

The villainous magician Chu Wameng is in a bad mood at the moment, squatting in the kitchen of the magic house to peel potatoes. This person is indeed a great magician who is proficient in magic. He can easily turn people into various animals, and he can also turn clay into gold.But it was very troublesome for him to peel potatoes with magic, and he couldn't peel them well.And he was tired of eating macaroni and flour every day, so he had no choice but to put on an apron, and took the trouble to peel the potatoes himself. "There is no servant, so I have to do it myself." The great magician Chu Wa said with a sharp sigh.

How, then, did he have no servants? "Because I haven't found a servant I like." The great magician thought to himself. "The servant I like, if he is not a fool, I can only use it. If he is a fool, even if he is hired, I can rest assured in this magic house of mine, because he will not take my Learn spells secretly. For a magician, you must pay special attention to this commandment. You can’t say that I am too picky. Since I am afraid that others will learn my spells secretly, I have to go to the trouble and peel the potatoes myself. Ugh……" Chu Wa suddenly stopped, thinking about finding someone to peel potatoes.After a while, he continued to peel the potatoes.Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Wait a minute!" the great magician Chu Wameng shouted. "Come right away." He walked to the door and was about to reach out to push the heavy latch and open the door when he suddenly remembered that he was still wearing an apron around his chest.Oops, Chu Wameng, the majestic great magician, actually wears an apron!This shabby look, it doesn't look like it if people see it! The doorbell is ringing again. "Oh, I'm coming!" Chu Wa responded fiercely. He hastily took off his apron.But where to put the apron? ... "Hawksbooks!" The great magician Chu Wameng muttered something, and with a scrape of two fingers, the apron flew to the hook between the tableware and the shelf in the kitchen and hung it up.

The doorbell rang again for the third time. Chu Wa pushed up the latch and opened the door.I saw Huo Zhenbo standing outside the door with a cloth bag on his back. "Ah, so it's you!" the great magician shouted happily. "How are you doing lately? You came just in time, old friend, welcome, welcome to my place, are you coming in?" "I'm happy to come in." Huo Zhenbo said. Chu Wa led the robber into his study.To Huo Zhenbo, this was an honorable event.The great magician is only willing to let him into the study when he meets a really good friend.Ordinary friends, he only perfunctory a few words at the gate (of course, necessary meetings need to be scheduled with him).

In Chu Wameng's study room, there is a large bookcase full of thick books with hard covers.In addition, the desk, the window sill, and the floor were all piled up with thick books with hard covers.On the ceiling above the writing desk, there is a stuffed crocodile hanging.In the corner of the back wall stood the skeleton of a dead man, a gleaming candle held in its bony right hand. Chu Wameng sat down on the chair behind the desk, pointed to the opposite chair and said: "Oh, old boy, can you sit down too?" Huo Zhenbo nodded and sat down. "Would you like some snuff?" the great magician suggested.

"Okay!" Chu Wameng scratched his two fingers, stretched out his hand to the air, got a silver snuff box from somewhere, and handed it to Huo Zhenbo: "Please feel free to sniff!" Huo Zhenbo grabbed a pinch of snuff and stuffed it into his nose. Not long after, he sneezed loudly, shaking the stuffed crocodile hanging from the ceiling as if it was about to fall. "Hey, great, great. This thing is very powerful. My good friend, this is enough to be called snuff! It's three times stronger than pricking it with glass shards! Where did you get it?" "I made it myself," said the great magician. "I specially prepared it. It can be called a "nasal soothing agent". How about another one?"

Huo Zhenbo's eyes shone brightly, and a good idea immediately came to his mind.He took a pinch of snuff, sneezed, and then said: "Let's make a deal, shall we?" "Deal?" Chu Wa asked suddenly. "Yes." Huo Zhenbo said. "I want to talk to you about this snuff deal." Chu Wa frowned fiercely. "So, what will you give me?" he asked. "I don't know if you know, but the gold I have is as much as dung?" "No one told you about gold!" Huo Zhenbo said. "What I produced was the best thing. Oh, guess what!"

Chu Wa frowned fiercely, thinking about it.Huo Zhendu waited for a while, and then reminded him: "Let me remind you first, okay? You've been looking for it for a long time, but you haven't found it" "I've been looking for something that I haven't found for a long time?" The great magician listened attentively to him. "Could it be a new magic book?" "No, no, it's a servant!" "Oh?" The great magician couldn't help shouting. "Really? A servant? A fool, then?" "There is no boy Luo who is more stupefied than him." Huo Zhenbo said.

"So, where is the boy?" "It's in this cloth bag." Huo Zhenbo untied the rope of the cloth bag.The cloth bag slipped.Casper wearing a Zobel hat emerged from inside. Chu Wameng scratched his two fingers, and a pair of his glasses appeared.He raised his glasses over his nose and watched Casper carefully from head to toe.Casper tried to look like a fool. "Is this the stupid boy who is as dumb as he looks?" asked the great magician Chu Wameng. "At least he won't be smarter than his appearance." Huo Zhenbo replied. "That's all right." Chu Wameng said. "Excellent! What's the boy's name?"

"His name is Zobel." "That's it. Then, Zobel, I'll keep you. Can you peel potatoes?" "Yes, Mr. Namon!" Chuwa burst into flames suddenly. "You kid, why did you change my name?" the magician shouted angrily. "Let me tell you now, listen carefully. When you address me, it is not enough to call me "Mr." wrong!" "Yes, I understand. The great magician, Mr. Zhu Yimeng!" Casper acted extraordinarily innocent at the moment. "You bastard! What nonsense!" The great magician grabbed Casper by the back of his neck.Shake violently. "You kid, do you think I can endure being mocked by you? Tell me, tell me, do you want to become a monkey or an earthworm?"

Chu Wameng scratched two fingers, and a magic wand came in his hand.Just as he was about to strike, Huo Zhenbo hurriedly stopped him from casting magic on Casper.The robber poked Chu Wameng's arm, dissuading him: "Let me say, Chu Wameng. This kid didn't call your name wrong on purpose. He can't remember your name! Besides, he is a fool!" "Oh, so it is." Chu Wa couldn't help but giggled. "Huo Zhenbo, I'm so happy! I just fell in love with Zoebel. I'll take him to work here! Take him to the kitchen to peel potatoes. We'll talk about the price later. " "It's best to talk now!" Huo Zhenbo said. "Well! Then I'll give you half a bag of snuff, will you?" "Just half a bag of snuff?" Huo Zhenbo asked. "Look for yourself, no matter how much it costs for such a fat boy to be a servant, there are people rushing to use him! . "Okay then." Chu Wameng said, "I'll give you a bag, is that okay?" After the magician finished speaking, he extended his right hand to Huo Zhenbo. "Okay!" Huo Zhenbo said and finalized the deal with him. "From now on, Zobel is under your control, and you can do whatever you want him to do. He is yours now!"
