Chapter 128: Dig a hole
Spike finally relents.
He had to coax.
There are not many soul cultivators in this world who are completely obsessed with cultivation like Crowley. Like Tang Dou, he is hanging, and he is not afraid of hanging B without a back road, and there is only one such one.
Spike is Duvese's royal family and Kenneth's own uncle. The Duvese country is the brainchild of their Duvese family, and he absolutely cannot accept Duvese as the next sand tooth country.
So the establishment of the final "crowdfunding" is inevitable.
All the crystal-level powerhouses have similar ideas, and they may get all of them further, but they may also be doomed. Take a step back and get less, but take it steadily, and there is no risk, at most a little face.
A country cannot have no face, but a strong person, if necessary, can also lose face.
Besides, this kind of face-losing thing is to lay out in their high-level circles. If you don't throw people to the point where all Arsa knows, what is there to worry about?
The rest of the time is just waiting.
Tang Dou's three-day slaughter order is not a joke, if you don't seal the knife within three days, then the entire Oasis of the Sand Tooth Country is destined to be washed in blood.
And the flag that the Sandtooth themselves have set over the past millennia is finally working, and they are so capable of death that they can offend all the forces and races they can offend. When they were strong, naturally no one could say anything to them, and now that they are weak, no one will jump out and say that they should be forgiving and forgiving, everyone has the same idea.
Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.
According to the agreement, the Gusi country owns all the slaves of the Sand Tooth country, of course, these slaves refer to non-war slaves, although theoretically war slaves will die with their slave owners, but there will always be some exceptions, such as those who have just changed their masters and have not had time to contract.
For example, the slave owner is a soft egg, and after being caught, he handed over the contract in order to survive, and then his head was cut off.
The Sand Tooth people aren't all crazy, there will always be some cowardly ones.
The war slaves will be divided by the other five countries themselves, and Tang Dou has no interest in the war slaves at all. His eyes were all focused on the slaves and slaves.
There are a lot of technical talents in the bitter slaves, and even if they are not, they are excellent manpower. Some of the slaves are the same as Elika, and if they are rescued, they will be new combat power, and even if they can't become strategic, it is self-evident what role women have for a new force.
Tang Dou will not use these slaves as fertility tools, but as long as they are given freedom and let them fall in love and give birth freely, the situation is the same.
In a world where there is no family planning, population growth is not a problem as long as there is enough food, as long as there is adequate medical coverage.
To paraphrase Tang Dou's previous life, there was a joke on the Internet - anyway, there is no other entertainment, so you can have children and play.
The development of the new workshop needs people, and only by raising the population base can it develop faster. And because of the cannibalistic habits of the Sandtooth people, their domestic slaves are only two or three generations at most, so their self is very complete and does not need to take one or two generations to recover.
And Tang Dou rescued them from fire and water, and took them to a place outside the world, these slaves will be loyal as long as they are in their normal minds - of course, there will be abnormal brains, but without Tang Dou's hands, other people with normal brains will directly beat these abnormal ones to death.
This is a herd nature. Especially for these slaves who have just escaped from the sea of suffering, anything that prevents them from being free will become enemies.
Crowley didn't care at all about Tang Dou's blatant fishing, and the slaves who were sent back by the "teleportation array" were directly one-third less, and it was the best one-third, as if Crowley hadn't seen it.
Crowley didn't speak, Crow was still helping to cover up, Ryan and Hallie were also silent, what else could the other families say? Everyone turned a blind eye.
Tang Dou also exceeded a bottom line, when he was in the Feixin Workshop, he also let the Gu Si Kingdom get a lot of benefits - the benefits of the Gu Si Kingdom are the benefits of the major families.
It's good for everyone, then no one says anything.
In the original open space, a so-called front-line command had been established. Tang Dou and other high-level officials are temporarily living here. The major families of the Sand Tooth Country are still stubbornly resisting in their own castles, and all the Sand Tooth people have gathered in the castles of the major families after finding that they cannot leave the oasis.
It will take some time to break through these castles, but it won't be too long, and the self-detonation puppet can only be said to have an average effect against soul cultivation, and it is quite good against buildings.
In Tang Dou's tent, he was looking at the account book that Zhou Fatpang had sorted out for him, which was the information of the slaves who had been taken in from the Sand Tooth Country in the past two days. Including the total number of people, the number of craftsmen, and so on. Flipping through the pages, Tang Dou suddenly saw a name that surprised him a little.
"Why does this Gulyod's name sound so familiar to me?" Tang Dou turned his head to look at Sha Yunyue.
The elf beauty sat next to Tang Dou at this time, accompanying Tang Dou like a virtuous little wife. Hearing Tang Dou's words, the elf beauty with a super good memory just recalled it and remembered: "I've also heard of this name, I heard that twenty years ago, the name of one of Blizzard's craftsman grandmasters was Guljod. He suddenly lost his way when he went to the Tianfeng Continent to do some private business, for which Blizzard also negotiated with the Elven Dynasty, but in the end there was no whereabouts, could this Gulyod be that Gulyod? ”
Tang Dou slapped his thigh: "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”
The two went directly back to the Source of Life space, found Zhou Fatpang, and asked him to invite Guljod.
Soon, a short and stout Moorish appeared in front of Tang Dou.
The Moorish people are a minority race in the Thousand Souls Realm, most of them live in the HRE Kingdom of the Nine Spirits Continent, they are not tall, and adults are basically no more than one meter five, they are naturally bold, hospitable, have clear grievances, have petrified skin, and are born with divine power.
And the most talked-about thing is that basically all Moors are craftsmen, and almost half of the great masters of craftsmen in history are Moors.
In Tang Dou's opinion, the Moors are no different from the dwarves he saw in his previous life, the only difference is that the Moors are not the kind of exaggerated appearance of women with long beards, in fact, the Moors are no different from the Euros in appearance except that they are no more than one meter five tall and the whole clan is a little short and strong.
As soon as the Moorish man named Gulyod appeared, Tang Dou and Sha Yunyue were even more sure of each other's identities, because the missing Blizzard Craftsman Grand Master was a Moor. If such a thing happens in front of your eyes with the same name and the same race, but different people, it is really embarrassing.
"You're the lord here?" Guljod, like all Moors, has a bold and direct character, he was taken to the Source of Life space in a bit of a daze, and when he was confused, Zhou Fatpang found him and asked him to see Tang Dou, he naturally had some guesses.
"Yes, I'm the lord here. You can call me Nicholas! Tang Dou nodded.
Gulyod glared: "What are you looking for me?" Same with those sandtooth people? ”
"I just wanted to ask, are you the Great Grandmaster of Blizzard?" Tang Dou asked.
Gulyod sneered: "Yes." Looks like you're really like those Sand Tooth people and want me to help you build things? Hmph, yes, as long as you give me the materials. We Moors love to build, it doesn't matter where we build it! ”
That's what he said, but the sarcasm in the other party's words can be heard by anyone whose IQ is higher than that of the table.
Tang Dou immediately knew what was going on with Gulyode. Let's not talk about how he was caught in the country of Sand Tooth, but the IQ of the Sand Tooth was on the line at least once when facing Guljod, and they didn't eat the Moor, but after finding out that the other party was a master of craftsmen, they locked the other party up and asked him to build equipment for the Sand Tooth.
Tang Dou can do the same.
But he is also good at building, and he knows very well what it means to work without effort.
The more high-level the building, the more you need to be wholehearted, and there is a world of difference between something that is created in a so-so way and something that is created wholeheartedly.
Tang Dou grinned: "Since you are from Blizzard, it's good." I have a good relationship with Blizzard, and their young boss Jia Ang is still my friend. Although I don't know when I can return to Jiuxiao, as long as I go back, I will definitely take you with me! ”
Gulyod was stunned for a moment, and then still sneered: "Really? Thank you so much! ”
"Then the master can go back!" Tang Dou nodded, turned his head and instructed Zhou Fatpang: "Fatty, arrange a good room for the master, everything will be according to the specifications of the VIP." There is no room for neglect. The master has to meet any of his requirements, and if you can't do it, you can come to me, understand? ”
Zhou Chupang saluted respectfully: "Yes, Lord Lord!" ”
Gulyod was really stunned this time.
Is the other party really not going to blackmail himself? Is the other party really going to send him back to Blizzard?
Just thinking about it, Lin Xiao ran in like a gust of wind.
"Master, look at what's going on?" The half-elf girl's personality was already a little confused, and she was in a hurry, but at this time, she was pretending to be in her heart, and she didn't see any outsiders on the side.
She held a flickering light in her hand, and her face was anxious.
"What's wrong? It's frizzy every day! Tang Dou was also quite speechless about his apprentice.
Lin Xiao didn't care so much, and said like a bean: "Master, what do you think of the flickering light?" Why did it suddenly glow? And I still have a rather strange feeling when I use it! ”
Tang Dou lowered his eyes and saw that the entire sword body was emitting blue light, his eyes rolled, and he smiled: "What else, I have evolved." What do you think I gave you a big change last time? I have carved a triple evolution rune array on it, and it is not up to me to decide what the flickering light will grow into in the future, but you. Do a good job and see if you can make it the new Top 10 Artifact! ”
Lin Xiao opened his mouth wide: "Really? ”
"You have to get rid of this doubt and affirm it, then it will be true!" Tang Dou said incomprehensibly.
"Hmph, arrogant, just with such a thing, you want to become one of the top ten artifacts?" Gulyod couldn't hold back his words.
The corners of Tang Dou's mouth curved into a mysterious smile for a moment.
What is the best way to get a great grandmaster to voluntarily fall into his own trap?
That is to "seduce" him academically.
Tang Dou originally wanted to use other methods, but Lin Xiao came at the right time.
Lin Xiao only noticed Gulyod at this time: "Who are you?" What does it mean to rely on such a thing? What's wrong with my twinkle light? ”
"Just by virtue of the structure of this sword, it can only be treated as a piece of garbage!" As a master craftsman, Gulyod could see at a glance the design flaws in the flickering light.
It is true that Tang Dou has a talent for runes, but he doesn't have the talent to build swords, and all his weapons are directly copied from the game anime of his previous life, with some improvements at most. But I have to say that the weapons in the game anime often only focus on the wind value, as long as it looks good, whether it is really suitable for real weapons, it is not necessarily.
In fact, in terms of its own structure, the flickering light did have its inherent weakness, this weakness was not only known to Tang Dou, but even Lin Xiao was faintly aware of it in the process of using it.
However, the former is suffering from the fact that he can't make a better one and can only put it for the time being, while the latter is not strong enough and has a comprehensive grasp of this subtlety.
When Tang Dou heard Gulyode's words, he knew that the other party was almost fooled, so he simply shut his mouth and waited for the other party to continue jumping into the pit.
The one who helped dig the pit was the half-elf girl.
"Why do you say my flickering light is bad? Who are you? Tell me what's wrong? Lin Xiao likes flickering light quite a lot, this is not only the first thing Tang Dou gave her, but also a token for her to become Tang Dou's personal disciple.
And Tang Dou is indeed quite attentive to the flickering light, and has improved it many times. Lin Xiao saw these in his eyes.
Therefore, Gulyod looked down on the flickering light, which was equivalent to looking down on Tang Dou, which made the half-elf girl explode on the spot.
"Hmph, I don't know the material of this sword, but just looking at the structural design, I know that the center of gravity of this sword is too forward, this is a stabbing sword, the emphasis is on speed and piercing, and the center of gravity is too high will only reduce the speed of the sword. Little girl, I think your strength should be almost at the gold level, and if you are diligent in cultivation, then you should also start to feel that this sword has begun to have some difficulties when you use it. No matter how much you try to improve yourself, you can't improve your speed, can you? ”
A great grandmaster is a great grandmaster. Just this vision made Tang Dou worship in his heart.
But it's because of his obedience, so he has to dig a pit even more.
If he didn't pit such a great master to the new workshop, he felt sorry for the laws of nature.
Sure enough, Lin Xiao, who was so strong, immediately blushed: "My strength is indeed slower, but this must not be a problem with the flickering light, you don't know anything, why do you say that the flickering light is not good." In order to improve the flickering light, Master stayed up so hard all night and used so many excellent materials, how could there be a problem? (To be continued.) )
