When the dinner was halfway through, everyone was in high spirits.

Makino is a good drinker, and under Meng Chen's special care, Alfred and Chris frequently raised their glasses to toast to Makino.

As for Meng Chen, since he only drank low-alcohol fruit wine, his spirit was still quite sober.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Meng Chen grinned and said, "Mu Island Master, Meng has something to ask for, I don't know if Mu Island Master is willing to agree?" ”

"No problem! With Brother Meng's kindness to Mu, what is there to order, how can Mu be unreasonable? Makino patted his chest and reassured.

Makino, who was slightly drunk, had already begun to call Meng Chen a brother.

Liu Yunyan saw that Muye was full of promises, and a trace of helplessness flashed between his eyebrows, but he did not say anything to stop it.

Meng Chen took the opportunity to say: "Mu Island Lord, Meng Mou accidentally obtained three cheats, but Meng Mou didn't know anything about it, so I want to ask Mu Island Master for some advice!" ”

"It turned out to be a decipherment of cheats! It's just a trifle...... Wrapped in Mu! The drunken Makino immediately agreed.

Meng Chen laughed and said, "The Lord of the Pastoral Island is really refreshing! Here, cheers! ”

With a smile on their faces, Meng Chen and Makino continued to drink heartily.

The whole dinner lasted almost three hours.

After the song ended, Meng Chen invited Muye and Liu Yunyan to rest in the vacant houses in the inner city.

Seeing Mu Ye and Liu Yunyan enter the residence, Meng Chen instructed Ellie beside him: "Let all the second-order scholars get ready, tomorrow I will take the Yunlan Island Lord and his wife to the library to interpret the cheats!" ”

"Yes! Your Lord! Ellie replied respectfully.

The cheats mentioned by Meng Chen were naturally the three martial arts cheats that were scraped from the martial artists who trespassed into the Earth Dragon Valley.

These three martial arts cheats are "Mixed Vitality", "Tempest Sword Duel" and "Jade Pillar Gong".

After discovering these three martial arts cheats, Meng Chen sent them to the library and ordered a second-order scholar to parse the cheats.

Once the resolution of the martial arts cheats reaches more than 80%, the corresponding skill book will appear in the library, which can be provided to soldiers or heroes to learn.

Note: Parsing is a core skill of a Tier 2 Scholar, and it is with this ability to absorb knowledge that a Tier 2 Scholar can be promoted to a Tier 3 Arcane Apprentice.

However, there is a mismatch between magic and martial arts, and even if scholars are already proficient in the language and writing of Southern Xinjiang, the resolution of these three secret books is very low.

The Tempest Sword Trick is the highest-resolution cheatbook, barely reaching about 20 percent, and that's because the cheats come with illustrations that make it more intuitive.

Since martial arts cultivation is very important, if there is a deviation in the analysis process, it will cause unpredictable serious consequences, so Meng Chen did not dare to trust other martial artists easily.

After getting along for a while, Meng Chen felt that Muye's character was not bad, and he shouldn't cheat himself casually.

Therefore, Meng Chen did everything possible to make Makino owe favors in the Hellfire Palace, in order to ask Makino to help and assist scholars in analyzing martial arts secrets.

。。。。。。

The next day, Meng Chen woke up from his sleep early.

Since Muye and Liu Yunyan were still in the inner city, Meng Chen did not resume the construction of the defense column.

However, Meng Chen retrieved the stone in the mine, and the miners resumed mining the energy ore.

According to the calendar of the people of southern Xinjiang, today is June 17.

At this time, the total population of the City of Hope has reached 6,556 people, including 1,200 farmers, 100 lumberjacks, 600 quarrymen, 200 coachmen, 100 miners, 20 butchers, 510 swordsmen, 490 marksmen, 572 elite swordsmen, 586 elite marksmen, 406 sword and shield warriors, 428 marksmen, 520 knights, 520 rangers, 30 elite knights, 30 elite rangers, 30 instructors, 10 arcane apprentices and mages, 20 scholars, 20 tailors, 40 blacksmiths, 20 carpenters, 20 leathermas, 20 cooks, 20 tomb keepers, 20 doctors, and 20 winemakers.

Among the six Tier 2 warehouses in the City of Hope, there are 42,160 units of wood (white), 82,480 units of stone (white), 612 units of metal (white/green), and 1786240 units of grain (white/green/blue).

As for Meng Chen's resource space, he has 71,240 gold coins, 328 soul power, 30,000/30,000 grain (blue), 622/3,000 wood (blue), 1,944/3,000 stone, and 2,980/3,000 metal (blue).

At present, the City of Hope is still relatively short of soul power points, and more than 300 soul power points are difficult to meet the needs of soldiers for promotion.

However, within a radius of 100 miles from Dilong Valley, it had already been swept by the hunting team several times, and it was difficult to find suitable prey in a short period of time.

Just as Meng Chen was worrying about his soul power, Ellie reported to Meng Chen: "Lord Lord, the Yunlan Island Lord and his wife have finished eating. ”

"Good!"

Meng Chen immediately went to the restaurant and invited the owner and wife of Yunlan Island to the library.

Since he had promised to guide Meng Chen last night, of course he would not regret it with Muye's character.

Accompanied by Meng Chen and Ellie, the Yunlan Island Master and his wife came to the library.

The Level 2 Library has a floor area of 2,000 square meters and can accommodate 200 residents of City of Hope at the same time.

Meng Chen led the Yunlan Island Lord and his wife to a reading room, where ten second-order scholars were standing aside with solemn expressions at the moment.

After seeing the ten scholars in gray robes, Makino said with a puzzled face: "What are they ......?"

Meng Chen said with a dry smile: "They are scholars from the City of Hope, and they are also very interested in martial arts cheats, so Meng also asked them to listen together." I hope that the owner of the island will not be surprised! ”

"I see!"

Makino didn't say much, just glanced at Liu Yunyan, and his mouth opened and closed slightly several times.

Then, Meng Chen waved his hand and beckoned a wooden box, in which were placed three ancient books, namely "Mixed Vitality", "Storm Sword Duel" and "Jade Pillar Gong".

Meng Chen moved the three cheats to Mu Ye and said with a smile: "Mu Island Master, the cheats that Meng got are these three books. ”

Makino picked up the Mixed Yuan Qi cheats, and after a little browsing, he said: "The Mixed Yuan Qi belongs to the ancient method of refining Qi, focusing on the accumulation of the Three Treasures of the Essence and Qi Spirit. Although the improvement of strength is minimal, it can prolong life and avoid all diseases. ”

Then, Makino picked up the Tempest Sword Recipe and glanced at it a few times, and said suspiciously: "The Tempest Sword Technique is just an ordinary sword move, and there are no obscure words in it. What is there to puzzle about the city lord Meng? “

"There are so many things I don't understand! What is the meaning of Qi Chong Shenmen sword pointing at the three yin? What is the tail plumb pendant spirit? Meng Chen muttered in his heart.

As a new-generation citizen living in the federal period, Meng Chen didn't even know how many acupuncture points there were in the human body.

As for the scholars in the City of Hope......

Ay! Their theoretical level is even worse than Meng Chen's!

Because there were so many questions, Meng Chen couldn't speak in person, so he could only let the scholars ask questions one after another.

After answering five questions in a row, Makino reacted, "Feeling these people in front of me, martial arts knowledge is basically zero!" ”
