Chapter 105: Night Shadow
Instant potatoes are the same as the previous quick Eminem, they have a strange taste after over-growth, a taste that is not unpalatable, but definitely not delicious. Tang Dou tried a boiled potato, and finally tasted chalk - don't be surprised, this thing really ate chalk when he died when he was a child.
Originally, Tang Dou was still disappointed, but then he was happy again. Because the ingenious half-elf girl has discovered a secret recipe, after a certain amount of processing, at least restore the flavor of the potatoes themselves, although there will be a certain loss, but it is already good.
Tang Dou immediately decided to divide the potatoes into two batches, and the original ones were sold directly to the poor, who would not mind eating the potatoes with a bad taste, as long as they were not poisonous and could eat their stomachs. This also ensures maximum yield, as about a third is lost after treatment.
And the kind of processed product Tang Dou is ready to sell semi-finished products directly, specifically for all parties who have a good relationship with him, and it is also one of the baits he uses to "fish".
The big man was completely impressed by Lin Xiao's skills as a top restaurant chef, and at the same time he was also impressed by Tang Dou, who could make a whole table of more than 20 dishes with only the same ingredients as potatoes and a few ingredients and seasonings, and if he didn't know the details, he wouldn't even be able to eat the main ingredients of this table of dishes.
Tang Dou felt that this technique had broken through common sense and entered the realm of fantasy.
Only a small number of people in the workshop who were directly involved in planting and harvesting knew that these potatoes were planted and harvested in the magical rune array for a few days, and the others did not know, but it did not hinder their gratitude and worship for Tang Dou. At a time when other forces have begun to restrict food, they, who look down on other forces, can let go of their bellies to eat, and the gratitude and pride are indescribable.
But the three daughters of Manda and the dozens of people involved in it have different feelings. Their personal participation also witnessed the "miracle created by the great Lord Nicholas", for Tang Dou, they are not only grateful and worshipped, but directly upgraded to faith.
Coupled with Manda, the "Pope" who believed in Tang Dou as a god from the beginning, now this little splash has basically become a believer in Tang Dou - still a fanatical believer.
After the small banquet, Tang Dou found Manda, arranged a new task, and explained the request that it must be kept secret. Manda is a smart woman, and she is a woman who understands the situation, she knows very well that once the current workshop exposes the existence of the "Wasteland Rune Array", it will definitely be divided up by the major forces, even if Tang Dou is there, it is impossible to stop it by himself.
So she cautiously accepted the task and immediately set about arranging.
Tang Dou found that Manda was really quite talented in this area, as long as she was given time to get used to it slowly, she could even do better than herself in the future, so he let Manda do it.
In fact, Manda didn't understand one thing, Tang Dou didn't have to open the desert talisman to keep it secret, if it was really leaked, he would directly transfer this rune array to Qianjimen, Quicksand Gate and Fengxian Gate, and it would not be him who had a headache at that time.
And in fact, he had already decided that after establishing the early advantage, he would hand over the Rune Array to several major friendship gangs. It's unrealistic to want to hold this kind of thing in your hands all the time.
Anyway, the rune array is only useful under this special condition, and there is nothing too confidential in itself, Tang Dou is already studying how to carry out modular production, and when the time comes, the modular rune array will be handed over.
Moreover, the biggest trouble of the Rune Array is the energy consumption, Tang Dou has a good quality red sun stone, a source of life, and a well of spiritual energy, which other gangs do not have. So the advantage was still with him, and he wasn't afraid of the rune array being exposed at all.
Of course, the later he is exposed, the greater his advantage.
As night fell, the atmosphere that was slowly starting to rise in Kenunu City would not change with a gathering in the small workshop outside the city, but the workshop had now become the hottest topic in the entire city of Kenunu except for Martha's Storm, and there would always be people to pay attention to and talk about it.
When Poleoza returned to the quicksand gate, Minami was waiting for him at the door.
"Father, are you waiting for me?" When Poleoza saw Minnan, he immediately trotted over quickly, and then crouched down, allowing his gaze to be parallel to Mingnan.
Myokan wasn't really short, at least not by human standards, but he was still too far from being in front of Poleroza, and since the big man had grown to be taller than Myokan a few years ago, the former had maintained this squatting and talking posture - just as the former had been squatting and talking to him when he was a child.
"Tell me about today's events with Lord Nicholas, I heard that you waited at Lemen-Dousa for more than an hour, and then came out without saying anything?" The purpose of sending Polerosa to Tang Dou also has a layer of surveillance, but now the relationship between Tang Dou and Liushamen is in the "honeymoon" period, so this kind of surveillance is obvious.
"That's it, that damn Liemen Dusa, is so rude to Big Brother Nicholas, if it weren't for your father, and Big Brother Nicholas pulling me, I'd slap ......" The big man excitedly talked about everything that happened today, but there was nothing to say in Liemen Dusa, except for more than an hour of waiting, nothing substantial happened at all.
Ming Nan didn't expect the big man to say anything, but when he heard the latter relay the meaningful words that Tang Dou said to Liemen Dusa, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"What the hell is he trying to do?"
Poleoza didn't notice that his father-in-law's expression was abnormal, but pulled the topic to the banquet afterward, talking about the all-potato banquet, talking about Lin Xiao's craftsmanship, and while talking, his mouth watered, and then took out the two bags of potatoes that Tang Dou had wrapped for him before he left.
"By the way, father, this is what Big Brother Nicholas asked me to bring to my father. It is said that this small package is used to deal with trouble, and this large package is used to cause trouble! The big man scratched his head in confusion: "What the hell does this mean?" Big Brother Nicholas is good at everything, just like you, father, and often says things I don't understand! ”
Ming Nan was stunned, and opened two paper bags, both of which were potatoes, one was boiled potatoes in plain water, and the other was a delicacy with both color and flavor.
Don't think much about it, Ming Nan picked up the boiled potatoes first and tasted them, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch, he didn't have to suffer before, but such an unpalatable potato was indeed the first time he had eaten it. Then he ate the dish made from the potatoes, and by his own perception he could be sure that the two things were made from the same ingredient, but the taste was very different.
"Trouble? Troublesome! Ming Nan muttered to himself, figuring out what Tang Dou meant.
After a long time, he looked at Poleoza again: "Where did Lord Nicholas buy these facts?" I remember that he didn't have that in the grain he bought before! ”
Poleoza blinked, and the difficult question was a little inexplicable to him: "Digging out of the ground, I saw that Master Nicholas's men were dealing with the muddy ground. I guess it was just dug out of the ground! ”
Ming Nan thought about it, and suddenly his pupils shrank: "Could it be that you say?" ”
Seeing that Ming Nan fell into deep thought again, Poleoza took out another bag of baked potatoes from his bag, and just said that he was hungry for what he had just told Ming Nan to eat, he held a large paper bag in both hands and rolled it up with his nose to eat - the elephant people also have the habit of being half-demons of the elephant tribe, and they have a soft spot for the various ways of using their noses.
Ming Nan thought about this for half an hour, and finally patted his forehead, he didn't dare to draw a specific conclusion, so he could only put things aside, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Poleoza was already sleeping in front of him. This big man is proportionally speaking, that is, what a human being looks like at ten years old, and he is still a child.
Looking at the face that was stained with the oil from the baked potatoes, Ming Nan shook his head: "This kid! As he spoke, he took out a towel and wiped Poleroza's face.
Meanwhile.
The headquarters of the Thousand Machine Gate, which is close to the Demon Clan's controlled area - or should it be said, the headquarters of the Thousand Machine Gate, is the dividing line between the human control area and the demon controlled area.
Several black shadows slowly approached the headquarters of the Thousand Machine Gate, under the high walls of the manor like a fortress in the city, in the darkness, the black shadows moved forward little by little, slowly and carefully not attracting the attention of any Thousand Machine Gate patrol officers.
These black shadows approached the headquarters of Qianjimen very smoothly, and then went all the way forward, approaching one of the most important facilities of Qianjimen, outside the small courtyard where Xuanjizi was located.
These black shadows didn't seem to have come to assassinate them, and after wandering outside the small courtyard of Xuanjizi for a while, they didn't know what they had left, and then they began to find out the headquarters of the Thousand Machine Gate the same way.
No one knew what these shadows were trying to do.
Of course, those black shadows didn't know that after they left the Thousand Machine Gate headquarters, a person quietly followed behind, and followed these black shadows to the workshop outside the city.
There were still two miles away from the workshop, and the faint light of the towers in the workshop could be seen from a distance, and the man behind the black shadow suddenly paused and exclaimed, "Oops! ”
Almost at the same time as his inaudible whisper sounded, the first few dark shadows fell down like unplugged robots.
Even the person who followed behind these black shadows didn't see any process, and these black shadows fell down so suddenly, silently!
The man behind him shook his head slightly, slowly raised his hands, and raised his voice slightly: "You don't plan to kill me, do you?" ”
If Tang Dou was here, he would definitely be able to hear this person's voice.
The master of the Thousand Machine Gate, Xuanjizi.
Not only did he spot the dark shadows sneaking in early, but he also pretended not to know anything, just to follow these guys to see what they wanted to do.
I didn't know that these guys had killed themselves and came to the workshop.
This workshop is not just Tang Dou's killer. There's a horrible guy here.
Xuanjizi sighed helplessly, he didn't know why this person defended Tang Dou so much - although for some reason, he also defended Tang Dou, but when he met the one in front of him, he also had a headache.
In the face of Xuan Jizi's words, there was no response in the darkness.
"I just came with these guys, you should know that I don't have any ill will towards Tang Dou! Besides, if you want to be my opponent, you will definitely alarm Tang Dou! Although I don't know why you are keeping it a secret like this, I think you shouldn't want Tang Dou to know these things now, right? Xuanjizi spoke very slowly and softly, as if she could not communicate with the people in the darkness without this.
Slowly, in front of Xuanjizi, in the brighter place between the two dark piles of earth and stones, a mass of ink-like things slowly surged from the ground, and then slowly formed a human figure.
A rather petite person, even with Xuanjizi's eyesight, could not see the person's appearance clearly, and could only see the pair of faint golden eyes like a cat in the dark.
Xuanjizi breathed a sigh of relief, he was actually not worried that the person in front of him would kill him, whether it was his identity or strength, he was not worried about this, but the problem was that the person in front of him was not very easy to communicate, except for someone who could order, most of the time others were ignored by the person in front of him.
"I was going to follow these guys and see what they were up to." Seeing that the other party was revealed, Xuanjizi also knew that she didn't have to worry about the other party's move, so she put down her hands, looked at those unlucky guys and sighed.
The head of the strongest gang in the dignified human control area personally followed a few sneaky people in the middle of the night, but the result was such a result, which was really depressing.
The shadow-like man didn't speak, just stared at Xuanjizi with faint golden cat eyes.
"I really didn't know they would come here, if I knew, how could I have them come and kill you? They tossed around outside my house for a while. I haven't dug up those listening runes yet! "If outsiders see Xuanjizi's face and explain it in a hurry, they will be very surprised.
Xuanjizi, who is always like a gentleman and a gentleman, has always been known as the strongest person in the human control area, but now she is at a loss, explaining her actions to a shadow-like guy.
The person in front of him still didn't speak, and Xuanjizi really smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay." These people are ostensibly from the Beast King Sect, but they have an unclear relationship with the demon clan. If you want, just remind Tang Dou, the demon clan is starting to act! ”
As soon as these words came out, it seemed that the other party was finally satisfied, and the shadow-like person scattered in an uproar, splashing on the ground like ink, and then silent.
Xuanjizi was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a smile, stepped forward to grab the corpses of those unlucky eggs, and quickly galloped into the distance: "What is this called, I still have to help collect the corpses, I knew that I wouldn't come by myself, let those little cubs under my command come!" ”
In the workshop.
In Tang Dou's room, Tang Dou, who was supposed to be resting, was rubbing a rune stone in his hand, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.) )
