Slow 49.10-A chapter: numbers and wonders

When the Stone Golem's heavy hand lifts the cup, you and Master Heraran show the note you wrote at the same time. Guess the numbers, completely different.

He wrote 3, 5, 5, 8.

You write 1, 4, 6, 9.

The three dice are 2, 3, and 4.

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone present fell into silence for a long time. I don't know who whispered, "Who does that mean wins?" Somewhere quietly replied, "It means that no one wins." "If you are strictly in order, you and he both guessed the wrong number of dice, and if you hit one correctly, you and he each guessed one correctly. Perhaps, the victory or defeat is all due to the mysterious extra numbers.

Why is there such an embarrassing situation, probably similar to two swords after the attack, both are broken. The final all-out divination, and the last all-out luck fighting each other are extremely disturbed.

Shaking the note in his hand, Master Heralan looked very nervous. The prediction of the outcome is related to his life and death. For a person who has devoted most of his life to the ethereal cause of divination, who gritted his teeth to survive the incomprehension, persuasion, and disappointment of his peers, family, and friends, and finally passed through a road full of thorns with blood to achieve fame and fortune, the four "inaccurate divination" are enough to make him lose everything. He had to win.

In other words, if the loss is too ugly, it is better to decide on your own.

He suddenly waved his big hand and sent all the dice far away: "At this point, the dice are no longer enough to prove that I am an absolutely accurate soothsayer......!

"This first number!"3"! I guess how many trolls your guild's adventurer team "Long Attack on the Morning Sky" and "Spirit Stone Long Ladder" killed in the mission!"

He is grinning at you intently. There was panic hidden in his confident smile, and he couldn't afford to lose. "What do you guess?"

As it happens, your first number "1" is also a guess of the two squads.

As he spoke, the two squads rushed from far and near. They had just returned from completing their mission, and before they entered the town, they came directly to Hathaway to report, and when they saw the battle, they thought they were going to fight, so they came to support with great momentum.

"Did the mission go well?"

"Yes, Miss Secretary, we have defeated three orc forces and killed three trolls in the nearby mountains and forests. Oh, it's really hard to kill, their vitality is so tenacious, they are real monsters. ”

All the two teams survived, but their tired expressions revealed the joy after the victory, and they were in good shape. Master Heraran breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he could no longer shout as much as before. Silently, he enjoyed this sweet first victory, but it was too early to reassure.

Obviously, no number is your "1".

"I won the first win. The second number, "5", I guess is ......" Master Heralan paused, looking in the direction of the town, "the number of dead and wounded of Master Otaku's men. Whether he resists or not is secondary, but he buries his head in research and will not respond until he learns that law enforcement has come to smash the door, and of course the guards will resist. Ordinary mercenaries can beat the law enforcement team before they have ghosts, five people, that is, the number of dead and wounded. ”

Listen, the captain of the law enforcement team folds his arms and laughs beside you without saying a word.

The people around whispered and discussed, is there really an idiot who dares to refuse the law enforcement team to enter the door and search? Perhaps, there really is. Because the law enforcement team is directly under the jurisdiction of the king, in fact, it is driven by Elander, not only are the people selected are the second sons of the nobles, the third son is extremely strong, and the power and force are extremely strong, which can be described as the elite of the elite, and almost every time he performs a task, he will encounter very complicated things, resulting in the experience and quality of the whole team are extremely high, and the important thing is that the civilians have no intersection with the law enforcement team. Otaku mages are just a civilian, I'm afraid I would never have dreamed that there would still be law enforcement teams to kick the door under your protection...... Take 10,000 steps back, kick, and you should first kick the likes of Raumi and Melani.

. The personal guard of the otaku mage categorically did not believe it, and it was very likely to do it.

"Ah, finally caught. ”

The captain of the law enforcement team beckoned into the distance, signaling his subordinates not to rush to escort away the otaku mage first. Soon, the paladins with two swords and a five-flowered cloaked otaku mage and five personal guards squeezed into the crowd, squeezing to the closest you can be.

There are some things that don't need to be said.

It's the time to employ people. Catching Raumi, Melanie, and even Elizabeth will infuriate you greatly, and catching the periphery is just the right amount of a beating, and maybe digging into your other charges as a lever. How is it more appropriate to control the plebeian aristocracy who are capable but have led uprisings and have repeatedly been unruly? This is the management experience accumulated in feudal society for thousands of years.

The next one is the retired old bishop, who is charged as many as he wants. If you are disobedient.

What's your number "4"?

No.

There is no number "4" in the otaku mage at all, which makes the soothsayer's shoulders completely relaxed, and he is relieved. He fanned his cheek with the palm of his hand, though it wasn't hot at all near where Mistress Frost was stationed.

The spirit, the emotion, and the momentum came, and the soothsayer was radiant as if he were fighting back from the dead, his eyes were shining, and his chest was straightened. "It's not your fault. Luck is subtle and cannot be mastered. Divination is a science, a technique of the wise, that requires the integration of many other complex knowledge, such as intelligence gathering, logical reasoning, behavioral psychology, etc. It's not your fault. ”

"The third number, I guess is the number of Pickels or goblins captured by your guild's "improvised map". 5 pcs!"

Hathaway was stunned and blurted out: "Their mission is to drive, not ......" Halfway through the speech, Hathaway suddenly stopped dumbfounded, as if realizing that he was not absolutely sure of this new team at all, in fact, they had also caused trouble before, and did not carry out the mission accurately.

To despair, the "improvised map" also rushed to the scene. Even if you can't see their faces clearly from a distance, you can see five points of light that sway with your gait......

Sure enough, they did catch three leprechauns and two picos, a total of five. Hathaway was anxious: "Why do you want to arrest them!"

"No, we're defending ourselves. The bard looked aggrieved, "They flew so fast that they shot endlessly." Miss Secretary, don't worry, we didn't kill any of them. ”

No, it's not a question of killing or not killing, okay!

Hathaway lifted her forehead and confirmed solemnly, "Ask." If you go on a mission to a village where deer are local gods, you won't catch them if the deer overhead you. ”

"No!" replied the bard, in no uncertain terms.

"We'll roast them and eat them until they give in! Don't worry about our appetite!" added his warlock girlfriend.

The captain of the dwarves was very unhappy: "It's good to be unconscious, don't offend the villagers." ”

The halfling muttered that the skinning work could be left to him with confidence.

Hahaha's laughter came from the soothsayer alone, rising on the empty riverbank and disappearing into the sparkling water. Need to say anything else, he guessed all three numbers, only the last number remains, which actually doesn't mean much. In general, you may have won, but in the end he proved his strength perfectly, and it was enough. He salvaged his reputation and once again showed what 100% accuracy is in front of Kyle Jr. and a large audience, and what is a real technique that no luck can compete with.

The rest is much easier.

You've won two out of three games, and he's proven himself. Let's go home and have a good rest, and then think carefully about whether or not to work for Kyle Jr. Although he prefers to follow Kyle Jr., he first needs to go home first to regain all his lost reputation and regain it strongly. That belongs to the foundation of his world.

“...... Wait a minute. The captain of the "Long Strike Morning Sky" on the side raised his hand and said, "We're new here too, so we don't ...... I'll make sure. The guild doesn't allow captives?"

Hathaway waved her hand and explained that because Pico and Leprechaun were so special that they served as mascots, capturing them might cause the druids in the Elven Homeland to protest. "What do you mean? Did you capture a troll captive?" Hathaway wondered, could a large creature like a troll be so easy to capture?

"No, we've captured an orc warlord and handed it over to the guards at the town gate. ”

You silently tick the first number "1" on your note.

There was an uproar, especially the soothsayer, who was stunned.

It's not that the orc warlords are strong, and since they have defeated the enemy army, it is not impossible to capture the prisoners, but the point is that there are elves in the two squads of "Long Attack on the Morning Sky" and "Spirit Stone Long Ladder", and the total number of people has reached four. Elves never capture orcs.

Hathaway blinked and stared at the adventurer: "Why take prisoners?"

"We found some strange evidence in the walled city, very subtle. Although it was difficult, we still wanted to be able to pry open this guy's mouth and get some useful information. This is very important. The captain looked at many outsiders around him, suggesting that it was inconvenient to say more, and the inside situation was complicated.

The special circumstances and the presence of humans and halflings in the squad made it a miraculous result for the elves to capture the orcs.

"Why are they okay if they catch the orcs, but we have to be trained if we catch the bugs?" the bard rolled his eyes, "I managed to fool six treemen into coming to the territory." That's a free guard, a big violent maniac. ”

The bard asks for Hathaway's compliment.

Hathaway whispered a few words to the sorceress.

The sorceress suddenly went crazy and grabbed her boyfriend's hair, and the two fought in public, and their heads were bleeding, which was very ugly.

You silently tick the third number "6", causing a great shock to the onlookers.

In any case, the Treants are neutral, they live in the forest, and it is impossible for them to defend their territory for the Terrans, which is a rare miracle. But in fact, this incident is not unprecedented at all, because the bard has a corolla on his head that can control the spirit creatures, so he can capture the normal invisible ghost of Pikjin, and also have the opportunity to fool the treemen, although it is impossible to know what was said at that time. After all, negotiation is an old bard.

The soothsayer is secretly relieved to find that you didn't flip the tables on the second number.

The otaku mage lowered his head, gagged by rags, and looked at you weakly from time to time. His eyes seemed to say, it doesn't matter if I'm taken away, I won't say anything, I will definitely persevere, but no matter how long you have to, you have to find a way to get me out. He also saw that if the situation was favorable now, he would never let the law enforcement team arrest him, and it was obvious that the situation was out of control now.

Actually, the otaku mage was not wrong. At this point, you have to let the law enforcement team arrest the person first, and then find a way to get them out as quickly as possible. The purpose of the law enforcement team is not to be on a small person like a mage, but to give you a horse. If you arrest them, the goal will be achieved, and it will be difficult for you to catch people, but the detention is not important at all. There's a good chance you'll be able to find a way to bail out the otaku mage, and if it goes well, you'll have to owe a favor to one of the Big Five. Isn't it all the effects of slaps and sweet dates?

Four wagons came from afar,

Down the four stewards,

Call the captain of the law enforcement team into the distance and whisper. Then, the captain of the law enforcement team walked back by himself with a black face. Extremely unpleasantly waved his hand to his subordinates.

The subordinates were stunned. What does this gesture mean?

With a sigh, the captain walked towards the otaku mage in a huff and began to untie the ropes. "Huh, sir, what are you doing!?" a certain uninteresting paladin immediately stopped the chief, but received a backhand slap. Seeing that, the captain untied the otaku mage and the five wounded guards.

Fuck off—— this is the first time that the captain of the law enforcement team has shown that he is no longer so calm, and he roared at the otaku mage, and then watched the four teams of carriages return the same way and leave. There were no family crests on the carriages, but they were definitely luxury carriages of the nobility, and the accompanying cavalry were also equipped with magic equipment.

The soothsayer pointed to the law enforcement team that turned away without saying a word, and looked at you. You shake your head.

The soothsayer pointed into the distance and looked at Hathaway, who shook his head.

He looked at Kyle Jr. and the Otaku Mage again. None of the people present knew what was going on with the four wagons.

All three of your numbers have fulfilled your predictions, and suddenly the outcome falls on the fourth number that didn't matter. "What's going on, what's going on, what's the meaning" – the soothsayer's expression speaks.

"The last number, '8'! I predict! Your new train will have eight carriages! Say what your '9' means!"

Carriage......

...... There are several sections.

Yesterday you could directly see the semi-finished products that are being rushed, does this kind of thing really need divination and prediction? Why not say that the forecaster has two legs?

The soothsayer appears to be confident. As it turned out later, he really didn't go to investigate in advance, but predicted with all his might, but the problem is, a few carriages really don't make sense. You tell the adventurers to escort the otaku mage back to town. Whatever the hell it is, he is out of prison, and now he needs to suppress the shock, and the guards need to heal and rest.

Speaking of which, today is indeed the moment of the first test run of a steam train. You, as the lord, and Kyle Jr. as the funder, you two should indeed stop by to watch the ceremony.

Gradually, no one cared about what the soothsayer was talking about, except for Kyle Jr., who was smiling and persuading the other party to be hired, while the soothsayer was not listening at all, trying to confirm the numbers that most people had already confirmed. Of course, there are indeed eight carriages. Truly.

His number is "8" and yours is "9".

The soothsayer finally regained his smile: "I think it's a close duel. In a sense, you're right, too, if you count the locomotive, well, it's 9, that's right. ”

He was secretly smug. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose anymore, the soothsayer has no crazy thoughts of revenge, no longer poses a threat to you, and is relieved to accept little Kyle's recruitment. This is the end of the matter, smoothly. It's a tie, although your numbers are all miracles.

The focus of the people shifted from the "Golden Crown" to the test run of the train. For the first time in this world, such a strangely shaped long vehicle has appeared, and it is extremely new. With so much iron, so much manpower and material resources, is it really worth it? Is it really useful...... And it hangs under the railroad tracks, half a man above the ground.

The children are the most lively.

When the train was slowly moving forward with billowing smoke, I don't know where a good deed came out, riding a horse, competing with the speed of the steam train.

The train was thrown far away by the horses, a full distance of a full body of eight carriages. The speed is very slow because it is too heavy. Looking at the funny big guy, countless people laughed and felt extremely happy. The soothsayer was also very happy.

Belittleing others makes people happy. The first reaction to new things is always resistance.

The surroundings are bustling. In the midst of the ridicule, the soothsayer suddenly turned to little Kyle next to him and said, "You really need a talent like me to accurately grasp the investment direction for you." The big iron guy created by this heretical technology is completely waste. In the future, you should humbly follow my advice, which is also the reason why you hired me with a high salary. ”

"Well, yes, you're right, Master. Little Kyle was listening to his subordinates whispering something and then hurriedly responded to the soothsayer. It seems that this action to attract talents has finally been implemented.

As for what is reported,

Because of the noise around, the subordinates were slightly louder. It's not a secret matter anyway, it's just that the soothsayer next to you can hear it.

The report reads: "Boss, the trial run went very well. A total of nine towns and cities had a strong response to market representatives who secretly observed the trains and immediately placed orders for rails, trains or long-term cargo cooperation agreements. 」

The soothsayer's smile froze.

He suspected he had misheard.

Afterwards you heard that Kyle Jr. had invited many of the town's market leaders to watch the steam train run in advance, many. Although some markets also laughed at the slow appearance of the train, more market representatives reacted quickly and immediately realized that this was a major business opportunity and placed orders quickly. It doesn't matter if it's slow, it's the volume of cargo that matters, which is one of the reasons why coastal cities are more prosperous than inland cities.

Walking can only carry one cargo, rafts can carry ten cargo, horse-drawn carriages can carry ten cargo, large ships can carry hundreds, the difference between water and land transport directly determines the prosperity gap of the town, and the train transport volume far exceeds the horse-drawn carriage. And this ......

Ahem...... This kind of suspended railroad track can be more suitable than horse-drawn carriages to climb mountains and mountains, and can avoid attacks better, which is very mysterious.

You look back at the soothsayer, losing the last shred of interest in him. He doesn't have the heart to do anything to you anymore, it's a duel that's 100% right but still lost. There is a difference in the gold content of the numbers.

It's afternoon, and it doesn't seem like any more adventurers will be coming back.

Tomorrow, which team are you going to send out behind enemy lines to destroy the Saudis' air force - the Wyverns?

A, Golden Crown

B, the water moon is fixed, and it must be supported.

C, the other squads went to die.
