Clinton faces two difficult questions.

One is whether he believes Tang Dou's words or not, and the other is whether he can hold Tang Dou's codex.

If you believe Tang Dou's words, then you shouldn't take the Codex, but if you find out that you have been deceived by Tang Dou afterwards, it will be too late. If you don't believe Tang Dou's words, take the codex, and finally find out that what Tang Dou said is true, it is tantamount to offending Tang Dou.

Clinton has his own ambitions, but his ambitions need talent. Tang Dou is the talent he looks at, he wants to pull Tang Dou into his camp, so it took so much effort, if it is finally found that what Tang Dou said is true, but because he does not believe in the other party and there is a gap between the two sides, then Clinton's plan to win over Tang Dou is a complete failure.

Clinton is not stupid, he can see that a person like Tang Dou, as long as there is a gap in his heart, then it is impossible to completely repair it. What's more, Clinton himself does not represent Konstantin, in the face of a stronger and more favorable Konstantin, why did Tang Dou, who has a gap in his heart, choose him Clinton?

So Clinton was in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Tang Dou helped him make a choice: "Grow up, take it as you like, it's good to take it as a joke when you're bored." He shoved the Codex in front of Clinton.

This made Clinton no longer have to dwell on it, so he put it away, and then said with a smile: "Although it is a dead end, maybe you can get some rare inspiration from it." Summing up a new path in the midst of failure, such things have happened many times in history! ”

"That's the best, maybe I will also have a part of the credit for a new road in the future. It's a little exciting to think about. Otherwise, I'll be involved in new developments! Tang Dou turned into a hot-blooded young man, ready to do what he said.

Where did Clinton dare to let this guy into the research group? He still remembers what Tang Dou said just now. Master Lu is not an ordinary person, Tang Dou who can fool him, it obviously doesn't take much effort to fool others, if Tang Dou fools all the rune researchers under Clinton's command, who will Clinton cry to.

"This kind of boring little thing doesn't need to be bothered by Di Gongzi. If there is any new breakthrough, I will send someone to inform Di Gongzi! Clinton got his initial goal, so naturally he didn't want to stay with Tang Dou anymore. He felt that in just half an hour, most of his brain cells would die, and if he stayed longer, he would lose his life.

"Wood, Di Gongzi will be entertained by you. The New Year is coming soon, and if Di Gongzi has no other place to go, it is also a good choice to come to our Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the New Year together. By the way, I have already asked someone to prepare a new gift for Di Gongzi, and I ask Di Gongzi not to push it back! Clinton ran like a rabbit with its tail on it.

"Xiao Di, my brother knows that you don't like the environment here, so brother, I invite you to Feifeng Tower for a meal. By the way, I remember the fruit of Xiangru, and I immediately asked someone to bring it! Wood remembered Little Lori's fruit, and if he forgot it, Tang Dou would definitely make him pay a "miserable" price when he turned back.

In the evening, Feifeng Tower.

As the most luxurious restaurant in Yanjing, Feifeng Lou takes the luxury route, only the emperor's relatives and important figures of all major forces are eligible to enter, although the local tyrant Tang is rich, but his identity is not good, and he really has no chance to enter Feifeng Tower. This time it was really stained with the light of the Constantine Chamber of Commerce.

In the private room, not long after everyone sat down, they didn't know who laughed first, and then they all laughed like a contagion, and the more they laughed, the more they couldn't stop, and finally laughed so hard that they clutched their stomachs and cried out in pain.

"Xiao Di, my brother really admires you so much! Clinton has never been so angry, but he can't have a seizure, it seems that my brother is really going to learn from you! "Wood's admiration for Tang Dou is really like a surging river.

He is also a wise general in Constantine, and the strength of the ninth level of gold is nothing in a big chamber of commerce like Constantine, which is spread throughout the entire Nine Screams Continent, and the reason why he can sit in the decision-making level is because of his resourcefulness.

And Wood, who has always been wise, found that the original plan can still be expressed in this way, although it is definitely impossible to let him do Tang Dou, but it is not a mental development - he can't do it, can't he train a good subordinate?

None of the women spoke, but covered their mouths and smiled.

"Is what you just said to Clinton true?" Wood paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "That rune system, is it really a dead end?" ”

"Guess?" Tang Dou smiled mysteriously.

If Wood hadn't seen Tang Dou write the runes in the air with his own eyes, he might have really thought that Tang Dou's words to fool Clinton were true, but after watching Tang Dou's performance, he didn't think so, hesitated, and said, "Then the codex you gave Clinton is fake?" ”

"How could it be fake, that's true. I'm a man who claims to be honest and reliable. How could you lie, that thing was originally sorted out and given to Master Lu, but there was no chance! Tang Dou's face was awe-inspiring.

Everyone threw a white eye at this slut, he wants to be honest, is there a liar in this world?

"Then you're not afraid of what Clinton will come up with from it?" Wood didn't believe that Tang Dou was such a person who didn't leave a back hand, but he was curious, if Tang Dou gave Clinton the real codex, then what was the back hand?

"Hehe, Brother Wood, you said that if I give a high-level exercise to a person who has never cultivated and doesn't even know the basics, but doesn't tell him the most basic meridians, acupoints, and battle soul foundations, do you think he can cultivate the battle soul?" Tang Dou answered the question with a question.

Wood suddenly understood: "You don't have the core basics of the new system in your codex?" ”

"Yes, but only smart people can understand it!" Tang Dou said with a smile.

"Oh? How so? Wood asked, puzzled.

Tang Dou took out an ordinary brush, asked the shopkeeper to bring paper and ink, wrote a big Chinese character "stupid" on the character, and then showed it to Wood: "Brother Wood, what do you think this is?" ”

"It's supposed to be a word, but I don't recognize it!" After all, the characters of the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm are the same as Chinese characters, they are pictographs, so Wood can recognize them as words, but just like the modern people in Tang Dou's previous life who went to see the big seal in ancient times, it is definitely the words that know people, but people don't know words.

"Hey, hey! It's a stupid word for a! Tang Dou slapped the table and laughed.

Wood's expression suddenly became crying and laughing: "You are really, even my brother and I are teasing!" ”

"Neither nor not!" Tang Dou shook his head and said, "I didn't tease you, Brother Wood, but told you what happened!" ”

Wood smiled bitterly: "I understand, you have invented a completely new script, and this new system of yours is based on this kind of writing, if you don't know this set of words, you can't study that new system at all, right?" ”

"Ah, that's probably it!" Tang Dou replied speciously.

His expression and tone once again aroused Wood's suspicions, and after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood, now that Konstantin has not yet made a final statement, with Tang Dou's character, of course, he will not say everything.

Thinking about this, Wood didn't ask more, but began to talk about other irrelevant topics, the reason why he can maintain a good relationship with Tang Dou is that he knows when to ask something, and when to play stupid.

Tang Dou has a lot of secrets, this Wood knows very well, he has also tried and inquired about Tang Dou's secrets many times, but every time he clicks to the end, as long as Tang Dou shows a little bit of reluctance to reveal, he will immediately stop and stop asking.

And it is precisely because of his attitude that he can maintain a good cooperative relationship with Tang Dou.

To put it bluntly, these two people are human spirits, and they are both the kind of interest animals that have bad stomachs and gurgles, but it is often people like them who can deal with each other peacefully, because they know what the other party's bottom line is and what they should do.

Putting aside interests for the time being, Wood is definitely a talkative person under small talk, and he is very good at observing words and feelings, and anyone can take care of it when chatting, whether it is Xiangru, a snack goods, or Chihuo, who shakes M's best arrogance, or Sha Yunyue, who is as light as clear water, and even Elena who is a little restrained, can take good care of it and will not snub anyone.

As for the relationship between him and Tang Dou, it was definitely as wonderful as Mars hitting the earth. The two sat together and started a chat mode, which was really up to astronomy, down to geography, talking about history and humanities in the first place, and talking about the ideal of law in the back. Saying that the text can be written with poetry and songs, and the chat can be clicked to the end, the two of you say a word to me, which makes the girls an eye-opener.

Even Chihuo, who has always disliked strangers, has to admit that when Wood is there, she will subconsciously not treat Wood as an outsider - of course, this is just for chatting. But even if it were, it was a rare achievement. You must know that there is a dark history, and under the influence of Tang Dou, a conspiracy theorist, Chihuo is extremely wary of strangers.

After eating a meal for two hours, as soon as you enter the east hanging branches on the moon, this can be regarded as full of wine and food.

Wood calls the store to settle the score, only to get an unexpected message.

"The two masters and the girls have already paid for their meals!" The shopkeeper personally came to explain, smiling and respectful.

Tang Dou and Wood glanced at each other, and the first thing that came to mind was Clinton, but they quickly denied it, if it was Clinton, they should say hello first. And now Clinton should be very annoyed to see Tang Dou. So who was so kind as to pay for a lavish banquet worth two amethyst coins?

"Who gave it?" Wood asked.

The shopkeeper smiled and didn't speak, obviously not wanting to explain.

Tang Dou's eyes rolled, and the bad water in his stomach boiled again. (To be continued.) )
