The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 1 Trimming donkey hoofs

Harvest Moon.

Meister County, Goldshire, Habsburg Manor Castle Field.

A thin, black-haired boy was sitting in a corner of the fort, covering the big bag on his head with one hand while staring blankly at the empty field in front of him and the towering castle in the distance.

"Hiss! Where is this?" Ren looked around while enduring the severe pain in his head.

I saw a group of teenage boys in coarse cloth coats standing in a semicircle on the field, watching a tall and strong adult man trimming the hoofs of a black donkey.

"Are you trying to repair a donkey's hooves???"

Ren was stunned!
  Immediately afterwards, a large stream of memories poured into his mind, like a slideshow, with pictures flowing through his mind!

"My name is Renn now. I was accidentally kicked in the head by a donkey an hour ago. The bulge on my forehead has not subsided yet."

“The adult who trimmed the donkey’s hooves was the Habsburg estate blacksmith.”

"."

Suddenly, Ren, who was still stunned, heard the donkey hoof trimmer yelling loudly.

"You little bastards, haven't you eaten? You can't even press a donkey's hoof!"

"Hurry up, hold it down!"

Two of the boy servants were sweating profusely and pressing the donkey's hooves, but they were too young and were dangling from the strong donkey's hooves.

Ren shook his head when he saw it. These two servants were just like his own body. They were thin dogs, so naturally they couldn't hold them down!

Judging from the memory in his mind, he originally joined the boy servant training organized by the Habsburg manor the day before yesterday. This was achieved with great difficulty by squeezing out most of the savings from his family and unclogging the relationship with the head servant of the manor. quota.

There is a practice in this world. The nobles who own the territory generally select a small number of people as official servants through the training and assessment of servants and train them from an early age.

Generally speaking, the positions of formal male servants are divided into grooms, guards, cooks, bakers, butchers, brewers, blacksmiths, dog trainers, falconers, etc.

Three months later, the manor will organize an assessment to recruit five outstanding child servants to become official servants, including two blacksmith apprentices, two guards, and one dog trainer.

Therefore, the content of this batch of male child servant training is designed around these three positions.

"Alternate version of the test?!"

An idea suddenly popped into Ren's mind.

"It's just time travel, but the purpose of working hard is to be a servant. What the hell is that?!"

"What the hell!"

At this time, there was a burst of chatter, which made Ren, who had been kicked by a donkey in the head, even more headache.

Fighting back his headache, Ren looked sideways and saw several tall servants wearing clean linen coats, not far from him, pointing at him while laughing again.

"It was so funny to be kicked by a donkey!"

Seeing these people, relevant memories of the original person slowly emerged in Renn's mind.

These "high-ranking" child servants turned out to be the children of various shop owners in the town, and could be regarded as the "rich second generation". These few people stayed together and often bullied other child servants.

Ren was no exception before. When he arrived, they set a rule and he was responsible for cleaning the dormitory every day! Originally, according to regulations, this job should be done by the servants in turns.

"This guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes is the youngest son of a small town tavern owner, nicknamed Big Eyebrow."

"The one with freckles is the son of a small town hotel owner, nicknamed Freckles."

"The one wearing brown linen shorts is the son of the tanner in the town. He's a pretty good guy and doesn't have a nickname."

"."

"Mad, it's so useless! Are you being bullied by several children?" Renn looked down at his numb body and couldn't help but shake his head.

After the other party laughed at Renn, they started chatting. Renn just needed to understand the world. He lowered his head and pretended not to care, but in fact he pricked up his ears and listened attentively!

"Have you heard? The small town of Albero, not far from our Goldshire, was attacked by wandering ogres last night, killing and injuring many people." The freckled-faced boy said softly.

The freckled-faced man's family owns a hotel, and he is the only well-informed person among the rich second generation. "It's true or not, why is this kind of news happening lately! Two days ago, I heard from people in the caravan that there seemed to be a cultist sacrifice incident in the town of Monem, and many people died." The boy with thick eyebrows said with a frightened look on his face.

Nongmei's family owns a tavern and is another well-informed person.

"Hey! It would be great if I had the chance to go to the county town. It would be much safer to live in the county town!" The son of the tanner's family sighed and said.

"It can't be that easy! Unless you can pass the selection this time and become an official guard, and then be valued by the superiors and be transferred to the master's family in the county, it will be too difficult." The freckled face shook his head.

"Yes, but no matter what, becoming an official guard through the manor selection is the first step." Nong Mei waved his strong arm with confidence.

"."

After hearing the above, Ren couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Ogre?"

"Cult?"

"Do you think this is an extraordinary world?"

Renn couldn't help but feel a little excited, worried and longing!
  I just don’t know what kind of extraordinary world this is?
  There is very little relevant memory information in my mind!
  Because the original person had never left the confines of this town before, he had never encountered any monsters or mysterious beings.

but
  Troubadours and mercenaries from far away often bring all kinds of weird news, including monsters that frequently appear in the night, huge sea monsters in the ocean, haunted houses in busy cities, plagues with extremely high fatality rates, etc., etc. One thing is enough.

My previous self would have listened to it as a fairy tale.

Judging from the tone of the rich second generation, is it possible that these are true?
  Ren rubbed his chin and thought for a while.

"Next group, Lane, George!" Barr shouted.

Upon hearing his name, Ren immediately stood up and together with a boy with short blond hair, began to laboriously press the donkey's hooves.

At this time, blacksmith Barr stepped forward and saw him easily picking up a large shovel and starting to trim the donkey's hoofs that had become too long.

However, there seemed to be some inflammation in the center of the donkey's hoof, and a faint trace of pus and blood oozed out during the trimming process.

"咴咴!"

The strong black donkey suddenly felt pain during trimming, howled immediately, and its whole body began to shake violently and struggled.

Renn immediately tried his best to fix the black donkey's hoof and prevent it from moving, so as not to affect Barr's trimming.

In less than two minutes, Ren's forehead was already covered with sweat, and locks of black hair began to stick to his forehead. His physical strength was almost exhausted.

"Fortunately, this is the last hoof the donkey has."

"After taking care of this black donkey, the next group of servants will be rotated into the battle, so that I can rest for a while and relax."

"You see clearly, when trimming the donkey's hoof, you have to be bold and careful, and your wrists should be loose." Barr explained while giving a demonstration.

When the last donkey's hoof was trimmed, Lane and George collapsed to the ground like deflated rubber balls.

The languid look of the two people immediately aroused laughter from the "rich second generation" people on the side!
  In response to this ridicule, George immediately blushed, but Renn ignored it and was suddenly stunned.

Because, a transparent frame suddenly appeared on his retina, and it automatically turned to the second page.

I saw several lines of small words and a bunch of icons written on the second page.
